She said TTA had a petition from the Town of Carrboro at Triangle Transit to use the 1/4 <br /> cent sales tax to build sidewalks, especially for access to the transit stops. She said this will <br /> require further discussion. <br /> Commissioner Pelissier said she went to her first meeting of the Orange County <br /> Juvenile Crime Prevention Council. She said other counties have an annual report about the <br /> work of the council. She said there was informal discussion of creating a report in Orange <br /> County. <br /> Commissioner Price said she attended the NCACC conference today on the Affordable <br /> Care Act. She invited the Commissioners to look at the information on the website. She noted <br /> the next meeting scheduled for October 28th in Burlington. <br /> Chair Jacobs said he and Commissioner Pelissier met with their recently appointed <br /> representative to the Chapel Hill Library Board of Trustees, Mr. Stroud. He said efforts were <br /> made to get him up to date on the County's areas of concern. He said it reminded him of the <br /> need to put together a group to plan the upcoming retreat and to gather reports from <br /> representatives of Orange County that serve on other governmental boards. <br /> He referred to the discussion of 4 to10 percent funding for non-highway projects. He <br /> said this means the number will be 4 percent. He said this fits into the discussion of bus rapid <br /> transit in Wake County. He said, without significant state funding in the foreseeable future for <br /> light rail, there will be some interesting discussions at Triangle Transit. He said this will likely <br /> filter back to the Board regarding the future of public transportation planning. <br /> 13.
