WHEREAS, George W. Bush has admitted that he willfully and repeatedly violated the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, and boasted that he would continue to do so, each violation constituting a felony; and NOW, THEREFORE, the Orange County Board of Commissioners submits that his actions and admissions constitute ample grounds far his impeachment, and that the General Assembly of the State of North Carolina has good cause far submitting charges to the U.S. House of Representatives under Section 603 as grounds for George W. Bush's impeachment and the investigation should extend to possible impeachable misconduct by Vice President Richard "Dick" Cheney. The Orange County Board of Commissioners further submits that Articles of Impeachment should charge that George W. Bush has violated his constitutional oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, by acting in a manner subversive of constitutional government to the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice, and to the manifest injury of the people of the State of North Carolina and the United States of America. WHEREFORE, George W. Bush, by such conduct, warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any offices of honor, trust or profit under the United States of America. This the 27th day of June 2006. dd. Eno Economic Development District (EDD) Small Area Plan The Board considered continuing community meetings and developing a process for preparation of a Small Area Plan far the Eno EDD at the Durham/Orange County line along US 70 and I-85. PUBLIC COMMENT: Will Dubose said that his family owns Ena Farms. He appeared before the Board last May about a tract of a land, approximately 1,000 acres, in eastern Orange County along US 70 as it comes close to merging with I-85. At that time, they had requested that the property be considered to be included in the Small Area Plan. They met with the Orange County Planning Department on numerous occasions and have also met with the City of Durham regarding the feasibility, willingness, and capacity of Durham to be able to service this area for Orange County from a water and sewer perspective. At the meeting, it became clear that Durham had the ability and willingness to do it and a bulk land sell concept was discussed, which would allow Durham to provide water and sewer to this area, while allowing Orange County to maintain the jurisdictional and zoning control of this area. After that meeting, they sent a letter to Commissioner Carey about discussing this further. They then met with John Link, Geof Gledhill, and other staff and shared this development and concept of a bulk sell for getting water and sewer for this critical area. He requested two things -that this area, Eno Farms, be included in the Eno EDD zone; and secondly to ask that he be included as a community volunteer to be on the volunteer board. A motion was made by Commissioner Halkiotis, seconded by Commissioner Foushee to approve continuing community meetings and develop a process for preparation of a Small Area Plan for the Eno EDD at the Durham/Orange County line along US 70 and I-$5. VOTE: UNANIMOUS
