Planning & Transportation
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)
Fleet Feet has been reluctantly considering moving their corporate headquarters and retail store out of Carrboro. This Tuesday, the Carrboro Board of Aldermen will consider an Economic Development Agreement under which Fleet Feet would stay in Carrboro and move into a new building at 300 E Main Street—putting their (greatly-expanded) national flagship store on the ground floor and their national headquarters above.
Tonight
is the first of two public information sessions regarding changes to
Chapel Hill's advisory board structure. For the past several years, the
Town of Chapel Hill has been in the process of reevaluating most of its
operations. This includes changes in department organizational policies
and procedures, employee compensation and classification, and Council
guidelines for more efficient meetings. However, one area of the Town's
operations that has not yet been restructured are its advisory boards.
There has been a Council committee in place since 2010 (currently
comprised of Council Members Gene Pease, Laurin Easthom, and Matt
Czajkowski) to evaluate the advisory boards, and last Wednesday Council
Member Pease presented their recommendations for board restructuring at a
Council work session
