Commissioner Dalrymple moved to approve the FY 2014 -15 Budget Procedure Calendar as presented, a copy of which is attached to these Minutes and by this reference made a part hereof. Upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Dalrymple, Knecht, Parks, Reives, Smith, and Womack Nay: None Absent: Frazier The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously. The Board considered a request from the Board of Education to sell property that had been added at the beginning of the meeting. County Manager John Crumpton stated the Board of Education has requested that the County waive their right of first refusal so they can sell a small piece of property near the Greenwood School that has been declared surplus. Under North Carolina General Statutes §§ 115C -518 and 160A -269, the Board of Commissioners has the right of first refusal to purchase the property. Since the property clears up a title and ownership issue for an adjoining property owner, and the amount of property would be of no use to the Count, Mr. Crumpton recommended the County waive its right and allow the Board of Education to sell the property. After discussion, Commissioner Reives moved to grant the Board of Education's request to sell the property in question and waive the County's right of first refusal to purchase it. Upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Dalrymple, Knecht, Parks, Reives, Smith, and Womack Nay: None Absent: Frazier The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously. The Board discussed a Resolution added to the agenda at the beginning of the meeting opposing the NCSBA School Voucher Lawsuit against the State of North Carolina and the participation of the Lee County School Board in that lawsuit. Commissioner Womack presented said Resolution for discussion only and asked the Board to review and consider at the February 3rd meeting of the Board. No action was taken.
