in Chapel Hill last year and believes the Northern Human Services Center offerings should be well received. Next Steps The Board requested that the County Manager and the President draft a process for review by the County Commissioners and the Board of Trustees to: ^ Develop a process and criteria for siting the facility; ^ Establish a suggested timetable by which the project should move forward, including the timing for funding; ^ C7utline a process by which to conduct the feasibility study/needs assessment for the facility. The Board requested that this information be developed in a fairly short time frame. Commissioner Jacobs requested that the process also outline how far the plan may proceed without the selection of a specific site. The Commissioners also reviewed their previous discussions on April 25 concerning Durham Tech. The approved minutes of the April 25, 2001 meeting show that the Board "endorsed in principle the siting and future development of the grange County Satellite Campus of Durham Technical Community College." The Board discussed the merits of having a public hearing on establishing a satellite campus before the Board proceeds with a formal resolution of intent which would commit the Board to spending money far the campus. Commissioner Gordon noted that the Board customarily holds hearings on important matters. Commissioner Jacobs agreed that we should hold a hearing and noted that it would be a good opportunity to educate the public. The Board decided to hold a public hearing before adopting the formal resolution of Intent to Proceed with the satellite campus. This resolution is required by the State to begin the process. The staff will incorporate a hearing into the suggested timetable referenced above. ADJOURNMENT Following closing comments by members of the Board and the Board of Trustees, the meeting was adjourned at approximately 8:30 p.m. Stephen H. Halkiatis, Chair Beverly A. Blythe, CMC
