Other commissioners responded in the meeting. One commissioner said the decision should be left to Chair Paisley and cautioned against pressuring an elected official; that speaker said Paisley was elected by county voters and should decide his status. Chair Paisley addressed the board remotely and said he is working with Duke University on his health. \"I'm working with Duke University, and they hope to continue to, improve my health status,\" Paisley said, and he thanked Commissioner Steve (surname not specified in the transcript) for presiding when he is absent.

Commissioners emphasized the need for the full five-member board to attend and the operational responsibilities of the chair, such as leading meetings and signing documents, but the board took no formal action at the Sept. 2 meeting to change leadership or request a temporary replacement. The topic arose during the commissioners' comments portion of the meeting and remained a discussion item; no vote or directive was recorded.","During commissioner comments Sept. 2, Commissioner Thompson urged Chair Paisley to consider temporarily stepping down because of recent absences; other commissioners differed, and Chair Paisley said he is working with Duke University on his health and expressed appreciation for colleagues covering duties.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_46":92,"_48":93,"_50":94,"_52":95,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":96,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":97,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6477787,"Board approves consent agenda including authorization for surveillance vehicles; commissioners ask about purpose",118,496000,614000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5711277-78493946d7b3a49fb570fd43ee346beb&start=496&end=614","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5711277-78493946d7b3a49fb570fd43ee346beb/thumbnail_496000.jpg","/articles/6477787/Alamance-County/North-Carolina/Board-approves-consent-agenda-including-authorization-for-surveillance-vehicles-commissioners-ask-about-purpose","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6477787-c3471f95d772b3711d3f565a85e3a56a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771057514&Signature=KPvT8RC~zi~SdmKU39PHWD2eTPS44x1la2UChqbI47W-AOM3l0~6LxmvO6JZZ-MwMs2zbUMS9~gRqxagwZe0p0ZLhvWC-Xcf88FDcKxvGMYx2dAAHZeZtKPkUPAjbiHR2aZER~M6VhWs8UNOjT6vZgoJzvoRlbPXTp57OoGBRiOHaeOdAy7BGUGU3Xmj6q9MG3IFUfGFdBmbi0lM6e0QXU7F5rX1X8pNG~CtYSnt08QHHPliyKzMgoMvFID9RzrFDb67EeHqilcRNa9MUdg1UJMd57ipfnFyfWlZefAQHh8utyv~-ldhFdUUpmIxCjxbATCExU0g4NBTfIM~w3Nomg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Alamance County Board of Commissioners approved the consent agenda unanimously at its Sept. 2 meeting.

The county-run authority plans a software rollout that NCDOT is funding fully; Murphy said the new platform will allow riders to book same-day trips, receive calls or texts with pickup windows and to track vehicles in real time. \"The service should improve quite dramatically because the software is so much better than what we've had in the past,\" Murphy said during public comment. ACTA reported about 66,000 passenger trips this year, a 13% increase from last year, Murphy said.

Under the plan described to commissioners, the initial Oct. 1 microtransit zones will connect neighborhoods in Graham and Haw River with key destinations including Alamance Community College's main campus, the Dillingham Center, Walmart and Graham Hopedale, and will link to other regional transit services. Murphy said the $2 rider fare for microtransit trips will be covered by federal and state grant funds that also paid for the software. He said additional zones are planned to begin service Jan. 1.

Commissioner Thompson praised the effort and cited local senior-services interest; she said Catherine Walsh had \"been all fired up\" about the project. Chair Paisley also thanked Murphy and said the county appreciates the work. Murphy invited questions from the board and said the software deployment would be complete Sept. 15.

No formal action or vote was required of the board on the update; Murphy delivered the item during the public comment portion of the Sept. 2 meeting.","Peter Murphy, executive director of the Alamance County Transportation Authority, told commissioners Sept. 2 that ACTA received a Mobility for Everyone Everywhere (ME) grant and will deploy new software and start microtransit service Oct. 1 in Graham and Haw River with a $2 fare; software rollout completes Sept. 15.","actionData","errors"]
