a Department of Justice Local Law Enforcement Block Grant. The grant is in
the amount of $67,811. These monies can be utilized for security purposes.
Chairman Byrd called to order a public hearing and opened the meeting for
comments from the public. No comments were offered and Chairman Byrd
closed the public hearing. Commissioner Andrews moved to authorize
investigation of utilization of the grant to enhance security in county facilities.
Commissioner Hill seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
Neil Emory, County Manager, noted that questions have recently arisen
regarding the permitting and location of home care facilities in the County.
• Under current statutes these facilities fall under two categories, group and
family care, and are addressed differently in regards to local jurisdiction
regarding their location. Currently our land use ordinances do not address
these issues. In light of the number of these facilities being permitted across
the State and here in our community, Mr. Emory believes it is imperative that
the County's Planning Board review this matter and present to the Board of
Commissioners its recommendations regarding modifications to our current
ordinances in regards to this issue. Commissioner Titchener moved for the
Planning Board to review the County's current land use ordinances and
provide recommendations regarding needed modifications, and to place a 90
day moratorium on the receipt of applications for group homes , family care
homes, and residential treatment homes. This period would allow for review
and consideration by both the Planning Board and Board of Commissioners.
Commissioner Andrews seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
Neil Emory, County Manager, presented a proposed contract regarding
Criminal Justice Partnership funding. The program was an apparent victim of
state budget cuts. However, partial funding was authorized late in the budget
process after the decision to terminate our joint program with Lee County was
made. Now due to this new funding, a new program is proposed with Harnett
County as the lead county. In the event implementation proves unsuccessful
the county may withdraw at any time. Commissioner McNeill moved to
• authorize the county to enter the contract. Commissioner Hill seconded the
motion and it passed unanimously.
The Health Department's annual report was filed with the Board.
Commissioner McNeill moved that the Board go into closed session for the
following purposes:
1) To consult with the County Attorney concerning the handling of a
certain judicial action, namely, "Campbell University vs Harnett
County et al." File No. 02CNS 1585; and
2) To consult with the County Attorney re: certain claims; and
812
3) To instruct the county staff concerning the position to be taken
on behalf of the County in negotiating the terms of a contract to
purchase real property.
This motion is made pursuant to N.C. General Statute section 143-318.11
(a) & (5). Commissioner Hill seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
There being no further business, Commissioner Hill moved for adjournment.
Commissioner McNeill seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. The
Harnett County Board of Commissioners' regular meeting December 2, 2002,
adjourned at 11:25 a.m.,
