Approval of Minutes of May 5, 2014 B. Budget Amendment #14 C. Tax Adjustments for April 2014 a. April 2014 Tax Releases b. April 2014 NC Vehicle Tax System pending refunds UNFINISHED BUSINESS: RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE REMEDIATION OF WATER CONTAMINATION RELATED TO COAL COMBUSTION WASTE AND REMOVAL OF COAL COMBUSTION WASTE: At the Board’s April 21, 2014 meeting, it was the consensus of the Board to table action on the Resolution supporting the Remediation of Water Contamination related to Coal Combustion Waste and removal of Coal Combustion Waste until after the joint session meeting with the City of Roxboro on May 8, 2014 to allow the information session to be held related to the Dan River spill. The Resolution supporting the Remediation of Water Contamination related to Coal Combustion Waste and removal of Coal Combustion Waste was adopted by the Kerr Tar Council of Government (COG) Board of Directors at their April 24, 2014 meeting. The resolution was provided by the Dan River Association to the COG and that COG staff had passed the resolution to the member governments for each governing body to consider adopting. Commissioner Blalock provided input and added the last whereas statement in the resolution before the Board of Commissioners. Ms. Tanya Evans, District Manager for Duke Energy, who was added to the agenda to speak on this item, told the Board the Dan River Basin Association and the COG adopted the Resolution supporting the Remediation of Water Contamination related to Coal Combustion Waste and removal of Coal Combustion Waste without expert presentations and accurate data to substantiate the facts outlined within the resolution. Ms. Evans stated there are not 13 coal combustion waste impoundments but six coal ash basins. The resolution referred to toxicants however Ms. Evans stated that less than 1% of the coal ash is heavy metal reiterating the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has deemed coal ash as a non-hazardous waste that is permitted into municipal landfills. Ms. Evans stated the 82,000 tons of coal combustion waste should be 39,000 tons and that $1.5B estimated damage is not economically correct noting Duke Energy’s shareholders will bear all costs in rectifying the issue. Ms. Evans stated remediation began immediately and Duke Energy has been working with the state Department of Environmental & Natural Resources (DENR) and EPA with dredging to remove the coal ash deposits as well as removal of coal combustion waste away from the Dan River and any other sources of drinking water. 9 May 19, 2014 5 Ms. Evans illustrated through handouts how retired ash basins are being used, i.e. dense forests and a wildlife refuge (located in central NC and retired in the 70’s with monitoring) noting the resolution before the Board would provide that the trees and land will be taken away to allow permanent storage elsewhere. Ms. Evans reminded the group that she went on record on May 8, 2014 stating Duke Energy would do what it takes to make it right. Mr. Greg Duhon, Upper Piedmont Landfill Manager, asked the Board to consider the special waste definition noting coal ash is allowed by regulated policy of the EPA. Mr. Duhon noted liability of any such material into the landfill would still remain in the responsible owner, in this case, Duke Energy, to which the Upper Piedmont, a private owned facility would remediate should the need arise. Mr. Duhon stated water and air sampling is still performed and will continue to be done even if down-the-road the landfill were to close. Commissioner Blalock, before the meeting, placed a draft Resolution for a Moratorium on Coal Ash transfer to Municipal Solid Waste Landfills at each commissioner’s seat for consideration in lieu of the Resolution supporting the Remediation of Water Contamination related to Coal Combustion Waste and removal of Coal Combustion Waste. The text for the proposed resolution follows: RESOLUTION FOR A MORATORIUM ON COAL ASH TRANSFER TO MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE LANDFILLS WHEREAS, coal combustion waste contains toxicants such as arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium, chromium, and selenium, and the toxicants in coal combustion waste are linked to cancer and neurological damage in humans, as well as harm to wildlife, especially water-dwelling species; and WHEREAS, on February 2, 2014 thousands of tons of coal combustion waste and millions of gallons of contaminated water spilled into the Dan River and the Dan River Power Station near the City of Eden, and WHEREAS, coal ash is a special waste not fit for municipal solid waste landfills and should be put in a protected structure on Duke Energy property, thereby preventing the transfer of liability from private to public entities; and WHEREAS, on January 29, 2014 the United States Department of Justice lodged a consent decree with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia that requires the US Environmental Protection Agency to publish a final rule addressing the disposal of coal ash by Dec. 19, 2014; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that no coal combustion waste be placed in any Person County municipal solid waste landfill before the Unites States Environmental Protection Agency shall have published in the federal register the final coal combustion residuals rule. 10 May 19, 2014 6 BE IT KNOWN that the Person County Board of Commissioners members were present on this day of _________, and the foregoing Resolution was duly adopted by a vote of the members, and that said Resolution has been duly recorded in the Board minutes and is in full force and effect. Commissioner Blalock requested Board consideration to adopt the resolution for a moratorium until such time a ruling is made by EPA. The expected date for a ruling is December 19, 2014 and Commissioner Blalock stated the fact EPA has taken such a long time in publishing a ruling is detrimental to the air and water environment and the health of citizens in Person County. County Attorney, Ron Aycock addressed the contractual issues related to the proposed Resolution for a moratorium on coal ash transfer to municipal solid waste landfills noting by adopting such resolution would initiate a ban on moving coal combustion products to the landfill. Mr. Aycock said the county could make a request (not mandate) for the landfill to exclude acceptance of a material that falls within the category of other wastes that may put at risk or danger to the environment until an examination takes place to verify if a danger or risk to the environment is present and/or until the EPA makes a ruling addressing the disposal of coal ash. Mr. Aycock further noted the coal ash from the Dan River is being sent to the landfill under permitted, regulatory provision outlined by the state. Commissioner Puryear stated consideration to table action due to the fact the proposed resolution was not in the Board packet and the Board members have not had sufficient time to review. Commissioner Newell asked to revise his comments at the Board’s November 8, 2013 meeting noting since that time, his analysis is that coal ash has been around here forever granted the situation in Danville appeared to be a catastrophic event but to his knowledge, no one has been injured, in fact, the current water levels in his opinion would not even mandate the clean-up. Commissioner Newell continued by stating that Duke Energy is being asked to stop a certain part of the business and he is unsure if the Board has enough facts to make that demand and did not want the Board to act on emotion. Commissioner Newell wondered if anyone would have made a statement if the ash pond was being cleaned up and the spill had not taken place. Commissioner Newell added there is no proof that the material is hazardous, even though the material has hazardous content which has been here since the beginning of time and he has not heard of anyone dying from coal ash. Commissioner Newell stated he still feels that coal ash should be stored on the company’s own property to which the County has licensed them to put coal ash in their own landfill. A motion was made by Commissioner Newell and carried 5-0 to table action related to the Resolution for a moratorium on coal ash transfer to municipal solid waste landfills. 11 May 19, 2014 7 Mr. Duhon clarified the EPA ruling is predicated upon the fact that the guidelines set forth in 40CFR Section 261.4 lists coal ash as being excluded from the hazardous waste list noting EPA has been asked to review is whether or not required analysis of the material rather than to assume that is non-hazardous. By the current regulations, Mr. Duhon stated Upper Piedmont Environmental is fully within its rights and regulatory guidelines to accept coal ash from energy production without any sort of documentation. Mr. Duhon added EPA is considering the requirement of analytical data to determine toxicity levels. PUBLIC SAFETY COMMUNICATION SYSTEM: UPDATED FEASIBILITY STUDY: Assistant County Manager, Sybil Tate reminded the Board that on April 21, 2014, the Board funded an upgrade to the feasibility study to investigate two additional options for moving forward with the public safety communication/broadband project. The feasibility study includes the annual cost, total cost and timeline for two additional options for constructing public safety towers. Mr. Frank Marum, Partner of TSS Partners provided the Board with a presentation for the updated feasibility study options as follows: 12 May 19, 2014 8 13 May 19, 2014 9 County Manager, Heidi York stated Option 3 (1 tower per year) limits the ability to finance the project. Ms. York noted no funding was included in the Recommended Budget with an adjustment possibly needed once the Board determines its preference for the project. Commissioner Puryear stated his preference with Option 2 (2 towers per year). It was the consensus of the group to continue discussion on this item during a budget work session. NEW BUSINESS: UPTOWN DEVELOPMENT UPDATE: Abby Gentry, Director of Uptown Development and Roxboro Development Group reminded the group that through the collaborative efforts of the City of Roxboro and Person County, the Uptown Development Director position was created in 2012 to focus on the economic development and historic preservation needs of Uptown Roxboro by working alongside the North Carolina Main Street program, the Roxboro Development Group, the City of Roxboro, and Person County. This was the first Uptown Development Update to the County Commissioners since the position of Uptown Development Director was filled in December of 2012. Ms. Gentry stated the updates will be scheduled quarterly to ensure the County Commissioners are aware of developments occurring in Uptown Roxboro. The updates will include but are not limited to: beautification efforts, previous event statistics, future event plans, building activity, business activity, statistical information, and project development. Ms. Gentry gave the Board an update through the following presentation: 14 May 19, 2014 10 15 May 19, 2014 11 16 May 19, 2014 12 17 May 19, 2014 13 18 May 19, 2014 14 19 May 19, 2014 15 20 May 19, 2014 16 21 May 19, 2014 17 22 May 19, 2014 18 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS: Chairman Clayton stated he requested this item be added to the agenda at the request of the Economic Development Commission (EDC) who met last week and discussed and voted unanimously to recommend to the Board of Commissioners the following changes in the membership. 1. To allow the County Manager and the City Manager to serve as “ex officio” members in order to open up two additional voting seats. One of these seats would be appointed by the City Council, the other seat would be appointed by the Commissioners, 2. To allow the Chairman of both the Roxboro Development Group and Chamber of Commerce Boards the opportunity to choose an alternate from their executive board to serve on the EDC for their term, and 3. To allow the seat currently assigned to the Director of the Piedmont Community College Small Business Center to be held by the Piedmont Community College’s Dean of Corporate and Occupational Training. Chairman Clayton noted the EDC was limited by general statute to nine members. Economic Development Director, Stuart Gilbert added the recommended changes resulted from discussion to have more community representatives. Mr. Gilbert said the EDC had also discussed giving voting privileges to the City and County Managers to act in the absence of the Mayor and Chairman of the Board of Commissioners. Commissioner Puryear asked if any members of the EDC were compensated for their service. Chairman Clayton and County Manager, Heidi York stated no compensation is extended to any member of EDC. Commissioner Puryear asked the County Attorney if he had a conflict with this item. County Attorney, Ron Aycock stated Commissioner Puryear did not have any conflict of interest participating in the discussion or action of this item before the Commissioners. Vice Chairman Jeffers requested the following changes to the EDC’s recommendation for membership and asked staff to bring back an amended resolution: • The seat held by the Person County Manager be changed to a County appointed representative of a county business, • The seat held by the City of Roxboro City Manager be changed to a City appointed representative of a city business, and • The seat held by the Director, Piedmont Community Small Business Center, recommended to be held by the Dean of Corporate and Occupational Training serve as “ex officio” and to change the seat to a member at-large seat. • There were no further changes to the EDC recommendation for the elected Chairman of both the Roxboro Chamber of Commerce and Roxboro Development Group to choose an alternate from their respective executive board to serve on the EDC for his/her term or for the City and County Managers to serve “ex officio” without voting authority. 23 May 19, 2014 19 Mr. Aycock suggested the Board allow staff to revise the wording for an amended resolution based on the Board’s policy decision and bring back to the Board to confirm. A motion was made by Vice Chairman Jeffers, and carried 5-0 to recommend the following changes in the Economic Development Board’s membership and to have staff to amend the Resolution Reconstructing the membership of the Person County Economic Development Board and bring back to the Board’s next meeting: • The seat held by the Person County Manager be changed to a County appointed representative of a county business, • The seat held by the City of Roxboro City Manager be changed to a City appointed representative of a city business, • The seat held by the Director, Piedmont Community Small Business Center, recommended to be held by the Dean of Corporate and Occupational Training serve as “ex officio” and to change the seat to a member at-large seat appointed by the County, and • To allow the elected Chairman of both the Roxboro Chamber of Commerce and Roxboro Development Group to have the opportunity for his/her term to choose an alternate from their respective executive board to serve on the EDC. As recommended by EDC, the City Manager and County Manager would serve “ex officio” without voting authority. PRESENTATION OF THE FISCAL YEAR 2014-2015 RECOMMENDED BUDGET: County Manager, Heidi York stated North Carolina General Statutes require that on or before June 1, the manager present her recommended budget for the next fiscal year to the Board of Commissioners. Ms. York noted the Recommended Budget maintains the current tax rate and makes strides toward restoration of fund balance. Highlights include: • Reduced fund balance allocation by $77,877 • Reduced CIP funding by $942,710 • Senior Rec Center funding is in a project fund, which is set aside for that project • Public Safety Communication funding can be pulled from FY15 contingency, or if timing allows, funding could be pulled from current year contingency…it will likely be financed, so a reimbursement of the funds is possible • Small increases to education budget: Person County Schools approximately .5% and Piedmont Community College approximately 1%. 24 May 19, 2014 20 Ms. York provided the Board with an overview of the Fiscal Year 2014-2015 Recommend Budget through the following presentation: 25 May 19, 2014 21 Ms. York estimated an additional $19,000 in revenues for FY15. 26 May 19, 2014 22 27 May 19, 2014 23 Debt Service ratio is calculated as annual debt service divided by total expenses. o a loss of $95M for FY15 o FY14 was the reval year, tax year for reval was 2013 o These represent budgeted numbers for property tax base 28 May 19, 2014 24 Ms. York stated for the 8th consecutive year, the tax rate remains at .70 per $100 valuation. Ms. York recommended appropriations from Fund Balance to be halted with other alternative revenue sources pursued by either a tax rate increase or substantial reductions in spending. 29 May 19, 2014 25 30 May 19, 2014 26 The General Fund provides for services funded through property tax dollars which had a decrease in revenues and an increase in expenditures. Adjusting collection rate by quarter percentage provides additional $70,000. A decrease in revenues due to the exclusion of one-time bonus in motor vehicle collections from the State’s new Tax & Tag together program which gave the County 16 months of collections over a 12 month period. There is some growth in tax base due to investments (Eaton & GKN $577K). 31 May 19, 2014 27 $85M in tax base growth (+$577,150, primarily from Eaton and GKN investments), higher than estimated DMV revenues (+$188,946) and an increase in the collection rate from 97% to 97.25% (+$69,300) helped bring the net loss down to $386,804 instead of the full $776,675. The Tax and Tag revenues are estimated using a collection rate of 99% in FY15. 32 May 19, 2014 28 Ms. York stated the stormwater fees will remain flat $239,000. Ms. York noted the new merit pay system in its first year of implementation caused increases in all salary lines. This was exempted in the flat spending requirement. Ms. York reminded the Board approved 10.2 positions in the current fiscal year. 33 May 19, 2014 29 34 May 19, 2014 30 Ms. York stated the City of Roxboro’s increase was 2% or $7,333 for FY15 for a total contract of $373,964 for FY15. 35 May 19, 2014 31 36 May 19, 2014 32 Ms. York stated Person County is 80th out of 100 counties for highest pupil funding. Dare County funds the most per pupil with $6,516 per pupil, Orange is next with $5,562 per pupil. Person County is on par with Avery, Macon and Currituck Counties with each funding approximately $2,800 per pupil. Since 2008, ADM has decreased by 14.81%, while the county’s current expense allotment has increased by 6.59%. 37 May 19, 2014 33 Ms. York noted RTRP dues increased by $8,000; Person County’s dues are $12,000 annually; .30 per capita. 38 May 19, 2014 34 Employee compensation is one area that over the past several fiscal years has been hit heavily as a means of balancing the budget in the midst of declining revenues and increased demands on services which has created not only morale issues, but also impacted new recruitment. 39 May 19, 2014 35 40 May 19, 2014 36 Ms. York recognized and thanked the Budget Team: Amy Wehrenberg, Laura Jensen, Sybil Tate, Russell Jones and Angie Warren. Ms. York thanked the Board members for meeting with her individually to preview the Recommended Budget. 41 May 19, 2014 37 Vice Chairman Jeffers requested information from Person County Schools Superintendent, present in the audience; the amount in the School’s Fund Balance and what percentage of that balance does it represent the county budget. CHAIRMAN’S & COMMISSIONER REPORT: Neither Chairman Clayton nor any member of the Board had a report. MANAGER’S REPORT: County Manager, Heidi York introduced Mr. Adam Decker, MPA student at UNC Chapel Hill who also is in the military who will be sponsored by the US Army to intern this summer with Person County. Chairman Clayton announced a brief recess at 11:30 am prior to the budget work session. BUDGET WORK SESSION: Chairman Clayton called the recessed meeting to order for the purpose of a budget work session at 11:45 am. County Manager, Heidi York opened the floor at the budget work session for the Board to ask questions. Vice Chairman Jeffers suggested the Board discuss Health Insurance. Ms. York stated initially Coventry gave Person County a renewal proposal with a 21% increase to which Person County decided to go out for bids. After going out for bid, Coventry came back with a 13% increase and the League of Municipalities bid with a 5.3% increase. Ms. York stated her Recommended Budget went with the lower bid due to the difference costing the County an additional $132,272. Commissioner Newell asked about the cost sharing from Coventry. Ms. York explained the County may receive a savings if the loss ratio is under 86% for the year. Ms. York stated there was no guarantee to receive noting historical data has the County over 100%. Commissioner Newell also asked about the discounts both Coventry and the League offer providers on billable claims. The discount Coventry offered is 60.5% compared to 45.4% by the League. 42 May 19, 2014 38 Mr. Phillip Allen, Broker on behalf of Person County for health benefits (along with Bryan Bickley of Scott Insurance, who was unable to attend the Board meeting), stated he and Coventry had given the League data to bid insurance services that mirror the current plan noting the negotiation process has Person County as the beneficiary. Mr. Allen provided savings data of over $1M for the five years prior to Ms. York as the County Manager and over $1.5M during the five years as County Manager. Mr. Allen told the Board Coventry offered Person County the best carrier, best broker and professional services through Scott Insurance and select partners. Mr. Allen confirmed the Coventry proposal has been updated to only an 8% increase over the current plan ($65,000 over current premium) and recommended the Board to go with the carrier with the deepest discounts if concerned about claims. Commissioner Blalock advocated for wellness initiatives and asked Mr. Allen if Coventry could provide employee access to health and fitness gyms at no costs. Mr. Allen stated he would check on a fitness incentive. A motion was made by Commissioner Newell, and carried 3-2 to remain with Coventry for health benefits for Fiscal Year 2014-2015. Vice Chairman Jeffers and Commissioners Puryear and Newell voted in favor of the motion. Chairman Clayton and Commissioner Blalock voted against the motion. The Board elected to discuss the Sheriff’s Office food and services contract for inmates next. Vice Chairman Jeffers noted the Recommended Budget shows an increase of about $93,000 over the $115,900 increase in that contract last year which takes it up to over $571,500. Vice Chairman Jeffers stated his desire to have the contract bid out and wondered if the local hospital and/or nursing home would be interested in providing a quote. Sheriff Jones explained when the last five-year contract ended, he spoke with individuals interested but when he explained the other services included in the contract, and they were no longer interested. Sheriff Jones stated the Jail requires 7,000 more meals currently over last year and noted the contract also includes canteen, phone cards, laundry, supplies, and equipment provisions. Sheriff Jones said the $2.90 cost per meal has remained flat the last several years and his average number of inmates is 120 daily. Finance Director, Amy Wehrenberg stated the County receives revenue from the phone cards and concessions to the amount of $25,000. Ms. York stated she would contact the local hospital and nursing home to inquire of their interest in providing a proposal for consideration. The Board then discussed the Person County School budget. Superintendent Dan Holloman was present at the budget work session and commented the School’s Fund Balance is $781,500 which represents 8.6% of the county appropriation. 43 May 19, 2014 39 Ms. York stated the Recommended Budget included an appropriation of $24,000 for teacher supplements to which she took into account the Governor’s recommendation. To fulfill the teacher (certified) supplement from the Schools’ the appropriation would be at $60,783. Ms. York noted she did not include in the Recommended Budget any funding for the initial supplement for classified school’s staff ($146,200) nor the principals’ supplement request ($13,770). Ms. York further noted the total supplement requests for all categories not recommended in the Manager’s Budget totaled $196,440. Mr. Holloman clarified as the ADM is declining for traditional schools; the ADM follows each child in charter schools as well. Approximately 4,600 students are enrolled in traditional public schools and 1,000 participate in charter schools. Mr. Holloman the ADM appropriation to charter schools is between $1.7M to $1.8M. Mr. Holloman stated the state has not funded any technology requests the last two fiscal years and the technology funds retained by the schools are carried-over from year to year. The Board next discussed fire services. Commissioner Blalock asked the group if a fire tax would be more appropriate than a county appropriation. Vice Chairman Jeffers stated the county developed a formula last year based on call volume data but that was not used in the Recommended Budget. Ms. York noted the intention to alternate funding increases between the City of Roxboro and the volunteer fire departments (VFD) every two years. Ms. York stated she would bring back options to fund the VFDs based on call volume and a flat 2%. The Board proceeded to discuss the vehicles recommended for replacement. Commissioner Newell asked if the vehicles recommended for replacement could be skipped for next year. Ms. York stated the ambulances are on annual rotation and that option was skipped in the current budget year with two due for replacement next year. Ms. York noted the Sheriff requested eight vehicle replacements and she recommended seven due to mileage and age of the vehicles. Commissioner Puryear requested a report justifying the replacement of the recommended vehicles that included mileage and maintenance history. Vice Chairman Jeffers suggested a fleet contract for maintenance and service for the county. Commissioner Newell asked about staffing in the Inspections Department as an example for the Manger to justify the number of employees to match the workload. Vice Chairman Jeffers requested more information related to the Kirby sound equipment purchase versus renting. Other topics up for discussion include funding requests for Personality, Drug Court, Person County Partnership for Children and the employee’s compensation study. 44 May 19, 2014 40 Commissioner Blalock advocated for departments to do what is necessary to save money. Commissioner Puryear asked for more information on overtime and good management to lower overtime costs for those departments that went over their budgeted appropriation. Commissioner Puryear asked if NC FAST was necessary to implement. Ms. York told the group NC FAST is mandated by the state and the Governor is recommending more positions to support the program. RECESS: A motion was made by Commissioner Blalock, and carried 5-0 to recess the meeting at 1:45 pm until May 27, 2014 at 2:00 pm for the purposed of a budget work session. _____________________________ ______________________________ Brenda B.

Clayton Heidi York, County Manager Kyle W. Puryear B. Ray Jeffers Brenda B. Reaves, Clerk to the Board Frances P. Blalock David Newell, Sr. The Board of Commissioners for the County of Person, North Carolina, met in recessed session on Tuesday, May 27, 2014 at 2:00 pm in the Commissioners’ meeting room in the Person County Office Building for the purpose of a budget work session. Chairman Clayton called the recessed meeting to order. County Manager, Heidi York presented the following items for discussion: Follow-up Information from May 19th work session Heidi York DSS Funding Carlton Paylor Person Industries & Recycling Center Funding Becky Clayton Unified Development Ordinance Sybil Tate Broadband/Public Safety Communication Towers Sybil Tate Recap of Adjustments Made to Recommended Budget Amy Wehrenberg FOLLOW-UP INFORMATION FROM MAY 19TH WORK SESSION: County Manager, Heidi York provided a memorandum for follow-up information for the Fiscal Year 2014-2015 budget work session held by the Board on May 19, 2014. Ms. York highlighted the memo with the Board of Commissioners. 1. Sheriff food service contract: explore whether the Hospital and/or Roxboro Nursing Facility are interested in providing meals to jail inmates and whether their rate would be competitive. (Vice Chairman Jeffers) Both the Roxboro Nursing Center and Person Memorial Hospital were contacted regarding their potential interest in providing meals at the Detention Center. Ms. York spoke with Ms. Angela Wallace and Ms. Jill Strickland of Roxboro Nursing Center. The ladies stated that they did not have the staffing or the resources to provide meals at the amount and frequency needed. Ms. York explained that the contract may allow for their expansion of staff and resources but they clearly were not interested in talking further. Person Memorial Hospital explained that their food services are outsourced to Sodexo and that they did not have any interest in providing meals to inmates, but they would also talk with the vendor. They called back and confirmed that they were not interested in expanding into inmate meals. 46 May 27, 2014 2 2. School Funding: provide the cost for a 2% increase for all employees (certified teachers, classified staff and principals). (Vice Chairman Jeffers) Personnel FY14 Adopted FY15 Requested FY15 Recommended Inc/Dec from FY14 Adopted Certified Teachers Supplements $1,215,650 $1,276,433 $1,239,963 $24,313 Classified Supplements $0 $146,200 $0 $0 Principal Supplements $180,000 $191,000 $180,000 $0 TOTAL $24,313 An additional $196,440 would be needed to fully fund the school’s supplement request. Personnel Remaining Amount to be Funded Certified Teachers Supplements $36,470 Classified Supplements $146,200 Principal Supplements $13,770 TOTAL $196,440 Ms. York explained the School’s request for operating capital (not eligible for the Capital Improvement Plan) at $523,100 to which the Manager’s Recommended Budget at $475,300 reflected one activity bus being funded versus the two requested and the addition of $40,000 for the Helena emergency access driveway project. 3. Volunteer Fire Departments: bring back the amounts for a 2% increase for all districts as well as the call volume funding formula that was implemented for FY14. (Vice Chairman Jeffers) Ms. York stated the Manager’s Recommended Budget reflected a flat budget for the Volunteer Fire Departments (VFD) noting the intention to alternate the 2% increase based on call volume for fire services with the City of Roxboro Fire Department. The tables below provide options for distributing a 2% increase. • Table 1 shows the 2% increase distributed evenly to each VFD. • Table 2 shows the 2% increase distributed by call volume. • Table 3 shows the 2% increase redistributed based on call volume. 47 May 27, 2014 3 Table 1. 2% Increase distributed evenly to each VFD FY14 FY15 Rec. 2% increase Total Allensville $ 43,533 $ 43,533 $ 871 $ 44,404 Ceffo $ 87,046 $ 87,046 $ 1,741 $ 88,787 Hurdle Mills $ 87,073 $ 87,073 $ 1,741 $ 88,815 Moriah $ 86,956 $ 86,956 $ 1,739 $ 88,695 Semora $ 13,958 $ 13,958 $ 279 $ 14,237 Timberlake $ 45,107 $ 45,107 $ 902 $ 46,009 Triple Springs $ 43,551 $ 43,551 $ 871 $ 44,422 Woodsdale $ 43,401 $ 64,826* $ 1,297 $ 66,123 Rescue $ 44,106 $ 44,106 $ 882 $ 44,988 TOTAL $ 494,731 $ 516,156 $ 10,323 $ 526,479 *6 months of funding for an additional station +$21,425 contingent upon state certification Table 2. 2% Increase distributed based on call volume VFD FY14 FY15 Rec.

City Fire Contract: how many trucks does the City operate and what are their staffing levels? (Commissioner Blalock) • Station One: 3 FT people, M-F from 8:00 – 5:00; Vehicles: Confined Space Rescue, Truck and Trailer, Engine One, Rehab Trailer, Fire Investigation Vehicle • Station Two: 3 FT people, 24 hrs per day; Vehicles: Ladder One and Engine Two • Station Three: 3 FT people, 24 hrs per day.; Vehicles: Engine Three and Engine Four Ms. York reported this information is provided by the City’s Chief Torain. The contract calls for 3 people and an engine from Roxboro on structure fires. Chief Torain provided that an average have 8-12 people are on scene from Roxboro. The City has a 7- person Fire Investigation Team, which were recognized as Fire Investigators of the Year from the state fire organization, and 11-person Firefighter Honor Guard. Also, the City has a Confined Space Team that provides confine space rescue for most of the industry in Person County and is the name team for the county when they go into a confine space. Additional the City has a Smoke House that is staffed with at least 2 people when it goes into the county and outside the county. Commissioner Blalock requested the call volume data for the City Fire Dept. 49 May 27, 2014 5 5. Vehicles: a) Provide make, mileage, vehicles to be rotated and vehicles to be purchased, as well as the criteria. (Commissioner Newell) Dept. Old Vehicle Mileage New Vehicle Cost of replacement Sheriff 2000 Ford Van 106,129 Dodge Charger $26,500 Sheriff 2009 Ford Explorer 93,623 Dodge Charger $26,500 Sheriff 2009 Ford Explorer 99,763 Dodge Charger $26,500 Sheriff 2004 Ford Crown 106,896 Dodge Charger $26,500 Sheriff 2006 Dodge Magnum 94,707 Dodge Charger $26,500 Sheriff 2006 Ford Crown 92,503 Dodge Charger $26,500 Sheriff 2006 Ford Crown 99,451 Dodge Charger $26,500 DSS 2004 Ford Taurus 100,879 4x4 Ford Explorer $31,930 EMS 2008 Ambulance 144,459 Dodge/Ford Amb. $190,000 Animal Services 2007 Ford F-150 105,169 4x4 Ford F- 150 $28,000 P&R (Mayo) 2004 Ford F-150 123,198 4x4 Ford F- 150 $27,000 PATS (90% reimburseable) 2006 Ford Van 152,310 Van $47,925 PATS (90% reimburseable) 2008 Light Transit Vehicle 164,533 Light Transport Vehicle $57,082 TOTAL $567,437 The Vehicle Replacement Policy was provided noting the suggested replacement criteria as follows: Vehicle Description Maximum Mileage Sheriff Patrol/Pursuit Vehicles 90,000 Sheriff Admin Vehicles 100,000 Ambulances 250,000 Trucks/Vans/Utility Vehicles 100,000 Cars – Normal Use 125,000 50 May 27, 2014 6 Commissioner Newell questioned why the ambulance was being recommended when it did not meet the maximum mileage criteria. Ms. York, Mr. Wes Lail, Emergency Management Director and Mr. Greg White, EMS Operations Manager explained the annual rotation program for the ambulances was skipped this fiscal year and the recommended ambulances were based on mileage and maintenance issues. Commissioner Puryear suggested extending the maximum mileage criteria for trucks/vans/utility vehicles to 125,000. Finance Director, Amy Wehrenberg illustrated the PATS reimbursable costs shown as revenue in the General Fund revenue budget. Commissioner Newell asked Ms. Wehrenberg for vehicle maintenance reports for the last five years. Sheriff Dewey Jones provided maintenance reports for a few of the Sheriff’s Office fleet for information noting the more mileage, the more maintenance costs associated. Ms. York stated the county has a total fleet of 150 vehicles. Ms. York noted if vehicle replacements are deferred, departments will need to increase their vehicle maintenance lines as follows (Total $9,500): • Sheriff (7): $5,000 • Mayo (1): $1,000 • DSS (1): $2,000 • Animal Services (1): $1,500 b) Provide information on efforts to bid out maintenance service of vehicles (Vice Chairman Jeffers) In 2012, consolidating vehicle maintenance with a single provider was explored. Informal requests for interests were made with local garages/repair shops. Most did not have the capacity to service the county’s fleet of approximately 150 vehicles. They did not want to displace their current customers. The County explored the idea with the City of Roxboro and while they were interested in consolidating vehicle maintenance, in order to accommodate the county fleet, the county would need to build an additional bay and hire additional staff. This negated any savings to be generated. The County has analyzed the county’s fleet maintenance costs intensively since 2004 and are currently averaging around $100,000 per year on maintenance (mostly oil changes and tires). These services are performed by local garages, whichever can accommodate the needs at the time. The prices are competitive across all service providers. Commissioner Newell questioned the average cost of $100,000 noting between the Sheriff’s Office and the PATS’ budgets $140,000 was budgeted, and a total of $235,000 in the Recommended Budget. Ms. Wehrenberg and Ms. York explained the average was based on a five-year report noting factors, such as, hail damage, that are reimbursable by insurance will often inflate the data on the expenditure side when there is a revenue. 51 May 27, 2014 7 c) Provide details about the ambulance purchase (Vice Chairman Jeffers) The request is for a full replacement ambulance—not a remount. A remount was done just prior to my arrival. Mr. White is requesting to replace EMS -8 and is convinced he can get a new replacement ambulance in the $190,000 range by going with a Dodge or Ford chassis versus the Freightliner as has been the practice in the past. A Freightliner chassis would put the amount well over $200,000 (as evidenced by the most recent ambulance purchase). While a remount does afford some cost savings, one must consider that a remount is not a new ambulance; any problems experienced previously with the old box (e.g. electronics, seals, etc.) are transferred to a new chassis. Listed below is information concerning the ambulances Mr. White is considering for replacement. He would like to replace EMS-8 due to air ride suspension issues. EMS-8 Chevy 2008 Model 144,459 miles to date EMS-9 Chevy 2008 Model 148,741 miles to date Technically, these two ambulances are listed as reserve units, but they are constantly used for 4th out and 5th out calls. Also, they are frequently used to fill-in for the three frontline units when repairs or other maintenance are required. Essentially, all five units must be frontline ready. The older the vehicle and the more miles accrued, the more maintenance required. Vice Chairman Jeffers requested call volume data (pre-WASS to present) for Basic Life Service (BLS) and Advanced Life Service (ALS) provided by both EMS and WASS. Vice Chairman Jeffers suggested any BLS calls be transferred to WASS to leave available the county units for ALS calls to decrease county expenses. Commissioner Newell asked about the quality and pricing difference related to the Dodge, Ford and Freightliner chassis. Mr. Lail and Mr. White stated the Freightliner, or referred as International if a heavier chassis and more expensive noting the Dodge and Ford are pretty comparable and provide a better ride for the patient as well as travel on curvy roads better. 6. Sheriff’s Office: are they evaluating ways to reduce vehicle mileage? (Commissioner Blalock) The Sheriff’s office responded to 18,385 calls for service from May 1, 2013 to May 1, 2014. During this same time frame there were 2,367 incident reports taken which most required follow-up investigations the remaining calls were calls for service (911 hang ups, alarms, suspicious activity etc.) and during this time frame we made 3,259 arrests. The Sheriff’s Office is also responsible for transports of inmates and the transports of mental patients. Within the last 12 months, 169 inmates and 157 mental patients logging in around 41,631+ miles were transported. 52 May 27, 2014 8 The Sheriff evaluates the call volume for many different reasons; one is for staffing and officer assignments as well as study the time of day the most calls come in, the day of week, and the locations. With these results, staffing is done to reduce response time and distance. The Sheriff’s Office answers different types of calls where more than one officer needs to respond (Domestic violence, mental patient, shots fired etc.) Also an average miles driven analysis for all vehicles was completed and the average is 15,625 miles per year. Marked patrol cars average more with investigators and SRO much lower. Sheriff Jones noted vehicles are rotated among staff for lesser use to lessen mileage and maintenance issues. 7. Overtime Costs: Provide the overtime cost data; would like to see trend over last 3-4 years (Commissioner Puryear) Ms. York stated staff had accurately classified positions according to the Fair Labor Standards Acts to designate exempt employees. Sheriff Jones stated he is allowed to work a 42-hour work week and gives comp time in lieu of paying over time.

Kirby Sound Equipment: clarify what the $22,000 will be purchasing (Vice Chairman Jeffers) In FY13, the Board allocated $17,000 to upgrade the sound equipment which paid for replacement speakers and an intercom system. At the March 17th Board meeting, the Arts Council requested that the county match their contribution of $4,510 with $22,865 to upgrade the sound equipment and add additional sound paneling. Below are the items that will be purchased: ITEM COST Acoustic sound panels $9,989 Sound Board $3,368 Drive rack $718 Speakers (sub woofers) $2,176 Pick-up (amplifier) $1,048 Headset $7,076 Microphones and Misc. $3,000 TOTAL $27,375 Vice Chairman Jeffers stated he wanted to review the meeting video to review the renting equipment versus purchase. Assistant Finance Director, Laura Jensen asked the group to replace pages 109-110 in the Recommended Budget books noting an error was made on page 110 impacting the Revenues (Summary) section only. Ms. Jensen further noted the Capital expenditure item listed as $22,685 should read $22,865 which would impact the budget $180 to be funded. 9. Inspections Department: provide information on the staffing levels and workload data for the Inspectors (Commissioner Newell) In Sept. 2012, the Person County Inspections department was evaluated by the Building Code Effectiveness Grading Schedule (BCEGS). Part of the evaluation included a review of staffing levels. The BCEGS uses the benchmark of 10 inspections per day per full-time inspector. Using the BCEGS methodology, Person County inspectors currently average 11.9 inspections per inspector/day in FY14. Currently there are five inspectors plus one fire inspector. 54 May 27, 2014 10 10. Mental Health Funding – What are the statutory requirements for local funds being sent to Cardinal Innovations (Commissioner Blalock)? Recommended funding for Mental Health for FY15 is $312,634. All of these funds are recommended to go to Cardinal Innovations. The General Statute that governs mental health funding is § 122C-115 - Duties of counties; appropriation and allocation of funds by counties and cities: (d) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, counties shall not reduce county appropriations and expenditures for current operations and ongoing programs and services of area authorities or county programs because of the availability of State-allocated funds, fees, capitation amounts, or fund balance to the area authority or county program. Counties may reduce county appropriations by the amount previously appropriated by the county for one-time, nonrecurring special needs of the area authority or county program. DSS FUNDING: DSS Director, Carlton Paylor was available to answer questions from Board members related to revenues and expenditures as federal, state or local pass-through funding. Ms. York noted the increase in Fund 10 by $469,000 is due to revenues decreasing. The increases in full-time and contracted services are due to the NC FAST program challenges that are mandated by the state. Commissioner Newell asked how many years are left on the facility lease. Ms. Jensen stated the lease date was in effect in 2004 for 20-years, therefore 10 more years remain on the lease. An increase in the lease amount by $9,000 annual will impact the budget process next fiscal year. The current annual lease payment is approximately $85,000. PERSON INDUSTRIES & RECYCLING CENTER FUNDING: PI Director, Becky Clayton was asked by Commissioner Puryear to explain the increase in the temporary employee budget. Ms. Clayton stated PI is experiencing an increase in community contracts and temporary employees are hired to meet the commitment, in particular, the contract with Eaton Corp. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE: County Manager, Heidi York provided the Board with the pros and cons of a Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) noting both the City and County would maintain separate ordinances, and not a combined ordinance as originally presented. Ms. York noted the new Planning Director recently hired would be able to provide insight to the process and review if the county decides to transition to such. The Manager did not include any funding for a UDO in her Recommended Budget. 55 May 27, 2014 11 The City plans to include subdivision, zoning and flood plain regulations. The County could include the same regulations. Pros Cons • Updates ordinances (current zoning ordinance was written in 1991) • Reduces inconsistencies • Puts City and County ordinances into one document/location • Possible cost savings • If multiple jurisdictions are involved, a UDO can provide consistency between jurisdictions, providing clarity and consistency for the development community. • Cost (estimated at $30,000 for FY15) • Organizational structure of the Planning departments does not reflect a joint UDO • Authority structure (ie. City, County, Planning Boards) does not reflect a joint UDO • For multi-jurisdictional UDOs, there may not be agreement across municipalities on development issues, reducing some of the anticipated consistency. Once an ordinance is in place, the ordinances may change over time, and uniformity will be lost, if a process is not in place for regular communication and action on zoning text changes. It was the consensus of the Board to not include any funding in the budget for a Unified Development Ordinance. Commissioner Puryear asked about an office for the City Planner, Aaron Holland. Ms. York stated Mr. Holland will remain in the county building. BROADBAND/PUBLIC SAFETY COMMUNI CATION TOWERS: Assistant County Manager, Sybil Tate recapped the information shared by the consultant at the last Board meeting as follows: Option Total Cost Timeline 4 towers $4,170,000 28 months 2 towers/year $4,259,000 43 months 1 tower/year $4,432,000 68 months Priority order: • #1 Woodland* • #2 Bushy Fork • #3 Mt Tirzah • #4 Bethel Hill *The State has expressed the most interest in partnering with the county on the Woodland tower location; however, the State cannot commit to moving forward until their funding is secured. The State has indicated that it could be as late as March 2015 before they can make a commitment. 56 May 27, 2014 12 Ms. Tate asked if the Board wished to delay making a decision until the State funding is determined. Vice Chairman Jeffers asked the Finance Director to address the Board about financing the communication towers. Ms. Wehrenberg told the group the best option is to finance all four towers at one time noting the closing for such financing would take place in Fiscal Year 2016 with the first debt payment due in Fiscal Year 2017 noting County will be losing quite a bit of debt at that same time. Ms. Wehrenberg recommended proceeding with the environment studies for all four locations which would take approximately nine months, after which time a Request for Proposal (RFP) will be released for the construction and the financing would follow the award. Ms. Wehrenberg stated a Reimbursement Resolution for this project would come before the Board to adopt so that the County could be reimbursed for any funds spent prior to the financing. Ms. Tate added if the Board would like to proceed with the environmental studies, $100,000 would need to be budgeted in Fiscal Year 2015. It was the consensus of the Board for staff to budget and proceed to have the environmental studies completed on all four locations and the Board did not want to delay the project until the State secures funding to potentially partner for the Woodland site. 57 May 27, 2014 13 RECAP OF ADJUSTMENTS MADE TO RECOMMENDED BUDGET: Finance Director, Amy Wehrenberg noted few adjustments have been made to the Recommended Budget. Ms. York stated the health insurance revision of taking out the vision benefit of the hardware allowance resulted in the only $30,000 impact on the Recommended Budget and not $65,000 as originally presented. Ms. Wehrenberg added there are other minor adjustments, i.e. DSS revenue budget, Kirby capital correction, etc. Commissioner Newell noted two requests not yet discussed: 1) $10,000 request from Judge Galloway for Drug Court and 2) Person County Partnership for Children. Vice Chairman Jeffers added his support to fund the Imagination Library through Partnership for Children at $1 per child served through the program. Ms. York stated she would find out how many children are in the program for the next work session. Ms. York reminded the Board the Budget Public Hearing is scheduled for Monday, June 2, 2014 at 7:00 pm in Auditorium with the next Budget work session scheduled for Tuesday, June 3, 2014 at 2:00 pm in Board Room. Vice Chairman Jeffers stated County Assembly Day is May 28, 2014 noting details from the Senate’s recommended budget will be disclosed and any such impacts for counties. 58 May 27, 2014 14 ADJOURNMENT: A motion was made by Commissioner Puryear, and carried 5-0 to adjourn the meeting at 4:21pm. _____________________________ ______________________________ Brenda B.

for a Moratorium on Coal Ash Waste Transfer to our Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Summary of Information: On May 19, 2014 the coal ash resolution was tabled. I am presenting a new resolution that excludes the Dan River cleanup since it is already in progress and will be nearing completion by the time this is on the board's agenda. This resolution asks that no coal ash from Duke Energy lagoons and ponds be brought to the Person County landfill, thereby, transferring environmental and health problems to the citizens. It is a request for them to retain the ash on their property. A review of Granville County's action on their coal ash and fracking resolutions will also be given. For information, I have included a summary of the four bills that are in the NC Legislature. Recommended Action: Board Approval and a copy sent to Senator Mike Woodard and Representative Winkie Wilkins Submitted By: Commissioner Frances Blalock 70 RESOLUTION FOR A MORATORIUM ON COAL ASH WASTE TRANSFER TO OUR MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE LANDFILL WHEREAS, coal combustion waste contains toxicants such as arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium, chromium, and selenium, and the toxicants in coal combustion waste are linked to cancer and neurological damage in humans, as well as harm to wildlife, especially water-dwelling species; and WHEREAS, on February 2, 2014 thousands of tons of coal combustion waste and millions of gallons of contaminated water spilled into the Dan River and the Dan River Power Station near the City of Eden necessitating cleanup and spurring Duke Energy to contract 2500 plus tons of coals ash material to be brought to a Person County community exposing it to increased danger of air, water and land contamination; and WHEREAS, because the EPA is treating this event as a SUPERFUND and is overseeing the cleanup under its provisions underscores the seriousness of this matter; and WHEREAS, a modern sanitary landfill should not be a dump; but an engineered facility used for disposing of solid wastes on land without creating nuisances or hazards to public health or safety; and WHEREAS, coal ash is a unique waste with many toxicants, it should be labeled as such and put in protected structures or areas on the producer's property, thereby preventing the exacerbation of health concerns that already exist in the community that houses the municipal solid waste landfill; and WHEREAS, on January 29, 2014 the United States Department of Justice lodged a consent decree with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia that requires the US Environmental Protection Agency to publish a final rule addressing the disposal of coal ash by December 19, 2014. NOTWITHSTANDING THAT ACTION IS UNDERWAY AT DAN RIVER, BE IT RESOLVED, that no additional coal combustion waste be placed in the Person County municipal solid landfill following the extant cleanup in the Dan River by Duke Energy and no movement of coal ash from coal ash ponds and lagoons near waterways be brought to the same municipal waste landfill. Regardless of the EPA ruling in December, all future remediation of coal ash waste disposal shall be the responsibility of the producer on their own property. BE IT KNOWN that the members of Person County Board of Commissioners were present on this day, the 16th day of June, and support this resolution. ____________________________________ Jimmy B.

This initiative aims to provide intensive care for rural areas with persistent, concentrated poverty. These areas are selected based on census data identifying the county as having persistent poverty of more than 20%. Person County meets these guidelines and has been selected as a StrikeForce county. Through this initiative, USDA agencies (Farm Service Agency, Natural Resource Conservation Service, Rural Development, & Risk Management) aim to partner with and educate local governments, community organizations, and faith based organizations about using USDA programs to improve their counties economically. Recommended Action: Present information about StrikeForce, ways local government and community organizations can benefit from initiative, and encourage partnership and participation. Promote upcoming StrikeForce meetings.

Submitted By: Maynell Harper, Interim Aging Services Director 84 85 86 87 88 AGENDA ABSTRACT Meeting Date: June 16, 2014 Agenda Title: Kirby Rebirth: Upstairs-Uptown Project Summary of Information: The Kirby Rebirth: Upstairs-Uptown project is moving from the planning phase into the construction phase, however, before construction begins a contract must be signed between Person County and Legacy Builders. The total cost of the contract is $469,119 and includes the complete renovation of the second floor of the Kirby Cultural Arts Complex as illustrated in the attached floor diagram. Piedmont Community College, in partnership with Person County Recreation Arts & Parks and Person County Arts Council, has raised $312,500 through generous community contributions. This amount does not include a $40,000 commitment by Person County that was disbursed for architectural costs. There remains $156,619 that the three partners, PCC, PC Arts & Parks, and PC Arts Council, will need to raise to complete the project. Knowing this, the partners will continue to work diligently to raise these funds. We are confident that the Person County community will continue to invest in this restoration project in an effort to ensure a successful and complete renovation. The contract amounts noted above are current estimates provided by Legacy Builders. In an effort to provide a complete and final contract to Person County Commissioners, a meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, June 11 between various partners, including representatives from: Person County, Legacy Builders, and PCC. Recommended Action: The partners of this project are requesting that the Person County Commissioners: 1. Temporarily use County funds for the remaining $156,619 so that the contract with Legacy Builders can be initiated with the understanding that the partners of this project will work diligently to secure these funds through donations. 2. Allow the partners to develop and implement the process and procedures necessary to establish naming rights for various second floor rooms of the Kirby Cultural Arts Complex to assist in raising the remaining funds for this project.
