such referendum shall not be held within the period of time beginning 60 days before and <br />ending 60 days after any other primary, election, special election or referendum held in the <br />county. <br />Following the adoption by the Board of the Resolution required by N.C. Gen. Stat, § 153A -60, <br />the Resolution will be "published" also as required by that statute. The law does not prescribe <br />when the Resolution is to be published. The options are that the publication could occur soon <br />after the Resolution is adopted or sometime reasonably close to and prior to the 2008 primary <br />election. Alternatively, it could be published both times. It is recommended that the Resolution <br />be published in the News of Orange and in the Chapel Hill Herald. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with the Board's consideration of <br />next steps on district elections for the Board of County Commissioners for a November 2006 <br />referendum. There would be some costs associated with the publishing of the Resolution which <br />could be addressed within the current FY 2005 -06 budget. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board 1) consider the next <br />steps on district elections for the Board of County Commissioners for a November 2006 <br />referendum; 2) review and discuss the additional sets of maps /plans, statistical data, and draft <br />transition plans for a potential seven member Board of Commissioners; and 3) consider any <br />action and /or provide comments, questions and any further direction to staff. <br />
