6 <br /> 1 Commissioner Dorosin said he withdrew from representation of RENA, and pursuant to <br /> 2 State Bar rules he is screened from that case. He does not consult with the attorneys on this <br /> 3 case because of the perceived conflicts of interest. He said he has personally recused himself <br /> 4 from attorney client discussions with the County attorney due to his past representation with <br /> 5 RENA. He said he has no more authority than the other Board members. <br /> 6 Commissioner Dorosin said he does not appreciate the implication that he is working <br /> 7 both sides of the fence. <br /> 8 Commissioner Rich said if the Board is asking the County attorney to provide more <br /> 9 information in order to bring this to an end, then the other side should do the same if things are <br /> 10 moving in the right direction. <br /> 11 Commissioner Price said the property values will go up; however the residents she has <br /> 12 talked with realize this, and it does not change their desire to have sewer. <br /> 13 Alderman Gist said she wanted to make sure people are not blind-sided. <br /> 14 Commissioner Price said one of the points of the task force's charge is to look at <br /> 15 gentrification, and this has not yet been done satisfactorily. She said this is an ongoing goal of <br /> 16 staff. <br /> 17 Alderman Lavelle summarized several points. She said she does think the County has <br /> 18 done a lot to move this forward, and the Board of Alderman has done many things for the <br /> 19 neighborhood. She said the Board of Aldermen support the greater plan and she wants the <br /> 20 Board to know that Carrboro is offering support. She said the Task Force has looked closely at <br /> 21 the Community Center as the figures are based on those preliminary numbers. <br /> 22 She said she understands the complexity of the attorney client situation. She said if any <br /> 23 of the actions in the letter are taken soon, she hopes it will move things forward. She said she <br /> 24 is hopeful that this EPA issue will be dismissed. She said the other key is to see where Chapel <br /> 25 Hill stands with all of this. <br /> 26 Alderman Slade said he would like to thank the county for moving forward with the <br /> 27 community center. He encouraged the Board not to passively accept the attorney's feedback <br /> 28 but to be active in pursuing what can be done. <br /> 29 He said it is now clear that the discussions can go forward. He said he hopes more <br /> 30 members of the commission can approach the UNC law center to ask for help. He feels that <br /> 31 there needs to be more push on having a discussion with the EPA to expedite this process. <br /> 32 Chair Jacobs expressed appreciation for the commitments that Carrboro has made. <br /> 33 He told Michael Talbert that it would be desirable to have the new plans from the <br /> 34 architect back before the Board adjourns for a break in 8 weeks. <br /> 35 Michael Talbert said Chapel Hill has to review the revised plans before bidding can begin. <br /> 36 <br /> 37 2. Chapel Hill ETJ Expansion Process <br /> 38 <br /> 39 Craig Benedict said the Chapel Hill Council recommended, in June, proceeding with a <br /> 40 process to expand their extra-territorial jurisdiction (ETJ), to include Rogers Road and other <br /> 41 areas. He said the Board responded on September 5 to encourage the Council to proceed with <br /> 42 this process. <br /> 43 He reviewed the timeline, as outlined in the abstract. He said Chapel Hill will be <br /> 44 proceeding with decisions in January of 2014, as well as rezoning properties in that area. He <br /> 45 said that this will not be problematic, as zoning was assigned as part of the joint planning area. <br /> 46 He said it is likely that much of the zoning will remain the same. <br /> 47 He said, once these determinations are made, this item will be forwarded to the Board for <br /> 48 action. He said if things go as planned, determinations to effectuate the expansion could be <br /> 49 made by March or April of next year. <br />
