That the county petition the Town of Chapel Hill to annex all County Owned Property <br /> in the Historic Rogers Road Neighborhood. <br /> 5. That the Task Force requests that the Managers explore the collaborative approach <br /> to the Historic Rogers Road Neighborhood as outlined in February 25, 2013 Memo to <br /> Elected Officials (Appendix C) and report back to the Task Force on August 21, <br /> 2013. <br /> 6. That the Managers meet and talk about the options related to connecting the <br /> residents of the Historic Rogers Road Neighborhood to sewer. <br /> 7. That funding is identified for the cost of connecting from the OWASA infrastructure to <br /> the home in addition to applying for grants for low-to-moderate income persons.
