Lee County will receive $4.2 million in settlement funds over eighteen years. The County has received two payments sO far but has not allocated or distributed funds yet. The Board of Commissioners will determine how to spend the opioid settlement funds. A subcommittee of Project Lazarus will consider community needs and make recommendations to the Board. County Manager Dr. Crumpton said some counties have already contracted with third party providers and/ he expects FirstHealth to make a proposal to Lee County. Another settlement was made for $600 million and we willi receive a portion oft that. Dr. Crumpton suggested that we might have enough money to hire someone to guide us. He noted that the County does have a willing partner in Moore County to do some kind of collaboration with both counties' funds. Ms. Parrish said the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners does have staff to help with planning. Some of the City of Sanford appointees on Project Lazarus are also on the City's opioid taskforce. Dr. Crumpton hopes some of the Medicaid expansion money could be used for this project as well. Roxanne Elliot from FirstHealth arrived at 9:45 a.m. to discuss Sandhills Opioid Response Consortium's current work, including referral cards, harm reduction kits, Narcan kits, safe syringe programs and the provision of peer support specialists in our area. They currently have funding for treatment. referrals which will end in. June. She has resources for school programs to address drug use and training for law enforcement for Narcan use. They also have a Rapid Response Team that can respond within 24 hours.

AND PAY STUDY- -9 9:00AM Classification and Pay Study  Human Resources Director. Joyce McGehee introduced David Hill, the pay study consultant. Mr. Hill said that he's been here the past two days meeting with directors to collect as much information about each position that make up Lee County Government as possible. Mr. Hill and his group take that information and compare itt to similar positions in other local governments. He said Ms. McGehee will send out a 12-page document to each employee with specific questions about their job today. Mr. Hil's firm uses the Fair Labor Standards Acta and Americans with Disabilities Act to help make the best comparisons possible within the state. Mr. Hill hopes to bring the Board his recommendations. soon so the Board may incorporate them into the budget. Mr. Hill said more than 90% of Lee County employees will not move to other local governments outside ofa 30-mile radius sO Lee County's immediate competitors are the closest local governments. Mr. Hill said his firm looks at the geographic average salary for each position, then consider the median. There was discussion about employees and supervisors signing the survey. The surveys then go back to Ms. McGehee and Mr. Hill to make recommendations. County Manager Dr. Crumpton said the County has already surveyed employees about their work environment and the organization. The pay study is asking generic questions about an employee's position. Dr. Crumpton noted that the department heads want this study done because there are issues that the market has created that we' 've been slow to address. We have a turnover problem, but we have to be equitable across all departments. The County manager and the Human Resources department will ultimately determine employee classification and pay level. Dr. Crumpton said this may be the most important study we've done yet because of the market right now. Mr. Hill said the study should be completed by the end of February or the beginning ofA March. He also noted that the directors he's talked to have been advocates for their Sheriff Brian Estes requested to appear before the Board to discuss pay in the Sheriff's Office. The Basic Law Enforcement Training (BLET) course is offered at Central Carolina Community College. Ini the last BLET course, 21/24 recent participants had a job already lined up. He noted that some offices will pay more for additional education and provide an incentive for deputies to continue their education. Lee County does lose officers to other departments mainly due to salary. Sheriff Estes would like to increase the bailiffs' salaries to what regular deputies are making because they do the same work. A lotof counties. are having a hard time hiring jailers and have raised their pay to similar to what a regular deputy makes. County Manager Dr. Crumpton said that the sheriff's office is part oft the current pay study and that there are similar issues in the Department of Social Services and Health Department because ofrankings. The pay study will consider rankings and pay. Sheriff Estes said he would be interested in looking at a shift premium fort the night shifts especially for) jaile employees. Sheriff Estes requested that the Board hire a consultant to assess the current conditions of the jailt to see ifit can be renovated  employees.  Sheriff to Address the Board Regarding Pay    or replaced. Jails were designed for short-term stays, which are around 30 days; however, we have had residents fory years waiting for trial. Thej jail has a 124-person maximum and remains over capacity. The jail sometimes sends inmates for housing at other facilities, but it costs $40.00 per day per inmate. When inmates have mental health issues, they are also housed at other facilities at a daily cost. The Sheriff is concerned that the camera systems are out of date and that general maintenance work is needed. Dr. Crumpton said there is the potential to add 35 cells in the existing. jail. Mr. Reives made a motion to make RFQs to examine the jail and its needs. The motion was passed  with no opposition. Mover: Robert Reives Lovick, Taylor Vorbeck Motion Result: Passed  Motion: Motion to put out an RFQ for aj jail assessment.  For: 7- Dr. Andre Knecht, Robert Reives, Cameron Sharpe, Kirk Smith, Bill Carver,  Mark  Sheriff Estes requested the addition of 2 deputies to the Animal control unit because the Unit receives 160 calls in 25 days about animals. 60% oft the calls are in the City limits. Many oft the calls occur at night. Commissioner Smith asked if we have modified our agreements for the City to address overages. Commissioner Taylor Vorbeck asked if there are any suggestions for addressing this issue. Sheriff Estes said they need to hire two more animal control deputies so there can be multiple on a shift and they could act as a regular deputy when not taking animal calls. The City, County and Town of Broadway all follow the same animal ordinance. Commissioner. Andre Knecht asked ifv we need to look at increasing fees andi fines for animal charges. The Sheriff said most people don't  pay the fees, and the only way to recover is to go to court.  BREAK-10:00AM  CONSOLIDATION OF HUMAN SERVICES PRESENTATION-1 10:15AM  Consolidation of Human Services  Chairman Smith called for ai ten-minute break at 10:20a.m. Open Session resumed at Kristi Nickodem, assistant, professor of public law and government at University of North Carolina School of Government, presented to the Board information about establishing a Consolidated Health and Human Services Board. A copy of the presentation is attached and incorporated into these minutes. The model recommended would have the Commissioners oversee a Consolidated Human Services Board that oversees the Health Department and the Department of Social Services. Ms. Nickodem said most counties have opted to move to a model outside oft the State Human Resources Act. Ms. Nickodem recommended communication with employees concerning any changes this may cause in certain positions. A nominating committee will be established to make nominations for the new Consolidated Human Services Board. The Board of Commissioners willa appoint the new Consolidated Human Services Board from these recommendations and statutory requirements regarding specific needed requirements/ob, positions for the Board must be followed. The Consolidated Health and  10:34a.m.    Human Services director takes on all responsibilities of the Health Director and Social Services Director, but may delegate responsibilities to those directors, preferably in writing. The Director's position can be a third person or aj joint position. One issue to consider is that Administration, Finance and! Human Resources will be responsible for more employees if consolidation occurs. Dr. Crumpton said a consolidated HHS agency will be easier for employees because they will nowi follow the county's policies instead of the State Human Resource Act. He said it will be easier toi follow just one County policy rather than multiple. Chairman Smith asked ift the County would do this prior to the budget process. Dr. Crumpton said yes, because then the Board could make it effective July 1, 2023, with the new budget. He believes it would work for the advantage of everyone. The personnel policy should be changed andi in place before the consolidation steps are voted on by the Board. Ms. Parrish said that we can present information about the Consolidated Health and Human Services Board to the Board of Health and DSS Board to provide information and to for feedback. Dr. Crumpton said the Board would just need to instruct staff to go through the process andi report back to the Board with a  more solidified proposal for consideration.

He said he hopes to connect the vision of the land use plan with the tools we use to get there (UDO). UDO Phase 1 mainly affects the city and high-density areas. UDO Phase 2 concerns multifamily andi non-residential. areas. Mr. Downey noted thata annexation does affect the UDO and land use plan and that it would be better ifall three entities (Lee County, City of Sanford and Town of Broadway) work together and agree on what's best for all areas. PlanSanLee is only six years old, but staff is updating itto consider future growth. Mr. Downey said the plan is just a vision, but zoning is what dictates developments. He recommended urban boundaries be agreed upon by the City, Chairman Smith turned the gavel over to Vice-Chairman.

Broadway is asking the Board for $40,000 for the dam study and a $140,000 match for water and sewer ift they receive grant funding. The Town received $400,000in/ ARPI funds but is asking the County for assistance with both items and we would use our ARP funds for it. Dr. Crumpton said that because ofay preliminary report, there are issues getting an increase discharge permit to the current discharge area. He said it would be tying into the City of Sanford's wastewater system. They are open to extending Town limits andi we could be part oft that study. Broadway is trying to get the grant money to fix the dam, but they are in the planning phase before they can apply. NCDEQ has tos sign off on it. Dr. Crumpton believes itll probably cost $1.4 million and  said that we're providing $140,000oft the $400,000 for the planning. Vice-Chairman.

The County currently has two analog systems, andi fire and the County operate on each. Mr. Britt said we don't have common communication with this system but do currently have some VIPER radios in existence in each department. He would like this for better communication. The County's current system has been in place since the early 2000s and has been running on backup systems. VIPER is the recommendation because it's managed by the state. VIPER would then be responsible for the radios and towers, and the County is responsible with the current system. The Motorola representative noted that ift the fiber gets cut, there will be backup radios in place. Mr. Britt said that if our system goes down, we could go to another county and operate through their system. However, ift the City of Sanford doesn't switch over to the VIPER system, the County would have to create its own 911 dispatch. We currently house the backup 911 dispatch for the City. Calls that come to the County within the City limits would be transferred back over to the City, as there wouldn't be any way to communicate between the two (being on different systems). County Manager Dr. John    Crumpton doesn't want to create redundancy in 911 with the City. The radios that the volunteer fire departments have are going to be out of date. They are currently Motion: Motion to table the Proposed Public Safety Radio System (VIPER) so For: 5-Dr. Andre Knecht, Robert Reives, Bill Carver, Mark Lovick, Taylor Vorbeck  purchasing a combination of Viking and Motorola radios. the Board can discuss this with the City of Sanford.  Mover: Robert Reives Motion Result: Passed Lee County Jail  Absent: 2- Cameron Sharpe, Kirk Smith  Sheriff Brian Estes discussed the jail concerns earlier in the meeting.  Endor Iron Furnace Property  County Manager Dr. John Crumpton said the state is not interested in selling the Endor Iron Furnace property but is interested in leasing it to us. Staffi is putting a plan together fort the site to include historical preservation, hiking trails and disc golf. There is still a long way to go before the County can sign any agreements. Dr. Crumpton said the lease would be for $ 1/year for 99 years. The state and County and downtown Railroad Museum are interested in putting the furnace back up. Dr. Crumpton said that we would need to discuss further on how to resurrect and pay for it. GIS Strategic Services Director Don Kovasckitz has been involved with this since 2010 and has worked with Wake Forest University to identify structures andi findings for a study. Dr. Crumpton said this would help the City of Sanford because it basically encompasses the wastewater treatment plant. The challenge is how much property can be to create parking. Mr. Kovasckitz and Parks and Recreation Director. Joseph Keel are now the leads on this project.  Staff Discussion of Other CIP Items  County Manager Dr. John Crumpton gave updates on the County's Capital Improvement Plan items. He said the multi-sports complex is on a 60-day delay because of permitting, NCDOTaccess to 42, and water and sewer. Dr. Crumpton noted it's important that we have permits in place because it'll decrease the risk to the bidders. He said we were expecting four bidders and nine came in. He hopes to be out to bid in May, award in June and start construction in. July. In regards to schools, Dr. Crumpton noted that the new Board of Education members are concerned about the projected growth numbers, and potential needi for a new school. The Board of Education needs to select a site and request funding from the Commissioners because situs and a time frame are priorities. Dr. Crumpton also said the schools could absorb al little capacity currently, as the addition of W.B. Wicker Elementary school brought their capacity up to 10,400 students and their current ADMI is 9,200. The County has added 1,200 homes in the unincorporated areas and the schools' ADM went down. Itt takes about three to four) years to build a school, but the County can shorten the timeline by selecting a site and buying property in the meantime. Superintendent Dr. Andy Bryan has asked Dr. Crumpton to take down the old Jonesboro school due to vandalism, and other issues and funding for this project will be requested ini their budget. Lee County Schools' CIP total is $82 million. Dr. Crumpton said the radio issues need to be addressed with EMS. The County also needs to look into storage options for Emergency Services and the Sheriff's Office because we're paying a lot ini rent fors storage currently. Dr. Crumpton said we are moving along with the new    library and Horton Pool project. FY2023-24 BUDGET- 1:45PM  BREAK-1:30PM  Reappraisal and Tax Base Discussion  Tax Administrator Michael Brown discussed the current reappraisal and tax base with the Board, and a copy oft the presentation is attached andi incorporated into these minutes. Mr. Brown said the Tax Office is hoping to mail reappraisal notices in the middle of February. Commissioner Robert Reives asked Mr. Brown to look into the Orange County longtime assistance program. Vice-Chairman Andre Knecht asked ift there was at tax base yet. Mr. Brown said that the Tax Office hasn't finalized the numbers. He said they have to go back and re-key exemptions and other things, and that they'! also have  to determine the number of appeals the County will receive. 2023 BOCC Retreat 2023 Reappraisal. pptx FY2 2023-24 Budget Goals Discussion  County Manager Dr. John Crumpton and Assistant County Manager of Operational Services Lisa Minter presented the 2023-244 budget goals to the Board, a copy of which is attached andi incorporated into these minutes. Commissioner Bill Carver recommended the Triangle J grant application assistance program which researches grant opportunities ata a cost of $20,000 year. Dr. Crumpton recommended to the Board that we not go through the non -profits budget work session again and that we not take any new non- profit applications this year. Dr. Crumpton also recommends ai flat taxi for volunteer fire departments to ensure the departments have what they need. Dr. Crumpton believes the taxi rate is going down. He thinks it would be difficult to go revenue neutral this year due to  staff and projects but that the county is in good financial shape.
