22 . , ;. 1 Chair Jacobs suggested getting the information that is within the County's control. He 2 said that one of the things that was agreed upon was to spin off a 501(c)3 that would take 3 ownership of all of this. The next step would be to constitute a board for the 501(c)3, which 4 would include elected officials. 5 Noah Rannells said that there is a suggestion by the consultant in the feasibility report 6 for a management entity. 7 Commissioner Gordon changed her motion to approve the Manager's recommendation 8 as stated above, and add that the Manager come back with a report by the end of November 9 that outlines revenues, expenditures, and the alternatives for determining the value of the 10 building and to proceed.

C. 21 State Bar, and within six months of appointment, be a member of the Judicial District 15B Bar. 22 ~ Chair Jacobs asked if this would be a good place to mention the issues related to the 23 Sheriff's duties and the civil matters related. This was raised by the consultant as a question, 24 so it might be a question for an attorney. He suggested the following language, and Geof 25 Gledhill concurred: Be conversant with the role the Sheriff has in County government. 26 The Clerk said that she would go through the documents and make the corrections and 27 send it back to the consultant as soon as possible.

Resolutions Approving the Orange County Transportation Priority Lists for the 31 2011-2017 Transportation Improvement Program 32 The Board considered resolutions endorsing priority transportation projects for the 2011- 33 2017 Transportation Improvement Program. 34 Transportation Planner Karen t_incoln said that every two years Orange County 35 endorses its transportation priority projects. There are two lists -one for the Metropolitan 36 Planning Organization and one for the Rural Planning Organization. The two lists were in the 37 agenda packet. She said that when the County Commissioners endorsed the previous priority 38 lists, staff was asked to look at three things for the next update. One of them was to consider 39 including an access for eastbound US 70 to the I-85/US 70 connector instead of realignment of 40 Efland-Cedar Grove Road to perform a more direct connection of I-85. This was the 41 recommendation of the Efland-Mebane Small Area Plan. The OUT Board agreed that this 42 would be a more feasible access than realignment of Efland-Cedar Grove Road. This is 43 reflected in the recommendation. 44 The second project was to stop the NC 86 North improvements at NC 57. The OUT 45 Board indicated that the traffic was bad enough so that the improvements should not be 46 stopped at NC 57. This was not. recommended. 47 The third project were the Homestead Road improvements, because part of the 48 improvements had been completed in a Moving Ahead project, and also include the Carrboro 49 portion of Homestead Road. The OUT Board also agreed that the project should extend from 50 old NC 86 to new NC 86.
