The Board considered a revision to the Resolution of Approval dated December 11, 20111 for the Fox Hill Farm Central Preliminary Plat to address on-site environmental remediation issues. Commissioner Yuhasz asked that he be excused from deliberations or voting because he has had involvement with the applicant. A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Hemminger to excuse Commissioner Yuhasz. VOTE: ALL (6) Commissioner Yuhasz excused Planning Director Craig Benedict made reference to the resolution on page 3, Attachment 1, and said that, after review of section f-4, there was something that was double counted. The 2.29-acre area that is mentioned should be 1.67 acres. There are two places that this is mentioned in this section. He asked the Board to amend this to the proper numbers. A motion was made by Commissioner Foushee, seconded by Commissioner Hemminger to approve the reduction of Lot 167 of Fox Hill Farm Central, Phase 4 from 4.80 acres to 4.18 acres; approve the "Revision to the Resolution of Approval", which is incorporated by reference, in order to address on-site environmental remediation issues; and to approve the amendment as stated above by Craig Benedict. VOTE: ALL (Commissioner Yuhasz excused) u. OPC Area Proqram — Partnership Proposed with Piedmont Behavioral Health LME (Medicaid Waiver Expansion) The Board considered authorizing the Orange-Person-Chatham Local Management Entity to undertake formal merger and negotiation with Piedmont Behavioral Health according to State policies and statutes regarding 1915 (b) (c) Medicaid waiver expansion. Commissioner Jacobs said that he pulled this because he did not think it belonged on the consent agenda. This is a major change in how OPC is going to be configured. He did not want to let the opportunity go by without a comment. He thanked the members of the OPC Board, staff, and past and present County Commissioners that have worked on this. He also thanked Representative Insko, who tried to improve the State's mental health system. Instead, there has been a disaster that has gotten worse over time because it reduced services to the people that it was supposed to serve. He said that this is not necessarily something that Orange County would have chosen had it had an alternative. This is the best alternative in a bad situation. He wants to be clear that the Orange County Commissioners have not been supportive of what has happened to the mental health system. A motion was made by Commissioner McKee, seconded by Commissioner Hemminger to approve authorizing the Orange-Person-Chatham Local Management Entity to undertake formal merger and negotiation with Piedmont Behavioral Health according to State policies and statutes regarding 1915 (b) (c) Medicaid waiver expansion.
