D R A F T Craig Benedict: About the expansion of the OPT system, in the past 10 years, there has not been anything new but now we 108 have new funding sources from a few different locations. Another funding source is 5311, which is a rural community 109 transpiration system. There are also 5307 funds for urban areas. 110 111 Paul Gutherie: The theme of your April meeting is the kickoff of a large expansion in service. 112 113 Craig Benedict: We want to rebrand OPT having it work well with all the other transit providers. As an interim measure we 114 will order generic bus signs with an Orange County symbol until we brand them with their own symbol. 115 116 Bret Martin: Review of Endorsement of BOCC Action: OPT Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Plan. 117 118 Janice Tyler: For seniors our social work staff could approve folks for Chapel Hill Easy Rider; would ya'll consider that here,119 that our team could certify someone without seeing a medical provider? 120 121 Bret Martin: I can’t answer that. Continued review. 122 123 Tom Magnuson: Can we make changes at this late date? 124 125 Bret Martin: If it is something that is definitely governed by the plan adopted by the BOCC, then the answer is no but 126 something that would result in an administrative decision, then yes. 127 128 Tom Magnuson: I took issue with the appeal process. From the user standpoint, that will be uncomfortable. The people 129 who rejected me are going to evaluate the rejection. 130 131 Bret Martin: We run into issues of decisions being made by people who do not meet often enough. 132 133 Paul Gutherie: Is there a hearing officer independent of the operating departments? 134 135 Craig Benedict: If someone disagrees with my decision, it will go to the Board of Adjustment. I would keep a record of 136 comments.137 138 Ted Triebel: Regarding the expanded service into Alamance County, was there cooperation between the two counties, and 139 is there a funding source from Alamance County to OPT? 140 141 Bret Martin: The answer to your second question is no. The answer to your first question is yes. 142 143 MOTION made by Heidi Perry to endorse the resolution as modified by the BOCC and that we revisit the issues 144 of fares and complaints procedures three months after the beginning of the system and at three month intervals. 145 Seconded by ___________ 146 147 Alex Castro: You said revisit, I think the subject of further study is those issues you mentioned. We need to 148 spend time looking at provision and coming up with more definitive words. 149 150 Paul Gutherie: Would you accept the idea the OUTBoard would continue to look at these issues for procedural 151 and administrative changes? 152 153 MOTION made by Heidi Perry to endorse the resolution as modified by the BOCC and that we revisit the issues 154 of fares and complaints procedures for procedural and administrative changes three months after the beginning 155 of the system and at three month intervals.
