5 <br />This amends an existing statute to permit the County to <br />acquire property for either one of these two purposes <br />and makes clear that it does not necessarily have to be <br />part of an urban open space program but can be anywhere <br />in the County where there is a need for farmland or <br />watershed protection. <br />(2) An act to authorize Orange County to require financial <br />security for the repair and operation of community <br />systems of sewage collection, treatment and disposal <br />will require an ordinance amendment which will allow the <br />County to permit alternative systems. The county will <br />be able to require financial security for their <br />construction, design and operation so that if there is <br />a failure there will be some remedy to fix it or have <br />it fixed. <br />(3) An act to amend section 17.1 and 18.1 of Chapter 460 of <br />the 1987 session laws to make an impact fee ordinance <br />adopted by orange County, insofar as it relates to <br />capital improvements for public schools, applicable to <br />all development that occurs within the County including <br />development that occurs within the corporate limits and <br />the extraterritorial planning jurisdiction of any city, <br />town or other municipal corporation located within <br />Orange County -- this enabling legislation will allow <br />the County to levy these fees. A preliminary report <br />will give the procedures that need to be followed in <br />order to implement these fees. <br />(4) An act adding Orange County to those counties authorized <br />by Chapter 651 of the 1989 Session laws of the General <br />Assembly of North Carolina to regulate trespassing to <br />hunt or fish on private lands by local ordinance will <br />require a local ordinance. <br />(5) A local bill enabling Orange County to adopt a <br />human /civil rights ordinance for Orange County will <br />require a local ordinance. <br />The Impact Tax Bill was not pursued. <br />Chair Carey asked the County Manager to consult with the County <br />Attorney and Human Rights Commission to bring back to the Board on <br />September 17, a timetable -for adopting an ordinance for regulating <br />hunting and an ordinance for human /civil rights. He also asked the <br />Manager to consult with the County Commissioners for recommendations on <br />timing and process. <br />
