Commissioner Carey suggested that the County Commissioners forward any questions or <br />concerns they have with this ordinance to Mr. Abernathy and have a work session in early fall. <br />C. PRESENTATION ON USE OF GIS IN IDENTIFYING POTENTIAL SCHOOL SITES <br />The Board received a presentation on how the County's Geographic Information System can <br />be used by school systems to identify possible school sites. <br />Commissioner Halkiotis said that, using the data available in Orange County, they have been <br />able to provide information on future school sites. Commissioner Halkiotis would like to propose that <br />each school system have one representative from each school system, a person from each planning <br />department and set up a group that will meet once a month and get a handle on this information. He <br />feels this information will help us understand where the children are coming from, where we can site <br />schools and the environmental impacts of the land. This could be a subgroup of the Land Use Council. <br />D. REPORT ON TOWN OF CHAPEL HILL ENERGY POLICY AND ENERGY <br />ORDINANCE/RESOLUTION <br />The Board considered the town of Chapel Hill's adopted and proposed energy policy and <br />procedures as a potential guide for developing County and Board of Education policies and procedures <br />that will assure energy efficient design and construction in new or renovation building construction <br />funded by the County. <br />Paul Thames summarized the information. Commissioner Carey feels we need to look at <br />other similar policies and get some experience with policies without having an ordinance. <br />This report was received as information. <br />11.
