He said he contacted <br />this person and listened to his concerns, and the rest of the Board is invited to do the same. <br />Commissioner Burroughs said the Family Success Alliance (FSA) applied to the Kenan <br />Charitable Trust and received $300,000 over three years, which is a huge win. <br />Chair Dorosin echoed Commissioner McKee's request about the Keith Arboretum <br />issues, and also requested an update on what Orange County has already done, and what are <br />the enforcement steps that may or may not need to be taken. <br />Chair Dorosin clarified that Commissioner Jacobs reported that the BRT is not <br />recommended to go to Durham Tech. <br />Commissioner Jacobs said that is correct. He said he voiced that Durham Tech and the <br />hospital have expansion plans, and the numbers being used for projections are from 2013. He <br />said the current projection was 50 additional riders, as the cost of $500,000 and thus it was not <br />recommended. He said the numbers will change as some of these projects come on line. <br />Chair Dorosin said to make sure the most current numbers are being used, and that <br />Durham Tech is a part of the conversation. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Price, seconded by Commissioner Rich to add <br />the OWASA appointment as 4 -i, since there is someone from the public that has signed up to <br />speak on this item. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />4.
