Commissioner Reives addressed one item in the Resolution that stated "the Board of Commissioners, with the passing of this resolution, will begin having the EDC Director and staff report directly to the Lee County Manager, Sanford City Manager and Broadway Town Manager (as long as each group continues to fund the EDC).

Commissioner Reives orally gave notice that he planned to move to rescind the motion entitled "Motion to Terminate LCEDC Agreement' which was adopted at the June 20, 2011 meeting, a copy of which is attached to this notice and by this reference incorporated herein, at the December 5, 2011 meeting of the Board. The Clerk to the Board is authorized to deliver a copy of the Notice to each Commissioner. No action was taken on this matter. The Board considered a contract amendment with Moseley Architects for design of a new security control center and natural lighting project for the Lee County Jail. County Manager John Crumpton stated the proposed contract amendment would include design, bidding and construction administration at a cost of $28,000. As was committed to the Sheriff during the budget process, the County would review the security control center and try to replace the existing system as part of the basement renovations at the Courthouse. The original estimate for the project was $250,000. Moseley Architects originally submitted a proposal of $39,000 for this work and the rebid and construction administration for the natural lighting project. After discussions with Moseley staff and by combining these projects with the bid for the basement renovations, the cost was lowered to $28,000. The security control center is the original system, making the system twenty years old, and staff is having operational issues with the structure. Mr. Crumpton stated that due to the age of the system staff is having difficulty finding replacement parts and the current vendor has recommended replacement. Due to Jail construction standards an architect/engineer has to be involved with the placement of the new system. After discussion, Commissioner Oldham moved to approve the contract amendment with Moseley Architects for design of a new security control center and natural lighting project for the Lee County Jail in the amount of $28,000. Upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Hayes, Oldham, Parks, Paschal, Reives, Shook, and Womack Nay: None The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously. The Board considered a revised meeting schedule for the month of December 2011. County Manager John Crumpton recommended the Board hold a meeting at 3 p.m., Monday, December 5, rd
