Problem and Solution Narratives  The Need/Problem: Describe the need and/or problem you have identified and wish to address with this program? Who or what is affected by this problem? How so? (Max words 500) During recent years, and especially since the COVID pandemic, Macon County has experienceda a significant increase in responses to lost and injured hikers on area trails and remote areas of Macon County. Coupled with this increase in calls for service is a marked decrease ini the number of available volunteers to respond with area Fire Departments. Calls for lost and injured hikers require manyman hours and often turn into extended operations exhausting scarce resources of our departments Responses are encountered year round and rescuers face difficult terrain, adverse weather and low light scenarios. Often the injured or lost are unfamiliar with the area and provide poor information regarding their location causing responders to cover many miles of trail on foot wasting precious time and Please explain your understanding of the root cause(s) oft the need youl have identified. (500 words max.) Many times, reaching an injured person in a timely manner has a significant impact on their survival and recovery. Many of our area trails are very rugged and unforgiving to even the most experienced hikers. Several rescue agencies have motorized all terrain vehicles (ATV's) commonly known as side by sides, four wheelers or "Gators" however the roughterrain found around most recreational trails poses difficulty in utilizing motorized ATV's and even off-road motorcycles. Please provide the data and sources you used to justify the magnitude oft the need/problem you identified. (Max words 500) Macon County has 16 area trails covering over 90 miles and includes the Bartram Trail System and the world famous Appalachian Trail. Iti is estimated that over 10,000 people per year travel the AT alone.

Who informed, or was involved in, identifying the stated need/problem? (150 words max.) Leaders of Emergency Medical Services, Fire & Rescue Departments and our Macon County Emergency Management attempted toi identify areas where we could improve service delivery to our citizens. Sadly, we are recognizing at trend of decreased volunteerism across our nation and our county. This strain on our resources is also coupled with as significant increase in demand as cally volumes and request for  services of our emergency responders continues to grow.    Why is it important to address this need/problem now? (150 words max.)  The COVID-19 pandemic has led many to seek less densely populated areas. Americans have begunt to vacate metropolitan areas in favor of the atmosphere provided by our western Carolina mountains. Here iti is no problem to maintain our "social distance". This trend has also led to as surge in outdoor activities including visiting our remote mountain recreation areas. Iti is evident that this trend will continue as will the increased demand on our emergency services and local healthcare system.

PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD:  (A) Tom Henderson spoke about excessive dog barking and requested the board consider amending the Animal Control Ordinance to include language regarding excessive barking of dogs, including hunting or sporting dogs while not on a hunt or in their cages and kennels. Mr. Henderson stated he had spoken with state Senator Karl Gillespie who had also researched the issue for him. He suggested the amendment include a violation of any dog barking for more than 20 minutes with a written warning being issued by an Animal Control Officer for the first offense with a 30-day period to rectify the situation; and, for each offense after that impose a $50 fine per occurrence, one occurrence per day, with no limit.

He requested the board give careful consideration to a dog problem that is severe and continual.  After discussion by the board and the indication that some additional emails had been received this week regarding the barking dog(s) and similar issues, Commissioner Beale suggested that Mr. Ridenour review the ordinance and advise the board before taking any action. Mr. Ridenour stated he could perform the review but there were some comments about the topic that he would not want to make in public that would need to be discussed in closed session. Mr. Ridenour also shared that a private civil action against the neighbor could be an option for the concerned citizens to take, as an ordinance is much harder to enforce. He said he would discuss this further with the board in closed session  at the appropriate time during this meeting.  (D)Jean Pinkston thanked the board for allowing her to be a part of the COVID-19 Call Center and for recognizing those individuals tonight. She said she wanted to entreat the board in the educational settings as much as possible.

Mrs. Pinkston stated that as a mother, wife grandmother and a grandmother to children who are not of age to be vaccinated that she would like for them to be safe and feels that our vulnerable children in the community have the right to be protected to the best of our ability. She requested the board talk about it, discuss it here or in a private meeting and come forth with some suggestions for all the different departments and the board of education. Commissioner Higdon stated that this would be a topic of the board ofeducation meeting to be held on Monday night. Mrs. Pinkston stated she would like for that board to have this board's input, feeling and direction and that she would like to think that this board's direction would be to encourage them to be cautious as she feels we are not at the place we need to be at with vaccinations to keep our community  safe.  Minutes 04.13.21 Page 3 of7    ADDITIONS, ADJUSTMENTS TO AND APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA: Upon a motion by Commissioner Higdon, seconded by Commissioner Shields, the board voted unanimously to approve the agenda, as adjusted, as follows: To remove Item 11C under New Business, Contract for involuntary To add Budget Amendments #32 and #33 to Item 12B under the Consent To add Item 11B under New Business, Nantahala project update, per  commitment transports, per Mr. Roland.

REPORTS AND PRESENTATIONS:  (AResolution in Support ofClosing North Carolina's Health Insurance Gap = Commissioner Beale introduced Casey Cooper, Chief Executive Officer of the Cherokee Indian Hospital Authority stating the hospital serves about 14,000 members of the Eastern Band and that Mr. Cooper has been very active in Western NC and the state in trying to provide better health services to the citizens. Mr. Cooper shared a PowerPoint presentation and stated that at the conclusion of the presentation he hoped the board would be compelled to support a resolution to help close the coverage gap in North Carolina. Mr. Cooper's presentation included a significant amount of data describing the healthcare challenges in Western North Carolina which are impacting individuals, the workforce and the community. He described the suicide ofa nearby community member which he believes would not have occurred had the individual had adequate healthcare coverage. Chairman Tate indicated that he had spoken with Senator Kevin Corbin, who was in favor ofthe expansion in Medicaid coverage. Mr. Cooper shared that this presentation is also being shared with Swain, Jackson and Haywood counties. He said Swain and Jackson have already passed the resolutions and Haywood has it on the agenda for their next meeting. Mr. Cooper stated that Graham County had passed a resolution more than a year ago. Commissioner Beale stated that 38 states now have Medicaid expansion and that Macon County cannot compete with the metropolitan counties in regard to healthcare. Commissioner Higdon stated he felt this was a great presentation but was for the wrong audience and our passing of ar resolution would not be very meaningful. He said this is a decision to be made at the state level. Commissioner Young asked some questions about Medicaid payments and the loss of the labor and delivery services in Macon County, which were addressed by Mr. Cooper. Commissioner Beale read a resolution into the record and made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Shields, to support it as read. The motion passed 4-1 with Commissioner Higdon opposed.  Minutes 04.13.21 Page 4 of7    OLD BUSINESS:  (A)Discussion regarding electoral districts - Commissioner Higdon stated that Mr. Ridenour was here to answer some questions and that he had asked Melanie Thibault, the county's Board of Elections Director, to attend the meeting to help answer some questions as well. Mr. Ridenour stated he had sent a response to some questions by email and that redistricting could be done. Commissioner Higdon explained that the board is not in favor of moving to two-year terms overall but, he is proposing the board look at a way for DistrictsIand: III to not have to wait for four years to run, suggesting one candidate be elected from each district with the addition of two at-large members which was somewhat a mirror of the Macon County Board of Education structure. This was followed by discussion among board members, Mr. Ridenour and Ms. Thibault about the board of education structure, legislation regarding electoral structures, district lines, population and other matters. Commissioner Beale said the current structure had worked well for many years and he feels it is a waste of the board's time to try to fix something that is not broken. Commissioner Higdon stated he did not feel the other board members were understanding what he was asking. Commissioner Beale stated the process of redistricting could not occur until the new census comes out and that the process of drawing new lines could be very costly and complicated. Chairman Tate said he agrees with the concept Commissioner Higdon is presenting but believes the confusion is between population and geography. He said unfortunately Districts I and III do not have the population to shrink those districts which would require expanding the geography oft the districts which could potentially result in the absences of a representative from Highlands. No action was taken, although board members expressed interest in knowing more about the process used by the school board and requested information be provided at a  future meeting.  (B)Nantahala Library/Community Center  Commissioner Higdon  stated that he wants the process of selecting a site for a new library in the Nantahala community to keep moving forward. Mr. Roland stated that the property the county recently purchased had been cleaned up and that the county maintenance department staff had done a great tjob and had completed the clean-up within the budget. He stated we have done all we can do until the board decides what is going on that property. Commissioner Higdon asked what the next step should be and whether or not the library was willing to go there. Commissioner Beale stated the library had approached the school board and requested permission to move into the school and the school board was tor render a decision at its next meeting. Commissioner Higdon asked  Minutes 04.13.21 Page 5 of7    about procuring an architect to look at making it a community building or community building/library. Mr. Roland stated that decision is going to rely on knowing the outcome of the school board decision about the library sO we know what direction to give to the architect. He said ifthe board desires, after knowing the school board decision, the county could have a resolution exempting architectural services ready for review and approval at the next meeting. No action was taken.  NEW BUSINESS:  (A)Change orders #003, #004, and #005 on Macon Middle School renovation project - Planning, Permitting and Development Director Jack Morgan explained change order #003 in the amount of $16,366 is for stairway stair treads which do not match the current design. They will be replaced with new gray-colored one. He stated that change order #004 addresses replacement of windows. He said the windows were not installed as per the drawing at the time and that unfortunately the frames are structural and are spot welded in. Mr. Morgan explained the solution that has been recommended will cost $9,830. Mr. Morgan stated that change order #005 involves replacing some doors due to their condition. He stated they are trying to do this in the most economical way possible and have chosen to try and refinish some others because they are in good condition. Mr. Morgan shared that this change order also includes the cost of refinishing some oak handrails and trims which look bad now that everything around them has been replaced and/or updated. He stated that the wheelchair lift that was to be installed at the stage must now be removed from the project as there is no feasible way to install it and that in the future a ramp may have to be builti in a storage area. Mrs. Carpenter indicated that she has numbers from the change orders and a current balance in contingency of $817,800. She stated that one of the budget amendments she added to the agenda is requesting to take $28,978 from the project contingency and move it over to the construction line. Commissioner Beale stated that we are fortunate to have Jack Morgan and that the contractor is doing outstanding job. He stated we have already turned over some areas of the school to get ready for the new year and school starts on August 23.
