TAX REFUND TO
CAROLINA POWER
AND LIGHT
Thomas Allen, Tax. Supervisor, appeared beforetheBoardand :requested -that the
Commissioners approve a refund to Carolina Power and Light Company in the amount
of $65,678.81 as in accordance with the consent order issued by the North
Carolina Property Tax Commission reducing the 1983 appraised value of Carolina
Power and Light Company's system properties in Harnett County by twenty -six
percent and directing a corresponding refund to Carolina Power and Light Company
Robert Morgan, County Attorney, explained that this refund isa` result of
appeal action that has-been filed by all the Utilities before the Property Tax
Commission concerning the assessed values of their .. properties in the counties
in North Carolina. Mr. Morgan stated that the properties of the Utility Companies
in the State are assessed annually by the North Carolina Department of Revenue
(State Board of Assessments) at 100 percent value as required by Section 105 -335
of the General Statutes of North Carolina. The law now allows utilities to
appeal their values to counties. As a result of this law, CP&L as well as the
other utility companies had a sales /assessment ratio study made of locally
assessed properties in Harnett County and this study, according to CP &L, indicated
that the median assessment to sales ratio for sales of real property in Harnett
County during 1982 was 47.18 percent. CP &L, as a result of this study, requested
a 44.8 percent reduction in the assessment of CP&L's public service property in
Harnett County for the tax year 1983. The.County negotiated with CP &L and the
other utility companies and settled with >CP &L :at an assessed value of 747 of the
appraised value (or a reduction in the 1983 appraised value of.`CP &L properties.
in Harnett County of 267). Commissioner Shaw made a motion that the refund to

Brock seconded the motion and it carried with a unanimous vote.
Commissioner Collins reported to the Board that two of the vehicles (Unit 37
and Unit 38) at the Harnett County Ambulance Service needs to be replaced.
He explained that Unit 37 has 193,000 and Unit 38 has 170,000 miles. Both
of these vehicles are in poor condition and the estimated cost to repair these
vehicles is extremely high. Commissioner Collins stated that he felt it would
be more advantageous to the County to purchase a new ambulance than to repair
these vehicles. Following a discussion, Commissioner Collins made a motion
that Unit 37 and Unit 38 be declared surplus property and be disposed and that
the County purchase a new van -type ambulancefor the Ambulance Service; Commissione
Shaw seconded the motion and it carried with a unanimous vote.
Vanessa W. Young, Clerk to the Board, appeared before the Commissioners and
recommended that Elaine B. Stewart, who is a member of Mrs. Young's staff, be
appointed as Assistant Clerk to the Board to fill the vacancy created by
the resignation of Judy P. Ward. Commissioner Shaw made a motion that Elaine
Stewart be appointed and she is hereby appointed as the Assistant Clerk to the
Board; Commissioner Stewart seconded the motion and it carried with a unanimous
vote.
In 1981, the County entered into individual lease agreements for 20 years with
Dr. C. E. Roberts, Dr. W. Donald Moore, and Keith Finch for these gentlemen
each to construct two airport hangars on the property at the airport leased by
them from the County. At the end of the twenty year lease, the hangars would
be conveyed to the County. M. H. Brock, County Manager, informed the Board that
he had received a letter from Dr. W. Donald Moore and a letter from Dr. C. E.
Roberts offering to give their hangars to the County. Dr. Roberts requested
that if his gift is accepted by the County, he would like for it to be in honor
of his son, "Bud" Roberts who was the first Manager of the Harnett County Air-
port. He continued to state that because of "Bud's" love of flying and his
continued interest in the Harnett County Airport, that this gift seems appropriate.'
Mr. Brock also informed the Board that Keith Finch is interested in giving his
hangars to the County at some time in the future, but not right now. Following
a discussion, Commissioner Brock made a motion that the County accept the gift
of the four hangars: two from Dr. C. E. Roberts in honor of his son, "Bud "; and two
from Dr. W.Donald Moore; Commissioner Collins seconded the motion and it carried
with a unanimous vote.
M. H. Brock, County Manager, informed the Board that the County has received
a request from the Harnett County School System to share in the cost of buying
four buses for Western Harnett, Harnett Central, Boone Trail, and Angier Schools.
It was explained that the four buses will cost $1,250 each for a total of $5,000,
and the County's share would be $2,500. The other half of the cost would be
paid by the four different communities which have obtained their share of the
cost through fund - raising projects. Mr. Brock explained that these are county
school buses that would be put up for sale and the money would go back to the State.
Mr. Morrison said he contacted the State and informed them that the County needed
four of the buses this year for activity buses and the State said that the buses
usually sell for $1,800 each, but since these were needed for activity buses,
they would sell them to the County for $1,250 each. Following a discussion, Com-
missioner Stewart made a motion that the County share in the cost of the purchase
of four activity buses at the total sum of $2,500; Commissioner Collins seconded
the motion and it carried.
Erwin Dobson, Director of Planning, presented for the Board's consideration a
subdivision plat located at the intersection of SR 1412 and SR 1413 for Bobby L.
and Jaxie Morton. Commissioner Collins made a motion that this subdivision plat
be approved; Commissioner Shaw seconded the motion and it carried with a
unanimous vote.
