Christopher Appel, Senior Staff Attorney, reviewed proposed changes to the Conflict of Interest
Policy for compliance of federal regulations with ARPA funding. Consensus of the Board was
to place this item on the next consent agenda.
Commissioner Johnson shared information regarding a call he received from a concerned citizen
about a violation received by the Stop Arm Camera program. There was some confusion on how
to appeal a case. Attorney Appel provided background information regarding the program. If
there is a potential violation, it is sent over to the Sheriff's office for review to see if there is a
violation, if it is a violation, it goes back to bus patrol which then they will issue a citation to the
registered owner. On there, there are instructions on how to appeal it, if they wish to do so and
under the ordinance, state statute, they mail in a sworn statement that they did not violate the
ordinance for various reasons, when that is mailed in to the address on the citation, Bus Control
creates a docket and on the second Wednesday of every month the Stop Arm Appeals Board
hears the appeal. After the matter is heard before the Stop Arm Appeals Board, an order is
issued and again, there is a statement on there on how to appeal the Appeals Board. The process
is to file an appeal with the Clerk of Superior Court and then it will be heard in District Court.
Attorney Appel stated there are some ongoing issues with that process right now, it is a part of
the growing pains with any new program. Attorney Appel stated I have been in communication
with Renee Whittenton to set up an appeals process with District Court. Attorney Appel stated I
cannot tell them how to write an appeal. It is on there that they have a time period to appeal,
obviously with the growing pains, I would not move for a dismissal, obviously there would be a
grace period, until the process smooths out. If they appeal it, they do not have to pay their
citation until the final disposition. Discussion included adding the Clerk of Court's phone
number and address, statistics of possible violations and citations issued and program funding.
Commissioner Matthews stated the School Board's total focus has been safety for the children. I
appreciate all the hard work everyone has put into this. For those who don't remember or don't
know we lost a child in 2012 that got struck by a vehicle. Chairman Weatherspoon stated I think
we should look at the possibility of doing an ad campaign.
Dwight Snow, County Attorney, reviewed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between
Harnett County and the City of Dunn regarding 600 S. Magnolia Ave., Dunn, NC. Consensus of
the Board was to place the MOU on the Consent Agenda.
Kimberly Honeycutt, Finance Officer, provided the third quarter financial report.
Brent Trout, County Manager, stated today we had an item for Neill's Creek Park improvements,
we will also have one for the Benhaven School window project, if you remember that is a part of
what we supplemented for the SCIF funds received. Legal is working on the agreements we will
have related to the general fund expenditures for the items the SCIF funding was originally
intended for.
