Community input in the process indicated a desire and <br />benefit to having the Town of Hillsborough and Orange County cooperate by locating the Town's <br />Community Policing Division at the facility, as well as making office space available so Orange County <br />Departments (e.g., Health, Social Services, Aging, etc.) would have the flexibility to establish <br />satellite/part-time hours at the same building. The Town of Hillsborough then coordinated design and <br />planning for the proposed facility with Orange County and the Fairview Block Captains. The result is a <br />cooperative venture between Orange County and the Town of Hillsborough that is summarized in this <br />agreement. <br />Term of A reement: This Agreement shall expire on June 30~' next following the date on which the <br />Town of Hillsborough makes the last debt payment of principle and interest on the indebtedness it will <br />incur to fmance the cost to construct the building and other improvements, if any, on the property to be <br />provided by Orange County as contemplated by this Agreement.
