Attachments X Yes Agenda Item 11A-11D  No    Resolution supporting an application to the Local Government Commission for its approval of a financing agreement 2021 Macon Middle SchoolImprovements: and Loan Refinancings  WHEREAS--  The Macon County Board of Commissioners (the "Board") has previously determined to carry outimprovements and renovations to Macon Middle School. The Board has also made a preliminary determination to finance this project through an installment financing, as authorized under Section 160A-20 of the North Carolina General Statutes. The Board has been advised that the County may be able to save money by refinancing some ofits outstanding loans at the same time.  North Carolina law requires that the County's financing be approved by the North Carolina Local Government Commission (the "LGC"), a division of the North Carolina State Treasurer's office. Under the LGC's guidelines, this governing body must make certain findings of fact to support the County's application for the LGC's  approval of the County's financing arrangements.  1. THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED as follows:  (a) The County makes a preliminary determination to finance proxtmately51600000 toj pay capital costs ofthe proposed school improvements  and related financing costs.  (b) Ina addition, the County: makes aj preliminary determination to financean amount estimated as up to approximately $11,500,000 to refinance existing loans. The amountforrefinancing may be reduced depending on which County loans can be  efficiently refinanced, and will include amounts for financing costs.  (c) The Board will determine the final amount to be financed by a later resolution. The final amounts financed may be slightly lower or slightly higher than as described above. Some oft the financing proceeds may epresentrembursement to  the County for prior expenditures on project costs.    2. The Board makes the following findings of fact in support of the  Countysappication to the LGC:  (a) The proposed othncymlyppiue fori the County under  all the circumstances.  (b) The proposed installment financing is preferable to a bond issue for the same purposes. The school financing is for a discrete facility and is therefore particularly suitable for installment financing. The financings to be refinanced are either already installment financings or can otherwise effectively be combined with  this newi installment financing.  The County has no meaningful ability to issue non-voted general obligation bonds for this project. This project will produce no revenues that could be used to support a self-liquidating financing. The County expects that in the current interest rate environment for municipal securities there would be no material difference in the overall financing costs between general obligation bonds and installment  financings for this project.  (c) The estimated sums to fall due under the proposed financing contract are adequate and not excessive for the proposed purpose. The County will closely review) proposed financing rates againstmarketrates with guidance from theLGCand the County's financial adviser. All amounts financed will reflect either approved  contracts, previous actual expenditures, or professional estimates.  (d) As confirmed by the County's Finance Officer, () the County's debt management procedures and policies are sound and in compliance with law, and (ii)  the County is not in default under any ofi its debt service obligations.  (e) Given the County's need fori the project, thel Board believes thatt the effect on the County's budget and the tax rate impact will be reasonable under all the circumstances. The County Board will work to minimize the tax rate impact of the borrowing in a manner consistent with moving forward with the project and addressing the full range of County needs. The refinancings will resultinal lower debt  service burden for the County.    () The County Attorney is of the opinion that the proposed project is authorized by law and is a purpose for which public funds of the County may be  expended pursuant to the Constitution and laws of North Carolina.  3. Additionally, the Board resolves as follows:  (a) The County intends that the adoption of this resolution will be a declaration of the County's official intent to reimburse project expenditures from financing proceeds. The County intends that funds that have been advanced for project costs, or which may be sO advanced, from the County's general fund, or any  other County fund, may be reimbursed from the financing proceeds.  (b) The Board directs the County Manager and the Finance Officer to take all appropriate steps toward the completion oft the financing, including () completing an application to thel LGC for its approval oft the proposed financing, and (ii) soliciting one or more proposals from financial institutions to provide the financing. The Board  ratifies all prior actions of County representatives in this regard.  (c) The Board will hold a public hearing on the proposed financing contract. The Board directs the County Manager and the Clerk to this Board to determine an appropriate date for the hearing and to publish notice of the hearing as required by  law.  Icertify as follows: that the foregoing resolution was properly adopted at a meeting of the Board of Commissioners of Macon County, North Carolina; that this meeting was properly called and held on January 12, 2021; thatac quorum was present and acting throughout this meeting; and that this resolution has not been modified or  amended, and remains in full effect as of today.

He then specifically asked if anyone wanted to comment on the proposed funding for (1) the Section 5311 Administrative grant, (2) the Section 5310 Operating grant or (3) the Consolidated Capital grant. No one spoke, and Chairman Tate closed the public hearing at 6:14 p.m. Upon a motion by Commissioner Gillespie, seconded by Commissioner Beale, the board voted unanimously to approve the Public Transportation Program Resolution (FY 2022 Resolution), a copy of which is attached (Attachment and is hereby made a PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: James Morgan shared with the board that he was having "a problem with our neighbor," adding that this unnamed person had threatened bodily harm and that he was 'increasingly worried." Chairman Tate asked Mr. Morgan if he had spoken with the sheriff's office about this, and Mr. Morgan indicated he had. Sheriff Robert Holland responded that a magistrate would not issue a warrant for communicating threats to this individual, leaving his department with "no way of doing anything." Mr. Morgan said this activity had been going on for three days, and he was "scared to be away from the house." Sheriff Holland advised Mr. Morgan to call 911 "if you see him coming toward your property." Ross Dodge and Mitchell Bishop, members of the Macon County Board of Health, asked the board to consider providing overtime pay or granting compensated time for salaried employees at Macon County Public Health due to the number ofhours worked stemming from COVID-19. Based on their calculations, the total amount due to these employees would be approximately $40,000. Mr. Roland explained that providing overtime pay to these employees, who are "exempt" from overtime compensation under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), would require an amendment to the county's personnel policy. This led to further conversation among the board members, Mr. Roland, Mr. Doge and Mr. Bishop. Mr. Roland told the board he had a potential solution to discuss with them later in the meeting. Ed Trask thanked the board members for keeping the Nantahala community in mind with regard to the need for a new ibrary/communty center. He said the current facility is roughly 1,800 square feet in size and that the architect for the county's space needs analysis recommended a 10,000 square foot building as a replacement. He also spoke about the community's needs, particularly "reliable high speed internet" service. Commissioner Higdon said the board is "still trying to do something,"and. noting the county's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), stated that if the board "went down the list, Nantahala would never get a building." He again told Mr. Trask that, "It's a work in progress," and said he would bring the ADDITIONS, ADJUSTMENTS TO AND APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA: Upon ar motion by Commissioner Beale, seconded by Commissioner Shields, the board voted unanimously to approve the agenda, as adjusted, as follows:  part of these minutes.  numerous stakeholders in on the final decision.  Minutes 11.10.20 Page 2 of9    To add consideration of the county's 2021 holiday schedule to the Consent  Agenda as Item 12(E), per Chairman Tate.  UPDATE ON GUN SHOW REQUEST: Emergency Services Director Warren Cabe and Public Health Director Kathy McGaha updated the board on a request by Ron Haven to utilize the county's Robert C. Carpenter Community Building for as gun show in early 2021. Mr. Cabe said that he and Mrs. McGaha had discussed the request in light of the most recent COVID-19 restrictions and found "nothing to prohibit" the show being held. Mr. Cabe did point out that this event is more of a retail process than a show, and would need to abide by Governor Roy Cooper's executive order on building capacity at the time the show is held. Mrs. McGaha suggested that some protocols would need to be in place, such as separate entry and exits, and to encourage the vendors to wear masks. She added that if the show is planned for a couple of months from now, there could be a spike in positive cases, and the show might need to be rescheduled. The board agreed by consensus that Mr. Haven was allowed to use the building as requested and for him to work with Parks and Recreation Director Seth Adams UPDATE ON THE NIKWASI INITIATIVE: Elaine Eisenbraun, the executive director of the Nikwasi Initiative, presented a PowerPoint presentation that provided the board with an update for 2020 on the activities of the initiative. Her presentation began with photographs of the construction of the informational kiosk that was placed near the Indian Mound in Franklin, and was followed by av vision for how the area around the mound could be developed into "A Future Nokwisiyi." This led into details regarding a possible feasibility study, including results from a strategic planning survey. She also outlined a number of other ongoing activities in which the initiative is involved, including a planned Cherokee Heritage Apple Trail, as she noted that the Cherokee were incredible breeders" of new apples and created new varieties. At the end of the presentation, Commissioner Beale asked, "Did I miss the part about the money?" She responded that the initiative had a budget of $180,000, and would like the county as a partner. Following further discussion, no action was taken. FORMATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES COMMITTEE:  to schedule the event.  Jim Gray  recommended to the board that it should establish a permanent volunteer committee to advise the board on issues dealing with the county's natural environment. He said the proposed committee would have three objectives: (1) understand each other as members would represent disparate groups, (2) reach agreements and compromises in advance, and (3) provide expertise and perspective on the natural environment. He said Transylvania County has had something like this for many years. However, he also noted he would not be here to see it come to fruition, as he was moving to Florida. Chairman Tate expressed his thanks to Mr. Gray for his leadership and noted he would miss him, and the  Minutes 11.10.20 Page 3 of9    other board members expressed similar sentiments. Chairman Tate then WOMEN'S HISTORY TRAIL SCULPTURE PROJECT UPDATE: Mary Polanski presented a PowerPoint presentation updating the board on the Women's History Trail (WHT) Project, and more specifically, a WHT public art project called Sowing the Seeds of the Future. She told the board that the WHT group has been able to commission a "nationally renowned figurative sculptor," Westley Wofford of Cashiers, to produce a seven-foot-high bronze sculpture of three women "whose lives and culture intersected in the early days of Macon County." Her presentation took the board through the early stages of the sculpting process. She then explained that the pandemic has impacted fund raising plans and the work schedule of Mr. Wofford. Potential funding from the state in the amount of $50,000 has been put on hold, as well as a private donor fundraising event that was anticipated to generate $25,000. The group is also awaiting a pledged business donation of $25,000 and has submitted applications for grants. She said that a payment of $70,567 is due to Mr. Wofford at the end of November for him to begin work on a full-size model. She said the group is "very confident" of raising the money for the sculpture, which would be placed between the two bridges crossing the Little Tennessee River in Franklin. She read a portion of a letter of support from the Macon County Economic Development Commission in support of a grant from the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area. She then made a formal request for $15,000 in financial assistance from the county, on behalf of the Folk Heritage Association of Macon County. Commissioner Beale stated that the board will have "a full budget in review" in January of 2021, and until such time, Mr. Roland is compiling a list of requests made by organizations outside county government. No action was taken, and a copy of her PowerPoint presentation is attached Attachment and is hereby made a part of these BURN BUILDING AT SOUTHWESTERN COMMUNITY COLLEGE: Dr. Don Tomas, the president of Southwestern Community College (SCC), told the board that SCC and the county are five years into trying to figure out where a new "burn building" for the college will be located. He said that SCC has opted to place the building on a piece of college-owned property located across from the United Parcel Service (UPS) building in the county's industrial park. He said the college needs a revised form known as a "3-1" to change the proposed location oft the structure, and requested the board's consideration of the form, noting that the funding for the project remains the same. Chairman Tate said the county agreed to this project three years ago, and with the county now in possession of the former National Guard Armory, he said it is time to "strike a deal" on a long- term lease ofthe. armory to SCC. Mr. Roland went over some of the cost estimates for the original project, pointing out that the original plan had the new burn building being constructed at the SCC Macon Campus on Siler Road. He  presented Mr. Gray with a county flag and a county pen set.  minutes.  Minutes 11.10.20 Page 4 of9    commented that consideration ofa ai new site creates, in his opinion, a new project, and suggested working alongside SCC officials to "nail down project costs specific to this site." There was further discussion regarding project funding, and Mr. Roland said, "We need to circle the wagons here and look at what is a different project." He said he sees this as an opportunity to work with SCC to develop a new project scope and "an excellent opportunity to move this forward." Chairman Tate expressed that he was "embarrassed" and that the county has been "dragging our feet too long," adding he is ready to go for a long term lease and to "get the ball rolling." Commissioner Gillespie said that he echoed Chairman Tate's thoughts, and liked the idea of a 25-year-lease versus deeding the property to the college. Saying that the county has been working on this project for several years, Commissioner Gillespie said he agreed with Chairman Tate on moving forward and that it was "the right thing to do." Commissioner Beale stated that he totally disagreed, saying that the armory facility was a "$2.9- million gift to Macon County," and that he was totally against a 25-year lease and did not want to "give away a building for 25 years." He later added, "As far as I'm concerned, crunch the numbers before we give away a $2.9-million asset." He said the building could service county departments in the future and encouraged the board members to "think long and hard before making a decision."The discussion then returned to the financing of the project, with Mr. Roland eventually suggesting a postponement in submittal of a new "3-1" form until new cost figures are available. Commissioner Beale recommended thatJack Morgan, the county's Director of Planning, Permitting and Development, be appointed to develop the cost of improvements needed to the armory building. Commissioner Gillespie said that while the county manager has brought up some valid points, he said that he sees an obvious choice to make, and made a motion to enter into negotiations with SCC to enter into a 25-year-lease for the facility. Commissioner Higdon seconded the motion. During further discussion, Commissioner Shields stated he was uncomfortable" with the lease of the armory, and discussed the county's liability and maintenance costs if the building was leased to SCC. Commissioner Beale suggested that the board table the motion on the floor to give the county time to come up with revised cost estimates as suggested by Mr. Roland. Chairman Tate said that perhaps he was "biased," but noted he was a SCC graduate and that many county employees are as well, and said the college is "a tremendous asset to Macon County." He reiterated his desire to move forward on this and to "stop dragging our feet and get the ball rolling." The board then heard comments from Curtis Dowdle, the Dean of Public Safety Training at SCC. Mr. Roland then pointed out that if the board moves forward with the current motion, there are questions that need to be addressed. Specifically, he questioned if the $2.9-million value of the former armory fulfills the county's matching financial requirement on the project. He pointed out that the county will still own the facility and can perform any capital improvements and would oversee the renovation of the former armory. Commissioner Shields raised further questions about the county's recent space  Minutes 11.10.20 Page 50 of9    needs analysis and how the armory facility fit into it. Commissioner Gillespie said the building is "a perfect fit" for SCC, and that for "the purposes of this discussion," he added that the motion he made "is the right thing to do." Commissioner Beale stated he wanted to reiterate for the record that the board should give the county manager the opportunity to look at this and put it on a schedule to discuss in January 2021, and then commented, "If you've got the votes, go for it." The motion passed on a 3-2 vote, with Chairman Tate, Commissioner Gillespie and Commissioner Higdon voting in favor, and LEASE AGREEMENT WITH AG1, LLC: Following a brief explanation from Macon County Economic Development Director Tommy Jenkins, and upon a motion by Commissioner Higdon, seconded by Commissioner Gillespie, the board voted unanimously to approve a "Resolution of the Macon County Board ofCounty Commissioners Declaring Property to be Surplus and Approving a One Year Lease of the Same by Macon County to AG1, LLC." A copy of the resolution and the accompanying lease agreement are attached (Attachments 4 and 5. respectively) and are hereby made a part of these minutes.

A copy of the resolution and the accompanying lease agreement are attached Attachmentsb and respectively) RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING UPSET BID PROCESS: Mr. Roland offered a brief explanation regarding the county's recent attempt to sell some surplus dental equipment, and while the majority of it was sold at auction, he said there was a panoramic x-ray machine that was not bid upon. Since then, he said a local dentist has shown interest in purchasing the machine, and has made a $4,000 offer and has put down a 5 percent deposit. He asked the board to authorize the sale of the machine through the upset bid process, and upon a motion by Commissioner Beale, seconded by Commissioner Shields, the board voted unanimously to approve a Resolution of the Macon County Board of Commissioners Authorizing Upset Bid Process," a copy of which is attached HAZARD: PAY: Mr. Roland remarked on the level ofcommitmentmade by county employees during the coronavirus pandemic.

Minutes 11.10.20 Page 6 of9    recognizing "those on the front lines," which includes employees in emergency management, the sheriff's department, and public health. He said he wanted to personally recognize Public Health Director Kathy McGaha, Emergency Management Director Warren Cabe and Sheriff Robert Holland for what Mr. Roland described as "a first class mitigation effort." He also remarked on the efforts of other county departments and their efforts to continue to provide public services, noting that facilities remained open and the county continued to do business. He also pointed out how staff at the Senior Services center restructured its entire meal delivery system in order to serve their clients during a period of exponential increase in demand," with Macon County Transit staff helping deliver those meals. He noted that Information Technology staff worked to help employees get set up to work from home, while Finance and Human Resources had to manage CARES Act funding and implement and track ederally-mandated leave programs for workers affected by COVID-19, and Board of Elections staff handled a record voter turnout in a general election that went "smoothly and efficiently." While he said he "could go on all day long providing specific examples" of outstanding service," Mr. Roland told the board he has "never been more proud to be a partoft this rpmiaton."Torcogaise this effort, he outlined a plan to provide additional compensation, what he termed as "hazard pay," for both full-time and part-time employees who meet certain criteria. He pointed out that any solution needs to be "equitable and across the organization." He explained that CARES Act funding had been used to supplement approximately $364,000 in payroll costs during the current fiscal year, and those funds would simply roll into the county's fund balance at year end. Ata a costof$328,037, he said full-time employees meeting the criteria would receive a one-time $750 payment, with part-time employees meeting certain criteria to receive a one-time $150 payment. He further noted that he wanted to be clear that CARES Act dollars were not being used to accomplish this, but county funds instead, with a "net zero impact" on the budget. Commissioner Beale questioned if this pay would be "over and above" the annual employee appreciation bonus normally given to employees in November, and Mr. Roland acknowledged that it would be. Commissioner Beale then made a motion to support the county manager's recommendation for hazard pay as presented, and Commissioner Shields seconded the motion. During discussion, Chairman Tate voiced his support for the pay, and Commissioner Beale pointed out that Macon County was one of the few counties in the state that kept all of its departments open, and also noted that the Town of Highlands provided its employees with a similar payment. Commissioner Higdon said he agreed that employees have "gone above and beyond," but said the county hires people "to do a job in good times or bad." Speaking for the private sector, he said there are no guarantees there, and that "a lot (of people) were sent home" and don't have the benefits of public sector work. Lori Carpenter explained in more detail the criteria for the part-time employees to receive the hazard pay, and Commissioner Gillespie said he wanted to "make sure we're fair to those folks." The board then voted 4-1 to  Minutes 11.10.20 Page 7 ofs 9    approve the recommendation as presented, with Commissioner Higdon opposing. The voted was followed by additional discussion but no further action. CONSENT AGENDA: Upon a motion by Commissioner Shields, seconded by Commissioner Higdon, the board voted unanimously to approve the consent agenda as presented, which includes: (A) the minutes of the September 8, 2020 regular meeting and the September 29, 2020 special meeting; (B) budget amendment #103 for the Health Department to allocate an increase of $1,650 in grant funding from Appalachian Mountain Community Health Centers, and #104 for the Health Department to allocate $59,398 in funding for COVID-19 Infection Prevention Support (copies of the amendments are attached); (C) tax releases for the month of October in the amount of $4,314.59; (D) received the monthly ad valorem tax collections report for the month of November, which shows an overall 48.49 percent collection rate as of October 31, 2020, and for which no action was necessary; (E) approved the 2021 county holiday schedule  as requested.

CHANGE IN COUNTY's 2021 NORTH CAROLINA DEVELOPMENT TIER DESIGNATION: Macon County Economic Development Director Tommy Jenkins told the board that the state had released its tier rankings for 2021, and that Macon County was now a "Tier 3" county - meaning it is one of the 20 least distressed counties in North Carolina. Mr. Jenkins explained that 40 counties are designated as Tier 1, with those being the most economically distressed, and another 40 are designated as Tier 2. Macon County was a Tier 2 county and one of11 that "moved up," while 11 others "moved down." He said the tier rankings are based on four factors - average unemployment rate, median household income, percentage growth in population and adjusted property tax base per capita. He said the county improved in three of those areas, adding that this presents something of a double-edged sword." As a county, we compare well statewide, he said, but added that the higher tier ranking could present some challenges to obtaining grant funding. Commission Beale asked if Macon was the smallest Tier 3 county, and Mr. Jenkins said he believed that distinction went to Polk County. Chairman Tate told Mr. Jenkins that Commissioners Shields and Young would be the board's new liaisons to the county's Economic Development Commission. Mr. Young asked if the state did the tier rankings on an annual basis; and Mr. Jenkins replied that it did. No action was taken. SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE REVIEW: Jack Morgan, the director of the county's Planning, Permitting and Development Department, said the county has an excellent' subdivision ordinance, but it "targets new ones." He said that issues arise with older subdivisions that were not recorded, and then when they are, the existing rules must be applied to them. He outlined some of the problems this leads to, and asked the board to authorize the Macon County Planning Board to take a fresh look at the ordinance and figure out a means to address this, including the possibility of making "concessions" for those older subdivisions. Chairman Tate informed Mr. Morgan that Commissioner Young was the board's new liaison to the planning board. No action was taken. LEASE OF NATIONAL GUARD ARMORY: Commissioner Beale initiated the discussion regarding the board's recent vote to lease the former National Guard Armory facility, now owned by the county, to Southwestern Community College (SCC) for a term of 25 years. He cited that action as one of the biggest, most expensive motions this board has made. He asked Mr. Morgan to address the board regarding a cost estimate to make needed improvements to the facility. Mr. Morgan told the board this would essentially be a remodel, not a renovation, noting that there are six bathrooms for men and only one for women, and added that there is no heating system. He said the building needs a new roof and considerable electrical work, and suggested using LED lights that would be more  Minutes 12.08.20 Page 2 of8    cost efficient. The building also needs to be made handicap accessible. Mr. Morgan said the budget for all of the above items and more comes to approximately $1.2-million. Commissioner Beale then asked Mr. Roland about the cost to maintain the building. Mr. Roland responded that the utility cost in the last year was approximately $20,300 annually. He also pointed out that the annual cost of a custodian would be $37,469, along with annual maintenance costs of $19,200. Adding this together would put the "floor" of the county's annual operational cost atjust under $80,000. Commissioner Shields stated his desire to make a motion to delay moving forward with the lease agreement and to delay that decision until July 1, 2021 in order to allow the board more time to review the county's space needs analysis. However, Kim Carpenter told the board that the action taken at the November 10, 2020 regular meeting would need to be rescinded. Commissioner Shields then made a motion to rescind the motion made at the November 10, 2020 meeting to enter into a 25-year lease with SCC for the armory property, and Commissioner Beale seconded the motion. Chairman Tate opened the floor for discussion, and said, "I respectfully disagree on this." He said the armory facility was "a perfect fit" for fire/law enforcement training, adding that he was "good with the cost" and "T'm comfortable with it." Commissioner Young said allowing the building to sit vacant would only add to the expense. Commissioner Higdon asked if the roof could be patched or ifit would need to be replaced. Commissioner Beale said it will cost the county a half million dollars every10 years to take care ofit, adding that the facility is a $2.9-million asset that belongs to the people of the county and is an asset we need to be careful with. Following further discussion, the board voted 3-2 to oppose the motion, with Commissioners Beale and Shields voting in favor and Chairman Tate and Commissioners Higdon and Young AMENDED FISCAL YEAR 2020-21 CONTRACT WITH "NO WRONG DOOR": Mr. Roland explained that the proposed amended contract with "No Wrong Door" was "a matter of housekeeping." He said that "No Wrong Door" is a non-profit corporation providing mental health and substance abuse services to individuals within the county. As to the contractual relationship, he said it represents a partnership between "No Wrong Door," the county and the Town of Franklin. The contract changes will establish a flat monthly fee payment schedule, allow unspent town funds from the previous year to be distributed to "No Wrong Door," and to make the town a party to the agreement. There is no increase in the contribution amounts from either the county or town, he noted. Commissioner Beale said that "business is too good" at "No Wrong Door," and he said the agency has remained open every day during the pandemic. Commissioner Beale made a motion to approve the amended Fiscal Year 2020-21 contract as presented,  opposing.  Commissioner Shields seconded the motion, and all favored.  Minutes 12.08.20 Page 3 of8    BROADBAND COMMITTEE EVALUATION OF RPF RESPONSES: Mr. Roland said that, in response to the county's Request For Proposal (RFP) for the "Macon County High-Speed Internet Access Service Expansion Project," two proposals were received. He went on to explain that the Broadband Committee appointed by the board to review the proposals determined that between Balsam West and Morris Broadband, Balsam West offered the best value, particularly based on the number of potential customers that could be reached. He then reviewed the "Macon County Broadband Committee RFP Evaluation," a copy of which is attached Attachment2) and is hereby made a part of these minutes. That evaluation outlined the differences in the two proposals. Balsam West estimated that 2,600 to 5,500 unserved customers could be offered services during the first seven years of the project, compared to 317 to 550 by Morris Broadband. The overall dollar investment was roughly equal between the two, with Morris Broadband at $1,030,250 compared to $980,000 for Balsam West. However, the committee also reported that, "The Balsam West proposal offers a more technically diverse approach to delivery of broadband utilizing fiber and multiple wireless technologies including non-line of sight which will make deployment, service delivery and collaboration more cost effective." The committee concluded that Balsam West offers the "best value." Following a brief discussion that included Mr. Jenkins, Commissioner Beale suggested that the board authorize Mr. Roland to enter into negotiations with Balsam West to provide high-speed internet access service in the designated portion ofMacon County. The contract document will come back before the board for final approval. Commissioner Beale expressed thanks to Commissioner Shields, who he said has "spent countless hours on this." Mr. Roland told the board that $400,000 is currently budgeted for this project, and an additional $180,000 would need to be moved from the economic development reserve fund, explaining that funding has to be part of the RFP process. Chairman Tate pointed out the need for a separate motion regarding the funding issue. Commissioner Shields made a motion to initiate the contract negotiations with Balsam West, Commissioner Beale seconded the motion, and all favored. Commissioner Beale made a motion for a budget amendment to move $180,000 from the economic development reserve fund to provide a total of $580,000 for the project. Commissioner Shields AMENDMENT TO PICTOMETRY CONTRACT: Mr. Roland started the discussion regarding Amendment No. 1 to the county's pictometry contract with Pictometry International Corp. by reviewing a detailed explanation of the history of the contract and the current need for the amendment. The text of that  seconded the motion, and all favored.  explanation is as follows:  "Macon County entered into a contract with Pictometry International Corporation in December of 2016. The original agreement contained two separate projects to be conducted in Macon County, the first of which was  Minutes 12.08.20 Page 4 of8    completed in January of 2017. Each of the projects in the original contract entailed an aerial flight, producing high quality oblique and orthogonal aerial imagery of Macon County and surrounding county boundaries, as well as a "Change Finder" option. "Change Finder" is a software add-on offered by Pictometry used to detect changes in property improvements, from one Pictometry flight to the next. The original contract amount for the two projects was $195,232.99 (Project 1- $97,571.04, Project 2 $97,661.95). To date, Macon County has paid $65,901.84 to Pictometry, which represents, the cost associated with the aerial flight and imagery produced for Macon County in 2017. Upon receipt of this imagery in 2017, the previous Tax Administrator opted out of the "Change Finder" option, as the majority of the imagery received was at a lower resolution than anticipated, thus the previous Tax Administrator felt the "Change Finder" option would be of little or no benefit to "A subsequent decision was made by the previous Tax Administrator to postpone the flight associated with the second project as well, which was scheduled for January of 2020, due to the lower than anticipated quality of the imagery. Following Ms. Braswell's appointment as Tax Administrator, she and GIS Analyst Wes Hall have worked with Pictometry to amend the flight map for the second project. The amended flight map will produce higher quality aerial imagery than was delivered by the first project, as all sectors of the county will be flown using 3inch (251 sectors) and 6inch (218 sectors) orthogonal frame images, as opposed to the first flight where the majority of the sectors (466) were flown using 9inch orthogonal frame images. While higher resolution imagery will be delivered, it will result in an increase of $50,360.84 to the original contract price for Project 2. At$148,023, Project 2 does not include the "Change Finder" option due to the lower than anticipated image quality produced by Project 1 but will lay the framework for implementation of "As negotiations between the Tax Office and Pictometry were on going during the FY 21'Budget planning process, the cost for the amended Project 2 was not included in the FY 21' Recommended Budget. With negotiations now final and the revaluation approaching, the Tax Office feels it extremely important to conduct the Project 2 flight in January 2021, and has worked with Pictometry to keep Macon County on the 2021 flight schedule. With the project already being delayed one year and the 2022 Pictometry flight schedule full, time is of "While the $148,023 amended project cost is significant, Pictometry brings about efficiency, which directly results in operational cost avoidance of hiring additional appraisers in the Tax Office. In addition, completion of this project will play a vital role in meeting the "Full List and Measure" requirement that the Department of Revenue has recommend to be completed with the upcoming revaluation. Aside from benefitting the Tax Office, the high quality imagery produced by Pictometry will benefit other departments, including Building  Macon County."  "Change Finder" following the next flight."  the essence."  Minutes 12.08.20 Page 5 of8    Inspections, Law Enforcement and Emergency Services. Lastly, this software has resulted in substantial revenue increases to numerous counties across North Carolina following implementation of the "Change Finder" option." "While Pictometry has agreed to hold delivery of the Project 2 imagery until July of 2021, sO it can be incorporated into the FY 22' Budget Process, I would respectfully request for the Board to consider appropriating the $148,022.79 from Fund Balance at this time to ensure the Tax Office has ample time to maximize the full benefit of this software as it pertains to the upcoming  revaluation."  Tax Administrator Abby Braswell presented a PowerPoint presentation, which covered a number of technical details regarding pictometry as well as some of the information that Mr. Roland provided to the board. She noted in particular that the "full list and measure" requirement to assess the county's 43,757 parcels would require the hiring of four additional appraisers. The total cost of those additional appraisers for the time period they would be needed is calculated at $774,480 versus the $148,022 cost of the contract amendment. If the board was willing to move forward with the amendment, she said the county would have new imagery in March and would be billed in April. Following further explanation and discussion, Commissioner Beale made a motion to approve the contract amendment, contingent upon Kim Carpenter's review of the document, and to take the $148,022 from the county's fund balance. Commissioner Shields seconded the motion, and following a question from Commissioner Young and a review of the county's four-year revaluation schedule, the board voted unanimously to approve the motion. CONSENT AGENDA: Upon a motion by Commissioner Beale, seconded by Commissioner Shields, the board voted unanimously to approve the consent agenda as presented, which includes: (A) the minutes of the October 13, 2020 regular meeting; (B) budget amendment #11 for Senior Services to allocate $9,980 for meals; #112 for Emergency Services to allocate $6,092 from an insurance settlement for repairs to an ambulance; #113 for the Sheriff's Department to appropriate a total of $32,500 from donations and calendar sales to be used for Shop with a Cop, Prime for Life, the department's Christmas dinner and new calendars; #114 for a non-departmental budget amendment to carry forward $108,017 in funding for expenses related to COVID-19, and #115 for the Department of Social Services to allocate $81,738 in LIEAP (pandemic) funds (copies of the amendments are attached); (C) tax releases for the month of November in the amount of $1,784.51; (D) received the monthly ad valorem tax collections report for the month of October, which shows an overall 67.02 percent collection rate as of November 30, 2020, and for which no action was necessary. APPOINTMENTS: Community Funding Pool: Chairman Tate tabled action regarding the staggering of terms for the members of the Community Funding  Minutes 12.08.20 Page 6 of8    Pool task force. All of the members were reappointed to one-year terms in November, but new by-laws call for the members to be appointed to staggered terms of one, two and three years. Vaya Health County Commissioner Advisory Board: Following a briefexplanation by Mr. Roland, upon a motion by Commissioner Shields, seconded by Commissioner Young, the board voted unanimously to reappoint Commissioner Beale to serve as the county's representative on the Vaya Health County Commissioner Advisory Board. Economic Development Commission: Upon a: motion by Commissioner Beale, seconded by Commissioner Young, John Woods was appointed to the Macon County Economic Development Commission (EDC) for a term of three years. He CLOSED SESSION: At 7:41 p.m., upon a motion by Commissioner Higdon, seconded by Commissioner Beale, the board voted unanimously to go into closed session for the purpose of preserving the attorney/client privilege under NCGS 143-318.11(a)3) and to discuss the acquisition of real property under NCGS 143-318.11(a)5). At 8:50 p.m., upon amotion by Commissioner Beale, seconded by Commissioner Shields, the board voted unanimously to come out of closed session and return to open session. Kim Carpenter then explained that the county is making an offer to purchase the Brian Bateman property in Nantahala and would need to appropriate $10,000 from the county's fund balance toward that purchase. Upon a motion by Commissioner Higdon, seconded by Commissioner Shields, the board voted unanimously to approve the appropriation. Kim Carpenter also pointed out that $10,000 was not the purchase price of the property. Secondly, Kim Carpenter said that in regard to an offer from an individual to purchase the old county garage property located off the Old Murphy Road in Franklin, the county would need to publish notice of the upset bid process, noting that the property is to be sold "as is" and can continue to be used by the county for a period of time not to exceed one year. Upon a motion by Commissioner Beale, seconded by Commissioner Shields the board voted unanimously to move forward with the upset bid process as stated by the interim county attorney. Chairman Tate pointed out that the county would be interviewing for the county attorney position in the very near future and would be closer to a decision come January 2021. Commissioner Beale made a motion to authorize Mr. Roland and Kim Carpenter to work with the other attorneys involved to work toward an offer to purchase for the county to purchase the sO called "co-op property," and Commissioner Shields seconded the motion. Discussion followed, and the motion was amended to allow Kim Carpenter to assemble the necessary information and documentation to bring back to the board with regard to an offer to purchase, and the board voted unanimously to  replaces Bill Futral on the EDC.  approved the amended motion.
