17 <br /> 1 information that the BOCC needs to move forward. He said the original schedule had the two <br /> 2 coinciding, but this is no longer the case. <br /> 3 John Talmadge said in September 2016, the staff working group agreed that the plans <br /> 4 needed to be updated, with April set as a deadline, as it was in line with when the MPO wanted <br /> 5 some information. He said all staff worked very hard to get information ready for that time, but <br /> 6 two weeks ago the assessment was that the product is not ready to be taken out for public <br /> 7 comment, and that there is more information that needs to be vetted, as well as answers to <br /> 8 questions that cannot yet be given. <br /> 9 Commissioner McKee said what happens if Board of County Commissioners directs its <br /> 10 representative to the GoTriangle BOD to vote no. <br /> 11 John Talmadge said the decision is the GoTriangle Board of Trustees to make, but prior <br /> 12 to that Management will have to decide whether or not to bring the item before the Board of <br /> 13 Trustees. He said he cannot say what the Board of Trustees will decide, <br /> 14 Commissioner McKee referred to the plan and the changes, and said he would like to <br /> 15 know when was the work on the new financial model, that eliminated the $4 million a year for 10 <br /> 16 years, completed. <br /> 17 Danny Rogers said at the end of December 2016, when it was turned into the FTA. He <br /> 18 said that model was being worked on, with the hope that it would succeed, but this was not <br /> 19 known for certain until December. <br /> 20 Commissioner McKee said it would have been helpful if he had known this plan was <br /> 21 being pursued during the meetings in December. <br /> 22 Chair Dorosin said the concern is the voting in April, and that information related to that <br /> 23 vote in April, may not be available until June. He said getting Commissioner Burroughs' <br /> 24 information request would be critical. <br /> 25 Chair Dorosin said as much information that is available in April should be shared, even <br /> 26 if it is not in its final form. <br /> 27 Chair Dorosin said the above item would have been better discussed at a regular <br /> 28 meeting. <br /> 29 <br /> 30 4. Discussion on Board Policies and Procedures <br /> 31 Chair Dorosin said issues have come up over the past year about policies and <br /> 32 procedures that predate the majority of the current Board. <br /> 33 <br /> 34 Discussion Points for BOCC <br /> 35 1. For Board and staff to discuss eliminating the practice of attributing planning <br /> 36 efforts to specific Board members <br /> 37 <br /> 38 Excerpt from the December 13, 2016 APPROVED BOCC Meeting Minutes <br /> 39 • Announcements and Petitions by Board Members <br /> 40 <br /> 41 Commissioner Jacobs petitioned to eliminate the practice of attributing planning efforts <br /> 42 to particular Commissioners in the abstracts. <br /> 43 Commissioner Jacobs said he brought this up, and he does not think it should be an <br /> 44 abstract, as to who made the petition about a particular issue. He said it is fine to leave it in the <br /> 45 minutes, but do not add to it an abstract. <br /> 46 <br /> 47 A motion was made by Commissioner Burroughs, seconded by Commissioner Jacobs to <br /> 48 adopt a policy to take attribution out of abstracts and keep it in the minutes. <br /> 49 <br />
