11 <br /> DRAFT <br /> 54 Tony Blake: I'm interested in the additional representation because I think there are some very critical decisions <br /> 55 coming up in those areas. <br /> 56 <br /> 57 Andrea Rohrbacher: I am tending towards what Lisa said. I don't think we need the two seats. I think the one seat <br /> 58 would be adequate. <br /> 59 <br /> 60 Lydia Wegman: Paul wanted to speak so after he speaks we will go around and hear from everybody. <br /> 61 <br /> 62 Paul Guthrie: I personally don't think that one or two makes a lot of difference. I have lived in the ETJ for eleven <br /> 63 years and I have never had any communication on anything they are doing in that district. They do not communicate <br /> 64 at all so it seems to me that one of the issues is going well beyond what we are talking about. <br /> 65 <br /> 66 Lydia Wegman: So that sounds like something we will want to convey potentially to the Town of Chapel Hill. <br /> 67 <br /> 68 Perdita Holtz: It will be a part of the minutes and the BOCC reads those minutes and they might want to bring it up at <br /> 69 one of the joint meetings they have. <br /> 70 <br /> 71 Lydia Wegman: Okay so let's go around, Buddy you can start. <br /> 72 <br /> 73 Buddy Hartley: I'm okay with option B. <br /> 74 <br /> 75 Paul Guthrie: I think I've said about all I need to say. When it comes time to vote I'll support option B. I do think it's a <br /> 76 bigger issue than just this issue. <br /> 77 <br /> 78 James Lea:Are we up for a vote on this tonight? <br /> 79 <br /> 80 Lydia Wegman: I think we are supposed to make a recommendation to the BOCC in time for their December <br /> 81 meeting. <br /> 82 <br /> 83 James Lea: Based on what I have heard I think option B is a great option. <br /> 84 <br /> 85 Maxecine Mitchell: I had a personal experience when a decision was being made in my area and we left feeling that <br /> 86 we were not represented. We went to Carrboro and Chapel Hill and it seemed like they didn't really care. I can <br /> 87 understand where Paul is coming from. I would support option B. <br /> 88 <br /> 89 Lisa Stuckey: I am sticking with option A. I think one person for 6.7% is sufficient. <br /> 90 <br /> 91 Andrea Rohrbacher: I am going to stick with option A for the same reason. I would like to also ask that both the Board <br /> 92 of County Commissioners and the Town of Chapel Hill be more proactive in recruiting in these areas. <br /> 93 <br /> 94 Tony Blake: I'm going to go with option B from the same reasons I stated and exactly for the reasons Paul and <br /> 95 Maxecine said. <br /> 96 <br /> 97 Lydia Wegman: I can see the virtues of option B and I would support option B for the reasons that have been <br /> 98 previously stated. <br /> 99 <br /> 100 MOTION made by Tony Blake to recommend Option B to the County Commissioners. James Lea seconded. <br /> 101 VOTE: 6—2 (Lisa Stuckey and Andrea Rohrbacher opposed) <br /> 102 <br /> 103 <br /> 2 <br />
