An individual contacted the County about purchasing Lot 54 through the surplus property procedure, which is right beside the lots that have been sold to SHA. At this time, the County Attorney reached out to SHA to determine their interest. They have inquired about having the land donation for the same purposes as stated in the deed for Lots 55 and 56. If the property is donated to the Sanford Housing Authority, the Board must approve a resolution, notice must be published summarizing the contents of the resolution and the sale, which cannot be consummated until 10 days have passed after the publication. Per NCGS 160A-269, the property will have the same restrictions/conditions that the property be used for low income housing through rentals of dwelling units through Section 8 housing to satisfy the public purpose requirement of the transfer.

Upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Dalrymple, Dodson, Knecht, Oldham, Reives, Sharpe, Sloan Nay: None Chair Dalrymple ruled the motion had carried unanimously. B.

Agreement Addendum 911 Mosquito Abatement Hurricane Florence Health Director Heath Cain stated that funding was received in late September for mosquito abatement to establish or enhance a mosquito management program. Lee County does not currently have a mosquito abatement program. Environmental Health took staff into the field to perform landing counts of mosquitos throughout the county. To treat the entire county, the cost would have been over the amount of funding provided by the State. Therefore, the coverage area was then narrowed down to the highest populated areas. The proposal was presented to the Board of Health for consideration. The Board of Health approved the proposal. The Health Director has declared the mosquito issue a public health nuisance. The aerial spraying is projected to begin on Tuesday, October 16'h beginning at 6:00 p.m. The company will not be able to spray the chemical Page 417
