7 <br /> 1 Chair McKee asked if the $250,000 for the conservation easements was the County's <br /> 2 share. <br /> 3 Bonnie Hammersley said previously the total for the County and the State combined <br /> 4 was $250,000. She said this is an increase, which when combined with the State matching <br /> 5 funds will total $500,000. <br /> 6 Chair McKee said he spoke with several of the affordable housing providers. He <br /> 7 encouraged the County staff to work with Chapel Hill, Hillsborough, Carrboro and Mebane <br /> 8 moving forward in order to create an overarching plan as opposed to working in silence. <br /> 9 Bonnie Hammersley said she met with the Housing Director about a strategy and staff <br /> 10 will go out to meet with all of the providers and comprise the information going forward. She <br /> 11 said a report will be brought back to the Board, likely in September. <br /> 12 Commissioner Jacobs said part of the impetus for doing this is to provide a fall back for <br /> 13 those who live in mobile homes. He said there is little known about the mobile home <br /> 14 developments and their needs. <br /> 15 Bonnie Hammersley said doing a survey to gather such information is part of the plan. <br /> 16 Commissioner Jacobs said despite all the good work of the affordable housing <br /> 17 providers, most do not address mobile homes. He said the County needs to bring up the issue <br /> 18 of mobile homes with all groups and providers. <br /> 19 Chair McKee said that mobile homes were part of his discussion and there should be <br /> 20 some creative, out of the box thinking, in regards to affordable housing. <br /> 21 Commissioner Dorosin said to be realistic there will not be any new manufactured <br /> 22 housing developed in Chapel Hill or Carrboro. <br /> 23 Chair McKee said the concern is for the residents of mobile homes and should the <br /> 24 owner of the land be offered a buyout, would this leave the residents without anywhere to go. <br /> 25 <br /> 26 Bonnie Hammersley continued her PowerPoint presentation: <br /> 27 <br /> 28 Recommended CIP FUNDING <br /> 29 • Special Revenue Projects <br /> 30 o Article 46 Sales Tax <br /> 31 ■ Economic Development <br /> 32 ■ Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools (CHCCS) <br /> 33 ■ Orange County Schools (OCS) <br /> 34 <br /> 35 Recommended CIP FUNDING <br /> 36 • Proprietary Capital Projects <br /> 37 o Water and Sewer Utilities <br /> 38 ■ Efland Sewer flow to Mebane <br /> 39 ■ Utility Extension Projects <br /> 40 ■ Hillsborough EDD <br /> 41 ■ Eno EDD <br /> 42 <br /> 43 o Solid Waste <br /> 44 <br /> 45 Recycling Operation <br /> 46 <br /> 47 o Sportsplex <br /> 48 Major Expansion Phase 2&3 <br /> 49 <br /> 50 Recommended CIP FUNDING <br />
