VII.0 MOA between Wildlife Resources and Lee County Government Parks and Recreation Director Joseph Keel said the parks master plan and needs assessment was completed in 2020. In the assessment, water access kept coming up as a need. Parks and Recreation worked with the Deep River Park Association to secure a grant from the NC Wildlife Commission to build two kayak launches on the Deep River. One would be on Highway 421 and the other on U.S. 15/501. DOT is ready to get moving on the access points. Commissioner Sharpe sits on the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and noted that a lot of people have put a lot of time into this and he supports the project. Commissioner Knecht wondered if the County would just be responsible for maintaining the access points. Mr. Keel said that we will do the day to day maintenance and NC Wildlife will assist us with any damage from large storms. Commissioner Reives has received complaints about the rest areas at Jordan Harris Lake and moved that we ask the delegation who's responsible for the facilities.

It was developed using best practices from FEMA's National Incident Management System, as well as NC Emergency Management. At this time, the plan has been reviewed and approved by the state and is noted as exceeding state standards. Input and participation was provided by many of our local and state stakeholders, as well as our non-governmental agencies and nonprofits. The plan is designed to take an all hazards approach to incident management. Mr. Britt indicated the plan in not looking to create a plan just for one emergency, but multiple. Commissioner Smith noted there was nothing in the plan in regards to earthquakes. Mr. Britt said that we don't specify any specific hazards in the Comprehensive Emergency Operations Plan. Every five years, we conduct a Threat and Hazard Identification process on a regional level, and Lee County Emergency Services conducts this on an annual basis to our specific county. In that document, we look at specific disasters. Motion: Move to approve the adoption of the Lee County Comprehensive Emergency Operations Plan - 2022 Revision.
