99 <br />Judith Wegner. Could you change it to workers in Orange County if that is what is meant. I agree with Jeff that they <br />are trying to clarify high quality means but I would rather have high quality because I don't there is authority to specify <br />that. <br />MorroN made by Judith Wegner to change Number 16 to keep the first 3 lines and after "to enable workers in Orange <br />County to obtain high quality jobs". Seconded by Jeffrey Schmitt. <br />Michelle Kempinski: I would like to offer a friendly amendment that might clarify the intent. "Form partnership with <br />Durham Technical Community College, UNC Chapel Hill, Orange County Schools and others to coordinate training <br />and education with careers in Orange County that pay living income and benefits." <br />Judith Wegner. That is too confusing. <br />MOTION made by Judith Wegner to change Number 16 (Objective ED-3.3) to "Form partnerships with Durham <br />Technical Community College, UNC Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill/Carrboro Schools, Orange County Schools, and others <br />to coordinate adequate training and education to enable workers in Orange County to obtain high quality jobs." <br />Seconded by Jeffrey Schmitt. <br />VorE: Unanimous <br />Renee Price: Tom, if you could wordsmith number 17, the last line. <br />Judith Wegner. I think Tom is looking for specifics. Creation of local enterprises. <br />Jay Bryan: Was there a motion to make a change? <br />Jeffrey Schmitt: I would vote to delete the whole thing. <br />MOTION made by Renee Price to change Number 17 to keep the first 3 lines and after "to enable workers in Orange <br />County to obtain high quality jobs and creation of local enterprises". Seconded by Judith Wegner. <br />Judith Wegner. Jeff stated he wanted to delete the whole thing so either we withdraw this and vote on that. <br />Jay Bryan: They are going to withdraw that motion for you, Jeff, to make a motion to delete it if you wish. <br />MOTION made by Jeffrey Schmitt to delete ED-3.6 in its entirety. Seconded by Craufurd Goodwin. <br />Larry Wright: I want to know what is being said before we vote. I don't know how it could be done and what they are <br />trying to say. <br />Tom Alfieri: I can offer one thing and that is the portion of the statement "that are good for the environment" was <br />something that I added, the term "green collar" jobs is what was suggested by the public. Through some Internet <br />research, green collar jobs can generally be defined as those that are good for the environment. <br />Larry Wright: I think my question has been answered. <br />MOTION made by Jeffrey Schmitt to delete ED-3.6 in its entirety. Seconded by Craufurd Goodwin. <br />VorE: Passed (6-1) <br />Jay Bryan: Tom, basically, if they are willing to clarify it better, we could entertain it. Let's move to page 8. <br />
