This will be addressed in agenda item#6. <br /> APPROVAL OF MINUTES—May 15,2002 <br /> Chair Gordon said that there was a different edited version of the minutes(copies passed out)and <br /> no one would have had time to read them. Some of the differences are clarification. She suggested <br /> holding off on approving the minutes until everyone had the chance to read them. <br /> At the end of the meeting,a motion was made by Michael Gehring, seconded by Jim Ward to <br /> approve the minutes of May 15,2002. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> TOWN OF CHAPEL HILL MOU ADOPTION HEARING OF APRIL 8,2002 <br /> Memorandum to Mayor and Town Council from W.Calvin Horton,Town Manager <br /> Discussion Paper <br /> Resolution A <br /> Resolution B <br /> Chair Gordon said that the Town of Chapel Hill adopted Resolution A and not Resolution B. <br /> Craig Benedict said that Chapel Hill did not address Resolution B. The question is with the level <br /> of service. There was testimony at a public hearing that if you use the 105°/x, 107%,and 110%as in the <br /> MOU at this time,it is likely that in a few years there would be a moratorium or a deferral that would <br /> occur. This testimony was from the Chamber of Commerce. The information was based on one <br /> projection methodology that was in use in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City School system. The level of <br /> service may need to be adjusted. He asked Chris Berndt if Resolution B had been discussed since the <br /> hearing. <br /> Chris Berndt said no-and that the Council adopted Resolution A. She brought the minutes from <br /> the meeting,but it is pretty clear that Resolution A was the one that they wanted. <br /> Craig Benedict said that any adjustments to these level of service percentages that are wrapped <br /> into the MOU and have been recommended by this board,will have to be returned to the local <br /> governments and to the school districts for reevaluation and approval. There are three elements wrapped <br /> into the MOU, and there are four that would be determined before the actual land development ordinance <br /> goes into effect. Within the next month,the new projections will be compared with the proposed CIP to <br /> 1 <br />
