11 <br />Hillsborough. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Willhoit, seconded by Commissioner <br />Halkiotis to approve the proposed charges, including authorization for the <br />County Manager to sign the Memorandum of Understanding with the Department of <br />City and Regional Planning. <br />Commissioner Crowther asked about a resolution passed by Hillsborough <br />which was read at the public hearing on November 30 dealing with Cooperative <br />Planning and the proposed Economic Development District. Marvin Collins <br />explained that this goal was adopted separate from what Hillsborough <br />requested. <br />Commissioner Gordon asked if one citizen representative could be <br />included on the Stoney Creek Basin Planning Group. Commissioner Willhoit said <br />he would like to take it under advisement on how to involve the citizens. He <br />doesn't think that having one citizen there will necessarily provide <br />representation of the area. He feels that getting citizen input is important <br />and that the County Commissioners should provide a mechanism for that input. <br />Marvin Collins noted that the two representatives from the Planning Board <br />would represent the citizens. <br />Lee Rafalow expressed a concern about citizen representation on this <br />committee. He feels the committee should be citizen based and focus on what <br />is good for the neighborhood. <br />Commissioner Gordon made a motion to add two citizens from the <br />neighborhood to the committee to be considered by application. <br />MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF A SECOND <br />Commissioner Gordon made a motion to add on page 21 a fourth <br />alternative plan, namely, the rural character study approach as outlined in <br />the Conceptual Guidelines for Rural Orange County, seconded by Commissioner <br />Crowther. <br />VOTE ON THE AMENDMENT TO THE MAIN MOTION: UNANIMOUS <br />VOTE ON THE MAIN MOTION: AYES, 4; NOS, 1 (Commissioner Gordon, because of the <br />lack of citizen representation on the Stoney Creek Basin Planning Group) <br />B. 1993-94 COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT <br />Finance Director Ken Chavious presented the comprehensive Annual <br />Financial Report for the fiscal year which ended June 30, 1994.
