<br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) and Manager. <br />FROM: Alice Gordon ~~fs <br />RE: Data Related to County Policy on Equitable Allocation of Funds <br />for County Projects <br />DATE: May 28, 2001 ._ <br />On May 23 I wrote a memorandum on "County Policy-on Equitable Allocation of <br />Funds for County Projects" suggesting that we should reconsider the County's <br />recently adopted "Policy Statement Regarding the Expenditure of County Band <br />Funds for Parks and Open Space" at the regular BQCC meeting on June 5. It is <br />my understanding that the item is on the Action Agenda .for June 5. <br />I. Background <br />A. Corr t bond lic 's roblematic <br />In that memorandum, I suggested that this bond policy was flawed for several <br />reasons that I outlined. I further suggested that the County should adopt more <br />general language to reaffirm its long-standing commitment to serve all <br />Orange County's citizens by striving to ensure an equitable distribution of <br />resources throughout Orange County, and then discuss the question of what <br />further policy statements were desirable. <br />The purpose of this memorandum is to illustrate some of the points made in the <br />May 23 memorandum by presenting data related. to the County's allocation of <br />resources. <br />B. E citable allocation of resources is com lei <br />Before I do that, let me.reiterate that the question of the equitable allocation of <br />resources is complex. One of those complexities involves the County's statutory <br />responsibilities, especially concerning those categories of responsibility <br />within and outside its planning and zoning jurisdiction (i.e. municipal <br />jurisdictions). On the one hand, the County is responsible for school facilities <br />all over Orange County. On the other hand, the county is not now responsible <br />for functions within municipalities that relate to or are affected by town <br />planning and zoning polities. Examples are recreation and parks, libraries, <br />and affordable housing. They could become solely county responsibilities <br />(even within. the towns) via a memorandum of agreement, but presently they <br />are not just the responsibility of Orange County. <br />The three scenarios given below start with the currently adopted policy for <br />the allocation of bond funds for parks and open space, along with associated <br />information being distributed to the Capital Needs Advisory Task Force <br />(CNATF). The second and third scenarios vary the assumptions given in the <br />first scenario. However, all three scenarios use the premise that the allocation <br />is between the percent of resources going to Chapel Hill Township on the one <br />hand, and the other six townships on the other hand, as stated in our currently <br />adopted policy. All three scenarios also use the premise that the percent for <br />all categories will be grouped into one final total percent, since that was done <br />for the current policy. The underlying data for the percentages for scenarios <br />two and three were provided by Orange County staff: <br />
