Community is not consistent with North Carolina General Statutes and would subject <br />the local governments to legal challenges. Funding for a community center does not <br />have a relationship to Solid Waste and could not be funded from Solid Waste reserves. <br />Therefore, funding for either the extension of sewer services and /or a community center <br />will have to come from the County's and Towns' other general revenue sources. There <br />was also significant discussion on January 26 regarding the creation of a task force to <br />address the issues. <br />On February 21, 2012 the Orange County Board of Commissioners authorized the <br />Creation of a new Historic Rogers Road Neighborhood Task Force to address sewer <br />service and a community center. The composition of the Task Force was to include two <br />members appointed by each Town (Chapel Hill and Carrboro); two members appointed <br />from the County; and two members appointed from Rogers Eubanks Neighborhood <br />Association (RENA). <br />Appointed Task Force Members: <br />David Caldwell: <br />Robert Campbell: <br />Valerie Foushee: <br />Pam Hemminger; <br />Michelle Johnson <br />Sammy Slade: <br />Penny Rich: <br />James Ward: <br />RENA <br />RENA <br />Orange County <br />Orange County <br />Carrboro <br />Carrboro <br />Chapel Hill <br />Chapel Hill <br />Charge of the Historic Rogers Road Neighborhood Task Force: <br />The Charge for the Historic Rogers Road Neighborhood Task Force is to investigate <br />and make recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners, the Chapel Hill <br />Town Council and the Carrboro Board of Aldermen for neighborhood improvements <br />including funding sources and the financial impact to the County & Towns, for the <br />following: <br />1.
