Sin.ce the 104 acre • <br /> , garcel is owned jointly bg Carrboro, Chapel Hill and Orange � <br /> County, re�btirsement by the three governmeats to the System� - <br /> �nterprise fund for non-system use of the 104 acres will be ia <br /> . praportion. to their.owners�i.ip interests in the parcel (Carrbora • <br /> . 19or Chagel Hill 43�, Ora.nge CaU.nty 43�} . • <br /> There is nothing in the language of the.Agreement o= the <br /> - Ari►endment that cante.mplates or provides for the 60 acre "System <br /> ' "• gnrposes" parcel to be used fox� other th�n System p��T'rnoses. .In <br /> fact, that parcel was deeded from 'Carrbora, Chapel Hill and • <br /> • Orange Caunty solely for System p,�*�oses. At the time of the <br /> .Ag�eement and the Amenc�ent, it was contemp].ated that the 60 <br /> • acses wauld be tLSed for a L++lRF', transfer station o= both_ A copy <br /> of -t.he mi.nutes of the Jtil.y 7, 1939 Chapel ftill Town Council <br /> meeting minutes provides a saapshot of this history. Further <br /> evidence of the int�nt of the gar�ies to the Agreement that the ' . <br /> 60 acre parcel be dedicated ta System purposes is the fact that <br /> there is nothing in the Agreement or the Amendment that provides <br /> for •reimb�rsement to the System enterp�c�.se fund in the event the <br /> 60 acre parcel is not used for System purposes. . <br /> It is, of course, possible for Orange Cvunty and the towns <br /> • �f Carrboro, Chapel Aill- and.Aillsbarav.gh to further amend the <br /> Agreement to change the designation of the 60 acre parcel of tlze <br /> �Greene Tract from. �reserqed for System pvrposes" to, . <br /> essentially� the same designation as the remaini�.g portian af <br /> the Greene Tract. Given. the staff arid elected official work that <br /> has l��en. done an Greene Tract 115@5� that seems to me to be <br /> apprvpriate. �If such an amen.dment is adopted by the parties to ' . <br /> the Agreeiaent, then�the 60 ac�e portion of the Greene Tract <br /> would be available for• other than System j7»'�"rn0525 triggering the <br /> re'imhursement to the System enterprise fund pvrsv.a.n.t to the ' <br /> Reimbursement provisian of the Agreement. • <br />
