(Replacing Ms. Deborah Fulghieri) POSITION NO. NAME SPECIAL REPRESENTATIVE EXPIRATION DATE 1 Ms. Deborah Harris Chapel Hill ETJ 06/30/2018 NOTE - If the individuals listed above are appointed, the following vacancies remain: • *Position #2--- "Chapel Hill JPA" position ----- expiring 06/30/2017. (this position has been vacant for more than 6 months) FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Board will consider making an appointment to the Chapel Hill Planning Commission. ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Town of Chapel Hill is currently considering its options for ETJ/JPA membership on advisory boards and is expected to bring forward a text amendment to the Joint Planning Agreement for joint public hearing in October. The Joint Planning Agreement requires that the Town's planning board and board of adjustment include at least one resident from the Town's JPA "Transition Area". In addition, State law requires at least one member from a Town's ETJ area. The Town of Chapel Hill recently changed over 1 ,000 acres of its JPA Transition Area to ETJ in the vicinity of Rogers Road and is concerned that, because only 274 acres of JPA Transition Area remain, recruiting advisory 2 board members from this small of an area could prove difficult. Additionally, there may be some concern that such a small land area (relative to the Town's entire jurisdiction) will have a position reserved solely for it on two of the Town's advisory boards. The Town's Council and Planning Board discussed this issue in the spring of this year but the solution proposed (essentially, reserving one position on each advisory board for either an ETJ or JPA are representative) was determined to be inconsistent with the State law that requires an ETJ representative. 3 Board and Commission Members And Vacant Positions Chapel Hill Planning Commission Meeting Times: 7:00 p.m.first and third Tuesday of each month Terms: 2 Contact Person: Jennifer Phillips Meeting Place: the Chapel Hill Municipal Building Positions: 2 Length:3 years Contact Phone: 919-969-5014 Description: The Board of Commissioners appoints citizens two positions on this board(JPA and ETJ).

Members of advisory boards and commissions shall not discuss, advocate, or vote on any matter in which they have a conflict of interest or an interest which reasonably might appear to be in conflict with the concept of fairness in dealing with public business.
