16 <br /> billing practices to establish pricing policies, potential waivers and debt forgiveness <br /> opportunities to assist impacted customers; <br /> 46)Evictions Information Detailed in Credit Reports — Support legislation that would <br /> remove an eviction from a tenant's credit report (1) that occurred as a result of the <br /> pandemic during the period covered by the Governor's State of Emergency Declaration; <br /> and (2) after having been on a tenant's credit report for three years; <br /> 47)Food Resiliency and Supply Chain Initiatives — Support food resiliency and supply <br /> chain initiatives and funding for equipment, supplies, and other nonrecurring expenses <br /> based on the urgency and need created by the COVID pandemic. The average food <br /> insecurity rate across North Carolina counties is 14 percent, with that rate projected to <br /> rise to 19.3 percent due to the COVID pandemic, and from 19.3 percent to 28 percent <br /> for children. A more secure and resilient supply chain will benefit residents and better <br /> prepare the State for emergencies that adversely impact the State's food supply; <br /> 48)E-911 Funds — Support maintaining and broadening applications of the NC 9-1-1 Fund <br /> to ensure that 9-1-1 systems are able to upgrade existing performance levels and pay <br /> for 9-1-1 operations and 9-1-1 related upgrades such as infrastructure and technology <br /> enhancements. Orange County has appreciated past efforts and supports future <br /> initiatives to assure the public receives full access to emergency services from all <br /> sources; and <br /> 49)Dangerous Dogs Determinations — Support legislation to amend the NC Dangerous <br /> Dog Law to allow dangerous-dog declarations to be revoked after a period of time, and <br /> when there is substantial justification for doing so, in order that a dog does not <br /> needlessly live its entire life with restrictions such as being muzzled. Orange County's <br /> ordinance includes this language, but that consideration is meaningless without a <br /> parallel provision within State law. <br /> Renee Price, Chair <br /> Recorded by Laura Jensen, Clerk to the Board <br /> Submitted for approval by Laura Jensen, Clerk to the Board. <br />
