1 <br /> <br />APPROVED 6/18/2019 <br /> <br />MINUTES <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />BUDGET WORK SESSION <br />May 30, 2019 <br />7:00 p.m. <br /> <br />The Orange County Board of Commissioners met in regular session on Thursday, May 30, 2019 <br />at 7:00 p.m. at the Southern Human Services Center in Chapel Hill, N.C. <br /> <br />COUNTY COMMISSIONERS PRESENT: Chair Penny Rich and Commissioners <br />Jamezetta Bedford, Mark Dorosin, Sally Greene, Earl McKee, Mark Marcoplos and Renee <br />Price <br />COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ABSENT: None <br />COUNTY ATTORNEYS PRESENT: John Roberts <br />COUNTY STAFF PRESENT: County Manager Bonnie Hammersley, Deputy County <br />Manager Travis Myren, and Clerk to the Board Donna Baker (All other staff members will <br />be identified appropriately below) <br /> <br />Chair Rich called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. <br />Travis Myren reviewed the following items at the Commissioners’ places: <br /> <br />- Blue sheet: a listing of the draft amendments to the budget from Commissioners staff has <br />received so far. This is a living document that will be amended throughout the budget process. <br />- White sheet: sent out this last week, and contains answers to questions that were raised <br />during the CIP Discussion: <br /> <br />1. Prioritization of Facility Projects <br />The facility repair and improvement projects were scored based on consistent scoring <br />criteria described in the attachment. In general, projects intended to address known <br />failures or facility deficiencies that pose significant risk are scored above preventative <br />maintenance items. <br /> <br />2. Prioritization of the Parks Facility and Renovation Project <br />Individual elements of the Parks Facility Repair and Renovation Project were scored <br />using the facility scoring criteria. We did not attempt to score the other parks projects <br />such as improvements to Cedar Grove Park or continued investment in the Mountains to <br />Sea Trail. Each of those projects has its own intrinsic value and purpose, so they are <br />not easily prioritized against one another. <br /> <br />3. HVAC Recommendations <br />This list is an inventory of the HVAC systems recommended for replacement along with <br />an explanation of each system’s current status and age. New units are listed separately <br />with a justification for their addition. <br /> <br />4. Reponses to CIP Questions <br />This memo responds to specific questions raised by the Board during the CIP work <br />session. It addresses the cost and benefit of geothermal systems, building envelope <br />work, LED lighting plans, and the sustainability evaluation process that is now applied to <br />all new construction.
