Phase 2: <br /> Lucinda Munger said that there was just a question from the Board of Aldermen about <br /> what the County means by "growth and development." This was part of the concern. <br /> Frank Clifton said that it may be better to make the two phases (one and two) one <br /> phase. The Board agreed. <br /> Pam Jones said that the two phases could just be called Technical and Public. <br /> The Board agreed with having just one phase. <br /> Lucinda Munger said that technical analysis can be done rather quickly and in-house. <br /> The vision is to bring back to the Board and the Manager the sites that meet the majority of <br /> these criteria. Those sites that fit the best would then be put before the public for comment. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs suggested calling the first part "preliminary" and the second part <br /> "primary". <br /> Chair Pelissier made reference to Attachment A, which is a letter from Mayor Chilton <br /> with the Board of Aldermen motion. <br /> Frank Clifton said that staff could put out a solicitation with the criteria for sites but the <br /> issue for all sites will be the zoning and this would not happen until the Board of County <br /> Commissioners adopted the criteria in the fall. <br /> Pam Jones said that the site criteria could be defined in the RFP. <br /> Michael Harvey pointed out that in the Board of Aldermen meeting, there was no <br /> discussion about changing the zoning ordinance. <br /> Chair Pelissier suggested asking Carrboro what would be done with the zoning <br /> ordinance and how to share costs for getting permits, etc. <br /> 4. Follow-up on Electronic/Paperless Aqenda <br /> Chief Information Officer Todd Jones said that the Board discussed agenda automation <br /> in May as well as paperless agendas. He has been working with the staff in the Manager's <br /> Office to put together a process that will put together the agenda items in a pdf format. The <br /> images are crisper and the file sizes are smaller for electronic delivery. It is also a much more <br /> interactive document. He offered to meet with Board members to review the new process, <br /> how to download files onto laptops or iPads, how the annotation works, etc. He said that <br /> anyone with Adobe reader can access the files, but it has to be the latest update. The <br /> technology is fairly straightforward. <br /> Todd Jones answered clarifying questions from the County Commissioners about this <br /> process. <br /> Commissioner Gordon asked if there were other options for County Commissioners <br /> such as paper. Todd Jones said that if other County Commissioners wanted to use paper, <br /> then it could be provided. <br /> Commissioner Hemminger suggested considering a policy of how County <br /> Commissioners interact with each other when they use Internet-based devices during a <br /> meeting. There need to be guidelines. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Hemminger, seconded by Commissioner Gordon <br /> to adjourn the meeting at 9:41 PM. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> Bernadette Pelissier, Chair <br />
