Mr. Chatellier said he did receive a letter from letter from Mr. Sauer informing him the proposed route of a water line had been changed and would no longer go across his property however Mr. Chatellier asked the cost of running the water line the new route. Harnett County Board of Commissioners February 21, 2011 Regular Meeting Minutes Page 5of10 Pastor George Brice of Cameron said he has issues with tax dollars being used to fund elective abortions for employees within the county health plan. Libby Brice, Peter DeMitri of Cameron, Tim Taylor and Sicilia Defalio all echoed these comments and said they did not want their tax dollars paying for elective abortions. Chairman McNeill clarified that there would be no cost savings assumed by the county for removing this elective option and cautioned this could affect women in need of DNCs following miscarriages. He said he is not in favor of legislating morality. Commissioner Burgin believes that there would be a savings to the county from removing the elective option of abortion from the county health plan and said he understands any decision a doctor orders for the welfare of a patient, such as a DNC, would still be covered by the plan. Charles "Chick" Adams made disrespectful comments from the audience and was escorted out by a Harnett County Sheriff's Deputy. Vice Chairman Hill moved to approve the appointments listed below.

The $400,000 Community Development Block Grant helped 6 Harnett County families with housing rehabilitation efforts. They also asked that the commissioners authorize the Chairman to sign the close out documents for this grant. A citizen from the audience said she thanks God every day for what this grant did for her parents and her brother. Commissioner Burgin stressed the continued need to solicit local workers and buy local materials from Harnett County for these and all projects. Chairman McNeill called to order a public hearing on the matter and opened the meeting for comments from the public. There being no comments, Chaiiuian McNeill closed the public hearing. Commissioner Burgin moved to authorize the chairman to sign the SSH 08 CDBG close out documents for this grant. Vice Chairman Hill seconded the motion which passed unanimously. Harnett County Board of Commissioners February 21, 2011 Regular Meeting Minutes Page 6of10 Samantha Ficzko, Planner II, petitioned the Board to approve the proposed rezoning application, Owner of Record: John Frangakis et al, Applicant: Stephen A. Caroll; 3.13 +/- acres (2 parcels), From RA -20R to Commercial Zoning District, 2183 & 2203 Hwy 24/87, Anderson Creek Township. Ms. Ficzko noted a public hearing was held by the Planning Board on Monday, February 7, 2011. No one present spoke in opposition to the request. She reported the two parcels requested to be rezoned are adjacent to commercial zoning, are compatible with Harnett County regulatory documents, would not have an unreasonable impact on the surrounding community and will enhance the public health, safety, and general welfare of the community. The Planning Department staff recommends approval of the request. The Planning Board voted unanimously to recommend that the County Commissioners approve the requested zoning change. Chairman McNeill called to order a public hearing on the matter and opened the meeting for comments from the public. Steven McConnell, who represents Mr. Frangakis, spoke in favor of the rezoning. It was noted that on January 24, 2011, the Harnett County Board of Commissioners approved a zoning change request for a parcel adjacent to these two sites to commercial zoning. There being no further comments, Chairman McNeill closed the public hearing. Commissioner Burgin moved to approve the rezoning application as presented. Commissioner House seconded the motion which passed unanimously. Samantha Ficzko, Planner II, petitioned the Board to regarding the proposed rezoning application, Owner: Henry P. Carroll, Jr., 4.0 +/- acres, From RA -20R to Commercial Zoning District, 17295 Hwy 27 W Lot 2; Barbecue Township. Ms. Ficzko reported that staff evaluated the requested rezoning and found that it was not compatible with Harnett County regulatory documents and would not only have an impact on surrounding community, but would also fail to enhance the public health, safety and general welfare of the community. A public hearing was held by the Planning Board on Monday, February 7, 2011. Several residents of Stoney Creek Subdivision spoke in opposition to the request. A petition was presented with 98 signatures of citizens opposed to the rezoning request. Staff reported the site was analyzed for Small Scale Rezoning and was found to be unreasonable. The Planning Board voted unanimously to recommend denial of the request based on unfavorable findings for Small Scale Rezoning. Chaiunan McNeill called to order a public hearing on the matter and opened the meeting for comments from the public. Harnett County Board of Commissioners February 21, 2011 Regular Meeting Minutes Page 7of10 Helene Cabrera spoke in opposition of the rezoning and presented the Board with a petition signed by 102 citizens opposing the proposed rezoning. Eugene Gonzales, Peter Mayhem, Ronney Moss, Andrea Urtiaga, Pamela Hymer, Runnie Myles, April Wagner and Jimmy Cook also spoke in opposition of the rezoning. Citizens cited fear of crimes they believe are associated with laundry mats, having only one entrance into their community being trapped in their homes if an accident occurred at the propane refill site as well as the increased traffic destroying their way of life and believing the placement of these businesses would decrease the value of their property. Mr. Al Bain, attorney representing Mr. Henry P. Carroll, spoke in favor of the rezoning and presented the Board with a petition signed by 438 citizens agreeing they believe having services of a laundry mat, propane refill station, aluminum can recycling and white goods recycling would be in the best interest of this community. Mr. Bain also distributed a letter from Lillington Police Chief Frank powers stating that there were no records on file from 1997 to 2011 for any incident taking place at any laundry mats located in the city limits of Lillington other than normal property crimes. He stated his client intended on employing 5 people and these businesses would increase the tax base. Mr. Henry P. Carroll, himself, and Ms. Angela Strickland spoke in support of this application saying they believed lots of people in the area need these services. Chairman McNeill moved to deny the proposed rezoning request based on staff's evaluation that the requested rezoning was not compatible with Harnett County regulatory documents and would not only have an impact of surrounding community, but would also fail to enhance the public health, safety and general welfare of the community. Vice Chairman Hill seconded the motion which passed 4 to 1. Samantha Ficzko, Planner II, petitioned the Board to approve the proposed zoning ordinance text amendments, Applicant: Harnett County Planning Department, Zoning Ordinance, New Additions and Revisions, Article VI Section 10.0, 10.9 - 10.9.4 Highway Corridor Overlay Zoning District Standards for the Highway Corridor Overlay Zoning District Ms. Fizcko stated that in an effort to address concerns of sprawl and undesirable growth patterns, the Planning Department has developed a set of standards for the Highway Corridor Overlay. Development of these standards has been a goal of the Planning Department for some time; however work on the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) was the catalyst for completion of the text amendment submitted. Additionally, the planning staff believes review and approval of this amendment separate from the UDO will make future transitions to the UDO an easier process, as this major change will have already been addressed. Due to recent conversations with a citizen, Commissioner Burgin questioned some requirements and noted that staff needs to be able to work with people on some of these requirements and asked that citizens options always be explained to them. He shared concerns that we may be needlessly increasing expenses and over- stepping boundaries. Harnett County Board of Commissioners February 21, 2011 Regular Meeting Minutes Page 8 of 10 Chairman McNeill called to order a public hearing on the matter and opened the meeting for comments from the public. There being no comments, Chairman McNeill closed the public hearing. Commissioner Andrews moved to approve the proposed zoning ordinance text amendment as presented. Commissioner House seconded the motion which passed unanimously. (Attachment 5) Mr. Sauer presented the following report - Department of Public Health Activities Summary LeeAnne Blackmon and Midred Riley asked the commissioner for permission to sale raffle tickets to employees for one paid day of vacation to employees, working with Human Resources, as a fund raiser for Relay for Life. Commissioner Andrews moved to approve the request. Vice Chairman Hill seconded the motion which passed unanimously. Mr. Jimmy McCormick, Soil and Water Conservation Board member, requested approval of the Soil and Water Conservation Board's recommendation to make Neal Taylor the department head for the Harnett County Soil and Water District as well as change his designation to Resource Conservationist at the entry level of pay grade 71. Commissioner Andrews moved to approve the recommendation which was seconded by Vice Chairman Hill and approved unanimously. Commissioner Burgin asked Mr. Wilder to find out if the tax department is alerted when somebody sales a vehicle. Commissioner Burgin believes citizens should receive a refund of vehicle taxes for the remainder of the tax year when they sale a vehicle. Commissioner Burgin moved to remove elective abortions from the county's health plan. Commissioner House seconded the motion which passed unanimously Commissioner Burgin requested the status of his earlier request that Public Utilities park some of the 41 county vehicles being driven home daily by county employees. Commissioner Burgin moved to instruct Public Utilities to present a plan to park 20 of those vehicles from being driven home every night. Commissioner House seconded the motion. Chairman McNeill amended the motion that all county departments come before the Board to justify the taking home of any county vehicles. Commissioner Andrews seconded the amendment. The amended motion passed unanimously. It was consensus of the group that law enforcement would be exempt from this justification. Commissioner Burgin made a motion that Harnett County offer to pay Harnett County contractors up to 10% higher on a bid project. Mr. Sauer noted we are required by law to accept the lowest qualified bidders. Chairman McNeill asked that this be researched first. Commissioner Burgin made a motion that the county set the 2011 -2012 budget at 95% of last year's revenues which was $97,623,737 which would be $92,742,550 looking at roughly a 6.9% reduction. Commissioner House seconded the motion. Mr. Sauer said he had already met with Harnett County Board of Commissioners February 21, 2011 Regular Meeting Minutes Page 9 of 10 department heads and could provide some budget scenarios at the next work session. Chairman McNeill said where he agrees we need to cut spending there are too many variables right now to adopt such a motion. Mr. Sauer said considering we cannot cut debt services the 5% reduction requested by departments had turned in to a proposed 13.2% reduction. Commissioner Burgin rescinded his motion. Chairman McNeill moved for the board to adopt a resolution to the "powers that be" communicating that they should not balance the state's budget on the back of the counties. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Burgin and passed unanimously. There was no need for a closed session. Chairman McNeill called for any new business. Mr. Wilder clarified he recommendation to deny the request from Mr. Charles Mitchell Oxendine that a 2002 tax bill be released on a vehicle he sold presented a the February 7th meeting. At 9:00 pm Commissioner Burgin moved to adjourn. Seconded by Vice Chairman Hill the motion passed unanimously. cNeill, Chairman ti IA Al, . et Regina eeler, Clerk Harnett County Board of Commissioners February 21, 2011 Regular Meeting Minutes Page l0 of 10 Approved by the Harnett Attachment 1 County Board of Commissioners.
