Staff discovered that the skate-park equipment requires a fence on three sides because of the height of a bolt; the manager said the town would reuse an existing dog-park fence as a temporary measure while permanent improvements are funded and scheduled. The manager said a staff member (Tony) has funding available to pursue required changes and that crews will work to get the park open as quickly as possible.

The manager also noted the town would be attending an upcoming Main Street Conference and asked residents to contact staff if they have urgent business while staff are at the event.

No formal vote or funding appropriation was taken at the March 10 meeting; the manager characterized the skate-park status as a short-term construction and safety issue to be resolved before opening.","Town manager said the skate park is not ready for public use because of fence-height/bolt issues; a temporary fence will be installed and a permanent fix pursued, with an expected timeline of about a month.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6643691,"Pittsboro police report training gains, cadet program success and camera system aiding investigations",714,556000,1270000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2531891-ac72b4139188fd536f71428bc0455c95&start=556&end=1270","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2531891-ac72b4139188fd536f71428bc0455c95/thumbnail_556000.jpg","/articles/6643691/North-Carolina/Pittsboro-police-report-training-gains-cadet-program-success-and-camera-system-aiding-investigations","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6643691-7b0b4fbb191fee3752ad4dfe547918da/orig.mp4?Expires=1771136544&Signature=VMGdwEFWtFpSEny6MFlyP0SAlcem8dxj2oVPnKrl-sNfz25Nxl2ZHRkD9T0TJki0095hQnLWanRah4SMpkAOW6rTa2Nui4bzIroMg6gVWREnwy8oUUcRYhqq~Mf7czb~HtVbzreZS~MqiFi6i7Phu8XaQdvjFymFgnvzsCAVVtTdey-4R21IOQvha8iL8YTBJUJlJulaPGSbXDAubX8otT95Q1RKcXmQrZAIXtj8z0SdK9nn0HJFjENdLH13ANMq~sYEJT-x0~~zIbPLRpG--iPIsdm6ajWh4jCp96to-pKNbdLPLAtJgoRjrWX9nN5tjSeILMhdBKZsyeQgYaqHJQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Town of Pittsboro's police chief told the Board of Commissioners on March 10 that the department increased training hours, completed a local cadet program that produced four commissioned officers and has begun using a Flock camera system that aided several investigations.

The chief said the department recorded 1,231 training hours (reported for the most recent year) and has expanded its patrol staffing after hiring a second investigator in October 2024. The department currently operates two patrol officers on most shifts and expects to fill two vacancies within about a month; the chief said he plans to request funding for two additional patrol officers to reach stronger daytime and nighttime coverage.

The department's local cadet program graduated four officers who began solo patrol in July 2024, the chief said. The department reorganized evidence-room responsibilities and assigned its new administrative assistant, identified in the meeting as Miss Burley, as evidence custodian to improve chain-of-custody and record keeping.

The town's Flock camera network went live in January 2024, the chief said, and stores data for 30 days. The chief described several results tied to camera footage: identification of five stolen vehicles and a license plate, assistance to another agency on a missing-person case, and locating a missing person from Maple Heights, Ohio, who was found after being captured on camera while traveling through Pittsboro. The chief said the system also helped link a stolen vehicle to a reported theft in Carrboro.

Calls for service in 2024 totaled 9,416, according to the chief's summary; top call types included hang-ups, burglary/alarms and suspicious conditions. The department reported that 38% of calls were self-initiated by officers.

The chief emphasized the department's community-policing activities, its interagency cooperation during Hurricane Helene relief efforts and plans to continue investments in training and staffing.

The chief spoke at length; commissioners asked clarifying questions but did not take formal action on police staffing or budgeting at the March 10 meeting.","At the March 10 meeting the town's police chief summarized 2023-24 staffing, training and technology, highlighting a cadet-to-officer program, a new evidence custodian and use of Flock camera footage in multiple investigations.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6643696,"Pittsboro commissioners approve updated Chatham Park affordable-housing element despite one dissent",0,1598000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2531891-ac72b4139188fd536f71428bc0455c95&start=1598&end=1598","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2531891-ac72b4139188fd536f71428bc0455c95/thumbnail_1598000.jpg","/articles/6643696/North-Carolina/Pittsboro-commissioners-approve-updated-Chatham-Park-affordable-housing-element-despite-one-dissent","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6643696-e9013c890e913fe71face2a4e983a2db/orig.mp4?Expires=1771136544&Signature=FJAGeep01Xz9Zb1jhQ9LUhV2bdtia9AijFVn6~hzRbY7jx0vOXY3YmYbTagD3PqzkMKvdVDyHwGUBP22fJBYMiUicb0puJKF2I~mWgcOCzUzRH56~IATPh58jgjF1f7XZvGEzsJVx3GxMFUFLQEQcWGM9pVsDnXFMx7~ynOuGFbw~XA7w-myabSxxevZtSRwu92YiXI8cbAOPWsOBPTu6j~LnIVD465pikpSk2c7L~SU6~jDHBM9eWDvNNkI4Px0T32x0PWCNHJjeYRXXz4ZvfvDnNqZ~yWTWUXcHJPMFF4pBwa3UHJ5ZnRmQW~a9SaVFxXlIn8ly5ug13qJKw7jJA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Town of Pittsboro Board of Commissioners voted March 10 to adopt an updated “affordable housing additional element” for the Chatham Park development, approving the change after a brief debate and at least one dissenting vote.

The adopted text modifies the municipality's approach to density bonuses tied to affordable units in Chatham Park. The motion to approve the updated element was moved by Commissioner Vosse and seconded by Commissioner Farrell; the board approved the motion by voice vote and the proposal passed.

Commissioner Michael Foley said he could not support the policy and urged colleagues to consider long-term impacts. \"I simply can't vote to support this policy,\" Foley said during the meeting. He told colleagues he was \"convinced that, if market conditions allow that, we will have a 35,000 residential unit Chatham Park,\" and said the potential decadal impacts concerned him most.

Supporters of the update, including staff and other commissioners, described the revised text as clearer than the 2021 version and as an improvement in drafting. Commissioners who spoke in favor noted the town faces an affordable-housing shortage and said the element is intended to provide a clearer path to additional affordable units when paired with conditional rezonings and other tools.

The board did not record individual vote tallies in the minutes beyond the oral roll call; Commissioner Foley registered opposition on the record and the motion passed. The board did not specify an implementation schedule during the meeting; the element will be added to the town's planning documents as approved.

The vote concluded the meeting's substantive business; commissioners adjourned shortly after.

Notes: The discussion and vote occurred during the action-item portion of the March 10 meeting of the Town of Pittsboro Board of Commissioners. No subsequent referral or required external approvals were announced on the record.","The Town of Pittsboro Board of Commissioners voted March 10 to approve an updated affordable-housing element for Chatham Park.
