BACKGROUND: Four public hearings concerning the Master Recreation and Parks Plan were held from November 1987 to May 1988. The Advisory Council listened carefully to citizen input regarding the Plan and offers the attached as their recommendation concerning the Plan' s adopt ion. In summary, the Council recommends that : ( 1 ) the Plan be adopted as presented at the last public hearing on May 4, 1988 (with the greenways element deleted) as a planning tool for the Recreation and Parks Department , (2) Chapters 1-6 of the Plan which contain the basic planning elements be adopted as the Recreation, and Parks Element of the Orange County Comprehensive Plan, (3) Chapter 7 of the Plan ( "Plan Implementation" ) be utilized in formulating funding requests for five-year capital improvement planning periods, beginning FY 88/8Y. Revisions to the funding request for the first five-year period are recommended and are attached, also. Implementation of the Plan beyond the first five-year planning period is to be based on annual review of the Plan' s recornmendat i ons and re-examination of population demand and changing demographics. %r 007 RECREATION AND PARKS ADVISORY COUNCIL MAY 41 1988 Recommendation to Board of County Commissioners Subject : Master Recreation and Parks Plan and 5-Year CIP The Orange County Recreation and Parks Master Plan is a document which can "stand alone" as a planning tool for the Recreation and Parks Department. The Plan is composed of two components: * planning principles (Chapters 1-6) * financial/funding data (Chapter 7) The planning principles are appropriate for inclusion in the Orange County Comprehensive Plan, as the Recreation and Parks Element. The financial data is appropriate for utilization in Orange County' s 5-year capital improvement planning efforts, to be reviewed annually. The financial data has been recently reviewed in light of much public discussion in recent months concerning the broad scope of the Plan. If funding support of the Plan, is to be realized, it is important that monies requested are clearly identified with specific projects. To provide this focus, it is recommended that the CIP Request be broken down into funding for (a) pools, (b) park development (for three existing publically-owned sites) , and (c) park lands fund. Specifically: POOLS Two ( ) pools---one to be located in the $3, 260, 000 Chapel Hill area and one in the Hillsborough area. PARK DEVELOPMENT Development of existing publically-owned $738, 000 sites. E f land-Cheeks Community Park $113, 000 Fairview Community Park $436, 000 Cane Creek District Park $189, 000 PARK LANDS FUND Acreage for park development as future $600, 000 population demand warrants. Use of these monies would include securing options on properties. 5-YEAR CIP REQUEST: Pools $3, 260, 000 Park Development 738, 000 Contingency 399, 800 Park Lands Fund 600. 000 4, 997,800 TOTAL 008 This recommendation results in a re-prioritization of the project elements in the first five-year planning period and focuses efforts can development of three projects on existing pub l ical ly•-awned facilities. This recommendation results in a S1, 505, 000 difference (compared with the original Plan request ) in needed funding for the first five-year planning period. This significant cost difference is caused by the exclusion of all but $600, 000 in park land funds in the first five-year planning period. • 0 0 9 FUNDING REUUE51 - MASit H RELHEAIIUN ANU F'NHKS FLAN • IMPROVEMENT COST 1988/89 1'389/30 1930/31 1991/98 i9.3`/93 EF LRND-CHLEK LUMMUNIPV PARK Shelter/Rest room :0,000.00 Picnic Area 5,000.00 30,000.00 20,000.00 Pedestrian Walkways a 000,00 5,000.00 5,000.00 Multi-use Field 15,000.00 PI ay Area 15,000.00 15,000.0a 5,000.00 10,000.00 Multi-usa Courts 15,0 00.00 5,WO Design Fee; 8,000.00 8,000.00 10,000.a@ SUBIUTAL 113,000.00 28,000.00 40,000.00 45,000.a@ FAIRVIEW COMMUNITY PARK Shelter / Rest room 75,000.00 75,000.00 Multi-Use t-ield 36,000.00 36,000.00 Softball Field 110,000.00 110,000,00 Pedestrian Walkways 15,000.00 15,000.ea Access Road/Parking 800,000.00 100,000.00 100,000.00 SUBTOTAL 436,000.00 126,000.00 110,000.00 100,000.00 100,0000.00 CANE CREEK DISTRICT C•ARK Rest rooms 40000.00 • Docks L 0,00 @.00, 20,000.00 20,000.00 Docks Shelters 60,000.00 8• B,000.0@ Picnic Areas 15,000.0@ 30,000.00 30,000.00 Play Areas 30 Oft.00 7.500• 7,500.00 Trails 10,000.00 15,000.00 Design Fees 18,000.00 5,000.00 • 18,000.00 SUBTOTAL 189,000.00 18 00000 . . 85,500.00 49,000.00 37,500.00 SWIMMING POOLS Two 50-meter pools 2,000,000.00 Bathhouse/offices 560,000.00 1.000,000.00 1,000,1x00.00 Access & Parking 200,000.00 280, .00 280,000.00 Landscaping 100 000.00 100,000.00 100,000.00 50,000.00 50,000.00 Design/Construction 400,000.00 60,000.0@ 140,000.00 $00,0 @0.00 SUBTOTAL 3,260,000.00 60,000.00 140,000.00 1,630,000.00 1,430,000.00 PARK LAND FUNDS 600,000.00 200 000.00 • 200•000•00 eaa,000.00 CONTIGENCIES 399,000.00 TOTAL 4,997,800.00 } ORANGE COUNTY 010 BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS Action Agee a Item No. LL ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: MAY 17, 1988 SUBJECT: PROPOSED TEEN SYMPOSIUM DEPARTMENT: COUNTY MANAGER PUBLIC HEARING: Yes X No ATTACHMENT(S) : INFORMATION CONTACT: MANAGER'S OFFICE,X501 1) EXCERPT FROM JANUARY 88 RETREAT 2) PLANNING STRUCTURE/HSMT RESPONSIBILITIES 3) YOUTH SERVICES PROVIDERS 4) HSMT MEMBERS TELEPHONE NUMBER: Hillsborough - 732-8181 Chapel Hill - 968-4501 Mebane - 227-2031 Durham - 688-7331 PURPOSE: To receive a report from the Human Services Management Team outlining a possible planning structure for the proposed teen symposium.

BACKGROUND: At the County Commissioners meeting of March 1, 1988, the board instructed the Manager to seek the services of a consultant to assess the suitability of alternative wastewater treatment facilities in Orange County. Attached for your review is a proposal from Hazen and Sawyer describing this scope of work to accomplish this purpose. Hazen and Sawyer has agreed that the cost of work will not exceed $7, 000 and funds will come from the remaining Senate Bill 2 funds. RECOMMENDATION(S) : That the Board authorize the Chair to sign the agreement with Hazen and Sawyer. 020 HAZEN AND SAWYER, p.c. CONSULTING ENGINEERS • May 2, 1988 Mr. John M. Link, Jr. County Manager County of Orange P.O. Box 8181 Hillsborough, NC 27278 Dear Mr. Link: Hazen and Sawyer, P.C. is pleased to offer a proposal to Orange County for Professional Engineering Services relative to alternative wastewater treatment in the County. This letter is intended to outline a suggested scope of service that will address the questions that have been raised by the Commissioners, Planning Board Members and the County staff. Our proposal is based upon the discussions during our meeting and a review of subsequent written information provided to us by Mr. Marvin Collins. We have also discussed the issue with Mr. Everett Billingsley, Executive Director of the Orange Water and Sewer Authority. Alternative wastewater treatment in Orange County can be generally subdivided into three categories; 1) package wastewater treatment plants discharging into a natural water course, 2) land application of treated wastewater, 3) variations of the conventional ground absorption system based on low pressure injection of wastewater into the soil. Each of these systems could have varying degrees of application in Orange County. To assess the appropriateness of each system, we propose to undertake the following tasks: 1. Review and summarize the current status of State regulations dealing with alternative wastewater treatment technology. 2. Review the operating history of sample projects in each category. To limit costs, we suggest limiting this task to consideration of no more than four (4) projects in each category, two with a positive history and two with a negative history. Since soil characteristics can be a significant factor, we will limit our evaluation to projects with soil characteristics similar to those in Orange• County. We will seek input from the County staff in selecting the sample projects to be considered during this effort. 2024 WEST MAIN STREET P.O.BOX 2875 DURHAM,NORTH CAROLINA 27705 • (919)286-5148 RALEIGH,NC - DURHAM,NC - CHARLOTTE.NC • NEWPORT NEWS,VA • HOLLYWOOD,FL NEW YORK(NY -* Mr. John M.

Our objective during this task will be to determine why some projects have been successful while others have been unsuccessful. 3 . We will consult with knowledgable area individuals both in the private and public sector and summarize their comments in our report to the County. This proposal assumes that individuals from the private sector will provide their service without charge to Hazen and Sawyer, P.C. 4. The results of our investigation will be summarized in a letter/report to the County. This report will include the results of our data collection and analysis as well as suggestions as to the possible policy options available to the County Commissioners. We would be prepared to formally present this report to the Commissioners and respond to any questions they might have. We propose to offer these services for a lump sum fee of $7,000. 00 payable upon presentation of our report to the County. If this proposal is acceptable to the County, please sign in the space provided below and return one copy of the Agreement to us. We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to the County.

BACKGROUND: At the meeting of April 4, the Board received a resolution from the Town of Hillsborough recommending a joint county/town venture in developing the Seven Mile Creek Reservoir. At the meeting the Manager recommended that Hazen and Sawyer be retained to analyze and report on the estimated expenditures for reservoir construction as described by the Hillsborough proposal.

Box 8181 Hillsborough, NC 27278 Dear Mr. Link: Hazen and Sawyer, P.C. is pleased to offer this proposal for a follow-up investigation of new issues raised relative to development of an additional water supply in Orange County. Since publication of our report on the water supply last November, it is our understanding that a specific proposal has been formulated for construction of a new dam on Seven-Mile Creek. The dam would be constructed of roller compacted concrete and the design would provide for a future expansion of the facility. The proposal contemplates that the County would acquire the property required for the project and that the Town of Hillsborough would finance construction of the dam improvements. A conceptual plan has also been developed for recovery of the necessary revenue to operate such a system. It is our understanding that the County desires to have Hazen and Sawyer review the specifics of this proposal and comment on the technical and financial merits of the project. To accomplish this objective, we have proposed to undertake the following tasks. 1) We will make a general review of the technical aspects of the proposal as developed by the Town of Hillsborough.

Fikes (under separate cover) TELEPHONE NUMBER- Hillsborough - 732-8181 Chapel Hill - 968-4501 Mebane - 227-2031 Durham - 688-7331 PURPOSE: To review and approve the 1988 CDBG Application for the Rencher Street Area. BACKGROUND: On March 1 , 1988, the Board of Commissioners approved the submission of a CDBG Application for the Rencher Street Area. Public Hearings were held on April 4 and May 2, 1988 to re- ceive citizen comments regarding the application before final preparation. The completed CDBG application proposes the following activities: Acquisition, Housing Rehabilitation, Street Improvements, Clearance and Water/Sewer System Improvements. The total project cost is $684, 281 . 00 . However, the State will only contribute $600, 000 to Community Development projects, therefore, an additional $84, 281 . 00 is needed in order to accomplish all proposed activities. NRCD will give priority to applicants who contribute unrestricted revenues from their general fund to support CDBG projects. Therefore, the Housing and Community Development Department requests that the County contribute $84, 281 . 00 to the Rencher Street Project in order to complete all proposed activities and ful- fill the County's local commitment to the project . The application is due on May 20, 1988. RECOMMENDATION(S) : 1 . Approve the CDBG application and authorize the Chair to sign the document on behalf of the Board. 2. Authorize a financial commitment of $84, 281 . 00 to the CDBG project and authorize the Chair to sign a letter of commitment to NRCD on behalf of the Board. 026 O R A N G E C O U N T Y BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: May 17„ 1988 Action 949 a Item it _.._ SUBJECT: JUNE 30, 1988 PUBLIC HEARINGS - JOINT PLANNING AREA - ORANGE COUNTY DEPARTMENT: Planning PUBLIC HEARING: ..,�._.

J 040 ORANGE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT PROPOSAL FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION ON ANIMAL CONTROL IN ORANGE COUNTY NEED STATEMENT: On January 1 , 1988 , a new Animal Control Ordinance adopted by the County Commissioners went into effect in Orange County. Provisions of the ordinance pertaining to licensure were subsequently adopted by the Commissioners after the effective date. The changes effected by the ordinance have resulted in confusion among residents regarding various provisions of the ordinance (differential license fees for spay/neutered animals, leash laws, etc. ) . Personnel turnovers affecting the operation of the Animal Control Division of Orange County Health Department and problems in obtaining the licensing forms from the printers have aggravated public confusion and dismay with the process of implementing the ordinance. In order to promote public acceptance and compliance of the adopted Animal Control Ordinance, it is herein proposed that , in addition to enforcement efforts, an on-going public education and public relations program be initiated as soon as possible. The areas to be specifically addressed by such a program would include: a. Pet Licensing b. Leash Laws c . Animal Nuisances d. Registration of different types of dogs or animal facilities (kennels, sentry dogs, etc . ) e. Rabies Control (prevention, post-bite care, wildlife rabies, etc . ) f . Services of the Animal Control Division g. Responsible Animal Ownership (anti-cruelty and spay/neutering of pets) h. Wild Animal Ordinance GOALS: 1 . To increase public awareness of the Orange County Animal Control Ordinance and its provisions. 2 . To increase responsible animal ownership among Orange County residents and promote compliance with the Animal Control Ordinance of Orange County.

Identify the Orange County Health Department Animal Control Office as a resource for information about animal control or rabies control/prevention. 041 2 . License and register their dogs and cats in appropriate and timely manner ( as outlined in the Ordinance) with Orange County Health Department . 3 . Comply with the Orange County Animal Control Ordinance regulations . 4 .

Report suspected animal cruelty to the Orange County Health Department . 6 . Identify and utilize Animal Control Services in Orange County appropriately. INTERVENTION STRATEGIES: The approaches proposed for public education and for promoting better public relations in Orange County regarding Animal Control shall include heavy utilization of public service mass media, dissemination of printed informational materials, participation in appropriate public information exhibitions, and provision of educational programs to schools and community groups on request . Emphasis will be given to "timely" dissemination of mass media releases/ads and informational materials to take advantage of "teachable" opportunities, where the learners (public) may be more receptive to the messages contained in the communications. The following specific methods of intervention are proposed for inclusion in the Orange County Health Department 's Animal Control Public Education program: 1 . Periodic , "timely" and seasonal dissemination of press releases pertaining to animal control , responsible animal ownership and rabies vaccination/control to area newspapers and/or agency newsletters (News of Orange County, Durham Morning Herald, News and Observer, The Chapel Hill News, Orange-Alamance Enterprise, The Daily Tar Heel , The Advocate, Agricultural Extension Homemakers Newsletter , Senior Times, Orange Alive, etc . ) . 2. Periodic and seasonal distribution and/or recording of Public Service Announcements to area radio stations. (WCHL, WDNC/WDCG, WQDR, WFXC, WRBX, WPTF, WDUR, WSRC, WUNC, etc. ) . 3 .

BACKGROUND: On November 17, 1987, the Board decided to sever relations with the Central Piedmont Service Delivery Area (Durham, City of Durham and Orange County) and joined the State administered Rural Service Delivery Area (RSDA) . Since February 15, 1988 staff has maintained constant contact with the State Division of Employment and Training (DET) to determine the County's role under the RSDA. Orange County will join Caswell, Randolph, Rockingham and Vance Counties as members of the RSDA. Each County has been assigned three slots on the fifteen member Private Industry Council (PIC) . The County will have an education and two private sector appointees. The PIC will meet four times a year (once a quarter) with the meeting site rotating among the five counties. In addition to the formulation of the Rural Service Delivery Area--PIC, DET has solicited training proposals for the admin- istration of the County's summer youth program which were previously administered by Central Piedmont. DET received pro- posals from Joint Orange Chatham Community Action Agency and Employment Security Commission-Orange County Office. During the week of May 9, 1988 County staff and state officials reviewed both proposals. Based on guidelines developed by the State, both agencies' summer youth training proposals for Orange County were essentially equal. Therefore, DET did not select a training operator, but deferred this decision to the County. Please Note: JTPA is composed of two programs--Summer Youth (Title II B) and Adult Comprehensive (Title II-A Attachment 045 II highlights both programs with asterisks denoting adult programs. DET has informed the County that the Adult Comprehensive Program, which will start July 1, 1988, will be contracted to a training operator as well. The solicitation and selection process will begin after PIC members are appointed. RECOMMENDATION: 1. Manager recommends Joint Orange-Chatham Community Action Agency as operator for the summer youth program. 2 . Appoint three PIC members from the attached list of eligible current PIC members and applicants. ATTACHMENT I o 4 Q APR 1 Y 1.9883 State of North Carolina Department of Natural Resources and Community Development Division of Employment & Training 512 North Salisbury Street • Raleigh, North Carolina 27611 James G. Martin, Governor Joel C. New S. Thomas Rhodes, Secretary Director April 13, 1988 Mr. Albert Kittrell Assistant County Manager Orange County Hillsborough, North Carolina Dear Mr. Kittrell: In response to your March 30 letter, I would like to share the following information: 1. As discussed by you and Ms. Warren, the Division has begun arrangements for the Orange County summer youth program. The attached legal notice was placed in The News and Observer and the Herald Sun Papers and was mailed to previous Orange County program operators. Proposals will be due to the Division on May 2, and the Division will complete operator selection by May 13. The program operator will be responsible for worksite and partici- pant selection and all other aspects of the program operation. To assist the operator in preparation for the summer program, Ms. Warren has obtained a list of 1987 Orange County worksites and participant levels at each site. She has also discussed with the two school systems, coordi- nation of summer youth assessment needs with available school data. 2. The primary role of the Orange County commissioners in all JTPA programs will be to recommend, to the Governor, Private Industry Council members to represent Orange County in RSDA policy decisions. Orange County has been assigned the education slot and two private sector slots on the PIC. The PIC representation is as follows: Caswell private sector, social services, economic development Randolph private sector, community based organization and employment security commission P.O. Box 27687, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687 Telephone 919-733-6383 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 049 Page 2 Rockingham private sector (2) and vocational rehabilitation Orange private sector (2) and education Vance private sector (3) Unassigned labor I am aware that you would have preferred fewer private sector slots on the PIC from Orange County. However, we do not wish to remove current- ly active PIC members on the existing PIC. A copy of the PIC by-laws and "JTPA in a Nutshell" which explains the mission of the PIC are attached. I am pleased that the county is ready to appoint members. If appointed in time, these member will advise on the program mix for Title II-A programs, and assist in program operator selection. 3. The Division would like to release requests for proposals for Title II-A programs as soon as possible. Although these programs do not begin until July 1, the Division normally makes operator selections by the end of May. As soon as PIC members are recommended to the Governor by your county, we can begin working with these three people on design questions and operator selection. We would like to issue the Title II-A requests for proposals the last week in April. 4. Regarding the issue of liability and the county, when Orange County chose to become a member of the Rural SDA, it shifted liability to the state. The state is the grant recipient and administrative entity for the RSDA and as such is liable for all funds received under the RSDA JTPA programs. The state through the Division of Employment and Training, enters into agreements with program operators and holds them liable for all funds received under the agreement. Unless the Orange County govern- ment should choose to enter an agreement with DET to operate programs, the county has no liability. The county's role as a member of the RSDA is to recommend PIC members who will participate in efforts to coordinate JTPA funds with all other fund sources in the county, create a climate that fosters a strategic approach to the employment and training needs for the area, and consider committing county resources to supplement the extremely small Orange County JTPA allocation. In this last regard, I have attached a copy of the explanation of the factors that enter into the allocation of JTPA money in the state. While this speaks in terms of SDA allocations, the Division used the same factors in distributing money to the five RSDA counties. This may be useful to you in explaining to interested parties why the Orange County allocation is so small. 048 Page 3 5. As we discussed in our last meeting, the Division uses State procurement guidelines in contracting for RSDA programs. Requests for proposals will be published in local and area newspapers, and a copy of the notice will be sent to current operators. The Division's section of the state administrative code specifies the criteria for operator selection. (See attached) All procurement documents (i.e. requests for proposals) will be issued by the Division, and proposals will be sub- mitted to the Division for selection. The PIC has a strong role in selection of operators, based on staff review. However, due to the unique nature of liability in the RSDA, with the State accepting liability, the RSDA has a PIC-CEO agreement in effect between the PIC and the Governor which gives the Division final authority in all matters and makes the PIC advisory to the Division in all matters. This document is also enclosed. I hope that this response has helped clarify some areas. Please feel free to contact me if you have additional questions. I also look forward to a good relationship in serving the needs of Orange County's economically disadvantaged citizens. Sincerely, .1C, Voel C.

BOX 27687, RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA 27611 (919) 733-6383 051 JTPA IN A NUTSHELL A PRIMER ON THE JOB TRAINING PARTNERSHIP ACT PROGRAM IN NORTH CAROLINA' WHAT IS JTPA? The Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) is a federal law enacted in 1982 that provides funds to the states for job training. It is part of a long history of federal job training programs intended to help our citizens keep pace with advancing technology and lead more productive lives. It differs from its predecessors in its strong emphasis on meeting the training needs and standards of the business community. WHAT DOES IT DO? It offers education and training services to prepare eligible individuals to become valuable employees of businesses in their communities. These services include basic education, training, counseling, and screening for appropriate job placement. Under certain conditions, it can partially reimburse employers to train people on the job. It also offers summer jobs and related activities for young people and retraining for workers dislocated by plant closings and layoffs. WHO IS ELIGIBLE? In general, an individual is eligible for services under the Job Training Partnership Act if he/she is sixteen years of age or older and is considered economically disadvantaged according to federal income guidelines. Fourteen and fifteen year olds may also be served through a limited number of programs. In special cases, individuals facing certain barriers to employment may be eligible for Job Training Partnership Act services. Additionally, eligibility for participation in the dislocated workers programs is based on whether an individual has been "laid off" from certain occupations rather than on income criteria. To determine if you qualify for participation in programs offered under the Job Training Partnership Act, contact the service delivery area office serving your county of residence. (See listing of service delivery area offices on page 8) . HOW IS IT ADMINISTERED? All of the funds are administered by the State through the Division of Employment and Training within the Department of Natural Resources and Community Development. Seventy-eight percent (78%) of the funds coming into North Carolina for comprehensive programs and all funds coming into the state for the summer youth employment program are required by law to be distributed to areas of the state called "service delivery areas." A 1 052 service delivery area is simply a geographic area designated by the Governor to be the area in which employment and training services are provided under the Job Training Partnership Act. Each service delivery area designates an agency to receive and administer the job training funds. The service delivery areas, through the designated agency, receive funds directly from the state and are financially liable for the proper expenditure of funds. These areas administer their own programs and, within the requirements of the law and state policy, determine who will be served, what services are provided, and who provides services. There are two major categories of programs administered by the service delivery areas. These are comprehensive programs and the summer youth employment program. The comprehensive programs are available to serve economically disadvantaged individuals who are 16 years of age or older throughout the year. In certain special circumstances 14 and 15 year olds may also be served through the comprehensive programs. The summer youth employment program is operated during the summer months and may serve only economically disadvantaged youth aged 14-21. The primary purpose of the summer youth program is to provide youth with exposure to the world of work, enhance basic educational skills of the youth , and to encourage the youth to complete school or to enroll in supplementary or alternative school programs. The JTPA legislation also provides funding to the State to administer the overall JTPA system, to provide technical assistance to service delivery areas and to staff the State Job Training Coordinating Council. Funds are also designated to provide special programs to older workers, dislocated workers, for special educational programs, and to provide incentives to service delivery areas that exceed specified program performance goals. HOW IS IT PLANNED? Each service delivery area has a private industry council that plans its JTPA activities. These Councils have a majority of business representatives, and include representatives of local agencies that provide education, training, and other job-related services. The Councils are policy making bodies that have overall planning responsibility for JTPA activities, and a special responsibility to see that training meets local employer needs and standards. Each service delivery area must submit to the state a job training plan which outlines services to be provided through its JTPA funds. This plan must be agreed upon by the private industry council and the chief elected officials of the area served. ARE ALL PROGRAMS ADMINISTERED BY SERVICE DELIVERY AREAS? In addition to the funds administered by the service delivery areas, the Job Training Partnership Act designates funds for special purpose activities that are administered at the state level by the Division of Employment and Training. These special purpose activities include 2 053 programs for older individuals, state education coordination and programs for dislocated workers. The Division of Employment and Training contracts with other state agencies to operate these special purpose programs. Older individuals programs are designed to provide job training opportunities for economically disadvantaged persons who are 55 years of age or older. Programs for older individuals may include any of the training approaches that are available to service delivery areas. Funds for state education coordination and programs are split into two categories. A small portion of these funds can be used for coordination activities. The remaining funds are used to provide education and training programs directly to eligible participants. The services that can be provided under these educational programs are similar to those provided by service delivery area programs. The JTPA legislation requires that these funds be made available to state education agencies responsible for employment and training. The Job Training Partnership Act also provides employment and training services for dislocated workers, or those individuals who have lost their jobs due to plant closures or permanent layoffs. Programs for dislocated workers may involve job search assistance, job development, training in job skills, supportive services, pre-layoff assistance, relocation assistance or programs to provide early intervention in the event of closures of plants or facilities. Programs are also available to certain groups of self-employed individuals, including farmers, who are unemployed as a result of general economic conditions in the community or as the result of natural disasters. WHAT TYPES OF SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE? The Job Training Partnership Act provides local private industry councils and service delivery areas with a wide array of allowable training approaches for addressing local labor market conditions. The services provided may vary from SDA to SDA, but are classified into seven major types of activities. A summary of these activity types is provided below: Institutional Skills Training Institutional skills training provides approved course instruction in locally identified skill shortage occupations. This instruction is provided through an area community or technical college or other private school. Institutional skills training may be designed as class-size training in one occupational area for a group of participants, or for referral of participants on an individual basis to training in a variety of occupational areas. Institutional skills training may be designed to offer a participant concurrent involvement in a work experience assignment. It may also be used to upgrade the skills of employed groups who are locked into low-paying, dead-end jobs, or to retrain participants in new skills. 3 054 On-the-Job Training On-the-job training is occupational skills training provided through the private or public sector to participants who have been hired by an employer. The training occurs while participants are engaged in productive work which provides knowledge and skills essential to the full and adequate performance of the job. The ultimate goal of On-the-job training is the placement of the participant in unsubsidized employment. During the training period, the employer is reimbursed an amount that averages no more than fifty percent of the wages paid by the employer to the participant. This reimbursement is made to compensate the employer for the additional training costs and lower productivity associated with employing such a participant. On-the-job training may consist of programs for individuals who lack the skills to gain employment without special consideration or programs to upgrade or retrain employed groups that are locked into low-paying, dead-end job, or that are in need of new skills. `/ Work Experience ]� This activity is a work assignment at a public or private nonprofit worksite. The purpose of a work experience project should be to provide job experience, help the individual develop occupational skills and good work habits, and to expose the participant to various occupational opportunities. Special Training Programs This activity includes combined classroom and on-the-job training programs that are industry specific and customized industry training packages. These programs provide specific occupational skills training for a group of participants either in an institutional setting, an industrial setting, or a combination of both. Educational Training Programs Educational training is provided through area community or technical colleges or other public or private schools. The intent of these programs is to provide the basic educational skills necessary to compete in the local labor market, the life skills necessary to find and keep employment, and remedial education in basic skills areas. A participant may be simultaneously in work experience to develop occupational skills, good work habits, to provide experience on a job, or exposure to various occupational opportunities. • Services Only Programs These activities are designed to provide for outreach_ and the recruitment of participants, to assess applicants' existing skills and abilities, and to assist participants in finding and retaining employment. All of these activities may be part of any other Job Training 4 055 Partnership Act program. These types of programs are provided when the sole purpose of the program is to perform one or more of these functions. Services only programs include participant assessment, job counseling, job search assistance, job clubs, job referral and supportive services designed to aid in job retention. Exemplary Youth Programs Youth training activities are for persons between the ages of 16 and 21 who have not attained a high school diploma or who have educational deficiencies despite the attainment of a diploma. The types of programs that can be offered under exemplary youth programs are as follows: Education for Employment provides for the maintenance of a network of learning centers offering approved course instruction at convenient locations. The Extended School Day program in the public schools and high school learning labs operating within local community colleges are examples of this type of program activity. Pre--Employment Skills Training is designed to offer up to two hundred hours of instruction to youth who do not meet established academic achievement levels and who plan to enter the labor market upon leaving school. This type of program may also serve 14 and 15 year olds who are students. This type of program may include assessment, career exploration, job skills training, remedial education and labor market information. Entry Employment Experience is designed to allow an individual the opportunity to work up to twenty hours a week while school is in session and full-time during the summer and holidays. Entry employment is restricted to public and private nonprofit agencies when operated as work experience. Tryout Employment allows students, who are enrolled in secondary education programs and who have not recently held a regular job, the opportunity to work at private-for-profit sites. JTPA will pay the participant compensation (no less than the minimum wage) for the hours worked. Tryout employment positions should be ones for which the participant would not usually be hired without special consideration. The employer should be willing to hire the participant at the completion of the tryout experience. The length of the tryout experience cannot exceed two hundred and fifty hours. Co-operative Education Programs coordinate educational programs with work in the private sector. School-to-Work Transition Programs are for high school seniors who plan to enter the full-time labor market upon graduation, and dropouts who recently left school. These programs provide occupational information, job clubs, and placement/follow-up services. 5 056 Other Employment and Training Activities These programs are ones that are not directly related to providing education or training to participants but are designed to expand job opportunities and enhance participation in programs funded under the Job Training Partnership Act. Supported Employment Programs Supported employment programs are to generate paid work opportunities in competitive business and industry for persons who are severely disabled and require long-term support to obtain and maintain employment. These programs use trainers, who learn the jobs to be performed by participants, to provide the skill training and support to participants until they can perform the job duties unassisted. Supportive Services Within any of the JTPA programs the service delivery area may choose to provide the participant with services that may be necessary to participate in the programs. These services may include transportation, child care, temporary shelter, financial counseling, legal assistance, and health care. The policies governing the provision of supportive services will vary among service delivery areas. Additionally, services may be purchased through Job Training Partnership Act funds or arrangements may be made with other agencies to provide services to program participants at no cost. WHO PROVIDES THE SERVICES? Services are provided by qualified agencies or firms, including private-for-profit companies. In North Carolina, a majority of the funds go to public schools, community colleges, community-based organizations, and state agencies such as the Employment Security Commission, or to the private sector in on-the-job training contracts. In some cases service delivery areas may choose to operate programs themselves. All agencies or firms receiving funds must contract with the service delivery area to provide services in accordance with the plans, guidelines, and standards developed by the private industry council. WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE STATE JOB TRAINING COORDINATING COUNCIL? The State Job Training Coordinating Council is composed of representatives of business, state and local government, labor, and the general public. The Council is appointed by the Governor and serves as a policy advisor on issues relating to job training in the state. It has oversight responsibility for all Job Training Partnership Act programs and reviews plans and activities to see that they are moving toward goals - and objectives established by the Governor. It also has a broader mission to review state agency plans and to recommend policies and strategies to the Governor for the coordinated use of all the state's job training resources. 6 057 HOW TO BECOME INVOLVED For more information on Job Training Partnership Act programs in your area, contact the service delivery area office serving your county or call 1-800-JOB-NEED for referral to the appropriate office. 7 058 Revised 3/9/88 NORTH CAROLINA SERVICE DELIVERY'AREAS SDA NO.

The SYEP has traditionally been operated to provide summer jobs for disadvantaged youth ages 14-21 with public and private non-profit organ- izations. During the summer months there are a great number of youth unemployed, through the development of the work experience program 40 economically disadvantaged youth may be gainfully employed in Orange County. The intent of the program is to provide meaningful work, income, greater exposure to work situations, and providing the participant the opportunity to continue their education. The program operator will utilize worksites in accordance with those approved (appearing in the RFP) and develop additional worksites in which participants will be placed to help accommodate participants needs such as transportation, child care, artistic and cultural opportunities. Orange County was allocated $45,579 in Title II-B funds for the operation of this program. This funding will provide work experience slots for 40 individuals at a cost of $1, 139 per slot. All wages and fringe benefits for the eight weeks of participation are included in this calculation. Goals for SYEP participants who are students include acquiring or becoming more informed about careers and continuing their education. The program operator will be responsible for the labor market orientation through use of its own resources and materials or through coordination with other agencies. Other coordination requirements, provided in the Services section, require the Operator to coordinate with the Department of Social Services for child care, to refer all dropouts to the community/technical colleges and to refer all applicants to ESC who are not selected, or are ineligible. Goals and Ob 'ectives Goals for student participants include: -acquiring or improving good work habits -exposure to work situations -acquisition of information about careers and life skills -continuing and upgrading their education 9 For non-students, goals include those identified for students with emphasis placed upon: -continued education or training -setting career goals -job placement Services to 14 - and 15 - Year Olds Section 253 of the Job Training Partnership Act allows 14 - and 15 - year olds to participate in the Summer Youth Program if the service delivery area chooses to do so. Orange County will allow the participa- tion of this age group. Due to the numerous child labor laws, many employers are reluctant to hire this group; these youth benefit from the assistance of the JTPA Program Operator in obtaining employment in Orange County where there are limited employment opportunities available to them. Most unsubsidized jobs available to the 14 - and 15 - year old are agricultural. I 10 • 066 ORANGE COUNTY WORKSITES 1. A. L. Stanback Middle School 2. Agriculture Extension Service 3. C. W.

ORANGE COUNTY RECREATION & PARKS ADVISORY COUNCIL Presentation to Board of County Commissioners May 17, 1988 The Orange County Recreation and Parks Advisory Council recommends that the Master Park Plan be adopted by the Board of County Commissioners as the guiding planning document for the Recreation and Parks Department over the next 20 years. The Recreation and Parks Advisory Council also recommends the adoption of any and all chapters deemed appropriate and useful for inclusion in the Orange County Comprehensive Plan. Based on the information gleaned from the extensive public review processes of the last six months, we are recommending a revised 5-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) request. We recommend proceeding with funds for two (2) public swimming pools and for the development of three (3) existing, publicly-owned sites. We feel that development of parks on land that is not currently in public ownership must proceed judiciously. The communities and landowners in the areas where public sites do not now exist must be consulted early and frequently in this process. We feel that the revised request for funding the purchase of land and options on land more appropriately reflects our capacity to develop parklands in communities which do not currently have publicly-owned sites. One final note with regard to the CIP request. Many people have pointed out to you some dire educational needs in the County. We wholeheartedly support any and all efforts to address these problems. We hope however that -you will not lose sight of the fact that the children of our county spend the majority of their time outside of the classroom. If we wish to truly nourish the lives of these future leaders of Orange County we must also provide healthy, safe, and wholesome activities and opportunities during the many hours spent outside of the educational system. We see our mission as a cooperative, not competative, effort with the school systems of this county. Adoption of the Master Park Plan and our 5-year CIP request will comprise a major cornerstone in this pursuit. • 3- 7fre "'"/"- HAZEN AND SAWYER, P.C. CONSULTING ENGINEERS May 2, 1988 Mr. John M. Link, Jr. County Manager County of Orange P.O. Box 8181 Hillsborough, NC 27278 Dear Mr. Link: Hazen and Sawyer, P.C. is pleased to offer this proposal for a follow-up investigation of new issues raised relative to development of an additional water supply in Orange County. Since publication of our report on the water supply last November, it is our understanding that a specific proposal has been formulated for construction of a new dam on Seven-Mile Creek. The dam would be constructed of roller compacted concrete and the design would provide for a future expansion of the facility. The proposal contemplates that the County would acquire the property required for the project and that the Town of Hillsborough would finance construction of the dam improvements. A conceptual plan has also been developed for recovery of the necessary revenue to operate such a system. It is our understanding that the County desires to have Hazen and Sawyer review the specifics of this proposal and comment on the technical and financial merits of the project. To accomplish this objective, we have proposed to undertake the following tasks. 1) We will make a general review of the technical aspects of the proposal as developed by the Town of Hillsborough. We will make a special effort to verify the estimated construction cost of the roller compacted concrete dam. We will also review and verify the conclusions reached as to the quantity of water that could be reliably obtained from this source. 2) We will work with the County staff to better define the scheme for financing the capital improvements. Once a specific proposal is identified, we will evaluate the feasibility and reliability of generating the necessary revenues required to finance the facility. 2024 WEST MAIN STREET • P.O.BOX 2875 DURHAM,NORTH CAROLINA 27705 • (919)286-5148 RALEIGH,NC • DURHAM.NC CHARLOTTE,NC NEWPORT NEWS,VA - HOLLYWOOD,FL • NEW YORK,NY y' Mr. John M.

Box 8181 Hillsborough, NC 27278 Dear Mr. Link: Hazen and Sawyer, P.C. is pleased to offer a proposal to Orange County for Professional Engineering Services relative to alternative wastewater treatment in the County. This letter is intended to outline a suggested scope of service that will address the questions that have been raised by the Commissioners, Planning Board Members and the County staff. Our proposal is based upon the discussions during our meeting and a review of subsequent written information provided to us by Mr. Marvin Collins. We have also discussed the issue with Mr. Everett Billingsley, Executive Director of the Orange Water and Sewer Authority. Alternative wastewater treatment in Orange County can be generally subdivided into three categories; 1) package wastewater treatment plants discharging into a natural water course, 2) land application of treated wastewater, 3) variations of the conventional ground absorption system based on low pressure injection of wastewater into the soil. Each of these systems could have varying degrees of application in Orange County. To assess the appropriateness of each system, we propose to undertake the following tasks: 1. Review and summarize the current status of State regulations dealing with alternative wastewater treatment technology. 2. Review the operating history of sample projects in each category. To limit costs, we suggest limiting this task to consideration of no more than four (4) projects in each category, two with a positive history and two with a negative history. Since soil characteristics can be a significant factor, we will limit our evaluation to projects with soil characteristics similar to those in Orange. County. We will seek input from the County staff in selecting the sample projects to be considered during this effort. 2024 WEST MAIN STREET • P.O.BOX 2875 • DURHAM,NORTH CAROLINA 27705 • (919)286-5148 RALEIGH,NC DURHAM.NC - CHARLOTTE,NC NEWPORT NEWS,VA HOLLYWOOD,FL NEW YORK.NY • Mr. John M.

Our objective during this task will be to determine why some projects have been successful while others have been unsuccessful. 3. We will consult with knowledgable area individuals both in the private and public sector and summarize their comments in our report to the County. This proposal assumes that individuals from the private sector will provide their service without charge to Hazen and Sawyer, P.C. 4. The results of our investigation will be summarized in a letter/report to the County. This report will include the results of our data collection and analysis as well as suggestions as to the possible policy options available to the County Commissioners.

The Board discussed the problem of additional Rural Buffer (RB) designation in Township Comprehensive plans leading, when zoned, to spot zoning. It was the consensus of the Board to await the completion of the Open Space/Rural Buffer study before adding new RB areas to Land Use Plans.
