Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) Board Update Presentation <br /> 20 The Board received a brief presentation from Tony DuBois, General Manager of the <br /> 21 Orange County Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Board, and provided any questions or <br /> 22 comments to Mr. DuBois. <br /> 23 Lisa Stuckey, ABC Board Chair, said they are here to give the BOCC an annual update <br /> 24 and is joined by Tony Dubois and Ron McCoy, ABC Finance Director. <br /> 25 Tony Dubois said the ABC Board is a political subdivision of the State, an independent <br /> 26 government agency. He said there is a Board of Directors, and there will be an appointment for <br /> 27 the Board Chair this summer. He said the mission of the ABC Board is to serve the County <br /> 28 responsibly, not selling to anyone under the age of 21; return profits to law enforcement, <br /> 29 alcohol education, and the County general fund; and provide excellent customer service in <br /> 30 modern, well kept stores. He said all ABC Board members go through ethics training to insure <br /> 31 the highest ethical standards and transparency. He said activities of the last year include the <br /> 32 opening of their new administrative offices and the new store in Chapel Hill. He said this store <br /> 33 has one of the highest local North Carolina sections in the state. <br /> 34 Tony Dubois reviewed the following information: <br /> 35 In the fiscal year starting July 1, 2015, a distribution of $400,000 was promised to the <br /> 36 Orange County General fund. Distributions are made the last month of each quarter <br /> 37 (September, December, March and June) in the amount of $100,000. The board also set aside <br /> 38 $ 48,333 to contribute to the Board Retiree Health Care Plan. The board funded local Alcohol <br /> 39 Law Enforcement agencies $135,000. The board also increased the amount available for <br /> 40 community Alcohol Education and Rehabilitation grants for schools and local community <br /> 41 organizations to $173,125. The distributions from the board for fiscal year 2015-16 total <br /> 42 $734,883. We also set aside $50,000 to initiate the living wage in 2016 and the board is <br /> 43 currently considering how to implement this in a fair manner. Starting the living wage will affect <br /> 44 the board's profitability and ability to increase payments to the general fund in the future. <br /> 45 <br /> 46 Alcohol Law Enforcement Amount <br /> 47 Hillsborough Police Department $ 7,000 <br /> 48 Carrboro Police Department $ 16,000 <br /> 49 Chapel Hill Police Department $ 25,000 <br /> 50 Orange County Sheriff's Department $ 87,000 <br />
