2 <br />the present Old Courthouse and the Town Clock. The second sign will tell the story of the now - <br />vanished African - American community that once existed on the River Park property. <br />The installation of the two signs will require the digging of four post holes in areas of River Park <br />that have the potential to contain valuable archaeological information. The holes will be dug by <br />hand and will measure approximately 6" in diameter by 30" deep. The Town and County have <br />coordinated and reviewed this proposed work in accordance with the terms of the recently - <br />signed "Memorandum of Agreement for the Preservation of Cultural Resources" between the <br />Town and County. Local archaeologist Steve Rankin, a member of the sign committee, has <br />volunteered to be on -site to monitor the digging process and document any findings with notes <br />and photographs. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with approval of the easement for <br />installation of the two signs. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve and authorize <br />the Chair to sign the proposed easement document once it has been signed by the Town of <br />Hillsborough. <br />
