18 1 OFFICERS Triangle Transit Board of Trustees Commissioner Pelissier - Treasurer 2 3 4 Chair Jacobs opened discussion of assignments to the Historic Rogers Road Task Force. 5 Commissioner Price said she is interested because she has been interested in that 6 community for many years and she has attended some of the meetings and knows people in 7 the neighborhood. 8 Commissioner Dorosin said he is interested on the task force and has worked with the 9 Rogers Road community for several years. He said he is knowledgeable about needs and 10 priorities of the community and the issues they are facing. It was the focus of his campaign and 11 he believes it contributed to his election. He said he has good relationships with residents and 12 this would be invaluable to both the Board of County Commissioners and the task force. 13 Commissioner McKee, Commissioner Gordon and Commissioner Pelissier all said they are 14 not interested in serving on the task force. 15 Commissioner Rich would like to continue on the task force and noted that she has been 16 on it for six months. She said she has been involved since they first started pricing water and 17 sewer out there. She thinks they need continuity and she has read all of the reports since 18 1997. She said that at the end of every meeting, there are no conclusions, just reports. She 19 believes they need to move forward and it is time not to go backwards and to engage the 20 managers to move forward as meetings take place. She said her goal would be to represent 21 Orange County now and not Chapel Hill. 22 23 A motion was made by Commissioner Pelissier to nominate past commissioner, Pam 24 Hemminger, to continue on this task force as an Orange County representative. She stated 25 that Mrs. Hemminger kept people on task and had garnished a lot of respect. She knows the 26 Orange County budget process and the county perspective. She noted that the task force 27 makes recommendations only and does not vote as elected officials. 28 Commissioner McKee seconded that motion. 29 30 VOTE: Yeas - 3 (Chair Jacobs, Commissioner Pelissier, Commissioner McKee) 31 Nays 4- (Commissioner Rich, Commissioner Price, Commissioner Dorosin, Commissioner 32 Gordon) 33 MOTION FAILED 34 35 A motion was made by Commissioner Dorosin, seconded by Commissioner McKee to 36 nominate Commissioner Price. 37 VOTE: UNANIMOUS 38 39 A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Chair Jacobs to nominate 40 Commissioner Rich. 41 VOTE: Ayes, 5; Nays, 2 (Commissioner Dorosin and Commissioner Price) 42 43 A motion was made by Commissioner Rich seconded by Commissioner Gordon to 44 nominate Commissioner Dorosin.
