surrounding counties. He spoke about economic justice. He wants to know haw much of the $75 million band is going to be spent through minority and female owned and operated companies. He knows there are some goals for this, but he is not aware of how well we are implementing those goals. Commissioner Halkiotis made reference to an unresolved issue a couple of years ago related to value engineering, construction management, and how the County can have a good understanding of buildings and land development being put together in a very cost effective manner. Chair Jacobs said that he had lunch with Mayor Foy and Mayor Phelps and that Chapel Hill has asked its staff to develop a value engineering component in its rehabilitation of the Hargraves Center. Maybe there can be same cooperation with Chapel Hill and the County. Commissioner Gordon said that we should try to make as rapid progress as possible to complete the initiatives that we have already begun. One of the issues is the Greene Tract. Chair Jacobs said that he would like to see a social justice goal that would include tracking minority contracting, affirmative hiring, inclusive signage, living wage, fuel fund and utility assistance, urgent home repair program, improved nursing home oversight, follow up for Human Services Advisory Commission Symposia, etc. He said that we do more than is required of us as a local government and go beyond what the State and the federal government does to try and provide a safety net for citizens who might otherwise struggle more than they do. He would like to track this and institutionalize it as a goal. Commissioner Carey suggested adding community health to the social justice goal. Commissioner Brown suggested adding mental health to the social justice goal. Provision of transportation to low-income residents also fits into the social justice goal. Commissioner Brown would like to understand in a more holistic way the services that we provide to the Latino community, children, and for mental health. Commissioner Gordon would like to see, when new schools are built, flexible space or swing space. Far example, there are classrooms that can be used far any grade level. She also thinks there should be an emphasis on renovation of older schools. Lastly, we need to talk about voluntary sharing of facilities and how this might be accomplished. Commissioner Halkiatis said that he would like to da something to resolve same boundary issues with adjoining counties, and also a zoning issue on US 70 west that has gone on for probably 15-20 years. He would be willing for the County to buy the land and get that mess out of there. Commissioner Gordon said that when we locate new schools, we should locate elementary and middle schools and/or middle and high schools an the same site far greater flexibility and share playing fields, etc. to include co-location of parks. Commissioner Brown spoke about co-location of senior centers, justice facilities, and a community college campus, parks, human services, parking lots, daycare or other County departments or satellite offices that would benefit these areas. Chair Jacobs made reference to the Latino community and said that he does not feel we have a handle on migrant workers - a segment of the community that is invisible to government. He does not want to be in a position where we are somehow missing an inequitable situation. He suggested that the Northern Center could do an outreach program for this segment of our population.
