She said the homelessness programs coordinator <br /> was described as "a time-limited, benefitted position through 6/30/22." <br /> Blake Rosser said those job descriptions were included in the MOU for the Town of Chapel <br /> Hill to understand what they were agreeing to by signing. He said the Housing Access <br /> Coordinator was there along with one other position. <br /> Commissioner Fowler asked if the coordinator position was actually time limited or if it is <br /> still filled. <br /> Blake Rosser said time-limited positions are often renewed, especially if they are grant <br /> based. <br /> 3.
