4. In-depth discussion and topics
A. Clean energy resolution and sustainability updates
Public Space and Sustainability Manager Stephanie Trueblood gave a presentation on the town’s progress
toward sustainability goals and identified needs for future improvement.
Trueblood provided an update on sustainability efforts completed since the town adopted a clean energy
resolution in September 2017. The resolution supports achieving 80% clean energy for town operations by
2030 and 100% by 2050. Trueblood showcased how the town has made significant advancements in lowering
the environmental impact of local government operations, concluding that Hillsborough has become a more
sustainable town overall. Key milestones and progress include:
• Implementing a telecommuting policy for employees in 2022.

• Publishing the Comprehensive Sustainability Plan in 2023.
• Adopting a Vision Zero policy in 2023.
Trueblood also highlighted the importance of integrating sustainability into town departments such as
community services, utilities and police. She noted these efforts are strengthened through strategic
partnerships with organizations like the Central Pines Regional Council and the Southeast Sustainability
Directors Network.
Trueblood also emphasized areas of concern, indicating the resolution goals will likely not be met given
slower progress during the pandemic. She said the town cannot meet the clean energy goals solely through
solar photovoltaic panels and must consider alternative solutions. She highlighted upcoming sustainability
efforts and projects, including:
• Updating the future land use map and rewriting the Unified Development Ordinance.
• Continuing development on the net-zero ready goal for the future train station.
• Planning for electric vehicle charging and fueling infrastructure.
• Planning the Ridgewalk greenway development.
Ferguson requested more information on other jurisdictions’ strategies to promote multimodal
transportation usage, especially for visitors. Trueblood clarified that neighboring communities like Carrboro
and Chapel Hill have greenway plans similar to the town’s planned Ridgewalk development. Additionally, the
future train station will provide more sustainable travel opportunities for long-distance visitors.
Trueblood explained that the town has annually allocated $300,000 over the past three years for
sustainability, totaling roughly $900,000 in the general fund for future efforts. She highlighted potential
projects that could use these funds, including:
• Solar panel development for the train station.
• Energy tracking and management software.
• A sustainability intern.
• Green Source Advantage program.
• Battery backup for climate adaptation.
Trueblood clarified that these funds could not be used for sustainability initiatives in the utilities system
without dedicated funding outside the General Fund. Trueblood requested additional focus be placed on
funding utility sustainability projects moving forward since 77% of the town’s electrical usage originates from
water and wastewater operations.
Policy needs also were discussed, including continued work on an electronic records and imaging policy to
reduce paper waste. Hughes asked for clarification on the current restrictions and schedule for electronic
retention and disposition. Town Clerk and Human Resources Technician Sarah Kimrey clarified that statutes
and regulations for North Carolina local governments make electronic records and imaging policies complex.
However, research on these regulations is underway and will continue.
Trueblood emphasized that the town seeks to make sustainability a key aspect of the community through
programs and education. While the town lacks resources to fund all programs internally, key partnerships
may help further address these efforts.
Hughes asked if an updated sustainability resolution was needed, given setbacks and changes over the past
seven years. Ferguson suggested that the original resolution should remain with the Comprehensive
Sustainability Plan, acting as an updated and more action-oriented document.

Commissioner Evelyn Lloyd joined the meeting at 7:18 p.m.
The mayor called for a brief recess at 8:13 p.m. He reconvened the meeting at 8:19 p.m.
B. Framing of issues and finances for the Fiscal Year 2025-27 Budgetary Planning Retreat
To allow more time for discussion, questions and deliberation during the Feb. 17 budget retreat, Town
Manager Eric Peterson provided the traditional framing of issues and the town’s financial picture to the
board during this work session.
Peterson discussed current positive financial indicators for the town, including:
• Audit and monthly postings being up to date.
• Strong savings, although artificially high due to the pandemic.
• Employee turnover slowing, with many positions being filled.
• Lower health insurance costs for employees.
• Competitive taxes.
• A strong trend of positive growth overall.
The manager highlighted general fund concerns and potential issue areas for the town over the next three
fiscal years, including:
• Substantial growth outpacing available resources.
• Projected deficits each year totaling over 10% in FY26.
• Sales tax showing a significant decrease by over 20% since last year.
• Uncertainty regarding funding the Comprehensive Sustainability Plan initiatives.
• Planning how to address affordable housing and preparing for a plan to ramp up to earmarking 2 cents of
the property tax rate to affordable housing.
Peterson also discussed large capital projects awaiting funding, including:
• Fire station development on North Churton Street.
• Public works equipment replacement and constructing a new building.
• Train station development.
• New accounting software.
• Ridgewalk greenway development.
Peterson then addressed concerns for the Water/Sewer Fund, including:
• Projected deficits each year totaling over 15% in FY26.
• Need for increased rates.
• Pipes and pump station maintenance. Utilities Director Marie Strandwitz indicated this is the most
pressing issue for the Utilities Department.
• Capacity concerns for the Wastewater Treatment Plant and utility systems.
• Increased construction costs and interest rate escalation.
• Various large capital projects, including $30 million in high priority sewer projects over the next four
years that cannot be delayed.
The manager also discussed stormwater, noting no fee increase has occurred in eight years. He said staff are
reviewing fees and deciding whether to propose an increase or change to the fee structure with a focus on
lots that have the largest impervious surface area.
Peterson concluded that the most pressing issue for board consideration is town growth pressures. He
discussed how daily concerns can keep the town from effectively progressing top priorities and planning for

Page 4 of 31
longer-term goals. He noted the amount of new growth required to pay for one additional full-time staff
member and emphasized interns, fellows and contractors as the most cost-effective alternatives for
resolving limited resources.
Peterson concluded by stating that all budget requests cannot be met. Finding alternative methods,
discussing multiple solutions and establishing priorities now will help the town accomplish goals in the long
term. During the retreat, staff will be tasked with listening to board requests and priorities to create a
synthesized plan of action for the proposed budget.
Lloyd asked for clarification on a recent water main break. Environmental Engineering Supervisor Bryant
Green provided clarification and explained that older water lines often break when the soil shrinks and swells
due to changing weather conditions. Ferguson discussed the possibility of adding private dollar options for
large project funding, such as selling naming rights for the Ridgewalk development. The mayor thanked the
manager for clarifying budget priorities.
5. Committee updates and reports
Board members gave updates on the committees and boards on which they serve.
Motion: Ferguson moved to go into closed session at 9:10 p.m. Hughes seconded.
Vote: 5-0.
6. Closed Session
A. Closed session as authorized by North Carolina General Statute Section 143-318.11 (a)(4) regarding economic
development (added item).
Motion: Ferguson moved to return to open session at 9:49 p.m. Commissioner Robb English seconded.
Vote: 5-0.
7. Adjournment
Bell adjourned the meeting at 9:49 p.m.
