AGENDA ABSTRACT
Meeting Date: January 2, 2024
Agenda Title: Public Hearing on Whether the Board of Commissioners Should Adopt a
Resolution to Change the Organization and Governance of Some of the County’s Human
Services Functions
Summary of Information: At the November 6, 2023 Board of Commissioners meeting, the board
indicated an interest in forming a consolidated human services agency (CHSA) with governance by
the Board of Commissioners (BOC) to include the Department of Social Services (DSS) and Person
Area Transportation System (PATS). Previously, Veterans Services was considered the likely choice
for consolidation, as the services within this function are provided by one half-time employee who
could receive additional support within a larger department. The board may revisit this option for
consolidation, if desired, after receiving comments via the public hearing.
Details for various options are included in the attachment. If the Board of Commissioners decides to
assume the powers and duties of another board – which could be a county board of social services or
a consolidated human services (CHS) board, it must adopt a resolution. The board may also consider
other options authorized by law, including maintaining the current model (Option A – separate
agencies with appointed governing boards) or creating a CHSA with an appointed CHS Governing
Board (Option C). Each option requires different steps to implement, as outlined below.
Option B – Board of Commissioners Governance (serves as Board of Social Services)
If the Board of Commissioners decides to assume the powers and duties of the Board of
Social Services, it must adopt a resolution formally assuming the powers and duties of the
board. The existing Board of Social Services would then be dissolved and abolished. The
BOC would acquire all of the Board of Social Services’ responsibilities, including the
responsibilities related to social services policy and administration. All social services
employees would continue to be covered under the State Human Resources Act (SHRA).
Option D – Consolidated Human Services Agency (CHSA) with Board of
Commissioners Governance
If the Board of Commissioners decides to create a CHSA and assume the powers and duties
of the CHS Board, it must adopt a resolution formally assuming the powers and duties of the
board. The language of the resolution must establish whether employees will be subject to
the SHRA or subject to county personnel policies, as well as which departments or functions
are being consolidated into the CHSA. The BOC has the option of appointing a separate
advisory committee for social services or other issues, but that is not required by law.
Order of Actions
When establishing a new CHSA, the county manager will have the authority to appoint the
agency director, but may do so only with the advice and consent of the governing board.
Because of the advice and consent requirement, there is a sequence that should be
followed when establishing the CHSA.
3
1.Establish the CHSA.
2.BOC assumes the powers and duties of the agency governing board.
3.The county manager identifies a candidate for CHS director and seeks the advice and
consent of the agency governing board.
4.If the agency governing board consents to the appointment, the county manager
appoints the CHS director.
Option C – Consolidated Human Services Agency (CHSA) with Appointed CHS
Governing Board
If the Board of Commissioners decides to create a CHSA with an appointed CHS Board, it
should adopt a resolution to form the CHSA. The language of the resolution should establish
whether employees will be subject to the SHRA or subject to county personnel policies, as
well as which departments or functions are being consolidated into the CHSA.
Order of Actions
When establishing a new CHSA, the county manager will have the authority to appoint the
agency director, but may do so only with the advice and consent of the governing board.
Because of the advice and consent requirement, there is a sequence that should be
followed when establishing the CHSA.
1.Establish the CHSA.
2.Appoint a CHS board. The CHS board must be composed of no more than 25
members. All members of the CHS board must be residents of the county. The
composition of the CHS board must “reasonably reflect the population makeup of
the county” and must include:
Four persons who are consumers of human services.
Eight persons who are professionals, each with qualifications in one of
these categories: one psychologist, one pharmacist, one engineer, one
dentist, one optometrist, one veterinarian, one social worker, and one
registered nurse.
Two physicians licensed to practice medicine in North Carolina, one of
whom must be a psychiatrist.
One member of the BOC.
Other persons, including “members of the general public representing
various occupations.”
3.The county manager identifies a candidate for CHS director and seeks the advice
and consent of the agency governing board.
4.If the agency governing board consents to the appointment, the county manager
appoints the CHS director.
Recommended Action: Discuss options for organization and governance of Person County’s human
services agencies and determine next steps.

AGENDA ABSTRACT
Meeting Date: January 2, 2024
Agenda Title: Person Area Transportation System (PATS) Drug and Alcohol Testing Policy
Summary of Information: Updates to the existing policy reflect changes requested by the
Federal Transit Administration (FTA). The new template is pre-approved by the FTA and
recommended by the NCDOT. Updates to the policy that the Board of Commissioners adopted on
April 18, 2022 are outlined below.
Add “Covered employees shall abide by the terms of this policy statement as a condition of
employment.” to policy
Delete references to urine and breath alcohol testing and replace with “specimens for drug
and alcohol testing”.
Added or changed the following definitions in the policy:
o Alternate specimen: An authorized specimen, other than the type of specimen
previously collected or attempted to be collected.
o Collection Site: A place selected by the employer where employees present
themselves for the purpose of providing a specimen for a drug test.
o Cutoff: The analytical value (e.g., drug or drug metabolite concentration) used as the
decision point to determine a result (e.g., negative, positive, adulterated, invalid, or
substituted) or the need for further testing.
o Employee: Any person who is designated in a DOT agency regulation as subject to
drug testing and/or alcohol testing. The term includes individuals currently
performing safety-sensitive functions designated in DOT agency regulations and
applicants for employment subject to pre-employment testing. For purposes of drug
testing under 49 CFR Part 40, the term employee has the same meaning as the term
“donor” as found on CCF and related guidance materials produced by the
Department of Health and Human Services.
o Limit of Detection (LOD): The lowest concentration at which the analyte (e.g., drug
or drug metabolite) can be identified.
o Oral Fluid Specimen: A specimen that is collected from an employee’s oral cavity
and is a combination of physiological fluids produced primarily by the salivary
glands. An oral fluid specimen is considered to be a direct observation collection for
all purposes of 49 CFR Part 40, as amended.
o Primary specimen: In drug testing, the specimen bottle that is opened and tested by a
first laboratory to determine whether the employee has a drug or drug metabolite in
20
his or her system; and for the purpose of specimen validity testing. The primary
specimen is the portion of the donor’s subdivided specimen designated as the
primary (‘‘A’’) specimen by the collector to distinguish it from the split (‘‘B’’)
specimen, as defined in 49 CFR Part 40, as amended.
o Specimen: Fluid, breath, or other material collected from an employee at the
collection site for the purpose of a drug or alcohol test.
o Undiluted (neat) oral fluid: An oral fluid specimen to which no other solid or liquid
has been added. For example: A collection device that uses a diluent (or other
component, process, or method that modifies the volume of the testable specimen)
must collect at least 1 mL of undiluted (neat) oral fluid.
Remove requirement for the split specimen to be stored at the initial laboratory for one year.
Recommended Action: Review and adopt the updated policy.
