He said the town has borrowed some $4.6-million to finance the effort. He also noted the system will have customers outside the town limits. Mayor Taylor then invited the county to be a participant in the project and suggested an annual commitment of $250,000 annually over the next four years to help "move this out into the county."

He said the department's proposal to the county is to continue to provide two- person coverage 24 hours per day, as implemented in July 2017. He also asked to allow the department to follow along with its 10-year strategic plan, which outlines acquisition of a substation to provide services to areas of the county which currently have a 9/10 insurance class rating. Areas that could benefit, according to Chief Breedlove, include Holly Springs, Corbin Cove, Piney Grove, Butterfly Subdivision, Sanderstown and Onion Mountain. He said the addition of a substation would allow these areas to have a Class 6 rating, the best rating attainable for those areas, which would save the average homeowner about $300 annually on homeowners insurance.

He said the department is also looking to hire its first paid fireman. Mr. Waldroop then answered questions from the board. Following his presentation, Emergency Services Director Warren Cabe recommended that the board not take any action on either Franklin's or Mountain Valley's proposal at this time.

To summarize the propane program, she explained that in the last four years, the county has invested $47,432 to convert its vehicles to this system, including a fueling station at $28,820. However, the savings of using propane versus gasoline, combined with a federal alternative fuel credit, has resulted in a $53,761 savings to the county. Therefore, the fueling station cost plus the cost of all conversion systems was paid for in less than three years, leaving the department at $6,329 above the cost, with anticipated savings in the future. As for the advertising program approved by the board in late 2018, she said there are now 16 businesses with ad space on Transit vehicles. That has generated $22,782 in revenue, versus production cost of only $3,348, resulting in a net profit of $19,434. No action was necessary. EMS WEEK PROCLAMATION: Emergency Medical Services Coordinator Todd Doster asked the board to proclaim the week of May 19-25, 2019 as Emergency Medical Services Week.

Current status of Center Improvement projects: The FY2018-19 Budget included $300,000.00 for Convenience Center Capital Improvements. These funds were to renovate the Carson and Junaluska Convenience Centers. The waste compactors and recycling containers for the Centers arrived approximately two weeks ago; six weeks after their anticipated delivery date. To wit, there was not time to contract and complete construction at the Centers after their arrival. More importantly, there are additional factors Junaluska: Ihave asked Duke Energy for approval to make the desired changes to the leased site. Namely, Ia am seeking to add an additional exit gate at the rear oft the Center. This would create one-way travel through the Center; opening it up to allow safer movement through and usage ofthe Center. Iam currently awaiting a response for approval ofa a design layout that I forwarded to Duke via Lisa Leatherman Carson: Iseeking a location for a temporary Center in the Cartoogechaye area during construction of the Carson Center, we became aware oft the potential to permanently relocate the Center to al larger location that would provide direct access off of Hwy. 64, and more capacity to queue vehicles both inside the Center and along an access road. This would alleviate the frequent hazard of cars stopping along the Old Murphy Road as they wait in line to drop off their waste and recyclables. Itis my hope that Ihave had discussions regarding this potential relocation with the County Manager, and we are close to a decision on the best course of action to proceed with renoyations/elocation of the Carson Center by the next Commissioners 604720-569502 - Landfill Capital Equipment: Transfer amount: $222,863.31. The FY2018-19 Budget included the purchase of a track-loader for the landfill. The loader has been delivered to the local dealeri in Asheville where the landfill guard package is being installed.
