AGENDA ABSTRACT
Meeting Date: March 19, 2018
Agenda Title: Public Hearing for a Text Amendment (TA-01-18) request by the Person
County Planning staff to amend the Ordinance Regulating Automobile Graveyards and Junkyards
in Person County regarding commercial and residential junkyards and their associated penalties.
The NC General Statutes requires that when reviewing a text amendment, the board also include with
their motion a statement as to whether the proposed text amendment is reasonable and consistent.
Summary of Information: Petition TA-01-18 is a request by the Person County Planning staff
to amend the Ordinance Regulating Automobile Graveyards and Junkyards in Person County
regarding commercial and residential junkyards and their associated penalties.
This text amendment request serves to clarify in which instances the Ordinance Regulating
Automobile Graveyards and Junkyards in Person County (“Junkyard Ordinance”) would apply to
a parcel of land and which penalties would apply to the violation.
While working on two current junkyard violations, staff determined that the language pertaining
to residential junkyards was contradictory. While Section Six, Applicability, of the Junkyard
Ordinance states that the ordinance applies to all properties (residential, commercial and
industrial), Section Four, Prohibitions, only prohibits commercial junkyards.
Staff also determined that the penalty section was unclear and that both criminal and civil penalties
could be applied to a parcel regardless if it was zoned commercial or residential. Staff is
recommending that criminal penalties only apply to non-residential properties. Civil penalties, in
accordance with the NC General Statues, can apply to both.
Planning Staff Recommendation - Planning Staff recommends approval of TA-01-18. Staff is
requesting language in the Junkyard Ordinance that clearly distinguishes between a commercial
and a residential junkyard along with the associated penalties for each.
Statement of Reasonableness and Consistency - The text amendment request is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan and future planning goals and objectives of Person County. It is reasonable
and in the public interest as it will provide clear and concise regulations in the Ordinance
Regulating Automobile Graveyards and Junkyards in Person County.
5
Section 4.1.10 in the Goal and Objectives of the Land Use Plan states: “Continue to evaluate and
regulate offensive land uses that create unsightly conditions and adversely affect adjacent property
values. In particular, pursue vigorous enforcement of the Person County Junkyard Ordinance.”
Recommended Action: Vote to approve, approve with modifications or deny the requested
text amendment. The Board also needs to address the Statement of Reasonableness and
Consistency required by the NC General Statutes.

PLANNING STAFF ANALYSIS
This text amendment request serves to clarify in which instances the Ordinance Regulating
Automobile Graveyards and Junkyards in Person County (“Junkyard Ordinance”) would apply to
a parcel of land and which penalties would apply to the violation.
While working on two current junkyard violations, staff determined that the language

and industrial), Section Four, Prohibitions, only prohibits commercial junkyards.

Staff also determined that the penalty section was unclear and that both criminal and civil
penalties could be applied to a parcel regardless if it was zoned commercial or residential.
Staff is recommending that criminal penalties only apply to non‐residential properties. Civil
penalties, in accordance with the NC General Statues, can apply to both.
PLANNING STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Planning Staff recommends approval of TA‐01‐18. Staff is requesting language in the Junkyard
Ordinance that clearly distinguishes between a commercial and a residential junkyard along
with the associated penalties for each.
REASONABLENESS AND CONSISTENCY STATEMENT
The text amendment request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and future planning
goals and objectives of Person County. It is reasonable and in the public interest as it will
provide clear and concise regulations in the Ordinance Regulating Automobile Graveyards and
Junkyards in Person County.
Section 4.1.10 in the Goal and Objectives of the Land Use Plan states: “Continue to evaluate

PUBLIC HEARING:
REQUEST BY THE COUNTY’S ADDRESS COORDINATOR TO ADD FAITH
HAVEN LN, A PRIVATE ROADWAY, TO THE DATABASE OF ROADWAY
NAMES USED FOR E-911 DISPATCHING:
A motion was made by Commissioner Clayton and carried 5-0 to open the duly
advertised public hearing for a request by the County’s Address Coordinator to add Faith
Haven Ln, a private roadway, to the database of roadway names used for E-911
dispatching.
GIS Manager, Sallie Vaughn stated the request to add a private roadway to the
database of roadway names used for E-911 dispatching was necessitated by the four private
residences located on the same private driveway off Cunningham Rd. She noted that
emergency responders have reported issues in the past with locating homes accessed along
this driveway. In order to bring the addresses into compliance with Article IV, Section 402
H of the Ordinance Regulating Address and Road Naming in Person County, the driveway
must be named. The addition of this road will require occupants of the four existing
residences to change their addresses to reflect the new roadway name.
N.C. General Statue 153A-239.1(A) requires a public hearing be held on the
matter and public notice to be provided at least 10 days before the hearing in the
newspaper. The required public notice was published in the February 17, 2018 edition of
the Roxboro Courier-Times.
Ms. Vaughn further noted that the adjacent property owners were contacted via
certified mail and all four property owners have reached a unanimous decision on the
name Faith Haven Ln, which is compliant with the Ordinance. A sign advertising the
public hearing was placed at the proposed roadway location approximately ten days prior
to this public hearing.
There were no individuals appearing before the Board to speak in favor of or in
opposition to the request by the County’s Address Coordinator to add Faith Haven Ln, a
private roadway, to the database of roadway names used for E-911 dispatching.
A motion was made by Commissioner Jeffers and carried 5-0 to close the public
hearing for a request by the County’s Address Coordinator to add Faith Haven Ln, a private

Membership to increase to nine voting members and to grant voting privileges to the City
of Roxboro’s representative.
A motion was made by Commissioner Jeffers to adopt a Resolution Amending the
Person County Economic Development Commission for a Change in Membership to add
a seat for the elected mayor or an alternate elected official of the Roxboro City Council
with full voting rights.
Vice Chairman Powell stated his support to tweak the EDC and to add the Mayor
as a voting member.
Vice Chairman Powell offered a substitute motion to add Mr. Mike Wilkins to the
EDC Board along with the Mayor. County Manager, Heidi York noted the statute requires
a maximum of nine members; in order to add Mr. Wilkins to the EDC Board, a current
member would need to come off to create the open seat for Mr. Wilkins. Vice Chairman
Powell withdrew his substitute motion.

PRELIMINARY RESOLUTION TITLED “RESOLUTION MAKING CERTAIN
DETERMINATIONS CONCERNING A PROPOSED INSTALLMENT
FINANCING AGREEMENT TO FINANCE A PORTION OF THE COST OF
VARIOUS PROJECTS AND PROVIDING FOR CERTAIN RELATED
MATTERS” RELATED TO THE FINANCING OF PUBLIC SAFETY
COMMUNICATION TOWERS, RELATED FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT;
AND OTHER VARIOUS COUNTY AND SCHOOL BUILDING
IMPROVEMENTS:
Finance Director, Amy Wehrenberg requested the Board to approve a Resolution
making certain Determinations concerning a Proposed Installment Financing Agreement to
Finance a portion of the Cost of Various Projects and providing for Certain Related Matters”
related to the financing of Public Safety Communication Towers, Related Facilities and
Equipment; and Other Various County and School Building Improvements. She explained
that the presented Resolution represented the Board’s formal intent to finance the
construction of two (2) public safety communication towers, the purchase and installation
of related facilities and equipment, as well as building improvements to Huck Sansbury
Gym, and various School buildings (collectively, the “Project”). This Resolution includes
five (5) additional building improvements* that were deemed critical and necessary during
staff’s evaluation of requested Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) projects received on
February 16, 2018. Ms. Wehrenberg noted the recommendation to add these projects to the
debt financing was the result of the funding constraint created in the CIP with the addition
of the large $1.3M fiber project that was also scheduled for next year. Ms. Wehrenberg said
this funding strategy allows the General Fund to commence with the much-awaited fiber
project without having to defer other major capital needs submitted by the County,
Community College, and the Schools. The average annual debt payment for the financing
of the projects listed below is $380K. The maximum amount of funds necessary to finance
the Project is $4,750,000, but less is anticipated. Ms. Wehrenberg stated that firm estimates
and final loan documents will be available for the Board’s consideration at their meeting on
April 9, 2018. The specific list of projects proposed by this Resolution to be financed include
the following:

Ms. Wehrenberg stated the Resolution was set forth by sections as follows:

financing that it is necessary and expedient to provide funding by debt; that
this particular type of financing is preferable; the amount of the proceeds of
the proposed debt is sufficient; the County’s debt policies are in good order;
an increase in taxes to fund repayment of the debt is not anticipated; and
that the County is not in default on any of its debt
2. Designates and authorizes certain County officials to represent the County
in filing an application with and requesting approval from the Local
Government Commission (LGC) for the proposed financing agreement
3. Requests that the LGC approve the proposed financing agreement

RESOLUTION MAKING CERTAIN DETERMINATIONS
CONCERNING A PROPOSED INSTALLMENT FINANCING
AGREEMENT TO FINANCE A PORTION OF THE COST OF
VARIOUS PROJECTS AND PROVIDING FOR CERTAIN RELATED
MATTERS.
WHEREAS, the County of Person, North Carolina (the “County”) is considering
entering into an installment financing agreement and certain related documents pursuant to
G.S. §160A-20, as amended, for the purpose of providing funds in an amount not to exceed
$4,750,000, with other available funds, for paying the cost of (a) acquiring, constructing
and installing two communication towers and related facilities and equipment that are a
part of a project to improve the public safety communication system serving the residents
of the County, (b) installing a heating, ventilating and air conditioning system at the Huck
Sansbury Gym, (c) replacing the fire alarm system and three rooftop heating, ventilating
and air conditioning units at Northern Middle School, (d) replacing the roof at Early
Intervention & Family Services, (e) replacing the cooling towers at Helena Elementary
School and Stories Creek Elementary School and (f) replacing heating and cooling unit

agreement that (a) the proceeds of such proposed agreement will be used to finance a

public facilities constituting the Project to serve the residents of the County and,
accordingly, such proposed agreement is necessary or expedient for the County, (b) such
proposed agreement, under current circumstances, is preferable to a bond issue of the
County for financing the same purpose because there is not adequate time to authorize and

APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS FOR EMS:
EMS Operations Manager Greg White reminded the Board that in January EMS

of Emergency Management Services, Douglas Young approached Piedmont Electric to
pursue a non-interest bearing loan in the amount of $776,086 which has been approved.
The closing date on this loan is not set until August 2018.
Mr. White stated with the projected closing date of August, the three ambulances
will not arrive until the end of this calendar year and the prices of the safety gear will
increase in March 2018. In order to help reduce vehicle maintenance cost and keep current
ambulance and safety gear pricing, Mr. White requested the Board to approve the advance
purchase of one of the three ambulances and safety gear during this budget year (FY 17/18)
for $272,335. The cost of the ambulance is $226,055 and the safety gear is $46,280. Mr.
White said that once the loan was closed and proceeds are received, the County would
reimburse the County for this ambulance and turnout gear in FY 18-19, and be in place for
the purchase of the remaining two ambulances.
County Manager, Heidi York clarified that the request was for an advance of Fund
Balance to allow him to order one ambulance and purchase the turn out gear and once the
loan proceeds are received in August, the County would reimburse the Fund Balance
appropriation that was advanced.
A motion was made by Commissioner Clayton and carried 5-0 to approve the
advance purchase of one of the three ambulances and safety gear through a Fund Balance

12. CONSIDERATION
The Grange agrees to pay to the Board the sum of $1.00 per year for the rental of said property. The
first year’s rent is payable upon the execution of this instrument and if the lease is renewed for
54
successive one year periods each subsequent year’s rent shall be payable in advance on the beginning
day of each subsequent renewal term.
13. WATER AND SEWER RIGHTS
The Grange shall have the right to use water from the well located upon the premises leased to the
Bushy Fork Athletic Club and shall be entitled to maintain septic tanks and septic lines needed to serve
the cafeteria building.
14. TERMINATION
It is expressly agreed that if the Grange shall neglect to do and perform any manner of things herein
agreed to be done and performed by it, and shall remain in default thereof for a period of thirty (30)
days after written notice from the County calling attention to such default, County may declare this
Lease terminated and cancelled and take possession of said premises without prejudice to any other
legal remedy it may have on account of such default.
In the event that a particular default concerning repairs cannot be reasonably corrected within 30 days
after notification, the Grange shall have a reasonable time to correct said default after notification by
County. It is expressly understood by the parties that nothing contained within this lease is to be
construed to limit the authority of the County to take such action as it deems necessary to protect the
public health and safety.
IN WITNESS THEREOF, the County has caused this agreement to be signed in its name by the Chairman
of its Board of Commissioners, attested by its Clerk and sealed with its official seal, and the Grange has
caused this agreement to be signed in its name by its President, attested by its Secretary, and all by
authority duly given, the day and year first above written.

AGENDA ABSTRACT
Meeting Date: March 19, 2018
Agenda Title: Volunteer Fire Department Funding
Summary of Information: At the Board’s Annual Retreat held on February 5th, Commissioners
focused on two funding scenarios for the FY19 Volunteer Fire Department Funding and staff was
directed to bring this discussion back to the Board in March.
The first funding scenario proposes an increase to the VFDs of $1M annual operating funds through
the new quarter-cent sales tax revenue. The viability of this scenario is dependent on the May 8th
primary election where this question must be approved by voters.
The second funding proposal has been revised by Commissioner Jeffers and now shifts all VFD
funding to a newly created Fire Tax setting an annual funding amount at $1M.
a. 1 penny on the fire tax generates $368,444
b. Set the fire tax rate at 2.71cents
c. Provide for a 2% increase every other year
d. Fire Chiefs to provide a distribution formula for each VFD
e. Increase accountability in contract
Recommended Action: Provide feedback to staff as the annual budget is prepared.

AGENDA ABSTRACT
Meeting Date: March 19, 2018
Agenda Title: Person County Juvenile Crime Prevention Council Funding Recommendations
For FY2018-2019
Summary of Information:
Each year, funding is made available through the North Carolina Department of Public Safety / Division
of Juvenile Justice to Person County and its Juvenile Crime Prevention Council (JCPC) to be utilized to
address the needs of youth at-risk for delinquency as well as adjudicated undisciplined and delinquent
youth in Person County. The funding comes in the form of a county allocation. All 100 counties in the
State of North Carolina are allocated funds based on the population of youth in the county between the
ages of 10 and 17.
Annually, the JCPC Board conducts a planning process, which includes an array of legislated tasks: a
review of the community risk factors and the risk levels of youth in the community; an assessment of the
needs of the target populations; a review of the service resources available to address those needs; the
identification of service gaps; and the strategic development of a plan to structure a seamless continuum
of service programming to address the target population needs. As part of the development of the needed
services identified in the continuum, there is a Request for Proposal (RFP) process that is completed by
the JCPC Board. Non-profits and government entities may apply for the opportunity to provide services
per the guidelines of the RFP. The JCPC Board reviews all requests and awards are made to service
providers to address service needs identified by the JCPC Board. The JCPC Board makes its
recommendation of expenditures of the allocation and presents its written annual planning documents to
the Person County Board of County Commissioners for its approval. The JCPC Board performs this
function as an extension of the Board of County Commissioners in its fulfillment of the legislated duties
imposed upon them through general statute.
Additionally, on an on-going basis, the JCPC evaluates the performance of its funded programs by
annually monitoring each program through on-site visits and also monthly through program reporting at
the local, monthly JCPC meetings. The JCPC is also charged with the tasks of increasing public
awareness of the causes of delinquency, addressing strategies to intervene and appropriately responding
to and treating the needs of juveniles while at the same time reducing juvenile recidivism. The JCPC
stands ready to respond to the changing needs of youth and service delivery in the community.
Recommended Action:
Adopt the JCPC funding grid.

far in FY18. The first and only use of the new kits occurred within less than one month of the
training and distribution. EMS has additional Naloxone supplies available to replace those that
have been used.
Hospital Safe Room
An MOU with the hospital has been completed and the location for a “safer” room has been
identified. Hospital staff has researched equipment and is gathering purchasing and installation
quotes. Installation should be complete by the end of April.

AGENDA ABSTRACT
Meeting date:
March 19, 2018
Agenda Title:
Request for Approval of New Audit Firm’s Proposal for Auditing Services of
Person County’s Annual Financial Statements
Summary of Information:
Finance Director is presenting the attached bid tabulation and recommendation on
the audit firm to perform audit services for Person County’s annual reporting
requirements for fiscal year periods ending 2018, 2019 and 2020. A Request for
Proposal was released on February 15, 2018, and four audit firms responded,
including the County’s current auditor. After thorough analysis of each proposal,
it has been determined that Elliott Davis, PLLC, from Raleigh, NC, presented the
best responsive bid. Their estimate to perform the audit for Person County for
fiscal year ending 2018 is $9,000 less than our current auditor’s bid ($3,000 over
lowest bid). Over the three year period, the total cost reduction from our current
auditor’s bid is $38,345. Other variables that were in their favor over the other
bid responses include (1) their close proximity to Person County, (2) the fact that
they are a larger firm which potentially offers additional audit staffing resources,
(3) high recommendations from one of the counties they are currently serving,
and (4) their overall ability to submit financial reports to the Local Government
Commission prior to November 30th compared to the other bidders.
Recommended Action:
To approve the audit firm’s three year proposal as recommended, and approve
execution of first year’s contract for reporting year 2017-18.
