Mayor Waldorf called the meeting to order. Council Members in attendance were Julie Andresen, Joyce Brown, Joe Capowski, Mark Chilton, Pat Evans, Richard Franck and Lee Pavao. Also in attendance were Town Manager Cal Horton, Assistant Town Managers Sonna Loewenthal and Florentine Miller, Finance Director James Baker, Planning Director Roger Waldon, Personnel Director Pat Thomas and Senior Planner David Bonk.

Representatives of the UNC Student Recreation Society presented the Town with a check for $1,000, raised during the recent "March for Parks" event. Ms. Karen Morgan, representing the Society, thanked Council Member Pavao and Parks and Recreation Director Mike Loveman for attending the event.

Item 2 Public Hearing on proposed Cable Television Franchise

Assistant to the Manager Greg Feller presented an overview of the cable television franchise proposal, noting that the proposed term of the agreement was twenty years. Stating that Time-Warner Cable had agreed to pay $140,000 per year for public access and government access purposes, Mr. Feller noted that approximately $90,000 of this sum would be generated from the collection of a fee of $0.65 per month per subscriber to support these services.

Bob Joesting, Vice Chair of the Cable Television Advisory Committee, noted that the Committee's Chair, Tim Stephens, had asked him to present the Committee's report. Mr. Joesting presented an overview of the Committee's final report, noting that the Committee's vote on whether or not to recommend the proposed franchise agreement to the Council was a tied 4-4 vote. He indicated that the four persons voting against the agreement were concerned that the twenty year franchise term was too long. Mr. Joesting also indicated that the Committee felt it was important that the franchise agreement contain provisions to ensure the continuation of public access despite possible changes in the competitive cable television industry. Mr. Joesting said his personal view was that a twenty year franchise period was palatable. He also emphasized the importance of Time-Warner continuing to make public access facilities available during the transition period between the existing system and the planned system. Mr. Joesting also said he believed that the agreement relative to public access matters might not be workable. Council Member Andresen inquired why Mr. Joesting felt this was the case. Mr. Joesting said there were a lot of small details relative to public access which might contribute to a catch-22 situation in the future.

Marcia Decker said she found several provisions in, and omissions from, the proposed agreement to be disturbing. She said the draft agreement did not cite who would run public access operations if the cable company did not. Ms. Decker also stated that the definitions of public access programming were overly restrictive in that they did not permit sharing of programming across communities and prohibited advertising and commercial matters. She said that these restrictions on public access programming were unreasonable. Ms. Decker urged the Council to revisit the public access provisions of the proposed agreement.

Don Yonavjak said he was concerned that the provisions regarding public access were too restrictive. Noting that he found the overall agreement fairly favorable with some minor wording changes, Mr. Yonavjak suggested that the City of Greensboro's cable franchise agreement had some good language in this respect.

Eva Metzger, Chair of the Board for the People's Channel, said her organization was a non-profit corporation, which could run public access operations should the need arise. Ms. Metzger also said she believed that public access programming could ultimately be the Hyde Park Corner of the Town, focusing on local, national & international issues and the talents of local actors and artists. Expressing concern that Time-Warner Cable had not been a better corporate citizen during recent negotiations, Ms. Metzger urged the Council not to be rushed into voting on the proposed agreement. She also said although the proposed agreement appeared to offer protections to Time Warner Cable, there did not appear to be similar protections for the Town. Ms. Metzger said the best Council action this evening would be for the Town to return to the negotiating table on public access matters. She stated that the matter could return to the Council for possible action in September.

Tony Spadaro said it was his personal opinion that the forty-two unscrambled channels of the proposed seventy-eight total proposed channels were not worth watching. He stated that the desirable channels would necessitate viewers having converter boxes. Mr. Spadaro suggested that the Council vote down the proposed agreement and have a new negotiating team begin work on a new and better agreement, better emphasizing the Town's interests.

Charles E. Cousins, a resident of Sunstone Apartments, expressed concern that residents of his community did not have the option of using different cable television providers. He requested the Town's assistance in exploring options to improve this situation.

Alice Ingram said she strongly supported the adequate provision of public access television as a means of bringing government closer to citizens.

Randy Fraser, representing Time Warner Cable, said the proposed franchise agreement provided a lot of benefits to Town residents. He stated that Time Warner had attempted to be responsive to the Town's negotiating team and its desire to achieve a balanced agreement. Saying that Time Warner had not cut back its commitment to public access in the community in the last few years, Mr. Fraser said his firm would continue its current level of commitment on public access matters.

Council Member Capowski thanked Town Manager Horton, Town Attorney Ralph Karpinos, Assistant to the Manager Ralph Karpinos and consulting attorney Ralph Karpinos for their assistance in negotiating the draft franchise agreement. Council Member Capowski said he encouraged the Council to vote on the proposed franchise agreement prior to the Council's summer recess.

COUNCIL MEMBER CAPOWSKI MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER PAVAO, TO REFER COMMENTS FROM CITIZENS TO THE MANAGER FOR THE REVIEW OF POSSIBLE WORDING CHANGES IN THE DRAFT FRANCHISE AGREEMENT.

Stating that twenty years was a long time for a franchise agreement, Council Member Andresen said it was important to address citizen concerns about public access matters. Council Member Capowski said the proposed franchise was non-exclusive, allowing other companies to compete in the future. Council Member Andresen asked why a twenty year term was proposed. Council Member Capowski said the Town would receive more money from Time Warner under these terms.

Stating that he did not think the Town was getting much from the proposed terms of the agreement, Council Member Chilton said although the proposed agreement was technically non-exclusive, cable television service was a de facto monopoly in the near term. He requested that the staff's follow-up report contain information about considering offers from other cable companies and why offers were not solicited from other companies. Mr. Horton said that existing federal laws presumed that current franchises would be renewed. He added that although other proposals were solicited, none were received.

Council Member Evans inquired whether or not the cable company could estimate how much costs would increase in order to recover costs of new equipment. She also suggested that the possibility of regional television being investigated in the context of the proposed franchise agreement.

Expressing her concurrence with Council Member Andresen's, Chilton's and Evans' comments, Council Member Brown requested that staff give careful attention to citizen comments, especially regarding public access programming.

Council Member Andresen inquired when the staff would report back to the Council on this matter. Mr. Horton said staff would present a follow-up report at the Council's June 24th meeting.

Mayor Waldorf noted that the Council would have the option to vote on the agreement at the June 24th meeting. Mr. Karpinos noted that approval of a franchise ordinance agreement required affirmative votes at two Council meetings.

THE MOTION TO REFER WAS ADOPTED UNANIMOUSLY (8-0).

Item 3 Petitions

Human Services Advisory Board Chair Ed Devany requested that the Council increase the allocation for human service performance agreements by $11,100 to $131,100. Council Member Evans inquired about options for funding this item. Mr. Horton said the Council could elect to take this money from fund balance.

COUNCIL MEMBER CHILTON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER PAVAO, TO RECEIVE MR. DEVANY'S PETITION.

Council Member Andresen inquired how the Human Services Board would handle the matter if the Council did not approve additional funding. Mr. Devany said there would be an across the board reduction in funding of each agency.

THE MOTION TO RECEIVE THE PETITION WAS ADOPTED UNANIMOUSLY (8-0).

John Sanders, 1107 Sourwood Drive, said residents of his neighborhood were requesting that the Town provide a funding subsidy for the installation of sanitary sewer service to about sixty properties. He requested that neighborhood residents supporting the petition to please rise.

Council Member Andresen said she hoped that OWASA would act expeditiously in this matter.

COUNCIL MEMBER ANDRESEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER FRANCK, TO RECEIVE AND REFER THE PETITION. THE MOTION WAS ADOPTED UNANIMOUSLY (8-0).

Council Member Capowski inquired what would happen next on this matter. Mr. Horton said staff would notify OWASA of receipt of the petition and follow up with them. Council Member Capowski inquired when staff would report back on the matter. Mr. Horton said he hoped that the matter could be back on the Council's July 1st agenda.

Nancy Preston, representing the Board of the University Presbyterian Church, said the Board requested that the Council approve the installation of two speed bumps on Spring Lane as soon as possible.

COUNCIL MEMBER CHILTON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER EVANS, TO RECEIVE AND REFER THE PETITION. THE MOTION WAS ADOPTED UNANIMOUSLY (8-0).

Council Member Andresen suggested that a subcommittee be formed to review the 1992 OWASA report on water and sewer matters. She also suggested that staff report back to the Council on Town staff coverage of OWASA Board meetings. Council Member Andresen suggested that the Council invite the Town's OWASA Board representatives and possibly the entire OWASA Board to a work session in the future.

COUNCIL MEMBER ANDRESEN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER BROWN, TO REFER THE PETITION TO STAFF. THE MOTION WAS ADOPTED UNANIMOUSLY (8-0)

Mayor Waldorf requested that anyone interested in serving on the proposed committee contact her.

Council Member Franck said preliminary reports from subcommittees had been made to the Transit 2001 Committee earlier in the day. He also said the Town's local bill on fire sprinklers appeared to be somewhat controversial. Council Member Franck said it was not possible to determine when this matter would come back for consideration.

Council Member Brown requested removal of item g. Council Member Andresen requested removal of item e. Council Member Capowski requested removal of item d. Council Member Andresen suggested moving up Mr. Longiotti's item. Council Member Brown noted that she had some minor language changes.

SECTION V

GENERAL PROVISIONS

All Town employees shall be paid bi-weekly or weekly. The Finance Director shall issue warrants for payments of all claim for compensation when approved by the Town Manager and within the appropriation, and shall issue warrants bi-weekly for payments of compensation of members of the Council and the Mayor upon certification of the correctness of the amounts.

SECTION VI

OVERTIME COMPENSATION

To the extent that local government jurisdictions are so required, the Town will comply with the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

The Manager, following FLSA regulations, shall determine which jobs are "non-exempt" and are therefore subject to the Act in areas such as hours of work and work periods, rates of overtime compensation, and other provisions. Non-exempt employees will be paid at a straight time rate for hours up to the FLSA established limit for their position (usually 40 hours in a 7 day period); hours worked beyond the FLSA established limit will be paid at the appropriate overtime rate. In determining eligibility for overtime in a work period, only hours actually worked shall be considered.

Whenever practicable, departments will schedule time off on an hour-for-hour basis within the applicable work period for non-exempt employees, instead of paying over-time. When time off within the work period cannot be granted, overtime worked will be paid in accordance with the Fair Labor Standards Act. However, in accordance with FLSA and when approved in advance by the Manager, non-exempt employees may be allowed to accrue compensatory time in lieu of being paid overtime. This compensatory time must be accrued as an hour-and-a-half off for every hour of overtime worked.

Employees in positions determined to be "exempt" from the Fair Labor Standards Act (as Executive, Administrative, or Professional staff) will not receive pay for hours worked in excess of their normal work periods. These employees may be granted compensatory leave by their department heads where the convenience of the department allows.

SECTION VII

CALLBACK PAY

Employees in classes eligible for overtime compensation whose supervisors require them, because of emergencies, to report to work at times which are not merely an extension of their normal work days will be paid for a minimum of two hours of work, even if their actual work time was shorter. Extensions of employees' normal work days, either by their being required to report early or by their being required to work beyond their normal quitting times, shall be covered by the over-time/compensatory leave provisions of Section VI of this ordinance.

SECTION VIII

LONGEVITY PAY

The Town will recognize the length of service of its full-time employees with a longevity payment, effective in December. Payment shall be based on the following schedule:

At least 5 years, not more than 10 years of service -- $400

At least 10 years, not more than 15 years of service -- $550

At least 15 years, not more than 20 years of service -- $700

At least 20 or more years of service -- $850

Part-time employees' payments will be prorated based on their hours of work, as specified in policies approved by the Manager.

An employee's eligibility for longevity pay will be based on his/her total Town service as of December 1 of each year.

SECTION IX

401(K) PROGRAM

The Town will contribute 5% of gross salary for full- and part-time employees to an account with the State of North Carolina's 401(K) (tax deferred savings) program, coincident with that employee's membership in the NC Local Government Employee's Retirement System.

This the 10th day of June, 1996.

Council Member Andresen inquired about the Town's practice for comparing pay rates. Mr. Horton said the past practice had been to compare midpoints, rather than the third quartile, as was the revised practice for lower salary ranges.

COUNCIL MEMBER PAVAO MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER EVANS, TO ADOPT ORDINANCE 6. THE MOTION WAS ADOPTED UNANIMOUSLY (8-0).

SECTION IX

401(K) PROGRAM

This the 10th day of June, 1996.

Mr. Horton said adoption of Resolution 10, changing the 401(k) contribution initiation program, would save the Town about $30,000 per year.

** Resolution 10 is about setting policy on surveying wages rates for lowest paid jobs, Ordinance 7 is about changes in the retirement system

COUNCIL MEMBER EVANS MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER CHILTON,

TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 10. THE MOTION WAS ADOPTED UNANIMOUSLY

(8-0).

A RESOLUTION REGARDING SALARY SURVEYS AND WAGES: (96-6-10/R-10)

BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Chapel Hill that the following governmental organizations shall be surveyed and considered in determining pay comparability of positions of the Town:

The State of North Carolina (UNC-CH campus and hospital), Durham, Durham County, Orange County, Carrboro, OWASA, Raleigh, Cary, and Wake County

Local governments of similar size and in other states in the region may be surveyed and considered in determining comparability of department head positions.

Data from private industry and from other organizations will be obtained and considered to the extent such data is made available to the Town.

In determining comparability of Town positions to the employment market, the following general principles shall apply to the budget prepared by the Town Manager

(1) The lowest pay rate for regular full-time positions should be set in the proposed budget at approximately $1,000 over the federal poverty wage for a family of four; that wage shall be indexed for the cost of living of Chapel Hill as calculated in the United States Chamber of Commerce or other studies. (The hourly rate for regular part-time employees would also reflect these principles, although the actual annual salary would depend on the number of hours worked.) Calculation will be done once annually, in conjunction with adoption of the new fiscal year budget and the new classification and pay plan.

(2) The approximate middle of the market shall be used to determine local market comparability for Town positions above the lowest four salary grades..

(3) The approximate third quartile of market data shall be used to determine local market comparability for the lowest paid Town positions (generally the lowest 4 salary grades representing approximately 10% to 20% of positions).

Salary policies are subject to modifications by Council at the time any budget is adopted or at other times as determined by the Council.

This the 10th day of June, 1996.

Mr. Horton said that user fees, excepting bus fares, were recommended to remain unchanged.

COUNCIL MEMBER PAVAO MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER CHILTON, TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 11.

Council Member Capowski inquired about the possibility of hiring more planners using development-related fees. Mr. Horton said this would only be possible if fees were raised even higher. Council Member Andresen asked why fees were waived for the University and University Hospitals. Mr. Horton said the Town did not typically inspect State projects.

RESOLUTION 11 WAS ADOPTED UNANIMOUSLY (8-0).

A RESOLUTION ADOPTING USER FEE POLICIES AND SCHEDULES FOR VARIOUS TOWN DEPARTMENTS (96-6-10/R-11)

BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Chapel Hill that the Council hereby adopts, effective on July 1, 1996, the attached user fee policies and schedules as submitted by the Town Manager on June 5, 1996:

MAILED AGENDA PACKETS $350 per year

PLANNING DEPARTMENT

Policies Regarding Development Review Fees

January, 1995

Attached is list of development review fees currently in use by the Planning Department. No changes are proposed for the 1995-96 program year.

Basic Assumptions

There are two basic assumptions built into this fee schedule:

1. All "out-of-pocket" expenses associated with development review should be recovered through the fees. Our main such expense is advertising public hearings in the newspaper.

2. On average, approximately 80 percent of professional staff expenses needed to review development requests should be recovered through the fees.

Item 1, above, can be estimated with a fair degree of accuracy. Item 2 can vary widely, depending on the scale of proposed development, presence of complicating factors, number of revisions, level of public interest, number of advisory board and council meetings needed before action, etc. We have attempted to estimate typical staff time needed for each type of development application; these estimates are reflected in the attached fee schedule.

Two additional notes: Pursuant to Council direction, there is no fee for an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness for our Historic Districts.

Note: Fees are waived for Town of Chapel Hill development applications.

DRAFT submitted with FY 95-96 Budget - adopted by Town Council __________: Effective _________

INSPECTIONS DEPARTMENT

User Fee Policy

The charging of user fees is an equitable method of recovering costs or portions thereof from the users of the building inspection services provided by the Town. Such inspections benefit the public by insuring that construction is built according to Town Ordinances and the North Carolina State Building Code.

Fees are set to approximate half the costs the providing inspections under North Carolina State Building Code. Costs of inspections related to the Chapel Hill Minimum Housing Code, state-certified day care centers, zoning regulations, and private property ordinances are not included.

Fee schedules shall be reviewed every three to five years and revised in order to keep revenue from fees close to half the cost of building code inspection services. Review shall be scheduled based on the change in building activity volume. Because the fees collected are based on the level of building activity, revenue totals can only be estimated. Levels of activity vary from year to year, therefore, annual reviews are not considered practical.

Fees are waived for all publicly subsidized housing, including Public Housing, Interfaith Council housing and the homeownership demonstration program.

Additional fees are charged to reinspect projects which fail to pass building code inspections. This is to encourage builders to correct deficiencies before calling for an inspection.

TOWN OF CHAPEL HILL

ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT INSPECTION FEE POLICY

The charging of fees is an equitable method of recovering costs or portions thereof from the users of engineering inspection services provided by the Town of Chapel Hill. Such inspections benefit developers and contractors by providing assistance in quality control and construction efficiency, thereby reducing potential costs of repairing/replacing substandard work and reducing the risk of future reprisals from dissatisfied buyers and/or public officials. The public-at-large benefits by being assured of quality construction which is safe, functional, economical, and does not require high costs for future repair and maintenance.

Fees are set to approximate half of the costs of providing standard engineering inspections for public works construction.

Fees shall be reviewed every three to five years, and revised if necessary to approximate half of the cost of engineering inspection services. Review of fees shall be scheduled based on cumulative revisions in the cost of providing inspection services as a result of time and/or salary changes which may occur. Therefore, annual fee reviews are not considered necessary or practical.

Fees shall be waived for all Town administered improvement projects, projects determined by the Town Manager to be of public necessity such as major utility construction by OWASA or others, projects developed by or for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill or the North Carolina Memorial Hospitals, and private development projects or parts thereof which include publicly subsidized housing so determined by the Town Manager.

Fee Schedule

The following fees will apply to engineering inspections within the jurisdiction of the Town of Chapel Hill:

Full or Partial Street Improvements $2.85 per linear foot

(including storm drains, sidewalk, curb and gutter, paving, grading and appurtenant work in or adjacent to public rights-of-way)

Utility Service Improvements $0.55 per linear foot

(including excavation, backfill, and appurtenant work relating to the installation, repair, replacement, or removal of sewer, water, gas, telephone, electric, and/or similar utility facilities in or adjacent to public rights-of-way)

TOWN OF CHAPEL HILL

MUNICIPAL CEMETERY FEES

The Town of Chapel Hill owns and operates two cemeteries which are available for use by both residents and non-residents of the Town.

The cemetery fee entitles the purchaser to burial rights in perpetuity for specific cemetery space or spaces identified in the Town cemetery records and surveys.

The fees are set to approximate typical charges for similar facilities in our region of North Carolina, and they will be reviewed every three to five years to maintain parity.

Fee Schedule

Resident Non-Resident

Burial Space $400 $800

Cremation Space $200 $400

Interment Fee* $450 $450

TOWN OF CHAPEL HILL

Field Operations Division - Streets Section

Street Cut Policy

The Town's policy relative to street cuts is to recover present maintenance costs plus a marginal allowance for future maintenance costs resulting when Town streets are cut by franchised utilities or any other entity.

FEES

PAVED STREETS: 0 - 10 sq. yds. $45 per sq. yd.

each additional sq. yd. $10 per sq. yd.

TOWN OF CHAPEL HILL

Sanitation Division

User Fee Policy

The charging of user fees is an equitable method of recovering some of the costs of providing sanitation services that exceed those routinely provided and funded from the general fund. Fees are based on estimated actual costs. The following services have an associated user fee:

Supplemental Commercial Garbage Collection

The Town currently provides standard twice per week commercial garbage collection at no charge to customers. Beginning on January 1, 1996, the current supplemental commercial service will be reduced to 2 extra days per week.

Compactor User Fees

Downtown compactor customers are assessed a disposal fee based on an estimate of their generated waste volume and frequency of use. Compactor fees were implemented in fiscal year 1993-94, to recover the operating costs for servicing two compactors in the downtown areas. Due to additional maintenance and cleaning costs the annual fee will increase effective January 1, 1996.

Mixed Waste and Yard Waste Dumpster Rental Fees

Upon request, the Town will rent residents portable containers for mixed waste or yard waste refuse removal from their properties. Currently, a mixed waste container costs less to rent than a yard waste container. Beginning July 1, 1995, all containers will rent for the same fee.

Yard Waste Container Sales

The Town offers for sale to residents roll carts for the disposal of yard waste. The resident benefits by having a convenient way to store yard waste for disposal while the Sanitation Division benefits by the containerization of waste and the ability to utilize semi-automated collection equipment. The carts are sold at a price that recovers two-thirds of their actual cost.

Bulky Items Collection Fee

Beginning July 1, 1995, the Town will begin charging a fee of $15 for bulky items collection. Currently this service has no user fee. Bulky items are large items, such as furniture and appliances, that cannot be disposed in a rear-loading garbage truck.
