600 Mr Wells reminded the Board that Johnston County held two countywide malt beverage elections during the past 10 years 1997 and 2002 , however , both elections were defeated by small margins He pointed out the results in the Cleveland Township in 1997 - total of 955 votes cast , 727 in favor of malt beverage issue and 228 against ; in 2002 - total of 1,331 votes cast , 884 in favor , 447 against Mr Wells stated , as a result of those elections , it is his opinion that the people in the Cleveland Township are overwhelmingly in favor of malt beverage sales He presented to the Board several documents , including a map illustrating the Cleveland Township , which consist of the North Cleveland and South Cleveland voting precincts The township is bounded on the west by Wake County , the east by Dickinson Road , the north by Swift Creek , and the south by Little Creek Mr Wells stated that over the past several years , Cleveland residents have heard rumors that grocery store chains were coming to the area , but this never came true In his opinion , one of the reasons the stores never came is because they would not be able to sell beer He noted that in 1997 , the “ liquor by the drink ” issue passed countywide , allowing establishments that qualify as restaurants to sell beer In the Cleveland area , three convenience stores can sell beer , however , the grocery store cannot because it does not qualify as a restaurant Approval of the malt beverage issue would allow grocery stores to be on the same footing as the convenience stores Page538 July 10 , 2006 – 1 00 pm Continued Mr Wells informed the Board that NC General Statute Section 18b - 600 states that these types of elections cannot be held during the general election in November of an even numbered year Therefore , he requested a special election to consider the malt beverage issue in the Cleveland Township NC General Statute also states upon the Commissioners ’ approval , the election must be held no earlier than 60 days or no later than th th 120 days Mr Wells noted 60 days from July 10 would be September 8 , and 120 days would be November th 7 , the day of the general election He requested the election take place on a Tuesday in late September in order to avoid voter confusion with the general election in November Mr Wells commented the residents of the Cleveland Township would not want to cause a burden on the rest of the county for something that they wished to do He stated that two individuals have agreed to reimburse the County for the cost of the special election Mr Wells presented for the Board’s consideration a proposed resolution that included all of the above points , and requirements of NC General Statute Section 18b - 600 He offered to answer any questions , and pointed out the attendance of other Cleveland residents at the meeting County Attorney Mark Payne noted that he had met with Mr Wells , and reviewed the legal standards for the township election He stated that it appears the Township and the County meet those standards Further , he commented that the resolution is legally satisfactory , if that is the direction the board wants to go in Commissioner Allen L Mims , Jr stated that as he remembers , the commissioners can call for a referendum anytime they want , unless General Statute specifically states otherwise Also , a person can get a petition of a certain percentage of the voters , and force a special referendum regardless of the commissioners ’ actions He asked whether Mr Wells had started a petition Mr Wells responded that Section 18b - 600 subsection f 2 states “ The election shall be held by the county board of elections upon request of the county board of commissioners or upon petition of twenty - five 25 percent of the registered voters of the township ” He noted that no one had started a petition , and commented that it would take a while to do this , considering the number of voters in the Cleveland Township Commissioner Wade M Stewart pointed out that another way to accommodate the malt beverage issue in the Cleveland Township is for the area to become an incorporated municipality Mr Wells agreed that incorporation may solve the issue , and if there was an incorporated town in that area , then it would be up to the town council to approve the election He noted that a town may not cover the entire township area , and the tax base would need to be such that it could support the expenses necessary to provide adequate services In his opinion , the township vote would allow more development in the area , and a different kind of development , such as large grocery chains , that could build the tax base , making it easier to incorporate at a later date Mr Wells stated that incorporation could not be done within the next 60 - 120 days The special election would provide the voters in the township something that they clearly want , and hopefully , push toward incorporation Commissioner Stewart commented that it may not be out of the ordinary for special township elections to occur , however , in his opinion , it appears to be a piece - meal approach He stated that he is accustomed to doing things countywide , and had no objection to another countywide referendum Commissioner Stewart asked if there was a grocery store in an adjacent township that may not fall within the request , and could be hurt by the special election in Cleveland Mr Wells recognized that approval of the special election in Cleveland may create a zone where the malt beverage laws are different than the rest of the county , but pointed out that any township in the county could do the same In response to Commissioner Stewart’s question , he stated that there is a Food Lion in the McGee’s Crossroads area , which is not in the Cleveland Township Commissioner Stewart asked Elections Director Teresa Davis if she would be able to calculate the entire cost of the special election so that taxpayers are not responsible for part of the bill Elections Director Teresa Davis estimated the total cost of the special election at 10,000 - 15,000 She noted each precinct would have two machines , with the programming expense being 2200 per machine , and also mentioned the expenses associated with early voting , absentee ballots , and precinct officials Ms Davis had spoken with Don White , State Attorney for the Board of Elections , and he confirmed the request falls into the category of a township election She stated that , if the Board approved the special election request , it would be best for the Elections Office if the Board scheduled the election as early as possible Page539 July 10 , 2006 – 1 00 pm Continued Commissioner Mims asked if the Board wanted to require some type of financial guarantee ahead of time Mr Wells noted the proposed resolution dictates that the costs would be covered Commissioner Stewart asked Mr Payne whether Cleveland Township residents would be absent from voting on countywide referenda of this nature in the future , if the request is approved and the Cleveland Township voters approve the special election Mr Payne responded that the Cleveland Township residents would still vote , however , the result of the countywide referendum would not affect their situation Commissioner Stewart stated , in his opinion , the people who already have what they want are not going to show up at the polls to vote for a countywide referendum , but those that are continually opposed in every election would show up to vote He expressed concern that all future referenda would be done on a piecemeal basis in Johnston County Mr Wells responded that a provision of the statute states the sale of food plus nonalcoholic beverages would be required to exceed the sale of alcoholic beverages for any establishment that qualifies for a permit because of a township election This restriction is not on the countywide vote He pointed out that it would be important for Cleveland residents to turn out for a countywide vote , in order to lift the restriction Commissioner Tony Braswell requested the Chairman give the Board time to review the documents presented by Mr Wells Chairman Pope postponed further discussion on the item until the 6 00 pm meeting 5 Joint Public Hearing - Johnston County & Town of Smithfield – 1 05 pm – Economic Development Incentive Package Public hearing was delayed due to lengthy discussion on Item 4 County Advertisement June 27 , 2006 The Smithfield Herald The Chairman opened the public hearing , and stated the purpose of the hearing is to allow for comments on a proposal for the County to provide certain economic incentives , pursuant to NCGS 158 -

tech person and grading contractor with 30 years experience She noted this was the reason JCS did not have a total cost figure until the end of the project Ms Williams estimated the additional grading work at approximately 400,000 Secondly , the sewer costs at the Dixon Road site turned out to be more than JCS expected Finally , she stated JCS has always bought equipment out of their budget , and in the past , has moved 800,000 for equipment at McGee’s Middle School Ms Williams noted JCS thought they would be able to carry funds over from the smaller project at Dixon Road to the larger project at West View , but unfortunately the funds have been depleted In regards to the West View School , she stated the individual contracts are higher but the design includes the additional 12 classrooms Also , JCS is responsible for traffic improvement costs , ie turn lane , stoplight Ms Williams noted the Board of Education has historically always added money to make projects work Further , she commented on the projects that will be funded by the second bond sale “ Wave 2 ” projects , and stated JCS has pulled a little of that money for architectural fees JCS worked with the same architectural firms they have used for years to design the Wave 2 projects , and tried to design them the exact same as in the past The bids for Northwest Middle School came in over 2 million higher than the last time the model was used Ms Williams pointed out this was the sixth time the model had been used , and the higher bids were a result of increased construction costs , ie gasoline , concrete , steel She reminded the Board that JCS took into consideration increasing construction costs , and raised their 2002 and 2003 school construction estimates by 10 for the 2004 bond list Ms Williams stated JCS looked at monies that were available , and noted that for the last two years JCS saved the ADM construction money , approximately 12 - 15 million per year They also checked to see if funds were left in other completed projects This resulted in the ability to move money around , and cover the costs of finishing the two elementary schools Dixon and West View , and go ahead with the Wave 2 projects Ms Williams stated JCS had three options 1 Redesign the projects that have come in over - bid , and chance over - bids a second time , 2 request additional funds from the Commissioners , or 3 eliminate the projects Mr Bartholomew added that the Board of Education was told by people who bid on the projects that construction cost would be going up again in 15 days Ms Williams pointed out that copper wiring went up 30 in 13 days Commissioner Stewart stated as he understood it there was a 15 million overrun on the Dixon Road School , and a 18 million overrun on the West View School He asked Ms Williams to explain the specific costs that make up each total overrun Commissioner Stewart also inquired about the projects designated for the second sale of the bonds Wave 2 projects , and whether the 375 million would cover the projects ’ costs Ms Williams responded that the list presented only included the projects with overruns ; other projects are on target She noted that in order to use the money JCS currently has , particular contracts had not been awarded , such as kitchen equipment at some of the schools In response to Commissioner Stewart’s question regarding the Wave 2 projects , Ms Williams stated the 375 million would not cover the projects ’ costs PagePage pageNumber7543 July 10 , 2006 – 1 00 pm Continued Commissioner Stewart stated he understood that an originally budgeted 135 million school is now 16 million , with the costs still going up , however , he expressed concern that contractors were not being held to the approved bid amounts Ms Williams responded contractors were honoring the awarded contracts , and any change orders were a result of architectural changes once the projects began She stated that JCS has worked hard to make sure the projects received the lowest bids Dr Parker added costs are increasing faster than anyone anticipated JCS checked with eight different school systems heavily involved in school construction , and their costs are up 40 - 60 Commissioner Allen L Mims , Jr asked if JCS still uses project ordinances He expressed concern that the request for additional funds is coming at the end of the projects , and suggested using project ordinances to make everyone aware of shortcomings before the schools are finished Commissioner Mims noted in 2002 , project ordinances were established , which sent up a flag every time something was over Further , he recalled that the school model was supposed to save on grading costs , and that thousands of yards of dirt could be saved by leaving one building lower than the rest Commissioner Mims asked if this had been applicable to recently constructed schools Ms Williams replied JCS uses project ordinances , however , the requested items are ones that the Board of Education usually handles without bringing to the Commissioners Further , she explained that the model school layout is not because of the grading , but rather the shape of the land She stated that all of the recent school sites are flat , with the exception of Dixon Road , and noted it was almost futile at this site For the first time , the connectors corridors between buildings are ramped , which is not so with the other schools Mr Bartholomew noted 300 million has been spent on schools over the past 15 years , and pointed out the Commissioners approved all of the funding He stated the budget request was not uncommon , and the Board of Education has presented similar requests in the past Mr Bartholomew thanked the Board for their questions In response to further questions from Commissioner Stewart regarding the overruns , Ms Williams added the following 1 West View project cost between 700,000 - 800,000 more because it is a bigger school , 2 West View stoplight cost 100,000 , 3 additional expenses for other issues with DOT concerning grading at West View She reiterated , as far as contractors and approved bids , there were no cost overruns Commissioner Stewart suggested in the future JCS give the Commissioners information on the approved bids and the final expenses for the projects Commissioner Cookie Pope instructed the Board to take the request under advisement , and possibly discuss further at the 6 00 pm board meeting 9 Introduction of Bond Order and Call for Public Hearing -

lane on Dixon Road , Mr Little noted the turn - lanes would be at the cost of the schools DOT will be widening and resurfacing the road to provide approximately one additional foot of pavement on each side to accommodate the traffic for the new school Commissioner Wade M Stewart asked how many miles of unpaved roads remain in the county , and about the status of Elizabeth Road in the Brogden community Mr Little responded there are approximately 20 miles of unpaved roads on the priority list , and an additional 10 miles of unpaved roads not on the list Elizabeth Road is currently number 16 on the priority list , and would probably be included in the 2008 -

2006 and 2006 - 07 WHEREAS The Johnston County Board of Commissioners has received from the Department of Transportation the 2005 - 2006 and 2006 - 07 Secondary Road Construction Programs as presented by North Carolina Department of Transportation officials , said roads being a part of the system maintained by the Department of Transportation , Division of Highways ; and WHEREAS After careful consideration of the services rendered by said roads and the traffic demands of said County , it is deemed necessary that said roads be improved in order to better serve the interest of the people of Johnston County NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Johnston County Board of Commissioners hereby concurs with the requests of the North Carolina Department of Transportation to make the improvements on the roads listed on the Secondary Road Construction Programs for 2005 - 2006 and 2006 - 07 12 Public Hearing – 1 30 pm – Cleveland Fire Department Request for First Responder Franchise Public hearing was delayed due to lengthy discussion on previous items Advertised June 23 , 27 , 2006 – The Smithfield Herald The Chairman opened the public hearing , and stated the purpose of the hearing is to allow public comment on an application from the Cleveland Fire Department requesting a franchise amendment allowing the department to operate as a first responder unit in their district Page2548 July 10 , 2006 – 1 00 pm Continued Emergency Services Director Dewayne West stated the request is a result of a recommendation from the Emergency Services Advisory Committee to franchise the Cleveland Fire Department as a first responder unit The department previously had a first responder franchise , however , had to cease the service when the number of volunteers dwindled Since that time , the department has trained new volunteers , and would like to re - establish the service to their community There being no further comments , the Chairman closed the public hearing Commissioner Wade M Stewart stated that first responder units are one of the best services that fire departments can provide , and moved the Board grant the franchise to the Cleveland Fire Department to operate as a first responder unit in their district Commissioner Tony Braswell seconded the motion , which carried by th unanimous vote The Board agreed to take a required second vote on the item at the July 10 6 00 pm meeting 13 Public Hearing – 1 35 pm – Boundary Adjustment - Territories of Clayton & 50 - 210 EMS Depts Public hearing was delayed due to lengthy discussion on previous items Advertised June 23 , 27 , 2006 – The Smithfield Herald The Chairman opened the public hearing , and stated the purpose of the hearing is to allow public comment on a recommendation from the EMS Advisory Committee for a boundary adjustment within the currently served territories of Clayton and 50 - 210 EMS Departments Emergency Services Director Dewayne West stated the request is a result of a recommendation from the Emergency Services Advisory Committee to adjust the boundaries of the Clayton and 50 - 210 EMS departments The adjustment would shift the boundary from Cleveland Road Highway 1010 to Swift Creek This would add approximately 450 calls to the 50 - 210 department , balance the call volume between the two departments , and allow for the growth that is anticipated in the Clayton area Mr West noted that within 24 months , Clayton’s call volume would probably return to what it is now even with the adjustment If the Board approves the boundary adjustment , 50 - 210 has agreed to place an EMS unit at the Cleveland Fire Department , which would make response much quicker Commissioner Allen L Mims , Jr asked whether both departments were in agreement in regards to the boundary adjustment Mr West stated everyone was in agreement at the Emergency Services Advisory Committee meeting , however , representatives from the Clayton department are in attendance at the meeting today Chris Cangeni , Clayton EMS Chief , appeared before the Board , and read the following statement Since its establishment in 1963 , the men and women of Clayton Area Rescue have unselfishly given of themselves for the betterment of the community to include serving the Cleveland area The sacrifices of time and family each has given have made a significant difference in the lives that they have touched There dedication , heroics , and front line medial care have truly made a difference over the past 43 years Last year when called upon by the Commissioners , Clayton Area Rescue rose to the occasion providing EMS coverage to the citizens of the Corinth Holder Area Under the direction of then Chief Stefan Fehr , Clayton strategically put into place a fully staffed around the clock paramedic unit Now a permanent fixture in the community , and through the generosity of the Commissioners and the community , a new fire station is scheduled to be in Corinth Holder , which will also house the Clayton Area Rescue Paramedic Unit and continue to provide EMS coverage 24 hours a day The visionary foresight of the Clayton Board of Directors saw the need to hire a full - time Chief to oversee EMS operations So in August of 2005 , the first full - time EMS Chief of Clayton Area Rescue began his duties at the helm Now a year later , Clayton has expanded its full - time staff to fifteen to include a daytime Operations Captain , three shift Paramedic Lieutenants , a full - time administrative assistant , an operating budget of 13 million dollars and a volunteer force of 31 members The organization’s success can be attributed to the teamwork of the full - time and volunteer workforce The common goal of providing the best patient care has made the teams success measurable by the health and well - being of our community Clayton Area Rescue understands the importance of our County Administration and its political leaders Their job to assure that Johnston County is a seamless and efficiently run government is not an easy task Assuring the citizens have adequate EMS coverage is only one ofPage3549 July 10 , 2006 – 1 00 pm Continued the many duties they must undertake Although we may disagree with some of the decisions made , we honor and respect both the decisions and the political climate each Commissioner must endure The current boundary adjustment recommended by the EMS Advisory Board to the Commissioners still gives our organization an uneasy feeling as to the future of EMS delivery in the proposed boundary change Although Clayton will respect and fully support the final decision , we must address our concerns in this public forum as we have in previous meetings dealing with this boundary modification The proposed boundary adjustment does not assure adequate response times as per the County franchise agreement nor does it provide the same type of coverage throughout the twenty - four hour day The newly approved 250,000 tax increase and EMS funding disbursement for each franchise will not support this boundary change The plan’s short comings will require increase funding needed to make the boundary change successful That will surely place an even heavier financial burden on the taxpayers As Chief of Clayton Area Rescue , I ask each Commissioner to review the initial strategic plan established for the boundary change , and inquire about an alternate plan When the boundary change takes place and lacks the appropriate funding , where will the additional funding come from Also , please review the goals and standards that are in place to measure the boundary change success As part of our overall strategic plan , Clayton Area Rescue has carefully considered what is needed in the Cleveland Community for appropriate EMS delivery We have carefully studied the area growth , its projected population , transportation corridors and the health care needs of the community We ask that each Commissioner consider not limiting the growth of any EMS franchise in Johnston County If the franchise can meet the demand placed upon it without further burdening the taxpayers , receive the appropriate backing from the Johnston County Office of Emergency Services and the support of the County Commissioners , then it would only show the structure , commitment and organizational integrity of that franchise for others to follow There being no further comments , the Chairman closed the public hearing Commissioner Wade M Stewart moved the Board approve the boundary adjustment for the Clayton and 50 - 210 EMS departments Commissioner Allen L Mims , Jr seconded the motion , which carried by unanimous th vote The Board agreed to take a second vote on the item at the July 10 6 00 pm meeting 14 Public Utilities -
