County Manager John Crumpton <br />stated the County currently has many old vehicles in the current fleet that need to be replaced (some as <br />old as 1992). Based on "new vehicle justification" General Services, Sheriff Department, Animal <br />Control, SRO's, Jail, Health, Social Services, Senior Services, Library and Recreation are scheduled to <br />receive new vehicles. Commissioners had questions on the size of some vehicles to be purchased. It <br />was noted that Social Services receives 50% revenue on the purchase of new vehicles and COLTS <br />vans are purchased through grants. Commissioner Oldham stated he would like to see a comparison <br />on "lease arrangements" instead of purchasing new vehicles. Mr. Crumpton was asked to do more <br />research on the purchase of new vehicles. <br />Other items briefly discussed was funding for Johnston -Lee -Community Action, sales tax <br />structure (per capital vs. ad valorem), increase in Parks & Recreation budget, communication system <br />for the Sheriff's Department, increase in Juvenile Detention funds, increase in Animal Control budget, <br />and questions in reference to the Juvenile Crime Prevention Council Program (JCPC). <br />County Manager John Crumpton stated he had received an email stating that permits were <br />issued today (6/5/15) for coal ash storage in Lee and Chatham counties. He and Chair Dalrymple will <br />be meeting with Duke and Charah representatives in the coming weeks to discuss well testing and <br />reports to the citizens in the area on the time line that will be taken for the project. <br />Mr. Crumpton also discussed a position reclassification for a vacant position in General <br />Services. There is currently an open position in General Services that he would like to change from <br />Deputy General Services Director to County Engineer. The department is in need of someone with <br />more engineering expertise at this time. The reclassification will cost approximately an additional <br />$2,000 and the individual selected will report to Administration and not General Services. When the <br />current General Services Director retires the County Engineer will replace him at General Services. Mr. <br />Crumpton further stated he would be advertising for someone with a Professional Engineering (PE) <br />degree. <br />With no further business to come before the Board, Commissioner Frazier moved to adjourn the <br />Budget Work Session. Upon a vote, the results were as follows: <br />Aye: Dalrymple, Frazier, Oldham, Reives, and Sloan <br />Nay: None <br />Absent: Knecht and Smith <br />The Chair ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously and the meeting adjourned at 3:26 <br />p.m <br />ATTEST: <br />Amy M. alrymple, Ch it <br />Lee County Board of Commissioners <br />NORTH CAROLINA, LEE COUNN <br />Presented for registration on fis 1-'1—d <br />of 320, �.—att� M <br />recorded in Book 1."7_�a9e <br />Pamela G.
