MINUTES OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, MONDAY, JUNE 5, 1995 AT 7:00

MINUTES OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, MONDAY, JUNE 5, 1995 AT 7:00 P.M.

Mayor Broun called the meeting to order. Council Members in attendance were Joyce Brown, Joe Capowski, Mark Chilton, Pat Evans, Lee Pavão, Barbara Powell, Jim Protzman and Rosemary Waldorf. Also in attendance were Town Manager Cal Horton, Assistant Town Managers Sonna Loewenthal and Florentine Miller, Finance Director James Baker, Personnel Director Patricia Thomas, Parks & Recreation Director Mike Loveman, Human Services Coordinator Karen Rose and Town Attorney Ralph Karpinos.

Item 1 Petitions

Council Member Protzman requested that staff provide a follow-up report on the status of the Pavilion development project. Mr. Horton said staff would prepare a status report for the Council.

Item 2 Presentation by Human Services Advisory Board

Sarah Kogut, representing the Human Services Advisory Board, presented an overview of the Board's funding recommendations to the Council. She noted that the Board had hoped to be able to submit a budget which would necessitate an overall funding increase. Ms. Kogut stated that despite vigorous efforts by various agencies to take significant austerity measures, the Board was recommending that total human service needs funding be increased from $104,425 to $118,850. She also noted that the Board recommended funding agencies in two new needs categories: (1) services for at-risk youth and (2) substance abuse treatment programs. Ms. Kogut also stated that Board members generally felt that JOCCA should have its budget reviewed separately by the Human Services Advisory Board.

Mayor Broun commended the Board for preparing a very good report, He inquired in what manner, if any, the Board felt that JOCCA was distinguishable from other agencies. Ms. Kogut stated that although it was essential for JOCCA to have an annual maintenance budget for its nutrition program and other activities, this should not be done at the expense of other agencies.

Mayor Broun inquired whether the Board had any comment concerning the Culbreth and Phillips Middle School after school funding program request for $37,000 from the Town. Ms. Kogut stated that the Board felt that the program was an excellent one which was especially needed for at-risk teenagers. She also said the Board felt that the program should be funded through a resource other than the human services allocation process.

Council Member Waldorf inquired whether the Town of Carrboro had been asked to fund a portion of the after school program. Kim Hoke, Assistant to the Chapel Hill-Carrboro School Superintendent, said this request would be presented to the Carrboro Board of Aldermen in the near future. Council Member Powell inquired whether "S.O.S." program funding had been requested. Ms. Hoke said this funding had been requested, but not received because the area's need factors were not as high as many urban areas. Council Member Capowski inquired whether the School District was providing a portion of program funding. Ms. Hoke stated that the district paid approximately $30,000 per year to provide transit services for the program. Council Member Evans asked whether any United Way funds had been sought for the program. Ms. Hoke said such a funding request had been made.

Council Member Waldorf inquired about the level of interaction between the Orange-Chatham Alternative Sentencing Program and similar programs offered by the State of North Carolina. Human Services Coordinator Karen Rose said the program would receive a share of State funding. She added that since these programs were relatively new, there was not much information about long-term success rates in reducing recidivism.

Council Member Evans inquired whether there were alternate funding sources for the Residents Council's programs. Mr. Horton said the Residents Council received funding from several sources including the Comprehensive Grant program, a direct grant from HUD and one other foundation grant. She inquired about approximate total annual funding to the Residents Council. Mr. Horton said funding totalled approximately $100,000.

Mayor Broun inquired about the Council's options. Mr. Horton said the Council adopt the Board's or staff's recommendation for total funding. Mayor Broun inquired whether the Council could establish a contingency for funding the after schools program for future consideration. Mr. Horton said yes, noting that he would recommend further investigation of the after school program if the Council wished to pursue the matter further.

Council Member Chilton stated that with the dissolution of the Violent Crime and Drug Abuse Program, some of the program's responsibilities had been turned over to the Human Services Advisory Board. Council Member Chilton also said he thought the Board's recommendations were fairly good.

COUNCIL MEMBER CHILTON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER CAPOWSKI, TO SET ASIDE $8,000 AS A SEPARATE LINE ITEM TO FUND ONE-HALF OF A JOCCA NUTRITION PROGRAM POSITION AND INCREASE THE OVERALL HUMAN SERVICES ALLOCATION BY AN ADDITIONAL $6,425, AS RECOMMENDED BY THE HUMAN SERVICES ADVISORY BOARD.

Council Member Waldorf inquired whether it was implicit in the proposed motion that the Human Services Advisory Board would not view JOCCA in tandem with other human services funding requests. Council Member Chilton said this was correct, stating that the Board and the Council's JOCCA liaison could carefully scrutinize JOCCA's budget requests outside of the standard process.

Council Member Capowski said he was pleased that the Town was able to provide funding assistance to a number of worthy human service organizations. Council Member Capowski noted that it was becoming increasingly difficult for many agencies to receive federal or state funds. Stating that Orange County should play the lead role in funding human services agencies, Council Member Capowski suggested that future human services funding reports contain information about the percentage of Town resident program clients and the percentage of individual agency funding being requested from the Town and other local government agencies. Mr. Horton noted that the Board and staff attempted to make agreements with agencies which targeted funds to Town residents.

Council Member Powell said it was very important for the Council to have follow-up discussions about the possibility of using the after schools program as a prevention program. Mayor Broun suggested that the Council earmark $37,000 in the budget for a contingency for the after schools program funding request.

Council Member Evans inquired whether the Human Services Advisory Board was aware that the Residents Council had alternate funding sources. Ms. Kogut said yes, noting that the Residents Council was requesting funding for youth programs from the Human Services Board. Council Member Evans inquired whether any of the Residents Council's funding requests were also for youth programs. Mr. Horton stated that the Resident Council's Comprehensive Grant application had a youth program element.

Stating that most federal funding had many stringent program requirements concerning use attached, Council Member Chilton said it seemed reasonable for the Town to provide a small amount of funds with potentially greater flexibility. Council Member Powell expressed her concurrence. Council Member Evans suggest that staff prepare a follow-up report on the Residents Council's program funding sources.

Council Member Brown inquired whether there was a process to notify the Council about programs receiving Town funding which were curtailed. Mr. Horton said the remainder of unspent funds would remain in the General Fund. He added that the Council could be notified if this occurred.

Mayor Broun said he supported Council Member Chilton's motion because it made sense. Noting practical limitations on the amount of Town funds available from year to year, Mayor Broun added that future Councils needed to exercise caution when considering possible overall annual funding increases for human service agencies.

Council Member Chilton said the Human Services Advisory Board had done a very good job of allocating available funds. He suggested that the Council consider establishing a benchmark for total annual

human services funding such as one-half cent on the property tax rate.

Council Member Protzman asked whether Council Member Chilton was proposing that the Council add approximately $14,000 of funding for human service allocations. Council Member Chilton said this was correct, noting that this would leave about $55,000 for other contingencies. Council Member Protzman said he had not been persuaded that JOCCA was unique from other human service agencies in terms of receiving preferential treatment in terms of competing for funds. Council Member Protzman also stated that he did not support having a separate funding review process for JOCCA.

Council Member Pavão inquired whether Council Member Chilton was proposing that the Council review JOCCA's budget individually on an annual basis. Stating that the Town's budget contained a number of individual line items for annual funding of local agencies or organizations, Council Member Chilton said he thought this was the appropriate way to proceed for review of JOCCA's funding requests.

Council Member Pavão inquired whether the same objective could be achieved by not changing the current process for human service agency allocations. Council Member Chilton said no, stating that JOCCA served the less fortunate members of society. He also said JOCCA was distinct from other agencies in a number of different ways.

Mayor Broun said he believed that the major difference which could potentially set JOCCA apart from other agencies was the fact that it was an intergovernmental cooperative agency, dependent on support from a number of governmental units. Council Member Chilton concurred. Council Member Powell urged the Council to change its existing policy concerning review of JOCCA's budget. Council Member Brown said she concurred with the proposed motion.

THE MOTION WAS ADOPTED UNANIMOUSLY (9-0).

Mayor Broun added that there also appeared to be Council consensus about reserving $37,000 for possible funding of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro School District after school program. He also said the Council wished to receive a follow-up staff report about the program. Mr. Horton said staff would report back to the Council as soon as possible on this matter.

Budget-Related Matters

Mayor Broun suggested that Council first receive citizen comment on budget matters.

Martin Feinstein, representing the Parks & Recreation Commission,

requested the Council's continued support of the Parks and Recreation Department's outdoor nature program. He stated that the program could offer some fairly unique physical and educational programs for area residents. Mr. Feinstein stated that the outdoor nature program served many persons who would not otherwise be able to afford these types of activities. Mr. Feinstein also suggested that the Council consider reducing other line item expenditures such as library books and materials in order to fund the outdoor nature program.

Noting that many citizens were critical of a heavy orientation toward team sports, Council Member Capowski inquired how many citizens used the outdoor nature program. Mr. Feinstein said this was very difficult to quantify since the sole half-time staff position had been vacant for a long period of time. Mr. Feinstein also said he felt the program's potential was quite great. Parks and Recreation Director Mike Loveman noted that the outdoor nature program was still very much in the development stage. Council Member Brown asked whether it was correct that most of the outdoor nature programs were not presently in existence. Mr. Loveman stated that a number of programs were planned but had not yet occurred. He also said that a number of other programs had taken place during the past year.

Council Member Pavão inquired how many of the programs listed had been operational in the past. Mr. Loveman stated that the outdoor nature program had previously had a primary focus on adventure-type activities, with an emphasis being placed on trips to facilities outside of the community. He said the proposed new emphasis would be on local programs. Council Member Pavão inquired about the number of program participants when the program was last fully operational. Mr. Loveman said he did not have specific information in this regard. He also said it was likely that the proposed new program would have an increased diversity of participants. Council Member Pavão said he thought the Council had discussed the possible elimination of the outdoor nature program in the past. Mr. Horton said this was correct.

Town employee Bob Langston said the plan to discontinue funding of the outdoor nature program would reduce overall community educational opportunities. Mr. Langston also said he proposed that a greater emphasis be placed on the use of local resources for outdoor nature programs. Mr. Langston also stated that continuation of the outdoor nature program would be money well-spent.

Doug Sessom said he had a long-standing and active interest in parks and recreation programs. Mr. Sessom said he found it ironic that given the Town's emphasis on education and the environment, the Council was considering eliminating its outdoor nature program.

Mr. Sessom said he believed the proposed program was viable and its potential service to a cross-section of citizens should not be short-changed.

Town employee Carl Schaumann stated that he volunteered for a local Explorer Scout post. Mr. Schaumann said the outdoor nature program provided positive outdoor opportunities and programs for teenagers. He expressed concern that if his post lost the sponsorship of the program, it might not be possible to find another sponsor in the Town. Noting the program's non team-oriented emphasis, Mr. Schaumann urged the Council to continue funding of the outdoor nature program.

Carrboro Alderman Hank Anderson said the local chapter of the NAACP, the South Orange Black Caucus, Orange County Greens and the Sierra Club were attempting to develop a reading program for young people which could be incorporated into outdoor nature programming.

Council Member Brown inquired how the reading program could be incorporated into the Town's outdoor nature program. Mr. Langston stated that outdoor nature activities could be combined with visits to the bookmobile to stimulate the interest of youth in reading.

Mayor Broun inquired about the possibility of funding the outdoor nature program on a trial basis. Mr. Horton said this would be possible if the Council were willing to consider some additional budget adjustments. He noted that it was anticipated that the Omni Europa Hotel would generate an additional $20,000 in hotel-motel tax receipts beyond the originally projected figure. Mr. Horton said one option would be for the Council to expend this $20,000 plus $4,000 from the contingency fund in order to fund the outdoor nature program.

Council Member Protzman said another approach would be for the Parks and Recreation Department to examine its budget for possible alternative funding sources. Mr. Horton said this could be done if the Council wished. Council Member Waldorf said she did not see the outdoor nature program as essential to the Town's Parks and Recreation Program.

Noting the importance of providing alternatives to team sports, Mayor Broun said he favored giving the program an opportunity to develop and subsequently be assessed.

Council Member Evans noted that $20,000 had been added to the annual $50,000 greenways allocation, resulting in a total of $70,000 in greenways in the proposed budget. She suggested that

perhaps a portion of these funds could be used for the outdoor nature program. Council Member Chilton said it was not true that the total greenways allocation was $70,000, since $20,000 was earmarked to a non-profit agency. Council Member Evans stated that a portion of the New Hope Corridor greenway was in the Town's jurisdiction.

Council Member Pavão suggested the possibility of continuing the outdoor nature program on a trial basis, with a follow-up evaluation from staff being presented to the Council.

Council Member Capowski suggested that if the Parks and Recreation Department felt strongly about the value of the outdoor nature program, staff should identify program funds in the proposed budget. Council Member Protzman expressed his concurrence.

Council Member Brown noted that a portion of hotel-motel tax revenues were for visitor and cultural services, while the balance went into the Town's General Fund. Mr. Horton said this was correct.

Council Member suggested that the Parks and Recreation Department decide how important it was to continue the outdoor nature program. Mr. Horton suggested that the Parks and Recreation Commission and the Manager make follow-up recommendations to the Council about continuation of the outdoor nature program. Council Member Capowski stated that funding from the program should come from the department's existing budget.

Mayor Broun suggested that the Council consider taking no action on the outdoor nature program this evening, pending reports and recommendations from the Parks and Recreation Commission and the Manager. Mr. Horton stated that it would be necessary to take final action on this matter by July 1st. Mayor Broun said another option would be to continue the outdoor nature program on a trial basis for twelve months. Mr. Horton suggested that a six-month trial period, followed by an assessment based on experience and performance, might place the Council in the best position to evaluate the program's utility. Council Member Protzman suggested that the $12,000 needed to fund the program for six months be taken from the Department's budget. Council Member Protzman also said he did not think it was a good idea for the Council to rapidly earmark newly identified funds as they were identified.

Council Member Waldorf inquired when bids for the Hargraves Gymnasium would be received. Mr. Loveman said the bids could be received following the special use permit and related processes, which could take an estimated fifteen or sixteen months to complete.

Council Member Capowski asked that the Manager and Parks and Recreation Commission provide the Council with a follow-up report on whether or not the Outdoor Nature Program should be funded from the Department's existing budget. Mr. Horton said an alternate approach would be to find $12,000 within the department's proposed budget and continue the program on a six-month experimental basis.

COUNCIL MEMBER CAPOWSKI MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER POWELL,

TO CONTINUE THE OUTDOOR NATURE PROGRAM ON A SIX MONTH TRIAL BASIS, WITH A PROGRAM EVALUATION TO OCCUR NEAR THE END OF THIS PERIOD. THE MOTION WAS ADOPTED UNANIMOUSLY (9-0).

Domestic Partners

Mr. Horton said staff had been successful in arranging for two insurance carriers to provide insurance coverages for domestic partners. He stated that the estimated additional cost for the next fiscal year would be approximately $10,000.

COUNCIL MEMBER CHILTON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER PAVÃO, TO ADOPT ORDINANCE 1. THE MOTION WAS ADOPTED UNANIMOUSLY (9-0).

AN ORDINANCE TO REVISE CHAPTER 14 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE TOWN OF CHAPEL HILL (95-6-5/O-1)

SECTION 1

BE IT ORDAINED by the Council of the Town of Chapel Hill that Chapter 14, Personnel Rules and Regulations, Code of Ordinances as follows:

SECTION 2

This ordinance shall be effective September 1, 1995.

This the 5th day of June, 1995.

Downtown Service District & Related Matters

Mr. Horton reviewed his recommendations, noting that he recommended the deletion of trolley service and the continuation of negotiations with the Downtown Commission about specific services to be provided. He also noted that the Orange County Visitors Bureau might be able to assist the Downtown Commission with marketing assistance.

Robert Humphreys, Executive Director of the Downtown Commission, said the Commission concurred with the Manager's recommendation.

He stated that services provided by the Commission benefitted the entire community. Mr. Humphreys said he hoped that all Downtown Service District tax funds would be used in the downtown service district. Mr. Horton said statutes specified that funds must be expended in the district.

COUNCIL MEMBER PAVÃO MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER EVANS, TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 1.

Council Member Protzman inquired whether private residences within the Downtown Service District had to pay a portion of the District tax. Mr. Horton said private residences had been excluded from the district in the past. Council Member Protzman inquired whether it was correct that there was no incremental tax on private residences in the District. Mr. Horton said this was correct.

RESOLUTION 1 WAS ADOPTED UNANIMOUSLY (9-0).

A RESOLUTION REGARDING THE DOWNTOWN SERVICE DISTRICT AND RELATED MATTERS (95-6-5/R-1)

BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Chapel Hill that the Council hereby:

1. Amends the service plan for the Downtown Service District as follows:

Delete the section on downtown trolley service

2. Adds to the Downtown Service District effective on July 1, 1995, the portion of the property at 314 West Rosemary Street (Orange County Tax Map reference 7.85.L.18) which is in the Town Center-2 zoning district.

3. Authorizes the Manager to negotiate with the Downtown Commission and Chapel Hill-Orange County Visitors' Bureau proposed performance agreement(s) for marketing and promotion of the downtown area in 1995-96, and related services, with funding of up to $40,000 in Downtown Service District taxes; to develop a performance agreement through discussion with the Commission, Visitors' Bureau and other interested parties; and to submit a proposed agreement to the Council for consideration.

This the 5th day of June, 1995.

Recommended Budget Ordinance

Mr. Horton presented an overview of the proposed budget ordinance and related adjustments previously approved by Council consensus.

COUNCIL MEMBER CHILTON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER PAVÃO, TO ADOPT ORDINANCE 2.

Council Member Brown inquired whether the Landfill Owners Group (LOG) had discussed the possible creation of the proposed Solid Waste Management Department. Council Member Chilton said he did not believe the LOG had reviewed this matter in detail. Stating that the LOG was a three-party partnership, Council Member Brown said she thought it was important to include the LOG in all solid waste decisions. Mr. Horton said based on Council discussions, staff had made several revisions about reorganization in the proposed budget, including formation of the new Solid Management Department. He noted that it would be quite difficult to change these arrangements so late in the budget development process. Council Member Brown said her main concern was exhibiting goodwill to the Town's two LOG partners. Mr. Horton also said he thought there had been some discussion at LOG meetings of the proposed reorganization of the Town's solid waste operations. Council Member Chilton said he believed there had been some formal communication to the LOG on this matter.

Mr. Horton said if the Council wished, it was possible to set aside the budget proposal and reestablish departments in their prior configurations. Council Member Brown said she was concerned about making sure the LOG partnership was on good ground. Council Member Brown stated that it was essential to keep the Town's LOG partners fully informed. Mr. Horton noted that he had informed the Carrboro Town Manager and the Orange County Manager as soon as practical about the proposed organizational changes.

ORDINANCE 2 WAS ADOPTED UNANIMOUSLY (9-0).

Pay and Position Classification Plans

Mr. Horton said he recommended Council adoption of Ordinances 3 and 4, with the Outdoor Nature Specialist position being added on an experimental basis for six months of the fiscal year.

Council Member Evans inquired whether the Town had contributed 5% to the 401-(k) program for part-time employees since its inception.

Ms. Thomas said this was correct. Council Member Evans asked whether contract employees received benefits. Ms. Thomas said as required by law, the Town paid worker's compensation and social security for contract workers.

COUNCIL MEMBER CHILTON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER WALDORF, TO ADOPT ORDINANCE 3.

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.

This the 5th day of June, 1995.
