After some discussion, Commissioner Adams moved to accept Ms. McGehee's recommendation to renew the workers' compensation and property and liability insurance with NCACC. Upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Adams, Brown, Hincks, Lemmond, Paschal, Reives, and Stevens Nay: None The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously. The Board considered a revised Lee County Personnel Policy that will be effective July 1, 2006. Human Resource Director Joyce McGehee told the Board that the old policy was created in 1999, and the new policy was revised to address the mission statement and keep changes that are required by law. Ms. McGehee stated the new policy would give better direction and format by adding such things as a flex-time schedule, a code of ethics, and changes to overtime compensation. As of July 1, 2006, "exempt" employees will no longer receive overtime compensation. When taking time off, employees must use comp time before using vacation/sick leave. Monthly "petty leave" time will be eliminated but the time will be added to the employee's monthly vacation time. Vacation time can now be taken in one-half hour increments instead of the previous one- hour increment. Ms. McGehee further stated that the previous grievance policy took one hundred and twenty-five (125) days to complete with the new policy only taking forty-five (45) days. A Residency Requirements section was also added that allows the County Manager to designate the department director positions that require County residency, depending on the duties. After some discussion, Commissioner Adams moved to approve a resolution to approve Lee County's Revised Personnel Policy, 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: Adams, Brown, Hincks, Lemmond, Paschal, Reives, and Stevens Nay: None The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously.

Mr. Cherry further stated the above referenced statute requires the ten-year plan be updated every three years. In conjunction with the City of Sanford and Town of Broadway, Lee County has completed the preparation of said update and will submit it for approval following the public hearing. 4
