3 <br />Durham County was funded and Orange County was not funded. The Board <br />decided that the question of funding the middle school program will be <br />added to the agenda for the work session with the schools. Additional <br />information will be provided to the Board of County Commissioners <br />before that work session. <br />Keith Cook, member of the Orange County Board of Education, said <br />that he does support the Community in Schools program. He feels that <br />the citizens in Orange County need to determine if the S.O.S. <br />afterschool program should be continued because it does need to be a <br />community effort. He also asked for funding for Orange Community <br />Housing. He explained that they are trying to keep affordable housing <br />moving in this County. They would like to have $50,000 to use as good <br />faith money to purchase property. <br />Jean Boldoc, small business owner in the electronic publishing <br />field spoke in support of funding the budget for the Orange County <br />schools. She is satisfied that the Board of Education has worked hard <br />to examine all line items and submitted a good budget and asked the <br />Board of County Commissioners to fully fund that budget. <br />Mr. John W. Hughes, Orange County Radio Amateurs, asked that the <br />Board contribute $8,000 toward a county-wide effort to install a radio <br />system that would provide communication for the whole area. This item <br />will be placed on the next agenda for consideration of approval by the <br />Board of County Commissioners. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />With no further comments, Chair Carey adjourned the meeting.
