The first identifies those specific issues which the <br />Boazd of Commissioners requests be introduced in the General Assembly this year by the Orange County <br />legislative delegation. The second indicates the Board of Commissioners' support for various other <br />legislative matters that may be considered by the General Assembly this yeaz. The County Attorney has <br />transmitted the resolutions by cover letter to the members of the Orange County legislative delegation, <br />with an indication that a few refinements to the Boazd's legislative agenda will be forthcoming prior to the <br />March 24 General Assembly deadline for filing proposed local bills. <br />The County Attorney is working with several members of the Board on resolutions that would clarify the <br />Boazd's positions related to certain transportation initiatives and North Cazolina Department of <br />Transportation reform. Information related to these issues will be provided to the Board under sepazate <br />cover, and prior to the March 16 meeting. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no direct financial impact related to the adoption of these resolutions, <br />although enactment by the General Assembly of some of the requested legislative measures would have <br />impacts, generally beneficial, on the County's revenues in future fiscal years. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the resolutions <br />clarifying the Boazd's 1999 legislative agenda, and authorize the County Attorney to transmit these to the <br />Orange County legislative delegation. <br />
