6 <br />33 <br />1 Mayor Foy said that there should be acknowledgement and everything should be written <br />2 down so that OWASA has a clear understanding of each entity's intentions. <br />3 Mark Chilton said that if you read through all of the resolution there is only a passing <br />4 mention of land usage and conservation. He said that he does not see the local government <br />s entities passing a resolution that speaks to the question of water supply without addressing <br />6 conservation and efficiency as a simple part of the water supply plan: <br />7 Chair Jacobs listed the elements that he has heard: whatever direction that is given to <br />8 OWASA be written; address the issue of emergency access to Jordan Lake; <br />9 compilatioNdiscussion of current conservation efforts; and Chatham County would like some <br />1o kind of answer this summer in order to move forward. He said that, in listening to the last part of <br />11 the conversation, it might be useful for the boards in Orange County to draft an alternative <br />12 resolution that addresses the same partnership, but in terms that make people feel more <br />13 comfortable about a partnership. <br />14 Ted Voofiees, Deputy City Manager of Dufiam, said that he was the author of the <br />15 resolution. He said that it was Dufiam's intention to call out the fact that responsible land use <br />16 planning will be an integral part. He apologized for not saying this well. He thinks that the City <br />17 Council fully understood the relationship between land use planning and water demand. He <br />18 said that Dufiam has been doing water conservation for a long time. <br />19 Clarifying questions of various board members were answered by Ted Voofiees. <br />20 <br />21 3~ Buckhorn Villas~e <br />22 Craig Benedict said that Buckhom Village is a planned development zoning proposal that <br />23 was submitted to Orange County fora 130-acre parcel located on I-85/I-40.
