Chair McKee said the Stanford Middle School students originally wanted to make their <br /> presentation to the Board of Commissioners, and he had encouraged them to make their <br /> presentations to the Veterans' Memorial Committee directly. <br /> Chair McKee asked if the Chapel Hill Town Council is being closely communicated <br /> with, as they have already approved the site in the cemetery. He said the project should be a <br /> unified one between the two entities. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Price to add a friendly amendment to ensure <br /> that Orange County works jointly with Chapel Hill. <br /> Commissioner Rich said she thought this was already part of the motion. <br /> Jeff Thompson said the guidelines in the SUP are limited; simply following a set of <br /> guidelines that are published. He said the ownership, the operations agreement, and the <br /> design of the Memorial would be under the approval of the Board. He said, with the friendly <br /> amendment, Chapel Hill would have the ability to approve alongside the Board. <br /> Commissioner Price said she would like to have some of the approvals done jointly <br /> with the Town of Chapel Hill, as the Town has already put in so much effort. She said the <br /> abstract seemed to read that the Memorial is an Orange County project, and she wanted to <br /> see it as a joint effort with the Town of Chapel Hill. <br /> Bruce Runberg said the Veterans' Memorial Committee also sent a letter to the <br /> Chapel Hill Mayor and the Chapel Hill Town Council; and that the Committee would coordinate <br /> with Orange County and with the Town of Chapel Hill through this process. He said he does <br /> not anticipate any problems. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said under recommendation # 2, they could add the statement <br /> "to continue coordination with the Town of Chapel Hill." <br /> Both Commissioners Price and Jacobs agreed to the friendly amendment. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 8.
