NEW BUSINESS:
STORMWATER UPDATE:
Assistant County Manager, Sybil Tate stated that each year, the county’s
stormwater consultant, Ms. Henrietta Locklear, senior manager from RaftElis serving as
the county’s stormwater utility services manager, provides the Board with an update on
stormwater-related duties and activities. Person County is one of the five jurisdictions that
share costs for the stormwater utility. The other jurisdictions are Granville County, Butner,
Stem and Creedmoor.
Ms. Tate stated representatives from the Upper Neuse River Basin Association
(UNRBA) Mr. Forrest Westall, executive director and Mr. Jay Sauber, monitoring expert,
would also provide an update. The UNRBA is a coalition of local governments located
within the Falls Lake watershed. The primary objective of the Association is the
Reevaluation of the Falls Lake Rules in order to propose changes that will lessen burdens
on the member governments. In support of this effort the UNRBA is collecting and
analyzing information and data. The UNRBA is also working to develop, evaluate and
implement more cost effective and reasonable strategies to reduce, control and manage
nutrients in the watershed.
Ms. Locklear provided the following update:

Update to Board on Stormwater Utility Manager Duties and Activities
January 19, 2016
• Update Person County stormwater utility fees for annual billing. Obtain new parcel and
tax data from the County. Identify new development in the jurisdiction and ensure fees
are calculated and charged on the annual tax bill. Review applications for credit and
certify credits as needed. Create and deliver annual bill file to County. Ensure quality
control of file. Provide customer service support to County property owners as needed.
• Review and render opinions on fee appeals (fee releases). Review fee appeals from
properties in Person County as needed. Review available data, speak with customer as
needed, support County staff. Approve or deny appeal requests. As needed, participate
in further appeals of fee as needed.
• Develop existing development program. The existing development program represents
the largest liability to the County in terms of future anticipated costs for retrofits.
Owing to delays at the state level, the implementation of this program has been
slowed. In keeping with this timeline, we continue to make progress for the County.
o Developed draft loading for Person County.
Identified developments occurring from 2006 through 2012. Worked
with Planning Director to obtain relevant data for the period. Person
County had a great deal of development during the period.
Developed the model to calculate loading. Using state approved
equations, developed nitrogen and phosphorous loading for all sites.
Met with all jurisdictions to review draft methodology and results.
Developed methodology document.
Met with state in early summer on behalf of the County to review
methodology. Refined methodology based on State input. Met with
state in early September to review modified methodology.
Met with representatives from Wake County in late October to compare
methodologies, discuss outcomes.
Met with the State and representatives from Wake County in November
to discuss methodologies.
Continue to refine methodology, consult with other local governments
and the state.
o (In process) Developing plan for identifying retrofits site and activities in Person
County. Once we have agreed with the state upon methodology and results of
loading, can implement a plan to meet the loading requirements. Steps include
a study of the County’s opportunities for retrofits and cost estimates. The study
is to be a multi-jurisdictional effort so that the best, most inexpensive options
can be identified. The final results of the study will depend in part upon the
results of the Credits project of the UNRBA, since that project will identify the
available credits for certain activities. The cost per pound treated will be a factor
in the final selected retrofits.
January 19, 2016

• New development program. Provided stormwater plan reviews as needed. Kelway
Howard, PE, provides reviews for all projects in the five jurisdictions. Provided
responses to questions about Person County development as needed.
o Utility manager, plan reviewer (Mr. Howard), and attorney (Mr. Wrenn) work
together to ensure uniform application of rules across the five jurisdictions. This
includes development of a comprehensive, uniform checklist for submittals,
templates for required legal agreements, and policies regarding stormwater
agreements and application of rules. These activities provide area developers
and engineers with a clear, efficient process for developing sites in the
jurisdictions. This clear process facilitates development in the County, since
developers are aware of costs and timelines for development.
o New development annual reports. Developed and updated, as needed,
reporting format and templates for required annual reporting to state. Assisted
Person County with the completion and submittal of annual report.
o From June of 2012 through June of 2015, 9 plans in the County were reviewed
under the Falls Rules. Of these, three are implementing stormwater treatment.
Three plans have been reviewed during FY 2015-2016.
• Represent Person County in Upper Neuse River Basin Association (UNRBA). Serves as
knowledgeable technical and policy representative for the County on UNRBA technical
committees. Represents the less populous, primarily upper watershed jurisdictions,
which may have different interests than the larger jurisdictions. Represents individual
jurisdiction interests of each of the five jurisdictions where needed.
o Member of Path Forward Committee, which reviews technical work products
related to the monitoring and Credits projects and assists with setting direction
for the Association for review by the UNRBA Board.
Member of Nutrients Subcommittee which reviews the Credits project
direction
Member of the Crediting Tool Development Technical Task Force, which
reviews the development of an accounting/reporting tool being
developed for the jurisdictions by the UNRBA.
Member of Rules Comments Workgroup, which compiles comments on
the Falls Rules revisions for submittal to the state.
o Attends UNRBA board meetings (along with Person County staff).
• Develop annual work plans for Person County. Each year, develop draft budgets for
stormwater utility, including allocations to and from other jurisdictions, as applicable,
for shared staffing and other activities. Drafts are submitted to County for approval
each year.
• Presentations to board. As requested, provide updates to County board.
• Coordination activities. Convene and lead meetings for coordination of the County’s
and the other four jurisdictions’ activities and review technical and policy decisions.
Work plans and jurisdiction loading are among recent meeting topics.
January 19, 2016

o Developed and submitted coordinated comments for the five jurisdictions
regarding Falls rules revisions to the state (independent of UNRBA).
o Coordinate with staff on invoicing and payment for interjurisdictional
cooperative activities as needed.
Chairman Newell asked whether the disturbance threshold that triggers the new
development requirements of the rules had been increased from one-half acre to one-acre
noting this has been one of the areas most impacted in Person County. Ms. Locklear
confirmed this rule had not been changed but had been submitted to the state rules review
committee for consideration. Ms. Locklear noted the state process was lengthy and the
committee was tasked to complete by 2018. Commissioner Puryear requested Ms.
Locklear to provide the Board with a list of the individuals that serve on the state committee
that will be reviewing the requested rule changes.
Mr. Westall noted the implementation of the Stage 1 existing development controls
of the rules has been delayed until 2017-2018, due to a deadline postponement at the state
level, but other portions of the Stage 1 rules are currently in effect for compliance with all
nutrient loading increases as a result of development between 2006 and 2012 reduced to
2006 baseline levels.
Mr. Westall told the group that the more stringent requirement of Stage 2 targets a
further reduction of nitrogen by 40 percent and 77 percent reduction of phosphorus from
the baseline 2006 levels with a tremendous burden on municipalities in the watershed with
estimated costs greater than $1billion by 2026. Mr. Westall stated they intend to request
that Stage 2 be delayed until 2031.
Mr. Westall and Mr. Sauber reviewed how the UNRBA has undertaken a
monitoring program to provide the scientific support for a more complete evaluation of
what can be done and how the lake will respond to reductions in nutrients. This monitoring
will provide the evidence and data for the recommended changes in the rules or a change
to the water quality standard or provide a foundation for a potential legal challenge. Mr.
Westall said the UNRBA was seeking revisions to the rules based on solid science and
consideration of the economic impact of these requirements relative to the benefits to water
quality.
Mr. Westall described a promising technology being done by the City of Durham
where water is being pumped out of the lake, nutrients are removed and the water is
returned to the lake. This technology treatment process is referred to as an “algae turf
scrubber.”
Mr. Westall and Mr. Sauber shared the following slides with the Board as part of
their update.

Chairman Newell asked if there was any way to tell how much of the nutrient levels
was coming out of Person County. Mr. Westall responded there is not enough conclusive
data although it is estimated that 60 percent of the nutrients leaving the area as stormwater
runoff gets to the lake while in Durham 100 percent runoff is making it to the lake. Person
County has six monitoring stations and Mr. Westall stated based on the jurisdictional
locations of the watershed that Person County nutrient loading levels would be minimal
compared to other jurisdictions.
Mr. Westall stated the when the monitoring is complete in four years, they will have
superior technical information.
Mr. Sauber noted that Falls Lake was built by the Core of Engineers and impounded
to provide drinking water, flood control and recreation.
Commissioner Kendrick advocated for a challenge to the rules that would enable
Person County to be productive and requested that the regulator exercise good common
sense to help the builders of the county versus hinder their efforts. Ms. Locklear stated she
would be glad to address any specific incidences noting the intent was for the best plan
review complying with the current rules in place.
Commissioner Jeffers asked NC Representative Larry Yarborough, present in the
audience, if he had any update to share with the group related to his sponsored House Bill
630 for alternative water quality protection for Falls Lake. Representative Yarborough
stated the current status of House Bill 630 was review by Senate Committee on Rules and
Operations.
Commissioner Puryear asked the County Attorney if legal action against the state
was feasible. County Attorney, Ron Aycock stated for Person County to have a successful
lawsuit without scientific evidence and analysis would be difficult for him to determine.
Commissioner Clayton advocated for the study to monitor and collect data for the next
three to four years. Representative Yarborough commented from a political perspective, it
was not the right time to pursue legal action; he advocated for better customer service when
plans were being reviewed.

Ordinance was adopted, 116 landowners have been enrolled for a total of 22,500 acres.
Benefits of the enrolled landowners in the Voluntary Agricultural District program are
increased protection from nuisance lawsuits, public hearing for proposed condemnation of
enrolled land, water and sewer assessments waived and flexibility of city ordinances related
for farm operations in a city planning jurisdiction.

member from each township and a member from Farm Bureau and the Grange. The current
board in addition to Mr. Whitfield include Paul Bailey, Brent Adcock, Cal Berryhill,
Norman Boyette, Mickey Clayton, Ronald Foushee, Johnny Rogers, Chip Stone, Pete
Thomas, and Coleman Whitfield. Advisors to the board are Brent Bogue of Natural
Resource Conservation Service, Phillip Reams with NC Forestry Service and Charity
Silver with Farm Service Agency and Kim Woods with Cooperative Extension.
Mr. Whitfield said that letters have been mailed to encourage potential landowners
to participate in the program. The Voluntary Agricultural District program is one
component of farm land preservation plan which is currently being drafted.
Mr. Whitfield on behalf of the Voluntary Agricultural Board thanked the Board of
Commissioners for its support.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN PERSON COUNTY AND
PERSON COUNTY LITTLE LEAGUE:
Mr. John Hill, Director of the Recreation, Arts, and Parks Department stated the
Person County Recreation, Arts, and Park Department, in partnership with the Person
County Little League, will work together to implement the Little League Baseball and
Softball programs for the citizens of Person County. Mr. Hill noted that during this
partnership, it is the understanding between both parties that specific duties are determined
and agreed upon as presented in a “Memorandum of Understanding” between Person
County and Person County Little League.
Mr. Hill requested Board consideration to approve the Memorandum of
Understanding between Person County Government and the Person County Little League.
Vice Chairman Kendrick stated that the duties and responsibilities in the
Memorandum of Understanding did not specify a certain percentage of volunteer services
required. Mr. Hill stated the Little League board has delegated various duties with all
twelve positions being very active.
Mr. Hill noted the concessions are retained by the Little League board with all
profits from concessions to be maintained by the Little League for subsidizing the
operations of programs for the Sportsplex as mandated by Little League International.
Mr. Hill clarified that Person County Little League is a 501c3 under the rules of

would cover officers on patrol, civil and school resource.
3) Governors Highway Safety Grant (In- Car Cameras): $36,000 with a 50/50
match for 6 In- Car Cameras. $18,000 local match requested. Captain Crabtree
stated current in-car cameras are out of date and the infrastructure is needed to
support the new equipment. If award, the grant would be effective October 1,
2016.
Commissioner Jeffers requested that the Sheriff be prepared to further discuss
budgetary needs of in-car and body-worn cameras at the Board’s upcoming budget retreat.
Vice Chairman Kendrick asked Captain Crabtree about the cost benefit analysis
related to any lawsuits that Person County has been liable in the past ten years. Chief
Deputy Al Rhew responded that there was no known financial liability to any lawsuit in
the past ten years but advocated for preventive control and the ability to save law
enforcement officers careers based on use of cameras.
Captain Crabtree advised the Board that the drug forfeiture fund has been frozen
by the federal government which was the primarily funding source for equipment grants.
County Manager, Heidi York noted the local match would be funded through the excess
misdemeanant confinement fund with a budget amendment to be approved at the
appropriate time the match was required.
A motion was made by Commissioner Jeffers and carried 5-0 to authorize the
Sheriff’s Office to apply for the grant and pledge the necessary local match of $48,000 if

CLEAN FUEL ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY GRANT:
Assistant County Manager, Sybil Tate noted Person County does not meet some
EPA air quality standards; therefore, the county would be eligible to apply for Clean Fuel
Advanced Technology (CFAT) grant funds from the federal government passed down
through the state to improve air quality. Ms. Tate stated the grant application due date is
February 15, 2016 with awards to be made in April 2016. Ms. Tate said the CFAT grant
required a 20% match of county funds estimated to be approximately $25,000-$31,000.
The grant funds requested would be approximately $100,000 - $125,000, for a total project
cost of $125,000 -$156,000. Ms. Tate further noted that all funds will be budgeted for and
expended during FY17.
Ms. Tate recommended applying for CFAT funds for the following projects:
• Vehicle replacement
• Education
• Technology
• Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Station in Uptown
• Public Outreach
Vehicle Replacement
The grant would pay 80% of the costs of an “upgrade” from a regular vehicle to an
Alternative Fuel Vehicle. Person County’s Department of Social Services (DSS) may need
to replace up to 4 vehicles this year. As a result, Ms. Tate recommended using grant funds
to “upgrade” these vehicles. Eighty percent of the additional cost of the more fuel-efficient
vehicle would be paid by the state, the remaining 20% or approximately $400 would be
paid by the county.
Education
The grant request will also include two half-day education events to teach county
employees driving techniques that conserve fuel. Vice Chairman Kendrick pointed out the
unintended costs involved employees attending training away from their normal jobs.
Technology
Ms. Tate noted DSS was in need of reservation software to improve the vehicle
request system (currently this process is 100% manual) and decrease fuel costs and
recommended purchasing software that will decrease fuel consumption with the following
features:
- safety features-provides supervisors with alerts for speeding
- fuel tracking – total fuel usage per vehicle, mileage, miles/gallon
- improper use of vehicles
- ride sharing functionality
- checks charge levels for electric vehicles
January 19, 2016
28
Ms. Tate stated the one-time software costs would be $31,000 with a monthly
recurring costs of $680.
EV Charging Station
The grant application will also include a request for funding for an electric vehicle
charging station in Uptown Roxboro. The TDA is very interested in this project and has
pledged to support it with funds. Person County is also discussing this project with the City
of Roxboro and RDG. Ms. Tate stated the total costs for the charging station(s) would be
$16,000 with the grant funding $12,800 and $3,200 for the match.
Public Outreach
The grant requires awardees to promote projects funded with CFAT money. Ms.
Tate noted the county would attach magnets to vehicles funded through CFAT, host a
ribbon cutting for the electric vehicle charging station in Uptown, and use social media
outlets to promote fuel conservation.
Vice Chairman Kendrick discussed the costs and described his experience working
at Duke Energy related to software and training issues.
A motion was made by Chairman Newell and carried 4-1 to not pursue the Clean
Fuel Advanced Technology Grant. Commissioner Jeffers cast the lone dissenting vote.
