Foundation for the Arts was formed by area citizens and a capital campaign was created to renovate the auditorium with a final estimate for the project at 485,000 Ms Byrd stated after one year of fundraising only 250,000 was available ; therefore , so the auditorium could begin holding functions , the Benson Foundation for the Arts decided to proceed with the renovation and eliminated several parts of the project which included restrooms on the auditorium level Ms Byrd continued that the auditorium is used by various groups in Johnston , Wake , and Harnett Counties and in 2014 , 24 events were held She stated of those using the auditorium , it is estimated that 50 are events that live outside the Benson area She noted as of today , 25 events are already booked for 2015 Ms Byrd also stated the court system uses the facility every Friday for court Ms Byrd reported no restrooms exist on the auditorium level and visitors must go out of the auditorium and take the elevator , which only holds five people , to the ground level to get to the restrooms She stated the situation creates a bottleneck for sold - out shows as well as confusion for attendees trying to find the restrooms

County offices and she remembers when the first GIS computer was introduced to the staff at the Register of Deeds , where she worked at the time She stated back then before computers when someone had to research a piece of property , that process could be very long and drawn out Ms Norris stated when GIS was brought in , it reduced that process to only a few minutes and the popularity of GIS became an instant success with the paralegals and surveyors in the County Ms Norris spoke on how the County’s GIS Department has advanced over the years noting the GIS application called “ Map Click ” was launched online in 1999 and Johnston County was one of the first counties in the State to offer a web application which again became an instant success with the public Ms Norris stated by having the GIS application online , it allows someone from their own computer to access deeds , plats , tax maps , property owner information , etc Ms Norris stated in the early 2000s , GIS branched out and started working closer with Johnston County 911 - Communications to develop different GIS layers that related to rescue and fire districts and today she is proud to say that the 911 system works solely off of the GIS data Ms Norris stated it is extremely important to her and her staff that the data in GIS is as accurate as possible because it involves people’s lives when ambulances and fire trucks are using their data to respond to emergencies She stated because of the seriousness of the keeping the data accurate , her staff works diligently to ensure the data is correct Ms Norris stated in their current repository of data , they have approximately 275 layers with the addition of 25 layers in the past year She noted they have recently added layers for urgent care centers , hotels meeting venues , arts and entertainment , and shopping Ms Norris stated one of the recently added layers she is most excited about is their “ ortho - photography through time ” which allows an individual to pull up a piece of property and then use a scroll bar to view aerial images of the property over time and see how it has changed Ms Norris stated they upgraded their systems and servers last year in an effort to keep everything current Ms Norris stated from January 2015 to May 2015 , GIS had approximately 9,000 users each month accessing the GIS website She stated 637 of their users are return users and just in this year alone they have had 363 new visitors to the website Page2603 June 1 , 2015 – 10 00 am Continued Ms Norris thanked the Board for allowing her to talk about the

Public Utilities – Amendment to Clayton Raleigh & Johnston County Raleigh Interlocal Agreements Director of Utilities Chandra Coats , PE , reported in 2007 the City of Raleigh and Johnston County entered into an interlocal agreement for the treatment of 500,000 gallons per day gpd of wastewater from Johnston County’s service area at Raleigh’s Neuse River wastewater treatment plant At the same time , the City of Raleigh and Town of Clayton entered into an interlocal agreement for the treatment of 500,000 gpd of wastewater from Clayton’s service area at Raleigh’s Neuse River wastewater treatment plant Ms Coats reported due to the expansion of Clayton’s ETJ , Johnston County assigned its wastewater treatment allocation from Raleigh to the Town of Clayton in a separate interlocal agreement She noted the connection to the Raleigh system was delayed due to the economic recession ; however , the Town of Clayton plans to move forward with construction in the near future , and the City of Raleigh and Town of Clayton have proposed an amendment to the original agreements Ms Coats outlined the amendment terms as follows • Acknowledges the assignment agreement between the Town of Clayton and Johnston County dated October 3 , 2005 • The City of Raleigh’s fee structure is modified However , all fees to Raleigh will be paid by the Town of Clayton • The agreement term has been extended to 2027 Ms Coats requested the Board to approve the agreement amendment and offered to answer any questions Commissioner Allen L Mims , Jr asked why Johnston County is still part of the agreement since Johnston County assigned its wastewater treatment allocation from Raleigh to Clayton Ms Coats explained the original assignment agreement between the County and Clayton was never formally acknowledged by the City of Raleigh and this amendment would formally acknowledge that assignment in the interlocal agreement She added under the amendment , Johnston County would be formally removed from the agreement Commissioner Mims recalled that in 2007 , the County rejected a proposal for a ten year allocation agreement with the City of Raleigh because the Board felt that ten years was not long enough to run sewer service to houses that would last 50 + years Ms Coats agreed that in 2007 the County was not comfortable with a ten year agreement She stated ultimately the area that would have been served by the allocation was off of Pritchard Road which became a part of the Clayton ETJ and the County knew it would not have to serve that area Commissioner Mims expressed concerns that the County is still even a part of the process and he questioned if the County is taking on any liability by approving the amendment Page4605 June 1 , 2015 – 10 00 am Continued Ms Coats stated under the amendment the County is being formally removed from the agreement ; therefore , the Town of Clayton would be responsible for any fees to the City of Raleigh if something were to happen on the allocation County Attorney Jennifer Slusser agreed with Ms Coats and stated with this particular agreement amendment , it removes Johnston County from any agreement with the City of Raleigh and or the Town of Clayton and all of the responsibility is being assigned to the Town of Clayton Commissioner Mims spoke on the calls he has received from citizens regarding how the towns can pursue condemnation in the County and those citizens have no recourse and are not able to vote for those town officials if they live outside of the city limits Commissioner Mims stated he thought the County did have a voice with regards to condemnation by towns in the County ; however , he has been advised by the County Attorney that the County does not have any say with regards to condemnation by towns within the County He reported the County would only have a say regarding condemnation by a municipality outside of the County Commissioner Mims stated he sympathizes with those citizens currently dealing with condemnation proceedings by the Town of Clayton noting in his 17 years as a County Commissioner he is aware of only three condemnations the County has had to pursue with all the water and sewer line projects that have been completed He continued that as he understands with the project the Town of Clayton is pursuing , 4 out of 40 easements are being pursued through condemnation Commissioner Ted G Godwin asked what would happen if the Board chose not to take any action Ms Slusser stated it is her understanding that Raleigh is requesting the amendment in an effort to show on paper everything that has transpired with the allocation including the assignment from the County to the Town of Clayton Commissioner Jeffrey P Carver commented that as he understands , this amendment is a cleanup document for the allocation and there would be no liability to the County Upon a motion by Commissioner Jeffrey P Carver , seconded by Commissioner DeVan Barbour , and carried by unanimous vote , the Board approved the following agreement amendment FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE CLAYTON RALEIGH INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT and THE JOHNSTON COUNTY RALEIGH INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT This AMENDMENT to
