AGENDA ABSTRACT
Meeting Date:
July 21, 2025
Agenda Title:
Rezoning/Map Amendment Application RZ-01-25 for Eliud Munoz to rezone 0.8-acre Subject
Property from a Residential (R) to B-1 (Highway Commercial) zoning designation
Summary of Information:
Rezoning/Map Amendment Application RZ-01-25 is a request by the Applicant, to rezone a
0.8-acre parcel, from a Residential (R) to B-1 (Highway Commercial) zoning designation. The
property is located at the southwest corner of the Leasburg Road & Dee Long Road
intersection.
Financial Impact:
None.
Recommended Action:
The Planning Board held a public hearing on this application at the June 12 meeting. The owner
and applicant were both present and spoke in favor of the request. Four neighboring property
owners also spoke to share concerns. With a unanimous (6-0) vote, the board recommended
denial of the rezoning and found it inconsistent with the adopted Person County & City of
Roxboro Joint Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
The application, exhibits, site drawing, and draft ordinance amending the Zoning Map are all
attachments for this item.

PERSON COUNTY PLANNING & ZONING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT
Rezoning/Map Amendment RZ-01-25 – A request by the Applicant, Eliud Munoz for Rezoning approval
on .8 acres located at 2477 Leasburg Rd., Tax Map 116 28 from R (Residential) to B1 (Highway
Commercial Business).
Request
Rezoning/Map Amendment RZ-01-25 – A request by the Applicant, Eliud Munoz for Rezoning approval
on .8 acres located at 2477 Leasburg Rd., Tax Map 116 28 from R (Residential) to B1 (Highway
Commercial Business). The property is located at the southwest corner of the intersection of Leasburg
Road with Dee Long Road and contains a building that has previously been occupied by businesses.
(Exhibit A: Aerial Photo).
Existing Land Use & Land Use Compatibility
The site contains a small-scale commercial structure that has previously been occupied by a number of
businesses. The current owner acquired the property in 2022. Google Maps still lists B&M Grocery as
being located here.
The adjacent uses are as follows:
• North: Residential
• South: Residential
• East: Residential
• West: Residential
Surrounding zoning:
North: Residential
South: Residential
East: B-1 (Highway Commercial)
West: Residential
Residential District: The purpose of this district is to provide for single family residential uses and
compatible development.
B-1 Highway Commercial Business District: The purpose of this district shall be to provide for commercial
and light industrial development which operate in a relative quiet, clean and non-noxious manner.
(Exhibit B: Zoning Map)
Comprehensive Plan & Zoning Consistency
Person County Planning Ordinance and North Carolina General Statues require plan consistency and a
recommendation from the Planning Board as the Board of Commissioners reviews any map amendment.
The Commissioners must also document plan consistency if they act to amend the map or ordinance.
North Carolina General Statues provide the following criteria to guide amendment discussions:
Zoning regulations shall be made in accordance with a comprehensive plan and shall be designed to
promote the public health, safety, and general welfare. The regulations may address the following
public purposes:
• to provide adequate light and air;
• to prevent the overcrowding of land;
• to avoid undue concentration of population;
• to lessen congestion in the streets;
• to secure safety from fire, panic, and dangers;
4
RZ-01-25 - Staff Report
7/11/2025
Page 2 of 3
• to facilitate the efficient and adequate provision of transportation, water, sewerage, schools,
parks, and other public requirements; and
• to promote the health, safety, morals, or general welfare of the community.
The regulations shall be made with reasonable consideration to:
• the character of the district
• its peculiar suitability for particular uses
• with a view to conserving the value of buildings and
• encouraging the most appropriate use of land throughout the jurisdiction.
This site is designated Rural in the Future Land Use Plan, as are the surrounding properties (Exhibit C:
Future Land Use Map):
The Rural future land use category is intended to promote the protection of agricultural lands
and natural resources while allowing low density residential development (minimum lot size of
one acre). Cluster or conservation subdivisions, which permit higher density residential
development while setting aside land for preservation should also be permitted in Rural areas.
The Rural future land use category should permit neighborhood-scale commercial development
at, and within 1,000 feet of, major intersections (examples include Timberlake, Olive Hill, Hurdle
Mills, etc.). Development regulations should limit floor area of retail and similar uses in these
rural commercial nodes. Agricultural and agricultural-support uses, along with other typical rural
commercial enterprises should be permitted throughout these areas, without limitation.
Primary Uses: Single Family and Agricultural
Secondary Uses: Silos, Convenience Stores, Agricultural Business, Supporting Services
Exhibit D contains the Permitted Use Table from the Planning Ordinance to help compare the uses
currently allowed on site with those that would be allowed if the rezoning is approved. This is a
legislative decision, so all the uses listed in the Permitted Use Table must be considered as potential
uses for the site. No conditions or limitations for particular uses or categories of use can be added with a
legislative rezoning application. The Board may want consider the following items:
a) The building has been used as a business for years.
b) The site is considered non-conforming if it remains in the Residential district and would need a
special use permit to convert to a commercial use.
c) The lot size naturally limits the uses suited to the site.
d) The lack of water and sewer service naturally limit the uses suited to the site.
The Person County & City of Roxboro Joint Comprehensive Land Use Plan (Comp Plan) includes the
following Guiding Principles, with relation to this rezoning request (listed in italics):
Guiding Principle 3: Building A Strong & Vibrant Community
• Guiding Principle No. 3.2. Encourage the reuse and revitalization of legacy commercial areas to
reduce urban sprawl.
o While this principle refers to reuse in the 15-501 corridor, this building represents a much
smaller scale example. Allowing reasonable economic use of a commercial building that
already exists along a well-traveled corridor seems more consistent than forcing the
reconstruction of the site consistent with the current residential zoning. Additionally,
approving this rezoning request brings a non-conforming site into compliance.
Any statement of inconsistency from the Planning Board shall not preclude consideration or approval of
the proposed amendment application by the Board of Commissioners. The Board of Commissioners shall
5
RZ-01-25 - Staff Report
7/11/2025
Page 3 of 3
also adopt a statement describing whether their action is consistent or inconsistent with the Comp Plan
and why that action is reasonable and in the public’s interest.
State law allows for the possibility that a rezoning request may meet the intent of a community’s
comprehensive plan while not necessarily meeting the adopted text or map. This is part of the purpose
behind the consistency statement. It gives the advisory and elected boards the opportunity to document
the consistency with the intent and legally approve a request. It is often advisable to follow-up such an
action with a plan amendment.
Planning Staff Analysis & Recommendation
The building appears to have been constructed as a business or converted to a business in the distant
past. The lot across Dee Long Road is also zoned B1, though it appears more residential in nature. The
presence of this adjoining lot also being zoned B1 limits any concerns about spot zoning in staff’s mind.
Leasburg is one of three primary approaches to Roxboro from the west. The parcel is about 1 mile west
of the nearest Roxboro city limits.
Planning Board Recommendation
Member Lynch made a motion to deny Rezoning/Map Amendment Application RZ-01-25, for the Munoz
rezoning request on Leasburg Road to rezone the 0.8 acre Subject Property from the R (Residential) to
B1 (Highway Commercial) district, and find it is not consistent with the adopted Person County & City of
Roxboro Joint Comprehensive Land Use Plan” because we cannot find a guiding principle that applies to
this application. Member James seconded. The vote was unanimous 6-0.
The members discussed their concern about the wide variety of uses that would be allowed in the B1
category and expressed support for a conditional zoning request for the uses the applicant described.
They clearly stated their belief that applicant intended to operate a reasonable operation, but it was the
long list of uses and lack of clear support in the Comprehensive Plan that led to their motion for denial.
If the Board of Commissioner finds they want to recommend approval of the Rezoning/Map Amendment
Application RZ-01-25, the written Statement of Reasonableness and Plan Consistency can be combined in
the approval motion, as follows:
“I hereby move to approve Rezoning/Map Amendment Application RZ-01-25, for the Munoz rezoning
request on Leasburg Road to rezone the 0.8 acre Subject Property from the R (Residential) to B1
(Highway Commercial) district, and find it is consistent with the adopted Person County & City of
Roxboro Joint Comprehensive Land Use Plan” through Guiding Principle No. 3.2. Encourage the reuse
and revitalization of legacy commercial areas to reduce urban sprawl.

Letter of Intent
Greetings,
I hope this letter finds you well.
I am writing today to express my interest in re-zoning the current residential property at
2477 Leasburg Road, Roxboro, to a commercial property where my intention is to
purchase used cars and repair them for resale.
I believe this location is an ideal space for meeting the needs of the local community.
And I am committed to contributing to the prosperity and vibrancy of Roxboro's
economy.
With other repair shops in the area, this location is perfect for contributing to the
community.
It will also help marketing dynamics in the area.
This space will accommodate my small team, and provide for a productive work
environment.
I look forward to the possibility of working together.
I would be grateful to have an opportunity to discuss details or any questions you may
have.
Please feel free to call me or email me. (I am listing my phone number and email
address at the bottom of this letter.)
Thank you for considering my application.
Yours sincerely,
Alex (Munoz)

what any other property in the County is. He stated that the state is appraising those annually
and not at the local level. He stated that the state appraises your state utilities, and that they
use the income approach. He stated that the catch is, if a company, like Duke Energy or
Moriah Energy Center, is investing new money in a county, that does not necessarily raise
their income. He stated that the companies invest the money here; however, investment does
not equal income. He stated that the value may not change, but it changes the utility
company’s piece of the pie. He stated the state appraisers take the total income for that
public utility company, then go statewide, then go down to Person County. He stated that
the amount of investment in Person County gives us a bigger portion of that net income. He
stated that it is all but impossible to guess. He stated that it is very difficult to for him to
predict revenue projections. He stated that he thinks Person County will continue to grow,
and based on what he is seeing, Person County would have more tax base in the future.
ADJUSTMENTS TO THE RECOMMENDED BUDGET
Chairman Puryear asked what would be the estimate if the set collections rate was
raised from 97.5% to 98.5%. Chief Financial Officer Tracy Clayton stated that it would be
$464,170. Puryear asked what was the collection rate. Tax Administrator Russell Jones
stated that the collection rate is 99.27%. Puryear asked the Board if there were any
thoughts on the requested positions being added to the budget. Commissioner Wilborn
stated that she is hesitant to add positions to Animal Services, because the only way they
are removed is by attrition, which would increase the work for HR. She stated that she
feels that the Animal Control Supervisor position is not needed, as Animal Services is
transitioning back to how it was before it shifted to the Sheriff’s Office, and the
Supervisor position was not needed prior to this. She stated that she had a question about
the Maintenance Technician position for Person Industries. County Manager Katherine
Cathey stated that the position is being requested due to the expansion of the recycling
line, the new machines, and the new workflow within the recycling center. She stated that
they did reduce their part-time line item to allow for some additional funding to go
towards this new position. Commissioner Long stated that the County is making an
investment in equipment, and asked is there a new revenue stream that is going to be
created by adding this person and this new equipment, or is it all just expenses that are
being added. Cathey stated that the County anticipates higher revenues with the new
equipment because of the separation procedures.
30

Cathey stated that the new equipment is going to allow the County to be able to
sort more effectively for sending things to the market, allowing separation and less
contamination to get a higher rate of return for selling those goods. Long stated that we are
talking about adding people and that we do not have a firm grasp of what kind of revenue
increase we would have to offset those expenses. Cathey stated that she would have to go
back and look at the departmental request and what was tied to it as far as revenues go.
She stated that the County needed to do something within the recycling center because the
equipment had been in place for a very long time and we were getting to the point where it
was extremely difficult to maintain, as well as risks associated with that related to worker
safety. She stated that the new equipment would allow staff to sort materials in a different
way, handle a higher volume of materials, and create other efficiencies within the center.
She stated that it was not going to be sustainable to continue to work with the equipment
already in place. She stated that she could go with Long and tour the facility with him.
Wilborn had concerns about the Assistant Chief EMS position and asked if this was
something that could be addressed with increasing an overtime budget or some way to
accommodate other than adding positions, which are not recommended in the manager’s
budget. Emergency Services Director Thomas Schwalenberg stated that the issue is
workload. He stated that when you look at the workload within the EMS division, they
have three administrative staff including himself, and that model has not changed in 10-15
years. He stated that the workforce continues to grow, and that the current EMS Chief
ends up spending the majority of her time dealing with operational issues and not dealing
with the larger strategic administrative issues that they really need to focus on. He stated
that it is a matter of bandwidth, so increasing overtime is not going to fix that issue. He
stated that the issue is the amount of work that needs to be done and not having enough
staff in place to do the work, which was the driving force behind that position request.
Long asked how many units did the County have 10 years ago. Schwalenberg stated that
he does not want to speak off the top of his head, and that he was not here 10 years ago.
He stated currently there are 4 trucks that are staffed regularly, plus the supervisor vehicle.
He stated that if you look at the call volume, and look at where they are at today, they
really need 5 trucks on the road, which is a staffing issue, and they would need more
people to be able to staff a fifth truck. Long asked how many calls are they responding to
daily and yearly. He stated that daily call volume varies, and that last year they responded
to 7,200 calls. He stated that the majority of transports are going out of the County. He
stated that when a unit transports a patient to Durham, Duke, or UNC, he may lose that
truck for two hours, meanwhile, calls continue to come in. He stated that yesterday, they
ran out of four trucks in 10 minutes, while all four trucks were gone, they received a call
for mutual aid, which is a regular occurrence, and could not assist. Long asked out of the
7,200 yearly calls, how many of those are emergencies. Schwalenberg stated that about
70% are advanced life support with the remaining 30% basic life support.
31
June 6, 2025

Cathey stated that not including the Assistant Chief of EMS position in the
recommended budget is not an indication that she does not see a need for that position or a
benefit to County operations for that position. She stated it was just part of the exercise of
trying to trim back. She stated that HR worked closely with the department to identify
some of the duties that are currently being performed by the Division Chief of EMS, and
where some of those duties could be carved out and reassigned to another position, giving
that position some additional duties, which helps with professional development, and
alleviating some of the pressure. She stated that this is an interim step to meeting a need,
but certainly does not satisfy the need that the department has as the demand for services
has continued to grow. Wilborn asked if there was a policy about supporting local
businesses. She stated that it was brought to her attention that somebody wanted to order
office furniture from a local vendor and was redirected to Amazon. She stated that she was
told that there may be a policy or practice that is promoted. She stated that the County
funds an entire department of three people that encourages, recruits, and supports small
businesses here. She stated that small businesses here are going to be paying taxes and
employing people here, as well as bringing in revenue. She stated if there is no policy in
place, she would like to see one. Cathey stated that she could not point to any specific
policy language around that. She stated that the County did implement Amazon Business
last year. She stated that the County does get some money back from the purchases that
are made through Amazon Business. She stated that the County is not discouraging local
purchasing, however there is an option in place to price compare and to determine whether
the price difference is significant enough to warrant ordering through Amazon to save on
tax payer dollars. She stated that there is no policy in place that states that everyone must
use Amazon Business. She stated that communication has been for staff to look at price
comparisons and make the purchase that makes the most sense with the spending of tax
dollars. Wilborn stated how do you know that every employee is price comparing. She
stated that the local business is bringing revenue into the County in multiple ways and we
are spending those tax dollars to fund a department to support that, so it is not necessarily
just a black and white this product is cheaper here than it is there. She stated that we are
trying to grow the local economy and what is the best way to do that. Long stated that
local people being employed, that are paying taxes, and buying services here. Wilborn
stated she had questions related to the increase in contracted services due to ArchiveSocial
and NextRequest. Cathey stated that they are two different services provided by Civic
Plus. She stated that the increase is an annual increase in the cost of subscribing to those
two services. Wilborn stated in reference to the Fleet Management Budget, looks like it
will be decreased. Cathey stated that it would be fewer vehicles purchased in FY26. She
stated that was a way to reduce the overall budget for the upcoming year. She stated that
in the current fiscal year the County purchased 28 vehicles, and 18 are recommended for
FY26. Vice-Chairman Thomas asked if there were any more problems with the fleet
management pertaining to the Sheriff’s Office.
32
June 6, 2025

Cathey stated that the County has not received vehicles in a timely manner, and did
not receive them as expected by implementing this program. She stated that for FY26, the
County is working with Enterprise to place orders for those vehicles that have been
identified in advance, and they will not be delivered unless funding is approved through
this budget process. She stated from staff’s perspective, they would like to give Enterprise
one more year to meet the expectations that were set when the County originally
implemented this program for speedier delivery of vehicles than the County was able to do
on their own. Long asked who was managing the fleet management program. Cathey
advised that General Services Director Ray Foushee is the primary contact. Long asked
how long did it take to come up with Enterprise as a vendor. Cathey advised that it was a
lengthy process to get to Enterprise. Long stated that Enterprise has been given a timeline,
and is the County working on identifying another vendor. Clayton stated that Enterprise is
the only vendor in NC who could handle something this size. She stated that if it does not
work, the County would have to revert back to the old way and come up with another
policy of how to order vehicles and manage that process. Commissioner Royster asked
how many vehicles we need from Enterprise to finish out this fiscal year. Foushee stated
that the County has received 19 vehicles and is expected to receive more next week. He
stated that the County budgeted for 30 vehicles, and they may come up four vehicles short
of that quota. Thomas asked if Foushee has seen any improvement with Enterprise.
Foushee stated things are getting better and working good from the maintenance side of it.
He stated that the County would like to give Enterprise another year as this past year did
not produce the results that the County had anticipated. Wilborn had questions related to
the Grant Writer. Clayton stated that the Grant Writer is a contracted position, and is
available to all departments, however, not all departments are utilizing the Grant Writer.
She stated that she is a little disappointed with the lack of outreach from some of the
departments to the Grant Writer. She stated that the way the Grant Writer works is that she
researches the grants and sends departments what she has, and the departments have to put
together a rough draft of the grant and then the Grant Writer takes it and makes it
presentable for the grant itself. Wilborn stated that she had a question about the fire tax
district. She stated her question was that the department request amount of the VFD
unallocated for $931,000 was not in the Manager’s recommended budget and she wanted
to know why. Cathey stated that the unallocated line item is calculated by what Jones
projects will be the revenues based on the tax rate. She stated that the County looks at
whatever is in that contracted services line item and then looks at each departmental
budget. She stated for next year, all of the volunteer departments are getting a 2% increase
based on their contract and that Timberlake got an additional $7,500 this year for their
ISO bonus. She stated that the original request was based on a five-cent tax rate, and the
recommended budget is based on a four-cent tax rate. The difference accounts for the
reduction in the unallocated line item. Thomas stated that he attended the chiefs’ meeting
last night and one major concern was the 2% was not going to be enough.
33
June 6, 2025
9
Cathey stated that she communicated with the chiefs’ association in February, by
memo, which explained where the County was in the budget process, and communicated
to them that if any of the departments felt that the 2% increase was not going to be enough
to meet their needs for the upcoming fiscal year for them to put together a request to
submit to the Manager’s Office. She stated that there was a deadline set for March 10,
2025. She stated that they were given the opportunity to submit a budget request providing
their revenue sources, anticipated expenditures, and what they would be requesting that
would need to be funded over and above the 2% increase. She stated that she did not
receive any requests from the fire departments. Puryear stated that the County is getting an
interest rate of 4.39% and having a 40% reduction in interest rates. He stated that he
understands that Finance has given a conservative number and that they would be working
with a lesser fund balance than the previous year. He asked Clayton what the makeup of
the interest earnings is, and how is that interest generated. Clayton stated that it is
everything in a money market. She stated that the County keeps operating funds that do
not earn interest at Truist. She stated that everything that the County does not need to
sustain their operating budget is moved to NCCMT, where we are currently earning
4.39%. She stated, last year, when the County had more fund balance, we were earning
5.25%. She stated that last year the County anticipated $1.8M in interest, and she does not
think that the County is going to make that this year. She stated that she believes the
County will be about $100K shy of that. She stated that she is trending out what she
anticipates to have in a balance within CCMT and a decent interest rate. She stated that
she does not think she will be able to project even flat. Part of that is due to sales tax
collections going down a lot. She stated that last month Person County was one of
seventy-four counties across the state that saw a year-over-year decrease in sales tax
revenue. She stated that at the Budget Retreat she provided the Board with an indication
that she was seeing that as a trend. She stated that this is also going to be the year where
we have an increase in refunds, which is money that we have to give back to nonprofits as
a county. She stated that she does not anticipate having increased sales tax. She stated that
she is hoping for flat, which means she has less money to earn interest on, which is why
she stays conservative with this. She stated that if we increase that interest rate and come
in under, we have to fill that gap with fund balance and that makes her nervous, since she
is trying to maintain at least a flat fund balance going forward, hopefully to grow it.
Puryear asked would Clayton be comfortable adjusting it to $1.2M and being a little less
conservative. Clayton stated that the $1.1M was her being a little less conservative, as the
County Manager recommended the $1M go up to $1.1M. She stated that she is working on
a policy to transfer as much as possible into NCCMT on a weekly basis so that the County
can earn more interest with a variable interest rate. Long asked how does the County
determine which local bank to have their money in. Clayton stated that there are only a
few banks in Person County that can handle that amount of money. She stated that a few
years ago the County put it out for a bid, through an RFP process, and that the County
talked to the banks and was sold that Truist was the one for the County at that time.
34
June 6, 2025
10
Long asked how often does this get looked at. Clayton stated that the County does
not look at this often, as it is a cumbersome, multi-year, painful process to transfer banks.
Puryear stated that the revenues for state reimbursement for inmates is down by 75%,
roughly 42% below previous year. Cathey stated that she does not think they have as
many state misdemeanor confinement inmates as they anticipated. Clayton stated that
when she asked, she was advised that they have to hold a certain number of beds for
Person County citizens. She stated that the detention center has been a little more in use
than it has been in the past for Person County citizens, therefore not having as many beds
for the state inmates. She stated that is one of the reasons that the revenues have gone
down. Puryear asked about the Register of Deeds fees and stated that we are over the
projected amount for the FY25 Budget, and asked why the decrease by 12%. Clayton
stated that part of the reason that you are seeing the increase in Register of Deeds fees this
year, FY25, is because of a lot of changing hands and the larger purchases that the County
has had. She stated that when she spoke to Lauren at the Register of Deeds, she is not
anticipating that level of volume or those large purchases that would continue with the
trend. Cathey stated that they do have an increase in one of their line items because they
are going to implement a new process through the Register of Deeds office, where people
can request their birth certificate, even if it is from another county. She stated that is
expected to increase the revenues coming in to them. Puryear stated that Wilborn talked
about the Grant Writer position, and he sees a decrease in revenue regarding grants. He
stated that he wonders about the lack of participation from department heads to pursue
other grants. He stated for example, PATS gets a transportation grant capital, you are
down $52K on that, and obviously there would be a reason for that. He stated that he is
asking, when you see the line item grants, and it is a decrease, is it just because they are
ordering the vehicles that is related to the grant. Cathey stated that the County gets 90%
reimbursement for the vehicles, and that is due to their replacement schedule. She stated
that what they are ordering for next year is compared to what was ordered this year. She
stated that with Emergency Services, they have lost some grant funding coming in for
Emergency Management because that has been federal funding that comes through the
state. She stated that you will see a reduction from the funding that the County is receiving
through the 911 Board because they are pushing the County to spend down our fund
balance that we have with them. She stated that in some cases, you will see a new grant
for $760K coming in for Parks and Rec. She stated that County departments are actively
seeking and going after grants. She stated that she has paperwork for Puryear to sign off
on for a Veterans Services grant for approximately $15K. Clayton stated that she received
paperwork yesterday, and Parks and Rec has a $25K youth sports grant that the County is
anticipating. Puryear stated that he knows Parks and Rec is on top of things with grants,
and he is not speaking on them per se, he is talking about other departments that are not
utilizing the Grant Writer as Clayton had hoped for. He stated that is his point, seeing
these lower revenues related to the department heads not utilizing the Grant Writer.
Clayton stated that some of the lower revenues are related to this as well as leftover
COVID money.
35
June 6, 2025
11
Clayton stated that a lot of grants were pushed to the County during COVID, and
then it carried over for a little bit, and that money is no longer available. Puryear stated
that PATS fees for fares is down, and we have got a $20K decrease, which is 28% down
from the previous year, and asked why was the expectation lowered. Cathey stated that it
is kind of a shift for how they are accounting for their revenues. She stated that under
PATS Medicaid Brokered services, it is going up by $25K, and you have a decrease in
fares by $20K, and a decrease in Medicaid Transportation by $5K. She stated that it is not
that the volume of service that is being provided is lower, but has to do with the types of
services being provided, and the way that is being billed, and how the County is collecting
those fares, and how the County is accounting for that. Puryear had questions related to
the Sheriff’s Office Budget. He stated that having a Deputy Sheriff at a County
Commissioner meeting is considered overtime. He stated that we are just under $1,800 of
meeting the Sheriff’s request. He stated that he would like to see the Board put in that
remaining amount, $1,779 to make that request fully funded, in the overtime line. Cathey
stated that would bring the overtime line back up to $30K for the adopted budget for this
fiscal year. She stated that they actually requested $31,320. She stated that below that line
item, a new line item was created, a new overtime line item in the amount of $10K, for a
total of $41,320 requested for overtime. Puryear stated that he would like to see $3,099
adjusted back in to fully fund the Sheriff’s overtime budget. He asked that Cathey explain
the maintenance request for vehicles as they requested $168K, and it was reduced to
$109K. Cathey stated that she did speak with the Sheriff’s Office about that request and
based on their current maintenance trends and receiving new vehicles in this fiscal year,
which they have not received, much of their maintenance costs this year is being driven by
these older vehicles that are going to be replaced. She stated after discussion with them,
they agreed that the $109K was an appropriate level to recommend. Wilborn stated that
she wanted to speak about the nonprofits. She stated that last year she encouraged PCBIC
that they should request a reimbursement of what they had invested over the years in the
Mega Site, which would have allowed them to go out and replenish our supply of
industrial property. She stated that PCBIC opted to ask just for some operating expenses
of $62,800. She stated that this year they are asking for funding in the amount of $50K.
She stated that she knows the value that this organization has brough to the County and its
economic development program. She stated that she would want to support that request.
She stated that it is difficult for her to understand, without having PCBIC here to say what
they would be able to accomplish with $50K. She stated that there is no question what
they could do if they had been reimbursed last year for what had been expended on the
Mega Site. She stated that she would be in support of continuing to support PCBIC. She
stated that $60K was given to Roxboro Housing Authority, maybe two years ago, and she
does not think that this Board has any update from them on how or where that money was
spent, and if it was used as it was intended. She stated that their agreement has no claw
back, so it is moot. She stated that the PCBIC agreement does have that accountability
within it, and she would like to hear from them, and what they could accomplish with
$50K in the coming year, and how they anticipate using that money for the public good.
36
June 6, 2025
12
Wilborn stated that she knows it is not recommended in the budget, but she wants
to continue to support that group. Puryear asked the Board if all members are in agreement
with adding $50K to that line item. Commissioner Royster stated that she would like to
comment about the comment made about Roxboro Housing Authority. She stated that
from her understanding, that money has not been used, and she believes that they did send
some type of information to both the city and county, and they had to change the
CEO/Director as he resigned. She stated that they had the shift in leadership and with that
came trying to bring all of that information for that project back together. She stated from
her understanding, the money is still there, nothing has happened, and it will be used as it
was intended to be used, for a homeless shelter. Vice-Chairman Thomas stated that also
was his understanding and agreed with Royster. Cathey stated that is also her
understanding, and while no formal report was received, she did receive an email
referencing the change in leadership. She stated that they still have the $60K that was
allocated by the County to be used for the actual construction and furnishing of the
homeless shelter at the time that is begun. Thomas stated that last year, the Board voted to
help the Veterans Council by hiring a resource person, and asked did she ever get her
office. Cathey stated that the County had a Veteran Services Officer (VSO) in place
already, and that she was part-time. She stated that the Board did vote to make her a full-
time employee. She stated that the VSO has an office at the senior center. She stated that
there is a desire, and the Board voted in favor of moving her to the Human Services
Center to be co-located within the Consolidated Human Services Department. She stated
that is still the intent, however if the five positions are approved for social services, then
the County would need to re-visit that space as a whole. She stated that there is some
space available within the Health Department, Juvenile Justice, and Freedom House. She
stated the space and needs will be further looked into. Puryear stated getting back to
PCBIC and their request for funding, he asked the Board was everyone in agreement with
Wilborn. Long stated that due to his involvement with PCBIC, he is recusing himself. It
was the consensus of the Board to add the $50K request from PCBIC to the budget.
Cathey stated that last year the County funded that item within the Economic Catalyst
Fund. She stated that she left that amount within the Economic Catalyst Fund and added it
into the Incentives line item for this year. She stated that she would recommend for next
year, if they want to fund PCBIC’s request, that they reduce the Incentives line item
within the Economic Catalyst Fund by $50K and add that to the PCBIC allocation line
item. Long stated that there has been a lot of discussion in the community about some
issues with the jail. He stated that his questions are not meant in any way to criticize the
Sheriff, he is just asking questions as it pertains to the facility, its design, and
maintenance. He stated he does not know exactly what the jail inspections may have
raised. He asked is the County giving the Sheriff’s Office the tools to meet what they need
to do. Cathey stated that they are in an aging facility that has a lot of problems associated
with it.
37
June 6, 2025
13
Cathey stated that there are ongoing maintenance issues that the County is
currently addressing with the plumbing, as well as other maintenance concerns within that
aging facility. She stated that you will see a larger addition to their budget to purchase a
new stove and oven for the kitchen. She stated as far as the jail inspections report,
whenever they receive them from the state, they are putting in a plan of corrective action
to address anything that is cited in the report. Foushee stated that the building was built in
1993, and is falling apart. He stated that the chilling system was replaced, the boilers were
replaced, replaced the water heaters, converted the HVAC to digital. He stated that right
now the biggest issue is the water pipes, the city water, due to chlorine, is eating the pipes
apart. He stated that the County will continue to put money in the building over the next
few years to maintain it and get it where it needs to be. Long stated that he also had
concerns from citizens in reference to the jail medical expenses. Cathey stated that the
Sheriff has been very proactive in implementing a program once he learned about it
through the Affordable Care Act to where they are enrolling any inmate who is coming
into the jail into the Affordable Care Act program, so that they receive health insurance,
for medical expenses while they are in the jail. She stated that this program is reducing the
medical expenses that the County is responsible for. She stated that the budget does
include an increase in that line item, just in case as a buffer for some of those unexpected
expenses. She noted that one particular inmate drove up those bills really high over a
period of time, and that individual is no longer a problem within the jail. Long
acknowledged that this was a problem all over the state and not just unique to Person
County. Puryear asked the Board if there were any adjustments to the recommended
positions. Wilborn stated that she would go to that money they found with raising the
percentage collection to 98.5%. Puryear asked the Board if all were in favor of raising the
collections percentage to 98.5%. It was the consensus of the Board to raise the collection
percentage to 98.5%. Puryear stated that looking at the EMS budget revenues, there is
about a 23% increase. Puryear asked Schwalenberg if he was conservative with those
numbers. Schwalenberg stated that the revenue comes from what they collect on transport,
and that their rates went up, as well as the reimbursement rate. He stated that there are
more people on insurance, which also increases the rate. Puryear asked if Schwalenberg
was comfortable with increasing that line item by $25K. Schwalenberg stated yes. Puryear
stated that he would like to see the interest earnings increase from $1.1M to $1.2M. He
stated that the Animal Control Officer position total cost is $167,197. He stated that if that
position is taken away, it would drop the tax rate from 64 cents down to 63 cents. Royster
stated that she is in favor of that position for the Animal Services Department as it is
needed. Thomas asked how many was on staff at Animal Services. Cathey advised that
there are four full-time staff, and two Animal Control Officers, which will be going back
from the Sheriff’s Office. Wilborn stated that it is hard for her to understand why the
position is needed, as they did not need it before transitioning to the Sheriff’s Office.
Puryear asked about the Solid Waste Host Fees. He stated that last year the County
budgeted $880K, and received $986K. He stated this year we are budgeting $900K, and
asked were we anticipating receiving more than that.
38
June 6, 2025
14
Cathey stated that the County is budgeting slightly higher. Clayton stated that she
could give $50K increase for the Solid Waste Host Fees.
A motion was made by Chairman Puryear and carried 4-1 to remove the Animal
Control Supervisor position from the recommended budget. Commissioner Royster voted
in opposition.
A motion was made by Commissioner Long and carried 5-0 to instruct staff to
prepare a Budget Ordinance for FY25-26 to be presented to the Board at their next
regularly scheduled meeting, reflecting the changes in effectively lowering the tax rate to
63 cents per $100.00.

PERSON COUNTY ORGANIZATIONAL CHART
County Manager Katherine Cathey presented the following pertaining to the
Person County Organizational Chart.
Current Chart with SOG representation on the right
Proposed Revised Organizational Chart
40
June 6, 2025
16
Cathey stated that the suggested revisions were to change at the top the Citizens of
Person County to Voters of Person County, and to add the Advisory Boards, appointed by
the County Commissioners, to the chart. Commissioner Royster stated that in looking at
the chart, that what is green, the voters have elected. She stated that also within the
organizational chart is departments that also serve those individuals who are not yet
voters, and she wants to make sure that they feel included because you have a growing
number of young people who are becoming more involved and want to know more about
government, politics, and the community. Commissioner Wilborn stated that this is an
opportunity to say, this is how your leaders are selected, and it is important for all, at any
age to be engaged, and develop your own ideas about what you think makes strong
government. Commissioner Long stated that he agrees with Wilborn.
Chairman Puryear called a recess at 11:28 a.m.
Chairman Puryear called the recessed meeting back to order at 11:40 a.m.
Wilborn stated that it was brought up at the last EDC meeting about who does the
EDC Board report to. She stated that the EDC Board stated that they do not understand
their role and authority. Puryear asked the Board’s thoughts about the organizational chart.
He stated that one thought that he would like to seek the Board’s opinion on, is to revisit
something that was discussed 10-12 years ago around the EDC. He stated that when the
EDC Board was created in 1985, the EDC Director reported to the EDC Board. He stated
over time, that changed and that position fell under the County Manager. He stated that if
there is interest from this Board, he thinks they need to revisit this. Long stated that that
was a very successful model they had, and as a matter of fact, Governor Hunt was
governor then, and he highlighted Person County’s program. He stated that a lot of
industry came to Person County during that period of time. Wilborn stated that she has
reflected on that time a lot. Puryear stated that he would like to see the EDC Department
get back to a more modified format that would be effective. He stated that it gives the
EDC more stake in the game, along with more responsibility with the Director reporting
directly to the EDC Commission. Royster stated she was in agreement, and she knows that
industry was booming during that time, and it was successful. Puryear stated that in
reference to the Organizational Chart, the EDC Board would be to the side of the County
Commissioners and then the EDC Director would go under the EDC Board. Cathey stated
that the bylaws for EDC need to be looked at and revised, prior to changing the EDC
Director to report to the EDC Board, as well as checking to see if there are any legal
implications for this. It was the consensus of the Board to add the structure of the EDC
department to the Board of Commissioners’ Meeting on July 21, 2025.

INFORMAL COMMENTS:
The following individuals appeared before the Board to make informal comments:
Alan Whitlow of 155 Rosewood Drive, Roxboro stated that he is the President of
the Person Veterans Council. He expressed thanks to the Board for their support during
The Wall That Heals. He stated that The Wall That Heals brought in over 13,000 visitors.
He stated that the Veterans Council could not have done this without the support of the
County or the Board. He stated that there is no way he can quantify the economic impact;
however, the human impact was huge.
Reggie Horton, a Person Veterans Council Member and Vietnam Veteran, stated
that he appreciated everything that the County has done, including support from the
Sheriff’s Office, and County government. He stated that it was a great experience, not
only for him, but for the families of Person County that lost their individuals, and for them
to get closure.
Ronnie Jeffries, a Person Veterans Council Member and Past President, stated that
there were people from Minnesota, Wisconsin, upper New York, Washington, D.C., West
Virginia, and southern South Carolina that they were able to talk to, who came to Person
County just for The Wall That Heals. He stated that on behalf of the Person Veterans
Council, they would like to present Chairman Puryear with a Wall That Heals t-shirt. Mr.
Horton presented Chairman Puryear with a custom-made challenge coin.
Beverly Cates of 806 S. Main Street, Roxboro stated that she grew up in Person
County and graduated in 1997. She stated that she is raising a 14-year-old son, here in the
same county she grew up in. She stated that in her day, there was no Palace Pointe, and no
public pool. She stated that today, there is a Palace Pointe, a new sports plex, and plans are
underway to invest in trails from Durham to Person County, a splashpad, and pickleball
courts, yet still no public pool. She stated that while the idea of a splashpad seems fitting,
most parents understand splashpads are most appropriate for preschool and elementary age
children. She asked why there are not public hearings to get resident feedback on how and
where to spend taxpayer dollars in a county that is pushing for businesses to invest here.
She stated that the County has done very little in the 28 years since she graduated high
school to provide resources for the citizens of this County. She stated that adolescents in
this County, specifically the 12-17 age range, have no resources available to them, and if
there are any available, they have to be paid for. She stated that she and her son drive to
Orange and Vance counties to use the public pools, and pay to do so. She stated that she
also buys an annual membership to Emerald Pointe in Guilford County. She stated she has
to do all of this because Person County has no resources. She stated that residents are
willing to put money into this County, but the County is still not willing to put money into
the resources for the residents.

Cates stated that with Person County being the home to Hyco and Mayo lakes,
there is an urgent need to provide a safe swimming resource where youth and adults can
learn to swim. She stated that she proposes funding that is budgeted for the splashpad and
pickleball courts be reinvested into a pool that this community has long requested and
definitely needs.
Amanda Wallace stated that she is standing here today because she wants to make
sure that they do not forget Kemari Morgan. She stated that Kemari was a one-year-old
child that died in the custody of Person County. She stated that this Board governs Social
Services, and it is their responsibility to do something. She stated that when children die,
something has to change. She stated that she worked in this state for ten years as a CPS
Investigator, where she has filed petitions, written court orders, and placed children with
their relatives. She stated that this is what gives her the authority to stand in front of the
Board and tell them that what is happening is a problem. She stated that she does not
know who is advising them, as they are not being advised well, and cannot answer what
happened to Kemari. She stated that Kemari’s two-year-old sister is still not home, and the
Board is doing nothing about it. She stated that it was mentioned by a Commissioner at the
June 6, 2025 meeting, what was the Board going to do about Social Services, and another
Commissioner said that they needed a ‘buffer”. She stated that there is no buffer right
now, they are it. She stated that Briauna Morgan wants to be here, yet she is in a
supervised visit at Social Services, aka ‘baby-jail’ visiting with her daughter. She stated
that Morgan’s daughter needs to be with her family and that the Board can make it happen
as they have placement authority, and that they do not need a judge.
Queen Hammond stated that she is running for United States Senate in 2026. She
stated that she ran in 2022. She stated that she is here today with the group, Operation
Stop CPS. She stated that the meeting was started with prayer, and she would like the
Board to try to do what God would want them to do, and if they don’t, they are living a lie.
She stated that God sees evil. She stated that the Board celebrated a young lady earlier for
her great accolades or whatever she did, and the baby that died could have been great as
well. She stated that someone needs to tell the mother of the child what happened to him.
She stated that the daughter, still in custody, has life and potential. She stated that the three
gentlemen who stood up and said they represent their family, and it was a human impact,
and all these things that they did, whatever they were with the veterans, that does not
exclude black people and black children. She stated that when the Board makes their
decision, remember God is watching and they have to pay for everything that they do. She
stated that if you are going to speak about human impact, and God, that you better be
living in truth because black people are tired. She stated that Trump got people blowing
stuff up, and we do not want that. She stated North Carolina is beautiful. She stated that
the mother deserves answers for her children.

Hart advised that he and DSS staff have already begun implementation on some
recommendations made by CCR. He stated the Human Services Evaluator position now
reports directly to him, as opposed to DSS Director Carlton Paylor. He stated that this
would help with accountability and ensuring a more direct line of communication with
staff that are processing cases. He stated that DSS has begun hosting quarterly meetings
with agencies throughout the community, which are open meetings. He stated that the
purpose of these meetings, which are called “Huddle Up with Human Services”, is to
provide partner agencies, as well as community members, with greater insight related to
the policies, statutes, and best practices that govern the work of Social Services, Veteran
Services and the Health Department. He stated that he, Director Paylor, Deputy Director
Kristy Perry, and Human Services Evaluator Ashley Stone meet bi-weekly to explore
those recommendations made by CCR in more depth, and to talk about the ways in which
they could be implemented and chart them out for the community.

FY26 BUDGET ORDINANCE
County Manager Katherine Cathey advised the Board that before them is the FY26
Budget Ordinance for adoption. She stated that we have spent many months getting to this
point, going back to November when the County began preparing the budget calendar
along with the documents associated with the budget process. She stated that at the June 6,
2025 Budget Work Session, the Board made adjustments to the Manager’s recommended
budget, and advised that they have a spreadsheet in their agenda packet which shows the
changes that were made. She stated that based on those amendments, the FY26 Budget
totals $108,823,546, which is a decrease of $178,916 from the Manager’s recommended
budget. She stated that this sets the property tax rate at sixty-three cents and the fire and
rescue tax district rate at four cents for FY26. She noted that there is one addition in
Section 30 that is highlighted in yellow, which is an addition to the County Manager’s
authorizations for the upcoming fiscal year. She stated that the Board has received some
agenda items throughout the current fiscal year related to Mini-Brooks Act exemptions,
and this would provide a provision that those can be approved throughout the year at the
County Manager level, without having to come before the Board. She expressed thanks for
everyone’s efforts in working through the budget process. She stated that this is CFO
Tracy Clayton’s first budget and she and her department have been short staffed through
this process. She stated that Katrina Fields also played a large role in preparing the budget
as well as retired CFO Amy Wehrenberg. Commissioner Wilborn stated that at the budget
retreat in February the Board passed a resolution to support the act to extend the elderly or
disabled property tax homestead exclusion, despite the association of county
commissioners urging counties not to support any bills that were going to reduce tax
revenues to counties. She stated that the Board requested a peer review of the reappraisal
process, to give the public confidence that it was done correctly through the tax office. She
stated that the Tax Office held workshops to assist citizens with how to review their tax
card and steps on how to appeal. She stated that at another Board meeting, the Tax
Administrator did a presentation pertaining to what was causing the tax values to increase.
She stated that during that meeting, the Board heard from citizens during an extended
public comment period, where the Board thanked them for being engaged. She stated that
the budget was made available to the public and a public hearing was held. She stated that
only one person signed up to speak at the hearing. She stated that the individual’s
comment was that she was fine with a tax increase, as long she received increased
services. She stated that she appreciated everybody’s work to get us where we are today
with the budget. She stated that the Board tried to be mid-range between what the tax rate
is now and what revenue neutral would be, and they ended up on the lower end of that.
She stated that the City of Roxboro held their budget public hearing this past Tuesday
night, and they also had no citizens to show up. She stated that one thing the City Manager
said during his presentation was that in their purchasing policy, they have a policy that
city staff is directed to support local businesses.

Wilborn stated that the Board discussed that in the Budget Work Session and she
thinks that if the County does not have that in place, they should. Cathey stated that she
has a note from the Budget Work Session to go back and look at that. Commissioner
Donald Long commented on how the COLA is calculated and the employee merit
increase. Cathey stated that the COLA is an average that comes from three different
indices. She stated that employee merit, which is based on employee performance, is 2%
for meets expectations, and 3% for exceeds expectations. CFO Tracy Clayton stated that
the County budgets 2.5% average for the merit. She stated that the COLA this year is
3.3%. Long stated that based on this, every employee’s salary would be going up a little
over 5.5% on average. Clayton stated that is correct. Long asked what was the total
number for salaries. Clayton advised that she would provide that number as she does not
know that off the top of her head. Long stated that he is trying to get at a number that the
County would have to budget and how many cents the County may have to go up next
year just to keep up with salaries only, not the price of toilet paper, electricity, or
insurance. Cathey stated that the County may be able to do some projections on that as far
as what that base is and what that would likely build upon for next year; however, there
are quite a bit of unknowns. She stated that there is growth to be expected in the new year,
but there will not be a way to accurately calculate it at this point. Long stated that he does
not plan to just mark time in his seat while he is in it. He stated that he wants to make
some contributions and bring something to the table. He stated that running the Board of
Commissioners and the County, is running a business. He stated that when you run a
business, you have to look and plan ahead. He stated that you have got to be able to
sustain those increases in your salary. He stated that you have got to look at what you are
doing to grow the tax base. He stated that he did not see anything in this budget where the
County is setting aside $3-5M to buy any land to come up with an industrial park. He
stated that the counties around us do and are regularly landing projects. He stated that is
how we grow our tax base. He stated that when you grow your tax base, your tax rate
comes down. He stated that he wanted to represent the taxpayer. Commissioner Royster
stated that she would prefer revenue neutral. She stated that the Board wants taxpayers to
feel that what they are paying into the community is also paying it back to them, like they
are investing into Person County and Person County should be investing into its citizens.
She stated that when looking at bringing industry to Person County and growing the tax
base, she has noticed that across the state, industries and companies are going to those
other counties that are investing into their residents. She stated that she wanted citizens to
know that the Board cares about them and they are not just up here throwing numbers out.
A motion was made by Commissioner Wilborn and carried 4-0 to adopt the FY26
Budget Ordinance.

AGENDA ABSTRACT
Meeting Date:
July 21, 2025
Agenda Title:
Chamber of Commerce Asbestos Abatement Reimbursement
Summary of Information:
The Roxboro Area Chamber of Commerce leases a portion of the first floor of the county-owned Kirby
Building, commonly known as 211 Main Street. Per the lease agreement, “the Lessee shall maintain the
premises and keep them in good repair at its expense, except that the heating and air conditioning
system, exterior walls and the roof will be maintained in good condition by Lessor. Lessee shall
maintain windows, doors, and interior walls.” The Chamber of Commerce recently installed new
flooring throughout the Chamber office and has been making other interior improvements.
In the process of estimating the cost of new flooring, asbestos tiles were discovered underneath the
carpet. The county attorney reviewed the lease agreement and determined the County is not responsible
for, but can lawfully contribute towards, the cost of asbestos abatement in the flooring of the county-
owned building. The Chamber’s executive director, Dana Blackwell, requested the county help pay for
some of the abatement costs. On March 3, 2025, the Board of Commissioners allocated funding in the
amount of $9,725 to cover half of the asbestos abatement expense.
Since the cost to the Chamber of making improvements to the interior of the county-owned building
have been higher than anticipated, they requested the County reimbursement the remainder of the
asbestos abatement expense in the amount of $9,725. Funding is available in the FY26 Undesignated
Contingency budget, which has a balance of $140,000.
Financial Impact:
$9,725 will cover the remaining half of the total cost for asbestos abatement. Funding is available in
the FY26 Adopted Budget.
Recommended Action:
Authorize the $9,725 expenditure for asbestos abatement in the Chamber office within the Kirby
Building.

The meeting was called to order informally at 4:05 pm by Charles Harvey. Note: A quorum was
not present. As such, no official business was conducted. The discussion was held for
informational and planning purposes only.
II. Continued Discussion: Dedication of NC History Room to Maude Williams

A commemorative plaque or display could be prepared in time for the Summer Reading Kickoff
event.
C. Additional Discussion Points
Bradsher asked for clarification on the use of the donation funds.
Gibson explained: The house served as staff housing and was later sold. Proceeds funded the
most recent library renovations, including a bathroom remodel, new carpeting, fresh paint, and a
commissioned mural (now in the teen space).
159
Bradsher suggested the mural could be dedicated to Ms. Williams since it directly benefited from
the donation.
Harvey noted that the funds were unrestricted and supported improvements across the library not
just the mural.
Gibson emphasized the donation’s uniqueness, suggesting a Courier Times article and noting the
relevance of the 10-year anniversary.
Harvey proposed that a dedication of the new space could encourage future similar contributions.
D. Concerns were raised about ensuring the dedication aligns with Ms. Williams’ life,
values, or interests, and that appropriate vetting of the honoree's background should be
conducted.
Harvey suggested that Von meet with Mr. Williams, a relative, to gather input.

future meetings. Restating that this would be her last meeting.

Attachment A
Economic Development Commission (EDC) Background
• The Person County EDC was established on Feb. 16, 1981 as a non-profit that functioned as an
autonomous body responsible directly to the Person County Board of Commissioners. In April
1984, Economic Development was established as a county department.
• The structure of the EDC was changed from a non-profit to a Public Authority within the
meaning of State Law, Chapter 159.
• For a period of time (unknown), the EDC had the authority to “hire and fix the compensation of
any personnel necessary to its operations… The Executive Director [functioned] directly under
the overall supervision of the Commission Chairperson.”
• Going back to at least September 20, 2012, the EDC has had the authority to “recommend the
employment of an Economic Development Director, who shall be the Director of the
Commission, and other staff as may be required.”
• The Economic Development is a county department with the mission “to create a new rural
model where family and tradition are valued, willingness to work hard can lead to success, and
community leaders embrace change and provide the best possible opportunities for all
residents.” The department has three full-time employees and is responsible for a FY26
departmental budget of $457,507 and Economic Catalyst Fund budget of $1,700,079. The
Economic Development Director (job description attached) reports to the County Manager.
• The Economic Development Action Plan is attached along with an action plan update that was
shared with the EDC in January 2025.
EDC Considerations
• Organizational structures for economic development vary greatly throughout the state, and
efforts may be led by county departments, economic development commissions or non-profits.
• The Person County EDC has been organized in a variety of ways over the past four decades.
• Currently, the Person County Economic Development Commission is an advisory board
comprised of an intentional mix of business leaders, educators, elected officials, and agricultural
and citizen representatives to shape pro-growth policies and practices.
• As detailed in the attached action plan update, the economic development staff has
accomplished the following over the past year: developed strong relationships with existing
industries and local, regional and state partners; pursued professional development
opportunities; finalized the sale of the Person County Mega Park to Microsoft and the North
Park site to Spuntech; leased the Old Asphalt Plant site at Raleigh Reginal Airport at Person
County to Alpha Craft Technologies; enhanced marketing efforts; sought grant funding;
launched a new website; worked directly with companies interested in relocating or starting
operations in Person County; submitted proposals to prospective companies; and continuously
engaged in other efforts that align with the department’s mission and the county’s strategic
plan.
162
Proposed Organizational Changes
• During the June 16, 2025 Board of Commissioners meeting, Chairman Puryear proposed
returning to the organizational structure of having the Economic Development Director report
to the EDC. Following a brief discussion, commissioners agreed to seek feedback from the EDC in
June and add this item to the board’s agenda in July for further consideration. During the June
24, 2025 meeting, after initial comments indicating members were satisfied with the current
organizational structure and bylaws, EDC members agreed to assume responsibility for
supervising the Economic Development Director if the Board of Commissioner adopts this
organizational structure.
• The following documents (attached) have been revised to incorporate the organizational
changes proposed by the Board of Commissioners:
o Organizational Chart
o Personnel Policy
o EDC Bylaws

Attachment B
Human Services Advisory Committee Considerations
• There is no corresponding legal requirement to create a social services advisory
committee when the board of commissioners assumes the powers and duties of a board
of social services.
• The board of commissioners could appoint a separate advisory committee for social
services or for other human services functions consolidated within the CHSA (G.S.153A-
77(a)), but it is not required by law to do so.
• An advisory committee is only statutorily required when the board of commissioners
becomes the board of health (either for a nonconsolidated county health department or
a CHSA that includes public health).
– Coates’ Canons NC Local Government Law, “Health and Human Services Advisory
Committees vs. Appointed Consolidated Human Services Boards – What’s the
Difference?”
Human Services Advisory Committee Example
This committee is appointed by the Board of Commissioners to advocate, advise and consult
regarding services within the Department of Human Services. The board is composed of five
members who are appointed for three-year terms.
In the first year of organization, the terms will be staggered with three members appointed to
three-year terms and two members appointed to two-year terms.

Agenda Title:
Reappointment of County Tax Assessor
Summary of Information:
As required by G.S. 105-294(a), the Person County Board of Commissioners must appoint a
Tax Assessor. The Board of Commissioners appointed the current tax assessor, Russell Jones,
on July 12, 2021 for a 4-year term, which will expire this month. The current tax assessor is
certified by the North Carolina Department of Revenue as an Assessor, and therefore eligible
for a 4-year appointment. It is customary for counties to appoint an Assessor for the full 4-
year term.
§ 105-294. County assessor.
(a) Appointment. – Persons occupying the position of county assessor on July 1, 1983, shall
continue in office until the first Monday in July, 1983. At its first regular meeting in July,
1983, and every two years or four years thereafter, as appropriate, the board of county
commissioners of each county shall appoint a county assessor to serve a term of not less than
two nor more than four years; provided, however, that no person shall be eligible for initial
appointment to a term of more than two years unless such person is deemed to be qualified as
provided in subsection (b) of this section or has been certified by the Department of Revenue
as provided in subsection (c) of this section. The board of commissioners may remove the
assessor from office during his term for good cause after giving him notice in writing and an
opportunity to appear and be heard at a public session of the board. Whenever a vacancy
occurs in this office, the board of county commissioners shall appoint a qualified person to
serve as county assessor for the period of the unexpired term.
Financial Impact:
None
Recommended Action:
Appoint a County Tax Assessor for a designated term and administer oath.

NCDOT Prioritization 8 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program Project Submittals
Summary of Information:
Work has begun with NCDOT as well as the RPO to generate a list of local priorities for
submittal for prioritization.
Person County currently has project U-5969 working its way through the funding steps. This
project calls for improvements to Madison Blvd/501 within Roxboro city limits to convert 5
lanes to 4 lanes with a planted median and a number of intersection improvements. The project
starts just south of US 158 near Walmart and extends to North Main Street and has been
divided into 3 segments.
Segment B (from NC 157 to W Morehead St), is funded. Right of Way is scheduled for 2029
and Construction is scheduled for 2031. No further requests are needed for this project to
continue.
Segment A (from Walmart near US 158 to NC 157) will compete for funding, but does not
need to be resubmitted as Preliminary Engineering was funded in the current TIP. This project
will continue moving through the funding steps.
Segment C (from W Morehead St to N Main St) is unfunded, but will compete in this next
round of prioritization as a “sibling” to the other segments. It does not need to be resubmitted
and will continue moving through the funding steps.
There is also AV-5818 to extend the runway at the airport. That project is funded with
construction scheduled in 2026. No further action is needed for this project to continue.
Below is a categorized and locally ranked listing of projects that have been previously
submitted:
Aviation 1 Airport runway extension 7,000-ft., taxiway extension, realign SR 1311 (Cates Mill Rd.)
2 Expand existing terminal building from 2,000 SF-5,000 SF, parking lot, water line

3 Box hangar and taxi lanes
Bike-Ped 1 Durham-to-Roxboro Trail (Long Version)
2 Durham-to-Roxboro Trail (Short version)

Highway 1 US 501 from US 158 to N. Main St. (4-lane divided, intersections, sidewalks)
Section A ROW & utilities scheduled for FY27; construction FY29
Section B Preliminary PE funding only; subject to reprioritization
Section C Preliminary PE funding only; subject to reprioritization
2 Continue 4-laning 501 from Polywood north
3 4-lane 158 from Granville County to Caswell County (Caswell side lower priority)
Transit 1 1 expansion vehicle (PATS)
The modernization of US 501 north of Roxboro and US 158 from Granville County to Caswell
County have not competed as well against other projects submitted from neighboring
jurisdictions.
Financial Impact:
Local match requirements will vary based on the approved project.
Recommended Action:
Adopt a resolution stating the county’s ongoing support for AV-5818 and U-5969 and request
funding for the projects listed above. A draft resolution is attached for consideration or
amendment.
