Commissioner Gordon stated she would have to weigh fairness and cost and who is going to pay before <br /> making a decision. She also stated the Commissioners need to make sure there are a lot of criteria for <br /> deviating from the surveyed line and she would like to know what the cost will be. Alamance County <br /> Commissioners asked for and received clarification on several points. <br /> DETERMINATION/RECAP—Chair Massey stated that it seems the majority of both boards,as well as <br /> the City of Mebane,like Option 2v.3 and suggested the planners and boards get together individually. <br /> Chair Foushee stated it would be helpful to be clear on what the next steps are. Frank Clifton suggested <br /> that the issue be reasonably addressed to accommodate the most people. He also suggested the two <br /> counties and the City of Mebane look at the cost of these individual areas to come up with an estimate and <br /> some kind of agreement to submit something to the legislative delegations that for 60%to 70%leave the <br /> line where the line is and for other areas to make these amendments as discussed. Craig Honeycutt stated <br /> the big issues are dealing with the schools on inter-local agreements, getting details on the cost and the <br /> number of students,and what portion Mebane is going to pay and what portion the private developers will <br /> pay. He asked for a consensus from both boards on a preferred option,in order for staff to begin working <br /> on those details to bring back to the Commissioners those figures and agreements so everyone has a clear <br /> understanding and all of the questions have been answered. Commissioner Jacobs noted that Option 2v.3 <br /> may not have come to the attention of some of the residents who may be switched,and suggested that <br /> letters be sent to make them aware before the Boards meet again so that if they have an objection,they will <br /> have an opportunity to voice it. <br /> CLOSING REMARKS—Chairs Massey and Foushee agreed that the majority of both boards want their <br /> managers to work on the details and bring it back, starting with Option 2v.3. <br /> ADJOURNMENT—There being no further business to be brought before the Boards, Chair Massey <br /> adjourned the Alamance County Commissioners' meeting. Chair Foushee adjourned the Orange County <br /> Commissioners' meeting. The meeting was adjourned at 9:00 p.m. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Patricia H. Jones <br /> Clerk to the Board <br />
