2 <br />preparation of the Hillsborough Area-Orange County Strategic Growth Plan (SGP) Phase II. <br />The proposal suggests establishment of an Interlocal Agreement Committee (IAC) to guide and <br />review staffs and Clarion's work on the agreement. <br />An option for the IAC is to consider the former Strategic Growth Plan Phase I Steering <br />Committee and/or recruiting a cross-section of members from that group with 2 additional at- <br />large to form the IAC. An IAC composed of members already familiar with the SGP process <br />should result in less start-up time - a distinct advantage given the Interlocal Agreement is <br />targeted for the May 19 Quarterly Public Hearing. <br />Phase I included a steering committee which led to its success. Commissioner Jacobs was on <br />the original committee. <br />The Orange County component of a Phase 2 steering committee could include: <br />Orange County SGP Phase 11 Steering Committee <br />1. Board of Count Commissioners Representative <br />2. Orange Count Planning Board Representative <br />3. Economic Development Commission Representative <br />4. Commission for the Environment Representative <br />5. At-large <br />6. ETJ or At-large <br />This phase since it includes an important focus on the peripheral area around Hillsborough <br />(i.e the urban fringe and coordinated planning area in the `middle' Eno watershed) would <br />include 2 additional at-large or ETJ members. <br />The Town of Hillsborough is considering 6 or less appointments also. <br />Consideration of 6 appointments to this Orange County component of the IAC could occur on <br />March 6, 2008. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: No additional costs over those already budgeted for Phase II consultant <br />work. Staffing of the committee would be handled by the existing planning staff of Orange <br />County and Town of Hillsborough. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board establish the IAC with 6 <br />representative position slots, as noted above, from Orange County for the Strategic Growth Plan <br />Phase 11 and ask the clerk to advertise and/or notify advisory boards for possible appointments.
