ITEMS REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA: <br />C. Skills Development Center - Lease Agreement with Partners <br />The Board considered entering into lease agreements with the Orange County Literacy Council, the Joint <br />Orange-Chatham Community Action Agency, the Employment Security Commission and Durham Technical Community <br />College for space at the Skills Development Center. <br />Commissioner Brown asked why we don't have a lease with Good Works. Purchasing Director Pam Jones <br />said that they will have a similar lease agreement with them, however they are not considered a partner. These leases <br />are for office space because most of the other common areas are open to everyone. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Brown, seconded by Commissioner Halkiotis to approve and <br />authorize the Chair to sign the leases with Orange County Literacy Council, the Joint Orange-Chatham Community <br />Action (JOCCA), the Employment Security Commission and Durham Technical Community College for space to be used <br />at the Skills Development Center, 503 West Franklin Street, Chapel Hill, North Carolina. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />e.

He explained that the <br />consultant will do an historic architectural survey and an archeological survey of the Corridor. The survey will be part of <br />an eventual preservation plan for the St. Mary's Road Corridor. The $6,000 cash match is in the FY 1998-99 Planning <br />Department budget. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Brown, seconded by Commissioner Carey to approve the Request <br />for Proposals with the recommendation to come back to the County Commissioners for approval. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />e Preliminary Plan - High Point Woods Phase III <br />The Board considered a preliminary plan for High Point Woods Phase III in Chapel Hill Township.

It will be accessed from the south side of Ode Turner Road via Sparrow Hawk Crest Road by a Class B <br />private road. <br />Commissioner Jacobs asked about the access to the private road.
