It was recommended that the locally appointed intergovernmental "13-point" watershed committee be continued and that it address a wider variety of questions. Commissioner Carey indicated his desire to have Chair Marshall serve on this committee in his place stating it was important that the Chair serve and be informed. Chair Marshall expressed concern over the "turfism" issue and the different perceptions the officers of the jurisdictions involved and others have of this issue. She referred to the joint planning process and the importance of planning areas for ann®xation into municipalities. She introduced for discussion three recommendations as listed on the agenda abstract. •Motion was made by Commissioner Willhoit, seconded by Comn-iasioner Carey to authorize the Chair, as a member, g~ ~ ficio , of the Public- Private Partnership Steering Committee, to work towards the goals adopted • by the conference. VOTE: UNANIMOUS. ~~ Commissioner Willhoit objected to the second recommendation stating that th® entire Board should choose the representative of any _, ,_ 6 local intergovernmental working group instead of the Chair, on election, automatically becoming an ex officio member. • Commissioner Carey stated the importance of the Chair serving as an ex officio member of any group involving the three governmental units stating that this is a responsibility that goes along with being Chair. It was decided that this recommendation would be reviewed at the first meeting in December. Commissioner Willhoit objected to the third recommendation stating no need for this because no one has expressed an interest in talking about extension of extra-territorial jurisdiction. Chair Marshall emphasized that the issue was raised when talking about the swap of extraterritorial jurisdiction and it became quite clear that there was one view of this intergovernmental cooperation and that it was a territorial issue. Disenfranchisment was brought forward several times at the public hearing. She feels it important that the citizens understand that the Board is against moving people that are not in the extra territorial jurisdiction into the extra-territorial jurisdiction and that joint planning is the solution.. Motion was made by commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Hartwell to instruct County members of the working intergovernmental group to not consider, as a part of their deliberations, disenfranchisement of county citizens through placing them in extra-territorial jurisdiction but will emphasize and encourage intergovernmental cooperation to achieve planning goals. VOTE: UNANIMOUS. Commissioner Willhoit suggested that a more formal mechanism be put in place to inform each other on the Board of the various happenings • on the different groups that each represent and Commissioner Halkiotis suggested that this be reviewed after .the budget process fs finished. 2. JOINT PLANNING ARE,~,_D USE PLAN (1.,,)_~XPANSION OF TRANSITION AREA (2)_~QjTj~jDARY DESIGNATION - TRANSITION AREA/RURAL BUFFER- (S) ORANGE COUNTY-CARRBO.~20 ZONING JUR,I5DICTION BOUNDARY Planning Board Chair Barry Jacobs presented the Flann#ng Board recommendation as stated below in the motion for approval. Judith Wegner, member of the Carrboro Board, stated that there is a consensus on the Carrboro Board that the swap idea should not be pursued. The Board agrees with the representation suggestion and she stated that the legislation submitted provides for that representation. If the Planning Board recommendation is adopted, the Carrboro Board will review and provide additional comments if necessary. she emphasized that continued dialogue is very important. Commissioner Willhoit referred to the two designations to be establish®d for Duke Forest. He questioned the rationale for indicating that those properties abutting Duke Forest will be kept out of the transition area and placed as part of the Rural Buffer. As part of the Land Use Plan this property would have a buffer as it was developed. Collins indicated that the buffer would be a condition placed upon any of the land developed along the Duke Forest line. • Don Epling, Associate University Counselor at Duke, stated that they are in the process of studying the purposes and goals for the use of Duke Forest land. He indicated that Duke does not object to any particular land use plan presented to date. The study will take into account how '°"`"~' development may impact and how- that fits in. ,.- i n o~ c~~s A,~o>~r nc>~ r.~ aas~cr ~ DA'tB ~I41137~ „_____-__ l~b~ect~ , PURL 1 C-PR 1 VATl`C~1F~R ,~P,,f U~9 A~ti~ ate. »a ~~,..~ De~rtmeat; BDA12D OF COl`gff8SI0iliStiS Public Hearing: Yes Attac2nments; In~ormstit~ Contact: Shirley E.

I.t is worthwhile and educational to be in an informal setting with leaders fram many facets of community • life. Several brief Conversations identified concerns of others with county policies, actions or directions that will be followed up by me with one-on-one meetings. Sponsored by the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber of Commerce it is not s~urprising~that conference objectives. and interests are centered in Chapel Hill-Carrboro•and that the County is perceived as a prime actor only as it interacts with this sector. Mayor Sheffield, School Board Chair Lindsey Efland and I have agreed to meet, inviting Economic Aevelopment Commission Chair John McKee and Sylvia Price to discuss how we might build from this experience and initiate an intergovernmental economic/planning strategy effort between the County and the Town of Hillsborough. Mayor Upchurch attended the entire conference and Mayor Gulley the last session. The larger developing Metro-region, with the t-40 corridor and Research Triangle Park at its core, has a need for intergovernmental dialogue and interaction -- a study of and recommendation for a plan for stategic planning on this larger metro area is to be referred to as the Institute for Private Enterprise at UNC-CH. On the local intergovernmental level.it has been recommended that the "13-point" conriiittee continue in existence though no clearly defined (nor even not-clearly defined) agenda has been identified for action. During the course of the meetings the:'"turf!!..issue was raised again. In that context it is evident that there is still no understanding that the county's unwillingness to extend extra-territorial juris- • diction is one of unwillingness to deprive county citizens of this franchise rather than to give up territory. Nor is it understood that within the joint planning context that it is the count only that gives up authority while the municipalities assume added responsibility while giving up nothing. -,.. `~ U:i `~ • Public-Private Conference It seems to me now, the way the Board is organized, that it was a mistake for me hot to have become a representative to this ccmunittee when 1 became Chair. So long as such a group exists 1 believe the Chair should become a member ex officio. In addition I am asking the Board to make a policy decision on whether or not we are willing to have the disenfranchisement of County citizens again be put upon the table in any form through the deliberations of this group. The resolution to create a task force among chamber representatives, Chiid Care Network and the Department of Social Services to address community day care needs is perhaps the resolution of most immediate concern of the County and one we applaud. Peggy Pollitizer will gather together the valuable work done earlier and send it on to the Chamber -- i pledged Commissioner office support to her for copying and mailing. Marti Pryor-Cook, of course, pledged her full cooperation. Another resolution called for a study of added resources for local government that would work with the League of Municipalities and Association of County Commissioners. Don, with his tax and finance committees responsibilities should be an especially useful resource to this effort. The County is fortunate that attention has been brought to the need to work actively to preserve open space with special attention being paid to the preservation of Duke forest. Several initiatives concern directly business concerns specific to the Chapel Hill- • Carrboro community -- attitudinal concerns, barriers to the success of small businesses and direct concerns on development of the Chape] Hii1-Carrboro Central Business districts. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. Authorize the Chair as a member, ex officio, of the Public-Private Partnership Steering Committee, to work towards the goals adopted by the conference; 2. Establish that the Chair, on election, becomes an ex officio representative of any local intergovernmental working group;. and '~ 3. Instruct County members of the working intergovernmental group to not consider, as a part of their deliberations, disenfranchisement of county citizens through placing them in extra-territorial jurisdiction. •
