ORANGE COUNTY <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date: October 16, 2012 <br /> Action Agenda <br /> Item No. 5-h <br /> SUBJECT: Interlocal Agreement between Town of Hillsborough and Orange County for <br /> Erosion Control Services <br /> DEPARTMENT: Planning and Inspections PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No <br /> Erosion Control Division <br /> ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br /> 1. Interlocal Agreement (Contract Craig Benedict, Planning Director, <br /> Document, approved by Hillsborough) 245-2592 <br /> Ren Ivins, Erosion Control Supervisor, <br /> 245-2586 <br /> Wesley Poole, Erosion Control Officer I, <br /> 245-2587 <br /> PURPOSE: To consider approval of an updated Interlocal Agreement to continue <br /> implementation of the erosion control program for the Town of Hillsborough by Planning & <br /> Inspections' Erosion Control Division. <br /> BACKGROUND: Orange County has conducted soil erosion and sedimentation control for the <br /> Town of Hillsborough since 1975. Soil erosion and sedimentation control is actually a <br /> requirement of the Town's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II <br /> stormwater permit. While the Town of Hillsborough no longer requires Orange County to <br /> provide stormwater services, the Town does want Orange County to continue providing erosion <br /> control services within the Town of Hillsborough's planning jurisdiction. Execution of this <br /> Interlocal Agreement will provide the means for the continued implementation of the erosion <br /> control programs. The County Attorney has reviewed the contract and provided input. The <br /> Erosion Control Division does not review or inspect local government projects, whether the <br /> projects are Orange County's or other municipalities, so there is no conflict of interest. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Erosion Control Division is presently partially funded through user <br /> fees paid by developers requiring land-disturbing permits. The Erosion Control Division will <br /> continue to collect erosion control plan review and land-disturbance fees paid by the developer <br /> to fund the erosion control program within the Town of Hillsborough. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve and authorize the <br /> Chair to sign the Interlocal Agreement. <br />
