This area has wonderful arts, music, nature, sports, educational, commerce, and historic experiences that make it a great place to both live and visit. It would be an honor to be able to participate in helping raise the profile, spread the word, and carry out the goals of the Visitors Bureau. Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: As someone who has technically been a new resident of the area three different times, I am able to both speak to the changes of the area over time and to see the area with fresh eyes. I have lived in rural Orange County (near Murphy School Road), in Carrboro, and now in Chapel Hill (Little Ridgefield neighborhood), and I am a fierce advocate of the positive aspects of the County.

Mr. Thom Freeman-Stuart Deputy Clerk Orange County Board of County Commissioners 200 S. Cameron St. Hillsborough, NC 27278

Dear Mr. Freeman-Stuart:

The Orange County Housing Authority (OCHA) Board voted in September over email (due to COVID restrictions preventing an in-person meeting) to recommend the appointment of new Board members Mr. Adejuwon Ojebuoboh and Dr. Michael Webb.

The OCHA Board cited both applicants’ experience with local government in their decisions. Mr. Ojebuoboh is a student specializing in economic development and brings an international perspective to local proceedings, having lived in three countries over the course of his young life. Dr. Webb directs research at UNC’s Center for Urban and Regional Studies, and already has a relationship with community partners CEF and OCPEH in his pursuit of developing a web app to help families locate affordable housing. The Board respectfully requests that the OC Board of County Commissioners consider the appointment of these individuals.

Sincerely,

Blake Rosser Housing Choice Voucher Program Manager Orange County and Housing Community Development Department [email protected]

I am taking courses revealing the financial institutions and economic factors that make up the vast community of business in Orange County. My business education will enable me to work cohesively with the Countyâ€™s Economic Development staff and faithfully execute the mission of the Economic Development Advisory Board. I have served in local government as a member of the Onslow County Juvenile Crime Prevention Council where I collaborated with community stakeholders to improve youth diversion programs for delinquents and child offenders. I have also served as Chairman of the Jacksonville City Youth Council where I oversaw operations of the city-wide council. We provided professional and leadership development to teenagers and served as the official youth voice of the city. Also, for three years, I advocated youth representation in state government in meetings with NC Senate Majority Leader Harry Brown, State Representative Phil Shepard, NC Secretary of Administration Michelle Sanders, and NC Lieutenant Governor Dan Forest. I developed close connections with staffers in the NC General Assembly and in Governor Cooperâ€™s Administration. In addition, I served as a Governorâ€™s Page, able to interact with instrumental staff in Cooperâ€™s administration and further strengthen bonds Iâ€™ve formed throughout North Carolina state government. As Executive Director of the Institute for Effective Change, I met with Congressmen across the state including Mark Meadows, David Rouzer, the Late Walter B. Jones, and G.K. Butterfield. Additionally, I was recognized by Governor Cooper as an outstanding volunteer and steward of community in 2018. I am equipped and excited to serve 61

Page 2 of 3 Adejuwon Ojebuoboh Orange County on the Economic Development Advisory Board! Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I am passionate about serving the community I reside in. I have resided in Nigeria, Canada, and North Carolina and have seen the structure of local government on various scales. Iâ€™ve witnessed the self-serving cynicism of some city management, but Iâ€™ve also interacted with dutiful local policymakers who always put the communityâ€™s needs before their own. I wish to emulate the latter, on the Economic Development Advisory Board. As a black male, I provide a diverse perspective on the issues facing Orange County and can contribute to the economic growth of this beautiful town. All in All, I want to serve this County! Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board:

Conflict of Interest:

Orange County Housing Authority Background, education and experience relevant to this board: My time on the Affordable Housing Advisory Board (AHAB) has shown me how little I know about the issues facing Orange County. My urban planning coursework at UNC, my Real Estate novels, and my financial work in New York have not equipped me to better serve the citizens of Orange County. All the accolades, awards, and certifications that fill my resume donâ€™t qualify me to serve on the Orange County Housing Authority (OCHA). Itâ€™s the 4-hour due diligence I undertook to understand the Housing Choice Voucher program, the 90 minutes I spent perusing through Orange County eviction data, and my $30 devotion to Uber to & from AHAB meetings is what makes me qualified to serve on OCHA. My drive to learn as much as I can and apply this knowledge to further the interests of the underprivileged of Orange County is the only experience that is truly relevant to this board. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: There is only one reason I want to serve on this board: to foster Effective Change. I have enjoyed my time on the Affordable Housing Advisory Board but I want to have a more direct, effective impact on the implementation and execution of housing policy in Orange County. The Orange County Housing Authority (OCHA) enables me to do so. By overseeing the charge of providing decent, safe, and sanitary housing for low- and moderate-income families, OCHA will allow me to foster tangible effective change in our community. The closer I am able to be to the people who are affected by these inequities, the more impact I believe I am able to have. Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: As an 18-year-old student born in North Carolina, raised in Nigeria and Canada, and spent my most recent years back North Carolina, I have seen firsthand the tremendous impact policy execution has on peopleâ€™s lives. Whether it was the crippling greed-filled sanctions of Nigerian sponsored oil or the negligence of community leaders in Eastern North Carolina or the impertinent opposition in Canadian provinces, the ground-level implementation of policy is where genuine change occurs. Having this global perspective as a black man in America enables me to contribute a contrarian, objectivist, and empathetic viewpoint to the diversity of the Orange County Housing Authority.

Year of OC Residence: 2013 Township of Residence: Zone of Residence: Gender Identity: Male Ethnic Background: White Age Range: 18-34 Community Activities/Organizational Memberships: I have volunteered with the Community Empowerment Fund. Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards: None Boards/Commissions applied for: Orange County Housing Authority Background, education and experience relevant to this board: I currently work for the Center for Urban and Regional Studies at UNC, where I direct evaluations of affordable housing policies (including the Section 8/HCV program). In that role, I have become very familiar with the programs offered by OCHA, and I believe that expertise would be a welcome addition to the board.

Beyond that experience, I am also a current renter in Orange County. As such, I am keenly aware of the challenges faced by renters in our very hot housing market, including stiff competition for units and ever-increasing rents. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: Firstly, I am passionate about issues of affordable housing, especially increasing access to affordable housing for households with Section 8 vouchers (HCVs). To that end, I am currently partnering with OCHA and other local non-profits (including the Community Empowerment Fund and Orange County Partnership to End Homelessness) to develop a webapp to help low-income families access housing in opportunity neighborhoods.

I am also interested in serving on this board as I have seen many landlords in Orange County (including my current one) stop accepting Section 8 vouchers because they view OCHA as a difficult partner. I know that OCHA has new leadership, and I think that the energy that new leadership provides + an active and engaged board could help improve OCHA s reputation in the community and encourage more landlords to accept Section 8 vouchers. Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: 64

Page 2 of 2 Michael Webb This is difficult to answer given that I am not familiar with the diversity and viewpoints offered by current members of the board. Nonetheless, I believe that the combination of my experience and knowledge of affordable housing programs, alongside my first-hand knowledge of challenges faced by renters in Orange County, would provide a unique viewpoint on the board.

MEMORANDUM

TO: Thom Freeman-Stuart, Deputy Clerk I, Board of County Commissioners FROM: Perdita Holtz, Planner III - Planning Systems Coordinator DATE: January 14, 2021 SUBJECT: Planning Board Reappointments

Every year the terms of four Planning Board positions expire on March 31. This year, one of the expiring positions is currently vacant due to a resignation in 2020. Two of the remaining three members are eligible for reappointment and have indicated to me that they are interested in continuing to serve on the Planning Board. The fourth member, Patricia Roberts, has served the maximum number of terms permissible under the advisory board policy. Ms. Roberts is the Cheeks Township representative and it is my understanding that the County Clerk’s office currently has no applicants from Cheeks Township but has advertised for applicants.

Advisory Board policy and Section 1.6.2 of the Unified Development Ordinance allows a member whose term has expired to continue to serve on the Board until his/her successor has been appointed, up to one additional year. Ms. Roberts has indicated to me that she is willing and able to continue to serve for an additional year as the Cheeks Township representative, if authorized by the BOCC.

The following two members are interested in being reappointed to the Planning Board:

• Carrie Fletcher (Bingham Township representative) for her second term • Melissa Poole (Little River Township representative) for her first full term; she was originally appointed to fill a partial term

Additionally, there is a second vacancy on the Planning Board due to a resignation (the former member moved out of state) for a term that expires on 3/31/22. Both vacant positions are at-large positions.

If you need any additional information on this topic, please do not hesitate to contact me. 90

Page 2 of 2 Melissa Poole What unique perspective can you bring to the Orange County Planning Board? I bring a national view and strong business experience to the planning board. What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to accomplish if appointed? My thoughts are it is the responsibility of the board to enact positive growth within the county. Also, working to make the process as seamless as possible. This is the introductory face of the county if someone is wanting to come to OC. What do you consider to be be the most important issues facing Orange County related to growth? Infrastructure. What role should the Planning Board take in guiding and regulating growth? The planning board should be heavily involved in guiding and regulating growth, without stemming growth. How would you, as a member of the Planning Board, contribute to the implementation of the Board of Commissioners' adopted Goals and Priorities?

I have to create a budget and am responsible for a P&L. My previous volunteer as the Treasurer at church has certainly given me the experience with budgeting and planning. I work with contracts ever day in my job and held a Director of Contracts role, in a healthcare organization.

Incremental review and evaluation. Again as a new member it would be a learning curve.

Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards: none Boards/Commissions applied for: Orange County Climate Council Background, education and experience relevant to this board: When I lived in Sebastopol California, I was a founding member and active organizer of a local bicycle and pedestrian advocacy organization (BikeWalk Sebastopol).

Conflict of Interest:

Orange County Planning Board (REQUIRES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT) Background, education and experience relevant to this board: When I lived in Sebastopol California, I worked for an architect for a number of years gaining an understanding of the construction industry and local planning requirements and also organizing and running a LEED green building certification project.

While completing my Masters in Industrial Design at NCSU I took a number of classes in Landscape Architecture (one specifically that looked at local planning requirements) as well as a course titled Biodiversity Conservation in Urban Regions.

With these courses and prior experience I know how planning policy impacts our environment and the way we live. I am interested in helping guide this process to become more considerate of the environment and of a diverse range of human needs and experiences. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I would like to be a new pragmatic environmentalist voice on the committee. I am interested in helping craft planning policy that pushes for a more sustainable vision of the future. Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: I have a background in performing arts and design as well as experience going through the planning and building process while working for a green architect in California. I can represent the art and aesthetic side of planning grounded in an understanding of the concrete needs of planners, developers and contractors.

Having been a small business owner myself, I have a sensibility to the requirements and demands of businesses. I also have participated in bicycle and pedestrian advocacy (and my small business was a bicycle shop), so I can ask good questions about transportation and infrastructure needs.

I am white and middle class now, but in middle school and high school I lived in affordable housing apartment complexes with my single mother so I also have a personal interest in providing low income housing in the area.

I feel my diversity of experience, as well as my interest in understanding different perspectives, would be of value to the planning board. Conflict of Interest:

Boards/Commissions applied for:

Orange Unified Transportation Board Background, education and experience relevant to this board: Specifically, I can create tremendous value for Orange Unified Transportation Board in three nuanced ways:

First, I understand identifying and approaching professionals for cooperative partnerships is usually much more than just talking numbers and market factors. I am cognizant of the economic, personal, political, and public perception implications a deal can have. Through my own negotiations, I have learned about the importance of timing, and empathy within any deal. While working with the board I plan to use my strong interpersonal skills to work effectively with board members and community partners to accomplish our goals.

Second, I have practical experience on how deals are found, developed, and completed. I understand the various types of value advantages a deal can produce. Beyond the scope of the law, I can read and build pro-forma breakeven analysis charts, cash flow projections, and have a working concept of some corporate financing tools. Through the Entrepreneur Lab class (Spring 2017 Section), I will gain more hands-on experience working with start-up founders, growth executives, and venture capit alists. This work will advise me on how we can better foster these relationships and growths going forward in the planning of Orange County. The business skills 113

Page 2 of 4 David Mansor learned will continue to round my perspective and insight for my responsibilities on the board. I want to bring these business skills and my strong interpersonal abilities to the Board.

Third, I understand how enthusiasm is essential and contagious in the work place; it breathes life into everything. As a successful door-to-door insurance salesman, I learned the value of enthusiasm combined with the habit of happily doing more than you are asked can create previously nonexistent opportunities. I plan to bring these two habits to my membership on the board, and keep momentum up.

I desire to be on the Orange Unified Transportation Board, because of the Orange Countyâ€™s emphasis on innovation, and growth over the next twenty years. For me, an opportunity to add value to the incredible on-going work at in Orange County will be a long-term investment in the organization, and my commitment to be a Tar-Heel.

Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I am a JD/MBA student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I would like to get involved in helping your team to implement the Durham-Orange Light Rail project. With my background in entrepreneurship and the law, I could be a tremendous free asset for your team to utilize. I have attached a resume, and included my Linkedin HTML link so you can verify my abilities to execute and work on high level projects.

Over the next four years I will be in the area pursing a JD/MBA, and would love an opportunity to work on this project throughout all four years.

Thank you for your time. I look forward to speaking soon.

What unique perspective can you bring to the Orange County Planning Board? 115

Page 4 of 4 David Mansor

My life experiences distinguish me from other candidates.

I am determined to be successful despite growing up with two parents who suffer from drug addictions. I have overcome spending my middle school years living in a crack house with my little brother John. After raising my brother in that environment for nearly two years, my house was raided by SWAT and we were placed in a Child Protective Services (CPS) group home. The group home was toxic, we were abused, and no one expected us to succeed.

However, I learned that you need to be aware of the opportunities that exist through creative application of rules and regulations. CPS allocates funds per child for living expenses, and by leveraging CPSâ€™s resources in combination with private scholarships, we were able to get out of the group home for the summers. Fortunately, my brother received three scholarships to attend a summer camp in the Adirondack Mountains. I was privileged to participate in three programs: a service trip to build a cafeteria in Belize, an exchange trip to China, and even spent a summer at Harvard. I want to apply my ability to identify creative strategies has enabled me to see tremendous opportunities that have been overlooked.

My unique background would certainly bring a fresh perspective to the school. I firmly believe that â€œhard work beats talent, when talent does not hustleâ€â€“ Justin Wu. Every day was as struggle, and I worked tremendously hard to get where I am today. I still struggle to figure out: why we have the resources and knowledge to solve the worldâ€™s problems, but do not? Like the world, my parents had everything, and self-destructively lost it all to bad habits. I am passionate about solving these problems, and overcoming societyâ€™s bad habits.

What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to accomplish if appointed? The board s responsibilities are to make decisions that benefit the entire county s needs for economic growth, infrastructure development, and improvements in Orange County s overall quality of life.

What do you consider to be be the most important issues facing Orange County related to growth?

The Orange-Durham Light Rail Project

What role should the Planning Board take in guiding and regulating growth?

The Planning board should take a strong role in facilitating cooperation between politicians, private business, and non-for-profits to make progress in the following areas: public transportation, education, affordable housing, and public health.

How would you, as a member of the Planning Board, contribute to the implementation of the Board of Commissioners' adopted Goals and Priorities?

What unique perspective can you bring to the Orange County Planning Board?

Being a young, but relevantly educated resident, I have a strong sense of the years to come and the need for good, long-term planning.

What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to accomplish if appointed? I think the responsibility of the board is to assist local governance by providing foresight in the development and use of public assets. If appointed, I hope to help guide the community along a thriving path for future success.

What do you consider to be be the most important issues facing Orange County related to growth? 118

Page 3 of 3 Joseph Parrish As part of the ever-growing Triangle, I see issues such transportation, housing, and education being vitally important. We must successfully tackle these issues for the purpose of accommodating higher levels of commerce, growing neighborhoods, and the needs of the children that live in these growing neighborhoods.

What role should the Planning Board take in guiding and regulating growth?

To make an effective plan for any group or organization, you need to be a step ahead. The Planning Board should therefore take a leading, proactive role in guiding and developing growth. It has to set the pace.

Additionally, we should have a role at the end of the process, in order to hear feedback from other entities and determine how successful our planning as been so far. Foresight requires hindsight.

How would you, as a member of the Planning Board, contribute to the implementation of the Board of Commissioners' adopted Goals and Priorities?

I would be a part of those informing the Board of Commissioners about what those things should be. Once those goals and priorities are handed to us, it would be up to us to envision how to make them possible, much like how orders are passed along in the military to next level down.

Familiar with basic OC planning regulations, ordinances. Citizen participant in economic development zone discussions early 2000 s.

Have actively participated in numerous Chapel Hill and Carrboro land-use issues - notably initial Comprehensive Plan rework, UNC s Carolina North development agreement, small area planning process (Central West, Ephesus Church, 15-501 Corridor, Glenn Lennox, CH2020, Rogers Road ETJ, Ephesus-Fordham form-based code district, etc.) over the last 17 years. I was involved in the UNC airport relocation discussions, became more familiar with rural Orange County development concerns as a member of OWASA and gave feedback on spurring economic development county-wide during several of the preliminary Orange County EDD discussions (and am interested in how those districts are evolving). Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: Orange County is now implementing a refined UDO and new economic policies that will have far reaching effects on land-use planning. I would like to serve as a conduit for citizen input and take a more active role in reviewing these new changes to help the BOCC get the best results for their initiatives.

Page 2 of 3 Will Raymond Orange County Broadband Task Force Background, education and experience relevant to this board: I am a computer technologist with over 46 years of professional experience. I currently work developing a cloud-based analytical platform to help organizations make better decisions based on statistical and probability based models.

In terms of communications technologies, I worked at Northern Telecom (Nortel) for 7 years and was involved in developing their communication products. I was CTO of Blast, Inc., a company that developed and sold multi-platform communications software. I developed several key technologies for Interactive Intelligence's "callcenter in the Cloud" products and, just recently at Cumulus Networks, developed "white box" large scale networking products which uses cutting-edge software to manage Internet connectivity, broadband and BGP control-plane interfaces.

As a member of Chapel Hill's for Technology Advisory Board, I worked to expand access to the internet and similar technology for our community.

Prior to joining and then subsequently through that board, I initiated and then championed a plan for a community-owned municipal broadband system.

While the Town did not move fast enough to avoid restrictions implemented by the NC Republican controlled legislature on municipal broadband, I did succeed in convincing the Town to team up with the NC-DOT to drop a secondary fiber loop - which cut the cost to pennies on the dollar - when NC-DOT rewired the 190+ signalized intersections in Chapel Hill & part of Carrboro.

As a consequence, community-owned infrastructure expanded the capabilities of the local school system, the local governments and further expedited service improvements to our local public affordable housing units.

I was also involved in connecting under-served households in our community to Internet service both via direct access, wireless and improvements in connectivity at the Hargraves Center.

Further, I advocated for the development of a wireless Internet access plan for Downtown Chapel Hill which was partially implemented.

Beyond my service on the Technology Advisory Board, I also pushed for a comprehensive connectivity standard for new large-scale and affordable housing projects through my service on multiple land-use planning related advisory boards and initiatives.

Finally, as a member of the OWASA Board, I was part of the negotiations for expanding the county's access to the OWASA infrastructure for wireless communications. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: Access to communications, as the COVID19 pandemic has shown, is a key determinant for folks well-being. With the changing economic landscape, now more than ever limited access can affect ones educational, vocational and social opportunities. I want to help bridge these divides. I believe that given my background, I am well-positioned to help our community to successfully fill the gaps sooner than later. Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: I will bring a community-oriented approach and a history of advocacy to this effort. I have a strong technical background that I would use to help make sure the choices our board would make will not only serve our current needs but will provide a solid foundation for evolving to meet future needs. Having worked with many of our under-served communities 122

Page 3 of 3 Will Raymond to improve access to health, education and housing services, I know that even in our relatively wealthy community there are some sharp needs - needs that many residents are not aware of. The folks that most need this kind of access will be the ones I want to champion. Conflict of Interest: No professional or other interests that would cause a conflict.

BOCC Elections Advisory Group Background, education and experience relevant to this board: Been involved in local elections 20+ years. Have worked with and for OC BOE as poll-worker. Extensive experience with OC BOE in terms of campaign finance, oversight, campaign finance monitoring/compliance, reporting and reports, data management and transparency. Advocate for CH Voter-Owned elections. Former CH Council candidate. Appeared with Moses Carey multiple times to debate OC districting. Pushed for further reforms like cumulative voting, non-partisan elections both then and through today (prefer ranked choice over cumulative). Have worked on numerous campaigns last 40 years. Registered thousands of voters. Been a poll-sitter, observer for OC Dems. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: Interested in broadening voter participation and providing more diversity in candidate choices. Want to see reforms that are inclusive instead of divisive. Look at improving transparency, accountability and efficiency in voting process. Increase citizen oversight of process. Loosen hold of local special interests on process and outcome. Increase accessibility to the ballot and ability for what will be largest voting bloc - unaffiliated voters - to choose the candidates they want to vote for. Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: I will bring an experienced and unique insight into our local politics and political landscape. I understand the current process. I know the history of how we got to today s process and will help craft a vision of where OC wants to go that is aligned with our residents values and desires. Conflict of Interest:

I have served on this board for 2-years and have enjoyed being a part of the process. I also have several years of architectural background in civic/justice projects at the state and local level. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: As a resident of Hillsborough and Orange County for over 5-years, it is important to me to understand how I can help the community understand the process.

Page 2 of 2 Jeff Scott Affordable Housing Advisory Board Background, education and experience relevant to this board: As an architect, affordable housing is always a critical topic of concern. I practiced in residential architecture at the beginning of my career. I have also volunteered with Habitat for Humanity in Charlotte, Asheville, and Raleigh/Durham. My previous experience working with general contractors and construction managers also allows me to understand the ramifications of costing, constructability, and project management. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: Affordable housing is a very important and apt topic locally and nationally. As an active professional in this region, I continue to see how this area is being shaped for both the positive and negative. Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: I believe that the diversity I could bring to the Affordable Housing Advisory Board could certainly be an asset for Orange County. Having lived in other communities in this state (Asheville, Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham), as well as having spent time studying abroad in Italy and Germany, I have seen a variety of strategies that address housing. In many instances this housing has been shaped by how the urban or rural fabric is shaped. Orange County has the opportunity to really be a leader in driving affordable housing strategies forward as the county grapples with issues of growth and long-term planning strategies. I have seen this while working on single- family and multi-family residential projects and how the divide between building types is critical.

Having seen how other communities grapple with affordable housing is also very important to me. Affordable housing is always a very difficult and contentious topic. I have previously been a part of a design/build architectural studio that focused solely on designing and building a home for a low-income family. I have seen how carefully and thoughtfully the process can be executed. Much of the process comes down to creating an architecture of decency for the people that inhabit these homes.

In addition, I have lived in two different areas of Orange Co where broadband was available and where it is not, so have directly experienced the benefits and detriments of availability.

Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: This is an important opportunity to help Orange Co. find alternative solutions to a problem that should have been solved long ago. While some solutions may no longer be within the ability of OC to solve, that does not mean we should not consider other methods of bring broadband to the rural parts of OC. Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: As a resident that has experienced both sides of the broadband issue, I can relate first hand to issues involved.

Page 2 of 2 Whtiney Watson Orange County Planning Board (REQUIRES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT) Background, education and experience relevant to this board: My interest in planning began in college through majors in sociology and anthropology. I read quite a bit about organization of cities and communities including needed infrastructure. Since college I have lived in multiple cities and towns across the US and have experienced how those entities attempted to provide a better place for their citizens to live and work. I now serve as exhibition designer for the NC Museum of History. I am constantly reminded of how our past created our present and influences our future. Exhibitions must make similar choices as planners; allocating space, providing engaging experiences, allowing for exploration and education within the available resources of time and money. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: Having grown up in Elon College and in the intervening years seen the development overtake that humble and friendly town, I wanted to bring some of that perspective and my own experience to the discussion of how my community will grow. Recent experiences in Cheeks Township with the new developments along Lebanon Rd in particular make me want to be part of the conversation with citizens, developers, and governmental leaders. Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: I know that my ethnicity and age put me into the majority of citizens in western Orange County. I believe that my life experiences from small town (Elon) to major city (San Francisco) can help broaden consideration of a wide range of ideas related to the future of Orange Co.

I am excited for a new opportunity to serve my hometown community in Orange County. Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards: NONE Boards/Commissions applied for: Orange County Planning Board (REQUIRES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT) Background, education and experience relevant to this board: My background as a resident of Orange County (Hillsborough) for the vast majority of my life (21 of 27 years) will serve me well in my understanding the area. I completed my B.S.B.A (Accounting focus) at UNC-Wilmington, and spent my first 4.5 years working in Public Accounting specializing in Tax. I think this accounting experience will allow me to understand the actual costs of proposed County changes very well. I have always had an ability to understand the financial side of things, and whether endeavors are financially feasible, and I hope to bring that skill to the table as a member of the Planning Board. Currently I work as a project accountant for a Utility-Scale Solar Farm Construction company - I am familiar with the permitting processes, zoning process, etc. and am very familiar with all the intricacies of a new development project and future planning.

Orange County Planning Board (REQUIRES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT) Please list the work/volunteer experience/qualifications that would add to your expertise for this board. Project Accountant (Solar Construction) - 9 months Senior Tax Accountant - 2 years Staff Accountant - 2 years What unique perspective can you bring to the Orange County Planning Board? I think I can bring the perspective of someone who was born and raised in OC, as well as someone who is early into their adult life. My skills being focused in finance and accounting will hopefully make me a valuable member of the Board when considering costs, and the financial impact that proposed changes will have (both the financial impact to the individuals in our communities, and to the community as a whole) What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to accomplish if appointed? First and foremost, I think the Planning Board should serve as a gut-check for the county s annual budget - ensuring that all items included have been thoroughly discussed and contemplated. Further, I think the responsibilities of the Planning Board include a thorough analysis of proposed developments, changes, and ideas that will have an impact on our county s residents. Primarily the Planning Board should serve as a voice of the community. What do you consider to be be the most important issues facing Orange County related to growth? It may sound simple, but I believe that transportation is the most important issue facing Orange County today and in the near future. With population growth inevitable, and occurring year-over- year, the need for updated transportation systems is becoming more evident. You see this with longer traffic jams all across the county. Another important issue I think we are facing is affordable housing. With the increase in population, also has come a greater demand for homes, and thus an increased premium on housing costs. I am interested in joining this discussion on how we can create solutions to this issue. What role should the Planning Board take in guiding and regulating growth? In my opinion Growth is inevitable and generally a positive thing. I believe the role of the Planning Board in regards to guiding and regulating growth is to ensure that the RESULT of said growth is a sustainable community. That can mean a lot of different things must be taken into consideration - population density, financial feasibility, town utility abilities, etc. But I think the ultimate role in guiding and regulating growth is to ensure a sustainable, thriving community is created. How would you, as a member of the Planning Board, contribute to the implementation of the Board of Commissioners' adopted Goals and Priorities?

I think I could do a great job of analyzing the budget and helping with a successful implementation/communication of said budget. My familiarity with Orange County will provide me with the ability to have an expert understanding of what kind of impact land use changes and zoning changes will have. And my passion for long-term investing will hopefully help contribute towards the long term implementation of the Capital Investment Plan.

ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: February 9, 2021 Action Agenda Item No. 3

SUBJECT: Discussion on Current Policy Regarding Housing Federal Inmates in the Orange County Detention Center

DEPARTMENT: Sheriff’s Office

ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: Attachment A: Modification of Sheriff Charles S. Blackwood, Intergovernmental 919.245.2900 Agreement Chief Deputy Jamison Sykes, Attachment B: Detention Services 919.245.2900 Intergovernmental Major Kevin Jones, 919.245.2900 Agreement with US Captain Tim Jones, 919.245.2900 Marshals Service for Jennifer Galassi, Legal Advisor to the Housing Federal Inmates Sheriff, 919.245.2900

PURPOSE: To discuss the current policy regarding housing federal inmates in the Orange County Detention Center (OCDC)

BACKGROUND: The U.S. Marshals Service is responsible for housing and transporting federal prisoners from the time they enter federal custody until they are either acquitted or convicted and sentenced to a designated federal Bureau of Prisons facility. During the time that court proceedings are underway, the Marshals Service relies on state and local governments to provide secure housing for federal prisoners. The Marshals Service reimburses these state and local detention facilities for the cost of housing based on facility costs and other factors through a negotiated rate determination process. The Orange County Sheriff renegotiated its contract with the U.S. Marshals Service in 2016 to receive a reimbursement of $93 per day to house federal prisoners. A County-engaged consultant determined that the daily cost of housing an inmate in the Orange County detention facility was $111.02 based on FY 2015 costs to operate the detention facility. If federal detainees are to be housed in the detention center that is currently under construction, the County will likely have a different cost profile, which will need to be determined.

In any year, the total amount of revenue collected from housing federal inmates depends on the daily rate and the number of inmates housed during the fiscal year. The total revenue collected in FY 2018-2019 was approximately $1.54 million, while that number was $1.13 million in FY 2019-2020. In March 2020, the Sheriff stopped accepting new federal inmates at the OCDC due 2 to the risk of COVID-19. As inmates were sentenced and transferred to federal prisons, the federal inmate population at the OCDC dropped to nine (9) individuals. Recently, and subject to certain restrictions related to COVID, the Sheriff has resumed accepting limited numbers of federal inmates at the OCDC. For the 12-month period immediately preceding March 2020, the average daily population of federal inmates was approximately 42.

Note: Some information provided herein was obtained, in part, from a 2016 agenda abstract addressing the US Marshals Service Agreement for Federal Inmate Reimbursement

FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact to the County to engage in these discussions.

SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange County Social Justice Goal is applicable to this item:  GOAL: CREATE A SAFE COMMUNITY The reduction of risks from vehicle/traffic accidents, childhood and senior injuries, gang activity, substance abuse and domestic violence.

Assisting the U.S. Marshals Service in housing federal inmates promotes public safety and the efficient operation of the criminal justice system.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: There is no Orange County Environmental Responsibility Goal impact associated with this item.

RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board discuss these matters with Orange County Sheriff Charles Blackwood and members of his staff.

PURPOSE: To discuss written consent for conducting vehicle searches.

BACKGROUND: On November 1, 2016, Orange County Sheriff Blackwood announced a new directive regarding searches and formalized it by adding a section to the Sheriff’s Office Policy Manual concerning obtaining written consent. The Sheriff recognized that although the US Supreme Court allows consent to be provided verbally, in writing, or by other means, he determined that his deputies should always attempt to obtain written consent prior to conducting a search, when practicable and when the safety of officers, suspects, or members of the public would not be negatively impacted by doing so. The Sheriff and his staff are prepared to report on the implementation of the written consent form.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact to the County to engage in these discussions.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: There is no Orange County Environmental Responsibility Goal impact associated with this item.

RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board discuss these matters with Orange County Sheriff Charles Blackwood and members of his staff.
