~o/y~93 <br />9 <br />these figures. <br />Commissioner Halkiotis stated that the County needs to continue with <br />educating the citizens. <br />Commissioner Insko asked fora report after one year on the systems <br />which have been inspected and the fees charged. <br />John Link indicated that yet to be resolved is when the Board wants <br />the program to start and if they want the fee to cover all costs or if they <br />want to start with a threshold-and then increase the cost to that incurred. <br />Commissioners Gordon and Insko will meet with John Link to answer <br />these and other questions. <br />Commissioner Willhoit feels that full cost should be recovered. He <br />feels the emphasis should be on whether or not the service is needed to protect <br />the health of the citizens of Orange County and-how often it is needed. <br />VIII. ITEMS FOR DECISION -.REGULAR AGENDA <br />A. SWIMMING POOL FINANCING <br />John Link stated that the agenda abstract includes the response to <br />the questions the County Commissioners had at the last meet. It also includes <br />the action the Board would need to take should they decide to pursue the <br />proposal to finance the pool based on the proposal presented by TYHA. If the <br />Board approves the resolution they are making a commitment to contribute-$4 <br />million over a 10 year period to TYHA. - He noted that the Chapel Hill YMCA <br />would not be able to participate in the capital financing of a pool but they <br />did express an interest in being the management entity of the swimming pool. <br />In answer to a question from Commissioner Gordon, John Link <br />indicated that $7.5 million of the sales tax revenues is for identified capital <br />projects. There will be an estimated $8.3 million for other large expenses <br />that have yet to be identified. On the school project side there-is a deficit <br />of $17 million. <br />Commissioner Gordon feels the County cannot afford this facility. <br />The $400, 000 impact may mean that the County would have to raise taxes for <br />other projects which could be funded by this $4 million. She feels this is a <br />stronger proposal than what was previous submitted. The problem she has is <br />with the structural way this is financed. The groups managing this facility <br />have no collateral and the groups with the money -- the County and the <br />investors -- are not managing the facility. With regard to the policies for <br />running the facility, it seems to be a mistake to just limit it to the pool <br />because it is now a community pool and she is concerned that the ice rink may <br />be mostly for young males. She is concerned that people of all ages can use <br />the facility as well as both genders. Her other concern is that the contract <br />did not mention anything about the Board of Directors. <br />Commissioner Insko would like to include the other jurisdictions in <br />this discussion and in any furture discussions. This facility will serve a <br />large number from the southern part of the County and will serve people within <br />the municipalities. With regard to the Board of Directors, she suggested that <br />in addition to representatives from the County, they allow for representatives <br />from the municipalities. There is still the issue of determining what is <br />Orange County's fair share to provide recreational services to people who live <br />within the municipalities. <br />Dan Kidd stated that if this resolution is approved, they will <br />continue to involve the Recreation and Parks Department and others throughout <br />
