176 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> Action A w <br /> Item No. 6/ <br /> ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date: FEBRUARY 16, 1988 <br /> SUBJECT: PROS AND CONS OF OWASA BECOMING MORE INVOLVED IN THE OWNERSHIP <br /> AND OPERATION OF SMALL COMMUNITY SYSTEMS <br /> DEPARTMENT: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS PUBLIC HEARING: Yes X No <br /> ATTACHMENT(S) : INFORMATION CONTACT: <br /> SHIRL MARSHALL, X505 <br /> NONE TELEPHONE NUMBER: <br /> Hillsborough - 732-8181 <br /> Chapel Hill - 968-4501 <br /> Mebane - 227-2031 <br /> Durham - 688-7331 <br /> BACKGROUND: OWASA requested that Orange County convene a group to study <br /> the pros and cons of OWASA becoming more involved in the <br /> ownership and operation of small community systems. The Board <br /> agreed to do so if OWASA would provide the technical assis- <br /> tance. <br /> Mayors Howes, Kinnaird and I have discussed the issue and feel <br /> that this is, finally, a decision that belongs with the OWASA <br /> Board. We suggest that the technical administrators meet with <br /> the Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Orange County Planning Board <br /> Chairs and Planning Directors to define the pros as well as <br /> the cons and to make recommendations back to the Water Subcom- <br /> mittee of the newly proposed General Assembly of Orange County <br /> elected officials if approved and constituted. Otherwise, the <br /> report should be to the several jurisdictions. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S) : <br /> Approve. <br />
