ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: September 2, 2003 <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No. '' j ^Ct <br />SUBJECT: Resolution of Appreciation -Kate Dixon <br />DEPARTMENT: Environment and Resource <br />Conservation <br />PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No <br />ATTACHMENT(S): <br />1) Resolution <br />INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />David Stancil, 245-2590 <br />TELEPHONE NUMBERS: <br />Hillsborough 732-8181 <br />Chapel Hill 968-4501 <br />Durham 688-7331 <br />Mebane 336-227-2031 <br />PURPOSE: To consider a resolution of appreciation for Kate Dixon, who recently resigned <br />as Executive Director of the Triangle Land Conservancy (TLC) after 11 years. <br />BACKGROUND: On June 30, Kate Dixon, having completed 11 years with Triangle Land <br />Conservancy (nine as Executive Director), resigned to pursue other interests. When Ms. <br />Dixon started with TLC, she was the first full-time staff member. During her leadership, the <br />organization grew to 2,000 members and its endowment to $600,000. The annual State of <br />Open Space report, initiated during her tenure, is recognized for its value to regional <br />conservation -and Ms. Dixon has been involved in the preservation of over 4,000 acres. <br />In addition to being a regional leader for open space and conservation, Ms. Dixon has been <br />greatly appreciated locally within Orange County, serving on many advisory committees and <br />helping set the stage for a variety of County/TLC partnership projects -such as the Little <br />River Regional Park and an item on tonight's agenda, Steep Bottom Branch. TLC created <br />the Johnson Mill preserve in the Rural Buffer, and holds easements on lands such as Maple <br />View Farm and the Lloyd-Andrews Farmstead. Ms. Dixon's leadership with TLC set the tone <br />for current and future partnership opportunities between focal governments and land trusts. <br />A resolution of appreciation for Ms. Dixon's accomplishments and for her fostering of a <br />legacy of partnership and conservation within Orange County is attached. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the resolution <br />of appreciation for Ms. Dixon, and thank her for her many years of valuable service to the <br />County and the region. <br />
