Commissioner Gordon made reference to the County Commissioners being involved <br /> and said that the way it should work is that the Board should be clear about priorities and set <br /> the priorities, and then the staff should carry them out. She thinks that one reason the County <br /> Commissioners get too involved is that they either do not get what they thought they were <br /> going to get, or somehow it is not complete and they try to fix it. This is not how it should work. <br /> Frank Clifton said that it is not that the Board should not be involved, but it ought to be <br /> as a Board and not as individual members. <br /> Regarding the 911 service, Frank Clifton said the most recent incident involved <br /> someone accidentally cutting the wires with a backhoe. <br /> Commissioner Gordon made reference to things that the Board needs to discuss and <br /> said that she agrees with most of the suggestions made by Mr. Clifton regarding <br /> reorganization. She asked Frank Clifton to keep the Board up to date about retirements and <br /> reorganization. She asked him to flag things that need to come up soon, such as freeing up <br /> valuable office space that is currently used for storage. She said that the Board of Elections <br /> move is going to be using 4500 square feet of office space for storage. While this is an <br /> acceptable solution for now, it should be understood that as storage space is made available <br /> elsewhere, we should think about reassigning the use of this space for offices rather than <br /> storage. <br /> Commissioner Gordon made reference to the budget process and said that the County <br /> Commissioners have tried to spread out the budget process, but there is still a small timeframe <br /> to make major budget decisions. She suggested moving the process back so that the Board <br /> does not get overloaded. <br /> Frank Clifton said that it is important for staff to do the homework and bring to the <br /> Board of County Commissioners the options for a budget. He thinks that in the end the County <br /> Commissioners have to make the decisions. <br /> Commissioner Gordon issued a memorandum to enter into the record: <br /> "All, <br /> This is a heads-up to let you know that the DCHC MPO Transportation Advisory Committee <br /> (TAC) is beginning a discussion of expanding the Metropolitan Area Boundary (MAB) for the <br /> MPO. <br /> The staff is only recommending a limited expansion at this time, with further consideration of <br /> expansion after the 2010 census. The areas recommended for consideration of expansion at <br /> this time are "Area 1" <br /> in Orange County, along the 1-85 corridor toward Mebane and the Burlington-Graham MPO. <br /> The other area is "Area 5" in Chatham County. <br /> I will bring a copy of the relevant portion of the map to the meeting tonight. <br /> 1 have asked Karen Lincoln to provide you complete information as part of her monthly report <br /> on the TAC activities, and that should include the complete map. <br /> Upon a motion by me (seconded by the representative from Chatham County), the TAC has, <br /> upon a unanimous vote, directed the staff to come back to the October TAC meeting with more <br /> information including the population in the areas for potential expansion, a more complete <br /> explanation of the financial implications, and the implications for the TAC by-laws. 1 made the <br /> motion to defer action until the next meeting and to bring back more information because ! <br /> wanted the BOCC and the county staff to have some time before the TAC took action. <br />
