Neil Emory, County Manager, led a discussion on the following items:
1. Mr. Emory noted that Lillington Mayor Grover Smith, asked for a progress report
on the sewerline construction project. And Mayor Smith asked if the offer of land
from the County to the Town of Lillington to build a new fire station could be
revisited. The County has offered property located on McKinney Parkway behind the
Courthouse and DSS and Health buildings to the town for the purpose of building a
new Lillington Fire Department facility. Mayor Smith asked if the County would
consider a gift of property on Highway 401 instead of the location of the original

Board regarding their proposed budgets and tax rates.
