1 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date: October 18, 2016 <br /> Action Agenda <br /> Item No. 7-b <br /> SUBJECT: Orange County ABC Board Travel Policy <br /> DEPARTMENT: County Manager and Finance <br /> and Administrative Services <br /> ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br /> Attachment 1. Proposed Amended ABC Bonnie Hammersley, (919) 245-2300 <br /> Board Travel Policy Gary Donaldson, (919) 245-2453 <br /> Attachment 2. June 21, 2016 Meeting <br /> Abstract <br /> Attachment 3: Excerpt of Approved <br /> Minutes from June 21, <br /> 2016 Board Meeting <br /> PURPOSE: To approve the Orange County Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Board's adoption <br /> and use of an amended travel policy. <br /> BACKGROUND: Five years ago, the North Carolina Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission <br /> enacted a new policy requirement that each local ABC Board adopt a travel policy on an annual <br /> basis. A local ABC Board can adopt the State of North Carolina's travel policy, or the travel <br /> policy of the County in which the ABC Board resides, or a travel policy that conforms to the <br /> travel policy of the County. <br /> The Orange County ABC Board voted the last five years to adopt and use Orange County's <br /> travel policy. The travel policy was most recently adopted by the BOCC on June 21, 2016. <br /> Subsequent to the June adoption, the ABC Board had minor ABC revisions primarily pertaining <br /> to ABC approval responsibilities (see Attachment 1). In order for the ABC Board to use the <br /> proposed amended policy, the Board of County Commissioners must approve. <br /> SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: There is no Orange County Social Justice Goal associated with <br /> this item. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact with approving the Orange County ABC <br /> Board's use of the amended travel policy. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the Orange <br /> County ABC Board's use of the amended travel policy. <br />
