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. I want to apply my ability to identify creative strategies has enabled me to see tremendous opportunities that have been overlooked. t� upique background would certal'nly bringq a fresh perspective to tre school.

I think I can bring the perspective of someone who was born and raised in OC, as well as someone who is early into their adult life. My skills being focused in finance and accounting will hopefully make me a valuable member of the Board when considering costs, and the financial impact that proposed changes will have (both the financial impact to the individuals in our communities, and to the community as a whole) What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to accomplish if appointed? First and foremost, I think the Planning Board should serve as a gut-check for the county s annual budget-ensuring that all items included have been thoroughly discussed and contemplated. Further, I think the responsibilities of the Planning Board include a thorough analysis of proposed developments, changes, and ideas that will have an impact on our county s residents. Primarily the Planning Board should serve as a voice of the community. What do you consider to be be the most important issues facing Orange County related to growth? It may sound simple, but I believe that transportation is the most important issue facing Orange County today and in the near future. With population growth inevitable, and occurring year-over- year, the need for updated transportation systems is becoming more evident. You see this with longer traffic jams all across the county. Another important issue I think we are facing is affordable housing. With the increase in population, also has come a greater demand for homes, and thus an increased premium on housing costs. I am interested in joining this discussion on how we can create solutions to this issue. What role should the Planning Board take in guiding and regulating growth? In my opinion Growth is inevitable and generally a positive thing. I believe the role of the Planning Board in regards to guiding and regulating growth is to ensure that the RESULT of said growth is a sustainable community. That can mean a lot of different things must be taken into consideration - population density, financial feasibility, town utility abilities, etc. But I think the ultimate role in guiding and regulating growth is to ensure a sustainable, thriving community is created. How would you, as a member of the Planning Board, contribute to the implementation of the Board of Commissioners' adopted Goals and Priorities? I think I could do a great job of analyzing the budget and helping with a successful implementation/communication of said budget. My familiarity with Orange County will provide me with the ability to have an expert understanding of what kind of impact land use changes and zoning changes will have. And my passion for long-term investing will hopefully help contribute towards the long term implementation of the Capital Investment Plan. 24 Page 3 of 3 Gio Mollinedo Boards/Commissions appointments: Other Comments: This application was current on: 8/15/2019 Date Printed: 8/15/2019 25 Page 1 of 3 Joseph Parrish Volunteer Application Orange County Advisory Boards and Commissions Name: Joseph Parrish Name Called: Home Address: 1250 Ephesus Church Rd, Apt.

Being a young, but relevantly educated resident, I have a strong sense of the years to come and the need for good, long-term planning. Furthermore, utilizing the strategic thinking methods handed down to me in my military education, I find it easy to look at issues and break them down into basic ideas for effective planning and communication to others. What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to accomplish if appointed? I think the responsibility of the board is to assist local governance by providing foresight in the development and use of public assets. If appointed, I hope to help guide the community along a thriving path for future success. What do you consider to be be the most important issues facing Orange County related to growth? 27 Page 3 of 3 Joseph Parrish As part of the ever-growing Triangle, I see issues such transportation, housing, and education being vitally important. We must successfully tackle these issues for the purpose of accommodating higher levels of commerce, growing neighborhoods, and the needs of the children that live in these growing neighborhoods. What role should the Planning Board take in guiding and regulating growth? To make an effective plan for any group or organization, you need to be a step ahead. The Planning Board should therefore take a leading, proactive role in guiding and developing growth. It has to set the pace. Additionally, we should have a role at the end of the process, in order to hear feedback from other entities and determine how successful our planning as been so far. Foresight requires hindsight. How would you, as a member of the Planning Board, contribute to the implementation of the Board of Commissioners' adopted Goals and Priorities? I would be a part of those informing the Board of Commissioners about what those things should be.Once those goals and priorities are handed to us, it would be up to us to envision how to make them possible,much like how orders are passed along in the military to next level down.

Have represented owner/applicants for development proposals in Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Hillsborough and Orange County. Not presently representing any development application for property within the Orange County Government Planning and Zoning Jurisdiction. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: Interested in the continuing process of planning for economic and employment growth in appropriate locations in Orange County AND the provision of affordable housing and the rules and regulations that protect the important environmental features of the County.

Particularly the need for a multi modal and social equity systems capabilities physically and financially. 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. 30 years as a resident and city planning/land development consultant in Orange County, Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Hillsborough. Thorough knowledge of the role of the Planning Board and a background in economic development and housing development within the County. I was the primary consultant to the owner/developer of the Waterstone Development and initiated the conversations with County Commissioners and Durham Tech that resulted in the location of the Orange County Campus within that development. What unique perspective can you bring to the Orange County Planning Board? Pragmatic experience in realistic agricultural land preservation, the economics of development, community design, and the relationship of County planning and economic development efforts in conjunction with the Town of Hillsborough. In addition, I have been developing Fiscal Impact analyses for proposed developments and local government comprehensive plans for about 40 years, including the Fiscal Impact analysis of Waterstone and several development proposals in Chapel Hill and Durham. What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to accomplish if appointed? While a planning board is charged with providing advice and recommendations to the Commissioners on planning, zoning and development matters; it is a board that should [and in Orange County does] provide a thorough sounding board location for residents, businesses and county government entities especially- more specific topical advisory boards-to merge the conversations about needs and desires for our future community. As product, the board seek to synthesize and develop proposed plans to reach the community goals, plans then vetted through a broad review process ending up in the hands of the elected commissioners for adoption and or modification and adoption. What do you consider to be be the most important issues facing Orange County related to growth? As strange as it may sound to many, making sure our public education system [Orange County, Chapel Hill - Carrboro, and Durham Tech] provides a thorough education for all our residents. Without adequate education, good employment opportunities and economic growth for all residents will be limited and reduce our ability to provide the quality of life conditions we want for all. Beyond this, I believe that the limitations on the extension of public water and sewer beyond the current limited areas around Hillsborough and Chapel Hill/Carrboro need to be re-examined and I believe it is the role of the County to initiate this discussion. 30 Page 3 of 3 Scott Radway What role should the Planning Board take in guiding and regulating growth? I think one of the most important roles should be an annual review of movement toward accomplishing the Board of Commissioners adopted Goals and Priorities. The Planning Board should play a role in this process. Too often, changing conditions- especially those factors well beyond local control -force us to recognize that the achievement of our goals must be pursued via revised regulations. Witness the many changes made to local control by the current and immediately past NC State Legislature. How would you, as a member of the Planning Board, contribute to the implementation of the Board of Commissioners' adopted Goals and Priorities? I am a strong supporter of the adopted goals and priorities-especially the social equity issues. Other than comprehensive planning,the planning board s major interaction with many of these goals is encouraging and measuring if and how proposed private[and public]development meets community goals AND provides safe,livable neighborhoods and business areas.

I was involved in the UNC airport relocation discussions, became more familiar with rural Orange County development concerns as a member of OWASA and gave feedback on spurring economic development county-wide during several of the preliminary Orange County EDD discussions (and am interested in how those districts are evolving).

I would like to serve as a conduit for citizen input and take a more active role in reviewing these new changes to help the BOCC get the best results for their initiatives. 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. At the County level, I ve served as a citizen activist on numerous county-wide issues. Within Chapel Hill, I ve served on Chapel Hill s Technology Advisory Board, Horace-Williams Citizens Committee, Downtown Parking Task Force, Sustainable Community Visioning Task Force. As Chapel Hill s appointee to OWASA, I have worked hard to maintain the highest fiscal and environmental standards throughout the organization. As the current Chair of the HR Committee, I ve emphasized policies that serve to bolster a productive and effective work force. What unique perspective can you bring to the Orange County Planning Board?

It s important that our wider community has access to the decisions that are made on their behalf and I d work hard to improve communication and participation by our citizens in this key governmental process. What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to accomplish if appointed? The Board has both operational and strategic responsibilities. Strategically, the Board reviews relevant policy changes by other Board s for impacts on land-use policy. The Board is responsible for analyzing changes within the UDO (and other regulatory frameworks)to make sure they align with the BOCC s goals as well as serving the general public good. Operationally, the Board reviews proposed projects to make sure they adhere to established regulatory requirements, align with BOCC initiatives, synchronize with economic, social and environmental goals. The Board can recommend improvements in plans and determine if variances in policy are warranted by an overriding public good. What do you consider to be be the most important issues facing Orange County related to growth? Integration and consistency. Integration of municipal growth within Orange County. Integration of social, transit, economic and environmental policies with planning policy. Integration of policy within a wider regional context. Consistency within Orange County s own approach and overlaps with municipal and ETJ concerns. What role should the Planning Board take in guiding and regulating growth? The Planning Board can take the time and provide the analysis to make sure our community is being well-served by growth. As Orange County grows we need to make sure that our citizens can continue to be able to afford to live here, that the quality of life we ve come to accept isn t degraded, that our economic base is improved without diminishing the environment. How would you, as a member of the Planning Board, contribute to the implementation of the Board of Commissioners' adopted Goals and Priorities? 33 Page 3 of 3 Will Raymond I have an established record of promoting transparency within the governance process and would like to work on improving communication between the Board and the wider community on Planning issues. I ve also worked on numerous environmental issues throughout Orange County and realize that OC has a regional role to play as these concerns straddle our county s boundaries.As a member of Orange County s Project Connect s social service outreach process, I m well aware of the depth and growing need within our community. I d work to make sure our Planning policies encourage an economically and socially diverse community.
