That the Managers recommend to the Task Force a contract between Habitat, Orange 17 County, the Town of Carrboro, and the Town of Chapel Hill for the construction of a new 18 Rogers Road Community Center with a budget not to exceed $700,000 that is in compliance 19 with North Carolina public bidding requirements and is approved by County and Towns 20 Attorneys. 21 3.

The agreement(s) shall provide for the 23 construction, operation, and maintenance of a new Rogers Road Neighborhood Community 24 Center. Additional agreements, if needed, shall provide for services, programs & activities to be 25 provided in the Center. All agreements will be reviewed and approved by County Attorney. 26 27 County Sewer District: 28 1 .

That a County Sewer District would make special assessments against benefited property 35 within the district to cover the costs of constructing, extending or improving sewage disposal 36 system. The basis of any special assessment would be determined at a later date after 37 investigating development potential and the number of possible dwelling units. A special 38 assessment would share the costs of the sewer system with current benefited property 39 (homeowners) and undeveloped land for future development. 40 c. That the Managers work with the Attorneys to create criteria that would enable homeowners, 41 that have lived in the Historic Rogers Road Neighborhood before 1972, to connect from the 42 sewer system free of charge and recommend a sliding scale fee structure for homeowners that 43 move to the Neighborhood between 1972 and 2012. 44 45 Commissioner Hemminger made reference to recommendation #1 and said that the 46 representation shall remain the same parties and not necessarily the same people.
