They would like to get <br /> part of it underway, but they do not know what has been out there in the landfill, <br /> and there needs to be some remediation. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said that the boards could adopt an MOU and start <br /> working on co-locating there and then start building on parts that are definitely <br /> safe. <br /> b) Potential Cates Creek Corridor(Orange County ERCD) <br /> Rich Shaw said that the ERCD has been asked about possible conservation and <br /> recreational trail opportunities for this area through the Lands Legacy program. <br /> He showed the property on a map. <br /> Mark Sheridan said that we will need more space like this as Hillsborough gets <br /> busier- (and if you go to the end of Millstone Road off of Old 86 and walk behind <br /> OCIM- it is beautiful) and it would make for a nice joint planning project. <br /> Chair Brown asked the staff how to proceed on this and to share information with <br /> the Town of Hillsborough. <br /> c) Justice Facilities — Next Steps (Orange County Purchasing) <br /> Purchasing Director Pam Jones reviewed the committees that are to be <br /> appointed but the County has had to put plans on hold because of funding <br /> constraints and now with the new financial MUNIS system being installed and <br /> implemented.

These lights are also tied into an <br /> electronic system to monitor traffic flow. This will allow DOT to be able to adjust <br /> the lights seasonally, or as traffic patterns dictate. But there are limitations on <br /> this road. He suggested that we all give the system time to be fine tuned as DOT <br /> gathers information from the system in order to help the traffic in this area flow <br /> more smoothly. <br /> f) Hazard Mitigation Program (Orange County Planning) <br /> Craig Benedict said that Orange County has worked with Hillsborough and <br /> Carrboro on a cooperative Hazard Mitigation plan that was submitted to the <br />
