<br /> <br />9 <br />Jim Ray: I don’t understand why that’s ranked so high when Elizabeth Brady Road is less and it does more for the <br />Town of Hillsborough. <br />Randy Marshall: Why isn’t Orange County included in that? <br /> <br />Karen Lincoln: Because the Board of County Commissioners said that they were not willing to put it on their priority <br />list. <br /> <br />Nancy Baker: We have never had it high on our list either. <br /> <br />Randy Marshall: Would it give strength to the proposal if Orange County had it ranked? <br /> <br />Karen Lincoln: How a local jurisdiction ranks a project in their priority list comes into play if two projects score the <br />same number of points. <br /> <br />Robert Peterson: We are going to make comments outside the meeting and then submit them to the Board of <br />County Commissioners to submit to the MPO within 21 days. Will the Board of County Commissioners have another <br />meeting before then? <br /> <br />Karen Lincoln: On October 9, 2007. We could perhaps submit comments after the Public Hearing because the TAC <br />won’t take action until November. <br /> <br />Robert Peterson: Can we get these approved by the Board of County Commissioners within the 21 days? <br /> <br />Karen Lincoln: No they don’t do business outside meetings. There is a possibility to get it in on the 9th. <br /> <br />Robert Peterson: That would be past the 21 days. <br /> <br />Karen Lincoln: A minimum of 21 days. If we could get them there before the last day, that would be acceptable. <br /> <br />Sam Lasris: The Public Hearing is on the 10th. <br /> <br />Robert Peterson: We are basically going to emphasize the positives on our number one project. Homestead Road, <br />bike and pedestrian points need to be addressed in comments. <br /> <br />Randy Marshall: Do we appeal to the DCHC MPO? <br /> <br />Robert Peterson: I think that is what our comments will say. <br /> <br />Randy Marshall: There were discrepancies in calculating the score. <br /> <br />Robert Peterson: How do we get this outside our meeting to be able to get to the commissioners? <br /> <br />Karen Lincoln: I have to submit an abstract and all attachments by this Friday to get this on the October 9 BOCC <br />agenda. <br /> <br />Robert Peterson: What is protocol? <br /> <br />Karen Lincoln: Does everyone want to submit comments to me? <br /> <br />Nancy Baker: Comments on the ranking system? <br />
