BOARD AND MANAGERS COMMENTS <br /> Chair Marshall pointed out on the back wall of the courtroom a picture <br /> of the USS Constitution which was presented to the County by Mary Ellen <br /> and Gerrard Priestley in celebration of the bicentennial. <br /> She announced that on 14 October at Culbreth Jr. High, a Joint Public <br /> Hearing will be held between Carrboro, Chapel Hill and Orange County on <br /> the Joint Planning Agreement. <br /> Chair Marshall indicated applications for the County Manager vacancy <br /> would be accepted as long as they are postmarked by September 30. One <br /> hundred twenty one applications have been received. A profile and list of <br /> general questions will be reviewed by the Board. She asked the members of <br /> the Board to do individual screening of those applications received and <br /> provide a list of candidates to Beverly Whitehead. <br /> Commissioner Carey stated that the reason the Rencher Street <br /> application was not approved by the State was that the local funds were <br /> not in an account that Raleigh considered to be local funds. This caused <br /> the application to lose points and not be accepted for funding. He <br /> recommended that the Administration come forward with a recommendation on <br /> when these funds should be moved to the appropriate account. <br /> Commissioner Hartwell asked that a discussion on the tax listing form <br /> be added to item G19. <br /> B.
