1 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date : June 21 , 2022 <br /> Action Agenda <br /> Item No . 8 - s <br /> SUBJECT . Regulation of Gatherings on and near School Property and Public Playgrounds <br /> DEPARTMENT : Board of Commissioners <br /> ATTACHMENT ( S ) N. INFORMATION CONTACT . <br /> Draft Ordinance John Roberts , County Attorney , 245 - <br /> Resolution 2318 <br /> PURPOSE : To present for second reading an ordinance regulating picketing on or within 1 , 000 <br /> feet of school property and public playgrounds . <br /> BACKGROUND : The Board of Commissioners requested information on how the County may <br /> regulate protests or large gatherings in Orange County . The Board initially received information <br /> on this subject at its February 1 , 2022 Business meeting . At that meeting the Board discussed <br /> many aspects of this type of regulation including prohibiting large gatherings on certain public <br /> school properties . The Board further discussed this topic at its May 10 , 2022 work session . At <br /> that work session the Board determined parades would not be regulated and provided further <br /> direction to the County Attorney to be brought back to the Board for future consideration . At the <br /> June 2 , 2022 work session , the Board determined to move forward with an ordinance prohibiting <br /> picketing on School Property . The agenda materials for each prior discussion may be viewed at <br /> the links above . <br /> Pursuant to the Board ' s prior discussions and input , the County Attorney revised the draft <br /> ordinance which generally provides as follows : <br /> • Only covers Picketing conducted on , or within 1 , 000 feet of, School Property and Public <br /> Playgrounds ; <br /> • Declares violations to be subject to a monetary fine , equitable relief , or trespass <br /> depending on the facts and circumstances . <br /> Recent changes to North Carolina law provide that when a local ordinance involves a potential <br /> criminal penalty , the ordinance may not be adopted at the meeting at which it is first introduced . <br /> Such an ordinance may only be adopted at the next regular meeting following its introduction . <br /> Because one potential penalty of this ordinance is trespass , which is a statutory misdemeanor , <br /> this ordinance may only be adopted at its second reading . First reading for this proposed <br /> ordinance occurred at the Board ' s June 7 , 2022 Business meeting . <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT . There is no financial impact associated with this item . <br />
