embodiment of how the North Carolina Government should be addressing the issues that are important to Orange County through the legislative process. A motion was made by Commissioner McKee, seconded by Commissioner Price to approve Items 2-30; adding biological resources to #13; including corrections on asterisks; and incorporating the rose sheet, Orange County Board of Commissioners Resolution on Commercial Dog Breeding Facilities, as #31. Commissioner Dorosin said this becomes #31, and Commissioner McKee and Commissioner Price accepted this friendly amendment. VOTE: UNANIMOUS A motion was made by Commissioner Pelissier, seconded by Commissioner Rich to approve the Clean Water Management Trust Fund Resolution. VOTE: UNANIMOUS Chair Jacobs asked commissioners to identify 3-5 items for priority discussion with their delegation and the suggestions were as follows: - Commissioner Gordon suggested items 2, 29, and 7, and 6 - Commissioner Rich also suggested item 29 - Commissioner Price suggested item 10 - Commissioner McKee suggested item 7 - Commissioner Dorosin suggested item 12 - Commissioner Pelissier and Chair Jacobs suggested item 20 Commissioner Pelissier said if it is known that there is something that NCACC is going to heavily lobby for then strategically this item should be dropped in favor of something of greater interest to Orange County. Chair Jacobs noted that these NCACC goals will be found at the top of page 28 and include numbers 2 and 12. He said he would argue for the couple of things that might actually be possible, such as the electronics fee for recycling and the bio solids disposal. Commissioner Gordon said she would be willing to drop item 6. Chair Jacobs reviewed the Commissioner's suggestions. Commissioner McKee suggested that Item 2, County Responsibility for Roads, be taken off. He said he feels that Item 12, regarding Mental Health, is critical enough to be left on, even if it is in the top NCACC goals. He said that he sees the issue of Mental Health is both a local and state issue that plays into many other issues such as mass shootings, homelessness and poverty and must remain a priority. Commissioner Gordon suggested that all of the items mentioned should be considered and 5 voted through. Chair Jacobs said there are eight items being considered and suggested that someone make a motion for five, or the vote could be taken one by one. A motion was made by Commissioner Dorosin, seconded by Commissioner McKee to select the following items for approval: • 2 - County Responsibility for Roads • 7 - Smart Start and More at Four • 12 - Mental Health
