BK:00028 PG:0356 Aye: Dalrymple, Frazier, Knecht, Oldham, Reives, Sloan, and Smith Nay: None The Chair ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously. Ms. Althea Thompson, Zoning Administrator with the Sanford/Lee County Planning and Development Office presented the third and final recommendation from the Lee County Planning Board for an amendment to the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) for a proposed amendment to add a definition of a "Yard Sale". Ms. Thompson stated the Planning Board recommended approval of the amendment to clarify that yard sales shall be permitted as an accessory to any residential use and shall not require a zoning permit. Design standards shall be included within the definition. Commissioner Reives moved to approve an Ordinance Amending the Lee County Unified Development Ordinance for Yard Sales, 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, Frazier, Knecht, Oldham, Reives, Sloan, and Smith Nay: None The Chair ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously. The Board considered the Tax Collector's Annual Settlement. Tax Administrator Mary Yow stated that each year the Tax Collector must make settlement with the governing body per North Carolina General Statute §105-373. As part of the settlement the governing board charges the Tax Collector with collecting taxes for the current fiscal year (FY 2017) and prior fiscal years with unpaid taxes. This "charge" gives the Tax Collector authority to use enforced collection measures and it gives legal notice that the tax lien is first in priority. After discussion, Commissioner Reives moved to approve the Affidavit of the Tax Collector, Tax Collector's FY 2016 Report, Resolution Approving Tax Collector's Annual Settlement for FY 2016 and Prior Years, and Order for Tax Collector to Collect Taxes, copies of which are attached to these Minutes and by this reference made a part hereof. Upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Dalrymple, Frazier, Knecht, Oldham, Reives, Sloan, and Smith Nay: None The Chair ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously. The Board next heard a report from County Attorney Whitney Parrish on the sale of property located at 109 South Third Street. Ms. Parrish told the Board that at the August 28, 2015 tax foreclosure sale, Lee County and the City of Sanford were the higher bidder in the amount of $6,883.50 for property located at 109 South Third Street. After the sale, Mr. Charles Brown contacted the County and asked to have the county's bid assigned to him. The approval to have the bid assigned to Mr. Brown was placed on the November 2, 2015 Commissioners agenda. The item was deferred at that meeting until the City made a decision. Two other individuals have also requested to have the county's bid assigned to them (Mr. Cecil Williams and Mr. Anthony Hall). Due to the time period that has lapsed, and after discussion with the City Attorney, it has been decided to go through the foreclosure process and then sell the property as surplus property. The three individuals interested in the property will be notified of the decision to move forward with the foreclosure process. No action was taken. The Board considered a voting delegate for the upcoming August North Carolina Association of County Commissioners (NCACC) Conference in Forsyth County. The Association asks each county to appoint a voting delegate to take care of business during the business session. Commissioner's
