4 <br /> 1 <br /> 2 Representative Meyer said he supported the Board's right to enact impact fees and they as a Delegation <br /> 3 will help fight these bills but the perception is that this one developer will be paying up to 50% of all <br /> 4 their impact fees. This will get labeled that this will hurt affordable housing and this is a messy issue in <br /> 5 Orange County as well as for them as legislators. <br /> 6 <br /> 7 Representative Insko said they are worried about the public's perception. <br /> 8 <br /> 9 Senator Foushee said they need to know how to defend this in the legislature. It looks as if Orange <br /> 10 County is gunning for one particular developer and with that perception, then the developers will be <br /> 11 pushing back. <br /> 12 <br /> 13 Commissioner Burroughs said they need to "tweak" their public message. She asked the Delegation <br /> 14 what the regional strategy is going forward. <br /> 15 <br /> 16 Representative Insko said the republicans need to take the lead and Representative Meyer agreed. <br /> 17 <br /> 18 Commissioner Marcoplos said the developer abandoned the appeals process and so they don't know <br /> 19 what their projected impact fee would have been. <br /> 20 <br /> 21 Representative Insko said they don't need to blame the developer in the public arena. <br /> 22 <br /> 23 Representative Insko said the appeals process is still on going and she asked the Board to tell the public <br /> 24 and them what they have done on other appeals. <br /> 25 <br /> 26 Travis Myren said Carraway Village is an example and Representative Insko said to use that example in <br /> 27 their letter. <br /> 28 <br /> 29 PRIORITY DISCUSSION TOPICS <br /> 30 Raise Age for Juvenile Jurisdiction in Criminal Court- Commissioner Price <br /> 31 Support legislation and funding to raise the Age of Juvenile Jurisdiction from 16 to 18. <br /> 32 Item#6 in the attached Board of Commissioners' Statewide Issues Resolution(Page 3) <br /> 33 * See also the attached North Carolina Association of County Commissioners 2017-18 Legislative <br /> 34 Goals— <br /> 35 Senator Foushee said this one is done. <br /> 36 <br /> 37 Voter Registration and Voting- Commissioner Burroughs <br /> 38 Support legislation to: 1)maintain same day voter registration, early voting and Sunday voting <br /> 39 provisions, and the pre-registration of 16 and 17 year olds in preparation for voting; 2)restore straight <br /> 40 party ticket voting, the validity of out of precinct provisional ballots, and the public financing of judicial <br /> 41 elections; and 3) eliminate all photo identification requirements. <br /> 42 Item#15 in the Board of Commissioners' Statewide Issues Resolution <br /> 43 <br /> 44 <br /> 45 Commissioner Burroughs asked if this was still in the courts and the Delegation agreed. <br /> 46 <br /> 47 Representative Meyer said they don't know the court timing and they don't know any other Republican <br /> 48 restrictions that may come forward. <br /> 49 <br />
