2 <br />Alice Gordon: The big discussion was about connectivity. Items that took the least money took most of the <br />discussion. <br /> <br />Karen Lincoln: They brought up the water systems and a lot of good points. <br /> <br />VI. Items for BOCC Annual Planning Retreat <br /> <br />Sam Lasris: Has a date been set? <br /> <br />Karen Lincoln: I talked with Donna, and she said nothing had been set. <br /> <br />Alice Gordon: It will be in January, I suspect. <br /> <br />Sam Lasris: On attachment 3, is this part of the road widening for bicycling? <br /> <br />Karen Lincoln: We had identified that and there was a problem with the resurfacing and DOT had agreed. They <br />were going to go back and try to resurface the places they missed. You did have a big impact. <br /> <br />Bryn Smith: It looks like the Estes Drive extension is starting to happen. <br /> <br />Sam Lasris: Anyone have anything to add to the discussion of Attachment 3? I wondered if there is work on <br />developing a plan on trails. <br /> <br />Nancy Baker: It is one of our objectives, I think. <br /> <br />Karen Lincoln: It ties into the Comprehensive Transportation Plan. There will be coordination between this Board <br />and other advisory boards to develop some of those plans and there will be coordination with the ERCD. <br /> <br />Bryn Smith: CFE is ready to begin working on the 2008-2010 “wish list” for the Lands Legacy Program. <br /> <br />Jan Grossman: The Mountains to the Sea was originally going through the northern part of the County but now it is <br />going through Duke Forest and the southern part. It would be nice to have something in the northern part. I think we <br />need to work on that. <br /> <br />Nancy Baker: We have two plans; the County’s Comprehensive Plan and then we have an element of that plan in <br />our own Comprehensive Transportation Plan to get done. <br /> <br />Karen Lincoln: Which ties into the element of the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> <br />Nancy Baker: We have ideas, how do we need to proceed from here? What do we need to do next? <br /> <br />Pat Middendorf: What about starting with a few very concrete projects. <br /> <br />Nancy Baker: That is a good idea. We could focus on a project and the objectives for that project. <br /> <br />Sam Lasris: We have a timeline with a guide on how to proceed. <br /> <br />Nancy Baker: Our agendas will be to talk about these objectives. <br /> <br />Karen Lincoln: About prioritizing the objectives. <br />
