October 13, it was agreed that the County Manager and <br />representatives from the Town and County Board would meet to incorporate <br />certain language changes. <br />With reference to the requirement of joint approval of the Land <br />Use Plan and Plan amendments, Attorney Geoffrey Gledhill clarified that <br />changes to the Land Use Plan as well as changes to any of the County's <br />ordinances are legislative acts which cannot be delegated. The County <br />Commissioners are the final decision makers on any legislation which is <br />part of the Joint Planning Process. The Board may delegate responsibility <br />to a planning agency for reviewing and approving development projects <br />including the delegation to the Town of Chapel Hill if the Board so <br />desires. <br />After further discussion it was decided to request that the <br />representative from Chapel Hill draft some language for the changes they <br />advocate in time for the first meeting which will be scheduled the first <br />park of November. <br />It was the consensus of the Board that Commissioner Marshall <br />serve as the Board's representative; that Commissioner-Elect John Hartwell <br />be ~.nvited to attend the meeting, and that a public hearing for <br />considering the Joint Planning Agreement be set for November 18, 1986 in <br />Chapel Hill. <br />
