Thanks, Perdita 7 Page 1 of 4 Lydia Wegman Volunteer Application Orange County Advisory Boards and Commissions Name: Ms. Lydia Wegman Name Called: Home Address: 5704 Cascade Drive Chapel Hill NC 27514 Phone (Day): 919-382-1904 Phone (Evening): 919-382-1904 Phone (Cell): 919-886-8775 Email: Inwegman @gmail.com Place of Employment: Retired from the US Environmental Protection Age Job Title: Last job was as Division Director Year of OC Residence: 1990 Township of Residence: Chapel Hill Zone of Residence: Orange County Sex: Female Ethnic Background: Caucasian Community Activities/Organizational Memberships: I currently volunteer at WUNC approximately weekly and work on whatever is needed on the days I volunteer. I am a member of a large number of charitable organizations, including the Environmental Defense Fund, NAACP, NAACP Legal Defense Fund, National Audubon Society, Americares, Doctors Without Borders, Oxfam America, Amnesty International, Planned Parenthood of America, Habitat for Humanity, American Civil Liberties Union, National Women s Health Network, League of Conservation Voters, Earthjustice, and numerous others. Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards: I have recently been appointed to the Commission for the Environment and will begin service on the Commission in January. Boards/Commissions applied for: Orange County Planning Board (REQUIRES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT) Background, education and experience relevant to this board: I am a lawyer by training and practiced law for several years both in the private sector and with the US Environmental Protection Agency before becoming a member of the senior leadership and policy expert with the EPA. I worked with a large variety of stakeholders, including public health and environmental organizations, industry, federal, state and local governmental agencies, environmental justice groups and academics. I believe my over 32 years of work experience with the EPA, as well as my experience as a private lawyer,will help me to be effective in working on complex planning issues and work effectively with a broad range of citizens and advocates. In addition, when I lived in Washington DC I served as a volunteer on the citizen zoning adjustment committee for Capitol Hill where I lived. My experience in working with members of my neighborhood and resolving differences of opinion related to development and additions to existing homes will, I believe, be extremely useful in working on the OC Planning Board. My education includes a BA from Yale University, and JD from Columbia 8 Page 2 of 4 Lydia Wegman University. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I have followed the growth of Orange County since moving here in 1990. I am deeply interested in the development of the county and in ensuring the preservation of the county s rural character,while recognizing the need for growth and development in appropriate locations. I am also interested in how growth can be managed to avoid altering irrevocably the beauty of the county which is the core of its appeal to new residents. I very much want to have an opportunity to participate in discussions and decisions, to the extent I can, about additions to existing projects and proposals for new projects in the county. Conflict of Interest: Orange Water&Sewer Authority Board of Directors Background, education and experience relevant to this board: Please see the answer to this question above. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: Please see the answer to this question above. Conflict of Interest: Supplemental Questions: Orange County Planning Board (REQUIRES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT) Please list the work/volunteer experience/qualifications that would add to your expertise for this board. Please see the answers provided to the question for the Board of Adjustment. What unique perspective can you bring to the Orange County Planning Board? My husband and I have lived for over 23 years in the county. I love the rural beauty and character of where we live, off of Mt. Sinai Road, while also loving the vibrancy, retail and commercial spaces and opportunities for entertainment provided by downtown Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Hillsborough. I would strive as a participant on the Planning Board to preserve that balance of services within the county and feel I am well-qualified to do so based on my many years at the USEPA, where balancing environmental protection and sustainable economic growth is essential. What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to accomplish if appointed? I believe the board s responsibilities are to ensure achievement of the county s long-term comprehensive plan for development and conservation of open space. These twin goals, which are linked to the promotion of transportation alternatives, infrastructure development, conservation of farm and park land and fostering desirable economic growth in designated areas, are crucial to sustaining the county s virtues for years to come. I hope to be an active participant on the board, educating myself fully about projects which come before the board, and raising questions or offering alternative approaches as appropriate. I would very much hope to be a constructive participant on the board, seeking to reach agreements through compromises which equitably take into account the needs of various stakeholders. What do you consider to be be the most important issues facing Orange County related to growth? Preservation of open space, including farm land and park land while permitting sustainable growth and economic development. Ensuring consideration of infrastructure and transportation needs when reviewing applications so that proponents are required to contribute to the provision of services needed to support their projects. Assuring that environmental justice communities 9 Page 3 of 4 Lydia Wegman are involved in any projects which concern them and that their needs are fully considered. Preserving the rural buffer, What role should the Planning Board take in guiding and regulating growth? The Planning Board needs to provide leadership in regulating growth. It needs to articulate the factors that it considers when reviewing projects and consider the way in which proposals are consistent with or antithetical to the county s long-term plans for growth and preservation of open space. It must reflect the views and priorities of the BOCC and identify for the BOCC ways in which a proposal supports, or fails to enhance, the county s comprehensive plan and long- term priorities. How would you, as a member of the Planning Board, contribute to the implementation of the Board of Commissioners' adopted Goals and Priorities? As noted more fully in my response to the same question for the Board of Adjustment, I believe that my expertise in and knowledge of environmental law and policy would enable me to contribute significantly to the implementation of the Commissioners goals and priorities. I believe my long experience in working with a broad variety of stakeholders would be invaluable to the Board in helping to understand the many facets of specific projects and help weigh the pros and cons of such projects in light of the goals and priorities. I am very much committed to the preservation of the county s rural areas while providing for sustainable growth within the county and believe my capacity to comprehend and balance the needs of different parties, including environmental justice communities,would be useful in implementing the goals and priorities. Orange Water&Sewer Authority Board of Directors Please list/explain your experience, either professionally and/or from other boards/commissions that you have in the areas of budget, personnel, and management. My experience as a leader and manager in the USEPA required me to develop budgets for my 55-person division, address multiple personnel matters and manage the development of complex regulatory actions with an ever-shrinking budget and workforce. From 1991 to my retirement in 2013, I was a member of the Senior Executive Service at EPA which required me to lead and manage different organizations over the course of that period. I believe my experience will be invaluable in helping make decisions on budget matters, including decisions on where to reduce expenditures, and that my work as a manager will enable me to work with a wide variety of personnel and stakeholders to develop compromise positions where parties are not in agreement. In addition to the experience listed in the question above, please list the work/volunteer experience/qualifications that would add to your expertise for this board. My training and experience as a lawyer and an expert in the Clean Air Act will enable me to understand, interpret and explain complex legal and regulatory requirements. My knowledge of environmental law and policy will help me work with a broad group of interested parties on difficult and complex questions affecting the county s environment and desire for sustainable growth. What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to accomplish if appointed? I believe the board is responsible for ensuring a sustainable environment and provide services appropriate to that goal. I believe the board needs to weigh pressures for expansion and growth of water and waste infrastructure to ensure that adequate infrastructure and services are provided within the constraints of the county s budget while protecting the county from unrestrained expansion of services and ensuring conservation of farm and park land. What is OWASA's role in growth/development issues? I believe that OWASA plays a central role in growth and development issues. Access to water and sewer is essential for large-scale development. If too many hook-ups are provided, the county may grow exponentially and lose the rural beauty, farm land and park land, all of which 10 Page 4 of 4 Lydia Wegman contribute to making it an exceptionally livable area for its citizens. Making informed and intelligent decisions, weighing thoughtfully the pressure for repairs and expansion against the need for preservation and explaining clearly and fully its decisios are key roles for the board.

Job Title: Senior IP Counsel Year of OC Residence: 2010 Township of Residence: Eno Zone of Residence: Sex: Male Ethnic Background: Caucasian Community Activities/Organizational Memberships: North Carolina Bar Association Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards: None Boards/Commissions applied for: Orange County Planning Board (REQUIRES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT) Background, education and experience relevant to this board: As an attorney, I have been trained in analyzing the law, which lends itself to analyzing all new information. While I do not have any specific background in Planning, everyone has to get their first experience somewhere. I am very interested in how our County develops and am adept at getting up to speed in new areas quickly. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: Being a resident of an area that recently had a siginficant amount of activity at the BOCC(the Eno Economic Development area), I attended several BOCC hearings and have grown very interested in how our County is governed and the different advisory boards that delve into various issues. My wife and I love this county and plan to continue rearing our children here and thus have a vested interest in how the County moves forward. Given how important this advisory board is, I was disappointed to see that my township is not represented at this time. I will be pleased for any qualified applicant to receive this position, and would be honored to do so myself to represent the interests of the folks in my area. Conflict of Interest: Supplemental Questions: 22 Page 2 of 2 Matthew Edwards Orange County Planning Board (REQUIRES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT) Please list the work/volunteer experience/qualifications that would add to your expertise for this board. Other than training as an attorney, I do not have any particular qualifications. What unique perspective can you bring to the Orange County Planning Board? Sometimes the most helpful perspective to bring is one unfettered by previous experience. I do not have any preconceptions about how things should be done and I have experienced the power of this position in my work as an IP/Patent attorney. Oftentimes, because I do not have the same level of technical background as my clients, I am more willing to ask questions as I am not afraid of looking stupid . This fosters a discussion that in turn can lead to alternative paths that may not have been visited if I had known or thought I knew the answers. What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to accomplish if appointed? From an outsider s perspective, it seems that the responsibility of this board is to recommend measures that will allow the county to grow and develop in a way that is in step with the general desires and beliefs of the county s residents. For example, Orange County prides itself on preserving nature, environmental concerns, etc and this board should help in the development and recommendation of plans to the BOCC that are in step with those beliefs. If appointed, I hope to contribue to the development and recommendation of just such plans, ones that balance the County s need for growth with the values that we all have as residents. What do you consider to be be the most important issues facing Orange County related to growth? I think the most important issue facing Orang County and its growth is that many, many people move to this county from our Triangle neighbors to live in a place that is more peaceful. Most of us enjoy nature and like to live in communities that are not a stonesthrow from commercial entities. The problem with this is that because we as residents tend to not like industry/commerce in our backyards, the residents have higher property taxes than the surrounding counties. I understand that the work of the Economid Development board is to try and develop our economy by increasing the commercial prescence, which will ultimately take some of the pressure off of residential property taxes. But this will be a difficult line to walk, as while no one likes to pay higher taxes, many residents also want to maintain the setting we have in Orange County. What role should the Planning Board take in guiding and regulating growth? I think that the Planning Board should keep as it s guiding principle the reasons that people choose to live in Orang County. If we all wanted to live in highly developed, commercial and industrial areas,we would live in Wake or Durham county. But we do not, and in fact, many of us have moved from those counties to escape those types of areas. I think the Planning Board needs to consider the values and desires of residents in the communities near to any proposed developments. How would you,as a member of the Planning Board, contribute to the implementation of the Board of Commissioners' adopted Goals and Priorities? Unfortunately,the linked filed is from 2009,so I do not believe the goals and priorities stated therein are the same as those for the current year.

This will allow me to bring fresh ideas to the board and a different energy; I imagine there aren t many young members. I have lived in Orange county my entire life, and I know what people like and don t like about a lot of the county, and I know what many would accept and not accept. Plus, since I ve grown up here, I love this county and I will fight development which won t benefit the people. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: In my classes I've been learning about the characteristics of a well designed urban environments and how this improves the quality of life for residents of such an area. I would like to join the Planning Board to try and implement some of these ideas and create the best urban environment possible. My desire also stems from interest in how urban planning is actually decided and implemented. Thus I would very much like to become a board member. Conflict of Interest: Supplemental Questions: 30 Page 2 of 2 Hunter Spitzer Orange County Planning Board (REQUIRES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT) Please list the work/volunteer experience/qualifications that would add to your expertise for this board. Classes at UNC Chapel Hill What unique perspective can you bring to the Orange County Planning Board? As a resident who has grown up in the county, I bring young, vested interest to the board, and I bring fresh ideas as a university student. And though I am learning about planning and development in my courses, I have never worked in this field before, bringing an untempered perspective to the board. What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to accomplish if appointed? I believe it is the responsibility of the board to sustainably design our county to encourage economic prosperity and the give people the best opportunities for health and happiness within the area. I hope to increase the number of legitimate bike lanes in the county, encourage mixed zoning policy, and cultivate dense development that does not jeopardize the character of our county. What do you consider to be be the most important issues facing Orange County related to growth? The most important issue facing Orange County in terms of growth is poorly managed urban sprawl. This sprawl takes up large amounts of natural areas, for low density housing, which will often be occupied by commuter families which may travel as far as Raleigh or Greensboro for work; an unsustainable system environmentally, economically and socially. It increases carbon emissions and habitat destruction and fragmentation, it causes a lot of money to leave the economy as people often leave the county to work and shop, and it weakens peoples connections to their community as people spend much of their days focused on their work outside the county. What role should the Planning Board take in guiding and regulating growth? It is the responsibility of the Planning Board to work with the Planning Department and the County Commissioners to create a viable development plan for the county. As a volunteer board, it should also make more of an effort to survey residents of the county to ensure they are happy with developments. How would you,as a member of the Planning Board, contribute to the implementation of the Board of Commissioners' adopted Goals and Priorities? By encouraging dense development of multi-purpose land areas. Including placing buildings for working,shopping,and living in close proximity builds a community,keeps development out of natural areas,and encourages healthier life styles.This would help accomplish the goals one,three,five and six. Goals two and four would require the board members cooperation with other boards and government bodies and community outreach.

As a representative of the Cedar Grove Township, I would bring the perspective of wanting to preserve the rural character while also recognizing that there must be a a€cebalancea€P somewhere as County must also work to be more fiscally sustainable with a diversified tax base. What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to accomplish if appointed? The goal of good planning is to be proactive and prepare for quality growth as opposed to waiting until growth has gotten out of hand before you realize you have a problem. Good planning should also have a healthy balance of control and consideration of fiscal impacts. What do you consider to be be the most important issues facing Orange County related to growth? Growth in Orange County is inevitable a€" ita€TMs happening right before our eyes, and it brings with it many challenges. With the growth will come an even higher level of service demands, and it is in everyonea€TMs interest that the Countya€TMs Planning a€ceroad maps€rto accommodate what lies ahead is easily understood and inclusive/representative of the values and cultures of all communities. I believe that my knowledge of public service and my connectivity to the community will allow me to bring much to the table in this area. Understanding the diversity in every part of the county is essential to local government- especially in areas such as planning that personally impacts all people and their property. Open and consistent communication is essential in all facets of government-especially in areas where all people need to understand. What role should the Planning Board take in guiding and regulating growth? The role,while difficult, should be a balanced one that represents Commissioners goals and priorities as well as residents perspectives. How would you,as a member of the Planning Board, contribute to the implementation of the Board of Commissioners' adopted Goals and Priorities? The first step would be involvement a€come to meetings,educate myself and ask questions.Another important step would be to talk to individuals in the community to better understand their stance on particular planning topics so that I am in a position to communicate their beliefs and concerns.There is much room for information sharing and dialogue. Commissioner goals and priorities cover a many of topics,and each one touches residents in one way or another. In short, I see the role of the Planning Board to be multi-faceted with involvement on the majority of the priorities. For example,one area of particular interest for schools is the Schools Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance(SAPFO). I would bring a broad knowledge base to that discussion as I have experience both as a county staff person(during its formulation and initial implementation)and as a school board member as we have learned much over the years. In addition,there are many priorities that touch on economic development,a vital part of the Countya€TA's fiscal sustainability,an area where I have an in-depth knowledge base.

I am determined to be successful despite growing up with two parents who suffer from drug addictions. I have overcome spending my middle school years living in a crack house with my little brother John. After raising my brother in that environment for nearly two years, my house was raided by SWAT and we were placed in a Child Protective Services (CPS)group home. The group home was toxic, we were abused, and no one expected us to succeed. However, I learned that you need to be aware of the opportunities that exist through creative application of rules and regulations. CPS allocates funds per child for living expenses, and by leveraging CPSa€TMs resources in combination with private scholarships, we were able to get out of the group home for the summers. Fortunately, my brother received three scholarships to attend a summer camp in the Adirondack Mountains. I was privileged to participate in three programs: a service trip to build a cafeteria in Belize, an exchange trip to China, and even spent a summer at Harvard.
