She said staff informed Durham County that Orange County <br /> would be delaying this project, and Durham County understood. <br /> Travis Myren said staff would want to move forward with $50,000 in road repairs. <br /> David Stancil said the actual total is $100,000 with the costs being split between to the <br /> two counties. <br /> Twin Creeks <br /> Commissioner Marcoplos said Twins Creek has been promised for a long, long time, <br /> and he has a hard time telling the public it will be delayed even further. <br /> Commissioner Price said she was on the committee for this park way back when, but <br /> she does not know where it stands at this point.

He said this item has been pushed too many <br /> times. <br /> Conservation Easements <br /> Commissioner Greene said she is clear on this issue now, but does not want to see <br /> them go. <br /> Commissioner Marcoplos agreed. <br /> Commissioner Price asked if there are projects in the queue where this money would be <br /> needed. <br /> David Stancil said there are about 12 farms that are interested in pursuing easements, <br /> and this project has always moved at the speed of funds available, which has been faster at <br />
