I was previously with the Institute for Transportation Research and <br />Education at NC State on ITRE. I attended Western Carolina where I got my Masters and my undergraduate degree <br />from St. Andrews Presbyterian College. I am from the Triangle and grew up in Fuquay Varina. I look forward to <br />working with you. <br />AGENDA ITEM III: APPROVAL OF MINUTES FOR OCTOBER 19, 2011 <br />The OUTBoard minutes from October 19, 2011 were approved with changes by consensus. <br />AGENDA ITEM IV: COMPREHENSIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN — STEERING COMMITTEE UPDATE <br />The Steering Committee met on December 14, 2011 and will update the Board on its <br />discussions and next steps. <br />OUTBoard Action: Receive Update. <br />Randy Marshall: We met on December 14 and reviewed the draft recommendations that were taken to the <br />OUTBoard. They wanted the document to include the size of those lots. As it turns out, we determined that the <br />Board of County Commissioners in terms of the adopting the Comprehensive Transportation Plan only adopt the <br />maps. They do not adopt any information that goes along with supporting those maps or to expand on them. We <br />decided we would not give that information to the Board of County Commissioners until we have adopted the maps. <br />The consensus was there are lots of issues that come up when they get the supporting documentation which could <br />conceivably slow down the process. They are trying to make changes on something they don't need to. <br />Tom Altieri: There were three primary items requested by the steering committee. The first was to provide a memo <br />essentially establishing what coordination has taken place during this process with the MPO and its staff. Also, how <br />our Comprehensive Transportation Plan would be used in the MPO CTP preparation process. This, to reassure the <br />Board of County Commissioners that coordination has taken place during our process and will also take place during <br />the MPO process. Second, if not complete Appendices an outline of its contents and last, final draft maps. <br />Randy Marshall: The Board of County Commissioners will hopefully have a public hearing in February. <br />
