2 <br />pool proposed for the Orange County Community Activity Center. Commissioner <br />Halkiotis distributed a memo from Meg Lanchantin, Aquatics Director at the <br />University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, which explained the logic of <br />having three pools instead of one with a movable bulkhead. The three pools <br />will serve the community at large and is efficient and cost effective. <br />Commissioner Insko made reference to the Planning Board minutes and a <br />statement made by Mr. Jim Ritchie of the Triangle Transit Authority in which <br />he said that environmental protection is something the County does and not the <br />TTA. She asked that the Board look at the big picture when considering <br />transit corridors. She feels that the TTA Board should be working with the <br />elected officials on protecting the environment. John Link will communicate <br />this concern to Jim Ritchie and ask that there be a coordinated effort to <br />protect the environment. <br />Commissioner Willhoit said that he supports the County Commissioners <br />and the Planning Board working on a plan to determine the density that will <br />support a fixed guideway system. <br />Commissioner Insko made reference to the minutes of the Economic <br />Development Commission and the request they received for a contribution of <br />$2500 from the Raleigh-Durham Regional Association to carry out a regional <br />marketing campaign and questioned the participation by the EDC. She feels <br />that one of the EDC's primary goals is not to promote growth but to bring <br />economic development into Orange County to provide better jobs for those who <br />presently live in the County. She feels that the EDC is not coordinating <br />enough with the welfare reform efforts. <br />Commissioner Halkiotis stated that a light will be installed at Mt. <br />Hermon Church Road and Highway 70 in July. <br />IV.
