REPORT ON WEST CENTRAL /BOONE TRAIL WATER PROJECT CONSIDERATION OF MICROWAVE TOWER TO ASSIST COMMUNICATIONS RESOLUTION RE: BASE MAPPING PROJECT Joe Hardee, Engineer with Black and Veatch, presented to the Board the engineering report on the feasibility study of the proposed West Central /Boone Trail Water Project Following his presentation and a discussion by the Board; Commissioner Brock made a motion that a committee consisting of Harrington Morrison; Luther O'Quinn, Commis- sioner Stewart; and Braxley Thomas, to study the report as presented by Mr. Hardee; Commissioner Collins seconded the motion and it carried with a unanimous vote. Larry Knott, Chief of Administration with the Harnett County Sheriff's Department, appeared before the Board and informed them that at the present time, the communica- tions office is experiencing difficulty in communicating with the deputies in the western part of the County. Also when the alarms are set off for some of the Rescue and Fire Departments in Western Harnett, our system in some instances will not acti- vate the pagers. He explained that Piedmont Communications has proposed the instal- lation of a self- supporting microwave tower for private enterprise in the Lillington area for transmission from Raleigh to Fayetteville. The height of the proposed antenna will be four hundred feet compared to the present county antenna height of one hundred -fifty feet. He continued to explain that the additional height in the new antenna would eliminate the existing transmission problems for county law enforce- ment, fire and rescue. Mr. Knott informed the Board that Piedmont Communications would like to install the new antenna on a site off Old Highway 421 (SR 1291) which is owned by the Town of Lillington and where the present Lillington water storage facility is located. He explained that Piedmont Communications had informed him that if the County of Harnett could obtain an agreement with the Town of Lillington for the proposed antenna to be installed on the Lillington water storage site, Piedmont would install the County's communications equipment, at no cost to the County, on the new private enterprise tower. Mr. Knott requested the Board's support and assis- tance in obtaining this lease agreement with the Town of Lillington. During the discussion, it was pointed out that the County owns a site on Old 421 (SR 1291), just up from the site being considered, where the county has constructed a standpipe in connection with the expansion of the Metro system to that area. The Board questioned Mr. Knott as to whether or not this site would be suitable; if so, it would result in Piedmont entering into a contract with the County of Harnett and would eliminate the need of a lease agreement with the Town of Lillington. Following a discussion, the Board requested Mr. Knott to contact Piedmont Communications to determine if the site owned by the County would be an acceptable location to install the propsed microwave tower and report his findings back to the Board. Commissioner Brock moved for the adoption of the following resolution concerning the County's base mapping project; Commissioner Stewart seconded the motion and it carried with a unanimous vote: HARNETT COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA. RESOLUTION BE IT RESOLVED, that on the 19th Day of May, 1986, the Board of Commissioners hereby give their unanimous approval of Harnett County's application for matching funds and technical assistance under the North Carolina Land Records Management Program (LRMP), under the provisions of N.C.G.S. 102 -15 thru 17; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT: 1.
