Councilwoman Wright made the motion to approve the minutes; seconded by Councilman Dickerson. The motion passed without objection. Public Comment 1. Jimmy Burnette, 107 Waddell St., stated that he had attended last month's meeting regarding things happening on his street along with his daughter. He told her after that meeting that nothing would probably be done about this but at least they had gotten the information out. The next day Chief. Jason Abbott and several Officers were in the neighborhood, patrolling, putting flyers on the doors, and also had a traffic check. From what he understands they were able to catch a felon for drugs. They also provided a number that they could call for any suspicious activities. He thanked the Police Department for their presence and all that they have and continue to do. He has also seen some of the Council Members come through the neighborhood. He wanted to say thank you to the police and Council for following up. 2. Ryan Ellington, 128 Tanglewood Dr, expressed his gratitude to the Council for all that they do in making decisions for the Town. He is confused and frustrated about the decision that was made at last month's s meeting, regarding not moving to a larger venue. There is not enough space for everyone to sit in the current meeting area. He is asking the Board to please reconsider their decision. 3. Myra Davis, 110 Green St., she stated that the Town Hall is not handicapped acceptable. She also asked where the Board was at as far as a Town shuttle. Mayor Neal thanked everyone for their comments and assured them that all comments were taken seriously and would be looked into. 3 Discussion to Relocate Council Meeting Venue Mayor Neal thanked the citizens for coming out to speak on the idea of moving to a larger venue. As said before at the last Town Council meeting, all of the sound and video equipment can be moved to the Karl Pernell Complex. Mayor Neal also suggested that we add a closed caption on a screen for everyone to see as well. Mayor Neal made a motion to move to the Karl Pernell Center along with moving the sound and video equipment. Councilwoman Wright seconded the motion. Councilwoman Stewart stated that she agreed that the meetings needed to be moved to a larger venue, and she also would like the idea ofhaving monitors SO that the public could see presentations of things that are in their packets as well and also the closed caption. Councilwoman Stein stated that there was already a screen on the wall behind where the Council would sit, and that would not benefit Councilman Russell. She also asked if there had been any attempt to personally reach out to Councilman Russell to see what would be the most adaptable for him. Get him to go over and see what would be the best setup to help him, instead of continuing to review this each month. Mayor Neal asked Councilman Russell if anyone had reached out to him. His reply was no. The Mayor ensured that there would be a monitor for the Council and also the audience to be able to view it. Councilwoman Wright asked ifit was a hazard for everyone to be in the Council Chambers with only one door to get out for everyone, in case of a fire. Also, the only handicapped entrance was the side door and they automatically locked from the inside. She had to go around to that door and have someone open it for her. Mayor Neal stated that there was a notice on the wall that said that only 54 people were allowed in that room. This is hazardous to the citizens with the overflow out in the front entrance if there is a situation and everyone has to get out quickly. Councilman Dickerson asked if everything could be set up before the next Council meeting for Councilman Russell to test it out to see ifit benefits him. Councilwoman Stein said she had learned that over 200 people were wathing the livestream, SO why is there a hurry to do more? She stated that there are four times more people watching from home than was at the actual meeting. Mayor Neal said the citizens that come to the meetings need to be put first and also their safety. Councilwoman Stein told the Board that the Americans with Disability Act is a very serious thing and at this point, the Town is teetering on all kinds of violations. In the future with other people with disabilities and we can't accommodate them, we are opening ourselves to an awful situation. Mayor Neal stated that the sign that has a capacity of 54 on it for this meeting area, is boarding on fire hazards, and against the law, we are already opening ourselves up to an awful situation. Mayor Neal asked Councilman Russell ifhe would like to speak on this matter. Councilman Russell said that he was SO glad that people know what it is like to have something that impairs them from everyday life. Mayor Neal asked for a vote to be shown by hand. Council Members Dickerson, Stewart, Wright, and Mayor Neal voted Yes. Council Members Stein, Clancy, and Russell voted No. The motion passed with a four to three vote in favor of moving to the Karl Pernell Training Complex starting with the next meeting. Public Hearing: Ordinance Annexing the Forest Hills Subdivision Councilwoman Stewart made the motion to go into the Public Hearing; seconded by Councilwoman Wright. The motion passed without objection. Keith Callahan, Planning Administrator presented to the Council that this Ordinance is the final step to complete the annexation process. This property is contiguous to the Town. Once completed the subdivision will add 64 single-family homes to the Town's tax base. The annexation will increase the Town's size by 40 acres. Staff supports this annexation. 4 Councilwoman Stewart pointed out an error in the Resolution where it was showing 531 and should be 561. Mr. Callahan stated that it would be corrected before it was sent to the State. Councilwoman Stein asked ifinfrastructure had started at the location. He replied that the road construction had started, storm drains, and arrangements had been made to start on the water and sewer lines, permits were all in order. Craig Eller, 115 Fieldcrest Drive, asked ifl he could have a plat of the subdivision area that was approved by the Planning Board. Mr. Callahan said that he could provide him with one. Beverly on South Main St, asked ifit would be affordable housing because Franklin County needed affordable housing. Mr. Callahan stated that most oft the houses would have three bedrooms and some single floors and he believed that the price would be in the medium, his guess would be in the $300 price range but it hadn't been determined yet. Councilman Clancy made a motion to come out oft the Public Hearing; seconded by Councilman Dickerson. The motion passed without objection. Regular Meeting Councilwoman Stein made a motion to adopt the zoning ordinance to extend the corporate limits oft the Town ofLouisburg to include Forest Hills Subdivision with changes of 531 to 561 correction; seconded by Councilman Clancy. The motion passed without objection. Proclamation Mental Health Month 2023 Mayor Neal presented the Proclamation to Dr. Samantha Coleman Director and Owner of At- Home Counseling Services, INC. This is a new business in Louisburg for counseling children 3+ and adults at home and school for mental health and substance abuse issues. The Town is thankful for having the business here. Resolution to Declare and Dispose of Surplus Property Town Administrator, Sean Medlin told the Board that the Town owns certain items of personal property that are no longer functional for governmental purposes, and such properties are identified as two 2016 Chevy Tahoe Police cars. VIN IGNSKDECXGR26960 and VIN# IGNSKDEC3GR26306, 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix Police Car, VIN #2G2WP2241147582, and a 2006 Ford Explorer, VIN# IFMEU/2226/A2615: Councilwoman Stewart made the motion to approve the surplus property; seconded by Councilman Dickerson.

She said the community will benefit from it. Councilwoman Stewart asked ifLouisburg Methodist Church had formally reached out or shown interest in this. She felt like ift they wanted the chimes on again they would have sent someone to ask for it.

Submitted; Pamela Perry NCCMC, CMC Administrative Assistant/ Town Clerk / Special Called Meeting Minutes November 9, 2023 There was a meeting requested by the property owners and current residents on Ford Circle/Loy Drive/Waddell Street. Mayor Neal along with Council Members Clancy, Stewart, Dickerson, and Stein were present. Police Chief Abbott, Town Clerk Pamela Perry, and Town Administrator Medlin were also there. Everyone met at the Karl Pernell Public Safety Complex, 104 Wade Avenue, Louisburg, NC. The meeting started at 5:30 pm. This meeting was to include property owners, renters, and owners to share collective concerns and suggestions for improvement in safety and quality oflife in this neighborhood. Ms. Anita Toney opened the meeting with their concerns. In recent years' residents have witnessed problems in the neighborhood and comfort in safety. More recently, we have had illicit drug activity, suspicious foot, and car traffic, threatening attacks with injury from unleashed dogs, shootings, and violent loss of life. The Town Council members have recently heard from many of us individually and have responded with shared concerns and plans for assistance to address problematic issues. Chief Abbott and his police staffhave made significant efforts to increase street patrol, engage with residents, and provide a direct call number for residents to report concerns. There appears to be a noticeable decrease in suspicious and threatening activity, however, we strive to continue plans for improvement in our long-term community environment. Others who attended also voiced their concerns with the same issues. There were also concerns with the appearance ofs some ofthe houses and yards. They would like to have that enforced as well. Mr. Philip Slayter spoke to the citizens that the Town does have a code enforcement person but this is a process and takes some time to process items as far as lawn maintenance, items that were on the property, and the upkeep ofhomes. The Town does have policies but there is a process to it and it just doesn't happen quickly. Mayor Neal thanked everyone for coming to the meeting and for their concerns and assured them that the Town would continue to help them with all of their concerns.

Employee Actions and Recognitions -None 2. Recruiting, & Retention -None 3. Community Tip Prevent Delivery/Package Theft this Holiday Season: Unfortunately, these thefts typically increase during the holidays given an uptick in purchases and deliveries to doorsteps and the continual growth of online retail sales. Some steps you can take to prevent package theft: Arrange to pick up packages at the carrier or retail establishment. Require a signature on deliveries. Ship packages to a locker where this service is available. Track packages and ship them to a location where you or someone you trust is available to receive them upon arrival. Ensure that no shipments will be delivered while you are away on vacation. Report crime and suspicious activity in your neighborhood such as someone stealing a package or trailing a delivery truck by bike or car. Camera surveillance is beneficial to home security and often deters package thieves. Package theft prevention is certainly not as convenient as delivery to the door, but a little prevention can help keep the good cheer oft the holidays. 4.
