Orange County Regional Transit Issues Durham 688-7331 ATTACHMENT(S): 1. Letter from W. Bell 2. Act to Provide Quick-Take Procedures In Eminent Domain Proceedings ... PURPOSE: To receive a report from the Triangle Transit Authority (TTA) and to discuss Triangle Transit Authority's prapasal fora $4.00 increase in the vehicle registration fee in Orange County. BACKGROUND: Jim Ritchie, Executive Director of Triangle Transit Authority, and other officials with TTA will present a report to the BOCC. Materials associated with the presentation are attached. The Triangle Transit Authority (TTA) Board of Trustees is recommending two proposals to be submitted to. the N.C. General Assembly for enactment during the 2001 legislative session. The first. proposal is an act that will provide for quick-take procedures in eminent domain proceedings by a regional public transportation authority. The other proposal would allow, starting in 2004, a $4.00 increase (to the existing $5.00 fee) in the vehicle registration taxes used to fund major transit improvements. The revenue so generated will primarily fund an aggressive increase in bus services approved by the TTA Board this past year. Wake, Durham and Orange Counties must approve the fee. The attached document "Orange County Regional Transit Issues" outlines issues the Board may wish to take into account when considering TTA's request to increase vehicle registration fees in Orange County. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact to the County regarding this item at this time. However, if approved, the requested increase in vehicle registration fees may, in 2004, affect all Orange County residents who own cars or lightweight trucks. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Administration recommends that the Board receive the information and pose any questions to TTA officials prior to the Board's review, at the appropriate time, of the proposed vehicle fee registration increase. ` 4 February 12, 2001 Steve Halkiotis, Chair Orange County Board of Commissioners P. 0.8181 Hillsborough, NC 2727 Deaz Commissioner Halkiotis, Thank you for scheduling the Triangle Transit Authority presentation before the Orange County Boazd of Commissioners on Tuesday, February 20, 2001.
