The next recommendation that the Board of Health made, and that the County Commissioners approved, was that in 2012-13 that additional staff be added to fully utilize those eight chairs. Commissioner Jacobs said that, to be consistent, the County Commissioners recently sent a letter to the Orange County Schools thanking them for working with KidsCope to not charge rent because KidsCope could pay for capital improvements to the school's facility. If that is the policy that the County wants the schools to follow, and the County is going to use the Whitted Building with the Town of Hillsborough for some other purpose and the Town is going to provide some capital improvements, then the County should follow the same principle and not charge rent. If rent is charged, then the County should do the capital improvements. Frank Clifton said that the staff can come back with a proposal for the issue of providing dental care in both ends of the County. A motion was made by Commissioner Yuhasz, seconded by Commissioner Jacobs to approve the Manager's recommendation (with an additional 6th point): 1) Approve the scope and design of the project as presented; 2) Authorize bids to be solicited; 3) Approve the $576,068 Budget Amendment#5-B for the Medicaid Maximization Capital Project; 4) Approve the use of Medicaid Maximization Capital funds and Dental Capital Equipment Funds to complete this project based on the Construction estimate of $1.47 million; 5) Authorize the Manager or his designee to negotiate and execute a month-to-month extension of the existing Carr Mill Mall lease for a period not to exceed 90 days following the June 30, 2011 expiration; and 6) Direct County staff, in concert with the BOH, and the health department, to develop a plan for restoring dental services in southern Orange County in a timely and cost effective manner, including discussion of partnership opportunities with the Towns of Chapel Hill and Carrboro. Commissioner Yuhasz said that he would accept the additional point if "timely" falls within the parameters of the original BOH recommendation and the motion that the County Commissioners approved previously. VOTE: Ayes, 6; Nay, 1 (Commissioner Gordon) c. Revised Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Review/Approval Schedule The Board considered the Planning Board's recommended schedule for further review of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), deciding whether the November 22 public hearing will be continued to February 28, 2011 in order to receive additional oral public comment, and considered approval of a schedule. Craig Benedict made reference to the handout, which was distributed by the Clerk. He said that after the November 22, 2010 Quarterly Public Hearing when the UDO was addressed, the County Commissioners directed the Planning Board to come back with a recommendation by December 14th. On December 1st, the Planning Board met and discussed the timeline at length with the instructions given by the County Commissioners to come back with the timeline that respected the upcoming budget deliberations. The motion was made by Vice-Chair Judith Wegner of the Planning Board and it was approved 9-1. He went through the motion: "Number 1 that the Planning Board expresses its intent and desire and commitment to work in detail with Conditional District and Conditional use District by having two meetings in January and to address stream buffer issues in a meeting early in February.
