� <br /> Frank Clifton said that he made no assumptions that these boards would not continue to <br /> meet as they have. There is no reduction in funding, but it is just an assignment of that cost to <br /> tourism dollars. <br /> PUBLIC COMMENT: <br /> Kristin Miller spoke on the importance of the Orange County Health Department. She <br /> said that she was raised by a single mother with limited income. If they needed health care, they <br /> went to the Health Department and she continues to go there even as an adult. There are many <br /> hard working residents like her and she cannot imagine what they would have done without this <br /> state-supported option. <br /> AI Hartkopf said that he was advised by the management of Lowes Foods at <br /> Hillsborough Commons that the lease was not going to be renewed in October. He said that he <br /> understands that there is a lease with an option to buy surrounding the DSS facility at <br /> Hillsborough Commons. He said that the property tax here would be lost if this tenant leaves as <br /> well as the sales tax revenue. <br /> Frank Clifton said that the County got notice last week that Lowes was not going to <br /> renew its lease. The owner of the building contacted the County to see if they wanted to have <br /> discussions about this site and there have been no discussions yet. There was a work session <br /> several months ago and the proposed purchase price is not something that he can recommend <br /> from a financial standpoint for the County and it exceeds the reasonable boundaries. He said <br /> that the County also does not want to be in a position of kicking out active businesses. <br /> 4.
