Chapel Hill Town Hall Study Committee <br /> The Board considered authorizing participation in a Town of Chapel Hill committee to <br /> consider the use of Historic Town Hall as a visitor and history center and appoint a <br /> Commissioner representative to represent the County on this Committee. <br /> Travis Myren presented the following background: <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> On October 26, 2016, the Chapel Hill Town Council created a committee to explore the use of <br /> the Town's former Town Hall building for use as visitor and history center. Although this topic <br /> has been discussed in general by the Board of Orange County Commissioners, no formal <br /> action has been taken to include the potential relocation of the Visitor's Bureau as part of <br /> future planning for the Historic Town Hall facility. This abstract would authorize the inclusion of <br /> the Visitor's Bureau in this analysis and appoint a Commissioner representative to the <br /> Committee. <br /> Attachment 1 is the resolution adopted by the Town Council that establishes the Committee <br /> and <br /> its composition. Attachment 2 is a citizen petition received by the Town in June of 2016 <br /> regarding the potential colocation of the Visitor's Bureau with the Chapel Hill Museum in <br /> Historic Town Hall. <br /> The Town and County Boards discussed ideas surrounding the future use of Historic Town <br /> Hall and other properties during its joint meeting on March 26, 2015. The portion of the agenda <br /> abstract dedicated to this discussion is attached as Attachment 3. The abstract discusses the <br /> potential options for the disposition of Historic Town Hall and how it could be used as a site for <br /> the Visitors Bureau or other community purpose. The abstract also mentions the potential <br /> reuse of the current Visitors Bureau building. Following this discussion, County staff engaged <br /> an architect and engineer to perform a facility analysis of Historic Town Hall to inform any <br /> future discussion. This report is located as Attachment 4, "June 9, 2015 Facility Analysis". <br />
