I have lived in cities with public transportation available to all at a low cost, and in places where residents must be car-dependent. I do not have experience specifically in transportation planning, but I have lived in several different parts of Orange County and have used the roads and various types of public transportation for nearly 20 years. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I have always had an interest in how cities plan for adequate transportation, and in the logistics and management of public transportation. Though I don t think there is a simple solution, I don t believe our County has quite maximized opportunities for providing public transportation to residents. I would appreciate the opportunity to know more about the needs of the County, and to develop careful plans to improve transportation in the future. Traffic, and the associated noise and pollution, is an ongoing and increasing problem in Hillsborough. Conflict of Interest: Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: I live off of a major road in just outside of Hillsborough, and would be completely landlocked if I didn t have a car. I would prefer to bike and use public transit, but safety and lack of availability are ongoing barriers. I would be happy to learn more about transportation challenges, and to hear and represent the needs of my neighbors in Orange County. 8 Page 2 of 2 Jamie Crandell Other Comments: This application was current on:10/24/2020 9:13:36 AM Date Printed:10/26/2020 9 Volunteer Application Orange County Advisory Boards and Commissions Tom Gray Page 1 of 2 Home Address:2513 Miller Rd Township of Residence: Hillsborough Zone of Residence:County Ethnic Background:white Gender Identity:Male Phone:919-280-1084 Email:tom.gray@kimley-horn.com Name: Tom Gray Boards/Commissions applied for: Hillsborough NC 27278 Name Called: Year of OC Residence:2017 Community Activities/Organizational Memberships: Chapel Hill Stormwater Department Stream Clean-up and Monitoring Volunteer Ellerbe Creek Watershed Association Water Management Committee Volunteer Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards: None Age Range:35-59 Hillsborough Planning Board Background, education and experience relevant to this board: As a civil engineer, I am familiar with engineering and planning activities associated with balancing the demands of development, budget and asset management, and natural resources preservation.

I have BS in Civil Engineering from the University of Notre Dame and a MS in Environmental Engineering from UNC Chapel Hill. I also pursued a Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering from UNC Chapel Hill which I did not complete. During the Masterâ€™s course work I was a student of many professors, including Dan Okun, who have been instrumental over the years in guiding OWASAâ€™s policy and technical practices. I previously served on the OWSA Board as one of the Orange County Representatives from May, 2012 through September, 2015 and in that capacity served as Secretary and Vice Chair. I needed to resign from my reappointment to the second three-year term in October, 2015 due to the travel and technical challenges of a new job that I took on. I am now in a position where those are no longer a consideration and I will be able to resume the responsibilities of an OWASA Board Member. During my service on the OWASA Board, as I am sure that Ed Kerwin and my fellow Board members would attest, I contributed significantly in all matters that came before the Board. Most of my years of engineering practice have been centric to water supply and wastewater 14 Page 2 of 4 Michael Hughes engineering principally as a design consultant. Since taking on the new position at CDP, Inc.

Mr. Hughes returned to graduate school during the calendar year of 1990 to pursue advanced studies in environmental engineering at the University of North Carolina. During this year he took graduate level courses in the Mathematics Department and the Department of Environmental Engineering. The focus of these studies was directed toward gaining an understanding of the mathematics and architecture of three-dimensional finite element groundwater and contaminant transport modeling software. As a result of these efforts, he obtained computational experience optimizing a three-dimensional finite element groundwater flow modeling code and adapting the code to the parallel processing architecture on Convex and Cray supercomputers. After earning his Masterâ€™s Degree in Environmental Engineering in 1978, Mr. Hughes worked for Malcolm Pirnie, Inc. until 1990 in the various capacities listed below.

Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards: N/A Boards/Commissions applied for: Orange Unified Transportation Board Background, education and experience relevant to this board: Specifically, I can create tremendous value for Orange Unified Transportation Board in three nuanced ways: First, I understand identifying and approaching professionals for cooperative partnerships is usually much more than just talk ing numbers and market factors. I am cognizant of the economic, personal, political, and public perception im plications a deal can have. Through m y own negotiations, I have learned about the importance of timing, and empathy within any deal. While working with the board I plan to use my strong interpersonal skills to work effectively with board mem bers and community partners to accomplish our goals. Second, I have practical experience on how deals are found, developed, and completed. I understand the various types of value advantages a deal can produce. Beyond the scope of the law, I can read and build pro-forma breakeven analysis charts, cash flow projections, and have a working concept of some corporate financing tools. Through the Entrepreneur Lab class (Spring 2017 Section), I will gain more hands-on experience working with start-up founders, growth executives, and venture capitalists. This work will advise me on how we can better foster these relationships and growths going forward in the planning of Orange County.

Third, I understand how enthusiasm is essential and contagious in the work place; it breathes life into everything. As a successful door-to-door insurance salesman, I learned the value of enthusiasm combined with the habit of happily doing more than you are asked can create previously nonexistent opportunities. I plan to bring these two habits to my membership on the board, and keep momentum up. I desire to be on the Orange Unified Transportation Board, because of the Orange Countyâ €™s emphasis on innovation, and growth over the next twenty years.

I am determined to be successful despite growing up with two parents who suffer from drug addictions. I have overcome spending my middle school years living in a crack house with m y little brother John. After raising my brother in that environment for nearly two years, my house was raided by SWAT and we were placed in a Child Protective Services (CPS) group home. The group home was toxic, we were abused, and no one expected us to succeed. However, I learned that you need to be aware of the opportunities that exist through creative application of rules and regulations. CPS allocates funds per child for living expenses, and by leveraging CPSâ€™s resources in combination with private scholarships, we were able to get out of the group home for the summers. Fortunately, my brother received three scholarships to attend a summer camp in the Adirondack Mountains.
