77 <br />Obiective CR -10: <br />Establish a dialogue with the other jurisdictions in and adjacent to Orange County to <br />address cultural resources in areas with or without designated Historic <br />Preservation /District Commissions. <br />• The HPC and DEAPR staff collaborated with the Town of Hillsborough to <br />develop a joint County/Town policy to better coordinate the mapping and <br />sharing of information regarding cultural resources within the municipal limits <br />of the Town. This policy was adopted by the BOCC in 2014. <br />• The HPC chair and staff met with the Hillsborough Historic District <br />Commission to invite Hillsborough to partner with the County in the project to <br />produce a publication on the County's historic resources, with a goal of <br />sharing funding and increasing future sales of the finished book (2014). <br />• The HPC continued work on the matter of handling the designation of Local <br />Historic Landmarks within the boundaries of the Town's ETJ. To further this <br />goal, DEAPR staff and Town planning staff will prepare a draft interlocal <br />agreement that would extend the County's Local Landmark program into the <br />Town of Hillsborough's ETJ, to be presented for consideration by both boards <br />in 2015. <br />Identify any activities this commission expects to carry out in 2015 as they relate <br />to established BOCC goals and priorities. If applicable, is there a fiscal impact <br />(i.e., funding, staff time, other resources) associated with these proposed <br />activities (please list). <br />• The HPC will seek a second federal grant through the State Historic <br />Preservation Office to fund a project to update the county -wide historic <br />resources inventory to include additional sites (African- American, <br />agricultural /farm heritage sites and post -World War II resources), to follow up <br />the first phase started in 2014. This will fund the second phase of a three -year <br />project to produce a comprehensive book/publication documenting the <br />county's historic resources (Fiscal impact: HPC will request $15,000 in <br />County funds to secure a $20,000 matching grant in 2015; HPC staff will <br />provide project support) <br />The HPC will continue working with the Hillsborough Planning Staff and the <br />County Attorney on an approach for the handling the further identification and <br />protection of historic resources in the Town's extra- territorial jurisdiction (No <br />fiscal impact) <br />• The HPC will increase efforts to promote the Local Historic Landmark <br />program to eligible property owners, working in cooperation with the Lands <br />Legacy Program, to generate at least two new landmark applications per year <br />(No fiscal impact—funding already budgeted for this in the Lands <br />Legacy program funding) <br />
