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. Jan. 22, 2024 Board of Commissioners Work Session Approved: ____________________ Feb. 12, 2024 Page 2 of 31 • 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. Jan. 22, 2024 Board of Commissioners Work Session Approved: ____________________ Feb. 12, 2024 Page 3 of 31 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 Jan. 22, 2024 Board of Commissioners Work Session Approved: ____________________ Feb. 12, 2024 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.
