PURPOSE: To:

Library Complex;
2.) Review and approve the Memorandum of Understanding between Orange County and the
Town of Carrboro for the operation of the Drakeford Library Complex; and
3.) Authorize the County Manager to sign all required documents, upon final review by the
County Attorney.
BACKGROUND: At its Business meeting on January 21, 2025, the Board of County
Commissioners approved a temporary Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") between Orange
County and the Town of Carrboro to operate the Drakeford Library Complex until the condominium
agreement could be finalized. The Condominium Agreement, Deeds, Survey, and Plat have been
finalized and now must be approved by the Orange County Board of Commissioners and the
Carrboro Town Council.
Condominium Agreement and Deeds
The Condominium Agreement and Deeds formalize the ownership and broad responsibilities of
Orange County and the Town of Carrboro in operating the Drakeford Library Complex. Based on
the finalized building survey, the condominium agreement slightly adjusts the operational split of
costs between Orange County and the Town of Carrboro, with the County's share of costs
decreasing from 55.48% to 53.6% and the Town's share increasing from 44.52% to 46.4%.
2
Addationally, the Condominium Agreement describes the structure by which the Drakeford will be
managed and the relationship between the owners. The agreement establishes an Executive
Board, whose members include the Orange County County Manager and the Town of Carrboro
Town Manager.
Memorandum of Understanding
Like the temporary MOU previously approved by the Board in January 2025, the current MOU
broadly outlines the facility's operating principles as agreed to by Orange County and the Town
of Carrboro. Both parties have agreed to several changes in the current MOU, including:
• The Town of Carrboro will be responsible for providing security services at the facility.
• Early and same-day voting each year will occur in the large multi-purpose rooms on the
ground floor.
• The County and Town will agree on a comprehensive Conduct and Courtesy plan.
• The County and Town will continue to collaborate on a policy and procedures manual that
will be used to run the day-to-day operations of the facility.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: This item has no direct financial impact, as the County's costs to operate
Drakeford were included in the County Manager's Recommended FY 2025-26 budget.
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLAN: This item supports:
• MISSION STATEMENT — Orange County is a visionary leader in providing governmental
services valued by our community, beyond those required by law, in an equitable,
sustainable, innovative and efficient way.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board;
1.) Approve the Condominium Agreement, Deeds, and Plat for the Drakeford Library
Complex;
2.) Approve the Memorandum of Understanding between Orange County and the Town of
Carrboro for the operation of the Drakeford Library Complex; and
3.) Authorize the County Manager to sign all required documents and record all instruments,
upon final review by the County Attorney.

assessments or charges, and (2) special assessments for capital improvements
and for the maintenance, reconstruction and repair of Common Elements. For so
long as the Town and/or County own all Units of the Condominium, the Unit
Owners may, upon written agreement, make proportional direct payments toward
common expenses, capital improvements, maintenance, reconstruction and/or
repair directly to vendors and other providers rather than assessments paid to the
Association, provided that the allocation of direct payment to vendors or other
providers by each Unit Owner is in accordance with Article III, Section 2(b).

Owner for the Common Expenses of the Association shall be in accordance with
s
11
Article III, Section 2 (b). In the event the Town and/or County no longer owns
all Units of the Condominium, any assessment levied against a Unit remaining
unpaid for a period of sixty(60) days or longer shall constitute a lien on that Unit
when filed of record in the office of the Clerk of Superior Court of Orange
County and shall accrue interest at a rate set by the Association not to exceed
18% per annum, or the maximum interest rate allowed under the laws, it being
the intent to allow the Association to accrue interest at the highest amount
permissible under the law. The Association may bring an action at law against
the Unit Owner, or foreclose the lien against the Property. Fees (including
attorneys' fees), charges, late charges, fines, and interest are also enforceable as
assessments. Each such assessment, together with interest, costs, and reasonable
attorneys' fees, shall also be the personal obligation of the person who was the

obligation for delinquent assessment shall not pass to his successors in title
unless expressly assumed by them.

Common Element parking spaces shall be assessed as a Common Expense and
not against the Unit or Units to which the Limited Common Element is assigned.

charge for a utility service provided solely to a particular Unit or Units shall be
assessed against such Unit or Units. Notwithstanding electricity and water shall
be considered a Common Expense.
Section 3: The lien of the assessments provided for herein shall apply only in the event the
Town and/or County are not Unit Owners. In that event the lien of assessment
provided for herein shall only be subordinate to the lien of any first mortgage
and ad valorem taxes. Sale or transfer of any Unit shall not affect the assessment
lien. The sale or transfer of any Unit pursuant to mortgage or tax foreclosure or
any proceeding in lieu thereof, however, shall extinguish the lien of such
assessments as to payments which became due prior to such sale or transfer. No
sale or transfer shall relieve such Unit from liability for any assessments
9
12
thereafter becoming due or from the lien thereof.
Section 4: The annual assessments levied by the Association, , shall be used exclusively to
promote the recreation, health, safety and welfare of the Unit Owners, its
