2 | Page CHOCVB BOD Meeting May 21 , 2014 <br /> <br /> <br />Mark Sherburne replied if we are unable to post for the position now, would Linda be available to work with <br />the new hire. Paolicelli explained that the way the county retirement structure works is after putting in for <br />retirement, you cannot legally come back to work so we would definitely lose Linda. <br />Gering inquired on what the reason was for not being able to advertise for the position. Paolicelli replied that <br />the county has to have the 2014-15 budget approved first before advertising. Gering stated that he recently <br />went through this with the Town and suggested to do a budget amendment, possibly out of reserves to cover <br />the deficit. <br />Gering motioned to make a request to the county commissioners to adopt a budget amendment to pay for the <br />advertisement of Linda’s replacement. Lee Pavao seconded <br />Lee Storrow commented that while he wants to move this forward as well, a budget amendment might make <br />it more complicated. In addition, inquired if maybe Laurie along with Penny Rich might have a conversations <br />with Barry (Jacobs) and the interim manager explain the situation and we really need to do this, and this is a <br />position that already exists. <br />Gering amended the motion to give Laurie direction to speak with the new county manager and commissioner. <br />Penny Rich interjected reminding that the new county manager would not be in position until June 25 and that <br />the interim manager should be the one involved. <br />With that, Gering re-amended the motion to say this board recommends for Laurie to petition for a budget <br />amendment to advertise for the sales director position as soon as possible. <br />Lee Pavao inquired if this position would be offered internally first? Paolicelli replied that she thought since <br />this is a position that is not held by anyone else in the county, that it would not be the case. <br />Chairman Cary clarified Mike Gering’s motion is to direct the executive director of the Visitor Bureau to push <br />discussions with the interim county manager, HR and those officials that have the power to make this <br />modification up to having this board supportive of a budget amendment if its recommended. Carey asked for <br />a second motion. Lee seconded. The vote was unanimous to approve the motion. <br />Reports <br />Budget/Finance <br />Penny Rich reported that as the fiscal year winds down, everything is coming together. Revenue is up 15% over <br />all, having a good year. The $35,000 budget amendment has been applied to advertising; there is $400,000 in <br />the fund balance. Penny stated she would work with Laurie on the new hire. Following up on the rent issue, <br />Ms. Rich reported that they would go before the BOCC on Tuesday June 10. Ms. Rich stated that the town of <br />Chapel Hill has again offered $175,000 for fiscal year 2014-15 and commented that they may look into extra <br />funds from other towns. <br />Update on Preservation Symposium <br />Moving on to agenda item V. the floor was given to Cheri Szcodronski for an overview of the upcoming <br />Symposium: Szcodronski briefly gave background history on her past experience. She then talked about a <br />recently adopted 5-yr preservation plan. Finally, Ms. Szcodronski spoke in detail on the symposium to be held <br />May 30 and 31 at various venues in the county.
