MEMORANDUM January 2, 1986 Mr. John P. Smith City Manager 234 Green Street Fayetteville, North Carolina 28301 Dear Mr. Smith: The Board of Directors of Fayetteville Progress is in the process of defining our work program and budget for 1986. Because so much of what we do is done in partnership with the City, we feel that we need some formal confirmation from City Council of the work program which we wish to undertake jointly in the coming year. As I stated to the Council previously, we also must look to the City to share in the cost of those activities which we undertake on behalf of the City. We have identified six areas in which we feel Fayetteville Progress needs to be working in the coming year, as follows: 1. begin implementation of the targeted economic strategy 2. continue to assist the developer of LaFayette Square in satisfying all financing and lease conditions 3. continue to assist individual property owners in planning and implementing renovation projects 4. continue to assist the City in matters pertaining to the Prince Charles Hotel development 5. continue to seek development of larger vacant or partially-vacant downtown buildings 6. seek additional new residential development within Hay/Branson Neighborhood Conservation Area In implementing the economic development strategy, our objective for 1986 would be to set up a network of professional services to be available to potential entrepreneurs at reasonable cost, as recommended by our consultant, Mr. Boyle, as a first step in creating a more entrepreneurial environment in the community. We would also start work on establishing a small business incubator facility, and work towards identifying sources of capital and financing for small business development and expansion within the community. Additionally, we would assist the city and the Economic Development division of the Chamber of 2504 Raeford Road/ Suite B/ Fayetteville, North Carolina 28305/ (919) 323-1313 we accept the proposal and decide later to go into the pool, we can cancel the policy. The second matter deals with airport liability. Please review the attached correspondence. After reviewing the matter, I concur with Mr. Ray and will proceed accordingly unless council feels otherwise. With regard to the Prince charles Hotel, I am of the opinion that we should leave it uninsured until we decide what we are going to do with it.

The City Engineer stated that NCDOT plans to widen Morganton Road on the south side in the vicinity of Skye Drive. We have been advised that the existing PWC utility lines will have to be moved and that the City should ask (if the City desires to do so) for NCDOT to acquire adequate right-of-way for the utility lines to be relocated and if so desired, adequate space for future construction of sidewalks. The City can expect to be asked to participate in this project whether we ask for the additional right-of-way or not. The usual request is for 25 percent participation of right-of-way costs and utility relocation expense. We recommend approval. During the last week of December, 37 notices were mailed to property owners and residents in the vicinity of the proposed project.

She stated the City Manager had recommended in his memo that the City maintain the 30 percent discount on assessments for a definite period of time and then evaluate the actual impact and determine then if the policy should be changed. By setting a time frame, the City would not be in a position of singling out one street or neighborhood for a special discount. There was then some discussion of the matter. Mrs. Evans then moved that we do give a 30 percent discount on a one-year trial basis, seconded by Mr. Jones. There was then some further discussion.

Discussion of Murray Hill Road traffic. The City Engineer presented this matter and stated that on November 4, council implemented a trial plan of establishing three stop intersections on Murray Hill on a 90-day basis. This department has received a few complaints, but more favorable comments than complaints. We have performed two traffic counts since the two signs were installed which showed that traffic volume has been reduced by approximately 25 percent. The stop sign project was implemented after instructions from Council to have a neighborhood meeting to see if the residents wanted to implement this measure as an attempt to control speeding. The neighborhood meeting was held and a large majority wanted the stop intersection proposal tried. We would recommend leaving the stop intersections in place for the full 90-day period which will be up February 4. In the meantime, we will proceed with checking speed between the stop intersections and obtain another traffic volume count so we can give a better report on the effectiveness of the stop intersections. We would also recommend another neighborhood meeting or invite the residents to the Council meeting before the stop intersection project is abandoned. Mr. Wofford suggested that the Council let the trial run for the full 90 days Following some discussion, Mayor Hurley suggested having a public hearing on this matter at the next regular meeting of the Council. 7. Consideration of request for amendment for feeder street plan. It was recommended to refer this matter to the Planning Board and Engineering Department. The City Engineer presented this matter and referred to his memo in the agenda packet. (A copy of this memo is on file with the original minutes of this meeting.) However, he suggested a thorough report by Engineering and Planning Staff and a report back to City Council. He stated the letter from Mr. Baer requested from modifications to the Thoroughfare Plan so as to relieve the Taylor property of some of the burden imposed on it by the Plan. The proposed feeder street through the Taylor property was adopted by the City Council in the December of 1977 after due process through the City Planning Board. The street plan through this area was developed for a number of reasons. He stated that it was used by industrial traffic coming into Fayetteville destined for the industrial property south of Clark Park (Texas Industries area) must travel complaints of truck traffic traveling those streets. The feeder street would provide a higher type street from which an access could be constructed across Southern Railway into this industrial site. The property development plan and the feeder street plan does create an impact for property owners in surrounding neighborhoods; therefore should be reviewed very carefully. We recommend referring the request by Mr. Baer to the Cumberland County Joint Planning Board and the Engineering Department for a complete study and review. Mayor Hurley recognized Attorney Ervin Baer in behalf of Bobby and Ed Taylor, the owners. Mr. Baer stated he had suggested that the Taylors use the property for other than a mobile home park if possible. He requested reconsideration by modification of the proposed Master Thoroughfare Plan. Following some discussion, Mr. Jones offered motion that we eliminate the entire proposed thoroughfare plan through the property, seconded by Mrs. Felton. Following some further discussion, Mr. Wofford offered substitute motion that we send this matter back for restudy by the Planning and Engineering Departments and that the Taylors be consulted concerning the matter and with the utmost haste possible, motion seconded by Mrs. Evans and carried unanimously. Mayor Hurley declared the original motion lost. 8. Appointments: A. Appointment of Mrs. E. O. Chance as alternate member to Personnel Review Board. Mrs. Evans offered motion to appoint Mrs. Chance as an alternate member to the Personnel Review Board for a three-year term of office to run to December 10, 1988, seconded by Mrs. Felton and carried unanimously. 9. Delegations or individuals wishing to address Council Mayor Hurley recognized Mr. Harry McLaughlin with a question and a problem on Hilton Drive. Mr. McLaughlin stated that his problem concerned developments in this area. He stated that 39 vacant lots had been served by water and sanitary sewer at the present time. He stated that some will not ever be served. Mr. McLaughlin stated that Hilton Drive is now being torn up. He stated that his property now will not be served by sewer or water. He stated that he had been before Council several times before concerning this matter and had received no satisfaction. He stated that he would like to have some answers concerning this immediately. The City Engineer stated that Hilton Drive was not dedicated and that construction was stopped by the developer. He stated that he could study the matter further and report back to Council with some detailed information. There were then further comments by Mr. McLaughlin concerning the matter and stated that he proposed to take legal action if necessary. Council requested the City Engineer to study the matter in detail and make a report at a later date and assured Mr. McLaughlin that they would do all they could to resolve his problem. Mayor Hurley then recognized Mr. Clinton Harris, a local citizen, who stated that he was at the ground breaking ceremony at the Bordeaux Library and had talked to Mr. Cliff Strassenburg and it was his understanding that sidewalks were to be installed. He asked the status of the situation and when the sidewalks would be installed. The City Engineer informed Council that funds for such sidewalks were not in the present budget. He stated that he would incorporate them in the new budget. 10. Administrative Reports: A. Discussion of request from Wannie Coghill. He stated to Council that at the last meeting Mr. McBryde brought up Mr. Coghill's request for reconsideration of his zoning request. Mr. Coghill stated that he was unaware of the date of the Planning Board hearing and therefore did not attend. He was notified by mail 14 days after the hearing that his request had been denied, too late to appeal to the City Council. The Planning Board's records show a letter sent reminding him of the date of the hearing. The date of the hearing is also on the rezoning application. Nonetheless, it is certainly possible that Mr. Coghill was not familiar with the process and that the letter reminding him of the meeting was lost. Mr. Coghill made a request to Mr. Vaughn of the Planning Board for another hearing. That hearing was denied by the Board. Two other factors worthy of consideration were that 1) the Planning Staff recommended approving the rezoning and 2) an identical request on the adjoining piece of property is making its way to the Planning Board. City Council has two options: 1) Take no action, in which case the matter is closed and cannot come up for another year, or 2) initiate a rezoning, which would start the process again. In light of the fact that the Council may want to consider the Planning Staff's recommendation as well as the Planning Board's, I recommend Option No. 2. I do not feel that Council will be setting a bad precedent if it feels that based upon the planning staff recommendation, the rezoning may have merit not simply because Mr. Coghill failed to receive a letter. Following brief discussion, Mr. Wofford offered motion that the Planning Board initiate a rezoning as proposed by the City Manager, seconded by Mr. McBryde and carried unanimously. 11. Matters of Interest to Council: Mr. Jones extended thanks to the City Engineer for removing the eyesore on Green Street at Old Street. Mr. McBryde asked a question on parking on the Amtrak Station lot. He stated it was his understanding that patrons of the businesses on the south side of Hay Street were using the lot. The City Manager stated that he would meet with Sgt. Dalton of the Police Department on this matter. Mr. McBryde stated that the stop signs were down constantly on Murray Hill Road. He stated that it was his understanding that the Traffic Department of City Engineering could not be contacted on the weekends concerning this. He stated that it should be checked. The City Engineer stated that he had a constant problem with vandalism, but that he would attempt to correct the situation. Mr. McBryde requested that the traffic light be checked at the corner of Churchill Drive and Fort Bragg Road. He asked that the City Engineer check the setting on this light. He also stated that the setting on the light on Old Street be coordinated with the other lights on Old Street. The City Engineer acknowledged the request. Mr. Dawkins stated that he understood there were phone problems at PWC and asked if anything could be done. The City Manager stated he would pass this along to Mr. Tim Wood, PWC Manager. Mayor Hurley informed Council that there would be a planning meeting on Wednesday, January 29 at 5:30 p.m. in the Transit board room. Mayor Hurley stated that PWC wants a joint meeting with the Council and would meet at Council's convenience. A meeting was set with PWC for Wednesday, February 5 at 7:00 p.m. at PWC building. Mayor Hurley stated that he would be out of town next Monday, January 27, for the meeting, but that Mayor Pro Tem Dawkins would preside in his absence. Mayor Hurley then extended thanks to the Police Officer for being present this evening. The City Attorney informed Council that a copy of the new FCC regulation on satellite dishes had been received by him as yet. He stated that Council cannot take action next Monday night unless such regulation is received prior to that time. The City Attorney also informed Council that he is moving his offices from the Kyle House annex building on Thursday, January 23, to the Transit building on Hay Street. Mayor Hurley then informed Council that when this move takes place, the City Clerk will relocate from the Kyle House into the City Attorney's Office and the Public Relations Aide will move into the Clerk's Office. Mayor Hurley then stated he would entertain a motion for an executive session. Mrs. Felton then moved the Council enter into executive session for litigation, property, and attorney-client relationship, at 10:00 p.m., seconded by Mr. McBryde and carried unanimously. Mayor Hurley then adjourned the executive session and reconvened Council in regular session at 10:30 p.m. and adjourned the meeting upon motion made and duly seconded. JANUARY 16, 1986 MEMORANDUM TO: The Mayor and Members of City Council FROM: John P. Smith, City Manager SUBJECT: Discounts on Assessments The following analysis is based on a $1,000 assessment at various discount rates compared to five annual installments paid at 8% interest, on the declining balance. It also assumes the City can earn an average of 8% on investments: 1) Five installments at 8% on declining balance = $1,160 2) If the installment payments are invested as received for five years the yield at 8% would be $1,343. 3) $700 (30% discount) at 8% for five years = $1,029. 4) $750 (25% discount) at 8% for five years = $1,103. 5) $800 (20% discount) at 8% for five years = $1,176. 6) $850 (15% discount) at 8% for five years = $1,250. 7) $900 (10% discount) at 8% for five years = $1,323. The break even point appears to be around a 10% discount. This will vary greatly depending upon the interest rate at which funds can be invested by the City. There are other policy questions that should be considered. First, does the City want to establish a discount that will encourage early payment? Second, what impact should the Guy Circle decision have on the policy for other assessments? The extent to which a discount will encourage early payment depends upon the interest rate at any given time that a person could earn on his money or would have to pay if he borrowed money. The second question is in my opinion a key policy question. I do not believe that Guy Circle is a unique situation. Often assessments are levied against the will of property owners, especially in a newly annexed ares. l believe that the City did either intentionally or unintentionally establish a policy in the Guy Circle assessment. I therefore recommend that the City maintain the 30% discount on assessments for a definite INFORMATION MEETING MONDAY, JANUARY 27, 1986 INFORMATION MEETING CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBER MONDAY, JANUARY 27, 1986 7:00 P.M.

The City Attorney stated that he still had not received a copy of the FCC regulation. He stated he only had a summary. He stated that the regulation may cover more than t.v. antennas. He stated that he was anticipating receipt of the regulation within the next few days. He recommended that Council make no decision on this matter tonight.

She stated that evaluation is vital to this program. She stated that $10,000 to $15,000 would be the approximate cost of the program start-up. Mrs. Evans asked questions on this start-up cost and Mrs. Parker provided an explanation. The City Manager also added that the cost depends on the caseload under the program.

The City Manager then offered additional comments concerning the program for Council's information. 7. Presentation of a proposed burglar alarm ordinance. Recommended action was for information to the Council. The City Manager introduced this matter and stated that the information submitted is a portion of the information gathered by the Police Department regarding the problems with burglar alarms. The major problem is false alarms. Because of the complexity of the problem and the sensitivity, it has been difficult to come up with a final recommendation for an ordinance. Because of the serious nature of the problem and the sensitivity of any proposed solution, he stated he believed City Council's understanding of the issue and some direction from the City Council is necessary before proceeding further. He stated he was asking Chief of Police Ron Hansen to present the problems to you tonight, and hopefully out of your discussion, we can get some direction in drafting an ordinance. Mayor Pro Tem Dawkins recognized Chief Hansen who stated that the Police Department supports alarm systems but do not want to chase false alarms, which is both expensive and time-consuming. He gave statistics on false alarms. He requested City Council to consider a proposed ordinance. Mr. Wofford asked questions on the alarm board and the telephone system mentioned by Chief Hansen. Chief Hansen offered an explanation on the Holmes electric system and the telephone system and other types of systems. He reiterated that false alarms are a real problem. Mr. Wofford asked questions concerning bank systems and Mrs. Evans asked questions on the type of ordinance suggested. Chief Hansen suggested the possible removal of alarm systems from the Police Department. He stated that he had been working with the City Attorney on violations of the alarm system now in the Police Department. Mr. Wofford suggested a fee from those who connect to said system. There was general agreement among the Councilmembers with this suggestion. The City Manager suggested monitoring and a penalty for false alarms. Mr. Jones asked a question on alarms caused by short circuits. The City Manager stated that warnings would he issued. Mayor Pro Tem Dawkins asked if we want other input to the City Council concerning this, and Mr. Wofford stated that Mr. Wheeler and others were present in the audience. Mayor Pro Tem Dawkins then recognized anyone from the audience with comments. Mr. Jesse Watson, an alarm system company owner, was recognized with comments. He requested more active liaison with the Police Department. He stated there are codes and standards which must be followed. He suggested automatic cut-offs for home systems and stated that most companies will provide these. He stated that faulty equipment is in most cases to blame for false alarms. He asked, for example, how many false alarms are received from banks in the period of a year. He reiterated that he would like to have more liaison with the Police Department. Mayor Pro Tem Dawkins extended thanks to Mr. Watson for his remarks. Mayor Pro Tem Dawkins then recognized Mr. Luke Wheeler of Holmes Electric Company, who commented on monitoring alarm systems and on the cost for the use of present equipment by users and on the telephone system.

Mr. Wheeler replied that he was working with the Police Department now and have a good relationship and that he will be glad to meet with them concerning this matter.

The City Manager stated that it was a serious problem and we will get back to City Council with suggestions and recommendations. Mr. Wofford asked if the Police Department still provides money escort service and the City Manager replied in the affirmative. Mr. Wofford suggested that we should look at a fee for this service. Mayor Pro Tem Dawkins then stated that we will look to hear from the City Manager with suggestions. Mayor Pro Tem Dawkins then extended thanks to everyone for coming this evening.

Mr. Clyde Barringer, 2009 Morganton Road, was recognized in opposition to additional multiple-family units in the area. Mrs. G. W. Smith, 2001 Morganton Road and owner of 2003 Morganton Road, was recognized in opposition to additional apartment complexes in the area, She stated we had three such complexes already. Also, the additional traffic would be a hazard. Twelve persons stood in opposition to the rezoning. Mr. Dawkins offered comments that the City Council zones and rezones property and not people. Following some discussion, Mr. Dawkins offered motion to deny the request and leave the area RIO, seconded by Mr. McBryde. Mrs. Evans offered comments in favor of the rezoning.

Consideration of the rezoning from R5 Residential District to C1 Local Business District or to a more restrictive zoning classification for an area located on the east side or “B” Street On both sides of Minor Street.

Mr. Wood replied that they were working on this problem. Mr. Jones asked Mr. Wood concerning all overhead cable in the downtown area. Mr. Wood replied that underground cable is expensive to install bit that they are studying the question. 4. Consideration of Ray Avenue contracts.

The City Engineer stated that the low bidder on street construction was Cumberland Paving Company in the amount of $441,215.40 and on the landscape work, Greenscape, Inc. in the amount of $34,073.57. The contracts are for fixed unit prices of the various construction items with the quantities estimated; therefore, the final contract price may vary slightly from the bid amount. We recommend award of the contract to Cumberland Paving Company and Greenscape, Inc. as stated. The contract calls for completion of the work by July 31, 1986. Following brief discussion, Mr. Dawkins offered motion to approve the low bids as recommended, seconded by Mrs. Felton and carried unanimously. 5.

As you know this project has been allocated $100,000 from the CDBG Program. After appropriate review and evaluation, the Recreation and Parks Advisory Commission on January 20, 1986, selected Sears Design Group and unanimously recommended that they be awarded the design contract for the Savoy Heights project. Following brief discussion, Mrs. Evans offered motion to make the award as recommended, seconded by Mr. Dawkins. There was then some discussion of the matter. Parks Director Jack C. Wilson was recognized and presented information on the bids received. Following this, Mayor Hurley called for a vote on the motion and it carried unanimously. 7. Consideration of approval of sale of approximately one acre of property at the intersection of Buxton Boulevard, Sessoms Street and Montgomery Street (major portions of Plats 44-53, Plat Book 10, Page 51, Cumberland County Registry) to Western Assembly Disciples of Christ for the sum of $8,200. Approval was recommended. The City Attorney presented this matter and stated that it had been advertised for a minimum bid and that no additional bids were received. He stated he would prepare a resolution on this matter. The memo in the agenda packet from Community Development Department stated the Western Assembly Disciples of Christ Church made an offer of $8,200 for the land located on Buxton Boulevard. The re-use value was approved by the Fayetteville it Redevelopment Commission on November 19, 1985, and recommended sale of the property. Following brief discussion, Mr. Jones offered motion for approval as recommended, seconded by Mr. Wofford and carried unanimously. 8. Consideration of correction to Election District Boundary map. Approval was recommended. The City Manager stated we have recently discovered that there were some slight discrepancies between the data sheets and map submitted to the Justice Department. We have talked with Mr. Giacomini in Atlanta, who did the map work and Mr. Wilson, who has been dealing with the Justice Department. It appears that these errors were made when the consultant copied the lines from the small detailed maps to the large City map for adoption. Mr. Wilson has contacted the Justice Department, explained the discrepancies and told them that the error was made by the consultant and not by the City. The Justice Department has assured him that since their review is based on the population figures and not the map that correcting the map will not delay their review. Since a map was approved by the City Council, it takes Council action to correct it. None of the population figures will be affected, as they were based on the correct map. The map submitted show where the errors were made. A simple majority vote of City Council is all that is necessary to correct the previously adopted map. Mr. Wofford offered motion for approval of this matter, seconded by Mr. Dawkins and carried unanimously. Mr. Clinton Harris, a local citizen, requested to see the changes and he stated he may do so. 9. Consideration of the Prince Charles Development matters: A. Consideration of the resolution of the City of Fayetteville approving tee application for allocation for private activity bond for the Historic Railroad Station Development in the City of Fayetteville Central Business District Redevelopment Area. B. Consideration of the resolution of the City of Fayetteville approving the application for allocation for private activity bond for the renovation of the new construction of the Prince Charles Hotel facilities in the City of Fayetteville central Business District Redevelopment Area. C. Consideration of the resolution of the City of Fayetteville approving the application for allocation for private activity bond for new construction for an office building in the City of Fayetteville Central Business District Redevelopment Area. Adoption of the resolutions was recommended. The City Manager presented this matter and stated that Mr. John Schwarz has requested that the City Council go ahead and request a reservation of funds sufficient to finance the Hay Street Complex he is proposing. The State can allow issuance of only limited annual amount of these development bonds, and they have generally been allocated on a first come, first serve basis. Since Mr. Schwarz hopes that an acceptable package can be put together in the next few weeks, he has asked us to take the initial step of reserving a bond allocation for a target closing date of April 30. Under State procedures, the resolutions which the Council passed in November were good for 1985 only. The enclosed resolutions are the same except that the allocation requested will be for 1986. Mr. Wofford offered motion for approval and for adoption of the resolutions, seconded by Mr. Dawkins and carried unanimously.

Consideration of paving assessment on Powell Street. The City Engineer presented this matter and stated that a new assessment roll has been prepared which omits two parcels from a paving assessment due to an appraise that had been obtained which shows no increase to value to these two parcels. This appraisal was at the request of Council. The remainder of the properties abutting Powell Street are listed on the assessment roll with the standard $4.00 per foot assessment. Mr. Bennett also stated that he had received a letter today from Mrs. Margaret Buck in opposition to the paving assessment, but she had filed the petition to get the street paved. There were no representatives in favor. Ms. Susie McKee, a three-year resident, appeared in opposition due to the senior citizen population on that street, and other streets in that area were paved without charging. Mrs. Margaret Bucy, a senior citizen area resident, also appeared in opposition due to living on a fixed income. She stated she signed the petition but didn't realize there would be a charge for paving. She also stated that other streets in that area had been paved without charges.

Mr. Bennett presented this item. He stated that the Walter Reed Road was paved pursuant to petition from the property owners and all property owners heave been notified of this public hearing.

Consideration of Pinecrest Place in an R15 Residential District for preliminary and final zero lot line subdivision review for an area located on the south side of Parkview Avenue, on both sides of Pinecrest Drive. Mayor Hurley explained that the reason this matter drew so much attention because if the construction is done as it is so designed, then it would perhaps do away with the proposed Thoroughfare Plan that has been on the books since 1962. This Thoroughfare Plan simply means that if and when the need is there and if the City has the funds, then they would construct the completion of Pinecrest Drive through to Raeford Road after a Public Hearing. This matter was presented by Al Mitchell. He stated that the Planning Board has recommended approval of the plan, as submitted by the developer, with conditions as contained in the packet of materials. Mr. Smith stated that if the Council were to adopt the Planning Board's recommendation, they would have be removing the Pinecrest Drive extension from the City Thoroughfare Plan. He further stated that one of the reasons we have a Thoroughfare Plan is so that as subdivisions are developed these streets are added in accordance with that plan. Councilmember Wofford offered motion to submit the proposal back to the Planning Board and Transportation Advisory Committee to look the situation over again, have a Public Hearing and bring it back to Council. Councilmember Evans seconded the motion. Councilmember McBryde offered a substitute motion to proceed with the matter tonight, seconded by Councilmember Jones and carried with Mayor Hurley and Councilmembers Evans and Wofford voting no. Councilmember Dawkins offered a motion to approve as recommended by the Planning Board, seconded by Councilmember McBryde and carried with Councilmember Evans voting no. 4. Consideration of Police weapon exchange. This item was presented by Mr. Smith in Mr. McGugan's absence. Councilmember Wofford offered motion to award the contract to the National Police Supply as recommended by the Administration, seconded by Councilmember Evans and carried unanimously. Councilmember Dawkins asked to recognize his wife, Mary Ann, and daughter, Dawn, present in the audience tonight. At this time, Mayor Hurley asked permission of Council to recognize David Gilchrest to speak on a problem he has concerning the Sanitation Department. Mr. Gilchrest stated that he had recently moved to a new location in the City and had called for the Sanitation Department to pick up leaves at the edge of the yard that had been raked up. He stated that the Sanitation crew removed a television set from his yard instead of taking any of the leaves and that the TV was still in working order. He further stated that he felt the Sanitation department should not have picked up the TV. Council asked the staff to respond to Mr. Gilchrest's statement. The City Attorney stated that the Sanitation crews statements were different from Mr. Gilchrest's, and he does not feel the crew was negligent in anyway. They did not have the truck that picks up leaves, and it is routine to pick up any other items that appear to be trash so that another trip would not have to be made for those items. Mr. Cogswell further stated that if this matter were to go to court, that would be the position he would take and he does not feel we should pay at this time. 5. Consideration of bid received for purchase of one Water/Foam Aircraft Fire and Rescue Vehicle. The City Manager stated that these are also subject to FAA approval. It is staff's recommendation, and in concurrence with FAA, that the low bid not be considered a responsible bid in that it did not meet specifications. It is recommended that it be awarded to the next low bid. FAA is paying 90 percent of the purchase. Councilmember Dawkins asked the City Attorney to verify that this is in order and should present no problem. Mr. Cogswell responded that the only problem they had was with the warranty and our consultant indicated that they see no problems with it. Councilmember Evans offered motion, seconded by Councilmember Felton and carried unanimously to award the contract to Emergency One, Inc,, as recommended. 6. Presentation of City of Fayetteville Financial Statement. The City Manager presented this matter. He distributed copies of budget and actual figures on General Operating Fund, Transit Operating Fund, and Airport Operating Fund. Also an analysis of fund balances as of the June 30, 1985, General Fund and Insurance Fund. Charlie Johnson from the audit company was present to answer any questions Council made. There was some discussion regarding the report being late again from Finance. The auditor stated that the report is done in-house and if their firm could do the report as in the past, he feels that it might be in to the Council sooner. Mr. Smith stated that most of the delays were due to so many manual entries having to be made. Hopefully, with the new computerization, all reports will be completed sooner. Mr. Smith will also check into the cost between in-house and the audit firm doing the work, to see which would be more feasible. This matter was tabled until the report can he finalized. 7.

Mr. Wofford asked a question on the Greensboro plan pay back. Will they find it necessary to raise taxes, he asked. Mrs. Cheek replied it is likely that they must. Mr. Wofford asked if the rate of tax increase is shown on the issue. The City Manager stated this does not stipulate a figure. Mr. Wofford stated we are looking at general obligation bonds and that we should decide which projects ate to be included in a referendum. There was then a general discussion of the topic. Mayor Hurley stated that Council needs to move on with the program and that we definitely need public involvement. Mr. McBryde suggested the appointment of a committee, such as the one used by Greensboro to look at the issue. Mr. Dawkins stated that he agrees with the Mayor and that we need to assemble a diverse package for presentation to the public. The City Manager suggested that we need to bring a whole package together at the same time rather than on separate issues. There was then further general discussion of the topic. Mayor Hurley stated that we need various persons of various backgrounds on such committee, Mrs Dawkins suggested that City Administration come back to Council with a recommendation and the City Manager stated that he would do so. 4.

Consideration of use of Olde Fayetteville Commons as a traffic detour during construction work on Franklin Street. The City Manager presented this item and stated that he had met Wednesday afternoon with a committee of the Revitalization Commission and several downtown merchants. They requested that the City consider allowing vehicular traffic on the Transit Mall while construction was underway on Franklin Street. We have previously asked UMTA about opening the Mall to traffic and were told that this would make the Mall ineligible for UMTA funding and the grant would be withdrawn. We must keep in mind that 90 percent of the project was funded by State and Federal Mass Transit funds based upon improving transit operations. We must be extremely careful not to do anything that would cause UMTA to feel that the City acted in bad faith in applying for and accepting the grant. Without the grant, the City had asked $250,000 for Hay Street improvements and could have left the buses on Market Square. I am concerned, however, about the ability of existing streets being able to handle the traffic detoured from Franklin Street, I do not believe UMTA would object to a temporary detour. If such a detour created more traffic problems than it solved, it would have to be discontinued. It should be stressed that any use of the Mall by vehicular traffic can only be justified as a temporary measure to solve a temporary traffic problem. It is anticipated that Franklin Street will be closed in the vicinity of Ray Avenue for three to four weeks, beginning next week or the following week. The City Manager stated he had also contacted UMTA regarding use of the Mall for vehicular traffic. He stated the grant agreement is for a transit facility only and not for vehicular traffic. They will not consider an amendment to the contract. Mr. Wofford stated we should not open the Mall until permission is granted in writing by UMTA. Mrs. Evans suggested asking if we could use the Mall temporarily. The City Engineer displayed slides of the Franklin Street-Russell Street construction area and of the present detours being used and gave details and timetables. There was then discussion of the matter. The City Engineer stated that a real traffic hazard exists, especially with cross traffic. There was then further discussion of the matter. Mr. Jones commented the previous routes which have been taken to reach a downtown business. He stated he was in favor of open the Mall temporarily. Following some brief discussion, Mr. Dawkins offered motion to open the Transit Mall temporarily until approval of UMTA and NCDOT is received in writing, seconded by Mr. Jones. There was then further discussion of the matter and comments by the City Manager. The City Manager stated that the Mall could be closed if problems occur. Council agreed to this. There was then some further discussion. Following this, Mayor Hurley called for a vote on the motion, and it carried. Mr. McBryde abstaining to vote. 9. Consideration of purchase of property for the Airport. Approval of the purchase was recommended. Council recognized Airport Manager Tom Ray, who presented this matter, and recommended approval to purchase the property from Mrs. Carolyn Thompkins for the amount stated in her letter enclosed in the agenda packet. Following brief discussion, Councilmember Evans offered motion for approval of the purchase as recommended, seconded by Mr. Jones, and carried unanimously. Mayor Hurley recognized Mrs. Thompkins in the audience. 10. Appointments: A. Election of Robert Hinton to the Taxicab Review Board. Mr. Hinton was then elected by unanimous vote of the Council to the Taxicab Review Board to replace Mr. Bill Baxley, deceased, and to serve the remainder of his term to July, 1987. B. Nominations to fill seven vacancies on the Human Services Commission. Mrs. Evans nominated Glorious Fowler. Mr. Jones nominated Mrs. Sylvia Allen, Mr. Wofford nominated the remaining five: Bettie Jo Goodenough, Gertie Brewington, Richard G. Griffin, Elesa W. Brown, Reverend John L. Godbold. Mayor Hurley stated that these would be reconsidered at the next meeting of the Council. 11. Delegations or individuals wishing to address Council: There were none. 12. Administrative Reports: A. Presentation of alternative redesigns for Council Chamber. Assistant City Manager Roger Stancil presented this matter and displayed drawings of the present and proposed design of the Council Chamber due to the increase in Councilmembers following the spring election. The horseshoe design displayed by Mr. Stancil was favored by the Council. There was then a brief discussion by the City Council concerning this. Following this, the City Manager stated that he will get costs and come back to Council with them. The City Manager stated that at the last meeting of the Council, there was a presentation of the Financial Report. He stated he had received a letter from the auditor today. He quoted from this letter. He stated that the Local Government Commission recommended approval. Following brief discussion, Mr. McBryde offered motion to approve and accept the audit report as submitted for Fiscal Year 1984-1985, seconded by Mrs. Felton and carried unanimously. Mayor Hurley informed Council that a letter had been received today from the Justice Department, and they have provided Council with information regarding the election plan and redistricting. He requested the City Attorney to present the details. The City Attorney stated that he had talked with the Justice Department at 5:15 this afternoon. He stated the election plan and the annexations are approved. He stated the Justice Department will consider approval of any change in the election dates. He provided details from his handout to the City Council. He stated the Board of Elections will hold a meeting immediately concerning this matter. Mr. Dawkins stated he wanted to see information in writing from the Justice Department. There was then a lengthy discussion of the primary and election dates for the municipal election. Following this lengthy discussion, Mr. McBryde offered motion that the City Attorney try to set up for a filing date on March 14 with a May primary and a June election, seconded by Mrs. Evans, and carried. Mr. Wofford voting no. 13. Matters of Interest to the Council: Mr. Jones stated that he desired that Council discuss a personnel matter in the executive session, and this was agreeable.

Mr. Jones then moved that Council enter into executive session at 8:30 p.m. for personnel, property and litigation matters, seconded by Mrs. Felton and carried unanimously. Mayor Hurley adjourned the executive session at 9:00 p.m., reconvened Council into regular session, and adjourned the meeting upon motion made and duly seconded.

Therefore, we ask your presence here at this City Council meeting. Grant its members clarity of thought, sensitivity to all concerned and the ability to see issues from all aspects.

Consideration of requests from Vyquest, Inc., in connection with development of property in the Cape Fear Valley Hospital (Oliver Street) area: (a) Bonding for street and drainage work. (b) Financing of drainage. Mr. Smith presented this matter and stated that the City ordinance requires a bond to be posted by a developer when property is subdivided, thereby insuring that street improvements, drainage, etc. are completed before the property is sold. It has been the City's practice to require a North Carolina insurance agency to provide this type of bond. Mr. Smith stated that it is his recommendation to require an in-state insurance bond. Mr. Smith further stated chat with regard to the drainage financing portion of the item, the developer did not want to pay the entire cost of taking the additional water from the area and has requested that the City fund the additional cost. Mr. Smith made the recommendation that in this case and all future cases like this, that a small drainage district be established and property owners that will benefit from such drainage be assessed additional costs with the developer paying the costs involving his property. It is staff's recommendation that Council authorize them to set up the necessary public hearings. Mr. Stacy Weaver, representing Vyquest, Inc., addressed the Council and asked that they have the requirement of a corporate surety from the bond be eliminated, due to worth of the financial statements, and let them put up their own bond. Mr. Weaver also addressed briefly the drainage plan for the property. (b) Following lengthy discussion and decision to act on financing of drainage (b) first, Councilman Wofford offered motion to have Vyquest, Inc. either obtain a North Carolina bond or deposit a like amount of money with the City, seconded by Mr. McBryde and carried unanimously.

Mr. Smith presented the statement of taxes collected for month of February, 1986 from Cumberland County Tax Collector. B. Mr. Smith reported on a situation between the City and Cablevision. They have reached a satisfactory agreement in principle which consists of several items contained in his memo to Council, in exchange for a ten-year franchise extension beyond 1991. Mr. Smith further stated that other things had also been discussed that he feels will be worked out. He recommended that Council take some time to review his memo, allow the City Manager and City Attorney to work with ATC and draft franchise amendments and to ask Mr. Greg Bicket, with ATC, to attend the information meeting on Monday night, March 24. Councilmember Wofford offered motion, seconded by Councilmember Dawkins to authorize staff to proceed with negotiations with ATC concerning the Cablevision franchise. Mayor Hurley recognized the candidates for City Council present in the audience. They are Mrs. Goodenough, Mr. Torry, Mrs. Ross, and Mrs. Fowler. Mr. Stancil presented a report on the proposed Council Chamber renovation to make room for the additional Councilmembers to be elected. He stated that Mr. Frank Dallas, Engineering Department, had three possibilities. Council discussed these proposals and gave their approval on the arrangement with the screen in the middle of the crescent-shaped Council seating arrangement. Mr. Cogswell stated that at the time Council authorized Attorney Ronnie Mitchell to represent Officers McGuinness and Scearce in the Rodriguez case, the hourly rate was not stated in the minutes. He requested Council approve the contract submitted by Mr. Mitchell at $75.00 per hour. Councilmember McBryde offered motion, seconded by Councilmember Wofford to approve the contract as requested, at $75.00 per hour. Carried unanimously. Mr. Cogswell stated that he reviewed all the cases and discovered that the minutes do not reflect the rate for Bobby Deaver to represent Danny Dixon in the Cecelia Gray case, but the tape of the meeting did reflect that it was approved at the usual contract rate. Mr. Cogswell asked that Council authorize a similar contract (as the one with Mr. Mitchell above) at $75.00 per hour, with the usual agreement for outside expenses and ratify the previous payments of $1,762.77 to Mr. Deaver. Councilmember Wofford offered motion, seconded by Councilmember Jones to follow the recommendation, carried unanimously. Mr. Cogswell stated that also in the Rodriquez case, the minutes do not reflect George Miller's rate for representing Danny Dixon at the rate of $75.00 per hour. Mr. Miller has not submitted an invoice to date. Councilmember Wofford offered motion, seconded by Councilmember Dawkins to approve the contract (same as the one with Mr. Mitchell) as recommended at $75.00 per hour. At this time, Mayor Hurley stated that the Dog Ordinance Committee had met several times and staff has submitted an ordinance. This will be an item on the April 5 agenda. Mayor Hurley presented to Council, Greensboro's proposal for staffing a Citizen Task Force. Following discussion, Councilmember Evans offered motion that the appointments be made by the Mayor with recommendations by Councilmembers and staff for a balanced group, not to exceed 25 members. Motion was seconded by Councilmember Jones and carried unanimously. The Mayor stated that these should be appointed within the next two weeks. 15. Matters of Interest to Council Councilmember Jones stated he had passed through a town in South Carolina that had beautified their streets, they had traffic on the streets and only one business appeared to be vacant. He stated that he had been informed that Fayetteville was losing another vital business downtown. He further stated that he wished we could meet with the Federal Government to see what can be done to encourage the businesses to stay downtown and get more. Councilmember McBryde stated that he had been approached concerning the possibility of an indoor shooting gallery. He had checked with the City Attorney who informed him that there was no state law prohibiting this. Mr. McBryde made a request that this be checked into further due to the numerous handguns being sold and people need training to use them. Mr. McBryde requested staff to bring an ordinance before Council for discussion. Councilmember Dawkins asked staff if we had a response from UMTA on our recent request. Mr. Smith responded that we have not had an answer. Mayor Hurley reminded everyone of tomorrow night's annual dinner by the Chamber of Commerce.

RESOLUTION NO. R1986-4 9. At this time, Councilmember Dawkins was recognized and reminded the audience that the taxpayers pay approximately 91 percent of the assessment and the property owner pays only approximately 4½ percent on each side and that is why we very seldom have opposition at these public hearings. Consideration of Community Development Block Grant funding for Fiscal Year 1986-1987. Mr. Richard Herrera presented this matter. He stated that while the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) had allowed us to use a planning figure of $897,600 for public hearing purposes, we were advised by letter on March 5, 1986, that the actual funding amount would only be $753,000. The $753,000 grant amount is $303,000 less than we received for Fiscal Year 1985-1986. In light of that funding reduction, his funding recommendations are as follows: 1. Housing Rehabilitation - Target area 2.1 at $301,200 (Alfalfa and King Streets) 2. Conservation Plan - Vanstory Street area at $301,200 (Rehabilitation and Redevelopment) 3. Administration - $150,600 4. Fayetteville Day Nursery - $30,346 (from prior year administration) Mr. Herrera presented maps of the proposed target areas.

Consideration of an ordinance amending Chapter 7, “Animals and Fowl” of the Code of Ordinances for the City of Fayetteville creating a new Section 7-26, “Dogs, Sanitary Conditions; Enforcement.” Mayor Hurley reviewed briefly the problems discussed in the past with the animal situation. A five-person study committee was established and their recommendations were drawn up into a proposed ordinance. A committee member, Mrs. Irene Anderson, appeared stating she felt the City would have to be the one to enforce this ordinance. In opposition to the ordinance was Mr. Ed Elliott of Roxie Avenue. He stated he did not understand the ordinance and felt he kept his area clean enough and it did not smell. He requested the ordinance be clarified. The City Attorney responded by reading the ordinance as requested by the Mayor. Mr. Harold McNeill, 1867 Gola Drive, also appeared in opposition. Mrs. Bettie Joe Goodenough appeared and requested that the leash law be enforced to keep the dogs home or picked up by authorities. Councilmember Evans offered motion to adopt the ordinance. Councilmember McBryde seconded upon the condition that it would be decided who would enforce the ordinance. Mayor Hurley asked for Mr. Smith to give his recommendation concerning the enforcement. Mr. Smith recommended to either have an agreement with the County that either the Health Department or the County Animal Control enforce this ordinance or, if the City is to enforce it, we consider reinstitution of the dog tax and hire the necessary personnel from that source of revenue rather than giving the duty to an existing department that is supported out of the general tax rate. Mr. Smith further stated he feels we should not pass an ordinance that we cannot enforce due to the priorities of the Police Department. Councilmember Evans expressed her concern for the Police Department being so strained for personnel that there is not enough personnel to enforce an ordinance that needs to be made. There was then some discussion by Council about the enforcing agency needing to be a sworn officer but Mr. Cogswell responded that this would be a civil matter rather than a criminal matter and citation could be issued, payable within 48 hours. Mrs. Evans amended her motion by moving to approve the recommendation of the Committee and adopt the ordinance for dogs and cats, except the provision as to the enforcement agency. Councilmember Dawkins offered a substitute motion to table the action until City administration comes back with all the information they can and contact the appropriate agencies to enforce this ordinance, seconded by Councilmember Wofford and carried with Councilmember Jones, Evans, and Felton voting no. 3. Planning Board Matters: A. Consideration of the second reading for rezoning from R10 Residential District to R6 Residential District for an area located at 116 Country Club Drive. Mr. Mitchell stated that this was up for approval of the second reading on R6 rezoning. Mr. David Godwin appeared before Council requesting that R5A rezoning be considered. Cathy Butler appeared and asked Council if trailers would be able to be put in this area under this zoning. Mr. Mitchell responded by saying that unless they had three acres of land they could not put trailers in this area and there was only 1½ acres there. Councilmember Evans offered motion to approve the R6 rezoning on the second reading, seconded by Councilmember Jones and carried with Mayor Hurley and Councilmembers McBryde and Wofford voting no. After Mrs. Evan's motion and Mr. Jones' second, the second reading failed with a 2 to 5 vote. Mayor Hurley and Councilmembers McBryde, Wofford, Dawkins, and Felton voting no.

The minimum grant from the Endowment is $150,000 to be matched 2 to 1 by new funds from local governments. The grant monies, a total of $450,000, would come in over three years starting in 1987 and would be used to support and promote the arts in the Fayetteville area. The Arts Council is requesting $100,000 from the City and $200,000 from the County over four fiscal years.

This item was presented by Roger Stancil following annual review of the service areas, the following recommendations were made. 1. The Fire Contracts involving the Hilton Drive area and the three smaller areas off Raleigh Road would be determined and the City would assume full responsibility for fire service in these areas which are within the service radius of City Fire Station No. 3 located on Rosehill Road. Westarea would waive all requirements for contracting with volunteer fire departments under the annexation studies. 2. The contract for College Lakes would remain as is - Westarea continuing to provide full responder service until June 30, 1989, unless changes are mutually agreed upon. 3. The city would enter two new contracts with Westarea Volunteer Fire Department for the provision of fire service in areas known Ascot I and McArthur Place. These contracts would also terminate June 30, 1989. The Board of Directors of Westarea Volunteer Fire Department concur with these recommendations and the two Fire Chiefs have been working on the details of the transition so that the changes would be effective immediately.

He presented pictures of the area and stated that he has been trying for 2½ years to get this situation straightened out. Mr. Willis said he thought that inserting a pipeline would help to alleviate the problem of the erosion from the water going across the vacant lot adjoining his property. Mr. Smith responded by recommending that Mr. Willis petition for piping and staff will contact the owner of the other lot to also petition. If the other party does not petition, staff will come to Council with a recommendation for piping to be ordered and both sides assessed under the normal assessment policy, which is each property owner paying 25 percent and the City paying 50 percent.

Mr. Ben Watson, 1430 Skycrest Drive in Glendale Acres, appeared before Council with his concerns over the Marlborough Road traffic hazard for the children and elderly in the area.

Council requested that Mr. Watson circulate a petition to be signed by the neighbors for the stop sign. Police Chief Hansen was recognized and Councilman McBryde made reference to the donation for bulletproof vests by the Board of Realtors. Mr. McBryde inquired as to how many vests this would purchase. The Chief responded that the donation would purchase approximately four or five of the type vest they need. Councilmember Jones asked Chief Hansen how many police officers he was short in his quota.

The general provisions of the lease are a 20-year term lease, and the City agrees to pay $30,000 to the bank for the lease and construct and operate a public parking lot on the site at the cost of approximately $120,000 and in the event the property is sold, the City would receive 1/20 of its lease payment and 1/20 of its investment of the improvements for each year remaining on the lease. Councilmember Evans offered motion to approve the lease with the monies coming from the pedestrian linkage project, seconded by Councilmember Jones and carried unanimously. 5. Consideration of the awarding of a contract for restoration of Barges Tavern and approval of Amendment of the Lease with Cumberland County for Barges Tavern. Mr. Smith stated that the lease which the Convention and Visitors' Bureau now has with the City provides that their lease payments would be made monthly for a three-year lease. The Bureau has agreed to pay the full price of the three-year lease as a lump sum at the start of their occupancy in September in return for an extra year of occupancy at no cost. Mr. Smith stated these funds would be credited to the project budget and will result in a sufficient amount to fund the entire restoration program. Following discussion, Councilmember Jones offered motion, seconded by Councilmember Felton to award the contract to the low bidder of Bullard Construction Company in the amount of $130,266 subject to obtaining a signed lease for the up-front payment, carried unanimously. 6. Consideration of landscape plan for the 500 Block of Hay Street. Mr. Ed Upchurch, with HCA, was recognized and presented landscaping plan for the 500 Block using displays of drawings and photographs. Mr. Smith stated that part of the sales agreement between HCA and the City referred to the right-of-way along Robinson, Franklin, and Winslow Streets. The agreement gave the City the right to repurchase additional right-of-way along these streets within five years of the sale of the property to HCA at the original purchase price. HCA agrees to pay for landscaping improvements in the right-of-way. They are asking that the City replace the sidewalks leaving space for trees and install the irrigation system. HCA will agree to provide the water. Mr. Smith recommended that we use the sidewalk funds to install the sidewalks and irrigation system and that some of the local funds remaining in the Transit Mall project be reserved for the right-of-way purchase. Councilmember Evans offered motion, seconded by Councilmember McBryde to approve the HCA plan for landscaping the 500 Block, authorize the taking of informal bids and awarding contracts for the sidewalks and to set aside funds from the Transit Mall leftover local share to repurchase the rights-of-way. Motion carried unanimously. 7. Consideration of Council Chamber renovations. Mr. Stancil presented the plans and recommended the Plan B which showed an isle through the middle of the Council seats and a screen on the back wall.

Mr. Cogswell recommended that we retain and contract with George Miller at $75 per hour with the normal out-of-pocket expenditures to represent Chief Dixon and a similar contract with Mr. Phillip Van Hoy to represent Mr. John Smith and the City. Councilmember Evans offered motion, seconded by Councilmember Felton and carried unanimously to follow the recommendation of the City Attorney to contract with George Miller and Phil Van Hoy.

Mr. Bennett presented this item and stated that the developer and owner, Sol Rose, is requesting City participation in the sidewalks. The proposal is to construct sidewalks on each side of the cul-de-sac street, and since the City policy puts a high priority on construction of sidewalks along one side of thoroughfare streets, Mr. Bennett stated he recommends that this request be approved conditionally: That the developer construct sidewalk. (with the usual City participation) along Morganton Road and that the present budgeted funds for the sidewalk construction has been committed; therefore, City participation in this project is contingent upon funds being approved in the upcoming budget year. Following some discussion, Councilmember Evans offered motion to follow Staff's recommendation, seconded by Councilmember Felton to approve the sidewalks in the Great Oaks Subdivision and on the Morganton Road, carried unanimously with Councilmember Dawkins absent. 7. Consideration of revision of fees and charges for City Parks. Jack Wilson of the Parks and Recreation Department presented this item and stated that the current fee and structure was initially adopted by City Council in April of 1983.

Delegations or individuals wishing to address Council: Bettie Joe Goodenough appeared before Council stating that several restaurant owners in the downtown area were very upset because of the competition that they had received during different functions in the downtown area by the City Parks and Recreation truck selling food in competition with their business. Council will have staff check into this and possibly set up a policy regarding this situation. 11. Appointments. Nominations to fill one vacancy on the Board of Appeals on Dwellings and Buildings. Councilmember Evans nominated John Mitchell. 12. Administrative Reports. A. Statement of taxes collected for the month of April, 1986, from the Cumberland County Tax Collector. Mr. Smith presented the statement of taxes collected for the month of April, 1986, from the Cumberland County Tax Collector. B. Report on Affirmative Action Plan. Mr. Smith stated that the City has been operating under the Volunteer Affirmative Action Plan since 1978. We submit annually a report to the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission. Most significant progress has probably been in the Fire Department as far as minority hiring and promoting. Carol Parker made a presentation. She stated that there were several success stories from 1980 to 1985. One thing that had been done was the implementing of several programs for recruitment and the change of the city charter for hiring and firing of the City Police Department by the City Manager. This changed recruitment to be done by the City Personnel. Also, those programs have resulted in major increases in hiring females and minorities. New positions and promotions have been accomplished in the protective field: increases since 1980 were Police, 19%-28% and the Fire Department, 5%-12% blacks. Since 1983, we have hired 20 females and still have 17 of those in employment. There are several success stories in promotion through the ranks. This resulted by the offering of training and openings being made available. In the Police and Fire Departments, there have been black sergeants promoted to the ranks of Major, Captains and Lieutenants. We have the first two female Police Sergeants. The City Clerk was promoted in ranks. The first female Sanitation Route Inspector. A Secretary rose to Superintendent of Support Services. A black female from mailroom to Police Research Analyst, and a female General Inspector in the Inspections Department promoted to Safety Director. Mention was also made of Suzan Cheek being appointed Assistant City Manager for Economic and Community Development and Gerald McPhail being Administrative Assistant to the City Manager. C. Reports from Engineering Department. Mr. Bennett presented a follow-up of several situations that arose at a previous meeting: 1. The citizen with the drainage problem on Thamesford Drive. Mr. Smith, worked out with him that since he did not want to participate up front with the City policy on drainage, then he could petition for it and has been furnished a petition but has not returned it. 2. Regarding the school crossing, speeders on Murchison Road, Mr. Chalmers had met with the crossing guard (who was not the complainant) and the Police Officer in charge of the school crossings. It was determined that there was no advantage to expanding the school zone. The Police Department will perform spot enforcement of speeders on a regular basis. 3. The resident concerned with the speeding on Marborough Street has received a petition to be circulated for additional stop signs in this area. The City Attorney stated that he had concerns about the indoor shooting range and had contacted Fort Bragg who will send literature for him to review and come back to Council with his findings. Mr. Cogswell also reminded Council that they needed to cancel their regular information meeting that had been scheduled for April 28. Councilmember Dawkins offered motion, seconded by Councilmember Wofford and carried unanimously to cancel the information meeting of April 28, 1986. 13. Matters of Interest to Council. Councilmember McBryde stated he had received a call from a City employee who could not seem to get her statements from the military credit union and asked staff to check into this. However, it was established that the military credit union was a different credit union from the Bragg Mutual Credit Union that the employees participated in. Councilmember Dawkins stated that the first block of Village Drive, crossing Owen Drive, beside the Bordeaux Shopping Center looked to be in need of repair. Mr. Bennett responded that the State is going to do the work within the next two or three months. Councilmember Evans stated that a citizen had contacted her that wanted to build a wall or fence on the back of his lot higher than allowable by the City's policy. She requests that the Policy Committee look into the present ordinances concerning the fences to see what can be done to help those who need a higher fence. There will be a Policy Committee meeting at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, April 28, 1986. Councilmember Wofford stated that in reading the letter from UMTA, it stated that there was no participation in the non-participatory planning grants for commercial type projects. Councilman Wofford stated that he would like to have staff check into a trolley being run from the Olde Fayetteville Commons to the new Marketplace Mall. It was his understanding that UMTA would pay 100% on this type planning grant. Council was in agreement. Mayor Hurley reminded Council that the City would be hosting approximately 100 representatives at the League of Municipalities meeting to be held on Tuesday, April 22, 10:00 at the Holiday Inn. The Mayor also recognized one of the uncontested City Councilmembers in the upcoming election, Mr. Thelbert Torrey. The Mayor also thanked the Police Officer for being present at the meeting. Councilmember Wofford offered motion, seconded by Councilmember Dawkins, carried unanimously, to go into executive session for litigation and personnel matters at 8:45 p.m. Council reconvened into regular session at 9:00 p.m. and there being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. SPECIAL MEETING FRIDAY, MAY 2, 1986 SPECIAL MEETING KYLE HOUSE CONFERENCE ROOM FRIDAY, MAY 2, 1986 12:00 NOON Present: Mayor Bill Hurley Councilmembers Milo Wofford, Mildred Evans, J L. Dawkins, and Emaretta Felton John P. Smith, City Manager Roger L. Stancil, Assistant City Manager Robert C. Cogswell, Jr., City Attorney Mayor Hurley called the meeting to order at 12:20 p.m. and offered the invocation. Mayor Hurley recognized Mr. Russell Schwarz, father of John Schwarz from St. Charles, Missouri. He then introduced Mr. John Schwarz, who was here to answer questions from Council regarding his plans for the Prince Charles Hotel renovation. Mr. Schwarz introduced Mr. Phillip VanderMyde of Duberry and Davis Architects, Fairfax, Virginia, who presented the conceptual master plan for the Prince Charles Hotel. Mr. VanderMyde displayed a drawing of their long-range plans showing the existing Prince Charles with hotel expansion. He stated that they plan for an entertainment lounge, a retail area, office space with approximately 50,000 square feet, the Historic Railroad Station to be used as a restaurant, and approximately 100 units of apartments in the hotel. Mr. Schwarz stated that should the hotel fail as a hotel, then he has plans for converting the hotel into low-to-moderate income housing and wants the City to take over the rental for $1.2 million per year until a 25 year bond is retired if the project fails commercially. The estimate to convert from the hotel to the low-to-moderate income housing was approximately one-quarter of a million dollars. Mr. Schwarz would have this amount in escrow for that purpose. The City's liability would dissolve if the hotel generates net income of 150 percent of its operating expenses for four of seven consecutive years after the first three years of operation. Webb and Company of Lexington, Kentucky would be the developer of the hotel. Council had many questions for Mr. Schwarz. Following lengthy discussion and questions, action was delayed until Wednesday night.

There was no one in opposition present at the meeting. Councilmember Wofford offered motion, seconded by Councilmember Dawkins to adopt the Resolution closing Starling Street, carried unanimously. RESOLUTION AND ORDER CLOSING STARLING STREET. RESOLUTION NO. R1986-59. 3. Consideration of development agreements for the proposed Prince Charles Hotel Project. Mr. John Schwarz was recognized and he introduced Mr. Gary Smith, a local public relations professional. Mr. Smith stated he was addressing Council as a citizen and property owner and he feels that we abandoned the downtown core over 12 years ago; therefore, a luxury hotel downtown will require a special relationship if it is to be successful. Mr. Smith feels that in order for Mr. Schwarz to make such a commitment as will be necessary, we should also make some commitment. He stated he knows of no business project that does not require a commitment. There is risk already involved in many ways. Others than appeared before Council in favor of this offer were: Bernie Rivenbark, CPA - citizen and property owner; Karen Rand, Chairman of the Public Affairs of Junior League; Horace Thompson, citizen and banker; Bert Ishie, retired educator; Mike Girone, Administrator of Highsmith-Rainey Hospital; Stacey Weaver, representing Olde Fayetteville Association; Joe Pillow, City Council candidate; John Rose; Fritz Helie, Chairman of Fayetteville Progress; Bruce Ratjhe, Hotel Management Firm from Raleigh; Mr. Lewis Lepper, businessman; and Don Wooster, General Manager of Green Tree Inn. Mr. David Lloyd, Offshore Drive resident, appeared in opposition to the proposal. He stated he is not opposed to revitalization but is concerned that this is the last 11 acres left to plan for the downtown area and that Council should consider other alternatives, such as an auditorium. Also appearing in opposition was Mr. J. P. Riddle, businessman, and Mr. Jim Cherry, citizen. Mayor Hurley offered comments and gave the Holiday Inn along with other motels, as a good example of community support. He stated that the core of Fayetteville was going to rot unless people have courage to make things happen. This project shows us that if there is a liability in the future, then there is income from the low-to-moderate housing to pay for the obligation. Mayor Hurley further stated that the only thing we need now in downtown Fayetteville is to complete our mission and then sit back and make sure it continues to move the economic vitality. He said it would not happen unless the City has faith in its future. Mr. Cogswell and Mr. Smith both stated that the process is possible but there are some more changes that need to be made in the documents before they can recommend them. Councilmember Wofford stated he is not in favor nor is he opposed to this proposal, but he feels we should not close the door. Councilmember Wofford offered motion to give staff one week with input from whomever they see necessary to bring into this and hammer the agreement out so that staff can return next Monday night with a proposal they think is reasonable, then Council can decide if we want to take the risk on the money side, seconded by Councilmember Felton. There was then further discussion. Mrs. Evans stated that unless the liability is considerably reduced, she cannot vote for this project. Councilmembers Dawkins and McBryde both agreed they felt there were too many questions that needed to be answered. Mr. Cogswell asked to clarify his earlier statement regarding the changes in the contract and said that Mr. Schwarz was unaware that the changes that Mr. Cogswell had asked for previously were not in the documents he sent, and there would be more changes so Mr. Cogswell advised Mr. Schwarz's attorneys to wait until they receive the other changes. Following some further debate, Mr. McBryde called for the question and there was a vote of 7 to 1 to cease debate and vote on the motion, with Mayor Hurley voting no. Mayor Hurley repeated the motion by Councilmember Wofford, seconded by Councilmember Felton that the additional information be continued for one week. The motion was defeated 4 to 3 with Councilmembers Jones, McBryde, Dawkins, and Evans voting against the motion and Councilmembers Felton and Wofford and Mayor Hurley voting for the motion. Councilmember Dawkins stated he felt action should be taken on this proposal tonight and by voting against this particular proposal it would not affect any other proposal Mr. Schwarz might want to bring before Council in the future. Councilmember Wofford then stated that he felt that it would be a mistake of impatience more than anything else and he plans to vote against this motion, not because he is particularly in favor of this proposal but because we have not given the proposal enough time to develop itself in the proper manner and if the motion passes (to deny this proposal), then we will have taken one more step backwards in our downtown revitalization. Councilmember Dawkins offered motion that the City does not accept this particular proposal, seconded by Councilmember McBryde, carried 4 to 3 with Councilmembers Jones, McBryde, Dawkins, and Evans voting for and Councilmembers Wofford and Felton and Mayor Hurley voting against. 4. Consideration of the following Resolutions of Condemnation: A. Authorization for PWC to condemn sewer line rights-of-way across the property of James Lloyd Elkins and wife, Ruby D. Elkins. B. Authorization for condemnation of Parcel 5-6 and N-8 for Twin Acres Drive right-of-way. Councilmember McBryde offered motion to adopt the resolutions for Items A and B, seconded by Councilmember Wofford and carried unanimously. RESOLUTiON AUTHORIZING CONDEMNATION TO ACQUIRE CERTAIN PROPERTY OF JAMES LLOYD ELKINS AND WIFE, RUBY D. ELKINS. RESOLUTION NO. R1986-60. RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING CONDEMNATION TO ACQUIRE CERTAIN PROPERTY (TWIN ACRES DRIVE). RESOLUTION NO. R1986-61. 5. Consideration of “Resolution Identifying Areas Under Consideration” for annexation. Mr. Smith stated that the Resolution of Consideration simply identifies the areas to be considered for future annexation and that State law regulating annexation requires that this be done at least one year prior to initiating annexation. The Statutes provide that this resolution remain effective for two years. This time period lapse is May 21, 1986. Councilmember Wofford offered motion to adopt the resolution, seconded by Councilmember Evans and carried 6 to 1 with Councilmember Jones voting no. RESOLUTION IDENTIFYING THE AREA DESCRIBED HEREIN AS BEING UNDER CONSIDERATION FOR ANNEXATION. RESOLUTION NO. R1986-62. A copy of the above resolution and a map showing the existing City-limit line is on file in the City Clerk's office in accordance with G.S. 160A-22. 6. Consideration of a request for prohibiting parking on a section of Cumberland Street. Mr. Bennett stated that this request had come from Burkhead-DeVane Printing Company because of large freight trucks and automobiles blocking their driveway preventing their trucks from leaving or entering. Councilmember Evans offered motion, seconded by Councilmember Felton to adopt the ordinance amending Section 20-106, Traffic Schedule Number II - Parking prohibited at All Times, carried unanimously. ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 20, MOTOR VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC OF THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE CODE OF ORDINANCES. ORDINANCE NO. NS1986-5. 7. Consideration of a change in stop intersection at Orchard Drive and Drayton Road.

Approval of bid award to Carlisle Contractors, Inc., low bidder, for construction of the College Lakes Sewer Outfall. (PWC) 2. Planning Board Matters: A. Consideration of Breezewood Offices and Condominiums in a P-2 Professional Mr. Al Mitchell stated that the Planning Board has recommended a change from the staff recommendation and that is really the main point of contention for this part of the discussion. The Planning Board wishes to amend Number 14 of the Conditions to end after the word “driveway” and remove the remaining phrase, “and the remaining easement be graded to standard City sidewalk grades.” The developer would like to omit the grading on the south side of Breezewood Avenue. This is being appealed through the City Engineer's right to appeal the decision of the Planning Board. The staff still feels that the grading of the sidewalk to City standards should be done on the property (a copy of the memo of May 19, from the Cumberland County Joint Planning Board is attached to the original minutes). Mr. Wade Byrd, representing the petitioner, appeared before Council and explained the reason for this change in Condition Number 14 was because they wanted to move the parking into the rear to preserve the wooded area along the front. Mr. Bennett stated that the Engineering Department does not believe in destroying trees any more than necessary either, but feels that this is a direct conflict of Council's policy and would be no different than going into a new subdivision in a wooded area and not grading for sidewalks. Councilmember Jones offered motion to follow the sidewalk policy with modifications to be worked out between the City Engineer and developer, seconded by Councilmember Evans and carried unanimously 5-0. B. Consideration of proposed revisions to the City of Fayetteville zoning map for an area located south of Bragg Boulevard, east of Ames Street (known as Adams Court Redevelopment Area) and being the property of the City of Fayetteville. Mr. Mitchell presented this item and stated that some months ago Council passed a resolution requesting the Planning Board to come up with a recommendation for the zoning on this property because the existing zoning line cuts across the property. Mr. Bennett stated that this action would straighten the zoning line and fix it along a natural barrier between the residential zoning and the commercial zoning and then the surplus property could be sold to the interested parties, whose property butts up against it. Councilmember Wofford offered motion to follow the recommendation of the City Engineer with a proposed revision to the line as recommended as relates to the drainage, seconded by Councilmember Evans and carried 4-1 with Councilmember Jones voting no. C. Consideration of the 4th Draft of the Dish Antenna Amendments. Mr. Mitchell stated that he wanted to make special mention of two changes that are in this draft. On Item 3, Section 32-49, General Yard Regulations, (5) reads “dish antenna shall not be located in the front yard of any structure in a residential zoning district (this shall include any yard space from the principle structure to the street right-of-way line, no matter how far back the structure is located from this street).” Also the last two sentences in this section reads, “Variances to these provisions shall be granted by the Board of Adjustments when applicant can demonstrate that there is no possibility to locate a dish antenna on the lot within these regulations and receive a signal on a line of sight from the satellite. The owner of a dish antenna shall not be required to obtain a building permit except in the event a variance is granted.” The City Attorney wanted Council to be aware that one particular phrase in this section on variances came directly from the industry and that is “and receive a signal on-line of sight from the satellite.” Councilmember Wofford offered motion, seconded by Councilmember Felton and carried unanimously 5-0 to refer the fourth draft to the Planning Board for public hearing procedure. 3. Consideration of lease of City property located at the end of Cheselka Street to Cape Fear Teen Center, Inc. Mr. Smith stated that this property is the undeveloped City park site in Glendale Acres. The proposal is for the Teen Center to lease the land from the City and construct and operate a Teen Center on the property. Mr. Robert G. Ray, Chairman of the non-profit Cape Fear Teen Center Board stated that the lease would allow the group to prepare plans for the building before it begins a community fund raising effort in the Fall. He introduced Ms. Theresa Clark, a member of the Teen Center Board who stated that the building would probably house a dance floor, snack bar, lounge, movie theatre, aide screen television and would be patrolled by Uniform Police Officers. There were approximately 50 supporters present in the Council Chamber. Mr. Cogswell stated that on page 10 paragraph 15 of the lease a provision should be added that “for less than 24 hours use the Director of Parks and Recreation would approve this” and on page 6 paragraph 8 after the 90 days add “except during periods of construction.” Councilmember Evans offered motion to authorize advertisement, seconded by Councilmember Jones and carried unanimously 5 to 0. 4. Consideration of City - North Carolina Department of Transportation agreement for construction of the Fayetteville Area Computerized Signal System. Mr. Tom Scandlin, owner of WKFT-TV, addressed Council and stated that he had heard many complaints from citizens concerning the traffic lights and Mr. Scandlin gave examples of some of the problems that he personally had experienced. Councilmember Evans offered motion to follow the recommendation of the City Engineer to approve the mutual agreement for a Computerized Signal System, seconded by Councilmember Wofford and carried unanimously 5 to 0. 5. Consideration of revisions to Traffic Ordinances establishing 30-Minute Parking on a portion of Union Street and prohibiting parking on a portion of Union Street. Mr. Bennett presented this item and stated that the U.S. Postal Services occupies all of the East side of Union Street and part of the West side. They have requested that parking be limited to 30 minutes along Union Street. Mr. Bennett stated that they have reviewed this with the other two business owners on onion Street and they have no objection to the 30 minute limitation. Mr Bennett also stated that they have prepared the ordinances to provide for this and to prohibit parking on the approaches on Rowan Street and Mason Street, plus driveway entrances where parking is or would be a hazard. Councilmember Jones offered motion to follow recommendation of the City engineer and adopt the ordinances, seconded by Councilmember Felton and carried unanimously 5 to 0.

Consideration of a request for an encroachment of a balcony for the Pemberton Building over the Olde Fayetteville Commons and Burgess Street sidewalks. Mr. Bennett stated that the issuance of the Redevelopment Loan was the subject of a Public Hearing before Council on June 24, 1985, but no mention was made of the proposed permanent encroachment of a balcony. Mr. Bennett stated that he sees no problem with this encroachment; however, this type permanent encroachment should have Council approval. An attempt is being made to restore the building to conform to the original construction which research shows had a balcony along Hay Street and part of Burgess Street. This balcony was on the drawing at the time of the Redevelopment Loan Public Hearing. It was established that this has been before the Revitalization and Appearance Commissions. Councilmember Evans offered motion to follow the recommendation and approve the encroachment for the balcony on the Pemberton building, seconded by Councilmember Wofford and carried unanimously 5 to 0. 7. Consideration of the following Demolition Ordinances: Walter Haire presented a corrected description on Item A and there was opposition to Item C present tonight; therefore, Mr. Haire requested to address Item C first. C. 2811 C&D Breezewood (to include Electrical Service Drop Building) Mr. Haire stated that the property in question was owned by Mr. William Dowd and had been critically substandard since 1983. Mr. Haire presented pictures showing the dangerous service drop area for the whole trailer park, which has existed for over two years. Several extensions had granted to Mr. Dowd but there has been no response until one week ago. Mr. Dowd was recognized and addressed Council. He asked for a 60 day extension and he would have everything up to standards. Councilmember Evans offered motion to grant a 2-day extension on the electrical safety improvement, and a 30-day extension for the whole system to be put in, and a 60-day extension to complete the rest of the repairs, seconded by Councilmember Jones and carried unanimously 5 to 0.

Mr. Smith briefed Council on the two proposals stating that the cash sale offer by Mr. Bible was probably lower than the appraised value. He stated that both developers were present tonight to address Council. Mr. Jeff Galyon, Project Manager representing Jim Bible, stated that Mr. Bible has made a cash offer of $350,000.00 and intends to make a hotel for monthly residents depending upon the market study. These residents would be geared towards older tenants but not an elderly home as such. Mr. Galyon stated that there is a problem with tax credits that would not be available after this year, therefore would need to get the project underway as soon as possible. This would be a no-string cash offer. The hotel would be operated with all services furnished in the monthly rate including three meals a day. The only thing that would be extra would be a telephone, if the resident required a telephone. Mr. DeWayne Anderson, Developer from Winston-Salem addressed Council and stated that he specializes in redevelopment of old hotels and is a partner with two other people. In summarizing Mr. Anderson's proposal, he wants to begin work now to put a project together and will come back to the City within three weeks after the updated market study for the City's approval and to proceed from that point. They are interested in renovating the hotel and probably using the office space in addition to renovating the railroad station. Mr. Smith stated that there would have to be an advertisement of any offer made to purchase or lease this property. That advertisement could include whatever conditions Council and developer agree to. There was a question and answer session and lengthy discussion. Mayor Hurley recognized Sam Johnson and Howard Rudner who both expressed their opinions on what should be done on the Prince Charles matter, which was to postpone a decision. Councilmember Wofford proposed that Council designate Mr. Anderson as the developer and give him the six weeks to bring a proposal back to Council for approval. Councilmember Evans stated she felt that Council should give the two members that were absent due to illness in the family a change to be included in the decision of this project and requested that it be postponed until the next meeting in one week. 17.

Dawkins, Emaretta Felton, Jimmie Jones. Milo McBryde (arrived at 7:10 p.m.) John P. Smith, City Manager Roger L. Stancil, Assistant City Manager Robert C. Cogswell, Jr., City Attorney Mayor Hurley called the meeting to order and Councilmember Dawkins offered the Invocation. A request was made to discuss Item 2 at the beginning of the meeting regarding the Prince Charles proposal due to the plane schedule of the developer. 1. Discussion of the Prince Charles proposal. Mr. Smith stated that he had forwarded to Council the latest correspondence received on the Prince Charles Hotel, a letter from Mr. John Nagel, and he is still discussing the project with Mr. DeWayne Anderson and Mr. J. C. Bible, Jr. As of this time, there is nothing new to report. Mr. Smith did state that the Redevelopment Commission has been utilizing their funds that was set aside for the project and have contracted for an updated market analysis. The last analysis was done in 1984. Hopefully, this will be completed within the next two weeks and should indicate as to whether a hotel complex is still feasible for the downtown area. Councilmember Wofford suggested that Council wait until the new Council is elected and start a briefing session for the new councilmembers regarding the Prince Charges Hotel matter since they would be the ones to take any action concerning this. Mr. Bible was introduced and stated that he would change the date of their decision on his contract from June 5 to June 25 if this was desired. He presented brochures showing approximately what would be done with the Prince Charles Hotel and stated that it would be kept at its original appearance. He has made a cash sell offer of $350,000.00 for the 2.6 acres excluding the hotel. The primary use would be for retired people of moderate income. He also requested that the City work with him on the park area, but there would be no obligation by the City for the hotel. Mr. Bible also stated that he would consider the development of an office building only if a third of the building could be rented before beginning construction. There were a few questions by Council of Mr. Bible following his presentation. Mr. Anderson was introduced and he stated that he would like to use a systematic approach. He would want to build to the maximum potential of the property and would present and produce for Council within six weeks his development package. Mr. Anderson stated this would give him a few weeks after the market analysis came in and he feels that there is still a possibility to renegotiate the UDAG loan in the event that the hotel does not work on a hardship basis. The Council had a brief question session following Mr. Anderson's proposal. Mr. John Nagel was introduced and stated that a hotel might enhance the area but it seldom inspired an area to refurbish. He suggested that Council use the funds from the UDAG to also revitalize the area across the street or would not succeed. Mr. Nagel also requested that Council delay everything the market study has come in and then they would he prepared to gather financing package. There was a brief question session with Mr. Anderson following his proposal. Councilmember Jones thanked the staff for the work they had put in to get this project finalized. 2. Consideration of amendments to the Cablevision franchise. Mr. Smith presented this matter and stated that after having met with Mr. Bickett several times, he feels this amendment is a fair compromise. Mr. Smith stated there was an additional change. Section 26, Payment to the City, is amended by: 1. Deleting from the first sentence the words and figures “an amount equal to four percent (4%)” and substituting therefore the words and figures “a franchise fee equal to five percent (5%).” 2. Deleting the last two sentences in said paragraph and substituting therefore the following: “`Gross operating revenue and receipts' shall mean grantees gross revenues received from all sources from subscribers to the CATV system resident in the City of Fayetteville and that portion of any advertisement revenue or other revenue generated by the system applied by grantee as the pro-rata share of the City subscribers in relation to the total of grantees subscribers in Cumberland County, North Carolina.” (A copy of Mr. Smith's memorandum of May 23 and March 14 is attached to the original minutes.) There was brief discussion and Councilmember Jones stated that he feels the customer should not have to pay more than Raleigh customers are paying when Raleigh receives more channels.

Consideration of a proposed amendment regarding the procedure for withdrawal of rezoning application. Mr. Mitchell stated that the proposed amendment was drafted at the request one Planning Board as a result of a situation encountered last year in which the same piece of property was considered several times and was withdrawn each time before a final decision was made. There was substantial opposition from the neighborhood. The Planning Board's feeling is that this tactic can be used to wear down neighborhood opposition and causes unnecessary public expense since the application fee covers only a portion of the cost of processing a rezoning application. Councilmember Evans offered motion to refer the proposed amendment to repeal and recreate Section 32-73f to the Planning Board, seconded by Councilmember Dawkins and carried unanimously. 6. Consideration of date for Public Hearings for FY 86-87 City Budget and General Revenue Sharing Budget and Amendment to FY 85-86 General Revenue Sharing Budget.

A. 1108 Clark Street; Apartments 1, 2, 3 and 5 Mr. Walter Haire presented this item and stated that Mr. Alvin Turner, owner of the Clark Street Apartments, was present and wished to address Council. Mr. Turner was recognized and stated that he had vandalism damage to the property over the past years and has been trying to refurbish the apartments.

The North Carolina League of Municipalities Board of Directors has considered all the plans put forward by Governor Martin's proposed per gallon increase in gasoline tax and has voted unanimously to endorse the Governor's proposal. We recommend adoption of the resolution supporting the League's position on the highway funding. Councilmember Wofford moved to adopt the resolution, seconded by Councilmember Dawkins and carried unanimously. RESOLUTION CONCERNING THE STATE'S HIGHWAY NEEDS. RESOLUTION NO. R1986-92. 11.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE AMENDING A FRANCHISE FOR COMMUNITY ANTENNA TELEVISION IN THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE. ORDINANCE NO. NS1986-12. 12. Consideration of development proposal for Municipal Market. Mr. Smith presented this item and stated that the banks are requiring 5,000 square feet or space to be pre-leased prior to closing the loan for the Municipal Market. This requirement can be waived if the City will in essence guarantee the equivalent of two years at 5,000 square feet at 7.06 per square foot ($70,600). This could be accomplished by the establishment of a loan reserve over a three-year period. This loan reserve would be used to fund any shortfall in leases up to the 5,000 square foot, for the first two years of the project. As the project is leased up, the fund would be reduced. If any of the City funds are used, they would become a second mortgage in the project and would be due back to the City upon sale or refinance. A similar arrangement was used to finance the Raleigh Market project. Mr. Smith went on to say that he believed that the most prudent course of action would be to consider this proposal when the Council considers the Tax District Budget. Mr. Roland Gammons, President of White Oak Properties, Inc. of Raleigh, was recognized and stated that the Market project would be called the Lafayette Square. This project has been delayed because the banks want at least 5,000 square feet of the retail and restaurant complex to be leased before the loan closings. Mr. Gammons said that the Council's commitment would help him secure financing for the project which he hopes to complete by Thanksgiving. He said the banks had been reluctant to loan money for the project because he hasn't leases any of the estimated 20,000 square feet of space. Mr. Gammons stated he cannot lease it without the project being finished. Mr. Gammuns also requests that the City demolish the present Farmers Market and another building adjoining the old train depot bounded by Franklin, Burgess, and Maxwell Streets and provide the water, sewer, and storm drainage services to within five feet of the building foundations. Councilmember McBryde stated that he feels that the bank doesn't think it is a good risk and feels it is similar to the Prince Charles liability, and the project must be shaky if the banks didn't want to loan him the money. Following lengthy discussion and questions of Mr. Gammons, Councilmember Evans offered motion to approve the agreement to allocate money contingent upon it coming from the downtown special tax district, seconded by Councilmember Wofford. Following further discussion, Councilmember Dawkins offered substitute motion to follow the recommendation of the City Manager to consider this matter when the special tax district budget was considered, seconded by Councilmember Felton and failed 6 to 1 with Mayor Hurley and Councilmembers Wofford, Evans, McBryde, Jones, and Felton voting no. The original motion by Mrs. Evans to approve the agreement contingent upon it coming from the downtown special tax district was voted upon and carried 6 to 1 with Councilmember McBryde voting no. 13. Consideration of annual contract for fiscal year ending June 30, 1986. Mr. Smith stated that this will be the third year under contract with Haign, Byrd and Lambert. The City will again request proposals for the next three years. One half of the contract amount is paid by PWC. Mr. Smith recommends that Council authorize the Mayor to execute the contract. Councilmember Wofford offered motion, seconded by Councilmember McBryde to follow the recommendation and award the contract to audit accounts of the City of Fayetteville by Haigh, Byrd and Lambert, carried unanimously. 14. (Considered earlier in the meeting.) 15. Delegations or individuals wishing to address Council: Mr. Joe Phillips addressed Council concerning an easement on his property. This deals with a drainage ditch and pipe that he had installed. However, the Engineering Department informed him that this pipe would have to be removed because it was not the correct size he said. Council asked Mr. Bennett to respond and Mr. Bennett requested to address Council at a later time of the facts of this matter. Mr. Cogswell presented a resolution of this City Council's support of House Bill as concerning the hazardous waste disposal that Mr. Rudner had requested at a previous meeting. Mr. Cogswell stated he saw nothing wrong with the resolution. Councilmember Evans offered motion to adopt the resolution in support of the House Bill 795 concerning the inactive hazardous substance disposal sites, seconded by Councilmember Jones, carried unanimously. RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE IN SUPPORT OF HOUSE BILL 795 (INACTIVE HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE DISPOSAL SITES) RESOLUTION NO. R1986-93. Mr. Sandy Saunders, Parks and Recreation Commission Chairman, appeared before Council and stated that they do not want a task force to designate how to use or to spend their funds. He said they preferred to do their own designations. 16. Appointments: A. Nominations to fill three vacancies on the Airport Commission.

Public Hearings: Consideration of closing River Street from Person Street to South Racepath Street. Mr. Bennett stated that N.C. D.O.T. plans to make an improvement on Person Street east of U.S. 301/Eastern Boulevard. The improvement is to widen Person Street on the south side, in order to extend the existing, very short, left turn lane. This improvement is contingent upon River Street being closed. Mr. Bennett stated he had been contacted by several property owners that have expressed the desire that it be closed and Staff sees no public need to keep River Street open. Mr. John A. Williams, Jr., was recognized in opposition. He is a property owner who stated he will lose access to his property if it is closed. He also stated that a member of the Planning Department told him that King Street would be closed eventually. Mr. Williams was concerned that in the future if he built on the property, he would not have access to or from his property. Mrs. E. J. Kenyon, property owner at 802 and 804 Person Street was recognized stating that she would only have access to the Person Street entrance of her businesses if that portion of River Street was closed due to the rear of her buildings facing River Street and property owners on each side. Mr. Bennett responded that he knew of no plans to close King Street and since he had one written and one verbal request from property owners to close that portion of River Street, it was therefore recommended. Following lengthy discussion, Councilmember Evans offered motion to close a portion of River Street between Person and South King Street, seconded by Councilmember Kendrick and carried 8-1 with Councilmember Torrey voting no. RESOLUTION AND ORDER CLOSING A PORTION OF RIVER STREET. R1986-95. 4. PWC Matters: Consideration of amendment to FY 85-86 Budget. Mr. Ray Britt, Finance Director from PWC, was present on this matter.

Planning Board Matters: Consideration of the rezoning from R5 Residential District to C3 Heavy Commercial District or to a more restrictive zoning classification for an area located at 112 Underwood Street, 637 and 639 North Street. Mr. Al Mitchell presented this item and stated that the Planning Board recommends approval and the Planning Staff recommends denial. Councilmember Evans stated that she would consider a special use permit for that particular property but not rezoning to C-3 due to what could be done if the property owner ever sold. Council recognized Mr. Immanuel Jackson, area property owner, who stated that if this is rezoned to C-3, it would affect the taxpayers because of the increase due to this becoming commercially zoned. Bill Maxwell appeared for the owners of the funeral home and stated that the reason for this request is to be able to build a building to house their vehicles to prevent break-ins of the funeral home vehicles. He asked if the special use is transferable with the property if it were sold, and Mr. Mitchell responded that it could be. Following discussion, Councilmember Evans offered motion to return this item to the Planning Department to proceed with an application for a special use permit on this property for parking, seconded by Councilmember Johnson, At this time, Council recognized Mr. Cicero Fowler, 714 North Street, who stated that he was opposed to C-3 rezoning. The Mayor advised him that Mrs. Evans' motion would eliminate a C-3 rezoning. Mrs. Eleanor Williams, a property owner on North Street, was recognized and stated that she wants sidewalks in the area. Councilmember Johnson withdrew his second to Councilmember Evans' motion because he didn't understand that it was for parking only. He stated he was in favor of allowing a special use permit with no limitations of funeral home uses as allowed by the state statute. Councilmember Ross seconded Councilmember Evans motion. The motion failed with a 6-3 vote, Councilmembers McBryde, Ross, Pillow, Torrey, Johnson, and Kendrick voting against and Councilmembers Evans, Dawkins and Jones voting for. Councilmember McBryde offered motion to follow recommendation of the Planning Board and rezone from R-5 Residential to C-3 Heavy Commercial district so that it can be used for funeral home uses, seconded by Councilmember Johnson and failed with a 6-3 vote, Councilmembers Evans, Jones, Ross, Pillow, Torrey and Kendrick voting against and Councilmembers Dawkins, McBryde and Johnson voting for. 6. Presentation by the Future Fayetteville Task, Force of recommendation of projects for proposed bond referendum. Mr. Bob Ray and Mr. Jim Carson, Co-Chairman of the Future Fayetteville Task Force, were recognized. Mr. Ray stated that this task force was appointed by Mayor Hurley with the objective being to evaluate the capital needs of the City of Fayetteville and recommend to Council whose needs which the Task Force would suggest that might be put on a bond referendum for $28.5 million to be subdivided among the projects in the manner disclosed. A copy of the memorandum and the attached recommendations are attached to the original minutes of this meeting. The members of the Task Force present at the meeting stood and were recognized. Councilmember Dawkins stated that no public funds can be used, it will have to he private funds. He thanked the Task Force members for the hard work that they had put into this recommendation. Councilmember Johnson stated he feels that the Parks and Recreation portion or this project should be joint City/County sponsored. Mr. Ray responded that the City Parks and Recreation had been approached with this by the Task Force and they were open to exploring this idea. Councilmember Ross stated that she was concerned that there may not have been a cross section of people involved on the planning of this according to the accounts in the newspaper. Mr. Carson responded that there had been a cross section represented, but he didn't know where they all lived. Councilmember Evans offered motion to receive the report from the Task Force, seconded by Councilmember Pillow, and carried unanimously. Mayor Hurley recognized the City Attorney who stated that the statute read, “At the organizational meeting, the Council shall elect from its members a Mayor Pro-Tem to serve at the pleasure of the Council.” Mr. Cogswell stated he felt it the statute read you “may” elect a Mayor Pro-Tem, then it could be postponed, but the word “shall,” in his interpretation, means Council should do this tonight. Councilmember Evans offered motion to elect Councilmember Dawkins Mayor Pro-Tem and then at the first meeting of the Policy Committee discuss the question of Mayor Pro-Tem in the future, seconded by Councilmember McBryde and carried unanimously. 7. Consideration of Resolution Fixing Date of Public Hearing on Question of Annexation pursuant to G.S. 160A-31, as amended (5501 Ramsey Street - Raleigh Road, Longleaf Villas). Following brief discussion, Councilmember McBryde moved to adopt the resolution fixing the date of the public hearing on the question of the annexation as recommended, seconded by Councilmember Kendrick and carried unanimously. RESOLUTION FIXING DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON QUESTION OF ANNEXATION PURSUANT TO G.S. 160A-31 AS AMENDED (5501 RAMSEY STREET, LONGLEAF VILLAS). RESOLUTION NUMBER R1986-96. 8. Consideration of execution of quitclaim deed to the Howard Trust of the Gillespie Street Library. The City Attorney requested that Council delay this matter until he can receive further information. Councilmember Jonnson offered motion to delay this item as recommended, seconded by Councilmember Ross and carried unanimously. 9. Consideration of transfer of funds from Council contingency for purchase of replacement body for pothole patcher for the Street Division. Mr. Smith presented this item and stated that this is not a budgeted item, however, there are sufficient funds left in the contingency account. This is an essential place of equipment and should be replaced as soon as possible. The cost of replacement is approximately $20,000. Mr. Bennett stated that the City has a truck with a body specifically designed with heated compartments for bituminous plant mix and liquid asphalt. This vehicle is used almost every day, weather permitting, to patch streets throughout the City. The recent corrosion has caused numerous holes to appear in one body and it has been determined that the body cannot be repaired. Councilmember Jones suggested that this piece of equipment be discarded and go back to dump trucks with canvas covers to haul asphalt for patching the streets. Several Councilmembers asked questions concerning this piece of equipment an Mr. Bennett responded that some of the benefits of this piece of property being replaced is that other parts of the machine are in good working order and it is designed to be kept heated at all times, thus eliminating waste and speeding up the operation. Also, it eliminates having a man stand on the back of a dump truck in the asphalt trying to throw it off the back of the truck. It also cools down and the quality decreases. Following lengthy discussion, Councilmember Evans offered motion, seconded by Councilmember Dawkins to follow the recommendation of staff to approve the replacement of the pothole machine at approximately $20,000. There was then some further discussion, and Councilmember Kendrick called for the question, a show of hands showed the majority in favor. Mayor Hurley repeated the motion, which was to follow the recommendation to transfer funds from Council contingency for the purchase of a replacement body for the pothole patcher. Motion carried 8-1 with Councilmember Jones voting no. 10. Appointments. A. Nominations to fill one (1) vacancy on the Board of Appeals on Dwellings and Buildings. Councilmember Jones nominated Jane Cherry. B. Nominations to fill two (2) vacancies on the Board of Adjustment. Councilmember McBryde nominated F. Royal Lloyd, Jr. 11.

Mayor Hurley responded that his should and would be referred to the Police Committee. Mr. Watson also stated he has not received the requested petition for Marlborough Road traffic problem. Mr. Bennett responded with an apology for not having had time to prepare the written petition, but assured him that he would receive it within the week. 12. Administrative Reports: A. Briefing on status of Prince Charles Hotel project. Mr. Smith stated that due to the length of the meeting, he would submit in writing his briefing. B. Other.

Councilmember Dawkins expressed appreciation for the Inaugural Ceremony program that had been printed by the Mayor's office. Mayor Hurley thanked Frank Dallas of the Engineering Department and Bill McGuyan, Administrative Services, for the redesign of the Council Chamber. The Mayor also thanked the Police Officer for being in attendance at the meeting and reminded Council that in July they would have a Council workshop for their plans for the future.

Mr. David Sanders Clark, Secretary to Board of Directors and member of the Museum of Art, for thirteen of the fifteen years was recognized.

Mrs. Phyllis Laslett, Director of the Museum of Art, also appeared and introduced Ms. Libby Fosso who spoke on the methods of teaching art especially to children. They thanked Council for all the support. Mr. Ernest McNeil, Professor at Fayetteville State University, representing the Orange Street School Restoration Historical Association, Inc., appeared before Council and requested funds assistance for restoring the second oldest building in Fayetteville - Orange Street School. The use of the building will be a living history/multi-purpose museum. Some of the things that need to be done is a new roof and an architectural design study. He is recommending $90,000.

Public hearing on amendment of Fiscal Year 1985-86 General Revenue Sharing Budget.

At this time, Mr. Smith stated that a public hearing had been advertised but omitted from the agenda concerning a public hearing for a redevelopment loan to Larry King for the Pemberton Building. Mr. Herrera stated that this was for an additional loan of $41,400 in order to complete this project. The proposed use of the building is for the first floor to be retail, second floor for office, and third floor for apartments. Mr. Cogswell verified that this was a tax-free loan under the program and the only liability to the City is limited solely to whatever payments the borrower makes. No City funds are involved, but a public hearing must be held under this program. Councilmember Dawkins stated that this was $325,000 in private money being spent abutting the Transit Mall. Only three blocks from where $24,000,000 in private money that has been spent in the last three years with $325,000,000 that will probably be spent in the 100 Block of Robeson Street making better than $25,000,000 in private funds spent in the downtown area. Councilmember Evans offered motion to approve the additional $41,400 loan making a total of $325,150 to complete the Pemberton Building project by Mr. Larry King, seconded by Councilmember Jones and carried unanimously. 3. Consideration of proposal for Prince Charles Hotel. Mr. Smith stated that this goes back to 1977 when this City purchased the Hotel for approximately $176,000. After lengthy negotiations the City purchased the entire tract of land behind the Hotel all the way to the main rail track including the Amtrak Station. It was necessary to purchase this property through negotiation farther than condemnation because the property was owned by the railroad. The sale was finally closed in 1981. During 1983 and 1984, Zuchelli-Hunter put a proposed project together including a market feasibility study, a hotel franchise agreement with Radison, Inc., a commitment from a hotel operator and commitments from a financing firm for equity syndication. With this information, the City made application to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for an Urban Development Action Grant (UDAG) in the amount of $3,000,000. In June, 1984, the City was awarded $2.6 million in UDAG funds. The budget for the project was as follows: $2,600,000 Urban Development Action Grant 3,200,000 Syndicated Equity 8,200,000 Long-Term Debt 500.000 Section 108 Federal Loan In the summer of 1984, all commitments were in place to proceed with a project except for the placement of the $8.2 million in long-term debt. Through the Fall of 1984 and up through the spring of 1985 the developer working with the City staff and Fayetteville Progress attempted to place a long-term debt, but all attempts were unsuccessful. Finally in the Fall of 1985 the City decided to turn to a new developer and requested proposals from interested developers. The City received proposal from Mr. John Schwarz, Mr. Barnes and Mr. Allen, Mr. Dwayne Anderson, Amhurst Development, and Owen Kugel. In 1986, Mr. Schwarz presented a proposal to the City Council that was rejected due to the long-term commitment he requested from the City for the project. The City began immediately contacting other developers that were still interested. We have before us at this time, three proposals: Mr. J. C. Bible has offered to purchase the property for $350,000 with no strings attached. Amhurst Development and Mr. Anderson are putting together proposals for developing the Hotel in accordance with the general concepts in the UDAG application. Mr. Bible's offer to purchase will expire on June 25, 1986. Therefore, some action will be needed on Mr. Bible's offer. Mr. Smith stated that the firm of Pannell, Kerr, Forster, CPA's has forwarded us the study of the market for the Prince Charles Hotel which the Redevelopment Commission recently ordered. The essence of their study is as follows: • They feel that the Prince Charles Hotel can achieve an occupancy rate which would be slightly lower than the overall market for similar properties. • Their estimates of occupancy and average day room rate are predicted on the assumption that renovation revitalization in the immediate area of the Hotel will have occurred by the time the Hotel opens. • The Hotel is projected to have 150 quest rooms, a 125-seat three-meal-a-day restaurant, an 80-seat intimate cocktail lounge, and a banquet and meeting space totalling 6,000 square feet. The rooms would have high quality - furnishings and fixtures. (A copy of Mr. Smith's memorandum summary of the background report and the executive summary of the latest market analysis is attached to the original minutes). Mr. John Nagel of the Amhurst Development Company from Pinecrest, North Carolina, appeared before Council. Mr. Nagel stated that they viewed the downtown as an overall project rather than taking the Hotel building, restoring it, and leaving the rest of the area in a rundown condition. They have talked with some of the property owners across the street from the Prince Charles Hotel and they seem interested in entering into this venture. Amhurst has offered the City $500,000 for the Hotel, nearby train station and 2.41 acres of property surrounding the Hotel. Mr. Nagel stated that they wanted to move the Amtrak Station closer to the hotel in order to convert it into a restaurant easily accessible to the Hotel. Councilmember Johnson was favorable to the concept of revitalizing the area across from Prince Charles but he was opposed to the railroad station being moved from its present location. Councilmember Evans offered motion to accept the proposal from Amhurst Development Company of Southern Pines and advertise the property for upset bids, seconded by Councilmember Ross. Following discussion, Councilmember Evans amended her motion to include allowing the staff to negotiate specific conditions. Mrs. Ross seconded the amendment, carried 8-1 with Councilmember Johnson voting no. Mr. Sandy Saunders Chairman of the Advisory Board for the Parks and Recreation was recognized and he stated that the joint meeting of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and City Council would meet July 8, at the Senior Service Center. Council will be served supper. 4. Consideration of various budget ordinance amendments: a. Change 86-10 is to CAP-8 b. Change 86-11 is to CAP 84-4, Air Cargo Facilities c.

Mr. Smith presented this item and recommended approval of the agreement. Councilmember Kendrick offered motion to approve the agreement to enter into the North Carolina League of Municipalities Risk Management Program for auto and general liability insurance, seconded by Councilmember Evans and carried unanimously. Mr. Smith stated that a Resolution of Intent to participate in the Transit Inter local Risk Financing Fund of North Carolina was not included in the agenda but he recommended that this be adopted. Councilmember Evans offered motion to adopt the Resolution of Intent, seconded by Councilmember Torrey, carried unanimously. RESOLUTION OF INTENT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE TRANSIT INTERLOCAL RISK FINANCING FUND OF NORTH CAROLINA. R1986-97. Mr. Smith brought to Council's attention a requirement of $1,000 insurance bond for purchasing privilege licenses by certain businesses. He stated that this requirement has been on the books for quite some time and Council might need to consider eliminating this requirement. It can be brought up as an ordinance amendment at a future meeting. At this time, Council recognized Mr. Robert Salazar of 7518 Paxton Drive. He was concerned about a billboard on Bragg Boulevard facing the traffic to Fort Bragg. Mr. Salazar stated that he feels this billboard is obscene and it should be removed or the language changed. The billboard was put up by the people that are against abortion. Mr. Salasar stated that he feels this sign can be offensive and harmful to children viewing the sign. Mayor Hurley responded to Mr. Salazar by informing him that the City has no jurisdiction over things in the County. The City Attorney will check on the location of the sign and get back with Mr. Salazar. Councilmember Ross had stated her concerns regarding the petition for the stop signs in the Marlborough Street area for Mr. Ben Watson. She stated that Mr. Watson had not received the petition form from the City Engineer. Councilmember Kendrick responded to Mrs. Ross's statement that he has been working with the City Engineer, Street Maintenance, and police Department regarding this petition and these stop signs and they are working on this matter now. Mr. Kendrick stated this may be why the City Engineer had not gotten in touch with Mr. Watson. Councilmember Kendrick offered motion, seconded by Councilmember Jones to enter executive session regarding litigation, land transaction and a personnel matter at 9:34 p.m. Council reconvened into regular session at 10:15 p.m. The City Attorney recommended that the City purchase lots 101 and 102 of College Lakes Section 1 from Mrs. Wilton Melton, for the purpose of a fire station, for the sum of $20,000, subject to the title being free and clear. Councilmember Dawkins offered motion to follow the recommendation to purchase lots 101 and 102 of College Lakes Section 1 from Mrs. Wilton Melton for the purpose of a fire station, for the sum of $20,000, subject to the title being free and clear, seconded by Councilmember Kendrick and carried unanimously.

Mr. Bennett presented this item and stated that the initial plan of Ray Avenue extension was to be along the west side of the railroad tracks and, several years ago, the decision was made to extend Ray Avenue along the east side of the tracks where it is now being constructed. Mention has been made of the benefits of Williams Street as an escape when Franklin Street be blocked by trains. There is some benefits to this block of Williams Street as an escape route. Because of the benefits as an escape route for the general public, the police, and other emergency vehicles, staff recommends Williams Street remain open. Mr. Bennett stated that the Ray Avenue extension completion date will hopefully be August 11, 1986. The City Manager stated that based upon these concerns, he recommends taking no action on the request at this time and reconsider the request after Ray Avenue is open for a period of time for us to evaluate the impact of the new Ray Avenue. Mr. Bob McCoy, M&O Chevrolet, the only property owner on that street, appeared in favor of having Williams Street closed. He stated that it has been temporarily closed for some time and there being very little traffic there other than their own, it would benefit them to consolidate their property. Mr. McCoy further stated that the train would create a blocking situation in that area. There was no one to appear in opposition. Councilmember McBryde offered motion to follow the recommendation of the City Manager and continue this public hearing until a traffic survey has been made after the completion of the Ray Avenue extension, seconded by Councilmember Ross. Following some discussion, it was decided that the public hearing had been completed. Councilmember McBryde amended his motion to follow the recommendation of the City Manager and continue the decision until the traffic survey has been made after the Ray Avenue extension completion, motion carried unanimously. B. Consideration of the paving pursuant to petition of West Street from Whitfield Road to South Street. Mr. W. D. O'Quinn, owner of several pieces of property and trailers on that street, appeared in favor stating that he has tried for 14 years to get the street paved and would appreciate Council's approval. There was no one in opposition present at the meeting. Councilmember Ross offered motion to adopt the resolution for paving West Street from Whitfield Road to South Street, seconded by Councilmember Jones and carried unanimously. A FINAL RESOLUTION REQUIRING THE PAVING OF WEST STREET FROM WHITFIELD ROAD TO SOUTH STREET. RESOLUTION NO. R1986-100. C. Consideration of the rezoning from C1 Local Business District to R6 Residential District or to a more restrictive zoning classification than presently zoned for an area located on the west side of Ramsey Street, south of Floyd Street. Mr. Mitchell presented this case, Number P86-57, and stated that the Planning Board recommends denial, but the planning staff recommends approval based on the fact that the site meets the location criteria for medium-density residential development as outlined in the Land Use Policies Plan and that the R6 Residential District is an appropriate zoning district designation for medium-density development. Robert Winters, representing the petitioner Mrs. Ana Chao, appeared in favor of this rezoning. Most of Mrs. Chao's property is zoned R6 but a small portion is beyond therefore, in order for townhouses to be constructed on this property, it would need to be rezoned to R6. Councilmember Evans informed Mr. Winters that the Council only considered rezoning for what could be done with property, not what is intended for the property. Opposed to the rezoning was Mr. C. V. Carroll, representing several property owners in the area. He stated that this has been a quiet, long-time resident area and they do not want it saturated with transients. Mr. Carroll presented to the City Clark a petition consisting of 129 names of either property owner or renters in the area that are opposed to the rezoning. Also opposed was Mr. Frank Crumbley, 130 Rowland Circle. Mr. Crumbley stated that the area consisted of long-time residents. He also stated he would have to install a chain-linked fence around his property to keep children from playing there and possibly vandalizing his belongings. Mr. Crumbley also stated that his property would become a cut-through. Mrs. Virginia Carroll, 2404 Morganton Road, stated that she was the property owner behind this area and her land had been used for different organizations, youth groups and handicapped children, and church organizations. She stated that the nature of the neighborhood is quiet and residential and this type of construction that is planned would only bring in transients which would be bad for the area. She shared also a concern about the traffic situation that could result. Mr. Tommy Watts, 2919 Ramsey Street, stated that he was concerned with the deterioration of the lake in that area due to the erosion from the building construction. Councilmember Evans offered motion to approve the rezoning. There was no second to her motion. Councilmember Jones offered motion to deny the rezoning, seconded by Councilmember Ross and carried 8 to 1 with Councilmember Evans voting no. D. Consideration of an ordinance to extend the corporate limits of the City of Fayetteville, North Carolina (pursuant to G.S. 160A-31, as amended) - (Longleaf Villas - 5501 Ramsey Street). Mr. Smith stated that this is a 100 percent property-owner petition annexation. The petition has been reviewed by the Annexation Management Team and has recommended approval. Opposed to the annexation was Mr. Clinton Harris, representing the Fayetteville/Cumberland County citizens Association, Post Office Box 1792, Fayetteville, North Carolina 28302, and a resident of 4713 Watuaga Road, Fayetteville, North Carolina 28304. Mr. Harris stated that he is opposed to this annexation because it would dilute the minority voting; and unless the Council goes to the single-member districts and none at-large, he would be opposed to the annexation. Mayor Hurley stated that he feels any time an annexation matter comes before Council, it will probably be objected to for this same reason and he requested a member of the staff to respond to the objection. The City Attorney responded that we subunit the information to the Department of Justice and they do their own investigation and then inform us. Councilmember McBryde offered to adopt the annexation ordinance, seconded by Councilmember Dawkins and carried 8 to 1 with Councilmember Ross voting no. AN ORDINANCE TO EXTEND THE CORPORATE LIMITS OF THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA. 5501 RAMSEY STREET - LONGLEAF VILLAS (RALEIGH ROAD). ANNEXATION ORDINANCE NO. 86-7-296. 3. PWC Matters: A. Consideration of an offer to purchase City property by North Carolina Department of Transportation. Mr. Tom McNeil stated that these two small parcels of property were transferred from Carolina Power and Light Company many years ago as part of a sale of a 69KV subtransmission line. NCDOT wishes to purchase, in fee simple, a portion of each of these parcels in connection with construction of the CBD Loop. The sale of the property would not conflict with PWC's electric system. Mr. McNeill stated that the value of the property is limited to its use as a right-of-way for PWC's transmission circuit. The Commission voted unanimously to forward this offer to the City and recommended acceptance of DOT's offer. Councilmember Evans offered motion to approve the sale, seconded by Councilmember Kendrick and carried unanimously. B. Consideration of bid award to Rigby Electric Supply Company for purchase of 200,000 feet 1/C-1/0 Solid 3/4 Hard Drawn Conductor.

Appearance by Mr. Rufus Memory to appeal action of City Manager and City Attorney in denial of claim for damages. Mr. Smith stated that Mr. Memory had left a phone message in his office that he would not be present at the meeting. Mr. Smith stated that he recommended Council take no action on this item until he can get in touch with Mr. Memory. Council took no action. 5. Consideration of reallocation of Section 9A Transit Grant funds to the State of North Carolina. Councilmember Johnson asked if these funds could not be used in another area instead of returning them. Mr. Smith responded that the monies are allocated for this and if not used, are returned to Washington to be distributed to other states and therefore he recommends that the funds be reallocated to the Governor of North Carolina to be used by cities in North Carolina. Councilmember Jones asked if these funds could not be used for purchasing passenger vans. Mr. Stancil responded that for these purchases it would have to go through a planning process and the deadline for using these funds would expire. Then the money would automatically go back to Washington. Councilmember Evans offered motion to approve the reallocation to the state, seconded by Councilmember Dawkins and carried unanimously. 6. Consideration of recommendations from the Future Fayetteville Task Force. There was some discussion by Council on desiring a more detailed list or breakdown of the items being requested. Council also wanted to hear from the parks and Recreation Advisory Board before making a decision on this and since an information meeting is scheduled with the parks and Recreation Advisory Board and City Council on Tuesday night, July 8, Councilmember Evans offered motion to continue the action until the July 8 meeting, seconded by Councilmember McBryde. The City Attorney advised Council that this would need to be done at the end of tonight's meeting rather than at this point. Therefore, the motion and second were withdraw. 7.

Mr. Smith stated that this final payment has been held up due to a lawsuit still pending. The City takes no position one way or the other as to who is at fault or who was responsible and the City is not a defendant in the lawsuit. The dispute arises over the payment for bricks supplied on the Transit Mall and is between the paving company and the Contracting company. It is recommended that Council authorize the Mayor to sign the indemnification agreement and the City make final payment to Cumberland Paving Company.

Following lengthy discussion, Council agreed to staff's proposal. 17. Matters of interest to Council: Councilmember Johnson requested Mr. Bennett to check with property owners on two corners that he felt need to be widened, to see if he can negotiate purchasing enough property from him for this widening. The corners are on Pinecrest Drive and Westmont. Mr. Johnson also stated that he agreed that the Transit Mall is very beautiful but not very practical. He requested that maybe some modifications could be made to allow parking. Mr. Johnson stated he has had many requests from downtown businesses and citizens requesting parking and traffic be allowed on the Hay Street Mall. Mayor Hurley responded that UMTA money was the only way that the Mall could be constructed and cars nor traffic cannot be allowed on the downtown Mall. Mr. Dawkins stated that the Belk property for parking in the 100 block should help the situation and he has also heard several remarks from citizens regarding opening of the downtown Mall to traffic. Councilmember Ross asked if there was a possibility of extending Little Theater to one of the theaters downtown to hold more patrons and with things happening downtown, vandalism might not be as much. Councilmember Evans commented that she has had no problem parking in the downtown area and that she is there quite often. Mrs. Evans stated that she does not feel that is the problem now. She also stressed the fact that if traffic is allowed in that area, then approximately $2 million would have to be refunded to UMTA.

Contract for purchase of uniforms to Hub-Stinnette Uniforms, Inc., lowest responsible bidder, HUB-Stinnette Uniforms, Inc. in the amount of $57,602.30. 3. Contract for purchase of safety shoes to Saf-Gard Safety Shoe Company, Inc., the lowest bidder meeting specifications, Saf-Gard Safety Shoe Company, Inc. in the amount of $6,795.00. Councilmember McBryde stated he did not feel that enough information was sent in the package concerning these items. For example, how many shoes are involved and what departments. Also, the second lowest bid was taken instead of the lowest bid on one item. Mr. Pillow questioned why only one bid was taken on uniforms. Mr. Jones questioned why there were two separate bids on shoes. Mr. McGugan was recognized and responded that there is more of a monopoly in the area because of merging or there were just no other bids offered. The Fire Department shoes are a safety shoe, and the low bidder did not meet specifications. Mr. McGugan also further stated that hopefully in the future, the uniforms will be purchased in one lump and then altered in-house. Councilmember Torrey arrived at 7:15 p.m. Councilmember Ross offered motion to award the bid contracts on Item F 1, and 3 as recommended, seconded by Councilmember Kendrick, and carried unanimously with a 7-0 vote. Councilmember Dawkins and Evans absent. 2. Public Hearings: A. Consideration of drainage improvement, pursuant to petition, along the common property line between lots 83 and 84 - Country Club North, Plat Book 44, Page 9 - 3485 Thamesford Drive. Councilmember Johnson asked the City Engineer if this drain pipe was going installed properly from front to back because of the problems of drainage that exists in other parts of the City. Councilmember Jones stated he did not feel that the citizens should not be assessed any amount of this pipe being installed because the developer in this area built many houses that caused water run-off creating this drainage problem. He further stated that the pipe at 3606 Clearwater Drive should be put in free also. Mr. Jones stated that he feels when a permit is issued by the Inspection Department, it should be covered thoroughly that this would be taken care of by the developer. Mr. Charles Willis, 3485 Thamesford Drive, owner of Lot 83, appeared in favor and requested that the pipe be turned to go to the sublet instead of the direction that it was planned. He also stated that he agreed with Mr. Jones that he should not have to pay for this project. There was no one in opposition to appear before Council. Councilmember Jones offered motion to provide the drainage improvement along the common property line between Lots 83 and 84 - Country Club North, 3485 Thamesford Drive and 3606 Clearwater Drive, at the City's expense and in the future work closer with the developer to prevent this from happening, seconded by Councilmember Ross. Mayor Hurley requested that Mr. Bennett explain the current policy on this matter. Mr. Bennett responded that the many drainage problems caused the Council to adopt this policy because the City did not have the money to pay for the many miles of ditches and streams to be piped at 100% of the City's budget cost. The City would not participate in any subdivision or new property development. Only in correcting old or existing situations and only if there is street water going into the channel, then the City will recognize 1/2 of the cost. Mr. Bennett further responded that basically what the Council was doing was keeping the property owners of substandard property from having to pay 100% to bring the lot up to par when it wasn't worth that in the first place. Councilmember Dawkins offered substitute motion to adopt the resolution, seconded by Councilmember McBryde and carried 5-3 with Councilmembers Jones, Kendrick and Ross voting no. FINAL RESOLUTION ORDERING THE CONSTRUCTION OF A STORM SEWER AND DRAINAGE SYSTEM OF THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA, INTO A PORTION OF COUNTRY CLUB NORTH, SECTION 3. RESOLUTION TITLE R1986-110. The Chair suggested that any time a change in a policy is requested that it should go before the Policy Committee first. B. Consideration of an ordinance to extend to the corporate limits of the City of Fayetteville, North Carolina (pursuant to G.S. 160A-31, as amended) - (Cross Pointe Shopping Center). There was no one present in favor of the annexation. Opposed was Mr. Clinton Harris, Coordinator for the Fayetteville-Cumberland County Citizens Association, Post Office Box 1792, Fayetteville; Residence - 4713 Watauga Road. Mr. Harris stated that knowing the City has requested from the U.S. Justice Department, Civil Rights Division, a delay for sending the City Council approved July 7, 1986 annexation. Also, that the annexations will dilute minority (black) voting strength (at-large and in districts) and that District Number 4 is landlocked, and that members of the City Council are not elected based on the principle of 1-man-1-vote (single-member districts) and that the six single member districts were based on Gerrymandering to obtain the three at large seats and the City was less than candid with the U.S. Justice Department, Civil Rights Division. Mr. Harris stated that he would be making this same objection to each of the proposed annexations, therefore he was presenting a copy of his memo with the objections to the Council and City Clerk for the record in the essence of saving time. (A copy of Clinton Harris' memo of objection is attached to the original minutes.) The City Attorney responded to Mr. Harris' objection about the delay. He stated that we are not trying to delay sending the annexations to the Justice Department but only requested sending several annexations at once due to the amount of paperwork involved in sending just one. Councilmember McBryde introduced the following ordinance and moved to adopt the ordinance annexing Cross Pointe Shopping Centre, seconded by Councilmember Kendrick and carried with a vote of 6-2, Councilmembers Torrey and Ross voting no. AN ORDINANCE TO EXTEND THE CORPORATE LIMITS OF THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA - CROSS POINTE CENTRE. ANNEXATION ORDINANCE NUMBER 86-7-297. C.

Councilmember McBryde introduced the following ordinance and moved to adopt the annexation ordinance for Newcastle, seconded by Councilmember Kendrick and carried 5-3 with Councilmembers Jones, Torrey and Ross voting no. The City Attorney stated this would require a second reading. Mr. Jones stated he voted no because he did not know if the land was developed or undeveloped. Mr. Jones was informed that the information was included in the packet. Mayor Hurley asked Mr. Jones if he would like a revote and Mr. Jones responded in the affirmative. Mayor Hurley then called for a revote. The motion carried 6-2 with Councilmembers Torrey and Ross voting no.

Mr. Mitchell presented this item and stated that the City of Fayetteville was the applicant and they were asking for Tract 1 to be rezoned from C-3 Heavy Commercial to R-5 Residential and that Tract 2 be rezoned from R-5 Residential to C-3 Heavy Commercial in an attempt to straighten the zoning line. Case No. P86-18. Councilmember Ross offered motion to rezone Tract 1 from C-3 Heavy Commercial District to R-5 Residential District and to rezone Tract 2 from R-5 Residential District to C-3 Heavy Commercial District, seconded by Councilmember Dawkins and carried unanimously, 8-0. 4. PWC Matters: Approval of bid award to Autry Grading, Inc., for construction of a portion of Sanitary Sewer Interceptor Line “T” from Raeford road to Cliffdale Road.

Mr. Wood reported that the Glenwood Plant is back on line and capable of handling 8,000,000 gallons of water. He thanked everyone on behalf of PWC on voluntarily cutting back on water usage. We have gone from a crisis to a water shortage. 5. Presentation by Human Services Commission concerning observance of Martin Luther King's birthday. Council recognized Mrs. Karen Darlington, member of the Human Services Commission. She stated they wanted to clarify an article that appeared in the Fayetteville Observer on July 11. It was not the Human Services Director seeking the Martin Luther King Holiday, but rather the Human Services Commission. Also, it intimated that the Commission would be appearing before Council to fight for this holiday, but rather to request that Council adopt the resolution requesting this holiday, the third Monday in January as Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday observance. Mrs. Elesa Brown, the Human Services Commission Chairman appeared before Council and read the resolution. (A copy of this resolution is attached to the original minutes.) Glorious U. Fowler, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Committee Chairman, appeared before Council and gave a report on the observances sponsored in this area. Mr. Richard Griffith, a Human Services Commission member, also appeared before Council requesting approval of the resolution. There were over 100 representatives supporting this resolution present in the audience. Mr. John Godbolt, Commission member, was recognized and asked Council to please join the 12 cities in North Carolina to observe the Martin Luther King, Jr. birthday holiday. Councilmember Torrey offered motion to adopt the resolution presented by the Human Services Commission, seconded by Councilmember Ross. Councilmember Dawkins made note of the fact that no American, black or white, had been awarded a paid holiday for the City. Also, until staff has had a chance to review this resolution and assure us that we can legally adopt it the way it is written, he felt action should be postponed. Councilmember Dawkins offered motion to postpone this matter until August 4 meeting to enable the staff to review the resolution, seconded by Councilmember McBryde. Councilmember Ross was opposed to putting this off because it is something that has been going on for some time. Councilmember Pillow questioned the legality of approving this since it would change the City's Charter. A vote was called on the substitute motion and it carried unanimously 8-0. 6. Consideration of petition from Westwood Subdivision for additional traffic control. Councilmember Kendrick requested that Item 6 be pulled from the agenda and placed on the August 4 meeting agenda due to residents requesting time to discuss this, and he feels that there has not been ample time for a final decision to be made on this matter. Councilmember McBryde offered motion to postpone Item 6 until August 4, seconded by Councilmember Dawkins and carried unanimously 8-0. 7. Consideration of streets proposed for resurfacing - 1986-87 budget. Councilmember McBryde offered motion to refer this item to the Streets, Roads, and Transportation Committee, seconded by Councilmember Jones and carried unanimously. 8. Consideration of a Resolution Relating to the Application to the Local Government Commission for Approval of Bonds to be Used for General Park Improvements, Downtown Linear and Historic Parks Improvements, Multi-purpose Municipal Stadium, Street and Thoroughfare Improvements, Sidewalks, Storm Drainage, and a Fire Station. The City Attorney stated that in order for this bond referendum to be held at the November 4 election, then the adoption of the resolution authorizing application to Local Government Commission would have to be at the July 21 or 28 meeting. Also, September 2 would be the last date to deliver the application package to Local Government Commission. Councilmember Kendrick stated he had received information that this bond referendum was being ramrodded down the throats of the new Councilmembers and he does not feel this is true. Mr. Kendrick further stated that he feels they are all doing their homework on this and all matters. Councilmember Ross referred to the list of categories and amounts to be on the bond referendum and asked what if she did not agree with all of the items listed. Mr. Cogswell responded that Council can amend but not increase or substantially change the purposes of the issue. Councilmember Pillow introduced the amended resolution, seconded by Councilmember Torrey and carried with a 7-1 vote, Councilmember Ross voting no.

NS1986-14. 11. Consideration of an Ordinance ordering the demolition and removal of the structure of 121 East Kennedy Street. Mr. Haire stated that there was a mistake concerning the location. It should be 121 South Kennedy Street instead of East.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF FAYETTEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA, REQUIRING THE CITY BUILDINGS INSPECTOR TO CORRECT CONDITIONS WITH RESPECT TO OR TO DEMOLISH AND REMOVE A STRUCTURE PURSUANT TO THE DWELLINGS AND BUILDINGS MINIMUM STANDARDS CODE OF THE CITY (121 South Kennedy Street) ORDINANCE NO. NS1986-15. Mayor Hurley expressed concern about a particular lot on Robeson Street near Commerce. The owner uses it for unsightly junk, and the Mayor inquired as to what can be done to eliminate this problem. Mr. Cogswell responded that an ordinance to remove the items from this property can be made, but then it will cost the City a large amount of money to have it removed if the owner does not comply. A lien can then be put against the property to get reimbursement, but the money must be paid up front to have this work done and can be very expensive to the City. Mayor Hurley asked staff to check and see if something can't be done to clean this area. 12. Consideration of the revised contract with Pearce's Mill Fire Department. Mr. Stancil presented this item and stated that they had completed the installation of fire hydrants in this area and the Board of Directors of Pearce's Mill Fire Department concur with he and the Chief that it would be in the best interest of the residents of the area and City and Pearce's Volunteer Fire Department for the City to assume the total responsibility for fire service. Mr. Stancil recommended that Council authorize the Mayor to execute the contract to be effective August 1. Councilmember Kendrick offered motion to authorize the Mayor to execute the contract effective August 1 with Pearce's Mill Volunteer Fire Department, seconded by Councilmember Ross and carried unanimously, 8-0. 13. Consideration of an ordinance amending Chapter 28, “Taxicabs,” of the Fayetteville City Code. The City Attorney stated that we are dealing with an area of public safety, and this amendment would make a penalty for a second offense during suspension a mandatory revocation. Councilmember Jones introduced the ordinance and moved its adoption on the first reading, seconded by Councilmember Ross and carried unanimously 8-0. 14. Delegations or individuals wishing to address Council: Ms. Bettie Joe Goodenough requested that the Councilmembers speak into their microphones and speak up because they're having trouble hearing what is being said. 15. Appointments: A. Election of F. Royal Lloyd, Jr., and Jim Breswitz to the Board of Adjustment. Councilmember Johnson stated that Mr. Breswitz did not wish to serve at this time. Therefore, he would like to nominate Mr. William H. Owen, III. Councilmember Dawkins offered motion to elect F. Royal Lloyd, Jr. and William H. Owen, III, seconded by Councilmember Kendrick and carried unanimously. B. Election of Wilma Mazarick to the Parks and Recreation Commission. Councilmember Jones offered motion to elect by acclamation Mrs. William Mazarick, seconded by Councilmember Ross and carried unanimously. C.

Statement from Cumberland County Tax Collector of taxes collected for the month of June, 1986. Mr. Smith submitted the statement from Cumberland County Tax Collector for the month of June, 1986. B. Request for disposal of surplus property of minimal value. Mr. Smith stated that this was a report rather than a request. He is reporting to the Council that the property in the memorandum from Mr. McGugan has been disposed of. C. Status of Prince Charles sales contract. Mr. Smith stated that Council had previously authorized advertisement of this offer to purchase and for the City Manager to negotiate terms of the contract. A memorandum from the City Attorney lists the terms contained within the contract. (A copy of Mr. Cogswell's memorandum of July 16, 1986, is attached to the original minutes). 17. Matters of Interest to Council: Mr. McBryde stated he was concerned with the crime in the downtown area. During the past weekend, there was a break-in at Hay Street Methodist Church and Cato's. Mr. McBryde requested a schedule of the foot patrol in the downtown area from the Police Chief. Mr. Smith responded that this would be an item at the information meeting. Councilmember Jones made mention of the proposed 911 system. Mayor Hurley proposed two meetings for Council. One a goal setting session, and the other a joint Council/PWC meeting. There will be a tour of several facilities after this meeting. Council agreed on September 4 for the PWC/City Council meeting. Mr. Smith stated that the Institute of Government is planning a session for new Councilmembers for a one-day workshop on August 11. No date was set for the goal setting session. Councilmember Dawkins requested that the Streets, Roads, and Transportation Meeting be held after the regular information meeting on July 28. Councilmember Kendrick asked about the procedure for having lots cleared that need to be cleaned up. Mr. Cogswell responded that the owner or person in possession of the property is given written notice, and they have seven days to do something about it. If they don't comply, then another notice is sent, notifying them it will cost them $75.00 plus the City's cost for clearing the lot if they don't do it within the next seven days. Mr. Cogswell stated that a title search must be done and this can take a long time. Councilmember Pillow questioned the overgrowth around stop signs, particularly in the Eccles Park area. Mr. Cogswell also responded that there was an ordinance to take care of this, however, the Engineering Department usually handles these situations. The Mayor asked if Council wished him to continue working on the bond referendum. Council agreed and the Mayor stated he would appoint a committee to work on public awareness and fund raising. The Mayor also made mention of the parking situation of the employees of the library - whether they should park further away from the library in the leased lot and leave the close area for the customers. Councilmember Johnson suggested that they be allowed to park in the Old Dickenson Buick lot. It needs to be used by the library employees. The Mayor stated that the City did not own this lot and would have to lease it for the employees. Mr. Johnson stated that he felt we should do this. Mr. Smith informed Council that the library provides parking for employees and customers and wanted additional lease spaces for the overflow. Mr. Horace Thompson was recognized and stated that most of the employees of the library do park in the library lower lot in the rear of the building. Council instructed staff to contact Mr. Jerry Thrasher, Library Director, to work something out. Mayor Hurley thanked the officer for being present at the meeting. Councilmember Pillow offered motion for Executive Session to discuss a property matter at 9:40 p.m., seconded by Councilmember McBryde, carried unanimously. Council reconvened into regular session at 10:05 p.m., and there being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

Consent: Councilmember Ross wanted the minutes of July 21, 1986 to show that her attempt to make a substitute motion to Councilmember Dawkins' substitute motion was not allowed by the parliamentarian and her attempt would have been germaine to his motion. Therefore, she would like to request that she be allowed to speak at the beginning of Item No. 5. Mayor Hurley granted Mrs. Ross's request. City Attorney Cogswell stated that Item 13 of the July 21 minutes should show a correction to the Taxicab Ordinance changing Section 28-160 in Section 2 to 28-60.

(Suggested public hearing date is August 18, 1986.) I. Approval of a Lease Agreement between the Fayetteville Airport Commission and Powell Avionics. RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE AMENDMENT OF THE LEASE OF CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE PROPERTY (POWELL AVIONICS). RESOLUTION NO. R1986-114. J. Approval of the following Budget Ordinance Amendments: 1. Budget Ordinance Amendment Change 87-2 establishes revenues and expenditure budget for the “Seat Belt Awareness” grant in the Police Department. 2.

Consideration of the paving of Brook Street from end of existing pavement to 23 feet eastwardly. Mr. Bennett presented this item and stated that he has received a petition from the two property owners abutting an unpaved section of Brook Street which is only 23 feet in length. There was no one present for or against. Councilmember Pillow introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption, seconded by Councilmember Jones and carried unanimously, 3 to 0. FINAL RESOLUTION REQUIRING THE PAVING OF BROOK STREET FROM END OF EXISTING PAVEMENT TO 23 FEET EASTWARDLY. RESOLUTION NO. R1986-115. B. Consideration of amendments and revisions to the City of Fayetteville Zoning Ordinance, Chapter 32, governing dish antennas (earth stations) within the City limits. Mr. George Vaughan presented this matter stating that the fourth draft of the proposed dish satellite ordinance was different in that there was no permit fees in the fourth draft except for Board of Adjustment cases if a variance was needed which would be a fee of $100. Secondly, that the satellite dishes were established as a permitted use in the R15 district and permitted through all the residential districts. Mr. Vaughan stated that staff recommended approval of the proposed ordinance amendment revision because the proposed amendments would set forth provisions necessary to regulate satellite dish antennas (earth stations) within the City limits. The City Attorney clarified the variance was not a special use permit. Mr. John Monaghan, Jr., Fayetteville Appearance Commission, appeared in favor of this ordinance. In opposition was Mr. Mac Tyson, 214 Dick Street, representing High Teen Company. He stated this ordinance was discriminating against small dishes and the cost of a $100 fee is too great in comparison with the cost of the dish. The length of time getting this approved was also unreasonable. Also in opposition was Ms. Rae Harris, High Tech Company. She stated that it is not fair to make the customers wait for public hearing and for neighborhood opposition to be aired nor was the $100 fee fair. Mr. Cogswell stated that a building permit could be issued at a cost of $18 up to a $1,500 investment. He stated he could work with the Inspection Department and Planning Department to eliminate any situations involved in processing this through the Building Inspection Department, if this is the procedure they wish to use. Councilmember Evans stated that she feels there are no experts in the Building Inspection Department concerning this matter, and it would be worth $18 to anyone to be able to put the dish in their front yard. Following lengthy discussion, Councilmember McBryde offered motion to end the public hearing and return this to the City Attorney for changes to the ordinance, seconded by Councilmember Jones, and carried 7 to 1 with Councilmember Evans voting no. C. Consideration of amendments and revisions to the City of Fayetteville Code of Ordinances, Chapter 32, “Zoning,” Article III, Section 32-5; Item (21.1) “Nonsolid Fence or Wall”; and Article VI, Section 32-49 “General Yard Regulations,” Item (4) addressing fences and walls regulations within any residential or commercial district. Mr. Vaughan presented Case P86-86 and stated that the Planning staff recommends approval because the proposed amendment would clarify the types, location and height restrictions of fences or walls permitted in residential and commercial districts and that the proposed amendment would set forth a definition of a non-solid fence or wall. There was no one presented for or against this ordinance. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE AMENDING CHAPTER 32, “ZONING,” OF THE FAYETTEVILLE CITY CODE OF ORDINANCES. ORDINANCE NO. S1986-7. Councilmember Evans introduced the foregoing ordinance and moved its adoption, seconded by Councilmember Kendrick and carried 7 to 1 with Councilmember Jones voting no. Councilmember Jones stated that he voted no because he had not been explained the side yard, corner lot information that he requested during discussion. The above ordinance is on file in the Clerk's office in Ordinance Book S1986. D. Consideration of the rezoning from R6 Residential District to P1 Professional District or to a more restrictive zoning classification for am area located on the east side of Ramsey Street (U.S. 401 North), north of Bartow Drive. Mr. Vaughan presented this item and stated that the Planning staff recommends denial or the requested rezoning because the Land Use Plan calls for residential development at this location and that approval of requested rezoning would promote strict commercial development along Ramsey Street. Mr. Ted Kinney appeared in favor of the denial stating that he is an area resident and property owner and does not want it changed from residential. Mr. Jim Mohler representing the property owner requesting the rezoning stated that they were opposed to the denial of the rezoning because this is a highly-traveled area on the corner of Ramsey Street and the surrounding houses are being used for other than residential, such as a church office and two day-care centers. Mr. Robert Tart, 118 Bartow Drive, appeared in favor of the rezoning, stating that he owns most of one side or the street in that block including one of the day-care centers. Councilmember Evans offered motion to follow the recommendation of staff to deny the rezoning from R2 Residential to P1 Professional an area located on the east side of Ramsey Street, north of Bartow Drive, seconded by Councilmember Kendrick and carried 5 to 3, Councilmembers McBryde, Jones and Johnson Voting no. E. Consideration of an amendment to the city of Fayetteville Code of Ordinances, Chapter 32. “Zoning,” Article XI, Section 32-73(f) addressing withdrawal procedures of rezoning applications. Mr. Vaughan presented this matter and stated that Planning staff recommends approval or the proposed ordinance amendment because it will eliminate some of the confusion of the general public notified of rezoning cases as to what is the process and it will also eliminate “speculative” and/or “controversial” rezoning applications from being considered more than one time within a 12-month period. There was no one present for or against. Following brief discussion, Councilmember Kendrick offered motion to adopt the ordinance amending Chapter 32, “Zoning,” Article 11, Section 32-73(f) addressing withdrawal procedures of rezoning applications, seconded by Councilmember Ross and carried 5 to 3 with Councilmembers McBryde, Johnson and Jones voting no. This will constitute a first reading. 3. Public Works Commission Matters: Mr. Tim wood presented this item and stated that these were the low evaluated bids. A. Approval of bid awards for purchase of various sizes of overhead and padmount transformers to the low bidders. Hesco, Inc. 3 333 KVA, 10 overhead, 13.2kV-277 Volts $ 9,801.00 4 333 KVA, 10 Overhead, 13.2kV-120/240 Volts 13,764.00 100 50 KVA, 10 Padmount, 12.47/7.2 Volts 101,000.00 1 150 KVA, 30 Padmount, 12.47/7.2 Volts 3,590.00 3 167 KVA. 10 Padmount, 12.47/7.2 Volts 6,288.00 Mill-Power Supply Company: 25 50 KVA, 10 Padmount, (24.9/14.4v) $ 30,600.00 1 300 KVA, 30 Padmount, 24.9/14.4 Volts 5,577.00 4 15 KVA, 10 Overhead, 12.47/7/2 Volts 1,488.00 Wesco-Favetteville: 30 75 KVA, 10 Padmount, 12.47/7.2 Volts $ 43,320.00 Central Maloney: 20 100 KVA, 10 Padmoumt, 12.47/7/2 Volts $ 29,560.00 Eastern Electric Supply Co.: 1 1500 KVA, 30 Overhead, 24.9/14.4 x 12.47/7.2 $ 14,702.00 Approval of bid award to Eastern Electric Supply Company, the low bidder, for the purchase of 20,900 pounds Code “Fayetteville” Bare Aluminum Conductor in the amount of $19,228.00. Councilmember Evans offered motion to approve A and B as recommended, seconded by Councilmember Johnson and carried unanimously 8 to 0. 4. Planning Board Matters: Consideration of the rezoning from R5 Residential District to M2 Industrial District or to a more restrictive zoning classification for an area located at 415, 417, and 419 Bevil Street. Mr. Vaughan presented this item and stated that the Planning staff recommends denial or. the requested rezoning from R5 to M2 and approval or C1 Local Business District based on the following: 1. That the Land Use Plan calls for commercial development at this location and that the C1 Local Business District is an appropriate zoning district designation for commercial uses. 2. That the C1 Local Business District is a logical extension of the C1 Local Business District which adjoins three sides or the subject property. 3. That approval of M2 Industrial District would constitute spot zoning in that it would grant special development privileges to this property not enjoyed by other properties with similar locations and characteristics. Councilmember Kendrick offered motion to follow the recommendation to rezone to C1 Local Business District instead or M2 Industrial District, seconded by Councilmember McBryde and carried unanimously 8 to 0. At this time Mayor Hurley recognized Dr. G. Wesley Allen and his wife, Sylvia, present in the audience, Dr. Allen is the newly elected member or the Airport Commission. 5. Consideration of a ordinance amending Chapter 22-39A “Holidays” of the City of Fayetteville. Mr. Smith presented this item and stated that an attempt to formulate a recommendation, he has reviewed a number of factors and alternatives: 1. Fayetteville is low among major cities in the number of paid holidays. 2. Floating holidays would be difficult to administer in many of the larger departments, especially Sanitation and Transit. 3. Cost is not a significant factor although holidays do often cause some additional overtime and stand-by pay, depending upon circumstances. 4. Some employees may oppose losing an existing holiday in favor of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday. 5. The City does not currently honor any specific American hero such as Washington or Lincoln with a holiday (Washington's Birthday is a national holiday). Based upon these factors, Mr. Smith made the following recommendations for Council's consideration: 1. That the City honor the hero of the American Revolution and First President or the United States by observing George Washington's birthday on the third Monday in February as a holiday for City employees. 2. That the City honor the memory of Martin Luther King, Jr. by observing the third Monday in January as a holiday for City employees. 3. That the City delete one holiday from the current list of holidays, specifically Easter Monday, bringing the number of annual holidays to nine for City employees. (Other options include Veterans' Day, Memorial Day and Labor Day.) The other available options include: 1. Leaving the schedule as is. 2. Adding Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday. 3. Adding Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday and George Washington's Birthday for ten holidays. 4. Adding Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday and George Washington's Birthday and deleting two others. Mr. Smith further stated that with regard to the resolution adopted by the Human Services Commission, he does not recommend that the City take any action attempting to influence decision of the State of North Carolina as to its holiday schedule. The state holiday schedule has little, if any, impact on City government. (A copy of Mr. Smith's memorandum of July 31, 1986 and the breakdown or holidays of cities in North Carolina are attached to the original minutes.) Councilmember Ross asked to have those in the auditorium that are in support of the two additional holidays to please rise for recognition. Councilmember Ross offered motion to adopt the ordinance adding Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday and George Washington's birthday for ten holidays, deleting the removal of Easter Monday, seconded by Councilmember Jones. Councilmember Johnson offered a substitute motion to accept George Washington and Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday, adding only one holiday and delete Veterans' Day. There was no second to the motion, returning to the main notion. Mayor Hurley called for a vote on the original motion and it carried 7 to 1, Councilmember McBryde voting no. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SEC. 22-39(a) “HOLIDAYS” OF CITY CODE OF CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE (GEORGE WASHINGTON AND MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.) S1986-8. The ordinance is on file in the Clerk's office in Ordinance Book S1986. Councilmembers Johnson and McBryde were in favor of relinquishing only one holiday. 6. Consideration of petition from Westwood Subdivision for additional traffic control. Mr. Bennett presented this item and stated that in response to a petition by the area residents of the Westwood Subdivision, the Engineering Department has conducted a study or traffic operations in the Westwood Subdivision. He stated that the petition specifically asks for all approaches to all intersections be ordinanced as stop locations. Mr. Bennett further stated that they did not find a particular problem in this neighborhood; however, he recommends the establishment of one four-way stop intersection at Rushmore Drive and Palomar Street. Hopefully this will discourage the cut-through traffic. Mr. Smith stated that he had received a letter from Mr. Larry McGlothlin, President of the Westwood Watch Association, stating that the association had met with the City Manager and the City Engineer recently and voted unanimously to request City Council modify the proposal offered and recommended that the intersections of Palomar and Rushmore Drive and Whitney and Rushmore Drive be made four-way stops on a 90-day trial period. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 20, MOTOR VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC OF THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE CODE OF ORDINANCES (TRAFFIC SCHEDULE NO. 6 - “STOP INTERSECTION.”) ORDINANCE NO. NS1986-16. Councilmember McBryde introduced the foregoing ordinance and moved to adopt the four-way stop signs at the intersections of Rushmore and Palomar and Whitney and Rushmore Streets on a 90-day trail basis, seconded by Councilmember Jones and carried unanimously 8 to 0. 7. Consideration of the following Prince Charles Hotel matters: A. Sale Agreement on the Prince Charles Hotel and adjoining property. Mr. Cogswell stated that the sale of the Prince Charles site and Amtrak Railroad Station have been advertised and no other offers had been made. At this time the City and Amtrak had a gentlemen's agreement on the moving of the Station and building a new one. Therefore, Mr. Cogswell suggests that on the contract with Amherst, Page 9, Paragraph 3, add language that the moving of the Amtrack Station and the building of a new station would be consistent with Amtrack. Also the same type of language should be added to the resolution, and with those changes, Mr. Cogswell recommended adoption. He further stated that Mr. Nagel would need to get approval of the Secretary of Interior before the building can be moved. Mr. Smith stated that in terms of dollars the City would come out better in building a new station than trying to renovate the old one. He further stated that Mr. Nagel would also have to get approval from the Secretary of Interior on any renovations done to the building. RESOLUTION APPROVING SALE OF THE PRINCE CHARLES HOTEL SITE AND THE AMTRACK RAILROAD STATION TO AMHERST DEVELOPMENT COMPANY. R1986-116. Councilmember Evans introduced the foregoing resolution and moved its adoption with the changes recommended by the City Attorney, seconded by Councilmember Ross and carried unanimously, 8 to 0. B. Resolution requesting bond allocation from the State for the Prince Charles Hotel. Mr. Smith stated that each calendar year, the City has to reapply for the allocation. Councilmember Evans questioned the wording on Item 5 in the resolution stating that the revenue bonds shall be special obligations of the City and neither the credit nor the taxing power of the City shall be pledged for the payment of the principle of or interest on the bonds. Mrs. Evans was concerned about the use of the words, “Special Obligations.” Mr. Smith explained that the special obligation as opposed to general obligation meant that the City would not have to have taxes raised for the project. General obligation would create an increase in taxes. RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILlE, NORTH CAROLINA APPROVING THE APPLICATION FOR ALLOCATION FOR PRIVATE ACTIVITY BONDS AND GIVING PRELIMINARY APPROVAL TO A FINANCING PLAN FOR THE RENOVATION AND NEW CONSTRUCTION OF THE COMPREHENSIVE DOWNTOWN FAYETTEVILLE RESTORATION PROJECT IN THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT REDEVELOPMENT AREA; AND TAKING OTHER PRELIMINARY ACTIONS. RESOLUTION R1986-117. Councilmember Pillow introduced the foregoing resolution and moved its adoption, seconded by Councilmember Kendrick and carried unanimously, 8 to 0. 8. Consideration of Resolution authorizing employment of Bond counsel. Mr. Cogswell stated that after adoption of the resolution on July 21, 1986, the Local Government Commission and bond counsel have made certain recommendations for changes in the wording and amounts contained in this resolution. The Commission stated that since they would ultimately be the ones selling these bonds and they only sell them in increments of $5,000.00, Mr. Cogswell stated that there were two amounts in the previous resolution that were not the $5,000.00 figure. They also found a couple of phrases that should be changed. In paragraph 2D of the previous resolution, one amount was for $10,656,000 and should read $10,660,000 having to do with thoroughfare street system, and paragraph E dealing with sidewalks shows $1,084,000, and this should be $1,085,000. Other than that, the language authorizing the City Manager to employ the bond counsel has been deleted because we found out that the counsel and the Local Government Commission has to approve it. Mr. Cogswell recommends that it would be easier to rescind the previous resolution of R1986-111 and adopt the new resolution. RESOLUTION RELATING TO THE APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF THE ISSUANCE OF PARK BONDS, LINEAR AND HISTORIC PARK BONDS, MUNICIPAL STADIUM BONDS, STREET AND THOROUGHFARE BONDS, SIDEWALK BONDS, STORM DRAINAGE BONDS, AND FIRE STATION BONDS. R1986-118. Councilmember McBryde moved to adopt the foregoing resolution rescinding Resolution No. R1986-111, seconded by Councilmember Pillow and carried unanimously 8 to 0. Mr. Cogswell stated that in order to keep on the schedule to make application to Local Government Council, a resolution of publication or intent must be adopted. RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR PUBLICATION OF NOTICES OF INTENT TO FILE APPLICATIONS WITH RESPECT TO AGGREGATE OF $28,950,000. GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS WITH THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION. RESOLUTION NO. R1986-119. Councilmember McBryde introduced the foregoing resolution and moved its adoption, seconded by Councilmember Johnson and carried unanimously, 8 to 0. At this time, Mr. Cogswell referred to the resolution appointing Hunton and Williams as bond counsel. On page 11, the bond counsel fees will be $1,000 per question, whether or not they pass. After that, the City pays as the bonds are issued. Councilmember Evans inquired that if all bond issues are passed, what would be the cost to the City for that. Ms. Sally Gilmore, attorney with Hunton and Williams responded that an educated guess would be close to $30,000 plus out-of-pocket expenses if all bonds were issued at once. Mr. Smith stated that on the issuance of the bonds, they will be issued over a period up to seven years and we pay as they are issued. RESOLUTION APPOINTING HUNTON AND WILLIAMS AS BOND COUNSEL FOR ISSUES BEING CONSIDERED FOR REFERENDUM IN 1986. RESOLUTION NO. R1986-120. Councilmember McBryde introduced the foregoing resolution to employ Humton and Williams as Bond Counsel and moved the adoption, seconded by Councilmember Pillow and carried unanimously, 8 to 0. 9.

Councilmember Evans offered motion to approve the resurfacing list proposed for the Year 1986-87, seconded by Councilmember McBryde and carried unanimously, 8 to 0. 10.

ORDINANCE NO. NS1986-17. 13. Consideration of a report from the Policy Committee on the following: Councilmember McBryde, Chairman of the Policy Committee reported that on the item of election of Mayor pro tem, because a policy adopted by this Council would not be binding on the next Council, the Committee took no action. A. Parliamentary Procedure Ordinance Councilmember Jones stated that due to lost mail and late deliveries or emergencies, he is not happy with Section (e) referring to delegates. Councilmember Johnson stated that he is against changing it. Councilmember Pillow stated he felt those issues to be brought up under delegations should be advertised with the agenda so anyone wishing to appear on the same item may do so. Councilmember Evans concurred. Councilmember McBryde responded that these types of problems and emergencies were taken care of in that a two-thirds vote of Council could overrule any of these procedures. Councilmember Evans offered motion to adopt the ordinance amending Section 2-23 and Section 32-73(c) of the City Code, seconded by Councilmember Kendrick. The City Attorney made reference to revised ordinances that were sent to Council prior to the meeting due to the fact that Section 32-73 must go before the Planning Department before Council approval. Councilmember Evans rescinded her motion and then offered motion to adopt the ordinance amending Section 2-23 and forwarding Section 32-73 to the Planning Board, seconded by Councilmember Kendrick. Following further debate, Councilmember Kendrick called for the question. Mayor Hurley asked for a vote on ceasing debate. The motion carried 6 to 2 with Councilmembers Jones and Johnson voting no. Mayor Hurley then asked for a vote on the main motion and it carried with a vote of 6 to 2 with Councilmembers Jones and Johnson voting no.

Also that the fan on the air conditioner be run continuously during the meeting. Following some discussion Councilmember McBryde offered motion to accept the Committee's recommendation, seconded by Councilmember Evans and carried 7 to 1 with Councilmember Ross voting no. D. Membership on Boards and Commissions Mr. McBryde reported that the Committee recommends individuals be allowed to serve on one board at a time and they be required to attend over 50 percent of the regularly scheduled meetings or relinquish their seat. They suggested that if a member is serving on more than one committee and a term expires, they will need to decide which committee they would like to serve on. Following some discussion, Councilmember Johnson offered notion to accept the Committee's suggestions seconded by Councilmember McBryde and carried unanimously, 8 to 0. 14. Consideration of the following Airport matters was presented by Mr. Tom Ray. Councilmember McBryde offered motion to accept the low bidders for Items A and B. A.

Councilmember Evans introduced the foregoing ordinance for a lien, and moved its adoption at 9:46 p.m, seconded by Councilmember Kendrick and carried unanimously, 8 to 0. 17. Delegations or individuals wishing to address Council. Saundra Turner, 822 Welbon Street, Savoy Heights, appeared before Council requesting that some consideration be given to having PWC adopt a 12-month installment plan similar to what is used by CP&L and the gas company. Ms. Turner stated that she talked with Mr. Tom McCoy on the PWC Board, and his suggestion was to use the bank withdrawal plan. Ms. Turner stated this was not feasible for the ones that could not afford bank accounts. Mr. Smith responded that he had discussed this with Mr. Tim Wood after receiving Ms. Turner's letter. Mr. Wood said that this matter was placed on the PWC agenda and the Commission had asked their staff to study this and bring a plan back. Mr. Smith will follow-up on this for Council. Mr. John Malzone, 502 Bloomfield, Chairman of the Federal Arsenal Task Force, appeared before Council and stated they had been trying to put an end to a problem of the fight between those who want to save the Arsenal and stop the CBD Loop and those who want to have the CBD Loop completed. He said that following their investigation, they feel that the CBD Loop needs to be built. Mr. Malzone is requesting Council's blessing to begin contacting NCDOT and they further want to raise funds to restore the Federal Arsenal and create a living history museum. This can be accomplished by putting up vertical walls with a cap across it and then putting the dirt back on top and restoring the field. Councilmember McBryde offered motion to contact NCDOT to have two vertical walls installed instead of one, seconded by Councilmember Kendrick. Following some discussion and Mr. Bennett's response that any request that would add to the construction cost would be a hinderance at this time. Councilmember McBryde withdrew his motion and Council took no action. 18. Appointments: A. Election of Robert E. Lee to the Senior Citizens Advisory Commission. Councilmember Pillow offered motion to elect Robert E. Lee to the Senior Citizens Advisory Commission to fill the unexpired term of M. T.

Statement of tax settlement from the Cumberland County Tax Collector - Mr. Smith presented the settlement of current taxes from the Cumberland County Tax Collector to cover a period from July 1, 1985 through June 30, 1986. 20. Matters of Interest to Council: Councilmember Johnson asked Council's endorsement of a resolution requesting the extension across Cliffdale Road, for a five-lane road to tie into Glensford Drive be put on the Thoroughfare Plan of NCDOT. Following lengthy discussion, Councilmember Johnson offered motion to have staff investigate this area, seconded by Councilmember Jones. After further discussion, Councilmember McBryde called the question and the vote was unanimous to cease debate. Mayor Hurley called for a Vote on the original motion, and it carried unanimously, 8 to 0. Mayor Hurley thanked the Police Officer for being at the meeting. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 10:15 p.m. July 31, 1986 MEMORANDUM TO: The Mayor and Members of City Council FROM: John P. Smith, City Managers SUBJECT: Martin Luther King, Jr. Proposed Holiday The current City holiday schedule which was last revised in 1978 is as follows: New Years Day Easter Monday Memorial Day July 4th Labor Day Veterans Day Thanksgiving Day Christmas Day The attached sheet shows a breakdown of cities in North Carolina over 25,000 population. The average number of paid holidays is nine and a half. Only Fayetteville and Wilson have fewer than nine. Eight of these seventeen cities including the five largest have adopted Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday as a City holiday, and six other including Fayetteville have a proposal under consideration. Six out of the nine cities over 50,000 population have adopted Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday. Determining the cost of a holiday is difficult to do. In the Police and Fire Departments, holidays are simply treated like vacation days, and each employee schedule his or her holidays. Sanitation services are generally shut down on holidays, although some are rescheduled for the entire department to even out the route schedules for the fiscal year. The Transit Department operates on Veterans Day, and employees are paid. All other operations are closed so cost is loss of production this and not in actual payroll dollars. In attempting to formulate a recommendation, I have reviewed a number of factors and alternatives. REGULAR MEETING MONDAY, AUGUST 18, 1986 REGULAR MEETING CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBER MONDAY, AUGUST 18, 1986 7:00 P.M. Present: Mayor Bill Hurley Councilmembers J. L. Dawkins, Milo McBryde, Mildred Evans, Jimmie Jones, Ida Ross, Mark Kendrick and Thelbert Torrey Absent: Councilmembers Joseph Pillow and Samuel Johnson Also Present: John P. Smith, City Manager Roger L. Stancil, Assistant City Manager Beryl Wade, Assistant City Attorney/Police Legal Advisor Mayor Hurley called the meeting to order and the invocation was given by Reverend John Godbolt, Westminster Church. Following the invocation, the Pledge of Allegiance was lead by Scout Adriene Black of the 957 Scout Troup. Youth Councilmembers Carol Hudspeth and Elizabeth Crowell were recognized. Mayor Hurley stated that an Executive Session had been requested for litigation. Mayor Hurley stated that he would be leaving tonight's meeting to appear before the County Commissioner's meeting and read the statement that he will be presenting. He further stated that he would bring back the County Commissioner's decision or remarks to this meeting. The statement reads as follows: For a long time I, along with many others in this community, have wanted to see a professional baseball team here. I will support a City bond issue for this purpose if it is the only way it can be done. However, in the rush to include this issue with this upcoming bond referendum we may have overlooked other alternatives; and that is what brings me here, to ask for your help in exploring alternatives together. I come before you to ask that the County and the City agree to study the feasibility of a joint County/City project to bring professional baseball to our urban area. I am not asking for any commitment of funds or any commitment to participate in a project, nor am I suggesting any specific funding formulas or method of financing. I have come to the conclusion that this project has a much greater chance of success if we work together. Professional baseball will come to our area if there is a place to play. Such a facility could also be used for other community events, for the benefits of city and non-city residents. I am specifically asking you and the City Council to establish a study team consisting of the City and County Managers, the City and County Recreation Directors and the two chairmen of the Recreation Advisory Commissions to develop a proposal for a joint stadium project including: 1. Cost estimates 2. Methods of financing 3. Location 4. Management This study group would report back to the two governing bodies on their findings and recommendations. If this study group can be established, it would not be appropriate to be asking the citizens of Fayetteville to consider a bond issue while this study is underway. For this reason, I will recommend to the City Council that we remove the stadium issue from the November bond ballot to give us more time to pursue alternatives and to develop more specific plans. 1. Consent: Councilmember Kendrick offered motion, seconded by Councilmember Dawkins and carried unanimously to approve Consent Items IA through G. A. Approval of minutes of regular meeting of August 4, 1986. B. Approval of the following budget items: 1. Budget Ordinance Amendment Change 87-3 rebudgets outstanding encumbrances (purchase orders and contracts) outstanding on June 30, 1986. 2. Capital Project Ordinance 87-882 establishes the budget in Project Ordinance form for resurfacing of streets for 1986-87 funded from Powell Bill 3. Capital Project Ordinance Amendments 87-8495 Amends Project Ordinance 85-1 for Rental Rehab Grant in Community Development. C. Set Public Hearing for September 2, 1986, to consider possible issuance of redevelopment bonds by the City of Fayetteville not to exceed $10,000,000 for the Prince Charles Hotel Project. D. Award of contract for purchase of roll out carts to Applied Products, Inc., lowest responsible bidder. E. Award of weapon and badge to Major William T. Brisson upon retirement from the Fayetteville Police Department, in accordance with City Policy. F. Adoption of Resolution of Appreciation to New Hanover County Airport. (A copy of the Resolution is attached to these minutes.) G. Approval of bid award to Ditch Witch of N.C., Inc., low bidder, for purchase of Trenching Machine and Trailer, for P.W.C. 2. Public Hearings: A. Consideration of closing Stella Street from the western line of the Carolina Telephone and Telegraph Company westerly for a distance of 80.15 feet (the northwest corner of the Marsh property). Mr. Bennett presented this matter and stated that Stella Street is a dead end street. Carolina Telephone and Telegraph owns all of the property abutting this portion of Stella Street. Closing this portion would only shorten the street and Mr. Bennett stated he sees no use of this street as a public street. Martha Mayo, representing Carolina Telephone and Telegraph from the Tarboro office appeared in favor of this street closing. Councilmember McBryde introduced the resolution and order closing a portion of Stella Street, seconded by Councilmember Evans and carried unanimously 7 to 0. RESOLUTION AND ORDER CLOSING A PORTION OF STELLA STREET. RESOLUTION NO. R1986-126. B. Consideration of application to Urban Mass Transportation Administration for Section 5 Capital Assistance Grant. Mr. Stancil presented this item and stated that this public hearing is to receive public comment on the City's proposed application for capital assistance from Section 5 funding. He further stated that this would be brought back at a later date with a recommended source of funding for the local match. There was no one to appear for or against the proposed application. Council took no action. C. Consideration of an ordinance to extend the corporate limits of the City of Fayetteville, North Carolina, (pursuant to G.S. 160A-31, as amended) - (Lake Creek Farm - formerly known as Scots Croft - to be developed as King's Grant) (Located off of U.S. 401 North - west side). Mr. Stancil presented this item and stated that it is currently undeveloped. It is a petition annexation and the effective date would be August 31, 1986. Mr. Vaughan, Planning Director, stated that they discovered a mistake that was made when it was initially zoned in 1971, which extended R10 into the area. He stated that they wanted to advertise the entire tract for PND to save several Council, property owners, and future petitioners several months delay by having to readvertise. Councilmember Jones was concerned with the buildings being built too close together possibly affecting the fire rating. Mr. Vaughan responded that they would have to go through the Building Inspector's office, which should eliminate any problem with the fire rating. Mr. Torrey questioned the cost to the City for this annexation in the form of services. Mr. Stancil responded that the only cost to the City would be roll-out carts for the proposed 45 units to be built in the next fiscal year since this is undeveloped property. Mr. Torrey further stated that he felt that there were other areas that needed to be annexed before these areas. Mr. Stancil responded that these have been petitioned annexations. Staff is in the process of putting together a comprehensive annexation plan. Councilmember Ross questioned what happened to the past petitions for annexation that were not brought to Council. She also wants to have a chart showing the annexation proposals. Mr. Smith responded that the information is in the packets but not in chart form. Mr. Douglas Barfield, Attorney representing Lake Creek Farm, Inc., was recognized in favor of the annexation. He stated that they have a good plan for this area and the tax base will far surpass the cost to the City. Also appearing in favor was Mr. Dale Crawford, representing the petitioner. He stated that they would be building quality homes and they do not anticipate zero lot lines. Appearing in opposition to the annexation was Mr. Clinton Harris. He made reference to his letter of July 21, 1986, as containing his objections. Councilmember McBryde offered motion, seconded by Councilmember Evans to adopt the annexation ordinance. The vote was 4 to 3 in favor with Councilmembers Dawkins, McBryde, Kendrick and Evans voting for and Councilmembers Jones, Ross and Torrey voting against. This constitutes a first reading. Councilmember Ross stated that she wanted to make a motion to delay sending any submissions to the U.S. Justice Department for approval until Council has a chance to review the requested chart of future annexations. Councilmember McBryde responded that if Council annexes an area, then they are required by law to send them to the Justice Department. Councilmember Ross stated that the City Attorney had been holding them back. Mr. Smith responded that the City Attorney had requested to have the Justice Department consider all of the annexations as one package. Therefore, the Justice Department granted approval to send all of the annexations as a package rather than sending them one at a time. Mayor Pro-Tem ruled that due to Mr. Cogswell's absence at tonight's meeting, Mrs. Ross's request be held until more information is received from staff and then it can be put on the agenda if the majority of the Council voted for this. Mr. Smith stated that staff would be submitting a chart showing all of the annexation petitions. Mrs. Ross was in agreement with this decision. D. Consideration of establishment of an Historic District Commission. Mrs. Stuart Kerr, Chairman of the Fayetteville Historic District Committee, appeared in favor. She stated that this committee had been working for over a year and a half and they recommend combining the Historic Properties with the Historic District and establishing a Historic Resources Commission. Also appearing in favor were committee members Reginald Barton, Jr., Ron Wilson, and W. E. Murphy. Walter Vick, Architect and downtown property owner, also appeared in favor stating that he feels this commission would help with the protection of investments by property owners in the downtown area. Gary Mendolson, also a downtown property owner, appeared in favor of the establishment of the commission. Councilmember Evans expressed thanks for the many hours that were put into the months of work by the dedicated citizens. Councilmember Kendrick introduced the ordinance to establish the Historic Resource Commission, seconded by Councilmember Jones and carried 7 to 0.

Consideration of rescinding Ordinance No. N.S. 1986-18 ordering demolition of property located at 1108 Clark Street. Mr. Smith stated that to rescind the demolition ordinance without conditions would mean that the Inspection Department would have to go through the long process again if the building was not brought up to standards. Councilmember Evans offered motion to rescind the demolition ordinance for the property located at 1108 Clark Street; Apartments 1, 2, 3 and 5 (Ordinance No. NS1986-18) with conditions of 14 days for the building permit to be issued and 90 days for at least 60% of improvements, seconded by Councilmember Kendrick and carried unanimously 7 to 0.

Consideration of cancellation of Transit Operating Contract with American Transit Corporation Mr. Smith stated that this had been brought up previously and the contract was last renewed on January 1, 1986. Therefore, he is recommending that the termination date of the contract be effective January 10, 1987. Such termination requires 120-day notice. Councilmember McBryde offered motion to instruct staff to cancel the contract with ATC for the services of the resident manager, seconded by Councilmember Jones and carried unanimously, 7 to 0. 7.

Councilmember Jones offered substitute motion to strike from line 5 the words, “but not limited to,” seconded by Councilmember Ross. Mr. McBride and Mr. Smith both responded that Local Government staff had made the comment that Council be very careful in the wording so as not to overly limit themselves in terms of the wording.

The roadway is long overdue for widening and is on the thoroughfare plan as a minor thoroughfare. Mr. Smith had presented a traffic count to Council made by the Police Department. There was lengthy discussion and suggestions for Cain Road improvements. C. Report on Glensford Avenue Extension. Mr. Bennett had submitted a written report and recommendation to Council, and the recommendation was, “that Council refer the traffic problem in the area of the malls, including Glensford Drive Extensions, to the Transportation Technical Coordinating Committee and the Cumberland County Joint Planning Board. The recommendations from these agencies will then, in turn, be forwarded to the Transportation Advisory Committee and the Fayetteville City Council. The North Carolina Department of Transportation is represented on the Technical Committee and the TAC will take official action on recommendations from these groups. It is important that this study be finalized prior to the development along this corridor so that the right-of-way for the proposed thoroughfare can be reserved. This is the standard procedure for designating thoroughfares.” Mr. Dave Fulkerson, a resident on Glensford Drive, was recognized and stated that he lives in the County and doesn't understand why this is a problem for the City at this time.

Mr. Smith responded that a map would be furnished showing these areas, and Mr. Cogswell will be sending all of the annexations to the Justice Department as soon as this last one is acted upon.

The only attendant lot remaining would be the Donaldson Street lot and this lot would also be two-hour free parking with a charge of $.50 per hour after that. The attendant in this lot provides security for the cars parked there. With these changes, two-hour free parking would become the standard downtown.

He stated that the petitioners had been the owners for 40 years and that the Planning Board has not looked in this area in the last ten years.

The following appeared in opposition: Mr. R. B. Stone, 115 Old Gate Road, stated that this area had a hodgepodge appearance of activity that will distract from the neighborhood being a peaceful, calm place to live. Mr. Phil Bolin, 203 Wintergreen Drive, stated that he was the closest resident to the area. Any change in zoning west would allow developers an opening to change the neighborhood. Mr. Charlie Astrike, 5407 Tarheel Drive, stated that they have a good Land-Use Policy Plan and there should be no changes. Mr. Mitchell stated that there was a valid protest petition submitted to the City Clerk on this matter. Following discussion, Councilmember Evans offered motion to deny the rezoning, seconded by Councilmember Johnson and carried 8 to 1 with Councilmember Ross voting no. B. Consideration of the construction of a storm drainage system in the Greens Subdivision. Mr. Bennett showed slides of the general conditions of the ditch and stated that all property owners had been notified of the public hearing. The only complete solution to this problem is for the City to approve a drainage construction project for an underground pipeline with several inlets to pick up water from adjoining properties. Each property owner would be assessed one-fourth of the cost, Mr. Bennett stated. Mayor Hurley requested Mr. Bennett to explain how the assessment works. Mr. Bennett responded that the City policy is that after work is completed, another public hearing is held and assessments made on the linear foot basis. The estimated rate would be $19.00 per linear foot. Property owners on each side would receive a bill 30 to 45 days after Council approves the assessment. They pay 30 days thereafter without interest or over a 5-year installment period at 8 percent interest. Appearing in favor of this item was Mr. Dohn Broadwell, 110 Lamb Street, developer of the Greens Subdivision. He stated that the ditch was not dug in a natural drainage way. The ditch is approximately 2 feet higher in elevation than unnatural low. Mr. Broadwell ended by offering advice concerning installation of the pipe in that they had trouble with the gases causing the sanitation sewer line to come apart when touched and there would be trouble with the new pipe installation. Appearing in opposition was Mr. Gerald Beaver, Attorney. He filed a written document with the Clerk upon arrival at tonight's meeting. He stated that property owner Mrs. Guthrie called the City Engineer's office to make a complaint about the ditch sometime ago and was informed that this was not a problem of the City but between her and the subdivider, Mr. Beaver stated. Mrs. Guthrie has three lots and is faced with approximately $6,000.00 in assessments in a problem she complained about and asked the City to help. Mr. Beaver further stated that a preliminary sketch of the proposed subdivision must be approved by the different departments including the Engineering Department, as to storm drainage and sewer layouts. There is recorded in the Register of Deeds office that the Engineering Department certified on April 25 all storm drains installed by subdivider were approved by the Engineering Department. Mr. Beaver went on to say that this area was included in the Bond Referendum for sewage improvements and therefore this matter should be deleted until after the Bond Referendum vote. He further stated that the people he represents will take steps to remedy the situation concerning the improper pipe being installed, if necessary. Mr. Beaver represents the following land owners: Mr. and Mrs. Dallas Brisson, Mr. and Mrs. Manley Taris, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Guthrie, Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Anderson, Dr. and Mrs. Jay Kosterman, Ethelene Rankin, Mr. and Mrs. Otis Russ, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Phillips, and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hamilton. There were approximately 10 area residents present in opposition to the assessments. Mrs. Guthrie spoke against the item and stated that she is a widow, living there 30 years and was in the country when they first moved there. She stated that she cannot afford, nor can the young people there afford to have all of this work done and be assessed. Mrs. Taris was opposed to the estimated $2,000.00 cost to her family but felt something should be done due to the danger to her small child and the water flooding up to her home. Councilmember Evans asked if this is one of the projects on the Bond Referendum. Mr. Bennett responded that this is cited as a problem due to complaints and they can take the money to have this improvement done, but they cannot continue taking if the Bond Referendum does not pass. There was some discussion. Councilmember Evans offered motion to continue this matter until the November 17 regular meeting, after the results of the Bond Referendum, seconded by Councilmember Dawkins. Following lengthy discussion, Councilmember Kendrick called for the question. Mayor Hurley asked for a vote to cease debate and it was a two-thirds vote. Mayor Hurley asked for a vote on the motion and it was unanimous. C. An amendment to the City of Fayetteville Zoning Ordinance, Article XI, Chapter 32, Section 32-73, Item (c) addressing the scheduling and consideration of non-public hearing rezoning cases that have not been appealed. (Fayetteville Ordinance) (Case No. P86-131). Mr. Al Mitchell presented this item and stated that the Planning Board recommends approval as written. There was no one present for or against this public hearing. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 32-73(c) OF THE CITY CODE OF THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE. ORDINANCE NO. S1986-13. Councilmember McBryde introduced the foregoing Ordinance and moved its adoption, seconded by Councilmember Kendrick and carried 8 to 1 with Councilmember Jones voting no. A copy of the foregoing ordinance is on file in Clerk's office in Ordinance Book S1986. D. The rezoning from P2 Professional District and M2 Industrial District to C(1)P Shopping Center District or to a more restrictive zoning classification for an area located on the south side of Morganton Road, west of Skibo Road. (U.S. 401 Bypass) (Fayetteville Ordinance) (Case No. P86-133). This item was presented by Al Mitchell. He stated that a valid protest petition had been received by the City Clerk and this will require a three-fourths vote to make a change. Appearing in favor was Mr. Dan Gore, 6840 Upingham Road, representing the petitioner. He stated the only reason for the rezoning is because the sign area is Limited to 10 square feet in the P2 zoning. Mr. Charles Hester, 338 Collingwood Drive, owner of Market Place Creative School, also appeared in favor stating that he wants a signage change also. Mr. Foster stated that he feels a small sign would create a hazard to the drivers. Marie Pressler, 115 Hearthstone Drive, was recognized and stated that she recommended either to give Mr. Gore a sign variance or to give a postponement until the home owners could have a meeting with Mr. Gore. The City Attorney reminded Council that the City has nothing to do with restrictive covenants and decision should be on the best use of the land. Mr. Mitchell reminded him that each business gets 10 square feet, not 10 square feet for the whole shopping area. Appearing in opposition was Mr. R. B. Stone, 115 Old Gate Road; Mr. Hubert (Tony) Noble, 1111 Hearthstone Drive; and Mr. Charlie Astrike, 5407 Tarheel Drive. They all agreed that a sign variance is all that is needed and not rezoning. Mr. Al Mitchell informed Council that a Sign Committee is in the process of working on changes to the sign ordinance. Also, the ordinance states that economics is not justification for a variance. Therefore, the ordinance would have to be amended if they want larger signs in that type location. Mr. Cogswell stated that a variance would not come to Council, it would be to the Board of Adjustments and their decision is final. Following discussion, Councilmember Johnson offered motion to leave the zoning as is, seconded by Councilmember Jones and carried 6 to 3 with Councilmembers Dawkins, McBryde, and Kendrick voting no. At this time, Mayor Hurley recognized County Commissioner Mary McAllister present in the audience. E. Consideration of False Alarm Ordinance. This item was presented by Beryl Wade for reconsideration. Ms. Wade requested an effective date of January 1, 1987, if Council adopts this ordinance, in order to give them time to publicize the ordinance and establish procedures for its implementation. There was no one present for or against this item. Following brief discussion, Councilmember Evans offered motion to adopt the Burglar Alarm Ordinance to be effective January 1, 1987, seconded by Councilmember Dawkins and carried unanimously. The ordinance title is as follows: AN ORDINANCE CREATING CHAPTER 9A, ENTITLED “BURGLARY AND ROBBERY ALARM SYSTEMS REGULATIONS,” IN THE CODE OF THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE. ORDINANCE NO. S1986-14. A copy of the foregoing Ordinance is on file in the City Clerk's office in Ordinance Book S1986. 3. Planning Board Matters: Consideration of rezoning from R5 Residential District to C-1 Heavy Commercial District or to a more restrictive zoning classification for an area located on the east side of McIver Street, north of Humphrey Lane. (P86-37) Mr. Al Mitchell stated that this original request was from R5 Residential to C3 Heavy Commercial District. This will be a second reading on a motion made by Council to rezone to C1. Councilmember Dawkins offered motion to rezone from R5 Residential District to C1 Local Business District, seconded by Councilmember McBryde. Councilmember Ross offered a substitute motion to rezone to P2, seconded by Councilmember Evans. The City Attorney stated that since this a second reading, Council must vote on that first. Mayor disallowed the substitute motion and called for a vote on the motion to C1. The motion failed 4 to 5 with Councilmembers Johnson, McBryde, Kendrick, and Dawkins for the motion and Councilmembers Jones, Torrey, Evans, Pillow, and Ross against. Mr. Cogswell then referred to page 192 of the City Council minutes of October 6, 1986, showing this second reading is on a substitute motion. Therefore, it reverts back to the main motion to rezone to P2. He further stated that this will require only a simple majority. Mayor Hurley called for a vote on the motion from the October 6, 1986 meeting made by Councilmember Evans, seconded by Councilmember Pillow, to rezone from R5 Residential District to P2 Professional District. Motion carried 8 to 1 with Councilmember Johnson voting no. 4. Report from Ballpark Study Committee: Mr. Smith presented this item and stated that the Ballpark Study Committee had looked at eight sites and they chose Pope Park as a first choice location for the ballpark. City-owned property in the downtown area near the Prince Charles Hotel is recommended as a second choice. After the Board of County Commissioners and City Council officially designate a location for the ballpark the Study Committee will develop specific costs and prepare recommendations one methods of financing and management. Following lengthy discussion, Councilmember McBryde offered motion to have the Committee look into the top two sites and bring back information on each site, seconded by Councilmember Pillow. Councilmember Johnson offered substitute motion to look into four sites, seconded by Councilmember Torrey. Mr. Koonce was recognized and responded to Council's discussion concerning having a stadium downtown and as a business venture by using it for other sports events. He stated that it depends on the City's desires. It could be designed as a multi-purpose facility, if that's what the City wants. And with the rapid growth of the City, Pope Park might be considered downtown in 10 years, he stated. Councilmember Evans was concerned with obligating funds before the Bond Referendum passed. Following further discussion, Mayor Hurley called for a vote on the substitute motion and the motion failed 2 to 7 with Councilmembers Johnson and Torrey voting for and Councilmembers Dawkins, McBryde, Evans, Pillow, Ross, Kendrick, and Jones against. Mayor Hurley returned to the main motion to have the Committee return a complete analysis on both sites. The motion carried 7 to 2 with Councilmembers Dawkins, McBryde, Evans, Pillow, Ross, Kendrick, and Jones voting for and Councilmembers Johnson and Torrey voting against. At this time, Councilmember Dawkins asked County Commissioner McAllister if the Commission had taken any action concerning the stadium. Mrs. McAllister responded that they had voted to approve the Pope Park site as the best one contingent upon Council's action tonight. She further stated that they were waiting for a financial report on the site from the County Manager. Mayor Hurley then asked Mr. Koonce to make the same presentation tonight as he did to the County Commissioners. Mr. Koonce stated that he represented a group of businessmen that are interested in leasing the former Massey Hill Athletic Field as an alternate site for the purpose of bringing a Class A minor league professional baseball team. The lease would be for 10 years, $150,000.00 total to be paid in advance for the City to make improvements. Also, the City and County would submit $25,000.00 each for other needs. Mr. Koonce stated that the offer is contingent upon acquiring a suitable team franchise and this would be held until the 1988 season in use they cannot make arrangements by spring of 1987. Mayor Hurley then recognized Mr. Tom Illucci who stated he has been keeping in touch with the president of the Carolina League, Mr. John Hopkins, and a stadium is the issue. Facilities in Fayetteville do not have to be ready by spring and no advance money needs to be made because they can use the Kinston Facility since that franchise is moving. Carolina League is very interested in coming to Fayetteville, he stated. They are a Class A team but there are other classes also interested in coming to Fayetteville. Mr. Koonce read a letter he received from Mr. John Hopkins, Carolina League, stating that he could offer no encouragement for a player-development contract but would still consider expansion with independent clubs. Mr. Koonce stated that he broke off connections with his team because when there is no PDC, you get players that no one else wants. Councilmember Evans offered motion to take no action until the November 10 special meeting, seconded by Councilmember Kendrick. The motion carried 6 to 3 with Councilmembers Dawkins, McBryde, and Torrey voting no. At this time, Mr. Smith recommended that since no one was present for Items 5, 7, or 8, they be continued until the next meeting due to the lateness of the hour. 6. Consideration of a traffic improvement project at the intersection of Hay Street/Oakridge Avenue/Highland Avenue. Mayor Hurley recognized Walter Moorman, Jr., Moorman and Kizer Inc., 115 Broadfoot Avenue, who had submitted a written request to appear before Council on this matter. Mr. Moorman stated they would like to be a part of this study or participate in the design and not as a footnote afterwards. Councilmember Evans offered motion to authorize engineer to study for improving at Hay Street/Oakridge Avenue/Highland Avenue, seconded by Councilmember Kendrick and carried unanimously. Items 7 and 8 postponed. 9. Appointments: A. Nominations to fill one vacancy on Historic Resources Commission. There were no nominations. B. Election to fill one vacancy on the Airport Commission. Councilmember Kendrick offered motion to close nominations, seconded by Councilmember Ross and carried unanimously. Councilmember Dawkins asked for verification concerning a run-off if there was not a majority vote and this was confirmed by the City Attorney. Mayor Hurley asked for a show-of-hands vote for each of the four nominees who were Wayne Williams, Beth Finch, Chip Parks, and Ben Watson. The show of hands resulted in a three-way tie for Mr. Watson, Mr. Williams, and Mrs. Finch. Another vote by a show of hands resulted in two votes for Mr. Watson, three votes for Mr. Williams, and four votes for Mrs. Finch. Therefore, another vote for the top two was taken resulting in four votes for Mr. Williams and five votes for Mrs. Finch. Mrs. Beth Finch was elected to fill the unexpired term of Mr. J. Bernard Stein to June 1987. 10. Administrative Reports: A. Statement of taxes collected for the month of September 1986 from the Cumberland County Tax Collector. Mr. Smith submitted the statement of taxes collected for the month of September 1986. B. Report on Temporary Fire Station. Mr. Smith stated that Chief Johnson recommended nothing be done on the temporary station since the Bond Referendum is only two weeks away. Perhaps then something permanent can be done. Following discussion Councilmember Kendrick offered motion to postpone the temporary fire station until after the Bond Referendum, seconded by Councilmember Pillow and carried unanimously. C. USO Building Mr. Smith recommended that no election be taken tonight. He is contacting other agencies that might be interested in the building. At this time, Mr. Cogswell notified Council that they would come under Chapter 3 that Council could act on. This is different from the one that was heard earlier tonight. 11. Matters of Interest to Council: Councilmember Kendrick stated that the “Say No To Drugs” program the Mayor and Council is working on met at Mazarick Park with over 300 children saying “Say No To Drugs.” He feels it is important to sponsor a program such as this and thinks they have done a good job. Councilmember Evans reminded Council that the Arms Around Fayetteville will be Sunday and it would be wonderful if they could all participate in this. She feels that Council should get information on any project as soon as it becomes available. Mayor Hurley suggested that Council have a planning session on the fourth Monday rather than an information meeting. Councilmember Dawkins stated he felt they should discuss more than just the stadium item on the meeting on the 10th of the month. Councilmember Ross stated she doesn't feel Fayetteville is ready for equal rights because a black person was not elected to serve on the Airport Commission. Councilmember Jones questioned if there was an ordinance to prohibit children from playing in the streets. The response was that there is none. Councilmember McBryde offered motion to go into executive session at 10:55 p.m., seconded by Councilmember Kendrick and carried unanimously. Council reconvened into regular session at 10:57 p.m. and there being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. REGULAR MEETING MONDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1986 FAYETTEVILLE CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBER MONDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1986 PRESENT: Mayor Bill Hurley Councilmembers J. L. Dawkins, Milo McBryde, Mildred Evans, Jimmie Jones, Ida Ross, Joseph Pillow, Samuel Johnson, Mark Kendrick and Thelbert Torrey. OTHERS PRESENT: John P. Smith, City Manager Robert C. Cogswell, Jr., City Attorney Mayor Hurley called the meeting to order and welcomed everyone to the first meeting in November. The Invocation was given by Father Alexander Nakiereru, St. Ann's Catholic Church, followed with the Pledge of Allegiance of the Flag led by Mayor Hurley. The Mayor administered the Oath to Thomas Bolton for the appointment to the Fayetteville Metropolitan Housing Authority. John Smith requested a correction to Item IF. Change to authorize advertisement from approval of assignment. Councilmember Pillow offered motion to approve Consent Items 1A through I with the amendment on F, seconded by Councilmember Dawkins. Councilmember Torrey requested that Item G and H be pulled for discussion. On Item H, Mr. Torrey wondered why the lease for the Airport is only one dollar when we need revenue as much as we do. Tom Ray, Airport Manager, responded that the Civil Air Patrol is mainly volunteer and the City gains much from this agency. There will be no cost to the City. Item H, Mr. Torrey asked if the funds left over in the budget this purchase could be transferred for the use of the ball team. Mr. Smith responded that other purchases will need to be made for Data Processing at a later date. He stated that it is best not to transfer funds at this time. Mayor Hurley called for a vote on the approval of the consent items and it carried unanimously. They are as follows: 1. Consent: A. Approval of a request for a refund of City taxes to Moses and Alberta Best in the amount of $58.64. B. Approval of a request for a refund of City taxes to Malcolm E. Holmes, Jr., in the amount of $3.95. C. Approval of a request for a refund of City taxes to Addie B. McMillan in the amount of $44.20. D. Approval of a request for a refund of City taxes to Gary Thompson in the amount of $129.22. E.

Award of contract for purchase of computer equipment to Wang Laboratories, the lowest responsible bidder. I. Approval of the Tenant Displacement Policy and the Affirmative Marketing Policy for the Rental Rehabilitation Program. 2. Public Hearings A. Consideration of a Number of Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity to be issued in the City of Fayetteville for the period beginning January 1 and ending on the following December 31. Mr. Cogswell presented this item and stated that the number of Certificates of Public Convenience are set yearly and the recommendation of the Taxi Inspector is to remain at 110. There was no one present for or against this item. Councilmember McBryde expressed a concern that there might be too many taxis in operation in the City. He stated that perhaps they would earn more if there were fewer. Also the quality of the drivers might improve. Mr. Cogswell stated that we cannot reduce the number without putting someone out of business. However, we could eliminate a Certificate of Public Convenience should a vacancy of a franchise occur, such as a death of an owner. The Mayor's concern was that the quality of cab remain clean and safe and this seems to have been improved. Councilmember Evans offered motion to approve the 110 Public Convenience Certificates, seconded by Councilmember Kendrick and carried unanimously. 3. Consideration of award of contract for purchase of fire pumper to Quality Manufacturing Company, the lowest responsible bidder meeting specifications. Mr. Smith stated that staff members from the Fire Department, the Purchasing Division, and himself have reviewed the above bids in regards to the needs and requirements of the City of Fayetteville. Pierce Manufacturing, Inc., was the low bid but did not meet specifications in several areas. C. W. Williams and Company, Inc., was the next low bid but could not supply the required performance bond and did not meet specifications in three other areas. Grumman Emergency Products, Inc., was the next low bid. They also did not meet specifications in several areas and cannot be recommended due to past poor performance on delivery time and specifications on a pumper purchase last year. Mr. Smith further stated that Quality Manufacturing, Inc. meets or exceeded all of the specifications required, and can provide a 100 percent performance bond. It is the recommendation of this Committee that the bid submitted by Quality Manufacturing, Inc., in the amount of $128,338 be accepted. Councilmember Johnson stated he does not feel that the difference in the price is worth the warranty. He stated that the company could go out of business and not be able to honor the warranty. Councilmember Kendrick stated that he had received a message from an employee of the Fire Department informing him that Quality Manufacturing had run into financial difficulty and had filed bankruptcy and/or they had some problems with the equipment or machinery. The employee had warned him to check into the past credit records of Quality Manufacturing Company. Councilmember Kendrick offered substitute motion to check out the background and financial records of Quality Manufacturing Company to make sure it is a stable company before $128,338 is approved and we take final action, seconded by Councilmember Ross. Mr. Cogswell stated a performance bond just guarantees that we will get from them what we contract to buy. Once we accept and pay them, we are into warranty. He stated that we could do what we could to find out about the company, however, there is a 30-day acceptance bond and it expires Friday of this week. Then they may not want to go with that price. Mr. Smith was concerned that a Fire Department employee has not said something prior to now where this bid has been under review for a number of weeks. Quality could provide a 100 percent performance bond and one of the companies could not. Councilmember Evans suggested that they go with their original motion and have the City Manager do what he can to check before signing the contract. Councilmember Dawkins stated that when performance bonds are issued, they have been checked out thoroughly and the bonding companies look at financial statements, assets, etc. He further stated that he would stick with a bonding company over an individual any time because they are extremely thorough with their checking. Mayor Hurley called for a vote on the substitute motion to delay this item. The motion carried 6 to 3 with Councilmembers Dawkins, Evans, and Pillow voting against. There was further discussion on this matter and Mr. Cogswell stated that if a bid that is accepted meets the specifications, you cannot add conditions to it after that in terms of the motion. Councilmember McBryde offered motion to award the contract to Quality Manufacturing Company, the lowest responsible bidder meeting specifications in the amount of $128,338, seconded by Councilmember Kendrick. There was further discussion. Councilmember Evans called for the question and there was a two-thirds vote show of hands to cease debate. The Mayor called for a vote on the motion to approve the contract and it carried unanimously. 4. Consideration of a request from a citizen to purchase a tract of City-owned land in the Scotty Hills Homes subdivision. This item was presented by Mr. Bennett. He stated that a property owner/resident of 3531 Scottywood Drive wishes to buy a portion of City-owned Lot No. 28 for $200 instead of the $906 of City Appraiser's price. Mr. Bennett recommended advertisement for a minimum of $900. Councilmember Evans offered motion to advertise for a minimum sale of $900, seconded by Councilmember Jones. Councilmember Jones stated that he wanted a stipulation that the owner will responsible for any drainage problems. Councilmember Evans amended her motion to include this stipulation and the motion carried unanimously. 5. Consideration of reassessment of paving assessment on Lot 11, Orange Street. Mr. Cogswell presented this item and recommended that the motion be stated as it reads in his memorandum to Council. Councilmember Dawkins offered motion to: (1) amend Resolution 1986-49 by deleting the name Mrs. Elizabeth Bell Heirs, and substituting Mrs. Coan Bell Hansen; (2) delete from the Assessment Roll for Orange Street, Lot 11, the name and address of Mrs. Elizabeth Bell Heirs and substituting Mrs. Coan Bell Hansen 26 Manor Court, Redwood City, California 94062; and (3) add $51.31 to the total cost, seconded by Councilmember Jones and carried unanimously. 6. Consideration of the following Capital Project Ordinance actions: A. Adoption of Capital Project Ordinance Amendment Change 87-1 to CAP-1. B. Adoption of CAP 87-883. This item was presented by Mr. Smith and he stated that one amendment transfers the left-over funds from the Transit Mall and the other creates new Capital Project Ordinance for Purchase of Transit items. Eighty percent from UMTA, ten percent from NCDDT, and ten percent is local funds. Councilmember Evans offered motion to approve Items A and B as recommended, seconded by Councilmember Kendrick and carried unanimously. 7. Consideration of approval of surplus property auction. Councilmember Jones questioned the method of obtaining the auctioneer. Mr. Smith responded that RFP's were sent out on the first two auctions the City held. However, he recommends using the same one because of the success. Mr. Jones stated that he felt everyone should be given a chance since this is public money, Councilmember Ross concurred. RESOLUTION AND NOTICE OF SALE OF SURPLUS PROPERTY. RESOLUTION NO. R1986-155. Councilmember Pillow introduced the foregoing Resolution and moved its adoption to authorize the City Manager to contract with the auctioneer, seconded by Councilmember Evans. Following further discussion, Mayor Hurley called for a vote on the motion and it was 7 to 2 with Councilmembers Ross and Jones voting no. The foregoing Resolution is on file in the City Clerk's office in Resolution Book R1986. At this time, Councilmember Dawkins asked Mr. Cogswell if Council should hear Item 8 regarding a variance instead of it going to the Board of Adjustment. Mr. Cogswell responded that he had mentioned at the last meeting that Council would be getting a variance request under Chapter 3 that Council could act upon. 8. Consideration of request for sign variance by Market Place Mall. Mr. Cogswell stated that Mr. Frank Simpson's memorandum recommends a slightly oversized sign in a relatively large parking lot as opposed to two signs side-by-side. Councilmember Evans offered motion to grant variance for Marketplace Mall, seconded by Councilmember Jones and carried unanimously. 9. Consideration of amendment to contract with American Transit Corporation regarding Fidelity Bond. Mr. Smith stated that because of present market conditions within the insurance industry, ATC wasn't able to renew the stealthy bonding for appropriate employees without a $5,000 deductible clause. He is recommending that they amend Section 16 of the management contract to reflect this change. Councilmember McBryde stated that if the ATC cannot fulfill its contract, then it should be cancelled. Councilmember Dawkins offered motion to amend the contract as recommended, seconded by Councilmember Evans and carried 8 to 1 with Councilmember McBryde voting no. At this time, Mr. Cogswell wanted to correct an earlier statement concerning the billboard not being able to advertise business. A billboard can go on the property because of it being zoned M2. 10. Consideration of procedure for the release of demolition liens. Councilmember McBryde offered motion, seconded by Councilmember Evans to approve the release of the demolition liens, carried unanimously. 11. Appointments: A. Nominations to fill one vacancy on the Historic Resources Commission. Councilmember Evans nominated Mr. Dan MacMillan for the architectural category. B. Nominations to fill one vacancy on Human Services Commission. Councilmember Ross nominated Mrs. Christina Smith to fill the unexpired term of Betty Joe Goodenough. Councilmember Jones brought to Council's attention that this would be the only appointment for any Board from Mrs. Ross district. Councilmember Dawkins stated that Mrs. Betty Joe Goodenough had worked very hard at the Salvation Army. Councilmember Jones requested that a letter of appreciation for her fine performance be sent from the City. 12. Administrative Reports: A. Report on Rosehill Road Park property. Mr. Smith stated that the County has invested a total of $33,171 in the Rosehill Road property. Sale of this property is contingent upon compliance with Land and Water Conservation Fund Rules and Regulations. He stated that Jack Wilson is reviewing this matter at this time. This property can only be used for a park and we are going to try and get something on there this Spring, he stated. Mr. Smith stated that it is his understanding the plan has to be presented to the State before anything can be done to the property. B. USO Property The City does not currently have the budget or the staff to operate programs in the building. If the City can transfer that responsibility to another agency through a contract or sublease, he would recommend approaching the Army on the land alone excluding the building. Mr. Walter Moorman, Jr., was recognized and requested that Council be careful to keep control of the land along the creek for the Linear Park. Councilmember Torrey stated that he is concerned over the “latchkey kids” in our City and suggested that maybe a private contribution could be obtained and use the building for this purpose. Council all had the same concern about being responsible if it were sublet to someone who could not fulfill their obligation. No action was taken on this matter. C. Report on Industrial Park property for PWC. Mr. Smith reviewed for the newest members of Council, that the City is in the process of developing property in the Industrial Park. He reported to Council that PWC is interested in acquiring by transfer purchase of a sizeable tract of this Industrial Park property, approximately 32 acres. They are asking for a back section of the property and not the prime property on the front. He stated that PWC will be acquiring property somewhere and it would be putting property back on the tax books, so this land transaction would benefit the City as well as PWC. Mr. Smith recommended that Council enter into this agreement and put the funds back into the development of this property for sale to industry. This will he brought up at a future meeting for Council's action. 13. Matters of Interest to Council: Councilmember Johnson had several questions: (1) Would it be worth competing with Hope Mills on annexing property North of the City? (2) Raleigh is going to try for smaller signs aid shouldn't we go to smaller signs instead of getting bigger and bigger? Mayor Hurley responded that the Sign Committee is working on changes now and should be making a presentation around the first of the year. (3) Shouldn't the City purchase the old Dickinson Buick lot to be used for parking? (4) Mr. Johnson requests a monthly statement to Council of money on hand and what is spent. Also, he wants a monthly statement of taxes collected by the County Tax Department. Mr. McBryde responded that a monthly statement of taxes collected is in the agenda packet every month. Mr. Johnson requested a balance sheet be sent monthly of the City funds. Councilmember Ross stated that she had been asked where she is coming from, so she wants to let everyone know where she is coming from. She stated that when the Black Caucus asked her to file for Council, she decided to do it to help others. Mrs. Ross then shared two spiritual experiences in which she felt God had used her as an instrument because she is a Christian. She further stated that her life was behind her and that God is using her as an instrument to help people by saying things that people won't say. Councilmember Pillow stated that he had been approached by citizens in the E. B. Smith School residential neighborhood and asked that the Engineering Department look at the stop signs there to see if they should be changed to yield signs instead. Councilmember Torrey thanked Ms. Ross for sharing her experiences with Council and that he feels they know what she is thinking about. Councilmember Dawkins concurred with Mr. Pillow because he is familiar with that situation. Mr. Dawkins also reminded Council of Monday's special meeting. Councilmember Kendrick recognized Mr. Jerry Meek, state YDC president, in the audience. Mr. Kendrick notified Council of the death of Mr. Mack Geddie, a community leader.

Councilmember Kendrick asked Mr. Haire what has been done at the locations that the two of them had visited--1007 Arsenal Avenue and 108 Clarke Street. Mr. Hair stated that he is doing follow-ups on these two locations. Councilmember Pillow asked if there were other old cases that date back to the 1950's. Mr. Haire responded that he has been trying to catch up on backlog in addition to following up on current problems. Councilmember Torrey asked if there are any outside toilets in this area. Mr. Smith responded that there are some and a report is in the process of being prepared for Council. Consideration of bid for computer equipment for Police Department. Mr. Smith received only one bid and it is a State contract purchase price. Following some discussion, Councilmember Evans moved to approve the award to Speery Corporation, seconded by Councilmember Johnson. Councilmember Jones referred to the bid specifications of item 4 under “remarks” which reads: “Speery reserves the option of shipping this item as used equipment. All aspects of warranty, maintenance, and performance are the same as new. All other equipment is new and factory fresh.” Mr. Jones stated that he did not like the word “fresh,” neither did he appreciate the option of this being shipped as used equipment. Mr. Jones offered substitute motion to re-advertise this bid, seconded by Councilmember Ross and motion failed 2 to 7 with Councilmembers Jones and Ross voting for and Councilmembers Dawkins, McBryde, Evans, Pillow, Johnson, Kendrick, and Torrey voting against. Mayor Hurley then returned to the main motion and it carried with Councilmembers Dawkins, McBryde, Evans, Pillow, Johnson, Kendrick, and Torrey voting far and Councilmembers Jones and Ross voting against. Consideration of a joint street signage project with North Carolina Department of Transportation. Mr. Smith explained to Council that this program had not been offered by NCDOT at the time of the budget preparation. Therefore, if Council approves this, a budget revision will be prepared. Bob Bennett stated that NCDOT has recently changed their policy and has adopted a program to participate in street name signing to be installed overhead at signalized intersections. The program calls for a uniform system of signing. The only stipulation is that this be uniform throughout the City and we pay for the labor. Louis Chalmers presented slides showing what is in use now and what the difference will be with the new system. Councilmember Evans offered motion to approve as recommended, seconded by Councilmember Jones and carried unanimously. Consideration of an agreement with North Carolina Department of Transportation for the improvement of Southern Avenue from Cumberland Road to Owen Drive. Mr. Bennett stated that the North Carolina Department of Transportation has designated the widening of this portion of Southern Avenue as being eligible for funding improvements as a Small Urban Project. The State's Small Urban Projects provide only for construction money and require the City to provide any right-of-way needed, and to adjust utilities without reimbursement from the State. Mr. Bennett stated that they recommend approval of the agreement by adoption of the attached Resolution. (A copy of the Resolution is attached to the original minutes.) Councilmember Dawkins offered motion to approve as recommended by the Engineering Department, seconded by Councilmember Kendrick and carried unanimously. Consideration of a street resurfacing list to be financed with bond funds. Mr. Bennett stated that they want to substitute Hay Street and Minor Street due to their very bad condition and complaints from the general public. The funds designated for resurfacing by the issue will provide for resurfacing inclusion of the streets on the present contract. This is approximately one-third of the list to be resurfaced. (A copy of the list is attached to the original minutes.) Following lengthy discussion, Councilmember Dawkins offered motion to approve as recommended, seconded by Councilmember Jones and carried unanimously. 8. Consideration of assessing a portion of the sidewalk projects financed by bond funds. Mr. Bennett stated that the present policy for construction of sidewalks is far no assessment at locations for which the Council approves funds for an annual sidewalk construction program. The policy provides for participation/assessment of one-half the construction cost not to exceed $3.00 per linear foot for construction of sidewalks, other than the annual construction program. A decision needs to be made as to whether or not any portion of the construction cost on bond finance of sidewalk projects is to be made. Following lengthy discussion, Councilmember Dawkins offered motion to have no assessment on the bond referendum funds for sidewalks, seconded by Councilmember Ross and carried 7 to 2 with Councilmembers Dawkins, McBryde, Evans, Ross, Pillow, Kendrick, and Torrey voting for and Councilmembers Jones and Johnson voting no. 9. Consideration of Resolution authorizing Lease/Purchase Agreement for Airport Terminal equipment. Mr. Smith stated that Council previously approved the purchase of items for the Airport. The action for consideration at this time is the method of financing. (A copy of the Certificate of Resolutions and Incumbency is attached to the original minutes.) Following discussion, motion was made by Councilmember Johnson to approve as recommended, seconded by Councilmember Pillow and carried unanimously. 10. Consideration of design of College Lakes Fire Station. Mr. Smith stated that the Fire Chief has a conceptual design in mind and wants to move as quickly as possible to get the facility in operation. He stated that while valid arguments can be made for outside or in-house design, we have learned that the practice of purchasing design services based on low bid does not necessarily produce the quality and control of the project that is in the City's best interest. He further stated that bond money left over, if any, by doing in-house could be used for equipping the station. Chief Johnson was recognized and he stated that he wants the building to blend in with the neighborhood. Frank Dallas of the Engineering Department did a design to his specifications. Following some discussion, Councilmember Jones offered motion to authorized the design to be done in-house, seconded by Councilmember Ross and carried unanimously. 11. Consideration of lease of USO Property from U.S. Army. Mr. Smith stated that having gone as far as we can go in negotiating the lease he has three alternatives. They are: (1) Accept the lease and sublet the facility for a community use, (2) Accept the lease and operate the facility ourselves, or (3) Reject the lease and allow the Army to sell the property. Following lengthy discussion, Councilmember Johnson offered motion to have Mr. Smith negotiate with the Army to purchase the land along the creek bank. There was no second. Councilmember Evans offered motion to reject the offer to lease from the Army, Councilmember McBryde seconded. Following further discussion, Councilmember Dawkins offered a friendly amendment to Mrs. Evans' motion to request the Army consider leasing to the City of Fayetteville a certain amount of creek property right-of-way for the Linear Park. Councilmember Evans accepted the friendly amendment. Mayor Hurley called far a vote and it carried 8 to 1 with Councilmember Ross voting no. At this time, Mayor Hurley stated that they would advance to Item 17B on the agenda due to the representatives present on this matter. 17. B. Report from Baseball Stadium Committee. In summarizing from Mr. Smith's memorandum, the Committee has found that it would be physically impossible to develop a suitable facility for the 1987 season and the cost of developing Pope Park as an interim ball park would be almost the same as a permanent site. The Committee is therefore recommending that Pope park not be considered for development as a temporary site, and the Committee continue its study of possible permanent locations (including Pope Park), and that a temporary site be designated for the 1987 season. The only apparent option for a temporary site is Edge Field. Following some discussion, Councilmember Ross offered motion to go along with Edge Field as a temporary site, seconded by Councilmember Torrey. The Mayor then asked for a show of hands to see if Council would allow representatives from the audience, and there was a two-third vote for approval. Councilmember Evans asked if there is any obligation for financing by the City other than the $25,000 already approved. Mr. Smith responded that the City has made no financial obligations. There was also some discussion concerning lighting the field which is currently being handled by the County since it is a County park. The zoning in that area was also discussed briefly. Councilmember Pillow stated that we have already entered into the agreement, voted on the $25,000 with the four conditions, and it is up to the County to come up with a working contractual agreement with a private group. He further stated that when he voted, it was for Edge Field being a temporary site. Clinton Harris was recognized and asked by Council to report on what the County Commissioners had decided at their meeting this evening. He stated that the County Commissioners decided to work out a contractual agreement with the County School Board and ask the Stadium Committee to listen to objections from the area residents. Mrs. Betty Ford, Eugene Street resident, was recognized and stated that the ballfield property adjoins the back of her property. She stated that there had been a neighborhood meeting held, and they do not want a professional ball team in the back yards of a strictly residential area. Mrs. Ford further stated that they have had Little Leagues and American Legion teams playing on this field but only approximately 100 people, at most, were in attendance. Mr. Koonce was recognized and stated that he went door-to-door explaining their position and answering questions in the neighborhood. He stated that their team will be there on a temporary basis and it will be a better park after they leave. Following questions and answers of Mr. Koonce, the Mayor called for a vote on the motion and it carried 7 to 2 with Councilmembers Jones and Kendrick voting no. 12. Consideration of offer of property by Mr. Ernest Wood. Mr. Smith stated that Mr. Woods' property is located on Person Street along the Cape Fear River and has approached the City with a verbal offer to dedicate the property to the City. Mr. Smith stated that he discussed this with Jack Wilson who indicated no immediate need or use of the property. Taxes on the property amount to $93.24 per year. Mr. Smith further stated that he could not see the city putting this property to any productive use in the near future. Councilmember Kendrick offered motion to reject Mr. Wood's offer, seconded by Councilmember Evans and carried 8 to 1 with Councilmember Johnson voting no. 13. Consideration of amendment of Section 28-42 regarding commercial advertisement on taxicabs. Councilmember Kendrick offered motion to adopt the ordinance on the first reading, seconded by Councilmember McBryde and carried unanimously. There was some discussion concerning the elimination of the inspection fee charged to the taxicabs for the signs. Councilmember Kendrick then withdrew his motion. However, Councilmember McBryde would not withdraw his second, therefore, Mayor Hurley stated that the motion stands. Councilmember Evans offered substitute motion to approve the amendment but eliminate the fee, seconded by Councilmember Jones. There was some further discussion and Councilmember McBryde stated that if this passed, then everyone would not be “fed from the same spoon.” The substitute motion failed 4 to 5 with Councilmembers Evans, Jones, Torrey and Johnson voting for, and Councilmembers Dawkins, McBryde, Ross, Kendrick and Pillow voting against. Mayor then returned to the main motion and called for a vote which passed 5 to 4 with Dawkins, McBryde, Ross, Pillow and Kendrick voting for, and Councilmembers Evans, Jones, Torrey and Johnson voting against. 14. Consideration of a new Section 20-145.1 to allow additional equipment for newer lightweight cars. The City Attorney presented this item and stated that Clark Dill, Chairman of the Wrecker Review Board, is requesting a change in the Wrecker Ordinance to allow for more lightweight-type wreckers to be used with certain newer model cars made of fiberglass and new design frames. Following some discussion, Councilmember Evans offered motion to adopt the ordinance as recommended, seconded by Councilmember Torrey. Mr. Tom Simmons was recognized at this time, who is a member of the Wrecker Review Board representing the Wrecker Service Industry. He stated that a carrier wheel disk for small cars are not feasible on the big wreckers. Mayor Hurley then recognized Mr. G. H. King, King's Union Service Station on Murchison Road. He stated that he bought a large wrecker approximately 10 years ago when this happened. He further stated that he had a small wrecker at that time and had to sell it to buy a new one. The wheel they are speaking of is an expensive one and he will only buy one if he has to, because he can pull cars with what he has now. Following some further discussion, Councilmember Evans withdrew her motion and Mr. Torrey withdrew his second. Councilmember Kendrick then offered motion to delay until more information on how this amendment affects the rotation list can be obtained, seconded by Councilmember Jones and carried unanimously. At this time, Mayor Hurley requested Mayor Pro Tem Dawkins preside temporarily. Mayor Pro Tem then called for Item 15 on the agenda. 15. City Attorney Matters: A. Consideration of amendment of Section 20-121 regarding removal of abandoned vehicles. Mr. Cogswell stated that this will give us a spelled-out procedure to get rid of abandoned vehicles. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 20-121, “REMOVAL OF ABANDONED OR JUNKED MOTOR VEHICLES,” THE FAYETTEVILLE CITY CODE. ORDINANCE NUMBER S1986-16. Councilmember Evans introduced the foregoing ordinance and moved its adoption, seconded by Councilmember Jones and carried unanimously. A copy of the foregoing ordinance is on file in the Clerk's Office in Ordinance Book S1986. B. Offer to purchase property; parcels M-8 and M-9; Murchison Road Redevelopment Plan; Blue Street area. The City Attorney stated that in September, Council deferred this matter until a response from the Senior Citizens Service Center could be obtained concerning their interest in the property. A response in memo form was forwarded to Council. Following a 30-day posting of the property, the only offer was that of Robert Thompson. Therefore, Mr. Cogswell recommends authorizing the advertisement of the offer. Following discussion, Councilmember Evans offered motion to advertise Parcels M-8 and M-9 on Murchison Road Redevelopment Plan, Blue Street Area, seconded by Councilmember Pillow and carried 7 to 2 with Councilmembers Johnson and Jones voting against. At this time, Mayor Hurley returned to the meeting and again presided. 16 Appointments: A. Fayetteville Appearance Commission 1. Elections to fill two at-large vacancies from nominees.

Mr. Smith stated that Council voted to reopen the storm drainage system in Greens Subdivision for a public hearing at the January meeting.

Councilmember McBryde introduced the foregoing resolution and moved its adoption to set a public hearing for the storm drainage for January 5, seconded by Councilmember Kendrick and carried unanimously. At this time, the City Attorney requested Council Action on two items: (1) In the matter of John Lewis Locklear vs. Police Officer Orval Cox, et al, 86 892 CRT Federal District Court.

Matters of Interest to Council: Councilmember Jones stated that he felt if we worked with the Council on the College Lakes Property, it could be obtained for $1 per year and graded in time to be used in the spring as park property. Mayor Hurley reminded Council of the employee reception on Thursday, December 18, from 3:00 - 4:30 p.m. He also wanted to respond to something that was in the newspaper concerning the Prince Charles Hotel. He stated that he had been trying for the past two weeks to get in touch with the public relations person to the Goodyear Tire Company to see if he could get an appointment with the powers-that-be so that we could take a delegation to see if we could take a plea to have them consider Fayetteville as their home office. Mayor Hurley stated that Sol Rose suggested the Prince Charles Hotel as an incentive and the State might even rehabilitate the building since it is on the Historic Registry. Also that they are in the business of encouraging businesses to come into our State. He further stated that he made a general comment at the last Wednesday morning executive session of the Economic Development Board meeting of the Chamber of Commerce. Mayor Hurley stated that it did get out of the Executive Session bind when Mrs. Thrasher of the Fayetteville Observer called him this morning and asked if he had made that statement, he stated that he had. He did not realize that Mrs. Thrasher was going to call each member of the Council that she could reach before he had a chance to contact them or he would have refused the interview. Mayor Hurley then assured Council that he would not in any way try to make a decision for the Council on any matter. It reads in the paper that he is trying to do something behind Council's back and he is in no way trying to do this, and will be more careful in the future with interviews. Mayor Hurley also stated that past member of Council, Mr. Milton Wofford had asked Council to consider budgeting for a trolley or bus of some type for the downtown area. He stated that now is the time to get staff to investigate this before it is time to work on the budget. Council was in agreement. Mayor Hurley also stated that he and Chairman Bedsole of the County Commissioners agreed that a joint meeting of the two parties needs to be held in January to share common goals. Council again was in agreement. There being no further business, Council adjourned the meeting at 10:58 p.m. RESOLUTION COMMITTING SENATE BILL 2 FUNDS WHEREAS, the County of Cumberland, North Carolina has $1,750,000 of unallocated Senate Bill 2 funds available for sanitary sewer projects, and WHEREAS, the County of Cumberland by resolution adopted the seventeenth day of November, 1986, has requested the State of North Carolina to transfer $1,750.000 of the County's allocation of Senate Bill 2 funds to the Public Works Commission of the City of Fayetteville to be used In constructing a sanitary sewer interceptor between the Rockfish Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant and the vicinity of the intersection of N.C.
