The County has been working on this project since 1996 and will be fined by the State if not corrected in the near future. No action was taken. The Board considered a North Carolina Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement. Emergency Management Director Eric Griffin stated the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners and the North Carolina League of Municipalities joined with the Governor of North Carolina after Hurricane Fran in 1996 to develop a mechanism for jurisdictions to receive and provide mutual aid assistance via a standard agreement. This voluntary mutual aid agreement sets forth a series of standards for requesting, sending, receiving, and providing reimbursements for mutual aid assistance. The last updated agreement was approved by the County in November 2002. Mr. Griffin asked the Board to accept and approve the Mutual Aid Agreement and authorize appropriate staff to execute said agreement. Commissioner Shook moved to approve the North Carolina Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement as presented, 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, Hayes, Kelly, Oldham, Paschal, Reives, and Shook Nay: None The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously. The Board considered a Resolution to Delay the 2011 Revaluation. Tax Administrator Dwayne Brinson told Board members he had been working on the 2011 revaluation for several months and found that sales numbers are down, sales prices are down, and the sales ratio study is too high. Mr. Brinson also stated there is a significant amount of cost involved to perform a countywide revaluation and he therefore was recommending the 2011 revaluation be postponed 5
