Orange County's part in' the joint venture was limited <br /> principally to acquiring title to necessary sewer easements and <br /> using its general obligation bonds to, in . part, finance the <br /> construction of the water and sewer system. The agreement between <br /> Orange County and Mebane and the judgment of the court resolving <br /> the meaning of the agreement provides for the transfer of all <br /> Orange County's interest in the water and sewer system upon the <br /> repayment by Mebane- of 'the. bond obligation. As stated in the <br /> February 10, 1993 letter -from John Link to Robert Wilson, Mebane <br /> repaid the bond obligation on November 13, 1992. <br /> All that is left for Orange County to do is to document the <br /> transfer of easements as .requested from Mebane from time to time. <br /> The easement which is enclosed relates to a particular tract of <br /> land. As I understand it, the property owners whose property is <br /> crossed by this easement have negotiated with. Mebane to move the <br /> easement. Mebane has agreed. However, first the easement must be <br /> conveyed from the .County .to Mebane so that. Mebane can accomplish <br /> the relocation. Everything is. in order for the transfer of this <br /> easement from Orange County- to the City of Mebane. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: The -County Manager and the County Attorney <br /> recommend that the Board authorize the County to convey the <br /> easement in question to the City' of Mebane and authorize the Chair <br /> and the Clerk to the Board to execute the deed of easement which is <br /> an attachment to this agenda abstract. <br /> • <br />
