OCIG B-z 17 pzGE 813 The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously. Chairman Hincks directed Reggie Scales to ask the Planning Board to revisit a 1996 provision to the Lee County Zoning Ordinance as it relates to the size of a tract of land and whether a home of a family member can be placed on said tract that has been zoned residential/agricultural. This request is being made due to the number of telephone calls he has received from County residents. Chairman Hincks announced that Lee County had been awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting from the Government Finance Officers Association for the third consecutive year. Chairman Hincks also announced that the Association had presented to Lisa Minter, Finance Director, an Award of Financial Reporting Achievement as the individual primarily responsible for the County earning the certificate. The Board considered a resolution that would petition the General Assembly to adopt a state-wide law that would require registration of all motorized all terrain vehicles (hereinafter ATV). The North Carolina General Assembly passed N.C. Gen. Stat. §14- 159.3 which made operation of an ATV on private property without the consent of the property owner a Class 2 Misdemeanor. Sheriff Billy Bryant informed the Board that it is difficult to enforce this law in that once the trespass is reported and a deputy can be dispatched, the operator of the ATV has left the area. A registration system would be helpful to locate the owner of the ATV. After discussion, Commissioner Adams moved to adopt the resolution submitted to the Board, a copy of which is attached hereto and made a part of these minutes. Upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Adams, Garner, Hincks, Matthews, Paschal, and Sauls Nay: None Absent: Reives The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously. The Board considered a contract between the City of Sanford and Lee County for Wastewater Treatment Services. The City of Sanford is pursuing additional funds through the 1998 Clean Water Bond Act and needs written documentation that it serves as a regional system providing wastewater treatment services to other entities, customers or governmental units. After discussion, Commissioner Garner moved to approve the agreement between the City of Sanford and Lee County as presented. Upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Adams, Garner, Hincks, Matthews, Paschal, and Sauls Nay: None Absent: Reives The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously. 6
