007 Aye: Dalrymple, Frazier, Knecht, Parks, Smith, and Womack Nay: None Absent: Reives The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously. Tax Administrator Mary Yow presented an update on the 2013 Revaluation formal appeals. On April 10, 2013 the Board of Equalization and Review (Board of E & R) received training from the Department of Revenue regarding the appeal process and at that time began the appeal process for the 2013 tax year. The Board of E & R adjourned on May 1 St for the purpose of accepting appeals and completed deliberations and decisions on May 29, 2013. No action was taken. Commissioner Reives joined the meeting during the above presentation. The Board considered the purchase of backup public safety answering point (PSAP) equipment for the new 911 Center. IT Director Kyle Edwards asked the Board to approve the purchase of equipment and installation services for the network, telephone, and call recording equipment necessary to move forward in outfitting the new Lee County Backup PSAP with 911 call taking abilities. Since the completion of the new Sheriff's Dispatch and Backup 911 Center, dispatchers have moved into the new facility and we are now ready to move forward with the next phase of development which is installing the equipment and infrastructure necessary to enable the center to receive 911 calls in the event the current PSAP at the City were to be inaccessible or unavailable, or in the event of a disaster. Mr. Edwards stated this was not the final phase of implementation but would bring the project to 66% completion. Mr. Edwards stated there is currently $281,107 available in the 2012 -13 Budget and all costs are fully reimbursable by the NC 911 Board. This project is the sole source due to the nature of the existing 911 system at the City of Sanford PSAP and as such was not subject to the bid process.
