U~~ z <br />hearings are being held in the Towns in August and September. The Town of Carrboro will <br />consider the report at an August 22 worksession and a public hearing on September 26. The <br />Town of Hillsborough will hold a public hearing on September 11, and the Town of Chapel Hill <br />will hold its hearing on September 1 S. Due to schedule limitations, the Assembly of <br />Governments meeting is currently being considered for January 2001. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The financial impact of the Shaping Orange County's Future report could <br />be very substantial for all local governments, including the County. Considerable further work <br />will be needed to assess the long-term financial implications of pursuing (and not pursuing) the <br />Task Force recommendations. As such, the initial staff evaluation attempts to identify types of <br />costs as opposed to actual cost estimates ~-which will take further work. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): Following the close of public comment, the Manager recommends <br />that the Board receive the report as information, refer it to appropriate advisory boards, and <br />work to schedule the Assembly of Govemments meeting to address the issues raised with the <br />other elected boards (including considering a joint review of financial implications by the <br />respective staffs). The existing SOCF Steering Committee (two elected officials from each <br />jurisdiction) could be asked to work with the facilitation consultant from the Dispute Settlement <br />Center to plan the Assembly of Governments meeting. <br />
