The Board also approved the use of $5,000 <br /> from its Contingency Fund to finance Orange County's <br /> share of the project cost. <br /> A professional services agreement for preparation of <br /> the master plan has been drafted by the Durham City- <br /> County Planning Department. The agreement addresses the <br /> following points: <br /> 1 . Scope of Work; <br /> 2 . Responsibility of the Consultant; <br /> 3. Responsibilities of the Local Governments; <br /> 4. Time Schedule; and <br /> 5. Project Budget and Accounting Procedure. <br /> Although the project is a cooperative effort involving <br /> the City of Durham, Durham County, the Town of Chapel <br /> Hill, and Orange County, a New Hope-Eno River Open <br /> Space Advisory Committee would be appointed to provide <br /> for citizen involvement in preparation of the master <br /> plan. The Committee would be comprised of 16 members, <br /> with four at-large representatives and three members <br /> appointed by the Managers of each jurisdiction. <br />
