BOOK 42 PAGE 5 • Ms. Arlene Jackson, 5057 Cox Mill Road • Mr. Rex Brown. 7301 Villanow Drive • Mr. James Mills, 325 N Franklin Drive • Mr. Eugene Baruafkin, 376 Kittery Point • Mr. Jonathan Williams (no address given) The Board considered an amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding for Cooperative, Comprehensive and Continuing Transportation Planning and the Establishment of a Rural Planning (TARPO) Organization. County Manager John Crumpton told Board members that the North Carolina Department of Transportation Planning Branch has directed that all rural planning organizations amend their Memorandum of Understanding to incorporate specific changes and provisions. Mr- Crumpton stated that many of the amendments simply reflect language of amendments that NCDOT directed be made to the by-laws. Other changes address problems some RPO's (Rural Planning Organizations) have with getting a quorum at meetings. After some discussion, Commissioner Reives moved to approve the Amended Memorandum of Understanding for Rural Planning Organizations, 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: Brown, Lemmond, Paschal, Quiggle, Reives, and Shook Nay: Kelly The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted by a six to one vote. The Board considered a Convenience Center Decal Program. At the January 7, 2008 meeting, the Board deferred action on this item until the County Manager could review the proposed program and make a recommendation. County Manager John Crumpton stated that decals would be issued annually to all Lee County residents who have paid the annual solid waste fee. Vehicles without a decal will be turned away from the convenience center in order to eliminate unauthorized use of the facilities. Mr. Crumpton recommended approval of the program with a start date of March 1, 2008. A 30-day grace period will be given to citizens who enter the facility without a sticker but can show ID that contains a Lee County address. The Centers will also contain lists of citizens who have paid the fee so workers can check each customer who shows up with a sticker. The customer list will also serve as back-up in case a sticker is lost or someone uses a vehicle that doesn't have a sticker. After some discussion, Commissioner Reives moved to defer action on the matter until more information can be provided on how the program will be administered. Upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Brown, Kelly, Lemmond, Paschal, Reives, and Shook Nay Quiggle The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted by a six to one vote. The Board considered amendments to the Challenge Printing and System Plast incentive agreements.

The project took longer than expected and has now been completed. Mr. Heuts stated the agreement would need to be revised showing the beginning date for the project from January 1, 2007 to January 1, 2008. Commissioner Kelly moved to approve an amendment to the Challenge Printing Company showing the beginning date of January 1, 2008. Upon a vote, the results were as follows: 3
