BACKGROUND: 1. Economic Development a) Incentives The item provides the opportunity for elected officials from Orange County and the Town of Chapel Hill to discuss the possibility of a shared incentives policy. This potential idea arose during a discussion involving Town of Chapel Hill elected officials as Town staff began to draft a new work plan for the Town's recently developed Commercial Development Strategy. At the request of the County and Town Managers, Orange County Economic Development Director Steve Brantley and Town of Chapel Hill Economic Development Officer Dwight Bassett have been meeting over the course of the last few months to discuss best practices across the nation and targeted ideas that may positively affect the success of local economic development efforts. Attachment 1 a is intended to be a framework for conversation and the interest as expressed in this shared conversation among elected officials and will guide County and Town Managers' further efforts on this project. If there is sufficient interest in the areas outlined, work will move forward with other staff members to develop the first draft policy documents for further review. 2 Staff will provide any other information at the meeting, and the governing boards can discuss issues related to this item as necessary. Attachment la - Chapel Hill and Orange County Incentive Policy- Worksheet b) County Economic Development Districts and County Economic Development Activities In preparation for a brief presentation at the meeting, Orange County Economic Development Director Steve Brantley has provided the attached PowerPoint presentation. The attachment highlights Orange County Economic Development's various activities, to include: • Highlighting successful areas of mutual economic development cooperation between Orange County and the Town of Chapel Hill. • Promotion & financial support directed at the growth and retention of local entrepreneurial start-ups, small businesses, agricultural ventures and the arts throughout Orange County. • Examples of local use of the 1/4 cent sales tax proceeds for economic development (Article 46 funds) • Examples of overall business prospect recruitment activity & trends. • Recent local manufacturing assistance, and update on Orange County's Hillsborough Economic Development District & Buckhorn Economic Development District. Staff will provide any other information at the meeting, and the governing boards can discuss issues related to this item as necessary. Attachment lb - Orange County Economic Development Presentation to Board of Commissioners and Chapel Hill Town Council 2. Affordable Housing — Multi-Jurisdictional Task Force On March 22, 2016, Commissioner Bernadette Pelissier petitioned the Board of Commissioners to create a multijurisdictional work group composed of elected officials to guide Countywide, collaborative efforts on affordable housing. The Board of Commissioners discussed this topic during its work session on the Affordable Housing Strategic Plan as a way to coordinate programs and leverage resources. During that discussion, Board members asked staff to evaluate whether the existing HOME Committee could be used as the multijurisdictional entity by simply expanding its scope as an alternative to creating a new committee. The HOME Committee has many of the characteristics and orientation necessary to assume the responsibilities of a multijurisdictional affordable housing committee. 1. The purpose of the HOME Consortium is to allow jurisdictions to take a more regional and collaborative approach to affordable housing, recognizing that housing needs cross Town and County boundaries. 3 2. The Committee is already composed of representatives from Orange County, Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Hillsborough. 3. The HOME Consortium develops the Consolidated Plan which defines housing needs in the community and an annual Action Plan that describes the specific uses for federal housing funds. 4. The HOME Committee already uses a competitive request for proposal process for soliciting, reviewing, and selecting affordable housing projects. The attached table outlines additional tasks that may be required or suggested transition the HOME Committee into a Multijurisdictional Task Force on Affordable Housing. Staff will provide any other information at the meeting, and the governing boards can discuss issues related to this item as necessary. Attachment 2 — Operational Decisions Framework - Multi-Jurisdictional Affordable Housing Task Force 3. Solid Waste Management a) Solid Waste Programs Fee The Solid Waste Programs Fee has been recommended to remain at $107 for Fiscal Year 2016-17. In collaboration with the Town Managers, the County Manager has initiated a process to perform a rate study and create a long term financial plan for the enterprise fund, using the consultant SCS Engineers, PC. The study will not be concluded in time for discussion and endorsement by the Solid Waste Advisory Group (SWAG) or consideration by the various governing boards, so the recommendation was made to maintain the current fee until these discussions can be accomplished. The impetus for the study at this time is the escalating cost of some of the recycling services coupled with the substantive deterioration of recycling markets and loss of revenue. This study will take into account the financial implications of the recent closing of the municipal solid waste landfill and the associated loss of revenue as well as the $3 million expense paid from reserves to construct the final cap system required for closure and the reserve funding of recycling programs following the suspension of the 3-R Fee for two years. A long term financial plan, including annual fee projections and an analysis of the enterprise fund reserve structure, is an expected outcome of the study. The initial component of the study — Establishing the Financing Modeling (basis for revenues and expenses) and SCS's familiarization with the Enterprise Fund's Programs and Services — has been recently completed. Staff will provide any other information at the meeting, and the governing boards can discuss issues related to this item as necessary. No Attachments 4 b) Solid Waste Advisory Group (SWAG) Update The SWAG most recently met on May 25, 2016. The primary items on the agenda were: the County Manager's recommendation on the Solid Waste Programs Fee for Fiscal Year 2016-17; and the introduction to the SWAG of SCS Engineers, PC who presented an Interim Report on the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund Financial Planning study project. The previous SWAG meeting was held on March 30. The SWAG will be tracking and evaluating the outputs of the financial study as they are available in preparation for re-engaging on the Interlocal Agreement for Solid Waste Management that has currently been suspended pending the outcome of the financial component of the Agreement. The SWAG will also be involved in recommending solid waste program priorities, tracking the implementation of the rural curbside recycling program expansion, progress of the Eubanks Road Waste & Recycling Center modernization project and other issues as they arise such as mattress disposal, results of shred-a-thons, alternative means of disposal, etc. Staff will provide any other information at the meeting, and the governing boards can discuss issues related to this item as necessary. No Attachments 4. Joint Training Center for Public Safety Attachment 4 is a memorandum from Town and County staff providing background information for this topic. Staff will provide any other information at the meeting, and the governing boards can discuss issues related to this item. Attachment 4 — Memorandum - Joint Public Safety Training Facility 5. Report from Managers on Joint Efforts a) Outside Agency Funding Application For several years, Orange County and the Towns of Chapel Hill and Carrboro have issued a unified request for applications for outside agency funding. For the FY2016-17 funding cycle, changes were made to the application. The Third Sector Alliance, a membership group of nonprofits serving Orange County, provided feedback indicating challenges in completing and submitting applications. The survey summary (Attachment 5a) from the Alliance is attached as well as the corresponding full report (Attachment 5b) for your review. The County Manager and Town Manager intend to initiate a process this summer that will include Town staff, County staff and the Alliance to revise the funding application as well as exploring ways to provide an informative and interactive process that will assist in meeting the needs of the Third Sector Alliance and the local government Boards. 5 The Managers will provide any other information at the meeting and the governing boards can discuss issues related to this item as necessary. Attachment 5a-1 — Summary of Findings of Survey regarding FY '17 Orange Funding Application Attachment 5a-2 — FY17 Orange Funding Application Feedback (Third Sector Alliance Survey) b) Additional Items of Interest The Managers will provide information on other topics of interest at the meeting, and the governing boards can discuss issues related to these topics as necessary.

Initial discussions have identified a possible opportunity for a multi-jurisdictional/multi-discipline training facility. This project is a future project and will not need funding in fiscal year 2016-2017. The need for fire training facilities was a topic during the October 1, 2015 Orange County Commissioner's meeting with the County Fire Chiefs. The necessity of improved and/or new training facilities have been topics of conversation for multiple years. The Orange County Fire Chiefs support the concept of a multi-jurisdictional/joint training facility. Such a facility would maximize resources of the collaborating partners and provide additional opportunities for joint training. A sub-set of the Orange County Fire Chiefs have begun meeting to further the discussion and visioning process regarding training needs and the specific elements needed at the facility. As we continue to vision this facility, we strongly believe that additional synergy can occur from the inclusion of law enforcement and emergency service partners who also have a need for additional and updated training facilities. Informal conversations with several of these Chiefs and department heads have resulted in additional support for the project. The Community College system could also be an important partner in this initiative. Asheville Buncombe Technical Community College has demonstrated success in the development of a joint public training facility in Woodfin,North Carolina. Over the past several years the Triangle J Council of Governments has been assessing the feasibility of building a regional joint public safety training facility. While this is an important initiative, the regional site will not serve the day to day training needs of our County public safety entities. 20 Over the next several months our plan would be to pull together representatives of all public safety agencies in Orange County and the Community College to continue this conversation with the interest of bringing a proposal to the County Commissioners and the local elected bodies for additional action and consideration.

Comments for The questions posed in the narrative Program/Project Description section were sufficient to Date explain our proposed services" 1 Questions e and f seemed to be specifically for projects,not ongoing programs. 2/25/2016 12:01 PM 2 Questions B and C were very similar.Question D was similar to question C.Other than a projected timeframe, 2/17/2016 12:56 PM Question F was difficult to answer for CDBG funds since these funds are use for specific projects not a provided ongoing service.The program beneficiary demographics was difficult to answer in such detail,since we do not know who we will sell our homes to.We can project income ranges,but race and age are difficult to determine when looking into the future.It was especially difficult in regards to the CDBG request. 3 Some sections were tricky to translate into our structure of services.le.We serve families not individuals so that was 2/16/2016 12:17 PM difficult to place in their tables. # Comments for"The page limit in the narrative Program/Project Description section was sufficient to explain Date our proposed services" 1 I They allowed attachments;which is new 2/25/2016 2:52 PM 10 / 24 FY17 Orange Funding Application Feedback(Third Sector Alliance Survey) 35 2 4 pages would have been better 2/25/2016 11:14 AM 3 We were able to stay within the required limitations,however,it would have been better to ask one(maybe two) 2/17/2016 12:56 PM questions and give the agency more freedom to describe the program,rather than ask several redundant questions. 4 Very difficult providing all requested info/detail within the space provided 2/16/2016 2:07 PM 5 We needed more space to give justice to our programming and the need for the program in the county. 2/16/2016 12:17 PM Comments for"The Work Statement form provided a sufficient template/format for summarizing activities, Date goals,measures and results" 1 Hard to tell because I don't know if ffectively conveyed what I intended 2/25/2016 2:52 PM 2 I was unable to figure out the template and had to call Allen to get help.I was told there was a problem with the 2/25/2016 12:01 PM original one and did receive a"fixed"one.Even then,it took time to figure out how to use it. 3 We had several technical difficulties when completing this table.Data was repeatedly lost or wouldn't print correctly on 2/17/2016 12:56 PM the page.On the CDBG application,it was difficult as the projects we are applying for funds for today may not be the projects funded last year,so it is hard to compare over a span of time. 4 I struggle with this section-how to measure delivering meals and having social interaction as a goals and how to 2/16/2016 9:20 PM evaluate. 5 Excel within Word very difficult to work with. 2/16/2016 2:18 PM 6 Structure of chart did not flow logically and was limiting 2/16/2016 2:07 PM 7 The work statement form assumes generally that the goals do not change significantly from year to year and that they 2/16/2016 12:38 PM must translate from year to year/be consistent. 8 This part of the application was difficult to adjust and add items as needed without disrupting format.Also the text was 2/16/2016 12:32 PM unclear ass it appear text was superimposed and couldn't fix it. 9 Focuses too much on inputs and outputs and not outcomes.Schedule of positions does not accurately reflect the true 2/16/2016 12:17 PM cost of the program. 10 We complete this but it is not a useful way for us to describe our work. 2/16/2016 12:11 PM Comments for"The budget worksheets were straightforward and easy to complete(EXCLUDING technical difficulties)" 1 The insert Excel was difficult to work with and format,vs.the Excel file used in previous years. 2/26/2016 3:25 PM 2 Same as always 2/25/2016 2:52 PM 3 Had some technical difficulties.The spreadsheets in the application were not usable-only graphics-so I had to input 2/25/2016 2:22 PM the data into a spreadsheet and then add that page into the application.Makes it difficult to send electronically if you cannot scan the finished document in. 4 They seemed to be the same as in the past. 2/25/2016 12:01 PM 5 The program budget works okay for us,as we were able to adapt our operating budget to the budget form.However, 2/17/2016 12:56 PM on the CDBG application,the budget form did not apply at all.The projects have a budget.We just included our regular operating budget along with our own budget format for the CDBG application since we could fit the project budget into the provided format. 6 It was difficult to discern from the directions what was to be submitted.An example may be helpful. 2/16/2016 6:33 PM 7 Its very difficult to put our budget into this format both from a programmatic perspective,and the way it was embedded 2/16/2016 2:18 PM this year made nonfunctional 8 I'm used to these,but it is an extra and time consuming task.It would be better to ask for us to submit our financial 2/16/2016 12:11 PM review or audit,and our own budget.Why have your agency executives spend their time on this? Comments for"The budget detail(i.e.,cost per unit section)was straightforward and easy to complete" Date 1 I think it is tough to make a form that is a one size fits all;just wish we could present to the county. 2/25/2016 2:52 PM 2 The Cost Elements/Quantity/Unit of measure chart seemed redundant.Our program budget line items do not all fit into 2/25/2016 12:01 PM units of measure. 3 The budget detail actually was okay on the CDBG application,but it did not work with program services.Since we are 2/17/2016 12:56 PM asking for operating funding we provide multiple services,to multiple people,with varying costs associated.We skipped this question on the program services application as we could not figure out a way to answer it accurately. 4 Example was helpful 2/16/2016 6:33 PM 11 / 24 FY17 Orange Funding Application Feedback(Third Sector Alliance Survey) 36 5 not all components of our program fit into this cost per unit metric 2/16/2016 2:18 PM 6 Our services are not easily broken down into a clean,simple formula,as used in the example.It is very unclear what 2/16/2016 2:07 PM value this section provides to the review process given the wide ranging nature of services provided by different applicants. 7 I find this section to be duplicative and superfluous.I assume the idea is to be able to compare across agencies based 2/16/2016 12:38 PM on a cost efficiency metric,but I am pretty positive there is no way it translates.The program budget detail in this section was repetitive and way too detailed when we already provide a program budget. 8 Cost per unit section does not seem useful to me.Is it useful to the funding boards? 2/16/2016 12:11 PM 12 / 24 FY17 Orange Funding Application Feedback(Third Sector Alliance Survey) 37 Did you experience any technical/technology difficulties completing or submitting this application?

15 / 24 FY17 Orange Funding Application Feedback(Third Sector Alliance Survey) 40 4 Because I was unfamiliar with these new requirements I didn't have enough time to request this at a timely board 2/25/2016 3:50 PM meeting.I needed to turn these in at a later time than the grant deadline,it just stressed me out a little,but everyone from the town was so nice and supportive that next year it won't present any problems. 5 Typically,it might be hard for us to get these signed docs from our Board President;due to timing this year of our 2/25/2016 2:24 PM meeting,we were actually able to get him to sign these relatively easily.It would be better if we could provide online electronic signature. 6 It was a challenge to find where the definitions were. 2/25/2016 1:56 PM 7 My mistake was assuming the attachments would be the same as they had been for the past years.It was last minute 2/25/2016 12:12 PM that I noticed the new items and then I had no idea what was being asked for. 8 If Board Chair is signing off on application with Director this seems sufficient rather than having several forms including 2/25/2016 11:26 AM the Authorization to Request and Official Designation. 9 *Board approval:(1)I think it's ridiculous to require board approval for a grant application.It is well within the 2/21/2016 3:23 PM Executive Director's purview to submit grant applications,and the Board President's signature is required anyway.(2) The timing was not adequate to get approval from the entire board.We received the application in Nov,and we didn't have a board meeting in Nov or Dec because of the holidays.Our January board meeting was scheduled for the day after the application was due.*Authorized official designation:This wasn't difficult to obtain,as the board president was already needed to sign the application.But it is completely unnecessary--(1)It is already well within the ED's purview to sign contracts for the agency and(2)it's redundant if the board president is required to sign the application. 10 We had to do some research to figure out what the Authorized Official Designation was.This seemed a little 2/17/2016 1:05 PM unnecessary since we already had to show proof that the board authorized the request for funding.We did it,but it always creates an added inconvenience when you have to get the board's signature since they are not typically in the office.We had to have our board president come to the office twice to sign documents related to the application. 11 Seem like more hoops to jump through but they weren't difficult 2/16/2016 9:21 PM 12 New attachments should have been discussed at the session.It is very difficult to get Board signature between board 2/16/2016 2:27 PM meetings.We think like the proof of paying our recycling fee do not belong in a grant application. 13 If the Board Chair must sign the application in multiple places,shouldn't that imply board approval of the funding 2/16/2016 2:22 PM submission?Also,our agency does not require board approval for submission of every individual funding application and execution of each contract.The agency President has general approval for such actions.We had no board meeting minutes to document these permissions and had to craft a separate letter/memo to be signed by the Board Chair explaining this. 14 Thankfully,I remembered to get a letter well in advance from the Board chair.Otherwise,it would have been a 2/16/2016 12:56 PM challenge to submit the application on time. 15 I had no idea what these forms were and could not find an explanation in the presentation materials or email. 2/16/2016 12:35 PM 16 As these processes were new,both to the board and to the executive director,they required us to work outside of our 2/16/2016 12:29 PM board meeting schedule,and request quick action on the part of our board members to fulfill.Next year we'll have a better grasp on what's expected.It would be helpful to have these documents in hand before the month of December, so that we can plan around staff and board holiday schedules. 17 These two items were repetitive and unnecessary.With the timing,it was difficult to get the board to review something 2/16/2016 12:20 PM basically meaningless and repetitive. 18 Normally protocol is that the Executive Director informs the board of funding requests made not the other way around. 2/16/2016 12:18 PM 16 / 24 FY17 Orange Funding Application Feedback(Third Sector Alliance Survey) 41 u i Please rate how well your support needs were met by the County/Towns Answered:31 Skipped:4 Orientation session Written 17..mmil application...

of the new question regarding our"experience"with 2/26/2016 3:31 PM similar programs.The question is vague and doesn't specify what information is needed for the evaluation process. 3 This process

many 2/25/2016 12:12 PM questions.Because of the winter weather closings,the 3:00 Monday deadline caused a lot of anxiety.I had financial information that I could not get until closer to the application deadline,so the day Orange County,and our agency,was closed due to icy roads was a crucial work day.An extension of a day or even a few hours would have been very helpful. 17 / 24 FY17 Orange Funding Application Feedback(Third Sector Alliance Survey) 42 8 Needed more foc s on the changes at the Orientati n session and instructions. 2o5/2016 11:26 AM 9 While the length of time provided to complete the application was adequate,the timeline is during a difficult time of 2/21/2016 3:23 PM year.For example,getting required pieces from the Board is difficult during the holidays(see question 8).Additionally, the risk of snow/ice made it very difficult to complete the application on ume—wm/°I had the grant completed in advance of the deadline just in case of adverse weather,needing multiple original signatures from different people meant that 4 days of snow/ice before the deadline made it nearly impossible to complete.I tried to reach out to Chapel Hill staff multiple times(about a week in advance with questions about the app and again a couple days in advance with questions about the snow/ice deadline)and didn't get sufficient responses. 10 Especially with the storm,the deadline should have been extended.The application should have been available a lot 2/20/2016 10:00 PM earlier so that it wouldn't conflict with the end of the year holidays,etc. 11 We had a staff member attend the orientati n that left feeling like the process was very similar to previous years.This 2/17/2016 1:05 PM years application took a significant amount of additional time,which left us scrambling near the deadline.There was so much in the written m»muct/onn,it was hard to weed through what was important and what wasn't.The email communication regarding the orientation was confusing.We had several emails sent about the program orientation and the CDBG/HOME application with different information and from different people.We ended up attending one, that had apparently been moved to a different date.It was all very confusing.Loryn was available to Robert when he had questions on the application.The time provided was fine.If we had known the amount of time it was going to take to complete we could have adjusted accordingly and had less stress leading up to the deadline. 12 I think the month of January is busy for most of us finishing up year end.I'd like to see a Feb 15 deadline. 2/16/2016 9:21 PM 13 It was a challenge to get to the Instruction Documents and to find the Towns priorities. 2/16/2016 6:38 PM 14 We didn't realize that if we applied to Outside Agency/Human Services and CDBG we should fill in the application two 2/16/2016 4:04 PM times.We apply for different programs and it was deemed confusing to have so much unnecessary information for the CDBG reviewers.Then we had a winter storm in the days before the deadline which makes us even busier than usual. 15 The full application instructions were only available at one Agency website(Orange)instead of all 3.We got all our 2/16/2016 2:27 PM initial information from Town of Chapel Hill site,but found the Orange County website instructions and new attachments last minute. 16 The date of the Orientation was a conflict for many agencies.Staff representatives who did attend were led to believe 2/16/2016 2:22 PM there was no significant change to the process or documents,which did not hold true,and written materials did not help address changes that had been made.More communication from staff would have been helpful regarding the weather conditions that complicated the submission process in the days before the application was due. 17 A staff person attended the orientation session for me since I was unable to attend.The delay in posting the 2/16/2016 12:56 PM application and instructions on the County website reduced the time available to complete the application. 18 Instructions for the separate programs(i.e.human services,home,cgbd)would have help avoid some confusion with 2/16/2016 12:32 PM submission requirements.Time to complete application was also an issue due to inclement weather on Friday and no flexibility on deadline for submission on Monday.It was difficult for team members to do a final quality check on final application submitted as we were trying to meet deadline and get signatures from board. 19 First,all staff are pleasant and helpful to deal with.Second,the orientation session somehow did not convey how 2/16/2016 12:20 PM different the forms would be.I've been doing these a long time(since 1988.)Last year,it finally seemed streamlined and easier.Then,this year was a blow-up.In all due respect and appreciation,the form could be simpler,tidier,take less time,and be readable.(I don't see how it will be easier for the reviewers to handle.)Also,with each funder needing things in different formats,it was stressful and UN-unified.For example,we don't use flash drives why all of a sudden was this required? 18 / 24 FY17 Orange Funding Application Feedback(Third Sector Alliance Survey) 43 Q10 Please provide any comments or feedback you have about the consolidation of the Human Services funding application with the CCDBG and HOME applications (i.e., helpful? more complicated? had no impact?): �iuraY/eI d 28 SH i.fpod # Responses Date 1 I think this consolidation has made completion of the application more complicated,particularly for small non-profits 2/26/2016 4:43 PM with one-or two-person part-time staffing. 2 Found the combination application more complicated. 2/26/2016 3:56 PM 3 For those of us new to the CCDBG and HOME portions,it was a bit confusing.But,shouldn't be a problem. 2/26/2016 3:33 PM 4 Extremely helpful to streamline the process understandable signature pages be sogin r f 2/25/2016 4:33 PM 5 putting it on a flash drive made it a little bit more complicated for me.I like the idea of just sending it through the mail 2/25/2016 3:55 PM or email. 6 Great to be allowed to add attachments 2/25/2016 2:53 PM 7 As long as you can decipher what you need to complete vs not complete,its not really an issue.For someone not 2/25/2016 2:25 PM acquainted with this type of application,I can see where he/she may have issues. 8 My first year so I can't compare 2/25/2016 2:04 PM 9 Did not have any impact. 2/25/2016 12:53 PM 10 I will be applying not this round 2/25/2016 12:39 PM 11 I felt it was more complicated.There were questions better suited to projects,rather than ongoing programs. 2/25/2016 12:26 PM 12 Having helped to complete all of these applications in prior years,I think the consolidation had the opportunity to be 2/22/2016 12:50 PM helpful but instead made the process more complicated.It felt like the applications were combined into one simply by jamming them together,not by actually consolidating.Things that were asked on the main application were asked again on the supplemental parts but in a format just different enough to require a rewrite of the answer previously given. 13 The consolidation made it difficult to figure out the application.There were so many pieces to skip that it made it 2/21/2016 3:34 PM difficult to read what we were supposed to fill out.Different components of the application didn't seem to be divided properly be section.For example,section 3 is Project/Program Information,but it included the Schedule of Positions and the Conflicts of Interest forms,which were the same for both programs and therefore should have been included in section 2(Agency Information).Having those pieces under section 3 made it confusing when we needed to repeat section 3 for our second program. 14 N/A 2/20/2016 10:04 PM 15 If the consolidation is the reason for the additional complexity added to the Human Services application,then it made 2/17/2016 6:37 PM it more complicated--WAY more complicated. 16 Combining the two applications made it confusing,much more complicated,and a lot more work.Several questions 2/17/2016 1:23 PM applied to Human Services,but not CDBG/HOME and visa versa.They are two completely different types of funding, often used for two completely different purposes and it was impossible to fit them both into the same"box."If they wanted to combine applications,it would have made more sense to have the AHDR fund application(which was much easier and streamlined)and the CDBG/HOME funds together since they are more similar in nature. 17 no impact 2/16/2016 9:22 PM 18 Wasn't a problem for Friends 2/16/2016 6:39 PM 19 If it would have been explained that we needed to turn it in separately it would have been fine. 2/16/2016 4:06 PM 19 / 24 FY17 Orange Funding Application Feedback(Third Sector Alliance Survey) 44 20 If consolidation was what let to the additionally required agency attachments or changes to the cost per until and 2/16/2016 2:33 PM scope of work charts,then the result was increased complication/difficulty.If those changes were independent of the consolidation of the apps,then no impact. 21 no comment(we applied only for Human Services).Directions were clear. 2/16/2016 2:31 PM 22 No impact-since we do not apply for those other funds. 2/16/2016 1:00 PM 23 More complicated and confusing. 2/16/2016 12:39 PM 24 Its a bit more difficult to see what was required or not from different applications-specially in terms of attachments. 2/16/2016 12:38 PM Having a table format may help see what was needed for each.The word document instructions were difficult to follow. 25 This made the application more complicated due to the different methods needed for delivery! 2/16/2016 12:32 PM 26 In my opinion it was not a good idea to combine.It just made things messy. 2/16/2016 12:24 PM 27 No impact. 2/16/2016 12:24 PM 28 I have found the staff at all three agencies very helpful.I have called for clarification and they do an awesome job 2/16/2016 12:21 PM guiding. 20 / 24 FY17 Orange Funding Application Feedback(Third Sector Alliance Survey) 45 al 1 Please describe any other challenges or issues, not already addressed, that were experienced completing and/or submitting the application: sv md: "I mwppem�a� � Responses Date 1 The application

them being due right after a short week(due to the MLK holiday),at 2pm(instead of the previous 5pm),and right after a Friday snow day was not ideal. In this day and age,having to burn the files onto a CD or save them on a flash drive and mail or deliver them somewhere in town seems outdated,in additional to a specified (and large)number of paper copies for some applications,and email submittal.In addition,it didn't actually say anywhere on the instructions where the applications should be mailed/delivered to.Assumedly the addresses on the cover page of the instructions serve for the Human Services funding,but the address for the HOME application(which is different)was never given. 7 What was requested was not clear. 2/20/2016 10:04 PM 8 It is always challenging for IFC because we apply for different programs(food,shelter,support circles). 2/16/2016 4:06 PM 9 Submission seems overly complicated and difficult email submissions,cd-rom/thumb drives,hard copy delivery of a 2/16/2016 2:33 PM varying number of signed originals and copies,etc.The bad weather created added difficulty and stress due to office closures on the Friday before the deadline and poor road/driving conditions on the Monday of the due date.An extension of the due date to Tuesday would have been appreciated. 10 Completing 3 separate applications for different of our programs was much more complicated and increased the risk of 2/16/2016 1:00 PM making mistakes or omissions for the different jurisdictions. 11 Also,given the changes and our conflict to attend the orientation meeting,we were expecting to see an audio/video 2/16/2016 12:38 PM recording of the session...beyond the online materials to understand process better. 12 The entire process was difficult,from the lack of written/clear instructions,to the low support of staff in understanding 2/16/2016 12:32 PM or correctly responding to questions,to attempting to understand exactly what financial data was needed,to trying to get the data on the document.For an organization needing more than one person to work on the application,the process was very unfriendly.Very often,a financial employee needs to access the application along with a program employee.This application was not conducive to more than one person from the agency working on it. 13 see above 2/16/2016 12:24 PM 14 I always ask if I do not know.Again,staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. 2/16/2016 12:21 PM 21 / 24 FY17 Orange Funding Application Feedback(Third Sector Alliance Survey) 46 C)12 Please provide any suggestions you have for improving the application materials or process. swa,aa: m Skip 141, � Responses Date 1 It wo ld be very helpful to offe workshops more than once prior to the grant application cycle,and perhaps once 2/26/2016 4:43 PM during the cycle. 2 Is it possible to have one method of submitting the application to all government entities?Such as,send an email with 2/26/2016 3:56 PM the application as a word doc,as separate excel nwn,with the signed application as a PoF,plus digital copies of all attachements. 3 Maybe at the orientation they can use a grant that was well written/documented to show us an example of what the 2/25/2016 3:55 PM towns are looking for. 4 Wish I could present to Orange in person 2/25/2016 2:53 PM 5 nu 2/25/2016 2:25 PM 6 None 2/25/2016 12:53 PM 7 NA 2/25/2016 12:39 PM 8 If there are to be changes,have the orientation address the changes.Past orientations may have been a little bit too 2/25/2016 12:26 PM detailed,but anything new had always been clearly explained.There was nothing in the orientation regarding the changes,especially the authorization attachments.There were opportunities to look at the few applications available during the orientation,but that was not sufficient. 9 A 2 to 3 year funding cycle with annual budgeting should be considered.The full application process then woudl only 2o5/2016 11:29 AM have to be done every 2-3 years. 10 It would be great if everything for all applications could be submitted electronically,if not by email(where sometimes 2/22/2016 12:50 PM large file sizes pose a problem)then by a file upload service such as dropbox. 11 Separate human services from other funding. Re-arrange components in a wa that makes it easier to complete the 2/21/2016 3:34 PM application for multiple programs. Simplify the budget.The program budget detail,cost elements,and cost per unit don't make a lot of sense.We already have comprehensive budgets prepared that are more than adequate for all of our federal and state grants,and then we have to completely re-work the budget for this application,which takes a great deal of staff time. Allow the budget to be included as an attachment rather than embedded,which never seems to work properly. Allow the application to be submitted electronically so we don't have to deliver apps in person or organize a thousand paper copies. 12 Greater clarity.Application available much earlier.More explanations at the orientation.Opportunity to ask questions 2/20/2016 10:04 PM perhaps a session after the orientation. 13 Simplify;remove the section about program budget detail since already have the overall program budget spreadsheet; 2/17/2016 6:37 PM remove the section about unit cost as I do not believe it achieves what you are going for. 14 By including the Schedule of Positions in the body of the application,it limits who can work on the application and 2/17/2016 1:23 PM organize the finished product,since salary data is included.It would be nice if this was a separate worksheet(like the budget)that would allow someone to put together the entire application and then someone else could just add the confidential salary information at the end.It also would be good if we could have an online application and be able to upload documents instead of making multiple copies and using jump drives. 15 We operate on a calendar year I find it onerous to try to repackage our budget and statistics into the July 1 fiscal year 2/16/2016 9:22 PM but I don't see any solution to it 16 For those of us who apply every year,some fields could be prepopulated. 2/16/2016 4:06 PM 17 Enhance logic model section,eliminate'cost per unit' section,make submission guidelines consistent across 2/16/2016 2:33 PM Towns/County 22 / 24 FY17 Orange Funding Application Feedback(Third Sector Alliance Survey) 47 18 As a non-profit agency,we have received ongoing support from Orange Co/Town of CH/Carr and want to continue to 2/16/2016 12:38 PM comply w/application instructions and/or new requirements.However,we also have conflicting priorities during orientation with another orange county agency that is helping our families and children.Having a little more flexibility to have the mandatory orientation or making video/audio recordings from that meeting available will be extremely helpful moving forward in order to submit a high quality application.Thank you! 19 Chatham County and United Way of Chatham County use a very friendly grant process where an organization can 2/16/2016 12:32 PM easily have more than one person work on the document.All one must do is pull up their site and enter your own username and password.The application is there for whoever needs to input information.You can maneuver around in the document and enter data,save it,and close without losing data.The process for delivering the application is the same for both organizations.The process has clearly been tweaked in order to work with nonprofits making it much more simpler for small,understaffed agencies. 20 UN-COMBINE with the federal applications.We do not seek federal funding because of these issues.What we 2/16/2016 12:24 PM appreciate about the local process is that the people involved know us,it is local,and unnecessary information is not requested.All these different materials just mean the proc ss was a red-hot mess rather than a chance to communication successes and goals with friendly,supportive funders,as it is at best. 21 Make sections in the combined application for splicing out what each pot of money is paying for.This gets especially 2/16/2016 12:24 PM difficult 23 / 24 FY17 Orange Funding Application Feedback(Third Sector Alliance Survey) 48 ���� Any final comments? *mmwa,aa: "Ie Skip 1e Responses Date 1 I think that we are enormously lucky to live in a community that believes in what us non-profits do each day.the town 2/25/2016 3:55 PM board/members/community has been so supportive every year,they are intelligent,kind and caring people.I can't thank them enough. 2 thanks 2/25/2016 2:53 PM 3 nu 2/25/2016 2:25 PM 4 No 2/25/2016 12:53 PM 5 None 2/25/2016 12:39 PM 6 We are grateful for the County and Town support of our programs and want to work together to be as efficient as 2/25/2016 11:29 AM possible while serving Orange County residents. 7 I suppose another re-write next year of the application is unlikely,but it would be great to see.I don't know what the 2/22/2016 12:50 PM process was this year,but it seems like a lot more feedback from funded organizations needs to be taken into account. In the past we have received Human Services funding from Chapel Hill and Carrboro as well as Orange County,but we decided not to apply for these two this year,because the funding amount received is not worth the large amount of staff time and effort needed to complete the applications(given that all three Human Services,CDBG,HOME,and CH AHDR applications are all due on the same day).I am happy to provide additional feedback and specific examples if you wish.Thanks! 8 Glad you're doing this survey. 2/20/2016 10:04 PM 9 I think combining the applications did not work.There is a difference between program(operating)funding and project 2/17/2016 1:23 PM funding and there needs to applications(I don't know who they can reasonably be on one)that recognize the differences and asks questions that apply and are useful when making a decision.The AHDR application was good, and I think it would have made complete sense to include HOME/CDBG on this one application. 10 We appreciate the opportunity to apply for much needed funding for our safety net services. 2/16/2016 4:06 PM 11 Of the 7-10 annual applications I do for my service area/department every year,this application is the most onerous. 2/16/2016 2:33 PM Our Budget and Contracts Manager,who assists with budgeting docs and supplemental materials,feels the same. 12 We apply for multiple Federal,state,private sector and local grants annually and this process is by far one of the most 2/16/2016 2:31 PM difficult.Any effort to streamline/simplify would be greatly appreciated.Electronic submission would be preferred over hard copy delivery.Top 3 issues this year: 1)not being able to locate full set of instructions;2)Excel Tables in Word, 3)New Attachments 13 I have alwa »munumeunx»anumnowuprevvnvvrmeneu,mumeuomntsmuememvst°xxu"m/v°anuconfu»mu 2/16/2016 12:39 PM of any other grant we apply for.On top of that,we receive the least amount of funding for what takes a ton of time and resources to put together.The flash drives,multiple copies and hearings on top of the submission for$2,000 to$4,000 is difficult to stomach.The combination of all three opportunities seems convenient but is not.And since we are talking three difference funding sources in one shot(as well as visibility in Orange County)it is also impossible to NOT participate. 14 Thank you for the new option to submit attac ments in an USB drive and not having to print those out.Very prac u,/. 2/16o016 12:38 PM In general,I think the new process is helpful but just flexibility in coaching us through change is much needed with agencies like us that are trying our best to serve our community despite limited resources(i.e.time and staff).Thank you 15 Thanks for everyones work on this.I know that not all local governments fund agencies.The fact that ours do is a big 2/16/2016 12:24 PM reason our community is so great.I know it takes a lot of staff and volunteer work. 16 I really like the combined application.It helps keep continuity,support for the county as a whole,and each group 2/16/2016 12:21 PM knowing what the other is doing.Thank you for the opportunity. 24 / 24 49 Attachment 6 MEMORANDUM TO: Bonnie M. Hammersley, Orange County Manager Roger Stancil, Chapel Hill Town Manager FROM: Barry McLamb, Town of Chapel Hill Emergency Management Coordinator DATE: May 27, 2016 RE: Town of Chapel Hill Construction Projects This summer there are a large number of road construction projects occurring in the Town of Chapel Hill that will have significant impact the community. These projects includes large commercial construction projects and construction for commercial fiber networks. The road work portion of the projects represents a $9 million investment in the community infrastructure and more than eight months of planning and preparation in some cases. In 2013, the Town faced a similar situation with numerous projects that were impacting the southern entry to Chapel Hill. The Emergency Management Coordinator at the time was asked by the Town Manager to take the lead and form a team to ensure effective communication and coordination took place before and during the impacts. Using Incident Management System principles common to everyday fire service operations, EMC Robert Bosworth was able to form a cross-functional team of town staff to address the challenges we faced that summer. Based on the success of that team, the Town Manager has again asked that the Emergency Management Coordinator to lead another cross-functional team to work on projects impacting traffic around Chapel Hill. Unlike 2013, this year's projects are spread throughout Town rather than being isolated to one area, which has provided a somewhat different dimension and challenge to the team. As we found out three years ago, over-communicating is an important aspect of keeping the community informed. The communication strategy involves a multi-pronged approach that includes websites, newsletters, social media,public information meetings,post cards, trash can hangers, and mailer inserts. In partnership with OWASA, information on the projects and links to the Town's project website will appear on water bills. We have also partnered with the Chapel Hill Downton Commission to offer information sessions to their members. Below is a list of the current road construction projects that are either underway or will be shortly: • Ephesus-Fordham Frontage Road Connection (Super Street U-Turn) • Ephesus Church-Fordham Blvd Intersection Improvements • Ephesus-Fordham Frontage Road Improvements (Ram's Plaza) • Rosemary Street Improvement Projects • Ridge Road Reconstruction • Friday Center Drive • Street Resurfacing (various locations) 50 • NCDOT Resurfacing: South Road, Columbia Street, Other projects impacting traffic include: • AC Hotel Construction: East Rosemary and Church Streets • Carolina Square Development: East Franklin Street • Evolve 1701 North(Charterwood): Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd • Fiber Network Construction: AT&T and Google—throughout Town • OWASA water line replacement: Henderson, Rosemary, Hillsborough Streets • Weaver Crossing Development: Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd and Weaver Dairy Road Additional information about these road construction projects can be found at the following web address: http://www.townofchapelhill.org/roadwork A copy of an information flyer is attached to this memorandum.
