ORANGE COUNTY 7 NOR-J-H CAROLINA Commissioner McKee said there would be an impact on residents from the revaluation. He asked the department chiefs in attendance what the effect would be if the tax rate increases were not approved. 6 Philip Nasseri of White Cross Fire said they face personnel cost issues and inflation on maintenance and apparatus purchases. He said their debt service is wrapped into the tax rate. He said that a third of the request is for personnel. He said inflation has affected the cost of maintaining equipment. He said they would cut staff if the tax rate is not approved. He said this is the only place they can make cuts and that would impact the ISO rating and response times. He said the insurance increase would be higher than the tax increase. Commissioner McKee said he is aware of the impact of the ISO rating. He said the fire service is one thing that every resident benefits from. He said that he is not suggesting a cut and wanted to know the specifics for the impact. Chair Bedford asked for an explanation of ISO ratings. Tony Blake, President of the Board of Directors of the White Cross Volunteer Fire Department said that this Board has supported the personnel needed. He said over four years, their expenses are up 50% over that timeframe. He said they need the increase in revenue. Jeff Cabe, Fire Chief of Orange Rural Fire, said that homeowners insurance has a rating based on personal protection classification. He said that is an evaluation of the fire protection that the property gets, the closeness to fire station, training, how many firefighers respond, the equipment on the trucks, response time, and numbers of fire fighters that show up. He said in Orange County they have ratings of 3, 4s, and 5s and the highest you can get is a 1. He said that Orange County does not have the tax base to get to the 1 rating. He said the higher the rating, the higher the cost of insurance. He said you must be within five miles of a fire station to get the best rating. He said that the ISO rating considers a lot of things, and it directly relates to property insurance premiums for real estate. Chair Bedford thanked the fire chiefs and departments for their comments. Vice-Chair Hamilton said asked for more information on the salary and wage increases. Philip Nasseri said they are based on certifications and time and grade. He said they are now at $14 - $17 an hour and are looking to increase to $18 - $22. He said they are in a wage war in the Triangle area. He said the goal is to provide a regional wage. He said that $17 - $18 is not at the top market rate of the area. Jeff Cabe said Orange Rural is a full-time paid staff department. He said they are considered a private corporation and must pay general industry wage standards. He said their starting salary is $35,000 a year and competitors are anywhere from $45,000-$50,000 with far less certifications and way more people. He said the last ISO evaluation they received he was told they need 20 per day. He said if they do not get the tax increase, the positions will not be filled, there will be no raises, and there will be impacts. He said they cannot afford to hire additional personnel. Commissioner Carter said she attended the Cardiac Survivor reunion and many of the folks in the room were in attendance too. She thanked them all for what they do to take care of everyone in their highest moments of need.

Paul Slack, Director of the Office of Civil Rights and Civic Life, said that it is a Fair Housing Investigations and Intake Training.

She said the thought is if they can get more staff and exam rooms, they will be able to serve more people. Commissioner Fowler said the expense of funding the position is typically offset by revenue. Chair Bedford said she submitted that budget amendment to hold-up on the expansion because she wants to take another look at all departments and the boardroom that they are in. She said they were informed that Medicaid dollars must be used for health department specific programs.

Kirk Vaughn, Budget Director, continued the presentation: Slide #56 Housing Department - page 178 — Longtime Homeowners Assistance Program increased $24,000 to provide sufficient funding to cover the increase in taxes in the Recommended Budget for the average household as compared to last year's award. — Original analysis did not account for the revaluation nor looked at the specific cohort that received funding in FY 2025. — Tax office provided information about the impact of the revaluation on that original cohort. Their pre-appeal tax values have increased 59%from FY 2025, above the county average. — That cohort will see on average a 16% increase in County tax burden through the revenue neutral rate calculation, and a 22% increase in burden based on the Manager's Recommended Budget. — Longtime Homeowner Assistance program benefit in FY 25 provided a greater benefit to the 587 households than just the increase in taxes from FY 24 to FY 25. On average reduced their county tax burden by 25%. ORANGE COUNTY 56 NORTH CAROLINA 33 Slide #57 Housing Department - page 178 - Based on that cohort, county staff estimated what level of relief FY 26 LHA program would provide at different funding levels. However, staff can't estimate the number of applicants. - The more applicants to the program, the less benefit each household receives. - Board could restrict program rules to 10 years of ownership, to ensure a larger benefit for a smaller base. Would have made 80 applicants in FY 25 ineligible. - Recommended funding levels would be able to absorb tax increases from FY 25 to FY 26 with some ability to absorb an increased cohort.

ORANGE COUNTY 57 NORTH CAROLINA Commissioner Fowler asked if any folks have a lower percentage increase, would they differentiate between the groups. Kirk Vaughn said that if they receive the same proportional benefit, he still included them. He said the proportion of the benefit stays the same. Commissioner Fowler asked for that small group they would only get an additional break. Kirk Vaughn said he was not including changes in how the program was awarded but rather benchmarking. He said they would still have the same rules unless the Board changes them. Commissioner Fowler said for the last one, if they had an increase from 2025-26 they would not just give 38%. Kirk Vaughn said they would only give them to what the tax burden was in 2025. He said that they are the minority and on average there are more people needing more money. Vice-Chair Hamilton said she is concerned about the approach to the program and changing the rules. She said people who would want to apply to the program need consistency. Chair Bedford asked if she would want to change the eligibility to 10 years or keep it at 5 years. Vice-Chair Hamilton said she would keep it at 5 years. Commissioner McKee said he would not want to change the eligibility. He said the changes that this would create would eliminate people that still have a need. He said that some benefit to a larger group is better. He asked if the funding recommended for the program would cause a small increase in the 2.94%. Kirk Vaughn said the value of the penny is $3.3 million. Commissioner McKee stated that it would not make a difference on the tax bill, but it would make a psychological difference. Commissioner Greene said George Barrett of the Jackson Center said there is a rubric which awards more points to people that have been in their homes longer and people who are older. She said he seemed to think it would not make much difference to leave it at five. She said 34 that fixed amount of money that people are applying for. She concurred the rules needed to stay the same. Commissioner Portie-Ascott said she is in favor of helping as many people as possible. Chair Bedford said she submitted an amendment with an estimated figure, but she was happy to see the modeling. She said she thinks they should try to do a budget amendment for the $225,000 because this is a revaluation year. She said that more people are likely to apply this year. She said the County Manager had recommended more in the social justice fund and the difference will be a little tax increase or possibly in fund balance. Travis Myren said that there could be a slight tax rate increase and they can calculate that and bring that back to the Board. Chair Bedford asked for that scenario to be added to the budget amendment website for people to review.

She asked if the $160,623 unallocated funds could be used for that position. Travis Myren said they would not need the full amount for the position. Chair Bedford asked how it happened that there are unallocated funds. Kirk Vaughn said the schedule for the opioid settlement fund was frontloaded. He said they are spending the balance down over the years and this delays the programs from needing a county subsidy. Chair Bedford asked if Commissioner Carter's suggestion means that they would have to add county funding a little earlier. Kirk Vaughn said that coordinator contract was about$90,000, so if that is per year, it may be 2030 or 2031 that they are at the break-even point. Commissioner Fowler asked if there is a training plan for providing services after the opioid funding runs out and encouraged training for staff. Travis Myren said yes.
