Norris Koval, a detention. officer with the life saving

award, but unfortunately, he is,. you know, not with the corona

virus but with a different. virus. And he's been able to be

Aye. Anyone opposed? All right.. The first presentation tonight

will be from Stacy Saunders and. possibly assisted by Debbie

Hatfield, our emergency. director, Emergency Management

Director. So, Stacey, what can. you tell what is what can we

tell the public about Cova 19. and alamance. County and what

alamance County has been doing. in response to it.

Great. Thank you for this. opportunity. I'm going to start

kind of like I do with every. EEOC and start sort of from the

beginning go through. So just to. give you an idea of the

timeline, we first identified. coded 19 in China, partly in

December 2019. First known case. in the US was January 21. And

then person in case in North. Carolina was on March 3. There

are no cases at this time and. Alamance The Global Burden of

Cova 19 is about 160,000 cases.. As of the time I pulled this

report was 6000 deaths in the. United States about 3500 cases

was 60, about 6870 deaths. In. North Carolina. We currently as

of this morning have 33 cases in. North Carolina with no deaths,

and again, no cases in alamance. County. And so, just a reminder

that coded 19 is a lower. respiratory illness. That means

fever, cough and shortness of. breath. The when we look at the

trends globally, the highest. risk group for severe illness,

that's not necessarily the. highest risk group to get the

virus. It's just if the, if they. get the virus, this group is the

highest risk for severe illness.. And those are folks over 65

years of age, those with. underlying health conditions and

those with a weakened immune. system. Symptoms usually occur

within two to four days post. exposure and if positive

abortion day isolation from time. of symptoms. So what's been

happening here? So I'll start. with just saying the health

department opened up their EEOC. several weeks ago. We just

transition to a city to a county. city EEOC on March 15, and

county manager and the Emergency. Management Director will talk

more about that. We have created. a code at 19 Community call line

that is housed at the EEOC with. a almost like a triage model. So

folks can call into that. community line, and they'll be

greeted by human who will ask. them what their questions are,

and if they're general questions. and those questions can stay at

the EEOC call center. If there. are specific questions about

risk or medical questions, those. get transferred to a bank of

nurses over at the health. department also gets answered by

human we are just like with any. communicable disease response.

The Health Department is charged. with monitoring the communicable

disease. So we are doing. surveillance, we are monitoring

any travelers, any folks that. come into our community, they

have to do take daily check ins. with us for temps. We are also

testing individuals that might. meet any criteria we've tested

to both have been negative at. this time. We're encouraging

community partners, mean our. community providers to also

collect and test and they can. use private labs like lab port

to do so. The community. providers doing this then allows

public health to also then focus. on that monitoring and

surveillance in the contact. tracing to help mitigate and

make sure that we don't have any. true community transmission. We

also have been sending out. provider guidance to all of our

community providers or the last. one we sent was on March 13.

memo was From the health. director and the medical

director was also sent out to. congregate living facilities. So

these are like your nursing. homes with recommendations about

restricting visitation. We also. modified the Health Department

website, we've been posting on. social media. The county also

created a modification to their. website for folks to get

information about COPPA. So we. continue to press upon the

community that in the absence of. vaccine, we want to make sure

that you are washing your hands.. If you don't have soap and water

available to sanitize with an. alcohol, alcohol based

sanitizer. Please use pop. hygiene that means into the

elbow also sees there or you can. use a tissue and enter the

tissue away. Avoid folks who are. sick and stay at home when

you're sick, disinfect areas and. a new term for most people in

the world, social distancing and. so that means just keeping

ourselves apart a little bit not. enough A great example here.

But putting some distance. between you and other folks and

limiting the time that you are. out in the public if you don't

necessarily have to be out in. the public. And so these

preventative and protective. measures might seem to the

outside world into the public as. really extreme in some ways. But

the reason they're put in place. the reason our governor put them

in place, the reason our. President talks about them is

that to reduce the community. transmission, currently, at this

moment, we don't have community. transmission in North Carolina,

all those cases I told you about. are either travel related or

related to a contact to a. positive case. So we want to

repeat we want to keep reducing. that likelihood of community

transmission, these protective. and these preventive measures

also then protect our most. vulnerable. So this high risk

groups that I told you about

the folks who are over 65 has. with underlying health

conditions and a weakened immune. system. So that, you know, this

is a new important part where. those of us who are fairly

healthy and might experience. mild illness with this, it's our

jobs to make sure that we. protect the others, our

neighbors, our families. As I. say to you know, I was just

saying to mark that, I think. about miles and potholes a lot.

And, you know, protecting our. grandparents and our elders in

this community and folks who. might have other health

conditions, or even going. through treatments that weaken

their immune system, so. important to do our part to make

sure that they stay safe. And. with that, I'll just add that

the governor did mandate K. through 12 School closure and

cancellation of all events over. 100 on March 15, by executive

order and some other guidance. has come out since then. This is

a rapidly evolving situation. So. From there, I'll go ahead and

turn it over to the county. manager in the Emergency

Management Director to talk to. you about what the company is

doing.

Well, thank you, Stacey. And. commissioners. I just can't tell

you how fortunate we are to have. Stacey Saunders as our public

health director. There have done. a lot of eyes on Stacy over the

past week. A lot of folks like. me and city management, trying

to make decisions about what. does this mean? What do we do?

How do we manage how do we help. our department heads make good

decisions with a public health. in mind and everyone has turned

to Stacey and to her folks at. Hilton, we were very

appreciative. So we've got a. great person in the right spot

and very glad of that also to. emergency management. Debbie

Hatfield, our mercy Management. Director has done an outstanding

job. This is so different such a. such a strange event. It's not

an ice storm, a hurricane,. something that we're all kind of

wondered about it. We've got. we've got good people so they're

not always like to tell you that. our employees are doing a

fantastic job. Well figure out. they're not to worry a lot of

concern and county employees are. doing exactly what they're

supposed to do. They're serving. very well and very dedicated

way. County at this time we our. business hours remain the same.

We haven't curtail any any. openings of county departments

or facilities. We have canceled. Park and library programs. And

but those facilities are still. open. So the libraries are open.

County Parks are open, but we're. not doing any organized programs

at either parks or libraries. We. also have canceled the land

development plan meetings that. were scheduled for this week and

all the way through March 24.. We're working on doing a

facebook live version on March. 24. So people will still have

the opportunity here with the. folks that are working with our

planning department say about. plan development planning and

alamance County, they'll be able. to give feedback that way and

then we will schedule those. meetings again. Once we are in a

little bit of a our access has. returned to normal right We will

we will schedule the live. community meetings. And the

sheriff's office has curtailed. some services to they make some

adjustments over their lobbies. about fingerprinting folks, and

I think they work very well with. the City of Burlington, but

animal control. They've done a. fine job too, and limited some

access to the detention center.. And of course, our courts have

closed and adjusted schedules. for some, some types of hearings

and proceedings that they must. have. Stacey mentioned that we

have set up a website The. website is Alamance-nc.com/covi

19. Available on the big bann. r right on the county's homep

ge, you can click there and se. all the cancellations that

county governments doing . s well as the links to our munic

pal partners to and the feds an. everybody in the brother. We go

it. That's a good one stop plac. . We have opened our Emergen

y Operations Center we're runni. g at a partial activation

that means it's open 12 hours. a day, every day. staffing with

emergency management staff. . nd that is the location to fo

our phone bank. We do have a. Stacy mentioned we have

telephone number that reside. ts of alamance County co

ld call the number is 336-290-. 361. And that number is availabl

from 8am to 7pm. And as for an. questions about Kovac 19 and

its medical questions, questio. s of concern, whatever. People h

ve questions about the deal wit. this, this pandemic, we are h

ppy to take those calls. And I. really appreciate the fol

s that are staffing that you . now, I told you we we retail p

rking library programs, those th. folks that are there right no

man in front of Mike in a very . usy but it's a it's a great ser

ice for residents, and fro. management's perspective, we ar

also evaluating. We've . sked all department heads t

categorize their employees in. a mission critical way so we

can see who are folks that abs. lutely have to be in every day

providing direct service Pub. ic down to folks that we migh

be able to send home. We've a. most gathered all that data will

be working over the next coup. e of days to determine are ther

are there county employees t. at we could send home and have

them work from home and try . o limit everybody the peop

e's exposure to them and their . xposure to folks. And the bab

is in here. So

basically, what Brian's saying. is we're at the esa 12 hours a

day.

We are getting some requests. from like the assisted living

facilities for mass for hand. sanitizer for gloves. And it's

really hard to get we've not had. a case here yet. So we're not

one of the priority said the. state is sitting in the overflow

of this equipment. We've managed. to get what we've had in here.

so far. For some of the nursing. facilities, every day, we are

gathering information and we are. sending out emails to all of the

partners and city and town. managers. They're sending me

their updates on what they're. doing in their areas. And I'm

putting together this situation. report and you should be getting

this. If not let me know and. I'll make sure you're on that

list. But it gives you the. overall how many cases it's been

reported so far, Stacy's day,. and our partners have reported

in but basically that's it for. now for us, but we've been busy.

The phones are ringing.

Yeah, if you could please make. sure that we're on the list

again.

Yeah, Michelle's?

Yeah. Okay, what was the phone. number again? It's

336 to 900361. And

that's 8am to 7pm.

It's Yes, I am. 7pm We're having. people reporting at 730 just so

they can get situated and get it

when they're too late.

This just came out today this. afternoon with CDC.

And I got toward my coffee.

But something that stood out all. along the same dog made up the

state of Washington and is fond. of saying yes do restrooms and

so can you comment cuz they did?. I mean, third, fourth, you were

there for cases? Yes. Yes. It's. just a reminder that when the US

for seeing its first cases that. was in the western Pacific

Northwest, in Washington State. in particular, they had a

nursing home that was hit very. badly. And I've had a week or

two ago, all the deaths that you. saw in the majority of them were

from that area, and so they were. very, very badly was that

nursing home game. Sort of one. of the epicenters of

I put it on socialite terms, but. you know, what was the situation

there may have today? It. penetrated,

feel try No, no the specifics.. But clearly someone in the

nursing home was ill. And at. that point, the virus is pretty

efficient. And it's spread and. was spreading pretty quickly

throughout the nursing home. probably more quickly than they

could put prevention and. protective measures in place,

even with restricting. visitation. And that that is one

of our most vulnerable groups.. So it's

not necessarily just starting,. there's the visitor

coming in.

I don't know the specifics about. Washington State. Somehow, I've

heard someone who was in a. facility was it and the virus

tends to be very efficient in. its transmission. And that's The

folks in that facility are the. highest risk for severe illness

being

over 400. Some cases will. confirm executives as I'm in

Washington.

Yeah, I can look that up for. you. But I do not

curious for sure. I'd have like. a one or something in that

restaurant. You know, maybe he. is. I mean, we got a lot of

senior citizens in this cabinet.. And they're not white

is yes.

Which is exactly why, from the. Health Directors desk, we sent a

memo and our environmental. health specialist who have to go

out and do the inspections of. long term facilities. Anyway, as

part of the state regulations.. We created them as a strike for

like a strike team. So that when. we sent them out with that memo

and the current North Carolina. guidance around visitor

restriction, and that came from. our our health Health Directors

desk.

Have you seen the Johns

Hopkins?

I just brought it up in my case,. unbelievable. Shame. Baby shows

the number of case Hunter 74,000. on a Friday night. Yes.

And so, yeah, if you're watching. that 1300 81,000 Yeah,

if you're watching that that map. is going up a lot quicker, I

rely on our hasip reps that come. from the state so that we're all

on the same page. But if you're. looking at that those cases are

a bit higher. And I was just. saying to someone the other day

that since you know in before. 1854, when Jon Snow did his

mapping of Broad Street in. London for cholera outbreak, we

were using mapping then and we. were using mapping now the tools

are slightly different, but help. inform us and how we put

strategies in place.

With the exception of our chair,. we have a lot of people around

they're

qualified for being

Go me this morning. Yeah.

So you may have any questions or. comments for anybody? Um, I

think, Debbie, let's talk about. the state of emergency you and I

have talked about, and I've. talked about with Brian and

Stacy, about whether or not to. declare a state of emergency for

alamance. County. So let's talk. about that in public so people

can hear those discussions and. encourage them because I'm

getting questions about that. If. we were to declare a state of

emergency, what benefit would. that give to people in the

county

is at this point, and let me. just clarify a state of

emergency is different than a. disaster declaration. A disaster

declaration means we would. qualify for reimbursement, you

know, through FEMA, should we. meet that criteria at this point

in starting the emergency it. We'll put us like higher on the

list, we're starting to get, you. know, equipment, mask, hand

sanitizer, once we get a case. here, but you know, stay proud

of our cars and you know where. my supplies go because they are

limited right now. So with that,. say, you know, I will tell you

22 counties have found the state. of emergency, now, about eight

or nine of those found today,. and it's to the fact that

schools are close now. And which. creates a little more hardship

on everybody, because we're. having to try to make

arrangements for the central. folks to get work and try to

take care of their kids to so I. think, and what they're telling

us, you know, from state down,. there is a good chance that we

might could get some money back. and

that's not

not definitely guaranteed. If. President Trump you know, has

money that he can float down. after all this is over, we could

get some reimbursed Sometimes,. the only way we could get

reimbursement is if we found a. state of emergency.

It's a state of emergency, it. can be kind of retroactive. So

you were telling me that as long. as you keep up with your

expenses and longest, so like,. if we file it tomorrow, then we

can get reimbursed going back,. as long as you've been keeping

up with the expenses, and you've. been doing them

and we have another install the. confidence, apologies to track

your calls, whatever it is that. you're spending your employees

or whatever, keep up with that. on a daily basis. So if we do

get reimbursed, you know, we'll. have a good chunk of data. We

already got the documentation,. we'll have to go back and say,

Well, what did I work on?. covered?

So, um, there's really at this. point, Monday night, there's no

definite benefit to following a. state of emergency. Right? I

don't think it just we don't. have any confirmed cases and

County. So my thinking is that. until we get a confirmed case or

until something else changes. will follow state of emergency

when we need it.

Right. And if that was a if the. President would start issuing

curfews and things like that,. then we would have to go ahead

and file one. Okay. And it's. only good for 15 days. So, you

know, we got to keep that in. mind. But you could always go

back in and, you know, a few. days.

that's entirely up to

us as a county. You know, if we. feel like we

should, the only reason I would. say, Yes, we should as

if we did get reimbursed.

Right. And we will, we will, if. it's if we need to, not doing it

down doesn't cost us anything,. right.

We'll get reimbursed for 15 days. of expense.

No, the state of emergency is. only valid.

It's only valid for 15 days you. have to do So

does anybody have Any quick if. you have any questions or

concerns about that.

And

and I will say, you know, when. we file it as occasionally all

the municipalities is covered. under it. Some of these

apologies go ahead and file. their own just for their own

peace of mind if they choose to.

And then I wanted to have a. short discussion under this

agenda item about the. commissioner meetings because

I'm being asked by members of. the public if we're going to

continue to have Commissioner. meetings. And I mean, I'm one to

five people up here. And my. thinking is that absolutely. You

know, I want to echo what Mr.. Hager had said about the

dedication and the sacrifices of. our county employees and they

are so inspiring. And Stacy. Saunders and Debbie Hatfield and

70 others have done. They're. just blown me away by Brian

Baker, our head apart and Rick. is working So hard behind the

scenes. And I feel like as the. elected people representing the

public in this government, we. should show up and support them

by doing our jobs. And you know,. as long as we stay after that

executive order in Oregon 700 or. less, as of now, that could

change on

target right now.

It really is. It's hard to keep. up with it. But

we're moving into budget season,. which is incredibly important.

We have to pass the budget by. June 30. And that is a long and

arduous process that has a lot. of stops between here and there.

And it's our duty to make sure. that we we keep that keep that

flowing in the direction to go.. So that we can have a budget on

time. And just to let the public. be aware, Mr. Hager, the county

manager and I've been talking to. If there are restrictions on the

number of people who can meet,. we would explore. Like, there's

10 people can get together at. one time, we would explore how

to do the meetings, make it. available to the public via

Facebook, or some kind of live. transmission with a camera, some

kind of web access or so that. the public is still able to

attend virtually. And then just. have the essential staff here.

So I want the public to rest. assured that the public's

business is going to be taken. care of. And a lot of counties

are doing that.

Vegas County, which way Karen is. going to merge to record. Very

awake second.

Warning, there's

all of that.

knew that could probably stop.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I don't have. any questions sit up. Is there

anything I didn't cover?

It's been very thorough.

Thank you.

Thank you very much. All right,. Stacy. Do you have a

proclamation about public health. irony.

Things are getting better.. Right?

So before you have a. proclamation for April as Public

Health Month and, you know, very. timely. And I do want to say

just before I start that, to. echo what you were saying that

it's been amazing to sort of see. all these folks come together,

both city and county, meeting. together and talking about how

we help each other. And that's. the beauty of the incident

command system that, you know,. when you come into an incident

command system, your your duty. in the incident command system

may be very different than your. duty in your everyday life. And

watching folks come together,. it's been it makes me proud of

the folks who are here and. working in those cities in those

in those county governments and. our community partners, like the

United Way and impact Alamance. to at our hospital partners who

are right now you know, really. being huge support for public

health. So I just want to thank. everybody for that. Alright, so

with that, what you have before. you is a proclamation for April

2020. And I'll just read it for. you. Whereas We hereby recognize

Okay, sir.

Good evening, commissioners. And. anything that I see we

appreciate you very much,. believe it or not, if we didn't.

We started. Tonight I'm going to. give you the standings damage

county church office, what. they've done during the year

2019 and some other things that. we're gonna be talking about the

future. First of all the. presentation is a compilation of

statistics and marriage. developments can assure

ourselves based on the 2019. year, guide your understanding

of what's gonna be going on. here. I want to explain to you

we have two different debates in. the sheriff's office. So

division, we have the operation. side, which operates outside

investigates all the crime, and. we have our detention division.

Our patrol division consists of. four patrol ships and including

green level, they respond to all. the emergency calls coming To

see calm. Then we have our. Criminal Investigation Division,

which investigates all major. crimes, fraud, property crime

day a little bit about the. frauds. Our office this year had

two particular cases where fraud. was committed. With COBOL he

bought a piece of equipment that. didn't exist and money was hated

overseas, and we were able to. save him around 300 some

thousand dollars that piece of. equipment and get that money

back. Also, we had an impact. fulfillment. I don't know why

they've done it but I. transferred a little over

$500,000 in non standard was it. was in route to Africa. But our

people got involved in it. notified the bank, the FBI, and

we were able to save that man. $500,000

and

these are just a couple of. things that are proud of it.

Done. Special Victims Unit. they. investigate domestic violence,

internet crimes against. children, which is a massive

problem right now in this nation. and mental health. We have

mental health guys trying strict. mental health that will respond

when we have an individual that. is going into a crisis

situation. This for a lot of. shootings occurring nationwide

with people going into crisis. officers responding, they wind

up having to take a life or get. their life taken and our people

are trying to deal with those. situations. On the upper right

side, we also have to pay of. crime scene investigation,

evidence and property control. specialized investigators we

have people assigned to elmen. scanning narcotic enforcement

team that are working to cartels. and the major major drug

traffickers bringing the drugs. into the automated scan. We also

have officers assigned to the. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and

Firearms and exposes federal. agency working the gun problems

in alamance. County if you're. convicted felon he called a gun

and they will come in and take. over the case go federally and

get substantial amount more time. in federal court. We also have

people signed to Drug. Enforcement Administration,

which are working to major drug. traffickers all the way from the

Mexican border, southern borders. into our main scam. We also have

some scientists, the FBI, gang. festivals, keep up with what's

going on in the Piedmont area as. far as the gangs, what they're

trying to infiltrate what type. of business they're trying to

run here in alamance County, we. also have some signs the United

States Marshal task force with. we have an individual that

chooses not to come to court and. we try to get them we try to

give them this man power and. chance if we turn it over us

Marshal fugitive Task Force, and. they'll run him all over the

country until I get it and. they're very successful. We also

have a street crimes division. under the operation bison gang,

local street. Level Big Data is. here on the streets which

affects the quality of life here. now many scanning that's what

our vice and street gangs

crimes did Special Operations. these are the guys anytime

shirts ask them to do that. I. get a call from bill actually

said look I got a neighbor Danny. I know dealing drugs given a

neighbor to heart attack, calm. Special Operations debase me and

honestly bows go down I don't. come back home somebody goes

Jake, and they'll go lay on. their watch them they'll eat

will sleep close to the kitchen.. Then we'll have our school

resource officer with 13 schools. right now. And this is a very

important position as those. school resource officers in the

school. We also have Animal. Control working with Burlington.

We have our civil process. division and our court services

which is our bite us and our. court security. On the danger

zone we have for returns. We. have special services which has

to wash their clothes 24 seven. Food Services asked to prepare.

We have a medical unit and we. have maintenance, maintenance in

the jail with the county. maintenance buddies. They have

ice detention, ice. transportation, US Marshal

detention, US Marshal. transportation and study my

transport or transport. transporting us Marshal inmates

to courts in Greensboro, Winston. and Durham where the federal

courts are hailed. And we're. also picking up I Semites that

have crossed the border. illegally and violated another

law in this state right into our. detention center where they're

being hailed until A or D pulled. it out of the United States. And

these are these. All right, this. is very interesting, that I'm

sure y'all may not be aware of. and scan continues to grow

rapidly. ganic average is an. annual population growth rate of

over 1% from 2010 to 28. And. that's as good as we could get

with 2018. population grew by. approximately 10.1% to a total

of 166,638 people of those. residents 20. And this was

gotten from the census now, of. those residents 26.1 or below

the age of 19 are presumably. enrolled and I'll match Ghana's

scope of those working age 95%. drive to and from work and those

can be found in moments county. rates. Over 66% of county

residents work within the. candidate, which means four to

4%. works out of the county or. might not work at all. Based on

the 2010 census, nearly 29% of. the county residents live in the

rural portions of county. This. represents a large portion of

the county's population, but. it's nonetheless important to

note that all county residents. depend on the sheriff's office's

services both directly and. indirectly. What a lot of people

do not understand we have to go. into the city. Many times civil

fighters, even arrest warrants,. even drug problems. And that

causes a lot of work that. normally a municipal law

enforcement agent don't have to. do. They don't serve civil pipe.

They certainly don't run to J.. Laying ominous bound city

Berlin's estimated population of. 53,748 as of 2018. The cities of

Melbourne Graham are staggering.. The third most populated

testament this penalty at. 15,589 15,086 persons

respectively. All elements,. municipalities are much smaller,

but the population of a lot and. the resilient traffic swells

during the season of class or. insulation a cottage and you

would not believe the amount of. traffic increases when school

opens the current container.. Yeah.

And with that, it causes. problems for us to come. Lot of

drunk driving. Coming into a. line product to sale to the

college and we have to work it.. As always Thanks yourself dr

services both directly and. indirectly to all county

residents where they live within. municipality or not. For

example, sheriff's office or. civil Piper's provides core

security and maintains the. county jail on behalf of all

residents and that is a. headache. Mr. lashley I can tell

you additionally, have we drove. vision one of the only two

dedicated Animal Services. Division in the county and

assist municipalities as needed.. Moreover, Daphne spent a

significant amount of time. traveling through the city so

they naturally encounter. residents, they that they might

not otherwise encounter in the. rural areas, which are violating

certain laws, trafficking drugs,. stolen cars, etc. More

importantly, though, criminals. from the city do not confine

themselves to the city or. municipal limits, and vice

versa. Therefore is not uncommon. to find the offender

perpetrating crimes in the city. as well as again, as a result

Sheriff's Office investigations. do not stop at the city limits.

And its various division can be. found working inside

municipalities pursuant to the. sheriff's office investigation.

Initially Sheriff's Office. assist in this way. And we do a

lot

of that. Working together.

We have a wonderful working. relationship with all the other

agencies in this county and all. the other departments in this

include new birth

dates the population demographic. traffic volume steadily shared

the movement of people within. out of the cannon can be useful

in determining the impact of a. given population on government

infrastructure. I don't know if. y'all pay close attention. But

the traffic here and alamance. County is almost lagging is in

California, some of the areas. and it's growing every day, on

average the interstate city. Nearly 120,000 vehicles pass

through this county each day.. And I can tell you this a lot of

your cartel drug traffickers are. coming right down those

interstates. Additionally in. Burlington, US sadly from

Guilford County tallies nearly. 14,000. And in may have been us

in Lawrence County talents 9000.. You say Where are you getting

these figures here from the. Department of Transportation.

They have cameras up, they do. this all the time. Although much

thoroughfares begin and. terminate at the county lines

outside of them. This passes. these roads a substantial

traffic every day, as evidenced. by the counts below and see 87

or 3700. It's a six to ignore. 2000, Inslee 49 2900, and so you

119 2060 to 2849 so 20 187, so. 2700 and say 54 6600 You can bet

that a lot of the criminal. element are passing through this

county from other counties and. also coming to alamance. County

to commit their crimes. You're. in 2019. The sheriff's office

handled 86,404 calls for. service.

Yeah. call for service when an. average response time and this

is amazing. 12 minutes and 47. seconds. We're covering 435

square miles. And most of them. we only have nine patrol

deputies on patrol, which is. could be dangerous. average

total call duration of 54. minutes 12 seconds. Now let me

tell you it it that is not the. reports these deputies have to

do is say wire and don't report.. That's just the amount of time

only prior to So, typically. calls of service are handled by

throw v. This is in comparison. to 82,000 feet same call for

service in 2018 and increased. 5.30%. However, life Jim, this

is the only the calls coming. into central communications.

Most numerous calls for type. service 5525 security checks

individual, you have to go find. him. He ain't. They don't give

you something I'm getting 4004. and pvh speak to an offer called

1786 long call 2495 and we'll. call and 1200 fits for emergency

line 911 painter. Now, let me. show you this. This is not all

the color It comes into that. sheriff's office and how many

it's not those that walk in. We. have probably every day we

probably had seven to 10 people. walk in won't report a crime or

something involved in some. problems with with another

neighbor and he calls for. service which are routed to

Alamance Central communication.. Sheriff's Office also receives a

large amount of incoming. telephone calls via publicly

available direct number.

Coming to get

done calls for the year on those. lines work and this is a

2019 12,100 calls to the. mainline 570 6300s 1133 calls to

those innocent incidents are. nonetheless followed up by

Special Victims Unit where there. is evidence of domestic violence

safe. They call 911 calls. We. have a lot of over the nation

these are things that we try to. keep up with before they go out

be treated like a homicide until. it is proven different. And

that's what most people do. At. the end of the year Sure,

which are generally counted. independently of the overall age

the calls for service are shown. to these cows they made 3046

through the context, the contact. and once I compensate for wrong

contact. They were also some. charges filed. Third one but

because of juvenile stuff like. it, we don't have that sheriff's

office. Sheriff's Office special. response team is trained and

equipped to handle emergency. high risk situation in order to

board with when there is an. increased threat to the safety

of the officers or the public.. They came train 140 hours during

the year and were floored 25. times. The Sheriff's Office

Mobile field forces utilize when. there is a risk of civil

disorder. They train 76 hours. during the year and were

deployed five times. One. particularly notable deployment

was witnessed by some formations. here. The following was November

were blocking the roadway on. South Maple Street and West

McKinstry in Grand. The mobile. fire force units hailed the

demonstrators that by The. situation came to a peaceful

resolution. The unit also assist. other agencies as needed, for

example, at the request of. Charlotte Mecklenburg police

kit but let me pay you I won't. pay some things back. During the

year sheriff's office was. fortunate to acquire a new state

of the art ultra capable armored. vehicle that has already been

utilized. already been utilized. in several high risk war

scenarios, barricaded. circumstances and hostage

situations. The armored vehicle. platform the fire can produce by

link can be utilized for rescue. missions, active shooter

situations and other other daily. accounts. The number one goal is

to enable officers to respond to. high risk situations where they

can render a and save lives.. Fire kit was purchased Please

listen media. So the drug asset. forfeiture money. Money's taken

from the drug

There's the picture of the bar. here remember

everybody see that? Okay

way? Well, we

just don't forget to caucus. almost

like promotions or to ride a. bike

That's cool.

Let me tell you this this past. week we got called by raga named

the guy was taking in post out. from sandwich prior down on

Sunday morning. Oh yeah,. hostage. Hey, open sob I asked

about my last play just off. highway 87. We had to pull a

fire kit. The guy would not. released too often or come out.

When that Bearcat pulled up his. front door he released the

hostage and then he went and he. is so More than half we found

him in high def fire pit is for. officer safety and a sense of

safety. For instance, we had. been houses real close to this.

We'd use that bar at Bearcat to. get those citizens out of the

area before we went in. During. the year sir SOS fortunate

them in situations that like the. college demonstration that those

individuals had pulled coffins. in the middle of the road and

was refusing the day things are. mobile force going in. pushed

him back out of the street. And. he say some of the other

officers soldier backing him up.. That is very important in civil

animal survey reported 92. positive outcome right on an

intake of 5638 pounds that is. almost unrealistic. city of

Berlin accounts for 29% of those. intake in the county and outside

municipal limits accounts for. 50% of the intake. During the

year, only 174 animals were. forced to be euthanized while

150 were euthanized at its. owners request. The result is an

overall utilization rate of. 5.69%. This is a stark contrast

to years past such as the last. peak in 2011 where there were so

7013 intake and 5388 animals. euthanized resulting in a

utilization rate of 76.83%. So. they are doing fine with the

animals etc. They're not having. to euthanize is mean burly

financial services managed by. city Berlin in partnership and

folks, there is a headache.. Nobody wants to have a central

Piper server. I can take the. sheriff's office a 14,376 civil

pipe before service during the. year of those land files. 179

were served successfully. While. the rats were returned unserved

to the court record. Those. fibers included 1797 civil

summons is 3699 magistrate. summonses 3100 In 34, so

payments, 360 executions, 869. writs of real and personal

property 419, juvenile. summonses, 726 and voluntary

commitments, and 550 for. domestic violence and no contact

orders and 1374 orders to show. calls. Once again, I want to

reiterate that these places a. lot of these people don't want

to be found, and it is manpower. intensive. We have to go back

numerous times we you know, we. have to chase them all over the

place to get some of these. papers served. So, we're very

lucky to use many services we. did. So fibers are primarily

served by the Civil Division,. particularly requiring expertise

but other divisions driven. heavily, heavily in way. For

example, the majority of the. Spanish are served by the

administration, my office people. girl setting an officer and

patrol evasion most involuntary. commitment in domestic violence

order. protective orders are. served by the Special Victims

Unit. those particular papers. are very dangerous for officers

to serve domestic violence. And. a number of the survivors are

served in the lobby chairs. formed by any deputy available

front office statistics during. the year administrative division

process 1543 pistol purchase. permit applications and they

issued 3000 safety if you say. well how did hunt 1504 30 plan a

shoe that mean you get as many. purchase orders if you want as

long as you pass the background. and you

pay the $5 per

purchase, not on fees for. national concealed handgun

permit applications. One by one. or 96 handgun permit renewal

1384 miscellaneous fine print. color we find print teachers I

know when scope started our. lobby filled up with I don't

know how many teachers to be. fingerprinted because it This

scope will

have a record and fine print and. it does work

since the initial concealed. handgun permit application

clarifying Ranger Sheriff's. Office fine print over 2300

people for non criminal matters. as teachers, people wanting jobs

or wanting to adopt a child it. says trying to station Sheriff's

Office personnel trying to get. his mind go is to offer up to

date and valuable training. opportunity to officers so as to

equip them to best handle any. situation they might encounter.

You're new to the year Sheriff's. Office recording the falling

numbers of finding out 4094. hours of state required training

for day after state requires. that much and I'm telling with

the man man man fire we got. having to pull them off straight

with vacation sick leave etc.. It's tough to get them in there.

2530 hours of state required. training detention officers has

taken on filming 13,137 hours or. trying to beyond that which the

state required. I believe, if my. expectations of my officers

would appear, I need to supply. the training necessary to keep

them up. And we have we've got. good officers detention and

outside very way. All together.. This represents a total of

19,761 hours of jobs from. sitting continuing education.

miles driven this is worth from. shocking, dude, not your law

enforcement. Sure. So this means. I sniff him out of town on

alamance County, North Carolina. raves. I tell my people, if

you're not on the call, you. better be moving around. You

better be checking the stores. and the business in the county.

If you say don't farm on the. organ on the tractor, some get

out talk to him. That's where. you get your information of

those individuals that are not. needed in the community, the

criminal element you're New Year. serious serious offers low

1,619,952 miles. This number. includes most but not all the

sheriff's office vehicle.. Specifically now low miles were

low because many vehicles do not. receive tracking devices or did

not receive tracking bikes until. March of 2019. Furthermore,

there's often a delay and want. to show us overseas a new

vehicle and when the GPS device. is installed, does not every

single mile is accounted for. throughout the year. Based on a

10 month average 150,495.6 miles. is low per month. It is

estimated tow miles for the year. would be close to 1,800,000

miles. That's a lot of miles.

fabled

man, don't get into what I say. is some of the crust of what

we're trying to show you and try. to get People to pour with the

other agencies in accounting it. go over the recruiting

experience app in addition to. difficulty and try attracting

new applicants and retraining. officers retaining offers. In

some cases, there's often space. and inability to attract offers

with prior spit experiment. One. of the benefits of hiring

experience officers is that the. agency often obtains individuals

who have already received. valuable job related training

and are pro rated, thereby. reducing personally on hiring

explains, which is massive that. you will see in just a minute.

Primary off school is to offer. an experience offer a

competitive salary without. hiring them at a higher wage

than a comparable officer that. is already employed with the

sheriff's office. For example,. consider the following scenario

and puts your place in offer.. It's already working for the

sheriff's office. Employee a has. been with me in Spanish airsoft

for 36 months qualifies to be A. deputy detention officer three

to pay grade 68 with a starting. salary of $38,128. Africa B who

is currently employed by another. agent has been there 36 months

and they'll say it's the same. amount experienced employee a

locksmith and application. development skin and the other

agency, the average salary. equivalent to damage Kenny

deputation off of three is. $50,833. And we wonder why we're

losing some of these officers. with a lot of experience so

these other places does either. after baby would have to incur a

$12,705 pay decrease or a. mechanic would have to hire him

or her at a rate higher than. employee a thereby causing

retention issues with existing. person I think about it if you

was working on scanning and I. heard again, you were orangish

this hour just as long as the. officer I hired coming in and I

put him at 100 salary. They need. you, and Taryn co This is where

we get into the main grid. training equipment initial

salary. As you folks see the. cost of the background strain

screen. Sara during six weeks of. in surf training, this is for

detention officers only here. boats and material uniforms and

equipment. You're looking at. $9,637 and 25 cents. Okay. Then

when attention officer field. training, we have to pay their

salary. You say that a total of. $15,606 and 87 cents? Well, let

me just say it if we lost last. year 23 detention officers at

the rate of $25,244 in oil since. one call steps to replace that

Officer 23 officers Was. $580,000 640 $508,614 same

mistake same that's almost five. cent raise from I paid almost

offset right? They let's look at. the Bailey t right there you go

but cost the background. screening salary during training

16 weeks books materials,. uniformed ammunition said a

total of $21,533 then you look. at the trainees salary, he has

to be in field training for 16. weeks going to be able to take

said and then the training. officer Sally who has to work

with him during that four to 10. year living, I think $46,504 and

we had to hire eight new ones. last year. They live for better

salaries. If you look at. $329,490 that's over $809,000

right there. And that is very. important. We lost two civilian

employees. But we were there not. harder place because there is

but people that come in, that we. hire straight up don't have to

go to any training other than. within the Office or what

personnel to learn what they're. doing.

come January 2019, through. February 2014. Now he's going to

share some experience.

Yeah, experience a turnover rate. of 33 people 33 people and we

have only three I think. throughout our land positions

and the sheriff's office. Some. of those have not been failed

because we don't play on salary.. That's almost Dempsey almost

dancing. Of those 23 rotation. offers a we're dead bees and two

are civilian employees. They're. raised for leaving plenty but

personal economic reasons. regarding saved right shares off

the budget was negatively. impacted by their decision The

you but as you see, we are way. behind somebody's face, and they

take our people, the ladies I. do. And the thing that I can't

reiterate yo is not only do they. take the money and take them

away from us, but they're taking. some of our people, hey, man in

10 years experience that you can. replace by hiring a new guy out

here. And with that comes. problem, things that could

happen to call a lawsuit. They. cost the county every day if

something goes wrong because of. lack of experience or training.

That's why I'm so doggone. important that we're able to

hold on to these people. Because. right now 60% of our detention

center employee has been are. probably less than three years.

What percentage would you say?. 60% 60? Yeah,

I'd say 60%.

We're going with the

comparison containing I don't. have to say the rate all that

in that respect. We're

if you're looking at our salary. schedule head, we maintain that

would be a lot better off. because we're showing the team

and officer, three global. lieutenants sergeant, Lieutenant

Captain major, you see apart,. we're behind. Look at the

difference. It's just sort of. says Macedon face up but I have

the best stay that I have ever. had in my home. 19 years of

church life. We're doing more. than any other agency in

surrounding counties in this. state. And the thing is, we're

wearing these fake Wow. And when. somebody asked More money.

They're going good. I had a guy. come in about four weeks ago.

Say Sure. On tears in his eyes.. Should I leave you being good to

him? He says, but I'm gonna be. able to make 30,000 on the phone

you paid me to go when Homeland. Security our people are well

trained. fans would love to get. some bark like when I'm fine

like, hey, two people here. This. is a lions fan. This is my own

cannon. I care what goes on. here. I care for crime gets

solved or not. Some agencies. don't say that but they don't.

And so we'll go on the cliff and. if you want to play the career

ladder we did established career. ladder product coming off as

years ago. But to tie in that. career ladder is good for

devante one and Deputy. Nothing. comes after that. If I stay good

18 months good as a deputy one. legged four and a half present,

present ready to go today to do. some things. To buy, have good

and ride it for 36 months I get. to a day three after that the

only way they can get promoted. and get a raise is if I call for

position opens, and you know,. smash down core positions. When

they get on look around Sergeant. money gets better good ages,

they leave and when they first. come on, they migrate

on the last page.

We put this together and I'm. hoping you folks and I know it's

not budget time. But please,. please take a look at this. If

you will look at the money we. are paying to retrain officers.

And if you will look at the. experience that we're losing. We

have made a salary increase. proposal and five cent eight

cent 10% and 20% I can take if. Good Lord will allow us to get

an 8% rate it would put us. pretty equal to Everybody else,

and I've talked to Brian, he is. wanting every year to be able to

do the merit like event. Is that. accurate? I've told him if we

could get that 8% I would, after. that go for six and a half for

my paper on America. And that. would keep us pretty much in

competition with some of the. local agencies around here.

But I don't know how

y'all feel. I know y'all. appreciate

what all the county employees. do. But let me tell you some I

got some officers to qualify for. food stamps. You look right

here. These people come tonight.. They work every day busting

their chops, putting their life. on the line for the people here

in the county. And I have never. called on him to come out that

day didn't come regardless. Christmassy, Easter, or whatever

you I believe and what we're. trying to do here now it's

candy. And folks, I got to keep. these people. I'm asking you to

look at heart, and you. pocketbook run and and see what

you can do for my people. These. are career officers that won't

be here for free around the edge. cannon, but they also have to

feed their family.

You know, I've been up here for. a long time for too long. I've

never seen a more passionate. concern, academic presentation

in my life than what you've done. here in life. And I mean, and I

would say you that we're in the. middle of the state of two

business in the States on the. east. And if you take a social

economic picture, this can I. would say, that alone would show

a demand for 10%

more involvement of

versus average department. yourself. I'm trying to say Yes,

sir. I did this myself,

and I'm a patient. Pam, I live. with it every day watching my

people bust their chops. And I'm. telling you now, I know your

hands are tied in a lot of ways.. But I would ask you, she's been

and watch some of our. operations. Steve, watch some of

our operations. And I'm Ted. aren't people bust their chops?

And they do it for you and me. and the people is Campbell's.

Right. And, and I'm not and. listen, I know, ERP departments

in each county needs raises too.. But I'm telling you, we're going

to lose a bunch of our people. and the more you lose, the less

effort you have, the more. problems you're going to have

with employees and more. problems. We don't have to

discount. And these innovations. later you look at they work

every single day to make sure. this can escape sight and we do

it The right way. I have never. had a citizen call this office,

even if I live in the city say I. can't get nobody to do it. I

call my people in I said, Look,. if I can, if taxes, go take care

of the problem, and they go take. care of the problem. And the sad

people do pay taxes. And I feel. responsible to those individuals

to calculate both yo and they. vote for me. And they expect us

to do our job. In this poll, I. guess that's all I gotta say.

Job me. I asked y'all to please. look at doing something for my

people. And I promise you that. you'll never be disappointed.

Thank you. Let's have a 10. minute recess, please. All

right, next item on our agenda. is presentation by Mr. Hager

about alamance County Detention. officer says security bridge

allowance which I know he has. spent he and the sheriff has

spent many, many, many hours. working on this topic.

Thank you. Thank you. commissioners. Good evening. No,

I will say appreciate the. passion that the sheriff shows

in support of his folks that. have questions about that I've

been with the county 22 years. and I'll be the first to tell

you that at this time I think no. one's gonna share as Portland is

the best for both men and women. that either say for their best

training best outfitted and they. do a great job. And you know, I

will say that we've been. watching turnover county

government for the past at least. two years really tracking it

closely and Deputy Warden. detention one or two of the

highest turnover positions. We. know that project Sure. This

type of work that they've done. to put together the salary

numbers and we're working on the. budget will be coming to you

April 6. With the retreat. information trying to give you

overall look where we're at. We. recognize this, we recognize

that there's a lot of turnover. in our emergency service, build

other high turnover positions. telecommunicator paramedic, and

then of course we have some. other ones that are pretty high

turnover too. But just. appreciate the work Sheriff did

put that together for all the. detention officers on the floor.

So there's some things off here.. I'm talking about this detention

officer security bridge allows. and I just want to say that

serve has really been. spearheaded on this and has not

let it go and has worked with me. and legal and human resources to

put this option for the. commissioners considered

together and we appreciate that.. So no further ado, talk a little

bit about this new potential. benefit for our detention

officers. If you remember. commissioners back on March

18 2019. The commissioners. approved the resolution

supporting a local bill we sent. a local bill down to Raleigh

asked him for permission to. create a detention officer

Separation allowance. The. sheriff's office was viewing

that benefit as a recruiting and. retention tool. The idea would

be, we'd be one of if not the. only detention center state that

offers this benefit similar to. the separation allowance that

patrols when officers get. But. the county is not able to offer

that benefit. We have asked the. state to allow us to do that in

the way that we put it together.. So the commissioners voted to

send a request to Raleigh to get. the county permission to offer

separation allows for detention. officers. And as you know that

bill still in committee, it's. been in committee ever since

kind of his languished in. Raleigh since that time. So

Sheriff has been like a whole. load on that thing and has

continued to tell us how. important he believe this is to

recruit and retain quality. detention officers. So we've

come up with an option for the. commissioners to consider that

can be done at the local level,. and it's very similar to the

original Separation allowance. that we sent to the General

Assembly. And we've titled this. new benefit for pension officers

alamance County Detention. officer Social Security bridge

allowance. So this would be a. new benefit for eligible

detention officers. And again,. it's very similar to the

separation allowance that we put. together before, the board would

have to vote to implement this. new benefit. So it would take a

vote by the Board of. Commissioners, one of the main

differences between this new. benefit and we'll talk a little

bit about the particulars on it.. And the wall the that we sent to

Raleigh, is that if the Board of. Commissioners approves this

benefit, the authority to. approve or resend rides with the

40 Commissioner so the. commissioners could at later

date vote to remove this. benefit. But once a detention

officer retires, under this. benefit, we would sign a

contract with that detention. officer. Once they retire, they

receive the Social Security. grades allowance until they're

eligible for Social Security,. even if the commissioners were

to vote to not always For the. benefit to anyone else, so at

time of retirement, the officer. would come to us we'd sign a

contract, they would retire,. they would be paid regardless of

any action. Wonderful.

So, for this social security. bridge allowance for detention

officers, the eligibility. requirements are the same as

ones that were in the separation. allowance. The detention officer

would have to demonstrate that. they had sort of 15 consecutive

years of alamance County. Detention Facility and they must

be eligible for eligible for for. local government Retirement

System return, which means they. would need to have 30 years of

service at any age, or 25 years. of service at age 60. And what

this bridge allows would do. would be they'd start drawing

their retirement, this allowance. would kick in and supplement

their retirement income until. they were eligible to receive

Social Care. So currently at the. detention center, there are 112

there are 64 of the total. hundred 12 detention officers

are eligible for this program,. some folks would not be able to

simply because of their age,. they might be going to retire a

point where they wouldn't be. eligible. But 64 detention

officers on staff right now. wouldn't be able to that doesn't

mean they receive it. immediately. It just means they

could hit the 15 years of. service with and 40 of those 64

that are eligible have less than. five years of service. So this

kind of goes along with what. cert was talking about. They

have lots of turnover in. detention, while new folks work

into detention. So we've got. people there that if they work

15 years with us and hit these. eligibility for retirement

services amounts, they would. they would be able to receive

this.

So the calls there is a cause. for the benefit. We have

estimated that it would cost. approximately $21,000 per

eligible detention officer that. once they retire, right, so

we've looked at all the. detention officers that are

eligible that are on the. county's payroll right now.

We've got Those $21,000 per. detention officer, we did the

same thing for the sworn side of. the house, right. So the sworn

officers are eligible for a. separation allowance. That's a

law, not a local benefit.. There's $1 amount that we pay

every year for them to. So we've. looked at the sheriff's staffing

levels. And when we think folks. would be eligible to retire to

try to project what that costs. might be folks if eligible

detention officer started. retiring this year 1920. That's

the year we are in right now. We. have one detention officer that

would be eligible to retire and. meet all the requirements. If

the commissioners voted tonight,. the institute this new benefit,

and the attention also retired. it would cost $21,000 to start

the benefit for the pension. officer, then we looked out in

future years. So for next year's. budget 2021 we would have to

budget $42,000 because there are. two detention officers that

could retire that might be. eligible that would be eligible

for benefit. In fiscal year. 2122, we would budget $63,000 to

cover the costs of this benefit. for those three eligible

detention officers that would. retire, and then all the way

from fiscal year 2122 to fiscal. year 3132. The cost of the

program we are estimating it to. be $63,000 annually after the

3132 fiscal year, that's a. little way out and it does start

going up. But that's a long time. we feel like looking out to 3132

is probably about as far as so. we if you vote to institute

this, we believe that it would. get up to $63,000 a year that we

would need to budget for next. fiscal year budget it would be

$42,000. And just some general. information about the social

security bridge allowance. It is. capped for Social Security

amount. This is different than. the law, the resolution that we

sent to Raleigh for the. separation allowances.

Different, we are required to. cap the amount that a detention

officer could receive to be no. more than what they would

receive. If they when they get. their Social Security is a

little different than the wall.. There is no tax impact for the

detention officer, it's not. considered deferred compensation

so they're not gonna have to pay. taxes on it until they are

eligible for it. In the division. officer can work all the way

through so security age if they. want to they don't have to

retire take this, but it's an. option that I'm sure they would

consider. And we would include. this the language and you had in

your packet the actual policy. language for this for this new

benefit. Women include that. language in our policy manual.

And the sheriff's department in. the detention center wouldn't be

able to use this new benefit for. recruiting purposes. So they

would be able to tell employees. at the time they're talking to

them trying to get them to come. to work for the detention

office, that they this benefit. does exist they would be

eligible for so summary. This is. pension officer Social Security

bridge allowance is very similar. to the separation allowance that

we have sent down the road. It. would take Board approval and

only continue as long as the. Board of Commissioners were

supportive of it continued.. There is a social security cap

that is a difference between the. separation allowance but it is

not a major difference. If the. board votes to institute this,

we would budget $42,000 next. fiscal year to cover our

projected costs. And the costs. are pretty stable through 3132.

And again, it does require a. Board of Commissioners to

initiate so as you know,. detention officers very

difficult job. I don't know that. personally, I just know going

over to visit and look at my. maintenance times in the

detention center. It's a tough. job. We have a difficult time

recruiting folks to do that work. and a very difficult time to

keep it on board. So this is a. reasonable benefit to consider

something that I think the. shares can Office hopes will

help them recruit high quality. people hopefully recruit people

that are already working in. detention elsewhere that would

realize that this was a benefit. that alamance County is

offering. And then they would,. they would come here. So we're,

we're interested in flipping the. script, as the sheriff just

talked about how our folks have. been recruited by others. We

hope this might help us offer a. benefit that other folks don't

have. So I'll be happy to answer. your questions. I'm sure we'd be

happy to answer you think about. what this might mean for

potential.

I'll make a motion that we. approve it.

Thank you. Quick question.

Yeah. Supporting

the philosophy of this carrying. over to other departments.

Is it possible that legal work. issue there? It is, it is

understands as possible and. legal. We're looking at it as a

recruiting and retention tool. specifically for detention. So

is something that could be. considered, although I think one

of the main issues here and one. of the main benefits, I think

attention is that the sworn. officers and patrol have the

same benefit through the wall.. And in detention officers do

not. And detentions work is my. humble opinion very difficult to

and so it one it brings a little. parody. And two, I think it will

it will put the alamance County. Detention Center ahead of the

pack for a lot of other. detention centers when they're

trying to bring people in

sexual action.

Any more questions or. discussion? All right, we have a

motion by Mr. Carter and a. second by Mr. lashley. If

there's no further discussion,. all in favor, please say aye.

Anyone opposed?

Next on deck is Texas Mr. Mr.. Jones.

Well wait, no, we have. SharePoint stats, right? It's

the niche that's

meant to show y'all. We do a. whole lot but if you run that by

as 340 big some found the. garbage that our ma is picked up

momentum finds rogue.

One day.

I want y'all to see

we've got a whole lot of things. going on.

up off of one.

Yeah, those are that

struggle, Bailey T. Those are. our inmates.

They loved it. Believe me, they. loved it

for me as having people after to. make sure they don't run and

they're not gonna run but we. have to have faith.

And that was just one day. I. happen to see it when

Tell you what it calls it calls.. People know Ford mechanic was

run by saying, hey, I need to

transform the brand.

We collect. They're calling me. now I'm transferring them.

Sir, then your call line. And so. I do want to clarify one point

commissioners about the petition. officer supplement. We were

thinking to make that effective. immediately. So if that's us

want to make sure that's clear. and acceptable to the board.

Okay. So we're going to talk. about accelerating revaluation

cycles.

Absolutely. Thank you.

presentation. I will be lost. without my notes.

I have a former pastor that says. Blessed is He precess with notes

because he knows what he's. finished.

There we go. All right. Well,. thank you for having me here

this evening to talk about the. revaluation cycle and kind of

what would it look like if we. accelerated the cycle? What are

the costs or the benefits. And. I'd like to start with just a

quick review. So in North. Carolina, the minimum frequency

is every eight years and that's. what alamance County has been

doing before evaluation. But. counties have the option to

accelerate it to any cycle less. than that, that they so desire.

Now, if you look at the. statistics statewide 54 counties

are on the eight year cycle and. 34 counties are on the four year

cycle. So definitely the. predominant cycle statewide is

still the eight year but the. four year is not an uncommon

cycle, considering one and three. are on that one. And there are a

few other cycles out there.. Obviously we can put it wherever

we want to Now for what may be a. better comparison, I looked at

the Department of Revenue, the. way that they break down the

counties by population. And we. are in the highest population

bracket of 100,000. Plus,. there's 27 counties in that

bracket. And if we look at that. bracket, it reverses itself.

eight counties from the eight. year cycle 15 are on four. So

now if we if we group with peers. based on population, it's to the

one to four year cycle. And that. kind of begs the question, why

is it that the higher population. counties prefer the shorter

cycle, whereas statewide in fist. a longer cycle is preferred, and

a lot of it has to do with. growth. The higher population

counties are growing faster, and. it's advantageous for growth to

go to a shorter cycle.. Additionally, if you're a lower

population, county resources can. be an issue at our scale. It's

not that bad. I also look to. some of our neighbors and I find

neighbors They could live in. alamance County and commute to

work. So at 540 I'm thinking. Raleigh Durham on one side went

to sale on the other side, and. then just north and south a

little bit. Along with us on the. eight year cycle is Rockingham

person and Davidson, Guilford. and Randolph have already

accelerated to a five year. cycle. Orange Chatham castle for

sight the weight accelerated to. a four year cycle. And Durham is

on a three year cycle which is. the shortest cycle in the state.

So among our kind of neighboring. group, again, is predominantly

accelerated cycles, with the. most common being for years.

One last illustration. This is a. county map and if it's not

shaded, it's still on an eight.. The shading indicates any level

of acceleration. Again,. predominantly the four in

orange, and you can see that. we're nestled right in within

our region it is very common to. have some form of accelerated

cycle. Now, we're talking about. a revaluation we should think

about, you know, what does this. entail? What are we talking

about doing. And the traditional. approach is that you spend the

two to four years before the. revaluation date, trying to

clean up your data. Okay, so. garbage in garbage out good,

they have good data out. situation, and use teams of

individuals to go out and visit. all the properties, other teams

of individuals to code does in. your computer system. And once

you've got your data clean, you. go on to phase two, which is the

value review phase. So at this. point, you're setting up your

schedule of values, that's your. rate tables, you're setting land

rate, neighborhood level. valuation and an individual

property level valuation. And. traditionally, those two go

together as a package. And. that's what we would call a

revaluation. alamance County has. already left that model in favor

of the split approach. So we see. the two phases as two separate

Things that we're trying to do.. So with data maintenance,

instead of going out and looking. at the whole county, once in

eight years, we look at one. eighth of the county every year.

Now, this is just data cleanup.. We're not talking about changing

values, we're just making sure. that we have up to date

accurate, clean data. This frees. us up so that when we're talking

about the revaluation cycle,. we're really just talking about

the value review component. The. other part is already locked

down and in process we're. debating when do you do value

review on an A on a for. something else. Now cost wise to

maintain that data had to. appraisers which are in place

now. salary and fringe on those. are about 115,002 vehicles, and

I just annualized the cost of. the vehicles and included

shoulder pair that's $1,000. supplies and equipment is 6500

license fees 4500 training 1000. oblique photography 45,000. So

that's where the plane flies. over. It takes Front, back left

and right pictures and then. they're kind of mixed together

into a 3d model. That's an. important component of this data

maintenance program. So all told. us 180,000 per year, and that

piece is taken care of, it's. just running year after year, if

we wanted to actually change. those values as part of

revaluation, that is the value. review piece of it. So per

project, so this is a two year. period of work. You're looking

at $200,000 or 100,000 a year. contract for a retail

coordinator, and that's about. $50 an hour which is the

standard rate to get that skill. level of person to come in and

do the kind of work that we. would need done. Additionally,

there's about 55,000 print. postage, we've got to get

notices out 3000 subscriptions. is 6000 Consulting Over the

course of a city, your project. will be about 264,000 or about

132 per year. And this is not. 132 every year, it's just two

years. So if you're on an eight. year cycle, six years, you don't

spend it two years you do from a. four year cycle, you're two on

two off.

So to put that together right. now, for an eight year cycle,

the data maintenance piece is. 1.4 million. The value review

piece is 264,000 for a total. cost of 1.7 million. Now to put

that in context, are 2009 refile. was 1.6 million. Initial budget

for the 2017 was 1.8, which was. a very realistic number. We

found ways to have quite a bit. of savings on that, but that's a

typical and Canada's reality. check. I looked at other

counties have similar parcel. counts and hold their calls for

parcel to Reval. Average that. back and applies it to alamance.

County and it will call for. about 1.7 as well. So I think

1.7 is a good baseline for us.. If we wanted to go to a four

year cycle, well initially,. that's half as many years of

data maintenance that's half as. much. Same value review cost is

just under a million dollars to. do that revaluation but you have

to do twice as many. So at the. end of the day, you end up

spending just as much on data. maintenance, but you're doing

the value reviews twice, so it's. an extra 264,000. That's the

difference to go from an eight. to a four is an extra 264,000

bring it up to just under $2. million over an eight year span.
