8 <br />It was decided that John Link will take these comments and questions to <br />the extended Department Head meeting this Friday and bring back their <br />comments to the Board of County Commissioners. <br />Commissioner Willhoit suggested that the County review the <br />programs that won NACo recognition for specific ideas about cost <br />savings and efficiency. He agrees with going ahead with the survey. <br />John Link will bring back to the Board a listing of projects <br />that show efficiencies that have been implemented. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Willhoit, seconded by <br />Commissioner Halkiotis to pursue the service quality approach to the <br />extent outlined above, and to prepare a list of NACo projects that show <br />efficiencies. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />B. ANNUAL TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMS <br />Transportation Planner Slade McCalip presented a report on <br />the N.C. Department of Transportation's annual State Transportation <br />Improvement Program and the Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro Metropolitan <br />Transportation Improvement Program. He asked for suggestions of <br />projects to include or exclude from the plan. <br />Commissioner Crowther suggested asking DOT to evaluate the <br />speed limit at NC57 and NC157 and Guess Road and the Efland-Cedar Grove <br />Road and Carr Store Road intersection. Both of these intersections <br />still seem to be high accident areas. Also, the road needs to be <br />improved on NC57 approaching that intersection. <br />Slade McCalip will work with Commissioner Gordon on this <br />proposal and bring back for Board approval on October 2. <br />XI.
