The Commission continues to affirm its role as an advocate for women through research, resolutions, and position statements to the Orange County Board of Commissioners and other governing boards. Information-referral activities are also a high priority as can be seen through expanded client contact and the coordinator's leadership role to produce a computer based information system for Orange County. The function of the Commission as a coordinating agency for women is continually enhanced through (1) careful review of programs and resultant recommendations to the Board of Commissioners on budget support for outside - agencies serving the special needs of women, (2) expanded use of the Commission office by outside agencies, and (3) growing use of the Commission as a resource center on women's issues. The Commission appreciates the longstanding support of the Orange County Board of Commissioners, and pledges renewed efforts to improve the status of women in Orange County.

INTRODUCTION After nine years as an agency of Orange County government, the role of the Commission for Women as an advocate for women in need is firmly estab- lished. Improved employment for women remains as the motivating cause behind Commission projects. Major 1984-85 projects were (1) a comprehensive review of the Job Training Partnership Act and its impact on Orange County women, (2) com- pletion of data collection for the county-wide computer based information- referral system, (3) research and policy analysis of sexual harassment in the workplace, and (4) a survey of 80 public and private sector employers on employee fringe benefits. A review of Orange County's affirmative action - plan was cancelled due to the relocation and resignation of the chair of this committee. Internal activities included (1) an in-depth half day orientation for new members, (2) expanded coordination with other agencies on a wide range of human service projects, (3) increased client contact through office drop-in and phone referrals, (4) bi-monthly programs to increase members' knowledge on specific issues, (5) recruitment and training of an intern • from the UNC Women's Studies Program, and '(6) extensive contact with the legislature on bill affecting women. Once again, through the efforts of one Commission member, the Piedmont Technical Institute-sponsored GED class successfully continued. Finally, the Commission applied for and was awarded a mini-grant to hold • a Fall, 1985 half day workshop on how to start your own business. A planning retreat in January and recruitment of new members to implement the fall work- , shop and other adopted goals rounded out a busy year Orange County Commission for Women • 131 Court Street • Hillsborough, NC 27278 Hillsborough: 732-8181 • Chapel Hill: 967-9251 • Mebane: 227-2031 - Durham: 688-7331 • %. 006 COMMISSION FOR WOMEN ANNUAL REPORT, 1984-85 Page 2 II. OPERATIONS Office. Administrative Secretary Rita Berman left her Commission post in December 1984 to become Communications Specialists with the Federal Credit Union in the Research Triangle Park. The vacancy was filled in February, 1985 by Carolyn Lupo of Cary. Ms. Lupo brings strong administrative and organi- zational skills to. this position. More importantly, she is an ardent feminist with a clear vision of what the Commission should be doing as an advocate for women. Maldy Hodge has been with the Commission as Clerk/Receptionist since March, 1984 under the auspices of the National Caucus and Center on Black. Aged program through the Orange County Department on Aging. This year she - has assumed greater and greater responsibility for record keeping, purchasing, filing and mailings to Commission members. During the Spring semester, Laura Yost served as an intern with the . Commission through the UNC Women's Studies Program, Ms. Yost provided technical assistance to collect and analyze data for review of the Job Training Partner- ship Act. Membership/Orientation. The Commission began the year with 15 members representing six of the seven Orange County townships. Only Cheeks township was not represented. A half day orientation planned by Rita Berman and Dana Baldwin was held • in September. New Commission members were briefed about the role of a Commission member and the power inherent in such an appointive position. During the yeas relocation or work conflict resulted in the resignation of Judy McNeil (October, 1984), Edith Hubbard (December, 1984), Bettye Clark (April, 1985) and Elaine Parker (April, 1985). Alethea Burt resigned in March, 1985 due to serious health problems. Evelyn Poole-Kober of Hillsborough township resigned in November, 1984. During the 1983-84 reorganization, the Executive Committee was assigned to handle membership with second vice-Chair Dana Baldwin chairing the Committee. As a result the recruitment and interview process has been greatly improved. The membership has recommended filling vacancies and orienting new members immediately instead of filling vacancies and expiring terms at the same time. The Commission begins the 1985-86 year with 14 members representing five townships, with Cheeks and Cedar Grove townships unrepresented. Of the 14 new members, 8 are black and 9 are white; all are employed; and they range in age from 35 to 62. Occupations and interest represented include family therapist; editor; peer counselor; employment counselor; accountant; psychotherapist; church, school, community volunteers; precinct chair; etc. -007 COMMISSION FOR WOMEN ANNUAL REPORT, 1984-85 Page 3 Programs. Judy McNeil served as 1st vice-Chair and Program Chair until October, 1984. Judy Eastman assumed these responsibilities in February 1985. An installation of new members and officers was held in July at Alexander's Restaurant in Durham. Beverly Blythe, Clerk to the Commissioners, pertained the swearing-in ceremony. • The October 1984 and January 1985 meetings included speakers from the Central Piedmont Employment and Training Office and the Employment Security Commission. They discussed the Job Training Partnership Acts Florrie Glasser spoke at the March, 1985 meeting on flexible fringe benefits. This program informed members about the research of the Commission's Employment Task Force, chaired by Lani Cartier. Connie Renz and Fred Stang spoke on behalf of the Orange/Durham Coalition - for Battered Women in- April. The Commission adopted a resolution to the • legislature endorsing expanded funds for domestic violence programs. In May, the JTPA Committee, co-chaired by Claudine Harris and Alice Holt, presented an interim report. Laura Yost reviewed population program data.and responded to questions from Commission members. Sylvia Price, Director of the Orange County Economic Development Commission, spoke in June. She discussed how increased business expansion can improve em- ployment opportunities for women and the role the Commission might play in supporting appropriate business development. III. ACTIVITIES Employment Task Force. Commission member Evelyn Poole-Kober and private sector representative Audrey Evarts chaired this committee until November, 1984 when Ms. Kober resigned from the Commission. Lani Cartier, who was appointed to take her place, provided able leadership as the Co-Chair representing the Commission. Judy Eastman was appointed to the Committee in August. The Task Force produced and distributed a survey on fringe benefits to about 120 Orange County employers. More than 90 responses were received and entered in the County's computer for tabulation. The Employee Benefit Research Institute of Washington, D. C. , was contacted for nationwide research results and publications on fringe benefits. From the Women's Bureau of the U. S. Department of Labor, a commercial video tape was borrowed and, through the generosity of the Village Companies, reproduced for the Commission's library. Catawba County, identified as having a flexible fringe benefit package for all county government employees, sent a detailed description of- its plan. In addition, several identified private sector employers were contacted for information regarding flexible fringe benefits. COMMISSION FOR WOMEN ANNUAL REPORT, 1984-85 Page 4 008 The Task Force ends the year having decided to send its recommenda- tions to government units urging them to be model employers by adopting a flexible benefit approach. Pursuant to this decision, a letter was sent to our legislative delegation endorsing Senator Lure Tally's bill to create - a commission to study flexible benefits for state employees. The Task Force will draft its report in July and be ready to report to the Commission and the County Commissioners by September. JobTrair 'ship. Claudine Harris and Alice Holt served as co-chairs • of the study committee to review JTPA services to Orange County. Serving on the committee were Dana Baldwin, Ann McPherson, Elaine Parker and Bettye Clark. The Committee educated itself on JTPA through several means. JTPA staff were invited to speak at two regular Commission meetings, documents such as the local consortium agreement and articles reviewing the law were studied, meetings of the Private Industry Council were attended, and training sites were visited. In addition, staff and PIC members were interviewed. Laura Yost, a ZINC intern with the Women's Studies Program, collected and assisted to analyze census and program data. She presented an interim report to the Commission in May, 1985. Commission coordinator Verla Insko directed the project, supervised the data analysis, and drafted the final report which was adopted by the Commission at its June, 1985 meeting. The study showed women are being underserved in several ways. Women . continue to be trained and placed in low paying traditional positions. Women were underrepresented in on-the-job training and direct placement position courses. A formal presentation will be made to the Orange County Board of Commissioners and the Private Industry Council in August. (See files for copy of report.) Sexual Harassment Policy. In late fall, the Commission became aware of concerns shared by several women in the Chapel Hill Police Department about on the job sexual harassment. An ad hoc committee was formed to collect information on model personnel policies relating to sexual harass- ment. In January; the Committee drafted a resolution to the Chapel Hill Town Council requesting a review of the town's policy and of the practices in the police department. Verla Insko and Dana Baldwin met with Pat Crotts, Personnel Director for the town of Chapel Hill. They also conferred with town attorney Granger Barrett and Orange County attorney Geoff Gledhill. Several outcomes resulted from the project as follows: (1) Chapel Hill revised its policy on sexual harassment and included information supplied by the Commission; (2) Orange County's policy on sexual harassment was reviewed and commented on; (3) letters were sent to other municipalities requesting information on their sexual harassment policies (the town of Hillsborough responded seeking assistance and information); and (4) a sexual harassment prevention workshop was included in the 1985-86 budget request. _ . _ COMMISSION FOR WOMEN ANNUAL REPORT, 1984-85 Page 5 009 IV. INFORMATION/REFERRAL, Direct Service. Direct service the clients, seeking assistance has increased to the maximum possible with existing staff and current office hours. As of June 30 the following client contacts were made during the fiscal year: Child Care 77 Child Custody/Support 7 Divorce 20 Discrimination 1 • • Domestic Violence 12 Economic/Employment 69 • Education 32 Health 6 Housing 3 Information 94 Legal Rights/Legislative 9 Other 86 Total 416 Computer Based I/F Directory. Significant progress was made on the computerized information collection system during the year. Based on plans made in 1983-84, the Commission designed and mailed infor- mation collection forms to more than 250 agencies. Carolyn Lupo and Maldy Hodge received and edited the forms. Ms. Hodge maintained records and coordinated with Inter Faith Council volunteers to contact agencies not responding. Ms. Lupo developed an extensive topical index in addition to editing entries. The I/R steering committee was expanded to include representatives from the University and both school systems. The HSAC I/R Committee reviewed the project and commented on possible changes. As of June 30, all received entries had been edited and sent to Orange County Library for data entry. The first complete card file and directory should be published in July or Aug. Coordinating with Other Agencies. The Commission regularly coordinates with all other Orange County human services department, six legal private non-profit community agencies, the North Carolina Council on the Status of Women and other community organizations dealing with women. Rita' Berman and Verla Insko attended meetings of the Association of Community Agencies. Ms. Insko attended meetings of the Human Services Advisory Commission and served as chair of its Information Referral Committee. She continues as a member of the Orange County Women's Center advisory board and served this year as chair of the Women's Center Nominating Committee. In January, Ms. Insko was named a Division Advisory Group (DAG) member for the Chapel Hill- Carrboro Chamber of Commerce. In March the Commission nominated Verla Insko as Women of the Year for the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Council of Women's Organizations. She was selected to receive the award at the annual April luncheon. C0 FOR WOMEN ANNUAL REPORT, 1984-85 Page 6 10 In February, the Commission nominated Betty Compton for a Distinguished Women of North Carolina Award. Ms. Compton is an Orange County nurse practitioner who has pioneered medical care improvement for rural N. C. communities through nurse practioner services. Rita Berman worked throughout the fall with the Orange Congregations in Mission to develop a financial counseling program for displaced Cone Mill workers'. This staff ad hoc project is only one example of the Commission's response to community problems. During the budget process, the Executive Committee reviewed budget request from Child Care Network, Rape Crisis, Women's Health Counseling Service, the Coalition for Battered Women, the Women's Center and Planned Parenthood of Orange County. Recommendations were made to the Orange County Board of Commissioners regarding the level of funding these agencies should receive from Orange County. The Commission's recommendations had an obvious impact on funding decisions. V. OTHER ACTIVITIES Legislation. Legislative Liaison for the Commission, Carolyn Lupo, re- searched spouse abuse and domestic violence legislation, and drafted appropriate resolutions and letters on behalf of the Commission. She also followed legislation to set up a study Commission for pay equity and flex- ible fringe benefits for state personnel. Letters were also sent to our legislative delegation on these matters. In addition, Ms. Lupo attended a lobbying session sponsored by the Governor's Task Force on Domestic Violence and visited Orange County legislators. Copies of correspondence and resolutions were shared with other Councils across the state and with the North Carolina Council on the Status of Women. 1985-86 Mini Grant. The Commission applied for and was awarded a mini-grant in the amount of $500.00 to hold a half day workshop on how to start your own business. The workshop must be held in Hillsborough before December,1985. Preliminary planning is underway, a- tentative date of September 21 has been established. Harriet Berry Road Project. In May, 1985 the Commission was contacted by Regional Coordinator Kathy Harrelson with information on a Hillsborough • native, Harriet Berry, who was a leader of the "good roads" movement in the 1920's. The North Carolina Council on the Status of Women through Ms. Harrelson, requested the Commission to pursue having an Orange County road named in honor of Ms. Berry. The Executive Committee endorsed the project to be completed in 1985.86. Budget Expansion Request. The Commission requested expansion of staff support for the 1985-86 budget year. Commission members were active in this effort to obtain adequate support from the Board of Commissioners for the approved projects. 011 COMMISSION FOR WOMEN ANNUAL REPORT, 1984-85 Page 7 Final Note: As in previous years, Kathy Harrelson, Regional Coordinator for the North Carolina Council on the Status of Women, provided helpful and timely assistance to the Commission. Her support and wise counsel are greatly appreciated. The 1985-86 annual report fo the Orange County Commission for Women was prepared by Coordinator Verla Insko and reviewed and approved by the mem- bership as follows: Dana Baldwin Lani Cartier Judy Eastman Claudine Harris Alice Holt Gail McClain Hayes Ann McPherson Ruth Royster Judith Wegner • VCl/cel • 012 MMGE COUNTY BOARD CF COMMISSIONERS Action Agenda ACTION AGENA rrEm ABSTRACT Item No. Fl Meeting Date: SEPTEMBER 17, 1985 SUBJECT: MINA= FOR THE COMM CF MASSAGE AND MASSAGE ESMBLISHMENTS DEPARIMENT: COUNTY MANAGER PUBLIC HEARIM: Yes X NO AmaimENT(5): INFORMATION COMM: MAW= S OFFICE OR COUNTY ATNENEY TELEPHONE NUMBER: LETTER FRAM CCIThWY ATTORNEY Hillsborough -732-8181 Chapel Hill - 968-4501 Mebane - 227-2031 Durham - 688-7331 PURPOSE: lb continue consideration of the proposed ordinance with parti- cular attention to aspects assigned for further staff study. NEED: Attached letter addresses the Board's questions raised at the August 20, 1985. RECOKMENTION(S) : If the Board decides to exercise its regulatory authority for this purpose, the August 20, 1985 ordinance draft is recommended for adoption with the following changes subject to the ordinance, as revised, also being approved by the Attorney General: 1. Amend Sec 1-4, (3), (1) to add the disclosure of any aliases, address changes over the prior 10 years (both owned businesses and residences), sex, social security number (optional), and past military nurdoer; 2. Substitute a new Sec 1-4, (C) to wit: The applicant shall submit as pert of the application two recent photographs of the applicant's head and shoulders, of a size and quality prescribed by the County Manager; 3. Delete Sec 1-4 (C), 1 and substitute a new Sec 1-4 CD) which reads: If after completing the preliminary investigation of the applicant using the information obtained from the applicant required above, the Sheriff shall deem it necessary to positively identify the applicant in order to confirm a fact necessary for the applicant to be licensed, the Sheriff shall present the information upon which he has 013 nude this determination to one of the Judges of the District Court in the 15B Judicial District. If the Judge shall determine, from the information presented by the Sheriff, that there is probable cause to believe that a fact revealed in the Sheriff's investigation would dis- qualify an applicant from receiving a license under this ordinance, the Judge shall order and authorize the Sheriff to confirm that fact by the use of fingerprints. When such an order is issued, it shall be the added responsibility of the applicant to submit his or her fingerprints, taken by the Orange County Sheriff's Department, as part of the application required in subsection ON of this section. 4. Add an additional "Section 1-12. Transfer of License Prohibited"; 5. Add similar revisions as outlined in 1 tharugh 4 above to licensing requirements under Section 1-3.

Margaret Lane Hillsborough, North Carolina 27278 Re: Massage Ordinance Dear Board Members: During the public hearing on the ordinance under consideration by the Board which would establish licensing requirements for massage therapists, several questions were posed by the Board. Mr. Thompson and I have been attempting to address those questions. At this time we have determined the following: Question: Can the licensing requirements of the ordinance be limited to establishments employing one or more massage practitioners? It is our view that such a limitation on the licensing requirements has the potential to create a "loophole" in the licensing provisions of the ordinance through which any establishment could slip through. This is so because the legal entity which is the establishment can be divided into any number of separate legal entities in a manner which would exempt all from the licensing requirement. Question: How long a period must a person have a "clean" record before being disqualified from being licensed? There is no legal limit. It is therefore a policy decision whether to require a totally "clean" record or one without convictions for the prohibited offenses for some period of time prior to the date of application. Po"— 1.1 0 1 Board of Commissioners Page Two. September 13, 1985 Question; Can the ordinance be written so that it is clear that licenses obtained under it are not transferable? Yes. It is already implicit in the draft ordinance that transferability is not permitted. Making this point explicit is easily accomplished. Question: Is it necessary for license applicants to present fingerprints as part of the application process? We have determined that a positive identification of a person with a criminal record can only be determined through the State police information network by the use of fingerprints. Furthermore, the regulations and policies of the State of North Carolina governing the use of the State police information network for the purpose of local licensing requirements require confirmation of a criminal conviction record by the use of fingerprints. In other words, Orange County could not use the State system for determining criminal convictions without fingerprints of those being checked if it intends to use the existence of a criminal conviction as a basis for denying a license. The Board therefore must require fingerprints if it wants to condition licensing on the applicant having no convictions of the crimes listed in the draft ordinance. Alternatively, this requirement for licensing can be removed in which case fingerprints would be unnecessary. The change to the ordinance detailed in the Manager's recommendation as new Section 1-4 (D) accomplishes, in the least intrusive manner we could devise, the positive identification needs of the licensing requirements.

Further, to consider the addition of law enforcement personnel based on the increased workload. NEED: While it was thought at budget time that the overtime accumulation occurring in FY 84-85 was of a short range nature, it is now recognized that the increased work load and requirements are on a continuing basis. The Chairman has consulted with both the Sheriff and Manager regarding the significant work demands facing his operation. The increased crime rate has necessitated around the clock investigations, coupled with regular scheduled patrol functions. Unlike prior times, the nature of the criminal activity has required extensive follow up investigations and field activity. This has drastically affected scheduling, which has resulted in excessive mandatory overtime hours for both the investigative and patrol divisions. The County is faced with a need to reassess our current staffing level. The choices are limited to two: (1) regular payment of overtime at one and one half times the hourly rate of pay or (2) fund additional positions, such that our staff to workload ratio is in better balance. While not as easily quantified as the number of overtime hours required, but even more significant, is the physical well being of our employees under excessive work demands. Since July 1st we have averaged over 330 overtime hours per month. IMPACT: In an effort to assess both choices, provided below are the cost figures.

RECOMMENDATION: As the Board decides . r• REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS ON JOINT PLANNING 020 Prepared by Mice Gordon and Mice Ingram September 10,1985 I. Summary of the Joint Planning Task Directive to Planning Board chairs. In a July 23 work session on Joint Planning involving the two governing bodies(Chapel Hill Town Council and Orange County Board of Commissioners)and the two planning boards, the Chairs of the Orange County Planning Board and the Chapel Hill Planning Board were:directed by the two governing bodies to coordinate joint planning activities. As a first step,they were to facilitate the preparation of the Land Use Plan for the Joint Planning Area. Description of the Joint Planning Agreement The Joint Planning Area is the area outside the extraterritorial planning jurisdictions of the Towns.but within the Joint Planning Area boundary as shown on the Orange County map entitled"Land Use Plan." According to the Joint Planning Agreement(1)the Orange County land use plan.zoning ordinance,and subdivision ordinance shall remain in effect in the entire joint planning area until amended as described in the agreement(2)Orange County and Chapel Hill shall develop a land use plan and zoning map to be applicable in the ten and twenty year transition zones shown on the county Land Use Plan map t 3)Upon completion of the land use plan and zoning map,Orange County shall adopt, on the Chapel Hill Side of the joint planing area located witin the ten and twenty year transition zones,that portion of the land use plan,zoning map and the development standards of the Chapel development ordinance which shall be applicable to the Chapel Hill Side (4)There will be a courtesy review process in the rural buffer zones of the joint planning area and in the extraterritorial zoning jurisdiction of the Town. Other portions of the agreement address such things as the administration of the agreement,including the handling of development proposals in the ten and twenty year transition zones,and the procedure for amending the agreement. II. Description of the Joint Planning Procedure Outline of the joint planning process for the Land Use Plan. The first task is to develop a Land Use Plan for the Joint Planning Area(JPA)using the December 10 deadline given by the governing bodies as a target date for the public hearing on the plan. The two chairs met on August 6,as described in the attached summary,and agreed on an outline for the joint planning process. (See pages two and three of the orange booklet, giving JPA Background Data,for the complete outline). The outline included the following major elements: I.Plan Development(Background Data) A.Natural Environment("God given") B.Infrastructure and Public Services("people given") C. Goals and Objectives('what people want") D. Sociological Characteristics(existing and projected characteristics) II.Plan Formulation A. Land Use Plan Categories and Location Standards B. Draft Land Use Plan Description of work completed. The work completed to date is contained in (1)the orange booklet, "Joint Planning Area Background Data,"August 30,1984 (2)the set of pages entitled"Joint Planning Area Background Area-Additions," September 5,1985 and(3)a series of Joint Planning Wall Maps which are listed in the Appendix given in the"Additions." Most of the background data needed for the plan development phase are included,with sections IA,IB,and ID being the most complete. Section IC(goals and objectives)still needs work. EMI • Joint Planning Page 2 021 Joint Planning Board Committee. To aid in the joint planning process,the Chairs each designated members from their respective Boards to serve on the Joint Planning Board Committee. In addition to the Chairs,the members of this committee are Dave Brower,Don Francisco,Betty Margison.Tom McCurdy.Sharlene Pilkey,Carl Walters. Summary of joint planning meetings and events since tuly 23. The schedule of meetings and events related to joint planning is as follows. August 6- Meeting of the Planning Board Chairs August S- Meeting of the County Planning Board Steering Committee and Staff August 13-Chapel Hill Planning Board Meeting (County Board invited) August 30- Background Data delivered by Orange County Planning Staff September 3-Meeting of Planning Board Chairs and Staff September S-Meeting of Joint Planning Board Committee III.Comments and Recommendations A. General approach to the land use plan The Joint Planning Board Committee made the following comments and recommendations- 1. Why are we starting from the beginning to develop a Land Use Plan? The Orange County Land Use Plan is already in place.and could be used as a starting point. 2. Why is the "Baltimore approach" being used? We should get a consensus from the governing boards that they approve the use of this approach before more work is done. B. Goals and obiectives/operating principles. The goals and objectives are a critical element in the development of the Land Use Plan and are are needed before the plan can be drafted. The Joint Planning Board Committee made the following comments and recommendations. 1. Before we can progress,the Chapel Hill Town Council should adopt a set of Goals and Objectives for Chapel Hill. That would clarify the Town's policies. (Would it be possible to adopt a set of policies by September 24?) 2. Next we should adopt a set of guidelines which would cover only the important policy statements which are necessary for guiding the formulation of the Land Use Plan. There should not be a conflict between the goals and objectives for Orange County and for Chapel Hill.but there would be no attempt to merge the sets of goals and objectives. Such a procedure would be time consuming and is unnecessary. Instead,we should use a smaller list of'operating principles"to guide plan development. A possible first draft of these principles is stated in the paper entitled "Joint Planning Operating Principles" which can be found in the "Additions." 3. Then the Joint Planning Board Committee should develop and recommend a set of operating principles which would be subject to review and approval by the planning boards and governing bodies. C. Administrative procedures and communication. Before the Chairs can continue their work on joint planning.there needs to be a set of procedures for communication among the boards and with the staff that will be streamlined and efficient.and also a clear understanding about the priorities for completing work. The Chairs recommend that the Chapel Hill and Orange County staffs develop such procedures,subject to approval by the Chairs and Boards. 02gint Planning Page 3 IV_ Information Needed from the Governing Bodies and Planning Boards The Chairs are requesting that the members of the governing bodies and the planning boards read the Joint Planning Area Background Data,including the "Additions"and make written comments on the following points: A. Is there any information missing from the Background Data which you think is essential to the plan development'? B. Are there points in the Background Data with which you disagree.or which you wish to reinforce? C. Do you agree with the general approach used in the plan development? If not,what would you suggest instead? D. Do you agree with the approach being taken to develop operating principles to guide plan development? If not,what would you suggest instead'? Please send your written comments by September 24 either to Alice Gordon,Edgewood Drive,Chapel Hill,or Alice Ingram, 1012 Highland Woods.Chapel Hill (zip code:27514). V. Schedule for Completion of the Joint Planning Area Land Use Plan The rest of the schedule depends upon timely completion of the information requested in Section IV above, compilation of all background data required.an adoption of Goals and Objectives by the Town Council,a workable set of administrative and communication procedures developed by the staff,and the development of a set of goals and objectives/operating principles to guide the formulation of the Land Use Plan. Decisions still need to be made concerning the scheduling and content of public meetings. Of course,the steps listed under Plan Formulation must be completed. The staff could start right away to develop the categories and locational criteria,as listed under IIA. The Chairs,Joint Planning Board Committee,and staffs can proceed on the rest of the plan formulation when the above material is complete. The joint planning process is both delicate and difficult.and we need your constructive comments and your help. VI Development Standards in the Transition Areas Both Chairs agreed that development standards should be formulated for the transition areas which are uni9ue for those areas,and not necessarily the same as those for the rest of Orange County or those for Chapel Hill. A good example can be found in the specification of road standards. There could be a standard for roads in small subdivisions which is somewhere between a 27-foot paved road with curb and gutter and 18-foot dirt road. Public water and sewer,and paved roads with curb and gutter are characteristic of urban areas,while wells and septic tanks,and roads with no curb and gutter are characteristic of rural areas. What is the best way of making the transition,so that the area will be in good shape for annexation without imposing unreasonable burdens on those who wish to develop before public services are available? The Joint Planning Board Committee could start to work on these standards,subject to review and approval by the planning boards and governing bodies, but the Land Use Plan should be adopted before the standards are adopted.as specified in the Joint Planning Agreement.

ESTABLISHMENTS S (A copy of the proposed Ordinance is in the permanent agenda file in the Clerk's office) . County Manager Kenneth R. Theron presented for further consideration the Ordinance for the Control of Massage and Massage Etabla,shnent-s and outlined the revisions made since its presentation on August 20, 1985. They are as follows: 1. Amend Section 1-4, (B), (1) to add the disclosure of any aliases, address changes over the prior 10 years (both owned businesses and residences) , sex, social security number (optional), and past military number; 2. Substitute a new Sec. 1-4, (C) to wit: The applicant shall submit as part of the application two recent photographs of the applicant's head and shoulders, of a size and quality prescribed by the County Manager; 3. Delete Section 1-4 (C), 1 and substitute a new Section 1-4 (D) which reads: if after completing the preliminary investigation of the applicant using the information obtained from the applicant required above, the Sheriff shall dean it necessary to positively identify the applicant in order to confirm a fact necessary for the applicant to be licensed, the Sheriff shall present the information upon which he has made this determination to one of the Judges of the District Court in the 15B Judicial District, If the Judge shall determine, from the information presented by the Sheriff, that there is probable cause to believe that a fact revealed in the Sheriff's investigation would disqualify an applicant from receiving a license under this ordinance, the Judge shall order and authorize the Sheriff to confirm that fact by the use of fingerprints. When such an order is issued, it shall be the added responsibility of the applicant to submit his or her fingerprints, taken by the Orange County Sheriff's Department, as part of the application required in subsection (B) of this section. 4. Add an additional "Section 1-12. Transfer of License Prohibited"; 5. Add similar revisions as outlined in 1 through 4 above to licensing requirements under Section 1-3. Licensing of massage business operators. Sheriff Lindy Pendergrass endorsed the changes as written above. He explained that applicant cards are not criminal history cards which stay in the computer forever. Applicant cards are used for identification and stay in the local office for just that purpose. A background check cannot be made without the Social Security number. He endorsed the new Section A-4 (D) in requiring the determination for further investigation to be approved by a district court judge, Commissioner Carey questioned why the concern on prohibiting persons with previous records from obtaining a license was not addressed, Attorney Geoffrey Gledhill explained that it is the State's practice that misdemeanors stay on a persons record for a period of five (5) years where other more serious crimes stay on a persons record for a longer period of time. The Sheriff cannot access the national system for record checks for local licensing requirements. Allen Stutts spoke in support of the recommended changes and recommended approval of the Ordinance. Rick Rosen spoke in support of the recommended changes and endorsed action by the Board. riziamagr 3 Teresa Leonarz spoke in opposition. She feels there is a more acceptable way to deal with those breaking the law. She read and presented a petition signed by 80 people opposing the adoption of the ordinance. Commissioner Carey thanked the staff, the sheriff and those people in the audience for working together in finalizing the Ordinance. Motion was made by Cbanissioner Carey, seconded by Cbmoissioner Marshall to approve the Massage Ordinance to include the revisions listed by the County Manager and the five year period for convictions to be effective November 4, 1985. VOTE: UNANIMOUS. 2=---SERILEEMMEMMEING Chair Willhoit stated that with the events of recent months, the Sheriff's office has had an increase in demands which has necessitated a lot of overtime hours. Additional staff added at this time would help alleviate the workload ratio and reduce the number of overtime hours of the present workforce. Sheriff Pendergrass indicated that with the increase in homicides in the County, 2299 hours overtime have been worked since July 1, 1985. He presented a printout to the Board outlining the types of crimes that have taken place in the County and the number of man hours required. The three new positions would help decrease the number of overtime hours and give some flexibility for repaying compensatory time. Motion was made by Commissioner Marshall, seconded by Commissioner Carey to authorize the recruitment of three (3) law enforcement personnel and the necessary equipment. The Manager was requested to bring back to the Board a budget amendment for personnel and capital. W. A. Scott, Resident of Homestead Road, C.T. Kaytor, representative of Orange County Crimestoppers, Mary Bacon and Carl Walters spoke in support of the Sheriff and asked that the Board approve the addition of three (3) law enforcement personnel and the necessary equipment. VOTE: UNANIMOUS. 2•---12111MER Ken Thompson explained that the amendment is to budget for an additional appropriation which will complete the County's portion of the agreement with Farmer's Home Administration for the Efland Sewer Project. The Amendmend does not require additional funding by the County. It transfers an appropriation from the County Capital Projects Fund to the Efland Sewer Project Fund. Motion was made by Cbonissioner Marshall, seconded by Cbmmissioner Carey to transfer a $20,000 appropriation from the County Capital Projects Fund to the Efland Sewer Project Fund. VOTE: UNANIMOUS. 11,_ 22111EIUMMARFILETALmagumon (A, complete copy of the report and recommendations on Joint Planning prepared by Alice Gordon and Alice Ingram is in the permanent agenda file in the Clerk's office) The Board reviewed the questions on page 3 of the report and had no comments. Chair Willboit questioned the term "infill" and noted that the concept of infill discussed by the Joint Planning Committee several years ago, involved the utilization of vacant land adjacent to existing development and that the idea of using it for high density development was not a prevalent theme at that time. Infill development should be at the same density as the existing surrounding development and characteristic of the area in which the infill is taking place. Referring to "operating principles" related to University Lake Watershed, Chair Willhoit indicated that the current Land Use Plan and Zoning Ordinance addresses the issue effectively at this time. He suggested using the phrase "transition areas" instead of "joint planning area" in reference to water/sewer extensions. Chair Wil]hoit questioned the 4 indicated it will occur and be difficult to controlfin Durham and Chatham counties. C ei issloner Marshall suggested that the County work very closely iith th pel adjoining and Carrboro since they will deal with spillover of growth counties through annexation.
