TITLE
Vote to adopt the updated Memorandum of Understanding for the Central Pines Rural Planning Organization (previously the Triangle Area Rural Planning Organization).
ABSTRACT
Action Requested:
Adopt the updated Memorandum of Understanding for the Central Pines Rural Planning Organization (previously the Triangle Area Rural Planning Organization).
Introduction & Background:
Chatham County is currently a member of the Triangle Area Rural Planning Organization (TARPO), which is housed within the Triangle J Council of Governments (TJCOG). With TJCOG changing its name to the Central Pines Regional Council, the Memorandum of Understanding for the Rural Planning Organization must be changed to reflect the new name. For consistency, TARPO will also be changing its name to the Central Pines Rural Planning Organization (RPO).
Discussion & Analysis:
Attached is the updated Memorandum of Understanding and letter from the RPO staff explaining the changes. Along with the name changes, the updated MOU also clarifies previously vague language about the number of seats on the voting board and the requirement for the alternate members to be elected officials.
How does this relate to the Comprehensive Plan:
This item is reflected in all aspects of the Transportation section of Plan Chatham.
Recommendation:
Motion to adopt the Memorandum of Understanding for the Central Pines Rural Planning Organization.
