This is Jack, but I wanted to sign up for both the comments to mine, but if we did it a little bit, it was all that taken by everyone in the worst of it. If you make one ask, if the comment is the thing that it does, I'm like, is there any more fight the state. At this given point you got three men if you would. Because as you see it, the signless key was over in the corner. So you go to the wheel and get it back. You did the signless, but you might not have seen the key. If you would like to speak, just come up then the body. Is it just in public comments? I move to item number two. Mr. Brownson. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Good evening. Members of the board. members of the public. I am here before you tonight to present my recommended budget for physical year 2022 2023. We will have a power point over here that will illustrate some of the aspects of the budget for you. Okay, let's just not. The total budget for FY23, including general fund as well as our enterprise funds and other special revenue funds is $104,416,80 and 93. $104,416,080 and 93 cent. The general fund is up this year due to a rise, it's rising due to the implementation of the salary study and operational increases primarily fuel but due to inflationary increases on all goods and services that we're experiencing in the county. The general fund. The estimated revenues this year, this includes our abelorm taxes, our motor vehicle taxes, sales taxes, departmental revenues and state revenues. It's $63,994,111. The physical year 23 General Fund budget of $66,747,907 is in balance. With the tax rate of 71.5 per $100 of assess valuation plus a two-cent per $100 evaluation to be placed in a capital reserve fund for $2,753,796. Is an accepted practice to show an appropriation from our fund balance to balance the budget? This practice has limited the amount of the increase to the tax rate and or prevent an unnecessary reduction in services available to our citizens. Each year we strive to hold expenditures down and not to use our savings. The amount we are budgeting from fund balance for fiscal year 23 is $175,991 or 6% less than what was appropriated in the current physical year. Granted, this is a nominal decrease in comparison to the total budget, but it is nonetheless a decrease. General Fund Budget Highlights. This year we have an increase in the employer retirement contribution. County employees are members of the North Carolina local government retirement system. Employees contribute 6% of their compensation to the system. The county also makes a contribution on behalf of the employee. This year, and this is set by the North Carolina State Treasures Office through an actuary. This year, the increase for the local government employees is 0.73% and 1% for sworn law enforcement officers. Thus, the county will contribute 12.17% to each employee's retirement and for our law enforcement officers 13.04%. Our insurance cost, county employee health insurance is going up 3.9% over the current physical year. The amount budgeted per employee per month for health insurance is $838.68. We are also experiencing an increase to our property and liability insurance of about $67,166. According to the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners Risk Pool, who is our carrier for both property liability as well as workers comp insurance is the insurance the increase in property and liability can be attributed to the fact that our cyber insurance continues to escalate our cyber coverage doubled this year from five to $10,000. In addition, our law enforcement liability insurance also saw about an $8,000 increase. Property values for the county property were trended this year. Building materials are very high since the pandemic, which has made our reinsurance cost rise. Thus, our property coverage for named stormed coverage, flood and earthquake insurance went up $51,211. However, our workers' comp insurance did go down $38,476. Our property and liability insurance is $433,665. Our workers comp $301,900. The board voted on April 4th to implement option 3 of the Baker Tiller salary and compensation study in the upcoming physical year. The total cost is estimated to be $4.9 million with 4.5 in the general fund and about 415,000 for our enterprise funds. We are making use of American Rescue Plan Act funds in the form of revenue replacement to help offset the cost of the implementation of the updated pay plan. Our sales tax receipts in the upcoming year we are budgeting those to be flat. Capital request. This year the budget includes $1,038,769.38 in capital purchases for our departments. These include a transit van and a server for our IT department, a vehicle lift for the county garage, eight Dodge Durango patrol vehicles for the Sheriff's Office, consulates and a work station which are paid for with general fund expenditures and other 911 equipment and associated software which will be paid for with 911 funds. And these are funded benefit of our E 911 communications division of our Emergency Management Department. We are also purchasing a new ambulance, a remounted ambulance, a power load device, and a Ford F-150 for the Emergency Medical Services Department. We are purchasing a Ford F-150 with a dog box for our animal services department, a tractor with a side mower for our Cabin Lake County Park. The enterprise funds, the Public Transportation Department is purchasing three transit vehicles, and we are also purchasing a fort lift for our solid waste and recycling department. purchasing a fort left for our solid waste and recycling department. Our ad valorum tax total projected revenues are $31,644,897. This is an increase of about $1.4 million. I'll further address this as we move through the presentation. I'm also recommending the approval of two new positions in the General Fund Departments. One is an operations officer for the Emergency Medical Services Department and also a maintenance position at the events center. In the Enterprise Funds Department, I'm recommending the approval for the transition of two part-time transportation specialists or drivers in our public transportation department to full-time. This will be funded by the Public Transportation Department's Enterprise Fund and not as a general fund expenditure. This chart shows you the comparison revenues from fiscal year 22 to fiscal year 23. Okay. This chart shows you the expenditures. Most of the expenditures are up due to salary increases for our county employees. We are also increasing the amount that we are providing the Board of Education by $495,100 and to James Sprunk Community College by $135,495. This chart shows you the previous three physical years, the current physical year we're in, and also the upcoming physical year, physical year 23. As you can see, the tax rate has remained the same. This is the fourth consecutive budget year at 73.5%. The next line shows you how much one cent on the tax rate equates to this year one cent is 461,085 dollars, which is an increase of about 2.9%. The next line in yellow shows the values used to budget our revenues, used to budget our revenues the total value of all real property and public service property in Dupland County is $4 billion 233 million $344,572 for the motor vehicles it is $528,311 I'm sorry $528,311 dollars. I'm sorry, 528,311,935 dollars. That is an 11.63 percent increase over the previous physical year because of the rise in not only new but also used vehicles. We're budgeting to collect $900,000 in prior year budget collections. So the total budget did. Abelorm tax revenue is $,644,897 dollars. This year, budget versus actual right now, we have taken in about 158,577 dollars less than what we had budgeted to take in through the end of the physical year, but we're not there at the end of the physical year as of yet. But in motor vehicle taxes, we've already taken in 529,800 and $808 above what we had budgeted. And there again, that is due to the rising cost of vehicles. This chart shows our sales tax estimates. We are budgeting our sales tax collections in the next physical year to be flat. So for Article 39, which is the 1 cent point of sale, pure sales and use tax that the county gets we're budgeting that at 3,621 $581 article 40 30% of this is restricted for school capital. That's 1.5 cent sales tax We're budgeting again this year $3,248,652. In article 42, which is a half-cent sales tax 60% of which is restricted for school capital, we are budgeting to collect $182,418 and in article 44-524 which is set aside for economic development, public education and community colleges purposes. We are budgeting to collect $1,677,460 for total sales tax estimated collections of $8,730,111. Thus far this year we are about $230,531 above what we had budgeted to collect through the end of the fiscal year. We're being very conservative due to uncertain economic forecast and the looming possibility of an economic downturn in the latter part of 2022. The next slides I'm going to speak on our special revenue and enterprise funds. Our emergency telephone, which is a 911 fund that helps to fund our public safety answering point here in Kenensville, the budget is $281,541, which is less than last year because last year we incurred some additional expenses because we moved our backup center to Wayne County. Our capital reserve for education is basically flat at $3,154,273. The automation enhancement and preservation fund is a fund that is set aside for the automation and preservation of records in the registered deeds office. She's budgeted in 500 additional dollars this year. Property revaluation is a statutorily required that we set this money aside to help us with the revaluation of property. It's going up $126,087 this year, primarily to the fact that we are having to contract with Pearson's appraisal services due to our inability to recruit and retain property appraisers. The fire districts is budgeted at the fire districts is budgeted at $3,275,446. This is inclusive of the county's contribution to each fire department. It also includes the quarter cent sales tax that benefits the fire departments as well as their district fire taxes. Debt service is basically debt here on Dupland Commons, $4,575,465. ARPA funds, we are budgeting 9,275,302 dollars. This is less than last year because we have expended some funds on HVAC systems at the Health Department, Equipment for Emergency Management Department, COVID testing in our jail, and also bonuses for essential workers. The Water Fund, no capital purchases are proposed in this physical year. We are in the midst of a project with the Water Department to upgrade our SCATA system and are also discussing the need to add a new well site to enhance our ability to meet the demand of our growing customer base as well as a higher demand for our existing customers. Water debt service is flat at, well I'm sorry it's down actually $114,569 to $982,719 in the upcoming physical year. Our public transportation fund is $1,240,542. Airport $972,220. And our solid waste and recycling department $4,9,542. In the enterprise funds, the capital requests, again, we're buying some transit vehicles for our public transportation department. Three, in fact, at $70,085 each for a total of $210,255. This is just a regular rotation of our fleet and virtually all of that expenses covered by state and federal funds. Solid waste department is purchasing a fort lift. We also had increases to the insurance cost, the employer contribution to the local government retirement system, and also the implementation of the new pay plan across the enterprise fund as we did in a general fund department. Now let me speak for a moment on the solid waste and recycling department. This year I am requesting an increase in the solid waste availability fee by $20. The fee was established in 1992 and was said at $69 and remains steady at $69 in 1993. In 1994, the fee was increased to $90, which is where it remains currently. Thus, the fee has not been raised in 28 years. I'm also requesting an increase in the solid waste tipping fees as well by $10. This is what some call the gate fee and it's calculated when vehicles bring trash and other debris to the solid waste facility and their weighed and charged according to the tipping fee. Currently our tipping fee is $45 per ton. Our neighboring counties charge $55 to $75 a ton. I think raising the fee by $10 will put us more in line with our neighbors again, going from $45 to $55. Fund balance appropriated out of the enterprise fund this year is $92,272. The Solid Waste and Recycling Department requested a significant amount of capital capital purchase is totaling $843,137, but they are not being recommended for funding due to the dwindling fund balance in the Solid Waste and Recycling's Enterprise Fund. These day cab trailer trucks that they use to haul trash to the regional landfill in Samson County are very expensive. These roll-off trucks that you see hauling from our convenient sites in the county back to the transfer station on landfill road are very expensive. We need to regularly replenish our fleet but this year we can't do that because there simply isn't enough money to maintain the fund balance. If we do not immediately put in place a plan to begin to generate more revenue for the solid waste and recycling department, then we will completely deplete the fund balance, which will necessitate that the general fund begin to make an appropriation to ensure adequate cash flow to sustain operations. Mr. Chairman, that's all I have. I'm sorry. I do have a couple of other slides. I want to discuss with you about the schools. The next slide is Fund 22 School Capital Board of Education's capital requests $740,000, $45 estimated revenue to $175,000 negative and fund ballots appropriated $979,273. The next slide will show you all of the funding sources for our public schools and I know that's pretty small. But if anyone would like a copy of these slides after the meeting, you'll get with me. I'll make sure you get one. This year, as I stated earlier, we are increasing the contribution from the county to the current expenses for the school system by $495,100. That coupled with the debt service, the capital we give the school system for elementary schools and high schools brings the total general fund appropri year totals $3154,273. So all total, the county funding sources to the Board of Education for the public school system is $14,451,240. Future budget goals. In the upcoming fiscal year, Dupin County Government will begin the construction of two facilities to and initiate the planning for several other major capital projects. The Public Transportation Department will begin the construction of a new transit facility to be funded with a combination of federal, state, and local funds. I'm also recommending to the board that the Animal Services Department begin construction of a new animal care control and adoption facility to replace the current shelter that because of its age and size has become inadequate to meet the current needs of our county. This facility will be constructed using a combination of grants, loans and appropriation from the county's capital projects fund. The event center will make use of grant funding from the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services to add an access road and an additional paved parking area adjacent to the building in the first quarter of his school year, 23. In addition, Dupin County has received building in the first quarter of his year 23. In addition, Dupland County has received and is holding in reserve over $30.3 million from the General Assembly to be used for the planning and construction of a new emergency services complex, a new facility to co-locate the senior and veteran services departments and a new detention facility by our Sheriff's Office. The procurement of architectural and engineering services for the plan facilities will take place in early fiscal year 23 with construction of the senior and veteran services center likely to begin by the end of fiscal year 23. But due to the scope and complexity of the emergency services complex and the detention facility projects construction on those facilities were not likely to begin until at least fiscal year 24. In conclusion, the financial position of Dupont County is stable. Yet we must remain ever vigilant to assure that we continue to deploy sound financial reasoning as we make future budgetary decisions. Mr. Chairman, that's the presentation I have, I'll entertain any questions from the board or from the general public during the public comments section of the public hearing. Okay. Here we will, this is what I would like to officially open this up as a public hearing and each and every one of you have just first representation feel free to ask any questions to Mr. Brunson or any one else about our visit point because this is our visual public area. Yes, Mr. Mayor? Mr. Maynard, I'm going to need you to come up here to the microphone because this is being recorded and Audience likes to listen to this on the internet My name is Angela B. Maynard and I just wanted to know the future budget go. What did you say you said 30 million? 343. Okay. So, a question. See you thought I'd wear something already. Thank you. Please do agree worry, the couple. I know there is a lot of information, and then you got to quit, and it is hard to digest at all, but say, token, I think he said that he would provide some slides of it if you want to have some further information to study on but like I said, you've got a question. Now is the time. Our job is to serve you and we want to hear from you to make sure that we're looking to what you want. Please feel free to come forward. One more change. All right. Dispolling on the floor is dependent on the hearing. There's even the commissioners that have any questions or comments they would like to make. Okay. This is Greg's job. This is who's going to a great job. This is smooth, it was driving to high number three. Okay. You need to take a smaller room or something to get started and not. I think I'm good and I don't want to scare the audience, but this is going to be a lot shorter, I promise. You can have missed shields to come up. The county is also required to hold a public hearing every year on our economic development budget and the funds that we plan to expand for economic development in the county in the upcoming fiscal year. So the first and last slide. For fiscal year 23, we're budgeting to spend on salary and fringe in our economic development department, $157,715. Our operating budget is $63,080. And economic incentives to our local business and industry, $1,052,749 for a total expenditure on economic development activities of $1,273,544. And I will make myself and miss shields available for any questions you may have. So officially we're open in this as the public here. And saying this before, they'll bring come up to podium and have any questions that human like to one of the members When we're done, it'll be gone. So you know, I'm going to make it a great way this way. I'm going to close the public here. Anyone who has the measures has a question or a comment. I don't know. To the public, I would just like to make sure to be aware that we do have a planning committee planning the parliament within the county. So let us, and I think the stalls here tonight to know any questions you may have after the fact. But it's very important that we hear from you that you get involved and participate and share your thoughts and ideas about what you would like to see take place here in the county. We may have a lot of knowledge as in terms of what we may think but as the chair said earlier, we're here as a voice at an extension of each and every one of you. So I ask, you know, the boy, you get involved, go to the meetings, listen in on what's taking place, what's coming up. And if you have a different way of looking at it or a different way that we may need to approach it, we would like to hear about it. And there's ways that that can be accommodated. We often hear things out of the fact. And I know sometimes it may be a little interesting that we put on a spot to come up and share, but if you don't talk to us, we have to make the best decision based on the little bit that we do from our citizens. So, again, please give them all these time and please share so that we can do this together so that in the result it will be something that you had your fingerprint on other than just thinking they come directly from your commission. That's the story. OK. Just to follow that on back, I think I do speak for a hearing commissioner. Feel free to talk with us individually, I mean. Sometimes it's some people don't like to come up with a podium and speak and I can understand that. But at the same time, I think everyone of us would be more than happy to listen to it and give us a call. Our numbers are posted on the way inside, but if we do want to read along, I will really appreciate your sense tonight and I would like to see you back so you know as Mr. Frank, and we are here to try to put this camera in a manner that you would like to see it from the health and football. That's it Mr. President. That news is out of number 4. Thank you Mr. Chairman. Members of the board, I appear before you now to... I'm not officially done here. I thought you did.

The JSCC Board of Trustees, through their chairperson, Ms. Resanita Powers has respectfully requested that Ms. Seryles be reappointed for another four-year term beginning July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2026. Sure move. I got a motion to thank the Korea Board and the House for about a full list of hours for over a couple of years to turn. Begin in July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2016, the James Buckley County Board of Trustees in the public session. All in favor say aye. Good afternoon. All in the ladies and gentlemen members of the board. I appear before you to request to award the re-roofing contract for the Dupin County Health Department. The Dupin County Health Department's roof is leaking. The water penetration has caused some damage to sealing tile grids, sealing tiles, sheet rock, carpeting, furniture, etc. In the past, in order to try to address the water penetration of the roofing system, both the county maintenance and facilities department, as well as contractors hired by the county have applied sealants and taken other measures in an attempt to stop the leaks but without success. At the request of myself and the Assistant County Manager, Futual Engineer Jerry Moorefield conducted a preliminary inspection of the roofing system and suggested a water test be undertaken in a attempt to identify the source of the leaks. This test was carried out by our maintenance department, but as reported to the board in February it failed to identify the source of the water penetration. Therefore, Mr. Moore failed to determine that the only adequate measure that can be undertaken to properly address the existing leaks and the improper installation of the original metal roof system is replacement of the entire roof with a standing seam metal roofing system. On February the 7th, 2022, the board accepted the proposal from and voted to contract with Morfield Engineering for the evaluation, re-roofing planning, creation of specifications, and bidding services for the re-roofing project. The advertisement was released on April 26, 2022. It was posted on our county's website, as well as the state hysterically underutilized businesses website, and was emailed to 240 vendors registered with state hub offices well. The pre-bid conference was held on May 10th at the Health Department and the bids were received on May 24, 2022 by the Dukeland County Finance Office. DLT Roofing Inc. was low bidder at a base bid of $471,202. I am recommending that the bid for the re-roofing project be awarded to DLT Roofing Inc. And that contract negotiations begin immediately in order that the project construction phase can begin as soon as possible. Senator Gordon.

All the other things are here. Mr. Chairman of May. Ms. Milter King, Chairperson of the Kingsville ABC Board, was scheduled to appear before you next. Ms. King is unable to be here tonight, but she has sent Mr. Jeffrey Whitehead. but she has sent Mr. Jeffrey Whitehead. He is a member of the Kingsway ABC Board. He will be making the presentation. That is Jeffrey Whitehead. Okay. Mr. Whitehead, you come forward. Good afternoon, Chair and Mayor Board. Fellow Chairmen, I stand before you on today to discuss very brief little situation that we're having at the Kenanville ABC store. We want to, what we want to do there is do some work in the parking lot. We want to provide these parking places around the ABC store on the left side as well as the right side. Now I live right down the street from the liquor store and it can be quite congestive at times around there and can be quite dangerous at times around there. So what we wanted to do was look at the suspension of the profits to the county as well as the town that we may be able to do this repair work around the liquor store. It's something that we've been looking at for a while. I believe liquor store was built in 1960. It was built in 1960. There's not had been a whole lot of work done to it. Since then, however we have done several things just to make it better on the inside to improve with the roof work and all of that, the chimney works, and stuff like that. But however, it's still causing us a problem as far as the end and out traffic at the ABC store right now. We haven't had the accident, anything up there like that, but people are parking anywhere and everywhere when they come to the ABC store. So what we want to do is we want to get some paved parking spaces as well as a parking space for the handicap personnel. Close to the rail that goes up to the liquor store and allows them to be able to go into the door. We want to assist our clients as well as we possibly can. But right now we're struggling with that. Some of the clients that come our store attendance. They will call and tell them what they want and they'll take it out to them so they'll have to get out and struggle to come into the store. So this is just an improvement they will want to make around the store as far as the parking is concerned. I think we're probably looking at it. We're from five to ten parking spaces on each side of the ABC stool. And that way people be the park correctly. Like they should be the park right now. They're using the driveway to go in and out. And that's where they're parking at right in the driveway. So we've got people parking actually on the main highway waiting for someone to get out so they can come in and park. So that's what we would like to do. And if that is in any way, any way possible for us to be able to take a suspension of Kennedy or ABC profit distribution. To do it in Canada, if we could, if we could suspend that, we would be able to do what we need to do to accommodate, to accommodate around the ABC store in Kennedy field. So that's what we're looking for to do right now. That's our major project that we're working on And I believe that's about the last one that we're going to look at We've had a lot of work done to it Where as opposed to the chimneys you stand above the building we knock those down and made the level put a new roof on it the old nine yards So we don't want we need to make the business lucrative and So we don't want we need to make the business lucrative and to keep it going. But we also want to be safe and we also want to be accessible to people who are able, as well as people who are not able. And that's what I wanted to talk to you all about today. If there's any way possible that we could get that done, it would be greatly and highly appreciated by the ABC board in Canisville. the end of their profit distribution so that they can use this money to make their end of the business or even not online. I make a motion to suspend profit distribution for fiscal year 2021-22. So I have a motion that I'm saying that the suspend the profit distribution so that they can use that money in a photo discussion. Yes sir, I'm going to give you a great report about how much money this is and what should I give to the problem? I think it is $10,000 to $16,000 a year that comes to the county. There's that joy to require to be committed at nothing to the county, to the town, 100% of her profit, 55% of all the county, 45% of the town, the town, the town is all worth it, we have fair share of the profit, I think. And I've just done this with with the chairperson of the county. When they're building their budget, I think and I've assessed it with with your person's pain. But they're revealing their budget that she says not something happened to the hospital because they have a history of accident. They have no reserve to draw on. So I think this is just a much painful one year suspension of their distribution to the panel. That's absolutely correct. I guess what we're looking for is a step up, if you will, a hand from the board to do what we need to be able to do and we'll be able to maintain from that point. You know, call the police. Paralyze the training. Yes sir, I do your problem. We're probably looking at that. We've had a couple of estimates. One was at like 45,800, no more 49, 350. How do you suppose to do that? I wish I was a liberty speaker but I don't know exactly how they're going to go about that. Miss Milton King has that all worked out right now and the way that everything looks is going to fit right in. It shouldn't be a problem. You just made a completed project this year? Yes sir, we would like to have a completed this year. Yes sir. Yes sir. As soon as we get the approval, we would like to have completed this year. Yes sir. Yes sir. As soon as we get the approval we would like the To start only get it done Any thoughts on the way? All that's right to say aye All opposed? Thank you. Thank you sir Thank you. Thank you, sir. All right, I move now to the number 10. Good evening, commissioners. Here before you tonight seeking approval of a new jail health contract. As you know, Dr. Nau, our current provider has decided not to submit a proposal for continued services at the jail. She will continue and has agreed to continue to serve through the end of this fiscal year, June 30, 2022. If this contract is approved, Southern Health will take over at that point, they will provide the service from July 1, 2022 through June 20, 2023. That contract can thereafter be extended upon mutual agreement of the parties if things are going well. The contract total fee under the contract is $2002,500. That's the base fee and hopefully it would not go off. There are some contingencies in the contract that would allow a per-dium rate if the number of prisoners exceeds the projected one-fifteen average, but we've run the numbers on that. I helped the, or the sheriff's office help me. We reviewed the data over the last few years. If we're comfortable with that projection at 115, the provider, the proposal would bring us into full compliance with all current North Carolina jail health standards and other applicable regulations. So assuming no questions from the commissioners I'm here on behalf of the sheriff's office asking for a motion to approve the inmate, health care, patient and services contract, I mean, the Southern Health partners, corporate, and the beginning of the period, if you do not want to win any, when you do the routine, you're going to win any coming three, any further steps. Here in none, all the voters are at. All opposed, same side, here. Thank you, Mr. Wilson, that was the time number 11 today. Thank you, Mr. Chairman, members of the board. I appear before you now to present a bid on a portion of parcel number 11-E 108 located on West Church Street in the town of Rose Hill in the Rose Hill Township. It was purchased by Dupland County on March 24, 2017 for $6,999.51. When the county purchased the property it consisted of .91 acres. In 2018 we constructed an EMS station, Metac7 on .52 acres of the property at the corner of South Pine Street and West Main Street. I respectfully request that the board declare the remaining .39 acre lot on West Church Street shown on the map recorded in MacBook 33 page 220 of the Duke County Registry as surplus property. A bid was received from Miss Pamela Bannerman Smith on May 13, 2022 for $8,000. The board can either accept the bid and advertise for upset bids, pursuant North Carolina General Statute 168, 269, or it can reject the bid. I'm recommending that you accept the bid and advertise for upset bids. I got a motion and I decided to be set the bid. But it doesn't have to take just a minute for the commissioner to honor me back in place. back in place. Mr. Narner, we've got a motion on the second to assess the bill of $139 for $39 vehicle partial. 11-E-108 located on the west search street for $8,000 and advertise to the city in Cummings. Here in the town hall is where we say aye. You may have. Thank you, Mr. Chairwoman. I have a number of questions. This is Emma Moore. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Good evening, commissioners. I'm here tonight to request a signature on a memorandum of understanding which is abbreviated MOU. The MOU is an agreement between the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services and the county. The MOU was put in place in 2018 for all 100 counties. This agreement is before you for the fiscal year of 2022 through 23 and for 2023 through 2024. There are seven programs that the state will monitor for our performance measures and those programs are the energy, work first, food and nutrition, special assistant, child support, child welfare and adult protective services. And the performance measures will be monitored on a monthly or annual basis. understanding between the North Carolina Department helped the New England Services and Duke and Danny for the social services program and allow the chairman and the county manager to sign any public discussion. Here in the middle of the table say aye. All right, the man. Thank you. Thank you. And Liz is on the third thing is Liz the stock. I'm here tonight first to discuss a lease agreement with the Chinkapun Recreation Association. The board accepted a proposal for a five-year lease term with the Chink Pinn Recreation Association at the April 4th meeting and a public notice was published in the Dupland Times on April 14th for a 30-day notice period which ended May 14th. I have worked with the county attorney to prepare a lease with the association and the representative Joshua Rodriguez has signed the same and the representative Joshua Rodriguez has signed the same and has paid the rent for the five-year period. So I'm here to request that the board here approve the five-year lease with Chinkapen Recreation Association and authorize the chairman to sign the lease. Thank you. Next up, I have an amendment one to contract with insight, planning and development for our hazard mitigation grant program, Hurricane Florence Expedited Acquisition Program, Dupland County signed a contract in May of 2020 for consultant services for the HMGP Expedited Acquisitions Program, which has been managed by insight planning and development. Since then, the county has also executed a memorandum of agreement with North Carolina Emergency Management to participate in the state acquisition and relocation fund program, which is also known as SARF. This program goes hand in hand with HMGP. Amendment 1 to the contract for consultant services includes the administration of SAARF with HMGP and the amendment has been reviewed and approved by the county attorney. So I'm here to request approval of amendment one for the addition of the state acquisition and relocation fund administrative services and authorize the chairman to sign. Ladies and gentlemen, sir. We have a motion then to select any further discussion. All in favor say aye. All opposed? Here. All right. Thank you. And lastly, I'm here to request that a public hearing be scheduled at the June 20th meeting for the adoption of the Dupland County Land Use Plan. The General Assembly enacted legislation in 2020 that made Chapter 160D effective in June of 2020 and counties and cities that have zoning ordinance must have an up-to-date comprehensive plan or land use plan by July 1st of 2022 and although Dupland County does not have county-wide zoning we do have zoning just around the airport which makes us it's a requirement for us to have an updated plan. The Dupland County Planning Board has been coordinating with our consultant in site planning and development to develop the land use plan to be adopted by the July 1st deadline. And part of that adoption is having a public hearing. Mr. Perkins. the well this and we have and we'll continue to have will be around the airport and that's a requirement of the FAA yes for the lane we could either do the comprehensive plan or the land use plan and the planning board decided to do the land use plan for cost effectiveness. I oppose here. Okay, thank you. Thank you. Mr. Gears. Good evening, Mr. Chairman and members of the board. I'm here tonight to request approval for a required county match for a project ACC and the adoption of a resolution to support the project. Project ACC is a cabinet manufacturing company seeking to relocate closer to the port. Total job creation is 139. Total investment is 13.3 million. The state requires a 5% match from the state government or from the county government excuse me for the rule building reuse grant. I'm asking that the Board of Commissioners approve this request and grant the 5% match which is $18,750 that is required by the state also to approve the resolution and sign the building reuse grant application. The overall incentive package for this company is an JDIG grant, which is a job development investment grant in the amount of $1,209,000. A rural building reuse development grant is $375,000. Customized training for James Brown Community College is $208,500 and the total one cent of package from the state to incentivize this company to move to Dupland County is $2,360,250. To obtain this, the county would be required to match only the 5% which is $18,750. Motion to approve. The other motion on the slate is to approve the five-slit and batch of the 18-bag and for $7,000, $180,000, $180,000, $8,000, $8,000, $6,000. Any further discussion? I'll put the resolution. I thought I had it all in the morning. Okay, excuse me. Thank you. If anyone was what was clear when we voted the motion, doing I accepted it and just as not what you meant, we'll correct it, but the motion was the first five sentences, the rest you grant in the amount of $18,750 to adopt the resolution in support of the property ACC and allow the chair to sign and the MCMR school building, with the risk sheet and infrastructure applications from for the project ACC. That was what I did the most. That's correct. Everybody loaded that way. This was for the review. Read. All right. Thank you. We're correct. Move on. Thank you. All right.

Dr. Tina Joelle Kennedy Parker as the dentist, Ms. Alen Carr gear as a public member. Craig Westreore gear as a public member. Craig Westrobeek as a public member and Dr. Erica Brown as the optometrist. So moved. We're going to motion on the selected. Any public discussion? All the members say aye. All opposed? Here. Thank you. We'll be right in the room. All right. The next item is in regards to the breastfeeding peer counselor program. The breastfeeding peer counselor program is to increase breastfeeding initiation and duration among women participants within the local health department. It's aIC program. Through enrollment in mothers too, mothers pre-breast feeding support and education. North Carolina receives special funding from the United States Department of Agriculture to build and sustain breast feeding peer counselor programs within the local health departments. WIC's program funding for the breastfeeding peer counselor is allocated through USDA special supplement nutrition program for WIC award NC 705, 7 CFR 246 CFDA 10.557. The request tonight is three actions. One is to accept the breastfeeding peer counselor AA 415 funding for physical year 22 23 for total of $36,000 $36,000 $90. And then additionally we would like to reclass the community health technician position.

The Health Department wrote a grant to support a percentage of the salary and fringe for a clinical pharmacist practitioner, a public health nurse, and a bilingual medication assistance coordinator as part of the department's integrated care team to support chronic disease management and medication assistance. So I would like to ask for the acceptance of this grant North Carolina Officer Royal Health State Physical Year 2023 Community Health Grant for a total of $145,000 and for a budget amendment for physical year 2223.

Consider the consideration of the current medical office assistant position to a process assistant 4. Additionally, this medical office assistant position is the only position title within the county's current job class. Additionally, it's appending approval from the North Carolina Office of State Human Resources. This funding, the changes in the grade with the salary benefit, I'm sorry, excuse me, budget impact is not on the county, it's not any county appropriated funds, it's totally weak supported funds for this position. Okay. I think the motion, please. Motion to approve. We have a second. Hey, I have a motion in a second to replace side of the extended wall of the system.

As a PHN 3 slash WIC Director, the WIC Director's job description is attached for your review and additionally this is appending approval from the North Carolina Office of State Human Resources.

This grant was written to allow the health department to continue to focus on pre-divities and diabetes treatment and prevention programs to promote self-management, prevention of complications, and improve quality of life for the uninsured and underinsured individuals. As a medical home patients can receive testing supplies such as glue cometers, test strips and lances, as well as labs such as their A1C and lipid panel, and medication assistance if they're uninsured, and diabetes education to aid in the management of their diabetes. So two parts to this, the first one is to accept the Biden Health Community Benefits Grant for $15,000. And then the second one was the approval of a budget amendment for 223, which probably will have to be like the other grant as of July. Make a motion to accept the grant.
