605 <br />• Removing the Clearwater area from Cape Fear's property tax base may require the Cape Fear <br />tax rate to be increased by about .06 cent, resulting in a rate of 9.2 cents rather than the current 8.6 <br />rate. This increase is about the same as would be required if other options for obtaining a lower fire <br />protection rating for the Clearwater area were implemented, including establishing a fire station closer <br />to the Clearwater area. Mr. Ricky Taylor, President of the Cape Fear Fire Department discussed the <br />tax increase that Broadway would see if service is transferred to the City of Sanford. <br />All costs of providing the fire service would be recouped by levy of an additiohal fire protection <br />tax in the proposed Service Districts. After much discussion, Commissioner Oldham "�m ved to approve <br />a Resolution and Order to Establish Two Fire, Ambulance and Rescue Servic�e�Districts within the <br />Existing Cape Fear Rural Fire Protection District and Directing Staff to Tak�erActio for a Final Legal <br />Decision, a copy of which is attached to these minutes and by this reference made a part hereof. <br />Upon a vote, the results were as follows: N ? , <br />Aye: Hayes, Oldham, Parks, Paschal, Reives, Sho- P,eand Womack <br />Nay: None <br />The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted u <br />The Board, at this time, held a public hearing as advertiseak r. the Capital improvement Plan <br />(CIP) for FY 2012 -2016. County Manager John Crumpton outlined thepr6posed CIP that had been <br />presented to the Board of Commissioners at the March 21, 2011 regularmeeting. <br />Chairman Shook opened the public head ith'at -had been advertised for this date and time. <br />• No one present spoke in favor of or in opposition to t50 Capital Improvement Plan for FY 2012- <br />2016. <br />Chairman Shook closed the public hearing. <br />The Board considered ayproposed amendment to the County Library Ordinance. Library <br />Director Mike Matochikea%,Deputy Dale Talbert stated the current Ordinance established in <br />son�Library <br />1980 outlined a nine per::Boa of Trustees. The Library Board of Trustees' By -Laws <br />provide for the Board of Trustees to be made up of seven members, rather than nine as addressed in <br />the Ordinance. The By -Laws a M provide for the Board of Trustees to have an "ex officio member from <br />the Board of County Commissioners' (who does not have authority to vote) and an "alternate" member <br />appointe�by the Com�missioners.�he current Library Ordinance requires a nine member Board, does <br />not require a sittingll lounty Commissioner to be appointed as a Trustee and does not provide for the <br />appoi ment of an "alternate° member. Mr. Talbert stated the question before the Commissioners is <br />whether to"resolve the inconsistences by amending the Ordinance to comply with the Board of <br />Trustees' actual practices or to amend the By Laws to require the Board of Trustees to comply with the <br />ordinance and have nine regular voting members. It was further stated the Board of Trustees <br />sometimes struggles with getting seven members and a nine person Board would be impractical. The <br />Board of Trustees recommends that the ordinance be amended to reduce its membership from nine to <br />seven members. After discussion, Commissioner Reives moved to amend the County Library <br />Ordinance to reflect a seven - member board and to amend the Library Board By -Laws to eliminate a <br />Commissioner serving on that board. Upon a vote, the results were as follows: <br />• Aye: Hayes, Oldham, Parks, Paschal, Reives, Shook, and Womack <br />Nay: None <br />
