The concern was the dog-leg at Linden Road and the fact that there is no crossover to the south side of Route 70 . This was an arbitrary line picked by Mayors Gulley and Sheffield several years ago. Mayor Jenkins concern initially was that the proposed activity was within Durham County. Mayor Johnson assured him that it was in fact inside of Orange County and that a boundary line needed to be established that was easily recognizable for both Orange and Durham County . Mayor Jenkins informed Mayor Johnson that Durham had water to meet the needs of Hillsborough and were ready to cooperate in any way possible. Mayor Johnson suggested taking another look at the contract. Durham wants protection of Little River and Eno Township. Hillsborough wants water and Orange County wants an agreement on planning. This is an opportunity to sit down to negotiate and have everyone come out a winner. I . Town/County Cooperative Planning a.
