SUMMARY:Orange County: Chapel Hill/Orange County Visitors Bureau Advisory Board
DESCRIPTION:Chapel Hill/Orange County Visitors Bureau\n\nThe Chapel Hill/Orange County Visitors Bureau advisory board heard on November 19 that occupancy tax revenue is projected flat and traced the reasons: federal job cuts\, federal travel cuts\, fewer people working in Research Triangle Park\, general economic anxiety\, and the closure of the Siena Hotel for most of next year. The Siena had a higher average daily rate than other hotels in the county.\n\nThe bureau collected about $2.196 million in occupancy tax last year\, $1.529 million of it from thirteen Chapel Hill properties. Carrboro has one collecting property\, Hillsborough five\, five more carry Durham addresses\, and seven are short-term rentals. The county tax office is starting an audit of occupancy tax remittance this year.\n\nAgenda: https://www.orangecountync.gov/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/Agenda/_11192025-2446\nWatch: https://www.orangecountync.gov/953/Board-of-County-Commissioners-BOCC\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/2147

SUMMARY:Orange County: Approved Agenda and Minutes for
DESCRIPTION:Board of Health\n\nOrange County's board of health met on January 21 without a quorum\, so nothing could be voted on.

Chapel Hill wastewater showed nothing\, but staff were reviewing immunization records and had quarantine and isolation templates ready. Two elementary schools in the county\, Emerson Waldorf and Ephesus\, have low MMR coverage.\n\nAgenda: https://www.orangecountync.gov/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/Agenda/_01212026-2575\nWatch: https://www.orangecountync.gov/953/Board-of-County-Commissioners-BOCC\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/2137
