For Orange County and for Durham County, give the dollar amounts for the projected sales tax revenues for each year of the plan. Then for each year, show the total for both counties combined, and the percent of the total that is projected to come from each county. (I believe we have already seen such a chart, or something similar.) C. Make the following changes in the BRI Plan 1. Different map On page 18 use a different map that shows the county line and other geographic details so the LRT alignment is clearly shown with respect to what is currently on the ground. 2. Dollar amounts for state and federal funding On pages 22 and 23, the dollar amounts for state and federal funding should be stated clearly. Please give the amounts for the 25% state match and 50% federal match for LRT, and also the amounts for other state and federal funds that are included in the model. Note that the $239 million in federal funds in paragraph F needs further explanation. 3. Orange financial plan data On page 23, the amounts given should list all of the costs included in the model, and they should be given in both 2011 dollars and YOE dollars. Doing that might help explain why the costs listed on this page total $648 million while the total plan costs listed on page 30 total $659.9 million. 4. Implementation agreement On pages 23 and 24, the text should be changed as suggested by Chair Pelissier in her edits to the transit plan, sent by email on May 17. 5. Federal New Starts funding process On pages 24-26, state the dates for federal funding that are used in the model for each step of federal funding. 6. Alternative plan Either here on page 26 or elsewhere in the text of BRI Plan, describe the "local" plan (previously known as the "core" plan) which explains what will happen if federal and state funds are not obtained. The details of the plan that we have already received could be included in an appendix. 7. Closing summary On page 27, it is stated that the draft Plan has been shared with the general public, Carrboro Board of Aldermen, Chapel Hill Town Council, the Hillsborough Town Commissioners, the DCHC MPO, the Burlington-Graham MPO and the Orange County Commission. Please see that all of these entities receive the most recent version of the BRI Plan and that they are told how and when they may provide their comments. 8. Appendix A - Total Plan Revenues and Costs Review the charts on page 30, and check all of the information for accuracy and completeness. If all of the information is correct, please explain why the third pie chart shows the local costs for Orange County to be 40.7 percent of the total costs ($268.7 million divided by $659.9 million). Please give a clear statement concerning how the revenues and costs in all three charts were calculated.
