55 Objective CR-7: Encourage publication of material relating to the County's heritage. • Completed Design Standards for Orange County Local Landmarks and Local Historic Districts, which were adopted in October 2010. Objective CR-10: Establish a dialogue with the other jurisdictions in and adjacent to Orange County to address cultural resources in areas with or without designated Historic Preservation/District Commissions. • The HPC began this dialogue during the 2009 Preservation Summit, which lead to the BOCC's initial discussion with the Hillsborough Town Council regarding the handling of historic properties in the Town's ETJ at the joint meeting. The HPC sent a .memo to County Management to request continued work with the Hillsborough HDC regarding possibility of extending the County's Local Landmark program into the Town of Hillsborough's ETJ. Identify any activities this board/commission expects to carry out in 2011 as they relate to established BOCC goals and priorities. If applicable, is there a fiscal impact (i.e., funding, staff time, other resources) associated with these proposed activities (please list). The HPC expects to continue its work on BOCC goals two and five as described above. What are the concerns or emerging issues your board has identified for .the. upcoming year that it plans to address, or wishes to bring to the Commissioners' attention? • The HPC would like to revisit the language in the County's internal Cultural and Archaeology Resources Policy, adopted in 2006, to ensure that it provides the intended level of protection to local resources. • The HPC would like to publish the countywide survey files on the Department of Environment, Agriculture, Parks and Recreation website. • The HPC would like to increase its outreach to local residents, particularly the owners of historic buildings, to share more information about existing preservation tools and programs.
