It was the committee's determination that a <br />mediator was needed to talk with the different groups and reach a conclusion. <br />Chair Carey emphasized that no action can be taken on hiring a <br />mediator unless all jurisdictions and the University approve. He has sent <br />a copy of the report to Chatham County and invited them to participate in any <br />further discussion there may be on this issue. He received a letter and a <br />resolution from Madeline G. Levine and the Executive Committee of SCRAP. <br />They asked that the Board appropriate no additional money for the purpose of <br />considering or searching for a site for a new or relocated airport in Orange <br />County and that the Board not depute any member of the Board of County <br />Commissioners or any County employee or private citizen to participate in any <br />airport relocation process. <br />John Link indicated that Raleigh- Durham Airport is willing to <br />continue receiving general aviation and that they are supportive of a <br />reliever airport in a nearby county. <br />Commissioner Insko emphasized that the University is the driving <br />force and they should pay for the outside mediator because they stand to gain <br />the most. She prefers that a local mediator be used. <br />Chair Carey noted that this issue will be brought back to the <br />Board the last meeting in August or the first meeting in September. The <br />
