PURPOSE: To report on previously discussed FY 2009-19 recommended County Capital
Investment Plan (CIP) items.
BACKGROUND: On November 13, 2008, Commissioners held a CIP work session and requested
staff to provide additional information on a number of items. Items "flagged" by the Board include:
Fla ed Items Staff Anal sis/Recommendation
• FY 2009-10 Recommendation - use
$275,000 of the $850,000 allocated to the
Link Center project to fund the farmstead
stabilization projects at Blackwood Farm at
New Hope Park and Millhouse Road Park
o Note -Recommended funding for Link
Center Renovations project occurs over
two years, FY 2009-10 and FY 2010-11
• FY 2010-11 Recommendation -Replenish
monies borrowed from Link Center in FY
Identify funding alternatives in FY 2009-10 2009-10 by postponing FY 2010-11 funding
for stabilization of farmstead structures at allocation for Courts and Detention Future
Blackwood Farm at New Hope Park and Needs Project for one year
Millhouse Road Park o Note: Intended use of monies
recommended for Courts and Detention
Future Needs Project is planning and
design of future facility needs.
Postponement of funding for one year will
not be detrimental to the project as a
whole.
• This recommendation avoids redirecting
2001 bond monies originally intended for
Twin Creeks to Blackwood Farm and
Millhouse Road Park

funding central permitting soon
In addition, speakers at the November 18, 2008 public hearing urged Commissioners to fund the
following items:
• Synthetic turf at Cedar Falls Park and Smith Middle School
• Additions to Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools Carrboro High School
• Lake Orange automatic valve controls (Note: Recommended CIP includes funding in FY
2009-10 to install these controls)
• Continued funding of Conservation Easement and Lands Legacy projects
It is important to-note the County's Capital Investment Plan (CIP) is a comprehensive multi-year plan
for investing in future County and Schools' capital needs in a strategic, "big picture" manner. The
CIP is considered a "living plan", meaning that each year, staff and the Board can reassess needs
identified in the previous year's plan to determine if future needs remain the same as those outlined
in previously approved plans. If needs and priorities change from year-to-year, the Board can make
appropriate revisions to previously adopted/approved plans to accommodate new priorities and
projects.
Decision points for the Board's consideration on December 11 will include:
Whether to implement a 1-cent tax rate increase, effective July 1, 2009, to fund county
facilities capital maintenance
• Consideration of recommended funding alternative for stabilization of buildings at Blackwood
Farm at New Hope Park and Millhouse Road Park (see first item in chart on page 2 of this
agenda abstract)
• Whether to appropriate $1.2 million in Emergency Service Reserve for Emergency Services
needs or to retain monies in reserve pending outcome of upcoming Fire and Rescue Study
• Timeline for completing Link Center Renovations
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Financial impacts are included in the FY 2009-19 CIP and attachments to this
agenda item.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board of County Commissioners receive
this report regarding the FY 2009-19 Recommended County Capital Investment Plan (CIP) follow up
items.

Brenda Stephens, Director,. 245-2528
PURPOSE: To present the 2007 Library Services Task Force Report Executive Summary
outlining its recommendations, afollow-up report highlighting gaps and needs of the Library
Services Standards for Orange County, and a facility needs update from the 2004 Library
Services Task~Force.
BACKGROUND: In January 2007, the BOCC formally re-convened a Library Services Task
Force and provided it with the following charge:
• Review the report and recommendations of the Carrboro Library Workgroup (April 20,
2004); .
• Review the report and recommendations of the Library Services Task Force report of
October 19, 2004 as they specifically relate to a "southwest regional branch library
combining the collections, staff, and services presently located at McDougle Middle
School and the Century Center Cybrary";
o Prepare and present to the BOCC a report which addresses in conjunction with Orange
County management, the following concerns and considerations expressed by elected
and community leaders: Recommended Facility Size, Time Horizon for Facility
Construction, funding Facility Construction.
e Report its recommendations ~to the BOCC for action in, context of capital investment
program planning.
At the December 3, 2007 BOCC meeting, the Library Service Standards, which are attached,
and a Capital & Operational Needs Request were presented to the Board of County
Commissioners for acceptance. The information.was accepted by the BOCC, but the Service
Standards were not.formally adopted at that time.
to
The professionally trained librarians on the Task Force, directed by the BOCC and Task Force
at large, have created a Matrix, which is attached, of Library Standards identifying those Orange
County libraries that meet the standard or the financial impact of achieving the standard.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is rio immediate financial impact•to receiving this Executive
Summary and Attachments. These documents identify specific'funding initiatives for the CIP for
Library Services in Orange County. The BOCC would ultimately need to discuss and determine
the overall magnitude and relative priority of these future capital project proposals and
associated impacts on program operations and facility maintenance. The Library currently holds
in trust approximately $129,000 that can be used as a capital contribution towards a proposed
Heritage Center. Additionally, the current Library budget contains $10,000, earmarked to
engage an outside consultant to explore interoperability among all Orange County Libraries.
These funds can be used to address the 2000 Task Force recommendation to' conduct a cost-
benefit study of implementing acounty-wide, jointly-operated, technology-system.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board:
1. Accept the Library Service Standards and Facilities Needs Matrix developed by 2007
Library Services Task Force; and
2. Direct County and Library management to begin discussions with the Town of Chapel Hill
for a consolidated county-wide library system.
Library Services Task Force
Executive Summary
To the Commissioners:
Thank you for your financial support and guidance for the series of studies on libraries
and services in Orange County beginning with the Task Force of 2002, the Task Force of
2004, the Carrboro Study Group, and the most recent Task Force of 2007. These local
studies are combined with four recent national studies described below to form the
knowledge base for comprehensive library service for the county.
A national survey of public attitudes toward libraries reported that the American
people see libraries as political solutions to many pressing community problems,
such as universal access to computers and a safe place for teens. Libraries have
high credibility; they are given the highest grade of any community institution.
They perform an essential service in a trustworthy•manner; local libraries use
money well. The general public values libraries as a safe central community
gathering location. The public believes libraries should provide traditional
services, such as books for children, reference materials, knowledgeable and
friendly librarians as well as 215 century services like computers and online
services.l
• A national survey funded by the Institute for Museum and Library Services
concluded that libraries evoke consistent, extraordinary public trust among
diverse adult users, that the public benefits from the presence of libraries on the
Internet, that available information inspires the search for more information, and
that Internet use is positively related to in-person visits to libraries?
• A 2007 survey by the Pew Internet & American Life Project reports that libraries
drew visits from more than half the American population last year for a variety of
purposes. Young adults were found to be the heaviest users of libraries for
problem-solving purposes and other reasons.3
• Two additional recent reports calculated taxpayer return on investment in Florida
and Pennsylvania public libraries respectively. These studies used public library
annual reports to the State Library, a statewide household telephone survey of
adults, in-library surveys of adults, surveys of organizations and aninput-output

econometric model. The conclusion is that all taxpayers benefit from public
libraries through their contribution to education, the economy, tourism,
retirement, and quality of life. Overall Florida's public libraries return $6.54 for
every $1.00 invested from all sources; the Pennsylvania ROI in public libraries is .
5.5 to l.as
We used this knowledge base to develop three principles as the basis of our
recommendations for library service in Orange County:
1. a regional approach
2. collaborative county-wide planning
3. a 3-5 year plan to address immediate needs.
Using the first principle, we recommend that the county adopt a regional approach to
library service: This translates to main libraries in Hillsborough and Chapel Hill and
geographically located branches elsewhere, plus a Heritage Center in Hillsborough. • Your
acceptance of the attached facility requirements and the capital investment in the new
main library building are steps in the fulfillment of this recommendation. The next step
would be consolidation of the two small Carrboro facilities in a Southwest Branch,
followed by aNorth/West expansion of the Northern Branch in Cedar Grove and the
establishment of a West County Branch in Efland. Please see attachment (1) for a chart
comparing where we are now to the recommendations of the 4-year-old 2004 facilities
plan.
The second principle is continued growth in collaborative county-fvide planning. The
planning process underlying the several task forces has fostered a cooperative approach.
The acceptance of a county library standard moves us forward on this goal. Attachment
(Z) shows. what has been accomplished and what remains to be done in the achievement
of this standard. Future initiatives, such as courier service among all the libraries and
interoperability of online public access catalogs, for example, are possible next steps. We
recommend that the county investigate the advantages and disadvantages of a jointly
operated technical support system using a common online public access catalog (OPAC)
by engaging an expert to conduct a study of costs and alternatives. .
The third principle we recommend is the development of a 3-S year plan to address
itntnediate needs. We recommend ongoing reviews of progress and plans using the two
attached standards for facilities and services with consideration for changes in technology
and current best practices, and information reports to the county commissioners.

To summary, the immediate next steps that we recommend are the following:
1. The establislment of tlae Heritage Center and the construction of a
Southwest library bra~:cli. Tl:is sl:ordd be followed as soo~z as possible by a
North/West expansion of the Northern Branch in Cedar Grove and the
establishment of a West County Branch in Efland.
2. A str~dy of the advantages and disadvantages of a county-wide jointly
operated technical support system. Other mechanisms for collaborative
activities between the County library system and the Chapel Hill library
should continue to be explored.
3. Ongoing reviews of progress toward meeting library facilities
recommendations and service standards.

Impact Statement of Postponing Central Permitting Technology Initiative
The Planning and Information Technologies Departments have collaborated on the
following statement regarding the postponement of the Central Permitting
Technology Initiative:
While the increased reliance on Permits Plus is an interim solution, we feel in the
interest of meeting urgent needs with limited resources, it is the most expedient
path to pursue in achieving the desired synergies. We anticipate the long term
solution will rely on a technology that meets long term strategic goals. We will
work to implement this tactical solution with a eye toward that strategic goal.
