Joint BOCC and Hillsborough Town Board Meeting: <br />At a February 27, 2014 Joint Meeting, the Boards received an update on the process and <br />outreach from staff and two questions were raised for discussion between the Boards: 1) Have <br />we achieved what we wanted to achieve? and 2) Does the full implementation of the Interlocal <br />Agreement achieve substantially more? Attachment 1 was included in the agenda material <br />packets for the joint meeting and summarizes the presentation that staff provided. Following <br />discussion between the boards, it was informally concluded that due to feedback received from <br />the public, changes in State annexation law, and achievement of the vision articulated by the <br />Agreement, both parties agreed to consider stopping ETJ expansion and formally consider a <br />joint resolution amending the Agreement to that effect. <br />Attachment 2 is a resolution for BOCC consideration amending the Hillsborough- Orange <br />Interlocal Land Management Agreement for the Central Orange Coordinated Area. As noted in <br />the following section, the Town Board will also be considering this resolution on May 12, 2014. <br />As additional background information, a link to the Interlocal Agreement, which is referenced in <br />the resolution, is provided following the summary of next steps below. <br />Attachment 3 provides copies of the notices that were mailed (week of April 7 — April 11) by <br />Town staff to all owners of property located in areas to be potentially affected by the Town's <br />ETJ adjustments, expansion and relinquishment. These are the same individuals that received <br />notice of the Joint Information Meeting conducted in January of this year. The purpose of the <br />notice was to serve as an update on the process and inform property owners of BOCC <br />consideration of the resolution at this meeting and subsequent Town Board consideration. <br />Summary of Next Steps: 2014 <br />Town considers joint resolution May 12 <br />Town hearing on ETJ ordinance <br />reflecting areas to be removed July 17 <br />Town adoption of ETJ ordinance <br />reflecting areas to be removed Sept. 8* <br />County hearing to apply Future Land Use <br />classifications and zoning to properties <br />removed from ETJ Sept. 8 <br />County Planning Board recommendation Oct. 1 <br />BOCC adoption of Future Land Use <br />classifications and zoning for properties <br />removed from ETJ Nov. 6 <br />*To become effective 10/01/14 <br />Orange County staff will also be coordinating with Town staff to discuss and develop draft <br />water and sewer utility and sidewalk maintenance agreements for future consideration by <br />the boards. Although this is not specifically related to the Interlocal Agreement, it is <br />pertinent and indicative of the ongoing joint planning work that is needed to ensure <br />
