Matt Reece, assistant director of Piedmont Triangle Regional Council, which conducted the study, presented
the results and recommendations based on a comprehensive analysis of all town positions. The presentation
included a recommendation to increase the minimum pay for all positions by 3%.
It was noted during discussion that many local governments near Hillsborough were planning to make larger

completion of the study. Town Manager Eric Peterson noted that some of the cost could be covered by cost

about 60 acres off Old N.C. 86 between Waterstone Drive and Interstate 85 intended for mixed-use
development. The development proposal was introduced to the Board of Commissioners earlier this year and
was reviewed by the Planning Board. Both boards received comments and asked questions about the plan at
the July joint public hearing. The Planning Board subsequently recommended the annexation and rezoning
requests be approved so the development can proceed. The development is expected to have an affordable
housing component.
A motion was made to approve the annexation ordinance.

Hughes brought up a concern of the Tourism Development Authority and Tourism Board that those boards
pay more for their audits than they think they should. The audits for those boards are bundled with the town
audits.
The town manager said Hughes and Campbell have raised legitimate concerns. He said the updated audit
contracts for those boards are close to what the board have been paying because the town is subsidizing
those audits for the next three years.
A motion was made to approve the audit contract with PBMares for a cost not to exceed $53,500.
Motion made by Commissioner Ferguson, seconded by Commissioner Hughes.

RESOLUTION
Naming Future Greenway as “Ridgewalk”
WHEREAS, the Community Connectivity Plan has recommended a greenway connecting Riverwalk and
downtown southwards to Cates Creek Park and the surrounding neighborhoods since 2009; and
WHEREAS, the alignment of this greenway has shifted as feasibility and design have progressed; and
WHEREAS, a community survey conducted from June 1 to June 18, 2022 suggested the name Ridgeway
and while the community responded well to the name, an alternative of Ridgewalk was also suggested; and
WHEREAS, the name Ridgewalk was unanimously recommended by the Parks and Recreation Board on
Aug. 16, 2022, as it coordinates with the existing Riverwalk greenway name and doesn’t create awkward or
redundant language; and
WHEREAS, this greenway is under development by the town, the above steps are in reasonable alignment
with Town Code Section 3-29 since the public is not asking to rename an existing facility;
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved the Hillsborough Board of Commissioners establishes the name
“Ridgewalk” for the proposed greenway running south from Riverwalk to Cates Creek Park.
