Robinson seconded the motion and the motion passed unanimously. Comm. Martin commented that he would like to amend and add the fireworks discussion to the agenda. Mayor Rains stated that he can discussiti in his comments and Comm.

Martin made a motion to amend the agenda and add fireworks discussion. Comm. Robinson seconded Mayor Rains asked if there is a motion to adopt the consent agenda which includes the minutes from the October 2, 2023 meeting and minutes from the closed session. Comm. Robinson made a motion to adopt the consent agenda and Comm. Holmes seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Mayor Rains commented on the history of the Towns board meetings and how they were broadcast through the news. Rains stated that during that era it was a great way of getting information out and that for tonight's meeting we have a great attendance so a lot of people will know what occurred during the meeting. Rains made the audience aware that we do broadcast our meetings on al live stream if anyone was ever unavailable to attend. Rains added that himself and the board work really hard to look out for the citizens of the town. Mayor Pro Tem Rose commented that he would just like to congratulate the entire community on the event that was held last Tuesday night for Halloween, The Country Fair that was sponsored by Princeton Church of God. Rose stated that even though the weather was not the best he believed there was a great turn out and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Mayor Rains Mayor Rains asked if there was any persons to be heard. Sherri Gaster stated that she is a teacher, a parent and a Princeton resident and her husband is the head football coach of the team, she and other parents of the team find it very frustrating how the fireworks have been handled. Sherri said that not once int the past several years have there been any issues with having fireworks. Sherri said that to her knowledge this is the first time the town has put any ordinance in place regarding the fireworks, and it feels like al kick in the gut for the town to try and hinder that. Mayor Rains commented that he has been a member of the booster club for the last 40 years and that nothing could be further from the truth that they support the school. Brandi Smith spoke, she introduced herself and said that her and her family have been here for 6 years. She feels like this certain topic of the fireworks was not discussed to its fullest extent. Brandi said that she understands that there were some complaints but she does think the people that are pro-fireworks were questioned or asked their opinion or even given a voice in that  the motion, and the motion passed unanimously.  asks ifany other commissioner would like to speak, no one spoke at this time.    situation. Brandi said that she has tried to do her research on when and how this ordinance was made. She said that the school is asking for less than 2 minutes of fireworks on scheduled Friday's for maybe 5 weeks. She feels like her and everyone else'st time should not be spent arguing about having fireworks at the school when it has happened the whole time and it was never a problem. Comm. Holmes commented that he has children who have grown up playing sports in Princeton and that there is nobody out here that wants to hear thet fireworks any more than he does. Comm. Holmes stated hei is on one of the firetrucks out there at the game blowing horns and sirens, he wants them to celebrate but the ordinance that the town has put ini is no different than the counties ordinance we. just put a policyi in place to protect the town in case somebody ever decided they wanted to sue orifanyone were to ever get hurt or there was any damage. Comm. Holmes said that with the ordinance that wel have the school has applied and that they have been approved through the town and the town has never denied them. Comm. Holmes stated that the problem that they have nowi is that the property owner now has to sign off on the county and the town permits and the owner will not do that. Brandi asked who exactly wrote this ordinance and when did this policy come into effect. Comm. Holmes responded hel believes this came into effect about 3 months ago and it is basically a mirrored image of the county's policy and the states policy. Brandi questioned why all of a sudden this is a conversation when iny years past it was never an issue, Comm. Holmes said because the school never did the proper paperwork in the past until now. TAI King commented that last year this topic was brought up do to multiple complaints about the fireworks and any complaint that is received, valid or not the town has to investigate. TAI King said that this was a valid complaint and the town was asked by the citizens complaining to come up with an ordinance so that's what they did andi it was presented to the planning board and passed then it was presented to the board of commissioners and at that time it was tabled to come up with addition information and definitions. Once the definitions were added it was presented to the board again and passed 3-1. King stated the head coach and principal were both invited toj join both oft those meetings. King added that we do not have to notify anyone any ordinance change or any ordinance that is adopted that involves land use in the state of North Carolina. TAI King explained the North Carolina statue 160d 102 that states the property owner has to sign off on the permit dealing with that land use and therefore int this situation the current property owner will not sign it and will not assume liability of fireworks. TAI King commented again that the town has approved and signed off on the permit that was submitted for the fireworks and the property owner which in this case is the. Johnston County Public Schools will not sign now that they have the documentation and they are assuming liability. TAI King said the town put this in to place to protect not only the town but citizens as well. This was put into place for the whole town and notj just one entity but int this case he does apologize that it has effected the school buti it was something that needed to be done to protect everyone. Brandi commented that respectfully she disagrees with the decision that was made. Mayor Rains asked if anyone else would like to speak or ifany of the commissioners would like to comment. Kevin Narron from. J&N Developers said that he would like to discuss the comments dealing with social media/Facebook. Kevin mentioned that as everyone knows. J&N is in negotiation with the town on the waste water treatment plant land purchase that has held conversation in closed sessions that are: sO private he doesn'teven know some oft the information that was shared on a Facebook page about the purchase. Kevin mentioned that he has only spoken to TAI King, Comm. Holmes and Mayor Pro Tem Rose about the negotiation and on a Facebook post he has seen they are posting what the actual negotiation is and stuff that he doesn't even know about and for him that means that some of the towns elected officials has been out telling that information. Kevin stated that with this information being leaked hel believesi it is due to the election    between Mayor Rains and Stacy. Johnson with J&N who is also running for mayor and he would like to know what is going on and asked Mayor Rains for an explanation. Mayor Rains commented that he has not put anything on Facebook: and Comm. Martin asked for further detail because he said he is in the dark about social media and would like to know whati it said. Carol. Johnson with. J&N provided the information and read aloud what the Facebook post said. Mayor Rains commented that this is at town board meeting and not a political discussion and that he has not had any discussion or conversation dealing with the topic of the negotiation. Rains stated that because this is getting political he is going to rule him out order and said that Kevin needed to sit down. Mayor Pro Tem Rose commented that he hopes who ever does win Tuesday they are alla able to work together. Kevin said that they have been trying to get it together and they do plan on meeting with TAI King Monday afternoon to present what Mayor Rains called Hope Dougherty forward from the library. Hope said they are excited that so many people are in attendance for the meeting because they do want to share and give an update on the library from the last two months but the main reason they are here is to present the Golden Key award to the librarian, Aimiee Louvierre. Mayor Rains presented the award to Aimiee and pictures are taken Next on the agenda is the TRC on Call Service Contract agreement review. Mayor Rains called on Marla Ashworth, Marla stated that she is only there if anyone has any questions and that this is the same exact contract from last year that one has just expired and it is needing to be renewed. Comm. Robinson asked if there was any price increase from the last agreement or any other changes, Marla responded to let them all know that the only change is some of the hourly rates but other than that everything has stayed the same. Comm. Martin made a motion to adopt the new TRC on Call Service Contract agreement and Comm. Robinson seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. TAI King presented the resolution for the Cyber-Security by the NCLM. TA King said that they have reached out to the town to assist with potential cyber security at no charge. TA King stated that ift the town decides to do this we can always decide if we want to add additional services but this is justa a memo of agreement that the town will partner with the NCLM and accept their free cyber security training and services. Comm. Robinson made a motion to approve this cyber security resolution and Mayor Rains mentions to TAI King that he did not have a report included in the packet but asked if he any comments or announcements, TAI King. just wanted to give everyone a reminder that Town Hall will be closed Friday November: 11th for Veterans days and he wanted to thank everyone for their current, Last on the agenda is the Community Building discussion. TA King presented the current funds that the town has available for the new building, King said that currently the town has $968,000 and breaks down where those funds have come from. Included in the packet TAI King has a comparison of two estimated cost the town has received from Dunn & Dalton as of October 14, 2022 which is a total of $2,867,400 and also from Stephenson's General Contractors as of October 11, 2023 estimate of $1,369,800. TAI King reminded the board that these estimates from Dunn and Dalton does not include the asphalt parking lot, curbing or sidewalks and from Stephenson's it does not include the asphalt parking lot, sidewalks, splash pad, covered breezeway or amphitheater. TAI King also includeda breakdown of loans over the years if we were to take one out with the USDA. Comm. Holmes stated that  they have come up with.  during this time.  Comm. Martin seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously-  previous ort future service.    his problem with this is that every conversation the board has had about thisi is they always talk about revenue and at this time what the building willl bring ini is zero and that is still if the town does not take out al loan. Holmes said that he is not up for that, he believes that at this point they should look at what they have already as far as funds and looki into renovating. Comm. Robinson commented that since they first started talking about this building it has almost doubled in price and the project idea just keeps growing from what they were looking at initially and as the finance commissioner looking at this project he thinks this could be a situation that would or could end up bankrupting the town or putting the town inal bad situation. Comm. Robinson said that he agrees with Comm. Holmes and he does believe that this is something they need to put on hold and look at when the funds that are already provided. Mayor Rains commented that there is an application that has not been submitted to the USDA yet but with that and other things there would be a revenue stream like the library and etc. Comm. Martin says that as far as applying for additional funds hel believes the town should continue doing sO and it hurts nothing to do that. Mayor Pro Tem Rose commented that he thinks that everyone is saying the same thing as faras not wanting to put the town in any kind of debt but he does not feel like they are able to make a decision tonight, Rose said he would like to see maybe at the next meeting or two they come back to the subject and then make a decision of a time frame on how to move forward. Mayor Rains said they have already gotten an idea for a remodel ai few years back but the building still looked like "putting lipstick on a pig" and Comm. Holmes commented that he thinks he should do it again and see what it is like now. Comm. Robinson commented again that he thinks with all of the towns other projects going on this isr not a priority to put this much money into. The board agreed to table the conversation now and give it 6months to find other resources to be able to move forward, Comm. Robinson made the motion and Comm. Martin commented that he understand this was not planned or apart of the agenda but he would like to make a motion to go into a closed session to discuss the statement that was made by Kevin Narron with. J&N Developers about the leaked information from the previous closed sessions regarding the land purchase. Comm. Martin made the motion to go into closed session at 8:35 pm. Comm. Holmes Comm. Robinson made a motion to end the closed session at 8:55 pm. Comm. Martin seconded the Mayor Rains stated we are back in open session after discussing the land purchase for the WWTP expansion. Comm. Martin replied to verify that is not what was discussed, we discussed the leaked information that you were on Facebook with someone else talking about the information from a closed session we had at the last meeting. Mayor Rains corrected the statement and added we are back in open session to talk about a social media post. Comm. Martin reiterated what was actually discussed. It was consensus oft the board that TAI Kingi is to talk with Brandon Holland to find out his source of information and to talk with the town attorney to see if there is any legal violations that need to be  Mayor Pro Tem Rose seconded the motion.

Mayor Rains said there are many factors to consider when making a change to our fee structure. Mr. Clayton with TRC Engineering stated there are sO many factors, and obstacles; the land has to be purchased before you can begin the process of designing and estimating the cost for a plant expansion.

After reviewing the charts, Mr. Thompson stated these fees would only affect new construction, and recommended the board consider water GPD (Gallons Per Day) and sewer GPD be standardized amount. Mr. Thompson stated that Fee in Lieu which was adopted this last budget year terminology needs to be reviewed because of how it is written, it states "per parcel" and if a builder puts multi-family units on the parcel we are losing out.
