All right, I'm gonna call this snake no order Monday, February 6, 2023. The Duke and County Commission's meeting. I'm Edward Garner, the Vice Chairman. We fill in in at some of our Chairman, Deputy Director Ed. At this time, I'm gonna ask each of you to remember Chairman Edwards in your prayers. Also, one of our loyal attendees to this meeting, she's usually here every meeting. She also serves on our Board of Elections and she was retired from the Department of Social Services and it's Miss Angela Maynor who's currently in the hospital at Duke University with some pretty serious health issues. But if you would, just remember those two in your prayer, if you would. With that now, this time I ask everybody to stand and I'm going to ask Commissioner Wayne Branch if he would lead us in invocation and to play the bleach. Let us pray. Your wise and precious God, we thank you for this day. We thank you, Father, for bringing us here safely for this Board of County Commissioners meeting this evening. Lord, as Mr. Garner has already noted, we just ask for a special blessing of healing and restoration for our board chair, Decks Edwards, and as noted, we ask Father that you reach in and touch our dear sister, Miss Angela B. Mayner, as she goes through a process in her life, Father, just continue to be with her and a family as well as Mr. Edwards and his family. God touch and support them all, Lord. Father, I ask that you allow us this evening to work together with open hearts and minds in the best interests of those for which we serve. Continue to bless Dupin County, Father, with all the things that you have afforded to us. Father continue to watch over our citizens, keep them Lord and God them. Father actually you work with us to help us become more like you, continue to do those things Lord that is uplift into your kingdom. God is throughout the decision making the night as we work to make a better duplet. It is an impression, name of Jesus, that I do pray. Let us all say amen. Amen. A pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, for our nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and and justice. All right, members of the board. We had our agenda package to us last week. Does anybody have any questions or additions they would like to add on to the agenda prior to the approval. I've got a question about number 10 on the consent agenda. Mr. Rollins will you explain your goals or you can either add it or take it away. You just, the same time for that. We will, you can add it to the agenda. That makes, when we get to the approval of the consent agenda, we can, we'll discuss that. Okay, okay. You can either add it or take it or, right now you're trying to approve the agenda. I understand. So that's really, I asked him to just hold up until we got to the consent. All right. There is one addition to the agenda that's been presented tonight. And that is the schedule of public hearing on March the 6th to receive public comments on request from James Elking Keenan to name Elaine and the 1400 block of Ocamp Road and Rose Hill North Carolina in the back of New York town. She had Keenan family lane and of course with the Duke Academy addressing and road naming ordinances. If it pleases, so pleases to board, we will make that item number 13 and move Mr. Davis Branson down to number 14. Okay. All right. With those, would that not Mr. Branson, do you have anything else to add? No, sir, Mr. Vice Chairman. All right. With that one addition to the agenda, I will be looking for a motion to approve the NOx agenda. Simulte. Sick. Have a motion that's been properly cited to approve the agenda. All in favor, please say aye. All opposed. Same side motion, please. All right, on item number five, the approval of the minutes from the river Hill meeting on January 17th. Any corrections? Anyone would like to make it through the motions that were to the minutes that were presented to us? Move the group. Say motion to approve and I've been properly seconded to adopt the minutes all in favor say aye. All opposed. Motion carries. All right that carries us to the Consent Agenda. I think Chair of Commissioner Edwards had a question about number 10. Yeah, I was just looking some clarification on number 10. What I go with it is. What is that? What I go with it? A point of order is we're just trying to either take it in. You can either add it to the agenda or you accept the percentage in as it is, but we don't explain at this point in time. or you accept the Consent agenda as it is, but we don't explain at this point in time This by chairman. I'll ask that it be removed from the consent agenda until I can explain it further to Commissioner Edwards The empty satisfaction So we're gonna frame the consent agenda So we're going to prove to consent agenda order. Please. We're going to remove it from the consent agenda number 10 until it can be explained further. So I'm looking for a motion to adopt a consent agenda as amended. So we have a motion and a second. All in favor say aye. All opposed. Motion carries. All right, that brings us to item number one. Public comment. Anyone else on that for public comment? Yes, sir. Mr. Vice Chairman, the first individual who signed up for public comment is Mayor AJ Conner's of Warsaw to speak about animal control Thank you We've had this small discussion once before and I've had a visit from the Department of the Animal Control Supervisor as well as the young ladies who's working with him. But at this field point, as I said, when I was here once before, is that the local citizens of the Warsaw field that they already pay into the county, one tax, and then they already paid the town a tax. And now they're being maybe subject to being charged a third to help with animal control when they feel that there's already being dealt with. I was hoping somewhere in the midst of this that we could come with some reasonable deal that would where would not affect individuals that does not have, that they would not have to pay this extra. If it means charging individuals when you send somebody out to pick up a dog, let it be that bill to that individual instead of the next door neighbor who doesn't have an animal and because otherwise individuals will be taxed or or be funds will be collected through them some source another for a service that they're not having to get anything from it. I would ask that at some point somewhere that we could come up with a better plan than where you would have to envy. Unfortunately, I know that the animal control is shorthanded. I know that the sheriff department is shorthanded. The police department in Warsaw is shorthanded and we just gave $5,000 a raise but we still are shorthanded. Public works for Warsaw. We used to have ten now we only have four. So we're sure handed and I don't understand that. But there must be some level of playing ground where we can deal with this where we're not burdened the citizen that does not have animals. Is that fair to be considered? Other than that, that's what we're sort of sitting at at this point. Because this weekend we had an animal that was a problem in the neighborhood and they called out but animals shelter had an issue down there and which means they couldn't take another animal in. And that animal, it means the other animal, other resource to deal with that animal was that an officer go out there and shoot the dog. And we don't want that because you know animal rights would be all over us. Not just us, they would be all over the county as well. So I asked you to let us reconsider or come to the table somewhere and know to help solve this animal situation soon. Because animal controls getting a little bit more and more problem for everybody. And I know you build a new shelter and that's going to take a little while. But hopefully we can come up with something before the shelter is complete. That will benefit everybody. Okay. Thank you, sir. The next individual who signed up is Miss Ethel Sutherland to speak on the auditorium demolition in the town of MacMoya. Miss Sutherland, if you would step up to the podium so your remarks would be picked up by the mic. Good afternoon. Did you state your name for us just so it would be clear on the record? I'm going to ask you to ask the questions. I'm going to ask the questions. I'm going to ask the questions. I'm going to ask the questions. I'm going to ask the questions. I'm going to ask the questions. I'm going to ask the questions. I'm going to ask the questions. I'm going to ask the questions. I'm going to ask the questions. I'm here to get some information about the demolition of the building. And I see on the program that there is a schedule for the contract to be signed tonight. Am I correct in that? That's correct. That's correct. Okay. So that's basically what we were trying to find out. And also we have another question we were told by the town manager that we received $231,000 to rebuild that building. But I've also heard that we are only getting 131,000. So I'm here to see which one is correct. That's, we're getting down on my ignoving that we have enough and to do with that. You have nothing to do with that, okay? Okay. All the information on the information heard. Mr. Rawlins, our county planner is running that project for the county. He'll be speaking about demolition contract with the Adams Company later tonight. And I'm sure if you want to get in contact with Mr. Rollins outside of the meeting, Miss Soutland, he'll be glad to get you to answer any of the questions you may have. Okay. All right. Thank you. Yes, ma'am. Thank you, Okay. Thank you. Yes ma'am. Thank you Mary. Thank you. The next individual we have is Ms. Ms. Wilson and she would also like to speak about the auditorium demolition and then we also have Perry Reigns. Okay. So Ms. Sullivan covered all the okay, so you guys are good. All right, thank you. Miss Mary Williams she would like to talk about animal control and snakes. Well the record my name is Mary Williams-Bork and I'm sorry I did not put Bork in the hyphenated B.O.R.K.I.N. I'm sure a lot of you heard about the issue on 127 of Python being ran over and Syrector by a driver I discovered this information out on newsbreak, and I have had several people call me about it. I found Raleigh wildlife to inquire from them because it was a python to my understanding. And those animals they multiply as you know, all snakes multiply. But this is a reptile that can be an extreme hazard to our environment. And they indicated to me that I need to call the North Island Department of Agriculture. I have not followed up with them yet, but I will. And I found Duke McHenry Sherf's, this boat with Sherf's, this book with Sherf, Stokes, that's why it's Stokes. And he found him Monday and he was not available, he found me back Tuesday, and at such time he said that he was not aware of the incident. And I informed him and while we were on the phone, he did pull it up on the news, the cell phone. So he said, he'd check into it. And I said, well, I'll anticipate here back from you. I have not heard back from him. But my concern is that there was somebody I understand it was heard. I don't know all the details, because the news doesn't give you all the details because the news doesn't give you all the details. I did not contact whatever agency the individual went to for help reasons how badly they were injured. My concern is that as a home we don't want to get like Florida. They've got serious problems there with pythons. I was born and raised in this county, and pythons are not a natural animal to this area. They are exotic animals. It's not like a rattlesnake. We know what they do. Pythons, you don't know what it'll do, but you don't want it in your back door. You don't want it eating your chickens, your pigs, or wrapping around your children, because that's what they do. And my concern is people that get exotic animals, somebody in the community needs to know that animal needs to either be licensed or have some sort of detector on it once it leaves the shot or something in the event that it gets out or you let it out intentionally. Most of these animals as for a simple order, somebody let them out intentionally. Now that becomes a liability to who? You sit in a sunsend here. What are you going to do? You see a he's sneaking your back door. You're freak out. Because that's what I do. So I I'm just bringing this to your attention because I intend to contact Raleigh because I think I know it starts with Raleigh. We need to put something on the record on the books. Last year there was um, ex-poisonous snakes let accident let let out in Raleigh. The whole neighborhood freaked out. Man, we exceeded the three minutes. Okay, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Thank you. Thank you. We will take your comments under advisory and if you want to leave a phone number, if we can come up with something, we'll try to be back in touch with you. We do have an exotic animal ordinance in the county. It's in our animal control ordinance, and I'd be glad to send you a copy of that if you just leave me your contact information. And I'll explain you more about that incident that night what happened okay because we did have animal control EMS both responded as well as one of our volunteer fire department. All right. Do we have any more public comments or is that the last one? That's the last individual sign up for public comments. Anybody else have anything that has not had a chance to speak in public comment? All right, you're in room. We're moving on to item number two, Mr. Brinx. Thank you, Mr. Vice Chairman. Members of the board, I'm here now to receive any road or highway concerns that you may have so that I can convey them to the North Nine Department of Transportation for their attention and after that I'll take any road concerns from members of the general public. I have two, Dave. Yes, sir. The Lyman Fire Department would like transportation to look at this called Dead Man's Curve. It's about a half a mile from Lyman Crossroads on Jackson Store Road. They had six wrecks between January 1 and January 15. They said part of the curve sign got wiped out. They were likely the signs replaced and maybe some more signage to go up. Yes sir. Another one. One of the directors on the Farm Bureau Board reached out and he had a complaint about, and we talked about it discussed that last meeting, he had a complaint about the four way stop signs going in at... T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T. in the fact that they were installed. He wanted that message relayed. Yes, sir, I will do that for you. We glad to. Thanks, sir. Yes, sir. Commissioner Branch. Yes. I want to basically have a follow up to the scenario that took place as it relates to the always stop or the full-way stop. After the meeting that we had last, we had a brief discussion here amongst the commissioners and we felt that it would be necessary to have a conversation with NC DOT just to really try to get a better understanding of what's taking place. So I took that on personally and I communicated with fellow commissioners. What has been determined is as I was all reaching out to NCDOT Board, I was then contacted by the regional director for this area that actually puts the signs in the ground. And we had a conversation about the process. And their process is they have their process that is basically out of our lane of trial in terms of of governance but it's interesting enough as to how they come to a conclusion about where these four way stops will go where the roundabouts go where the signal lights go flash or so forth and so on so I won't get into the weeds in terms of that process, but they did go through a process to come to the conclusion that we needed to always stop at US 117 and Bay Road. So they have, again, they have a way that they do that. But what he did, he meant in the regional director, as well as the Division III engineer for this area. He contacted me as well and we had a conversation. The one thing we did agree about holistically is that we as a leadership of the county should be informed about when these things are taking place because there's going to be questions rightfully so from the citizens as to why and how and what so forth and so on similar to what commissioner it was is noten here. So the ball so to speak if you similar to what Commissioner Edwards is note in here. So the ball so to speak, if you wanna look at it from that vantage point was dropped and that we didn't know about these changes taking place at the Calico Bay and US 117 and they accepted that. I talked to both of them and we had a good conversation that the communication needs to be better so that we are able to present it to the citizens as well as be able to respond in a more thoughtful and inclusive way so that we're in the loop. With that and having said that, there's actually four locations in Dupin County that are subject to the always stop depending upon funding. And those areas for the record is State Road 1100, which is Old Camp Road at State Road 1102, Ward's Road. That's on the map to have always stops coming in this month or next month. State Road 1500 which is tram road at the intersection of State Road 1306 which is Red Hill Road has been set or selected as area where the always stops will eventually be put in place. State Road 1301, which is Bowden Road and State Road 1305, which is Revble Road, it's on the list to have always stop, put there between the end of this month and then the March. And NC903 at State Road 1539, which is Pining Grove Road in August, what has been selected. So what I'm doing is communicating for note and for warning the citizens that these things are taking place, and this is your FYI that is taking place, and it's not necessarily something that's again in our lane of travel in terms of governance as to how that wheel or will not take place. It is a concern but it's the process of which the DOT comes to their decisions to manage these outcomes. And I guess lastly holistically is that when we communicate with each other, it makes for a better conclusion. Everyone is informed. Didn't say everyone would agree. But at least everyone is informed now as to what's taking place so that we can do the things that's necessary to manage it holistically. And one more thing, the roundabout as far as the cost cost you're looking at $2 million just to have that in place so it's cost prohibitive and then as far as the flashing lights and the signal lights it's the number of people that travel through that intersection that's part of the process in terms of how DOT comes to the conclusion of where these items need to take place so I just wanted to follow up and communicate and again thank to thank Mr. Anthony, who came to the last meeting and had a public comment to say to us and do a public comment so we don't generally answer, we just listen. But I did call him to have a conversation about these things, too, personally, to let him know that this is where things are, this is how things came to be, and I'll always reach out to us and we'll make sure that we do all we can to keep everyone informed. Thank you. Thank you, Commissioner. Mr. Boucher. Thank you. Does any member of the general public have a road concern or highway concern? You want me to bring to the attention of DOT? Thank you. All right, on to item number three, Mr. George Futures, just the kind of manganon airport dress. Mr. Vice Chairman and board, I've come to you tonight to present to you the PowerPoint presentation if I may. On what aviation means to our economy. And of course I think you know that Chairman Edward sits on the airport board and American owners is on the airport board as well. So I think we'll have this presence here tonight. The State of Aviation report that came out, of course, I'm a little bit late getting to you guys because you came out in the press release and the paper prior to me being able to get on the agenda and I'll be brief about this because I know you have received this in your package and I do want to go through it if I may. The North Carolina Division of Aviation but I do want to go through it if I may. The North Carolina Division of Aviation has the North Carolina State University history, the Institution for Transportation, Research and Education. Every two years does an economic study on the impact of the North Carolina Airport system. And so that's what I wanted to talk with you about tonight and take any questions that you may have. Of course, you know North Carolina is first in flight and we're proud of that. And we have a general aviation airport in Duke and County. And we, thankfully, over the years have been able to, with the blessings of the County commissioners of previous boards and this board as well to continue to and county management to grow and develop the airport into to a fine facility. Okay the airports in North Carolina are 72 airports and they just happens to be 72 billion dollars worth of economic impact. 330,000 jobs, 23 billion in personal income and 3.7 billion in tax revenue. And again, this is based on 2019 data. We have, of course, we have 39 airplanes based at the airports, but we just, the two corporate jets that we have, and these are exact pictures of those typeo jets, the gloss cream, 450 and the Challenger aircraft. They're both the worth 26.4 million on our tax books and they generate $193,911 in advalorant tax. To compare that, it takes 132 homes, a subdivision with an average value of $200,000 home to equal the same in a abelorum tax. We do have that and again that 26.4 million I believe was based on the 2021 tax values and the actual value of all the aircraft based there for this year is $37.6 million. Again you see where we're located, of course, we're part of the 72 public airport system. 62 of us are the general aviation airports and their 10 commercial service airports. That actually needs to be corrected. It's actually 96% of the North Carolina population is within a 30-minute drive of the public airport. Of course, you see the passenger service, those 10 commercial service airports, have 17 different commercial airlines, 60 million passengers coming to go on. 15,000 airline jobs and 78,700 average annual salaries. Also the cargo service is, it's pretty major and we at Dupland have shipped cargo for years for the lear corporation. They used to be gulf or meals. They ship a lot of the fabric seat covers and make seat covers and headliners for automobiles and so we do have cargo that is shipped out periodically. In the airport system, by the way, there's 10 rental car companies through the system. Of course, we have enterprise that supports us. We're mighty thankful for enterprise out of Wallace that supports us with the rental cars. And you can see the stats there. 4,000 base aircraft throughout the state. And then 523 million gallons of aviation fuel. And that last year we did 196,000 gallons of aviation fuel and that is kind of our bread and butter that and hunger and just a little bit of farm rail. This is something that you know I'm not sure that a lot of people know that there's over 200 airspace companies in the state of North Carolina, 400 plus aerospace supply chain companies, which we would like to try to tap into some of that market in our airport. We are geographically blessed, I like to say, located in between that triangle between Camp Le Junes, the more Johnson Fort Bragg. I think it was Dr. Quinn that used to say that we were right here in the very epicenter of that of the triangle those bases but nonetheless we are located in a good proximity to those 5600 jobs in aerospace manufacturing and the average salary is pretty high there for those type of jobs. Aircraft maintenance repaired overhaul again, 174 companies in the state, 8,000 jobs, average income there, 68,000. We're proud of the fact that we have one of five in the state of North Carolina designated exammers at our airport. So if you're going to get your license to work on airplanes and we have a lot of the military, a lot of the Marines will come up and they take some whole day to take their practical exam. And so, Ruben Edwards is what they call a DME, a designated mechanic examiner. So, you have to go through him to get your license. He's just one of five and he's right here with us. Proud of that. Of course, you know, eight military bases in the state, 150,000, and four weeks, and then 18,000 trained veterans. And that's so important. You know, we saw it as Scott and Somerah and I attended a meeting that we were talking about, all of these military personnel that are coming out and being able to feed into these jobs, these airspace jobs, and anyway. UAS, that's a big thing, as you well know. And I believe Commissioner Dallas lost his grown pilot, and that is just a absolute way of the future. As you know, we're actually capturing some of that stuff for it to be able to give to y'all pictures of our construction projects that we have on. It's just wonderful technology. There's a lot that they're doing up with some farm spray and things like that up in Hyde County right now. And so just a lot of stuff going on. I hadn't ordered a pizza yet to be delivered from the drone, but that may come soon. Anyway, it's a big business. and again, we would like to be able to attract a company of whatever a drone, the propeller over here at Hallshop or something like that, you know, kind of target markets on this stuff. The education, it's really big. We've got a lot of the community colleges that are in aviation programs. That has grown. I'm a product of the Lenore Community College Aviation Management degree. Now University of Manala has an aviation program. There are just a lot of people getting into it because of the fact there's such a shortage of pilots now. And so they've got to feel the feel that these slots are up. So it's going to cripple the travel system. But you can see the state of the stats on that 28 community college with aviation workforce content, either private, either commercial pilot or mechanic, and UAS. Well for us here at Dukeland that's our runway, our runway 2-3, the Southwesternly runway and we have a 70 million dollar impact and 310 jobs and those jobs are filtered down to the people that actually write the checks for the fuel that they buy and cater and the enterprise people all of those go into the mix and again you know NC State came up with all these numbers. So they provide that for the division of aviation. So that's where they came from. 18.4 million in personal income. And then 6.25 million in state and local tax revenues. Prior to that impact. What it does, and I can provide that, I can send you a link to that little YouTube video. What it does is it shows the reach of our airport, it shows all the flights that go out and come in to our airport. I may have shared that with you all that previously because they put it out. We were actually the test airport for the state on how that graphic was going to go out. And it's really, it's very impressive. The states, as our planes fly out from Dublin to these different states, the states light up and then you can kind of see the reach that we have, you know, all the way out to Montana, Utah out of hoe and you know, all up and down the East Coast. That's what that was going to show there. Of course what we do, the support in the community and the economy, you see just some of the list in there. You know, we have a lot of aerial agriculture applications of AK crop dust and the firefighting to the North Carolina Forest Service now that it has been there one year, where first air ambulances we do have those. And of course we do have an aerobatic box, an FAA sanctioned aerobatic box where people that come to train for the Cherry Point Air Show or the Sea More Johnson Air Show, the General Aviation folks can't, they need a place to come and the train and they do that here and they've got that aerobatic box for quite, air cargo as I mentioned, of course passengers on demand with air taxi, we do tours to a lot of school groups and any kind of group that will come and then of course business and corporate use everyday. Hurricane relief would play a big part in that whenever that enforcing when the hurricanes come they set up a wing type thing and then of course the law enforcement uses our facility and we're thankful for them. Flying instruction, we don't have flying instructors there but we have a lot of people that use us for touching those, including the military operation, the personal flying of course, power line inspections, these contractors come in from the power power line and the saws, the saws that trend the trees on power line right away. Of course we are a refueling stop. We have way between New York and Miami so we get a lot of people coming in for fuel. They send them up town. The cheeseburger will have it. They call it the $100 hamburger. Anyway, search and rescue. Of course we have a weather station that blasts out to the TV stations and all of you get your, you see your weather on TV, it's kind of from the airport on our weather station more than likely. And then wildlife management, we do that. We have a wildlife management program and it was on leaving the airport tonight. It was about four or five deer across the road. You know, that's one of the issues. We do have a depredation permit. We are sanctioned by the USDA and by the North Carolina Wildlife to take care of that. And we have this very important because a deer can do a lot of damage to airplane and to life. And then of course we do host a lot of meetings out there. I mean we're back for a nice place to host meetings and we've hosted quite a few folks there and we look forward to hosting you all for your retreat. And I believe that's it. Oh our future projects are something that we have underway now and are developing those air part road that we're building in the air park actually the economic development project about the money funnel through transportation. So it's a air pool commission has been responsible for looking after that project and the connector tax away which is exciting. That's a new little tax-away system. The fuel farm is one that we have now, and we are about in 1994. And so it's a, it's outlived, it's used to life, and we're excited to be funding, get funding for that. The runway safety area grading project is going to be funded. And then there's, we're going to do a legislative ask for some, some skip funds to perhaps do a flip with a hanger development. And then the miles are on runway five. On the mountain roadside, the miles are medium intensity lighting system with runway alignment. And we in the pilot, Colleague, the running rabbit, you've probably seen them with strobe lights on the end of the runway. If you go to Roller rather Durham you'll see them. There's a series of strobe lights and so it helps bring the pilots down. Our runway has an instrument approach. It's on both ends on runway 5 and runway 2.3. It brings you down to about 205 feet above the ground in the fog. So your decision height is like 200 feet above the ground before you have to either seat around the way or go around and go into a holding pattern. So we're pleased that's pretty much ILS minimums like you would see a larger pool set. So that's good and that's so. I think that's it. Yeah, that's it. I don't know if you have any questions and again I just appreciate the opportunity to give you this information. And I want to thank you again for your support of your airport and I thank you for the privilege to operate for you and to develop it. I have a wonderful board that I work for and I'm just thankful to be able to do that. We're glad that we have this impact. And Mr. Boss Chairman, that's all I have. Well, Mr. George, we appreciate it. I think I can speak on behalf of the home board, but may or may or may not be able to speak to yourself. But thank you for what you do, Mayor Connors and the other members of the airport board. I think we have a airport in a second to know and the standard North come out. Thank you for your due, sir. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I'm Mr. Smith for using the airport main business. All right, Mr. Burton, plan your Mr. Director. Good evening. I come for you tonight to ask approval for the Memorandum of Agreement that you guys got in your packet with the Medical Responders that operate within Dupland County and Dupland County EMS. Right now currently we have seven medical responder groups within our county to operate within our county. Six of those are in Dupland County. One of those is Pinkview or Perk Responders. They have a district within our county so they respond as well. This agreement lays out how many medical responders will answer calls, how they would document the patient reports and what medical supplies they must keep on the truck. The North Carolina Office of M.S. strongly recommends that we have these agreements on file. The one that you have now, our county attorney has looked at and has agreed to. Also, the Office of MS recommends that we update these yearly. And I come for you not to ask to approve that, that minimum agreement and that allow me to sign on behalf of the county. All right, we've heard Mr. Bands request what is the pleasure of bold. So, have a motion has been properly seconded to approve the Duke and County EMS Medical Responder Program guidelines included the EMU for Volunteer Medical First Responders and Authorize the Director of EMSMS decide on the county's behalf.

Thank you very much. What? Mr. Farrahman, I'm a murderer your last name if I try. Now I'm sorry. Mr. Farrahman, it's a rot key. Grunk key. All right, the director of Coward Museum. Good evening. I'm here for two reasons. The first is I'm seeking approval for the second disbursement for the North Carolina Science Museums Grant Program. The disbursement of $75,000 and we have a contract with that. And it's through the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources. So, it's... Well, this contract is the same as it was last year. The only difference is that we need to spend the money by June 30th. Those last year, they gave us till September 30th. But the way I've organized the projects, I don't think that that would be a problem. And there's no county match, right, Ms. Gruptkin? This is an outright appropriation from the state. This is a big portion of what she uses for her operational expenses. All right. Commotions, we've heard the request. What is the pleasure to board? Motion to approve. State. Have a motion to approve the physical year 23 NCS, site's museum grants program between contract between the NC Department of Natural and Cultural Resources and the Cal Museum of History and Science for a second disbursement of 75,000 and authorize the vice chairman of the Science saying and approve the associated budget amendment. We have a motion on a second on any discussion or questions. Here in note all in favour, signify and say aye. I'll oppose motion carries. Okay, so it's through DocuSign, the contract signature and I did include a motion, I'm not sure how to go about this, but I was going to make a motion to have Davis Brinson sign the contract electronically and then submit to the grant emergency. Did you advise the Department of Natural Cultural Resources that I would be signing or that the Vice Chairman will be signing because who's email address you ask him to send it to Ms. Krautkin. Oh, that would be Walter Hennessy. But who is Walter sending it to? Yeah, he, yeah, yeah. We'll need an amended motion, Mr. Vice Chairman, or she can ask them to send it to your attention. How do we normally do it Mr. President? Signed via DocuSign, either myself or Chairman Edwards will sign it. You just trying to have an addition outside of the chair we're trying to add someone else is that the intent or? No, it was just to streamline the contracting and because no chairman Edwards, from what I understand, he's very familiar with DocuSign. Yeah. That's what we've been doing. So I guess he was out of place. She wanted to give them my contact information because she knew chairman it was from the out of place. She wanted to give them my contact information because she knew Chairman it was from the out of place. I don't have a problem with you sign it. Or the board won't, me just sign it. I had no problem with it being sent to me. That's the pleasure. So is the thought it has to be signed like tonight? No, sir. It will be sent at a future date via DocuSign. And it's sent through your email. Yeah, I'm familiar with it just as it, I mean, is that time can strike that we need to make a change or? No, sir. What we had to do is amend amendment. I mean, amend the current emotional to allow me or your debt to whichever one, all three of us. Okay. If that's fine. To allow the the chairman, the vice chairman, All three of us. If that's fine. To allow the chairman, the vice chairman or the county manager to sign on behalf of the county. I make a motion to the the So you can Chairman chairman Edwards is He's okay. I mean, I don't see what, in his life would be prohibiting him from signing it right now. That's my personal opinion. I think it's a proactive approach just in case there's something going on you have just more one individual that. Authorize somebody that's here. And government change. That's it. So I will make the motion to amend the State Act to be inclusive of both the county manager as well as the vice chair of the board. Is that done right, Mr. Wilson? So we've got an amendment and we have a second to the amendment. You really all have probably to do this amendment of current is the current motion. Yes, I have. We voted on the regional motion. Which was the author of the chair. But we bring it back by. Can we just proceed like that and send the email to. We can't iron a problem with that. I mean, you know, I just, that's my motion dies. No, we can just bring the original motion back up and then carry it through with the better language. That's right. Yeah. Since we, it was approved on a who made the motion myself of Mr. Branch. Mr. Branch, Branch, Branch. Mr. Branch, Branch, Branch. Mr. Branch, just bring the motion back up. Mr. Brown. Just bring the motion back up. Mr. Red. We're executive. Commissioner Red. We're executive. Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown. Bring it back up. And then make the resolution motion without it being amended. So I moved. Help me out, Mr. was moved to a manager or original. I moved, help me out, Mr. Wilson. I moved to a managerial. I moved to a member of my original motion to include the vice chair of the board to sign, say it, document. Along with Chairman. Along with the vice chair and the county manager. Chairman, vice chair and the county manager. Chairman the vice chair and the county manager. We need a second on that. I have a second. Any questions? All in favor say aye. All opposed. Motion carries. All in favor say aye. All opposed motion carries The second reason why I'm here is to formally deaccession an artifact It's a hammer metal and I don't know if you have pictures It's a ham of the metal and I don't know if you have pictures, but it was a loud that was given to museum in 2010. The man is to get a hold of the lender and she gave me a need of gift so we have legal tribal for it. In this first picture, it's sitting under the tobacco barn and that's how it's been for years and years. And it's been rusting and it's been exposed to the elements, temperature fluctuations. So when we had the first phase of the tobacco barn renovation set, movely artifacts out of there. Maintenance helped me move this out, but it's so heavy that they could only put it in the grass just a couple of few away from where it was placed. So it was exposed to rain and eventually we have a wind storm and a blu-rover. So now it's just lying down in this picture and soggy grass. It's very wet around there. So we don't have the capability. Museum doesn't have the capability to properly store something like this. And I got in touch with a donor as a courtesy to let her know that what is saying that we have is for some end of the year but that we just can't take care of it. And it makes me sad when I see some of the artifacts deteriorating like this, but I feel responsible for making sure it for a better home. I'd like to formally be a session at trying to find a better home for it now. It's very rusted, it's a bulls and it's so I don't know if another institution would take it. There's a possibility that somebody could purchase it. And I'm hopeful that the money for that we would get for that would go towards the collection to safeguard other things that we have. So I don't like the accession of things, but in this case, it's the best thing for the artifact and also people give us these things and they trust us and it's meaningful for them in this case this was from the family and I would do need to take care of this and to be just can't take care of it. to take care of the case and to be as care of the case. So I would like your approval to the accession, the exact. All right, we've heard the recommendation was to play as your board. So moved. Set. I have a motion and a second to approve the deaccession of the 2017 point10.1, a Fairbank's Moors Hammer Meal from Cowell Museum of History and Science Collection and to authorize device chairman to sign. Any questions or comments? Yes. Mr. World, could you Raleigh Museum and refer to this? No, I have, and I'm thinking of contacting the history museum. There's also another artifact I want to talk to them about, which is a cartwheel that we have that's deteriorating outside too. I'd prefer to go to a museum first. Okay and the reason I asked is I'll run it that we have some people from Manolia here but I don't see proper dead enough of giving them a lot of artifacts from Manolia, North Carolina. So hopefully they will be interested in Duke McCownies these successful artifacts. So Roy Rollins is a big museum. So they are probably take something that nobody else would. So it's a dish. That's my preference of a good museum that can take care of it and Should I let you know if I hear anything? That's it Mr. I mean right gone. It's gone. I'm sorry about that Any more questions or comments All right all in favor of the motion. I'm sitting if I'm saying aye. All opposed? Motion carries. Thank you. Thank you. All right, item number eight. Ms. Tracy Simmons, Carnegie, our Good evening, Mr. Graschierman and fellow commissioners. I have a couple agenda items for the Health Department. The first one is the reappointment of two Board of Health members. The first one is the reappointment of Dr. Margi Hunter as the veterinarian to serve her fifth three-year term to the Dupline County Board of Health and then also to reappoint Mr. Edward Garner as the County Commissioner to his second three-year term to the Du the reappointment of Dr. Margie Hunter as the vet Narian and Mr. Edward Garner as the county commissioner to the Board of Health for the period of March 2023 March 2026. So move, stick. Have a motion in a second to approve the reappointment of Dr. Margie Hunter, vet Narian and Mr. Earl would go on a county commission to the Board of Health for three year terms beginning on March 1st, 2023 and ending on February 28th, 2026. All in favor, signify, I would say aye. On the board, motion carries. And there was a third individual with that position is still vacant at this time. So that was being postponed, itonates in an update. Sorry. Thank you. I have a question. Is it vacant because he's not willing to serve anymore. You can't find anybody in Philip. So we actually are in negotiation with someone to fill that position. Any other questions? I'm representing to your next. So the next agenda item is Healthy People, Healthy Carolinas for the Dupline Coalition for Health. So since there is, well had not been for a number of years an active coalition working on health priorities in Dupline County, ECU Health Dupland Hospitalized that lead agency partnered with the Health Department to submit a grant to the Duke Endowment. This application was to support the creation of a healthy people's Healthy Carolina's Coalition to increase the capacity and improve population health for the residents of Dupland County. The purpose of the Coalition is to establish a collaborative approach to improving the health of the community is to establish a collaborative approach to improving the health of the community by leveraging resources and knowledge of the participants, organizations, and community members. So the Coalition will use our community health needs assessment that is completed every three years by the hospital and the health department with our community partners to identify, understand and prioritize the health concerns of the residents of Dupland County. In year one we were granted $100,000 to develop the Dupland Coalition for Health. A consultant firm will be utilized as well to create a coalition environment where differences are recognized, understood, and appreciated along with leveraging the equitable benefit of all members. The Coalition will support align activities with monthly meetings to communicate and establish shared measurement practices and use data to redefine our health strategies. So with Year 1, the Coalition plans to assess the resources needed for the program coordination and integration within the community also work toward establishing the framework of the coalition in preparation for submission of a request for five additional years to fully support the establishment of the coalition and implement evidence-based initiatives aimed for improving the health of the Dukeland County residents. We also work to determine the lead community partners to ensure the successful transition from a fully grant funded coalition to one sustained by the stakeholders and partners at the end of the five year engagement with healthy people, healthy Carolinas. So there's several requests within this application. The first is to accept the funds from ECU Health Duplen Hospital from the Duke Endowment in the amount of $100,000. Additionally is to approve any signed associated agreements or contracts related to this funding pending approval by the county attorney. Three is to create a public health educator three position at a grade 66 with a minimum salary of $51,515.84, which will be the Duplen Coalition for Health Program Coordinator and then the improvement of their budget amendments for this fiscal year. So moved. So have a motion and a second to accept the grant fund from ECU helps Duplin Hospital and the Duke and Boundwork Grant number 7121-SP in the amount of $100,000 approved for the Chairman to sign any associated agreements. Contract created to this funding pending approval by the county attorney, and approved to create a public educator three position at a grade 66 with a minimum salary of $51,515.84 as the Dukeman Coalition for Health Program Coordinator and our approved associated budget amendments. Any questions or comments? Just for clarification, Mr. Tracy, this position we're creating is paid for out of the budget, out of the budget of the grant funding. Yes, that is correct. And it will expire at the conclusion of the grant. Yes. Okay. All right. Any more questions? Is that person already in house or are we going to reach out to that position? It has to be posted. So now we will work to create the job description and to post through the Office of State Human Resources. All right, do you have any more questions? Here none. All in favor say aye. All opposed. Motion carries. All right. Move to someone to item number 10. Mr. Tweed Rawhlens, our county planner. Mr. Foster, Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith, I appear before you tonight for two items on the agenda. The first is the approval of the engineering services contract for the Adams company regarding the Magnolia Magno-Yaudium Demolition. This has been delayed a little bit because they have changed an ownership and they've just formalized that in the last couple of weeks and they are moving fast forward. The execution of this contract will allow for Asbestos testing to start next week. I met with the principal of the company today and confirmed that based on the results of that, if there's not a lot of asbestos then he will formally start putting out for a contract for demolition of the building. If there's a lot of asbestos in it then they will use the current grant funds of $31,000 to remediate the Asbestos. And this is a grant by the state and we'll call on officer resiliency and recovery. So I'm asking that you approve the contract so that we can move forward and get this other three in the middle. All right, you've heard the recommendation. Pleasure to board. So I'm gonna sit. Have a motion and a second to approve your agreement for engineering and inspection service between Duke and County and the Adams Company incorporated for the Magno-Juman Disable Auditorium Demolition Project and authorized the vice chairman to sign the same any questions? Yes, before we move forward, in terms of the question that Commissioner or Sutherland had referencing $231,000. Where is that coming from? I'm not familiar with that amount Commissioner Branch it's 131,000 that stayed awarded for the county to manage to demo that building. I know that I talked with the town manager and the town had, I believe it was $25,000 from the insurance settlement, if needed could be used to do the demolition, but the grant awards only $131,000. And again, that is to go towards demolition. Yes. I think in pertaining to review. No, sir. OK. It is sir. Okay. It is proper. Yeah, you had it in that. The confusion may be, it was my understanding some months ago that the town had actually applied for funding for the rebuilding or the construction of a new community center for the lack of a better term. I don't know how much the town was awarded. Like Mr. Rollins alluded to. We were just a pass-through agency to facilitate the funds to actually do the demolition of the site, and then the town was going to apply for additional funding to construct a community center that they would own and operate. The question I have, I just want to make sure we're clear on this and I've got a clear understanding of it. The 131,000 change grant that we received for the given issue. If that we approve this and the item goes out and test last bestest. Yes sir. And it takes the whole 131,000 to remediate the asbestos from the building. Yes, sir. The building is still standing. We're not on to take down, we can't influence, correct? You are absolutely correct. We would have to go and apply for another grant from the North Carolina Officer Residence in recovery to finish the demolition. We're all praying there's not much asbestos. If the asbestos can be mediated from the building, then we've got $131,000 to do that with and also demolish the building if it cares the stand for. Yes, sir. And at this time, I would just want to reference that commission or so then. Is that pretty much clear up the questions that you had I'm trying to see if that's the same. Yes ma'am, she alluded if we needed that, that that would be available for the demolition project. Yes ma'am. All right, so we have a motion and a second. There's some on the floor. All in favor of the motion that was read. Signify the same eye. All opposed? Motion carries. The second item on the agenda that I'm requesting. Mr. Vice Chairman and commissioners is to set a public hearing for your March 6 meeting. Sometime ago in December, some time ago in December, started the process of the revisions amendments to our developmental illnesses. And in order to do that, we have to have a public hearing. It has passed the planning board with their full recommendation. I'm also going to be meeting with the airport board and the Economic Development commission to get their recommendation And that all falls in line. So in March to 6 we'd have a public hearing with the proposed amendments Those amendments are basically setting up a board of adjustment For hearing any appeals Barrens is for any of the permitting processes that we have here in the county All right, you've heard the recommendation in the pleasure of the board. Most to approve. Appalemation and I have a second. Think. I have a motion to schedule and the second to schedule a public hearing on March 6, 2023 to receive public comments regarding the voters' revisions to the airport, rooms and regulations ordinance, mobile home and tribal park ordinance. And the subdivision ordinance is required by North Carolina General Statute 160D. Any questions? Just to be clear, this is an opportunity for the public to come to express or no take concern surrounding any of these items as a list of correct any of the revisions that have been recommended yes or but that's their time to yes or okay at what point will we have the recommendations from the planning board and economic development board in your next agenda packet, Commissioner Edwards. Yes, sir. And with this, we still have a planning board. Oh, yes, sir. But you will also be recommending a board of adjustment. Yes, sir. And currently, the planning board is performing those tasks. Yes, sir. That is correct. What, I guess what was the reason in behind the board of justice? It's a multi-fold, basically it's best practices is recommended by the Institute of Governments with a surrounding local government are doing it. But it sets a separate body who has not had any communication for the issue to hear the appeal of the citizen so that they get the fairest hearing possible. And so it allows them to do that. Right now, if somebody goes to the planning board that has an issue and talks about it to them, that planning board member cannot vote. As we talked about in December prior to you taking your seat on the board the board of commissioners could do that but then your subject X partake communication so if they communicate with you you can't vote and so we're trying to be more fair to the citizens and have a stream line and be in best practices. All right we have them in more questions. We have a motion in a second on the floor. All in favor of the motion. Second, if I'll say it high. I'll oppose. Motion carries. Thank you. Thank you.
