Approved 10/20/10 2 to a decrease in workforce which has resulted in work being reassigned and increases in work loads. The Board 56 noted that if this new process was put in place they would not be able to review and/or approve the minutes/quick 57 notes prior to them being sent to the Clerk’s office. It was suggested that a statement be sent to the BOCC regarding 58 the OUTBoard view on this policy. 59 60 Motion was made by Sam Lasris that the Commissioners be advised that OUTBoard does not agree with the policy 61 of board members taking minutes, and is not in favor of assigning one of its member as minute taker. Seconded by 62 Nancy Baker 63 64 Vote: Unanimous 65 66 Jeff Charles noted that the rationale is that the OUTBoard is uncomfortable releasing unapproved draft minutes in 67 this timeframe. 68 69 70 VI. NC 54 Corridor Study Update 71 72 Karen Lincoln noted the PowerPoint in the packet. She advised that a report on the NC 54 Corridor Study was given 73 to the DCHC Metropolitan Planning Organization Transportation Advisory Committee in August and the TAC 74 released the report to all local jurisdictions for input. She noted Commissioner Gordon requested a presentation be 75 made to the Board of County Commissioners. A presentation is scheduled for the October 19, 2010, BOCC meeting. 76 The presentation will be made to the OUTBoard on October 20, 2010. 77 78 VII. Orange County Unified Development Ordinance 79 80 Karen Lincoln referred to the handouts of transportation related sections of the UDO, noting the OUTBoard had been 81 given only on the section on parking for review. The OUTBoard reviewed the handouts. The members discussed 82 Section 2.17 Vacation of Recorded Plats & Road Abandonment and the consensus was that it was confusing and 83 needs to be clearer. Karen Lincoln noted that she thinks Section 7.8 should be looked with respect to the Goals and 84 Objectives that were approved in the Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan. Karen would like to tag this 85 section for the future. 86 87 Karen Lincoln reminded the Board that the deadline for submitting comments is Monday, September 20th at 9 a.m. 88 89 Sam Lasris noted that comments will go to the BOCC as comments from the public hearing on the draft UDO and 90 then, in the future, the OUTBoard could work on recommending changes to the ordinance based on the Goals and 91 Objectives (of the Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan). 92 93 Nancy Baker asked that the members become familiar with this section and asked that Tom Altieri be notified that the 94 OUTBoard would like to focus on this section. 95 96 The members noted that the general public should be able to look at the UDO and understand what it says. 97 98 99 VIII. Board Comments/Updates 100 101 Karen Lincoln informed the OUTBoard that a second round of public workshops for Triangle Regional Transit Plan 102 alternatives will be held on Thursday September 16 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Century Center in Carrboro. The 103 workshop is to obtain public input regarding which one of the six corridors, for which initial ridership projections have 104 been completed, should be used for the Alternative Analysis (AA) study. The AA will study alternatives within the 105 selected corridor in greater depth to come up with a recommended rail project for obtaining a transit “new starts” 106 grant. 107 108
