Comments from the Floor: John Flynt, 8133 Belews Creek Road, said that he has been reading with interest the articles in the Northwest Observer about affordable housing in Northwest Guilford County. As a developer, he would love to see that happen, but obviously there are a lot of reasons that it probably has not happened, such as land and equipment costs. He would love to see the Ordinance Review Committee or Planning Board consider some things, because what most people are using OSRD (Open Space Residential Development) for is to reduce the size of the land and big lots and go into cluster to keep development away from the creeks and things like that. It seems the best and most attractive way for affordable housing is to build some attached condos or twin homes and to allow multi-family cluster development and not restrict development to only single family homes. There are a lot of older people his age who would like to see some condos built in Stokesdale because there has always been a need for that. He would like the Planning Board and Town Council to consider those kind  and the motion was approved.  oft things to help affordable housing.  New Business:  Report from Guilford County Sheriff's Department: Deputy Scott Casey said that from the last meeting until tonight, of all the calls that they answered ten generated reports. Only one oft those wasa Part One crime which was al burglary in a vacant rental property.Some copper piping and an old washing Deputy Casey said that the police cari is back ini the shop getting some warranty work done on the motor Public Hearing: On closing to public use and removing from dedication the following described roadway: BEING that portion of Adano Road from Zuriel Drive, south approximately 495', Oak Ridge Township, Guilford County: Dervin Spell said that this case is a request to close a portion of Adano Road beginning at Zuriel Drive and then south approximately 495 feet to the ending point of Manakel Drive as shown on the final plan of Angels Glen Phase 4, Oak Ridge Township, Guilford County and said Plat recorded in the office of Guilford County Registry. This road closing is necessary and this is a  machine and dryer were stolen.  again.  stipulation for the developer to be able to record Phase 4 of Angels Glen.  Those opposed to the request:  Claude H. Parrish, 1521 Oak Level Church Road, said that he had property on 8122 Adano Road. He had concerns about the way it was put in the Northwest Observer and in the letter he received about where the road was coming out and where it was going to stop. The way he read it made him think the whole road was being closed. As far as he is concerned, it is the owner's property and he should be able to do what he wants with it. The owner pays taxes on it and there is nothing he can do, sO we got what we  got.  Book 13, Page 2621  2    Sam Owens, 8124 Adano Road, said his concern is all of the traffic that will be going up and down the dirt road. Traffic will be coming out of the cul-de-sac and traveling up the road right by their bedroom window. He thinks that is poor planning and should be done better. It does not make sense to come right out by the front of their house. With forty houses, there is a whole lot of traffic on that road already. Right now in the development there are kids all over the place and the speed limit is set at 35 miles per hour through the development which is way too fast. The kids are out late int the evenings and on the weekends and a child could get killed. He is concerned that there is not enough room and the Sandra Owens, 8124 Adano Road, said she is Sam Owens' wife and they live right at the curve. She wants to knowi if another road close to Adano Road will be put in. Her understanding was that there was going to be another road because it would make more sense to have two roads instead of one road for  road will not be able to handle all of the traffic unless something different is done.  all ofthe houses that are going in there. Frank Bruno said that would be the only road. Those in favor of the request:  Chris Rohrer, of Land Solutions at 200 South Regional Road, Greensboro, said he is representing the applicants of this road closure. This is a simple process that the applicants have been working on for six months now. The applicants have been working with DOT (Department of Transportation) and that is why it is taking SO long. Back in June, Council approved the removal of maintenance on this portion of Adano Road and now we are here requesting removal of the right-of-way. He wants to assure everyone that this does not affect any oft the homeowners or the maintenance on the existing Adano Road. This is part of their process int the sub-division and he feels that this is a reasonable request at this time. Deputy Scott Casey said that he is not opposed to someone asking DOT to drop the speed limits to 25 miles per hour because that is not a big issue. Carolyn Joyner said that the residents can request DOT to change the speed limit to 25 miles per hour. DOT will review the request, and if they agree then Council Frank Bruno asked if there were any further comments from the floor, for or against. There were no Mr. Trevorrow said that one of the changes in this Resolution, which is the final iteration of it, is that Council's action tonight, if they take any, provides that it will be a contingent action in that the description that is used for Adano Road needs to coincide with the final plat. The final plat is not yet ready, and until it is ready, it cannot be recorded. They have provided in the Resolution that Council's action tonight will be contingent on, number 1, the approval of the final plat and, number 2, there will be a simultaneous recording on the plat and this Resolution, and this Resolution will not take effect until that final plat is approved and recorded. They also changed the description a little. They did not alter the substance oft the description that willl be in the Notice, but they did clarify it al little bit, sO that when that final plat is recorded, the beginning point for the partial closing of Adano Road will be set forth on that plat and identified by two points at Zuriel Drive and Manakel Drive which will be shown on the final plat Frank Bruno asked ift they had at time frame of when that plat willl be finalized. Chris Rohrer said he  would consider the matter before the change of speed limits could occur. further comments so he closed the public portion oft the meeting.  sO as to identify the length oft that 495 feet that was mentioned int the Notice.  Book 13, Page 2622  3    hopes it will be completed in about a month.  Vicki White-Lawrence said that in Chris Rohrer's presentation, he said the closure of this section of the road would not affect the current residents. Chris Rohrer said correct, when you fill out a petition to remove right-of-ways from maintenance, all affected land owners have to sign it. This application was already filled out and signed by the land owners and Kevan Combs at the time when the residents and structure were going to be affected by this, sO none of the residents on Adano Road will be affected by Sandra Owens wanted to make another comment sO Frank Bruno opened the public portion of the Ms. Owens said that when she spoke to Carolyn Joyner a few weeks ago, she asked when the road would be paved. She also asked about the speed limits being changed to 25 miles per hour and wanted to knowi if the residents that live on Adano Road had to sign a petition for that. Frank Bruno said he was nots sure about the exact procedure for that, but he would find out. Ms. Owens said she wanted to know about the lake at the end of the road and whether or not it was going to stay there or be done away with or drained. Chris Rohrer said the pond would be staying. Ms. Owens asked who would be Frank Bruno said that this did not pertain to what they were discussing today, sO he closed the public Adoption of A Resolution Closing and Removing from Dedication a Portion of Public Road Right-of- Way of Adano Road: Vicki White-Lawrence made a motion to adopt the resolution to close a portion of Adano Road.

Unfinished Business:  Review of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail Conference:  Frank Bruno said that he and Vicki White-  Lawrence went to a conference in Guilford County where they were told that there had been a two or three day event about the Mountains-to-Sea Trail that the County and State are involved in. He and Vicki White-lawrence were the only two public officials there and everyone else there worked for the County or State. The discussion was about how Guilford County is getting involved and what their role in the project is going to be. It is still ongoing and their website is supposed to be launched sometime this month which will include all of the trails that are finished as well as the ones that are proposed. The discussion was with Thomas Mashburn from Guilford County about how the State is going to get involved. Mr. Mashburn said that the Mountains-to-Sea Trail is going to be designated as a State Park. It is a government project that grants have been approved for but are not yet funded. The County and how they will be involved, as well as funding, where the trail is going, helping get rights-of-way, and sO on were all discussed at the conference. He would like to get together a Mountains-to-Sea Trail Committee in order to do research and discuss whether this is something that is right for Stokesdale or not. There is a lot of information available and nothing needs to be decided right now, but this is the next step sO he will look into it further. Guilford County is willing to come out to Stokesdale and give some presentations. The last presentation was more about developing the trails according to state  Book 13, Page 2623  4    guidelines and how it was costing al lot of money. When he went to the Friends of the Mountains-to Sea Trail Conference in September, it was more about putting nature into the trails andi fitting them into the community. The Town needs to get them to come out and give a presentation to the citizens of Stokesdale in order to create awareness and learn what the Mountains-to-Sea Trail is all about. Then it can be decidedi if the Mountains-to-Sea Trail coming through Stokesdale would benefit the Town. He will Bill. Jones wanted to know if the State will pay for the maintenance involved since they are designating the Mountains-to-Sea Trail as a State Park. Frank Bruno said that he has the same question but has not received an answer. He plans to pursue the matter, because ifi it is a State Park it should be funded. He found out that in Hillsboro part of their trail meets the Federal guidelines SO Hillsboro was able to get Federal funds fori it. Hillsboro did use al lot of its own money on the traili in order to reach that point first. The Mountains-to-Sea Trail in Hillsboro is paved and goes through their downtown. In Stokesdale, the trail would be a more natural trail and unpaved, sO maybe Stokesdale would be able to get state funds. Ifanyone has questions about the Mountains-to-Sea Trail, please contact him by phone or email and he Patti Stokes from the Northwest Observer asked how many miles of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail will come through Stokesdale. Frank Bruno said the trail would come from Summerfield cross US 220 and go through Stokesdale about five or six miles and then it could branch out a couple of different ways. One way was through Walnut Cove and another way goes down through Oak Ridge and through Kernersville. There isa Greenway down there now and it is being used as a spur, but in Stokesdale it would be about Matters Pertaining to the Water System including changes to Water User Agreement, Amount of Deposit Required by Renters and Past Due Accounts: Mr. Trevorrow said that item number 9 on the Water User Agreement should state "No pumping equipment shall be connected to the system without Frank Bruno asked about item number 4 where it says "it is unlawful to damage any part of the water system including hydrants and meters". He asked if that pertained to a state statute about it being a misdemeanor or at felony and the cost of it. It states that it is unlawful, SO he wanted to know if the law should be referenced? Mr. Trevorrow said that it is stated in Ordinance Number 54 of the Town. Vicki White-Lawrence said that it seems like it might have more power or authority if those were actually cited or quoted. Frank Bruno agreed and said that apparently telling people it is unlawful did not help, sO he wonders if it could be cited in the Water User Agreement. Mr. Trevorrow said that it probably should state "lt is unlawful under the authority following G5160A-151 and the Town of Stokesdale Carolyn Joyner said that this was a form that they have used for years and years and it has been reviewed in the past. The changes she was asking for tonight is in bold and in italics. Beside the email address near the top of the form it asks for a closing or lease date and she wants to add number 11 to state "Owner and/or Tenant must notify the Town of change of ownershp/occupancy ten days prior to change". Asking for a lease or requiring a copy of the renter's lease agreement might want to be considered. It seems that al lot of times people do not realize that iti is necessary to notify the Town Hall of changes. There have been several instances recently where she has not known that the renters have  continue to inform Council about it over the next several months.  will: see what he can find out.  five or six miles.  written consent from the Town of Stokesdale".  Ordinance Number 54".  Book: 13, Page 2624  5    vacated the property and are no longer there until after two or three months have passed. Vicki White- Lawrence said that it does seem like those changes would make it clearer to the renters that they do Frank Bruno asked if they really need a copy of the lease if you have the closing/lease date on the Water User Agreement. Mr. Trevorrow said that it would be nice to have for the record, if one exists. He asked Carolyn Joyner if she always asks who the landlord is. Carolyn Joyner said that she does know who the landlord is for most of the rental properties. She also asks for the closing date when a propertyi is sold SO when the next property owner comes in there is a smoother transition in that situation. Vicki White- Lawrence asked ift they should request the name of the property owner of a rental property on the form as well. Carolyn Joyner said that if they have a copy of the lease, they would know that. Mr. Trevorrow said that it could say to provide a copy of the existing lease or rental agreement ifi it exists. If not, then make a comment that it was done by oral agreement between the owner and tenant. Frank Bruno suggested making the changes and reviewing the changes before they vote for approval. Carolyn Joyner Frank Bruno asked what the issue was about the amount of deposit required by property owners concerning the Water System Fee Schedule. Carolyn Joyner said that she added "Amount of Deposit Water Workshop and requiring a property owner to pay a deposit. She wants to know if Council would Joe Thacker said there are several past-due water accounts with: small amounts and it is difficult to track down the renters after they leave the rental property. In order to help reduce the number of these past- due accounts, he thought it would be a good idea to increase the deposit amount for the renters. He does not know about property owners and asked Carolyn Joyner if she has ever had a problem with property owners. Carolyn Joyner said she has not. Joe Thacker asked what the current deposit amount was for renters. Carolyn Joyner said it was $125.00.. Joe Thacker said that a lot of the past-due accounts are between $25.00 and $45.00 and he feels if the deposit amount for renters isi increased, it would take care of this problem for the Town instead of having to write them off. Once the renters move out ofa a rental property, the Town does not have the means to track down these people who leave these small Bill. Jones said that he thinks if the deposit for renters was raised to $175.00, renters would be more likelyt to give notice when moving out. After two months there would still be some deposit money left to pay the past-due account. He hates making it harder for people who are renting property, but at the same time, the Town does not have the resources to chase them down. It is not fair to the people who do pay and the water system suffers losses when the water bill is not paid. He asked if there was a problem with the property owners not paying their bills after the property is sold. Carolyn Joyner said there have been very few. On occasion, there may be a month's balance due if she has not been notified that the property has been sold and there is no forwarding address, buti it does not happen as frequently Joe Thacker asked if a $50.00 deposit for property owners would cover that most of the time. Carolyn Joyner said that it probably would. Joe Thacker said he wants to make if fair for everybody. He isa water userand proud ofit, but to be fair he thinks property owners should have to paya deposit as well.  have a responsibility to notify Town Hall.  saids she will make the changes and puti it onr next month's agenda.  required by Property Owners $ consider that.  because there was some discussion about that at a prior  balances.  asi it does with renters.  Book 13, Page 2625  6    Joe Thacker made a motion to raise the deposit for renters from $125.00 to $175.00 and add a $50.00 Carolyn. Joyner said to put a starting date in the motion for that. There are some that are in the process Joe Thacker amended the motion to include the effective date of November 1t. Vicki White-Lawrence Frank Bruno said that the way it is written, you would have to say the amount of deposit required for "new" property owners, because otherwise it would mean all the property owners currently on the water system would owe the $50.00 deposit. He does not want to make the property owners already on Joe Thacker amended his motion to include new property owners with an effective date of November 1, 2014. Vicki White-Lawrence seconded the amended motion. All Council members voted aye and the Frank Bruno said there was one more item pertaining to the water system which is past-due accounts/possible write-offs. A lot of them are small amounts that have been there for a while and the recommendation was to write them off and get them off the books. He asked Carolyn Joyner to explain how she came up with these 28 accounts. Carolyn Joyner said that the majority of the accounts are left overf from way back. She does not have access to the computer records from the previous company that was doing their billing and she is unable to support these remaining small balances to the account owners. A lot of them are from people that have moved and she has no forwarding addresses for them. A few of them were turned over to a collection agency that has had no success with collecting those balances or finding the account owners. Collection efforts can be continued if the account owners are ever found, but she just wants to take these past due accounts off of their Accounts Receivable. Vicki White-Lawrence asked if this was a recommendation made by the Town's auditors. Carolyn Joyner said yes, the Town's auditors had made the recommendation. Bill Jones said that it was determined that most of these past due accounts are from people that have moved away and there is no way of finding them. He is okay with writing them off but wants everyone to understand that the Town is not writing off any that are active accounts or accounts that the Town is actively seeking today. If the account owners live in the Town, have access to water, and agreed to pay the accessibility fee, they have a civic obligation to pay it. Further discussion took place about some of the accounts that involved deceased and bankrupt account owners as well as very small balances that were uncollectable and not worth Vicki White-Lawrence made a motion to remove these 28 doubtful accounts from Accounts Receivable asof October 9t, 2015. Bill. Jones seconded the motion. All Council members voted aye and the motion Carolyn Joyner said that she had five accounts that she suggests should be sent to the collection agency to see ifthere is any success with finding the account owners. All of them were rentersand: she does not have any forwarding addresses for them, sO the collection agency may be able to do some research to find them. The past due amounts on these accounts are not large, but if the accounts are sent to the collection agency now before they get old, the collection agency may have success finding the account  deposit for property owners.  now, sO she would like it made effective as of November1:.  seconded the motion.  the water system retroactively in effect.  motion was approved.  trying to sell to an outside agency for possible collection.  wasa approved.

All Council members voted aye and the motion was approved. Carolyn Joyner said that she had one other item on the water that she did not list on the Agenda. She said that it is time for their annual permit renewal. A letter from the North Carolina Department of Environmental and Natural Resources was received and it is due shortly. She has updated any information that needed to be completed on the actual application.

COMMITTEE AND BOARD REPORTS:  Ordinance Review Committee Report: Frank Bruno said that the last Ordinance Review Committee meeting was on October 16, 2014. Most of the discussion pertained to ordinances for cell towers and it is still ongoing. There is another meeting scheduled for next Thursday on the 16" at 7:00pm at Town Hall. The distance from the water system before being required to hook up to it will be discussed. The meeting is held once a month and the public is welcome to attend. Joe Thacker said that residents do A citizen asked that if they had an item that they wanted addressed at the Ordinance Review Committee meeting, would that be possible? Frank Bruno said that if the citizen could not attend the meeting but had an item that they wanted discussed to email Council and it will be brought up at the meeting for discussion. The Development Ordinance is on the computer in the library and everyone is welcome to review it. Any questions about the ordinances can be emailed to Council at OkesdaeeD/edBEOTE  not have to be a committee member in order to have a discussion.  Departmental and Administrative Report:  Finance Report: September, 2014: Carolyn Joyner said that the General Fund report shows that assets increased by about $45,787.00 over the previous month. Under Checking Account Transactions, Morgan Sand Company was paid $1,754.19 for sand to be placed on the soccer fields, GrowinGreen Inc. was paid $4,690.00 to spread the sand and other things that was done to improve the soccer fields, Guilford County Finance Department was paid $12,500.00 for Planning Fees and $3,040.00 for Animal Control for 3rd Quarter, and Council members were paid stipends for 3rd.

Carolyn Joyner said no, that will be done by a different company. She will check the date on the last inspection because it has been less thana a year since it was correctly installed. An annual test will be done at the proper time. Carolyn Joyner said that int the General Fund Savings Account a Utilities Franchise Tax Distribution was  Inspection was done this week.

All other transactions were routine. Accounts Payable includes an invoice from DENR for $810.001 for the water permit that Council approved earlier during the meeting. Administrative Report - Town Clerk: Carolyn Joyner said that last month Frank Bruno asked about the Town's patrol car SO she checked the budget numbers. With the amount that was set aside this year for the patrol car which was $4,000.00, there is now $23, 500.00 in reserve. Today there is $27,500.00 reserved for the purpose of buying a patrol car. She called and spoke with one of the sheriff's deputies that handles the maintenance on cars and he said that cars are selling for anywhere from $32,000.001 to $34,000.00. As mentioned earlier by Deputy Casey, his car is in the shop now. The engine has already been replaced but further warranty work is being done on it now. The Town's patrol car has 91,000 miles on it now, but patrol cars are not replaced until there is at least 125,000 miles on them. Since there is not enough reserved for a new patrol car yet, the difference will have to be budgeted when a ANNOUNCEMENTS: VickWhite-lawrence read the announcements listed on the agenda.
