7. Recognition
of Durham Chamber of Commerce?s Receipt of Governor?s Work First Business
Council Award
On December 11,
2000, the Greater Durham Chamber of Commerce received the Governor?s Work First
Business Council Award for Outstanding Chamber of Commerce/Chamber
Representative. Since March of 1991,
the Greater Durham Chamber of Commerce has enjoyed a mutual and rewarding
contractual relationship with the Department of Social Services to promote job
development for welfare recipients. In
1997, in an effort to increase the number of people sent to work and reduce its
welfare caseload, Durham DSS reorganized its Work First Program. The Chamber, under the direction of
President Tom White, took the lead as one of the collaborating community
partners to DSS in reaching out to businesses and encouraging them to hire Work
First participants. The Chamber also
contracted with DSS to place a job developer within the Work First
section. Not only has the department
reduced its Work First caseload by 52 percent from July 1997 to
July 2000, it has exceeded its employment goals every year. In FY 99-00, Durham placed 823 participants
into employment, surpassing the goal of 640.
The Chamber has played a key role in Durham?s performance.
Whenever a business is relocating to
the area, Mr. White is there to mention training or jobs for Work First
participants. Many companies have hired
Work First participants including Washington Duke, Durham Regional Hospital,
Duke University, Sheraton Imperial, IBM, Nortel Networks, Durham County, Glaxo,
Blue Cross Blue Shield, Marriott, Mantel, and Food Lion.
Mr. Linzie Atkins, the Chamber?s
Work First Job Developer, has enhanced the Work First program in building a
reputation of efficient, effective quality service to both clients and
employers. At the same time, he has
helped promote the image of Work First as a positive, productive program that
is an important part of the community and economic development.
Mr. White and his
staff have been supportive of the department during times of criticism and
celebration. We are fortunate in Durham
to have a Chamber of Commerce that is committed to assisting our welfare
families moving from welfare to self-sufficiency.
Resource Person(s): Dan
Hudgins, Director, Department of Social Services
County Manager's Recommendation: The
Manager recommends that the Board receive the presentation and extend sincere
congratulations to Mr. Tom White and the Greater Durham Chamber of Commerce for
earning this prestigious award. In
addition, thank them for their consistent support and dedicated efforts as a
partner in Durham?s Welfare to Work Program.

Public Hearings
9. Public
Hearing for C.A.I. Group, Ltd.--Applicant (Rezoning Case P99-56)
C.A.I. Group, Ltd. will present to the Board of
County Commissioners a request to rezone
3.341 acres located on the east side of Farrington Road, north of NC 54,
between Farrington and I-40, PIN #0708-01-47-5781 (TM 486-5-1E, NCDOT r/w being
bought; third piece without TM identification). The specific request is to rezone the property from R-20 to OI-2
(D); F/J-B, MTC. The proposal is in
conformance with the adopted small area plan and 2020 Plan. The Planning staff recommends approval. The Zoning Committee of the Durham Planning
Commission conducted a public hearing on September 12, 2000 and voted 0-7 to
recommend denial.
The development plan has changed since
the Zoning Committee hearing to reflect exclusion of retail uses otherwise
allowed in OI-2; the nudging over of buildings to maintain a minimum 40
feet-building setback; planting of additional material to in part replace
vegetative buffer lost by the buffer reduction; and a redesign of the
northernmost parking area.
The public
hearing for this request was advertised in the December 22 and 29, 2000 in the Durham
Herald-Sun.
Resource Person(s): Sheila
Stains-Ramp, Planning Supervisor, and Norman Standerfer, Planning Director
County Manager's Recommendation:
That the Board receive the presentation and approve, if appropriate, based on
the Board?s deliberations and public comment.
Commissioner Reckhow asked that additional information
(referring to the BOA order granting an adjustment to the buffer) be included
in cases like this to make the cases more clear in the future.
Chairman Black opened the Public Hearing. Speakers (in opposition) were Curtis Graves,
Tom Stark, John Eaddy, Ed Harrison, Raymond Melvin, and Debbie McCarthy. Mr. Spaulding spoke for the developer.
Chairman Black closed the Public Hearing and opened the
item for BOCC discussion. BOCC made
comments?Reckhow commented that the developer originally proposed only a 27,000
SF office building.
Commissioner
Reckhow moved, seconded by Commissioner Heron, to defer action on the item,
send it back to the Planning Department and planning Commission, and to
encourage the developer to work with the area residents.
The
motion carried unanimously.
10. Public Hearing on M/WBE Ordinance
Amendments
A public hearing is requested on the
proposed M/WBE ordinance. The proposed
M/WBE ordinance is based on the current M/WBE ordinance of the County with
changes in accordance with the disparity study done by Mason Tillman
Associates. The changes are being made
due to existing discrimination in the contracting arena in which the County
operates. One of these changes is the
changed goals from the current program.
To adopt the amended ordinance with the recommended goals, a public
hearing is required by G.S. 143-128.
Resource Person(s): S. C.
Kitchen, County Attorney
County Manager's Recommendation: Conduct
the public hearing on the amended ordinance as required by statute. Following the hearing and the receipt of
information on this ordinance, take action to adopt the ordinance, amend the
ordinance, or reject the ordinance as appropriate.
Chairman Black suggested staff work to design one (vendor ?)
application which could be used by either the City or County.
Chairman
Black opened the Public Hearing. Jack
Steer spoke to making the application identify whether applicants are Durham
residents or not. He also said it
should allow for its dissolution when no longer needed.
Chairman
Black closed the Public Hearing and opened the item to BOCC comment.
THE TAPE RAN OUT AT THIS TIME AND
THE MOTION, AS SPOKEN, WAS DIFFICULT TO FOLLOW. GO TO THE VIDEOTAPE TO HEAR THE FULL MOTION.)
Commissioner
Bowser moved, seconded by Commissioner Reckhow, to approve the item with a
friendly amendment by Commissioner Reckhow.
The
motion carried unanimously.
11. Resolution
Supporting A Joint Cost of Services Study With Wake And Orange Counties
Farmers in Durham
County and across the Research Triangle Region are facing increasing financial
challenges, both from global economic forces and from increasing
urbanization. Yet agriculture is an
important part of our rural economy and our rural heritage. As local governments begin to develop farm
protection programs, one type of report they often consider is a Cost of
Community Services Study (COCS).
A COCS study is an
analysis that divides all of the land in the community into separate
categories, and then compares the contributions that each category makes to
local government finances and the demands that it places on local government
services.
A COCS provides
information on the relative impact of farmland and other land uses on local
government finances.
The Triangle J
Council of Governments has proposed that Durham County join Orange and Wake
Counties and conduct a COCS study.
If Durham County
requests that the study be conducted without participation from the other
counties, the cost to Durham County would be $14,000. If the other counties participate, the cost to Durham County
would be $11,500.
Resource Person(s): Ben Hitchings
County
Manager's Recommendation: Receive the information and approve the
resolution if appropriate.
Commissioner
Reckhow moved, seconded by Commissioner Bowser, to refer this item to staff for
a recommendation?staff should find out what kind of resources would be in
order. This item would be a part of the budget cycle. (Bowser wanted a bid process to determine
who would do the study.)
The
motion carried unanimously.
12. Progress Update on Activities at the
Community Shelter for HOPE
On December 6, 1999, the Board of
Commissioners granted the County Manager approval to move forward with the
renovation and expansion plans for the Community Shelter for H.O.P.E. Since that time, staff has worked to
finalize a number of related tasks associated with the renovation and expansion
of the Shelter for H.O.P.E. project.
These tasks included: working through several legal issues associated
with the loan documents from the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency;
determining the County?s legal ability to continue funding the Shelter
operations under a faith-based merged entity; developing an interim operations
plan for the homeless population while renovations were underway; having a
successful capital campaign to fund the interim operations plan and furnish and
equip the new facility; getting plan approval for the project; and, finalizing
a number of easements and other administrative agreements.
In addition to these tasks, the
Shelter Board, in a retreat setting last summer, developed comprehensive
program elements to address many of the operational and service concerns raised
by community residents during the Board?s deliberations on the Shelter
Project. The new programming elements
were presented to the Board at the June 26, 2000 meeting and are scheduled for
implementation once the renovations are complete.
Staff, in conjunction with a number
of the project participants, will be present to provide the Board with an
update on the status of the project and to seek the Board?s approval on the
revised loan documents from the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency
(NCHFA). During the Board?s initial
discussions of this project, there was opposition to moving forward with the
renovation and expansion plans at the existing site.
Residents from the
Holloway Street Community, the Blooming Garden Bed and Breakfast, the Historic
Preservation Society, and Downtown Durham Inc. have expressed concern about the
location of the shelter project. The Board, upon making a decision to move
forward with the project, directed staff to work with the various interest
groups to incorporate their concerns into the overall design of the renovation
and development plans.
DTW Architectural
Firm has drafted and received plan approval for the Shelter project
design. The plan incorporates the
community input, enhances the livability and safety of the facility, and
improves the curbside appeal.

13. Durham Public School Board?s Offer of
Holloway Street School to BOCC
Hugh Osteen, Executive Director of
Facilities, Durham Public Schools
County Manager's Recommendation:
The Manager?s recommendation is that the Board decline the schools offer to
purchase the Holloway Street School in the amount of $898,000 to the extent that no County Department has identified a
use for the facility. The Schools have
agreed to sale the property under the condition that the tenants from Northeast
Central Durham are allowed to remain in the facility. Furthermore, the Shelter
Board has developed an interim solution for the homeless population during
shelter renovations and will not make use of Holloway Street School.
Commissioner Bowser wanted to make sure that the sale of the property
would not affect the tenants already on the property. Mr. Osteen assured him they would not be affected. Ms. Kathryn Meyers also assured the lease
would be honored.
Chairman
Black opened the floor for the signed speakers. Stephen Priest and Jacqueline Wagstaff spoke. At 11:00 p.m. the following motion was made.

Bd Chair discussed the bid process for
the school.
Commissioner
Reckhow moved, seconded by Commissioner Heron, to ask the school system to meet
with the NECD prior to committing to any sale process?the school board chairman
having agreed to honor the request to meet.
The
motion carried with a 4 to 1 vote.
(Bowser, voted no.)
14. Lease Agreement for 508 Gordon Street (Mental Health
Substance Abuse Halfway House)
The Board is
requested to authorize the execution of a lease agreement between the County
and Mr. Louis Niemeyer for the Mental Health Substance Abuse Halfway House
located at 508 Gordon Street. This item
was presented to the Board on
July 10, 2000, at which time it was pointed out that additional revisions would
be necessary. These revisions were
being arranged when the attorney for the Landlord sustained injuries resulting
from an automobile accident. The delay in presenting this item to the Board
again has resulted from that attorney?s extended recovery period.
On June 19, 2000,
the Area Mental Health Board of the Durham Center approved the extension of a
lease originally entered into on April 1, 1989. The original lease term was for 4 years, 3 months ending on June
30, 1993. It was renewed annually
through June 30, 2000. The property was
sold to Mr. Niemeyer in 1999.
Mr. Niemeyer honored the renewal through June 30, 2000, but insisted upon
having a new lease if the County desired to continue occupying the
premises. Since the expiration of the
last renewal, the County has effectively been holding over awaiting the
execution of the new lease. The new
lease agreement has a retroactive commencement date of July 16, 2000 and an
expiration date of July 31, 2001. This
agreement provides the County the option of renewing the lease for a period of
one additional year.
The two-story house
comprises four bedrooms, seven bathrooms, two offices, a gathering room, and
kitchen totaling approximately 3,124 square feet. The rent is $2,150.00 per month, annualized to $25,800.00--a
charge of $8.25/square foot. Funding
for this lease is included in the FY 00-01 budget. Rent during the optional renewal period--$2,258.00 per
month/$27,096 per year/$8.67 per square foot.
The Landlord shall
be responsible for all Durham City and Durham County real property ad valorem
taxes and assessments. The Landlord is
responsible for repairs and replacements to the premises and house (including
house equipment), roof, foundation, interior and exterior structural walls,
wiring, heating, air conditioning, and plumbing. Further, the Landlord shall be
responsible for fire and extended coverage insurance on the building and the
premises.
The County shall be
responsible for all daily and routine maintenance and repair to the premises
(interior and exterior), utilities, garbage, electrical, repair of the
interior, including but not limited to the paint and wall coverings, carpet,
and floor coverings. The security
system and monthly charges associated with the alarm, light equipment,
non-structural repairs and replacements, maintenance of the lawn, and cleaning
expenses will be paid by the County.
The County shall be responsible for any routine service for the HVAC and
routine plumbing. The County will not
be responsible for any routine service for the HVAC if said service exceeds
$2,000 per year.
The County Attorney has approved
this lease as to form.
Resource Person(s): Bill
Martin, Real Property Manager, and Alvin Johnson, Halfway House Manager
County Manager's Recommendation: The
Manager?s recommendation is that the Board authorize the execution of this
lease in accordance with the attached agreement.
15. Resolution and Bond Order
|
The Board of Commissioners
approved a resolution at its last meeting to refund certain general
obligation bonds. The savings were
predicted to be approximately $2,783,854.00.
The Board is now requested to approve an additional
resolution making certain required findings of fact and to introduce a bond
order which sets a public hearing for February 12, 2001.
|

County Manager's Recommendation: Adopt
the resolution and bond order to move the process forward.

16. Approval of Construction Contract for the Carmichael
Building Rooftop
Air-Conditioning Units Replacement--Project IFB# 01-018
|
The Board is
requested to authorize the County Manager to enter into a contract with
Carolina Air-Conditioning Company Inc. in the amount of $388,800.00 for
replacement of the Carmichael Building rooftop air-conditioning units and
appurtenances and to execute any change orders, if necessary, not to exceed a
project cost of $410,000.00, which is less than the estimated project cost of
$440,000.00.
The Carmichael Building
air-conditioning equipment and controls were installed in 1984. Major components of the current system are
four rooftop units with a capacity of 50 tons each. Several failures have occurred and have been repaired; more are
expected unless the equipment is replaced.
Utilizing more efficient cooling equipment will reduce maintenance and
energy costs for this building and improve reliability.
The Carmichael Building rooftop
air-conditioning units replacement project was advertised in local newspapers
on November 11, 2000; a Pre-Bid Conference was held on November 21, 2000 at
10:00 A.M. One bid was received on
December 12, 2000 at 3:00 p.m. but was not opened because three bids were not
received. The project was
re-advertised on December 15, 2000 and one bid was received, publicly opened,
and read on January 04, 2001 at 3:00 p.m.
Carolina
Air-Conditioning Company Inc. submitted the lowest price of $398,800.00 for
the construction of replacing the air-conditioning units, etc.; this amount
was negotiated to $388,800.00. The
Engineering Department has reviewed the bid proposal with Ish Sud Ph.D., P.E.
of Sud Associates P.A., the project engineers, and recommends that the County
proceed with the work and award the contract to the low bidder.
Funding is available for this
project in the Carmichael Building Pay-As-You-Go account. Completion of this project will provide a
reliable cooling system and reduce energy and maintenance costs for the
building by replacing equipment that has reached the end of its useful life.

Shobande, Project Manager, Engineering Department.
County Manager's Recommendation:
The Manager?s recommendation is that the Board authorize the execution of the
contract with Carolina Air-Conditioning Company Inc. in the amount of
$388,800.00 and authorize the County Manager to execute change orders, if
necessary, not to exceed $21,200.00.
17. Approval of Construction Contract for the Carmichael
Building Roof Replacement--Project IFB# 01-013
The
Board is requested to authorize the County Manager to enter into a contract
with Owens Roofing Inc. in the amount of $379,061.00 for the construction of
the new roof system at the Carmichael Building and to execute any change
orders, if necessary, not to exceed project cost of $416,967.00, which is less
than the estimated project cost of $473,000.00.
The existing
Carmichael Building roof was installed in 1981 and has reached the end of its
useful life. Several failures have
occurred and have been repaired; more are expected unless the roof is
replaced. The amount of roof area
requiring repair exceeds the area for which patching is practical. (Patching will not prevent leaks from
continuing.) The completion of this
project is required to protect the building interior and occupants.
The Carmichael
Building roof replacement project was advertised in local newspapers on
November 11, 2000. A Pre-Bid Conference
was held on November 21, 2000 at 10:00 a.m.
Nine bids were received, publicly opened, and read on December 12, 2000
at 2:00 p.m.
Owens Roofing Inc. submitted the
lowest price of $379,061.00 for the construction of the new roof system. The Engineering Department has reviewed the
bid proposals with Jeff Spady, RRC of CTL Engineering Inc., the project
designer, and recommends that the County proceed with the work and award the
contract to the low bidder, Owens Roofing Inc.
Funding is available for this
project in the Carmichael Building Pay-As-You-Go Account. Completion of this project will provide a
reliable roof system for the building by replacing the existing roof that has
reached the end of its useful life.
