Zebulon's Unified Development Ordinance lists processes and procedures to hear appeals (Article 2), and the powers, duties, and composition oft the Board of Adjustment (Section 10.2). Much like the Planning Board, the Board of Adjustment requires ETJ representation because, the UDO has jurisdictional authority over both the Corporate Limits and ETJ. A Board of Adjustment without ETJ representation is open to challenges of their decisions on variances or appeals. A non-functioning Board of Adjustment is also in violation of state statutes, and effectively dilutes or nullifies the Town's development standards by rendering them unenforceable. Any ETJ representation on a board requires approval from the Zebulon  Board of Commissioners and the Wake County Board.  Flscal Impact: NA  Staff Recommendation: Attachments: 1.

Moore II, PE, Town Manager Preparédby Joseph M. Moore II, PE, Town Manager  Executive Summary:  The Board of Commissioners will consider resolutions introducing the Bond Order as well as setting the public hearing and authorizing the filing of the statement of debt.  Background:  The Board adopted a resolution on May 9, 2024 stating its intent to issue general obligation bonds to pay capital costs of providing streets and sidewalks improvements and authorized application to the Local Govemment Commission (LGC). The Town has now applied to the  LGC and that application has been accepted.  Discussion:  The Board of Commissioners will decide on whether to issue General Obligation Bonds to finance Streets and Sidewalks through two actions. First, adoption of the Bond Order and  secondly, setting the public hearing.  Policy Analysis:  Funding transportation projects to address growth and provide appropriate service levels are clearly goals of the Town's Strategic Plan and Comprehensive Transportation Plan. Projects, such N. Arendell Improvements, Jones Street Connector, East Gannon Widening, Proctor/Old Bunn Widening, intersection improvements at. Arendell/Gannon and ArendellJudd, and sidewalk improvements are all examples eligible for funding through a Street and Sidewalk Bond Referendum over the bond's seven-year disbursement period. The Equivalent Tax Impact of the total $20,000,000 is 4.23p in FY '26. Actual tax Impact would vary by the increment and year of the issuance if the Board decided to raise the tax rate by year instead of up-front. By example, issuing $4M of roadway debt in FY '25 and $8M in FY '27, in conjunction with financing for the Fire/EMS facility, is estimated to have  Financial Analysis:  thet following incremental taxi impacts:  Fiscal Year Tax Rate increase  '26 2.49f  '27 0.1C  '28 2.85g    STAFF REPORT RESOLUTION 2024-28 RESOLUTION 2024-29 JUNE 3, 2024  ZEBULON BORTE CAROLINA  2024 BOND REFERENDUM: BOND ORDER & SETTING PUBLIC HEARING AND  AUTHORIZING FILING OF DEBT STATEMENT  Staff Recommendation:  Staff recommends adopting the attached resolutions authorizing issuance of general obligation bonds in the maximum amount of $20,000,000 and setting a public hearing with  regards to this for June 13, 2024at6:00PM.
