BK:00028 PG -0225 <br />Aye: Dalrymple, Frazier, Knecht, Oldham, Reives, Sloan, and Smith <br />Nay: None <br />The Chair ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously. <br />The Board considered an Amendment to North Carolina Commerce that had been added to the <br />Agenda at the beginning of the meeting. County Manager John Crumpton stated the North Carolina <br />Department of Commerce has approved an Amendment to the Atlantic Hydraulics Building Renovation <br />Project that required the creation of 11 new, full-time jobs, above the baseline employment level of 26. <br />Funds were awarded to Lee County (Grantee) on August 22, 2012 and expired on August 22, 2014. A <br />total of $108,786.70 was paid to Lee County for said project. Since the specified job creation was not <br />completed, the grant is now in default. Owners of Atlantic Hydraulics and Economic Development <br />Director Bob Joyce met with the Department of Commerce and worked out a Contract Amendment. The <br />Amendment in question, if approved by the Board of Commissioners, will now terminate on April 30, <br />2017. After discussion, Commissioner Oldham moved to approve Amendment # 2 with the North <br />Carolina Department of Commerce for the Atlantic Hydraulics Building Renovation Project, a copy of <br />which is attached to these Minutes and by this reference made a part hereof. Upon a vote, the results <br />were as follows: <br />Aye: Dalrymple, Frazier, Knecht, Oldham, Reives, Sloan, and Smith <br />Nay: None <br />The Chair ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously. <br />The Board considered an Agreement for the Purchase and Sale of Real Property and an Option <br />Agreement to Purchase Real Property located on S. Vance Street that had been added at the beginning <br />of the Agenda. County Manager John Crumpton presented said Agreement and Option and stated the <br />Agreement for the Purchase and Sale of Real Property was between the County of Lee (Purchaser) and <br />Brick Capital Community Development Corporation (Seller). The Agreement states Brick Capital owns 8 <br />tracts of real property and the County of Lee desires to purchase said tracts, along with the Option to <br />Purchase Real Property located on S. Vance Street at a later date. It was noted the Agreements have <br />not been reviewed by legal counsel (Attorney Neil Yarborough) at this time. Bond proceeds will be <br />needed before the purchase can be finalized. Attorney Tim Smith, sitting in for County Attorney Neil <br />Yarborough, stated he had briefly reviewed the contracts and feels they are good. Commissioner Reives <br />moved to approve the Agreement for the Purchase and Sale of Real Property. Commissioner Smith <br />moved to table the matter. He questioned why the County was going to purchase something that's <br />already been purchased with tax payer money at one time. He further questioned how Brick Capital got <br />in the financial situation they're in. Tax payers are on the hook to the (Brick Capital) Board of Directors <br />that haven't explained why they are in need of financial assistance. He further stated he felt the County <br />was bailing out another non-profit as the City did with HAVEN a couple of years ago. Further discussion <br />continued. Upon a vote of the tabled motion, the results were as follows: <br />Aye: Smith <br />Nay: Dalrymple, Frazier, Knecht, Oldham, Reives, and Sloan <br />The Chair ruled the motion failed with a 6 to 1 vote. <br />Upon a vote of the original motion to approve the Agreement for the Purchase and Sale of Real Property, <br />a copy of which is attached to these Minutes and by this reference, the results were as follows: <br />Aye: Dalrymple, Frazier, Knecht, Oldham, Reives, and Sloan <br />Nay: Smith <br />3 <br />
