SPECIAL MEETING
ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
JUNE 8, 1987
8: 00 a.m.
The Orange County Board of Commissioners met in special session on
Monday, June 8, 1987 at 8: 00 a.m. in the Board of Commissioners Room,
Orange County Courthouse, Hillsborough, North Carolina for the purpose of
awarding the bid for the Efland Cheeks Sewer Project.
BOARD MEMBERS PRESENT: Chair Shirley E. Marshall and Commissioners
Stephen Halkiotis, John Hartwell, and Don Willhoit.
BOARD MEMBER ABSENT: Moses Carey, Jr.
ATTORNEY PRESENT: Geoffrey Gledhill.
STAFF PRESENT: County Manager Kenneth R. Thompson, Assistant County
Managers William T. Laws and Albert Kittrell, Finance Director Gordon
Baker, Clerk to the Board Beverly A. Blythe, Deputy Finance Officer Ken
Chavious and Purchasing Director Pamela Jones.
BID AWARD FOR THE EFLAND-CHEEKS TOWNSHIP SEWER PROJECT (See attached bid
tabulation which is made a part of these minutes)
Ken Thompson reported that the revenues for the Efland Cheeks Sewer
Project had been secured. These revenues will cover the portion of the
line that had to be redesigned for Hillsborough. The total project cost
will be 1.5 million. The total cash available for the project is
1,571,087 leaving a surplus of $56, 072 .
Thompson noted that there is a "rock clause" in the contract where
the bidders had to take full responsibility for any rock encountered in
the Efland area. This was based on the County providing the contractor
with a survey showing where the rock is located and the amount of rock
present. He stated there should be no change orders due to rock.
Thompson reference the bid tabulation and explained the alternates as
listed on that chart.
Alternate 1 is a force main size of 8" which covers just the flow
that would result from the immediate construction.
Alternates 3 and 4 are sized to accommodate the Efland area as it was
originally planned and option 4 would include additional areas.
Commissioner Hartwell asked about the increased capacity in going
from an 8" pipe to an 10" pipe.
Kevin Carter, Engineer for Hazen and Sawyer, explained that to pump
535 gallons per minute through an 8" force main requires 167 foot of head
which is the limit that the type pumping system will take. A 10" force
main would drop the flow rate from 535 down to 89 because portions of the
10" force main would be gravity driven. In power cost there would be a
savings of approximately $26, 000 or $27, 000 over a ten year period. A 12"
line would carry up to 1700 gallons per minute which is what was analyzed
2
as the extended future growth of the Efland area through the year 2004.
Commissioner Willhoit confirmed that the commitment from Hillsborough
was 380,000 gallons per day which can be carried with the 8" sewer line
which was the original design intended for the project.
Chair Marshall asked how many of the original people that the County
is committed to serve are not included in this first phase and Bill Laws
noted that the main project would serve approximately 100 of those people
who the County is committed to serve.
Commissioner Hartwell spoke in support of buying the 10" pipe because
of the difficulty in replacing big pipe and because of the possibility of
future growth in the corridor west of Efland.
Chair Marshall stated that the 8" pipe would give some flexibility
for the County to design and do what needs to be done as the area
develops, whereas if more capacity is put into the Hillsborough water
treatment plant than they have agreed to would present more pressure upon
the County to pick up their infrastructure cost.
Commissioner Willhoit noted that Lake Ben Johnson is not vital to the
long range water needs of the area -- it is just a holding pond with no
capacity. He restated what the engineer said in that the 8" line is
sufficient to provide that service. Its a question of saving $27,000
over a period of ten years at an expenditure of $65, 000.
In answer to a question from Commissioner Halkiotis, Thompson stated
that there are three hosiery plants that have expressed an interest in
connecting onto the sewer line.
Commissioner Halkiotis expressed agreement with the 10" line and
Kevin Carter, Project Engineer recommended the 10" line. This would
provide for the future growth in the Efland area.
Commissioner Hartwell pointed out that Senate Bill 2 would pay half
the cost of the difference between the 8" and 10" line.
Gordon Baker stated that option 3 with the 10" line would cost an
additional $16,000 to $17, 000.
Chair Marshall stated that the Board's design for this system was
specifically at the lowest level to keep the smallest amount of effluent
flowing through the force main with the idea that something would have to
be done along a gravity sewer line in the long run if the cost was to
remain low.
It was pointed out that if everyone along the sewer line were to
connect on that only 55, 000 gallons out of 380, 000 would be used which
leaves plenty of room for growth.
Commissioner Willhoit emphasized that everything should be done to
hold the cost down making it affordable to those who will be using the
system.
Chair Marshall stated that if a lot of development takes place in
this area, the revenues from impact fees will be available to design and
change the system over to a gravity system which is what will be needed to
save any money.

Commissioner Willhoit stated that when the Board was faced with the
dilemma of Efland Estates and the failed treatment plant at the school, a
new package plant in the area was thought to be the solution. Hillsborough
then offered to put a 4-inch force main in to serve the area and the
school. There were some other failed systems and the County decided to do
a survey to see how many others would tie on. The system has been scaled
upward to provide for future growth and if their is concern about the fl-
inch line, maybe there should be less than 380,000 gallons targeted for
the line and a plan put in motion to provide for a gravity system. The
$27,000 that will be saved in power cost is for when the system is
operating at maximum capacity.
Chair Marshall noted that there was a lot of growth put into the
system on an 8-inch pipe. Hillsborough has indicated they would like to
take some of this capacity away from the County rather than add on. It
creates political and monetary situations for the future.
Gledhill stated that Hillsborough's concern was reserving that
capacity without paying any money for it. They did not have a concern with
the County using that capacity but reserving it without charge.
Chair Marshall indicated that Hillsborough is also concerned about
building in other areas and not having the wastewater treatment capacity
to serve the areas that they would like to see developed and they don't
see Hillsborough getting any kind of advantage whatsoever from opening up
this area.
Commissioner Willhoit asked about the difference in the rates between
option 3 and option 1 and Thompson indicated there would be no difference
because the burden on the customer's monthly bill is just the debt service
on the loan. However, if the system was more efficient with less
electricity, that could have an affect.
Thompson stated that the payback on the $136,000 would be by future
customers. The FmHA loan and the grant are set on the eligibility of the
people who live in the service area. By going with option one, the
project cost would be lowered by $56, 000 which is half county money and
half Senate 2 funds.
A motion was made by Commissioner Hartwell, seconded by Commissioner
Halkiotis to award the bid for construction of the Efland-Cheeks Sanitary
Sewer facilities to Lanzo Construction Company, Greensboro, North Carolina
in the amount of $1,258,045 for option 3 and to authorize the Chair to
sign on behalf of the Board and to authorize the Engineer to execute the
Notice of Award and to prepare contract documents for approval by the
County and Farmer's Home Administration.
VOTE: AYES, 3; NOES, 1 (Chair Marshall) .

governing the procedures of the Board.
MANAGER'S PRESENTATION
County Manager Kenneth R. Thompson referred to the handout and made
the following comments:
1. The proposed budget for 1987-88 totals 30.9 Million which. is
13 .2% or 3 . 6 million higher than last years budget.
2 . As a result of the new tax law passed by the 1986 General
Assembly the County has experienced a net tax base erosion of 2 .2 million.
The County lost Non-ad valorem revenues totaling 1, 070, 000.
3 . The recommended expenditure will enable the continuation of the
programs at their current level for the schools and the County.
4 . The per pupil cost would increase $78. 00 - from $778 per pupil to
$851 per pupil.
5. For capital, the Manager is recommended 1. 1 million for County
capital purposes; for Orange Schools 1. 3 million; and for Chapel Hill 1.7
million.
6. The recommended revenue sources include 18.7 million or 60.8%
from the property tax, 19.7% from sales tax, and 14% from intergovern-
mental revenue.
7. The recommended property tax rate is 59 cents per $100 of value
or a 27. 1 increase over 1986-87. This is nine cents over the effective
equalization rate last year.
8. The recommended supplemental district tax is 15.7 cents per $100
of value or . 3 cents over the equalization rate for the Chapel Hill-
Carrboro School District.
9. If all requests were to be funded, it would take a 67.9 cents per
$100 value and a supplemental district tax of 17.8.
Chair Marshall entered into the record a letter from Jane Masks
regarding the critical school bus situation. This letter is in the
permanent agenda file located in the Clerk's office.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPEN FOR CITIZEN COMMENTS
1. JOHN SCHAENMON , representative of the Orange Federation of
2
Teachers, spoke on behalf of the Federation and stated support for both of
the school budgets. Specifically, he voiced support for the increase in
pay for bus drivers, and the increase in teachers' supplement for both
school districts. He read comments from parents in support of the budget.
2 . STEPHEN KEGG , parent and employee of the Orange County System,
asked that the County Manager's budget be revised stating that the people
in Orange County and Chapel Hill would like to invest more money into the
education of the children. He spoke primarily on the issue of teacher pay
and started that in order to attract and hold good teachers in both
systems, the increase in supplement is needed.
3 . BETTY MATTHEWS , Exceptional Child Program Administrator for the
Orange County Schools, stated that the citizens can be proud of the
programs for handicapped children. Students who ten years ago would not
have been in school are in school and are learning to be productive
citizens. She asked that the program be continued and expanded. There is
no assurance that the State Legislature will fund this program in its
entirety. Three professional and two paraprofessional positions which are
dedicated to programs for the handicapped children, "may possibly be
funded" . The County Manager's budget does not speak to the expansion
needs of the schools which we know will receive no State funding. She
stated concern for serving the handicapped children in the community
without appropriate services and staff. There is a need for an additional
resource teacher for Orange High to work with emotionally handicapped
youngsters and to adapt the physical education program for handicapped
children to insure their physical development.
4. CAROL PARR , Physical Therapy Consultant for Orange High School,
spoke in support of the request for a physical education teacher at Orange
High. There are 156 students identified who need adapted physical
education services. At the present time only 19 are receiving some sort of
services. Those students who need individualized programs are not
receiving them. Those students who are developmentally delayed need
programs adapted to their situation. Physical education will also help
with social skills.
5. BECKY BROGDEN , mother of a handicapped child, indicated her
i
child is one of the nineteen receiving services for the handicapped. She
urged the Board to fund the adapted physical education teacher.
6. LINDSEY EFLAND , Chair of the Orange County School Board,
indicated there is a major difference in philosophy among various members
of the Board of Commissioners, Orange County Board of Education and the
Manager's Office. He addressed the topic of capital spending referencing
the report that was done in February and presented to the Board of Commis-
sioners. The report was predicated on time lines. Any deviation from
these time lines will have major consequences to the system's ability to
house students and implement the Basic Education Act as required by the
General Assembly. Land needs to be acquired for a new elementary school.
The recommended budget does not allow money to hire an architect which
will mean a delay of one year. The new elementary school is projected to
be full the day it opens and another elementary school will be needed.
7. KAY SINGER , Member of the Orange County Board of Education,
expressed concern that the County Manager's budget recommendation does not
provide a current expense continuation budget for 1987-88, or for the
program refinements as requested. She spoke in support of the items on
the list of 28 as contained in the budget document. The position of
•
3
Director of Instruction as requested in the budget would be for one years'
funding. As soon as an enrollment of 5200 is reached, the State will fund
this position. The increase in teacher supplement from 3% to 4% will help
to address the teacher shortage.
8. LIZ WALTERS , teacher at Cameron Park School, expressed concern
that an inadequate budget could not meet the school needs of the children
in Orange County. She spoke in support of the budget as presented by the
School Board in its entirety. It does hold current operations to a
reasonable level, and includes some programs of refinement and expansion.
She spoke in support of the salary increase for bus drivers stating that
securing reliable bus drivers is a problem. The increase in the teacher
supplement is needed to attract and keep quality teachers. Teacher Aides
are needed in the fourth and fifth grades. She asked that the
Commissioners take a stand for quality education.
9. BETTY COMPTON , spoke on behalf of the Adolescents in Need
Project. She asked that the Board consider the requested amount of
$37, 000 in lieu of the proposed amount of $30,500. She explained that
from 1980 to 1984 the project received three years of funding from the
National Association for Child Abuse and Neglect in Washington. Following
that period County and State money called the "Children's Trust Fund" made
it possible to continue the services to children in Orange County. She
explained the programs offered through the Adolescents in Need Project.
This is the last year of the matched funds from the Children's Trust Fund.
Orange County has helped develop eight other projects in the State using
the model in Orange County. The ultimate goal is to have in place a
program to address the needs of teens. Two hundred thirty adolescents
have been served with 30 finishing high school while a parent. The
pregnancy rate has dropped from 96 per 1000 to 43 per 1,000 in 1985. She
asked that consideration be given to the full amount requested.
10. KEITH COLEMAN , parent of three children and member of the
Cameron Park PTO, made reference to the Capital Needs Task Force Report
which stated that each school system needed $750, 000 per year for
recurring capital expense money. The County Manager's budget provides
$450, 000 this year. The needs continue to fall further and further
behind. A way needs to be found to address the capital needs. Air
conditioning is needed in the schools.
11. LINDSAY TAPP , stated that the County Manager's budget places a
low priority on public education in Orange County. He asked that the
Board place a high value on public education and the children of Orange
County.
12. MYRA KIRKMAN , stated full support of the school budget as
presented by the School Board. She indicated it important that education
become a high priority. Public education is a responsibility of the local
government. She expressed concern that some locally funded special
education teachers may have to be cut. She supported the need for the
teacher aide positions as requested in the budget and the increase in
salary for the bus drivers. She asked that funding be provided for a new
elementary school and the necessary money to provide safe and adequate
schools.
13 . JULIE LINEHAN , President of the Board of Directors of the Rape
Crisis Center, spoke in support of an increase in the amount of money
requested for 1987-88. The Center has experienced a tremendous growth as
a result of the increased services. From 1984-1986 the client caseload
4
increased by 35%, and the number of persons reached by the community
education programs increased by 145%. With growth comes increased needs
and services which results in increased cost. Since 1984, the allocation
from Orange County has increased by 5%. She asked that consideration be
given to the increased request in the budget.
14. RICK EDENS , Minister of the United Church in Chapel Hill and the
President of the Board of the Inter-Faith Council, spoke about the
community shelter. He referred to some information he distributed to the
Board and stated that the community shelter is now housed in the old jail
facility in Chapel Hill. Because of the inadequacy of the facility, a
task force was appointed and has presented a proposal which encompasses a
partnership between the Inter-Faith Council, the Towns of Chapel Hill and
Carrboro and Orange County. This proposal would take care of and house
the homeless and hungry of the community. He asked that the County
allocate a financial commitment for this project.
15. ALAN CROSS , father of four students in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro
School District, a pediatrician, and co-president of the Estes Hill PTA
spoke in support of the entire budget requested by the Chapel Hill-
Carrboro City School District. He focused on the capital needs stating
that Orange County is growing and buildings need improvement and expansion
conductive to good education. He supports a tax increase.
16. JACE CUTTINO , mother of three and co-president of the PTA
Council in Chapel Hill-Carrboro, expressed concern with the ability of the
Manager's proposed budget to serve the community. The budget for the
school system will not fund the existing programs. She asked for full
financial support for the continuation budget. She spoke about the low
teacher salary and the difficulty in attracting quality teachers. The
salary for school bus drivers needs to be increased in order to keep
reliable drivers. The support staff salaries are not competitive in the
County. She asked that if all else fails, that the district tax be
increased to meet the financial needs of the schools.
17. CHARLES BROOKS , member of the Chapel Hill High School Vocational
Advisory Committee, spoke in support of the vocational program at Chapel
Hill High School. He asked that the budget be continued in this area at
the level it has been funded in the past.
18. MARY SCROGGS spoke on behalf of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro School
District. She stated that if equalization can not be achieved between the
two systems, that the full amount requested by each system be funded. She
talked about the supplemental tax and stated the purpose for levying this
tax back in 1930 was that Chapel Hill wanted more for their students and
were willing to pay for it. Now they want more and they are willing to
pay for it. She spoke that as an elderly, retired widow, she does want to
pay more tax for the purpose of public schools.
19. SUE BAKER , Chair of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro School Board,
stated that the Manager' s budget is $81,279 short in revenue for the
continuation budget and has no provision for an expansion budget. She
explained the planning and evaluation process followed by the Board in
setting and determining goals. She explained that programs are evaluated
in terms of how they meet the current needs of the students. A large
portion of the current request is for an increased hourly rate for the bus
drivers.
20. LISA BERLEY , President of the Board of the Women's Health
5
Counseling Service, stated that the service provided to women address
health issues affecting women including breast cancer, weight control,
teen pregnancy, high blood pressure, etc. They help women of all ages
lead healthier lives and prevent serious illnesses from developing. They
try to address new health problems and stay abreast of the latest
information on ongoing health issues. Volunteers offer free counseling on
a 24-hour basis. In 1987-88, they hope to focus on issues dealing with
AIDES and Respite Care.
21. AVERY HENDERSON , parent, volunteer, and a Board member for the
Education Foundation for Orange County Schools, urged the Board to pass
the full request of the Orange County Schools. The School Board knows the
needs of the children. He urged the Board to equalize the funding and
indicated his willingness to pay increased taxes.
22 . RALPH WARREN , parent and Past President of the Education
Foundation, stated that the growth in the area is going to have an impact
on the schools. The people moving into the area will expect and demand a
quality school system. Other County agencies are preparing for the growth
and the schools cannot do otherwise. He talked about the volunteers and
the free resources they provide. He commended the teachers in the Orange
County School System stating they are very dedicated and highly creative.
23 . JUDY JONES , parent and teacher at Chapel Hill High School, spoke
on behalf of the teachers and parents. She strongly supported the
proposed budget. She stated that everything that is proposed is needed to
maintain and develop the excellence that the Chapel Hill-Carrboro
community wants. She gave particular support to the teacher supplement.
She presented a petition supporting the teacher supplement in the budget.
24. JOHN WESZAK , teacher, stressed that teachers don't waste money
in personal or professional lives. He asked why their proposed budget is
always for less that what was requested and why more money is not
allocated.
25. SHERIA REID , teacher at Chapel Hill High School, stated she
becomes frustrated because of the salaries. She questions how much the
system values her services. The increase in the salary supplement is not
substantial. By approving the budget as passed by the School Board the
teachers would have an indication that their value is being recognized.
26. MARGE HILL , President of the Teacher Aide Association for the
Chapel Hill-Carrboro System, spoke on behalf of all classified employees.
She stated that each classified employee plays a vital role in the smooth
operation of a school system. She stated there are 462 staff positions
designated as classified employees. Forty-eight percent are teacher
assistants, 17% secretaries, 13% custodians, 17% cafeteria workers and 5%
for maintenance. The average salary is $13, 650. The average salary for a
teachers assistant is $8,760. Many of these people work two jobs and are
eligible for food stamps. She stated it is hard to attract and keep good
employees with low pay. She spoke in support of the classified
supplement.
27. JIM LEVY stated his family moved to the area for the sole reason
of quality education. He was surprised that there is not air conditioning
in all the schools, inadequate computers in many classes, teenage bus
drivers, and the teacher salaries which are not competitive. As a parent,
property owner and tax payer, he requested that the Board try to meet the
needs of the children as outlined in the School Board's request.

28. JOE ROBBINS indicated his willingness to pay a tax increase to
fund the complete budgets for both systems. He specifically asked full
funding for salary supplements for teachers and aides, and requested that
the aides work for 10 months. He stated it is now time to recognize the
teachers and aides for their intellectural investments which are necessary
to teach properly.
29. VERLA INSKO , spoke first on behalf of the Orange County Women's
Center and second on behalf of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Schools and the
Orange County System. On behalf of the Women's Center she asked that the
Board support the full request of the Center. She expressed her
willingness to pay extra tax dollars to meet the needs of the schools. She
talked about the Basic Education Plan and the impact on the schools.
30. MARVIN KOENIG , parent and principal of Chapel Hill High School,
spoke on behalf of the City Schools. He asked for full support of the
school supplement for the teachers and the classified employees. He
stated the Board has the obligation to see that the two school systems
move forward in the State and that until that governing entity devotes 60
65% of its budget to the education of their children, they are not
fulfilling their responsibility to the society it serves. He looks
forward to paying taxes to help fulfill these responsibilities.
31. SARA CLAYTOR , outgoing President of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro
Federation of Teachers, stated that every national report for the last
five years have sited an increasing need for support for the public
schools. She spoke about the values received in the classroom that affect
future work relations for the students and the quality of life in a
community. In order to maintain the public schools, dedicated personnel
are needed and in order to get and keep dedicated people they must be paid
a good salary. She urged the Board to grant the proposed Orange County
School System per pupil expenditure which would be for both school systems
and thus improve the quality of both of the school systems.
32 . HOWARD FRIED , Vice-President of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro
Association of Educators, spoke about the constraints that caused the
County not to be able to fund the entire proposed budget. He presented
petitions with approximately 3300 signatures thereon supporting higher
teacher salaries and supporting education.
33 . JACQUES MENACHE , Director of The Arts Center, spoke about the
new building and invited people to come and visit the new facility.
34. CAROL LAYH , Board Member of The Arts Center, noted that she
considers The Arts Center to be one of the County's most valuable
resources which serves all the citizens of Orange County regardless of
their age or background. She listed the programs offered at the Center.
She asked that the Board join those 70 out of 100 counties which are
increasing support for cultural arts and that they recognize the value of
The Arts Center in supplementing the programs offered in the two school
systems.
35. BEVERLY KAWALEC , Board Member of The Arts Center, spoke in
support of the $10, 000 request from the Center. She talked about the
transition of The Arts Center and the new building. She noted that
$630, 000 had been raised of a goal of one million. The allocations from
local entities are important and will be used as matching funds. The
$10,000 requested from the County is one percent of the budget. The
7
returns for the County will be many times that amount.
36. KANI HUROW , representing Virginia Cunningham, President of the
League of Women Voters of Chapel Hill/Carrboro, made a statement
supporting the local effort to fund the total budget for the Chapel Hill-
Carrboro City Schools. The League asked the Board to meet their
responsibility to adequately fund the capital needs of both school systems
in the County, and to support the recommendation from the 1985 School
Capital Needs Task Force to build the school facilities needed. The
League urged the Board of Commissioners to establish a calendar as soon as
possible which could make bonds a reality.
37. BARBARA LAWLER , Principal of Sewell Elementary, spoke about the
computer labs noting that Sewell has 28 computers, several printers and a
large amount of software in the school as does all the elementary schools.
Sewell is in need of two additional classrooms. She urged the
Commissioners to fund the entire budget for the Chapel Hill-Carrboro
Schools.
38. CRAWFORD GOODWIN , Chairman of the Preservation Fund of
Hillsborough, noted that the principal project is the restoration of the
Alexander-Dixon Home which will become a visitors center for Orange
County. He told about the two phases of the restoration. The second
phase includes the renovation of the interior portion of the structure and
is scheduled for completion in time for the bicentennial next year.
Contributions have been received from local businesses as well as from
local governments. He asked that the County consider making a
contribution to this project.
39. TOM METZGUER , employee of the Orange County Schools, concerned
citizen and parent, expressed disappointment in the Manager's budget. A
major task facing the County is to facilitate the desired growth and
education which is the most important aspect of this desired projectory.
He would like to see the County go upward in their commitment toward
education.
40. ELAINE FOSTER spoke about a project for emotionally troubled
preschoolers. As a director of a pre-school for eight years she has seen
children and families in need of consultation services that were
unavailable. Currently as an educational consultant in Wake County, she
is requested funds for a beginning model. She reviewed a case she is
working on to show how a consultation service helps in a given situation.
She urged the Commissioners to fund the project stating that early
intervention will help with problems that may develop later in life.
41. LORNA CHAFE , Director for the Community School for People Under
Six and also a social worker with experience working with emotionally
troubled children, told about a three year old child who was emotionally
troubled. She asked that the Board consider funding the full amount
requested.
42 . SUSAN MCCLANAHAN , spoke on behalf of parents of little children.
She stressed that the consultation service will serve a great many normal
children as well as those who are severely troubled. A normal child who
has just experienced a great lost of a loved one may not know how to
handle his feelings and the parents may not understand the behavior
displayed by the child and able to deal with it in a rational way. There
needs to be a support system to help that parent once again enjoy the
child. The proposed project would provide free services through the
8
child's preschool or daycare teacher and not depend upon the parent making
the contact with the consultant.
43 . CAROLYN SCHROEDER , Child Psychologist, spoke about the problems
which are identified at the Chapel Hill Pediatrics facility. The problems
range in severity depending upon the situation or type of abuse. Emotional
behavior problems cut across all cultural, economic and class boundaries.
As a group, these parents and their children receive fewer services than
any other group of handicapped. Preschoolers with emotional and behavior
problems receive almost no services in the community. At this age,
children and parents are most responsive to intervention. A little work
can go a long ways to alleviate the problems and promoting healthy
development. She emphasized that if the Board funded the entire $69, 000,
they could be assured that in the future it will decrease the need for
funding in the schools and in the private sector.
44. JEAN CHAPMAN spoke in support of the proposal to provide support
for emotionally troubled preschoolers. Children who are emotionally
troubled are being kicked out of daycare centers because of the inability
of daycare providers to deal with the situation.
She urged support of the entire request.
45. DARYL DUNLAP , teacher at Grady Brown School, spoke as an
educator stating opposition to the Manager's proposed budget. In
particular, she opposed the cuts in the current expense program and the
funding of the expansion items. The average teacher spends from $100 to
$300 per year of their own money for work related expenses which are not
reimbursed by the School System. The 1% supplemental would help defray
some of these costs. She spoke about the comments made by the County
Manager in his budget message stating she found them to be insulting and
disturbing.
46. ELLEN SEDMAN , Volunteer in Orange County Schools, spoke about
the value of teacher aides. The aides help those children who need
individual attention. She spoke in support of the teacher supplement.
47. MARTHA WALKER , parent of two children in the Orange County
School System, asked the Commissioners to honor the trust that thousands
of parents have placed in them by committing themselves to quality
education for the children of Orange County. Quality education cannot be
achieved without committing the dollars that it takes to run the school
system effectively. Many of the items that were cut out in the Manager's
budget will lower the quality of the children's education. The increase
in salary for the bus drivers will insure the safety of the students. The
capital outlay expenses address critical needs that maintain safety around
the school facilities. Failing to meet the needs this year will leave a
larger gap next year of what is needed and what is given. She asked that
the Board meet the needs of the educational system.
48. B. J. MARKWOOD , representing the Stanford Jr. High English
Department, supported the need to get and maintain the best qualified
professionals for the school system. She spoke about the "Magical
Thoughts" publication which places emphasis on the process of writing.
This literary publication has improved the writing in the school as well
as promoting individual self esteem of the students. She spoke of the
State and National recognition the publication has received. She noted
that the local Arts Commission has contributed a grant towards the cost of
the program and asked that the County Commissioners also support the
publication.

49. CATHY CARROLL , parent and volunteer at the Grady Brown School,
spoke of the need for increased pay for the bus drivers and the need for
teacher aides in the fourth and fifth grades. The teachers are overburden
with paperwork. As a taxpayer, she supports the need for an increased
budget.
50. MIKE CRANE , parent of a handicapped child at Grady Brown, noted
that his family came to the area because of the services available. He
supported the request for additional teacher aides for the multiple
handicapped children stating there is a need for additional teachers and
teacher aides in the handicapped program. He has fought for six years to
get his son into the program.
51. JEANETTE JONES , parent of two children, President of the Orange
County Parents with Special Needs, and an Orange County "underpaid" bus
driver, spoke about the total budget request and asked that it be the
number one priority of the Commissioners. Without the quality teachers and
staff, there will be no quality education for those presently attending
school or those who will attend in the future. She asked that the school
budget be passed as requested and not to accept the County Manager's
"hatchet" budget as presented.
52 . NORMAN HAITHCOCK , member of the Orange County School Board,
spoke on behalf of all the children in Orange County. He stated that it
must be recognized that we live in a society where there are handicapped
children and children with special needs and a desire to participate in
extracurricular activities. He spoke in favor of the pay-as-you-go plan
and asked that the Board consider a three cent increase in the property
tax to be placed in a school fund with the interest given to the schools
to help pay in advance for the buildings that are needed for the future.
The school budget affects every person in Orange County. He asked that
the budget be approved as presented by the School Board.
53 . PEG PARKER , teacher aide, spoke in favor of the salary
supplement for the Chapel Hill-Carrboro classified employees. She listed
the adult contacts that a student may interact with during the day. She
talked about the poor pay and how difficult it is to feel good about
yourself with the little pay received. It is hard to have respect for
yourself and help others develop the same when the pay just covers the
essentials of living. She indicated that the classified employees have
high standards and asked that the Board do all they can to insure that
these employees stay with the system to give the students the obvious
benefits of continuity in their daily multiple adult contacts.

54. JACK TOMKOVICK , representative of the Grady Brown PTO, spoke
about the growth that is coming and noted that preparation needs to be made
now. Two schools will lose assistant principals under the proposed County
Manager's budget. He talked about the realities of the school system. The
school has several mobile classrooms and inadequate furniture for the
students. He spoke in support of educational excellence but noted that
more needs to be done. The fourth and fifth grade teachers do need aides.
55. DR. E. W. VAN STEE , President of the Animal Protection Society,
stated that the Animal Protection Society has submitted a budget request
for $180, 000 and the County Manager has proposed $109, 000. Three areas
account for this difference: (1) staff conditions, (2) salary increases
and (3) the APS cash contribution to the operating budget of the shelter.
He talked about the need for one fulltime position stating that when the
shelter is fully staffed, they are short one fulltime position. The actual
days worked per week by the Executive Director are seven. The actual days
worked by the Manager is also seven days per week. The remainder of the
paid staff works six days per week. He noted that the shelter is short two
people at the present time. They cannot fill the positions because
qualified people are reluctant to work for such low pay. With respect to
the APS which has contributed tens of thousands of dollars per year to the
operation of the shelter, the County was notified last year that the APS
could no longer do this. They continued through 1986-87 to soften the blow
-- help the County make the transition over into this fiscal year. The APS
has not only spent all of its income on the operation of the shelter but
has had to reach into its capital reserve in order to keep up with a
continuing deficit that has developed because of the constantly growing
demand based on the growth of the County. The APS can not and should not
continue to directly subsidize this County service. The APS wants to
continue to operate the shelter but can do so only on a sound financial
basis. He urged adoption of the budget as proposed by the APS.
56. KAREN PRICE , Director of Education for Planned Parenthood for
Orange County, asked the Commissioners to look at their request for $15, 000
for educational programs to prevent teenage pregnancy and sexual
transmitted diseases here in Orange County. The money will enable Planned
Parenthood to provide telephone information and counseling to over 4, 000
residents of Orange County and provide educational programs for approxi-
mately 2, 000 residents. The money will also be used for a planning
conference in the fall of 1987 to provide training for 12 additional
volunteers for Orange County. She talked about the educational programs
and the prevention of teenage pregnancy. She strongly urged the Board to
support their request.
57. DON INGRAM , Vice-Chair of the Animal Protection Society, stated
that because of the people involved with the Animal Shelter that it is one
of the best in the State. It is the best because of the support received
in the past from Orange County, because of a good physical plant in which
to operate and because of the Animal Protection Society who operates the
shelter with a dedicated staff. He praised the executive director and the
manager of the shelter. He stated that the APS wants to continue to
operate the shelter and that the County could not operate the shelter for
any less or at the quality level it is operated under for any less than
what the budget proposes.
58. PAT SANFORD , Executive Director of the Animal Shelter, spoke
about the vacancies at the shelter. She commended the structured volunteer
program and summarized the services provided by the volunteers. She urged
2
the Commissioners to fund the entire budget for the shelter.
59. HARVEY WENSEL , Transportation Coordinator for the Orange County
School System, spoke in support of the budget request as presented by the
Schools and on behalf of 78 bus drivers and 20 substitute drivers. He
presented in October a 4-point plan which included more training for school
bus drivers, and a salary increase not only for bus drivers but also for
aides and custodians. Every phase of the plan has been met except for
salary. The choice is between a higher wage or a teenage driver.
Originally, the amount of the salary increase was $3.00 an hour which was
reduced by the school board to $2.00. He would appreciate the County
Commissioners recognizing the need for this increase in salary.
60. CAROLYN LONG , a representative of the Association of Teachers for
Orange County, spoke about the 1% increase in the supplement. She asked
that all the items in the budget be funded. Teacher aides are needed in
the fourth and fifth grades and the increase in salary for the bus drivers
is desperately needed. She asked that the Board please consider the
request for funding as presented by the School Board.
61. MAX KENNEDY , member of the Orange County School Board, spoke in
support of the increase in salary for bus drivers and the need for teacher
aides in the fourth and fifth grades. With regard to the teacher
supplement, he noted he pays laborers more money than a beginning teacher
receives. He would appreciate consideration of all the items in the
budget.
62. VIC KNIGHT , spoke in support of the Orange County School budget.
He noted the County is experiencing growth. As new people come into the
County they request information on the schools. They want to be assured
that the County provides quality education.
63. GLENDA HARRIS , Board Member of the Coalition for Battered Women,
talked about and described the advocacy program which served 152 persons in
Orange County. The shelter program provides safe housing for women and
children. During 1986, the shelter offered housing to 23 families. The
community education program places emphasis on the importance of prevention
through education. The last program added to the services is the
counseling program. She asked continued funding for the services provided
by the Coalition.
64. MIKE SHARP , Child Care Networks, asked that the Commissioners
consider funding the requested amount. The additional funding requested
would be used to consolidate all the information about children resources
in the County.
65. BEN LLOYD , spoke in support of the School System. He asked that
the Commissioners do as much as they can to support the Schools. He
expressed concern about accountability and the low fund balance. He
suggested that the schools be funded first and that the remaining items in
the budget be prioritized before funding.
66. EVE SHY , resident of Bingham Township and a volunteer at the
shelter for the homeless, spoke about the shelter. She stated that the
shelter is the pits. There is no privacy and the facility is not the best.
In the new facility, they plan to include a community kitchen and
additional space for each individual. She urged the Commissioners to fund
as much of the request as possible.
