• Orange County Commission for Women
SUBJECT: Annual Report for Fiscal Year 1984-85
DATE: June 30, 1985
The Orange County Commission for Women submits its annual report for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1985.
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.

ORANGE COUNTY COMMISSION FOR WOMEN
ANNUAL REPORT
• June 30, 1985
I. 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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Licensing of
massage business operators.

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.
Very truly yours,

would add an unnecessary cost to the already expensive service of 1

PURPOSE: To receive from Sheriff Pendergrass an update on the impact of
the continued increase in crimes in Orange County. 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.

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.

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.

Dear Dr. Gordon: .
At it's September 17, 9985 meeting, the Orange County Board of
Commissioners considered the Joint PLanning Area Background Data

the Background Data.

approach infiLL from the standpoint of "concentrated"
development with project proposals
consistent/compatible with neighborhood areas. .
2. _Operating principles related to University
Lake Watershed are presently incorporated in the Land
Use Plan and the Zoning Ordinance. Specifically,
water/sewer extensions and commercial/ industrial
expansion are limited by the provisions of those
documents. .
8. The statement that water/sewer extensions
should not be permitted outside the Joint Planning
Area should be reworded - extensions would not be
permitted outside the "Transition Areas" would seem
•
•
more appropriate.
•
4.' A blanket statement that no "spillover" growth
will occur in Chatham/Durham Counties may be somewhat
difficult to. control. Pressures wi LL alkay. a.. exist for .
such growth. Given that counties . have Litt Le
•
capacity•ta Limit such growth once it crosses county. ,
• jurisdiction Linea,. the Towns may have the advantage.
Specifically, the Towne can annex across county. Lines
•and can extend extraterritorial jurisdictional .Limits
• as. well. White spillover may be discouraged, actual
control is more appropriately a Town function.
•
E. •While not specifically mentioned, it should be
wetted that the "Rural. Buffer" concept was established to .
keep the Chapel Hi LL — Cerrboro area from growing _
together with the Hi ttsborough area. IS that sense, the
buffer is "fixed" and controlLed through water/sewer
' extension policies.
The ,Boerd of Commissioners appreciates the opportunity to comment
on the Background Data and your efforts in compiling acme.

the 15B Judicial District, If the Judge shall determine,
from the information presented by the Sheriff, that there is

receiving a license under this ordinance, the Judge shall
order and authorize the Sheriff to confirm that fact by the

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.

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.

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
