2 <br />It should also be noted that the proposed task forces and their respective topical areas as <br />detailed in the attachments were developed to mirror the discussions involving the <br />representatives from Orange County, Chatham County, Chapel Hill, and Carrboro. As an minor <br />variation/alternative, it is suggested that the Board consider the reassignment of the watershed <br />protection topic from the proposed Regional Water Supply/Watershed Protection Issues Task <br />Force to the proposed Joint Planning Task Force. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with review of the proposed <br />charges and compositions for three Chatham/Orange Task Forces and authorizing staff to <br />forward the task forces' proposed charges and compositions to the other jurisdictions for <br />approval and respective appointments: Eventual adoption of the task forces will require staff <br />resources from the County departments of Planning and ERCD. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board: <br />1) review the proposed joint Chatham/Orange task force proposals; <br />2) make any needed revisions; <br />3) consider reassigning the watershed protection topic to the proposed Joint <br />Planning Task Force; <br />4) authorize staff to examine the potential County staff resources needed to <br />participate in these efforts; and <br />5) authorize staff to forward these materials as revised to the other jurisdictions for <br />approval and respective appointments. Following approvals and appointments <br />by the other jurisdictions, the proposals would come back to the Board of County <br />Commissioners for final approval and County appointments. <br />
