PUBLIC HEARING YES: NO: x <br />------------------------------ <br />ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: Tara L. Fikes <br />TELEPHONE NUMBER - <br />Hillsborough - 732 -8181 <br />Chapel Hill - 968 -4501 <br />Mebane - 227 -2031 <br />Durham - 688 -7331 <br />- r- <br />PURPOSE: To approve the addition of one staff member of Orange <br />Community Housing Corporation to the County's benefit plan <br />for at least one year beginning November 1, 1990. <br />BACKGROUND: Orange Community Housing Corporation (OCHC) was created by <br />the key recommendation of the county's low and moderate <br />income housing task force. OCHC is preparing to begin its <br />first official year of operation. Office space has been <br />secured and they are presently searching for an Executive <br />Director. During this recruitment process, the need for the <br />provision of benefits as surfaced. Their goal is to hire an <br />executive director by October 31, 1990, leaving little time <br />in the interim for study and Exploration of benefit <br />packages. <br />Therefore, to assist the corporation, OCHC is requesting to <br />be included in the County's benefit plans for at least one <br />year. This would allow OCHC time to explore other ways to <br />provide these benefits while already having a director on <br />board. OCHC would finance this benefit plan (equivalent to <br />the County's contribution) therefore, there would be no <br />direct cost to the County. <br />RECOMMENDATION(5): <br />Approve the addition of one staff member of Orange <br />Community Housing Corporation to the County's benefit plan <br />for at least one year beginning November 1, 1990 by <br />contract as approved by the County Attorney. <br />
