16 1 address the concerns of the Rogers Road Community. He said he understands Commissioner Gordon's 2 point, and the concerns can be voiced in the letter without any requests that may slow down the process. 3 Chair Jacobs offered the following new verbiage: "The BOCC expresses no objection to Chapel 4 Hill's ETJ expansion process, although it may request additional discussion of the effects on the Joint 5 Planning Agreement as the process moves forward." 6 Commissioner Pelissier seconded this suggestion. 7 Commissioner Dorosin said this is about the Rogers Road community. He said the task force has 8 done a great job in bringing the parties together and creating momentum. He encouraged the Board to be 9 conscious about the signals being sent forth about the County's commitment to the process. He noted that 10 there have been signals sent in past sessions that give question to the County's commitment. He said he 11 feels the Board is committed, but being a drag on the process hurts the Commissioner's credibility. 12 Chair Jacobs said he does not believe anyone disagrees with Commissioner Dorosin. He noted that 13 there was a lot of effort in the past to put the JPA together; however he does not want the Board to be an 14 impediment to this process either. He feels like there should be a passive assertion regarding changes that 15 affect the agreement. 16 Commissioner Gordon said that, even to serve a good purpose, the Board should not overlook 17 implications for the Joint Planning Agreement. 18 19 A motion was made by Chair Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Pelissier to approve consent of 20 the request from the Town of Chapel Hill for the Town to begin the process to expand its extraterritorial 21 jurisdiction (ETJ), with the following addition of verbiage: "The BOCC expresses no objection to Chapel 22 Hill's ETJ expansion process, although it may request additional discussion of the effects on the Joint 23 Planning Agreement as the process moves forward." 24 VOTE: UNANIMOUS 25 26 a.
