6 i . <br /> s <br /> i <br /> 2 <br /> On July 23 , 2002 , Orange County , along with 72 other counties in North Carolina , was declared <br /> an agricultural disaster area . The North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service , in <br /> collaboration with the local Farm Service Agency and other agricultural related agencies , has <br /> been working closely with local farmers , to determine relief efforts and the impact of the drought <br /> on these farming enterprises . Staff have prepared a list of Cooperative Extension activities in <br /> response to the drought , and will attend the work session to provide further information on the <br /> educational and federally assisted programs being offered for drought relief. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT ; There is no financial impact associated with receiving and discussing <br /> these staff reports . However, the County will need to devote additional staff resources towards <br /> the public education effort and if necessary , financial resources towards mitigating adverse <br /> consequences for County human service clients who lack the resources to deal with the worst <br /> drought impacts . There are also some costs , not yet quantified , associated with the use of new <br /> water coolers in lieu of existing water fountains and water-free hand cleaning supplies in County <br /> facilities . <br /> RECO111 MENDATION ( S ) : The Manager recommends that the Board : <br /> 1 ) receive and discuss the reports , . <br /> 2 ) endorse changes to the drought/water use ordinance that would mandate the use of single <br /> service in County restaurants ; <br /> 3 ) endorse the recommended public information strategies as outlined in the County <br /> Engineer' s report , <br /> 4 ) endorse the use of water conservation technologies in County facilities where appropriate ; <br /> and <br /> 5 ) provide additional direction , as appropriate , to the Manager and staff. <br />
