Board Comments <br /> 4 Commissioner McKee thanked the staff for getting the Bus and Rail information page on <br /> 5 the County website. <br /> 6 Commissioner McKee said he attended an ABC Board meeting, and he will forward his <br /> 7 notes to the Board, especially as pertains to the ABC Board's finances. <br /> 8 Commissioner McKee said he attended the Burlington-Graham Metropolitan Planning <br /> 9 Organization (MPO), and the Upper Neuse River Basin Association (UNRBA) meeting. He will <br /> 10 forward his notes from these meetings to the Board as well. <br /> 11 Commissioner Marcoplos had no comments. <br /> 12 Commissioner Burroughs said the Board should consider what may happen if HOME <br /> 13 funds are not received, and review which departments will be most strongly effected, and then <br /> 14 prepare the public for this possibility sooner rather than later. <br /> 15 Commissioner Rich said she may have misspoke about putting GoTriangle Transit on a <br /> 16 work session. <br /> 17 Travis Myren said it is scheduled for the February 16th work session. <br /> 18 Commissioner Price attended the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners <br /> 19 (NCACC) Legislative Goals conference, and she emailed the Board the five priorities. She said <br /> 20 one of interest is raising the age of juvenile jurisdiction from age 16 to 18. <br /> 21 Commissioner Price said she attended the Phoenix Academy mid-year graduation. She <br /> 22 said Commissioner Burroughs and Jamezetta Bedford are responsible for a scholarship <br /> 23 program there, which she commended. <br /> 24 Chair Dorosin said there is some concern about the NCACC recommendation to raise <br /> 25 the age of juvenile jurisdiction, as it excludes all felonies. He said the task force working on <br /> 26 juvenile justice would only exempt the most serious felonies. <br /> 27 Chair Dorosin said the Humans Relations Commission has a program on 1/29/17 about <br /> 28 freedom of religion and Islamaphobia. <br /> 29 <br /> 30 13.
