PUBLIC HEARING ON SECONDARY ROADS IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FOR FY87-88 Richard Pugh, member of the State Board of Transportation for this district, conducted a public hearing on the secondary roads improvement program for Randolph County for the fiscal year 87-88. He introduced Lex Kelly, District Engineer; Fred Whitesell, Division Engineer; Bill Rosser, Assistant Division Engineer; and Bob Nelson, Highway Supervisor in Randolph County, who assisted in answering citizens' questions. Mr. Pugh told citizens present that because of EPA regulations, D.O.T. can no longer oil unpaved roads or put sand on roads that have been oiled. He said he wants to investigate methods of controlling the dust on Randolph County's unpaved roads, possibly with the use of oil. Mr. Whitesell noted that there is a state policy which places standards on oil used on roads; it can contain no metals, pcb's, etc. Mr. Pugh explained the property owner participation program, which currently costs each owner $8 per front foot to pave. Mr. Kelly read the proposed secondary improvements program for 87-88, which should be completed by next summer. Mr. Pugh explained the priority system and how roads can be paved out of priority. He then opened the floor for disucssion. A resident asked why both ends of SR2438 had been paved and the middle .7 mile left unpaved. Mr. Pugh said he would investigate this. Many voiced complaints about the quality of gravel put down by D.O.T. They continually get punctured tires. Mr. Pugh said he would bring this up at the next state board meeting. A resident of SR1304 complained of an unpaved section on her road. A resident from SR1332 asked why his road was not paved last year, as it was listed as #4 on the priority list. Mr. Kelly checked the list and said 1332 was listed as #8 on that list. Mr. Sylvan Routh of SR2448 said the priority system should be changed. Residents of SR2442 and SR2406 said they have a lot of traffic traveling these roads on the way to the Sandy Creek dumpster. A resident of SR2444 said his road needs widening and improving because of two blind curves on the road and he showed photographs of the blind curves. A resident of SR1549 said he was told his road couldn't be paved because it has a one -lane bridge and there is no bridge money available. He asked why D.O.T. Commissioners Minutes June 1, 1987 Page 2 couldn't spend less on paving and more on maintaining unpaved roads. On motion of Langley, seconded by Comer, the Board approved a resolution outlining the secondary roads improvement program for 87-88 as it was presented. Resolution included by reference. FORESTRY AWARD Vic Owen, District Forester for ten counties, including Randolph, presented a trophy to Steve Pearce, Randolph County Forester, in recognition of Randolph's reforestation program. Last year they planted 1,266 acres of new forest and managed 152 acres of natural regeneration, which accounted for 1/3 of the reforestation in the district. Mr. Owen indicated there would be an open house at the new County head- quarters at the Zoo later this summer and discussed beautification work being done around the fire tower on Dave's Mountain. He also warned Commissioners that experts have predicted that the gypsy moth will be firmly established in North Carolina within 7 years, although none have been found in Randolph County so far. CABLE TV FRANCHISE APLICATIONS Manager Frank Willis informed the Board that cable TV franchise applications have been received from ATC and Alert and that both applications meet qualifi- cations outlined in the cable TV regulatory ordinance. He said the franchises must be approved at two regular meetings and a public hearing must be held on each. Jack Stanley of ATC spoke in support of his company's application, noting that ATC currently holds franchises for certain townships in Randolph under an old ordinance. He indicated that ATC has in progress an expansion of some 86 miles to their current system, with the expansion areas being north of Randleman to Guilford County and in the Archdale area. They are building a dedicated trunk system in the Randleman area to take care of future growth. The expansion areas pass about 1300 homes. He said the northern expansion areas should be in service by mid-August. ATC is waiting for utility permits now. All expansion in progress should be completed by the end of the year. Frank Kivett of Alert said his company plans to proceed into the areas proposed on maps submitted as soon as their application is approved. On motion of Comer, seconded by Langley, the Board approved the first reading of a franchise ordinance for Alert Cable TV of N.C., Inc., which would grant Alert a franchise to operate anywhere in the unincorporated areas of Randolph County for a period of twenty years. On motion of Langley, seconded by Davidson, the Board approved the first reading of a franchise ordinance for American Television and Communications Corporation, which would grant American Television and Communications Corporation a franchise to operate anywhere in the unincorporated areas of Randolph County for a period of twenty years. The Board set a public hearing on both applications for 2:30 p.m., July 6, 1987. SURPLAS PROPERTY AUCTION SALE Patty Sykes, Purchasing Agent, presented a resolution with listed items of surplus property designated to be sold at auction on June 13, 1987. She told the Board that an Adler typewriter should be deleted from the list and a 1983 Ford ambulance should be added. On motion of Langley, seconded by Comer, the Board approved the resolution with the deletion and addition and amended it by adding the time of 10:00 a.m. as the designated time of the auction. Resolution included by reference. Commissioners Minutes June 1, 1987 Page 3 LANDFILL UPKEEP CONTRACT Mrs. Sykes introduced the proposed landfill upkeep contract with Wayne Wright, who holds the current contract. George Elliott, Health Director, explained that the reason the contract amount is higher than before is because Mr. Wright will be taking over additional responsibilities from the County. The gatekeeper will be his employee rather than the County's and he will take over maintenance of the landfill road and erosion control. Mr. Wright has agreed to keep the landfill open four Saturdays during the year until 4:30 p.m. No commercial waste will be received after noon on those Saturdays, however. The County will not be charged for these four days of expanded hours. Mr. Elliott told the Board that during a recent state inspection of the landfill, we received a perfect score. On motion of Comer, seconded by Langley, the Board approved a four-year contract with Wright Grading Company, beginning July 1, 1987. LIBRARY COMPUTER CONTRACT Mrs. Sykes introduced a proposed contract with General Research Corporation to provide bibliographic data processing for the Public Library. Nancy Brenner, Library Director, explained that the contract deals with putting their current list of holdings into the computer. They have money budgeted already for this service from state and federal funds received. On motion of Comer, seconded by Langley, the Board approved the contract effective June 1, 1987. MONITORING WELLS FOR THE LANDFILL George Elliott presented two proposed contracts with Wilson Engineerinv; one for installation of monitoring wells at the landfill and the other for engineering and testing services on the wells. On motion of Davidson, seconded by Comer, the Board approved these two contracts with Wilson Engineering Associates. REQUEST FOR LE= OF INi'ENr - COUNTY SCHOOLS George Fleetwood, Superintendent of County Schools, explained to the Board that contracts need to be let immediately for asbestos removal from two schools, so that work can commence as soon is the school year ends and can be completed before it starts aL-ain this fall. Since this action will take place before the new budget year beginning July 1, 1987, he needs a letter of intent from the Board of Commissioners stating that the County Schools will be allocated at least $50,000 for the upcoming budget year. On motion of. Comer, seconded by Langley, the Board approved such a letter of intent to be sent from the County Manager to Dr. Fleetwood. RESOLUTIONS ESTABLISHING FIRE DISTRICTS FOR FARMER AND FRANKLINVIU E Don Heard, Fire Marshal, presented resolutions calling for the establishment of fire districts for Farmer and Franklinville, following successful elections on May 5, 1987 for both.
