16 <br /> Attachment 5 <br /> Abigaile Pittman noted that in the process of meeting with DOT regarding the maintenance for <br /> the facilities there will need to be a contract with the Town of Hillsborough to provide that <br /> maintenance. This will be one of the discussions at the joint meeting between the BOCC and <br /> the Town of Hillsborough in February. The final decision on the Plan will be postponed until after <br /> that meeting has been held. She noted it could be a March or April BOCC meeting. <br /> Jeff Charles noted that if there are going to be bicycle lanes or bicycle areas there has to be <br /> maintenance in those area that involves running a power brush over them to get debris, gravel, <br /> broken glass, etc. <br /> Abigaile Pittman advised she would make sure it was included in the discussion. She also told <br /> the group that Grady Brown School went into the project list for the DCHC MPO, who is allowed <br /> to submit 20 bike/ped projects up to DOT, and Grady Brown made it as number 19. <br /> Nancy Baker asked Abigaile if that included the overpass and was told that it does. <br /> Ted Triebel asked if there was any effort to prioritize between the three schools as to which one <br /> should go forward first. He noted that the possibility of getting funding for all three was slim and <br /> Abigaile Pittman responded that the Grady Brown projects have been prioritized by the BOCC. <br /> Abigaile Pittman noted that Hillsborough submitted the Cameron Park projects as a package but <br /> it wasn't accepted as one of the 20 projects. <br /> Alex Castro asked if the County would have to pay for 20% of the costs of the Grady Brown <br /> project. <br /> Abigaile Pittman responded that there is money left over that was not obligated because very <br /> few of the plan are ready right now if this project can get there first with an adopted plan and <br /> constructability with DOT resolved and cost estimates that are fairly accurate, with the fact that <br /> the County has staff engineers that can lay out some pre-engineering work, the project can <br /> submit for some of the remaining SAFETEA-LU funds that have no matching projects. She <br /> added that if not, because DOT scored it in their scoring list, it would be eligible for the funds <br /> that have a 20% match. <br /> Alex Castro asked if the project was in a position to do all of that and have all the work <br /> prepared. <br /> Abigaile Pittman advised that was the goal. <br /> Motion made by Alex Castro that the OUTBoard recommend to the County Commissioners that <br /> they consider approving the 3 SRTS action plans identified for Grady Brown, Stanford Middle <br /> School, and Cameron Park Elementary School projects.
