The Chapel Hill Town Council is moving forward with its advisory board restructuring process. As I described in an earlier post, the first stage of this process deals with creating a new advisory boards to oversee development review. Starting tomorrow (July 8) at 6:30PM, and continuing for the following five Mondays, there will be public input sessions at the Chapel Hill Public Library. The first session will describe what the input on this process will look like, and the next five meetings will focus on a specific board:
Transportation and Connectivity (July 15)
Community Design (July 22)
Environmental Stewardship (July 29)
Community Housing (August 5)
a restructured Planning Board (August 12)
North Side
School
Yesterday I over
heard an open conversation at Chapel Hill Inspection Department concerning Northside
Element School.
Three men were explaining to a Town employee why their company Bordeaux
Construction should be allowed to circumvent town standard and requirements.
The Town employee while quit pleasant was clear that was not to be the case.
One of the three from Bordeaux Construction hinted to some use of power to
force the Town staffer to renege. These veiled
threats did not the effect the staffers resolve that the project would need to
meet the Town policies.
As you might have noticed about a month ago on June 3, Orange County (finally!) joined Twitter and Facebook in an attempt to enhance their social media presence and public engagement/outreach.
I say in an attempt because if you've been following the County's Twitter or Facebook, you've probably realized just how awful the tweets and updates from the County have been.
