its "funding request" portion of the legislative package. Those two items, a funding request for <br />an Orange County Heritage Center and a request for a designated funding source for local <br />governments to access to provide for alternative modes of transportation, have been added to <br />the attached proposed legislative agenda document. The Board also determined that it wanted <br />to hold a public hearing on the proposed 2007 legislative agenda during tonight's regular <br />meeting (see attached public hearing notice which was published in four different papers). <br />The General Assembly convened on Wednesday January 24, 2007, and the BOCC met with <br />Orange County's legislative delegation on February 5, 2007 to initially discuss the proposed <br />items. <br />The Board will need to hold the public hearing and review and potentially approve these and <br />any other items as may be discussed for the 2007 North Carolina General Assembly Session. <br />It should be noted that the work of the Legislative Issues Work Group to this point is based on <br />the current information available for the 2007 General Assembly Session. The issues <br />addressed by the Group may evolve and change over the session and require additional <br />attention by the Group and Board of Commissioners. New issues may also arise necessitating <br />additional review. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact with holding a public hearing other than the <br />newspaper advertisement costs which will be addressed within the approved fiscal year budget. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board hold a public hearing and <br />further review, discuss, and approve potential items for inclusion in Orange County's legislative <br />agenda package for the 2007 North Carolina General Assembly Session.
