New Business ITEM 1: Nominate and establish chair and vice chair positions for the year. ITEM 2: The Person County Board of Commissioners accepted Kim Adcock onto the TAB Board during the January 6, 2025 meeting. She was accepted to fill the health department position on the board. Since that meeting she has resigned her post with the county thus resigning her membership on our board. It is recommended that the board officially accepts her resignation. ITEM 3: Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects people from discrimination based on race, color, and national origin in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance. The Title VI plan is a requirement of the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and NCDOT. The purpose for the plan is to ensure nondiscriminatory transportation. Furthermore, using census data, it set thresholds for the requirement of second language literature. We have updated our Title VI plan, last approved in April 2022, using the template provided by NCDOT and the most current census data. The plan must be updated every three years. It is recommended that the board approve the Title VI plan and send it to the Board of Commissioners for their approval at the March 17, 2025 meeting.
