He said his only concern would be that GoTriangle or <br /> 16 DCHC-MPO would have a larger say than the County. <br /> 17 Travis Myren said neither the GoTriangle Board, nor the DCHC-MPO Board, would have <br /> 18 appointed representatives. <br /> 19 Chair Rich said the final vote is between GoTriangle, the MPO and Orange County; the <br /> 20 towns are on the Steering Committee, but are not involved in the final vote. <br /> New Transit Plan Framework <br /> • $hprt Term Plgming tFVZpt <br /> !Nr nm�.v Csmww W F•wy+wYOepsww <br /> i G h,Tr Punnwn piu 6mp <br /> - CrwmYPo'gnrn•w axr•aY <br /> 2 Wdeb d funnel Melts,Re1HFIe MR Eipen &Pftjmax <br /> - �^lfx••vwier^rP <br /> 8.

He said it would be a good idea <br /> 24 to publicize this progress. <br /> 25 Travis Myren said staff has a one-page info-graphic that can be published for the public. <br /> 26 Commissioner Dorosin agreed, and said there is still a transit plan in place, which is <br /> 27 moving forward. <br /> 28 Chair Rich asked if this information is on the County's website. <br /> 29 Travis Myren said GoTriangle has the report on its website. <br /> 30 Commissioner McKee said not to forget that getting to this point wasted millions, which <br /> 31 could have been spent on the current plan. He said it is vital not to forget this waste. <br /> 32 <br /> 33 PUBLIC COMMENT <br /> 34 Riley Ruske said he is thankful for Commissioner McKee's comments. He said he <br /> 35 understands the discussion, but does not understand the cost benefit to the residents. He said <br />
