The Emergency <br />Management Office will serve as the tool for implementing, monitoring and <br />evaluating the programs and procedures resulting from the adopted <br />Environmental Stewardship Policy. No action was taken on this matter. <br />Strategic Initiatives Director Lesa Price updated the Board on the BRAC <br />Initiative. Ms. Price told Board members that Lee County has been moved from <br />a Tier II County to a Tier I County which means we will now be eligible, as one of <br />seven (7) counties, to receive funds from authorized grants. Ms. Price stated <br />that in order to receive grants, Lee County would have to contribute <br />approximately $8,300 per year as part of our local match. Ms. Price presented <br />details from the September 13-14, 2006, North Carolina Relocation Fair that was <br />held in Atlanta, Georgia and viewed the DVD presented to interested individuals <br />at the Atlanta booth presenting Sanford-Lee County. Commissioner Amy <br />Stevens updated the Board on events that took place in Atlanta, as she was one <br />of four representatives from the area who attended the Relocation Fair. <br />Commissioner Stevens stated that overall; Lee County did very well at the <br />Relocation Fair and Lee County received many compliments concerning material <br />presented and their presentation. Ms. Price further stated that sub-committees <br />would be formed to address various issues involving the BRAC Initiative. No <br />action was taken on this matter. <br />Strategic Initiatives Director Lesa Price discussed with the Board future <br />challenges discussed earlier in the year at the Commissioners Planning Retreat. <br />The three (3) top initiatives that will be undertaken in FY 2006-07 include <br />Employee Health Clinic/Benefits, Aging Population Outreach, and Workforce <br />Development. Sub-committees have been formed and are working on the <br />above-mentioned initiatives. No action was taken on this matter. <br />With no further business to come before the Board, Commissioner <br />Lemmond moved to adjourn the meeting.
