14 <br /> 1 <br /> 2 MOTION FAILED <br /> 3 <br /> 4 This failed vote puts Commissioner Price's motion, as stated on green sheet, back on <br /> 5 the table. <br /> 6 Commissioner Rich asked if the motion intends that the funds will come out of the <br /> 7 Economic Development office. <br /> 8 Commissioner Price said yes, her motion intends to keep the current status quo, and <br /> 9 any changes can be discussed after the investigation. <br /> 10 Commissioner Marcoplos clarified that the motion is restoring a status quo amount, <br /> 11 which is unknown but estimated to be between $20,000-$25,000. <br /> 12 Chair Dorosin said yes. <br /> 13 <br /> 14 VOTE: Ayes, 3 (Commissioner Price, Commissioner Burroughs, and Commissioner McKee); <br /> 15 Nays, 4 (Commissioner Jacobs, Chair Dorosin, Commissioner Marcoplos, and Commissioner <br /> 16 Rich) <br /> 17 <br /> 18 MOTION FAILED <br /> 19 <br /> 20 A motion was made by Commissioner McKee, seconded by Commissioner Price to <br /> 21 restore payment to both Chambers - $8,500 to Chapel Hill-Carrboro and $1,000 to the <br /> 22 Hillsborough/Orange County Chamber for a total of $9,500 at this time; and that the Board <br /> 23 defers any decisions on departmental dues and the Visitors Bureau dues until staff analysis is <br /> 24 received in September. <br /> 25 <br /> 26 Chair Dorosin asked if this decision can be deferred, and clarified that only the $9500 <br /> 27 will get paid in this budget. He asked if this is different from Commissioner Jacobs' motion. <br /> 28 Bonnie Hammersley said Commissioner McKee did not direct for staff to move all dues <br /> 29 to the Manager's office, staff would come back with information, and decision on other <br /> 30 departmental dues would be deferred. <br /> 31 Commissioner McKee said the decision regarding moving this to the Manager's office <br /> 32 can be made in September, and the Manager's office will do an analysis on everything. <br /> 33 Commissioner Rich clarified that with Commissioner McKee's motion, Economic <br /> 34 Development is the only member of the Chamber. <br /> 35 Commissioner McKee said no, Orange County is a member, and other decisions are <br /> 36 deferred until September. <br /> 37 Commissioner Rich said Commissioner McKee's motion leaves the funds coming out of <br /> 38 Economic Development, and if he wants it to come from the Manager's office, this needs to be <br /> 39 added to his motion. <br /> 40 Chair Dorosin said the funds for both Chambers at this point will come out of the general <br /> 41 fund. <br /> 42 Commissioner McKee said that is correct and the County will be the named member <br /> 43 with all other departments being suspended until further decision. <br /> 44 <br /> 45 VOTE: Ayes, 6; Nays, 1 (Commissioner Rich) <br /> 46 <br /> 47 MOTION PASSES <br /> 48 <br /> 49 Commissioner Marcoplos suggested that the miscellaneous budget amendments be <br /> 50 discussed earlier in the budget process, and have a deadline for proposed amendments. <br />
