Commissioner Jacobs has volunteered to work on this group. <br />Commissioner Carey asked how the purple sheet is different than the original <br />abstract. Assistant County Manager Gwen Harvey said that the there is a section on page <br />three, which identifies the issues the staff heard when the Board discussed this on June 12th <br />during a budget work session. <br />Commissioner Jacobs said that he asked staff to include this section because he <br />thinks it was important to reflect that this Board wanted to be proactive and that it is not just the <br />response to other people's concerns. <br />Commissioner Halkiotis said that he is comfortable with Commissioner Jacobs going <br />forward. <br />Commissioner Carey added another question to the list -What do we tell citizens <br />when we build a school and use it for community purposes, like this one with the Carrboro <br />library at McDougle? <br />Commissioner Jacobs said that he would be sure there were minutes of the <br />meetings. <br />Chair Brown said that her thought was that the McDougle staff had concerns. She <br />suggested meeting with the SGC. <br />Commissioner Jacobs said that he does not know who the McDougle Partnership is. <br />Library Director Brenda Stephens said that the partnership includes the media <br />specialists at the elementary school and the middle school, the technology director, and the <br />principals. <br />Commissioner Jacobs suggested that someone on the SGC have a seat on the <br />committee, as Chair Brown suggested. <br />Commissioner Gordon made reference to the charge, review issues, and options <br />and read, "and provide recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners in a timeframe <br />that allows consideration and inclusion in the annual budget process." She suggested adding <br />"for Orange County and the Town of Carrboro." This would be reflected in the resolution as <br />follows: "Now Therefore Be it Resolved........thatellows consideration within the annual budget <br />process of Orange Caunty and the Town of Carrboro." <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Carey to <br />approve and authorize the Chair to sign the resolution as stated below, including the addition <br />made by Commissioner Gordon: <br />RESOLUTION <br />To Establish a <br />Carrboro Library Workgroup <br />WHEREAS, the Orange County Library has partnered with McDougle Schools in Carrboro since <br />1996 for the shared use of public library space known as the Carrboro <br />Branch Library; and <br />
