Commissioner porosin said the County put out an announcement today, based on the <br /> advice of the attorney, concerning the EPA investigation with Rogers Road and stating that the <br /> County can now move forward with improvements to the Rogers Road Community. <br /> Commissioner porosin petitioned the Board to reach out to their partners directly and <br /> inform them of this change as well as the County's continued commitment to the <br /> improvements. He suggested that this be done expeditiously, as there is an upcoming <br /> meeting regarding Chapel Hill's extension of the Extra Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) to the <br /> Rogers Road area. He asked that the manager or the Chair reach out to the town. <br /> Commissioner porosin said several months ago he made a petition about a gun buy- <br /> back program and he asked about the status of this. <br /> Chair Jacobs said this was referred to the county attorney, and he may have referred it <br /> to the sheriff. He said this will be revisited at the next agenda review. <br /> Chair Jacobs said when he was at the National Association of County's Convention, <br /> there was a booth from the NC Solar Center, now called the North Carolina Clean Energy <br /> Technology Center. He said there is a program in the city of Raleigh that involves the practical <br /> application of solar technology to all of their buildings. He would like to petition County staff to <br /> see if the clean energy staff can come to Hillsborough for a discussion. He said he is in favor <br /> of getting the County off the grid and using more natural technology. <br /> 4. Proclamations/ Resolutions/ Special Presentations <br /> a.
