BACKGROUND: Pursuant to North Carolina General Statute 153A-40, the Board of County Commissioners must fix the time and place of its meetings or provide a notice of any change in the Regular Meeting Schedule. The Board will consider amending its regular meeting calendar by changing the locations of the 2 Budget Public Hearings -scheduled for May 31 St and June 4t"and re-scheduling the Clerk's evaluation to a later date in June: • Consider moving the May 31St Budget Public Hearing, at 7:30 p.m., from the F. Gordon Battle Courtroom~to the Superior Courtroom (upstairs from the F. Gordon Battle Courtroom), 106 East Margaret Lane in Hillsborough; and • Consider moving the June 4t" Budget Public Hearing at 7:30 p.m. from the Southern Human Services Center to the Sonya Haynes Stone Center for Black Culture and History, 150 South Road, UNC, Chapel Hill, N.C. (rental fee has been waived); and • Consider moving the Clerk to the Board's evaluation from June 4t" Southern Human Services Center to Monday, June 18 at 5:30 p.m. at Government Services Center in Hillsborough, NC' (prior to Budget Work Session at 7:30 p.m.) FINANCIAL IMPACT: The rental fee of $250 for the Stone Center has been waived. There may be minimal costs associated with the hiring of a campus Public Safety Officer ($35/hr) to ensure the presence of security during the event and to secure the building after the event. However, the Clerk's office has been in contact with the Orange County Sheriff's office and they are scheduled for this event anyway and they would be available (2 deputies) to attend the event at the Haynes Center and stay through the evening, thus reducing the need for the DPS for the entire event. The Center also recommended having a student technician from the Student Union in attendance as well and the costs for that would be minimal (we have placed a call to the Student Union) RECOMMENDATION (S): The Manager recommends that the Board amend their regular meeting calendar by: • Consider moving the May 31St Budget Public Hearing, at 7:30 p.m., from the F. Gordon Battle Courtroom to the Superior Courtroom (upstairs from the F. Gordon Battle Courtroom), 106 East Margaret Lane in Hillsborough; and • Consider moving the June 4th Budget Public Hearing at 7:30 p.m. from the Southern Human Services Center to the Sonya Haynes Stone Center for Black Culture and History, 150 South Road, UNC, Chapel Hill, N.C. (rental fee has been waived); and • Consider moving the Clerk to the Board's evaluation from June 4th Southern Human Services Center to Monday, June 18 at 5:30 p.m. at Government Services Center in Hillsborough, NC (prior to Budget Work Session at 7:30 p.m.)
