ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: January 24, 2006 <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No. 9- e- c <br />SUBJECT: Hillsborough Strategic Growth Steering Committee- Appointments <br />DEPARTMENT: Planning, PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No <br />Board of Commissioners <br />ATTACHMENT(S): <br />Recommended Individual Applications <br />INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Craig Benedict, Planning Director, <br />Phone: 245-2592 <br />Clerk's Office 245-2130 <br />PURPOSE: To consider making appointments of Orange County representatives as members <br />of Hillsborough Strategic Growth Steering Committee. <br />BACKGROUND: Appointments to the Hillsborough Strategic Growth Plan Consultant <br />Selection Committee previously came before the BOCC at their November 15th regular meeting, <br />but were deferred due to time constraints. Given that the Town of Hillsborough needed these <br />appointments on November 16th, Chair Carey suggested inputting Vice-Chair Barry Jacobs and <br />Orange County Planning Board member Ted Triebel's names, until such time that the BOCC <br />would have another chance to vote on these appointments. These appointments came before <br />the BOCC again on December 5th and were also deferred at that time. The work of this <br />committee ended on December 0, with the input of Ted Triebel and Commissioner Barry, <br />Jacobs. <br />At its October 3, 2005 meeting the BOCC approved a modified Memorandum of <br />Agreement (MOA) with the Town of Hillsborough for "Creation of a Strategic Growth Plan for <br />Hillsborough City Limits, Extraterritorial Planning Jurisdiction and Areas Designated as 10 Year <br />and 20 Year Transition in the Land Use Element of the Orange County Comprehensive Plan." <br />The Board is now being asked to consider appointments to a Steering Committee to <br />work with the consultant throughout the process. "The Steering Committee will consist of not <br />fewer than eight (8) members equally shared and appointed by both jurisdictions, Orange <br />County and Town of Hillsborough. Orange County's membership will be appointed from the <br />Orange County Planning Board, Commission for the Environment, Economic Development <br />Commission, and the Board of County Commissioners, based on recommendations and <br />volunteer applications." <br />i I; J , '! 1 `.II nr ?uklen -divvy V , , -,in.< . r.Ln
