Hamlett January 18, 1983 Mr. Kenneth Thompson Orange County Manager 106 E. Margaret Lane Hillsborough, N. C. 27278 Dear Mr. Thompson: 1 The HiJllsborough Town Board on January 10, 1983 discussed the issue of funding of the Orange County Economic Development Commission.) While some members of our Board had little problems with the 6 percent prorated share expected from the Town, others felt this amount was not equitable. Concerns raised by the Town Board was whether or not the 6 percent would be increased if other municipalities did not join the commission, and what is expected of Hillsborough, since we do not have an active Chamber of Commerce Further, the Board wanted to know how to withdraw from the Co uission, if withdrawal becomes necessary. The Boj.rd did, however, unanimously vote to appropriate $1500 to the Commission with the understanding that this expendi- ture will b re-evaluated during the 1983-84 budget proceedings. The Board later appointed former Mayor Fred S. Cates, Jr. , of 112 W. U .ion Street, as the Town 's representative to the Economic Development Commission. I will be happy to forward to you a check for $1500 upon request, A .so, the Board would appreciate a response to the above questions. With highest regards . Sincerely, (4 , . it .
