1 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date: June 4, 2019 <br /> Action Agenda <br /> Item No. 8-g <br /> SUBJECT: Orange County ABC Board Travel Policy <br /> DEPARTMENT: County Manager and Finance <br /> and Administrative Services <br /> ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br /> ABC County Travel Policy Bonnie Hammersley, (919) 245-2300 <br /> Gary Donaldson, (919) 245-2453 <br /> PURPOSE: To approve the Orange County Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Board's adoption <br /> and continued use of Orange County's travel policy. <br /> BACKGROUND: The North Carolina Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission requires that <br /> each local ABC Board annually adopt a travel policy. A local ABC Board can adopt the State of <br /> North Carolina's travel policy or use the travel policy of the County in which the ABC Board is <br /> located. <br /> In October 2016, the ABC Board made amendments to the policy pertaining to the required <br /> approval authority for overnight travel. Notice of overnight travel approved by the appropriate <br /> supervisory authority will be forwarded by the ABC General Manager and/or Board Chair to the <br /> County Manager. The Board of County Commissioners approved these amendments at its <br /> October 18, 2016 Board meeting for FY 2016-17. In June 2017 and June 2018, the BOCC <br /> renewed approval for the ABC Board to use the travel policy for each of the upcoming fiscal <br /> years. The ABC Board is now requesting approval for FY 2019-20. <br /> In order for the ABC Board to use the County's travel policy, the Board of County <br /> Commissioners has to approve the Orange County ABC Board's use of the travel policy on an <br /> annual basis. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact with approving the Orange County ABC <br /> Board's use of the County's travel policy. <br /> SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: There is no Orange County Social Justice Goal associated with <br /> this item. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the Orange <br /> County ABC Board's use of the County's travel policy for FY 2019-20. <br />
