Mayor Lenny Williams, Town of Gibsonville, spoke on the Alamance-Guilford County Line issue. He said that he

was hopeful that the two counties could have reached a similar agreement like with Orange County. Mayor

Williams continued that in May 2014 Guilford County Commissioners reversed their previous decision and decided

to support the NC Geodetic line. He indicated that the Guilford County Commissioners had been provided an

inaccurate tax value of property that would go to Alamance County which was the reasoning behind their reversed

decision.

Ken Borne, citizen, complimented the board on the wonderful job that they have done.

Jane Ferrita, Beaver Hills resident, spoke about county line issue.

Commissioners' Responses

Vice Chair Boswell responded to Mayor Williams comments and informed that the resolution was not on the agenda

but will be discussed later on in the meeting. He spoke that the board needs to decided if they are willing to give

Guilford County the additional property currently being taxed in Alamance County.

Chairman Ingle advised that he had met with Guilford County Chairman Henning and it was discussed that the 2

boards would put the issue on the "back-burner" for now. He said that when Guilford Commissioners met with their

local legislation it was brought up and decided that a bill would be drawn in support of the geodetic line.

Commissioner Byrd said he appreciated Mayor Williams comments along with Ms. Ferrita and that he was at that

meeting when all of those property owners showed up. He also informed Mr. Cox that he made his $200 donation

Presentations/Other Business

1340 : Resolution in Support of Displaying US Motto "In God We Trust" - Rick Lanier, USMAC

Rick Lanier, Co-founder of US Motto Action Committee and former Davidson County Commissioner, invited the

board to join the growing list of counties and municipalities to adopt and display the "In God We Trust" in and on

governmental buildings. Mr. Lanier stated that he had led his board to vote in support in displaying "In God We

Trust" in 2002. He said these words have been used on US currency since 1864. Mr. Lanier mentioned that

displaying the motto "In God We Trust" gives ceremonial honor to public events and expresses confidence in our

society. He also noted that the words were engraved above the entrance to the US Senate Chamber and right above

the Speaker of the House in the US House of Representatives. Mr. Lanier continued that former President Dwight

Eisenhower had adopted the motto as the official National Motto of the United States of America. He stated that

displaying the motto is a legal right that is protected by the first amendment and that the US House of

Representatives voted overwhelmingly to reaffirm "In God We Trust" as the nation's motto. Vice Chair Boswell

thanked Mr. Lanier for coming down from Lexington to present this issue and emphasized that we do need God to

move forward in our nation. Chairman Ingle spoke that this great nation was founded on Christian-Judeo principles

and he read the Preamble to the North Carolina Constitution to further illustrate his point. Commissioner Byrd said

that he had read the appellate court decision and that it is on good legal grounds to have the motto displayed on

county buildings. He also clarified whether Mr. Lanier's organization would be covering the cost to add the motto

to county buildings. Mr. Lanier responded that it was no cost to the county and that it would be paid for by private

donations. Commissioner Byrd asked if the motto would be placed on all county buildings. Mr. Lanier answered

that it could be placed on as many as the board preferred.

RESULT: ADOPTED [UNANIMOUS]

on the night of March 3, 1934. He continued that Deputy Massey's name will be added to the Fallen Officer's

Memorial Wall and that he would like to use state and federal drug forfeiture money to cover the cost of the trip.

throughout the week and a candlelight vigil. Deputy Massey's grandson was present at the meeting and spoke a

few words. Vice Chair Boswell said he appreciated Sheriff Johnson pushing this forward and thanked him and his

Roberts mentioned that they have received excellent service from Martin-Starnes. She informed that due to time

constraints they were not able to bid out this year but could plan to bid it out next year. Ms. Roberts noted there

constitutional obligation to support public schools but has pushed this responsibility down to the counties.

Commissioner Smith asked if the county's Senator was one of the sponsors of this bill. Commissioner Byrd said that

Senator Gunn got an "earful" about this issue during the local Legislative Breakfast. Vice Chair Boswell answered

yes and that the bill was still in process and that the Senate and the House could have two different versions. Vice

Chair Boswell mentioned that the local House delegates seem more sympathetic to not wanting this bill to pass.

Budget Amendments

Budget Amendment - Planning Department

Libby Hodges, Planning Director, presented a budget amendment in the amount of $7414 to reflect the additional

funds that was spent for one of the projects in the Urgent Repair Program. She said that all funds have been

reimbursed by the state the budget amendment just helps the paper work balance. Commissioner Byrd said that the

paperwork was very confusing. He noted that a $75,000 allocation was shown on one page and then half of that

amount was shown on another page as being the amount. Ms. Hodges said that the programs awards half of the

funds up front and then the entity has to show that they can obtain the other half of the funds.

County Manager's Report

County Manager Honeycutt discussed a proposed resolution on the Alamance-Guilford County line. He reviewed

that Guilford County just filed a local bill referencing the NC Geodetic Survey as the official county line. He

continued that the county has proposed this resolution asking them to go back to the local bill using the 150 foot

buffer that was agreed upon in 2013 since there seems to be no negotiations with Guilford County at this point.

County Attorney Albright said that it was up to the board to make a decision to either oppose the local bill, or create

their own bill, or put it in the hands of the legislator to try and achieve what was done in 2013. Commissioner Byrd

said his understanding was both counties had to agree on the bill before it is passed. County Attorney Albright

answered that it was up to the General Assembly. Vice Chair Boswell inquired on how much money had been spent

by the individual property tax owners on having their properties resurveyed. Bruce Walker, GIS Manager answered

that letters that were sent out to affected property owners asked them not to move forward with property surveys

until the process had been approved by both sets of commissioners. Commissioner Byrd asked if there needs to be

research as to the total value of those properties and whether Guilford County had erroneous information that caused

the miscommunication. Commissioner Smith spoke that he was not sure why a lot of time was being wasted on

this. He said this issue has been ongoing for at least 10 years and that Guilford County changes their mind in a

second. Vice Chair Boswell mentioned that he spoke with Representative Riddell and explained the situation. He

said that if the board sends this resolution that he hoped the General Assembly would defer to representatives from

both counties to weigh in on this matter. County Manager Honeycutt said if the resolution passes then staff will re-

submit local bill that was passed in 2012. Commissioner Byrd said that he would like to see the property values to

make sure we have accurate information if the board is planning to argue this matter. Vice Chair Boswell requested

information on the properties that will change or have always been taxed in Alamance County.

County Manager Honeycutt provided a quick update on the Insurance Committee's recommendation to approve

Pierce Group as the new health insurance broker for the county. Chairman Ingle asked if there was a consensus of

the board to allow staff to negotiate a contract with Pierce Group. Commissioner Smith complimented the Insurance

Committee on the good job they did of sending out the request for bids. Vice Chair Boswell asked if the employee

health clinic would remain open. County Manager Honeycutt said that he hopes it will remain open. He reminded

that the next Facilities Task Force meeting is scheduled for May 6th at 9:30am at the Family Justice Center.

Commissioners' Comments

Commissioner Smith said he had heard reports that old jail roof is leaking and was concerned about the legal

liability of the county if it is not repaired. He asked Richard Hill, Facilities Director, to provide more information on

the matter. Mr. Hill reviewed that over the years repairs have been made. He said that he met with Baker Roofing,

and they recommended that the existing roof needed to be removed. Bryan Hagood, Assistant County Manager,

explained that there were funds up to $25,000 from Capital Reserve Fund for the board to approve spending for a

temporary fix. He reiterated that this was not a long term solution and that the best long term solution would be to

replace the roof. Commissioner Smith asked Chief Deputy Britt to comment on how bad the leak was at the jail.

Chief Deputy Britt stated that some offices had 35 gallon trash cans set up to collect the rain when it rained. He also

noted that there had been a leak in one of the jail cells but made the state aware they were working to correct the

problem.

Mr. Hagood asked for approval at this time for up to $25,000. Vice Chair Boswell speculated that the leak was

probably damaging other things when the water penetrated other areas of the structure. He said this leak needed to

be addressed. Commissioner Byrd expressed concerned about spending $25, 000 for a "band-aid fix" for just a few

months. He continued if the county spent $25,000 and then the $230,000 later that would be a total of $255,000

when the county could fix it now for $230,000. Chairman Ingle said go ahead and fix the roof and now and

confirmed with Commissioner Smith if that was he recommendation at the beginning of the discussion.

Commissioner Byrd asked Susan Roberts, Finance Officer to verify the fund balance and whether funds were

available. She said the funds were available and there was $21.5 million in unassigned fund balance.

Commissioner Smith, seconded by Chairman Ingle moved approval of replacing the new roof now with funds

from fund balance.

Chairman Ingle also read a letter from Paula Woodard, President of the NC County Clerks Association,

342 N.C. 708 (1996), the Units may enter into an agreement with the Company in

connection therewith.

H. The Units finds that reimbursing the Company for a portion of its construction and

equipment costs serves a public purpose and will increase the taxable property base for

the County and Cities and help create not less than eighty (80) new jobs in the County by

the Completion Date, all of which will result in an added and valued benefit to the

taxpayers of the County and Cities.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual provisions and covenants herein, and

other good and valuable consideration which the parties hereby acknowledge, The Company,

The County, Mebane and Graham agree as follows:

1. To assist the Company in its transportation and access infrastructure, the Units will

provide Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00), (hereinafter sometimes referred to as

“Local Transportation Grant Funds”), towards roadway construction starting at Governor

Scott Farm Road and ending and connecting to Melville Commerce Parkway (the

“Parkway Extension”), such improvements to be to a standard to accommodate

commercial truck traffic carrying standard commercial loads, including but not limited to

those having three to five axles, to and from the Facility. The Units may use their best

efforts to secure grants to reimburse themselves for a portion of the foregoing. The Units

also agree to use their best efforts to secure Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars

($750,000.00) (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “State Entity Grant Funds”; the Local

Transportation Grant Funds and State Entity Grant Funds being sometimes hereinafter

collectively referred to as the “Transportation Improvement Funds”), from the North

Carolina Department of Transportation for the improvement of Governor Scott Farm

Road (“Farm Road Improvements”; the Parkway Extension and Farm Road

Improvements being hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as the “Transportation

Improvements”).

(a) The Units are hereby responsible for the design and construction (including

administration of all contracts and agreements in connection therewith) for the

Transportation Improvements and assumes all responsibility for the cost of

thereof, including but not limited to the Transportation Improvement Funds, with

no recourse to the Company. The Transportation Improvements shall be

completed within one (1) year of the date of this Agreement ("Transportation

Improvements Deadline"). In the event that the Units determine that they will be

unable to complete the Transportation Improvements by the Transportation

Improvements Deadline, they covenant and agree to immediately provide written

notice of such inability to the Company. Upon receipt of such written notice, or in

the event that the Company determines in its good faith, reasonable discretion that

the Transportation Improvements will not be completed by the Transportation

Improvements Deadline, then the Company may elect, upon written notice to the

Units, to assume control of the construction of the Transportation Improvements

at the Units sole cost and expense. In such event the Units hereby covenant and

agree to fully cooperate with the Company in (i) appropriating funds to pay all

engineers, architects, contractors, subcontractors or material suppliers

construction of the Transportation Improvements, (iv) granting of all rights,

permits, and/or approvals necessary to permit the Company to construct the

reimburse the Company for such amounts within thirty (30) days after receipt of

written invoice therefor from the Company.

(b) The Units hereby covenant and agree to promptly implement the provisions of,

and provide copies to, the Company of the fully-executed agreements between the

Units and the Golden Leaf Foundation and the N.C. Rural Center Fund related to

the construction of the Transportation Improvements.

2. To further assist the Company in its site acquisition, Facility construction, and machinery

and equipment installations, and subject to the requirements hereinafter set forth, each

Unit agrees to reimburse the Company for a portion of said construction and installation

costs in the amount of One Million One Hundred Twenty-five Thousand Dollars

($1,125,000.00), for a total of Three Million Three Hundred Seventy-five Thousand

Dollars ($3,375,000.00) (the "Incentive Funds"). In performance of all activities involved

in the site acquisition and facility construction, as well as in the machinery installation,

the Company shall have full discretion to make all decisions regarding such

improvements and contracting and purchasing without the joinder or approval of the City

except for the requirements set forth in Paragraph 8 below. These payments of cash

grants from Alamance, Graham, and Mebane to the Company shall be made as follows:

(a) A payment of Six Hundred Seventy-five Dollars ($675,000.00) shall be paid by

the Units in equal sums of Two Hundred Twenty-five Dollars ($225,000.00) from

each Unit, to the Company after the Facility has received its certificate of

occupancy, and the Company has certified to the Units that eighty (80) full time

positions have been filled at the Facility, provided, however, that all property tax

liabilities on the above referenced Facility and machinery and equipment (in the

above agreed amount) shall have been paid by the Company for the fiscal year in

which the certificate of occupancy has been issued. In the event that there are any

outstanding property tax liabilities on the above referenced Facility and

machinery and equipment at the time such payment contemplated herein is due,

such payment shall be delayed until the date that is ten (10) days after such

outstanding property tax liabilities have been paid.

(b) Four (4) additional payments of Six Hundred Seventy-five Thousand Dollars

($675,000.00) shall be paid by the Units in equal sums of Two Hundred Twenty-

five Thousand Dollars ($225,000.00) from each Unit, annually to the Company on

the anniversary date of the first payment in (a) above, provided that there are no

outstanding property tax liabilities on the above referenced Facility and

machinery and equipment. In the event that there are any outstanding property tax

liabilities on the above referenced Facility and machinery and equipment at the

time such payment contemplated herein is due, such payment shall be delayed

until the date that is thirty (30) days after such outstanding property tax liabilities

have been paid.

(c) All payments provided for in subparagraphs (a) and (b) shall be made no later

than Thirty (30) calendar days after satisfaction of the requirements described in

the subparagraphs. Any payment due hereunder shall be adjusted so that the total

payments to the Company shall not exceed 2.8333% times the annual taxable

value of the property (excluding land, but expressly including all improvements

located thereon) maintained by the Company for ad valorem tax purposes during

the year period beginning at the issuance of Certificate of Occupancy. All

payments are subject to the requirement that not less than eighty (80) full time

jobs shall be maintained by the Company at the Facility;

(d) In the event of the Company's failure to create eighty (80) jobs and invest

$125,000,000 by the Completion Date, the Units shall grant a reasonable

extension of time to the Company to meet the job and investment criteria in this

Agreement or otherwise agree to such other performance criteria that equate to a

similar economic and fiscal return to the Units.

(e) In the event that the Company fails to make the full investment of

$125,000,000.00 by the Completion Date, as it may be extended, the cash grant

payments will be pro-rated using the $125,000,000.00 as the denominator and the

taxable value as the numerator, which in turn shall be multiplied times that cash

grant for the applicable fiscal year of the Units, however, the denominator may be

modified pursuant to subsection 2(d) above.

(a) Graham agrees to waive all local impact and inspection fees, having an estimated

value of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00).

3. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the parties hereto covenant

and agree that the Transportation Improvement Funds, Transportation Improvements, and

Incentive Funds (collectively, "Incentives") are a material consideration in the Company's

decision to locate the Facility in Graham, North Carolina, that the Company would not

have located its Facility in Graham, North Carolina without the Incentives and that the

Company will be substantially harmed in the event that the Units obligations are not

satisfied as provided herein.

4. During the performance of the Agreement, the Company agrees to allow representatives

of the Units to enter upon its property during normal business hours upon forty-eight

hours prior notice for the purpose of confirming the new construction and the purchase of

new equipment has occurred. To the extent allowed by applicable law, the Units covenant

and agree to protect, and not use or disclose, any of the Company’s confidential and

proprietary information.

5. If prior to the Units expending monies, for any reason whatsoever the Company chooses

not to make the above referenced investments and to cancel this Agreement, it may do so

by providing written notice. Upon such notification, this Agreement shall be cancelled

and all of its terms and conditions shall become void. If, however, the Company chooses

not to make the above referenced investment and any one of the Units has expended

funds, the Company shall be liable for a return or pay-back of the government funds

expended as hereinafter stated.

6. The Company agrees, upon request of the Units, to make full and accurate accounting to

the Units of all expenditures and construction and acquisition of equipment referenced

above as required by this Agreement upon completion of total investment and the

granting of the Certificate of Occupancy. The Company shall make such accounting as is

necessary to verify construction and purchase of equipment and after such construction

and purchase of equipment has been verified, the Company shall have no further

obligations to account to the City for any other expenses incurred.

7. The Company shall not discriminate against any person on the grounds of race, color,

national origin, sex, age, or disability in the administration of this Agreement nor shall

any person be excluded from participation in, or be denied the benefits of, any project

constructed under this Agreement on the grounds of race, color, national origin, sex, age,

or disability.

8. The Units respectively bind themselves, their successors, assigns, and legal

representatives to other parties hereto and those parties’ successors, assigns, and legal

representatives, in respect to covenants, agreements, and obligations contained herein. No

party to this Agreement shall assign the Agreement or any of the obligations or rights

described herein without written consent of the other. If either party attempts to make

such an assignment without such consent, that party shall nevertheless remain legally

responsible for all obligations under the Agreement. The Company may assign this

Agreement to a subsidiary, parent or affiliated company, with the written consent of the

Units which shall not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld.

9. This Agreement may be modified only by a written agreement executed which must be

approved by the Units by all parties hereto. The contractual commitments provided for

herein and made by the parties hereto shall be deemed to continue into the future, survive

and remain binding upon future elected and appointed officials to the full extent

permitted under applicable law. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts

separately with the resultant executed counterparts forming a single Agreement.

10. In the event of such cancellation of the Agreement described above, the Units shall have

no further obligations to make any further payments as called for in this Agreement.

11. The parties and each person executing this Agreement on behalf thereof represent and

warrant that they have the full right and authority to enter into this Agreement, which is

binding, and to sign on behalf of the party indicated, and are acting on behalf of

themselves, the constituent members and the successors and assigns of each of them. The

parties agree to reasonably assist one another and cooperate in the defense (should any

defense ever be necessary) of this Agreement and/or the incentives granted hereunder, so

as to support and in no way undercut the same. In the event that any of the incentives or

other assignments of the Units are determined to be invalid, the Units agree that they will,

to the fullest extent permitted by law, provide the Company with any permitted incentives

of substantial equal value pursuant to one more or more replacement incentive grant

programs.

12. No provision of this Agreement may be invalidated, except by the Superior Court of

Alamance County which shall have sole jurisdiction over any disputes which arise under

this Agreement or otherwise regarding the parties hereto, and further, venue shall be

proper and shall lie exclusively in the Superior Court of Alamance County, North

Carolina.

If any such court holds any provision of this Agreement, invalid or unenforceable, then:

(a) Such holdings shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any other provision of

this Agreement

(b) Such provision shall be construed as closely as possible to the Party’s Original

intent in order to render such provision valid or enforceable, as applicable; and

(c) The remaining terms hereof; together with such reconstructive provision, shall

constitute the parties’ entire agreement hereof.

13. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between Units and the Company and

supersedes any and all other agreements on this subject between parties.

14. In the event that, prior to completion of the Facility, the Units expend funds for any of the

incentives provided for in this Agreement, whether for road infrastructure or cash grants,

and the Company elects to cancel the Agreement or does not comply with its obligations

to construct the Facility, the Company agrees to fully reimburse the Units for any

amounts expended by them through the date of such cancellation. The Company shall

reimburse the Units within thirty (30) days of written demand. In the event that Company

fails to re-pay such amounts, the Units may recover the funds advanced under this

Agreement plus all the costs of collection, including without limitation reasonable

attorney fees.

15. Company acknowledges that the Units are governmental entities, and validity of this

Agreement is based upon the availability of public funding under the authority of its

statutory mandate. Subject to the provisions of Section 10, in the event that public funds

are unavailable for the performance of the Units’ obligations under this Agreement, then

this Agreement shall remain in full effect, provided, however, that the payment

obligations of the Units shall be temporarily suspended, without penalty to the Units,

immediately upon written notice to Company of the unavailability of public funds. At

such time as such public funds are again available, the payment obligations of the Units

hereunder shall be deemed reinstated without necessity of further written agreement. It is

expressly agreed that the Units shall not activate this "unavailability" provision for its

convenience or to circumvent the requirements of this Agreement, but only as an

emergency fiscal measure during a substantial financial crisis. In either event, the public

parties agree that they will use best efforts to replace, through other sources available to

them under law, funds due to the Company, as soon as practical. In the event of a change

in the Units’ statutory authority, mandate and/or mandated functions by State and/or

Federal legislative or regulatory action, which adversely affects the Units’ authority to

continue its obligations under this Agreement, then this Agreement shall be suspended

without penalty to the Units upon written notice to Company of such limitations or

change in the City’s legal authority.

16. Company agrees that upon written request of the Units that company will grant to the

requesting Unit(s), free of charge, easements that are, in the Company’s sole discretion,

reasonable and necessary for water and/or sewer utilities and for transportation services

(including without limitation temporary construction and/or drainage easements) that

serve the Facility and its property. The easements shall be in mutually agreeable form

and substance consistent with the Units’ standard form agreements. Any such easements

shall be located in areas of Company’s property which will not unreasonably interfere

with Company’s intended use of Company’s Facility. The Company commits that it will

favorably consider, on a case by case basis, any requests from such units for similar

easements to serve adjoining properties provided that such requested easements will not

have a detrimental impact upon the Company’s property or Facility operations.

17. Any notices required by this Agreement shall be mailed to the following persons:

STATEOFTHECOUNTYHEALTHREPORTPRIORITY AREA PROGRESS

AccesstoHealthcare

Changes in Data/Trends:

The Alamance County community overwhelmingly believed that access to healthcare was a paramount health issue in 2011.

According to the 2011 Community Assessment, more than 75% of those polled believed that access to health care was very

important to the overall health of people. According to the most recent Census data, 16.6% of those living in Alamance

County are without insurance compared to 16.2% at the state level. At the time of the 2011 Community Assessment, rough-

ly 18% of Alamance County residents were uninsured. The number of physicians in the community has increased slightly

from 262 physicians in 2011 to 277 in 2012 according to the UNC Sheps Center NC Health Professions Data System (18.1

physicians per 10,000 compared to 22.3 physicians per 10,000 for the state). Alamance County’s activity efforts in this prior-

ity area have been focused on increasing access to public transportation, primarily.

Progress Made:

Transportation is clearly still an important issue to Alamance County residents as those polled consid-

ered the issue a top concern for the county, ranking it fourth in issues of importance (Elon Poll, 2014).

After discussing the transit system since the mid-2000s, the Burlington City Council unanimously voted

in June 2014 to develop a public bus transit system. The city plans to secure six buses which will travel

throughout the city and possibly extend to the towns of Elon, Gibsonville, Mebane and Graham. In

December 2014, the Burlington City Council tabled the decision to fund the transit system through $5

vehicle tax until March 2015.

Activity around the Affordable Care Act has recently become more prominent as the

2014-2015 enrollment period deadline nears. The first enrollment period of the Af-

fordable Care Act proved successful for Alamance County. At the time of the first

enrollment period, it was estimated that approximately 25,000 non-elderly individuals

were uninsured in Alamance County (NC Institute of Medicine, 2013). Of that

25,000, roughly 10,000 were believed to be eligible for Medicaid or the federal mar-

ketplace. Through a community effort of awareness, outreach and education, and

in partnership with local Legal Aid federal navigators and certified assistance coun-

selors located at area Federally Qualified Health Centers, approximately 5,000 indi-

viduals enrolled in either Medicaid or the marketplace during the first enrollment pe-

riod (Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, 2014). This indicates that approxi-

mately 50% of those eligible successfully enrolled. As of January 16, 2015 over

6,000 individuals had already enrolled or re-enrolled in the federal marketplace

(Enroll America, 2015).

Burlington City Council Public Comment

In 2011, Alamance County conducted a community-wide assessment looking at the health and social status of residents in the

community. The assessment identified the top health concerns as indicated by the community. The priorities identified in the 2011 Com-

munity Assessment were Obesity, Access to Care, Substance Abuse, and Mental Health. The following sections update the progress

made in those four priority areas in the last year.

SubstanceAbuse


Much of the substance abuse prevention and intervention work as been centered on youth in Alamance County. Tobacco

use among minors continues to be a concerning health issue for Alamance County. At the time of the 2011 Community

Assessment, approximately 3.5% of 6th graders surveyed stated that had used tobacco products in the past 30 days (PRIDE

survey, 2009). Additionally, 28.8% of 12th graders stated that they had used tobacco in the previous days (PRIDE survey,

2009). According to the most recent PRIDE survey conducted in 2013, the percentage of 6th graders who stated they

used tobacco in the last 30 days dropped to 0.7% and 12th graders stating use of tobacco in the last 30 days dropped to

24.9% (PRIDE survey, 2013). In the past the NC Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey (BRFSS) was used to track the

smoking rates of adults in Alamance County. The last available county level data from BRFSS was 2011 and county level

data is no longer available for more recent years. The Alamance County Health Department is currently tracking smoking

rates through the County Heath Rankings. The smoking indicator in the County Health Rankings is defined as percent of

adults that report smoking greater than or equal to 100 cigarettes and are current smokers. The current smoking rate among

Alamance County adults is 24% (County Health Rankings, Alamance Snapshot, 2014). This has essentially stayed the

same compared to 23% of adults in 2011 (County Health Rankings, Alamance Snapshot, 2011).

While tobacco use among school-aged individuals appears to be

decreasing over time, the use of alcohol among the same population

has increased over that same time (see graph). Additionally, current

PRIDE data suggest there is a significant increase in 30 day use of

alcohol from middle school to high school. From 7th grade to 9th

grade, a two-year difference, there is roughly a two-fold increase in

the use of alcohol among student survey participants. In 2013,

roughly 40% of 12th graders surveyed indicated that they used alco-

hol in the last 30 days.

Progress Made:

Since the tragic death of an area high school student to accidental prescription drug mis-

use in 2011, a renewed passion and awareness for reducing the risk of prescription medi-

cine misuse has emerged. After several years of work and through a partnership of Cone

Health, Alamance Regional Medical Center, Safe Kids Alamance County, Alamance Citi-

zens for a Drug Free Community and Healthy Alamance, two permanent Medicine Drop

Boxes were installed at local police departments in August 2014. Since their installations,

the Mebane site alone has collected more than 797 pounds of expired and unused

medicine.

Health Department staff, as well as Healthy Alamance and Region V Community Transformation Grant staff, worked

throughout 2014 to change smoking policies at local multi-unit housing complexes. Approximately, 40 multi-unit housing

complexes were surveyed regarding tobacco-free policies. Six of those surveyed were smoke-free and two expressed inter-

est in implementing tobacco-free policies. Beginning October 1, 2014, those two Burlington multi-unit housing complexes will

implement 100% tobacco-free policies. In addition, the local minor league baseball park, home of the Burlington Royals,

went 100% tobacco-free for the 2014 season. This policy change will no longer allow tobacco products to be used in the

ballpark. Community Transformation Grant funds were used to assist in the purchasing of signs and tip cards for patrons.

MentalHealth


According to the 2011 Community Health Assessment, about 21% of those polled stated they did not know where they would

recommend a friend to go for mental health help. In contrast, according to a 2014 Elon Community Poll, about 10% of

respondents stated that they or someone they knew could not or did not know where to get mental health services.

According to a 2014 community poll conducted by Elon University, approximately 51% of those polled indicated that a family

member or close friend was dealing with a mental health problem (Note: similar indicator was not included in 2011 assess-

ment).

Progress Made:

Cardinal Innovations, the mental health provider in Alamance

County, hosted more than 10 Mental Health First Aid trainings to

providers in 2014. Mental Health First Aid is a full day course that

teaches community members and service providers how to help

someone they may find experiencing a mental health problem. On

May 28, DHHS Deputy Secretary Dave Richard visited Burlington

and met with trainees. At that meeting, he stated that the training

was key in helping the average person understand how to respond

to those in mental health crisis. Over 50 community members and

service providers were trained in Mental Health First Aid in 2014.

In addition to committing to mental health resources for adults, Alamance County has dedi-

cated resources to helping children and families get healthy starts from the beginning. Pro-

ject LAUNCH is the prevention arm of the early childhood behavioral health activities in

Alamance County. In 2014, Project LAUNCH trained 40 service providers in Triple P

(Positive Parenting Program). Also, the project continues to support two early childhood

mental health teams in two private pediatrician offices in the community. Through that pub-

lic-private effort, the project has reached 1148 children and families. In August 2014, Pro-

ject LAUNCH supported the development of an early childhood mental health team in the

Alamance County Health Department. Children 0-8 years and their families receiving care

or services at the health department now have access to Positive Parenting Program

(Triple P) and behavioral health services provided through a co-located family centered

navigator and licensed clinical social worker team. The early childhood mental health team

at the health department reached 208 families with Triple P in 2014.

Alamance Alliance for Children and Families is the intervention arm of the early childhood mental health activity in the com-

munity. Some achievements of the Alliance in the last year have included providing 11 trainings on early brain development

and early childhood trauma to more than 220 attendees, training 17 supervisors from 10 child-serving agencies on imple-

menting early childhood mental health core competencies with their staff, and training 10 licensed clinicians on how to com-

plete trauma informed assessments. Outcome data collected by the grant shows that by 18 months of service children

showed improved initiative and self-control, and attention and aggression problems decreased significantly by 20 percentage

points. Twenty-four month data collected from caregivers indicates less overall distress and less difficult interactions with

their children.

Obesity Changes in Data/Trends: At the time of the 2011 Community Assessment, 18.5% of Alamance County children and

adolescents were obese according to the North Carolina Nutrition and Physical Activity Surveillance System (NC-NPASS,

2009). Unfortunately, 2009 was the last year county level data was available for all child age groups on NC NPASS. Obesity

rates of 2-4 year olds from 2009 and 2012 are still available through the data set. In 2009, 17.8% of young children ages 2-4

years were identified as obese in Alamance County. According to the 2012 NC NPASS, the most current obesity rate for 2-4

years old is 17.5%, indicating no significant change. Adult obesity rates for Alamance County are no longer available through

the NC Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey; however, data is available from the County Health ranking site.

According to the 2014 County Health Rankings, 34% of Alamance County’s adult population is obese. This has slightly

increased compared to the 2011 rankings in which 31% of adults in the county were obese.

Progress made: With assistance from Community Transformation Grant funding, the cities of Burlington and Graham have

begun work on their Comprehensive Land Use plans and are including a section about health. The Alamance County Trail

Plan is also being completed with the same funding assistance. The Alamance County Trail Plan is a long-range plan that

strives to work with municipalities, citizens, business owners, and landowners to identify and prioritize opportunities to create

recreational trails throughout Alamance County. While some parts of Alamance County have ready access to recreation, ad-

ditional passive recreation options such as trails and greenways can provide numerous benefits while not over-burdening ex-

isting staff resources. The Alamance County Board of Commissioners is set to vote on the plan in January 2015. Also, in

2014, Community Transformation grant funding assisted in the enhancement of local farmers’ markets and provided promo-

tion with billboards and recipes cards for the 2014 season. In total, six farmers’ markets were impacted through the efforts

including markets in Mebane, Downtown Burlington, Haw River, North Park, Elon, and Saxapahaw.

In the last year, the Alamance County Health Department received funding through the United Way of Alamance County to

revamp the Physical Activity and Recreation Challenge (PARC) Passport program to include social media platforms as a

means to market and encourage visits to local parks. The PARC Passport program is designed to draw interest to four parks

in the county through a scavenger hunt-like activity. This year’s enhancements allowed participants to “check-in” via Four-

square and also share their adventure through Facebook. More than 150 individuals participated in the 2014 PARC Passport

challenge.

The Alamance County WIC program teamed up with the local newspaper, Burlington Times-

News, to feature healthy eating and active living guest commentaries throughout 2014.

These articles featured easy recipes to add flavor but not additional calories to the readers’

diets. Articles also encouraged healthy living through physical activity and movement in the

community.

The health department assisted Hawfields Childcare Development Center in the implementa-

tion of a preschool garden maintained by three and four year-olds attending the center. More

than 50 unduplicated children participated in the pilot program that included hands-on plant-

ing, tending, harvesting and sampling of produce. In addition, children participated in farm-to-

table activities, plant science education, healthy eating and active living activities. Prior to the

program, the facility served 5.3 fresh veggies and fruits per month and during the course of

the garden program the facility served 5.8 fresh veggies and fruits per month (indicating a

9.4% increase in fresh produce served). Flowering squash at Hawfields CDC

Communicable Disease and Preparedness Planning

Public health is an ever-changing landscape. More than 100 years ago,

the greatest causes of sickness and death among Americans were

infectious diseases. As vaccines and better infection controls were

introduced throughout the 20th century, chronic diseases moved to the

forefront of causes of morbidity and mortality. That being said, infectious

diseases and the preparedness procedures and prevention measures to

inhibit their spread do still make up a great deal of the work performed by

public health.

In 2014 alone, local public health workers added four new words to their

vocabulary: Chikungunya, MERS, EV-D68 and Ebola. Each of these new

emerging infections created an opportunity to expand the knowledge base

of local public health workers and those with whom they work through

continuing education, local meetings, statewide partner calls, table top

exercises, full scale exercises, webinars, and practice.

Over the last decade, public health preparedness has become

increasingly more important and prominent in local public health

departments. The role of preparedness programs is to plan and

coordinate responses to public health threats in a community. Local public

health activities include disease surveillance, public education, response

planning, and disease prevention. In Alamance County, preparedness

work includes the health department, Alamance County Emergency

Medical Services, Alamance County Emergency Management, Alamance

County Central Communications, county and municipality law

enforcement, Alamance Regional Medical Center, Cone Health System,

Alamance-Burlington School System,

and county management.

In 2014, local public health providers

and partners dedicated more than 2000

hours to public health preparedness and

response planning including weekly

partner calls and a full scale Ebola

preparedness exercise with EMS and

Cone Health System.

STATEOFTHECOUNTYHEALTHREPORTEMERGING ISSUE

Alamance County EMS participating in a preparedness exercise – November 2014

Chikungunya is a viral disease that is

transmitted to people by mosquitoes. In

late 2013, chikungunya was found for the

first time in the U.S. on islands in the

Caribbean. The most common symptoms

of chikungunya are fever and joint pain.

North Carolina reported the first travel

acquired case of the illness in June 2014.

Middle East Respiratory Syndrome

(MERS) is viral respiratory illness first

reported in Saudi Arabia in 2012. On May

2, 2014, the first U.S. imported case of

MERS was confirmed in a traveler from

Saudi Arabia to the U.S. Most people

who have been confirmed to have MERS-

CoV infection developed severe acute

respiratory illness.

Enterovirus D68 can cause mild to severe

respiratory illness. It likely spreads from

person to person when an infected per-

son coughs, sneezes, or touches a sur-

face that is then touched by others. The

most likely time of year to get infected is

in the summer and fall. Cases of EV-D68

were first confirmed in September 2014 in

North Carolina.

Ebola is a rare and deadly disease

spread primarily through direct contact

with body fluids of an infected person. In

September 2014, the CDC confirmed the

first travel-associated case of Ebola in the

US. The 2014 Ebola epidemic is the larg-

est in history. As of January 2015, more

than 21,000 individuals have been infect-

ed and more than 8400 have died world-

wide.

STATEOFTHECOUNTYHEALTHREPORTNEW INITIATIVES

Alamance Baby Closet The Healthy Mothers Healthy Babies Coalition of Alamance County is creating a brand

new Baby Closet! The Alamance Baby Closet (ABC) is located at the Alamance

County Health Department and is designed to promote active participation in prenatal

care among pregnant women, as well as engaging in healthy behaviors during preg-

nancy through education. Clients can earn points to spend in the Baby Closet by

keeping their prenatal appointments, participating in Centering, bringing their baby in

for well-baby check-ups after delivery, breastfeeding, and coming in for their post-

partum visits. This program is completely free to clients and made possible by the

generous donations of our community partners!

Safe Kids Alamance County Safe Kids Alamance County is a coalition of public and private agencies committed to

the reduction and elimination of preventable childhood injuries in children 0-19 years of

age. Beginning in 2014, the Alamance County Health Department now serves as the

lead agency for the Safe Kids Alamance County Coalition. Around the world, a child

dies from an unintentional injury every 30 seconds, and millions of children are injured

in ways that can affect them for a lifetime. Safe Kids Alamance County is dedicated to

preventing injuries in children, the number one killer of kids in the United States.

Every year in North Carolina, approximately 200 children die from accidental injuries

and another 45,000 visit a doctor's office for treatment of such injuries (Safe Kids

Worldwide, 2015). These injuries can be prevented.

Early Childhood Literacy Environments In 2014, the Alamance County Health Department implemented Literacy-Rich Waiting

Rooms for children and families served. The implementation was based on the Reach

Out and Read national model. The first five years of a child’s life are critical in the

growth and development of emotion and cognition. Children that experience little or

insufficient exposure to language and reading are more likely to arrive at kindergarten

without basic literacy skills and those arriving to kindergarten not ready are more likely

to perform poorly in school. The long reaching effects of poor school performance can

have a lasting impact on social, emotional, financial and physical health for individuals

and families.

The literacy rich waiting rooms provide children and families an opportunity to explore

books and materials that promote parent-child relationships, support early literacy, and

support healthy brain development. Children and families are provided age appropri-

ate books at well-child visits and are also encouraged to take books home that they

enjoy. In 2014, more than 552 books were distributed to children through the health

department’s program.
