January 19, 2011 Minutes 2 <br />a good first step toward developing a better relationship between the two boards and two departments. The <br />first main takeaway was to update the Animal Services Department’s livestock list. Animal Services <br />maintains a list of property owners who own animals with their address. When a call comes in about a loose <br />animal, Animal Services uses the list to try to identify and contact the owner prior to pursuing any type <br />citation. Staff will forward the list to APB members for updating. Both groups expressed interest in meeting <br />again and building a stronger and mutually beneficial relationship. <br /> <br /> b. Work Plan for 2011 <br />Staff included a meeting schedule chart in the packets to help the APB organize its time for the year. <br />Members reviewed the APB work plan that was submitted to the BOCC and began scheduling the various <br />tasks for specific meetings. Hopefully this approach will help the APB stay on track and continue to work on <br />individual assignments during the off meeting months. <br /> <br />c. Updates & Information Sharing <br />1. Ag Summit 2011—March 21, 2010 <br />Moon provided a brief summary of the Agricultural Summit Planning Committee’s efforts to date. Staff will <br />update the APB as the planning process continues. This year the Summit with held in collaboration with NC <br />A & T as part of their farmer of the year award. The Summit will be held in the Cedar Grove Ruritan Club on <br />Efland-Cedar Grove Road. <br /> 2. Unified Development Ordinance <br />Work on the Unified Development Ordinance continues, with public outreach meetings leading the formal <br />public hearing. Staff encouraged APB members to follow the Planning Departments website for more timely <br />updates and to participate as their schedule permits. <br /> <br />ITEM# 7: INFORMATIONAL ITEMS/FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS <br />a.
