MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
BETWEEN
ORANGE COUNTY AND THE TOWN OF CHAPEL HILL
Funding for Joint Economic Development Programs
Article 46 Collaborative Outreach
WHEREAS, North Carolina law authorizes counties to enter into agreements with third parties to
provide services under mutually agreed upon terms and conditions; and
WHEREAS, the Town of Chapel Hill (“Town“) wishes to provide services or engage in
economic development activities as designated herein, and Orange County (“County”) and its
residents and businesses would benefit from those services or activities.
NOW THEREFORE, the County and Town agree, through this Memorandum of Understanding
(“MOU”), to the following terms and conditions:
1. County authorizes the Town to request Collaborative Outreach funding from Article 46 for
fiscal year 2022-2023 up to the amount of Thirty Eight Thousand Twenty-Two Dollars
($38,022.00). The services or activities that qualify under this funding category shall consist
of and be limited to economic development programs that aid in job creation, drive economic
growth, support existing businesses, recruit new businesses, and in the promotion of other
activities such as innovation and entrepreneurial growth, agri-tourism and agriculture in
Orange County. No other services or activities are authorized by this MOU. The funding
amount will be calculated annually based on a formula that adds the total population of
Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Hillsborough and the portion of Mebane located within Orange
County, and allocates each towns’ percentage of the total population to the total amount of
Collaborative Outreach funding budgeted in a given year ($60,000.00 for FY 2022-23).
Collaborative Outreach funds that are not requested by the Town within the given fiscal year
will automatically roll over for one additional fiscal year. Funds not requested by the end of
the following fiscal year (2023-2024) will no longer be available to the Town. This means
funding allocated under this MOU would be available to the Town from July 1, 2022 to June
30, 2024.
2. The Town shall make a request to the County, in writing, to access these funds. The request
shall include details pertaining to the amount of funding sought, a description of the services
or activities the funding would support, the expected outcomes, any additional partners in the
services or activities, and what resources the Town is providing to the services or activities.
The Town shall also express any additional role they expect the County to play as it relates to
the identified services or activities, and to acknowledge use of the Collaborative Outreach
funding as a joint partnership between the Town and the County.

3. That by entering into this MOU, the County assumes no liability for, and the Town fully
releases County from liability for damages to its property or injury to its employees, agents,
or officials caused by the acts or failures to act of its employees, agents, or officials related to
the activities authorized herein. Additionally, to the extent authorized by law, the Town shall
indemnify and hold harmless County, its officials, employees, and agents from any damage
of any type or destruction of real or personal property and for bodily injury or death to any
persons resulting from the negligent acts or failures to act of the Town or its agents,
contractors, employees, or officials in any way related to the services or activities authorized
herein.
3. The County shall not be obligated to provide work, supplies, staffing, or other items or things
to the Town for the performance of its services or activities, unless otherwise outlined in the
request as referenced under point 2. No partnership, joint venture, or other relationship is
formed by entry into this MOU.
4. This MOU shall be effective from July 1, 2022 through and including June 30, 2023. The
Town shall provide the County with a written report prior to the June 30, 2023 MOU
expiration, indicating the results of the expected outcomes including any new economic
development gains in jobs added or revenues received as a result of the actual services or
activities supported by these funds. The MOU may be renewed annually upon mutual written
agreement of both parties, and, subject to the availability of Article 46 funds earmarked by
the Board of County Commissioners specifically for the Collaborative Outreach.
Wherefore the Parties hereto have set their hands and seals this 11th day of October, 2022.
