Interiocal Agreement Steering Committee Status Report February 19,2009 Page 2 Process This Steering Committee met on a monthly basis, and scheduled a series of four Public Information meetings at key points in our discussions. Background information, analysis, and recommendations were prepared for the committee's consideration. We scheduled the information meetings on different dates and times (late afternoons as well as evenings), in multiple locations to make it as convenient as possible for citizens to come by to get information and provide comments. The result of this work is the set of materials ready to present to a Joint Meeting of the Hillsborough Town Board and the Orange County Board of Commissioners. Included in the packet for this meeting are: • A Draft Interlocal Agreement; • A map suggesting boundaries for the various jurisdictional arrangements discussed in the Draft Agreement; and • A summary of the most recent set of Public Information Meetings Summary of Recommendations The key points in the recommendations: • Adjustments would be made to Hillsborough's Extraterritorial Jurisdiction boundary that would remove existing Extraterritorial Jurisdiction designations in areas where Hillsborough is not likely to grow, and expand Extraterritorial Jurisdiction in places where it does not now exist but which are directly in the path of Hillsborough's near- term growth. The proposed shifts would represent generally equivalent acreage being added and taken away. • A boundary for Hillsborough's growth and annexation would be established. • Boundaries would be drawn for areas of joint review of development proposals. Next Steps Following tonight's presentation and discussion, it would be helpful if each of the material is referred to each of the two boards for individual consideration. Once an agreement is finalized and executed, work can begin to implement the new system. T&&gh
