3. The Orange County Board of Commissioners acknowledges that is understands the Certifications to be included in said application, which are required in connection with the Community Development Block Grant. ADOPTED, this the 18th day of October, 2011. VOTE: UNANIMOUS b. Oranqe—Alamance Boundarv Line `9%' Adiustment Action The Board addressed the Orange-Alamance boundary line 9% solution and considered a recommendation for the 9% resolution of boundary location. Planning Director Craig Benedict said that this has to do with the 9% course of the county line. He said that Alamance County approved this same item last night with a vote of 4- 1. He said that the process is trying to find the most appropriate location for the line. He went through the 5 sections that include the 9%. The first segment is the Eliza Lane area. In this area, both sides of the road will be serviced by the same emergency services and same school district. The second segment is Northwest 9�' Street. Over 41 properties were resolved to remain in Alamance in the 91%. The houses in this area would become part of Alamance County on both sides of the road. The third segment is Mebane 85/40 LLC and Tanger. This is suggested to be brought into the common property line. The fourth segment is Collington Farms and Arlington. The 9% solution will make it clear which county these homes are in. The fifth segment is the Mebane Oaks subdivision. All of these properties are presently taxed by Orange County. The resolution would allow both sides of the road to be serviced by the same county. The recommendation is to approve the resolution and incorporate it into a bill. Alamance County approved it without any deviations. Commissioner Hemminger asked some clarifying questions, which were answered by Craig Benedict. Commissioner Hemminger asked about the other areas that are not part of the 91%, such as Morrow Mountain. She thought that it was supposed to be part of a joint deal. Frank Clifton said that this is a discussion for the elected officials. The staff has resolved all that it can at this time. He said that the Mill Creek area and the Morrow Mountain area could get together and petition the County and then the County can take it to the legislature. Commissioner Jacobs asked if the residents from these finro neighborhoods have been told about this process. Craig Benedict said that there has been communication between the Orange County Chair and the Alamance County Chair. Commissioner Jacobs said that he would like to make a separate motion about this and informing the residents about this process. Commissioner Jacobs made reference to the letter from the Lambert's and asked that this letter be acknowledged.
