25 <br /> 1 Danny Rogers said that would be an administrative discussion. <br /> 2 Commissioner Jacobs asked him to provide the Board with a list of the subcontractors <br /> 3 that are from Orange County. <br /> 4 Commissioner Jacobs referred to Patterson Place and Gateway, and said they are <br /> 5 covered in the Orange County transit plan, and he is waiting to hear what the New Hope Creek <br /> 6 Corridor Advisory Committee has to say about Patterson Place before he has an opinion. He <br /> 7 said he understands the improvements that are possible, and the Durham Planning restrictions. <br /> 8 Commissioner Jacobs referred to the Gateway Station, and said two things were <br /> 9 mentioned: shifting the station to the west, which is already being done; and Orange and <br /> 10 Durham counties pursuing strategic economic development partnerships around the sites of <br /> 11 these two stations (Gateway and Woodmont). He said there has been a misunderstanding, <br /> 12 and GoTriangle staff has only been working with the Town of Chapel Hill on the Gateway <br /> 13 Station. He said the Board clarified this error with the Town last week, and he hopes <br /> 14 GoTriangle will also start working with the counties. <br /> 15 Danny Rogers said he has shared that information, and GoTriangle will work with <br /> 16 everyone on this. <br /> 17 Commissioner Jacobs said the rest of the Board of County Commissioners was not <br /> 18 present at the meeting where these discussions occurred, and he wanted for all of them to hear <br /> 19 this. <br /> 20 Commissioner Rich said it is more than just sharing information and Orange County <br /> 21 wants to be at the table every step of the way. <br /> 22 Commissioner Marcoplos asked if there is a timeline for the process of relocating the <br /> 23 stations. <br /> 24 Danny Rogers said the Gateway Station will be worked on in November, and the <br /> 25 Patterson Place Station in October. He said the two-car platform will also be discussed at the <br /> 26 October meeting. He said the additional station may take a bit longer, and should be discussed <br /> 27 at the end of this year, or January 2018. <br /> 28 Commissioner Marcoplos said when the Board voted on this, one of the key points for <br /> 29 him was the 500-acre land around the Gateway Station, and he wants to stay on top of this. He <br /> 30 asked if there could be a work session after the first of the year, once the station locations are <br /> 31 all moved. <br /> 32 Danny Rogers said he would pass along this feedback, and try to schedule such a <br /> 33 meeting. <br /> 34 <br /> 35 8.
