He said Mebane's board is about to make <br />changes to its board, and Orange County needs to re- engage with the Mebane. <br />Chair Dorosin suggested scheduling a good neighbor program with Mebane. <br />Commissioner Marcoplos said there is a meeting scheduled for the fall and it may be <br />wise to get to know the Mebane board a bit first. <br />Commissioner Rich said Mebane was not in the Schools Adequate Public Facilities <br />Ordinance ( SAPFO) numbers. <br />Bonnie Hammersley said Mebane is included in the numbers. <br />Travis Myren said staff did make a SAPFO presentation to the Mebane board a couple <br />of months ago.
