A RESOLUTION OF INTENT CONCERNING THE ROLE OF
THE SCHOOLS AND LAND USE COUNCILS
WHEREAS, the Orange County Board of Commissioners and municipal
governing boards make land use and development decisions that can
increase the numbers of school children; and
WHEREAS, the Orange County Schools Board of Education and Chapel Hill-
Carrboro City Schools Board of Education are responsible for school policy
and school buildings; and
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners with approval of the other
jurisdictions has established Schools and Land Use Councils (one for each
school district) to advise on issues concerning growth and land use issues
relating to schools; and
WHEREAS, the Schools and Land Use Councils are composed of elected
representatives from the Orange County Commissioners, Carrboro Board of
Aldermen, Chapel Hill Town Council, Hillsborough Town Board of
Commissioners, Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools Board of Education,
and Orange County Schools Board of Education; and
WHEREAS, the Schools and Land Use Councils are charged with developing a
coordinated plan for approving developments, accounting for the impact of
the developments on school capacity, siting schools, and building schools to
meet demonstrated need in a timely manner; and
WHEREAS, the Schools and Land Use Councils began meeting on a bi-monthly
basis in October 1997 to fulfill their charge;
NOW, 'THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Schools and Land Use
Councils have instructed their respective staffs to create initially face-to-face
methods of information sharing through periodic meetings to be followed
ultimately by electronic processes of data transfer and analysis resulting in:
a. A coordinated system of information-sharing whereby each jurisdiction will
be connected into the decision points of other jurisdictions as they relate to
major decisions on individual development issues as well as cumulative
development issues; and ..
b. A process that elevates these outcomes of information to the board level of
each jurisdiction so that board consideration can be made on issues such as
the following:
• capital improvement-plan and potential for joint capital plans
• plans for infrastructure
• siting schools with other public facilities
• siting schools appropriately in a development or in a geographic area
