,' ~' <br />6 <br />1 <br />2 THE MEETING WAS CONTINUED FOR TEN MINUTES <br />3 <br />4 Commissioner Jacobs presented a revised draft letter for the Board's consideration. <br />5 Commissioner Carey said that he feels the changes made by Commissioner Jacobs are reasonable and <br />6 supports the revised draft. <br />7 Commissioner Brown made reference to a meeting she had with two Cary elected officials. They told her <br />8 that they have not had communications with Chatham about providing them with additional water. She suggested that <br />9 before the County responds that other options be explored. She has great reservations about using OWASA money to <br />10 provide water to Chatham. She feels we need to encourage Chatham County to negotiate with the town of Cary and <br />11 also to explore other options. <br />12 Commissioner Halkiotis feels that instead of building intakes, other options need to be explored. He has <br />13 some unanswered questions. <br />14 Chair Gordon feels the County Commissioners should spend some time discussing the possibility of the <br />15 state taking over the western intake and how they would do it. <br />16 Commissioner Carey made reference to the proposed letter and said that he does not feel that at this point <br />17 it would serve us to be specific. He does fee! that we can stiff talk to Chatham County about all the options on the table <br />18 but that we owe Chatham County a response and should not be presumptuous to tell Chatham with whom they should <br />19 talk. He supports the letter as revised by Commissioner Jacobs. <br />20 Commissioner Brown agrees with not being specific in this letter. She feels the letter should encourage <br />21 continued meetings with Chatham in an effort to get an understanding of the issues. She would like to talk about the <br />22 University Lake watershed. <br />23 Chair Gordon suggested taking the comments received tonight, get additional information on the intake and <br />24 come up with a letter for the next agenda. It was decided that this would be placed on the next agenda for further <br />25 discussion and consideration. <br />26 <br />27 b.
