The concern was the dog-leg at Linden Road and the fact <br /> that there is no crossover to the south side of Route 70 . This was an <br /> arbitrary line picked by Mayors Gulley and Sheffield several years ago. <br /> Mayor Jenkins concern initially was that the proposed activity was <br /> within Durham County. Mayor Johnson assured him that it was in fact <br /> inside of Orange County and that a boundary line needed to be <br /> established that was easily recognizable for both Orange and Durham <br /> County. Mayor Jenkins informed Mayor Johnson that Durham had water to <br /> meet the needs of Hillsborough and were ready to cooperate in any way <br /> possible. Mayor Johnson suggested taking another look at the contract. <br /> Durham wants protection of Little River and Eno Township. Hillsborough <br /> wants water and Orange County wants an agreement on planning. This is <br /> an opportunity to sit down to negotiate and have everyone come out a <br /> winner. <br /> I .
