Approved 11/17/10 3 Karen Lincoln advised that next spring/summer the County will submit a priority list (as the first step in the next update 110 of the TIP) and the TIP update process should be a regular two year schedule after adoption of the 2011-2020 TIP. 111 She noted the last couple of TIP cycles have been unusual. She noted the 2011-2020 TIP should be adopted by the 112 Board in July or August 2011. 113 114 Paul Guthrie noted, in Orange County according to the list, almost all of the money is going into the interstate system. 115 Karen Lincoln added there has been much regarding removing large “statewide” projects such as interstates from the 116 equity formula as those large projects leave little to no funds for needed local projects. The General Assembly has 117 created a new Mobility Fund funding source. The TAC received a report and a request for comment regarding two 118 mechanisms to rank projects to be funded with Mobility funds. The first method gives criteria to determine projects 119 based on need and the other set of criteria is based on analysis of cost/ benefit. The Metropolitan Planning 120 Organization (MPO) directed staff to work with the TAC Chair and Vice Chair to draft a letter with its comments. (The 121 MPO has provided comments in two previous rounds of input into the process for selecting projects for mobility funds 122 and a lot of those comments have been incorporated.) 123 124 Karen Lincoln and the OUTBoard reviewed a handout of the Orange County portion of the Draft STIP for Division 7, 125 showing the funded and proposed projects from NCDOT. Nancy Baker requested that the Board review the list and 126 also visit the website over the next few weeks and then revisit it at the November meeting. 127 128 VII. Board Comments/Updates 129 130 Karen Lincoln advised CAMPO and DCHC MPO are looking at holding a regional workshop for citizen members of 131 bicycle/pedestrian transportation committees, and are wondering what the interest may be. The two MPOs had one in 132 the past and staff is trying to organize a regional meeting. They are asking for interest and would like to know how 133 many people may attend. Karen noted they are looking at January 14, 28, or February 11, 2011, so she would like the 134 Board to consider which would work best. Jeff Charles and Nancy Baker indicated they would be interested and any of 135 those dates would be fine and morning meetings are preferred to afternoon meetings. 136 Karen Lincoln advised the UDO Open House will be on November 17 from 5:30 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. and the OUTBoard 137 is welcome to come. The OUTBoard meeting will be held across the hall that night. 138 139 Karen Lincoln invited the OUTBoard members to join her for a Lunch and Learn on Thursday, November 18th 140 sponsored by Triangle Get Ready, which is an electric transportation initiative that involves Duke Energy. Major car 141 manufacturers will begin to release plug in electric vehicles beginning in late 2010 and they feel it is important to inform 142 local areas what is being done in the Triangle to prepare for electric vehicles. The meeting will be at Duke Energy 143 Operation Center at 11:30 a.m. and will end at 1:30 p.m. and they request an RSVP by November 12. Karen will 144 forward the notice to all the members and anyone interested can attend. 145 146 Karen Lincoln advised that the Board of County Commissioners did remove Mr. Tillman from the OUTBoard at their 147 last meeting. She advised that the Board of County Commissioners will consider appointing new members on 148 November 4th, and noted the Planning Board and Commission for the Environment had volunteers for consideration by 149 the BOCC. Karen Lincoln asked for recommendation for a Hillsborough Township Representative to the OUTBoard 150 and advised that Dan Barker, who was a member on the Orange Transportation Services Board (prior to it becoming a 151 staff board) and was also on the train station committee, was interested and had applied for the position. The 152 OUTBoard recommended Dan Barker for consideration by the BOCC as the Hillsborough Township Representative to 153 the OUTBoard by consensus. 154 155 VIII. Adjournment 156 157 There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. 158 159 ___________________________________ Nancy Baker, Chair
