AGENDA #13a(2)

MEMORANDUM

TO:                  Town Council

FROM:            Kevin Foy, Mayor

SUBJECT:      Conclusion of Service:  Horace Williams Citizens Committee and Technology Committee

DATE:            April 10, 2006

The Horace Williams Citizens Committee was established in October 2002 to assist the Council in preparing for deliberations with the University of North Carolina regarding the development of the Horace Williams property.”

The Technology Committee was formed in 1998 and charged with advising the Council on the formation of a technology plan, including the formation of a town-wide network.

Both Committees have benefited from the work of dozens of citizens, council members, and town staff, and have put countless hours into their work.  The Horace Williams Citizens Committee Report and the recent presentation on Wireless Internet from the Technology Committee are evidence of the time and effort involved.

Having completed their missions, I petition the Council that we thank all existing and former committee members for their dedication and public service, and that we now conclude the service of the Technology and Horace Williams Citizens Committees, effective June 30, 2006.

Adoption of the attached resolutions would extend the Council’s appreciation to these two committees and conclude their services effective June 30, 2006.
