Browse Search

2 Addationally, the Condominium Agreement describes the structure by which the Drakeford will be managed and the relationship between the owners. The agreement establishes an Executive Board, whose members include the Orange County County Manager and the Town of Carrboro Town Manager. Memorandum of Understanding Like the temporary MOU previously approved by the Board in January 2025, the current MOU broadly outlines the facility's operating principles as agreed to by Orange County and the Town of Carrboro. Both parties have agreed to several changes in the current MOU, including: • The Town of Carrboro will be responsible for providing security services at the facility. • Early and same-day voting each year will occur in the large multi-purpose rooms on the ground floor. • The County and Town will agree on a comprehensive Conduct and Courtesy plan. • The County and Town will continue to collaborate on a policy and procedures manual that will be used to run the day-to-day operations of the facility. FINANCIAL IMPACT: This item has no direct financial impact, as the County's costs to operate Drakeford were included in the County Manager's Recommended FY 2025-26 budget. ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLAN: This item supports: • MISSION STATEMENT — Orange County is a visionary leader in providing governmental services valued by our community, beyond those required by law, in an equitable, sustainable, innovative and efficient way. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board; 1.) Approve the Condominium Agreement, Deeds, and Plat for the Drakeford Library Complex; 2.) Approve the Memorandum of Understanding between Orange County and the Town of Carrboro for the operation of the Drakeford Library Complex; and 3.) Authorize the County Manager to sign all required documents and record all instruments, upon final review by the County Attorney.
