Approved 1-16-2008 <br />6 <br />Rich Shaw: Some lands we’ve acquired are not for active parks but for preserves. In some places there will be parts <br />of the land that is an important natural area and we won’t take the trail that way. When we are using public funds we <br />have to show that there is a public reason to do it. You have to justify everything you do. <br /> <br />Alice Gordon: There are areas of historical significance. <br /> <br />Randy Marshall: The Indian Trading path has been researched by area schools. <br /> <br />Rich Shaw: There are some old road networks associated with that land. Every time we acquire land, before a <br />master plan is developed, we hire archaeologist to do a cultural and archeological survey and evaluation. <br /> <br />Nancy Cole Baker: Rich, thank you for your presentation. <br /> <br />Jan Grossman: Can you put this map on PDF? <br /> <br />Rich Shaw: Yes. We update this map every couple of months. <br /> <br />Jan Grossman: There could be a smaller map that we could print on transparency and we could overlay them <br />ourselves. <br /> <br />Nancy Baker: We may want to have a collection of maps. <br /> <br />Alice Gordon: We should always bring the maps; the road map, the bicycle map, the transit map, etc. <br /> <br />Randy Marshall: Do you have a copy of the smaller versions of the maps.

But as you recall, last time <br />Commissioner Gordon stated that we if we really have objectives that we would like to get in the budget, this would <br />be your chance to do this. This is a preliminary for discussion purposes. <br /> <br />Nancy Baker: If we want to get someone to help make a plan, would that take extra money or would that need to be <br />budgeted? <br /> <br />Alice Gordon: Yes. It would need to be budgeted. <br /> <br />Karen Lincoln: If you want a consultant to help we would need to look into this further. <br /> <br />Pat Strong: We have the framework already. <br /> <br />Karen Lincoln: The MPO has indicated they will be doing their Comprehensive Transportation Plan with their 2035 <br />long range transportation plan. My thoughts are they are only concerned with the part of Orange County that is within <br />the MPO boundaries. From an RPO standpoint NCDOT is doing the Rural Comprehensive Plan. Pat and I have
