6 <br /> 1 Janice Tyler said if it is not required by state statute, she would recommend doing away <br /> 2 with the designations. <br /> 3 Commissioner Price said if the statute requires the designations, then they should <br /> 4 remain, but the overall numbers can be reduced. <br /> 5 Bonnie Hammersley said her recommendation was for 13, due to the difficulty in filling <br /> 6 positions. She said staff can figure out designations, and it would probably be best to keep two <br /> 7 boards, but reduce each committee to 10 members. <br /> 8 Chair Rich echoed Commissioner Dorosin's concern regarding the difficulty in filling <br /> 9 these boards. She said she would like to revisit these boards if the difficulty continues. <br /> 10 Thomas Freeman-Stuart said Covid-19 has prevented visits to these facilities, and asked <br /> 11 if enticing applicants will be even more difficult than it already was. <br /> 12 Victor Orija said Covid has made things difficult, but there are volunteers who really love <br /> 13 to serve in this capacity, and he is hopeful for the future. <br /> 14 <br /> 15 A motion was made by Commissioner Price, seconded by Commissioner Greene to <br /> 16 keep the committees separate and reduce the number of positions to ten (10) total for both the <br /> 17 Nursing Home Community Advisory Committee and the Adult Care Home Community Advisory <br /> 18 Committee. <br /> 19 <br /> 20 Chair Rich called each Commissioner by name (roll call). <br /> 21 <br /> 22 VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 23 <br /> 24 b. Discussion and Acceptance of the FY 2020-25 County Capital Investment Plan <br /> 25 The Board discussed the updated outstanding amendments to the Capital Investment <br /> 26 Plan, and considered voting to approve the acceptance of the FY 2020-25 County Capital <br /> 27 Investment Plan (CIP). <br /> 28 <br /> 29 Travis Myren, Deputy County Manager, reviewed the item below: <br /> 30 <br /> 31 BACKGROUND: During the Intent to Adopt Budget work session on June 9, 2020, the Board <br /> 32 approved amendments to the Capital Investment Plan that advanced the expansion of the <br /> 33 Durham Technical Community College and amended several projects in Year 1 (FY 2020-21) <br /> 34 intended to offset the cost of advancing that project. <br /> 35 <br /> 36 The Board postponed making decisions on proposed project amendments in Years 2 through <br /> 37 5 that are intended to more fully offset the cost of advancing the Durham Tech Expansion <br /> 38 project into Years 1 — 3. The Board reviewed the proposed amendments at the September 10, <br /> 39 2020 work session, and provided direction to staff.

Therefore, Attachment 1 contains two <br /> 42 options. The first option is to implement the $250,000 reductions in Years 2 and 3. The second <br /> 43 option eliminates those reductions. <br /> 44 <br /> 45 The Vehicle Replacement project in the Capital Investment Plan has been used to replace <br /> 46 public safety vehicles. As a result, the $250,000 reduction in Years 2 and 3 would result in the <br /> 47 replacement of fewer vehicles in Emergency Services and the Sheriff's Office. If the reduction <br /> 48 were balanced evenly across those two agencies, Emergency Services would forgo one <br /> 49 ambulance remount or three supervisory vehicles scheduled for replacement over this two <br />
