November 13, 2012 Mr. Mike Downs, Manager Cabarrus County P. O. Box 707 Concord, North Carolina 28026 SUBJECT: 2013 appointments to the Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC) and the Technical Coordinating Committee (TCC) of the Cabarrus -Rowan Urban Area Metropolitan Planning Organization ( CRMPO) Dear Mr. Downs, Each year the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) requires the MPO to supply a list of current TAC and TCC representatives along with their alternates. At present, Commissioner Elizabeth Poole is the appointed member and Commissioner Larry Burrage serves as the alternate to represent Cabarrus County on the TAC. Jonathan Marshall is currently the TCC representative and Susie Morris is the alternate. Please notify the MPO as to who will serve in 2013 as your designated appointees to the TAC, as well as the TCC (staff) appointee and alternate. The TAC and TCC appointees must be available to attend regular monthly meetings and also participate on regional transportation planning committees. Attendance at the meetings is critical to the success of our planning efforts and to bring information back to their respective communities. A schedule of the meetings will be sent to your designated representative. As most of the current TCC and TAC members are aware, a new requirement has been added to serving as a member or alternate of the TCC and TAC by the NC General Assembly in 2012. TCC and TAC members are subject to provisions of the NC State Government Ethics Act, Chapter 138A of the NC General Statutes. There are two specific requirements: 1) State of Economic Interest (SEI) application (included), and Ethics Education provided by the State Ethics Commission. (Local government education does not satisfy this requirement.) The SEI must be filed by April 15, 2013 and the Education must be completed by June 30, 2013 and can be fulfilled online or at a Distance Education site. (A.L. Brown High School is the most convenient location.) MPO staff is available to answer any questions or provide any assistance with this new added process. Please provide current contact information for your selected individuals to include mailing address, telephone number, fax number and e-mail address to Connie Cunningham at the CRMPO office by January 7, 2013. You may email your Information to ccunningham @mblsolution.com or mail to Connie Cunningham, Cabarrus Rowan MPO, 135 Cabarrus Avenue East, Concord, NC 28025 Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, Phd Conrad Phil Conrad Cabarrus Rowan MPO Director Enclosures Attachment number 2 F -2 Page 75
