BACKGROUND : For the last six months , Orange County has been severely impacted by prolonged and severe drought and ensuing shortages of potable water affecting residents depending on individual ground water and municipaktype surface water supplies . The County and the water suppliers have worked closely together to develop strategies ( public education on water conservation techniques , installing water conservation devices on plumbing fixtures , etc . ) and restrictions to protect the public health and welfare by prolonging the life of the area ' s water supplies through the drought period . It now seems , with the appearance of unseasonably early and unusually copious rainfalls of late , that the drought may be broken and the water supplies replenished . However , all of the threat of drought is real and that the heretofore unthinkable Orange County now knows that possibility that an entire region could run out of potable water is a credible threat to the public welfare . In dealing with the drought situation , the BOCC has recognized both the possibility of dire water shortage and the availability of simple technologies and strategies that can enable ei e hene to conserve a significant portion of the community ' s potable water demand . Accordingly , Board has determined to adopt a resolution recommending and requesting that residents and igilant for the possibility of disaster as well as to water providers of Orange County remain v continue to develop and implement the strategies necessary to avert that disaster by conserving potable water supplies by all practicable means . IJt pry 2 FINANCIAL IMPACT : None RECOMMENDATION ( S ) : The Manager recommends that the Board review and adopt the resolution in its current form or as may be revised and authorize the Chair to sign the resolution .

Southom Park Process — Approval , Construction and Finarycial Issues In February of 2002 ; as the Intergovemmental Furls fork Group was developing recommendations on a proposed comprehensive joint parks process , a committee was formed with representatives from the Chapel Hill Town Council ( Mayor Foy , Council members Bill Strom and 1=licka Bateman ) and the Board of Commissioners Barry (CommissionersrBarryJacobs and Margaret Brown ) to discuss process issues . The group agreed to focus on developing a Process specific to Southern Park ( leaving the comprehensi a process � r7 issues tc the III' 'Work Group ) , As a result of the group ' s discussions , on July 2411 A proposeci outhem Park Process was transmitted from the Town ' s mpresentativea . This draft was reviewed briefly at the ward ' s September 9111 work session , and is provided as Attachment 3 . At the September 911' meeting , staff was asked to develop a draft response addressing several issues that +sere raised , Staff graft of a proposed response (which , once developed , would unt committee representatives to the Town representatives isprovided as Attachment �- Southern Park represents the first substantive joint County/ Town parks verfiure , with sever unique characteristi . The project is a Towtrn park , located inside cf the Town 's planningaI jurisdiction �- but funded entirely with County t * nd funds (S795 , 000 from the �1997 Park Bond , $ • 0 million from the 2001 Parks and Open Space Bond ), s a unique venture taut ono that may gave � °pilot project " aspects (making these process issues useful in future joint project discussions ) — staff agrees that a gecialprocess is warranted to address park construction and approval rnethods . In general , the staff draft response would agree to much of the Town representatives ' proposal (which is itself -fail consistent with the IP Work roup ' s comprehensive joint projects process ) . y The draft would suggest changes to the financial; provisiOns sectio n regarding the method of funding . In this light , staff proposes to use the BOCC 's November 2000 KPCl� and olrcy on Planning and Funding School Capital Proieets' ' as a model to prescribe ham and County funding Mould be pro + ided . The draft also proposes changes to the degree of y involvement and participation in the different components of pTaject approval . All proposed changes to the Town proposal are shown in bold in the attached draft (Attachment 4 ) . Following consideration of the Conceptual Plan by the Board of ComrnisslonerS5 and the resolution of the process , the Town plans to develop a Special Usa Permit application for the park . This process is anticipated to take approximately one year to complete , and will include additional public comment (as woll as two oppvrtunites for the Counter to provide comment ) , resulting in eventual approval by the Town Council , Following the Special Use, Permit , construction plans for the park would be prepared and , after County and To vn approval of tha project budget and provision of funds , park construction would begin . FINANCIAL IMPACT , The provisional cost estimate for the park , as calculated in the GDncoptusl Plan , is $ 3 . 76 million . Revisions based on changes made by the Town Council have not been incorporated into this eatlmate , A total of 2 , 795 , 000 would be available the combination of 1997 and 2001 County bond funds for this project . To date , 206 , 0 from the 1997 bond amount has already been appropriated ( 10 : 000 towards the construction of the soccer field at adjoining Scroggs Elementary , and $ 100 , 000 for the concept plan and associated costs ) . There are no Town funds identified for this project . The 2 million in 2901 bond funds are scheduled in the Bond and Alternative Financing schedule that the Board approved in October . The planned issues provide for two equal 1 . 0 million installmont :5 for Suuthem Parr , in FY 2004 = 05 and 2995 - 06 . This schedule is consistent vwith thie requested 11ming from the Town , submitted in the spring of 2002 . The Town has not yet addressed funding the 1 million in additional funds identified in the Conceptual Flan a tirr� , ted budget . It ro mfined G0st estimates will be developed as the park construction drawings are prepared . As such , plans for phasing of the park construction may be n e ssa ry . As noted above , financial issues in the Towns ,July 4�' proposed cuthem dark process have been addressed in the daft staff response as it regards an interAoc,al ogreement and the timing of bond funds . RECOIL MENDATION (S ) : The manager recommends that the Board address the Items related to Southern Park as follows. 1 ) Discuss the Town ' s response to issues raised regarding the Conceptual Plan (Attachments 1 and 2 ) , and determine whether any additional questions or requasta for additional information exist ; Schedule the Conceptual Flan a :s a decision item for approval on November 19h or December ' ; 3 ) Discuss staff s draft response on the Southern Park Process ( Attachment 4 ) , and provide feedback to Commissioners Jacobi and Brown regarding the official response to the Town repre se ntative B .

BACKGROUND : The Board adopted the Lands Legacy Program in April 2000 . Through this program , Orange County seeks to protect its most critical natural and cultural resources through a variety of voluntary means . Over the first two years of the program , the County has protected 794 acres for future use as parkland , nature preserves , farmland and historic/ cultural sites . The Lands Legacy Program is activated by adoption of an Annual Action Plan , concurrent with the CIP process . For this fiscal year , the Action Plan was withheld until decisions about the CIP and bond sales were made , since these directly impact the Action Plan . The draft Annual Action Plan for 2003 = 04 will be developed this fall and presented for the Board ' s retreat in January 2003 . The Action Plan identifies acquisition priorities for 2002 -2003 . Given the fact that the fiscal year is already underway , many of the priorities listed in the plan are already familiar to the Board . The draft plan was developed with considerable input from four citizen advisory boards (with their areas of expertise in parentheses ) : Commission for the Environment ( natural areas and prime forest , riparian buffers ) , Agricultural Preservation Board (farmland preservation ) , Historic Preservation Board ( historic and cultural resources ) and the Recreation and Parks Advisory Council ( parklands ) . 2 The draft Action Plan is consistent with the Lands Legacy Long -Term Priorities document (2002 -2010 ) that was adopted by the Board in April , 2001 . Based on Board discussion at the November I I work session, the Adams Tract has been removed for separate consideration and is not a part of the Action Plan as presented here (staff proposes to add it later if the Board decides to pursue the joint acquisition) . A new section addressing working with UNC and Duke on land issues of mutual interest has been added, and language has also been added noting that acquisition of new parklands will be considered in conjunction with updates planned to the Parks Element of the Comprehensive Plan : FINANCIAL IMPACT : Funds to accomplish the priority projects for FY 2002 -2003 are present in the current CIP and other existing and future sources , including appropriations from the 2001 Parks and Open Space bond , alternative financing for conservation easements , and the Lands Legacy Fund ( pay- as - you go funding ) . Where known , the proposed funding source is listed in the attached Action Plan (Table 1 ) . Final decisions on funding for land acquisitions are considered as purchases are presented for approval in open session . As in previous acquisitions , in each case separate project budgets with specific funding streams and amounts will be addressed at that time . RECOMMENDATION ( S ) : The Manager recommends that the Board adopt the revised Annual Action Plan for 2002 -2003 . 1 ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT202 Meeting Date : December 2 , Action Agenda Item No . - o SUBJECT : Pro osed Enviro IN nmental Summit a 11 nd III Conservation Award PUBLIC HEARING : (YIN ) DEPARTMENT : ERCD No INFORMATION CONTACT : ATTACHMENT ( S ) : David Stancil , ext . 2590 Proposed Summit Agenda Proposed Nomination Form with Criteria Rich Shaw , ext . 2591 . • TELEPHONE NUMBERS .

The CfE is working on the second State of the Environment Report (2002 ) for presentation to the Board in January 2003 . To help publicize the report and create an event organized around environmental issues , , the CfE has developed a proposal to hold an " Environmental Summit on March 29 , 20 to g together the man different groups and organizations involved in environmental protection . The Summit would also help publicize the findings and recommendations in the bi annual work with other the Environment report , and generate further discussion of how the County can entities ' urisdictions , private sector , general public ) to monitor and improve the quality of t e environment . An agenda for the March 29 initial summit is attached (the proposed summit would be held on Saturday morning ) . The Board has been polled on the date for the Summit .
