AGENDA ABSTRACT
Meeting Date: January 21, 2020
Agenda Title: Public Hearing Fiscal Year 2021 PATS Fare Increases/Fee Schedule
Summary of Information: PATS Soliciting Public Comment Policy states that changes to the
fare structure must be completed during the annual budget process and require public hearing must
be held. Since PATS is proposing major changes to contract billing and a general fare increase,
PATS would like to have the Board of Commissioners consider approving the fee schedule early
to give contract agencies and citizens’ time to take these changes into consideration for their
upcoming budgets. Staff has discussed these changes with the Transportation Advisory Board
(TAB) at its December 2019 meeting and taken the TAB board comments into consideration.
Minor adjustments to the rates have been made for contracted agencies based on discussions and
budget review had after the December 2019 TAB meeting.
Recommended Action: Conduct the public hearing and approve the attached fee schedule for
Fiscal Year 2021 to give staff time to notify contracted agencies/passengers and complete budget
projections.

Ms. DiCristina said the subject property currently contains a vacant industrial
building that is approximately 51,000 square feet and a parking lot and is zoned Residential
(R). According to Article VII Section 70 of the Person County Planning Ordinance, the
purpose of this district is to provide for single-family residential uses and compatible
development.
Ms. DiCristina noted the condition and land use of the surrounding properties are:
To the West – Woodlands zoned Residential (R).
To the North – A series of single-family dwellings Zoned Residential (R).
To the East – Woodlands zoned Rural Conservation (RC).
To the South – A solar farm zoned Rural Conservation (RC).
Ms. DiCristina further noted that the Person County Land Use Plan identifies the
proposed site as Suburban Residential. Suburban Residential is defined as:
Residential land uses including subdivisions and manufactured home parks at densities of
1-3 dwelling units per acre; commercial, office, industrial, public/institutional uses meeting
locational criteria. Locational criteria for nonresidential uses within this land use category
would include frontage and access to a major State highway or secondary road, proximity
to similar uses and spatial separation from non-compatible uses such as existing residential
development. Land uses within this category could develop with or without public sewer.
Appendix O of the Land Use Plan lists goals and objectives for the county including the
following:
2.0 Goal - Provide a strong local planning environment that supports and enhances the
economic growth potential of Person County.
2.1 Objective - Promote continued economic investment through retention and
expansion of existing industrial concerns and the recruitment of new industries and
commercial businesses.
2.2 Objective - Encourage well-planned commercial establishments to provide
necessary goods and services to area employers and residents.
Ms. DiCristina stated the applicant was requesting a general rezoning from
Residential (R) to Rural Conservation (RC) and the request was consistent with the Person
County Land Use Plan and abuts RC zoning to the east and south.
According to Article VII Section 70 of the Person County Planning Ordinance, the
purpose of the RC district shall be to provide for only limited land use controls in areas
with limited nonagricultural development.

Planning staff recommended approval of the proposed general rezoning RZ-02-19
based on the Person County Land Use Plan and the Future Land Use Map contained within
the Land Use Plan. This zoning is a general rezoning request, and therefore, no conditions
can be placed on the approval and no site plans can be approved with the request.
Ms. DiCristina stated the Board of Commissioners are required to make a motion
on the Reasonableness and Consistency statement.
Reasonableness and Consistency Statement: The request is consistent with the Person
County Land Use Plan and future planning goals of the county, is reasonable, and in the
public interest as it meets several objectives listed in the Person County Land Use Plan.

voted unanimously (6-0) to recommend approval of RZ-02-19 and also included the

project were to proceed as originally approved in the site specific
development plan; or
d. upon payment to the affected applicant and/or landowner of compensation
for all costs, expenses, and other losses incurred by the same including all

value of the subject property; or

reasonable notice and advertisement are given, that the landowner, his
successors, or any representatives intentionally supplied inaccurate
information or made material misrepresentations which alter the original
approval of the Zoning Enforcement Officer of the site specific
development plan; or
f. upon changes in state or federal law or regulation that preclude the
proposed use or development project as originally approved in the site
specific development plan. The owner and/or applicant shall have the
opportunity in this instance to submit appropriate applicable modifications
to the original site specific development plan for the Planning Board's
approval in order to allow the vested rights status for the use or
development project to remain valid.
131-4.7 136-4.7 Nothing in this ordinance shall require the Planning Board to grant a vested right
to develop in conjunction with the approval of a zoning permit. Nothing shall preclude
subsequent reviews and approvals of site specific development plans by the Board to
ensure compliance with the terms and conditions of the original approval, provided such
reviews and approvals are not inconsistent with the original approval. Nothing in this
ordinance shall prohibit the Planning Board from the revocation of the original approval

Vice Chairman Newell questioned Section 136-4.1 and read the section as follows:
Vested right status shall guarantee the right to develop according to the provisions of the
granted zoning permit and approved site specific development plan for a period up to and
including two (2) years from the date of approval. Any guaranteed right to develop period
greater than two (2) years and up to a maximum of five (5) years shall be at the discretion
of the Planning Board. Both the Planning staff as well as the County Attorney stated they
would like time to review the statute more thoroughly. Ms. DiCristina stated there were
no modifications proposed for this section, only the highlighted renumbering.
Ms. DiCristina stated the proposed amendments to the Planning Ordinance intend
to provide consistency with state statutes and clarity for those who utilize this ordinance.
Ms. DiCristina explained the amendments requested to Article VII modify the
findings of fact required for conditional use permits. The proposed findings of fact for
conditional use permits are identical to those that are used to grant special use permits per
the Person County Planning Ordinance. The proposed findings of fact for conditional use
permits will provide clarity and consistency with the special use permit findings and ensure
that adequate evidence is presented for conditional use permits.
Ms. DiCristina noted the amendments to Articles VII, X, and Appendix B amend
and add language to clarify when stoops, decks, and steps may encroach into required
setbacks as well as the amendments requested to Article XIII ensure consistency by
renumbering existing sections to correct current discrepancies.
Ms. DiCristina said the amendments requested to Article XIV modify voting
requirements for the Board of Adjustment in regards to variances, other quasi-judicial
matters, and to reverse any order, requirement, decision, or determination of an
administration officer charged with the enforcement of any provision of the Planning
Ordinance to align with current legislation.
Planning Staff recommended approval of TA-03-19. Staff is requesting minor
amendments to Article VII, X, XIII, XIV, and Appendix B, including renumbering and
16
January 6, 2020
11
definitions. This will provide consistency with the North Carolina General Statutes and
clarity for those who utilize this ordinance.
The text amendment request is consistent with the Person County Land Use Plan
and future planning goals of the county, is reasonable, and in the public interest as it meets
several objectives listed in the Person County Land Use Plan.
Ms. DiCristina noted the Planning Board, at its December 12, 2019 meeting, voted
6-0 to approve the requested text amendment TA-03-19 as proposed and also included the
following Statement of Reasonableness and Consistency: The request is consistent with the
Person County Land Use Plan and future planning goals of the county, is reasonable, and
in the public interest as it meets several objectives listed in the Person County Land Use

FIRE MARSHAL POSITION:
County Manager, Heidi York stated at the Board’s December 2, 2019 meeting,
there was agreement from the Board to reinstate a full-time Fire Marshal position as
requested by the Volunteer Fire Chiefs. Staff was directed to include the supervision of
the Fire Inspector’s work under the Fire Marshal position and bring back associated costs
for implementing this position. As previously presented, the County currently contracts
with the City of Roxboro for fire investigation services. Ms. York recommended that this
contract remain in place at this time, with the understanding that the new Fire Marshal
position will participate as an investigator in partnership with the City Fire team.
Ms. York said the job description and salary have been reviewed and updated, along
with some analysis of start-up costs associated with the position. This position would be a
classified as a Grade 68 exempt from overtime with an annual starting salary of $47,075.
For the current Fiscal Year, if the position were filled on February 1, 2020 the salary and
benefits costs would be $28,262. The start-up costs associated with this position including
a vehicle, supplies, equipment, etc. are estimated at $69,500 for a total needed from
contingency of $97,762. Currently the Contingency Fund has $131,000 available. A full
fiscal year’s cost for salary and benefits is $67,828 for the Fire Marshal position. Adding
the Fire Inspector salary and benefits ($64,000), along with all other annual operating costs,
the FY21 total operating budget would be about $185,116.
Chairman Jeffers asked staff for the unallocated funds in the Fire Tax Fund. Interim
Assistant County Manager, Laura Jensen reported there was $30,000 of unallocated
funding in the Fire Tax Fund as well as $96,348 that was allocated to the Woodsdale
Volunteer Fire Department (WVFD). EMS Director, Doug Young added approximately
$25,000 of the $96,348 has been spent for WVFD day to day operations at this time. Ms.
York stated her recommended funding source for the Fire Marshal position was
Contingency until such time the WVFD transition took place.
A motion was made by Chairman Jeffers and carried 5-0 to allocate $30,000 from
the Fire Tax Fund and supplement the remainder to fund the Fire Marshal position from
the Contingency Fund.
Vice Chairman Newell asked if the Fire Marshal job description included
enforcement authority to which Ms. York stated the Fire Marshal would supervise the Fire
Inspector position and by state statute authority to enforce local and state fire ordinance
and codes.

PERSON COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
RESOLUTION TO SUPPORT THE ACTIONS TO BECOME A MEDICAID HEALTHY
OPPORTUNITIES COMMUNITY AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF A
SOCIAL DETERMINANT’S OF HEALTH PROPOSAL TO NCDHHS
WHEREAS, the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NC DHHS) has established a
vision to transform Medicaid to improve the health of North Carolinians through an innovative, whole-
person centered, and well-coordinated system of care which addresses both medical and non-medical
drivers of health; and
WHEREAS, while access to high quality medical care is critical, research shows that up to 80 percent of a
person’s health is determined by social and environmental factors and the behaviors that emerge as a
result; and
WHEREAS, non-medical drivers of health or social determinants of health, are the conditions in which
people are born, grow, live, work and age that affect a wide range of health, functioning, and quality-of-life
outcomes and risks; and
WHEREAS, with this in mind, as part of Medicaid Transformation, NC DHHS has designed a Healthy
Opportunities Pilot program and will select geographic areas of the state to serve as pilots to test
evidence-based interventions designed to reduce costs and improve health by more intensely addressing
housing stability, transportation insecurity, interpersonal violence and toxic stress, and food insecurity for
qualifying Medicaid beneficiaries; and
WHEREAS, the Healthy Opportunities Pilot initiative can enhance the capacity of Person County human
service organizations serving the most vulnerable populations as well as improve the infrastructure and
value chain of each of the four major social determinant of health categories; and,
WHEREAS, Duke University and Duke’s Medicaid Clinically Integrated Network (CIN) is leading an effort
to submit a response to the Healthy Opportunities Pilot RFP on behalf of a seven-county region; Wake,
Durham, Franklin, Granville, Person, Vance, and Warren, collectively called WD5C; and
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, the Person County Board of County Commissioners, do hereby
support the efforts of WD5C to be awarded a Healthy Opportunities Pilot designation to be supportive of
strategies that strengthen individual, family, community and provider agencies to improve health
outcomes across our region.
ADOPTED this the 21st day of January 2020.

Proclamation
Every Litter Bit Hurts Initiative in Person County
WHEREAS, the mission of the Person County Environmental Issues Advisory Committee’s Every
Litter Bit Hurts initiative is to involve the community in responsible solutions for a clean and
beautiful environment through community awareness and public education, litter reduction,
waste reduction, and recycling; and
WHEREAS, residents of Person County are distressed by the amount of trash and litter on the
sides of the county roadways; and

tends to reduce the value of property in that neighborhood by 7‐8%; and
WHEREAS, the composition of trash and litter predominately consists of plastics, and the
plastics have a particularly harmful impact on wildlife; and
WHEREAS, the natural beauty of our county and a clean environment are sources of great pride
for all Person County residents, attracting tourists and aiding in recruiting new businesses;
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that we, the Person County Board of Commissioners, do
proclaim our support of the Every Litter Bit Hurts initiative in Person County and encourages
citizens of Person County to take an active role in making this a cleaner community.
Adopted this the 21st day of January, 2020.
