Vicki White-Lawrence seconded the motion. All Comments from the Floor: Eileen Thiery, 8101 Meadow Springs Place, said she is aware that the vacancy for the Council seat has not yet been filled. She asked if they had a specific day when they would be making their decision. Mayor Braswell said that the next meeting was scheduled to give people that were interested, who may or may not have applied fort the position, an opportunity to speak and also give Council the opportunity to ask the people questions. Ms. Thiery asked if they might appoint someone prior to that meeting. Mayor Braswell said that was correct. Ms. Thiery said she assumes that they would interview those who submitted applications or could it be anyone they wanted. Mayor Braswell said thati if they go back to when Gary Albert was appointed, he did not have an application submitted and others did. Ms. Thiery said that prior to Mayor Braswell taking office her experience was that it was required to submit an application. She had submitted applications herself for the Planning Board and the Ordinance Review Committee, sO she findsita al little strange that for  wanted to add an Executive: Session for Personnel matters. Council members voted aye and the Agenda was adopted.  Council Members voted aye and the motion was approved.  Book 13, Page 2544  1    something as serious as a Council seat that an application would not be required. She also finds it odd that two people that have been very dedicated to the Town and have submitted applications have not been interviewed. It would be incumbent upon Council to give those people a chance to stand up at the podium and for Council to consider their past contributions to the Town. She is hoping that they just do not come up with someone that pleases just a few people, because she does not feel that that is a very democratic way of handling this. Mayor Braswell said that in. July, they will be given that opportunity because anybody can apply. Ms. Thiery asked why, then, did they say they could choose someone before that date, because that is a contradiction to what they are saying. Bill. Jones said that he was the one that made that suggestion because it is following state law. Ms. Thiery said that if Council feels comfortable and it is within the law, then who is she to dispute that. Bill Jones said that it is just Mark Walker said that he appreciates the opportunity to be here and wants to thank Stokesdale, because of all the precincts in Guilford County, Stokesdale was the highest percentage that they had in this previous primaryand he hopes they can repeat that on. July 15"h. He is running for the United States Congress. He became concerned about the direction of our country and as a Pastor for the last fifteen years and before that a Business and Finance Manager, he felt like it was time to engage in this part of the process. He wants his children to have the same freedoms that his father and grandfathers have experienced. He is a very strong Conservative. He is the only candidate who has been endorsed by any of the sheriffs in the Sixth District and any of the former candidates. He is not a career politician and is taking on more of the establishment people and wants to stay focused and positive about his message. He runs a clean campaign and there are days, sometimes, that he finds real challenging, because he wants to answer back. He wants to make sure that during this process he brings honor to his faith, to God, to his family, andi tot the people of North Carolina int the Sixth District. He likes what hei is seeing out there or he would not consider it and is asking people to consider him as an option. Sometimes he wonders ifi it is still possible to make it to Washington D.C. He is very proud that he has people from all walks of life as part of his team. As a Congressman, his jobi is to be ag good representative to people, even those who disagree with him. He has been blessed to raise over $300,000.00, and is the only candidate who is not taking special interest money. The opposition continues to take tens of thousands of dollars which makes him ask this question: "When you get to Washington D.C., who do you represent? Do you represent the people who have funded you or do you represent the lawmakers and special interests?" We talk about change in Washington but many times we continue to send the same career politicians.  reinforcing thei fact that Council does have that right.  Hei isa asking for everyone's! prayers and votes on. July 15th.  New Business:  Report from Guilford County Sheriff's Department: Deputy Scott Casey said that from the last meeting until today, 18 reports were generated from the calls they answered and one of those was a Part One crime. There was some money stolen out of a purse by a family member. It has been really quite. As far as the car, he was not able to get any information today. He is hoping to have the Mayor Braswell said that the car has a problem and is in the garage. It has 86,400 miles on it. He and Deputy Casey talked about the value oft the car and whether they should sell it right now versus running itbeyond 120,000 miles. Deputy Casey said that County cars are runi to about 125,000 miles before they are replaced. Mayor Braswell said to give the information to Carolyn Joyner who will forward it to  information by the next meeting. The car is in the shop right now.  Council and they will start talking about it at the workshops.  Book 13, Page 2545  2    Public Hearing: Fiscal Year 2014-2015 Budget and Adoption of Budget Ordinance #89: Mayor Braswell said that all of Town Council participated in this Budget and has copies and they have had many Carolyn Joyner said that the Budget was presented last month at the May meeting and it has been available on the Town website. AI Public Hearing was advertised for citizens to comment on the Budget. The total General Fund Budgetis$321,600.0, and the Water Enterprise Fund Budget is $342,000.00. Mayor Braswell said he would open the Public Hearing and take comments regarding the 2014-2015 Frank Bruno said that an increase in Revenue was projected and there is an Undesignated Fund Balance of $3,175.00. There should be more Revenue than expenses. The Water Enterprise Fund which they have been trying to get back in balance for the past few years shows a Fund Balance Transfer of $53,100.00. $30,000.00 of that Fund Balance Transfer are funds for the purchase of a chlorinator. Undesignated Fund Balance is $23,100.00. The number in the current Budget is $59,000.00, sO a large amount was cut out. The goal is to eventually get the number down to zero. He is hoping that in the next few years the number can be reduced so that additional funds will not have to be reserved in order Carolyn Joyner said there is an increase in the water fees that was included in the projected income in  workshops. He asked Carolyn. Joyner to give the report.  Budget.  tob balance the Budget. the Water Enterprise Budget.  Mayor Braswell asked ift there were any other comments.  A citizen asked if there were any plans to expand the connections to the water service to increase distribution, or is Council's plan to leave it like it is and have people connect that are currently on the Mayor Braswell said that there are three new developments going up now including one on Prince Edward Road, one at the golf course, and Angels Glen, and the lines will be extended to all three oft the developments. The goal is to expand and they have another development that is going through the process right now that is located on Eversfield Road. Hel has been speaking tot the Town'sengineer anda a workshop will be held next week to discuss this. The contractors of the three developments are extending the lines, but the one on Eversfield Road would be at the Town's expense. The water system distributes a little over 100,000 gallons a day right now and it needs to grow. The system was designed The citizen said that he understands that they are trying to balance it out with how much the Town spends trying to expand it out and get it to everyone in Stokesdale versus the cost oft trying to expand it out. You get a feel for that and, obviously, it relates to some of the input they have received on the There were no further comments made by the public sO Mayor Braswell closed the Public Hearing. Frank Bruno made a motion to adopt the Budget Ordinance #891 for thei fiscal year 2014-2015.

All Council members voted aye and the 2014-2015 Budget Ordinance was adopted.. Acopy oft the 2014-2015 Budget is hereby incorporated into and made a part of the minutes of US Hwy 158 Committee Report: Steve Bowie, 8217 Messenger Court, said he is the Chairman of the US Highway 158 Committee. Joining him is David Guy, who was elected as Secretary of the US Highway 158 Committee. There were some Committee members present as well. He thanked Mayor Braswell and Council members for appointing this Committee. This is a project that has potential to do a lot of destruction to the Town, and it is something that needed to be looked at SO the Town can come together for the best recommendations. The one thing that everybody agreed with from the beginning wast to do the right thing for Stokesdale. People commented that ifthis project affects them because the road will be going over their land, then sO bei it, because iti is the best thing for Stokesdale. Itt tookal lot Mr. Bowie said that last week he sent the committee report along with some attachments to Council for their review. He explained that NCDOT is planning to widen US Highway 158 to four lanes from Walkertown through Stokesdale to Highway 220. NCDOT is proposing four alternate routes to bypass the Downtown area for numerous reasons. The Downtown is a historical district and widening US Highway 158 would destroy the Downtown area if it follows the current route. Since that was not an option for NCDOT, they had to propose alternate routes to go around the Downtown area. In order for Council and the citizens to see where the alternate routes are, he directed everyone to a map onat table in Council Chambers and proceeded to show everyone where the four alternate routes would go Mr. Bowie said that the purpose of the US Highway 158 Committee is to study the proposed routes, as well as the entire project, and make recommendations to the Town Council for direct input to NCDOT. They met on March 17", May 15th, and May 29t, 2014, and those minutes were taken by David Guy, which are contained in attachments one, two, three, and four. For the last meeting of May 29t", Karen Reynolds, who is the Project Engineer for R-2577, and Ted Walls, who is her supervisor, attended the meeting. They were very personable, very well informed, and they did a great outstanding job Mr. Bowie asked if there were any questions about the meetings or the minutes. There were no Mr. Bowie said that the next issue of the report was about the water line issue. They were asked to find out about the utilities and what liability there would be for the Town regarding the relocàtion of the utilities for this project. The cutoff, according to NCDOT, is with populations of 5,500 or less. With populations of 5,500 or less, NCDOT pays for the relocation of the utilities. If the population is 5,501 or more according to the census, the Town would have to pay for relocating the utilities. Mr. Bowie proceeded to read the email that they received from Karen Reynolds, NCDOT Project Engineer. He then read the following response that was sent by Roger Worthington, NCDOT Utilities Section Engineer: "Please be aware we will use the rules in effect at the time the project goes to construction in  the meeting.  ofcourage for people to make those statements.  through Stokesdale.  answering questions. questions.  determining cost responsibilities".  Mr. Bowie asked if there were any questions about the water line issue.  Book: 13, Page 2547  4    Mr. Trevorrow referenced a paragraph in the NC Department of Transportation Agreement that was entered by Stokesdale and the Department back in March, 2001. He said that it appears to be saying that the Town would uphold the cost of any relocation, but he presumes that based on just an initial look right nowi in the last ten minutes, that does not pick up this Agreement. It is pursuant to NCGS136- Mr. Bowie said that is the way he understands it and that is the reason that Roger Worthington, NCDOT Utilities Section Engineer, put that verbiage in there. It would be at the time when this project takes place and to debate that now is pointless, because this project may not even be built. We are talking about 2025, maybe 2030, and we do not know what the population will be at that particular time. The key point they noted was that it is based on the census which is every ten years. Right now the population is at 5,100, but if this project does not start until 2020, the population will probably be over Mr. Trevorrow said that that is such a speculative process, SO how would you know what you are agreeing to? Mr. Bowie said they are just stating what they were told the laws and the rules are as it stands right now. That is why this is something that youy would want to think about for the future and be aware of what is going on with this project. As they move forward with the debriefing, he thinks we will see that this project may not be built. That is the first thing we need to be concerned about, and if that does not happen, then it is moot, but ifi it does, then sometime int the first part of 2015, we would need to revisit this and talk about the routes and everything else. For right now, they are concerned about Mr. Bowie asked if there were any more questions about the waterline issue. There were no further Mr. Bowie said that the Committee is making two recommendations and they involve letter writing. They found out when Karen Reynolds and Ted Walls attended the last meeting that NCDOT is currently reprioritizing their construction projects and apparently that is going on state-wide. They have a ranking system for the different projects, and DOT is reprioritizing them with an emphasis on the larger major projects that are going on and their construction needs. The Committee was unanimous in their recommendation that their first attempt should be to ask to stop the project. Since Karen Reynolds and Ted Walls came to the meeting and advised the Committee that they were doing the reprioritization, it Mr. Bowie said that in order to have the project stopped, the Committee would like for the Mayor and Council members to send al letter to the Guilford County MPO: and the local Board of Transportation and ask them to use their influence, since they provide input and vote on the ranking, to reduce the importance oft this particular project by making it low enough that the project would be stopped. He said that the amended attachment that he gave Council is the verbiage from the letter that the Committee put together and is subject to change by amending it or changing the wording in it. If Council agrees to do that, he will email a copy of it to Carolyn Joyner in Word format sO that she can easily manipulate it Mr. Bowie said that the Committee's second recommendation would put the project on hold since they would be asking to stop the project first. If they see that stopping it does not work, then they could address the second recommendation at al later time. If the US Highway: 158 widening project must occur  27.1, asi it would exist with this project now, not as ity was backi in 2001.  5,500, and by that time, the laws may change.  stopping the project and that is what they are going to do.  questions.  gives the Committee an avenue to try and stopt the project.  and put it onal letterhead.  Book 13, Page 2548  5    and the bypass around Stokesdale must be built, the Committee'ssecond recommendation would be to send a letter to NCDOT recommending route three, which is the most northern route or route two which is the most southern route. This was done with a lot of trepidation because the Committee did not want to vote to authorize paving over another citizen's house, SO this was very tough for the Committee to come to this conclusion. NCDOT has Citizen Informational Workshops as part of these projects and this is the conclusion that they came up with after receiving input from the citizens of Mr. Bowie said the Committee recommends the first recommendation with the help of Town Council, andi if that does not stop the project, then they would address thes second recommendation.  Stokesdale on this project.  Mr. Bowie asked if there were any further questions.  Acitizen asked when NCDOT will reprioritize their different highway projects. Mr. Bowie said that in September 2014, they hope to eliminate two of the four alternatives during an inter-agency meeting. It isir inter-agency because this is a Federal project and NCDOT is just one member of that committee. There are other Federal agencies involved in state and local, and they all get together in this meeting and figure out which way they are going to go. They are hoping that in September 2014, they will eliminate two of the routes. They will not communicate that to the public sO we will not know what they decide at that time. That will be communicated to the public in February 2015, when they do an Environmental Assessment Completion. In February 2015, we will find which two routes remain. In July 2015, they willl have al Design Public Hearing which is very similar tot the Citizen Informational Workshops that they had, and they will put the maps out with the two remaining routes and present them to the public and publish them. He is sure they will do the presentation at Stokesdale Town Hall and in Walkertown, just like they did last time. At that time, citizens will have another opportunity to look at the new maps and listen to a new presentation sO the citizens willl be more certain as to what NCDOT is planning to do with the routes. The citizens would then give their input to NCDOT at that time. In October 2016, NCDOT will issue a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI), which means that this is their final decision before proceeding to construction. All of these are subject to change as theyl have already Ac citizen asked when NCDOT would be reprioritizing their projects. Mr. Bowie said that it is supposed to be sometime in December 2014, which was communicated by Karen Reynolds to him yesterday. That is why the Committee needs to get their information to NCDOT as soon as possible, because from what he  been changed twice.  understands, they are making that decision as we speak.  Mr. Bowie asked ift there were any further questions. Noi further questions were asked.  Vicki White-lawrence made a motion to go with the Committee's first recommendation and compose letters that go to the NCDOT Staff and to our local Board of Transportation member and ask them to use their influence to reduce the ranking of the widening of this project R-2577. Frank Bruno seconded the Frank Bruno said that he would like to thank the Committee for all the work they have done and he thanked Mr. Bowie for providing Council with updates. They put a lot of work into this and he really appreciates that. He agrees with Mr. Bowie's suggestion that we should get NCDOT to lower their  motion.  ranking of this project.  Book 13, Page 2549  6    Mayor Braswell said that he really likes the Committee's statement that is written as follows: "Further, we should recommend to the Town Council to appeal to the NC Governor, local Senators and Representatives that this project is not required for future traffic, has a major negative impact to our historic Town, and is a waste of State and Federal money. Ultimately, Stokesdale, NCI Highway 68 and NC Highway 158 should remain secondary roads for local traffic, especially with the large amount of boat towing traffic through the area to Belews Lake during boating season. This preserves the Town and follows the long term growth plan set forth by the Town to manage growth and retain the heritage of  the small Townand farming community."  All Council members voted aye and the motion was approved.  Mayor Braswell made a motion to go to an Executive Session due to a personnel matter. Bill Jones  seconded the motion.

Unfinished Business:  Consider Approval of Facility Use Agreements for Park: Mayor Braswell said that this matter was continued from the May meeting when Council reviewed two Facility Use Agreements from Stokesdale Youth Football and Stokesdale Parks and Recreation that had beens submitted for approval. Vicki White-lawrence made a motion to approve both Facility Use Agreements. Frank Bruno seconded the motion and added that the usage fees for the fields and concession stand will be waived.

All Council members voted aye andi the motion was approved.  Generator Maintenance - Consider Service Agreements: Mayor Braswell said that since it has been almost a year now, the Town Hall generator needs servicing. He had asked Jeff Miller of Oak Ridge Electric to submit a bid, which he did, but he needs their detailed report that describes what they are Mayor Braswell made a motion to authorize the Property Committee to review the maintenance procedures received and have them make a decision on which company should service the Town Hall generator. They could hold it until next month until they look at the check sheet. He knows they are  actually going to do for one annual service.  going to change the oil.  Book 13, Page: 2550  7    Carolyn.

Clarke Power Generation charges $605.00 for one annual service and Oak Ridge Electric charges $525.00 for one annual service. He recommends that they need the annual service and the Property Committee Frank Bruno said that if they could get it done this month, they have money in the Budget for this.

The other document is the Town of Stokesdale Internal Controls Separation of Duties Policy where the recommendations have been used to determine how things are done at Town Hall. These are guides and hes suggests that Council review them and set up a workshop in the future sO Council can sit down and go over them. Once they! have something in place, they will turn it over to Mr. Trevorrow for his review. After some discussion, they set up a Separation of Duties Workshop for Friday, June 20th at 2:00pm,  which would include al Water Workshop as well.

Revenues will be increased for General Fund for interest on Investments by $3,000.00, and more Miscellaneous Income int the amount of$ $1,300.00 was collected. There were more Planning cases this year which is reflected in the Planning Fee Income of $46,000.00.

Flushing is going to decrease by $2,000.00 and the Town's Water Purchase will decrease by $34,000.00, which will increase the Undesignated Fund Balance by $23,600.00.

Carolyn Joyner said that on the Revenue side of the Water Enterprise Fund, late fees will bei increased to $13,500.00, tap and connection Fees will be increased to $11,500.00, and water sales will be up by $40,000.00 more than what was budgeted. This will wipe out the Undesignated Fund Balance on the income side, sO there will be excess money and nothing will have to be taken out of savings.
