D R A F T <br />Peter Murphy replied that the BOCC will have a hearing but the hearing they did here last year was because of a 266 <br />change. He informed the Board they have to because one of the grants requires it. 267 <br />268 <br />Ted Triebel noted that he thought number three for shelters and benches was going to be brought before the 269 <br />BOCC in 2015. He wondered what needs to be done to stress that this is something that needs to get done. 270 <br />271 <br />Abigaile Pittman responded that it was a matter of prioritizing funding for the initialize starting on the bus routes. 272 <br />273 <br />Ted Triebel noted that it needs to be done and put into the funding and the budget. He added that if it doesn’t 274 <br />get put in the budget it won’t be funded. 275 <br />276 <br />Heidi Perry suggested making a recommendation. She noted that they can go ahead and prioritize the ones they 277 <br />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 278 <br />they fund it as they have money. She added that they could have the list ready so they don’t have to wait until 279 <br />there is funding and then go back and make the list. 280 <br />281 <br />The consensus was to create a priority list. 282 <br />283 <br />The board voted unanimously to approve the annual work plan with a word change in the emerging issues list to 284 <br />include a recommendation to identify major route stops requiring bus stop amenities. 285 <br />286 <br />AGENDA ITEM 7: STAFF UPDATES (ABIGAILE PITTMAN)287 <br />288 <br />A.Highlights of the NCDOT/Orange County luncheon meeting (October 19, 2015) 289 <br />B.State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) Development Process 290 <br />C.Bicycle Safety Plan 291 <br />D.Request for Qualifications & Proposals Conceptual Design – Train Station 292 <br />Hillsborough, NC 293 <br />E.Piedmont Triad Freight Study 294 <br />OUTBoard Action: Receive information. 295 <br />296 <br />Abigaile Pittman amended the update due to time and gave a quick update on items. 297 <br />298 <br />AGENDA ITEM 8: YEARLY ELECTION OF CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR299 <br />OUTBoard Action: Elect Chair; elect Vice Chair 300 <br />301 <br />Ted Triebel nominated Alex Castro 302 <br />303 <br />Alex Castro declined and nominated Heidi Perry 304 <br />305 <br />John Rubin seconded 306 <br />307 <br />Heidy Perry was elected OUTBoard Chair by unanimous vote 308 <br />309 <br />Heidi Perry asked for nominations for Vice Chair 310 <br />311 <br />John Rubin nominated Alex Castro 312 <br />313 <br />Ted Triebel seconded 314 <br />315 <br />Alex Castro was elected Vice-Chair by unanimous vote 316 <br />317 <br />AGENDA ITEM 9: ADJOURNMENT318 <br />8
