io Authority, Chapel Hill Transit." Then on page 21 at the top where it says, "Note: special emphasis should be placed on how the system currently ensures the effectiveness and efficiency of their scheduling and routing operations," she added, "Emphasis should also be placed on how well the system coordinates its services with other transit services in the community or region. For example, Triangle Transit Authority, Chapel Hill Transit." Commissioner Jacobs made reference to page 21 and the note where it says, "their scheduling" and clarified that it should say "its scheduling." Also, there is the part missing about the Human Resources Transportation Advisory group and how it should be reconstituted. The Board might want to have a different transportation advisory board that would have a broader purview than just human resources. AI Terry said that on May 20th they will be bringing the bylaws in front of the Board and the Transportation Advisory Board will be changed to also allow a more global transportation board to include planning, the environment, and other aspects. He pointed out that in this CTIP on page 11 - Item 1 - a1 -they are looking at the complexity of the system as itself and whether it should be joined with other area transit services or whether it should stand alone. Commissioner Jacobs asked if the separation of the Department on Aging was applied as part of this and AI Terry said yes. Commissioner Jacobs asked that this be fleshed out a little more in the document. Chair Brown asked how to evaluate who is using the system. AI Terry said that the consultant would go out and do surveys with the human agencies and with the community. Chair Brown asked that the survey include whether the community uses it as a commuter service to get to work. Chair Brown asked how the two systems would coordinate and cooperate with each other. AI Terry said that Chapel Hill operates under the urban laws of NCDOT and OPT operates under the rural laws of the State. There could be some coordinated efforts between Chapel Hill Transit and Orange Public Transportation. Commissioner Gordon said that this is a transportation board that looks at services and there could be a transportation board that looks at policies, or a super board that looks at both. A motion was made by Commissioner Halkiotis, seconded by Commissioner Gordon to approve the Community Transportation Improvement Plan update with the changes as made by Commissioners Gordon and Jacobs, the Scope of Worky and the appointment of Commissioners Gordon and Jacobs to the Review and Selection Team, and that the Review and Selection Team will submit recommended consulting firms to the BOCC on June 26th for approval. VOTE: UNANIMOUS b. Legal Advertisement for May 27, 2003 Quarterly Public Hearing The Board considered authorizing the Planning Department to submit the Quarterly Public Hearing Legal Advertisement for publication for the May 27, 2003 Quarterly Public Hearing. Commissioner Gordon submitted some revisions on a yellow sheet and the staff's revisions were on the blue sheet. Planning Director Craig Benedict said that there are some issues to be resolved regarding the proposed third high school in the CHCCS about moving funds from one fund to another to accommodate the timeframe. This needs to go to public hearing. Following that, there will be a public hearing on some planning items. He went through the revisions on these items as stated in the abstract. Commissioner Jacobs suggested a change on the master telecommunications plan where the pre-identified sites are listed. He said that it should say voluntary agricultural districts. He said that anyone can withdraw from a voluntary agriculture district at any time and there needs to be more of a commitment on the part of the property owner for some long-term protection. Commissioner Jacobs proposed a change in the language proposed by Commissioner Gordon and said that it is too specific. His sense of a public hearing is that the public should come and give comment and guidance.
