Commissioner Rich said there were discussions with the Town of Chapel Hill regarding <br /> the Ephesus Fordham project and asked if that fits into this part of the CIP. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said the Ephesus Fordham project would be an eligible use of <br /> Article 46 funds as it is Economic Development. She said the Town of Chapel Hill was <br /> requested to show data from the performance evaluation. <br /> Commissioner Rich asked if the performance evaluation will be available before the <br /> end of the 2015-2016 fiscal year. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said no, the evaluation will come after the development is <br /> performing. <br /> Chair McKee asked if the Carrboro sewer project received Article 46 funds. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said yes for Roberson Street. <br /> Commissioner Rich said that was a project in the past and she is thinking about the <br /> future. <br /> Chair McKee said that is correct and acknowledged funds have been used as needs <br /> have arisen. <br /> Craig Benedict said certain amounts of money are pay as you go funds which can be <br /> used on a case by case basis. <br /> Chair McKee asked if the water/sewer infrastructure coming out of Durham is smaller, <br /> and if it is only coming down Route 70. <br /> Craig Benedict said it would parallel I-85, in the far northeast quadrant, north of Route <br /> 70 and up to I-85. He said a consultant, hired by both Durham and Orange Counties, has <br /> shown the overall system is too much for Durham to handle. He said Orange County is <br /> seeking to avoid overloading Durham's system with any sewers that are sent there. <br /> Craig Benedict said there is a 13 acre proposal adjacent to Durham that will hopefully <br /> allow a gravity system into Durham without a lift station. <br /> Chair McKee said the properties that front to the southern side of Route 70 are in need <br /> of repairs and upgrades. He asked if these properties are outside of the service area for this <br /> sewer. <br /> Craig Benedict said these properties would most likely be outside this service area. He <br /> said a gravity system cannot work on that side of Route 70. He said a mobile home park in the <br /> area has an emergency sewer line into Durham. <br /> Chair McKee said he is referencing the businesses directly across from the old Skyland <br /> Inn. He said there should be effort made to include these businesses even if it is at the <br /> County's expense as they are prime properties. <br /> Craig Benedict said the process thus far has looked at this quadrant of land. He said <br /> problems arose on the Durham City side with the risk of over capacity. He said the original <br /> proposal showed the need for a 3-mile forced main costing about $5 million, to go into <br /> Durham, bypassing the over capacity gravity lines. He said there is a master plan and it is <br /> hoped that Durham will start making improvements near the Orange County border. <br /> Chair McKee said if large amounts of money are going to be spent it should be insured <br /> that the return is effective. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs asked if the County assesses once the lines are put in. <br /> Craig Benedict said the Durham agreement is a bit different than the one with City of <br /> Mebane. He said when development comes in there is a frontage charge which goes towards <br /> paying down the debt incurred by Orange County for work done in the ground. <br /> Commissioner Rich said she wanted to bring the discussion back to how the southern <br /> part of the County gets economic development funding. She asked if the process for Towns <br /> requesting money could be explained. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said these funds are open to the entire County and as projects <br /> come forward, it is the Board's decision where the funding is used. <br />
