The motion was declared passed. A. Added Item - Karen Snyder, Wal-Mart Green Box Coordinator Karen Snyder, Wal-Mart Green Box Coordinator, addressed the Board and stated that Wal-Mart is committed to supporting programs to protect or promote the environment. Ms. Snyder suggested ways in which Wal-Mart might aid the local community including the "Adopt- A-Highway" Program; development of parks - perhaps some aid in developing the planned park along the Eno River; protecting animal populations through education about animal health programs such as rabies vaccinations; tree and shrub planting programs; and child safety as well as others. The Board expressed their appreciation for Wal-Mart's commitment and suggested Ms. Snyder begin by contacting the Phil Ray with the Tree Board. B. Added Item - Chandler Cates, Orange Rural Fire District Board Mr. Chandler Cates, representing the Orange Rural Fire District Board, appeared before the Board requesting funding in the amount of $157,000 for fire protection services in the Town of Hills borough for the Fiscal Year 97-98. He explained that this amount represents no increase in any line item from last years budget with the exception of the personnel category. Mr. Cates told the Board that due to the dwindling volunteer force and the poor results received from recent recruiting efforts, the Orange Rural Fire District Board feels that it will be necessary to hire additional personnel to provide adequate fire protection coverage. Cates indicated this will be accomplished by hiring four additional personnel (totaling 6) and instituting 24 hour shifts. This would provide two firefighters on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week and as before the costs would be split equally. He presented to the Board a proposed Local Act which will be presented to the Legislature which would allow Orange Rural to perform fire inspections for the Town. Cates also suggested an additional $2,000 be approved for service coverage on the fire truck. Mr. Cates requested that the Board approve this budget request at this meeting so that the Orange Rural Board would have these figures to present at their budget meeting with Orange County later this week. By consensus, the Board declined to approve the requested funding at this time, but assured Mr. Cates that the request would be considered during the Town Board's FY 97-98 Budget Work Sessions. C.

Manager Swanson also informed the Board that the Interim Police Chief and Community Policing Sergeant would be meeting with the Sanford Police Department on April 22nd to view their mobile substation and discuss their Community Policing Program. A. Interim Town Manager Appointment. Manager Swanson suggested to the Board that former Commissioner Carol Lorenz be contacted to assist in the recruitment process for the Town Manager position.

Status of Time Warner Social Contract (Cable TV). Town Manager Eric Swanson introduced Brad Phillips with Time Warner Cable. Mr. Phillips addressed the Board and summarized that on November 30, 1995, the Federal Communications Commission approved Time Warner Cable's Social Contract. The FCC found that the Contract will advance the public interest by assuring fair and reasonable rates for Time Warner Cable's customers; facilitating the creation of a low-cost; lifeline basic service level; improving Time Warner Cable's service by substantially upgrading the channel capacity and technical reliability of its cable systems; and reducing the administrative burden and cost of regulation for local governments, the FCC and Time Warner Cable. Phillips reported that during Time Warner Cable's first year of operation under the Social Contract, significant strides have been made toward meeting these goals. The immediate benefit of the Social Contract was the resolution of over 900 rate complaints and approximately $4.7 million plus interest was refunded to customers. He informed the Board that early in 1996 in accordance with the Social Contract, they lowered the rate on the basic service tier of affected systems to a level 10% below the rates which were current on the publication date of the Social Contract and in addition to creating the lifeline basic service, they upgraded systems located in large urban, suburban and in small rural communities.

Ms. Barbara Burger and her son Ivan Burger appeared before the Board asking them to reconsider the this amendment. Ms. Burger stated that skateboarding is good exercise for the kids and the Town parking lot being right behind the Police Department, it is a "safe" place for them to hang out. Attorney Geoff Gledhill addressed the Board stating that skateboarding is not only good exercise but is also a social activity for the kids. He stated that skateboards/roller skates/roller blades are not vehicles, but that case law has pmven them to be pedestrian modes of transportation and they must therefore abide by all pedestrian laws. Mr. Gledhill stated that in . . . 1>-' 098 his opinion, skateboards did not belong on Town sidewalks. He offered some suggested changes to the ordinance amendment. After some discussion, the Board instructed the Town Manager to attain further direction from the Town Attorney concerning liability issues and report back to them at the May Board Meeting. C.

Planning Director Hauth stated that the Planning Board unanimously recommends approval ofthis development with the condition that the water, sewer, and storm water plans are approved by the Town and the Department of Transportation approves the street design before construction begins.
