Mr. Matthew Day from the Triangle Area Rural Planning Organization (TARPO) at Triangle J Council of Governments presented the Locally Coordinated Human Service Transportation Plan for Lee, Chatham, Moore, and Orange counties. Mr. Day stated that Lee County must be included in an approved Local Plan for organizations in order to apply for various federally funded grant programs and must be revised every 5 years. After discussion, Commissioner Womack moved to defer action on the plan until the June 3rd meeting in order to give him time to review the document. Upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Dalrymple, Frazier, Parks, Reives, Smith, and Womack Nay: None Absent: Knecht The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously. Commissioner Knecht joined the meeting at 5:08 p.m. The Board considered the write -off of 10 -year delinquent taxes. Tax Administrator Mary Yow stated that per N.C. General Statute 105 -378 precludes the tax collector from using enforced collection remedies for taxes greater than 10 years past due. 2002 taxes became due September 1, 2002 and unenforceable as of September 1, 2012, 10 years after the original due date. Per NC General Statute 105 -373 and 105 -378, permission is requested to write off all 2002 taxes that still have a balance. After discussion, Commissioner Womack moved to approve the write off of 10 -year delinquent taxes as presented. Upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Dalrymple, Frazier, Knecht, Parks, Reives, Smith, and Womack Nay: None The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously. The Board considered revised fees and charges for the Parks and Recreation Department. Parks and Recreation Director John Payne asked the Board to consider minimal increases to fees and charges for department programs for two reasons. One, customer service will be enhanced through more efficient registration operations. Two, increased field rental fees will better provide resources necessary for facility maintenance and upkeep at Tramway Road Park due to heavy demand for weekend travel tournaments. If approved, the increases will add approximately $7,600 in revenue to the department. The Board had concerns that out -of- county teams pay the same as in- county teams. After discussion, Commissioner Womack moved to defer action on the revised fees and charges until the Board could be provided with a full range of fees, with changes highlighted, and the Parks and Recreation Commission reconsiders the out -of- county fees across the board. Upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Dalrymple, Frazier, Knecht, Parks, Reives, Smith, and Womack Nay: None The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously. 3
