She <br />14 said that one or two more bus stop shelters would be favorable. <br />15 Jerry Passmore said that he could add two more shelters to this list and AI Terry said <br />16 that he would add this tomorrow. <br />17 A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Nelson to <br />18 authorize the Chair to sign the resolution, which is incorporated by reference, to submit the <br />19 application and to accept the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds if approved, with <br />20 the stipulation that two more bus shelters in the Hillsborough area be added and that <br />21 alternative-fueled vehicles be suggested. <br />22 VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />23 <br />24 6.
