1� -. <br />The rate will be decided jointly by the town and the county. The <br />other feature of the proposal is a county -wide impact tax for <br />school capital which would be retained 1006 by the County. The <br />only modification which has been made to the proposal, which was <br />approved by Carrboro /Chapel Hill and Orange County, is a feature <br />which allows the County to have impact fees. This would override <br />the section which states that if we have impact tax authority the <br />impact fee authority is repealed. The only change that has been <br />made would allow the impact fee authority to remain for the county <br />for water and sewer purposes. That is to address the eventuality <br />that the county will have to get into some kind of a governmental <br />monitoring program for alternative water and sewer. If that <br />happens, then the county is going to want to have fees so that <br />there will be a source of money to handle the costs involved. <br />Mr. Link indicated that the intergovernmental work group sent <br />a memorandum to the local jurisdictions, dated February 7, <br />1989,which addresses many of the questions which have been raised. <br />That memorandum would be a departure point for discussion on this <br />issue. That memorandum is attached. <br />Discussion on this issue was ended. <br />Mayor Howes indicated that the Town of Chapel Hill is pursuing <br />a stable revenue source to support the Triangle Transit Authority. <br />Some of the possible sources they are considering are taxes on <br />rental cars and /or parking. He requested that the county support <br />this request. They are also supporting state wide legislation <br />encouraging beverage container recycling. <br />There being no further business to discuss, the meeting was <br />adjourned. <br />Moses Carey, Jr., Chairman <br />Kathy Baker, Deputy Clerk <br />
