INFORMATION: Recently, Triangle J Council of Government leadership and legal counsel reviewed the organization's Charter Resolution and recommended updates to reflect current practice and the revised boundaries of our region. The document was last updated in 1996.
The Charter Resolution is the organization's governing document and must be endorsed by each member government. The Carrboro Board of Aldermen approved the Charter Resolution when your local government joined Triangle J Council of Governments as a member.
On March 28, 2018, the Triangle J Board of Delegates reviewed and endorsed these updates (attached). Now, the Board of Aldermen must review and adopt the updated Charter Resolution. This adoption process is critical as it ensures that each member government recognize Triangle J's role in the success of the region.
Alderman Bethany Chaney serves as the second-vice chair on the TJCOG Board of Delegates.
FISCAL & STAFF IMPACT: None
RECOMMENDATION:r Staff recommends that the Board of Aldermen adopt the attached resolution as requested from the TJCOG.
