Present were; Board Chairman James Currin, Board Secretary Tony Spears, Board Member
Joseph Powell, Director Claire Jones and Deputy Director Claudette Williams
Also Present were: Anna Blackburn- Harnett County NAACP Vice President, Steve Blackburn,
Jean Sivoli —Harnett County Democrat Chair, Elizabeth De-Herde- teacher, Felton Smith -
minister, Frank McLean -Dunn city councilman, Joe Langley, Louise Taylor- former Harnett
County Board member and Tom Woerner-Daily Record. Others included Stephanie Watson -

Mr. Currin called the meeting to order at 10:04 am.
Business:
The purpose of the Special meeting was to discuss and vote on a new One -Stop plan, all plans
are attached hereto. Mrs. Jones began the meeting with recapping the Board of the previous one -
stop plan for the General Election in 2012 (Plan 1). Although matching hours are no longer
required, this election had189 hours. If the Board decided to copy that Plan with 4 additional
locations (Plan 2) there would be a total of 243 hours. Mrs. Jones recommended a similar plan
(Plan 3) that extended the weekday hours by 1 hour bringing the total hours to 255.
Mr. Powell stated that he liked Mrs. Jones' recommendation, but felt that Saturday hours should
match the weekday hours to make it consistent and easier for voters to remember (Plan 4).
Tony Spears asked Mrs. Jones to clarify the 17 days for voting and she did.
Mr. Spears submitted to the Board his own plan (Plan 5) similar to Mr. Powell but he wanted to
include Sunday voting as well.
Mrs. Jones explained that she did not recommend Sunday voting. "Staff would be working on
Sundays because the satellite One Stop locations are not connected and laptops need to be
uploaded and other work needs to be processed. The office plans to get more laptops and
everything needs to be audited before one -stop begins on Monday.
The Board discussed the plans and then opened the floor to public comment. Each person was
given 3 minutes to speak.
Some remarks were as follows:
Anna Blackburn — "statistics show minorities use Sunday voting"
Steve Blackburn — "turn out is better on the weekend, the office can downgrade on Monday
Lewis Bell — "Sunday is the only day some voters can get out to vote"
Susan Crooks — supports "Souls to the polls" (poll worker who resigned after this special
meeting)
Alison Fenderson "lookout for everyone"
�l Victoria Greene — "Military spouse and it's unpatriotic"
Stephanie Watson — "precinct chair in support of Sunday voting"
Sharon Gilbert — "rather have voting on Sunday than shooting in my neighborhood"
Elizabeth De'Herde — "minority turned away because the process is confusing
Jean Sivoli — "declared the ruling unconstitutional, pick all the little trees and not look at the
forest, poll workers can rest after the end of early voting"
After the public comments a motion was made seconded and voted, but due to confusion the
motion was struck from the table and Board discussion began again.
Mr. Spears moved to approve Plan 5. With no second the motion died.
Mr. Spears moved to approve Plan 5 with the edit of voting only on one Sunday instead of two.
With no second the motion died.
Mr. Powell moved to approve Plan 4. Mr. Currin seconded. Approved by a vote of 2-1 with Mr.
Spears casting the dissenting vote.
With no further business to discuss, Mr. Powell moved to adjourn. Mr. Spears seconded. The
meeting was adjourned at 10:56 pm.
Due to the One -stop Plan being non -unanimous, Mrs. Jones will submit Plan 4 and Plan 5 to the
State Board to review.
The next meeting of the Board will be the regular meeting, September 6, 2016 at 4:00 pm.
