AGENDA ABSTRACT
Meeting Date: May 15, 2017
Agenda Title: Person County EMS receives the Silver Plus Award from American Heart
Association Mission Lifeline
Summary of Information:
The program, which started in 2015, recognizes EMS teams across the nation for their vital role in
providing timely treatment for STEMI patients through Mission Lifeline systems of care. STEMI,
which stands for S-T Elevation Myocardial Infraction, simply means that a patient is having an
active heart attack that is recognized by the Paramedics on an EKG. In most cases, one of the major
arteries in the heart is either partially or fully blocked and requires percutaneous coronary
intervention (PCI) in a cardiac catheterization lab. The recognition focuses on two required
metrics, 12-lead ECGs on non-traumatic chest pain patients and first medical contact (FMC) to
Balloon time less than 90 minutes. The recognition requires a quality system of care with the
referring PCI center, which is coordinated with the Duke AMI Coordinator Candance Van Vleet.
There are three levels of awards, Bronze (1 quarter successful), Silver (1 year) and Gold (2 years).
Person County EMS has been awarded the Silver Plus award, which is the highest award possible
for first year applicants.
In 2016, 28 agencies in North Carolina received this award. Of those 28 agencies, 2 agencies are
of comparable population and distance from a PCI Hospital. Those counties are Davie County and
Stokes County. Each of these counties has an average transport time to a PCI hospital around 34
minutes, which our average is between 35 and 45 minutes depending on if we transport to Duke
Regional or Duke.
Davie County EMS (Silver Award)
Square Miles: 267
8186 calls (2014)
Population: 42,013 (2016)
3 EMS Stations
5 ALS ambulances & 1 Supervisor 24/7
Stokes County EMS (Silver Award)
Square Miles: 456
9522 calls (2016)
Population: 46,067 (2016)
4 EMS Stations
5 ALS ambulances & 1 Supervisor 24/7
This recognition truly shows the high level of care and impact that our Paramedics are making on
the citizens and visitors of Person County, especially in a County as rural as ours.
Recommended Action:
Recognize the hard work and impact that our Paramedics provide to the citizens and visitors of
Person County.

2013. The remainder of the acreage is used as woodlands and farmland with farm buildings and a
tenant house.
The solar farm will contains rows of Photovoltaic (PV) cell panels mounted on posts set in the
ground individually. The plans depict approximately 24,348 solar panels located on 1,036 racks
and each panel has a 155 watt capacity.
The property is not located within a FEMA Flood Hazard area. It is located within the Roanoke
Watershed Basin. The site will not require a well or septic system, and the use will be unmanned
and only visited periodically for routine maintenance.
The plans show a twenty foot access to the site off of Woodsdale Road per Zoning Ordinance
requirements The Ordinance also requires that travelways and driveways to be paved which
includes a turnaround for emergency vehicles. A driveway permit will have to be obtained from
NCDOT. A six foot chain link fence with barbed wire will enclose the facility.
The site falls within the Suburban Residential classification under the Person County Land Use
Plan’s Future Land Use Map. It 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 non-residential 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.

The Planning Board will hold a Public Hearing on the case on May 11, 2017. The Planning
Board’s decision will be forwarded to the Board of Commissioners as soon as possible after the
May 11th meeting and will also be presented at the May 15, 2017 Board of Commissioner’s
meeting.
Recommended Action: Vote to approve or deny the Special Use Permit
If Board decides to grant approval of the Special Use Permit, planning staff recommends that the
following conditions be included:
1. Applicant to obtain a driveway permit from NCDOT. A copy of the permit to be given to
Planning and Zoning prior to issuance of a zoning permit.
2. Applicant to obtain Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan. A copy of the approved plan and
approval letter to be given to Planning and Zoning prior to issuance of Zoning Permit.
3. A final “as built” to be submitted to Planning and Zoning prior to issuance of a Certificate of
Occupancy.
4. Access to the site to be minimum of 20 feet in width, parking to accommodate two vehicles
(each 9’ x 18”) and turnaround minimum of seventy feet (driving surface) for emergency
vehicles.
5. Applicant to obtain all Federal, State and Local permits that are required.
6. Applicant to meet all conditions of the Person County Zoning Ordinance.
7. Applicant will need to obtain a Zoning Permit and Building Permit from Person County prior
to any construction.
The Board also needs to address the Findings of Fact in Section 74-4 and whether this proposal is
in keeping with the Person County Comprehensive Plan.
The Findings of Fact listed in Section 74.4 of the Zoning Ordinance are as follows:
1. That the use will not materially endanger the public health or safety if located where proposed
and developed according to the plan as submitted and approved.
2. That the use meets all required conditions and specifications.
3. That the use will not substantially injure the value of adjoining or abutting property, or that the
use is a public necessity, and
4. That the location and character of the use if developed according to the plan as submitted and
approved will be in harmony with the area in which it is to be located and in general conformity
with the comprehensive plan.

SPECIAL USE PERMIT REQUEST-SUP-01-17
APPLICANT: WOODSDALE FARM LLC
PROPERTY OWNER: LINDSAY & JOHN WAGSTAFF
REQUEST: SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR SOLAR ENERGY GENERATOR
LOCATION: WOODSDALE ROAD, SR 1326
TAX MAP A58 PARCEL 12 WOODSDALE TOWNSHIP RURAL CONSERVATION DISTRICT
The County has received an application from Woodsdale Solar Farm LLC for a solar
energy generator on Woodsdale Road. The company plans to lease 15.75 acres out of the 595 acre tract. Electrical Generating Facilities are allowed with a Special Use Permit in the Rural Conservation District.
Attached to this report is a site plan which shows the proposed solar panels, inverters
and access to the site. The solar farm will contain rows of Photovoltaic (PV) cell panels mounted on posts set in the ground individually. The plans show approximately 24,348 solar panels. Each panel has a 115 watt capacity. The construction of the project
includes erecting erosion control measures, pile driving metal racking (not set in
concrete), and installing rows of silicon based PV solar panels. These are solid state
panels with an estimated life of more than thirty years. The panels create Direct Current Power which is created onsite through the referenced inverters. Both the panels and inverters are commonly used equipment available through many manufacturers. The
power is then sold through a Power Purchase Agreement to Duke Energy Progress.
This site is not equipped to store power and does not involve known hazardous
materials. This site will not require a well or septic system. The use will be unmanned and only
visited periodically for routine maintenance. Due to the construction of the solar panels,
water is able to flow through them.
The plans show a twenty foot access to the site off of Woodsdale Road. The zoning ordinance requires a twenty foot access to the site. The Ordinance also requires that
travelways and driveways to be paved which includes a turnaround for emergency
vehicles. A driveway permit will have to be obtained from NCDOT. A six foot chain link
fence with barbed wire will enclose the facility.

23
appropriate, special uses shall comply with the height, yard, area and parking regulations for the use district in which they are permitted unless otherwise specified.
The Person County Land Use Plan’s “Future Land Use Map” shows this area as
Suburban Residential. It 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 non-
residential 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.
Section 160-5(B) of the Zoning Ordinance states: “The Planning Board shall provide a
written recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners that addresses that the
proposed amendment is consistent with the comprehensive plan, but a comment by the
Planning Board that a proposed amendment is inconsistent with the comprehensive plan shall not preclude consideration or approval of the proposed amendment by the
Board of County Commissioners. Prior to adopting or rejecting any zoning amendment,
the Board of County Commissioners shall adopt a statement describing whether its
action is consistent with an adopted comprehensive plan and why such action is
reasonable and in the public interest.
The land in question is listed as Suburban Residential which states “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 non-residential 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.” The Land Use Plan has Goals and Objectives for future land development within the
County. The following item is listed within this section:
1.4 Preserve large tracts of prime agricultural land from development. 2.1 Promote continued economic investment through the retention and expansion of
existing industrial concerns and the recruitment of new industries and commercial
businesses.
If Board decides to grant approval of the Special Use Permit, the following conditions
should be included:
24
1. Applicant to obtain a driveway permit from NCDOT. A copy of the permit to be given to Planning and Zoning prior to issuance of a zoning permit.
2. Applicant to obtain Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan. A copy of the approved
plan and approval letter to be given to Planning and Zoning prior to issuance of
Zoning Permit.
3. A final “as built” to be submitted to Planning and Zoning prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.
4. Access to the site to be minimum of 20 feet in width, parking to accommodate two
vehicles (each 9’ x 18”) and turnaround minimum of seventy feet (driving surface) for
emergency vehicles.

INFORMAL COMMENTS:
The following individuals appeared before the Board to make informal comments:
Ms. Frances Blalock of 1504 Surl Mt. Tirzah Rd., Timberlake read an abstract titled
Flawed Technology of Subtitle D Landfilling of Municipal Solid Waste by G. Fred Lee
and Anne Jones-Lee dated January 2015; an excerpt of the abstract read: “this report
presents a review of the information available pertinent to public health and environmental
quality protection issues for proposed and existing Subtitle D landfills. Based on this
review it is concluded that this type of landfill will at most locations cause groundwater
pollution by landfill leachate and be adverse to the health, welfare and interests of nearby
residents and property owners/users. As discussed, there is normally significant
justification for those near a proposed Subtitle D landfill to oppose the development of the
landfill and the existence of an operating Subtitle D landfill”.
Ms. Betty Blalock of 144 Tirzah Ridge, Rougemont commented that she has
experienced dynamite sounds that shook her house to which she believed to come from the
landfill. She urged the Board to remember the residents living near the landfills recounting
the 61 people within her community affected by environmental issues, such as
contaminated wells or diseases.
DISCUSSION/ADJUSTMENT/APPROVAL OF CONSENT AGENDA:
A motion was made by Commissioner Jeffers and carried 5-0 to approve the

NEW BUSINESS:
FIRST READING TO CONSIDER ADOPTION OF THE APPLICATION FOR
SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL FRANCHISE ORDINANCE FOR THE UPPER
PIEDMONT REGIONAL LANDFILL OWNED AND OPERATED BY REPUBLIC
SERVICES OF NC LLC:
Chairman Kendrick stated that Republic Services has submitted an application for
a Solid Waste Disposal Franchise Ordinance for the operation of Upper Piedmont Regional
Landfill for the proposed term of ten years. As required by law, a public hearing was held
on April 3, 2017. Chairman Kendrick noted the application was before the Board for its
first reading and vote. He further noted that regardless of the initial vote, General Statute
153A-46 requires two separate votes at two regular meetings of the Board of
Commissioners to enact the solid waste franchise. The second reading of the application
will be brought back before the Board at its May 1, 2017 meeting.
Chairman Kendrick asked Person County’s Attorney, Ron Aycock to provide an
overview of the proposed Solid Waste Disposal Franchise Ordinance.
Mr. Aycock said the current franchise expires June 30, 2017 and in order to operate
a landfill within the county, two separate items were required: 1) a franchise issued by the
Board of Commissioners and 2) a contract between the Person County Board of
Commissioners and the landfill operator. Mr. Aycock stated the franchise before the Board
submitted by Republic proposed a ten-year franchise effective at the expiration of the
existing franchise and was drafted, in effect, to mirror the existing franchise, i.e., enable
Republic to operate in the same manner that it does currently. The geographic area is the
same: 60 miles radius from the landfill; the volume of the waste authorized is the same:
660 tons per day with all other aspects being the same as the existing franchise. Mr.
Aycock stated that the existing contract between Person County and Republic authorizes
extensions of the contract in one-year increments for an additional ten years. Mr. Aycock
told the group that should the Board approve the franchise, a contract extension would then
be negotiated with Republic.
Commissioner Clayton asked what would happen if there was no agreement on the
contract. Mr. Aycock replied if there was an adopted franchise but no agreement for a
contract, Republic could make the business decision to operate the landfill without Person
County’s waste.
Commissioner Jeffers asked why the Board would consider a franchise ordinance
before a negotiated contract was in place. Mr. Aycock stated that was a policy decision for
the Board.
64
April 17, 2017

A motion was made by Vice Chairman Powell and carried 5-0 to extend the
franchise agreement with Republic Industries for a period of not more than two years
maintaining the current per day tonnage rate and the county staff submit options for closure
of the landfill during this period, and that to include proper procedures, legal requirements,
and costs of implementing each option for consideration by the Board.
Commissioner Clayton confirmed with the group that the options would include
using the county’s old landfill as a transfer station, negotiating with Granville County to
accept solid waste, increased recycling as well as keeping up with new burn technology.
Commissioner Jeffers asked if there was any language in the current contract to
handicap the county from taking waste to another place during the two-year franchise
agreement to which Mr. Aycock stated the existing contract does provide that Person
County will use its best efforts to ensure all the waste generated in Person County goes to
the Upper Piedmont Landfill. Mr. Aycock added that should the county renegotiate an
extension of the contract as the contract is currently worded for the period of that contract
the county would be restricted in sending waste outside the county.
Commissioner Jeffers asked Vice Chairman Powell if he would accept an
amendment to his motion to allow that during negotiation of the contract to have language
in the contract that allows the county to have an out clause sooner than the two years if
another viable option becomes available. Vice Chairman Powell stated he did not mind
that noting that government moves slowly, and he wanted to allow ample time noting he
used “not more than” in his motion. Commissioner Clayton asked Mr. Aycock if the
language in the current contract relating to all waste generated in Person County goes to
the Upper Piedmont Landfill could be taken out. Mr. Aycock stated the assumption to
amend the existing contract to take out the clause that provides that Person County to use
its best efforts to direct the flow of waste from Person County, through an attempt to
negotiate the contract with Republic noting he did not have an opinion as it related to an
economic contractual decision of what the response of Republic. Commissioner Jeffers
stated if the negotiation of the contract was not worked out, then the Board could vote down
the application for franchise at the next reading which would allow that the landfill to close
on June 30, 2017. Mr. Aycock said the extensions of the existing contract provide that it
can be extended in yearly increments for up to ten yearly increments and provides authority
to negotiate the contract for one year or under the terms of the proposed franchise, two
years.
Commissioner Clayton confirmed with Mr. Aycock that the Board could approve the
franchise for two years and the contract one year which would not require an amendment
to the motion. Mr. Aycock confirmed the intent of the Board to negotiate the contract for
a period of one year at a time, up to the two years for the proposed franchise.

COMMUNITY CHILD PROTECTION TEAM ANNUAL REPORT:
Dept. of Social Services Director, Carlton B. Paylor introduced Ms. Judi Akers,
Child Welfare Program Manager and Chairman of the Person County Community Child
Protection Team (CCPT) to present an annual report to the Board of Commissioners.
Mr. Paylor said the CCPT was established as one means for the state and local
communities to form a partnership to strengthen child protection in response to Executive
Order 142 in May 1991. The duties and responsibilities of the CCPT are contained in 10A
NCAC 70A .0201. In North Carolina, each CCPT reviews active child welfare cases,
fatalities, and other cases brought to the team for review. The purpose of the case reviews
is to identify systemic deficiencies in child welfare services or resources. Once identified,
teams develop strategies to address the gaps in the child welfare system within the county
and report to the state areas of concern that warrant action by the state. Teams promote
child well-being through collaboration. CCPT also promote child well-being through
public awareness.
Ms. Akers stated the mission of the CCPT as follows: Recognizing that child
protection is the responsibility of everyone, and responding to child protection needs is
more effective before a child is harmed; the CCPT, a team composed of agency
representatives, child advocates, and citizens at large, will take action to identify and
address gaps or deficiencies in services and resources through the annual report to the
Board of County Commissioners, collaboration with community partners, promising
public awareness, and advocating for action that addresses the child protection needs of
each county.
Ms. Akers noted Person County’s CCPT met 11 times in 2016. The primary topic
of discussion in the meetings continued to revolve around the prevalence of substance
abuse and its effects on the children within the community. The team reviewed eight (8)
cases presented by DSS and the Health Department. While there are multiple reasons that
cases are presented to Community Child Protection Teams in the state, Person County’s
team primarily reviewed active cases in which there were allegations of substance abuse
or a need for mental health services either for the parents or for the children. Often there
were other concerns described in the case presentation. In one case, in addition to the
parent’s untreated mental health concerns, the family presented with housing issues,
extreme poverty and limited family supports. In another there was a need for classes for
parents of children with disabilities. Lack of cultural connections and available resources
for the family were issues in yet another presentation.
Ms. Akers said the team has discussed educating the community regarding the
effects of substances on children exposed to and testing positive for legal and illegal drugs.
While we do not know the long-term effects on these children we have seen infants testing
positive for methadone at birth suffering tremors and withdrawal from the drugs.

Looking at the average number of children in foster care per month for the past five
(5) years, there is a significant spike in 2016. In 2012, 2013 and 2014, the number of
children in foster care averaged between 58 and 59 per month. In 2015, the average number
of children in Person County DSS custody increased to an average of almost 77 per month.
In 2016, the average number of children in care was 87. DSS data indicates that at least
61% of the children in DSS custody are affected in some way by substance abuse – their
parent or caretaker’s addiction and/or the child tested positive for a substance including
alcohol, cocaine, methadone, heroin, ecstasy, prescription medicines and, in some cases,
multiple substances.
Ms. Akers stated the CCPT and Person County DSS continue to acknowledge the
problems of substance abuse and economic disparity in Person County as a first step.
Educating ourselves about the long-term effects of substance abuse on the children and
families, encouraging families who have broken the cycle of intergenerational dependency
to be positive role models, having adequate resources including funding, court time and
foster families in the county, to name a few, are hurdles to overcome. Ms. Akers quoted
Zig Ziglar “Our children are our only hope for the future, but we are their only hope for
their present and their future.”
The Board thanked Mr. Paylor and Ms. Akers for their efforts for the children of
Person County.
ADOPTION OF THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN FOR FISCAL YEARS
2018-2022:
County Manager, Heidi York reminded the group that the Recommended five-year
Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) was presented to the Person County Board of
Commissioners on April 3, 2017 noting the adoption of the CIP will allocate funding for
the priority projects for the County, Person County Schools, and Piedmont Community
College for FY 2017-2018. The document also sets the priorities of the projects for future
fiscal years, although funding appropriated only on an annual basis and the plan reviewed
each year during the budget process. Ms. York stated the total amount proposed for Fiscal
Year 2018 was just over $2M all with current funds as opposed to debt proceeds noting a
major decrease over the previous fiscal year. Ms. York further noted staff’s intent to reduce
spending on capital and recommending that no projects are financed in the coming fiscal
year. Ms. York asked the Board to direct staff on any changes to the document and then
adopt the CIP.
Ms. York noted a few adjustments from the initial recommended CIP for 1) adding
a project to the Person County Schools list for a Facility and Use Audit at a cost of
$120,000, 2) anticipated an adjustment on the cost of the tax software next year where there
was an allocation of $375,000 however only may need up to $100,000, 3) the hangar project
at the airport was no longer listed on the CIP; staff will bring a request to the Board to
allocate the $800,000 set aside for hangars to now go toward the runway extension project,

and 4) purchase of the VIPER radios for the volunteer fire departments was proposed to be
tied to the financing of the tower improvement project in the current fiscal year but now
recommended to be purchase with advanced funding from the General Fund to cover the
costs with the intent to be reimbursed with the financing proceeds.
Chairman Kendrick asked for confirmation for the technology for the VIPER radios
to match the tower infrastructure to be constructed. Assistant County Manager, Sybil Tate
stated the state has committed to the VIPER system and the towers are already in use in
Person County.
Commissioner Jeffers asked Ms. York about Person County Schools snow removal
issues to which Ms. York said the Superintendent followed up with staff noting they were
unaware.
Ms. York followed up with the Board’s previous request related to the Parks and
Recreation light poles containing moisture noting they have been assessed and the findings
resulted in no moisture damage.
Vice Chairman Powell asked Ms. York about the roof proposed for the Bus Garage
on Winhaven at a cost of $202,000 noting in three years construction of a maintenance
warehouse. General Services Director, Ray Foushee confirmed the roof was the old Bus
Garage building that houses offices on Winhaven and the construction of a maintenance
warehouse will replace the dilapidated warehouse on the same property (separate building).
Vice Chairman Powell stated the funds received from the state, and referred to as
Article 40 and 43 sales tax funds distributed across all school systems that come to the
county from the state are earmarked for school construction and school debt. He wanted
the taxpayers to know that $1M plus was not county funds and asked staff to clarify such
in the charting of funds.
Commissioner Jeffers inquired about placing bathrooms at the Olive Hill Park for
use by participants. Mr. Foushee said John Hill, Director of Arts, Parks and Recreation
has a plan in place for bathrooms but was unsure when it would be in place. Ms. York
stated she would follow up with Mr. Hill.
A motion was made by Commissioner Clayton and carried 5-0 to adopt the Capital
Improvement Plan for Fiscal Years 2018-2022 as presented. The approved Funding

PERSON COUNTY JUVENILE CRIME PREVENTION COUNCIL FUNDING
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FY2017-2018:
Juvenile Crime Prevention Council Chairman, David Carter stated 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.
Mr. Carter noted that annually, the JCPC 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 was completed by the JCPC. Non-profits and government entities may apply
for the opportunity to provide services per the guidelines of the RFP. The JCPC reviews
all requests and awards are made to service providers to address service needs identified
by the JCPC. The JCPC 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 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, Mr. Carter further noted that 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.
Mr. Carter presented the following Person County Risk and Needs Assessment

Mr. Carter said the intake of youth into programming resulted from about 80% of
referrals from the school system with the other 20% from law enforcement and citizens.
Commissioner Jeffers asked for an example of moderate level school behavior to
which Mr. Carter noted such behavior would be comparable to a student with multiple
suspensions or an expulsion history.
Related to the 48% of youth, at intake reported to need more Mental Health
Assessment, Commissioner Jeffers asked if such services were received. Mr. Carter stated
the network of providers in Person County, i.e. Freedom House, Youth Villages,
Amethysts, Securing Resources for Consumers along with assessment tools for mental
health and substance abuse, are used to screen juveniles.
Mr. Carter spoke to the GREAT Camp program being awarded JCPC program
funding which requires tracking of participants, noting in the past JCPC has provided
funding for GREAT Camp scholarships. Commissioner Jeffers noted his interest to see if
the GREAT Camp was a preventive for future youth services.
Other than the five program providers recommended for funding, Commissioner
Jeffers asked if there were other program providers to apply for JCPC funding. Assistant
County Manager, Sybil Tate stated Roots & Wings had applied also for the community
service program which was the only competitive program to which Mr. Carter stated the
JCPC voted to keep community service with the Cooperative Extension program, noting
Roots & Wings was awarded by JCPC for the parenting, interpersonal and teen court
programming.
Commissioner Jeffers asked Mr. Carter of the 62% of youth, at intake that come
from families where at least one family member has a past or current involvement with the
justice system was substance abuse related. Mr. Carter said the GREAT Camp program
could provide statistical data information upon conclusion of the program.
Mr. Carter presented the County Funding Plan derived through the JCPC planning
process for use in Fiscal Year 2017-2018 noting the state funding totaled $123,213 with a
20% local county match of $23,420, and a local in-kind contribution of $28,890 for a total
funding plan of $175,523.
A motion was made by Commissioner Jeffers and carried 5-0 to approve the
Person County Funding Plan as presented.

FISCAL YEAR 2017-2018 BUDGET PRELIMINARY DISCUSSION:
Commissioner Jeffers requested Board discussion on priorities for funding for
Fiscal Year 2017-2018 noting the County Manager stated in a recent email that she did not
have support for a tax increase in her recommended budget. Commissioner Jeffers stated
that at the last time the Board discussed budgetary priorities, which was at the Board
Retreat in February 2017, there were three commissioners willing to increase taxes to
support public safety. He stated opposition to the process that the decision to make changes
to the Board’s priorities for the recommended budget was not done in a public meeting for
a consensus by the Board and/or a vote by the Board.
Commissioner Puryear noted a commissioner could change his opinion on a matter,
attain information to review all options citing that an article in the local paper had outlined
a change of opinion for the commissioner.
Vice Chairman Powell stated the straw poll that was completed at the Board Retreat
was announced by the County Manager as an informal, non-binding straw poll, which was
not an official vote. Vice Chairman Powell added that two days later in the local newspaper
he was quoted that he was not in favor of a tax increase.
Commissioner Jeffers advocated for any direction to the County Manager be done
so during public session.
Commissioner Jeffers noted as the volunteer fire departments are preparing their
budgets and application for grants, it sounded like the recommendation would be for a 2%
increase. Chairman Kendrick added his recommendation for the volunteer fire departments
to plan on the decision that has been made and voted in the past for a 2% increase.
CHAIRMAN’S REPORT:
Chairman Kendrick had no report.
MANAGER’S REPORT:
County Manager, Heidi York asked the Board to let the Clerk to the Board know if
they would attend the Fire Chief’s meeting on May 4th at Ceffo Volunteer Fire Department
for a quorum notice to be distributed.
Ms. York reminded the Board of the reception for the new Person County Schools’
Superintendent, Dr. Rodney Peterson scheduled for May 3, 2017 5:00pm-6:30pm in the
County Auditorium.

COMMISSIONER REPORT/COMMENTS:
Commissioner Jeffers reported he attended Person High Schools’ scholars program
and wished those students the best of luck.
Commissioner Jeffers asked for an agenda item at the Board’s next meeting for a
resolution of support for a municipal water extension for a permanent water supply; if
approved by the Board of Commissioners he asked for it to be sent to the Governor, the
County’s Senator and Representative, City Council and to Duke Energy.
Commissioner Clayton stated support of a permanent water supply solution by the
City as the preferable option for the residents near the power plant.
Commissioner Clayton requested information on the cost of re-opening the transfer
station at the old landfill, refurbishing the scale house and a price for hauling part of the
solid waste to Granville County versus citizen self-haul noting his vision was to charge
more than Granville would charge. County Manager, Heidi York stated the Board has a
memo from the consultant outlining options and she will put on an upcoming agenda for
the Board.
Commissioner Puryear asked the County Manager to reach out to the private waste
providers for known impacts of fees that may change if the landfill is closed.
Vice Chairman Powell did not have any report.
ADJOURNMENT:
A motion was made by Vice Chairman Powell and carried 5-0 to adjourn the
meeting at 7:50pm.

AGENDA ABSTRACT
Meeting Date: May 15, 2017
Agenda Title: Emergency Communications Network (Code Red) renewal Contract
Summary of Information: Six years ago the County began services with Emergency
Communications Network Code Red emergency notification system. This system is used by the
County’s Emergency Management to reach out to citizens during large scale emergencies that may
require evacuations, sheltering, other emergency messages and dangerous weather warnings with
emergency notifications/instructions by phone (wireline and wireless), text, and emails 24 hours a
day.
The County’s contract is due for renewal with Emergency Communications Network (Code Red).
During the past several months Emergency Services staff has reached out and researched other
competitors for services and pricing. As a result of our research we feel that Emergency
Notification System (Code Red) services will best fit our needs.
Recommended Action: It is recommended by Emergency Services staff that the Board of
Commissioners allow the County Manager to renew our contract with Emergency
Communications Network (Code Red) for a 2 year contact for a cost of $15,000.00 annually, a
reduction of $7,000.00 from our current contract. It is the staff’s hope that the contact renewal
will take effect on or about May 19, 2017.

Resolution of Support
for a Permanent Clean Water Solution
WHEREAS North Carolina's and Person County’s continued prosperity depends on protecting
water resources for current use and future generations, and
WHEREAS the General Assembly passed House Bill 630 in 2016 which required Duke Energy
to provide a permanent water solution to those living within a half mile of coal ash basins by

Roxboro; and
WHEREAS most residents that fall within the half-mile boundary of the coal ash basin have
been and are currently provided bottled water by Duke Energy to drink and to use in their
cooking, regardless of whether the state has declared their well safe or unsafe to drink.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Person County Board of Commissioners,
after hearing from its constituents, bid its support to advocate for a permanent water supply
solution for the citizens, businesses and school located within the boundary of the threshold to

AGENDA ABSTRACT
Meeting Date: May 15, 2017
Agenda Title: Matching Funds for Person County Airport Runway Extension
Summary of Information: The proposed Master Plan for the Person County Airport supports
a Runway Extension of 800 feet, bring the total runway length to 6805. This extension is needed
based on the aircraft that use our airport and also due to the fact that we lose a significant amount
of business, particularly cargo traffic that are diverted to larger airports.
This project was entered into the NCDOT STIP funding program for $11,230,000 and goes for
final approval by the Transportation Board around June 30, 2017. In order to be considered for
this grant, Person County must provide a letter of commitment for the 10% matching funds in the
amount of $1,123,000. Subject letter is attached.
Recommended Action: Determine the desire of the Board. If supportive of this grant/matching
funds, authorize the County Manager to sign the letter.

AGENDA ABSTRACT
Meeting Date: May 15, 2017
Agenda Title: Solid Waste options
Background:
At the May 1st meeting, the Board asked staff to research options for partnering with Granville
County for a solid waste disposal solution.
Summary of Information:
Considerations
Granville County staff has estimated a tipping fee of $36/ton (currently, the City of Roxboro
pays $40.62/ton at Upper Piedmont)
The round trip distance from Roxboro to the Granville County landfill is 56 miles
Granville has expressed some preference for having a transfer station, instead of convenience
centers
At least one private hauler has expressed a preference for having a transfer station, instead of
convenience centers
OPTION #1: County-owned transfer station; located at the old landfill
Description: Residents, private haulers, and the City would take waste to a transfer station and the
county would be responsible for hauling it to Granville County.
Pros Cons
Most convenient for City and private haulers
Residents are accustomed to taking waste to a
single location in the county
Cheapest option for City ($71K increase)
Cheapest option to private haulers
Smallest cost increase to residents with private
collection services
Tipping fee can be charged to recover costs
($64/ton)
Control most of waste stream/opportunity to
improve recycling rate
Cost – most expensive
start-up costs estimated at $725K
capital estimated at $1.42M (over 30
years)
operating estimated at $1.38M/year
Special Use permit required (PB and BOC),
State permits
Next steps: Begin negotiations with Granville County. Design waste stream process and funding
system with consultant. Release RFP for construction improvements. Determine whether or not to
contract out for operations and/or hauling.
113
OPTION #2: Open 4 convenience centers
Description: Residents would take trash to convenience centers and the county would be responsible
for hauling this waste to the Granville landfill. Private haulers and the City would take waste directly
to Granville’s landfill.
Pros Cons
Cost – least expensive
start-up costs estimated at $900K
capital estimated at $724K (over 30
years)
operating estimated at $465K/year
Most convenient for residents
Tipping fee can be charged to recover costs
($66/ton)
Control of some waste stream/opportunity to
improve recycling rate
Special Use permit required (PB and BOC)
Most expensive for the City (+93K)
Most expensive for private haulers
Biggest cost increase to residents for private
collection
Can take significant amount of time to determine
site locations
Next steps: Begin negotiations with Granville County. Design waste stream process and funding
system with consultant. Release RFP for construction of convenience centers. Determine whether or
not to contract out for operations and/or hauling. PI has expressed interest in operating the
convenience center sites.
Recommended Action: Direct staff to move forward with an option
