Trivedi stated that this consolidation would consolidate four standalone ordinances,
Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance, Solar Energy Systems Ordinance, Ordinance
Regulating Sexually Oriented Businesses, and Zoning Ordinance limiting heights of
objects around Raleigh Regional Airport at Person County, into the Planning Ordinance as
unified articles. He stated that this is a nonregulatory consolidation, to include
formatting/structure only to update headings, numbering, capitalization, cross-references,
table of contents, remove duplicative elements, and improve legibility and administrative
efficiency.
Vice-Chair Wilborn noted several corrections that included the following:
Header corrections:
o Page 34: “Variances” spelling correction
o Section 82: “Special” spelling correction
o Section 92: “Exposure” spelling correction
o Section 158: “Zoning” spelling correction
Table of Permitted Uses: Remove reference to “Solar Energy System
Ordinance” (now incorporated via consolidation).
Acronyms: Ensure consistent capitalization (e.g., DU, SUP).
Private Road Standards: Confirmed by County Attorney, T.C. Morphis, Jr. that
this will be handled separately via future text amendment due to interpretation
changes needed.
Commissioner Long asked Trivedi if the Planning Board recommended this and if
there would be any change to the ordinance. Trivedi stated that yes, the Planning Board
voted to recommend this go before the Board of Commissioners and that there would be
no change in the ordinance, as this is only consolidating the four ordinances into one
ordinance and cleaning up the language to correct grammar and advised this is a non-
regulatory consolidation.

FY 2027-2031 RECOMMENDED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT
PLAN (CIP)
County Manager Katherine Cathey stated that the recommended CIP was
presented to the Board on April 6, 2026. She stated that with the Boards approval today,
they would be indicating intent to fund this in the upcoming budget for year one only. She
stated that the remainder of the years is a plan, and it charts out the needs over the
subsequent four fiscal years. She stated that she and Chief Financial Officer Tracy Clayton
are available to answer questions and engage in discussion with the Board around projects
that are included in the CIP. She stated that included projects are County projects as well
as projects for Person County Schools and Piedmont Community College.
Commissioner Long asked if the Board had to approve a CIP before they actually
get into the budget numbers, as he has concerns about committing to spending money,
before full budget review. Cathey advised that the County typically sets up this process to
where they can find out what the Board would like to see in the CIP, so that they can make
sure that they have included an adequate amount of funding in the recommended budget.
She stated that that helps staff formulate the entire budget proposal. She stated that the
Board is not committed completely to funding this plan until they adopt the budget and
that there is some flexibility for making changes. She stated that it is a dynamic plan that
can be changed throughout the year as well. Chief Financial Officer Tracy Clayton stated
that she agreed with Cathey and that staff does this in a step-by-step process so that they
can get an idea of what the Board wants to do with the CIP, and staff can fold that into the
adopted budget. She stated that if the Board does this all at one time, it is going to take a
lot more of their time and dedication. She stated that the General Fund contribution is built
in, so that you will know how much will be coming out of the whole budget into this
budget. Long stated that there is no money allocated in the CIP for an industrial park,
which would expand that tax base and alleviate lowering the tax rate. Cathey stated that
there is no money for property acquisition in the CIP. She stated that funding is available
in the Economic Catalyst Fund, both in budgeted funds as well as fund balance, which the
Board may choose to use towards land acquisition in the future.
38
April 20, 2026
33
Chairman Puryear stated that he does not recall land acquisition being included in
the CIP. Vice-Chair Wilborn stated that she is in agreement with Long. She stated that she
would be reticent to approve anything that was new or that would require additional
ongoing costs or staff support. Clayton stated that it is the custom of the Board to set a
$3.2 million limit on the CIP, and the County has stayed under that. She stated that staff
comfortably built in what can be funded through the General Fund with the adopted
budget. She reminded the Board that they are adopting the CIP as a placeholder moving
forward into the adopted budget, and if during the adopted budget they decide they want
to change things inside the CIP, they can do that as well. She stated that it is not a formal
commitment until the Board adopts the entire budget in June. She stated that it is very
difficult to form a balanced budget if you do not have an idea of what the CIP is going to
be. She stated that there are a lot of moving pieces with the CIP and how it folds into the
adopted budget. She stated that when the Board does the work sessions, and she typically
puts the calculator up on the screen, this would not be something, if the Board were to
make changes inside the CIP, that she would be able to give the Board in real-time. She
stated that she would have to take their recommendations, go back and form that budget,
and then bring it back to the Board, to show how it applies to the adopted budget, which
would mean additional work sessions. Wilborn stated that there are several new items
within Parks and Recreation that are being introduced. Puryear stated that if the Board
wanted to table this as they move into the budget session, they have the right to. He
reminded the Board that the CIP needs to be approved before approving the budget
ordinance, and that they can push this back as they get closer to doing budget work
sessions. He stated that the Board is not obligated for all the projects in the CIP, as stated
previously, these are recommended projects. Wilborn stated that she would like to hear
from John Hill, Recreation, Arts and Parks Director, about his priorities and how critical
some of these items are. Clayton stated that Hill did put everything in priority order.
Cathey stated that with Parks and Recreation, there are three projects. She stated one being
the ADA accessible playground update, athletic field pole and light replacements, and
public splash pad. Resurfacing of the tennis courts was a priority item and repair is funded
in the operating budget as an alternative to full resurfacing. Commissioner Royster stated
that she is an advocate for the splash pad and would like to see that item come to fruition.
Wilborn mentioned the General Assembly talking about capping tax levels based on local
decisions. She stated that residents are asking for more amenities and at the same time
stating they cannot afford to pay their taxes. She stated that the Board has a tough decision
to make. She stated that the focus needs to be on economic development. She stated that
the County needs the investment from Microsoft to come through to be able to obtain
more tax revenue to fund more of the things that the community wants
A motion was made by Vice-Chair Wilborn and carried 5-0 to table the FY 2027-
2031 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for further discussion.

April 20, 2026

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
County Manager Katherine Cathey stated that the EDC bylaws were previously
amended to make EDC the appointing authority and to route directives from the EDC
Chair to the Director. She stated that the Economic Development Director position is
currently vacant. She requested guidance on structure, supervision, and hiring authority,
given statutory personnel responsibilities under the County Manager’s authority.
Vice-Chair Wilborn stated that she would like to see it move more towards private
to where private sector investment and engagement could take place. She suggested that
the County Manager be part of the Executive Committee in an ex-officio non-voting
position, and change the EDC Chairman roles to be the Executive Committee roles, where
the County Manager would always be involved in providing direction to the Executive
Director. She stated she would like to implement compensation for the Executive
Committee, excluding the County Manager and Commissioner appointee.
County Manager Katherine Cathey stated that the way the general statutes are
worded in terms of the statutory authority for hiring and firing creates uncertainty around
EDC supervision. She stated that there would need to be very clear communication
channels in terms of sharing information if the day-to-day direction is coming from the
Chairman of the Executive Committee to the Executive Director. She stated that there
could be difficulty in day-to-day direction from multiple members of a board. She stated
that she does have words of caution for that particular setup.
Commissioner Royster stated that she would like to see a clearer path for
personnel, ensuring that the lines are not blurred. She stated that ultimately it would fall
back on the County Manager.
Chairman Puryear asked all members of the Board, what was their desire, to revert
to the old way before all the changes were made, and the EDC being strictly an advisory
board with the County Manager solely involved with the hiring of the director with input
from the EDC or keep it as it currently is with EDC members having authority over the
EDC. He asked each Board member if they prefer the old way or the current way with
Vice-Chair Wilborn’s recommended changes bringing in the County Manager as ex-
officio, keeping in mind that the EDC Executive Board would be the hiring authority for
the new director. Vice-Chair Wilborn stated that she wished to withdraw her previous
suggestions, upon hearing the cautions from Cathey, as she is fearful that the EDC would
go back to like it was and have no purpose. She stated that she would like to see it go back
to the old way, that the BOC would be attentive, that the EDC provide feedback, and hold
the County Manager accountable through oversight.
40
April 20, 2026
35
Commissioner Thomas stated that he would like to go back to the old way.
Commissioner Royster stated that she would like to go back to the old way. Commissioner
Long stated he would like to go to the new way as Wilborn suggested with the EDC
Executive Committee being in charge of hiring and adding the County Manager to the
committee.
A motion was made by Chairman Puryear and carried 4-1 for the EDC to revert
back to the old way emphasizing the importance of the County Manager ensuring that the
EDC is fully involved in the process. Commissioner Long voted in opposition.
County Attorney T.C. Morphis, Jr. asked the Board if they would like revised
bylaws added to the next meeting for adoption. Chairman Puryear stated yes.
County Manager Katherine Cathey advised that over the next two weeks she will
conduct a salary survey to determine if the position classification and salary range should
be updated according to current market and prepare a job posting and recruitment plan,
which will involve the EDC, in the process of selecting the next Economic Development
Director.
PROCESS FOR AMENDING THE PLANNING ORDINANCE
County Manager Katherine Cathey provided a summary of the current Planning
Ordinance.
She provided the following current ordinance references:
§153-2 (Initiation) currently lists: BOC, Planning Board, Board of Adjustment,
or owners/optionees/lessees.
§153-3 (Submission) referenced “or staff” in the fee exception language,
creating a discrepancy.
§153-4 (Planning Board): requires public hearing, notice, and written
recommendation to BOC within 30 days. BOC is not bound by Planning Board
recommendations.
41
April 20, 2026
36
Vice-Chair Wilborn stated that she requested this item be added to the agenda. She
stated that she would like to see it practiced that text amendments are only brought
forward at the request of the BOC, the Planning Board, or by citizens who file an
application. She stated that she has spoken to the Chair of the Planning Board, and that the
Chair would like for it to omit the Planning Board and for the request to come from the
BOC or citizens. Wilborn stated that there have been two text amendments that came from
Planning staff, that were presented and voted on by the Planning Board, that have not been
brought to the BOC. She stated that one text amendment was about buffers and
landscaping, and the other for a technical review committee. She stated that she would like
to add the language that once something is presented to the Planning Board and they have
voted on it, that it be brought to the BOC at their next appropriate meeting, within the next
month, and can only be delayed at the request of the BOC.
Chairman Puryear stated that he is in agreement with Wilborn. He stated that if a
change is needed, it needs to be requested by a resident and not a staff member. He stated
that Planning staff should not have the authority, and should be prohibited from initiating
requests, unless directed by the BOC, or receives an application from the public. He stated
that he has spoken to several members of the Planning Board, and they feel it is not their
duty just to change things for the sake of changing them. He stated that if Planning staff
feels something needs to be addressed, they would need to come to the BOC.
Wilborn stated that there is a new practice where the items are brought to the
Planning Board for review/discussion in one month and then brought back the next month
for a vote. She stated that twice this year the meeting was not properly noticed, therefore
postponing or cancelling the meeting. She stated that she would like for the practice to be
that it is presented once to the Planning Board for review, discussion, and vote, then go
before the BOC.
Commissioner Long had concerns related to §153-2 and §153-3, and noted
discrepancy related to staff initiation for submission of petitions. He also had concerns in
reference to the fee(s) associated with applicants submitting an application, as he stated
that fee does not need to be excessive. Cathey acknowledged the discrepancy and stated
that related to the fee it is established annually during the budget process. Long stated that
staff needed to be removed from §153-3, and Cathey stated yes, that would make it
clearer.

Wilborn asked where does that leave the ones that have already been proposed by
staff that have not yet made it to the BOC. County Attorney T.C. Morphis, Jr. advised if
they were truly initiated by staff, it is the Boards’ discretion if they want to have them
continue through the process.
A motion was made by Vice-Chair Wilborn and carried 5-0 to instruct staff to no
longer proceed with staff-initiated text amendments and to withdraw those previously
mentioned staff-initiated text amendments, and to bundle the §153-3 cleanup with the
Private Road Standards amendment into a single consolidated text amendment package for
public notice and hearing.
