Updates on the CCCC and Lee County School projects were also discussed. Mr. Crumpton stated with the CCCC and Board of Education school projects coming up no additional projects could be funded for 6-8 years. Commissioner Sloan joined the meeting during the above discussion at 1:10 p.m. Discussion on Partnerships — Commissioner Oldham discussed a Visitor Service Program that would promote arts, outdoor activities, and a visitor center among other things going on in the City - County. The Program would be funded from an additional hotel occupancy tax. He feels that Sanford - Lee County is missing out on not having a visitor center. SAGA recently discussed this and noted $60,000 in seed money would be needed to get the Program off the ground. An annual contribution of $25,000 from the City and County would also be needed. It was noted the additional occupancy tax will be considered in the upcoming legislation. It was noted of all the time and work the Lee County Board of Adjustment is putting in on the Little River Quarry hearings. Pay for volunteer boards was discussed. Mr. Crumpton was asked to check with other counties and see what, if anything they pay volunteer boards. The new Director of Triangle J, Lee Worsley, would like to come and meet the Board possibly at an upcoming budget work session. Chair Dalrymple updated the Board on a recent meeting she and the County Manager had with Tom Reeder from DEQ and Senator Ron Rabin. She is trying to schedule another meeting with the above plus someone from DHHS to talk about the Colon Road water issue.
