27 1 Commissioner Gordon said she is just trying to understand how the revenue is 2 allocated. She said it seems that the numbers should be comparable, and it should be an 3 apples to apples comparison. 4 Bret Martin said that $44 figure is operating an administrator per hour, but the marginal 5 cost of rolling out additional services does not necessarily include that administrative cost. He 6 said the marginal cost of new services is, for a period of time, all operating. 7 Commissioner Gordon suggested this just be taken under advisement and possibly the 8 two entities could figure out something to better explain the cost per hour. She also asked for 9 an explanation in June of how this proposal matches up with the actual Orange County Bus and 10 Rail Investment Plan. She asked for an explanation of the overall Bus and Rail investment Plan 11 and how the assumptions changed. 12 Commissioner Rich thanked staff for answering these questions. She said she is 13 hoping that some of the points made tonight would be available in case the questions come up 14 again. 15 Chair Jacobs said the Board has now provided feedback and staff has additional 16 direction. He thanked staff. 17 18 c. Consideration of a Unified Development Ordinance Text Amendment Related 19 to Home Occupations 20 The Board was to receive the Planning Board recommendation and consider a decision 21 on a Planning Board and Planning Director initiated text amendment to the Unified 22 Development Ordinance (UDO). 23 24 DEFERRED 25 A motion was made by Commissioner McKee, seconded by Commissioner Rich to defer 26 the item to the May 20, 2014 BOCC Regular meeting. 27 28 VOTE: UNANIMOUS 29 30 31 d.

She said the problem has been dodged a 40 couple of times, but it could not be dodged this year. She said there are 8 positions with the 41 County that are funded through June 30. She said there is a new program coming in to replace 42 the program that was there, but it will not be advantageous to the Orange County Schools to 43 have this contract. She said the schools have decided to move on and fund whatever they can 44 afford to do within their own budget. 45 She said this has left 7 employees (there is one vacancy) who have to be given notices 46 unless there is a plan for them.
