The Commissioners are proposing three pieces of <br /> local legislation: <br /> 1) A bill that would enable the County to acquire and make available <br /> property for use by a school district, and thus acquire or construct <br /> school facilities through installment purchase arrangements. <br /> 2) Addition of Orange County to a list of jurisdictions authorized by <br /> existing State legislation to sell products from the County' s <br /> computerized Geographic Information System (GIS) to the public at <br /> reasonable cost - with the stipulation that purchasers of such data may <br /> not resell the data or use it for trade or commercial purposes. <br /> 3) A bill that would make it unnecessary for the Board of Commissioners <br /> to approve pyrotechnic displays sanctioned by the University of North <br /> Carolina that are conducted on University property. <br /> The public hearing is intended to provide the Orange County legislative <br /> delegation to the North Carolina General Assembly with an indication of <br /> the degree of support or opposition there may be to any particular <br /> piece of legislation. The County will report to Orange County <br /> legislators concerning the results of the public hearing in <br /> conjunction with submission of the proposed legislation. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends that the Board conduct the <br /> public hearing. <br />
