1 00034 .County Manager Marvin Hoffman asked about the representation on the PIC and Ken Thompson indicated the number of members representing a certain county or city would be based on population. In answer to a concern from Carl Thompson about the advantages of Chatham County forming a consortium with Orange County, Don Willhoit noted that the main disadvantages of Orange going with Chatham is the administrative size and the lack of access to the Sobs in the Research Triangle Park. However, there are identifiable problems like outreach and transportation where JOCCA could be effective. Commissioner Walker spoke in support of the past achievements of the Central Piedmont SDA. He asked how JOCCA could help in the need for trans- portation and Gloria Williams noted that JOCCA is part of the Coordinated Trans- portation System which operates in the rural area of Orange County. Transportation would be available to transport participants to training and job sites. Walker asked if the transportation service is available whether or not JOCCA operates the program and Williams explained it would need to become a part of the Coordinated Transportation Development Plan which is being developed at this time. Commissioner Marshall clarified that a service would have to be provided by JOCCA before they are eligible to use the system. The CATS can only be used to serve those clients through a service which is offered through JOCCA. Hoffman summarized the three choices for Chatham: (1) Joint Drange County/Chatham County consortium administered by JOCCA. (2) Joint Orange County/Chatham County/Durham County consortium admin- istered through a consortium arrangement. (3) Lee/Hornet/Sampson/Chatham Counties. Chair Willhoit asked that the two County Managers meet to discuss an approach to the redesignation of the SDA. 2. COUNTX BOUNDARY LINE Roscoe Reeve presented information on establishing a boundary between Orange and Chatham Counties. It has been attempted in such a way as to benefit both counties with a minimum expense. There are two ways to determine the line. The first is an actual survey of all the land along the boundary and~the second by the use of modern technology with the govening boards making the final decision. The proposal is to accept, by the use of an orthophotograph,the line as determined by the two governing boards. A description will then be drawn from the monu- mentation of the State Blank Coordinance System defining the line and recording it in both counties. He explained the process used to obtain the orthophotograph and the three lines drawn across the map that takes into account the concerns of both counties. Chair Willhoit asked if a survey had been done of those homes on or close to the line to determine what County they think they live in to avoid any households from changing county designation, schools, etc. After further discussion on the area of Wolfs Pond and the homes that may be affected, it was agreed that the people in the immediate vicinity of the proposed line would be contacted to be sure they stay in the county they desire. ~'~+'
