M 09 <br /> Ephesus Church Road area to Meadowmont, then to Mason Farm and the <br /> Friday Center area , south of 54 , across the bypass up to UNC , around <br /> Manning Drive and onto the hospital . <br /> Fortmann asked where the funding is coming from . Bonk reported that it is <br /> jointly funded by the State , Durham - Chapel Hill Triangle Transit Authority, <br /> and Duke and Chapel Hill universities . <br /> Fortmann asked that if there is regional transportation in this area is it the <br /> MPO that will do it or are there other organizations responsible ? Bonk replied <br /> that ultimately it is the MPO . The MIS is being done under the auspicious of <br /> the MPO . <br /> Fortmann wrapped up noting that the way for a citizen or commission to get <br /> input to the MPO is through our representative on the MPO . Bonk said that is <br /> correct and that Commissioner Alice Cordon 15 Orange County representative . <br /> Karen Lincoln is the County planning staff representative . Each municipality <br /> also has a representative . Saunders noted that all MPO meetings are open to <br /> the public and occur the second Wednesday of each month at 9 : 00 in the <br /> Durham Committee Meeting Room . He encouraged CfE members to contact <br /> him with any questions via email . <br /> VM Lands Legacy Action Plan 2001 = 2002 <br /> Stancil reviewed a memo to the CfE related to the 2001 - 02 action plan for the <br /> Lands Legacy program and CfE input for developing that plan . CfE members <br /> were asked to consider new land acquisition/ protection projects for the <br /> upcoming fiscal year . The focus areas for the CfE should be on natural areas , <br /> wildlife habitat , riparian corridors , parks , walking trails and other open space <br /> proposals . The CfE should adopt recommendations at the November <br /> meeting . The draft action plan will be provided to the BOCC mid - December <br /> for their annual retreat . <br /> It was suggested that since the Biological Resources Committee is most <br /> knowledgeable of priority conservation areas that they might come up with <br /> initial recommendations and report to the full CfE in November for discussion <br /> and adoption . CfE members approved of that process and discussed what <br /> areas of jurisdiction could be included , the possible purchase of floodplains <br /> and riparian buffers , recent conservation easements , available funds , and the <br /> preservation of parkland and natural areas . <br /> DRAFT CFE 10/09 /00 Minutes Page 8 of 10 <br /> L :\Carol\CFEMIN\OCT2000CFErevised by rich. doc <br />
