Over 50 residents attended the meeting, <br />including some BOCC and Town Board representatives. Nearly all attendees were <br />owners of property within the areas proposed to be added to the ETJ. <br /> <br />Joint BOCC and Hillsborough Town Board Meeting: <br />At a February 27, 2014 Joint Meeting, the Boards received an update on the process <br />and outreach from staff. Following discussion between the boards, it was informally <br />concluded that due to feedback received from the public, changes in State <br />annexation law, and achievement of the vision articulated by the Agreement, both <br />parties agreed to consider stopping ETJ expansion and formally consider a joint <br />resolution amending the Agreement to that effect. <br /> <br />Joint Resolution Amending the Hillsborough-Orange Interlocal Land Management <br />Agreement for the Central Orange Coordinated Area – At its meeting on May 8, <br />2014, the BOCC adopted a resolution amending the Interlocal Agreement to reflect <br />the intent to continue coordination with Hillsborough to relinquish some areas of its <br />Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ), as defined in the Agreement, back to the County <br />and end the ETJ expansion process. The Hillsborough Town Board followed suit at <br />its meeting on May 12, 2014. <br /> <br />Town of Hillsborough Public Hearing - The Town of Hillsborough held a public <br />hearing on July 17, 2014 for relinquishing the respective properties from its ETJ. <br />There were no public comments conveyed and no discussion among board <br />members. Subsequently, on August 21, 2014 the Town’s Planning Board <br />unanimously recommended approval of the ETJ adjustment as proposed. At its <br />meeting on September 8, 2014, the Hillsborough Town Board is expected to approve <br />the ETJ adjustment to become effective on October 1, 2014. The effective date was <br />selected to allow Orange County sufficient time to process its Future Land Use Map <br />and zoning atlas amendments within 60-days, consistent with State law. <br />16
