OLD BUSINESS <br />Commissioner proposals on equal opportunity in education -deferred <br />Goals and objectives staff or BOCC wish to modify -deferred <br />Campus of Southern Human Services Center: <br />Dave Stancil made reference to the site evaluation and map of the Southern Human <br />Services Center. <br />Chair Jacobs said that he suggested that this be on the agenda because they have never <br />discussed this in depth. He said that it seems that UNC does not want to have the parking and <br />senior center straddling the line. Some seniors are arguing to put the senior center right up on <br />Homestead Road. It seems that it would be a good idea to evaluate this site just like if it was a <br />developer coming in. Based on the environmental constraints, it does not look like the best <br />place would be out on the road. <br />John Link said to think of this as overlays. The next step would be for the Board to decide <br />what to put where. <br />Chair Jacobs said that if the Board appoints a task force to define what is in the senior <br />center, the Board should make the siting decision first. <br />Commissioner Carey said that he needs to look at this more closely before making any <br />decisions. Commissioner Gordon agreed. <br />
