266 Peter Murphy replied that the BOCC will have a hearing but the hearing they did here last year was because of a <br />267 change. He informed the Board they have to because one of the grants requires it. <br />268 <br />269 Ted Triebel noted that he thought number three for shelters and benches was going to be brought before the <br />270 BOCC in 2015. He wondered what needs to be done to stress that this is something that needs to get done. <br />271 <br />272 Abigaile Pittman responded that it was a matter of prioritizing funding for the initialize starting on the bus routes. <br />273 <br />274 Ted Triebel noted that it needs to be done and put into the funding and the budget. He added that if it doesn't <br />275 get put in the budget it won't be funded. <br />276 <br />277 Heidi Perry suggested making a recommendation. She noted that they can go ahead and prioritize the ones they <br />278 think need it the most and present it as a report and if there is no funding then either it gets left until next year or <br />279 they fund it as they have money. She added that they could have the list ready so they don't have to wait until <br />280 there is funding and then go back and make the list. <br />281 <br />282 The consensus was to create a priority list. <br />283 <br />284 The board voted unanimously to approve the annual work plan with a word change in the emerging issues list to <br />285 include a recommendation to identify major route stops requiring bus stop amenities. <br />286 <br />287 AGENDA ITEM 7: STAFF UPDATES (ABIGAILE PITTMAN) <br />288 <br />289 A.
