1 APPROVED 10/3/22 MINUTES ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS BUSINESS MEETING September 6, 2022 7:00 p.m. The Orange County Board of Commissioners met for a Business Meeting on Tuesday, September 6, 2022 at 7:00 p.m. at the Whitted Human Services Center in Hillsborough, NC. COUNTY COMMISSIONERS PRESENT: Chair Renee Price, Vice Chair Jamezetta Bedford, and Commissioners Amy Fowler, Sally Greene, Jean Hamilton, Earl McKee (arrived at 7:05 p.m.), and Anna Richards COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ABSENT: COUNTY ATTORNEYS PRESENT: John Roberts COUNTY STAFF PRESENT: County Manager Bonnie Hammersley, Deputy County Manager Travis Myren, and Clerk to the Board Laura Jensen. (All other staff members will be identified appropriately below) Chair Price called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. All commissioners were present except Commissioner McKee. Chair Price welcomed everyone back from the summer meeting break. Chair Price invited Bonnie Hammersley and John Roberts to introduce new county employees. Bonnie Hammersley asked Cy Stober, Planning and Inspection Director, Shameka Fairbanks, Human Rights and Relations Director, Erin Sapienza, Orange County Library Director, and Nish Trivedi, Transportation Services Director to stand and introduced them to the Board. She noted that the Human Rights and Relations Department will soon be renamed the Office of Equity and Inclusion.

John Roberts invited staff attorneys Martha Bordogna, Morgan Pierce, and Joseph Herrin to stand and introduced them to the Board. The Board welcomed the staff attorneys. 1. Additions or Changes to the Agenda None. Chair Price dispensed with reading the public charge. Commissioner McKee arrived at 7:05 p.m. 2. Public Comments (Limited to One Hour) a. Matters not on the Printed Agenda Dan Howarth said he moved to Hillsborough in 2013. He said he volunteers in the community and has chosen Orange County as home. He said he is very happy with Orange County. He said he is happy to return home after he has been away. He said that when he 2 comes back from the west, he feels very upset and sad because on Highway 70, there is an enormous symbol of intimidation that is displayed on private land. He said that he wanted to go stand on public land and display a countersign but there is too much of a police presence there to allow someone to stand. He suggested that a sign be placed on county property at North Campus welcoming all people into the community and speaks to who the county is. He said that people could submit suggestions and there could be a contest to see what could be displayed there. Jennifer Bremer said that she is an Orange County voter. She said electing county commissioners should be constitutional and said the current method does not hit that bar. She questioned if the current process complies with the state's constitutional requirement for equal voting power. She said as a Chapel Hill voter, she gets to vote for five out of the seven commissioners, while Hillsborough residents only vote on four out of the seven and that this does not comply with the equal voting power. She said that this also violates the equal protection clause of state constitution. She said she cannot think of a purpose to justify this and that almost all counties across the state use a different method. She said Orange County and Carteret are the only counties that use this method. She said that residents have a right to vote in a way that complies with the one person one vote principle. 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 Greene said she was ready to get back to work after the break and was glad to see everyone. Commissioner Fowler said she attended three Alliance board meetings, and they continue to go live for their tailored plan that will start in December. She said that means that both mental and physical health will be administered via Alliance for Orange County residents with Medicaid or Innovation Waivers. Shes said that because of her current employer having a contract with Alliance, she will no longer be able to serve as a liaison to the Alliance Board after December due to conflict of interest. She said that JCPC met on August 5t" and of note is that the number of individuals being referred have continued to increase as things have opened up. She said that the TARPO agenda is online. She said that she also attended ABC meetings. She said that the Southern Village store will open in late September and the new Mebane store early in 2023. She said that the June 2022 sales were slightly down compared to June 2021. She said that the Behavioral Health Task Force heard a presentation from the HEART team in Durham. She said this diverts 911 calls away from law enforcement to the HEART team. She said Orange County should be working towards this. She said the Library Task Force will be meeting the following Monday. Commissioner Bedford had no comments. Commissioner Richards said she was glad to be back and that she celebrated one year on the Board on September 3rd Commissioner McKee said he has long advocated for additional recreation facilities. He said there is a deficit for field sports like baseball, field hockey, and lacrosse. He formally petitioned the board to direct asset management to work with the Recreation Department and the assistant manager to identify a developed parcel of property in central Orange County and adjacent to Hillsborough, which has the potential for water connection and is in proximity to public transportation, to develop an athletic facility for field sports for Orange County youth. He said that he would provide this to the Chair in writing. 3 Commissioner Hamilton said she attended the Efland Cheeks back to school block party and the Latin American festival in late August. She said that the School Capital Needs Work Group will have a report out very soon. Chair Price said she attended North Carolina Association of County Commissioners (NCACC) conference and took emergency preparedness training along with Commissioner Bedford. She said some of that will be discussed at a future work session. She said she ordered county map books for the rest of the Board, and they have a lot of good information. She said she attended a Health Department event on August 31st on the topic of International Overdose Awareness Day. She said that there is a free NARCAN vending machine in the detention center. She said Dean Mike Smith from the UNC School of Government is retiring after 30 years and to recognize his work, she petitioned the Board to prepare a proclamation honoring his retirement. She also petitioned the Board to approve the placement of a historical marker at the Old Courthouse. Chair Price said 988 is a state-level alternative to 911, and more information will come available soon. 4. Proclamations/ Resolutions/ Special Presentations a. Orange County Preparedness Month Proclamation The Board considered a proclamation declaring September 2022 as "Orange County Preparedness Month". BACKGROUND: National Preparedness Month is recognized each September to promote family and community disaster planning now and throughout the year. The theme of this year's National Preparedness Month is "Prepare to Protect. Preparing for disasters is protecting everyone you love." North Carolina has continued to experience an unusually high volume of disasters, to include the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, winter weather, severe weather (including tornadoes), and infrastructure disruptions. So far this year, Orange County has experienced multiple watches and warnings issued by the National Weather Service for severe weather, flooding, and tornadic activity. The 2022 Hurricane Season continues to be above normal in predictions for both severity and frequency of storms. Commissioner Bedford read the following Proclamation: ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS PROCLAMATION September 2022 - "Orange County Preparedness Month" WHEREAS, it is critical for every community, business, family, and individual in Orange County to be prepared for natural and man-made disasters, including tornadoes, flooding, and hurricanes, as well as disease outbreaks like COVID-19; and WHEREAS, in 2018, Hurricane Florence brought significant rainfall in September, and was followed by Tropical Storm Michael in October; both storms causing widespread power outages and flooding, with Florence resulting in more than $26 million in damages while Michael exceeded $500,000; and 4 WHEREAS, Orange County experienced an estimated $1.2 million in estimated damages from severe weather in 2020; and WHEREAS, the National Weather Service issued 14 Severe Thunderstorm Warnings, one Flash Flood Warning, and three Tornado Warnings for Orange County in 2021; and WHEREAS, year to date, Orange County has already experienced significant severe weather activity to include 35 Severe Thunderstorm Warnings, six Flash Flood Warnings, one Flood Warning, and one Tornado Warning, and WHEREAS, the National Weather Service confirmed an EF-1 tornado with maximum wind speeds of 105 miles per hour impacted Northern Orange County on May 6, 2022; and, WHEREAS, community members can take a few simple steps — creating an emergency supply kit, making a family disaster plan, and staying informed — to help make preparedness a personal responsibility and improved health a priority in our community; NOW, THEREFORE, we, the Orange County Board of Commissioners, recognize Orange County Emergency Services - Emergency Management Division, along with emergency managers throughout the nation, who have collaborated to recognize September as National Preparedness Month, and the Board joins them in encouraging Orange County residents to stay informed and prepared; FURTHERMORE, the Orange County Board of County Commissioners hereby declares September 2022 as "Orange County Preparedness Month." This the 61h Day of September 2022. Renee Price, Chair Orange County Board of Commissioners A motion was made by Commissioner Bedford, seconded by Commissioner Greene, to approve and authorize the Chair to sign the proclamation. VOTE: UNANIMOUS Kirby Saunders, Emergency Services Director, said almost five hundred residents have been certified in basic training. Chair Price thanked Kirby Saunders for his leadership throughout the pandemic and in the face of all of the disasters in the county. 5 5. Public Hearings a. Application for Zoning Atlas Amendment — Undeveloped Parcel (PIN 9844-88-7024) at Northeast Corner of Forrest Avenue and Efland-Cedar Grove Road, Efland The Board held a public hearing, received the Planning Board/staff recommendation and public comment, closed the public hearing, and considered action on an applicant-initiated Zoning Atlas Amendment for a 2.32 acre parcel at the northeast corner of Forrest Avenue and Efland- Cedar Grove Road in Efland, Cheeks Township, Orange County. BACKGROUND: The basic facts concerning this application (Attachment 1) are as follows: Applicant: Irwin Properties, LLC 346 Elizabeth Brady Road Hillsborough, NC 27278 Parcel Information: A. Parcel and Size: PIN 9844-88-7024. An approximately 2.32 acre parcel; B. Township: Cheeks; C. Current Zoning: Rural Residential (R-1); Major Transportation Corridor (MTC) Overlay District; Efland Village Overlay District; and Upper Eno Protected Watershed Overlay District; D. Requested Zoning: Medium Industrial (1-2); No amendments to the three existing overlay districts are proposed. E. Future Land Use Map (FLUM) Designation: Commercial- Industrial Transition Activity Node (CITAN) (Attachment 2); STAFF COMMENT. The "Land Use and Zoning Matrix" in Appendix F of the Comprehensive Plan indicates the 1-2 zoning district is an appropriate zoning district in areas designated as CITAN. F. Growth Management System Designation: Urban Designated; G. Existing Conditions/Physical Features: The parcel is currently undeveloped; the topography is relatively flat with drainage swales. Other than a small clump of trees near the center of the parcel and three additional clumps of trees on the eastern property line, the parcel has been cleared of vegetation (other than grass that is kept mowed) for years; H. Roads: The parcel has approximately 200 feet of frontage along Forrest Avenue on the south side of the parcel, and approximately 280 feet of frontage along Efland-Cedar Grove Road on the west side of the parcel; 1. Water and Sewer: The property is in an area served by public water/sewer. Orange-Alamance Water System 6 provides water service in the area. Sewer service is provided by the sewer lines operated by the City of Mebane. Surrounding Land Uses: North: 1.01 acre parcel zoned Neighborhood Commercial (NC-2) supporting a self-wash car wash; South: Forrest Avenue and NC Railroad/Norfolk Southern tracks. West: Efland-Cedar Grove Road and three parcels zoned Rural Residential (R-1) ranging in size from 0.35 to 0.52 acres in area. Two of the parcels are developed with single-family residential land uses, and one parcel is owned by Efland Presbyterian Church, located at the corner of US Highway 70 and Efland-Cedar Grove Road, and supports a storage building; and East: A 5.9 acre parcel zoned Medium Industrial (1-2) on which the 43,600-square foot former Efland Hosiery Mill operated for many years. The mill ceased operation more than two years ago and the building is vacant, with recent building permits issued for interior upfits. This parcel is owned by the same owner as the parcel requested for rezoning. Development Process, Schedule, and Action: The typical cadence for the review of a Conventional District Zoning Atlas amendment is: • FIRST ACTION — Submission of a Conventional District (formerly "general use district") Rezoning application with required supporting documents by the property owner. STAFF COMMENT: The applicant submitted the required application and documents in early March 2022. • SECOND ACTION — The Planning Board reviews the application at a regular meeting and makes a recommendation to the BOCC. STAFF COMMENT: The Planning Board reviewed the application at its regular meeting on June 1, 2022 and voted 6-3 to recommend the BOCC approve the rezoning application, as presented. • THIRD ACTION — The BOCC receives the Planning Board recommendation, holds an advertised public hearing, and potentially makes a decision after the hearing (either the evening of the hearing or at a subsequent BOCC meeting). STAFF COMMENT: Public hearing is scheduled for September 6, 2022. Conventional District Rezoning: Zoning promotes development of land uses that can co-exist in proximity to one another consistent with the promotion of the public health, safety, and general welfare. Regulations establish opportunities/constraints associated with land development in an attempt to ensure one person's `reasonable use' of property does not impact another person's ability to make reasonable use of their property. This request involves a property owner seeking to change the zoning designation of their property from a Rural Residential (R-1) conventional zoning district to a Medium Industrial (1-2) conventional district allowing for development of "enterprises engaged in manufacturing, processing, creating, repairing, renovating, painting, cleaning, and assembling of goods, merchandise, or equipment." In acting on a conventional district rezoning request, the County is unable to impose conditions and the applicant is not required to define how the property may be used or developed. If approved, all land uses permitted within the 1-2 district could be developed on the property, consistent with applicable regulations. Conventional district rezoning decisions are based on the BOCC's legislative determination that the request is consistent with the purpose and intent of the Comprehensive Plan. A formal site plan must be submitted, reviewed and approved by staff prior to any development activity on the parcel, in accordance with Section 2.5 of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). Proposal: The applicant is requesting the conventional zoning district for the parcel with PIN 9844-88-7024 be changed from R-1 to 1-2 stating: "The requested zoning change promotes the desired use according to adjoining use and the Orange County long-range planning information, and is consistent with the existing uses in the area. The requested change from R-1 to 1-2 zoning is requested to accommodate these uses consistent with the promotion of economic improvements in the area. Proposed uses and development plans for projects will be designed and reviewed in accordance and consistent with the Unified Development Ordinance requirements and permitted uses. This proposed zoning change promotes benefits for allowing uses in an area which are not currently available under the current zoning, while protecting the surrounding public interest via the notification and rezoning process." Public Notification: In accordance with Section 2.8.7 of the UDO, notices were mailed on August 22, 2022, 15 days before the Public Hearing, via first class mail to property owners within 1,000 feet of the subject parcel, providing the date/time of the Public Hearing where the proposal is to be reviewed. Staff also posted the subject parcel with signs indicating the date/time of the Public Hearing on the rezoning request on August 23, 2022. See Attachment 3 for notification materials. Similar notification also occurred for the June 1, 2022 Planning Board meeting — see the agenda materials for specifics: https://www.orangecountvnc.gov/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/Agenda/ 06012022-1531 Planning Board Recommendation: The Planning Board reviewed this item at its June 1, 2022 regular meeting and voted 6-3 to recommend approval of the rezoning application. Approved minutes from the meeting and the signed Statement of Consistency are included in Attachment 4 and meeting materials are available at: http://orangecountvnc.qov/AgendaCenter/Planning- Board-26. One member of the public attended the Planning Board meeting and spoke against the rezoning. Planning staff did not receive any phone calls or written comments prior to the Planning Board meeting. Planning Director's Recommendation: As required under Section 2.8.5 of the UDO, the Planning Director is required to `... cause an analysis to be made of the application and, based 8 upon that analysis, prepare a recommendation for consideration'. In analyzing this proposal, the Planning Director offers the following: 1. The proposal is consistent with goals/objectives outlined within the Comprehensive Plan concerning development, including: a. Land Use Goal 3: A variety of land uses that are coordinated within a program and pattern that limits sprawl, preserves community and rural character, minimizes land use conflicts, supported by an efficient and balanced transportation system. b. Economic Development Objective ED-2.1 of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan: Encourage compact and higher density development in areas served by water and sewer. 2. The proposal is consistent with the appropriate and allowed zoning districts for the Commercial-Industrial Transition Activity Node (CITAN), as shown in the Land Use and Zoning Matrix contained in Appendix F of the Comprehensive Plan. 3. The amendment is consistent with the adopted Efland-Mebane Small Area Plan which called for a mix of uses in this area. The Planning Director recommends approval of the Statement of Consistency, indicating the amendments are reasonable and in the public interest, contained in Attachment 5 and the proposed zoning atlas amendment ordinance contained in Attachment 6. Effect of Denial or Withdrawal: In the event the rezoning application is denied or withdrawn, it should be noted that Section 2.2.8 of the UDO states that no application for the same or similar amendment, affecting the same property or portion thereof, may be submitted for a period of one year. The one year period begins on the date of denial or withdrawal.

Commissioner McKee said he thinks it is currently in commercial operation for pipe laying or fiber laying. He said it does not seem to be an empty mill anymore. Cy Stober said there has been recent activity and staff is investigating the matter. A motion was made by Commissioner McKee, seconded by Commissioner Fowler, to open the public hearing. VOTE: UNANIMOUS PUBLIC COMMENT: Marilyn Liner said she is a life-long resident of Efland. She said she opposes the proposed rezoning of the property in question. She said she attended the Orange County Planning Board meeting, and some members of the board expressed some opposition. She said that the public turnout was low because of a lack of communication. She said there were signs placed on the property for notice but that they were small print, flimsy, and unprofessional. She said the applicant said they will build a warehouse. She said when suggestions were made the Board said it was not possible to put any retail business due to its proximity. She said she cannot think of a church in the state that does not have a retail location near it. She said the overlay plans as provided in the agenda materials seem to be contradictory. She said that the Efland Village overlay appears to be addressing the concept of a village with residential development and services for the residents. She said the village is served by Orange-Alamance Water system. She said that is separate from the county. She said the County started a sewage system after the elementary had septic system issues. She said not approving businesses in Efland hurts Orange County. She asked the Board to reject the application to keep the village concept in place. Kristin Marbais said she disagrees that this meets the criteria of the Efland Village Overlay. She said the word village invokes a certain image and this type of business would not maintain that. She said there are a wide variety of businesses that may go in there and this will increase traffic and exacerbate issues in the area. She said there are thousands of warehouses in the area that are empty and ready for rent. She said this type of property is not needed here. Chad Huffine said he and the applicant tried to address any concerns during the Planning Board meeting. He said based on staff reports, the advertisement was within the state requirements. He said that the proposed tenants have the same right or ability to work in Efland where they live and a lot of the space that Irwin Properties is providing will be homes that help build the community. He said there is high demand for a local office person/contractor to locate here. He said there is a unique blend of residences. He said regardless of the zoning change, if a large structure such as a house was built it would have to deal with the same constraints. A motion was made by Commissioner Richards, seconded by Commissioner Fowler, to close the public hearing. VOTE: UNANIMOUS Commissioner Bedford said there were concerns about getting in and out of property at the Planning Board meeting. She asked what the process will be for driveway design. Cy Stober said if any development happens, site plan will include driveway plans and will go to staff for approval. He said that any driveway design will need to be permitted by NCDOT. Commissioner Richards asked about the timeline. 18 Cy Stober said that the review is consolidated to include DOT, Fire, Environmental Health, and Planning. He said that all of those groups are at the table offering comments for the same site plan. He said it is typical for it to take four or more months for a site plan to be approved and thinks this application would be a typical review. Commissioner Greene thanked the public and Planning Board for their comments. A motion was made by Commissioner Greene, seconded by Commissioner McKee, to approve the Statement of Consistency (Attachment 5) and Ordinance Amending the Zoning Atlas (Attachment 6) to allow the rezoning request, as presented. Commissioner McKee asked if there are any structures being used in the block other than commercial. Cy Stober said there one that is being used as a residence and it is one that fronts on Forest Ave. He said that there is one that has had a substantial addition to it. Commissioner McKee asked if the majority of it is commercial. Cy Stober said yes. Commissioner Hamilton asked if there is a more descriptive language that describes the Efland Village overlay district. Cy Stober said he parsed through the ordinance and pulled the most descriptive language. Commissioner Hamilton asked if the county commissioners could ever change the permitted uses under types of medium commercial/industrial use. Cy Stober said yes, and the entire Unified Development Ordinance is created at the pleasure of the commissioners as elected by the people of the county. Chair Price asked what the setback regulations are. Cy Stober said it is sixty feet. Chair Price said the village came up many years ago during the Efland-Mebane Small Area Plan. Commissioner Hamilton said the language does not necessarily clearly describe what the Commissioners might want it to be. Commissioner Richards asked if the proposed changes in signage will address some of the issues that have been brought up from the community and commissioners. Cy Stober said the proposed signs are included as an information item on this agenda. Bonnie Hammersley said once the signs are available, staff will do a media push to educate residents on the meaning of each sign. VOTE: UNANIMOUS A motion was made by Commissioner Greene, seconded by Commissioner McKee, to approve the Statement of Consistency (Attachment 5) and Ordinance Amending the Zoning Atlas (Attachment 6) to allow the rezoning request, as presented. VOTE: UNANIMOUS b. Orange County Transportation Services —ADA Paratransit Plan The Board held a public hearing and considered adopting a resolution approving the Orange County Transportation Services (OCTS) American Disabilities Act (ADA) Paratransit Plan. BACKGROUND: Recent changes to the ADA Title II requires public transit agencies to extend complementary ADA-accessible transit service to eligible persons within 3/4-mile of any fixed 19 route service. In order to demonstrate compliance with this requirement, each system providing fixed-route service is required to adopt an ADA Paratransit Plan detailing all transit services as well as the eligibility certification process. Federal Transit Administration (FTA) requires that recipients of federal funds conduct a public hearing for any changes in transit services. With recent improvements to OCTS fixed routes, paratransit and mobility-on-demand services, OCTS staff implemented the following public process to update the County's ADA Paratransit Plan: • May 18, 2022 — Orange Unified Transportation Board (OUTBoard) received the initial item and commented on its public process • July 20, 2022 — OUTBoard received the revised plan and provided comments • July 21, 2022 - Friday, August 19, 2022 — Thirty-day public comment period • August 17, 2022 — OUTBoard unanimously recommended BOCC approve the updated Paratransit Plan • September 6, 2022 — BOCC conducts public hearing and considers adoption of the resolution approving the 2022 ADA Paratransit Plan.

VOTE: UNANIMOUS 6. Regular Agenda a. Opioid Update and Proposed Charge and Composition of the Opioid Advisory Committee The Board: 1) Received an update on the Opioid Settlement Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the State of North Carolina and local governments on proceeds relating to the settlement of Opioid Litigation; 2) Considered selecting Option A or Option B regarding how the County will spend opioid settlement funds on opioid remediation activities; 3) Discussed and considered a proposed charge and composition establishing the proposed Orange County Opioid Advisory Committee; and 4) Considered authorizing the Clerk's office to begin soliciting membership applications based on the Committee composition so that the Board can review applications and make appointments by November 15, 2022. BACKGROUND: In July 2021, a bipartisan coalition of state attorneys general announced the National Opioid Settlement — a historic $26 billion agreement that will help bring desperately needed help to communities harmed by the opioid epidemic. The State of North Carolina and all one hundred counties, including Orange County, joined the agreement. Orange County is expected to receive $6,799,780 over an 18-year period. A Memorandum of Agreement between the state and local government directs how opioid settlement funds will be distributed in the state. These funds can only be used to address the opioid epidemic. In follow-up to the update, the Board is asked to make a decision on whether the County will spend opioid settlement funds on opioid remediation activities either under Option A or Option B as detailed in the MOA. The Board also needs to discuss the charge and proposed membership composition of an Opioid Advisory Committee. Staff seeks direction from the Board on: 25 • the appropriate entities or areas of expertise that should be represented on the Committee; • the number of at-large residents that should serve on the Committee; • the total number of members the Committee should include; • whether there will be a formal application process; and • any other details regarding the establishment of the Committee. Assuming there is an application process, a formal determination now of the general composition and number of members of the committee will allow the Clerk's office to begin soliciting membership applications and should allow for a pool of candidates for the Board to review by November 2022 and make formal appointments.

Slide #11 Orange County Opioid Task Force In October 2019, Orange County Health Departrnent and UNC Health requested the Board's approval for a joint collaboration to build and sustain a local task force to convene stakeholders and coordinate activities to address the opioid epidemic. The Task Force identified 3 priorities to Initially address: Education; Reduce oversupply of prescription opioids; and Expand treatment and recovery oriented systems of care. These priorities were in alignment with the State Opioid Action Plan. With the arrival of COVID in March 2020, the group did not meet again until January 2022. 31 Slide #12 Proposed orange County pioid Advisory Committee With the arrival of settlement funds and the need to formalize our work related to opioid abuse remedia#ion, we propose the appointment of an opioid Advisory Committee. Proposers Charge for the Commaittee To include but not limited to the following; Discuss opioid-related health concerns and issues impacting the residents of orange County; • Advise the Board of Commissioners on options to expend funds to remedy opioid impacts; • Plan and host an annual meeting open to the public to receive input on proposed uses of the settlement funds and to encourage collaboration between local governments.

Commissioner Fowler said intuitively, she prefers option A as a physician because that is the option that will provide the fastest assistance. Quintana Stewart said she would support it because they do not lose the option for strategic planning. Commissioner Fowler asked if they choose Option A, could they still collaborate with other groups in different counties. Quintana Stewart said she does not interpret any limitations on collaboration. Commissioner Greene said the NCACC has resources to guide staff along. She said some of the items on Option A comes from what Orange County is already doing. She said Option B would work for counties that are not used to doing this work or building framework for multi-county strategic planning. She said she believes staff and the board will be able to hit the ground sooner with Option A. Commissioner Richards said she is not aware of active programs around this issue for young people. Chair Price said they saw this in agenda review and that she wanted to add the schools in there somewhere but that it has not been determined exactly how they will fit in. Quintana Stewart said both school systems are represented on the task force now. She said that it is possible to add a position for youth. She said that the Health Department tends to work with the schools about smoking and vaping. Commissioner Hamilton said she agrees that Option A is a good approach. She said the Board needs to know who in the community is at-risk to make the most impact with the dollars. She said increasing the number of residents and youth representation on the advisory committee is important. Quintana Stewart said in North Carolina, those most impacted are white males between the ages of 25 and 34. She said they make up 72.9% of those affected by opioids. She said they are not seeing deaths among the youth population, but prevention is important. 33 Commissioner Hamilton said that it is also important to understand the contributing factors of those most impacted. Commissioner Richards said this is a health problem that has consequences for law enforcement. She asked what the efforts are focused on most. She noted the task force is very heavily weighted towards law enforcement. Quintana Stewart said that there is a history of law enforcement interaction on the task force. She said that it has been related to their reach in the community and their experience administering the reversal rather than on the criminal side. She said that many times they are the first to show up on scene and are able to administer NARCAN to reverse the overdose. Chair Price said the focus here is law enforcement in the role as first responders. She said they are working to keep mental illness out of detention centers but it is very important to have the law enforcement as first responders. She said that when this first started, one of the lead departments was libraries because they were often coming in contact with overdoses in libraries. PUBLIC COMMENT: Caroline Pruitt said she was present on behalf of Orange Partnership. She asked the Board to consider placing their efforts in prevention. She said that prevention efforts save money on overdose treatment later on. She said that treatment is crucial, but the further upstream dollars are placed, the less that will have to be spent on the back end. She said that it is important to get youth perspective on advisory committee. Gayane Chambless said that this has been a passion since 2008 and they have officially been working on it since 2011. She said then there was not a single medicine drop site. She said that the Drop Your Meds program was born out of Orange County and Orange Partnership. She said she is surprised about Option A because option B is what was recommended by the advisory council. She said that she strongly suggests prevention be included. She said that in 2015, fentanyl was fifth leading cause of death with alcohol as number six. She said that now, fentanyl is number one and alcohol is number three. She said those statistics are specific to North Carolina. She said that medicines are in the top ten of deaths and that two of the medicines are not included in the reporting system and this is a concern. She said that about 80% of overdose deaths involve two or more, or poly-substance use. She said they need to work on primary prevention. She asked what will we do to prevent the future onset of opioid use disorders. She said those appointed will need to be attuned to the ever-evolving landscape of the opioid epidemic. Commissioner Bedford asked if early prevention in Option A could be interpreted to include prevention. Quintana Stewart said that is the way she understood it and read it. Commissioner Bedford said she supports Option A and including prevention. She asked to discuss the charge. She said that it is important to match composition of the task force to the charge. She said that she does have a concern with 25% being focused on law enforcement. She said she is not seeing the social needs like housing and other direct service work represented. She said she does not know a lot about this epidemic, but there should be a racial equity approach so maybe there could be space for one of the equity officers. She asked if would be important to reframe the composition to focus on a social medical concern and then the group can invite any experts that they need. Chair Price said Option B looks more amenable to what the county needs to do at this point. She said they have already done a lot of first part of that. She said that she is in disagreement about pushing law enforcement out of the picture because they deal with it so closely. She said they need to have law enforcement participate so they can begin to look at 34 this as a more social and health issue rather than a crime. She said the charge needs more, including some benchmarks so they can add monitoring and evaluation. She said that there should be some short-range plans. She said she is leaning more toward Option B. Commissioner Hamilton proposed a change to the charge by adding, "to prevent opioid abuse, and to remedy the opioid impacts." Commissioner McKee said he sees advantages to both options, but thinks the best for expanding and tailoring to Orange County is Option A. He said Option B is more nuanced. He said law enforcement is the first contact and the most contentious contact at times. He said that the elected boards in the county have made a concerted effort to refocus from punishment to prevention. He said that regardless of whether law enforcement is on this committee, they are in the mix, so they need to be at the table. Commissioner Greene said Commissioner McKee said everything she was going to say about law enforcement. She said that she was moved by the words of the Carrboro Police Chief and believe they need to be at the table. She said she prefers Option A. Commissioner Fowler said she still agrees with Option A with the addition of strategic planning for gaps. She said that she thinks there should be more housing support roles and more people with lived experience in the composition of the task force. She said that UNC School of Public Health may have done a report on what would be most cost effective. Chair Price said asked if the committee would take the strategies and put them into a plan. Quintana Stewart said in the immediate, the group would come back with a recommendation on where to start. Chair Price said she wants there to be a youth voice at the table. She said that she heard from students years ago about circumstances at home and in school and that part of prevention that they need to work on is what happens earlier in life. She also said focus on veterans is important. Commissioner Richards said CJRD and crisis units would be different than having officers represented. She said the data from 2020 does not reflect what has happened over the past two years, especially challenges for young people. Commissioner Bedford said she thinks what law enforcement would bring to the table could be captured regardless of jurisdiction, so there could be fewer dedicated positions. She said this would help clear space for prevention, equity, housing, etc. Chair Price said she sees differences between the agencies. She said a lot of law enforcement officers are in the community and have relationships with people. She said it is not about arresting people. Commissioner Greene said law enforcement are not interchangeable because they represent four different jurisdictions and out of respect should be represented. Commissioner McKee said he was part of a group that organized Caldwell Fire Department. He said there were a lot of people that had different ideas about how to do it. He said that each member of the board was picked to have different perspectives at the table. He said that law enforcement is a necessary part of the community, and they represent entities with different characteristics. A motion was made by Commissioner Hamilton, seconded by Commissioner McKee, to select Option A regarding how the county will spend opioid settlement funds on opioid remediation activities. VOTE: UNANIMOUS 35 A motion was made by Commissioner Hamilton, seconded by Commissioner Bedford to amend the proposed charge to state: "Discuss opioid-related health concerns and issues impacting the residents of Orange County and advise the Board of Commissioners on options to expend funds to prevent opioid use and remedy opioid impacts; Plan and host at least one annual meeting open to the public to receive input from municipalities on proposed uses of the settlement funds and to encourage collaboration between local governments. VOTE: UNANIMOUS A motion was made by Commissioner McKee, seconded by Commissioner Greene, to approve the proposed composition, with the addition of two flexible positions, of the Orange County Opioid Advisory Committee. VOTE: UNANIMOUS A motion was made by Commissioner Fowler, seconded by Commissioner Bedford, to authorize the Clerk's office to begin soliciting membership applications based on the committee composition so that the Board can review applications and make appointments by November 15, 2022. VOTE: UNANIMOUS b. Acknowledgement and Reaffirmation of Uses for the Proceeds from the Article 46 Sales Tax The Board considered approving a new Resolution regarding the Economic Development portion of the Article 46 One-Cent (1/40) optional sales and use tax approved by voters on November 8, 2011; and confirmed Orange County's continued commitment to fund economic development and public school capital needs for the next ten years, originally evidenced by the Resolution approved by the Board on June 21, 2011. BACKGROUND: On April 5, 2011 the Board of County Commissioners adopted a Resolution calling for a Special Advisory Referendum to be held on November 8, 2011 concerning the levy of a One-Quarter-Cent County Sales and Use Tax (Attachment 1). On April 19, 2011 the Board of Commissioners adopted A Resolution Regarding Uses of a Potential Revenues from a One-Quarter Cent (1/40) County Sales and Use Tax. The resolution established a ten-year commitment to allocate 50% of the funding to the County's two school systems and 50% of the funding to Economic Development initiatives. On June 21, 2011 the Board of Commissioners approved an updated Resolution regarding uses of potential revenues from a One-Quarter Cent (1/40) County Sales and Use Tax (Attachment 2). Below are the initial categories identified for the 50% Economic Development portion of the funding. Focus Area Percentage Expenditures Debt Service on 60% $750,000 Infrastructure • Installation of backbone water and sewer infrastructure in Economic Development Districts 36 • Fiber optic availability for non-residential development as appropriate • Approximately 60% of allocated funds will be used for debt service annually for the next 10 years Collaborative Outreach 1.5% $15,000 - $20,000 • Marketing and prospect recruitment, including trade shows targeted to specific business clusters • Collaborative development projects with municipal partners • Industry Appreciation events allowing Orange County industries the opportunity to network with other businesses and local and state officials • Development of a Local "Economic Health" Summit, providing a regular update of the County's Economic Development programs and provide an assessment of the County's economic health Collateral Materials 1.5% $20,000 • Creation of materials inventory to support marketing efforts, both in cooperation with our municipal partners and stand-alone materials • Update Orange County Economic Development's online presence Innovation Space 5-10% $75,000 - $125,000 • Foster the local growth of university-affiliated entrepreneurs • Support transition from university to private sector, such as providing lease subsidies • Work with municipal and/or university partners to identify specific areas of targeted assistance Agriculture Economic 2-20% $25,000 - $250,000 Development • Provide limited capital support to PFAP for processing equipment that can add value to Orange County farm products • Provide support to local farmers to strengthen their product marketing and promotion • Continue to develop support network for new farmers • Provide assistance for food entrepreneurs that have graduated from PFAP Business Investment Grant 8% 1 $100,000 • Facilitate marketing Orange County to prospective businesses • Client support for site preparation, relocation assistance, or site investigations • Competitive pursuit of targeted projects Small Business Loan 0-16% Up to $200,000 for the first Program few years • Start-up capital and expansion funds for Orange County small businesses • Collaborate with local economic development partners (municipalities, chambers of commerce) to extend the program's reach Establishment of 501c (4) 12-16% Up to $200,000 for several entity years Explore the feasibility of creating public-private stand-alone economic develop entity On November 16, 2011 the Orange County Board of Elections certified to the Board of County Commissioners that, in said advisory referendum held on November 8, 2011, 10,749 ballots (60.68%) were cast FOR and 6,965 ballots (39.32%) AGAINST the levy of the additional one- quarter cent (1/40) County Sales and Use tax in the County. 37 On December 5, 2011 the Orange County Board of Commissioners adopted a Resolution to approve uses of Article 46 revenue to fund economic development and public school capital needs for an initial ten years (Attachment 3). A Special Revenue Fund was established to receive and account for the One-Quarter Cent 1/40) County Sales and Use Tax. The funds have remained separate from the County's General Fund to allow for more accurate tracking of revenues and expenditures in accordance with the initial ten-year allocation plan. Collections for the initial ten-year period have been as follows: Fiscal Year Collections 2012 $709,663.25 2013 $2,732,717.94 2014 $2,859,674.61 2015 $3,000,536.84 2016 $3,215,661.88 2017 $3,535,129.93 2018 $3,725,492.96 2019 $3,987,946.55 2020 $3,674,507.75 2021 $4,318,897.26 2022 $1,282,154.63 (Partial Reporting) Total $26,367,339.01 During the 2012 to mid-year 2022 period, Orange County Schools and Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools have received 50% or $13,183,669.51 of the total Article 46 revenues. As the initial ten-year period for Article 46 funding has expired, the following categories for the Economic Development portion of Article 46 funding are being proposed. It is anticipated that the Education portion of Article 46 will remain as outlined in the original Resolution. Debt Service on Utility $881,720 Infrastructure Examples include: Installation of backbone water and sewer infrastructure in the Economic Development Districts Economic Development Partnerships $272,000 Examples include: Economic Development Summit, Chambers of Commerce Dues, UPROAR Art Festival, Collaborative Outreach with Municipalities, Durham Technical Community College's Small Business Program, Research Triangle Regional Partnership Dues Entrepreneurship $325,500 Examples Include: Launch Inc.

Steve Brantley said there is a simple annual agreement between the County and the Town of Chapel Hill. He said they give funds to the towns. He said that they provided two years' worth of money to Hillsborough, and they made ADA sidewalk improvements at Colonial Inn and that Carrboro uses it for the Music Festival. He said that it will be expanded in future years for broader outreach. A motion was made by Commissioner McKee, seconded by Commissioner Richards, to approve and authorize the Chair to sign the Resolution reaffirming Orange County's commitment to economic development and public-school capital needs for a period of ten additional years. Commissioner Bedford said this revenue source is in addition to the Board's target funding percentage for schools.

He said it took a lot of faith from Morinaga to come to Orange County and changed the future. He said this commitment will make great improvements to the future. c. Orange County's Recommendations Regarding Goals for Inclusion in the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners' (NCACC) 2023-2024 Legislative Goals Package The Board considered approving a Resolution Detailing Orange County's Recommendations Regarding Goals for Inclusion in the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners' (NCACC) 2023-2024 Legislative Goals Package. 43 BACKGROUND: Every two years, the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners (NCACC) organizes a process to develop a legislative goals package. The purpose of the package is to develop a consensus of broad support on legislative goals and issues for matters affecting North Carolina counties that may be addressed by the North Carolina General Assembly during the next two calendar years. The goals and issues included in the package, with their broad support, guide and strengthen NCACC representatives and staff as they converse with individual legislators and committees on legislative matters. NCACC initiated the process to develop its 2023-2024 Legislative Goals Package in May. North Carolina counties have been asked to submit proposed legislative goals for consideration for inclusion in the Package by a September 12, 2022 submittal deadline. The County's Legislative Issues Work Group (LIWG), including Commissioners Renee Price and Anna Richards, County Attorney John Roberts, and County Manager's Office staff, has developed a draft resolution for Board consideration that outlines several proposed legislative goals for inclusion in NCACC's 2023-2024 package. The LIWG's draft resolution is attached. The Board will likely want to discuss the draft resolution and possibly add to, delete from, and/or revise the language of the proposed goals included in the draft. Greg Wilder, Assistant to the County Attorney on Legislative Issues, reviewed the background information for the item. Commissioner Richards thanked those who worked on the committee for their work. Chair Price said the legislative goals committee takes recommendations from the policy steering committee and it gets whittled down to a smaller number anyway. Commissioner Fowler said it is difficult to pare it down because they are all very important. Chair Price said that this is going to the state association and other issues can go to the county's delegation when they meet with them in the spring. A motion was made by Commissioner Fowler, seconded by Commissioner Hamilton, to approve and authorize the Chair to sign the resolution as presented. VOTE: UNANIMOUS d. Resolution Supporting Operation Green Light for Veterans The Board considered draft resolution expressing support for Operation Green Light for veterans. BACKGROUND: Operation Green Light is a new national collaborative initiative of the National Association of Counties (NACo) to support military veterans, as well as raise awareness about the unique challenges faced by many veterans and the resources available to assist them and their families. Approximately 200,000 members transition out of the armed services each year. In the period following separation from the military, service members face the challenge of transitioning to a post-military civilian life. Tragically, evidence suggests that transitioning veterans are at higher risk for suicide, yet they often do not receive adequate support and resources. Veteran suicides have claimed over 30,000 lives since 2001 alone — four times more than the number of U.S. military personnel who died in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan. Veterans make up roughly 11% of adults experiencing homelessness. Of that group, 70% of homeless veterans also experience substance abuse, and 50% live with mental illnesses like 44 post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In 2019, 61% (or 11.7 million) veterans were over the age of 65. Beginning November 7t" through the 13t", county buildings across the nation will be illuminated green, letting veterans know that they are seen, appreciated, and supported. November 11 t" is Veterans Day. Individuals and businesses are also encouraged to change one light bulb in the entryway of your house or business to a green bulb. Chair Price reviewed the background information for this item. A motion was made by Commissioner Greene, seconded by Commissioner Fowler, to approve and authorize the Chair to sign the resolution. VOTE: UNANIMOUS 7. Reports None. 8.
