32 <br /> in Chapel Hill last year and believes the Northern Human Services Center offerings should be <br /> well received. <br /> Next Steps <br /> The Board requested that the County Manager and the President draft a process for review <br /> by the County Commissioners and the Board of Trustees to: <br /> ■ Develop a process and criteria for siting the facility; <br /> Establish a suggested timetable by which the project should move forward, <br /> including the timing for funding; <br /> ■ Outline a process by which to conduct the feasibility study/needs assessment <br /> for the facility. <br /> The Board requested that this information be developed in a fairly short time frame. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs requested that the process also outline how far the plan may proceed <br /> without the selection of a specific site. <br /> The Commissioners also reviewed their previous discussions on April 25 concerning Durham <br /> Tech. The approved minutes of the April 25, 2001 meeting show that the Board "endorsed in <br /> principle the siting and future development of the Orange County Satellite Campus of <br /> Durham Technical Community College." <br /> The Board discussed the merits of having a public hearing on establishing a satellite campus <br /> before the Board proceeds with a formal resolution of intent which would commit the Board to <br /> spending money for the campus. Commissioner Gordon noted that the Board customarily <br /> holds hearings on important matters. Commissioner Jacobs agreed that we should hold a <br /> hearing and noted that it would be a good opportunity to educate the public. The Board <br /> decided to hold a public hearing before adopting the formal resolution of Intent to Proceed <br /> with the satellite campus. This resolution is required by the State to begin the process. The <br /> staff will incorporate a hearing into the suggested timetable referenced above. <br /> ADJOURNMENT <br /> Following closing comments by members of the Board and the Board of Trustees, the <br /> meeting was adjourned at approximately 8:30 p.m. <br /> Stephen H.
