0 <br />2. That the Sewer Concept Plan presented by OWASA in 2012 to serve 86 parcels at an <br />estimated cost of $5.8 million should be funded by Carrboro, Chapel Hill, and Orange <br />County in proportion to the recommended cost sharing. The first phase of the construction <br />should include segments 5, 6, and 8 at an estimated cost of $3.7 million, serving 67 <br />parcels. Funding recommended to be included in the Fiscal 2014/2015 Budgets, with the <br />remaining 19 parcels to be constructed in the second phase and included in the Fiscal <br />2015/2016 Budgets <br />3. That the Task Force prefers the original Sewer Concept Plan presented by OWASA in 2012 <br />to serve 86 parcels at an estimated cost of $5.8 million. First this concept will provide sewer <br />improvements to the entire Historic Rogers Road Neighborhood, secondly, this proposal will <br />enable all of the partners, Orange County, the Town of Chapel Hill, and The Town of <br />Carrboro, to equally share the costs of the Community Center and Sewer Improvements in <br />proportion to their responsibilities. If either the Orange County Board of Commissioners or <br />the Chapel Hill Town Council do not favor the original Sewer Concept Plan presented by <br />OWASA in 2012 or cannot agree on the concept of an ETJ for the Historic Rogers Road <br />Neighborhood, the Sewer Concept Plan presented by OWASA in 2012 including only <br />segments 5, 6, and 8 to serve 67 parcels at an estimated cost of $3.7 million should be <br />funded. <br />4. That the County petition the Town of Chapel Hill to annex all County Owned Property in the <br />Historic Rogers Road Neighborhood. <br />5.

That the Managers meet and talk about the options related to connecting the residents of <br />the Historic Rogers Road Neighborhood to sewer. <br />7. That funding is identified for the cost of connecting from the OWASA infrastructure to the <br />home in addition to applying for grants for low -to- moderate income persons. It is a priority of <br />the Task Force to identify funding not only for the installation of sewer infrastructure but <br />also cost of connections to homeowners and the Task Force recommends that the County <br />and Towns set up a fund specifically for people in the Historic Rogers Road Neighborhood <br />and to fund the cost of the connections from the home to the main. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The financial impact of funding improvements in the Historic Rogers Road <br />Community is uncertain until direction if provided by the Board. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board receive the presentation, <br />review and discuss the recommendations in the Report from the Historic Rogers Road <br />Neighborhood Task Force in preparation for the November 21, 2013 Assembly of Governments <br />Meeting. <br />
