Board Comments <br /> Commissioner Price had no comments. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs asked if the Chair and Vice Chair could reinstate the strike <br /> through versions of documents and allow for the Board to receive written follow up when there <br /> is a meeting with people such as Morinaga. <br /> Chair McKee thanked Commissioner Jacobs for bringing this reminder to the Board's <br /> attention. <br /> Commissioner Pelissier said the Durham-Orange Light Rail project continues to move <br /> forward. She said Go Triangle submitted the draft Environmental Impact Study last night and <br /> should hear in February whether the project can continue. She said there was a meeting <br /> today at the Chapel Hill Library for the public to receive an update and provide input. She said <br /> 70 people were present for this meeting. She said Wake County is still considering their own <br /> light rail system. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs asked if Go Triangle could send the Board their <br /> recommendations. He said he has heard complaints regarding proposals but he does not <br /> know the specifics of any of the proposals. <br /> Commissioner Pelissier said she just saw it today and asked for a copy to be sent to <br /> the Go Triangle Board which could in turn be sent to the BOCC. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said she would get it and send it out. <br /> Commissioner Rich had no comments. <br /> Commissioner Burroughs expressed her support for value engineering being used <br /> more widely. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin said the Magistrate Exemption Bill for same-sex marriages, the <br /> religious belief exemption bill, passed the House and Senate last week, and the Governor <br /> vetoed it. He said the Senate voted to override the veto and now the House takes it up next. <br /> Commissioner Rich said it would be interesting to know how many challenges there <br /> are to bills and how much tax dollars go in to fighting these lawsuits. <br /> Chair McKee said there is a possibility of this override passing in the House but it is <br /> slim. <br /> 13.
