Rev. Johnson commented on the present Cablevision franchise and expressed the opinion that the City should get out of this business. The City Manager stated that the present franchise was not an exclusive one and that other Cablevision companies could apply to serve the City. Rev. Johnson stated that the television satellite dishes are becoming increasingly popular. There was then some discussion on this topic. Mrs. Evans commented on the attended parking lot behind the Capitol on Old Street. She stated the operating costs is approximately $5,000 per year to maintain this lot. She suggested putting the parking meters back in. Following some discussion it was suggested that this topic be placed on a future agenda for discussion at a Council meeting. Mr. Jones asked why the bricks put down in front of the Anderson Street Library had been broken up. The City Engineer replied that they had been installed incorrectly and had to be changed. Mr. Jones stated this error should have been caught by the Inspector at the time. Mr. Jones also briefly discussed the other brickwork being carried on in the Hay Street area.

They recommended that the City Council consider the same review process that is used by the County, in which the City Council only reviews upon appeal. The consensus of Council was that the Council wanted to continue reviewing all development plans. The Planning Board is proposing that they delegate their review to the staff unless a variance is necessary. I would suggest that this matter be reviewed in detail either by the Policy Committee or at a Council Information Meeting. This matter was discussed by City Council for several moments and it was decided to consider it further at the Information Meeting on January 28, 1985. 5. Consideration of assessment of two properties on Taft Street (tabled at August 20, 1984 meeting). Approval of the assessment was recommended.

Two of the property owners which abut Whitfield Road questioned the assessment due to a strip of right-of-way for Whitfield Road previously acquired by NCDOT. Both property owners have now consented to the proper footage that they should be assessed; and the 25.6 feet which was held up should now be confirmed by the Council. The two property owners were Mrs. Rosa MacMillian and Mr. W. Edward Murphy. Following a brief discussion Reverend Johnson offered motion to follow the foregoing recommendation of the City Engineer and approve the assessments, seconded by Mr. Jones, and carried unanimously. 6. Consideration of Hamlet Street assessment. (Continued from 1-7-85). It was recommended to continue this matter to February 4, 1985.

I have discussed this problem with Mrs. Brown; and, we can correct at least two of the conditions that were stated. Mrs. Brown requested that this matter not be on the agenda far tonight because she would be out of town. We recommend that this item be scheduled for February 4 to accommodate Mrs. Brown.

The apportionment of these special one-time funds for the Fayetteville Urbanized area was $466,000. We have already applied for and received $270,660 in 1983-84. These funds were used to rebuild the parking lot of the new maintenance facility and pass through funds to Cumberland County (match provided by them).

He has dug graves and the City has charged the funeral homes who have paid the City, but he was paid by the City. So he has been in limbo. He has been a good grave digger through the years. He is a man of honor and he loves his job. I ask that you consider doing whatever you can to help John McNeill. Thank you. Mayor Hurley thanked Mr. Breece. A Mr. Donald Fuller was then recognized and stated he had a problem where he lives concerning the sale of drugs in his neighborhood. The Police Department knows it is going on and has investigated it, but a house across the street does more business than the A & P and I am sick and tired of it. I hear vulgar language, cars going day and night, and the situation is very bad in general. It appears that nobody wants to do anything about it. One man has already died from an overdose. I have several small children who see this activity. I called the Police Department today and the Sergeant in charge of narcotics if you could do more than we can, then go ahead, and I think I can, but I'm not employed by the Police Department.

Mr. McBryde stated that five years ago he and Aaron sat together as members of this Council for the first time. In those five years there has been no better Councilmember and I have had no better friend. I have enjoyed serving with him and I really hate to see him go. Mr. Wofford echoed Mr. McBryde's sentiments. Mr. Dawkins stated Reverend Johnson was one of the main reasons Fayetteville came through some very trying times. He is truly a fine gentleman, and he is only on loan to Governor Martin in Raleigh. Mrs. Evans stated she will miss her seatmate and wished Reverend Johnson good luck and vaya con dios. (Go with God). Mayor Hurley stated that sometimes the Council has disagreed but they have not been disagreeable. They have worked well together and that's a compliment to all of us. And Aaron, as I look back, you have been with your wisdom and diplomacy, able to keep us in that posture and to keep us moving on. And, sir, I will always admire you and be one of your fans and as Mr. Dawkins said, we are only lending you to Raleigh. And while you are there, keep looking after our great City.

Mayor Hurley stated this ended the public hearings. 6. Planning Board Matters: Mayor Hurley stated that he had a request from an individual to speak on the next matter. A. Consideration of Highland Villas in an R6 residential district for preliminary and final zero lot line development revision review for an area located on the south side of Pamalee Drive (U.S. 401 Bypass), east of Cain Road. Planning Board recommended conditional approval. Planner Al Mitchell presented this matter and stated the Planning Board recommended conditional approval per the memo in the agenda packet. Mayor Hurley recognized Mr. Jim Pettinger, Forest Hill Drive, who stated he was concerned with the 100 year floodway. He stated his property was next to the Highland Villa's property. He requested the 110 feet be maintained so that water will not be diverted onto his property. Mr. Mitchell stated that this was all covered in condition no. 9 of the memo. Mayor Hurley recognized Mr. Frank Edwards, owner of the property, who stated that he had consulted with the City Engineer and that elevation is the main factor at this site. He stated he would keep and maintain all rules and regulations of City government concerning this matter. Following brief discussion, Mrs. Evans offered motion to follow the recommendation of the Planning Board and approve the site conditionally. Motion seconded by Mr. Dawkins. There was then a detailed discussion of Condition No. 9 in the Planning Board memo. Following this discussion, Mr. Wofford offered a substitute motion that we approve with the exception of Condition No. 9 where we will accept either 110 feet from the center line of the creek or 133 feet contour and any other provisions that will keep us in compliance with the flood management ordinance. Motion seconded by Mrs. Evans and carried unanimously. B. Consideration of revision to the Subdivision Ordinance. The recommended action was to set a public hearing for March 18, 1985. Planner Al Mitchell presented this matter and stated that it was a revision of the Subdivision Ordinance which allows the Planning Department to approve subdivisions and group developments with the appeals process to the Planning Board and City Council. He requested that Council set the public hearing. Mrs. Evans then moved, seconded by Mr. Wofford and carried unanimously to set a public hearing on the foregoing matter for March 18, 1985. 7. Consideration of a request from Eutaw Shopping Center to landscape the Bragg Boulevard median strip between Stamper Road and Elm Street. Mayor Hurley recognized Mr. Bill Tucker, President of the Eutaw Merchants Association who introduced Mr. Bob Williams, who presented details of the request. The City Manager presented cost figures and stated that the shopping center owners want to share in the cost of landscaping the median strip. Eutaw proposes to pay for all planting and to provide future maintenance of the plants and irrigation system. It is proposed that the City would provide the electrical and water service including any extensions to the median strip. There is an existing water main under the median that can be tapped for water service. Electrical service would have to be extended from the margin of Bragg Boulevard by underground bore to the median strip. NCDOT will have to approve this request and on behalf of the shopping center it has been forwarded to the local office of NC DOT. We recommend approval of the request, subject to NCDOT approval. Following brief discussion, Mr. Dawkins offered motion to honor the request of the Eutaw Merchants Association and that final design is to be approved by the City. Motion seconded by Mr. McBryde and carried unanimously. Mayor Hurley requested the planting of dogwood trees in the median. 8. Consideration of Resolution of Application for allocation for private activity bonding for Downtown Loan Program to Thorpe & Clark, Attorneys, for restoration of Cool Spring Tavern. Adoption of the resolution was recommended. The City Manager presented this matter and stated that under the provisions of the 1984 Deficit Reduction Act and state regulations, the City must request an allocation for private activity bonds to cover any loans made from our downtown loan pool. The federal legislation limits the amount of industrial revenue bonds that can be issued in a State, and this procedure is necessary to assure that a State does not exceed its allowed limit. North Carolina is far below the maximum amount, but the State still must go through these procedures and thus we must also. Mr. Wofford offered motion for approval by the adoption of the resolution, seconded by Mrs. Evans and carried unanimously. RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA APPROVING THE APPLICATION FOR ALLOCATION FOR PRIVATE ACTIVITY BOND. RESOLUTION NO. R1985-35. 9. Consideration of request from residents of Eunice Drive: A. Acceptance of a portion of Eunice Drive for maintenance: B. Setting a public hearing ordering installation of water system and sanitary sewer in Eunice Drive without petition. Adoption of the resolution was recommended. The City Engineer presented these matters and stated that one resident had protested this matter and had a deed withdrawing his dedication from this section of Eunice Drive. The City Engineer requested delay of both of these items until the next meeting. Motion was made and seconded to delay this matter as requested by the City Engineer. Motion carried unanimously. 10. Presentation of conceptual development plan for The Market Complex. Mayor Hurley recognized Mr. David Rowland of Fayetteville Progress, Inc., who displayed drawings of the proposed Market and presented statistics to the Council concerning the activity. Following Mr. Rowland's presentation, Mrs. Evans stated that this was one of the most exciting things to happen in the City. Mr. Wofford asked about the placement of the Cupola and this was pointed out to them by Mr. Rowland. Mayor Hurley then thanked Mr. Rowland for the presentation. 11. Consideration of awarding contracts for renovation of 222 Hay Street as Transit Information Center. Award of the low bid subject to concurrence by UMTA and NCDOT was recommended. Assistant City Manager Roger Stancil presented this matter and displayed drawings (a memo of Mr. Stancil's presentation is attached to the original of these minutes). Following the presentation, Mr. Dawkins offered motion to follow the recommendation of City Administration and approve the contracts. Motion seconded by Mr. Wofford and carried unanimously. 12. Consideration of a report from Mr. Billy Rose concerning the width of Sycamore Dairy Road relocation. The City Manager presented this matter and stated that the bottom line of the NCDOT decision is that if the roadway is to have five lanes, then the City must pay the extra cost. The NCDOT staff has estimated this cost at $25,000 for construction with another $75,000 for right-of-way for two parcels of land at the intersection of McPherson Church Road. The remainder of the right-of-way, as planned, is adequate for the five lane facility. Following discussion of this matter, Mr. McBryde offered motion to proceed with four lanes only, seconded by Mrs. Felton and carried unanimously. Mayor Hurley then paused in the business of the meeting to recognize other Scouts in the audience. They were Troop 704 from Ft. Bragg and Troop 706 from Highland Presbyterian Church. 13.

RESOLUTION REAFFIRMING POLICY ON EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY FOR THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA. RESOLUTION NO. R1985-37. 18. Appointments: A. Nominations to fill one vacancy on the Recreation and Parks Commission. Mr. Dawkins nominated Mr. William G. Johnston, Jr., presently Athletic Director of Fayetteville City Schools. There were no other nominations and Mayor Hurley stated this item would be reconsidered at the next meeting of the Council. 19. Delegations: Mayor Hurley recognized Mr. Clinton Harris, a local citizen, who commented on a building being built at 2800 Raeford Road and stated that he was concerned about the absence of sidewalk construction at this location. The City Engineer stated that the construction is entirely on the property owners property and he chooses not to install sidewalks. Mr. Harris also commented on sidewalks at the new Bordeaux Library and stated that he hoped they were in the plans for construction. 20. Administrative Reports: A. Discussion of cemetery operations. The City Manager presented this matter and stated it was not for action tonight. He stated the ordinance changes the municipal code and that the City Attorney has not had the opportunity to review it as yet. He presented Council with some information from his memorandum in the agenda packet. He stated the Council may wish to consider this at the Information Meeting. Mr. Wofford suggested that Council consider this matter at the Information Meeting and this was agreeable. B. Annexation. The City Manager presented this matter and stated that in a memorandum from Assistant City Manager Roger Stancil, he stated during the past few months, we have received several petitions for annexation into the City of Fayetteville. We have been presenting these petitions to Council who has been acting on them. One problem that this causes concerns the required review of annexations by the U.S. Department of Justice. It is my understanding that they have sixty days to comment on each annexation. Every time a new annexation is submitted for their review, the sixty day time period begins again. Obviously, if we continue to annex areas into the City of Fayetteville by petition, this review process could be extended indefinitely. In order for us to get some understanding of the Department of Justice's position on our annexations, we recommend that the Council place a moratorium on action concerning annexation petitions until an opinion on these annexations already submitted is received. This action by Council would also help us to avoid the appearance that the staff might be thwarting the public's right to petition Council for annexation. There are currently two petitions for annexation in process. The process for these petitions can be concluded by the March 4th Council meeting. We therefore recommend that the Council adopt this moratorium effective after the March 4th Council meeting. The City Council agreed to a temporary moratorium on this matter. C. Discussion of process for funding outside agencies in 1985-86 Budget. The City Manager presented this matter and stated that during the Council discussion of the recommended budget for 1984-85, there was some discussion of changing the method by which outside organizations request funds from the City of Fayetteville. Our current budget calendar calls for us to send instructions for making budget requests to outside agencies on February 15th. Before we send these instructions, however, we thought that the Council might wish to discuss this issue and make any changes in the process they wish. We can then notify the outside agencies of any changes. Mrs. Evans suggested that City Council do as we have done in the past. Mr. Wofford stated we would accept suggestions to compete for funds available. There was then some further discussion of the matter. Following this discussion, the City Manager suggested placing a notice in newspaper so that all agencies could be aware of the process. D. Report on the paving of Gale Street. The City Engineer presented this matter and stated that at the last Council meeting, the need for paving Gale Street was discussed. This street serves primarily as a City cemetery access road. The estimated cost for paving the street from Ann Street to the eastern margin of the cemetery property is $36,000. This is for a narrow, two-lane asphalt street without underground drainage. Cumberland County owns property abutting Gale Street for about 560 feet along the north side. The County does not presently utilize Gale Street for access to the County Landfill; and, we do not believe they propose any use of their property that would require access from Gale Street. With this in mind, the City may want to proceed with the paving without assessing the County. If, however, the County is to be assessed, a public hearing should be set for March 18, 1985, to consider the assessment. We recommend approval of the project so that it can be included in the next street construction contract. There was then some discussion of the matter and Mr. Wofford suggested that we not charge the County any assessment, but that garbage trucks not be permitted to use the street through the cemeteries. Following some further discussion, Mr. McBryde offered motion to pave the street and that we not assess the County but prohibit garbage trucks from using this cemetery street. Motion seconded by Mrs. Felton and carried unanimously. E. Report of statement of taxes from Cumberland County Tax Collector. The City Manager reported to Council that such statement for the month of January 1985 had been received and receipt of it should be noted in the minutes of this meeting. The Clerk was so directed. F. Set Information Meeting for February 25, 1985. The City Manager stated that this Information Meeting on February 25, 1985, is the regular information meeting and it was so set by City Council. Mrs. Evans informed the Council that the Policy Committee had met this morning and had discussed sidewalk policy and that this can be a discussion at the Information Meeting also. 21. Matters of Interest to the City Council: Mr. Wofford issued a welcome to Mrs. Felton. Mrs. Evans also issued a welcome to Mrs. Felton. Mr. Dawkins also issued a welcome to Mrs. Felton. Mr. Dawkins suggested that the City Engineer or someone take a look at the rusting rails on the Maiden Lane bridge and see if something could be done about them. Mr. McBryde and Mr. Jones also issued a welcome to Mrs. Felton to the Council. Mr. Jones stated that no parking signs are needed in the Rowan Street parking lot since he had receive a complaint that a park user had received a citation recently. Mr. Jones also informed the City Engineer that the City streets are in bad shape and need attention. Mayor Hurley then recognized the newest Council Member, Mrs. Felton and asked if she had remarks to make. Mrs. Felton stated that she was glad to be here and that she will be more verbal the next meeting. Mayor Hurley stated to Mrs. Felton that he was happy to have her on the Council and invited to come by his office at any time to discuss the activities of City government. Mayor Hurley noted that the posts are going up on the downtown Hay Street Mall. Mayor Hurley informed Council that on Friday, February 22, 1985, between the hours of 4:00 and 5:00 p.m., a reception would be held in the Kyle House honoring the Reverend Aaron Johnson. Everyone is invited to attend and a special invitation has been issued to Reverend Johnson's church congregation, the Mount Sinai Baptist Church. Mayor Hurley then issued thanks to the Police Officer for being present for the meeting this evening. Thereafter, all matters of business having been completed, this meeting was adjourned at 8:45 p.m. upon motion made and duly seconded.

Council next heard a presentation of the 1983-84 Audit Report by John Smith, City Manager. Councilmember Evans then presented a report from the Policy Committee. She reported that the committee recommended that the City concentrate its efforts on sidewalks on major arterials. They also requested that in future sidewalk bids 4˝" width sidewalks be bid as alternates to determine any savings by this reduction in width. She also indicated that the committee had requested increased enforcement on new construction to safeguard the City's right-of-way from encroachment. She also discussed the recommendation that the City's sidewalk policy be advertised and a recommendation that the City funds for sidewalks be invested only in arterial sidewalks and that the participation program with private developers be temporarily delayed. Councilmember Evans expressed her disagreement with this proposal. Councilmember Evans also reported on the committee discussion of a 25 mile per hour speed limit in residential areas, a proposed tree ordinance for trees in the public right-of-way and a proposed clean builders program.

Setting a public hearing ordering installation of water system and sanitary sewer system in Eunice Drive without petition. Adoption of the resolutions and setting a public hearing for March 18, 1985, were recommended. The City Engineer presented this matter and stated that Eunice Drive was dedicated by recorded plat of Pine Park Subdivision in 1956. At that time, the area was outside the City; and the street was never paved and neither has any utilities been extended along the street. The City has received a request from Mr. W. T. Hall to accept the street for maintenance; and he advises that he would also desire water and sewer. There was one additional residence on the street which is presently served by well and septic tank. The street is 50' wide; therefore, meets the City standard for a residential street. We recommend acceptance of the street for maintenance purposes and setting a public hearing to consider ordering the installation of water distribution system and sanitary sewer collection system from Law Road to the northeast corner of Lot 15, Pine Park Subdivision, as recorded in Plat Book 19, Page 78. The remainder of the Subdivision is in a different water shed and requires a different sanitary sewer outfall for PWC. We have had no requests at this time for street maintenance or water and sewer service for this remaining portion. There was some discussion of this matter. Following this discussion, Mr. Wofford offered motion for the adoption of both resolutions, seconded by Mr. Dawkins and carried unanimously. RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ACCEPTANCE OF A PORTION OF EUNICE DRIVE. RESOLUTION NO. R1985-38. PRELIMINARY RESOLUTION ORDERING AN EXTENSION OF THE SANITARY SEWER COLLECTION SYSTEM AND WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM OF THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE NORTH CAROLINA INTO EUNICE DRIVE. RESOLUTION NO. R1985-39. 4. Consideration of joint agreement with Cumberland County and Chamber of Commerce for membership on and participation in Economic Development Board. The City Manager presented this matter and stated that Mr. Billy Clark could not be present this evening. He then stated that on July 1, 1984, the Chamber of Commerce and the County of Cumberland entered into an agreement establishing an economic development board. Representation on the board consists of two representatives from the Board of County Commissioners, two from the Chamber of Commerce, two from local utilities, and two from local industries. The County Manager, the Treasurer of the Chamber of Commerce, and the President of Fayetteville Technical Institute also serve as ex-officio members. The City of Fayetteville is not represented. Several weeks ago, the Chairman of the Board, Billy Clark along with Mr. Cobby Reaves and Dr. Charles Speegle, contacted Mayor Hurley to discuss the possibility of City representation on the Economic Development Board and coordination of City economic development activities with the County-wide activities of the Board. After considerable discussion, it was agreed that the City would be invited to become part of the organization. Under the proposed structure, the City would have one voting board member (the Mayor or his designee), and the City Manager would serve as an ex-officio member. It is further requested that the City appropriate $20,000 to the organization in the 1984-85 Fiscal Year Budget. The County currently contributes $59,904 annually. I strongly recommend that the City accept this invitation. I recommend that the Council endorse the concept of City participation and instruct City staff to negotiate an agreement within the parameters outlined in this memorandum, and bring that agreement back to the City Council for final action at a future date. There was then some discussion of this matter. Following this discussion, Mr. Dawkins offered motion to follow the foregoing recommendation of the City Manager, seconded by Mr. McBryde and carried unanimously. 5. Consideration of contract with Economics Research Associates for assistance in securing private investment in implementation of Parks Master Plan. The recommended action was to authorize the City Manager to execute the contract. The City Manager presented this matter and stated that the contract attached to his memo is the proposed contract for services with Economics Research Associates recommended by the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission. The proposal for services was presented to you by Jack Wilson at your January information meeting. I am recommending one change to the contract regarding expenses which is to delete the 10% additive on actual expenses, such as travel, meals, and other matters. Funds for this contract are available in Capital Projects Ordinance CAP-3 which is a general revenue sharing project that we are ready to close out. If you approve the contract, I will bring back to you a new project ordinance in the amount of $45,000 to begin implementation of the Master Plan. Mrs. Evans stated she felt this is premature in view of the other projects being considered at this time. Mr. Dawkins stated that money is short and the City cannot afford this at this time. Mr. Jones stated that the Council should finish what we have started first. Mr. McBryde stated the Council needs to take another look. He stated this may take a bond issue. Mr. Wofford suggested placing this matter in next year's budget. Mayor Hurley stated he was in favor of approving this contract. Mrs. Evans then moved to table this matter, seconded by Mrs. Felton and carried, Mr. Dawkins and Mayor Hurley voting against the motion. 6. Consideration of amendment to the Cemetery Ordinance and schedule of fees. Adoption of the amendment was recommended. The City Manager presented this matter. (His memo and the fee schedule are attached to the original minutes of this meeting). The City Attorney stated the proper motion would be to repeal Chapter 10 in its entirety and adopt the new ordinance and that it be in the form prescribed by Section 1-6 of the City Code. Following some discussion, Mrs. Evans moved for adoption of the ordinance and the new fee schedule, effective April 1, 1985. Motion seconded by Mr. Dawkins and carried unanimously. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 10, “CEMETERIES", OF THE FAYETTEVILLE CITY CODE OF ORDINANCES. ORDINANCE NO. S1985-2. Mayor Hurley then recognized representatives from the Junior League in the audience. 7. Appointments: A. Nominations to fill three vacancies on the Human Services Commission. Mr. McBryde nominated Dr. Eldon Tietje. Mrs. Evans nominated Dr. William Bell, incumbent. Mr. Jones nominated James Flanders. Mayor Hurley nominated Barbara Hammonds, incumbent. Mayor Hurley stated these nominees would be considered again at the next meeting. B. Election of Mr. William G. Johnston, Jr. to the Advisory Recreation and Parks Commission. Mr. Dawkins moved the appointment by acclamation of Mr. William G. Johnston, Jr. and it was unanimous. (Mr. Johnston's appointment is to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of B. T. McNeill, said term to run to October 1986). 8. Delegations or individuals wishing to address Council: Mayor Hurley recognized Mr. Matthew Smith who stated that on February 22, 1985, members of the Recreation and Parks Commission came to Park Street in Haymount and removed 48 plants, azaleas, dogwood and others that had been planted by the residents of that street in the parkway. This was done at the request of a resident of that street, not a property owner, without the knowledge or consent of any of the property owners on the street. Park Street is where I was born and raised he stated. My parents live there still as they have for 56 years. My father and myself went up and spoke with the people and asked them to please stop until we could find out why this was being done. A call was made to the Recreation and Parks Department and Mr. Barefoot came up at 2:00 p.m. and met with us. The City has never participated in the upkeep of these plants. Mr. Barefoot stated that Mr. Steve Nimocks, a resident of the street had asked Recreation and Parks to clean up the center area of the street. The cold weather had taken its toll on these plants, of course, and the property owners had not had time to look after them. Recreation and Parks had dug the plants up. The dogwoods cannot be replanted. Mr. Barefoot was very apologetic, and was under the impression that Mr. Nimocks was speaking for the entire street and had a petition. This never materialized. The damage has been done. I am not asking City Council to reconstruct what has been destroyed. There was an offer to replant he stated. We are all trying to make the City a better place in which to live. Mr. Barefoot has said there are no plans to do anything until a petition is presented to Recreation and Parks. Mr. Smith asked that in the future assurances be taken that requests of this nature be checked completely to avoid this ever happening again. Mayor Hurley thanked Mr. Smith for his remarks. Mr. Wofford suggested that the City Manager check into this matter and come back to Council with a recommendation. 9. Administrative Reports: A. Scheduled meeting of Streets, Roads and Transportation Committee. The City Manager suggested the setting of a meeting. Mr. Dawkins set the meeting for 7:00 p.m., Wednesday, March 13 at the Kyle House. 10. Matters of Interest to Council: Mr. Wofford stated he had noticed the ad in the paper on the outside agency funding and stated it was a good ad. Mr. Wofford suggested that Council give serious consideration to the unsightly appearance of our City streets. Also, the trash on the streets is frown the fast-food type operations. He suggested a tax be imposed by the State Legislature on these places. He suggested discussion at an information meeting in the near future. Mrs. Evans stated in reply that she does not believe we can single out one group for this. Mr. Dawkins suggested an educational program to solve this problem of street litter. He stated the Clean Community is attempting to do this. Mrs. Felton stated we really need to educate the people, since the fast food people are only selling their product, and are not directly responsible for the litter. Mayor Hurley asked the City Attorney if the City could enact a local litter ordinance. The City Attorney replied in the negative since there was already a state law. The Mayor asked if the City police are empowered to enforce it. The City Attorney replied that they are but they must see the offense. Mr. Jones stated he had received several calls about starting the paving on Orange Street. He stated he wants to see all other streets slated for paving up for bids as soon as possible. Mr. Jones stated he had received calls about father-son employees in the City. The City Manager was asked to explain the City policy on this. He stated the policy generally discourages employing family members in the same department, particularly where one is in a supervisory position over the other. Mr. Jones stated the Blind Center is only furnishing transportation four days a week to its workers. It was suggested contacting the agency providing the bus service since it was very much needed every day. Mayor Hurley called attention of the Council to a letter in the agenda packet from a private citizen concerning City taxicabs. He cited several instances in which our taxi service is deficient and stated our cabs are a reflection of our City. The City Attorney suggested non-exclusive types of franchises to help the problem. He stated he would come back with a recommendation. This was discussed for several minutes and it was decided the Policy Committee would meet with the City Attorney to consider this matter. Mr. McBryde then offered motion for an Executive Session at 8:50 p.m. to consider a litigation matter only, seconded by Mr. Dawkins and carried unanimously. Mayor Hurley adjourned the Executive Session at 9:10 p.m., reconvened into Regular Session and recognized the City Attorney. The City Attorney recommended that the City Council authorize legal representation for Jimmie R. Cook in four separate cases in Eastern District of North Carolina, 84-1059, 1060, 1061, and 1062 in the Raleigh Division. I find that his representation meets the requirements of Section 2-60 of the Fayetteville City Code and that he was acting in the course and scope of his employment at the time alleged in the complaint. The name of the case is Autry vs. Dahnke. Mr. McBryde moved to authorize legal representation as recommended by the City Attorney. Motion seconded by Mr. Jones and carried unanimously. Thereafter all matters of business having been completed, this meeting was adjourned at 9:15 p m. upon motion made and duly seconded.

Planner Al Mitchell presented this matter and stated the Planning Board recommended conditional approval per their memo in the agenda package. Mr. McBryde stated he had been contacted by some residents in the area who asked about a hedge around the property. Mr. Walter Moorman, consulting engineer for the project, stated the plan is to install some foliage around the project. He stated that most buildings are removed from other structures with Number 6 and Number 7 being the only exceptions. Mr. Moorman stated the developer has a good record and will cooperate. Following some discussion, Mr. Wofford offered motion for approval of the foregoing as recommended by the Planning Board, seconded by Mrs. Evans and carried unanimously. 2. Public Hearings: A. Consideration of the issuance of a Downtown Loan to Thorpe and Clark, Attorneys, for the sum of $45,000 (restoration of Cool Spring Tavern). Approval was recommended. City Attorney Cogswell informed Council that the applicant had requested a continuance of this matter. Mr. Wofford then moved to continue this public hearing to the next regular meeting of the City Council, seconded by Mr. McBryde and carried unanimously. B. Consideration of revision to the Subdivision Ordinance. Approval was recommended. Planner Al Mitchell Presented this matter and stated the subdivision amendments were discussed by City Council on January 28, 1984, and the planning staff was recommended to prepare the amendment and schedule a public hearing. Mr. Mitchell stated the amendment would delegate to the planning staff the review and approval of all plats and plans except if there is a controversy. Mr. Walter Moorman was recognized in favor of the proposed changes and requested approval. There was no opposition present. Mr. McBryde then moved for approval by the adoption of the amending ordinance, seconded by Mr. Dawkins and carried unanimously. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 27, “SUBDIVISIONS", OF THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE CODE OF ORDINANCES. ORDINANCE NO. S1985-3. C. Consideration of adoption of a resolution ordering the closing of Berma Court. Adoption of the resolution was recommended. The City Engineer presented this matter and stated that it was by request of the developer. He stated this matter had been advertised as required. He stated Berma Court is a cul-de-sac street running westwardly off McPherson Avenue. It was dedicated by recording a plat in 1956. Mr. Russell Davenport owns all of the property abutting Berma Court, including the Davenport Apartment project. His plans are to add twelve additional dwelling units on the site; and, to eliminate Berma Court as a public street. The project has adequate frontage along McPherson Avenue. We recommend approval of his request my adopting the resolution. The resolution reserves an easement to the City for the existing utilities. Mr. Davenport of 2509 Morganton Road was recognized and requested approval. There was no opposition present. Following some discussion, Mr. McBryde offered motion for approval of the foregoing by adoption of the resolution, seconded by Mr. Dawkins and carried unanimously. RESOLUTION AND ORDER CLOSING BERMA COURT. RESOLUTION NO. R1985-42. This concluded the public hearings. 3. Consideration of authorization of advertisement for upset bid on surplus Honda Motorcycle (1978) Serial Number CB750K2815456 under N.C.G.S. 160A-269. (Continued from March 4, 1985 meeting). Authorization of advertisement was recommended. The City Manager presented this matter and stated that at the last meeting the question was raised as to how the bid on the motorcycle came about. There was no advertisement of the motorcycle. Several offers have been made, the highest being $300. Mr. McGugan did not feel these offers worth accepting and advertising since the high bid at the auction was $900. Seven hundred dollars is however, a fair offer and Mr. McGugan felt that this offer should be advertised. Upset bids are a perfectly legal and acceptable way to dispose of surplus property. I would suggest that we accept the offer and advertise in the classified section of the paper. If there are other interested parties, they can offer an upset bid. Mrs. Evans offered motion to authorize the advertisement, seconded by Mr. Jones and carried unanimously. At this point in the meeting, Mayor Hurley stated he had forgot to mention that the City Attorney had requested an Executive Session at the end of this meeting for litigation matter. 4. Consideration of amendment to Resolution authorizing City Manager to execute UMTA Grant applications. Adoption of the amended resolution was recommended. Assistant City Manager Roger Stancil presented this matter and stated that in the past, these resolutions have referred to specific sections of the UMTA of 1964 and to the specific activities funded by those sections (capital, operating, and planning projects). The amended resolution covers every section and every type of project for which we applied. The adoption of this resolution would simplify the application process. We would continue to seek Council authorization for each application and allocation of appropriate matching funds. Adoption of the resolution is recommended he concluded. Following brief discussion, Mr. McBryde offered motion for adoption of the resolution, seconded by Mrs. Evans and carried unanimously. AUTHORIZING RESOLUTION - UMTA GRANT APPLICATIONS. RESOLUTION NO. R1985-43. 5. Consideration of appointment of steering committee to review human service transportation. Recommended action was adoption of a joint resolution with Cumberland County Board of Commissioners. Assistant City Manager Roger Stancil presented this matter and stated that human service transportation in the Fayetteville/ Cumberland County urbanized area is a highly de-centralized system with agencies providing transportation to their own clients through private vehicles, agency vans, and various arrangements with public and private transportation providers. A preliminary study prepared by the Joint Planning Board indicated that there is some potential for a coordinated transportation system that will reduce this duplication of effort and maximize the return on our transportation investment. There have been several attempts in the past to implement a transportation system for this purpose. These attempts have not proven successful. We recommend, therefore, that the Board of Commissioners and the City Council jointly appoint a steering committee of representatives from appropriate agencies to study this issue and make recommendations to the governing bodies within six months. He requested adoption of the joint resolution. Following brief discussion, Mr. Dawkins offered motion for approval of the foregoing by adoption of the resolution as recommended, seconded by Mrs. Felton and carried unanimously. JOINT RESOLUTION. RESOLUTION NO. R1985-44. 6. Consideration of Streets and Roads Committee recommendation for: (a). Sidewalk Projects (b). List of streets for resurfacing. (c). Establish bus lane on 400 Block of Hay Street. Recommended action was adoption of a and b and discussion of c. Mr. Dawkins stated the Committee did meet and was unanimous on a and b, but had no consensus on c. He stated cost of the sidewalks will be approximately $240,000. The following is the Sidewalk Program Fiscal Year 1984-85. I. Approved Commitments: A. Murchison Road (West Side), from Mt. Sinai Homes to Filter Plant Drive. B. Woodsland Subdivision (Participation) C. Servco Service Station - Owen Drive (Participation) Subtotal - $71,100 II. Sidewalk Repair: A. Russell Street (Both Sides), from Robeson Street to Eastern Boulevard B. Person Street (Both Sides), from Market Square to Eastern Boulevard. C. Grove Street (Both Sides), from St. James Square to Eastern Boulevard. D. Reserve for Spot/Emergency Repairs. Subtotal - $54,000 III. Proposed New Sidewalk Construction: A. Village Drive (South Side), from Bordeaux Motor Inn to Boone Trail (Participation). B. 10 Bus Stop Pads C. Rosehill Road (West Side), from Ramsey Street to Northern Property Line of Rosehill Gardens (additional R/W needed). D. Ramsey Street (West Side), from Hillsboro Street to Quincy Street. E. Ramsey Street (West Side), from Langdon Street to Rosehill Road. F. Skycrest Drive (South Side), in front of Glendale Acres Elementary School. G. Hillview Avenue (South Side), from Soodars Elementary School to Ramsey Street. H. Old Wilmington Road (North Side), at West End of Walker/Spivey School Property. I. Albany Street (North Side) at E. E. Smith High School. J. Rosehill Road (East Side), from Ramsey Street to Northeast Boundary of Hillside Manor Retirement Development. K. Winslow Street (East Side), from Franklin Street to Russell Street. L. Russell Street (North Side), from City Parking Lot at TV40 Building to Maxwell Street. M. Purchase (8) additional feet of right-of-way on South Side of Morganton Road, from Lots #817 and #816, Total 319.10 LF. N. Developer Participation - Various Developments O. 500 Block Hay Street Improvements Grand Total - $240,000 (Copies of the foregoing and a list of the proposed street resurfacing are on file in the office of the City Engineer and the City Clerk). Mrs. Evans suggested that Council consider a and b together. Mr. Wofford commented that the Committee had done a good job. He stated he was critical of the location of some sidewalks, however. He suggested a look at Northview and Morganton Road. There was then some discussion of the matter. Mrs. Evans then moved for approval of a and b as presented, seconded by Mr. McBryde and carried unanimously. (c). Establish bus lane on 400 Block of Hay Street. The City Manager presented this matter and stated that with the completion of the Olde Fayetteville Commons Mall in the near future, the traffic operations in the 400 Block of Hay Street has been reviewed in relation to the Transit Mall. The establishment of this exclusive bus lane would require the revision of on-street parking in this block of Hay Street. Parking on the southside could be increased from 21 to 24, while the 13 spaces on the northside would be eliminated to provide the additional traffic lane. The foregoing represents alternate one, he commented. Alternates two and three are in the agenda packet. The City Engineer displayed projections of the proposals, alternates one, two, and three. Mr. McBryde stated he was opposed to the removal of any more parking on Hay Street. He suggested that this be held in abeyance until Ray Avenue is opened. The businesses downtown need the spaces he concluded. Mr. Dawkins suggested the acceptance of alternate #3 (signing). Mr. McBryde then moved for approval of alternate #3 (signing). Motion seconded by Mr. Dawkins and carried unanimously. Mr. Wofford suggested changing the signs to read “Buses and Parking Only". (Copies of all of the foregoing are on file in the offices of the City Engineer and City Clerk). 7. Consideration of a request from First Citizens Bank to improve safety of vehicles exiting from the bank parking deck onto Old Street. (a) Adoption of parking prohibited ordinance, Schedule #11. (b) Amendment to parking zones, Schedule #13. The City Engineer presented this matter and stated that in a letter from First Citizens Bank they stated their desire for certain changes in traffic operations along Old Street. We agree that the sight distance for cars entering Old Street from First Citizens parking deck is very short and should be improved by the elimination of one parking space on the west side of the deck driveway. We do not believe the elimination of all parking on Old Street is necessary at this time. About a year ago, we studied protective left turning movements at Green-Bow/Old Street intersection and did not find it warranted at that time. Since the study was made, we note there have been several suggestions by citizens and Councilmembers alike that a protected left turn would be a desirable feature. We propose to review this again in the immediate future, and will ask NCDOT's local traffic engineer for assistance in this review. Following brief discussion, Mrs. Evans offered motion to follow the recommendation of the City Engineer on the elimination of the one parking space by the adoption of the two ordinances. Motion seconded by Mr. Dawkins and carried, Mr. Wofford voting no. AN ORDINANCE OF TUE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA SECTION 20-106 OF THE CITY CODE, TRAFFIC SCHEDULE #11 - “PARKING PROHIBITED". ORDINANCE NO. NS1985-7. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA SECTION 20-106 OF THE CITY CODE, TRAFFIC SCHEDULE #13 - “PARKING ZONES". ORDINANCE NUMBER NS1985-8. Following the foregoing action and in a matter related to it, Mr. Jones requested the City Engineer to measure the median in Green Street at Bow and Old Streets to see if there is enough room for two cars. The City Engineer stated he would and would make a report to the Council. 8. Consideration of a 90-day extension on the Lease Agreement between the City of Fayetteville and Crescent Development Corporation regarding the Municipal Market. Recommended action was to authorize advertisement. The City Manager presented this matter and stated that Crescent Development Corporation is requesting a 90-day extension on the lease from March 31, 1985 to June 30, 1985. Crescent is working to obtain suitable permanent financing for the project he stated. Within two weeks, he said they should have floor plans and completed proforma which they can take to the banks. He stated they feel positive about their progress and would be glad to furnish whatever information is needed to substantiate this request. He stated there was also a report in the packet from Mr. David Rowland of Fayetteville Progress giving a status report on the conditions relevant to the commencement of the market lease. The City Manager recommended approval of the advertisement. Following brief discussion, Mr. McBryde moved to authorize the advertisement according to N.C.G.S 160A-269. Motion seconded by Mr. Jones and carried unanimously. 9. Consideration of demolition ordinance for structure located at 224 Davis Street. Adoption of the ordinance was recommended. Council recognized Mr. Walter Haire, of the Inspections Department who presented this matter and stated that Community Development will loan the funds to the owner to correct the conditions if he can qualify. Council recognized Mr. Thomas Matthews, 224 Davis Street, the owner, who stated he was out of work but was now back to work and has tried to borrow the necessary funds but does not know if it will be approved. He requested an extension. Mrs. Evans moved for a 60-day extension on this matter for Mr. Matthews to secure a permit. Motion seconded by Mrs. Felton and carried unanimously. 10. Consideration of demolition ordinance for structure located at 1040 Southern Avenue. Adoption of the ordinance was recommended. Mr. Walter Haire was again recognized, presented this matter and recommended demolition. Mr. Conrad Lee, a part owner of the property was recognized and stated the building was only used for storage and the lower part for an incidental sewing operation. He stated it was his and the other owner's intention to sell the property. He requested time to contact the other owners who are scattered far and wide prior to any action by Council. The City Attorney recommended to Council that all heirs should be notified before any action is taken. Council took no action on the foregoing matter. 11. Consideration of ordinance amending Chapter 14 and Chapter 16 of the Fayetteville City Code (administrative fees for clearing vacant lots and demolition of buildings). Adoption of the ordinance with effective date of April 1, 1985, was recommended. The City Manager presented this matter and stated that the question had come up recently with Council about additional administrative fees to the demolition of buildings fee. A study had been made by the Inspections Department and it was recommended that two fees be adopted effective April 1st. The one for vacant lots in the amount of $25.00, and the one for building demolition $75.00. Following brief discussion, Mrs. Evans offered motion for adoption of the ordinance, seconded by Mr. Wofford. The City Attorney then informed Council that there must be a change made in the wording in Section 16-50(a) for better clarification. There was then some discussion of this matter. The City Attorney then requested a continuance of this matter. Council took no action. 12. Appointments: A. Elections to fill three vacancies on the Human Services Commission. (4 nominees). City Council then cast their votes and the following were appointed: Dr. Eldon Tietje, James E. Flanders, and Barbara Hammonds. The foregoing appointments were for two year terms of office each, said terms to run to March 1987. 13. Delegations or individuals wishing to address Council: Council recognized Mr. Clinton Harris a local citizen, who extended thanks to the Streets and Roads Commission for the funds for the sidewalks. He requested additional funds for sidewalks in the budget and for funds for grading of sidewalks. He also requested funds for the purchase of property for sidewalks as in the recent Raeford Road case. He requested Council remove the bump at the old railroad crossing on Morganton Road. Council then recognized Reverend Johnny Banks, who raised a question on the City building code. He stated he lives in senior citizens apartments located in Tara Gardens off Law Road. He stated the heating system in the apartments is gas and he is concerned about exits in the case of fire. It was his contention that when the apartments were constructed, insufficient exits were provided in the case of fire. Mayor Hurley informed Rev. Banks that the apartments were constructed according to the State Building Code, however, he stated he would have the matter looked into. The Clerk was instructed to call the Buildings Inspector tomorrow AM and have him contact Rev. Banks concerning this matter and check the code requirements. The City Manager stated he would report back to the Council at the next meeting on this matter. Council also recognized Bettie Joe Goodenough who informed Council that the new trees recently planted on the Mall are very pretty. She also stated that she had a complaint concerning the riding of bicycles and mopeds along the sidewalks which are a problem and a hazard to pedestrians. She requested that signs be installed prohibiting this practice. Mayor Hurley informed Mrs. Goodenough that he will have the Police Department check this out. 14. Administrative Reports: A. Report of taxes from Cumberland County Tax Collector. The City Manager stated that this was being reported to Council and that it be made a matter of record in these minutes. B. Report of plant removal from Park Street. The City Manager stated in a memo that in order to improve the overall appearance of the City, the Parks and Recreation Department has been taking over maintenance of median strips that were previously under Street Division jurisdiction. The Park Street situation arose out of a citizen complaint that the median was not being maintained. The median is City property and the action taken was an attempt by Parks and Recreation to take over and maintain a piece of City property that was not being adequately maintained. The memo from the Parks Horticulturist dated January 8, 1985, attached to this memo indicates that the City Horticulturist did a study of the median and recommended to the Parks Division what needed to be done. The result was that the City became caught in the middle of a dispute between neighbors. I believe the solution at this point is for the City to meet with the residents, present its plans, make reasonable modifications and then proceed. There was then some discussion of this matter and Mr. Wofford stated that he disagrees with the recommendation of the Horticulturist that except for the upper end of the first median (which is grass) the whole area should remain in a natural straw mulch. Mr. McBryde suggested replacing the plants which were removed. Following some further discussion, Mayor Hurley suggested a meeting of the Buildings and Properties Committee with residents of the street and with the City Horticulturist in order to come to an agreement. Mr. McBryde, chairman of the Commission stated he would schedule such a meeting. C. Report on proposed restoration of the Market House. The City Manager stated the 1984-85 Budget included plans to paint the Market House. However, as you will note from the additional information included, the Market House has some thirty layers of paint and is in need of more serious attention. A representative of the N.C. Department of History and Archives will be meeting with Mr. McGugan next week. Hopefully we can get a recommendation as to the best course to take. It appears that just another layer of paint would be a waste of money. He stated he would bring back a recommendation to Council. Mr. Wofford suggested that a look also be taken at the old Train Station on Hay Street. The City Manager informed Council that there was no need for an information meeting this month. Mr. Wofford then offered motion to cancel the information meeting for March 25, seconded by Mr. Dawkins and carried unanimously. 15. Matters of Interest to the Council: Mr. Jones stated that the extension of Longview Drive had been renamed Carol Street. He stated there are two Carol Streets in the City and that the residents of the one at the end of Longview Drive are not receiving their mail. He suggested changing the name back to Longview Drive. Planner Al Mitchell stated that he would check this out and report back to Council. Mr. Jones asked how far are we advanced with the Prince Charles Hotel. The City Manager replied that the loan was due to close in December 1984. However, it did not. He stated the developer had submitted new budget figures to HUD and that they are in contact with another bank to negotiate the loan. Mr. McBryde stated that he had received a call from a lady in Eutaw Place concerning two businesses operating out of residences. He stated that this caused some problems and suggested a rewriting of the ordinance about businesses operating in homes. Mr. Dawkins wished his son, Johnny, a Happy 26th Birthday Anniversary today. Mrs. Evans asked about the status of the Adams Court property. Mr. Cogswell stated no word had been received as yet from Mr. Breswitz. He stated he would attempt to contact him and get information on this property. Mr. Wofford stated he knows someone who is interested in buying this property. Mr. Wofford stated that a citizen had sent him an article from the Kinston newspaper about rates in that City for Cablevision. He stated they were receiving 27 channels, 24 of them basic service, for $8.95 a month. He suggested that the City should take another look at the service being provided by Fayetteville Cablevision. Mayor Hurley that about one year ago Dr. Jack Britt, Superintendent of Cumberland County Schools had contacted him concerning the former Walker School on Elizabethtown Road. Dr. Britt had informed him that the only access to this school was by a dirt path. Dr. Britt had suggested to him the hard surfacing of the road. Mayor Hurley stated that it was understanding that Mr. McCauley, the owner of the property will donate the right-of-way. However, under the City's assessment policy, Mr. McCauley would be assessed for the paving. There was then some discussion of this matter and Mr. Wofford suggested the assessing of the school system for this paving. City Engineer Bob Bennett was asked to comment on this and he suggested the City buying the property for the installation of water and sewer and paving for future development of the location. He stated the estimated cost to do this would be between $100,000 and $200,000. Mayor Hurley then extended thanks to the Police Officer for being present at the meeting this evening. Mr. McBryde then offered motion, seconded by Mrs. Felton that Council adjourn into Executive Session at 9:15 p.m. to consider a litigation matter only. Council then re-entered the Council Chamber and Mayor Hurley adjourned the Executive Session at 10:10 p.m., reconvened the Council into regular session, and adjourned the meeting upon motion made and duly seconded. MEMORANDUM MARCH 11, 1985 MEMORANDUM TO: Cliff Strassenburg, County Manager John P. Smith, City Manager FROM: Allen O'Neal, Assistant County Manager Roger Stancil, Assistant City Manager SUBJECT: Coordinated Human Service Transportation Human service transportation in the Fayetteville/Cumberland County urbanized area to a highly decentralized system with agencies providing transportation to their own clients through private vehicles, agency vans, and various arrangements with public and private transportation providers. We believe that the system as it exists often results in a duplication of efforts and something less than the best use of local, state, and federal funds available for human service transportation. A preliminary study prepared by the Joint Planning Board dated November, 1984, and entitled “An Analysis of Selected Human Service Transportation providers in Cumberland County, North Carolina" indicates that there is some potential for a coordinated transportation system that will reduce this duplication of effort and maximize the return on our transportation investment. There have been several attempts in the past to implement a transportation system for this purpose. These attempts have not proven successful. We believe, however, that a concentrated study by the agencies involved can result in recommendations for successful coordination. The Public Transportation Division of the N.C. Department of Transportation has offered to provide technical assistance in this study. We recommend, therefore, that the Board of Commissioners and the City Council jointly appoint a steering committee of representatives from appropriate agencies to study this issue and make recommendations to the governing bodies within six months. This effort will also allow us to meet the terms and conditions of our transit-related grants that require us to provide human service transportation. A recommended joint resolution is attached. REGULAR MEETING MONDAY, APRIL 1, 1985 REGULAR MEETING CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBER MONDAY, APRIL 1, 1985 7:00 P.M. Present: Mayor Bill Hurley Councilmembers Milton Wofford, Mildred Evans, J. L.

It was recommended to rescind the previous action of October 15, 1984. The City Attorney presented this matter and stated that he has written and spoken to Mr. Jim Breswitz. He stated in a memo to Mr. Breswitz dated April 4, 1985, he had informed him that at the April 1, 1985, Council meeting, the Council had asked that this matter be placed on the agenda for the April 15, 1985, meeting. At that time, they would like to know what your intentions are concerning purchasing the property. As I have stated previously, based upon our most recent appraisal, the sale price would have to be a minimum of $38,450. Since the statute under which the sale was authorized states that the property can not be sold for less than the appraised value, I am of the opinion that the Council cannot legally comply with their previous action. The City Attorney then stated to Council that the first appraisal was $32,800 and the second appraisal was $38,450 and that Council must go by the highest appraisal. There was then some discussion of this matter. Mr. Dawkins then offered motion, seconded by Mr. McBryde to rescind the previous action of the Council of October 15, 1984. The motion carried unanimously. There was then some discussion of this matter and Mr. McBryde stated that he would call a meeting of the Buildings and Property Commission for Monday, April 22, 1985, at 7:00 p.m. in the Kyle House. There was then some further lengthy discussion of this matter and Mrs. Evans moved to adopt a resolution to file a notice with the Register of Deeds that the contract recorded in Book 2975, Page 299, is hereby rescinded by the City of Fayetteville, seconded by Mr. Wofford and carried unanimously. Mayor Hurley then stated that the City Attorney had requested an Executive Session for a litigation matter only at the end of this meeting. 3. Consideration of resolutions authorizing condemnation for street construction projects: (a). Parcel E-1 “C" Street Construction Project (b). Parcel E-2 “C" Street Construction Project (c). Parcel E-3 “C" Street Construction Project (d). Parcel E-4 “C" Street Construction Project (e). Parcel W-2 “C" Street Construction Project (f). Parcel W-3 “C" Street Construction Project (g). Parcel 5-4 Dick Street-Campbell Avenue Construction Project Adoption of the resolutions was recommended. The City Engineer presented this matter and stated that negotiations have taken place over the last several years on these rights-of-way. The full appraised price has been offered to the property owners and rejected.

Change 85-15 (CAP-13) Adoption was recommended. The City Manager presented this matter and stated the purpose of these ordinances and amendments was to close out projects that are completed and current budget projects. He stated none of the amendments involve the appropriation of any new funds. These actions involve only reallocation of balances from one project to another or the allocation of funds in the 84-85 Budget specifically earmarked by City Council for these projects. Many of these involve adjusting project budgets in accordance with prior City Council actions. Mrs. Evans offered motion for approval of the foregoing as recommended, seconded by Mr. Dawkins and carried unanimously. 9. Consideration of request by the Blue Ribbon Sign Commission for removal of unsafe and unlawful signs in the downtown area. The City Manager presented this matter and referred to his memo in the agenda packet stating that the Blue Ribbon Sign Commission wants the City to proceed immediately with the removal of unlawful signs. These signs generally fall into two categories. First are the so called “phantom" signs that no longer advertise an existing business. Second are the non-conforming signs under the new ordinance. The first category can be removed immediately with a thirty day notice. The second category has an amortization period. My recommendation is that we proceed immediately on the “phantom" signs through normal enforcement. This will require no action by the City Council except possibly a small supplemental appropriation that will be replaced later through the collection of liens. The second category of signs will require a longer period of time to get removed. We may wish to consider some kind of incentive program to get these signs down earlier than one year. I would like to have a little more time to work with the staff to explore some ideas as to how best to deal with this second category of signs, however, I see no reason not to proceed immediately with “phantom" sign as well as any that represent a safety hazard. The City Manager stated that this information was in the form of a report and no City Council action is being requested. He recommended that administration proceed with the Inspections Department as soon as possible if there is no objection from Council. Council was in agreement. Mr. Wofford did remind the City Manager that some signs may have some historic value. He requested that this be kept in mind for possible museum display of such signs. 10. Consideration of Adoption of Ordinance regulating traffic and other activities on the Olde Fayetteville Commons. Adoption of the ordinance was recommended. Assistant City Manager Roger Stancil presented this matter and stated the ordinance had been developed by the Transit Wall Management Team to regulate activities on the Olde Fayetteville Commons. He stated this is a new ordinance and is needed for these purposes. There was then a lengthy discussion of the various aspects of the ordinance. Following brief discussion, Mrs. Evans offered motion to adopt the ordinance with a separate fee schedule, seconded by Mr. McBryde and carried unanimously. Following some further brief discussion, Mr. Wofford offered motion to adopt the foe schedule as recommended by the staff, seconded by Mrs. Felton and carried unanimously. The City Attorney then recommended that City Council add an additional paragraph to the ordinance to be in compliance with Section 1-6 of the City Code. Mrs. Evans offered motion to approve the foregoing request of the City Attorney, seconded by Mr. Jones and carried unanimously.

He stated that due to this circumstance no public hearing should be set for June 3 and that the Council meeting should be rescheduled. The City Manager stated that this would be taken under consideration and brought up at a subsequent meeting.

There remains one track crossing McPherson Church Road immediately south of Raeford Road and this crossing is in fair condition. We have voiced our appreciation to A & R Railroad for proceeding with this removal. 22. Matters of Interest to the Council: Mr. Wofford stated that he had heard there is pending litigation concerning the old Civil Service Commission. He asked the staff to check to see if the Council has legal responsibility to help defend any former members of City commissions. This was discussed for several moments with the City Attorney. Mrs. Evans stated that Sunday-on-the-Square was a great success, and afterward all litter was promptly removed and she expressed thanks and appreciation to the Parks and Recreation and Sanitation Departments for the clean-up. Mr. Dawkins stated that the dedication of the Gene Plummer Memorial Bridge was very meaningful and well deserved. Along with Mr. Plummer, Mr. J. W. Pate, Jr. was a very fine Councilman, he also paid tribute to the late Senator Sam Ervin. Mr. McBryde stated that he had become increasingly frustrated with the lack of communications between City Council and City Administration and cited the recent Spell court case. He stated he had to secure information from various sources. He stated he had not received information on meal costs for the City's lawyers. He stated he had not received information on internal briefings on police department internal affairs investigations. He stated the Chief of Police is building his own supply room despite City's central supply system. He stated the Word Processing Center is not being fully utilized. He concluded by stating the City Council needs information on legal expenses, and all of the foregoing is information the City Council needs for its consideration. Mr. McBryde then moved that from now on, every time the Internal Auditor makes a report to the Kyle House about anything, including personnel, it be made in writing and copies go to the City Council and Mayor. Motion seconded by Mr. Dawkins. Following some discussion of this motion, Mayor Hurley called for a vote and it carried, Mayor Hurley voting against. Mr. Jones stated he was led to believe that when a person completed the necessary training for the Police Department they were eligible to be armed to enforce the laws, such as our Park Rangers. We had a rape in Mazarick Park and how would a Ranger approach and stop such a person in this circumstance with mace, radio, and handcuffs. The Rangers should be armed like regular police officers for the protection of park patrons he stated. It will affect a bond issue on the parks of the City too, he stated, because people will not vote for it. Mr. Wofford stated in reply that we should possibly have two Police Departments in the City. Or, if Rangers are to be armed they should be under the Chief of Police, and, if so, City Council should look at this issue. Mrs. Evans stated she does not want to see guns in our City parks. Mayor Hurley stated he was in favor of regulation but not police enforcement. He suggested that City administration check and come back to City Council with a recommendation. Mr. Jones asked if the Police Auxiliary had been disbanded. The City Manager replied that the Chief of Police would like to see an Auxiliary force but an unarmed one. There was then some discussion of this matter. Mayor Hurley then stated that the City Council would like it entered into the minutes of this meeting, that they recognized the untimely death of former City Councilman J. W. Pate, Jr. Mayor Hurley extended thanks to the police officer for being present tonight. Mr. McBryde then offered motion, seconded by Mrs. Evans and carried unanimously that City Council enter into Executive Session for a litigation matter only. Council then reentered the Council Chamber and Mayor Hurley adjourned the Executive Session and reconvened into Regular Session. Mayor Hurley called on the City Attorney for remarks. The City Attorney recommended that City Council authorize the filing of a notice of appeal in the case of Henry Z. Spell vs. the City, Charles McDaniel and others. Mr. Wofford moved to follow the foregoing recommendation of the City Attorney and to file a notice of intent to appeal in the Henry Z. Spell case, seconded by Mr. Jones and carried unanimously. Mayor Hurley stated that concerning the Justice Department's decision on the annexations, what is City Council's pleasure at this time? Mr. Dawkins suggested that the City Manager or City Attorney look into the matter of the elections to discuss with the legislative delegation. Mrs. Evans suggested that the City Council meet to discuss the decision further and as soon as possible and to consider City Council's options. Mr. Wofford then moved that legislation be drafted to allow postponement of the elections until the issue is settled with the Justice Department, seconded by Mr. McBryde and carried unanimously. Mayor Hurley then adjourned this meeting to 8:30 p.m., Wednesday, May 8, 1985, City Hall Council Chamber to discuss the annexation issue. CONTINUATION OF REGULAR MEETING WEDNESDAY, MAY 8, 1985 FAYETTEVILLE CITY COUNCIL CONTINUATION OF REGULAR MEETING CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBER WEDNESDAY, MAY 8, 1985 8:30 P.M.

Cogswell, Jr., City Attorney Absent: Councilmember Milo McBryde (Excused) Mayor Hurley reconvened the meeting of May 6 at 8:30 p.m. The Mayor first asked city Attorney Cogswell to present the letter from the U.S. Department of Justice and the options for the City of Fayetteville. City Attorney Cogswell discussed the letter from the Department of Justice disapproving the 29 annexations. He stated that the City had three options. One, to seek a reversal of the disapproval in District Court in the District of Columbia; two, seek reconsideration of the finding by the Department of Justice; three, develop a different mode of election for the City of Fayetteville that would satisfy the Department of Justice concerns. Councilmember Wofford asked if another option, de-annexation of the areas concerned, were not also a possibility. He stated that his purpose in suggesting this option was to buy adequate time to decide on an election system. City Manager Smith indicated that this would probably involve the de-annexation of all 29 areas. Councilmember Wofford suggested that another option might be to do nothing. Councilmember Felton suggested dividing the City into six districts. Councilmember Dawkins asked if anyone's right to vote had been violated by the City of Fayetteville? City Attorney Cogswell responded no. Councilmember Dawkins stated that people like to vote on all candidates. There then followed a general discussion of possible methods of changing the election system and discussion of the impact of additional annexations on any change made now. Councilmember Evans suggested dividing the City into 3 districts, 2 of those districts with a predominantly black population, and 3 at-large councilmember seats. Councilmember Wofford suggested 4 districts, 2 predominantly black, 2 predominantly white, and 2 at-large seats with the entire City voting on all candidates. Councilmember Evans suggested that the staff investigate the drawing of possible districts. Councilmember Dawkins suggested that we seek advice from experts or from someone who has been through this process. Mayor Hurley stated that he had been delivered a letter from Ms. Henderson of the NAACP requesting that the City Council consider setting up 6 districts. Mr. Clinton Harris then addressed the Council and displayed a map dividing the City into 6 single member districts using the number of registered voters as the basis for his division. He suggested that this method would be the quickest way to get approval by the Department of Justice of a new election plan. Upon motion by Councilmember Dawkins, seconded by Councilmember Felton, the Council voted unanimously to convene into Executive Session at 9:40 p.m. to discuss litigation and personnel. The Council reconvened into Regular Session at 10:35 p.m. Upon motion by Councilmember Dawkins, seconded by Councilmember Wofford, the Council voted unanimously to adjourn.

F. Approval of a resolution setting a Public Hearing for July 1, 1985, to consider closing a portion of Alfalfa Street. PRELIMINARY RESOLUTION AND NOTICE OF INTENT TO CLOSE A PORTION OF ALFALFA STREET. RESOLUTION NO. R1985-63. 2. Report from Revitalization Commission concerning downtown parking alternatives. Mayor Hurley recognized Mr. Horace Thompson, Chairman of the Revitalization Commission in the audience. (See Mr. Thompson's report with the original of these minutes). Mr. Wofford offered comments on a proposed parking deck in the 300 Block of Hay Street. Mrs. Evans offered comments and suggested that City Council take no action at the present time. Mr. Thompson was recognized with comments from his memo, and emphasized not destroying any more front line buildings. There was then general discussion and comments by the Council. Mr. John Rose of the Revitalization Commission was recognized with comments and stated we must have a conceptual plan. Mr. Dohn Broadwell of the Revitalization Commission was recognized with comments. Mr. Clinton Harris, a local citizen, was recognized with comments. Following this discussion, Mr. Wofford moved that we let the City Engineer look into the cost of putting surface parking in the available unused space in the 300 Block of Hay Street where there will be no buildings and also study a lease agreement which we could enter into with the property owners of that land for a five to ten year period with a buffer on Hay Street, then give it to the Revitalization Commission for review. Also, include the Belk property, too, in the 100 Block of Hay Street. Motion seconded by Mrs. Evans and carried, Mr. McBryde abstaining to vote. Mayor Hurley then extended thanks to the Revitalization Commission for their report. 3. Consideration of a Resolution of Application for allocation for private activity bond for the Junior League of Fayetteville for renovation of the Hairr Building, 308 Green Street. Mr. Wofford moved to adopt the resolution, seconded by Mr. McBryde and carried unanimously. RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA APPROVING THE APPLICATION FOR ALLOCATION FOR PRIVATE ACTIVITY BOND. RESOLUTION NO. R1985-64. 4. Consideration of Budget Ordinance Amendment Change 85-7. Adoption was recommended. The City Manager presented this matter and stated that the City Council had received a memo on Friday in explanation. This is basic year-end budget amendments to get everything ready for close-out among the various funds and accounts. Mrs. Evans offered motion to approve the foregoing as recommended, seconded by Mrs. Felton and carried unanimously. 5. Consideration of resolutions concerning transfer of streets from State to City maintenance in newly annexed areas: A. Resolution for accepting certain streets for maintenance as of July 1, 1985. B. Resolution requiring NCDOT to continue maintenance of certain streets and resurfacing by NCDOT. The City Engineer presented this matter and stated in his memo that NCDOT has requested that the City of Fayetteville by resolution request streets within the recently annexed areas that are not on the Thoroughfare Plan be transferred from State to City maintenance. We believe that some of the streets in the College Lakes Subdivision area have been allowed to deteriorate to the extent that they should be resurfaced before the City is required to accept them for maintenance. We suggest that all of the streets that are in areas recently annexed by the City and where utilities are to be constructed, should be transferred from State to City maintenance. The streets in the College Lakes area north of Stacey Weaver Drive already have utilities and the majority of those streets are in a very deteriorated condition. A resolution is attached for official City Council action requesting that these streets remain on the NCDOT system until they are resurfaced. Another resolution is attached to officially sanction the transfer of other neighborhood streets from the State system to City maintenance as of July 1, 1985, Street maps are attached for all of the streets involved. Mr. Wofford offered motion for adoption of Resolution A, seconded by Mrs. Evans and carried unanimously. RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ACCEPTANCE OF STREETS. RESOLUTION NO. R1985-65. Council then considered Item B, the second Resolution. The City Engineer referred back to his memo and answered questions concerning this action. Following this, Mr. Jones offered motion for adoption of Resolution B, seconded by Mr. Dawkins and carried unanimously. RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO CONTINUE MAINTAINING AND TO RESURFACE CERTAIN STREETS IN THE COLLEGE LAKES SUBDIVISION. RESOLUTION NO. R1985-66. There then followed a brief discussion of street resurfacing on Hay Street and Morganton Road. 6. Consideration of request for legal representation for: A. Chief Ronald Hansen. B. Officer Ricky Shupe. The City Attorney presented this matter and stated that Item A was litigation over Bingo Games which is under a restraining injunction at this time. He recommended representation for Chief Hansen. The other case involved continuation of the case with Mr. Eugene Murphy, in which the police officers were found not guilt by the court. The case had been appealed and Mr. Cogswell requested Council approve representation for Officer Shupe. Mrs. Evans then moved for approval on both Items A and B as recommended by City Attorney, seconded by Mr. Jones and carried unanimously. 7. Discussion of Justice Department ruling on annexation. The City Attorney presented this matter and requested City Council consider three things: 1) drafting of a bill and how long the Council would want a filing time before election, 2) would city Council want those people elected just until the next General Election, or to serve two year terms, then hold an election, 3) if City Council is to consider staggered terms, then that will have an affect on this matter. There was then discussion by the Council. Mr. Wofford suggested setting the date after the decision is received from the Justice Department. Mrs. Felton suggested the establishment of six voting districts. Mr. Dawkins disagreed with this suggestion. There was then a further discussion of the 90-day period. The City Attorney suggested City Council setting a June 15 deadline on themselves to decide and stated he would call Raleigh tomorrow to make sure the legislative doors would still be open. This was satisfactory with Council. Mr. Wofford then commented on the six-member districts and stated he foresaw problems with this. He mentioned as examples; the bus system, recreation and parks, and other functions. There was then a detailed discussion of this. Mrs. Evans suggested we should have so many elected from districts, and so many elected at-large, and those elected at-large would have to have responsibility for the entire City. There was then further discussion. Mr. Wofford suggested a compromise plan and this was discussed for some time. Mayor Hurley then suggested that Council members offer various alternatives for discussion. Mr. McBryde suggested offering several alternatives and administration bringing back a proposal. Mr. Wofford suggested the immediate annexation of another predominantly black area to bring us back into balance, if possible. Also, the six-member districts if elected at-large in the final election, that is a four district, two at-large system. Mr. McBryde suggested three plus three or four plus two districts. Mrs. Evans suggested the possibility of adding two Council people having five districts, two predominantly minority, and three at-large. There was then a discussion of the City Attorney's recommendation on legislation to set the election date following the Justice Department's decision. 8. Appointments: A. Election of nominees to the Board of Appeals on Dwellings and Buildings. Mr. Dawkins moved, seconded by Mr. McBryde and carried unanimously to reappoint Mr. Horace R. Humphrey, incumbent, Mr. F. Paul McGwier, incumbent, and Mr. Doyle Hubbard, incumbent to three year terms of office each to this Commission, said terms to run to May 1988. B. Election of a nominee to fill one vacancy on the Human Services Commission. Mr. Dawkins offered motion, seconded by Mr. Jones and carried unanimously to appoint Mr. Tony Maccy to this Commission to serve the balance of the term of Barbara Hammonds, resigned, said term to run to March 1987. 9. Delegations: There were none. 10. Administrative Reports: A. Discussion of Streets and Sidewalks Ordinance regarding Olde Fayetteville Commons. The City Attorney presented this matter and stated from his memo that I am prepared to present to you a revision of that section of the ordinance dealing with loudspeakers and other sound amplification devices on the Mall. Basically, it will prohibit their use between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. My research indicates that these types of things can be regulated if reasonable, as to time, place, and manner. It will also permit an exception for special events. In looking at the special events exception, it came to mind that a merchant may want to hold a sidewalk sale. This raises an interesting question. The way the ordinance is currently written, special event permits are authorized for any concert, performance, exhibition, ceremony, or any other activity tending to create a public congregation. The question thus becomes whether or not this would include a sidewalk sale. However, before addressing that, I would like to have input from the Council as to whether or not you want to allow sidewalk sales by merchants on the Olde Fayetteville Commons Mall. If so, how many times per year would they be allowed to conduct them? For example, under the current yard sale permit ordinance, a property owner can only hold two yard sales per year. Rather than constantly piece meal revisions to the ordinance, which I foresee as a possibility in the future anyway, I thought perhaps a discussion of the sidewalk sale issue would be appropriate before I bring back any further revisions. Mr. Wofford suggested that 6:00 p.m. is too early to close. The City Attorney suggested that Council consider sidewalk sales. Mr. Wofford suggested allowing sidewalk sales, Mr. McBryde suggested going through the Merchants Association. Mrs. Evans suggested going through the Olde Fayetteville Association and not allowing individual sidewalk sales, and stating that such questions should come through the Association. Mayor Hurley stated that sidewalk sales should not be allowed on the Commons. There was then a discussion of the question. Mayor Hurley then asked for a show of hands against sidewalk sales by individuals and it was unanimous. B. Set information meeting for May. The City Manager presented this matter and stated the regular meeting was scheduled for Monday, May 27, but this is a holiday. He stated he was planning to present the new budget at this meeting. Following discussion, the meeting was changed from Monday, May 27 to Tuesday, May 28 at 7:00 p.m., in the City Hall Council Chamber. On an additional matter, the City Manager stated that relative to the reporting on criminal dispositions, there appeared to be some misunderstanding between the County Manager, myself, and the Clerk of Court. The Clerk of Court came to the Joint Law Enforcement Committee meeting two weeks ago to ask for consideration for some funds to get some part-time people in the summer to bring these dispositions up to date. These are 1985-86 budget funds he was requesting, but this was not his understanding and he wants to hire people immediately. He requested $3,000 each from the City and the County. The City Manager stated that the work needs to be done. He stated the City Council could authorize him if there were sufficient funds in the I.D. Budget that we begin immediately if the County would begin likewise. Mr. McBryde then moved that we appropriate $3,000 as recommended by the City Manager. Motion seconded by Mr. Dawkins. There was then a discussion on the amount of support given this entity by the City and the County and it was determined that the County contributed two-thirds and the City one-third. Mr. Wofford then offered a substitute motion that we authorize the City Manager to allocate $2,000 from the I. D. Bureau funds for this purpose and ask the County to allocate $4,000. Motion seconded by Mr. Jones and carried unanimously. C. Report of taxes from Cumberland County Tax Collector. The City Manager requested that the minutes reflect receipt of the Tax Collector's report for April of 1985. SPECIAL MEETING TUESDAY, MAY 28, 1985 FAYETTEVILLE CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL MEETING CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBER TUESDAY, MAY 28, 1985 7:00 P.M. Present: Mayor Bill Hurley Councilmembers Milton Wofford, Mildred Evans, J. L. Dawkins, Milo McBryde, Jimmie Jones, 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. Councilmember Jones gave the invocation, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. Mayor Hurley recognized Councilmember Dawkins for the purpose of introducing Mr. E.J. Butler of the North Carolina Department of Transportation and Mr. Terry Hutchens, newly appointed commissioner on the State Board of Transportation representing Division 6. Mr. Hutchens discussed the Transportation Improvement Program and the process involved in developing that document. He also announced the public hearing concerning the Transportation Improvement Program to be held June 5 at 2:00 p.m. in the auditorium at Fayetteville Technical Institute. Mr. Hutchinson explained that the Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC) had set prior needs for Cumberland Counties. Those priorities are as follows: 1. Completion of CBD Loop to Highway 87. 2. Construction of a series of roads from Cliffdale to Reilly to Morganton Road. 3. Hope Mills By-pass. 4. 210/Spring Lake. In addition to these priorities, the TAC advocates a connector road between 1-95 and 401 at the site of U.S. 13. The TAC realizes there are no funds available for this project but consider it crucial and will solicit help from Fort Bragg. Councilmember Wofford questioned the status of the computerized signal system as it is very important to the City of Fayetteville. Mr. Butler replied that project is already programmed and on schedule. Mayor Hurley asked about the status of the Sycamore Dairy Road. Mr. Butler replied that contract should be let in October. Mr. Hutchens indicated that he would be glad to meet with the City Council any time to discuss their transportation needs and assured the Council that he would be calling on them for assistance also. Mayor Hurley then recognized City Manager Smith for a presentation of the Recommended 1985-86 City of Fayetteville Budget. The City Manager indicated that the Recommended Budget includes a one cent tax increase to replace the sale of auto license decals. The sale of these decals is difficult in terms of enforcement and administration. The one cent tax increase will approximate the amount of revenue produced by the sale of decals and reduce the hours and expense of collection. In effect, there would be no increase for most taxpayers. Mr. Smith also indicated that the fund balance appropriation in the Recommended Budget is $290,000 less than that budgeted last year. Councilmember Evans questioned Mr. Smith concerning the money under control of the court system. The City Manager indicated that money is included in the unappropriated fund balance. A discussion of fund balance ensued. Councilmember Wofford asked if there were funds for liability insurance included. The City Manager replied that there were not at this point. The Risk Management Advisory Commission has recommended establishing reserves in the Insurance Fund. Mr. Wofford suggested that we put something aside, either as a reserve or in the insurance fund, to cover any future calamities. The City Manager then showed a chart indicating the departmental increases from last year's budget. Councilmember Jones asked whether there were any cost of living increases included in the Recommended Budget. Mr. Smith said that no cost of living increase is included in his recommendation. Councilmember Jones also indicated that he would prefer that Powell Bill funds be used only for asphalt and cement. Councilmember Dawkins asked about the status of revenue sharing. The City Manager replied that the Recommended Budget included only one quarter of revenue sharing funds. Councilmember Evans asked if $400,000 were in the budget for it Cain Road. The City Manager replied that the current budget brings the amount funded for Cain Road to $350,000. He also indicated that no funds are included in this budget for Skye Drive and that $400,000 is included for street resurfacing. City Manager Smith continued his presentation to make the following points: 1. The insurance fund includes no new dental plan for City employees. 2. Special Tax District--Mr. Smith indicated that there is an error in the summary budget and that the proposed by department should be changed. He also indicated that he would recommend setting up a promotional fund in the tax district budget to be drawn down by the Olde Fayetteville Association and City Departments. 3. Transit--There is a decrease in the general fund allocation including the addition of two new employees to staff the Transit Information Center. 4. Airport--Two new employees as a result of the increased operations of the Airport. 5. Fleet Maintenance--The increased budget is due to the transfer of transit maintenance to the Fleet Maintenance Department. 6. Public Works Commission--A $2.8 million transfer is included in their budget. The City Manager then discussed a list of capital needs for 1985 through 1990. He indicated that our challenge is funding $21 million worth of capital needs. The Council then established the first work session for discussion of the budget for June 10, 7:00 p.m., at the Kyle House. They stated their goal would be to adopt the budget by June 24. Councilmember Evans then asked that the Council consider its previous action regarding internal audit reports. She asked Mr. Smith if it would be possible for him to bring any expenditure not budgeted or on contract in excess of $500 to the Council for approval or denial. This would allow the Council to express themselves on such expenditures. Councilmember Evans then moved that the motion by Mr. McBryde made at a previous meeting concerning the internal audit reports be rescinded. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Felton. There followed a lengthy discussion of the role of the City Manager and the need of the Council to stay informed of the City's activities and expenditures. There was also discussion of the use of the external auditors to audit those items of concern to City Council. The motion was passed with Councilmembers Wofford, Evans, Dawkins, Felton, and Mayor Hurley voting in the affirmative and Councilmembers McBryde and Jones voting in the negative. The Mayor then recognized City Attorney Cogswell to discuss a matter concerning litigation. City Attorney Cogswell recommended that the Council will authorize Bobby Deaver to represent D. K. Dixon, Sr., in the Michael T. Pirro lawsuit (84-72-CIV-3). Upon motion by Councilmember McBryde, seconded by Councilmember Dawkins, the City Council voted unanimously to follow the recommendation of the City Attorney. The City Attorney then presented a proposed local bill to amend the City of Fayetteville Charter to postpone the elections for this year until approval of annexations and the election process. Councilmember McBryde moved that the Council approve the proposed bill inserting the word majority in the blank and instructing the City Attorney to take this local bill to the Cumberland County Legislative Delegation. Councilmember Dawkins seconded the motion and it was approved unanimously. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

Miscellaneous amendments concerning sale of food. C. Special event permit to allow sidewalk sales. Adoption of the ordinance was recommended. The City Attorney presented this matter and stated that enclosed are the proposed amendments regarding the use of sound equipment and sidewalks sales on the Olde Fayetteville Commons. Section 1 addresses the restriction on the use of sound equipment on the Mall. It prohibits them between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. My research indicates that reasonable restrictions can be imposed and due to the nature of the Olde Fayetteville Commons and the intended activities, I believe this is a reasonable restriction. It does make exceptions for special events. Section 2 is a housekeeping amendment. I had previously sent you copies of these sections. They prohibit the sale of food items and the sale of items on sidewalks in-front of businesses. This amendment would allow these type of activities only on the Olde Fayetteville Commons. Section 3 addresses the concern of sidewalk sales that we discussed at the last meeting. It allows any nonprofit organization to conduct a sidewalk sale on the Mall. In the past, the only requests that we have had of this nature have been from nonprofit organizations such as the Olde Fayetteville Association, the Arts Council and the International Folk Festival. Mrs. Evans then moved for adoption of the ordinance as recommended, seconded by Mr. Dawkins. Following a lengthy discussion, Mayor Hurley called for a vote on the motion and it carried, Mr. McBryde abstaining to vote.

Mr. Richard Herrera, Director of Community Development, under which Human Services Department now falls was recognized and offered explanation for the amendment. He stated it does not apply to excused absences from commission meetings. Following some discussion, Mr. McBryde offered motion for adoption of the Ordinance, seconded by Mr. Dawkins and carried unanimously. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 2, “ADMINISTRATION" OF THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE CODE OF ORDINANCES. ORDINANCE NO. S1985-8. 8. Consideration of establishment of joint Historic Properties Commission between the City of Fayetteville and Cumberland County. The City Manager introduced this item and stated that in a memo from Mrs. Virginia Thompson Oliver, Chairman, City-County Liaison Committee, she had stated that at their meeting on May 23, the Committee endorsed the concept of establishing jointly a historic properties commission. Ken Robinson, Historic Planner, will be available to make a presentation to the City Council if you so desire. Mr. Ken Robinson was present in the audience and was recognized and offered comments concerning the proposal.

At a later date a list would be provided to Council enumerating these items. Mr. Robinson stated the event had been covered by Smithsonian World for telecasting at a later date, and other news media.

He stated that David Nash, the Annexation Coordinator, has contacted the Justice Department on several occasions. He commented on the black representation which was based on 60 percent. He also displayed alternatives based on criteria. There was then a general discussion. The City Manager stated that this was a report and that the staff has additional work to do. Mayor Hurley stated that he and Bob Cogswell had met with the legislative delegation this morning concerning a local bill. Mr. Cogswell offered additional comments. He stated the for a May 1986 primary, information must be sent off in October 1984. There was then further discussion of this matter. Following this Mr. McBryde offered motion to adopt the local act to request the legislation delegation to enact legislative as presented by the City Attorney this evening, seconded by Mr. Dawkins and carried Mrs. Pelton voting no. B. Policy on retiring Auxiliary Police Officers. The City Manager Presented this matter and stated that N.C. General Statutes are silent with regard to the presentation of weapons and badges to auxiliary police officers upon retirement. The Statute does permit Council to award badges and weapons to retiring active officers. Since auxiliary officers are certified, sworn officers, the City may be safe in treating them as active officers. I would think that the only concern is the potential liability which sight result from the City providing a weapon. However, since the future auxiliary officers will not be armed, we would not be setting a precedent for the future. We have awarded Major Herman Bishop his weapon and badge and have therefore established something of a precedent. I suggest that the Council consider making similar awards to retiring auxiliary officers with 30 or more years of service, who have been active participants in the auxiliary program. Suitable evidence must be shown that the individual has a proper handgun permit. According to our records, only one such request has been made other than Mr. Bishop, and only that individual has 30 years of service. The City Manager stated that his recommendation was the last paragraph of his memo. Mrs. Evans then offered motion for approval of the foregoing as recommended, seconded by Mr. Wofford and carried unanimously. Mr. McBryde suggested that some thought be given to considering officers with less than 30 years of service. Mayor Hurley then declared a five minute recess. C. Discussion of closing the Seabrook Pool. Mayor Hurley stated that a delegation of residents was present tonight for this matter. Mayor Hurley called on the City Manager who presented details from Jack Wilson's memo of March 27, 1985, on the swimming pool operations when City Council took action to close the Seabrook Pool and repair the Lamon Street. There was then some discussion of this matter. Mr. Wilson, Parks and Recreation Director, was recognized and stated that transportation is now being provided between Seabrook and Lamon Street Pool for the children. Rev. Sandy Sanders, Chairman of the Parks and Recreation Commission, was recognized with comments. Mr. Clinton Harris was recognized with questions about next year's plans. A Mr. Simpson was recognized and stated his concern was with the safety of the children being transported from Seabrook to Lamon Street. Mr. Jessie Womble was recognized with comments on the maintenance of the Seabrook Pool. Also with comments concerning the cost of pool admission. The City Manager stated that the cost depends on the participation. Mr. Wofford stated that this issue will probably require a bond or a substantial tax increase and the City should look at both. A Mr. Thelbert Torrey was recognized with comments. This completed the discussion on this matter. The City Manager stated to Council that a public hearing should be set for the 1985-86 Budget and recommended that this be done at the June 24 regular meeting of the Council. Mr. Wofford offered motion to approve the public hearing for June 24, seconded by Mr. Dawkins and carried unanimously. The City Manager stated that the Airport Commission had met today to review the final plans for the terminal expansion and had issued an invitation to the City Council to a dinner meeting to discuss the matter further and to present the plans.

Mr. McBryde suggested the use of the bus stops for parking on Person Street now that the Olde Fayetteville Commons is open. Mr. McBryde also suggested to the City Engineer that the approach design to the Commons on the west end be changed. He also suggested to change the bus signs to read City buses since all types of buses are using the Commons. Mr. McBryde stated the street markings approaching the west end of the Commons at the intersection also be changed since he had witnessed an automobile accident due to the diamond design on the pavement. Mr. Jones suggested making Bragg Blvd.-Robeson Street two way traffic since the construction of the new medical complex had begun in the 500 block of Hay Street. He stated that additional traffic would be generated due to this fact and would also make approach to the Highsmith-Rainey Medical Center more accessible. The City Engineer stated that the State has been asked to do this. The City Engineer stated that the State had replied that it is not feasible for two-way traffic. Mr. McBryde suggested that the City Engineer keep on asking. Mayor Hurley asked if the 400 block of Hay Street north side is on the resurfacing list. The City Engineer stated that the street is in the condition it is due to a PWC water line failure. He agreed that the north side needs repaving. Mr. Wofford moved that PWC be instructed to place the 400 block north side of Hay Street back in previous condition. Motion seconded by Mr. McBryde.

Mr. Wofford suggested that the City change its policy and maintain all City streets. Mayor Hurley then thanked the police officer for being present this evening. Mr. McBryde then offered motion that Council enter into executive session at 9:45 p.m. to consider a litigation matter only. Mr. Dawkins seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. Mayor Hurley adjourned the executive session and reconvened the Council into regular session. Mayor Hurley then recognized the City Attorney. The City Attorney advised the City Council that on May 31, 1985, in the case of Parker v. City of Fayetteville, et. al., there was a hearing before Magistrate Dixon to discuss and present to the Court a proposed settlement in the sum of $15,000.00 in exchange for the execution of a Release of Liability of all Defendants and a Voluntary Dismissal. The Documents were all signed today, June 3, 1985 and Magistrate Dixon signed the Voluntary Dismissal. Based upon this, the City Attorney recommended that in the Parker case that the Council approve a settlement in the sum of $15,000.00 in exchange for execution of a Release of all Defendants, a Voluntary Dismissal by the Plaintiff as to all the Defendants, and other conditions contained in the Voluntary Dismissal. The Voluntary Dismissal included the aforementioned matters as well as no further claim to attorney's fees by the Plaintiff, the Voluntary Dismissal by Danny K.

Mr. Tim Wood, PWC Manager, was recognized and presented and offered comments and statistics on the electric, water and sanitary sewer operations and requested approval of the amendment. Following some discussion Mr. Dawkins offered motion for approval of the amendment as recommended, seconded by Mr. Wofford, and carried unanimously. 4. Consideration of bids for construction of sidewalks. It was recommended to award the bid to Jackson Construction Company under alternate No. 1. The City Engineer presented this item and indicated locations of the proposed sidewalks and gave information on the bids. He stated that Jackson Construction Company was the low bidder at $99,959.00 for alternate No. 1 for 5-inch concrete. The 5-inch sidewalk yields 20-25% greater structural strength. It is our opinion that 5-inch sidewalk has considerable greater longevity; and, requires less maintenance than the 4-inch concrete or the asphalt. For these reasons, the best buy for the City is the 5-inch concrete sidewalk construction. We recommend awarding the contractor Jackson Construction Company for alternate No. 1. Mr. Wofford offered motion to award the bid to Jackson Construction Company as recommended, seconded by Mr. Jones, and carried unanimously. 5. Consideration of revisions to Traffic Ordinance Schedules: A. Establishing parking in un-used bus stops. The City Engineer presented this matter and stated that since the opening of the Mall, curbside bus stops at four locations have been transferred to the Transit Mall. This curbside space is now available for parking; and, we would recommend revision to the ordinances to establish parking at the several locations. Following brief discussion Mr. Wofford offered motion for adoption of the ordinances, seconded by Mr. McBryde, and carried unanimously.

The City Engineer presented this matter and stated we have requests from the Horse and Carriage Floral Shop and from Womack's Mens Shop asking for a loading zone at this location. Presently this is a parking prohibited area; and this space can accommodate a short loading zone, which will be adequate for the petitioners needs. Since it is now a parking prohibited zone, no existing parking space will be displaced. We recommend approval of the request and the adoption of the two ordinances to accomplish it. Mr. McBryde requested permission to abstain from voting on this matter.

The City Engineer presented this matter and stated that we have a request from the owner of the subject business stating his need for a loading zone. We have reviewed the request with this business owner; and he advised us that his request is for one diagonal parking place to be designated as a loading zone. This diagonal space would not be adequate for larger trucks, but would accommodate small trucks and car deliveries. This business has rear door access to a back alley for larger truck type deliveries. We recommend approval of the request and the adoption of the two traffic ordinances. Mr. McBryde offered motion for adoption of the ordinances as recommended, seconded by Mr. Wofford, and carried unanimously.

The City Engineer presented this matter and stated that negotiations have taken place over the last several months for the City to acquire right-of-way to improve Clark Road. The appraised value ($3,900.00) of right-of-way needed has been offered to the property owner some time ago which he has now rejected and made a counter offer of $12,000.00. With the counter offer being over three times the appraised value, we feel there is no way to come to an equitable settlement. In order for the project to go forward, we recommend adoption of the condemnation resolution. Mr. Wofford offered motion for adoption of the resolution as recommended, seconded by Mr. Dawkins, and carried unanimously. RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING CONDEMNATION TO ACQUIRE CERTAIN PROPERTY - PARCEL W-1 CLARK ROAD. RESOLUTION NO. R1985-75. 7.

Following some discussion Mr. Wofford offered motion to table this matter to the July 1, 1985, regular meeting, seconded by Mrs. Felton, and carried unanimously. B. 213 Bryan Street, Apartments 1, 2, and 3. Mr. Haire presented this matter and stated that the apartments are now vacant and dangerous. He recommended demolition.

The City Engineer presented this matter and stated this crossing has become qualified for federal funds for upgrading the signal or warning devices. This project is administered by NCDOT; and is estimated to cost $60,000.00. The Federal Highway Administration will pay 90 percent and the City is asked to pay 10 percent or $6,000.00 with the annual maintenance cost to the City, after construction, of $490.00 per year. The proposed agreement has the standard features that past agreements of this type contained; therefore, we recommend approval of the agreement authorizing the Mayor and Clerk to execute.

Mr. Wofford suggested that staff investigate the matter and report back on animals in general. Mr. George Hardwick, a Green Valley resident, stated that the odor behind his house is terrible as well as the noise from the dogs. Mayor Hurley assured these individuals that the matter will be thoroughly investigated and whatever action is necessary will be taken. Council also recognized Mr. Harold Rudner, 2612 Fashion Lane, a member of the Sierra Club and representing the coalition against radioactive incinerators. He stated they were definitely against the radioactive incinerator facility proposed for Bladen County by U.S. Ecology. He stated this incinerator would be located approximately 18 miles from Fayetteville. He stated that Dr. Daryl Brown is at the present considering this issue.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS: A. Statement of tax collections for month of May, 1985. The City Manager requested that the receipt of the foregoing statement be noted in the minutes of this meeting. B. Graffiti on North Edgewater Drive and Mirror Lake Drive. The City Manager stated in a memo that he was sure Council was aware we have over the past several months received several complaints from citizens regarding the graffiti on Edgewater Drive. The Engineering Department has experimented with some inexpensive methods for covering the graffiti, however, that has not proven to be effective. This is a problem that could of course occur on any city street, however, this one section of Edgewater Drive appears to be a favorite for graffiti due to the fact that there are no houses on either side of the street. Some of the residents of the area have become more concerned recently because of the obscenities that have been added to the graffiti that was already there. Included with this memo you will find an estimate from the Engineering Department for covering up the writing on the street, and as you can see it would be an expensive process. Of course, covering it up would not prevent someone from going back in, and we cannot station a police officer at that location every day to try to make arrests. I am bringing this to your attention because we have received several calls here, and I did not know whether any of you had been made aware of this situation. He stated additionally that on December 3, 1984, a no parking ordinance had been passed for this location and police patrol increased. Following some discussion Mr. Wofford suggested spray painting over the obscene words. Mayor Hurley suggested a reward be offered by Crime Stoppers. Mr. Tom McLean, an area resident, was recognized with comments and requested Council to paint over the obscenities and increase law enforcement. Following some further discussion the City Manager informed Council that he will have Engineering Department paint over the obscenities and increase the police patrol in the area. 15. MATTERS OF INTEREST TO COUNCIL: Mr. Jones raised a question on how long it would take and what action would be necessary to demolish a partially burned house on Sherman Drive that had been standing for some months. The City Manager stated that he would contact someone with Inspection Department concerning this. Mr. Jones stated that he had been contacted by some of the residents of Rowland Circle on the west side of Ramsey Street was being used as a bypass and for excessive speeding. He requested that police patrol be increased to curb the situation. Mr. Wofford informed Council that the Liaison Committee meeting would be held this Thursday, June 27, at 12:00 noon in the Western Steer Restaurant on Owen Drive and one of the topics to be considered would be the 911 emergency telephone system. Mayor Hurley then extended thanks to the Police Officer for being present this evening. Thereafter all matters of business having been completed, Mayor Hurley adjourned this regular session at 11:00 p.m. upon motion made and duly seconded.

PRELIMINARY RESOLUTION REQUIRING THE PAVING PURSUANT TO PETITION OF LAMBERT STREET. RESOLUTION NO. R1985-78. 2. PUBLIC HEARINGS: A. Consideration of an application by Bordeaux Preschool, Inc. for a special use permit to operate a day care center in a P2 Professional District for an area located on the east side of Boone Trail Extension, south of Village Drive. The Planning Board recommended approval subject to conditions. Planner Al Mitchell presented this matter and displayed a projection. He stated the Planning Board recommended conditional approval upon three conditions as stated in their memo of July 1, 1985. Council recognized Mr. Charles Hester, 238 Collinwood Drive, for his wife, the petitioner and owner of the school, who requested approval of the special use permit. There was no opposition present. Following brief discussion, Mr. Dawkins offered motion for approval of the foregoing as recommended by the Planning Board to include the three conditions, motion seconded by Mrs. Felton. Mr. Bryan Bizzell was recognized in opposition for property owners in the area due to the traffic hazards. Following this, Mayor Hurley called for vote on the motion and it carried unanimously. B. Consideration of adoption of a resolution ordering the closing of: 1. Alfalfa Street from Grove Street to a point 150 feet northwardly. Adoption was recommended. The City Engineer presented this matter and stated that the City received a request on May 6 from Bill Maxwell Realtors representing clients along Grove Street requesting that Alfalfa Street be closed from Grove Street northwardly for approximately 150 feet. When Grove Street was widened some years ago, the Highway Department closed Alfalfa Street connection to Grove Street because of its proximity to the Eastern Boulevard-Grove Street intersection. Since the requested portion of Alfalfa Street serves only the petitioners property, we see no general public need for this portion of Alfalfa Street to remain a public street. We recommend approval of the request by adoption of the closing resolution. There were neither proponents nor opponents present. Following brief discussion, Mr. Wofford offered motion for adoption of the resolution closing the street, seconded by Mr. Jones, and carried unanimously. RESOLUTION AND ORDER CLOSING ALFALFA STREET. RESOLUTION NO. R1985-79. 2. Coronation Drive from Coronation Drive northwardly to London Road. The City Attorney presented this matter and gave a brief history from his memo in the agenda packet. He stated a deed had never been accepted by the City for dedication. He stated the Wachovia Bank owns the street now. He recommended that City Council hold a public hearing and suggested that the property owners meet with the City staff for additional information. Anyone who holds a deed can object to this closing he stated. Mayor Hurley then asked the property owners present in the audience if they wished to discuss this matter with the staff, and they responded in the affirmative. Attorney Herb Thorp was recognized for his client, the applicant. Clinton Harris, a local citizen, wad recognized with comments. Mr. Allen Potter, 3156 Blakewood Drive, a property owner, was recognized in opposition to the closing. Mr. McBryde then offered motion to continue this public hearing for two weeks, seconded by Mr. Dawkins, and carried unanimously. The City Attorney informed the property owners that he would meet with them here in the Council Chamber on Wednesday, July 10, at 7:30 p.m. to discuss the matter further. 3. Reconsideration of the rezoning from C1 Local Business District to M2 Industrial District or to a more restrictive zoning classification for an area located at 517 Minor Street. (Public Hearing held June 24, 1985 and this item continued for Council discussion.) Denial of the rezoning was recommended at that time. Planner Al Mitchell was recognized and stated that the desired operation would not require rezoning for this reason. It had been determined through the Inspections Department that the above referenced property may be utilized for an electrical contractor's office with vehicle garage storage without having to be rezoned at all. This determination had been based on their description of the intended use to occupy the property, i.e. office for business inside, storage of repair supplies, and an overnight garage facility for business vehicles. This would not allow for any outside storage. Mrs. Myrtle Driver, the petitioner, was recognized again and affirmed the foregoing. Mr. Wofford then moved to deny the request for rezoning to M2 seconded by Mr. McBryde, and carried unanimously. 4. Reconsideration of Demolition Ordinance for structure located at 1705 Seabrook Road. Adoption of the ordinance was recommended. Mr. Walter Haire of the Inspection Department presented this matter and stated that he had made two inspections of the property but no attempt had been made to correct the deficiencies. He stated that he was not able to meet with the owners because they could not be contacted. Mr. Bill Townsend was recognized for Mrs. Elizabeth Hunt, the owner, and stated that they have buyers for the property and requested an extension to do the necessary repair work. Mr. Haire of the Inspection Department stated the building is caving in and hazardous and should be demolished. There was then some discussion of this matter. Following this, Mr. Wofford offered motion to adopt the demolition ordinance as recommended, seconded by Mrs. Evans, and carried unanimously.

Following this, Mayor Hurley called for a vote and it was as follows: For the motion, Mayor Hurley and Councilmembers Dawkins, Evans, and Wofford. Against the motion, Councilmembers McBryde, Jones, and Felton. The City Attorney then ruled that it would take a two-thirds vote to pass the ordinance and that it must come back in two weeks for a second reading. The City Manager suggested that the Council vote on the tax rate separately and pass a continuing resolution and bring the budget back for a second reading. Mayor Hurley then declared a five minute recess at 8:00 p.m. Mayor Hurley then reconvened the Council into session at 8:05 p.m. Mr. Wofford then offered motion to set the tax rate at 52 cents for the general rate and 10 cents for the central business tax district rate, seconded by Mrs. Evans, and carried unanimously.

The City Manager stated that Council cannot act on this item until the next meeting due to funding. 7. Consideration of bids: A. Safety Shoes. It was recommended to award the contract to the lowest bidder meeting specifications. B. Uniforms. It was recommended to award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder. The City Manager also stated that Council cannot act on this item until the next meeting due to the funding. 8. Appearance by Mrs. Joan Allen regarding the Community Arts Center. Mrs. Allan was recognized and stated the generous offer of the Francis Brooks Stein Building to the Arts Council by the City as a community art center makes possible a dream for a major cultural facility in the heart of our City. The monumental structure is a treasured building will soon embark on its third career as a post office, as a library, and as an art center. We are here, she stated, to thank you for making this dream possible, to update you on the developments of the project, and to ask your blessings. She stated that the Arts Council needs a firm commitment from City Council and if this is considered, we will draw an agreement.

The City Engineer presented this matter and stated that on May 20, 1985, the Council adopted a resolution accepting maintenance of a number of the streets to be effective July 1, 1985. I accidentally omitted two streets that should have been on this list. We would appreciate Council's consideration of adopting a resolution to add these streets to the list. The effective date would be July 1, 1985, and therefore the City would receive Powell Bill Funds for these streets beginning on that date. Mr. Wofford offered motion to adopt the resolution subject to the approval of the budget, seconded by Mrs. Evans, and carried unanimously.

Mr. Clark Dill, Director of Sanitation, has calculated the cost of this service to cover operation and maintenance of our facility. The cost to Hope Mills will be $7.50 per load.

DELEGATIONS OR INDIVIDUALS WISHING TO ADDRESS COUNCIL: Council recognized Mr. George Armstrong who suggested a city-wide 25 MPH on all residential streets. Reverend Sandy Saunders was also recognized and echoed Mr. Armstrong's suggestion. 15. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS: A. Report on Mirror Lake and Edgewater Drive The City Manager stated that the Engineering Department has painted out the objectional wording on these streets. B. Fair Labor Standards Act. The City Manager referred to the memo in the agenda packet and stated that this may require an amendment to the personnel ordinance. C. Emergency Medical Services. The City Manager stated if he wished to postpone this matter to the next meeting. D. Law Enforcement in City Parks. The City Manager referred Council to his memo in the agenda packet and stated that he had mentioned to them at one of the budget workshops that the director of Parks and Recreation and the Chief of Police had gotten together to attempt to come up with a solution to this situation and I believe they have come up with a good solution. It is the feeling of the Director of Parks and Recreation that law enforcement activity should be handled by the Police Department and that other kinds of activity should be handled Park Rangers. He has further indicated that if law enforcement can be turned over to the Police Department, that the number of park rangers can be reduced to two positions. There are currently seven park ranger positions. He has suggested that the Chief of Police has concurred that five of these positions could be transferred to the Police Department, and the Chief of Police has agreed to establish a special park patrol unit within the Police Department utilizing these five positions and providing a full time law enforcement presence in the City parks. I believe that this is the ultimate solution to the issue of law enforcement and educational and public relations activities in the parks. I am convinced that attempting to perform both functions through the park ranger program is not a satisfactory solution and Mr. Wilson and Chief Hansen wholeheartedly agree. There was then a brief discussion of this matter and the Council commended the City Manager, Mr. Wilson, and Chief Hansen for their thoughtful solution. E. Annexation. The City Manager distributed memos to the City Council a copy is on file with the original of these minutes in the City Clerk's office. The City Manager suggested from his memo that Council study series of public hearings in a two-step process 1) the mode of election and 2) draw district boundaries. He recommended approving at the public hearing the mode of election then the drawing of the district boundaries. There was then a lengthy discussion of this matter and the council was in agreement and suggested that the matter be publicized in the local media and a public hearing was set for July 17 in the City Hall Council Chamber at 7:00 p.m. Returning to a discussion of the budget at this time Mrs. Evans offered motion to continue operating appropriations at the current level of the 84-85 budget and adoption of an interim budget appropriation per NCGS 159-16 until such time as the 85-86 budget appropriation is adopted.

It was recommended to continue this public hearing to August 5, 1985. There were neither proponents nor opponents present for this matter. Mr. Dawkins offered motion to continue this matter to August 5, 1985, seconded by Mr. Jones and carried unanimously. B. Reconsideration of closing Coronation Drive pursuant to petition. (Public hearing continued from July 1, 1985.) The City Attorney presented this matter and stated that all property owners were present. He stated that on July 10, 1985, Al Mitchell, Bob Bennett and himself met with some of the residents from the Coronation Drive area as well as the developer to determine if there was any compromise that could be reached concerning the future of Coronation Drive. The developer stated at the meeting that he had originally filed a request to have the street closed because he felt it was his responsibility to develop it and he wanted to save that cost. Now that he has found out that he does not own the street and that he has access from London as well as Ramsey Streets, he does not care whether the street is closed or not. Additionally, the residents were somewhat divided on whether or not they wanted the street to be grassed so they could use it as a play area for their children or whether they wanted the street paved. The majority seemed to be in favor of having the street paved. Based upon comments of the residents at the end of the meeting, it is possible that you will receive a request to pave Coronation Drive at your next meeting or in the not too distant future. Also the developer indicated he may make a written request to withdraw the petition for street closing. Even if he does not make that request, there is objection to the street closing and therefore you cannot close the street. He recommended that City Council do nothing on the matter. He displayed a projection for the Council's benefit. There were no proponents present. Mr. Allen Potter, a resident, was recognized and stated that he was interested in paving but requested that it be left open for the time being. Mr. Jim Palacheck, Roosevelt Dunn, and Jean Kelly, all of Blythwood Drive in the neighborhood were present and requested eventual paving of the street. Following brief discussion, City Council took no action on the matter as recommended by the City Attorney. 3. PLANNING BOARD MATTERS: A. Consideration of the rezoning from R5A Residential District to P2 Professional District or to a more restrictive zoning classification for an area located on the east side of McPherson Church Road, north of the Aberdeen and Rockfish Railroad. Planner Al Mitchell of the Planning Department presented this matter and stated that the Planning Board recommended approval of P2. There was then a discussion by Council on this matter and following this discussion, Mrs. Evans offered motion to deny the petition. The motion received no second and Mayor Hurley declared it lost. Following some further discussion, Mr. Dawkins offered motion to follow the recommendation of the Planning Board and approve P2 zoning, seconded by Mr. McBryde and carried Mrs. Evans voting no. 4. Reconsideration of approval of renewal of transit operation contract with American Transit Corporation. Approval was recommended. The City Manager presented this matter and commented from the Assistant City Manager's memorandum in the agenda packet. He stated the present contract has been in effect approximately two and one-half years. He displayed a projection of the operating budget. He stated he believed the City's decision to contract with ATC to manage the transit system has proved to be beneficial in many ways. During the first year of the management contract, ATC provided a competitive insurance program to protect liability as a result of providing public transportation. In addition to operational changes, ATC provided significant technical assistance in developing the plans for changing the old LaFayette Ford Building into a bus maintenance facility. He stated he had found the technical assistance from ATC to be timely and practical, resulting in more efficient transit system with a steadily declining contribution from the general fund. The experience of ATC with other transit systems has allowed us to implement these improvements much more rapidly than we could have on our own. Following some discussion of this matter, Mrs. Evans offered motion to approve the contract. Motion seconded by Mr. Wofford. There was then some further discussion and Mayor Hurley called for a vote on the motion and it was as follows. For the motion: Councilmembers Wofford, Evans, Dawkins and Mayor Hurley. Against the motion: Councilmembers Felton, Jones and McBryde. Mayor Hurley declared the motion carried and the contract renewal approved. 5. RECONSIDERATION OF BIDS: A. Safety Shoes: It was recommended to award the contract to the lowest bidder to meet specifications. The City Manager presented this matter and recommended awarding the contract to Saf-Gard Safety Shoe Company, Inc. in the amount of $14,155. Mr. Dawkins offered motion, seconded by Mr. Jones to approve the foregoing contract as recommended. Motion carried unanimously. B. Uniforms: It was recommended to award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder. The City Manager presented this matter and recommended awarding the contract to Hub-Stinnette Uniforms, Inc. in the amount of $55,451.50. Mrs. Felton offered motion, seconded by Mrs. Evans and carried unanimously to award the foregoing contract as recommended. C. Drafting Plotter: It was recommended to adopt the Budget Amendment 86-1 and award the contract to Hewlett Packard Company, the lowest responsible bidder. The City Manager presented this matter and stated that this is a part of the computer equipment for the Engineering Department. This equipment purchase was funded in the 1984-85 budget. We purchased the majority of their equipment through Wang as an extension of their original bid. The plotter is a crucial part of their hardware needs which will give them the capability of computer-aided drafting. This capability should result in greater productivity and improve quality of design and drafting. Wang does not have a plotter. We were unable to purchase this plotter through the competitive bid process before July 1. The budget amendment merely reallocates the previously budgeted funds which lapsed into fund balance at the beginning of the new fiscal year. We recommend that Council adopt the Budget Amendment and award the bid to the low bidder. The low bidder being Hewlett Packard Company in the amount of $11,352. Mr. McBryde offered motion, seconded by Mr. Dawkins and carried unanimously to follow the foregoing recommendation of the City Manager and approve the bid and amendment. 6.

Approval and adoption of the ordinances was recommended. The City Engineer presented this matter and stated the First Citizens Bank has requested an official loading-unloading zone in front of their office building on the west side of Green Street. The letter stated that all are in agreement that no alternatives exist as Hay Street is out and the trucks are too large for our parking decks. We recommend approval of the request and adoption of the two ordinances deleting the parking and establishing the loading zone. Following some discussion, Mr. Wofford offered motion, seconded by Mr. Jones to approve the foregoing by adoption of the ordinances. Motion carried unanimously. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 20, “MOTOR VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC", OF THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE CODE OF ORDINANCES, TRAFFIC SCHEDULE NO. 13 - PARKING ZONES - (SECTION B - TWO-HOUR ZONES) - GREEN STREET WEST SIDE.

It was recommended to approve and authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign the release. The City Engineer presented this matter and stated the owner of this lot is requesting the City to release an easement along the rear lot line. There are no utilities in this easement and we have reviewed the possible use in the future of this easement with PWC and neither of us can see any foreseeable use. We recommend approval of the request and authorization for the Mayor and Clerk to sign the release for the City. He stated the property owner wished to utilize this space to build a double garage. Following brief discussion, Mr. Dawkins offered motion, seconded by Mr. Wofford and carried unanimously to approve the foregoing as recommended. 9. Consideration of NCDOT proposal for improving Owen Drive-Village Drive intersection. Approval was recommended. The City Engineer presented this matter and stated this intersection has become eligible for improvements using federal aid. The proposed improvements are outlined on the attached memorandum to the NCDOT Planning Board. Ninety percent of the cost is to be paid by the Federal Highway Commission and ten percent of the improvements along Village Drive is to be paid by the City and ten percent of the improvements along Owen Drive to be paid by NCDOT. In addition to the City paving ten percent along Village Drive, a bus pull-out is also proposed on the northeast quadrant (abutting the City Fire Station) is to be at City expense. The bus pull-out also utilizes about 12 feet of the City Fire Station property. We have reviewed this proposal with Fire Chief Johnson who concurs with the project. The total City cost is estimated at $15,000 which is included in the current budget under NCDOT agreements (State Street Aid). This intersection is a very high traffic volume location and has been the scene of 121 accidents during the 42-month period from July 1, 1979 through July 1, 1982. We recommend adoption of the resolution to be forwarded to NCDOT approving the projects. Mrs. Evans moved for approval and the adoption of the resolutions, seconded by Mr. McBryde and carried unanimously.

Following some discussion, Mr. Dawkins offered motion for approval as recommended and to authorize advertisement. Motion seconded by Mr. Wofford and carried unanimously. 11. Consideration of request by Fayetteville Little Theater for 1985-86 funding. The City Manager presented this item and stated that the request was received from the Fayetteville Little Theater for funding in the FY 85-86 budget. They were supplied with the appropriate request forms before the Recommended Budget was submitted. These forms were misplaced, however, and the request was not submitted. The Little Theater was funded for $10,000 in the 1984-85 budget. Had their request been submitted in time, they would have been included in the Recommended Budget at the same level. This would have been consistent with the Council's agreement to fund the same agencies at the same level. Mr. Reggie Barton will be at the Council meeting to present this request if necessary. Following brief discussion, Mrs. Evans offered motion to approve $10,000 in funding for the Little Theater for the FY 85-86. Motion seconded by Mr. Jones and carried unanimously. 12. Consideration of ordinances amending Chapter 7 and Chapter 32 of the Fayetteville City Code concerning animals. It was recommended to refer the ordinances to the Planning Board. The City Attorney presented this matter and stated the two proposed ordinance changes are in response to the recent inquiry concerning the number of dogs that a person can have on their property. The amendments to Chapter 7 regulate the number, the location of any pens, and sanitation problems. The amendment to Chapter 32 creates a new type of use in the C1 District, that being kennels. By placing kennels in a C1 District, this precludes them from being in a P2 or any R District. This amendment will have to be approved first by the Planning Board and then forwarded to you for your consideration. Therefore, I recommend that you forward the amendments to Chapter 32 to the Planning Board and wait to address the amendments to Chapter 7 after the Planning Board has acted. Discussion followed and Mr. Wofford suggested some public input on this matter. There was then some further discussion and Planner Mitchell stated that their budget does not provide for the advertisement by display ad. It provides only for legal ads. Following some further discussion, Mr. McBryde offered motion to send these ordinances to the Planning Board for a public hearing and authorize funds for a display ad. Motion seconded by Mr. Jones and carried unanimously. 13. Consideration of ordinance imposing a lien against the property located at 504 McIver Street. Adoption of the ordinance was recommended.

ORDINANCE NO. NS1985-27. There was then a discussion by Council of the cost of clean-up of lots and of the possibility of doing this work with City forces and billing the property owners afterward. Assistant City Manager Stancil was requested to check into this matter. 14.

The City Manager informed Council that we may receive a $50,000 grant from the State Legislature for the Barge's Tavern. He requested authorization to discuss a budget with the Motel Association for this project. This was agreeable with the Council.

Mr. Jones also recommended that a letter of condolence be written to Mrs. Wilbur Smith at the death of Mr. Smith, a long-time community leader. Mr. McBryde suggested to the City Engineer that left turn on red signals be installed on Burgess and Maxwell Streets. The City Engineer stated he would get a report on this. Mr. Dawkins stated that Mr. Johnny Joyce had done a very nice commentary on the death of Mr. Wilbur Smith. Mrs. Evans directed a question to the City Engineer as to how many sidewalks are now on major thoroughfares. The City Engineer stated that much had already been done on this matter and was continuing. Mrs. Evans stated that at Clark Park the automobiles must be parked at least 600 feet away from the tables and that this was proving to be a considerable inconvenience and could something be done about it. Parks Director Jack Wilson stated that this was being worked on but no improved roads existed at the present time. Mr. Wofford stated that he had received complaints about the long red light on Hay Street at its intersection with Ray Avenue. He suggested flashing red and amber lights. The City Engineer was requested to check this. Mr. Wofford stated that he had traveled Devane Street and did not see any 25 MPH signs as yet. The City Engineer stated that he would check this. Mayor Hurley asked the City Engineer about the street paving program and of the progress.

Delegations or individuals wishing to address Council: Council recognized Mr. Clinton Harris, a local citizen, who spoke regarding the City policy on sidewalks which are an essential service he stated. There is no provision for paved sidewalks he stated. Can the Inspection Department enforce the policy he asked. What about sidewalks on Union Street behind the Post Office. They are a very necessary item. The Federal Government has a policy concerning this. The City has an obligation to fulfill its policy and to construct paved sidewalks wherever they are needed. The Council needs to look into this and see that it is done where necessary. Following his remarks, Mrs. Evans stated that Mr. Harris is 100% right. Mr. McBryde stated that the City does not say paved sidewalks. We require graded sidewalks, which we do. This was discussed for several moments. Mayor Hurley suggested to Mrs. Evans that it has been about two years since we seriously looked at joint participation in the construction of concrete sidewalks and he felt that the mood of the Council has changed and asked that this be placed on the Policy Committee agenda. Mrs. Evans stated that she would do so. Mr. Wofford asked for an answer to Mr. Harris's question about lack of graded sidewalks in conjunction with new construction. Planner Mitchell stated this is required in subdivisions where there are site plans. This also applies to new buildings with site plans. This was discussed for some moments. Mr. Wofford then suggested that the Planning Board and the Policy Committee consider the entire sidewalk policy and come back to City Council with the recommendation. Mrs. Evans suggested an alternate member be appointed to the Policy Committee and Mayor Hurley appointed Councilman McBryde. Mayor Hurley then thanked Mr. Harris for his remarks. 7. Administrative Reports: A. Discussion of regulation of satellite dishes. The City Manager introduced this matter and stated this is an Administrative Report and not a recommendation for an ordinance or regulation but to get input from the Council on the subject. He stated the Planning Department staff is working on an ordinance, since our present code does not mention or define satellite dishes. The Inspection Department is currently using the code definition of a building. This does regulate location on a building lot. Satellite dishes may not be placed in a front yard. We have received calls pro and con concerning these dishes. Mayor Hurley then stated the Council would hear brief comments from the audience, but there would be a public hearing on this matter later. Council recognized Rae Herring, a dealer, in opposition to the strict regulation on the placement of these dishes. She offered additional remarks in support of her opinion. Mr. Jones asked questions about the scrambling of signals. Mayor Hurley thanked Ms. Herring for her remarks. Council next recognized Mr. Hurley Crist, a dealer, with remarks concerning dishes being regulated as buildings. He stated they were actually antennas. A lot of churches and educational institutions are using them here in the community. He asked that they be permitted to have input in the process. Mayor Hurley replied that this could come at the public hearing. Council also recognized Mrs. Marie Pressler, a county resident, who stated that she and others had spoken to the City Manager and he was most considerate with their problems. She stated she represented the amateur radio operators of the area and asked that they also be allowed to give input.

Following this, Mayor Hurley thanked everyone for speaking, and stated the Council would seek additional input at the public hearing on the matter. B. Statement of tax collections for the month of July 1985: The City Manager stated that such statement had been received from the tax collector and requested that receipt of this report be made a matter of record in these minutes. The City Clerk was so directed. Council then entered into a discussion concerning Cablevision. The City Manager stated that a memo had been sent to the Council on the survey which had been conducted and guidance was requested by the Administration. Mrs. Evans moved that the Mayor appoint a committee from the Council to negotiate with the principals at the local Cablevision company. Motion seconded by Mr. Jones. Following some further discussion, Mr. Wofford opposed the motion on the grounds that the legal advisors state Cablevision owes the City the money and Cablevision agrees to pay on condition. They should pay all arrears fees due the City first. They want additional concessions prior to payment, but they should pay first he stated. The staff needs to draft a bill and send it to them requesting payment by a specified time or go to court with it. Lengthy discussion followed. Mr. Jones then withdrew his second and suggested referring the matter to the attorney, City Manager and Mayor. Following further discussion, Mr. McBryde moved that the staff draft the bill suggested by Mr. Wofford, send it to Cablevision requesting payment by a specified date or take them to court if they don't pay it. Motion seconded by Mr. Wofford who asked to include getting advice from the attorney as to a specific date, or period of time that would be reasonable and make sure that is included in whatever correspondence the City Attorney and City Manager have with Cablevision and put a time limit on the payment in full and that this be made a special item of the Audit Firm of Haigh, Byrd and Lambert, CPA's. Some discussion then followed and Mayor stated the Council would be voting on the concept of the drafting of the bill to be sent to Cablevision. Mayor Hurley then called for a vote on the motion and it carried. Mrs. Evans voting no. Mr. Wofford then moved that the market survey on Cablevision be made available to the public immediately, seconded by Mr. McBryde. Mrs. Evans then suggested that all negotiations be killed immediately. Discussion followed. Mayor Hurley then called for a vote on the motion and it carried. Mrs. Evans voting no. Mr. McBryde then suggested that Cablevision be present at the next meeting to discuss the “must carry” ruling by the Supreme Court and of their plans concerning which channels will be affected. Following some discussion Mr. McBryde withdrew his suggestion until a later date at the suggestion of the City Attorney. 8. Matters of Interest to Council: Mr. Jones stated that he was very impressed with the grass cutting in the downtown area and requested continuance of this where necessary. Mr. McBryde asked the City Manager about the 911 emergency system. The City Manager replied he hoped to have a report at the next meeting with the recommendation. Mr. Wofford stated that the City Charter says that the City Council should approve Public Works Commissioner's salaries annually and he does not remember ever doing this. The City Manager stated that it is a part of the budget process. Mr. Wofford stated the City Council should see it and consider it. The City Manager stated there was no change from last year. Mr. Wofford suggested that Administration look into a three- to four-year down-the-road look at garbage collection on holidays and come up with a plan for equalizing the number of pickups over a multi-year period to switching the days every two or three years. He suggested that Monday-Thursday be changed to Tuesday-Friday pickups and back again periodically. Mr. Wofford mentioned the memo from the City Attorney regarding gifts to City employees and suggested that the Policy Committee consider this matter.

Consideration of acquiring the County's interest in a vacant lot, Tax Parcel #61.4.2/648/47, for future use in the proposed connection of Langdon Street to Commonwealth Avenue. The recommended action was to authorize offer of $1,020. Mr. Jerry Howland, Engineering Department, presented this matter for City Engineer, Robert Bennett, who was absent and stated that sometime ago, the City received an offer of $1,200 for the purchase of this lot. This lot was foreclosed on for delinquent taxes by the County a number of years ago. The City owns a 15% interest in the lot and the County owns an 85% interest in the lot. The County has approved the sale of the lot at $1,200 with their portion being $1,020 (85%). In reviewing the possible disposal of this property, we find the proposed Langdon Street/Commonwealth Avenue connection would cross the portion of the lot. If the roadway is built sometime in the future; and, if the lot is sold, then a portion of the lot would have to be acquired. We recommend the City acquire the County's interest in the lot for $1,020 and holding the lot in City ownership until the roadway is built, at which time a portion of the lot can be offered for sale that will perhaps be more valuable than the roadway in place. There was then some discussion of the matter. Following this discussion, Mrs. Evans offered motion to request the County to deed to property to the City free and clear.

This memo is to inform you that I plan to take a poll of the Council on the matter on Tuesday, September 3. Mayor Hurley stated the purpose of this discussion would be to establish a policy. Mrs. Evans commented on the issue. Mr. Wofford stated that City Officials should not participate in fundraising drives. Mrs. Evans commented further. Mrs. Felton stated there is a need in many areas and they should not affect City Councilmembers. Mr. Jones then commented on the issue. Following this discussion, Mrs. Evans offered motion that Councilmembers may participate in community fund drives and charities without it being a conflict of interest. Motion seconded by Mrs. Felton. Following some discussion, Mayor Hurley called for a vote on the motion and it carried unanimously. 7. Appointments: A. Election of Mr. Richard G.

Consideration of recommendation from Revitalization Commission for some street work along the 100 block of Person Street. The City Engineer presented this matter and stated that some time ago the Council decided to try the 90 degree parking in lieu of the angle parking in the 100 block of Person Street. This provided a number of additional spaces which is desirable for the merchants in this area. A problem has come about by the existing high curb and the high crown of Person Street, which causes front bumpers to strike the curb. A proposal to correct this problem was submitted to Revitalization Commission at their last meeting. This is a temporary solution until the decision is made to construct new curbs and landscaping features. This temporary solution is to add a wedge-shaped strip of asphalt approximately six feet wide and three inches deep along each gutter line. This would make the curb height about normal and would alleviate most of the problem. Some very low cars may continue to strike the curb due to the high crown; however, most car bumpers will overhang the curb without striking. This work can be accomplished for about $6,000.00. We recommend accommodating the request of the Revitalization Commission. There was then some discussion of the matter. Following this, Mr. Jones offered motion to follow the foregoing recommendation of the City Engineer and raise the street curb line, seconded by Mrs. Felton and carried unanimously. 8. Consideration of amendments to Chapter 14 of the Fayetteville City Code concerning the Clearing of Lots.

RESOLUTION PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA - IMPROVING MURCHISON ROAD BETWEEN WADDELL DRIVE AND U.S. 401 BYPASS. RESOLUTION NO. R1985-99. 5. Consideration of request by Mr. Claude T. Haley, Jr., of 3606 Clearwater Drive, for piping a drainage ditch. (Continued from September 16). The City Engineer presented this matter and stated that Mr. Haley owns property on each side of a drainage ditch that serves a considerable portion of Hillendale subdivision area. He has requested the City construct an underground storm drainage system and close the ditch. We have established the cost for this at $8,700. The storm drainage installation is clearly within the Council adopted storm drainage policy, by which the City is obligated to pay one-half of the costs. We explained this to Mr. Haley, however he feels there are some special circumstances and that he should not be required to pay one-half of the cost. This portion of Hillendale subdivision, including Clearwater Drive was constructed a number of years prior to being annexed into the City. If the subdivision had been developed within the City, the developer would have been required to install pipe in lieu of leaving the open ditch. In that case, the cost would have been passed on the home buyers. We recommend the application of the City policy in this case and offering further relief on an assessment basis (five years) if Mr. Haley should submit a petition for the work to be done on an assessment basis. There was then some discussion of the matter. Council then recognized Mr. Haley, who stated the background behind this problem began in 1977, when I purchased my lot and began construction of my house on Clearwater Drive. This street was virtually a dead end with very few houses on it. In 1978, development began in the new part of Hillendale and storm drains put in all the streets that then emptied into the ditch running beside my property. I do not know how the storm drains are routed from that subdivision, but the depth of the drainage ditch has increased for four feet to eight feet or ten feet deep and serious erosion is taking place, weakening my driveway pad. I do not feel this is in any way my responsibility to have the problem corrected. Mr. Haley displayed pictures of the area. Mr. Wofford commented that the City may be should handle this matter. The City Engineer commented on the numerous requests that he received for this same purpose. Mr. Haley was recognized with further comments. There was then further discussion of the matter. Mr. Jones then offered motion that the City Manager and Mr. Haley work out a plan of cost and bring back to City Council. Motion seconded by Mrs. Felton. Mayor Hurley then called for a vote on the motion and it was as follows: For - Councilmembers Jones and Felton. Against - Councilmembers Wofford, Dawkins, McBryde, Evans and Mayor Hurley. Mayor Hurley declared the motion failed. 6. Consideration of amendments to Chapter 14 of the Fayetteville City Code concerning the Clearing of Lots. (Second reading) Adoption was recommended. Mr. Wofford offered motion to adopt the ordinance on second reading, seconded by Mr. McBryde. Mrs. Evans offered substitute motion that the Policy Committee meet and clarify and bring back to City Council. Motion seconded by Mr. Jones. Council recognized Mrs. Violet Forbis, who suggested that a copy of the ordinance by sent out with each letter to property owners and offered further comments concerning the matter. There was then extensive discussion. Mayor Hurley then called for a vote on the substitute motion and it was as follows: For - Mayor Hurley, Councilmembers Evans, Jones and Felton. Against - Councilmembers Dawkins, McBryde and Wofford. Mayor Hurley declared the substitute motion carried. Mayor Hurley then declared a five-minute break. Mayor Hurley then called Council back to order and called on the City Manager who reviewed the action taken and the present ordinance. The City Attorney asked shall we continue to enforce the present ordinance. The City Attorney requested that action be continued on the foregoing matter until the Policy Committee meeting. Mrs. Evans then called a Policy Committee meeting for Tuesday, October 15, at 7:00 p.m. at the Kyle House to discuss the foregoing matter. 7. Consideration of amendments to Chapter 22 of the Fayetteville City Code, “Personnel." Adoption was recommended. Mayor Hurley informed Council that petitions had been left in the Mayor's Office today opposing abolishment of the Civil Service Commission. The City Manager presented this matter and gave details from the memo in the agenda packet. He also provided information from a survey of other cities. Mr. Wofford proposed that we entertain questions from the City Council on this matter and have a public hearing at a later date. Mayor Hurley stated that he would hear questions from the Council at this time. Mr. Wofford asked a question on the grievance procedure and the City Manager reviewed the process for him. There was then a very lengthy discussion of this matter. Mayor Hurley then recognized persons from the audience. A Mrs. Ross was recognized with comments on employee protection under the proposed ordinance. Mr. Clinton Harris was recognized with comments on the survey made of the other cities. Mr. Burton was recognized with comments on the petitions containing 1,220 signatures which were delivered to the Mayor today. Mr. Alfonzo McKoy was recognized with comments and stated that the citizens have had no input in this matter. A Mr. Rick Young was recognized with comments on attorneys at hearings. Following this, Mrs. Evans moved that copies of the ordinance be placed in the Mayor's Office and that the City Council have a public hearing on the matter on October 21. Motion seconded by Mr. Wofford. There was then further discussion of the matter and Mayor Hurley called for a vote on the motion and it carried unanimously. 8. Consideration of granting authority to proceed with implementation of the Coordinated Human Services Transportation System. Approval was recommended. Assistant City Manager Roger Stancil reviewed his memo on this subject in the agenda packet and requested authority to proceed. Mr. McBryde offered motion for approval as recommended, seconded by Mr. Wofford and carried unanimously. 9. Consideration of adoption of resolution stating DBE goals for fiscal year 1986. Adoption of the resolution was recommended. The City Manager presented this matter and recommended approval. He stated that this is the annual resolution setting our MBE/WBE goals for FY 1986. The resolution sets these goals at 10.6 percent for MBE's and 3 percent WSE's. This is an increase from this year's goals of 10 percent and .2 percent respectively. We believe that these goals are achievable. We have more than reached our goals in the past and have received highly complimentary remarks from UMTA concerning our efforts. We recommend that Council adopt the resolution. Following a brief discussion, Mr. Wofford moved for adoption of the resolution as recommended, seconded by Mr. McBryde and carried unanimously. RESOLUTION - DBE POLICY STATEMENT. RESOLUTION NO. R1985-100. 10. Consideration of assignment of unfunded transit operating authority to N.C. DOT. Approval was recommended. Mr. Dawkins offered motion for approval, seconded by Mr. McBryde. The City Manager and Jerome Brown of the transit system presented this matter and stated that for the year in question the City of Fayetteville's total operating authority was $859,907. We were appropriated $652,632 directly by UMTA. We did not even spend all of our appropriation. The request from NCDOT is that we assign the unfunded balance between our operating authority and our appropriation ($207,275) to them. They have sufficient appropriations to fund this operating authority in other areas of the state. Mayor Hurley then called for a vote on the motion and it carried unanimously. 11. Consideration of CAP Ordinance Amendment Change 86-5 to CAP 9 (Transit Capital Grant for transit garage renovation). Adoption was recommended.

Mr. McBryde and others replied that there was no truth to the statement. 16. Administrative Reports: A. Statement of tax collections for month of September 1985. The City Manager stated that receipt of this statement should be noted in the minutes of this meeting. B. On an additional matter, the City Manager stated that concerning turkey shoots under current City ordinance, the discharge of a firearm is prohibited in the City limits. We have recently annexed an area where the Massey Hill Lions Club holds its annual turkey shoot. I received a call asking if an exception could be made or a permit issued. This cannot be done without an ordinance amendment. I have discussed this with the Chief of Police who feels that so long as a permit is requested and certain restrictions are enforced that these events could be permitted in certain areas without any problems. I am bringing this to your attention to ask if you wish us to draft such an amendment for your consideration. Following brief discussion, it was agreed that the City Manager would draft an amendment for City Council to consider. 17. Matters of Interest to Council: Mr. Jones stated that he had received complaints on the raising of manholes and valve boxes in streets which are to be paved or repaved. The City Engineer was requested to check this.

Consideration of approval of bid on Contract #858612 (Engineering Department Project #04-322-85) - Street Construction and Installation of PWC Utilities. Approval was recommended. The City Engineer presented this matter and stated that we recommend awarding of the contract to the overall low bidder, McDonald Grading Company in the amount of $1,500,249.75.

Last year the City acquired through the subdivision review process a small triangular tract of right-of-way on the west side of Murchison Road. This was conveyed to the City without charge and is now needed by NCDOT for the widening project. We recommend approval of this conveyance and authorization for the Mayor and the Clerk to sign the deed to the state. Mr. McBryde offered motion to approve the foregoing as recommended, seconded by Mr. Jones, and carried unanimously. 12. Consideration of Resolution changing the name of North King Street to Pepsi Lane. Adoption of the resolution was recommended. Mr. Jones offered motion for adoption of the resolution.

This landscape design has been approved by the Appearance Commission and the Revitalization Commission with a recommendation that the project proceed. If Council approves this landscaping, we will ask for bids on the work immediately. The work consists of planting several trees, shrubs, and ground cover. Irrigation is also planned for each corner and island. To bring the project within the allocation, it is planned for the Street Maintenance personnel to provide some of the labor.

Consideration of amendment to Section 20-76 of the City Code to add as Item “L" “No Parking Within 15 feet of Driveway". Adoption of the ordinance was recommended. The City Engineer presented this matter and stated that during our review of several recent citizens' complaints regarding vehicles parking in or near their driveways, it has become apparent that there is currently no restriction in the City Code to prohibit such activity. In order to alleviate this problem, we would recommend that the above referenced section of the City Code covering places in which parking is prohibited he amended to add: Item (L) - within 15 feet of either edge of a private road or driveway with a public street. This would allow City staff to control parking in driveways without necessitating a separate ordinance for each citizen complaint. There was then some discussion of the matter. Mr. McBryde then offered motion to adopt the ordinance but change the 15 feet to 5 feet, seconded by Mr. Wofford, and carried unanimously.

Administrative Reports: A. Report on traffic operations at the intersection of Green/Old Streets. The City Engineer presented this matter and stated that we have received from Rose and Purcell, Inc., on behalf of First Citizens Bank, proposals for improving traffic operations at this intersection. The proposal will provide an additional drive-in window within the First Citizens parking deck and would provide for dual-stacking lanes on the approaches to two drive-in windows. They now only have one lane, and a backup from this existing drive-in window of ten blocks the Green Street sidewalk and one lane of Green Street through the intersection. This additional drive-in window will double vehicle stacking capacity. Another improvement they are suggesting is revision of the islands to accommodate three lanes on Bow Street approach to Green. This revision will provide some operational improvements at the intersection. We recommend approval of these changes; and, if there is to be any expense to the City, we will report back to the City Council. He recommended that this was for City Council review only tonight. There was then a general discussion of the left turn situation at this intersection and the City Engineer informed Council that NCDOT had been requested to approve these left turn signals. To date no answer had been received from them and the time is running out for DOT to do this and we can and will now implement these improvements ourselves. The City Council will review the recommendations made by the City Engineer on this matter. On an additional administrative report item, City Manager John Smith stated that Mr. Gammon is still working on the municipal market and trying to arrange financing by the end of December. Also recall the lease agreement has expired.

He stated it takes ten days to advertise. Mr. McBryde offered motion to approve the foregoing as requested, seconded by Mr. Jones, and carried unanimously. 20.
