Based on the <br /> draft Meeting Summary the Task Force reinforced support for both the Community <br /> Center and Sewer in the Historic Rogers Road Community, by the recommending the <br /> following: <br /> 1. That the Managers meet and report back to the Task Force at the October 24, <br /> 2012 meeting, specifically to study how the local governments can cost-share <br /> sewer improvements and a community center. <br /> 2. That the Managers consider the "Carrboro" cost sharing option. <br /> 3. That the Task Force move forward with the Community Center and continue <br /> discussions as to how sewer is implemented. <br /> On October 16, 2012 the County and Town Managers met and developed the following <br /> recommendations: <br /> 1. A new Rogers Road Neighborhood Community Center to be constructed on the 2 <br /> lots in the Phoenix Place subdivision, a site graciously provided Habitat for <br /> Humanity. (The Board of County Commissioners approved a capital project of <br /> $500,000 to advance funding for a Rogers Road Community Center on October <br /> 16, 2012.) <br /> a. That County staff will work with Habitat to investigate a contractual agreement <br /> with Habitat to construct a Community Center that would serve the residents <br /> of the Rogers Road Neighborhood. The Managers will approve the design of <br /> the facility, initially funded by Orange County, with the intent of a long-term <br /> master lease agreement that would cover operating and maintenance of the <br /> Center, with the detail to be worked out later, including a second lease with <br /> Rogers Eubanks Neighborhood Association (RENA) for $1 per year, to <br /> operate some community based programs. <br /> b. Authorize the Managers to negotiate an Interlocal cost sharing agreement for <br /> the Community Center that will commit the County and the Towns to the <br /> same costs sharing percentages as outlined in the 1972 Landfill Agreement <br /> 43% for Orange County, 43% for The Town of Chapel Hill and 14% for The <br /> Town of Carrboro. Funding to reimburse the County will begin in Fiscal <br /> 2013/14. <br />
