The Town of Chapel Hill appropriated$90,549 and the Town of Carrboro appropriated <br /> $29,524 in the Fiscal 201312014, for a New Rogers Road Community Center. <br /> 4.

The Council also asked that the Manager <br /> continue discussion of a possible Utility District with local jurisdictions. <br /> RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br /> September 17, 2013 <br /> 1. That that the Cost associated with the Community Center and Sewer Improvements will be <br /> shared 14% Carrboro, 43% Chapel Hill and 43% Orange County. <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 parcels. <br /> Funding is recommended to be included in the Fiscal 2014/2015 Budgets, with the remaining <br /> 19 parcels to be constructed in the second phase and included in the Fiscal 2015/2016 <br /> 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 Carrboro, <br /> to equally share the costs of the Community Center and Sewer Improvements in proportion to <br /> their responsibilities. If either the Orange County Board of Commissioners or the Chapel Hill <br /> Town Council do not favor the original Sewer Concept Plan presented by OWASA in 2012 or <br /> cannot agree on the concept of an ETJ for the Historic Rogers Road Neighborhood, the Sewer <br /> Concept Plan presented by OWASA in 2012 including only segments 5, 6, and 8 to serve 67 <br /> parcels at an estimated cost of$3.7 million should be 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 Task Force requests that the Managers explore the collaborative approach to the <br /> Historic Rogers Road Neighborhood as outlined in February 25, 2013 memo to Elected <br /> Officials and report back to the Task Force on August 21, 2013. <br /> 6. 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 also <br /> cost of connections to homeowners and the Task Force recommends that the County and <br />
