27 <br /> 1 are not obtained. The details of the plan that we have already received could be included in an <br /> 2 appendix. <br /> 3 <br /> 4 7. Closing summary <br /> 5 On page 27, it is stated that the draft Plan has been shared with the general public, Carrboro <br /> 6 Board of Aldermen, Chapel Hill Town Council, the Hillsborough Town Commissioners, the <br /> 7 DCHC MPO, the Burlington-Graham MPO and the Orange County Commission. <br /> 8 <br /> 9 Please see that all of these entities receive the most recent version of the BRI Plan and that <br /> 10 they are told how and when they may provide their comments. <br /> 11 <br /> 12 8. Appendix A- Total Plan Revenues and Costs Review the charts on page 30, and check all of <br /> 13 the information for accuracy and completeness. If all of the information is correct, please <br /> 14 explain why the third pie chart shows the local costs for Orange County to be 40.7 percent of <br /> 15 the total costs ($268.7 million divided by $659.9 million). Please give a clear statement <br /> 16 concerning how the revenues and costs in all three charts were calculated. <br /> 17 <br /> 18 D. Eliminate all of the inconsistencies <br /> 19 In addition to the ones I identified at the May 15 meeting, and those identified by other <br /> 20 commissioners, here are some additional places which should be checked for inconsistencies. <br /> 21 <br /> 22 1. Sales tax growth rate <br /> 23 On page 21 the rate is-given as 1.5% (2011 through 2014) and on page <br /> 24 29 it is listed as 1.00% (to 2015). <br /> 25 <br /> 26 2. Assumptions <br /> 27 Review the chart on page 29, and check all of the information for accuracy and completeness. <br /> 28 <br /> 29 3. Length of the LRT alignment <br /> 30 Throughout the BRI Plan, the length of the LRT line is given as 17 miles (e.g. page 10), but it is <br /> 31 more than that. Is it 17.3 miles? <br /> 32 Whatever it is, the 17 miles should be changed to 17.3 or whatever is correct. <br /> 33 <br /> 34 4. Initial costs and revenues <br /> 35 Throughout the BRI Plan, the initial costs/revenues are usually given in 2011 dollars, but <br /> 36 sometimes they are given in 2012 dollars. Why aren't 2012 dollars used? In any case, it would <br /> 37 be more consistent if the dollar amounts for the initial costs/revenues were stated using just <br /> 38 2011 or 2012 dollars. <br /> 39 <br /> 40 <br /> 41 <br /> 42 <br /> 43 Lew Agreement <br /> 44 A motion was made by Commissioner Foushee, seconded by Commissioner <br /> 45 Hemminger to approve the Orange County and Triangle Transit Levy of Transit Sales Tax. <br /> 46 VOTE: Ayes, 6; No, 1 (Commissioner McKee) <br /> 47 <br /> 48 <br /> 49 INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT <br /> 50 ORANGE COUNTY and TRIANGLE TRANSIT <br />
