AGENDA ATTACHMENT
The County's Budget as presented to the Board for fiscal year
1980-81 carried funds for a Veterans Service Officer. On June 30th
the position was vacant; however, a part-time secretary was staffing
the office. The Board removed from the final Budget funds for the
Veterans Service Officer position and requested a study be done to
determine whether or not the Office should be continued. This
study was conducted by three graduate students at UNC School of
Public Administration and completed in Mid-March. The study con-
cluded it would not be economically or socially justifiable to close
down this office in Orange County.
Enclosed is a copy of the report for your review.

INTRODUCTION
The Veterans Service (Affairs) Office system in North Carolina and throughout
the United States consist of a three-tier hierarchy. The three levels in North
Carolina consist of one state office located in Winston-Salem, fifteen district
offices strategically located throughout the state, and county offices for those .
counties that wish to maintain one
The Orange County Veterans Office is located in the Sixth District of the
State along with Caswell, Vance, Granville, Durham, Chatham, and Lee counties. The
District office for these counties is located in Durham.
Through the aforementioned three-tiered hierarchy, information is distributed
both up and down through the system. With Winston-Salem as a federal office, all
federal directive, regulations, and information concerning the State Office is
distributed from this office. From this office information is disseminated to the
District offices, who in turn relay the information to each county office in its
respective district. When information is to be sent from the'county office to the
state office, it must pass through the district office. In essence, the district
office serves as an information clearinghouse between the state and county offices;
however, the main objective of the district office is to assist and, advise the
various county offices in the completion of each of the county offices' duties.
In the recent past, the Orange County Veterans Service Office has become in-
operable. The activities of this office have been carried out via the Veterans
Service District Office located in Durham. With a representative of this office,
traveling to Orange County one day per week, the needs of the Orange County veterans
have been addressed. If any assistance is requested of the District Office before
or after this one day per week, it is the obligation of the veteran to travel to
Durham for further assistance.
The purpose of this paper is to present to the Orange County Commissioners
and others that are concerned, facts pertaining to the operations of the Orange
County Office. Hopefully, this assessment will assist in determining if there is
indeed a need fot the continuance of this county office at the present level or at
an expanded level. Some probable action alternatives are also presented in the
hope of meeting the needs of all involved with the rendering and receipt of this
service.

PROGRAM DESCRIFTION
The Veterans Service Officer isresponsible for assisting veterans and their
dependents in obtaining maximum benefits from federally funded programs. Approximately
545 of staff time is spent interviewing clients and personnel in related agencies.
Clients are informed of the availability of benefits and are assisted in making •
valid applications. Consultation and assistance is available for: compensation for
disability or disease contracted in armed forces; disability pensions; GI loans;
educational training; retirement benefits; state and federal scholarships for children
of veterans; death compensation or pension for survivors of veterans and, commitments
to Veterans Administration or State Hospitals.
About 465 of the time is spent typing letters, claims, reports, and filing
miscellaneous documents. The office insures that recertification of elgibility'for
pensions if completed each year.
The state contributes $1,000.00 each year to the budget and provides all of
the required forms. The county provides funds for personnel and office space.
The office continues to increase its claims each year due to the age of war-
time veterans. On January 1, 1979, Congress enacted public law 95-588. The addi-
tion of this law created three different pension programs which are administered
by by three different laws.
OBJECTIVES '
1. To reach and assist over a two year period, at least 10-15% of those elgibre,
veterans and dependents not presently served by the county office.
2. To update the present file of veterans listed in the county office.
3. To develop and maintain a. listing of those resident veterans and depende,nts
not presently served by the county office.
4. To develop a greater public awareness of the Veterans Service Office throu1
the use of public service announcements in the radio, television and, news-
paper media.
STATISTICAL ANALISIS'
As of March 31, 1977, North Carolina's veteran population was 619,000. This
population includes veterans from the Vietnam era, Korean Conflict, World War II, and
World War T. Of these 619,000, Orange County has 'a population of 6,980. The Orange
County Veterans Office saw approximately 1300 of these veterans per year from 1977
to 1979. At 1300 encounters per year, there is an average of 110 encounters per
month. The highest number of encounters for any month was 168.
In contrast, Durham County whose Veteran population is more than twice that
of Orange County at 15,630, saw an average of 4000 veterans per year and averaged
330 per month.
ri

In 1977, the veterans in Orange county brought in more than $4 million in
compenstions. These compensations were in the form of retirement benefits, health
care reimbursements, education and disablity payments (see Chart 3). In reviewing
the data collected on the three periods of war, the following conclusions were
derived:
1. Veterans of the Korean Conflict, World War II, and World War I are at or
closely approaching the age where their health is deteriorating at a faster rate
and more health problems ate emerging.
2. Because they are getting older and are generally less educated, based o n
available deMographic information they will need more assistance in seeking
out available veteran benefits, and completing necessary forms.
3. Because Orange County does not have a full-time Veterans Veterans Officer
and no regular office hours, like its counterparts within the region, it
is perhaps not reaping the maximum benefits from resident veterans in the
form of expendable income from elgible but unfiled claims.
PROPOSALS
In order for the Veterans Service Office (Orange County) to become fullg
operable, two possible positions are needed. It is possible.that one or both of
these positions may be utilized effectively in the absence of the other. Those
two positions are the Veteran Officer and a Clerk/Typist III. The salary range
for these two positions are as follows; Veterans Service Officer, $11,940 - $17,028
and Clerk/Typist III, $88Z0-$12,468.
Following are some feasible alternatives based on information available.
1. Full-time Officer and Full-time Clerk ($20,760)
Durham County has one full-time officer and one full-time clerk. These
positions are responsible for services to a veteran population of 15,630
(1977) and average requests for service of 340-375 encounters per month.
2 Orange County's Veteran population is 6,980 (1977) with average requests
being 154 per month. Based on this comparison, a full-time officer and
full-time clerk appear to be unwarranted.
2. Full-time Clerk Ot2 468)
Based on the veteran population of the county, number of requests for service,
the income of veterans benefits in 1977 ($4.4 million) into the county,
the services of a full-time clerk could be justified. The administrative
and supervisory functions could be handled by the district office.
3. Full-tine Officer and Part-time Clerk ($16 350)
Based on the aforementioned figures, the services of a full-time officer
with a part-time clerk could be justified. It is also a possibility that
_ . the services of the p/t clerk could be secured from the existing secretarial
pool in the county office.
77
■f)('''' -

4. Part-tine Clerk ($4,410 - $6234)
Based an the past and expected workload of the Veterans office, we deem
it justifiable to hire a part-time clerk to carry out most of the duties
of this Office. This person could newly hired or be a member of the
present staff. (At this time, according to the Orange County Personnel
Office there is no extra staff that could devote part-time to the Veterans
Office). This p/t clerk would assist the District Officer from Durham
:•,wholit:,,Presently managing the affairs of the office.
5.. Alternate Agency
Due to the similarities in the veteran population with clients of other
county agencies, we feel it is also possible that the Veterans' affairs
could be channeled into or couPled.with a similar agency in the county.
One possible agency would be the Council on Aging. This, however, is only
one of the possible agencies that might be compatible.
RECOWENDA.T.IONS
The services of a full-time clerk and a full- or part-time officer are warra,
in Orange County based on the statistical comparison of the volume of officer-cliE
encounters- The most economical and yet functional office could be staffed with
a part-time officer and a part-time clerk. This p/t clerk would provide assistanc.:
to potential claimants and other interested parties with veteran benefit informatic„:::
Due to the high level of veteran benefits coming into the county and the unt :
benefits of non-claimant (yet possibly elgible) veterans, it would not be econom!. ..;ly
or socially justifiable for the county to completely shut down operations in Ora
county. For this reason we recommend that this office reman open and be staffed
at least with a pit officer and a pit clerk. The salary range would be around $10,-3-,i0
for the tWo positions and would probably be most beneficial to the county.

Memo To: Board of County Commissioners
From: Planning Staff
Date: April 23, 1981
Re: Amendments to the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance
On March 18, 1981 we received a letter from the Federal Emergency Management
Agency saying they had completed their review of the flood ordinance adopted
by the County on March 2, 1981. They found the ordinance satisfactory with
one exception. They requested that within 60 days, the County submit to
them a revision to Section 4.2 of the ordinance deleting subsection 4.2(e).
This change will remove from the, list of uses permitted by right in flood
ways streets, bridges and certain other similar uses. Location of these
uses in floodways henceforth would require the issuance of a variance by the
Board of Adjustment. This change will bring the ordinance into compliance
with State legislation and Federal regulations pertaining to floodways.
Planning staff recommends this amendment.
The Planning Board at its February 10, 1981 meeting considered the following
two questions regarding regulation of flood hazard areas;
(a) appropriate regulations for flood hazard areas.
(b) areas to which regulations should apply.
Flood maps provided to the County under the National Flood Insurance Program
delineate two regions for regulation within areas subject to flooding.
Floodways are the stream channel and adjoining lands necessary to discharge
the 100-year flood waters. Federal program requirements allow very limited
use of the floodway. This area must be kept free of structures and other
uses which would restrict the discharge of flood waters. The floodway
fringe is land not in the floodway but still subject to flooding.
Federal program requirements allow structures in the floodway fringe if they
are elevated above the 100-year flood level or flood-proofed.
The Planning Board has recommended that the more stringent regulations for
floodways apply to the floodway fringe as well.
72 '
)f}',))
The Flood Insurance Study of Orange County was not a compete survey of all
flood-prone streams in the County. The study included only the larger streams-
generally those with drainage areas larger than one square mile. Streams
in smaller drainage areas are subject to flooding but were not studied. Avail-
able money and man-power was used to study the major streams which have
the greatest potential for larger and potentially more damaging floods.
The Planning Board has recommended application of Flooding regulations
to streams not included in the Federal Flood Study.
The County subdivision ordinance does have language providing for storm
water management. The Planning Department has for sometime required
delineation of flood-prone areas on newly created lots as a "drainage
easement. It has done so under the authority given in section V-5 of
the subdivision regulations. The extent of flooding is determined by
field evidence and from the County soil survey. No structures are permitted
in these flood-prone areas.
The Board should speak to three policy questions related to flood hazard
areas:
(1) Does the Board wish to treat the floodway fringe like the
floodway for regulatory purposes?
(2) Does the Board wish to extend coverage of the Flood Ordinance
to all perennial streams in the County?
(3) Does the Board wish to continue to regulate flooding in newly
created subdivisions on streams that were not part of the Flood

Hillsborough, North Carolina 27278
Dear Mr. Gattis:
On Monday, April 13, 1981, the Hillsborough Town Board met in
official session and voted unanimously to request the Orange County
Inspections Department to perform plumbing inspections within the
Town of Hillsborough and the Town's extraterritoral jurisdiction.
Since a minimal number of inspections will be required, the
_Board did not feel hiring an inspector would be justified. Also, the
cost for these inspections can be included in the fee charged for the
plumbing permit.
Your consideration of this request will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
410
Agatha Johnrn, Town Clerk

STEVEN A.BERNHOLZ Dear Anne:
DONALD R.DICKERSON,
ROGER B.BERNHOLZ
GEOFFREY E.GLEDHR,L Enclosed is a legislative package known DOUGLAS HARGRAVE
MARTIN J.BERNHOLZ as "A Bill To Be Entitled An Act To Make Sundry
P LTRICASW BF RDHUNT Amendments Relating To Local Governments In Orange
accwsBl County" that you asked me to review. I have no
BONNERD.SAtWER comment on the bulk of this legislative package
-except to say that most of it does not directly
impact Orange County government. In Article II,
Section 6, the town of Chapel Hill has requested
authorization to require by ordinance the
inclusion of sprinklers in all buildings in excess
of fifty feet in height constructed within the
corporate limits of the town of Chapel Hill, The
need for such authority in Orange County may be
addressed by planning . We all know the
consequences of major fires in tall structures
without sprinkler systems.
Article V of this omnibus bill relates
to Orange County and as presented by
Representative Hunt contains only one substantive
provision. The provision, Section 16, is an act
which would permit the County by ordinance to
require most multifamily dwelling unit owners to
furnish to the tax supervisor the name and address
of every person occupying the dwelling units on
January 1 of each year . I don' t know whether
Orange County would ever adopt such an ordinance.
This information can be obtained by the tax
supervisor through the tax listing documents and
if necessary by the use of subpoena power .
However, the law itself is benign in that it
requires a County ordinance before it is
implemented.
I have also encio,,e(1 with this letter
proposed additions to Senate Bill 229. New
Section 17 authorizes the Board to require the
reservation of residential housing units for low
and moderate income families in developments in
the County and speaks to the concern of the Board
in this regard. New Section 18 clarifies the
County' s authority to implement Section 7 of the
proposed Zoning Ordinance dealing with planned

RE: Public Hearing request
DATE: April 24, 1981
I have suggested May 19, 1981` as a date for the Public Hearing on
the Preliminary Assessment Roll for the New Hope Drive and Little
River Drive. You will recall, the Board approved the Preliminary
Assessment Rolls for these roads on February 19, 1981; due to a^`
staff error, the wrong forms were mailed to the affected persons.
I know the Orange County Schools are scheduled to meet with the
Board of Commissioners on May 19; however, I do not anticipate any
conflict with this date. May 19 was suggested after study of the
calendar, schedules, newspaper deadlines for legal advertisement,
and consideration of time needed to process the necessary paper-
work. Part of this paperwork has already been completed.

Advisory Council

Anne Barnes, Chair
RE: Council Membership
At the last meeting of the Orange County Health and Medical Care
Advisory Council the issue of membership was undertaken with the follow-
ing results.
A. The Council respectfully recommends that Mr' Ralph McCallister
and Mrs. June Allcot be reappointed to served terms on the Council.
B. The Council respectfully recommends that the resignation of
Mrs. Karol Schoenbaum (On file with the Clerk) be accepted and an
appropriate replacement be named.
C. The Council regrets tntinform the Commission that due to his
involvement in other civic activities Mr. Paul McAllister has made it
known that he is content to have his term expire without reappointment.
In light of this the Council recommends that an appropriate replace-
ment be named.
Further the Council suggests that a suitable replacement for Mr.
McAllister may be found in the person of Ms. Ruth Burnett, who to the
Council 's knowledge is the Orange County nominee to the Capital Health
systems Agency Board. Her dual membership would facilitate the Council 's
charge to establish close relations with the HSA as well as improve the
accountability of the County representation.
On these issues the Council awaits the Commissions direction.
Sincerely,

Mr. John Syria, Director
Division of Social Services
Department of Human Resources
325 N. Salisbury Street
Raleigh, North Carolina 27611
_
Dear Mr. Syria,-
Enclosed is a tentative 1981-82 request budget from the Orange County Social
Services Board and Department. It reflects ffl o expansion of staff or services,
but a sizable increase in dollars. Although this budget was approved by the Social
Services Board, it has not been endorsed by the Board of Commissioners. Instead,
the Board of Commissioners submits it to you, as required, with this statement
of its dilemma in planning, budgeting, and funding for social services for the
coming fiscal year.
The uncertainties surrounding Federal and State funding of Social Services
make it impossible to measure at this time the full impact at the County level .
We are sensitive to the effort-to curb spending and inflation. However, we do
question the economics of imposing cutbacks 'in certain services without regard , ,-
for the-impact on certain other services. For example, cutbacks in In-Home
care will likely result in increased institutional care, a far more costly sit-
uation; cutbacks in day care funds could cause a rise in unemployment among single
parents thus increasing the need for AFDC, Food Stamps, and Protective Services;
additional watchdogging requirements, as in the Food Stamp program for example,
will increase administrative costs and could result -in spending more to provide
less.
Particularly distressing is the apparent trend toward shifting responsibility
for mandatory and inflationary expenses from one level of government to the next,
the County being the last in line. Failure to adjust Federal and State mandates,
regulations, requirements, and maintenance-of-effort stipulations merely shifts
the cost of these from the Federal and State income tax, which takes into con-
sideration a person's ability to pay, to the County property tax which does not--
and at a time when property taxing most needs relief. Already some of the hand-
writing is on the wall , as reflected in this enclosed budget:
1) The Medicaid formula change imposed by the N.C. General Assembly will
result in a $29,102 increase in Orange County's Medicaid cost. The
change falsely assumes that County Government controls a patient's .level-
of-care assignment. Not true--these assignments are made by individual
physicians on a medical basis. The formula ha c nnt roefilforl ,
Mr. Syria
Page two
to injury, these County dollars will draw down less State Aid to Admin-
istration dollars than they did last year. If counties are required to
maintain effort, shouldn't the State maintain its effort as well , or re-
move the M.O.E. and minimum service level requirements so that we might
re-shape our program according to County-determined priorities?
4) No inflation increase in Title XX funding will result in an approximate
$35,460 increase in County funds in one year alone just to maintain the
current level of these services. Inflation is a fact--ignoring it at the
Federal and State level doesn't make it go away at the County level where
the services are provided.
The required increase for this County in these four items alone totals $84,987.
Although the County ultimately bears the responsibility for delivering social
services to the people, it is unreasonable and unrealistic to expect Orange County
citizens to pick up with local revenue the reductions and shifts which occur at
Federal and State levels.
I take this opportunity to-interject-a personal word of concern fbr-t415te
Americans to whom the good life is still only a dream, and whose lives will be dir-
ectly affected by these decisions in the most basic ways . America needs a sounder
economy, but we should all take care that we not sacrifice the national conscience
in our zealousness to achieve it.

Impact of Federal Cuts on Social. Service Programs
•
This addendum assumes proposed (March 1981) Federal and State cuts in
funding of SoCial .ServiCe programs will be passed on to counties. The
following is a projection of the impact of these cuts.
A. Title XX program cuts of 18.75%: (Note 18.75% is used as it represents
a 25X reduction for 3/4 of county budget year (Oct. - June) .
I. Day Care Reductions
(a) Day Care (XX) Federal $19,875; State $3,312; County $3,312.
(b) Day Care (100XX) Federal 10,386
(c) Day Care Expansion (XX) Federal $2,162; State' $361 County $361.
The cuts at current day care rates would result in 35 fewer children
receiving day care services each month. Loss of day care may impact
on need for AFDC, Food Stamps and Protective Services for families of
these children.
II. Chore Services Reductions
(a) .Chore (XX) Federal $13,129; County $4,376.
These cuts will reduce the current number receiving chore service by -
14 per month. These cuts will, impact on Medicaid through placements ii
nursing and Intermediate Care and increased rest home placements.
Increased level of Adult Services from our staff will be required.
Note: County reductions shown in chore and day care will not be a
savings unless State Maintenance of effort rule is deleted.
III. Family Planning
(a) Family Planning freedom of choice Federal $460; State $26; Couni
All low income clients have freedom of choice of medical providers,
therefore, funding must be available for those not choosing Health Depi
Balance of funds are for sterilization. The reduction will reduce
by one, the number of sterilizations available.
V. Foster Care - Special. Needs (XX)
(a) Boarding Home Care-Federal $577; County $192.
These funds are to pay foster parents for care and training needed to
provide 24 hour room and board for children with multiple handicapps,
etc. 25% cut will result in loss of 6 months care for one child.
V. Staff and Administration (XX) • .
)
Addendum B - 2 -
to Federal and State funds if State and Federal funds were not frozen.
B. Income Maintenance Program Cuts.
I. Food Stamps - no current estimates on dollar value of cuts is availe
Staff impact is unknown since additional verifications of eligibilit
will be required.
II. Aid to Families with Dependent Children.- no current estimates on
dollar_value of_cuts_is_available at this time. Staff impact unknou
however, applications may increase due to day care cuts and unemploy
ment increases.
LII. Mediai.d - PLEASE.,NOTE...z. This item is the only. line item, in attac1
maintenance budget where Federal and State and County dollar
decreases have been projected. This was done because DHR has
directed the 5% cap on spending is assured. County dollar reducti
under the original projection amounts to savings of $24,000. The
5% cap requires $21,987 additional County dollars over 80-81 budge
Staff impact is unknown.
