r <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> WORK SESSION AGENDA ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date: September 9, 2002 <br /> Action Agenda <br /> Item No. <br /> SUBJECT: Courthouse Clock— Proposed Plaque <br /> DEPARTMENT: County Manger PUBLIC HEARING: (YIN) No <br /> ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br /> John Link, ext 2300 <br /> 8/9/02 Letter from Craufurd Goodwin <br /> TELEPHONE NUMBERS: <br /> Hillsborough 732-8181 <br /> Chapel Hill 968.4501 <br /> Durham 688-7331 <br /> Mebane 336-227-2031 <br /> PURPOSE: To discuss plans relative to the Courthouse Clock and efforts to recognize those <br /> providing funding for its restoration/repair. <br /> BACKGROUND: In the attached letter dated August 9, 2002, Craufurd Goodwin outlines a <br /> plan to erect a plaque in the Old Courthouse to recognize those parties who provide the <br /> $30,000 in support necessary for the restoration/repair of the Courthouse Clock. As proposed, <br /> the recognition plaque would include the names of the current members of both the Orange <br /> County Board of Commissioners and Town of Hillsborough Board of Commissioners as well as <br /> the names of potential private donors. <br /> As plans for the potential plaque are being developed, input from the BOCC would provide a <br /> basis for all parties to move forward on this initiative. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with discussion of the potential <br /> plaque, and any expense for the plaque, if erected, would be at no expense to the County. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board review the attached <br /> letter, discuss the possible erection of a plaque recognizing contributors to the Courthouse <br /> Clock restoration/repair, and provide any appropriate direction to staff. <br />
