The Invocation was given by Mayor ProTem McLaurin. DOT Projects: The regional DOT office in Lumberton submitted a list of projects for the next year to be approved by the State. Some have been done already, some are not funded yet. The project list includes paving Hwy 130 and 1302 and East MLK to the city limit. Manager Pearson has developed a better relationship with the regional engineer, Chuck Miller. After 5 Entertainment: This was talked about during the budget retreat and funding was appropriated in the budget for concerts in the park. The manager and clerk have discussed concerts taking place in one of the downtown parks, but decided that Beacham Park was a better place because it would accommodate growth. Time and dates were discussed, suggesting Saturday evenings in September, October, and November. Commissioner Dean asked to have the November date to correlate with the Collard Festival and Mayor Pro Tem McLaurin asked to have one in conjunction with the Christmas lighting downtown in December. Commissioner Dean suggested the name "Maxton Under the Stars". The time suggested was 6 PM to 8PM. Clerk Gallman with Jenanne Pearsons help is willing to take responsibility for arranging the food vendors and the musical groups to perform. Lot on South Elm Street: The realty company that is handling this piece of property in the 200 block of S. Elm St. called and asked if the Town would be interested in purchasing this property across from the basketball court. It is an RSFD zone. The consensus was that the Town can not use this property and is not interested. Scotland County Transportation Committee: Manager Pearson was invited to be on this committee and share ideas that Maxton proposes concerning transportation in Scotland County. The recommendations are: a street light at Hwy 74 and Lauchwood Dr.; a traffic light at the S. Caledonia exit ramp; resurfacing of Johns Rd; Hwy 74 East ramp off Hwy 401 needs a light or reflector. Another note: In Maxton, on Bus.74 from Main St to Fifth St. there are no street lights working. Rental of the Freight Building: We have been approached to rent the end of the Freight Building to a small business; Manager Pearson is asking for direction on this issue. Manager Pearson suggests that the restaurant portion be rented first. Commissioner Hamer suggested that the renter would need to compliment a restaurant. Mayor Pro Tem McLaurin felt there was no reason to wait. Commissioner Oxendine suggested that the wrong business could hamper the renting of the restaurant. Mayor McKoy suggested a special meeting to discuss this issue. Over the Street mini-banner use: Manager Pearson received a request for banners over Main Street. Because Maxton does not have a policy concerning this, he submitted a request on the manager listserv to get a procedure policy to regulate large banners. Mayor Pro Tem McLaurin suggested that this was a good policy to regulate advertising. Commissioner Dean suggested that there should be a time requirement for removal of the banner after the event. Political signs were also discussed. The Board asked for a revised policy to be brought back to the next meeting. Grant Committee: This committee has three commissioners on it at this time, but needs to be reduced to two commissioners so that the meetings will not be subject to the Public Meetings Law. Mayor Pro Tem McLaurin resigned leaving Commissioners Dean and Hamer on the committee with the Mayor. Mayor McKoy suggests that we apply for a small grant for playground equipment at Beacham Park. This grant is due by September 22, 2006 and will be referred to the Four County grant-writer. Mayor Pro Tem McLaurin suggested that the equipment should not go in the middle of the track because walkers need to be able to see the whole track, but suggested that the equipment be placed in the old pool lot adjacent to Beacham Park. Regular Meeting 7:40 PM Attorney Hunt arrived late due to a storm. Commissioner Oxendine gave the Invocation. Consent Agenda: Mayor Pro Tem McLaurin made a motion to approve these six items of the consent agenda: 1. Minutes of July 11 & 14, 2006 meetings 2. Tax adjustments 3. Certain Purchases funded in 2007 Fiscal Budget Change September Regular Board Meeting to September 5, 2006 Resolution for Finance Director Melissa Throckmorton to sign checks Accept of grant for the PAL program Commissioner McLean seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous. Manager Pearson introduced Melissa Throckmorton as Maxtons new Finance Director. Presentation: Nancy Walker from the Maxton Housing Authority explained that the Federal budget has reduced funds that support housing authorities. The MHA is chartered by the state government and is independent of local government. Crystal Brayboy is the new site manager for Maxton. MHA has 90 units and has achieved High Performance Status on the grading system of HUD. The Police Officer is working well and will finish the contract through November, 2006, but the funds may not be available to renew the contract. Steed Circle is different public housing because the rent supports the facility. MHA is investigating paying the utilities and extending a utility allowance to the tenants. Ms. Walker explained about the intergovernmental agreement between MHA and LHA. Old Business: Mayor Pro Tem McLaurin moved that a report be given from the restaurant committee. Commissioner Dean seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous. The Town has placed a bid on property at 5th St. and E. MLK Dr. This will be open for upset bid; no other action is needed. Downtown Beautification Project: Gayle Fernandez, Executive Director for Robeson County Community Development Corporation (RCCDC), has agreed to the offer by the town to purchase the property on Wilmington St. owned by RCCDC and needed for the power line easement at a total amount of $3500 and up to 5 water and 5 sewer taps on new houses in the Clark Street Subdivision. Commissioner Oxendine made a motion to approve the offer of $3500 plus five property water/sewer taps in exchange for the purchase of property on Wilmington Street just west of and adjacent to the Carrie Hester Funeral Home needed for power line easement. Commissioner McLean seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous. McGirt heir property: The easement needed for the Downtown Beautification project behind Wilmington Street will be surveyed beginning August 9, 2006. Grady Hunt will submit the paper work needed. This should be ready at the September meeting. Landscape Bid: Mr. Womacks contract for Landscape maintenance will expire in September 2006. Per Board instructions Manager Pearson presented a Request for Bid for Landscape Maintenance within the Town of Maxton for the Boards approval. It is identical to last years Request for Bid except for the addition of the Library and Museum areas. Commissioner Dean asked if a Certificate of Insurance was still required and also suggested that the Town provide them money for new and replacement plants. Mayor Pro Tem McLaurin suggested that the Board give the landscaper direction as to what is expected as far as the look of certain areas. Commissioner Dean made a motion to approve the Request for Bid as written and to advertise it during August 2006. Commissioner Hamer seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous. Restaurant Building Report: Commissioner Dean reported that the committee has talked to the culinary school of Robeson Community College and found that they were interested as an independent contractor. Another school had trouble with working a program into their budget and will take time to incorporate our facility into their program. Commissioner Dean made a motion to dissolve the committee and authorize the manager to move forward to find an entrepreneur to lease the building as a restaurant. Commissioner McLean seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous. New Business: Mayor Pro Tem McLaurin made a motion to add to the agenda the placement of the football and basketball state championship signs. Commissioner Dean seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous. Mr. Paul Davis of the Laurinburg-Maxton Airport was recognized and submitted resolution R-2006 for approval. This resolution provides for the sale of .807 acres of adjacent airport property to Crestline Homes to add to the 8.342 acres they already own at the price $2900 per acre. This land is needed for an addition to the building. Commissioner Dean made a motion to approve Resolution R-2006. Commissioner McLean seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous. Ordinance Z2006-08-01 Limiting and Redefining Mobile, Manufactured, and Modular Homes - This Ordinance would only allow mobile homes in the already existing mobile home parks; manufactured homes would not be allowed in town or Maxtons ETJ except in two Manufactured Home overlay districts located in the Croom Road area and Meadowood Subdivision in the Brandi Road area. It also redefines both manufactured and modular homes and based on this redefinition of Modular Home, modular homes would be allowed as a use by right. The Public Hearing to discuss this ordinance opened at 8:45 PM. No one spoke on the issue. The Public Hearing closed at 8:46PM. Mayor Pro Tem McLaurin made a motion to adopt Ordinance Z2006-08-01 and thanked the Planning and Zoning Board for their work on this issue. Commissioner McLean seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous. It will be brought back for a second reading at the September 2006 Regular meeting. Ordinance Z2006-08-02 Technical correction to the greenhouse size requirements This ordinance corrects the maximum length measurement of a greenhouse from 200 feet to the maximum area to 200 square feet. The ordinance is proposed to be effective as of the date passed and would not effect existing greenhouses in the zoning area. The Public Hearing opened at 8:48 PM. No one spoke on this issue. The Public Hearing closed at 8:49 PM. Commissioner Oxendine moved to adopt Ordinance Z2006-08-02 correcting the maximum length measurement of a greenhouse of 200 feet to the maximum area of a greenhouse to 200 square feet. Mayor Pro Tem McLaurin seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous. It will be brought back for a second reading at the September 2006 Regular meeting. Ordinance 2006-08-01 Nuisance grass height lowered from 24 inches to 16 inches. Commissioner McLean moved to adopt Ordinance 2006-08-01. Commissioner Dean seconded the motion. Commissioner Oxendine asked if we can enforce this, especially on DOT at the bypass. Our code Enforcement officer has the authority to enforce the ordinance. The vote was unanimous. Scotland County Transportation Improvement Plan: Mayor Pro Tem McLaurin made a motion to approve the Scotland County Transportation Committee letter referencing additions to the State TIP plan with these added suggestions: Reflectors at Hwy 401 and Hwy74East entry ramp Street light at S. Caledonia Rd and Lauchwood Drive Traffic light at top of ramp and Hwy 501/Caledonia Rd exit off Hwy 74 Resurface Johns Road Commissioner Hamer seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous. Fall Litter Sweep: The statewide campaign will be held September 16 30. We will pick up anything placed at the curbside during that time that is not hazardous material. Commissioner Dean made a motion to designate Maxtons Fall Litter Sweep from September 16 30. Mayor Pro Tem McLaurin seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous. Utility Services: The Town has a contract with Utility Services for the upkeep of our water towers which includes painting every eight years. It is time for the Old Tower to be painted, but OSHA requires that antennas be moved away from the ladder area. The moving of antennas is not included in the Utility Services maintenance contract and the cost to move the antennas is not included in the budget. Utility Services has quoted a price of $17,000 to bring the antennas into OSHA compliance. These antennas are for the radio equipment used by police and emergency personnel. The discussion included the fact that we really have no choice about moving the antennas. Manager Pearson will try to negotiate for a lower price and investigate another bid. Commissioner McLean made a motion to approve Utility Services bid for moving the antennas on the water tower for a price not to exceed $17,000, which will require a budget amendment and recommended seeking additional quotes prior to expending these funds. Commissioner Oxendine seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous. Two Championship Signs: Maxton High School earned state championships in football in 1975 and basketball in1974. Signs recognizing these titles were never placed on the highways entering into Maxton, which is a common practice throughout the State. Signs have now been created by approval of the State and the signs will be unveiled at a ceremony on August 26th at 1:30 at Beacham Park. Representative Pierce arranged for the first two signs and the organization of alumni will pay for two more signs that the Town will order. These signs will be at the east and west entrances. Commissioner Dean asked for Home of to be added to the signs. Commissioner Dean made a motion to accept the Golden Eagle State Championship signs. Commissioner Hamer seconded and the vote was unanimous. Reports: Manager Pearson reported that each commissioner has a schedule of all the NC STEP kick-off celebrations and they are invited to attend these celebrations. The Rescue Squad building lot has been graded and the loan closing should happen soon. Specified paving around town that began in February 2006 should be finished this month. The Code Enforcement Officer has begun work and is doing a good job. Police: Chief McDowell reported that the police station has new computers so not all the police monthly reports were available with this packet due to transferring the information and systems. NIMS classes have to be taken by all public officials and department heads which Chief hopes to arrange by October 2006. National Night Out went well. Mayor and Mayor pro Tem moved from park to neighborhoods and were glad to see the success. Commissioner McLean volunteered to help next year. Commissioners: Commissioner Dean reminded the Board that the minutes from the Laurinburg-Maxton airport commission meeting are in the packet material. It included the fact that Mac Henderson was voted chairman of the commission. The July 3rd NC STEP Kickoff Celebration DVD cost is now $20. Mayor Pro Tem McLaurin suggested that the Town recognize the most improved area of town after the Clean Sweep. Public forum: No one came forward to speak. Commissioner McLean made a motion to adjourn. Commissioner Dean seconded the motion. ______________________________ _______________________________ Mayor Lillie A.
