Orange County <br /> Hillsborough <br /> North Carolina <br /> Manager 's Office Established 1752 <br /> January 17 , 2002 <br /> Mr . Eric Peterson , Manager <br /> Town of Hillsborough <br /> 137 N . Churton St . <br /> Hillsborough , NC 27278 <br /> Dear Eric : <br /> SUBJECT : Status Report — Recommendations of the Shaping Orange <br /> County ' s Future Task Force <br /> Earlier this fall , the Orange County Commissioners requested review by county <br /> departments of recommendations from the Shaping Orange County ' s Future <br /> ( SOCF ) Task Force . Following review , department heads prepared brief , bullet- <br /> style status reports on their activities toward addressing the recommendations . <br /> Many of the recommendations may have been implemented independent of the <br /> report . Enclosed are three relevant attachments . Attachment A is a compilation of <br /> the county department head reports ; Attachment B is the instruction sheet to <br /> department heads for preparation of the status reports ; and Attachment C is a <br /> summary table of action strategies for " Sustainability and Community Building " and <br /> " Critical Areas to Maintain or Improve Quality of Life . " <br /> My purpose in sending this to you is two -fold : First , 1 request that you share <br /> Attachment A with your elected officials and department heads to indicate the <br /> current status of SOCF in Orange County ; and second , I hope you will consider a <br /> similar process with your department heads (Attachments B and C may prove <br /> helpful in this respect ) . Our goal is to compile the county and municipal comments , <br /> share them with Task Force members who may want to make final style /format <br /> changes to the Task Force report , and issue the final report with press release as a <br /> newspaper insert . We don ' t have a specific deadline at present , though we are <br /> hoping for this spring . Receipt of town comments by February 15 should make it <br /> possible to achieve a mid - May publication date . <br /> The Task Force ' s Provisional Report and Recommendations from May 2000 is the <br /> source document for recommendations . You should have a copy of this , but if you <br /> find that another is needed , please contact Gene Bell ( gbellgco . oran orange nc . us ) in the <br /> Orange County Planning Department at 245 - 2589 who is managing / monitoring the <br /> transition of the report to actual implementing policies . <br /> 200 S.
