a. Matters not on the Printed Agenda
2
Rob Crook said he is here to speak to the idea of creating a non-motorized
corridor in Orange County. He said this would start in Carrboro, and go along Norfolk
rail line in the Orange County portion. He said it connects a lot of important points in
Orange County, and would provide many recreational opportunities. He said it would
eventually tie into Duke, Durham County, and the American Tobacco Trail.
b. Matters on the Printed Agenda
(These matters will be considered when the Board addresses that item on the agenda
below.)
3. Announcements, Petitions and Comments by Board Members
Commissioner Jacobs said the JPA/Rural Buffer group met again to prepare its
presentation for the Assemblies of Governments (AOG) meeting at the end of November.
Commissioner Jacobs said he received a report from the Piedmont Food Processing
Center (PFAP), which has 56 users this year. He said there were 34 users last year. He said
Wake County is interested in becoming a partner, and perhaps it may be good to have
stakeholders from across the Triangle meet together for further discussion about the local
agricultural economy. He said he would like to see the process available for local farmers to
get food into elementary schools in both districts.
Commissioner Jacobs referred to the schools, and said the Manager is working on the
metric discussed by the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) to assess the impact that
development in municipalities is having on County services. He said Orange County Schools
(OCS) is having difficulty getting a response from the Town of Hillsborough regarding local
development, and he asked Bonnie Hammersley to bring this up at the AOG meeting.
Commissioner Burroughs said the Board of Health (BOH) has hired a new Orange
County Health Director, and she commended the BOH for its commitment through this
process.
Commissioner Rich said she had her Technology and Telecommunications conference
call with the National Association of Counties (NACo) today, and gratitude was expressed for
the letter of support from Orange County about broadband. She asked John Roberts to keep
an eye on out for a bill that will allow telephone companies to build on local right of ways
without compensating the municipality or county for usage.
Commissioner Rich said NACo is starting to collect information on census data, and
she asked if staff would insure that accurate data is put forward about regional growth.
Commissioner Jacobs said the Planning Department is working on revising the
numbers.
Commissioner Marcoplos referred to Rob Crook’s presentation earlier, and said he
thinks the County should pursue this non-motorized corridor.
Commissioner Jacobs asked if this is similar to that which was proposed earlier this fall,
and referred to the Department of Environment, Agriculture, Parks and Recreation (DEAPR).
Commissioner Marcoplos said he thinks it is somewhat similar, but this proposal is
along the Norfolk-Southern rail line.
Commissioner McKee arrived at 7:31 p.m.
Bonnie Hammersley said some of the information came out of the Mountains to Sea
(MTS) trail, the modal corridor. She said staff is going to look at a countywide mobility
connectivity plan, which would include pedestrian paths, bike paths, etc. She said sidewalks
will also be discussed in these meetings, and updates will be provided in the New Year.
Commissioner Marcoplos said it would be useful to have Rob Crook come to a meeting
to talk about this in more detail.
3
Commissioner Rich said she wanted to make sure this is no way stops the progress on
the MTS.
Bonnie Hammersley said this would be separate from the MTS.
Commissioner Marcoplos said he sent an email to the Board about the NC Clean Path,
an NCWarn event. He said this will discuss renewable energies, battery technology, etc. He
said he met with the presenter last year, and he is very informative.
Commissioner Marcoplos said he received two complaints about excessive gunfire
noise, and asked if this can be addressed.
Chair Dorosin said there will be a discussion on the noise ordinance at an upcoming
work session.
Commissioner Price said she was asked to talk about the Veteran’s Day Event on
November 10th at 11:00 a.m. at Southern Human Services Center, at the Veteran’s site. She
said this area is now ADA accessible. She said on that same day, the Sheriff’s Office will be
selling BBQ to raise money for the Veteran’s Memorial construction.
Commissioner Price said she attended the OCS State of the Schools event, which was
excellent. She said it included exhibits from the students, choral performances, dancing, etc.
She said the public in attendance was asked to complete a form expressing
questions/concerns about the OCS, and how to improve them.
Commissioner Price said Orange County needs to move forward on more projects to
expand the Family Success Alliance (FSA).
Commissioner McKee said he apologized for being late, and had an issue with a
newborn calf at his farm.
Chair Dorosin said was asked to give the keynote address at the InterFaith Council
(IFC) Annual meeting, which was a wonderful event. He said there are many positive things
happening in the community, and there needs to be better engagement of those in poverty in
community events.

b. Facilities Use Policy Amendment for Inclusion of Community Center Facilities and
Fee Schedule Changes
PURPOSE:
To consider amending the County's Facilities Use Policy to:
1) recognize and govern the recently renovated Cedar Grove, Efland Cheeks and Rogers
Road Community Centers;
2) update reservation, operations, and cancellation processes;
3) update the Fee Schedules for non-Parks and Recreation spaces;
4) address the requirement to ensure adequate meeting space for advisory and quasi-
judicial boards according to the Advisory Board Meeting Overflow Policy, dated
November 1, 2016; and 5) update the guidelines regarding the availability and sale of
alcoholic beverages on County premises.
BACKGROUND:
On May 17, 2011 the Board of Orange County Commissioners (“BOCC”) approved the County
Facilities Use Policy that resulted from the Board's November 2010 review of the 1999 policy
draft, BOCC comment, and collaboration consisting of County departmental representatives.
On September 4, 2014, the Board of Orange County Commissioners approved the first
amendment to this policy that integrated the Whitted Meeting Facilities spaces.
The proposed second amendment of the Facilities Use Policy (Attachment 1) is a result of a
collaborative, inter-departmental work group consisting of representatives of the following
departments: Aging, Asset Management Services, Board of Orange County Commissioners'
Office, County Manager's Office, County Attorney's Office, Environment, Agriculture, Parks
and Recreation (DEAPR), Financial Services, Information Technologies, and the Orange
County Library. The review of the Facilities Use Policy was conducted over a period of two
years as a result of the 2014-15 Space Study Work Group and end users interested in
generally improving the policy in addition to integrating newly available facilities.
Jeff Thompson, Asset Services Management Director, made the following PowerPoint
presentation:

Financial Impact

Recommendations
1) recognize and govern the recently renovated Cedar Grove, Efland Cheeks and
Rogers Road Community Centers;
2) update reservation, operations, and cancellation processes;
3) update the Fee Schedules for non-Parks and Recreation spaces;
4) ensure adequate meeting space for advisory and quasi-judicial boards
according to the Advisory Board Meeting Overflow Policy; and
5) update guidelines regarding alcoholic beverages on County premises.
Commissioner Price referred to number 5 in the reservation adjustments, and asked if
there could be clarification.
Jeff Thompson said one is now able to make a reservation during the rolling 5-day
window, if there is availability.
Commissioner Price referred to the cancellation policy, and asked if the County keeps
the fee if a cancellation is made within 48 hours of a schedule reservation.
Jeff Thompson said yes, the County keeps the fee.
Commissioner Price asked if there is a reason that the County keeps the fee.
Alan Dorman, Management Analyst, said it is important for customers to be aware of
the value of the space and to avoid situations where people book the space simply to “hold” it
and then cancel without any repercussion. He said the policy allows all of the public the best
chance at having a fair use of the space.
Commissioner Price asked if the full amount would have been paid, and thus the full
amount kept by the County.
Alan Dorman said the space can be reserved with full payment, and if a cancellation is
made two weeks prior, a full refund will be provided; and within 48 hours of the event, no
refund will be received.
Commissioner Price said she disagrees with this policy, and would like there to at least
be a partial refund at all times.
Commissioner Price asked if the alcohol beverage sale form will replace the state
permit.
Jeff Thompson said no, the form is the one that the County Manager will approve for
alcohol sale or use on County property. He said part of this form calls for permits from
municipalities, ABC, insurance, etc.
Commissioner Price said this seems duplicative of the state permit.
Jeff Thompson said the Manager will not approve any events without the State permits
being in hand.
Commissioner Rich asked if one must have a state permit for alcohol.
Jeff Thompson said if one is selling, one must have a retail permit. He said if one is
just pouring, one must have liability insurance and a single use permit to pour.
Commissioner Rich said she does not need a permit in her work, and suggested that
staff review if a single use permit is indeed necessary.
10
Annette Moore, Staff Attorney, said it depends on the amount of alcohol being poured,
and there may be an exception in the amount that caterers are allowed to pour.
Commissioner Rich said she can use her own liability insurance to cover an event.
Annette Moore said Commissioner Rich’s situation is different than having a large event
on County property.
Commissioner Rich said sometimes it is easier to hire someone that can come in and
pour, rather than events getting permits.
Annette Moore said staff will be considering all these details.
Commissioner Jacobs referred to the last form at the back of the Board’s packet, and
clarified that this will be coordinated with Economic Development.
Jeff Thompson said yes, this is called out for suggested revision in the policy.
Commissioner Jacobs asked if Economic Development will explain to a vendor that the
County and Towns may have different rules.
Jeff Thompson said the person in Economic Development will shepherd this process,
and be a liaison for these vendors.
Commissioner McKee said he would like assurance of liability coverage for all possible
scenarios in order to protect the County.
Jeff Thompson said there is a host liquor liability policy, as well as a general liability
requirement by the applicant, which the risk manager will have to approve prior to the County
Manager doing so, which specifically indemnifies the County.
Commissioner Jacobs asked if the largest one-day fee, that one would have to pay to
use a county facility, could be identified.
Jeff Thompson said most events are not heavily charged.
Alan Dorman said $125/hour.
Commissioner Jacobs asked what happens if there is a difference in interpretation of
the weather, and an event going forward or not.
Jeff Thompson said this would be his responsibility, and staff would work with residents
for a common sense solution.
Commissioner Jacobs asked if he (Jeff Thompson) or the Manager have the flexibility
to waive a fee, if there is hardship.
Jeff Thompson said yes.
Chair Dorosin asked if this policy is for the three community centers.
Jeff Thompson said no, the policy is for any County facility that is available for public
use. He said the community centers are being added. He said as other properties are made
available, amendments will be brought forward to the BOCC to add these spaces onto the
policy.
Alan Dorman said the Manager has the right to waive/refund all fees due to inclement
weather.
A motion was made Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Burroughs for
the Board to amend the County's Facilities Use Policy to:
1) recognize and govern the recently renovated Cedar Grove, Efland Cheeks and Rogers
Road Community Centers;
2) update reservation, operations, and cancellation processes;
3) update the Fee Schedules for non-Parks and Recreation spaces;
4) address the requirement to ensure adequate meeting space for advisory and quasi-
judicial boards according to the Advisory Board Meeting Overflow Policy, dated
November 1, 2016; and
11
5) update the guidelines regarding the availability and sale of alcoholic beverages on
County premises.
Commissioner Price said she would like the policy to charge a minimal administrative
fee if a group has to back out at the last moment, since many groups are non-profits. She
proposed this as a friendly amendment.
Jeff Thompson said public purpose entities are not charged for uses.
Commissioner Price said non-profits are charged.
Alan Dorman said no they are not and this is more of a charge for people using
facilities for weddings; not for non-profits.
Commissioner Price withdrew her friendly amendment.
