He said category 2 contains changes like the <br /> Gateway Station adjustment, where GoTriangle comes to the BOCC for its feedback. He <br /> asked if Board of County Commissioners would submit changes for category 2 via Travis <br /> Myren. He said Category 1 changes include addition or deletion of stations, and all entities <br /> have to vote for category one changes. He said GoTriangle will return to the BOCC on <br /> December 12 for a vote on the additional station at Blackwell and Mangum Streets in Durham. <br /> Matthew Clark presented this portion of the PowerPoint: <br /> Proposed Engineering Updates <br /> • The estimated cost of the proposed Gateway station update is $8 million. <br /> • The estimated cost of the proposed DPAC station addition is $2.5 million. <br /> • The purpose of the Gateway station update is to provide more opportunity for economic <br /> development in Orange County. <br /> • The purpose of the DPAC station addition is to provide people in Orange and Durham <br /> Counties with easy access to the DPAC, Durham Bulls Athletic Park, and other center <br /> city destinations. <br /> • Both Engineering updates are contained within the budget which is set at around $2.47 <br /> billion <br /> Commissioner McKee asked if the $2.47 billion budget includes the long-term loans, as <br /> he understood the total cost to be over $3 billion. <br /> Matthew Clark said that is not correct, and the capital costs of the project are $2.47 <br /> billion. He said financing costs are not included in the capital costs. <br /> Commissioner McKee said citizens are not being presented with an honest portrayal of <br /> the total costs of the project. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs asked if GoTriangle could provide the BOCC with a report about <br /> how GoTriangle has engaged Durham Tech and the Orange County campus on providing <br /> jobs. <br /> Matthew Clark said he is spearheading a workforce development partnership with <br /> Durham Tech and several other partners. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs asked if something could be brought in writing to the BOCC on <br /> December 12th <br /> Matthew Clark said yes. <br />
