14 <br /> 1 Kathleen Ferguson said she is not clear on what the total annual costs are. <br /> 2 Matt Efird said he would work through that further if she would like but the direct cost is <br /> 3 $89,000. He said the larger number is the county's projected cost with the fee recovery backed <br /> 4 out. <br /> 5 Kathleen Ferguson asked how many animal services calls are received during business <br /> 6 hours or after hours. She asked how the county deals with handling wildlife after business hours. <br /> 7 She asked how wildlife that aren't deer are handled. <br /> 8 Matt Efird said he would provide that information. He said that NC Wildlife would also <br /> 9 assist with wildlife calls. He said they will get a response on what happens to wildlife afterhours. <br /> 10 Kathleen Ferguson asked for clarification on who to call for calls that are not deer. <br /> 11 Matt Efird said the Town Board adopted a new resource guide and it is generally going to <br /> 12 be NC Wildlife. <br /> 13 Kathleen Fergeson asked if the county can make the minimum housing code more <br /> 14 stringent. <br /> 15 Matt Efird explained that he believes that the rules are the same for all jurisdictions and <br /> 16 the county would also not be able to make the requirements more stringent. <br /> 17 <br /> 18 3. Updates on Town Water& Sewer Capacity and Land Use Planning <br /> 19 <br /> 20 The Town adopted a new Comprehensive Sustainability Plan in 2023 that in part, studied how <br /> 21 the town could and should grow based on its water and sewer capacities and smart growth <br /> 22 principles. This plan included recommendations to reduce the town's urban service boundary, <br /> 23 increase density in the urban core and prevent sprawl, and align the town's future land use plan <br /> 24 with the recommended development/growth areas included in the comprehensive plan. Doing <br /> 25 these things will necessitate updates/changes to the town's agreement(s) with the County (and <br /> 26 other Orange County jurisdictions)for the Water and Sewer Management, Planning and Boundary <br /> 27 Agreement (WASMPBA), Central Orange Coordinated Area (COCA) Land Use Plan, and <br /> 28 potentially otherjoint planning agreements. Similarly, Orange County has embarked on an update <br /> 29 to their Comprehensive/Land Use Plans that may have implications for Hillsborough. Staff and <br /> 30 Board members from both jurisdictions would benefit from some joint conversations on how both <br /> 31 jurisdictions are planning to grow/change in the future and how this might impact either <br /> 32 jurisdiction. <br /> 33 <br /> 34 The Boards can discuss issues related to this item as necessary, and staff will be available at the <br /> 35 meeting. <br /> 36 <br /> 37 Matt Efird made the following presentation: <br /> 38 <br /> 39 Slide #1 <br /> Water & Sewer Capacity and <br /> Land Use Planning Update <br /> Joint Town/County Meeting <br /> February 17,2025 <br /> 11 .� <br /> HlEESSC7 Urit <br /> 40 <br />
