The Board <br />directed the preparation of a Living Wage Ordinance for its consideration following a public <br />hearing during which it will receive public comment on the coverage and other content of the <br />proposed ordinance. <br />Generally the proposed ordinance will require those contracting with Orange County to pay their <br />employees a living wage when the purpose of the contract is to provide services to Orange <br />County or its citizens that Orange County could provide with its own employees. The proposed <br />ordinance will also cover construction contracts, to the extent permitted by the public bidding <br />laws. It will also propose that businesses receiving the benefits of loans from the Orange County <br />loan pool, economic development grants, and other financial aid pay their employees a living <br />wage. <br />The ordinance will initially establish the Orange County living wage at $8.00 per hour and may <br />provide for periodic (annual) changes to incorporate cost of living increases. <br />A copy of the proposed ordinance is available for inspection at the office of the Clerk to the <br />Board of County Commissioners. The address of the Clerk's office is 200 South Cameron Street, <br />Hillsborough, North Carolina. <br />ORANGE COUNTY ZONING ATLAS AMENDMENT <br />1.
