<br />Nature Center site in an amount not to exceed $28,000. The County was also notified that to run three
<br />phase power to the site, Duke Energy has to run a line a considerable distance. The cost for that line is
<br />$25,000. The architect is currently reviewing the A/C systems to see if a single phase solution can be
<br />used. If this can be done, the cost to the County will be zero. However, the decision to run the line
<br />needs to be made before the November 21St meeting. It was noted that Duke Energy has agreed to run
<br />the power line for $25,000. A total of $53,000 will come out of contingency funds for the power issue.
<br />After discussion, Commissioner Frazier moved to approve Amendment # 2 to the architecture contract
<br />with HH Architecture and the change order for three phase power as presented. Upon a vote, the
<br />results 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 a request from the Sanford/Lee County Regional Airport Authority.
<br />County Manager John Crumpton stated the Airport Authority has two economic development projects
<br />that will require the Authority to expand the corporate hangar area at the airport. The proposed $3.85
<br />million local match will require a local match of $350,000. The airport property tax reserve fund is down
<br />to $83,000. The Authority also has other projects that are forthcoming that will require $35,000 of the
<br />reserve to be used. These projects involve expanding the sewer capacity at the airport. In addition to
<br />the $3.5 million grant from the State, the Authority is also seeking $2 to $4 million in grants for sewer
<br />line extension to the airport. The County's agreement with the City requires that the City and County
<br />fund any capital projects where the reserve fund does not have the money at 50 percent. After
<br />discussion, Commissioner Oldham moved to approve the capital grant funding to the Airport Authority
<br />for $175,000 and the release of $35,000 from the Airport Reserve Fund. Upon a vote, the results were
<br />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 />Commissioner Frazier moved to go into Closed Session to consult with the county attorney to
<br />protect the attorney-client privilege per North Carolina General Statute §143-318.11(a) (3) in reference
<br />to Deborah Hamilton vs. Lee County Department of Social Services, and to consider a personnel
<br />matter per North Carolina General Statute §143-318.11(a) (6). Upon a vote, the results were as
<br />follows:
<br />Aye: Dalrymple, Frazier, Knecht, Oldham, Reives, Sloan, and Smith
<br />Nay: None
<br />The Chair ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously and the Board was in Closed
<br />Session. Upon returning from Closed Session, with all members present, the regular meeting resumed.
<br />With no further business to come before the Board, Commissioner Frazier moved to adjourn the
<br />meeting. Upon a vote, the results were as follows:
<br />Aye: Dalrymple, Frazier, Knecht, Oldham, Reives, Sloan, and Smith
<br />Nay: None
