Cost Sharing Recommendations: <br /> On August 22, 2012 the Task Force approved the following recommendation: <br /> The Task Force recommends that the County and Town Managers collectively discuss and <br /> formulate a fair and equitable cost sharing recommendation for the Task Force to consider. <br /> Options 2 & 4 are no longer being considered by the Task Force, therefore the <br /> recommendation should be based on options 1, 3, and /or 5. The cost sharing <br /> recommendation will be reviewed by the Task Force and could be applied to funding Sewer <br /> Infrastructure and a Community Center. <br /> POTENTIAL NEXT STEPS: <br /> Formulate recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners, Chapel Hill Town Council <br /> and the Carrboro Board of Aldermen on the following unresolved issues: <br /> 1. Providing sewer service to the Rogers Road Neighborhood as defined in the Task <br /> Force Charge. <br /> a. Determine which grant opportunities are possible and probable and worthy of <br /> consideration. <br /> b. Agree collectively on costs sharing and possible funding sources. <br /> 2. Moving and renovation of the Hogan-Rogers House for a Neighborhood Community <br /> Center. <br /> a. Define a moving and renovation project team. <br /> b. Create a timeline for moving and renovating the house. <br /> c. Create and approve a capital and/or operating budgets for the Community Center <br /> d. Agree collectively on costs sharing and possible funding sources. <br /> 3. Complete investigating is the possibility of constructing a new Community Center on the <br /> two lots donated by Habitat for Humanity. <br /> a. Create and approve a capital and/or operating budgets a new Community Center <br /> b. Create a timeline for constructing a new Community Center. <br /> a. Agree collectively on costs sharing and possible funding sources. <br /> 4. Agree on a strategy to educate and promote the recommendations of the Historic <br /> Rogers Road Neighborhood Task Force to all three local governments. <br /> Report ends here. <br /> Frank Clifton said that the numbers on the utilities only include sewer. He said that he <br /> has had a discussion with the director of Habitat of Humanity and they may want to contract <br /> with Habitat to be the project manager. <br /> Commissioner Hemminger said that she and Commissioner Foushee served on this <br /> task force and she has met with Habitat about this issue several times. Habitat for Humanity <br /> would be willing to be the coordinator. They are not allowed to be contractors for anything <br /> other than residential, but they could help coordinate this community center. Habitat has not <br /> brought this to its board yet and is waiting on the recommendation. There are several <br /> concerns about the property and the commitment of funding, etc. Habitat for Humanity is an <br /> eager partner, but they want assurances. She hopes to move forward with this community <br /> center before the landfill closes. <br />
