The BOCC meeting <br />last night was a further staff update to a presentation done by Triangle Transit done on May 1, 2013. For the past <br />month, we have addressed the monies from the half cent sales and the seven dollar tag fees which are some of the <br />revenue sources for public transit in Orange County. Those will move forward to both project developments in the <br />Light Rail System (LRT) and also for use in the Enhance Bus Services in Orange County. We transmitted comments <br />from the May 21 meeting. One of the BOCCs recommendations last night was that comments /questions should be <br />coordinated by the joint staffs and have those resolved before the meeting. Next, Triangle Transit's East West route <br />options. We also suggested a public outreach schedule at the May 21 meeting. Triangle Transit suggested a series <br />of workshops by January 1, 2014. The next item was better coordination between triangle staff and planning staff. <br />Jeff Charles: When will the $30 to $36 million dollars, when will they start spending the money? <br />
