He said he wanted to know what types of data streams are going to be used. He <br /> 30 said this needs to be Orange County's Plan, and specific to Orange County. <br /> 31 Travis Myren said they will look at all of the commuter data, and there are existing <br /> 32 transportation models they will be using, along with SPOT the scoring plan and it will be based <br /> 33 on local needs with a regional component. <br /> 34 Commissioner McKee said his concern is that like the consultant they used for the <br /> 35 impact fees. He said Orange County needs concrete information that is data backed, and not <br /> 36 going to shift to and fro, so it can create a plan for Orange County and regional needs too. He <br /> 37 said he does not want data that gives a false picture. <br /> 38 Travis Myren said it will be fiscally constrained. <br /> 39 Commissioner Marcoplos said there will be a lot of local input, and he is confident that <br /> 40 they will get data provided locally. <br /> 41 Commissioner Greene said she is curious about Commissioner McKee's concern. She <br /> 42 said he is saying the County wants everything based on data and he wanted data that does not <br /> 43 change, but if the plan changes, so will the data. She said different options will have different <br /> 44 sets of data. <br /> 45 Commissioner Price said in the contract, under Article I, Scope of Work, item 1.1.1, <br /> 46 what is to be inserted in "type of work" and by whom; and In Article 8, Amendments to the <br /> 47 Agreement, item, what is to be inserted there and by whom. <br /> 48 John Roberts said the 2017 Orange County Transit Plan-as to type of work and any <br /> 49 amendments would have to be executed by whoever signs the original agreement and that <br /> 50 would be the County Manager. <br />
