Below is an abridged summary of the meeting as Craig Benedict understood and reports. He had the opportunity to clarify, upon request of their Board of County Commissioners, certain questions. He acknowledges that at times it was difficult to understand the ebb and flow of discussion but offers the following impressions. (the video of this meeting is available at http://www.aamance-nc.com/acweb-20/acvideo/commissioners/2010-meeting- videos/december-6-2010.html ) 1. What Orange County staff thought were consensus adjustments based on the November 29, 2010 meeting on the Village of the Oaks/Scarlett Oak Lane and the Morrow Mill Road area (both sections) were reported by Alamance County staff as Orange County's additional requests. 2. Alamance County staff commented that Orange County's `9%' request did not meet administrative criteria, although later noted that half of the area met administrative `petition' criteria and that the other half loosely met 2010 Local Bill 1362 criteria Section 7 and 8 related to `unduly burdensome'. 3. It was anecdotally reported that Alamance County staff and elected officials received additional requests after the November 29, 2010 meeting for adjustments and they were concerned of when do you stop. 4. Craig Honeycutt, Alamance County Manager, noted that the Orange County requests `do make sense' and `were reasonable' and there is interest to move forward with 100%. 5. A motion was made by Tom Manning, new Alamance County Board of County Commissioner, to approve the 91 % (i.e. 77% NCGS line and 14% property owner petitions) and the 9% Orange County request if Orange County `indemnifies' adjustments. (Note: This did not seem to include any mention of the work session adjustments) Seconded by William Lashley and approved 4-1 dissenting Tim Sutton. Agenda Background before update: The Executive Summary of the 2010 Orange-Alamance County Boundary Line Report (Attachment 1) of the abstract explain the amendments suggested at the November 29 Joint Work Session. Planning Staff will explain the amendments. A Resolution Agreeing To Deliver a Plat of the Orange -Alamance County Boundary for Incorporation into a 2011 Local Bill that Resolves the Disputed Boundary and Creates Conclusive Boundary explains the action of tonight's meeting. (Update 12/6/10 - to be amended accordingly) The Alamance County Board of Commissioners will hear this subject on December 6, 2010. Staff will report on the outcome of their meeting. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Review of this report does not entail a financial impact beyond the staff time of the manager, attorney, and planning departments with additional review from emergency services, tax administration, and IT/GIS. After Orange Alamance County Board of County Commissioners December meeting, staff will begin to implement the recommendation of Board action and determine with more detail, the associated readjustment to the tax valuation and location of various properties. Survey costs are primarily born by the petitioners and property owners. Orange County is recommending paying for a few existing subdivision boundaries to make emergency services provision clearer.
