Mayor Phelps asked Margaret Hauth to address zoning concerns. Margaret Hauth said that the ordinance as it is written now does not allow this unless it is erected on behalf of the government. Chair Jacobs said that in one of the subgroups they had talked about erecting a sign to direct the public to other County facilities. This would be a goad place to do that. Commissioner Halkiotis said that they have been talking about that for four years. Chair Jacobs asked that the Town give the County a conceptual design to look at and the options. Commissioner Hallman said that they have not discussed this as a board yet. Jahn Link said that they also need to know which groups would be responsible far keeping information correct and updated. Commissioner Halkiotis painted out that a couple of meetings ago he asked the Manager to look at their own infrastructure needs that surround County buildings. For example, the sidewalk along the old courthouse is starting to disintegrate and the curbing is falling apart in front of the new courthouse. Chair Jacobs made reference to the Justice Facilities Exterior and Interior task forces. This might fit well into that process. Commissioner Halkiotis asked who was an the task forces and it was answered Commissioners Lloyd and Hallman. Commissioner Lloyd said that as a member of the clack committee, she wanted to thank John Link far all of his help in getting the clock restored. 8. Uadates and Potential Discussion Tonics -Town of Hillsborouah a. New Water Restriction Ordinance (Hillsborough) Kenny Keel said that about a year ago they started looking at the current restrictions and taking into account the new reservoir that the Tawn built. The Water and Sewer Advisory Committee discussed the Water Restriction Ordinance at length and came up with the current submittal. The committee is interested in trying to implement some changes to the restrictions prior to this year's dry season. County Engineer Paul Thames said that they have received this information and it went into a larger report dealing with the inter-relationship between the Water Conservation Drought Ordinance and the Eno River Capacity Use Agreement. It has been forwarded to the Board and the staff has commented on it. There is a drive to make sure that the water ordinances mesh because half of the customers are under the County's jurisdiction and half are under the Town's. This creates some confusion when there is even a small difference in the requirements. Mayor Phelps said that the prediction is that even if they are dry this summer they will have plenty of water.
