l MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING OF THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, MONDAY, JUNE 6, 1994 AT 7:30 P.M.

Mayor Broun called the meeting to order.  Council Members in attendance were Joyce Brown, Joe Capowski, Mark Chilton, Pat Evans, Barbara Powell, Jim Protzman and Rosemary Waldorf.  Council Member Lee Pavão was absent excused.  Also in attendance were Town Manager Cal Horton, Assistant Town Managers Sonna Loewenthal and Florentine Miller, Finance Director James Baker, Personnel Director Pat Thomas, Parks and Recreation Director Mike Loveman, Planning Director Roger Waldon and Town Attorney Ralph Karpinos.

Mayor Broun called upon Ken Davis, representing the First Baptist Church, to accept a proclamation recognizing June 11th as Youth Day in Chapel Hill.  Mr. Davis accepted the proclamation and expressed appreciation for the Council's recognition.

                           Petitions

Ellen Perry expressed concern that individuals and families with lower incomes would be unable to afford increased bus pass prices.  Ms. Perry said she welcomed the Council's suggestions on how poor people might be able to afford the higher proposed pass rates.  Mayor Broun asked whether the Town had any financial assistance provisions for bus passes.  Mr. Horton said he was not immediately aware of any such provision.  Mayor Broun noted that the original proposal was to increase bus fares and pass prices.  Council Member Capowski inquired whether E-Z Rider patrons received fare or pass reductions.  Mr. Horton said there was no current provision for reduced E-Z Rider fares.

Berkeley Grimball of Grimball-Stokes Jewelers, said merchants in the West Franklin Street area were not willing to take the risk of losing business and money for up to eighteen weeks as a result of the proposed streetscape pilot project.  Stating that small businesses added to the uniqueness of the downtown area, Mr. Grimball requested that the Council take actions to nurture small business.  Mayor Broun asked whether area merchants would find a 6 to 8 week project acceptable.  Mr. Grimball said a 4 to 6 week project would be a lot easier to accommodate.  Mayor Broun requested that the staff's follow-up report contain information on the proposed project timeframe.  Mr. Horton said staff would provide this information.

Bob Bacon said all merchants on West Franklin Street, with the exception of Ham's Restaurant, were independent merchants.  He stated that requesting merchants to disrupt their businesses for eight to twelve weeks for completion of the streetscape project was a major problem.  Mr. Bacon noted that many visitors to West Franklin Street remarked about its unique character.  He stated that there was no need for a streetscape project on West Franklin Street.

Mr. Horton noted that page 45 of the materials before the Council contained a provision for full or partial waivers of transit fees by the Town's Transportation Director.  Mayor Broun requested a follow-up report from staff on whether the waivers were being used, especially for E-Z Rider patrons and bus riders in general.

                     Budget-Related Items

Mr. Horton briefly reviewed changes to the proposed budget ordinance, based on previous direction by the Council.  He also noted that the Council was being asked to consider ordinances for proposed pay and classification plans, a resolution concerning user fees and resolutions about transit funds and grants, the proposed 1994-1999 Capital Improvements Program and community development funds.

Noting that all three entities were required to adopted the proposed landfill budget, Council Member Brown inquired how this process would be handled.  Mr. Horton said he recommended that the Council vote on the overall landfill budget and related tipping fees this evening.  He added that expenditures and budgets could be adjusted accordingly if the proposed tip fees were not approved by Orange County and the Town of Carrboro.  Council Member Brown stated that the landfill tipping fee proposed by the Town was less than that initially proposed by the Landfill Owners Group while the solid waste management study's consultant fee was higher than anticipated.  She emphasized the importance of maintaining equity and a good working relationship with other local government entities relative to the landfill budget and other matters.  Stating that $117,000 had been budgeted for the solid waste consultant study, Council Member Brown said all three governmental entities needed to discuss the higher than anticipated fee of approximately $195,000.  Mayor Broun said the Council had previously discussed the matter and had voted 7-2 to approve funding of the proposed study.  Mayor Broun added that he had spoken to Carrboro Mayor Kinnaird about the Council's position on the matter.

Council Member Waldorf asked when the Orange County Commissioners would vote on the proposed consultant study.  Mr. Horton said the Commissioners would vote on the proposed landfill tipping fee but not the consultant study.  Council Member Chilton noted that all three representatives on the Landfill Owners Group had voted in favor of the expenditure for the consultant study.  Council Member Chilton added that he could reintroduce the matter at a future Landfill Owners Group meeting.  Council Member Brown said it was a good time to discuss the monetary and equity roles related to the Landfill Owners Group.  Noting that the matter had been previously discussed and voted on, Mayor Broun inquired what had changed since this time.  Council Member Brown said the Town of Carrboro Board of Alderman and Orange County Commissioners did not vote on the amount budgeted for the study consultant.  Council Member Brown said she wished to emphasize the importance of working with other governing bodies in a fair and equitable manner.

Council Member Protzman said upon reflection, he had concluded that the Council had arrived at the right decision by moving ahead with the study.  Council Member Waldorf said the study was important and needed to be done in order to develop a 20-25 year long-range community solid waste plan.  She suggested that staff from all three governing bodies could possibly review the proposed landfill budget.

Mayor Broun said he thought there had been an initial misunderstanding about the proposed study.  Mayor Broun also said that part of the reason the proposed study cost so much was the amount of proposed public participation.  He emphasized the need to move on with the process which had been recently initiated.

Council Member Brown said she had spoken to the Chair of the Parks and Recreation Commission about the possibility of not taking any action concerning senior swimming discounts until the Commission made a recommendation on the matter.  Mr. Horton said the present pool fees had been adopted by the Council last year.  He said staff proposed continuation of the current fees until the Council received a recommendation from the Parks and Recreation Commission.  He stated that any revised fee could be made retroactive to July 1st if the Council wished.

COUNCIL MEMBER WALDORF MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER PROTZMAN, TO ADOPT ORDINANCE 1.  THE MOTION WAS ADOPTED UNANIMOUSLY (8-0).

*Permanent classifications or other titles may be used for contract positions on a temporary basis, as approved by the Manager.  Also, number of positions and the hours may vary; however, estimates are given.

                           SECTION V

                      GENERAL PROVISIONS

All Town employees shall be paid bi-weekly or weekly.  The Finance Director shall issue warrants for payments of all claim for compensation when approved by the Town Manager and within the appropriation, and shall issue warrants bi-weekly for payments of compensation of members of the Council and the Mayor upon certification of the correctness of the amounts.

                          SECTION VI

                     OVERTIME COMPENSATION

To the extent that local government jurisdictions are so required, the Town will comply with the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

The Manager, following FLSA regulations, shall determine which jobs are "non-exempt" and are therefore subject to the Act in areas such as hours of work and work periods, rates of overtime compensation, and other provisions.  Non-exempt employees will be  paid at a straight time rate for hours up to the FLSA established limit for their position (usually 40 hours in a 7 day period); hours worked beyond the FLSA established limit will be paid at the appropriate overtime rate.  In determining eligibility for overtime in a work period, only hours actually worked shall be considered.

Whenever practicable, departments will schedule time off on an hour-for-hour basis within the applicable work period for non-exempt employees, instead of paying over-time.  When time off within the work period cannot be granted, overtime worked will be paid in accordance with the Fair Labor Standards Act.  However, in accordance with FLSA and when approved in advance by the Manager, non-exempt employees may be allowed to accrue compensatory time in lieu of being paid overtime.  This compensatory time must be accrued as an hour-and-a-half off for every hour of overtime worked.

Employees in positions determined to be "exempt" from the Fair Labor Standards Act (as Executive, Administrative, or Professional staff) will not receive pay for hours worked in excess of their normal work periods.  These employees may be granted compensatory leave by their department heads where the convenience of the department allows.

                          SECTION VII

                         CALLBACK PAY

Employees in classes eligible for overtime compensation whose supervisors require them, because of emergencies, to report to work at times which are not merely an extension of their normal work days will be paid for a minimum of two hours of work, even if their actual work time was shorter.  Extensions of employees' normal work days, either by their being required to report early or by their being required to work beyond their normal quitting times, shall be covered by the over-time/compensatory leave provisions of Section VI of this ordinance.

                         SECTION VIII

                         LONGEVITY PAY

The Town will recognize the length of service of its full-time employees with a longevity payment, effective in December.  Payment shall be based on the following schedule:

At least 5 years, not more than 10 years of service  -- $400

At least 10 years, not more than 15 years of service -- $550

                           SECTION V

                      GENERAL PROVISIONS

All Town employees shall be paid bi-weekly or weekly.  The Finance Director shall issue warrants for payments of all claim for compensation when approved by the Town Manager and within the appropriation, and shall issue warrants bi-weekly for payments of compensation of members of the Council and the Mayor upon certification of the correctness of the amounts.

                          SECTION VI

                     OVERTIME COMPENSATION

To the extent that local government jurisdictions are so required, the Town will comply with the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

The Manager, following FLSA regulations, shall determine which jobs are "non-exempt" and are therefore subject to the Act in areas such as hours of work and work periods, rates of overtime compensation, and other provisions.  Non-exempt employees will be  paid at a straight time rate for hours up to the FLSA established limit for their position (usually 40 hours in a 7 day period); hours worked beyond the FLSA established limit will be paid at the appropriate overtime rate.  In determining eligibility for overtime in a work period, only hours actually worked shall be considered.

Whenever practicable, departments will schedule time off on an hour-for-hour basis within the applicable work period for non-exempt employees, instead of paying over-time.  When time off within the work period cannot be granted, overtime worked will be paid in accordance with the Fair Labor Standards Act.  However, in accordance with FLSA and when approved in advance by the Manager, non-exempt employees may be allowed to accrue compensatory time in lieu of being paid overtime.  This compensatory time must be accrued as an hour-and-a-half off for every hour of overtime worked.

Employees in positions determined to be "exempt" from the Fair Labor Standards Act (as Executive, Administrative, or Professional staff) will not receive pay for hours worked in excess of their normal work periods.  These employees may be granted compensatory leave by their department heads where the convenience of the department allows.

                          SECTION VII

                         CALLBACK PAY

Employees in classes eligible for overtime compensation whose supervisors require them, because of emergencies, to report to work at times which are not merely an extension of their normal work days will be paid for a minimum of two hours of work, even if their actual work time was shorter.  Extensions of employees' normal work days, either by their being required to report early or by their being required to work beyond their normal quitting times, shall be covered by the over-time/compensatory leave provisions of Section VI of this ordinance.

                         SECTION VIII

                         LONGEVITY PAY

The Town will recognize the length of service of its full-time employees with a longevity payment, effective in December.  Payment shall be based on the following schedule:

At least 5 years, not more than 10 years of service  -- $400

At least 10 years, not more than 15 years of service -- $550

At least 15 years, not more than 20 years of service -- $700

At least 20 or more years of service               -- $850

Part-time employees' payments will be prorated based on their hours of work, as specified in policies approved by the Manager.

An employee's eligibility for longevity pay will be based on his/her total Town service as of December 1 of each year.

                          SECTION IX

                        401(K) PROGRAM

The Town will contribute 5% of gross salary for all permanent full- and part-time employees to an account with the State of North Carolina's 401(K) (tax deferred savings) program.

           Additional Budget-Related Discussions

Council Member Brown said that many things needed to occur sooner in the Town's budget process.  She also said that many communities around the nation had changed their refuse collection systems.  Council Member Brown suggested that staff prepare a report on possible changes to the Town's refuse collection system.  Noting that she had previously distributed an article to the Council about hybrid fee systems, Council Member Brown also emphasized the importance of having an equitable system.

Council Member Brown requested that staff provide a report on impact fee-type alternatives.  She also suggested that the Council consider drafting an impact tax proposal and land transfer tax possibilities for the next long session of the State General Assembly.  Council Member Brown also suggested an examination of restructuring the Town government from the standpoint of saving money.  She suggested that the Institute of Government or North Carolina league of Municipalities might be able to assist in this endeavor.  Council Member Brown said Council Members or citizens appointed by the Council might examine the Town budget in detail for possible efficiencies.

Council Member Capowski said he had been delighted to vote for the proposed budget, including rewarding Town employees with a significant pay increase for a job well done.  He also expressed thanks to Mayor Broun, Town Manager Horton and Finance Director Baker for their guidance and leadership throughout the budget process.  Council Member Capowski stated that the Town was in good fiscal condition.  He also said the Council would be well-served by examining the options relative to impact fees.  Council Member Capowski said the Council would have some very large decisions during the next fiscal year including the Meadowmont and Lowe's development proposals and the method of Town refuse collection.

Council Member Capowski said the Council needed a better way to make budget decisions since he believed that too many decisions were made in a vacuum.  He also suggested cablecasting future budget work sessions so that citizens could see how their tax dollars would be expended.  Council Member Capowski also said the Council needed to rethink how it allocated funds to local organizations and work with neighboring governments on mutual budget challenges such as library and fire protection funding.  He also suggested a Council discussion of the appropriate level of Town promotion, especially the downtown area, on the occasion of its bicentennial celebration.

Council Member Powell said the Town had had a very good year.  Council Member Powell also said she supported growth paying for itself by use of impact fee type mechanisms.  She expressed hope that the Council would further investigate these possibilities and increase the percentage of the hotel-motel tax through General Assembly authorization.  Council Member Powell also emphasized the need to reexamine the allocation of funds to human service and visitor and cultural organizations.

Council Member Evans said she concurred with Council Member Powell about the need to look at equitable ways to use hotel-motel tax funds.  She also noted the need to examine restructuring of Town government for the possibility of greater operating efficiencies.

Council Member Evans stated that one possibility would be privatizing the Town's parking facilities.  She added that other Town services might merit investigation for the possibility of privatization.

Council Member Brown noted that the Council had received a good report from staff about impact taxes and fees earlier in the year. Noting that the Town had authorization to levy impact fees,  she suggested that the Town explore the possibility of receiving authorization for impact and land transfer taxes from the General Assembly.

Council Member Waldorf said the possibility of privatizing parking merit further exploration.   Council Member Waldorf also said she was willing to explore the question of whether the Town, Town of Carrboro and Orange County could work more closely together on its recreation programs to achieve greater efficiencies and cost-effectiveness.  She suggested that one of the most important objectives was to have cooperative planning of future recreation, greenways and transportation facilities, with an emphasis on greater funding equity.  Council Member Waldorf also said she was glad to see that the Town of Carrboro's and the Town's Parks and Recreation Commissions would be holding a joint meeting in the near future.

Council Member Brown suggested that local governing bodies could also explore the possibility of having a joint purchasing agent to possibly realize an economy of scale from joint purchases.

Mayor Broun said he thought Council Member Waldorf's proposal concerning was a very good one.  He noted that the Financial Futures Task Force, a blue ribbon committee headed by Jack Evans, had examined the Town's budget processes and found them to be fundamentally sound.  Mayor Broun requested that a copy of the Task Force's report be redistributed to the Council.  He said a key lesson from the expert panel was the importance of concentrating on big-ticket items.  Mayor Broun said he did not think another committee was needed to examine the possibility of privatizing some Town services such as parking.

Council Member Powell said she believed that some coordination of parks and recreation programs was currently occurring between the Town of Carrboro and the Town.  Mr. Horton said this was correct.  Council Member Waldorf said she had funding and equity concerns relative to administrative staffing of the three recreation programs in Orange County.  Citing the future Southern Community Park, she inquired rhetorically whether the Town was going to pay for and develop a park which was surrounded by Orange County and the Town of Carrboro.  She emphasized the importance of good long-range recreation programming.

Council Member Evans said she strongly supported Council Member Pavão's and Waldorf's efforts to investigate possible recreation program efficiencies.  Council Member Powell inquired about the Parks and Recreation Department's role in the plan.  Council Member Waldorf said her proposal was an idea, rather than a plan.  She said if a preliminary study found the proposal to be workable, the idea would be presented to the Manager and Parks and Recreation Department for further development.

Council Member Protzman said he thought Council Member Waldorf's idea was a good one.  Council Member Protzman also said he had been very pleased with the overall budget process.  Council Member Protzman said the solid waste study consultant could provide a sufficiently expeditious answer to the Council's questions about the possibility of a "pay as you throw" refuse collection system.

Noting that age was not necessarily the best criterion for establishing discounts, Council Member Protzman said there were some basic inequities relative to senior swimming discounts which merit further investigation.

Council Member Brown inquired whether other Council Members supported the staff preparing a report on refuse collection systems prior to preparation of the Town's next budget.  Council Member Waldorf said although she supported Council Member Brown's general concept, she did not think staff needed to prepare a report in light of the proposed consultant's study.  Council Member Brown said it was important for the Council to have a process in place to move forward on solid waste collection matters during the 1995-96 Town budget process.  Mr. Horton said he would need to inquire about how the timeframe for the waste collection element of the consultant's study might be moved up.

Council Member Brown said the Institute of Government or North Carolina League of Municipalities might have resources to examine a possible restructuring of the Town's management structure.

Council Member Waldorf suggested that the Council consider having a discussion about the Town services catalogue recently compiled by staff.  Stating that restructuring and provision of services were somewhat different, Council Member Brown suggested that the two topics could be examined separately.

Council Member Protzman said he believed it would be wise to look at personnel within the context of the service catalogue, possibly reviewing the latter by individual line item.  Mayor Broun said the Council could have a work session on the matter in August.  Mayor Broun also said he did not know necessarily agree with the need to examine services by individual line item.  He stated that the Manager and Town staff needed to be actively involved in the discussions, with the possible need for outside assistance in the future.

Council Member Brown encouraged Council Members to start thinking about which Town services might be restructured, including combining Town departments.  She said one example would be having solid waste as a countywide, rather than a Town, function.  Council Member Brown said the North Carolina League of Municipalities or Institute of Government could possibly provide additional insight on this option.  Council Member Protzman said he thought it made a lot of sense to examine this possibility and other restructuring possibilities.  Council Member Evans said the consultant's solid waste might address this matter. Stating that government was a service industry, Council Member Evans said Town management needed to examine the services being provided to its customers, the Town's residents and visitors.

Mayor Broun suggested that the Council hold a work session in August, including an item to review the Town's service catalogue and specific related items from Council Members.  Council Member Waldorf said the Council could explore economies of scale and possible internal and external program changes.

Stating that the Horace Williams tract would likely be developed during the next twenty years, Council Member Capowski said the Council needed to understand the economic implications of this proposal, especially in terms of what properties could and could not be taxed.  Mr. Horton said the Town could not tax University properties.  Noting that the University's plans for the Horace Williams and Mason Farm tracts were of great interest to the community, Mr. Horton said staff could provide more complete information once proposed land uses for the tracts were disclosed.

Council Member Capowski emphasized the importance of representing the Town's financial point of view in the matter.

Noting that the Council had touched on a number of items this evening, Council Member Brown inquired what reports had been requested from staff.  Stating that there had been relatively few consensus requested reports, Mr. Horton said it would be helpful to get a suggested timeframe on specific follow-up reports.  Mayor Broun said the Council had agreed to hold a work session in the late summer or early fall on the Town services catalogue.  He also noted that Council Members Pavão and Waldorf had agreed to explore possibilities for combining recreation facilities and programs in Orange County.  Mayor Broun said the Council had also requested that the report of the Financial Futures Task Force be redistributed and that the Council further discuss options for possible privatization of some Town services.

Council Member Brown requested a report from staff on whether the League of Municipalities' and Institute of Government's services would be free or of a nominal nature.  Council Member Brown also suggested that the Council explore the possibility of attaining special enabling legislation relative to a development impact or land transfer tax.  Stating that he was also interested in this possibility, Mayor Broun noted that staff was trying to plan a breakfast meeting on Monday, June 20th to discuss the Town's legislative-related matters.  Council Member Waldorf noted that the Town might be in competition with Orange County relative to some proposed development-related fees and taxes.

The meeting concluded at 9:07 p.m.
