' <br /> .. . . <br /> NEED: The Town of Hillsborough has employed an individual.nart-time for the __ <br /> 1 purpose of providing planning assistance. The present employee recently submitted <br /> her resignation and the Town Board began deliberations whether to hire a part-time <br /> staff person or continue its present arrangement of a part-time position. A <br /> Town Board member suggested that Orange County be contacted to determine if <br /> planning assistance could be provided through the Planning Department. <br /> Upon authorization, and after discussion between the Manager and Vice Chair, <br /> the Planning Director presented a proposal to The Hillsborough Town Board <br /> on May 22, 1985. The proposal involved the hiring of a Planner I for the <br /> Planning Department and providing planning assistance to Hillsborough for a <br /> period not to exceed 21.5 hours per week. Funding for the position would be <br /> provided by the Town ($12,500) and the County ($11,000). ' . . <br /> The Town Board took the proposal under advisement and on May 29, 1985 voted <br /> I <br /> unanimously to enter into an agreement with. the County for such services if the <br /> Board of Commissioners would likewise give its approval. The major points of <br /> the proposal including advantages and time requirements are outlined in the <br /> attached correspondence from the Planning Director. Such an agreement would be <br /> on a one year basis with the option to renew. For the arrangement to be effective <br /> time sheets would be maintained to confine work for the Town to the hours <br /> contracted. <br /> IMPACT: Approval of the proposal would provide for better planning and zoning coordination <br /> between the County and the Town of Hillsborough. The County's share ($11,000) <br /> has been recommended as part of the Planning Department 's 1985-86 budget. If <br /> the Board feels that potential disadvantages would outweigh advantages,' the half <br /> time salary would be utilized for part-time planning interns. <br />
