Orange County Transit Plan — Current Status and Discussion <br /> a) Review of Durham/Orange DRAFT Cost Share Agreement <br /> Chair Pelissier said that Planning Director Craig Benedict asked for direction to flesh out <br /> details of the bus plan that would be part of the package for May 15th. She suggested <br /> discussing the draft cost-share agreement, which will be on the agenda for May 15th. The <br /> Durham Board of Commissioners has this on a work session this Monday. <br /> John Roberts said that Durham County added several modifications to the cost-share <br /> plan. Mainly what Durham County changed was to add Durham County to the clause, #5 on <br /> page 2. Nothing was changed that benefited Orange County. <br /> Commissioner Gordon suggested clarifying where the revenues would come from and <br /> specifying the exact fees. <br /> John Roberts said that this is referencing Orange County and Durham <br /> County and Triangle Transit so he cannot say what Durham County's registration fee is. Craig <br /> Benedict said that the other entities have the same authority as Orange County does. <br />
