Mr. Corriher noted the high-traffic areas include Statesville Boulevard, Brenner Avenue, Mooresville  Road, Jake Alexander Boulevard, Julian Road, Main Street and Innes Street.  Mayor Alexander asked if signage that restricts panhandling will be placed in the high- traffic areas. Chief Smith indicated high-traffic areas would be ideal for signage to educate motorists. Mr. Corriher noted that Ordinance restrictions would be placed in the identified high- traffic areas.

Ms. Brindle indicated smart technology would be an option with a City-owned system for the street lights and add-ons.

Audit of thel Financial Statements  We will conduct our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAS), the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General oft the United States of America; the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements. for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) and the State Single Audit Implementation Act. As part of an audit of financial statements in accordance with GAAS and in accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain  professional skepticism throughout the audit. Wealso:  Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Audit of Major Program Compliance  Our audit oft the City ofSalisbury's1 major federal and state award program(s) compliance willl be conducted in accordance with the requirements oft the Single Audit Act, as amended, the Uniform Guidance, and the State Single Audit Implementation Act, and will include tests of accounting records, a determination of major programs in accordance with the Uniform Guidance and the State Single Audit Implementation Act and other procedures we consider necessary to enable us to express such an opinion on major federal and state award program compliance and to render the required reports. We cannot provide assurance that an unmodified opinion on compliance willl be expressed. Circumstances may arisei in which iti is necessary for The Uniform Guidance and the State Single Audit Implementation Act require that we also plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with applicable laws and regulations, thej provisions of contracts and grant agreements applicable to major federal and state award programs, and the applicable compliance requirements occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and express an opinion on the entity's compliance based on the audit. Reasonable assurance is al high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, the Uniform Guidance, and the State Single Audit Implementation Act will always detect material noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance resulting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Noncompliance with the compliance requirements is considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually ori in the aggregate, it would influence thej judgment made by ai reasonable user of the report on compliance about the entity's compliance with the requirements of the federal or state As] part ofa compliance audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

Further, we will be available during the year toc consult with you on financial management and accounting matters ofai routine nature. We want our clients to receive the maximum value for our professional services and to perceive that our fees are reasonable and fair. In working to provide you with such value, we find there are certain circumstances that can cause us to perform work in excess of that contemplated in our fee estimate. Following are some of the more common reasons for potential supplemental billings:  Changing Laws and Regulations  There are many governmental and rule-making boards that regularly add or change their requirements. Although we attempt toj plan our work to anticipate the requirements that will affect our engagement, there are times when this is not possible. We will discuss these situations with you at the earliest possible time  in order to make the necessary adjustments and amendments in our engagement.  Incorrect. Accounting Methods or Errors in Client Records  We base our fee estimates on the expectation that client accounting records are in order sO that our work can! be completed using ours standard testing and accounting procedures. However, should wei findi numerous  Page 8 of10    errors, incomplete records, or the application ofi incorrect accounting methods, we will have to perform additional work to make the corrections and reflect those changes int thei financial statements.  Failure to Prepare for the Engagement  In an effort to minimize your fees, we assign you the responsibility for the preparation of schedules and documents needed for the engagement. We also discuss matters such as availability of your key personnel, deadlines, and work space. Ify your personnel are unable, for whatever reasons, to provide these items as previously agreed upon, it might substantially increase the work we: must do to complete the engagement  within the scheduled time. Starting and. Stopping Our Work  If we must withdraw our staff because of the condition of the client's records, or the failure to provide agreed upon items within the established timeline for the engagement, we will not be able to perform our work in a timely, efficient manner, as established by our engagement plan. This will result in additional  fees, as wei must reschedule our personnel andi incur additional start-up costs.  Assistance with Financial Statement Drafting  Your personnel is responsible for drafting the financial statements and related notes and the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal and State Awards. Upon completion oft the drafted financial statements, we will review them and return them to you with suggested revisions.

Description of Requested Agenda Item: In April 2022, City Council approved an economic incentive grant for the' Trammell Crow Company (ICO.TCCanticpated investing $351 million tol builda a distribuiommamufhaeturing facility on a 96-acre site near Henderson Grove Church Road. The economic incentive grant was equivalent to 90% oft the new: real property taxes paid over a period oft three years. The value oft the grant was $680,022, all of which would come out oftax revenue paid by TCC once the project is complete. The total net revenue to the City over a 10-year period was anticipated to be $1,838,578. Due to various factors, including the discovery of wetlands that required the project to be redesigned- the project has been delayed. The anticipated investment remains the same. TCC is continuing to work on the project but does not expect to meet the original deadline. The original deadline in the incentive contract required that the improvements be completed by January 1, 2025. TCC has requested a one-year extension, until January 1, 2026.

The applicant is requesting to rezone one split-zoned property along Lincolnton Road from GR-6 (General Residential) and NMX (Neighborhood Mixed Use) to NMX (Neighborhood Mixed  Staff] Presentation  Victoria Bailiffp presented the request to the Board and noted that NMX is one of the associated districts for the Multi-Family Community place type, however, the possible uses for this property do not fit in with the Multi-Family Community description. The parcel is very small and has two public utility lines running through the property; the lines and associated easements would prohibit any structures from being built on this property. The only uses that do not require a structure and are permitted inl NMX, would bel Recreation Facilities, Outdoor and Parking lot as aj primary use. This parcel is not suited for Outdoor Recreation facilities, leaving only Parking lot as aj primary use. Therefore, staff! has found the proposal is not consistent with Forward 2024  policies 5.5.3 and 4.6.1.  Ms. Bailiff responded to questions from the board:    She does not know how the property became split-zoned, or why iti is such an odd shape.

Deliberation  Staff found the request to be inconsistent, and is unsure ifaj parking lot is possible due to landscape and size requirements. Members were concerned about the long-range issues when Livingstone begins their new development. They also questioned whether or not it would be  classified as "spot-zoning." Consistency Statement  PJ Ricks made a motion: "The City of Salisbury Planning Board finds that the map amendment requested in petition Z-03-2023 is NOT consistent with the goals and policies of the adopted  Forward 2040 Comprehensive Plan."  Dennis Rogers seconded the motion. All members present voted AYE.
