PUBLIC HEARING – COUNTY GOVERNMENT
APPOINTMENTS OF ETJ REPRESENTATIVES TO THE TOWN OF BOONE’S PLANNING COMMISSION AND BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
Chairman Hodges declared a public hearing open at 7:02 P.M. to consider appointments of ETJ representatives to the Town of Boone’s Planning Commission and Board of Adjustment.
Planning & Inspections Director, Joe Furman, addressed the Board and explained the procedures for making additional appointments to both the Town of Boone’s Planning Commission and Board of Adjustment. The Town of Boone had recently expanded its extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) and in order to have representatives from the western part of the County, the Town had requested the Board hold a public hearing to appoint two (2) members to the Town of Boone’s Planning Commission and Board of Adjustment to fill the new ETJ positions. Mr. Furman stated that N.C. General Statutes (160A-362) required the Board to hold this public hearing.
Mr. Furman stated that appointments must be made from applications received either before or at the public hearing. In addition, he noted that appointments must be made presently or within 45 days following the public hearing. If the Board did not make the appointments, the Town of Boone could make appointments within 90 days of this date. Mr. Furman noted six applications had been received. He indicated that the Planning Commission met once a month and its function was to consider long range planning (i.e. zoning map changes and revisions). The Board of Adjustment administered the zoning ordinance and considered various land use appeals. Mr. Furman stated the Board of Adjustment met once per month also.
Chairman Hodges noted that one of the new positions on the Planning Board was a 3-year term and the other position was a 1-year term. It was agreed upon that the individual who received the majority of votes would serve the 3-year term and the "runner-up" would serve a 1-year term.
There being no public comment, Chairman Hodges declared the public hearing closed at 7:07 P.M.
Chairman Hodges noted the following applications had been received from individuals who were interested in serving:
James Robert Sanders – Planning Board
Jamey Hodges – Planning Board
Paul Gragg – Planning Board or Board of Adjustment
Wayne L. Sumner – Planning Board
L. Hal Anderson – Planning Board or Board of Adjustment
Pat Vines – Planning Board or Board of Adjustment
Later during the meeting, appointments needed to be made to various Boards and Commissions, and it was agreed upon to make the appointments to the Town of Boone’s Planning Commission and Board of Adjustment at that time.
PUBLIC HEARING – COUNTY GOVERNMENT
AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE V OF THE ORDINANCE TO ESTABLISH A PLANNING AGENCY FOR WATAUGA COUNTY
Chairman Hodges declared a public hearing open at 7:10 P.M. to consider an amendment to Article V of the Ordinance to Establish a Planning Agency for Watauga County.
At the Board’s October 4, 1999 regular meeting, the Board voted to add a member of the Watauga County Board of Education to the Watauga County Parks & Recreation Commission (WCP&RC). Chairman Hodges explained that due to this additional position to the WCP&RC, that the County’s Ordinance to Establish a Planning Agency for Watauga County (Article V) needed to be amended.
There being no public comment, Chairman Hodges declared the public hearing closed at 7:11 P.M.
Commissioner Lawrence seconded by Commissioner Coffey, moved to approve the amendment to Article V of the County’s Ordinance to Establish a Planning Agency for Watauga County.
VOTE: Aye-5

ORDINANCE BOOK #10, PAGE #3
PROPOSAL FOR HIRING AN ENGINEER FOR A SITE STUDY
Maintenance Supervisor, Robert Marsh, addressed the Board regarding a feasibility study of the area adjacent to the County’s Human Services Center (discussed at the Board’s December 21, 1999 meeting). Four firms had expressed an interest in submitting proposals, and the following bid proposals were received:
Draper Aden Associates $ 9,850
Blacksburg, VA
GAI Consultants-NC, Inc. $20,560
Boone, NC
Municipal Engineering Services Company, P.A. $ 2,500
Boone, NC
Mr. Marsh stated he had reviewed each of the proposals and recommended the Board’s endorsement to accept the Draper Aden proposal in the amount of $9,850.
Commissioner Coffey seconded by Commissioner Lawrence, moved to accept the Draper Aden Associates proposal of $9,850.
Prior to the vote, Vice-Chairman Sweeting asked Mr. Marsh why he did not endorse the low bidder, Municipal Engineering Services Company, P.A. (MESC). Mr. Marsh stated that MESC added an additional $5,700 to its original proposal in order to conduct a more complete survey of the site and a more in-depth investigation for possible use of the entire site including a topographical survey. In addition, he noted that Draper Aden Associates (DAA) had previously worked at the Human Services Center and had a lot of background information about the site. Mr. Marsh felt that although DAA was not the lowest bidder, that the firm would do a good job in providing this study for the County. The following vote was then made on Commissioner Coffey’s motion.
VOTE: Aye-5
Nay-0
County Manager Nelson briefly reviewed the County’s current Procurement Rules (procedures and amounts). No changes were recommended at this time, and this item was for the Board’s information.
PARKS & RECREATION GRANT APPLICATION PROPOSAL
Mr. Stephen J. Poulos, Parks & Recreation Assistant Athletic Director; Ms. Keron Poteat, Parks & Recreation Specialist II; and Sarah Uminski, Watauga Youth Network, addressed the Board regarding a grant application proposal. The Governor’s Crime Commission had established a grant to assist programs with youth/teen opportunities in order to prevent these youth from becoming "at-risk" teens. The potential monetary award of this grant could be as much as $50,000. If approved and awarded, this grant would be used to help supplement existing after-school programs in the County. This would benefit not only youth in the area that were served through this program (5th-8th graders) but would also benefit the County’s Parks & Recreation Department in potential preparation of its own after-school programming in the future. Ms. Uminski briefly reviewed the County’s current after-school program and activities. She noted there were currently 20 children enrolled in the after-school program at Parkway Elementary School, and Ms. Uminski felt that this grant award would help parents who could not afford the cost of the after-school program but wanted their children to participate. She stated the County would not be obligated monetarily by this grant, however, Parks & Recreation staff time would be required to help conduct this program. The Watauga Youth Network would serve as the 25% matching agent with Parks & Recreation serving as the contractual agent. The pre-application was due to the Governor’s Crime Commission by January 31, 2000, and if selected, the applicant would be invited to submit a full application no later than April 30, 2000. Although the pre-application was not completed this date, Ms. Uminski requested the Board’s approval to submit the pre-application to the Governor’s Crime Commission no later than January 31, 2000 for this purpose.
Commissioner Lawrence seconded by Vice-Chairman Sweeting, moved to approve this request.
VOTE: Aye-5

LOCAL EMERGENCY PLANNING COMMITTEE GRANT AWARD
County Manager Nelson stated that Fire Marshal, Lisa Shoun, had received notification from the N.C. Emergency Response Commission that the Emergency Management Office was recently awarded a Hazardous Materials Emergency Preparedness Grant for the County’s local emergency planning committee in the amount of $1,000. This money must be used for hazardous materials planning and response, and Mr. Nelson stated that Ms. Shoun proposed using these funds towards the purchase of a laptop computer for the Emergency Management Office. In addition, Ms. Shoun had requested that, when received, this money be placed in Emergency Management’s line and held over to Fiscal Year 2000/2001 in order to acquire the additional funds needed to purchase a laptop computer. County Manager Nelson stated this grant award did not require a local match.
Vice-Chairman Sweeting seconded by Commissioner Lawrence, moved to approve the Hazardous Materials Emergency Planning Grant Agreement as presented.

C. Digital Images of Improved Properties – Tax Administrator McLean addressed the Board regarding a planned program for procuring digital photographs of improved properties as a part of the County’s 2002 revaluation project. He stated that this procedure would eliminate costs (approximately $2.00 per parcel). Mr. McLean added that the Tax Office planned to use the photographs internally in the appraisal office for value analysis, for the Board of Equalization and Review appeals, and for quality control. There was no plan to put the images on the Internet
or to make the images routinely available to the public, however, the photographs would be public record. Mr. McLean stated that in order to deter requests for photographs, office staff would require the requests in writing and might possibly impose a charge. He felt that a benefit of having images would save the County money on future revaluations. Several of the Commissioners voiced their concern, that if this request was approved, property owners might feel this process was an invasion of privacy. Commissioner Lawrence asked Mr. McLean to make a list indicating both the pros and cons of this request and to report back to the Board at its meeting scheduled for February 22, 2000. In addition, County Attorney Hedrick stated that he and Mr. McLean would contact the N.C. Association of County Commissioners for further research regarding this matter.
RETREAT TOPICS & GUIDANCE
County Manager Nelson stated he had spoken with each of the Commissioners individually, and it was the consensus of the Board to have a retreat to discuss different issues that might affect the County in the near future. He suggested the Board schedule either one eight-hour day (8:00 AM- 5:00 PM w/lunch) or two half-day meetings (6:00 P.M.-10:00 P.M. and 8:00 A.M.-12:00 P.M.). Mr. Nelson added a facilitator from the Institute of Government would conduct the retreat and would charge $500. The Board briefly discussed dates and locations for the retreat, and Mr. Nelson stated he would verify if the Institute of Government would charge $1,000 if the Board elected two half-day meetings or if the $500 charge would apply regardless. Mr. Nelson planned to discuss this issue further at the Board’s next regular meeting scheduled for February 7, 2000.
WATAUGANET FUNDING REQUEST
County Manager Nelson stated that WataugaNet, Inc. had requested $10,000 from the County in order to establish an on-line community for Watauga County. This request was made during the Fiscal Year 1999/2000 budget preparation. Mr. Nelson had spoken with Dr. Paul Combs, Director of Appalachian Regional Development Institute, and Dr. Combs had informed him that the previous County Manager, Barry J. Reed, had agreed to a $3,000 appropriation, however, the funding had not been received. In addition, the Town of Boone appropriated $3,000, the Town of Blowing Rock allocated $3,000, and the Town of Seven Devils had paid $500 for this purpose. Mr. Nelson stated that Dr. Combs had requested the County appropriate the previously agreed upon amount of $3,000. He added the funds were available in the Administrative budget.
