2 <br /> 1 property, perhaps Southern Human Services Center, Mil!house Road Park property, or the Twin <br /> 2 Creeks property. He said he has informed the manager, and some of the recreation staff will <br /> 3 be in attendance. He said this is in the beginning stages, and he hoped to have a <br /> 4 recommendation by June. <br /> 5 Commissioner Jacobs said he wanted to make a clarification regarding an information <br /> 6 item in their agenda packet. He said the first item was "Review and consider a request that the <br /> 7 County consult with Mebane regarding a proposed Orange/Alamance line change that would <br /> 8 place the remaining part of Mill Creek subdivision in Orange County." He said the corollary to <br /> 9 this would be "and place the Morrow Mountain community back in Orange County." He said the <br /> 10 Board should direct the Manager to make this part of her discussion. <br /> 11 Commissioner Price referred to the information item regarding the Town of Hillsborough <br /> 12 and Faucette Lane and the process of providing County property to affordable housing. She <br /> 13 noted that the Board had asked staff to come up with some sort of protocol for dealing with this <br /> 14 for other properties in the future. <br /> 15 Commissioner Price said the NC Association of County Commissioners (NCACC) held a <br /> 16 strategic planning meeting in Orange County earlier this month at Southern Human Services <br /> 17 Center, and it was a tight fit, but it went well. <br /> 18 Commissioner Price said this is National Social Workers Month, and she said it is <br /> 19 important that the County acknowledge the great staff and employees at the Department of <br /> 20 Social Services (DSS). <br /> 21 Commissioner Pelissier said there will be a public information session on the Durham- <br /> 22 Orange Light Rail proposal on March 18th at the Friday Center. <br /> 23 Commissioner Rich noted that she is not in favor of giving the Orange County portion of <br /> 24 Mill Creek to Alamance County. <br /> 25 Commissioner Rich said she went out on Friday with Commissioner Dorosin to survey <br /> 26 zone 6 for the Family Success Alliance. She said there will be a group discussing this alliance <br /> 27 on March 26th at Hargraves. She said surveys will be back on April 1st, and this information <br /> 28 will be presented at Carrboro Elementary. <br /> 29 Commissioner Dorosin said he had a petition that he would like the Board to act on. He <br /> 30 had emailed this to the full Board ahead of time, and said time is of the essence. He said there <br /> 31 was some legislation passed in the Senate last week, and it is on the way to the House for a <br /> 32 vote. He said this legislation will allow certain state officials to avoid having to fulfill statutory <br /> 33 obligations to provide marriage licenses to same sex couples. He petitioned the Board to adopt <br /> 34 the resolution he had prepared to declare their opposition to this legislation. <br /> 35 Commissioner Dorosin read the following resolution: <br /> 36 <br /> 37 WHEREAS, Orange County, North Carolina, is a community dedicated to the principles of <br /> 38 equality, non-discrimination, and full inclusion and engagement by any resident in the civil <br /> 39 rights, benefits and privileges of all residents; and <br /> 40 <br /> 41 WHEREAS, legal rulings by the U.S. Supreme Court and the U.S. Court of Appeals have <br /> 42 determined that the denial of equal rights for same-sex residents of North Carolina is <br /> 43 unconstitutional, and that those residents have the right to marry; and <br /> 44 <br /> 45 WHEREAS, in the wake of these rulings, the North Carolina Administrative Office of the Courts, <br /> 46 has determined that the state's judicial magistrates, who are bound by their oath of office to <br /> 47 "support the Constitution of the United States," cannot deny any same sex couple their <br /> 48 constitutional rights to due process and equal protection by refusing such couples the right to <br /> 49 marry; and <br /> 50 <br />
