BACKGROUND: At their October 22, 1998 meeting, the joint Schools and Land Use Councils considered a memorandum of agreement that would establish a coordinated site and facility planning process for schools and compatible government facilities. This item was first presented at a September 30, 1997 meeting of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City School Board, Orange County School Board, and Board of County Commissioners and referred to the Schools and Land Use Councils for future consideration. The memorandum has received extensive review and comment since October 1998. At the May 12, 1999 meeting of the joint Schools and Land Use Councils, it was the consensus of members in attendance to refer the memorandum to their respective boards for consideration of adoption. FINANCIAL IMPACT: If adopted and implemented by all parties, the memorandum should lead to cost efficiencies through the future development of various joint use facilities, rather than the development by several jurisdictions of multiple facilities with similar purposes. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Administration recommends adoption of the Memorandum of Agreement for Providing Coordinated Site and Facility Planning
