She told <br />the members she needed their comments for the Commissioners' October 2 meeting. <br />Paul Guthrie noted that he is less concerned the BOCC seeing this report and the way its done than them <br />understanding what its limits are and that it doesn't necessarily point to the best policy. <br />Jeff Charles noted that he is concerned that if they look at some of the stuff the OUTBoard was shown and think <br />about the impact on mass transit, there is not a very compelling argument for mass transit from the data given. <br />
