BOOK 22 PAGE 79 The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously. Mr. Crumpton gave the Board an update on the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program and stated that one house is ready for final inspection. Mr. Crumpton stated the project was going very well at this time. No action was taken. Mr. Crumpton stated he was still working with the City Manager to resolve the E-911 issue concerning a recent bill that was passed affecting 911 funding. The legislation created a new 911 Board at the State level and gave them authority to regulate the expenditure of 911 funds in the State. The primary change in the legislation that affects the County is the provision that only allows 911 funds to be spent on the County's primary PSAP and certified backup PSAP. The County does not operate the primary PSAP - the City of Sanford does. The secondary PSAP is not a backup because it does not have the proper equipment to take all calls the City of Sanford does at this time. Mr. Crumpton further stated the State 911 Board recognizes the County as the proper entity to receive 911 funds since we were the ones that levied the tax. The 911 Board has determined they can no longer release funds to the County without either the county running the primary PSAP, or having a signed contact in place. Funds are not currently available for the County to build a new 911 center, therefore, we must recognize the City of Sanford as the primary PSAP in the county so 911 funds will be released by the State Board. Mr. Crumpton stated he will continue to negotiate with the City and try to get a signed contract as soon as possible. No action was taken. Chairman Brown discussed a request from Central Carolina Community College President Dr. Matt Garrett to meet with the CCCC Board of Trustees at 5:00 p.m., Monday, April 28, 2008, to discuss activities for the previous year and explain budget needs for the coming fiscal year. After some discussion, Board members agreed to meet with the CCCC Board of Trustees and the Clerk was instructed to notify Dr. Garrett of their action. With no further business to come before the Board, Commissioner Lemmond moved to adjourn the meeting. Upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Brown, Kelly, Lemmond, Paschal, Quiggle, Reives, and Shook Nay: None The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously and the meeting Robert Brown, Chairman Lee County Board of Commissioners
