5 <br /> 1 Chapel Hill and residents from unincorporated areas not understanding how it benefits them. <br /> 2 She stressed the need to communicate more effectively to constituents how they benefit from <br /> 3 decisions made on projects within jurisdictions. <br /> 4 Commissioner McKee recalled a conversation he had with a long-time resident who had <br /> 5 myriad complaints about the County government. He said he finally asked the resident, "What <br /> 6 do want me to do?" and the response was, "Put it back like it was." He said his response was <br /> 7 that the 1950's were not very good for a lot of people, and even if he could put it back, he would <br /> 8 not. <br /> 9 Commissioner Marcoplos said he recognized the need to communicate more with the <br /> 10 public in a time where the traditional media is not as robust as it once was. He said this has <br /> 11 resulted in a system where Chapel Hill and Carrboro get a lot of media coverage, but many <br /> 12 times more consequential decisions made at the County level are ignored. He said the number <br /> 13 of papers who have stopped publishing or had reduced coverage and readership. <br /> 14 Commissioner Price said many times people living in unincorporated areas want to be <br /> 15 recognized and have healthy representation from their local officials, as well as recognition that <br /> 16 what benefits rural areas of the County also benefits the municipalities. <br /> 17 Commissioner Dorosin said the representatives from municipalities need to speak to <br /> 18 this. He said an intergovernmental effort was needed to communicate to the public, such as a <br /> 19 website, where economic development and other successes could be listed on the website, <br /> 20 which could be hosted by the County. He said buy-in is needed from municipalities to truly <br /> 21 recognize the One County vision. He said there also needs to be recognition that the County is <br /> 22 interconnected and success is shared across the county. He expressed gratitude that the <br /> 23 conversation was happening as early as it was, before the Assembly of Governments meeting. <br /> 24 Commissioner Price recognized Annette Moore, of Human Rights and Relations for <br /> 25 pushing the "One Orange" theme. She also mentioned the publications that highlighted these <br /> 26 themes and successes throughout the County. <br /> 27 Chair Rich said it is important to recognize positives and successes, as opposed to <br /> 28 dwelling on the negative, when talking with the other jurisdictions. She said it makes it a lot <br /> 29 easier to have conversations about more difficult issues. <br /> 30 Commissioner Dorosin said a collaborative relationship with towns existed based on <br /> 31 funding for things like economic development, and this was an incentive for all to communicate <br /> 32 positively together on a "one orange" message. <br /> 33 Bonnie Hammersley said this was a good and robust conversation, and it would be a <br /> 34 good way to begin discussions at the Assembly of Governments. <br /> 35 Chair Rich agreed. <br /> 36 Commissioner McKee said he could provide an opening to the conversation based on <br /> 37 his perspectives at the AOG. <br /> 38 Bonnie Hammersley said when she moved here, people were upset with her for living in <br /> 39 Chapel Hill and not in "Orange County". She said Commissioner McKee's recollection of history <br /> 40 for the group was helpful in her understanding of how Orange County works. <br /> 41 <br /> 42 Affordable Housing; Background <br /> 43 • Background Presentation (Sherrill Hampton): Affordable Housing; Existing programs, <br /> 44 successes and needs, budget and funding streams <br /> 45 • Open Discussion: Identifying priorities and consensus on affordable housing in Orange <br /> 46 County among the Board of County Commissioners <br /> 47 • Agreement on priorities to be discussed <br /> 48 <br /> 49 Sherrill Hampton presented this item: <br /> 50 <br /> 51 AFFORDABLE HOUSING OVERVIEW <br />
