Commissioner Gordon said that #6 on page 25 was new. She thinks that there is a financial piece to be worked out. It is her understanding that Durham County would like this financial piece at some point to be included in an interlocal agreement. Chair Carey said that they can verify this. Otherwise, it can be handled with a letter from the Chair which incorporated the Manager's recommendation. John Link said that he would call the Durham County Manager to ask what he needs the most in this process of financing. A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Commissioner Jacobs to (1) approve possible participation in a proposal from Durham County to create an interlocal agreement regarding property that is being jointly acquired along the New Hope Creek corridor with the understanding that the Manager will correspond with counterparts in Durham County regarding the financials; (2) to allow staffs from both counties to further define and make recommendations on which lands should be involved in a master plan for the New Hope Preserve; and (3) to allow Orange County staff to pursue pre-existing planned and pending park design projects such as Fairview.
