10 1 Commissioner Rich asked how the public is being informed about the money that is 2 available through this program. 3 Steve Brantley said this information is on their homepage, and he will be working with 4 Carla Banks on a County press release. He has sent an advanced copy to the other entities to 5 place on their websites. He said he will also likely take out paid ads, and his office will be the 6 initial point of contact for completed applications. 7 He said the business investment grant documents would be given to the 8 subcommittees. He said David Stancil will be doing an abstract with names from the 9 Agricultural Preservation Board to serve on two of the five subcommittee positions there. 10 Commissioner Pelissier asked about the streamlining of the review and permitting 11 process and whether the advisory board will be making suggestions to the Commissioners and 12 the planning board.

He thanked the Board of County 20 Commissioners for the matching grant, and he said they would be back for continued funding 21 on the creation of a historic resources book. 22 He said the Commission has moved closer to keeping an eye on the Hillsborough extra 23 territorial jurisdiction (ETJ), which has not had any historic oversight in the past. He said funding 24 will be needed for some inventory work there. 25 He said they are hoping to get the Board of County Commissioners' approval in the near 26 future to look at the old Orange County Courthouse. 27 28 • Housing Authority - Jean Bolduc, Chair 29 (This report was given at the February 3rd Board of County Commissioners' Meeting.) 30 Jean Bolduc said the Board is nearly at full capacity, and there is only one seat left 31 open. 32 • Human Relations Commission - Gerald Ponder, Vice Chair ( and James Davis) 33 Gerald Ponder said this is the most diverse and well balanced commission in Orange 34 County. 35 He thanked the Commissioners for their physical presence in attending the 36 commission's many events, and he invited them to the community read on Monday night, at 37 the Orange County Library from 6 to 8 p.m. 38 He requested the Board's support of the commission's focus this year on disabled 39 residents. 40 Chair McKee thanked the commission for their many events. 41 42 • Nursing Home Community Advisory Committee - Ed Flowers, Board Member and 43 Charlotte Terwilliger (TJCOG) 44 45 Ed Flowers gave the Board an update on the last two paragraphs of the report.

He said Chapel Hill Rehab is going through renovations, and he has been told 50 that one of the top items on their agenda is to have a closeable, lockable unit in that facility.
