Mayor Harris and Commissioner Robinson discussed Dunn's plans for the Harnett High
School property if the County gives ownership of the property to the City of Dunn. A
Memorandum of Understanding will be considered by the Board of Commissioners at its
November 17 meeting.
Ms. Slusser and Mr. Pope brought to the Board's attention an issue concerning the •
requirement for fire hydrants at businesses and who bears the cost. The issue is how to
treat everyone the same. The state gives the Fire Marshal's office discretion regarding
meeting the Fire Code. Commissioner McNeill noted that it would be difficult for the
Board to make a policy for this because situations are different. He suggested
Emergency Services and Staff Attorney would need to take them case by case. Jimmy
Riddle, Fire Marshal, advised the commissioners if they get a call from a citizen
regarding this, to refer the citizen to the Fire Marshal's office.
Mr. Wilder noted that Teddy Joe McLamb is going to sell his business, Carolina Pines
Lawn Care. The County has a contract with him and Mr. Wilder asked the Board's
direction on whether to stay with the company who buys Carolina Pines Lawn Care or
ask for bids for mowing service.
Commissioner McNeill asked Board to add to the consent agenda for November 17
meeting, a resolution to NC DOT in support of a rail yard for McCullers Intermodal
Logistics on 401 N (owned by Ben Slaughter).
Ms. Slusser noted that the Town of Angier would like to.contract with the County for
Planning Services.
There being no further business, the work session adjourned at 1:30 p.m. •
