Magnolia Avenue as being unfit for human habitation pursuant to N.C.G.S. 160A -441, ET SEQ. This property is owned by Leon and Linda Jasper. The public hearing was duly advertised on November 30, 2010 and December 7, 2010. Mr. Robinson asked if there was anyone present to speak for or against this property being unfit for human habitation. Elizabeth Crudup of 400 S. Magnolia Avenue, Dunn, NC stated that she and Mr. Ellis (who also resides at 400 S. Magnolia Avenue) are the only minorities listed on a pending lawsuit against the City of Dunn which questions the constitutionality of the rental housing ordinance. She stated that her home has its own issues; however, the City of Dunn has harassed her and Mr. Ellis and they are only attacked when the City of Dunn receives a negative judgement based on the ruling of the current rental housing ordinance lawsuit. She stated that she and Mr. Ellis are the only minorities and the poorest people listed on the lawsuit and they are the only ones that the City of Dunn feels they can attack. She stated it is unlawful the way the City of Dunn came to her property. She stated that in regard to the constitutionality of the rental housing ordinance, the City lacks knowledge or information sufficient as to the truth or falsity of the allegations. The City of Dunn is trying to enforce a law that they are not sure is even legal. She asked the Council not to force their hand on something they know is wrong. She and Mr. Ellis will continue to defend themselves. She spoke about slavery. She stated that if the City wants to condemn her house and throw her out because the City received a negative judgement to throw out her case, then go ahead. The rental housing ordinance is wrong and is against the constitution. Do not hurt those who are poor or defenseless who have the guts to tell the City no, please do it the right way. Mayor Pro Tem Robinson stated to Ms. Crudup that she was out of order; her comments are not relevant to the issue this evening. This public hearing is under the minimum housing code and has no connection to the pending rental housing code lawsuit. Mr. Thomas Ellis of 400 S. Magnolia Avenue, Dunn, NC stated that it appears there is a problem with this rental property. He and Ms. Crudup have been harassed to no avail. It appears to him that livelihood is being played with. He is coming before the City Council to ask for an extension on the list of repairs needed for this house. He began repairs on this house last month. Inspector Blackmon stated that a minimum housing inspection was done based on the exterior condition of this house. The owner was contacted by regular and certified mail to request an inspection. The owner called him and advised she would not give the City the authority to inspect this house. Mr. Blackmon stated that he secured an administrative warrant to inspect the house and there were some problems on this particular day with the warrant and Attorney Bain (who represents clients, including Ms. Crudup, in a pending lawsuit against the City that challenges the Rental Housing Ordinance) so he was advised by the City Attorney to inspect and note the problems observed by the exterior of the house. Based on the observations he made in inspecting the exterior of the house, an additional warrant was secured to inspect the interior condition of the house. A complete minimum housing inspection was performed and the owner was sent appropriate letters giving them 90 days to make repairs and the 90 days have expired. The owner of the property has not contacted him as of this date. City Attorney Pope asked Mr. Blackmon for a summary of deficiencies and violations of the minimum housing code with regard to this structure. Mr. Blackmon responded that the plumbing pipes (copper and plastic) under the house have been removed. There is no water in the home, and without water, it can be unsanitary. There are no operable smoke detectors. The only heat he observed in the home was provided by some of the existing fireplaces. At one time, there was no power in the house but now there is. He did not observe immediate electrical dangers but did note some electrical receptacles that did not work and additional receptacles that are required. Council Member Galbreath asked Mr. Blackmon if the home can be repaired. Mr. Blackmon responded yes, the home can be repaired with money and time. In referring to a notice sent to the property owner from July, 2008, Council Member Joey Tart asked Mr. Blackmon if any work has been done on this house. Mr. Blackmon responded he is not aware of any work and he has not been contacted to inspect any work there. Hearing no further comments, Mayor Pro Tem Robinson closed the public hearings at 7:28 p.m. and reconvened the regular meeting. Mayor Pro Tem Robinson explained that the Mayor's excused absence tonight is related to his position in sitting on the board of Southeastern University in Lakeland, Florida and serving on the presidential search committee. The committee will make a nomination for anew president after completing a two year world- W . wide search. Mayor Harris had to be in Florida for this purpose. Mr. Robinson expressed appreciation for the public service rendered by Mayor Harris. CONSENTITEMS Minutes — Council considered approval of minutes of the November 9, 2010 Council meeting.

Magnolia Avenue and found the structure in a deteriorated condition that does not meet the requirements of the City of Dunn Minimum Housing Code (MHC). The Chief Building Inspector also found the property dangerous or prejudicial to the public health or public safety and is a nuisance in violation of N.C.G.S. 160A -193. The owner of the property has failed to comply with the Chief Building Inspector's order to bring the structure on the property into compliance with the City of Dunn MHC and pursuant to N.C.G.S. 160A -443, the City Council has the authority to direct the Chief Building Inspector to post on the main entrance of the property a placard that states "This building is unfit for human habitation; the use or occupation of this building for human habitation is prohibited and unlawful'.

Capital Project Ordinance Downtown Revitalization This ordinance needs Council approval so that the budget for this project can be established for accounting purposes. This capital project ordinance will take the place of an annual budget ordinance, because it is not part of our recurring operations and expenditures, and will continue for the life of the project. This project is related to improvements in the infrastructure of the downtown area. The project will be paid through a community facilities loan and grant with USDA. The first annual debt payment will be in Fiscal Year 2013 -2014 and will be reflected in the General Fund Operating Budget. Manager Autry stated that at the August, 2010 Council meeting, USDA presented a letter of conditions based upon their offer of a loan not to exceed $2.6 and a grant not to exceed $400,000 for the purpose to �✓ perform the downtown revitalization project. At that time, the Council approved the letter of conditions; however, the project was not funded by USDA. Mr. Autry explained that the project is still based on $3M which is the estimate provided by the engineer; however, the grant portion of $400,000 has been removed. Mr. Autry stated that if the Council adopts the proposed capital project ordinance, it does not bind the City to finance $3M. The City is hopeful that bids will be received for this project under the $3M amount. If funding is received by USDA, then the Council will evaluate the loan amount they wish to finance. Council Member Maness reiterated that if bids come back at $3M, then it will have to come back before the Council to find other revenue sources or to cut the project cost. Motion by Council Member Galbreath and seconded by Council Member Turnage to adopt the Capital Project Ordinance for "Downtown Revitalization ". Motion unanimously approved. A copy of Project Ordinance (02010 -18) for "Downtown Revitalization" is incorporated into these minutes as Attachment V.

He added that this task order fee is $85,000 which includes $65,000 to coordinate the dry utility work including generating construction plans, specifications and bid documents and $20,000 for MA Engineering for the planning and design of the signalization system for Broad Street in accordance with the NCDOT Standards.

The original engineering document provided plans for curb & gutter, sidewalks, streets, and storm drainage issues. This additional fee will coordinate plans for underground utilities to incorporate into the total package for submission to USDA.
