1 ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS Action Agenda ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Item No. Meeting Date: FEBRUARY 15, 1994 SUBJECT: APPLICATION SUPPLEMENT FOR THE ORANGE COUNTY PLANNING BOARD --------------------------------- ---------------------------------- DEPARTMENT: COUNTY COMMISSIONERS PUBLIC HEARING YES: NO: X --------------------------------- ---------------------------------- ATTACHMENT(S) : YES-APPLICATION INFORMATION CONTACT: ALICE M. GORDON SUPPLEMENT TELEPHONE NUMBER - Hillsborough - 732-8181 Chapel Hill - 968-5401 Durham - 688-7331 Mebane - 227-2031 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- PURPOSE: Since the Orange County Planning Board plays such a vital role in Orange County, it would be desirable to ask planning board applicants for additional information similar to that asked of those who are interested in serving on the OWASA Board. Municipal planning boards also play important roles. The Application Supplement is designed to obtain that information. BACKGROUND: Some time ago the Board of Commissioners (BOCC) began using an Application Supplement for OWASA Board applicants so that the BOCC could make more fully informed decisions on those appointments. It seems appropriate to take the same step for planning boards since they advise the BOCC, or elected officials of municipal governments on crucial land use decisions. In particular, the Orange County Planning Board is more involved than ever in making recommendations on complicated issues that are important to all citizens of orange County. RECOMMENDATION(S) : To approve the application supplement as attached for citizens who are interested in serving on the Orange County Planning Board or on one of the municipal planning boards as an Orange County appointee.
