15 <br /> 1 He said work is being done with legislative representatives to make that technical correction. <br /> 2 He said that particular change will go through in a bill late in the session. <br /> 3 Wib Gulley said this will not be shown in the budget until it is resolved and there will be <br /> 4 an update for the Board of County Commissioners in the fall. He said this is not holding any <br /> 5 work up. He said the implementation agreement provides for annual reviews of activities for <br /> 6 bus and rail. He said every 4 years it provides a thorough review of the rail project and its <br /> 7 status, and at 8 years or sooner there can be other reviews, as desired. <br /> 8 He said the agreement also provides a process for the three parties — MPO, Triangle <br /> 9 Transit and Orange County—to review and make changes, as needed. <br /> 10 John Tallmadge, Director of Regional Services Development at Triangle Transit, said <br /> 11 this implementation agreement lays out many steps for moving from the plan to funding <br /> 12 services and capital improvements. He said there are three implementing entities —Orange <br /> 13 County, MPO and Triangle Transit (TT). He said Triangle Transit has the oversight <br /> 14 responsibilities. He said there is a proposal on page two which forecasts revenue expectations <br /> 15 for each of the three entities. <br /> 16 He said the plan identifies services and lays out service types. He said there needs to <br /> 17 be continued planning. He said there have been meetings with County staff about a proposed <br /> 18 process that involves stakeholders —from Durham County and Orange County— and there <br /> 19 would be defined goals for these services. He said data on travel demands and markets in the <br /> 20 county would be analyzed to develop service and capital proposals, such as park and ride lots. <br /> 21 He said there would then be a prioritization process taking into account financial constraints. <br /> 22 He referenced the proposal on pages 5-7 of the abstract and said the intent is to have broad <br /> 23 outreach. <br /> 24 He said Triangle Transit has identified additional frequencies from South Durham to <br /> 25 UNC to deal with overcrowding in the park and ride lots. This will be done this fall. He said <br /> 26 Chapel Hill Transit has communicated an expectation for some money to be used to fund <br /> 27 existing services and some money to expand evening and Saturday hours. <br /> 28 He said communication has just been received from Orange County staff regarding <br /> 29 options for use of revenues, and the process of determining revenue use is nearing closure. <br /> 30 Sondra Freeman, Chief Financial Officer for Triangle Transit, said information has been <br /> 31 provided on the investment plan overview. She said attempts are being made to be very <br /> 32 transparent in all decisions; and TT will be responsible for providing financial information and <br /> 33 ensuring that information is audited each year. <br /> 34 She directed the Board members to Attachment 1, and she reviewed the 2013-14 <br /> 35 proposed budget. She said the total collections will be $31 million, and the total expenditures <br /> 36 will be $16.3 million. She reviewed the revenue sources and the expenditures. <br /> 37 She reviewed the numbers from the chart on abstract page 4 - FY14 Draft Budget for <br /> 38 the Bus and Rail Investment Plan. Total collections for Orange County, from all revenue <br /> 39 sources, are $7.3 million and administrative costs total $150,000. She said costs are split <br /> 40 between the two counties. She said there is also a very conservative reserve of$3.2 million. <br /> 41 This leaves a net revenue of about $4 million. <br /> 42 Commissioner McKee asked for the percentage of administration costs. <br /> 43 Sondra Freeman said administrative costs make up 1.03% of the total collected. <br /> 44 Commissioner McKee asked if this includes personnel and consultants. <br /> 45 Sondra Freeman said no, this is strictly administrative costs. <br /> 46 Sondra Freeman said that staff positions are pro-rated, and positions will be hired <br /> 47 throughout the year at different stages. An annual cost will be available the following year. She <br /> 48 said there are 9 individuals included, with a total of$169,000. She said the consultants total is <br /> 49 $3.2 million for Orange. <br />
