UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN FUNDING RECOMMENDATIONS:
Assistant County Manager, Katherine Cathey recalled that Person County received
$7,670,470 in American Rescue Plan Act (ARP) funding. On June 20, 2022, the Board of
Commissioners approved a Grant Project Ordinance applying all of the project
expenditures to salary and benefits for the Sheriff’s Department, Emergency
Communications, Emergency Medical Services (EMS), and the Parks and Recreation
Department. The supplanted funds (salary and benefits expenditures) will be available in
the General Fund for allocation by the Board. To date, the Board has set aside $2.75 million
in ARP funding for broadband infrastructure expansion, $82,110 for installing wheelchair
and cargo lifts in the Kirby Cultural Arts Center, and $397,239 for the digital imaging of
records in the Register of Deeds Office, leaving a remaining uncommitted balance of
$4,441,121.
Ms. Cathey noted at the September 6, 2022 Board meeting, the Board requested
staff to bring updated recommendations back for the Board’s consideration on this date.
She said staff has re-evaluated the proposed projects and considered other possible uses for
the County’s ARP funds. The following projects are recommended for funding based on
the feedback received from the Board and staff over the past month. Ms. Cathey noted
since the Board’s agenda packet was distributed, staff made a change related to the Energy
Savings project to reduce the funding by $1M to move into the North Park Speculative
Manufacturing Building project, which would be designated for general economic
development, rather than that specific purpose.

Project Department Funding
Energy Savings
Installation of new windows in the County Office Building (COB)
(built in 1964) and Person High School (built in 1967) to
increase energy efficiency. Both of these facilities were built
when the average electricity cost was less than 1 cent per Kwh.
Today’s cost is in the 10-11 cent range. The COB electricity bill
for August 2022 was approximately $5,000, while the bill for the
same number of Kwh’s in 1965 would have been $500. A normal
bill for the high school during the school year is approximately
$25,000/month. Energy savings, improved building appearance,
and improved comfort for building occupants. Priority is
recommended for the COB at this time.
General
Services
$1,441,121
Accessible Playground
Installation of one universal/ADA playground at Huck Sansbury
Park for an inclusive play area; an expressed need by the
community.
Recreation,

$250,000
Kirby Theater Accessibility Improvements
Installation of full-service elevator ($350,000), accessible
restrooms in the lobby ($200,000), and an additional doorway
($50,000). The Kirby Cultural Arts Complex is one of the most-
used facilities within Person County. It provides citizens with
access to arts and other programming and spaces for private
rentals. The facility’s usage, along with associated revenues and
economic impact, suffers due to a lack of ADA accessibility and
safety and liability risks created by old equipment and systems.
Recreation,
Arts and Parks
$535,337
Spay, Neuter & Microchip Program
Low-cost spay, neuter and microchip program for county
residents. Requested funding supports the program for three
years.
Animal
Services
$125,000
North Park Speculative Manufacturing Building
The goal of the project is to bolster recruitment efforts with new
manufacturing space, taking advantage of heightened economic
development opportunities considering North Carolina and the
Triangle Region for manufacturing operations. The annual carry
cost for a speculative building is approximately $325,000. The
funding would enable the County to enter into an agreement to
lease the building for up to three years while it is marketed to
companies.
Economic
Development
$2,000,000
$4,351,458
Ms. Cathey further noted, at this time, the proposals below are not recommended
for ARP funding. These projects all have value and may be considered for future funding
through other sources.

Community Risk Reduction Program
Community Risk Reduction (CRR) is a process in which the
risks a community faces are studied and then a plan is put
into place to address those risks. Emergency Services and
the Office of the Fire Marshal are in a unique position to

$5,595,570
Ms. Cathey stated the Interim County Manager recommended that the Board
consider the proposed projects and allocate ARP funding.
Commissioner Palmer asked staff for a site selected for the Splash Pad, if approved
to which staff stated the site options would include the Huck Sansbury Park and the
Sportsplex as both sites have parking, utilities and infrastructure to support this type of
facility to be added.
Commissioner Gentry asked for more information related to the Community Risk
Reduction Program; Emergency Services Director, Thom Schwalenberg stated the
Emergency Services Department and the Fire Marshal’s Office already implement public
outreach and education and the Community Risk Reduction Program would enhance the
current outreach program with a plan to address needs with lesser costs solutions on the
system and services but would include additional personnel to carry out the plan. Mr.
Schwalenbeg stated the net result would be ultimately healthier lives with reduced stress
on the system. He said Person County has a continual increase of call volume and such a
program could reduce the unit utilization by 25%.
Commissioner Puryear asked the Recreation, Arts, and Parks Director, John Hill,
which projects relate to safety and liability concerns for the Kirby Transformation; Mr. Hill
stated accessibility needs projects do not trigger other facility updates noting accessible
restrooms are an issue as well as accessibility to all levels of the Kirby facility. Mr. Hill
also addressed questions related to the Splash Pad noting support areas would be needed
for the facility, i.e., bathrooms, lockers, seating areas.
Chairman Powell stated he appreciated all public feedback noting the department
heads did their job well, making it a hard decision for the Board. He noted a deeper dive
into utilizing the best way to benefit the most people.
Without a deadline to dedicate the ARP funds, Commissioner Gentry suggested the
Board have a work session dedicated for further discussion around the proposed ARP
projects. It was the consensus of the Board to have a special meeting for this purpose and
asked the Clerk to the Board to poll the board for possible meeting dates.
Commissioner Gentry asked Ms. Cathey how much has the county spent to date on
broadband expansion to which Ms. Cathey stated the County invested in the public towers
and allowed RiverStreet Networks to attach its equipment. In addition, Ms. Cathey noted
Person County has invested in a fiber network with leverage for future expansion. She
noted the GIS department was working on developing maps to compare data to better
identify areas in the county to focus on additional broadband accessibility.

Ms. Cathey said the County shall spend opioid settlement funds on opioid
remediation activities either under Option A or Option B, as detailed in the MOA. Each
county receiving opioid settlement funds must hold at least one public meeting annually
with all municipalities in the county invited in order to receive input as to proposed uses
of the funds and to encourage collaboration between local governments both within and
beyond the county. Without any additional strategic planning beyond the annual public
meeting, the county may spend opioid settlement funds from the list of High-Impact Opioid
Abatement Strategies (MOU Exhibit A). The County may choose to participate in
additional voluntary, collaborative, strategic planning and spend opioid settlement funds
from the broader list of categories found in Exhibit B of the MOU, which contains all the
initial opioid remediation strategies listed in the National Settlement Agreement.
Ms. Cathey recommended the formation of an Opioid Settlement Advisory
Committee. The Committee would be appointed by the Board of Commissioners and
charged with the following:
discuss opioid-related health concerns and issues impacting the residents of Person
County;
advise the Board of Commissioners on options to expend funds to remedy opioid
impacts;
plan and host an annual meeting open to the public to receive input on proposed
uses of the settlement funds and to encourage collaboration between local
governments.
Ms. Cathey stated staff seeks direction from the Board on:
the appropriate entities or areas of expertise that should be represented on the
Committee;
the number of at-large residents that should serve on the Committee;
the total number of members the Committee should include; and
any other details regarding the establishment of the Committee.
Ms. Cathey presented the suggest composition of the Opioid Settlement Advisory
Committee as below:

and make formal appointments in January 2023.
When asked about a 13-member committee being workable for this purpose, Health
Director, Janet Clayton stated in her experience, the representatives understood the
expectations and she has always tried to have the best fit to accomplish the goal.
Chairman Powell asked if a salaried position would be needed to which Ms. Cathey
stated staff has not discussed nor proposed that possibility noting the funds has specific
funding restrictions for remediation activities for direct services.

Person County Opioid Settlement Advisory Committee, and authorize the Clerk to the
Board to solicit membership applications.
