There is a mission statement, core responsibilities and the concept about the membership. We will meet quarterly or more frequently if required. I need two OUTBoard members, please email if you are interested. The original steering committee representative will probably be Nancy Cole Baker. There will be a representative from the health department. Abigaile Pittman: I have been reviewing various protection options for the Old NC 10 corridor. I have a list attached of the options and also a map. When reviewing protection options for Old NC 10, 1 considered that the corridor starts back at Hwy 86. This project will come out in fall and I will go back to the BOCC with my analysis. I have narrow in on three options that stand out. Jeff Charles: It is a very popular bicycle route. It is important to cite commuting. Abigaile Pittman: When I get comments and instructions back from the BOCC, I will be back to you. Abigaile Pittman: I will going to the Planning Board on September 3 to have them review the matter of private road and access standards. We have met with DEAPR staff and obtained their comments on emergency access for trail systems in county parks. We will return to the BOCC in the fall to get comments and instructions from them. Abigaile Pittman: We have hired an environmental firm and a different transportation firm to complete contractual work in the Buckhorn EDD area. We realized that some of the development efforts beginning to take place in the EDD were revealing the need to revise the access management plan adopted in 2011. Before competing these revisions we decided it was advisable to gain additional information with regard to environmental issues in the area, and that we need to know more about the recommended functional classification of those future roads in the EDD. Abigaile Pittman: You have the OUTBoard roster before you. We need to be aggressive about filling these positions. Please let me know if you know of any interested and qualified person that would be willing to serve on the OUTBoard. Paul Guthrie: Craig will speak to the Rotary Club that I am the president of and he may want to mention the need there. Alex Castro: The Department on Aging, Engage, which are community spark plugs - I can try to get some of those. Jeff Charles: I would suggest someone from Orange County who uses the Orange County roads to replace my position, but I will stay on until someone is appointed. Abigaile Pittman: There is a handout called Transportation Advisory Board attached. The NC Department of Transportation has given me this criterion. In order for us to receive Federal Section 5311 funding for our transit system, we have to recreate the Transit Advisory Board. I will be working with Peter Murphy, who is the new Transportation Manager with OPT. This board will also need BOCC approval. I see this as a sort of subcommittee of the OUTBoard. We have to meet, at least quarterly, probably before the OUTBoard meeting.
