Ccimnissioners present: Chairman Richard E. Whitted, and Commissioners Norm D. Gustaveson, Shirley E, Marshall and Don liillhoit. 1, Commissioners absent: Commissioner Norman Balker 2. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss with representatives of the Greater 3� Chanel rill-Carrhoro Chamber of Commerce Economic Development Committee and the Cerrboro Economic Development Corporation their desire to establish a county- 50 wide economic development commission.. Chairmn Whitted announced that the Triangle J COG had passed a Resolution the previous evening which called for President Reagan to restore Title V o'' the . Older Americans Act funding, Commissioner Gustaveson moved, seconded by C:o:,Imis- L9, sio+mer Marshall, to add this item to the agenda, Vote: Ayes, 4; noes, O. 20. Commissioner Whitted suggested the Board forward this Resolution, mortified to reflect its adoption by this Board, to the President of the United States of Amenic 22, Speaker of the House, Majority Leader in the Senate, the Secretary of Labor, and 23, our Congressmen and Senators. ?� Commissioner Gustaveson moved, seconded by Cornissior Marshall , to support 25. this Resolution and to forward it to those leaders /Tilted in the above paragraph?. Vote: Ayes, 4; noes, 0. 270 Mr, John Gastineau, Chairman of the Greater Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber of Commerce Economic Development Committee, told the Board that his committee had met with the Carrboro Economic Development Corporation to discuss their desire 30, to establish an Orange County Economic Development Commission which would be com- 3',. posed of representatives from government, private business and the municipalities 32. working with the planning departments. He said this was the only county in North X33, Carolina without some such organization. Mr-. Miles Crenshaw, representing the Carrboro Economic Development Corporation, said as he envisioned such a commission, it would work for both industrial and commercir ; devi. : ,pment. He said non-water using and non-polluting development was very 37. desirable and competition for such development was keen. He said Carrboro had 36, lost development because it did not have sufficient land and there was a lack of 39. ���� "°^_ �~ ^d cooperation among the governments in the County. He added that he defined the responsibilities of such a commission to identify land for development and to arrange financing for such development. Both Mr. Gastineau and Mr. Crenshaw said this had to be done on a county- wide basis and the Commissioners were the "key to success" in such an endeavor. They said they had prepared by-laws for an economic development commission and hoped to have the Commissioner approve their work thus far. Messrs. Gastineau and Crenshaw said they envisioned an executive director and a secretary for him/her office supplies and promotional material; expenses for the first year's operation were estimated by Mr. Gastineau at $70-75,000, Commissioner Whitted said the County had set aside some money for economic development in this year's budget and that the Board would discuss at an early meeting how to commit those funds. There was a consensus among Board members that the degree of-interest should be ascertaine from the municipalities in the County and a financial commitment to the project were the first two steps. And, other proposals should also be explored, such as the one presented by Dr. Ed Bergman's class last spring. There was a consensus among Board members to set up, with the Greater Chapel Hill-Carrboro Economic Development Committee , the Carrboro Develop- . ment Corporation and representatives from the municipalities in the County a meeting to explore interest, financial commitment, and other proposals for economic develop- ment in the County. Commissioner Whitted told Messrs. Gastineau and Crenshaw he would notify them by letter the next day of his Commissioners' representative to ° , that "exploratory task force." Commissioner Whitted thanked those bodies for their presentation and comments. With no further business to come before the Board, it adjourned by cuncensus' Richard E.

INTERIM REPORT Frank M. Kivett An Interim Report to the Carrboro Economic Development Corporation on the formati n of an Orange County Economic Development Program. f Upon examination of the Industrial and Economic Development Programs in more than one-third (1/3) of the Counties in North Carolina it is clear that most counties have an active economic development program, one that is supported with public funds, and a program that is staffed on a full time basis to meet the competition of surrounding counties in attracting new business investments and industrial employment to their communities. This research, along with information obtained through conversations with Industrial Development Representatives of the North Carolina Commerce Department, Ilead only to one conclusion. CONCLUSION: If Orange County is to compete effectively with Industrial and Business Development efforts of surrounding conties, a County-wide Organization, with both public and private support, and staffed on a full time basis, is essential. Information gathered in support of the above conclusion was not intended to be an exhaustive study of all economic development programs in the • counties of North Carolina, but an indication of the public and private support for such programs over the State. Information was gathered on programs within 35 of the 100 Counties and the following percentages reflect significant findings in these programs. 43% of the County Programs are operated by private agencies. 57% of the County Programs are Public Agency Programs. 947. of the Programs receive Public Financial Support. 067. of the Programs are supported with Private Funds only. Virtually all counties have some type of economic development program which is supported with public funds. Many contribute directly to programs that are operated by a private agency such as a Chamber of Commerce, while some counties join with other counties to form multi-county programs under the efforts of a regional council of governments or regional economic development commission. 1 Some counties support indirect programs through one of the multi-county] agencies while supporting directly a fully staffed county economic development agency. An Economic Development Commission is the most prominent public agency providing industrial and business development service and Chambers of Commerce area the most prominent private agency. The 'Central City' Chamber of Commerce may serve the entire County, or there may be a County wide or City-County Chamber of Commerce. There are also Committees of 100 as well as industrial Commissions. II Interim Report Page 2 If the agency in a particular county is an Economic Development Commission it is supported almost entirely with public funds. However, if the agency is a Chamber of Commerce or other private agency, it is generally supported with both public and private funds. RECOMMENDATIONS: Orange County Economic Development Corporation Considering that the Chamber of Commerce and the Carrboro Economic Development Corporation may not support an economic development program created and controlled as a political agency, some form of private agency proram is necessary. The formation of a new Corporation would enable afresh start' while also creating a County-wide program. An Orange County Economic Development Corporation would seem to be best suited to the economic development efforts while allowing for public support from Orange County and other public or private community support. Such an agency could also work well with industrial clients or commercial interests while at the same time treating confidential inEormatioril accordingly. Such an agency could also provide for representation of the business and financial leaders of the community through membership of representatives of the Chamber of Commerce and the Carrbozilo Economic Development Corporation. It is therefore recommended: NAME: Orange County Economic Development Corporation FORM OF New Organization incorporated, through the ORGANIZATION combined efforts of the Chamber of Commerce Carrboro EEC and other private interests.
