state resources fund service provision costs inclusive of sufficient crisis <br />beds; <br />19) Land, Water and Agricultural Preservation Funding /Conservation — <br />Support the restoration of funding for Park, Agricultural Preservation, <br />Clean Water and other existing trust funds established for the protection <br />of the State's land, water, biological resources, agriculture, and special <br />places before they are irreversibly lost; and also support a conservation <br />option under the Use Value Program and a revision to the revenue and <br />acreage requirements of the Use Value Program to address operations <br />that meet the revenue requirements, but do not meet the minimum ten <br />acres threshold for agricultural operations; <br />20) Concealed Weapons in Parks - Seek legislation authorizing counties <br />to fully regulate the carrying of concealed weapons in parks, and <br />specifically a revision of North Carolina General Statute 14- 415.23, <br />which limits the authority of local governments to regulate the carrying <br />of concealed weapons in parks and other areas where large numbers of <br />children may congregate. <br />21) Participation in Solid Waste Programs for Recycling — Support <br />legislation authorizing counties to require county residents to participate <br />in solid waste collections programs conducted by counties and impose <br />a fee for the solid waste collection services in a manner similar to the <br />authority granted to cities. The fee may not exceed the costs of <br />collection; <br />22) Potentially Dangerous Dog Declarations — Appeals Timetable — <br />Support legislation amending North Carolina General Statute 67 -4.1.0 <br />to allow an appellate Board considering a potentially dangerous dog <br />declaration to convene a hearing "within 10 regular business days of the <br />filing of an objection ". The current 10 -day timetable to convene a <br />hearing presents a significant challenge as members of appeals bodies, <br />often community residents, have personal and business obligations that <br />create a struggle to schedule meetings within the mandated 10 -day <br />timeframe. <br />This the 16th day of September 2014. <br />Barry Jacobs, Chair <br />Orange County Board of Commissioners <br />X <br />
