funds needed to complete the project would also come from the Register of Deeds Automation Fund He explained the funds are generated from 10 of the miscellaneous revenues that are collected by the Register of Deeds Office which are set by the General Assembly At the inquiry of Commissioner Tony Braswell , Director of Finance Chad McLamb reported the funds are designated as “ reserved ” specifically for automated enhancement ; however , because the reserved funds are in the County’s General Fund , it will increase the County’s budgeted expenditures Mr McLamb stated there are sufficient funds to cover the entire cost Commissioner Stewart asked what the funds could be used for , if not for the automation project Mr McLamb stated if Mr Olive did not go forward with the automation project , the funds would stay in the County’s General Fund ; however , the funds would remain as “ reserved funds ” and could not be used for any other purpose than the automation project Mr McLamb clarified that although the reserved funds are not included in the fund balance calculations , the funds will increase the budgeted expenditures which does in turn have a slight affect on the fund balance Commissioner Jeffrey P Carver added that although the expenditure may seem small , it is an expenditure that will increase the need for additional fund balance Commissioner Braswell

Office would like to adopt HUD’s minimum standard regulations that the voucher size , regardless of age , sex or family composition , will be based on one bedroom per every two people Ms Norris added that due to the recent reduction in HUD funding , the change would allow the HAPP Office to better utilize funds and maximize the number of families being served Chairman Allen L Mims , Jr asked about

family She stated if the policy amendment is approved , it would be effective October 31 , 2011 for all new families and existing families would not be changed until their next examination , per HUD

requesting the Board to recertify the amount of matching funds needed for the Runway Safety Area Project RSA grant He explained that the project has experienced an overrun due to costs for additional fill material needed for construction of the embankment as well as an additional safety related project component has been added Mr Blackmon reported the project overrun was due to a miscalculation on the fill material that was required for the embankment which had an increased cost of 84,000 representing an additional 8,400 in local match funds He stated the Division of Aviation has agreed to reissue the grant with the additional 84,000 which would require a recertification on the 10 local match of 8,400 Mr Blackmon stated the additional safety related component is a clearing project that is needed due to obstacles in the surface areas on both runway approaches Mr Blackmon reviewed maps with the Board of the proposed clearing areas Mr Blackmon specifically referenced one piece of property that represents a small tract of land the Airport Authority either needs to purchase or obtain an easement from the property owner whereby the Authority would pay the landowner to clear and maintain the site Mr Blackmon stated the total cost of the clearing project is 208,000 with the local 10 match being 20,800 Mr Blackmon stated the total 10 match recertification amount would be 29,200 including both the RSA project overrun and the additional clearing project County Manager Rick Hester reminded the Board that the Airport Authority has agreed to loan the County the 10 local matching funds and the additional 29,200 would be included in that loan , if approved Page1554 October 3 , 2011 – 10 00 am Continued Upon a question by Commissioner Tony Braswell , Mr Blackmon stated the NC Department of Transportation Division of Aviation and the project engineer , WK Dickson , has determined that the cost overrun for the additional fill material has been deemed a justifiable overrun and the Division of Aviation has agreed to grant the additional funds needed to complete the project Chairman Allen L Mims , Jr asked if WK Dickson provided the original fill material calculations Mr Blackmon confirmed that WK Dickson provided the original fill material calculations He explained that WK Dickson did the original calculations by using aerial imagery topography and that some of the areas had standing water in them at that time ; which as he understands , is what caused the miscalculation in the amount of fill dirt required Chairman Mims asked if any of the trees in the proposed clearing project are harvestable Mr Blackmon stated some of the trees may be harvestable ; however , much of the area consists of trees that have grown up since the last clearing in 1994 Mr Blackmon confirmed that the areas in the future will be maintained either by mowing or spraying to avoid future clearings Commissioner Wade M Stewart recalled that the Airport Authority came to the Board of Commissioners two months ago stating the RSA project had come in under budget and the Authority requested approval to go forward with a runway lighting system upgrade using the available funds Commissioner Stewart asked how the project overrun in the amount of 84,000 would affect the lighting project Mr Blackmon stated the project overrun will not affect the lighting system upgrade project Commissioner Stewart spoke on his frustration with projects , not only for the Airport Authority , but other County agencies as well , that are estimated to cost a certain amount only to later discover cost overruns Mr Blackmon stated that he understands Commissioner Stewart’s frustrations , adding that when the cost overrun was first brought up , it was difficult in that he knew additional funds would be needed Commissioner Jeffrey P Carver referenced the proposed clearing project and noted that it calls for light poles to be lowered , per height restrictions , on the north side of US Hwy 70 and he asked who would be responsible for the expense of lowering those light poles Mr Blackmon stated the light poles component has not been discussed in that the main focus is clearing the trees He stated the light poles can be addressed in the future because they are not an immediate threat , like the tree growth Chairman Mims referenced the trees identified for possible clearing in the Whitley Heights Subdivision and asked how those trees would be handled Mr Blackmon reported the Airport received a waiver from the FAA for the trees in the Whitley Heights Subdivision and he does not believe they will ever be an issue Commissioner DeVan Barbour moved the Board approve the recertification of the 10 local matching funds for the overrun on the Runway Safety Area Project in the amount of 8,400 and approve the 10 matching funds for the additional tree clearing project in the amount of 20,800 with the total amount of 29,200 to be added to the original Runway Safety Area Project loan from the Johnston County Airport Authority Commissioner W Ray Woodall seconded the motion which carried by unanimous vote 9 Public Utilities – Industrial Drive Force Main Gravity Sewer

Drive Force Main and Gravity Sewer Improvements project to RD Braswell Construction Company , subject to utility easement acquisition , and approved the project budget Ms Coats explained that project construction has not started due to the pending acquisition of one remaining easement In the interim , staff has received a request from the Town of Selma to divert a future average flow of 445,000 gpd into the proposed gravity sewer main Ms Coats stated in order to accommodate the request from the Town of Selma , the 2,268 LF of 10 ” gravity sewer line must be upsized from 10 ” to 12 ” main She
