062 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> Action A is <br /> Item No.( <br /> ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date: FEBRUARY 16, 1988 <br /> SUBJECT: INTERGOVERNMENTAL COMMITTEE <br /> DEPARTMENT: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS PUBLIC HEARING: Yes X No <br /> ATTACHMENT(S) : INFORMATION CONTACT: <br /> SHIRL MARSHALL, X505 <br /> TELEPHONE NUMBER: <br /> NONE Hillsborough - 732-8181 <br /> Chapel Hill - 968-4501 <br /> Mebane - 227-2031 <br /> Durham - 688-7331 <br /> PURPOSE: To discuss an Orange County intergovernmental process to <br /> replace the "gang-of-eight" model. <br /> BACKGROUND: The Carrboro elected officials at their recent retreat dis- <br /> cussed a workable model. From their decisions, Mayor <br /> Kinnaird, Mayor Howes and the County Chair recommend that we <br /> constitute a "committee-of-the-whole" of all elected officials <br /> in Orange County to be known as a General Assembly. <br /> The General Assembly would meet no more than quarterly but at <br /> least semi-annually. <br /> Permanent sub-committees of elected officials would be formed <br /> around specific broad subjects with representatives being <br /> chosen by expertise and interest. <br /> It is suggested that the first two subcommittees to be formed <br /> would be on (1) water, and (2) impact fees. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S) : <br /> Approve. <br />
