VOTE: UNANIMOUS A motion was made by Commissioner Yuhasz, seconded by Commissioner Jacobs to separate item #1, Revenue Options, from the other items on the Resolution Regarding Legislative Matters (lavender sheet). VOTE: UNANIMOUS Commissioner Hemminger said that she wants to put the hunting deer with dogs on the agenda because she does not want it to get lost. Commissioner Yuhasz suggested not putting it in the resolution, but still making a statement that the Board does not want to abandon this issue and still wants to end hunting deer with dogs in Orange County. Commissioner McKee said that the decision not to include this in the packet this year is no indication of wanting to abandon this issue, but the fact that the number of calls and incidences has dramatically dropped. Commissioner Hemminger made a motion to put the hunting deer with dogs issue back on the agenda. Commissioner McKee said that if they use this resolution to add this item, then it will add to proposed legislative matters resolution for local issues. Commissioner Yuhasz asked if this could be added to the list of"items of interest." Commissioner Hemminger clarified her motion that there will be a separate memo for this, writing to the Legislative Delegation that the Board of County Commissioners has not lost interest in this issue and it understands the realities of the short session and that it will be brought up again in the future. Commissioner Gordon seconded the motion. VOTE: Ayes, 5; No, 1 (Commissioner McKee) A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Hemminger to approve item #1, Revenue Options for Local Government, that supports legislation that authorizes any local government to enact any revenue source that is presently available to one or more local governments in the state. VOTE: Ayes, 4; Nays, 2 (Commissioner McKee and Commissioner Yuhasz) A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Hemminger to approve the other items on attachment 4: County Responsibility for Roads; Bio-solids Disposal; Energy Efficiency Standards in Local Building Codes; Broadband; Sales Tax Exemption; and Smart Start and more at Four. VOTE: UNANIMOUS A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Hemminger to approve the resolution regarding the remaining Orange-Alamance County boundary legislation. John Roberts made reference to page 7 on the pink sheet and said that it will have to be amended in Sections 10 and 11. Right now it refers to plat books and recordings and he said that they cannot record the 9% as being the County line until the General Assembly actually adopts it. He said that this will say, "the General Assembly adopts the 9% of the County line as is recommended to them by the Orange County Commissioners and Alamance County Commissioners at their (insert date year) meeting."
