33 <br />1 Mayor Foy said that there should be acknowledgement and everything should be written <br />2 down so that OWASA has a clear understanding of each entity's intentions. <br />3 Mark Chilton said that if you read through all of the resolution there is only a passing <br />4 mention of land usage and conservation. He said that he does not see the local government <br />5 entities passing a resolution that speaks to the question of water supply without addressing <br />6 conservation and efficiency as a simple part of the water supply plan. <br />7 Chair Jacobs listed the elements that he has heard: whatever direction that is given to <br />8 OWASA be written; address the issue of emergency access to Jordan Lake; <br />9 compilation/discussion of current conservation efforts; and Chatham County would like some <br />1o kind of answer this summer in order to move fonivard. He said that, in listening to the last part of <br />i i the conversation, it might be useful for the boards in Orange County to draft an alternative <br />12 resolution that addresses the same partnership, but in terms that make people feel more <br />13 comfortable about a partnership. <br />14 Ted Voorhees, Deputy City Manager of Durham, said that he was the author of the <br />is resolution. He said that it was Durham's intention to call out the fact that responsible land use <br />16 planning will be an integral part. He apologized for not saying this well. He thinks that the City <br />17 Council fully understood the relationship between land use planning and water demand. He <br />18 said that Durham has been doing water conservation for a long time. <br />19 Clarifying questions of various board members were answered by Ted Voorhees. <br />20 <br />21 3Z Buckhorn Village <br />22 Craig Benedict said that Buckhorn Village is a planned development zoning proposal that <br />23 was submitted to Orange County fora 130-acre parcel located on I-85/I-40.

All must bring forward some funding to <br />35 the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund if they are going to access this property. <br />36 Commissioner Carey suggested that staff make a list of issues that need to be discussed <br />37 at this next meeting so that there is a clear focus of discussion. <br />38 Commissioner Gordon suggested that each jurisdiction may want to discuss the Greene <br />39 Tract ahead of time. <br />4o The next meeting will be hosted by the Town of Hillsborough. <br />41 <br />42 ~ Greene Tract Update <br />43 <br />44 DEFERRED <br />45 <br />46 5j Update on the 2035 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) <br />47 <br />48 DEFERRED <br />49 <br />50 ~ Written Updates (No Staff Presentations) <br />51 <br />
