C. Water and Sewer Management, Planning and Boundary Agreement <br /> The Board considered adopting the Water and Sewer Management, Planning <br /> and Boundary Agreement following final review by parties to the agreement. <br /> Craig Benedict pointed out on a map the various water service areas. All of <br /> the descriptions are outlined within the agreement. There was a minor change to the <br /> agreement that was made by the Town of Chapel Hill regarding the retraction of their <br /> urban services line in the southeast portion of the city. Accordingly, OWASA's <br /> responsibility areas would also be retracted. After this is reviewed by the Board of <br /> County Commissioners, Carrboro will need to review it. Carrboro has requested that <br /> Rangewood and Heritage Hills be included in the agreement somewhere instead of only <br /> on the map. The staff believes that the agreement incorporates the changes made by <br /> Chapel Hill and addresses Carrboro's concern about the two projects. This agreement <br /> will be used as a springboard for other comprehensive planning issues in the County. <br /> Chair Jacobs pointed out that this has been a long time in coming and he has <br /> been working on it for many years, along with Commissioners Carey and Gordon. <br /> Commissioner Gordon verified that the only change from the last agreement <br /> that was adopted in April is the urban services line in Chapel Hill. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Brown, seconded by Commissioner <br /> Carey to adopt and authorize the Chair to sign the Water and Sewer Management, <br /> Planning and Boundary Agreement with the modifications. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />
