6 <br /> department don't fully appreciate the genuine and indisputable value of our water and perhaps, <br /> other natural resources—if they did, Buc-ee's would never have gotten the first green light. <br /> So we don't go down the same (Beaver) trail, I respectfully ask that you hang onto the reins and <br /> give specific direction and guidance to both the Planning Board and the Planning Department <br /> on how to meaningfully engage Orange County citizens so that our county's resources are <br /> appropriately used for the good of the community and protected, as necessary. Perhaps some <br /> joint training with the Commission for the Environment (CFE) should be considered for the <br /> planners and citizens, alike. <br /> b. Matters on the Printed Agenda <br /> (These matters will be considered when the Board addresses that item on the agenda below.) <br /> 3. Announcements, Petitions and Comments by Board Members <br /> Commissioner Greene said the Broadband Task Force, which she and Commissioner <br /> McKee are co-chairing, has met once and will meet again on March 17, 2021. She said a <br /> member of the task force is helping the committee examine grants and other funding sources. <br /> She said the task force will meet every two weeks. <br /> Commissioner Greene said the transit policy committee, which she and Commissioner <br /> Dorosin are co-chairing, has completed Phase 1 of planning, which involves examining the <br /> landscape and receiving public engagement. She said the next steps are to examine how <br /> much revenue is projected for is Article 43 sales tax, and determining the priorities, in order to <br /> present back to the public. She said through 2025, revenue to support extra transit projects is <br /> very constrained, under $1 million per year. She said from 2025 to 2035, the tax revenue will <br /> increase to $4.8 million annually. She said after 2035, tax revenue will increase to $8 million <br /> annually. She said, for perspective, a bus rapid transit system costs between $12 and $80 <br /> million per mile. She said the policy committee determined that the 2017 plan is good, except <br /> that it lacks connectivity to Durham County, due to light rail no longer being an option. She said <br /> the policy committee is looking at a bus connector to Durham, or other type of rapid transit <br /> connector, depending on the available budget. She said when the draft plan goes back for <br /> public comment, the policy committee will consider other ideas for meeting underserved areas <br /> of the County; however, revenue for the next several years will continue to be constrained. She <br /> said the transit policy committee will meet with the Durham County Board of Commissioners to <br /> discuss connection between the counties. <br /> Commissioner Greene said she and Commissioner Bedford attended the Family <br /> Success Alliance (FSA) meeting, and she chaired the Area Agency on Aging board meeting in <br /> the past week. She said both boards discussed how partner organizations are doing. She said <br /> one partner, Volunteers for Youth, needs mentors for ages 8-14. She said the goal of <br /> Volunteers for Youth is to keep young people out of the teen court program. She said at the <br /> Area Agency on Aging meeting, she learned about direct care providers, and that there is a <br /> shortage of workers in that field due to low wages. She said 40%of these workers are <br /> undocumented. She said the takeaway is that some of our community are doing fine, <br /> pandemic or not, but many in the community are just hanging on. She read a quote attributed <br /> to several people, "Be kind to everyone, for everyone you meet is facing a great battle." <br /> Commissioner McKee thanked Commissioner Greene for the comments for the <br /> Broadband Task Force. He said there is interest from state legislators for addressing the <br /> broadband needs in the community, and he has hope for moving forward. <br /> Commissioner Bedford said she attended the Partnership to End Homelessness <br /> meeting, which involves many agencies in the community. She said the committee is doing a <br /> significant amount of work on racial equity training. <br />
