6 <br /> <br />Commissioner Rich referred to page 13, and said Mebane only gives back 2% to Orange <br />County, yet is receiving more Article 46 tax dollars than Chapel Hill. <br />Chair Dorosin said the money is still in Orange County. <br />Commissioner Rich said she is just concerned about this. <br />Chair Dorosin said the goal of the conversation is to talk about the EDDs, which is the <br />driver behind the disparity that Commissioner Rich is seeing. <br />Commissioner McKee said there is a difference between money spent in the City of <br />Mebane, versus money spent on a Mebane address. He said Morinaga is not a City of Mebane <br />project. <br />Commissioner Rich said Article 46 monies come from across the entire county. <br />Commissioner McKee said he understands, but does not want this conversation to be <br />that one town is getting more than another. <br />Chair Dorosin said the EDDs are what is driving how the Article 46 monies are spent. <br />Commissioner Price clarified that the tax base in Chapel Hill is 19%, which is 42% of the <br />County. <br />Travis Myren said no that would be all uses within Chapel Hill, which includes <br />everything. <br /> <br />Economic Development & Property Tax Base (table: page 15) <br /> <br />Economic Development & Property Tax Base (graph: page 16) <br /> <br />EDD Status and Trends (chart: page 17) <br /> <br />Commissioner Price asked if, upon completion, will the Eno EDD be transferred to <br />Durham? <br />Travis Myren said yes.

He said he would like the <br />Planning Department or the Commission for the Environment to reply to that aspect of what is <br />being discussed. <br /> Travis Myren resumed the presentation: <br /> <br />Utilities in the Eno Economic Development District <br />• Served by the City of Durham <br />• County to Assume Project Responsibility
