14 <br /> 1 Chair Dorosin asked if Commissioner Marcoplos' comments about fixing discrepancies <br /> 2 could be part of those discussions. <br /> 3 Perdita Holtz said yes, but any discrepancies involving the rural buffer would also <br /> 4 eventually affect Carrboro and Chapel Hill. <br /> 5 <br /> 6 A motion was made by Commissioner McKee, seconded by Commissioner Jacobs for <br /> 7 the Board to adopt the revised resolution amending the Water and Sewer Management, <br /> 8 Planning, and Boundary Agreement and will supersede the resolution from May 2. <br /> 9 <br /> 10 Commissioner Rich asked if this motion also approves the forming of a committee. <br /> 11 Perdita Holtz said staff is still working out the process at this point, and she does not <br /> 12 have details yet. She said it does not have to be part of the motion. <br /> 13 Commissioner Rich said there should be discussion and a committee formed. <br /> 14 Craig Benedict, Planning Director, said the thought was to jump start it with Mayors and <br /> 15 Board Chairs and then go from there. <br /> 16 Commissioner Price said these discrepancies should be discussed and resolved. <br /> 17 Chair Dorosin said the Board previously discussed getting rid of this discrepancy, by <br /> 18 moving the line, and concerns about transparency and notification to landowners arose. <br /> 19 Craig Benedict said staff can talk about what the process should be over the summer. <br /> 20 He said there is a joint land use plan to the north with Hillsborough, and to the south with <br /> 21 Carrboro and Chapel Hill, and any changes result in an elaborate process. <br /> 22 Chair Dorosin said the point is that this represents a bad process, and it needs to be <br /> 23 fixed; and the process should be as simple and streamlined as possible. <br /> 24 Commissioner Marcoplos said this would be an opportunity to re-educate residents <br /> 25 about the rural buffer. <br /> 26 <br /> 27 VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 28 <br /> 29 b.
