ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />RESOLUTION INDICATING THAT THE SOUTHERN HUMAN SERVICES SITE <br />IS NOT AN OPTION FOR IFC FACILITY DEVELOPMENT <br />WHEREAS, on November 29, 1999 the Interfaith Council (IFC) requested that the County <br />express their interest in providing land at the Southern Human Services Center (SHSC) site <br />upon which to locate an IFC facility; and <br />WHEREAS, the County has purchased 34 acres of land on Homestead Road, Chapel Hill to <br />accommodate the long term growth of County services for citizens in the southern part of the <br />county; and <br />WHEREAS, future services needs for county functions have been identified to fill the available <br />building sites on the property; and <br />WHEREAS, long-term lease and/or sale of the land could jeopardize the County's ability to <br />adequately address future facility needs in southern Orange County; and <br />WHEREAS, IFC clients rely heavily on public transportation and since public transportation to <br />the Homestead site continues to present daily challenges; and <br />WHEREAS, the County supports the efforts of IFC to provide services to the homeless in our <br />community and is willing to support IFC's efforts to develop relocation plans that best meet <br />transportation and support services needs; <br />NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the land at the Homestead Road site should not <br />be considered as a potential site for the IFC facility development. <br />This, the 1$~' day of January, 2000. <br />Chair <br />Moses Carey <br />Orange County Board of Commissioners <br />(seal) <br />
