Board Comments <br /> Commissioner McKee thanked the staff for getting the Bus and Rail information page <br /> on the County website. <br /> Commissioner McKee said he attended an ABC Board meeting, and he will forward his <br /> notes to the Board, especially as pertains to the ABC Board's finances. <br /> Commissioner McKee said he attended the Burlington-Graham Metropolitan Planning <br /> Organization (MPO), and the Upper Neuse River Basin Association (UNRBA) meeting. He will <br /> forward his notes from these meetings to the Board as well. <br /> Commissioner Marcoplos had no comments. <br /> Commissioner Burroughs said the Board should consider the impact of all possible cuts <br /> in federal revenue such as the HOME funds and asked staff to prepare a list of the federal <br /> funds received by OC Department so we can prepare the public for this possibility sooner <br /> rather than later. <br /> should consider what may happen if HOME funds are not received, and review which <br /> departments will be most strongly effected, and then prepare the public for this possibility <br /> sooner rather than later. <br /> Commissioner Rich said she may have misspoke about putting GoTriangle Transit on a <br /> work session. <br /> Travis Myren said it is scheduled for the February 16th work session. <br /> Commissioner Price attended the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners <br /> (NCACC) Legislative Goals conference, and she emailed the Board the five priorities. She <br /> said one of interest is raising the age of juvenile jurisdiction from age 16 to 18. <br /> Commissioner Price said she attended the Phoenix Academy mid-year graduation. <br /> She said Commissioner Burroughs and Jamezetta Bedford are responsible for a scholarship <br /> program there, which she commended. <br /> Chair Dorosin said there is some concern about the NCACC recommendation to raise <br /> the age of juvenile jurisdiction, as it excludes all felonies. He said the task force working on <br /> juvenile justice would only exempt the most serious felonies. <br /> Chair Dorosin said the Humans Relations Commission has a program on 1/29/17 about <br /> freedom of religion and Islamaphobia. <br /> 13.
