24 <br /> <br />Chair Rich said she would like to clarify some things in the minutes. She referred to <br />page 2 of the minutes from October 1, where Commissioner Dorosin said he wanted to start a <br />committee to review universal Pre-K. She asked Commissioner Dorosin if it is acceptable to <br />review the information already gathered by the Manager’s office, prior to the creation of this <br />committee. <br />Commissioner Dorosin said he wants to adhere to a 12-month timeline, and he does not <br />mind reviewing that information, but wants to get this done most effectively. <br />Chair Rich referred to line 42 of page 3, and said Commissioner Dorosin asked about <br />the reconfiguration of the Greene Tract land. She said she met with Chapel Hill this week, and <br />she wants to clarify that Chapel Hill had voted on the reconfiguration twice; Chapel Hill wants <br />the Board to know it voted, but she said the project cannot move forward until there is a plan for <br />the usage. <br />Commissioner Dorosin asked if anything has been filed in the Register of Deeds Office <br />that the land has been reconfigured. <br />Chair Rich said no, it has not. <br />Commissioner Dorosin said everyone has voted, but no action has been taken. <br />Chair Rich said it is not in anyone’s interest until a purpose for the land is determined. <br />Commissioner Dorosin clarified that the land is not reconfigured. <br />Chair Rich said correct; Chapel Hill voted to reconfigure, but it has not been completed <br />yet. <br /> <br />A motion was made by Commissioner McKee, seconded by Commissioner Marcoplos to <br />approve the minutes. <br /> <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> <br /> <br />9.

She said the Clerk’s office will be working on getting a different data <br />system, and Commissioner Dorosin and Commissioner Price are working on reducing the <br />length of the application.

She said she spoke with Clerk Kleinschmidt, who <br />asked the Board to make this appointment, because this is the first time that he has done this. <br />Commissioner Dorosin said he appreciates the letter from the Clerk, but is concerned <br />that the candidate has already served 8 terms, and the other two members have served since
