He said dressing rooms will still remain closed. <br /> John Stock said the Sportsplex is a competitive business, and he has found that many <br /> competitors are trying to find loopholes in the Executive Order, but he is going to maintain tight <br /> observation of the County's directives. He said the Sportsplex will probably lose some <br /> programming, but it is cutting some expenditure. <br /> Travis Myren resumed the PowerPoint presentation: <br /> Economic Development (ED) — page 143 <br /> Steve Brantley, Economic Development Director, in attendance <br /> • Total expenditure budget - $516,212 <br /> o Reduction of ($9,681) <br /> o Offsetting Transfer from Article 46 Sales Tax <br /> Grant Activity History - graph <br /> Chapel Hill Orange County Visitors Bureau — page 143 <br /> Laurie Paolicelli, Visitors Bureau Director, in attendance <br /> • Total expenditure budget - $1,415,126 —offset by occupancy tax <br /> o FY2019-20 Projection Reduced by 15% Compared to FY2018-19 <br /> (244,463) <br /> o FY2020-21 Budget Reduced by of 13% Compared to New <br /> Projection ($180,503) <br /> Commissioner Marcoplos asked if this crisis has affected the ED projects that have been <br /> approved for Orange County. <br /> Steve Brantley said there were 4 ED announcements last year: 1.)

He said the inquiries from the state dipped the last two months, but are picking up <br /> again.
