REPORTS <br /> 1. TRIANGLE AREA PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION STUDY (A complete narrative <br /> of the presentation is on file in the permanent agenda file in the Clerk's <br /> office. ) <br /> Dr. Emil Malizia, member of a study team for Transportation <br /> Research and Education at the University of North Carolina, gave a summary <br /> of two reports. Report No. 2, "Travel in the Triangle: Choices" presented <br /> an analysis of transportation service options for the region and report <br /> No. 3, "Travel in the Triangle: Implementation, " presented proposals for <br /> implementing the options selected for new public transportation services <br /> in the Triangle. <br /> In an effort to reflect the views of the local officials in the <br /> area, he requested that any feedback to the reports be given to Marvin <br /> Collins or Don Willhoit.

ITEMS FOR DECISION <br /> 2. MEETING FOR A HEARING ON THE JOINT PLANNING AGREEMENT <br /> Ken Thompson noted that following a review of the revised agree- <br /> ment on October 13, it was agreed that the County Manager and <br /> representatives from the Town and County Board would meet to incorporate <br /> certain language changes. <br /> With reference to the requirement of joint approval of the Land <br /> Use Plan and Plan amendments, Attorney Geoffrey Gledhill clarified that <br /> changes to the Land Use Plan as well as changes to any of the County's <br /> ordinances are legislative acts which cannot be delegated. The County <br /> Commissioners are the final decision makers on any legislation which is <br /> part of the Joint Planning Process. The Board may delegate responsibility <br /> to a planning agency for reviewing and approving development projects <br /> including the delegation to the Town of Chapel Hill if the Board so <br /> desires. <br /> After further discussion it was decided to request that the <br /> representative from Chapel Hill draft some language for the changes they <br /> advocate in time for the first meeting which will be scheduled the first <br /> part of November. <br /> It was the consensus of the Board that Commissioner Marshall <br /> serve as the Board's representative; that Commissioner-Elect John Hartwell <br /> be invited to attend the meeting, and that a public hearing for <br /> considering the Joint Planning Agreement be set for November 18, 1986 in <br /> Chapel Hill. <br /> 3.
