'Tony" Britt to a first full term, both to expire on March 31, 2005. <br /> t. Minutes <br /> The Board approved minutes from the following meetings: Feb. 2, 2002, annual retreat; Feb. <br /> 19, 2002, regular meeting; and, Feb. 25, 2002, quarterly public hearing. <br /> U.

Transmittal of Orange County Hazard Mitigation Plan to the State Division of <br /> Emergency Management <br /> The Board considered authorizing the transmittal of the latest draft of the Orange County <br /> Hazard Mitigation Plan to the North Carolina Division of Emergency Management for its comments. <br /> Commissioner Gordon asked how drought conditions were addressed. Planning Director <br /> Craig Benedict said that this document is coordinated with Hillsborough and Carrboro. Chapel Hill is <br /> doing its own plan. Concerning drought conditions, when coordinating this with the State, there is not a <br /> regulation that can prevent it except conservation measures. The measures that the County is <br /> considering are those that will be discussed at the water summit and also proposals by OWASA. These <br /> issues will be discussed with the State to be wrapped into a mitigation strategy. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Commissioner Brown to <br /> authorize the transmittal of the latest draft of the Orange County Hazard Mitigation Plan to the North <br /> Carolina Division of Emergency Management for its comments. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> L Legal Advertisement for May 28, 2002, Quarterly Public Hearing <br /> The Board considered authorizing the legal advertisement for the scheduled May 28`h <br /> quarterly public hearing. <br /> Chair Jacobs distributed a revised agenda for the quarterly public hearing. Informational <br /> items will be presented in addition to the public hearing. <br /> Commissioner Gordon said that the only thing on the quarterly public hearing agenda is the <br /> Schools Adequate Public Facilities Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). She recommends at the end <br /> of the second paragraph to leave off the last sentence on the page. This is on page three at the bottom, <br /> "Other local governments are also in the process...." These changes were noted by Craig Benedict. <br /> Chair Jacobs said that the Schools Adequate Public Facilities (SAPF) MOU has been <br /> considered by other governing boards in Orange County. He asked how this process would work so we <br /> could avoid having to respond to make changes to the Memorandum of Understanding if and when <br /> another elected board makes changes. We have not heard from Carrboro and we did receive a letter <br /> from the Orange County School Board indicating they are not ready to adopt this. He said that it might <br /> be premature to bring this forward to public hearing again. <br /> Craig Benedict said that the reason they are suggesting that this come forward again is <br /> because there have been some changes since November 2000, which was the last public hearing on the <br /> SAPF MOU. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Commissioner Brown to approve <br /> the legal advertisement for the May 28, 2002 Quarterly public hearing as amended by Commissioner <br /> Gordon, including the informational items as distributed by Chair Jacobs. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />
