I  <br />need two OUTBoard members, please email if you are interested. The original steering committee representative will <br />probably be Nancy Cole Baker.There will be a representative from the health department. <br /> <br />Abigaile Pittman: I have been reviewing various protection options for the Old NC 10 corridor. I have a list attached  <br />of the options and also a map. When reviewingprotection options for Old NC 10, I considered that the corridor starts  <br />back at Hwy 86. This project will come out in fall and I will go back to the BOCC with my analysis.

We realized that some of the development efforts beginning to take place in the  <br />EDD were revealing the need to revise the access management plan adoptedin 2011. Before competing these  <br />revisions we decided it was advisable to gain additional information with regard to environmental issues in the area,  <br />and that we need to know more about the recommended functional classification of those future roads in the EDD.  <br /> <br />Abigaile Pittman: You have the OUTBoard roster before you. Weneed to be aggressive about filling these positions. <br />Please let me know if you know of any interested and qualified person that would be willing to serve on the  <br />OUTBoard.  <br /> <br />Paul Guthrie: Craig will speak to the Rotary Club that I am the president of and he may want to mention the need  <br />there.  <br /> <br />Alex Castro: The Department on Aging, Engage, which are community spark plugs - I can try to get some of those. <br /> <br />Jeff Charles: I would suggest someone from Orange County who uses the Orange County roadsto replace my  <br />position, but Iwill stay on until someone is appointed.  <br /> <br />Abigaile Pittman: There is a handout called Transportation Advisory Board attached. The NCDepartment of  <br />Transportation has given me this criterion. In order for us to receive Federal Section 5311 funding for our transit  <br />system, we have to recreate the Transit Advisory Board. I will be working with Peter Murphy, who is the new  <br />Transportation Managerwith OPT. This board will also need BOCC approval. I see this as a sort of subcommittee of  <br />the OUTBoard. We have to meet, at least quarterly, probably before the OUTBoard meeting. <br />6
