He said Carrboro wants to make sure RENA is involved in the decisions, <br /> 14 and he said the resolution from Chapel Hill does not exclude RENA. <br /> 15 Commissioner Rich reviewed the verbiage regarding partnerships and said Orange <br /> 16 County would be negotiating with RENA or the Jackson Center. <br /> 17 Michael Talbert said yes and other parties also. <br /> 18 <br /> 19 VOTE to include Commissioner Gordon's amendment. <br /> 20 <br /> 21 Ayes, 3 (Commissioner McKee, Commissioner Gordon, Commissioner Rich); Nays, 4 (Chair <br /> 22 Jacobs, Commissioner Pelissier, Commissioner Price, Commissioner Dorosin). <br /> 23 <br /> 24 Motion fails <br /> 25 <br /> 26 Commissioner Gordon asked for a review of the motion. <br /> 27 Chair Jacobs reviewed the following motion: <br /> 28 <br /> 29 1.
