Interlocal Agreement Steering Committee <br />Status Report February 19, 2009 <br />Page 2 <br />Process <br />This. Steering Committee met on a monthly basis, and scheduled a series of four Public <br />Information meetings at key points in our discussions. Background information, analysis, and <br />recommendations were prepared for the committee's consideration. We scheduled the <br />information meetings on different dates and times (late afternoons as well as evenings), in <br />multiple locations to make it as convenient as possible for citizens to come by to get <br />information and provide comments. <br />The result of this work is the set of materials ready to present to a Joint Meeting of the <br />Hillsborough Town Board and the Orange County Board of Commissioners. Included in the <br />packet for this meeting are: <br />• A Draft Interlocal Agreement; <br />• A map suggesting boundaries for the various jurisdictional arrangements discussed in <br />the Draft Agreement; and <br />• A summary of the most recent set of Public Information Meetings <br />Summary of Recommendations <br />The key points in the recommendations: <br />Adjustments would be made to Hillsborough's Extraterritorial Jurisdiction boundary <br />that would remove existing Extraterritorial Jurisdiction designations in areas where <br />Hillsborough is not likely to grow, and expand Extraterritorial Jurisdiction in places <br />where it does not now exist but which are directly in the path of Hillsborough's near- <br />term growth. The proposed shifts would represent generally equivalent acreage being <br />added and taken away. <br />• A boundary for Hillsborough's growth and annexation would be established. <br />• Boundaries would be drawn for areas of joint review of development proposals <br />Next Steps <br />Following tonight's presentation and discussion, it would be helpful if each of the material is <br />referred to each of the two boards for individual consideration. Once an agreement is <br />finalized and executed, work can begin to implement the new system. <br />Town: <br />of <br />His ~h <br />~'~l4 Ea~s~a6r <br />6 <br />
