AGENDA ABSTRACT
Meeting Date: October 21, 2013
Agenda Title: Excellence in Innovation Award for Person County’s Revaluation
Communication and Education Efforts
Summary of Information:
Person County has been recognized for educating its citizens about the revaluation process with a
Local Government Federal Credit Union Excellence in Innovation Award for 2013. The awards
program is sponsored by the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners.
In an effort to educate citizens about the revaluation process, Person County made a concerted effort
to improve its communication with citizens. Staff re-designed forms to be clearer about the process
and more user-friendly. The Tax Office hosted two public meetings, both before and after the tax
bills were mailed, specifically designed to allow for discussion about the revaluation process. Staff
designed a “frequently asked questions” page for the county website, as well as created informational
fliers. Additionally, the Board of Commissioners invited a representative from the N.C. Department
of Revenue to their annual budget retreat to discuss the property revaluation process.
The Excellence in Innovation Awards program provides a total of $8,000 in rewards to county
employees who develop successful programs that help counties improve services to citizens. Cash
awards of $1,000 each are given to two programs in each of four categories - general government,
health and human services, public information/participation and intergovernmental collaboration.
Person County’s Revaluation Communication Efforts won for the category of public
information/participation.
Mr. Neil Emory, Outreach Associate from the NCACC will be presenting the Award to the
employees of the Tax Office.
Recommended Action: Allow Mr. Neil Emory to present the 2013 Excellence in Innovation Award
to the Employees of the Person County Tax Office

October 7, 2013

Mr. Vining stated the Person Veterans Council was formed on August 21, 2013,
at which time, by-laws were approved and officers were elected. The stated purpose of
the organization is to gather, consolidate, and promote the aims, interests, and efforts of
the veterans of Person County.
Mr. Vining stated one of the Council’s goals is to establish a veteran’s memorial
park noting a location and a concept design is yet to be determined.
The following veterans, present in the audience, represented the Person Veterans
Council along with other AMVETS organizations:
Mr. Johnny Langford, Mr. Ronald Epps, Mr. Timothy Carter, Mr. Doug Robinson
and Mr. Reggie Horton.
Mr. Vining requested the Board to officially recognize the Person Veterans
Council as a representative voice of veterans across Person County. Mr. Vining clarified
his role as the County’s Veterans Officer is separate and unconnected to his service on
the Council.
Mr. Vining is currently serving as the President of the Veterans Council. Mr.
Ronald Epps is the Vice President and William Jurkiewicz is the Secretary-Treasurer.
Board members commended the veterans for efforts to structure an organization
to service our community veterans as well as extended appreciation for their service to
the armed forces. Commissioner Blalock stated the Bushy Fork Grange has an annual
dinner in May to honor veterans.
A motion was made by Commissioner Puryear, and carried 5-0 to recognize the
Person Veterans Council as a representative voice of Person County veterans.
PERSON COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY STRATEGIC PLAN:
Library Director, Christy Bondy told the Board that the Person County Public
Library was chosen to be included in a pilot program as well as invited to participate in a
planning grant from the State Library to craft a three-year Strategic Plan. A steering
committee was developed and over a ten-month period with the assistance of consultant,
Bill Millett produced a plan that aligns with the County’s Futures Plan.
The Person County Library Futures Initiative for strategic implementation 2013-
2016 highlights the “go to” place for excitement and enlightenment to which Ms. Bondy
noted staff has been tasked with responsibility to implement goals to which will be
reviewed in their annual performance evaluation.

PERSON COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT FEE REQUESTS:
Health Director, Janet Clayton noted in accordance with the North Carolina
General Statute 130A-39(g), the Board of Health requests the approval of the Board of
Commissioners to implement the proposed new fees.
Ms. Clayton stated on September 23, 2013 the Person County Board of Health
approved the increase in the Rabies Titer (CPT code 86382) from $45.00 to $60.00 and
the implementation of the Postpartum Care Only (CPT code 59430) fee of $125.00.
Ms. Clayton told the group the Health Department has elected to utilize a different
vendor to process rabies titers. By using a different vendor, the Health Department will
save on shipping costs, and the specimens will only be handled by one staff member
instead of three. The test cost increased $15.00; however, due to the change in shipping
methods, the overall cost to the patient will be reduced, and efficiencies will be realized
within the department. The chart below illustrates the proposed savings:
CPT Description Current Price/Process Proposed Change
36415 Collection by Venipuncture $ 16.00 $ 16.00
86382 Rabies Titer $ 45.00 $ 60.00
LU K State Overnight Fee (1 specimen) $ 70.00
LU K State Overnight Fee (1+ specimen) $ 35.00
99001 Handling Fee $ 25.00
Total Charge $ 131.00 $ 101.00
Ms. Clayton stated the health department requests the implementation of the
Postpartum Care Only fee of $125.00. A clinic procedural change will require the
department to provide an existing service in a different program. This change will allow
the department as a Pregnancy Medical Home provider to bill for and receive an
incentive for postpartum visits.
A motion was made by Vice Chairman Jeffers and carried 5-0 to approve
the increase in the Rabies Titer (CPT code 86382) from $45.00 to $60.00 and the
implementation of the Postpartum Care Only (CPT code 59430) fee of $125.00.
TAX ADJUSTMENTS FOR SEPTEMBER 2013:
Tax Administrator, Russell Jones presented to the Board the following three tax
adjustments for September 2013:
1. September 2013 tax releases.
2. The motor vehicle pending refund report shows the releases for motor vehicle
taxes from the new North Carolina Vehicle Tax System (NCVTS) for September
2013. Mr. Jones stated that in the next few months, this report will contain more
releases and the tax releases from the Tax Office system should go down.
6
October 7, 2013

3. A request for refund under General Statute 105-381 was made by Ms. Margaret
LaRoe and has been reviewed by the County Attorney, Ron Aycock. Mr. Jones
noted the statute for allowing a refund is very restrictive (limited to a staff clerical
error or illegal tax), and staff agreed that the request for refund qualifies for a
refund. Mr. Jones stated the taxpayer was overcharged for a full-finished
basement, when in fact; only 12% of the basement was finished. This resulted in
an over-assessment of $42,864 ($300.05 in county property taxes) per year for
four years. Mr. Jones recommended the Board to approve a refund in the amount
of $1,200.20 ($300.05 x 4 years of an overcharge).
Mr. Jones requested a Board motion to accept the reports presented as well as to
authorize the requested refund.
A motion was made by Commissioner Puryear, and carried 5-0 to approve the
Tax Administrative Report noting the Releases for the month of September 2013, the NC
Vehicle Tax System Refund Report for September 2013 and a request by Margaret
LaRoe for a tax refund in the amount of $1,200.20 for an over-assessment in county
property taxes for the last four years.
Commissioner Newell asked Mr. Jones how many property tax appeals have been
taken to the NC Property Tax Commission. Mr. Jones noted 44 parcels have been
confirmed with 4 pending a decision to be heard by the NC Property Tax Commission
representing 24 tax payers. Mr. Jones further noted only two of the parcels are
commercial (Wal-Mart and the hospital) with the majority being lake properties.
Mr. Jones confirmed for Commissioner Newell the Board of Equalization and
Review would reconvene in early April 2014.
BRANDING/MARKETING RFP:
Assistant County Manager, Sybil Tate stated during the economic development
summit meetings and strategic plan meetings, the idea of having a community branding
and marketing campaign has been discussed often. Ms. Tate noted as part of the recent
summer internship program, Brittany Bennett conducted research about community
branding campaigns and presented a branding presentation to individuals from Piedmont
Community College, Roxboro Development Group, charter schools, Person County
Schools, tourism, the hospital, Ag extension and the Chamber with the feedback being
positive.
Ms. Tate told the group a community branding process would entail gathering
public input on what residents think about Person County. The result would be a
consistent identity and message that various organizations can use to attract clientele. In
general, the process for gathering community input requires focus group meetings and a
comment period. Ms. Tate stated the process takes approximately ten weeks and
estimated the cost ranging from $20,000 to $100,000.

October 7, 2013

Ms. Tate highlighted a few of the slides of the branding presentation titled “A
Look at Community Branding and Marketing Strategies” by Brittany Bennett which
included examples of branding campaign images from Chatham County, Cleveland
County, Durham County and the City of Hickory noting many other local governments in
NC and across the country have engaged in branding campaigns.
In order to move forward with a community branding campaign, Ms. Tate stated
Person County would release a Request for Proposals requiring an outline of process,
cost, deliverables, etc. Ms. Tate requested the Board to review the Request for Proposal
for Community Branding Initiative and direct staff whether or not to release the Request
for Proposals.
Commissioner Blalock suggested obtaining buy-in and input from the Person
Future’s committee members.
Commissioner Puryear stated his preference for the County to partner with
community organizations, citizens as well as the local college to develop any such
branding.
Vice Chairman Jeffers asked to also open up the opportunity to brand Person
County to the high schools and suggested to make it like a contest with a potential prize
for the end result.
STORM WATER UPDATE:
Assistant County Manager, Sybil Tate stated in an effort to keep the Board of
Commissioners informed about the implementation of stormwater fees and other
stormwater related items, an update was provided on the condition of the stormwater
enterprise fund and a recent request from the Upper Neuse River Basin Association
(UNRBA) to provide $7,500 to fund the credits toolbox.
Stormwater fees
Ms. Tate anticipated approximately $259,000 in stormwater revenues to be
collected which is approximately $20,000 more than what was budgeted. Ms. Tate noted
twelve appeals have been filed with eleven records received a full or partial fee release
totaling $204. In addition, Ms. Tate estimated approximately $5,275 in fund balance from
the previous year.
Ms. Tate noted the stormwater hotline received approximately 165 calls during
August and September. Most callers did not understand why the fee was being charged
and what stormwater services they are receiving; Ms. Tate agreed no one is happy to pay
a fee, however staff did an excellent job responding to inquiries and explaining the
stormwater fee.

Other Stormwater news
• Stormwater application: Ms. Tate noted the stormwater utility has created a new
stormwater application that will be used by all jurisdictions participating in the
utility. The application is for residential and commercial properties that go over
the stormwater thresholds. The application is based on the steps required to
comply with stormwater regulations and includes a checklist for property owners
to use.
• Built Upon Area definition change: The General Assembly has changed the
definition of Built Upon Area to exclude gravel. Previously, gravel was
considered an impervious surface. This change is a benefit for new development
as it allows developers to have a gravel parking area and exclude it from the Built
Upon Area calculation. However, existing developments will suffer. Existing
developments previously included gravel as built upon area; therefore, any
building on a gravel area did not count as additional Built Upon Area.
• Toolbox Request: The UNRBA is requesting money from each member
government to fund the creation of a credits toolbox. Person County’s requested
allocation is $7,500 for Fiscal Year 2014 and $7,500 for Fiscal Year 2015. The
toolbox will be complete in September 2015.
Ms. Tate stated funds are available for this appropriation from the Wastewater
Remediation Assistance line, reducing it from $26,010 to $18,510. Ms. Tate requested
input from the Board whether or not to provide funds for the credits toolbox.
Ms. Tate asked Ms. Henrietta Locklear from Raftelis Consulting to further
describe the purpose of the tool box. Ms. Locklear stated the purpose of the toolbox is to
quantify the means for achieving the jurisdictional loading reductions as required by the
Falls Lake rules. Ms. Locklear stated that only a limited number of practices are credited
practices recognized by the state. Ms. Locklear noted the credits tool box will expand the
list of practices and include more inexpensive practices. In addition, Ms. Locklear noted
the state has not differentiated the credit amounts or the areas within the watershed with
implemented practices and the credits tool box would help quantify the differences in the
portions of the watershed. Ms. Locklear informed the group the state has requested EMC
to delay implementation of the existing development rules while the model program is
being developed during the next two years.
Vice Chairman Jeffers asked Ms. Locklear to explain the difference in the
General Assembly mandating watershed rules for the Falls Lakes and the reprieve that
delayed the rules for Jordan Lake. Ms. Locklear noted the same rules for existing
development for Jordan Lake is what is being delayed by legislative action.
Commissioner Puryear asked Ms. Locklear what is being done to eliminate
restrictions from Person County. Ms. Locklear stated the UNRBA is funding the
monitoring studies to demonstrate how the lake responds when pollutants are reduced.
Ms. Locklear stated the monitoring project for collection of data is scheduled to begin in
January 2014 lasting approximately two years. Currently, there is not adequate data to

illustrate to the state the impacts of the loading on the Falls Lake. Chairman Clayton
added that legislation was passed for the Division of Water Quality to determine which
labs would accept samplings as well as set the procedures noting the City of Raleigh
gathered data to illustrate to the state however it was not accepted due to the labs used.
Commissioner Puryear asked what is stopping Person County from going against
the state with legal action to have an injunction to stop imposing fees until such data is
available. Chairman Clayton stated the Clean Water Act is federal law. County
Attorney, Ron Aycock stated federal water laws drives the rules imposed for the Falls
Lake. Mr. Aycock stated if a lawsuit were to be filed, it would be problematic due to the
ability to have legislation introduced and passed is unknown.
A motion was made by Commissioner Blalock to appropriate $7,500 from the
Wastewater Remediation Assistance budget line for the credits toolbox.
Commissioner Puryear asked if the appropriation was funded through fees
collected or from the General Fund. Chairman Clayton confirmed the budget for the
appropriation is funded by the fees collected for the purpose of the Environmental Health
wastewater remediation for repairs to septic systems.
A substitute motion was made by Commissioner Puryear to appropriate $7,500
for the credits toolbox from the General Fund Balance. The substitute motion failed 1/4
with Commissioner Puryear casting the only vote of support.
The original motion made by Commissioner Blalock prevailed 4/1 with
Commissioner Puryear casting the lone dissenting vote.
CDBG MONTHLY REPORTING:
County Manager, Heidi York presented to the Board the CDBG monthly activities
report and a Monthly Performance Status Report for September 2013 that is due to be
submitted to the Division of Community Assistance.
A motion was made by Vice Chairman Jeffers and carried 5-0 to accept the
monthly report as presented.
NC ASSOCIATION OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS VIDEO UPDATE:
County Manager, Heidi York told the Board a video has been provided by the NC
Association of County Commissioners (NCACC) noting the video includes an
introduction from NCACC President Ray Jeffers and features NCACC staff updating
commissioners on Steering Committees and how commissioners can participate. It also
gives an overview of an upcoming seminar on the Affordable Care Act and how it affects
counties as well as the Association’s Risk Management Services.

DAN RIVER UPDATE:
County Attorney, Ron Aycock gave the Board the following summary of events
related to the Dan River and Caswell County’s attempt to overturn the Environmental
Management Commission (EMC) rules with a petition to change a portion of the Dan
River WS-IV reclassification back to a Class C classification.
(1) On March 1, 2002, Roxboro submitted an application to the State to
request reclassification of the Dan River to allow it to be used as a water supply source.
(2) On March 25, 2003, Roxboro, Person County, and Yanceyville (not then
including Caswell County) entered into an Interlocal Agreement regarding the use of the
Dan River water source. (The main features of this Agreement are identical to those
contained in the current 2008 Interlocal Agreement to which Caswell County is also a
party, see paragraphs (6) and (7) below).
(3) Pursuant to the 2003 Agreement, Yanceyville acquired the land in Caswell
County necessary for the in-take site on the Dan River; and Caswell County filed a
declaratory judgment action, contending that this property acquisition was unlawful.
(4) The trial court granted summary judgment against Caswell County, and
the Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court’s ruling in a decision filed on May 3, 2005.
(5) The Court of Appeals’ decision expressly rejected Caswell County’s
contention that the acquisition of the in-take site was unjustified by any water-supply
need.
(6) In July 2008, a new Interlocal Agreement was entered into that was
essentially identical to the 2003 Agreement, except that Caswell County joined the new
Agreement. It obligated Caswell County to (a) cooperate with and support all other
parties in the acquisition of all permits for the project, (b) enact a water supply watershed
management protection ordinance as required by the EMC and N.C. Gen. Stat. 143-
214.5, and (c) cooperate and supply to the State such documents requested or needed to
show support for the project. This new Agreement provided that, if Caswell County
breached the Agreement, Caswell County would pay to Roxboro and Person County
essentially all costs and other expenses or damages associated with obtaining regulatory
approval for the project.
(7) The 2008 Interlocal Agreement, which is a 40-year Agreement, recited as
its purpose the establishment of a public enterprise for an interconnected and regional
water supply and distribution system that will (1) serve the current and long-term water
supply needs of Yanceyville, Caswell County, Roxboro and Person County; (2)
accommodate industrial, commercial, and residential development within the jurisdiction
of those units of local government; and (3) provide Yanceyville with the revenue to
operate, maintain, and repair a water supply system and for the benefit of uses in Caswell
County.
11
October 7, 2013

(8) The Interlocal Agreement calls for Roxboro to construct a raw water
intake, pump station, pretreatment facility, and meter vault at the Dan River (the “Point
of Connection”), along with a raw water line across Caswell County and through Person
County to Roxboro’s Water Treatment Plant at Lake Isaac Walton in Person County.
The Agreement calls for Yanceyville to construct a raw water line in Caswell County
from the Point of Connection to Yanceyville’s existing Water Treatment Plant in
Yanceyville, along with a water treatment unit and high service pump station at the raw
water intake site with a finish water line from the water treatment unit to the water
distribution system of the Town of Milton in Caswell County. These water lines are
specifically designed to be interconnected to serve Caswell County and Person County,
and no party to the Agreement envisions selling any water to any unit of local
government or other entity or person outside of Person and/or Caswell County. Under
the Agreement, all financial responsibility for the construction of this water system will
be borne by Roxboro, Person County, and Yanceyville; and the Agreement places no
financial responsibility upon Caswell County in connection with any of these water-
system facilities.
(9) At the time of the Court of Appeals’ decision referred to in paragraph (5)
above, the costs to Roxboro and Person County for the Project under the Interlocal
Agreement were approximately $500,000. Today, those costs exceed $895,000,
including Fiscal Year 2013-14.
(10) On May 10, 2012, the Caswell County Commissioners passed a
Resolution to “oppose The Reclassification of the Dan River and also oppose any local
bill or Administrative Rule supporting the Reclassification.”
(11) On May 15, 2012, the Caswell County Commissioners passed a
Resolution to petition the State to get the Dan River Reclassification delayed,
notwithstanding Sections 7.3 and 7.5 of the Interlocal Agreement that mandated Caswell
County’s cooperation and support for all permits necessary for using the Dan River as a
future water source for the benefit of the parties. On May 18, 2012 (pursuant to the May
15, 2012 Resolution), the Chairman of the Caswell County Board of Commissioners sent
a letter to Representative Bill Faison, Senator Rick Gunn, the North Carolina House of
Representatives and North Carolina Senate requesting legislation to oppose the
reclassification.
(12) The North Carolina Legislature took no action on the request to delay or
oppose the reclassification.
(13) On July 3, 2012, the EMC reclassified the Dan River in Caswell County
from Class C to Class WS-IV; and the County was ordered by DENR to enact an
appropriate ordinance to protect this water supply under the water Supply Watershed
Protection Act (G.S. 143-214.5) by March 30, 2013.
12
October 7, 2013
10
(14) On April 15, 2013, Caswell County held a public hearing about the need
to amend the County’s Water Supply Watershed Protection ordinance as required by
DENR. Comments by citizens at the public hearing reflected the following: (a) Roxboro
was taking land away from the County; (b) there is no immediate need for a new water
supply; (c) Roxboro intends to sell Dan River water to Durham and Wake County; (d)
Caswell County’s water and future industry are being stolen; and (e) future State
regulations may restrict even further land uses along the Dan River.
(15) On June 3, 2013, the Caswell County Commissioners (by a 4-3 vote)
approved a resolution to petition the EMC to change the WS-IV reclassification back to a
Class C classification.
(16) NCDENR gave Caswell County an extension of time to enact a Water
Supply Watershed Protection ordinance by June 17, 2013. No ordinance has been
enacted to date, pending consideration of the County’s instant petition.
(17) On July 9, 2013 the City of Roxboro, pursuant to its commitments under
the Interlocal Agreement, passed a Resolution to Authorize the Design of the Intake at
the Dan River at a cost of $110,000, and that design work is currently underway.
(18) On August 19, 2013, Caswell County filed its instant Petition for
Reclassification of a Portion of the Dan River.
(19) From 2002 to date, Caswell County has consistently adhered to two
propositions: (a) the Dan River water source is essentially owned by or is exclusively
reserved to Caswell County use, and (b) the enactment of a Water Supply Watershed
Protection Ordinance would unduly disrupt (now or in the future) private land activity in
the County along the Dan River.
Mr. Aycock requested Board approval for him as the County Attorney to join with
attorneys representing Roxboro and Yanceyville to object to the action of Caswell
County and authorize the filing of the actions against the process. Mr. Aycock noted the
expectation of EMC to take up this matter during the month of November. Mr. Aycock
told the group as Roxboro has the primary interest and operates the water system;
therefore the lead attorney in the process is the Roxboro attorney.
A motion was made by Commissioner Newell, and carried 5-0 for Person
County to join the City of Roxboro and the Town of Yanceyville to oppose Caswell’s
County’s petition for reclassification of a portion of the Dan River from WS-IV back to a
Class C classification

AGENDA ABSTRACT
Meeting Date: October 21, 2013
Agenda Title: Consideration of Approval of Late Exemption Applications
Summary of Information:
Every year, the tax office receives applications for the Senior, Disabled, Veteran, and Circuit
Breaker exemptions that fail to meet the June 1st deadline.
In an effort to help inform the public of these exemptions, the tax office mailed information
along with our listing forms to 6,000 citizens. We also developed brochures for all three
exemption programs which made these programs easier to understand, and passed out over 500
copies. We also included information about these exemptions on the revaluation notice of value
forms.
These efforts resulted in 86 new applications, with 76 approved applications, 10 denied
applications (over the income limit) and 7 late applications.
The 7 late applications would have been approved if they had been received by the tax office by
June 1st. These applications met all requirements, however since these were late, they could not
be approved by the tax office.
The Board of Commissioners may approve late applications if they are received by December
31st. Since these applications met all guidelines (other than the application deadline) I would
recommend approval.
I have included a spreadsheet that outlines the tax impact and the reasons for the late
applications. I have not included the applications since they include social security numbers and
income information.
Currently, we have 702 properties that are receiving benefit from these exemptions, which does
not include the 7 applications that are submitted for approval today.
Recommended Action: Approve applications if appropriate

AGENDA ABSTRACT
Meeting Date: October 21, 2013
Agenda Title: Public Safety Communication/Broadband update
Summary of Information: Staff provided an update about the broadband project at the Sept. 19th
meeting. At that meeting, the BOC directed staff to move forward with both the broadband project
and the public safety communications project.
The report from the public safety communication analysis is attached. It provides three options for
improving Person County’s public safety communication system.
OPTION #1: Fix existing listening towers - $12,000
OPTION #2: Build a Simulcast Repeater System (include building 5 tower sites) - $3M
OPTION #3: Utilize State Viper System - $1-2M
The results of the public safety communication study are under review by a public safety focus
group, which includes representatives from the Fire Chief’s Association, Roxboro Fire, Roxboro
Police, Sheriff, EMS, Emergency Management and 911. A final recommendation has not been made;
however, it was noted that OPTION#1 is a short term solution and that OPTION#2 was the preferred
long-term solution. The focus group expressed concern about joining the State Viper System since it
does not perform well inside of buildings.
OPTION#2 can be combined with the broadband project, but the State’s Viper System does not
allow commercial applications, such as broadband.
Staff is meeting with the public safety focus group again on Thursday, Oct. 17th at 4:30pm.
It may be necessary to implement OPTION#1 immediately and include a long-term solution in the
FY15 CIP.
Recommended Action: Provide staff with feedback about how to move forward with this project.

This report is designed to provide recommendations for the repair and/or enhancements to
our public safety radio system. In 2004, a Radio Assessment Report was provided to the
County by Kimball and Associates which provided detailed information on the public
safety radio system infrastructure and provided recommendations for enhancements.
Many of the recommendations were addressed and enhancements were made to the radio
system over the next several years.
Over the last couple of years we have begun to experience many issues that have resulted
in an unreliable radio system. After many reoccurring issues emerged it was decided that
we would have our radio vendor begin a preliminary study to evaluate the issues and
make recommendations to upgrade the system. The preliminary work has been completed
and the results are included in this report. The report will list three (3) options that have
been identified with supporting information such as cost, equipment needs, etc.
As part of the preliminary study, the following assessments were made:
• The current condition of the radio and network infrastructure
• Surveys with major stakeholders to determine system issues
• Interoperability issues within the county and adjoining counties and jurisdictions
The current radio infrastructure consists of:
• Piedmont Communications Tower Site (Located at 301 Hill Street / 911 Center)
• Barden Street Tower Site (Located at 216 Barden Street / Person County ES)
• Commonwealth Tower (Located on Hill Street / City of Roxboro Property)
• Moriah Fire Station Tower (1879 Mt Harmony Church Road)
• Ceffo Fire Station Tower (1291 Concord Ceffo Road)
• Bethel Hill Charter School Water Tank (401 Bethel Hill School Road)
The Barden Street Tower Site is the only site owned by the county. The Piedmont
Communications Tower Site, located at the 911 Center, is part of a lease agreement with
the City of Roxboro and PC911 pays a monthly rental fee to have equipment located on
the tower. The Commonwealth Tower is owned by Commonwealth Radio Services
located in Blairs, VA and it is located on City of Roxboro Property. The Moriah, Ceffo,

and Bethel Hill sites are solely owned by the fire departments and charter school
respectfully.
The following three (3) options have been provided by our radio vendor as to possible
solutions to enhance our radio system and network infrastructure to ensure a more reliable
system-wide communications network.
OPTION # 1
The county currently has three (3) Voting Receiver Sites (aka: listening towers) located at:
Moriah Fire Sub-Station (located at 1879 Mt. Harmony Church Road)
Ceffo Fire Station (located at 1291 Concord Ceffo Road)
Bethel Hill Charter School (located at 401 Bethel Hill School Road)
The voting receiver interprets signal from outlying receivers that is routed to the main site
via microwave link. This link gives us a tremendous amount of problems during routine
weather events and is considered unreliable.
In the 2004 report, there were issues identified that continue to be issues today. Some of the
issues included the use of non-public safety grade equipment which is not licensed and
DOES NOT prevent other commercial microwave paths from penetrating ours causing
interference. It also identified that the remote sites are using a three-way splitter in the
antenna line which decreases the signal received by 1/3 percent.
Pros:
Existing System already in place
Cons:
Moriah Site – Tower is not in good condition and needs to be replaced
Bethel Hill Site – Antennas are located on a water tank which does not allow for
360 coverage
Ceffo Site – Antenna is located on a wooden pole between the 70’ and 90’ mark.
The report in 2004 indicated that the line of site at this height was a potential issue
… that was 9 years ago
Equipment is housed in cabinets subject to fluctuating temperatures
Unreliable
Does not address the issues with poor reception and transmitting problems in
outlying areas around the county lines.

Cost: $12,000
Price includes aligning dishes, tighten tension lines and cutting trees at Moriah site,
repair all issues with coax and equipment boxes at all locations, and installing meter
base at Bethel Hill site.
If line of sight is an issue at Ceffo this location may need to be moved to another
location or a tower built to move the site higher in elevation. Neither option is included
in this cost for Option # 1.
OPTION # 2
Building a Simulcast Repeater System throughout the county using our existing VHF
Frequencies.
The primary reason for implementing a simulcast system is for wide area coverage with
minimum frequencies. This is also an advantage for the user since all radio traffic is on
a single frequency. Preliminary coverage maps indicate that a five (5) site simulcast
repeater system would provide coverage throughout Person County and would reach
beyond the county boundaries to assist local resources responding into adjoining
counties providing mutual aid assistance.
Pros:
County-wide coverage
Enhanced transmitting and receiving capabilities for portable radios and pagers
Radio traffic is heard by all responding units preventing the need for
telecommunicators to repeat information
Infrastructure for additional county services (i.e. Broadband)
Partnership with County Fire Departments for tower locations
Partnership with State Highway Patrol for microwave links
Cons:
Land purchase for tower locations if fire station locations are not adequate
Expensive equipment
Cost: $3,000,000

OPTION # 3
Utilizing the State VIPER 800 MHz Radio System
The VIPER radio system was established because of the interoperability issues in
communications across the state of NC. The NC State Highway Patrol serves as the
management agency for VIPER. When completed there will be 241 sites across North
Carolina including the current tower under construction in Person County on Critcher
Wilkerson Road in Roxboro.
Pros:
State owns and maintains the system
Increased channel capacity
Emergency notification options on radios
Interoperability with State and Federal Agencies
Redundant loop

Cons:
Need for a site in northern Person County (Bethel Hill Area)
State owns and maintains the system
Potential for future user fees
New radios would have to be purchased
Designed for in-street use
No guarantee of in-building coverage
Cost: $1,000,000 – $2,000,000
Price is based on:
$3,000 per radio times number of radios system wide
• Public safety radio estimates = 1.2 million
Tower site for northern Person County = $420,000
• County funds - $250,000 / NCSHP funds - $170,000
Conclusion:
It is the goal of the Person County 911 Communications Division to provide the best
options available to be evaluated by our stakeholders. We recognize that our current
system lacks reliability and survivability in today’s environment. The safety of our
responders is the # 1 priority for our department.
The funding amounts in this report are only estimates based on information provided
from our radio vendor. Amounts are based on similar projects that have been
implemented within the last 5 years.
