REPORT FROM THE TOWN MANAGER Town Manager Eric Swanson announced that Jack Graham and Todd Zapolski, representing the Scotswood Development, were in attendance and available to answer any questions the Board may have in regards to their annexation request. Board members and Mayor stated concerns about utilizing satellite annexation because of the proposed landfill. By consensus, the Board accepted the Scotswood Development's letter of interest in annexation. After much discussion, by consensus, the Board directed the Manager to encourage the contiguous annexation of the Scotswood Development and report to them any matters with respect to the feasibility of this option at the April meeting. A. March 22nd Town Board Strategic Planning Retreat.

Proposed integrated solid waste management program. Gail Wilson and Blair Pollock reported to the Board regarding an Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan. Under a new state law, all local governments in North Carolina must submit a Solid Waste Management Plan to the State by July 1, 1997. The plan must either identify how the locality will meet a) a 40% per capita reduction of solid waste, or b) meet locally adopted goals. Both municipal solid waste and construction and demolition wastes are included. Multiple localities may join together to submit a single plan which covers all the localities. B. Status of special census. Town Manager Eric Swanson discussed special census options. He explained that the Office of State Planning is mandated to release population estimates for funding purposes on September 15. The State Demographer has given the Town an absolute deadline of September 12 to submit the certified Special Census count. The Special Census office generally requires 9 months to complete a special count. They have conducted them in six months before and say it is possible they could complete one in that time frame here if there are no delays. Swanson presented three options for the Board's consideration. Option 1 would be to purse the special census with town staff making every effort to meet the September 12 deadline; Option 2 would be to pursue the special census, beginning the work in the late summer, or early fall of 1997; and Option 3 would be not to pursue a special census. Upon a motion by Commissioner Smith, seconded by Commissioner Chavious, the Board moved to accept Option 1 to pursue the special census with town staff making every effort to meet the September 12 deadline and directed the Town Manager to proceed immediately by a vote of 5-0. The motion was declared passed. 4 . . . 058 X ITEMS FOR DECISION -- REGULAR AGENDA A. Approval by Resolution recommended Personnel Policy Amendments from recent Pay and Classification Study. Manager presented the changes to the Personnel Policy for the Board's consideration.

The Town Attorney stated that this paragraph was a hold over from years ago which was no longer applicable. The second was to amend Section 4-6(9) to delete the words non-disciplinary. The third amendment suggested by the attorney was to amend Section 4-59 to add the wording "subject to annual appropriations,". Copies of these amendments are hereby made a part of these minutes as Attachment X Upon a motion Commissioner Smith, seconded by Commissioner Simpson, the Board move to approve the resolution adopting the recommended amendments resulting from the Pay and Classification Study except for Section 4-57 on Retiree Benefits by a vote of 5-0.

Ray, Town Clerk 6 . . . 053 FAIRVIEW COMMUNITY: CALL FOR ACTION OVERVIEW We, as citizens of Hillsborough and the Northern Fairview community, resolve that: With dignity, respect, and humility, we petition the Hillsborough Town Board to allocate funds for the construction of a Community House/Police Substation on city-owned land. Although police records indicate a decrease in crime, there are still very serious problems with street comer drug sales, drug and prostitution transactions in front of our homes and sometimes in our yards. Prostitution flourishes in our neighborhood. People park in our yards, trespass on our property, block the streets, play loud music all hours of the night and throw trash all over the. streets and our property. As citizens of Hillsborough we want zero tolerance regarding drugs and we want to live without fear in our neighborhood. We the people of the North Dixie Avenue Subdivision Community Watch and the Fairview Community do wholeheartedly and humbly submit this petition to the Town Board concerning the Community House/Police Substation, As tax-paying citizens of Hillsborough and Orange County, we deserve a safe, quiet, drug-free community so that we can rest peacefully at night and our child.ren can play safely during the day. Even though the police report states that crime is down, drugs remain plentiful; violent crimes and gang activities are on the rise, The shooting of guns at night and even during the daylight hours keep us in fear of walking around in our homes - afraid that a bullet will strike us! Drug sales, prostitution, and alcohol consumption take place on our property and in our streets. The streets are often blocked by cars parked in the middle of the road as well as on the road shoulder and pavement. People park in curves, making driving increasingly hazardous. We ask that this request be given special consideration by traffic enforcement. We request that the Board consider petitioning the Department of Transportation to have the roads dedicated to the State in order to have them properly marked with lines (center of road way and right edge), speed limit, and caution signs. We also request that street lighting be reviewed. In addition, we request that no parking/towing enforced signs be erected. Finally, we request a selective traffic enforcement program (STEP) be instituted specifically in the community at night. Loud music, profanity, and other disruptive activity invades our homes at night and in the early hours of the morning. Litter mars our neighborhood as violators throw cans, bottles, and trash on our property. 053 Our park goes unused as citizens do not feel safe there. Because ofterritorial complexities the Sheriff's Department only gives limited patrol service to the park. Thus, we . request that the park be annexed to the Town; and, if annexed, made equal to other town parks. It is not enough that crime statistics are down. We want a zero tolerance and are willing to help make this possible by giving our time, energy, and effort to serve our community. We will provide free labor during the construction phase and volunteers to adequately staff the building. We will oversee the upkeep of the building and its property once completed. We will continue our Neighborhood Watch to keep the community and park safe and crime free. SUGGESTED USES FOR SUBSTATION/COMMUNITY BUILDING 1- 2- 3- 4- 5- 6- 7- 8- Substation site for Law Enforcement Officers Office site for Orange County Social Services Office site for Orange County Mental Health Easy phone access for police officers, sheriff's deputies, and others during emergencies Location for organized activities offered by Parks and Recreation Use as a recycling center drop-off point by the Department of Sanitation' Use by local nonprofits for meetings Use by local community college to offer GED, vocational classes, and more to local residents Use by citizens for Community Watch meetings, neighborhood block parties, et cetera . 9- (The above are only afew of the ideas suggested by the Fairview community. Usesfor the Substation/Community Building are unlimited.) Why have a substation site? 1- Allows for fast response by Police Department 2- Provides easy access by the Law Enforcement Officers to our neighborhood 3- Easy access to a phone in emergency situations 4- Easier enforcement of zero tolerance How will the building be paid for? 1- Building costs should be paid for by the Town of Hills borough. 2- Rents collected from potential users of building - in addition to taxes - will help maintain the building. 3- Time donated by volunteers for land upkeep will also maintain building and property. 4- Applicable grants should be researched and use for construction and/or upkeep of building. 2 . . . . Therefore, we would like the Town Board to allocate funds for the construction of such a building for our cotniriUnity and the commitment from all city agencies to work hand-in-hand with us to complete this project and make Fairview a safer, better place to live. Respectfully Submitted on March 11, 1997 By: (See attached petition) 060 3 . ~ ~ ,-; .0 Q 1 ATTACHMENT HOW WE ARRIVED AT OUR CONCLUSIONS: . We first discussed community problems among ourselves and with members of the Police Department, Town Board, Mayor, and Attorney General's Safe Neighborhoods Office.
