City Attorney Cogswell presented a proposed local act regarding land acquisition and disposal procedures for Redevelopment projects. He stated that one of the major problems that has existed under the old Urban Redevelopment Law is that it is inconsistent with the way that UDAG grants operate. He further stated that when they put forth time, effort and money in planning they still have to assume the risk of a bid process in order to acquire the land for their particular project. Councilmember Johnson offered motion to follow the recommendation of the City Attorney and ask delegation to pass this local act on land acquisition and disposal procedures for Redevelopment projects, seconded by Councilmember Jones and carried unanimously. Councilmember Johnson requested that the City Attorney draw up some type of legislation enterprising zone so that when that bill passes Congress we can set up some zones here. 9. The next item for consideration was Budget Ordinance Amendment - Change 6.

Some are simply distributions of appropriations from a central account into the various departmental accounts.

There was some discussion by Council concerning requests by people to be put on the agenda under Delegation. This will be discussed further at the Policy Committee meeting. 14.

Following the completion of Mr. Monaghan's report, Council was very pleased to offer their blessings on the continuation of the project. 15. Matters of Interest to Council: A. Discussion of cablevision. Following some discussion of the cablevision possibilities, Councilmember Evans offered motion to explore the feasibility of a municipally operated cablevision system as to advisability, as to cost, as to ways and means and as to financial return. The motion was seconded by Councilmembers Johnson and Wofford and carried unanimously. B. Mr. Jones addressed his comment to the City Engineer regarding delegates approaching him from the St. James Lutheran Church regarding the fence separating their property from the street and the numerous times this had been damaged. He stated that part of it is down at this time and they are concerned about whose responsibility it is to repair this fence. Councilmember Evans stated that there would be a meeting of the Economic Committee on Monday, March 21, at 9 a.m. at the Kyle House. Councilmember Johnson asked the question of who pays for the City's cars being washed in the car wash. The City Manager responded that the City does but that there was going to be a budget request for a car wash to be installed by the City. The Councilmembers seemed in favor of this idea. Councilmember Dawkins complimented the Engineering Department on how well the new circulation portion of Hay Street seems to be working. Be asked about the possible need for a blinker light to be installed at the intersection of Anderson and Old Streets. The City Engineer responded that a signal light was approved and has been ordered for that location. Councilmember McBryde stated that he has had a request for a stop light at Longview. He also wanted to make note that the Youth Council and City Council ball game has been changed to April 14 from April 13. Mr. Wofford also stated that several of the merchants along the Old Street area where the parking lot is located has requested that there be a validation of twenty cents for the parking in that lot. He also asked the City Manager to bring back some figures on how much money is being taken in at that lot and how many people are parking there. Councilmember Wofford wanted to echo Mr. Dawkins' comment on how well the turnaround had been made on the Old Street traffic. Mr. Wofford reminded everyone of the Policy Committee meeting tomorrow night, March 15 at the Old Courthouse Public Hearing Room No. 1 to consider the sidewalk policy.

There will be a Legislative Day in Raleigh on May 12. Mayor Hurley stated he also received a serious complaint from the press because they feel discriminated against by having hard seats when everyone else has the cushion seats.

The recommended action was approval. The City Manager presented this item and stated the Capital Projects Management Team had been discussing the need for a full-time site representative on the Transit Mall Project. This individual would not be responsible for the technical construction inspection, but rather for coordinating with merchants along the Mall and the contractors as well as with utility agencies and other City departments involved. Because of the complexity of this project, he stated, and its sensitivity insofar as its potential impact on businesses during construction, we feel that this position is essential. We intend to apply to UMTA for funding for the position, we hope to get 80% funding, however, if that is not possible, we will charge it against Transit Operations for 50% reimbursement. The position will be a temporary position for the duration of construction. The position will not add to the Transit Operating Budget due to the fact that ATC has recommended the elimination of five full-time positions in the Transit Department, three operators and two supervisors. Three of the five have already been placed in other vacancies in other City departments. The elimination of these five positions will not affect the service provided, he concluded. Mr. Wofford asked if this position would be filled by a Transit employee and the City Manager replied in the negative, he stated he would consider hiring a retired engineer for this position. Following some discussion, Mrs. Evans offered motion to authorize the City Manager to hire the site representative as recommended on a temporary basis, seconded by Mr. Jones. Rev. Johnson offered comment that he already sees a savings on this project due to this recommendation. Following some further discussion, Mayor Hurley called for vote on the motion and it carried, Mr. McBryde abstaining. 6. Consideration of policy on Delegations. The recommended action was adoption of the policy. The City Manager presented this item and explained the amended policy concerning public hearings and delegations. Following some discussion, Mr. Dawkins suggested that Item B Delegations be limited to five minutes. Mr. Wofford offered suggestion that Council needed a third option under Item B Delegations in that if it was not an agenda item, the delegate would state his name and subject and if not heard, then he would be placed on an agenda for the next meeting. Rev. Johnson recommended a fourth option that if the Mayor or a City Councilmember wished to recognize any individual to come before City Council, then it should be granted under Item B Delegations. Following some detailed discussion of this item, Mr. Jones offered motion to leave the policy as it is and delete Item 6 from the agenda this evening, seconded by Mrs. Evans. There was then some further discussion. Following this, Mr. McBryde offered a substitute motion to refer this item to the Policy Committee for study, seconded by Mr. Dawkins. Following some further discussion, Mr. Wofford offered a second substitute motion to accept the policy as it is except that in paragraph B Delegations, individuals would be limited to five minutes unless waived by the City Council, seconded by Rev. Johnson and upon being put to vote carried unanimously. 7. Appointments: A. Nominations to fill the unexpired term of Marion C. George, Jr., on the PWC Retirement Plan Board (category - Accountant, preferably certified). Rev. Johnson submitted for nomination the name of Mr. J.V. Parham.

Bragg has a sign on the Military Museum on Interstate 95 now. He stated that a short while ago, he and Mr. John Corbett, Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, had visited the Mayor and suggested that the City hold a Dogwood Festival annually and it had received approval. Mr. Little then suggested to the Council that the City go back to the metal type plate for automobiles to publicize the annual Dogwood Festival. This concluded Mr. Little's remarks and Mayor Hurley stated to him that he would give his suggestion to the City Manager for recommendation. The City Manager stated that the City is now using the decal type licenses in lieu of the metal plates in view of the costs, but that he would check this matter out and come back to City Council with a recommendation. Council then recognized Mr. and Mrs. Bill Chason of Skye Drive. Mr. Chason stated their property is located on a cul-de-sac. He stated the problem is that the circle is still owned by the City and he wants a quick deed for his property in the circle. He stated he had talked to the City Attorney, the City Engineer, the Planning Board and others about this problem. In response to question, the City Attorney made a rough drawing of the location and showed it to the City Council. Drawing was of the cul-de-sac and the site plan. He stated that the matter will take considerable research at the court house. He stated he had not had a chance to check this thoroughly. He requested the opportunity to do so and bring it back before City Council. Mr. Wofford suggested that this matter be placed on the agenda for the next meeting after the information is received from the City Attorney and this was satisfactory. 9. City Manager's report: A. Discussion of Sanitation ordinance and policy. The City Manager informed Council that the recommended amendment to the sanitation ordinance will help clear up some of the current confusion and will make enforcement somewhat less painless. It will allow us to pick up loose debris and charge for the cost of collection except during the months of November through February and on authorized clean up days. This is a much better procedure than issuing citations for failure to comply, he stated. He urged the Council to adopt this method of abatement rather than any action which would remove the restrictions in the ordinance. The Sanitation Department, through a campaign of public relations and education, has persuaded the vast majority of the City residents to containerize loose debris. For the City to loosen its requirements now would be a step back from the accomplishment of one of Council's major goals which is a cleaner looking City. Those neighborhoods in which the residents containerize their trash for regular twice a week collection are cleaner and much more attractive, he concluded. He suggested that Item E in the amendment be changed to read loose leaves and pine straw rather than heavy debris and under Section 14-17 that the words “on construction sites" be deleted. Following some discussion, Mr. Dawkins suggested adding the change “any other time authorized by City Council" to Item E. Mr. McBryde suggested the pick up of leaves into Spring due to the Dogwood Festival. Following some lengthy discussion of this matter, Mrs. Evans offered motion to adopt the ordinance as presented by the City Manager, amending paragraph B, heavy debris, to read at no cost during months set by the City Council, motion seconded by Mr. Dawkins. Mr. Wofford offered suggestion that the Sanitation Department hang a tag on carts for the information of citizens giving complete details on pick ups. Further discussion followed. The City Manager suggested “on Council authorized clean up days", in paragraph E. Mayor Hurley then called for vote on the motion and it carried, Rev. Johnson voting no. The ordinance title appears below. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 14 “GARBAGE, TRASH AND WEEDS" SECTION 14-14 SCHEDULE OF FEES FOR EXTRA SANITATION DEPARTMENT SERVICES AND ADDING A NEW SECTION 14-17 “CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS". ORDINANCE NO. S1983-3. A copy of the foregoing ordinance is on file in the Clerk's Office in Ordinance Book S1983. The City Manager informed Council that he had received a request from the North Carolina Department of Natural and Economic Resources for the passage of a resolution requesting that Kayellen Street be removed from the City system of streets and placed on the State street system and that Kayellen Street be renamed Soffe Drive. Following a brief discussion, Mr. McBryde offered motion for adoption of the resolution, seconded by Mr. Jones and carried unanimously. The resolution title appears below. RESOLUTION REQUESTING KAYELLEN STREET BE REMOVED FROM CITY SYSTEM AND TRANSFERRED TO STATE SYSTEM AND BE RENAMED SOFFE DRIVE. RESOLUTION NO. R1983-18. A copy of the foregoing resolution is on file in the Clerk's Office in Resolutions Book R1983. The City Manager reported that concerning parking lot no. 7, he could find no mention in the minutes of the Council's validation of 20 cents per hour parking fee. He requested action by the Council to set this 20 cents per hour validation fee. Mr. Dawkins then offered motion to set the 20 cents per hour validation as requested by the City Manager, seconded by Rev. Johnson and carried unanimously. The City Manager then gave a report to the Council on the revenue and operating cost of parking lot no. 7. Be stated that at the present time the lot is loosing about $12.38 per day, but that this validation action would bring the revenue up. He stated with 40% occupancy of this lot, the operation will approximately break even. The City Attorney reported to Council on a memo on insurance for the parade during the Spring activities. Be stated the Council can require insurance to protect the City employees during these activities. He requested that the City Council adopt an amending ordinance to Section 20-167 of the Code regarding surety and insurance for parades and motorcades. Mr. Dawkins offered motion for adoption of the ordinance as recommended by the City Attorney, seconded by Mr. Wofford and carried unanimously. The ordinance title appears below. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 20 “MOTOR VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC" SECTION 20-167 SURETY AND INSURANCE. ORDINANCE NO. S1983-4. A copy of the foregoing ordinance is on file in the Clerk's Office in Ordinance Book S1983. The City Attorney also reported to the Council that he had received the deed giving the City clear title to the annex property. Mayor Hurley reminded Council of the meeting tomorrow night at 7:00 p.m. with Recreation and Parks. The City Manager reminded Council of the information meeting set for Tuesday, March 29 in the City Hall. 10. Matters of Interest: Rev. Johnson referred to the recent sidewalk matter vote at the last meeting. He requested rescinding action on this matter for another vote. The City Attorney stated that he must give notice in writing of this request and the City Manager stated when this is done it would be put on the next agenda. Mrs. Evans asked the City Engineer about the bridge repair on Hawley Lane and the rubbish along the creek. The City Engineer stated the bridge repair is in the immediate future and that the property owners would be contacted concerning the rubbish.

Mr. Smith stated that Genie Steam Association in Swansboro, N.C., has asked that the old horse drawn steam fire pumper behind the Bordeaux Shopping Center be donated to them for restoration and display. Mr. Smith suggested that Council authorize him to check into this and see what would be best for the fire engine, but he would personally like to keep it in Fayetteville.

Mr. Smith reported to Council that he had appointed Assistant Fire Chief Wilbur Johnson as interim Chief of the Fire Department, who was Assistant Chief for Administration and did not work shift work. Mr. Smith stated that he plans to advertise the position of Fire Chief and begin interviews in approximately 30 days, which, should be after the bill is passed in legislature regarding the Civil Service Commission. The last item Mr. Smith presented to Council was regarding a phone call he received from Congressman Rose's office asking for the number of Councilmembers that are to attend the Saturday morning breakfast. Council advised him that they had already responded. Council asked Mr. Smith to report on the progress on acquiring a site representative for the Transit Mall. He responded that good applications had been received and the Capital Projects Team should begin interviews right away. 14. Matters of Interest to Council: Mr. Jones stated that he had received several calls regarding Carroll Street at the King Shopping Center concerning the poor condition of the road. It was established that this is a non-dedicated road owned by the King Shopping Center and the City cannot maintain this road. Following some discussion, Council instructed the Engineering Department to put a sign at the end of Carroll Street stating that this is the end of City maintenance. Mr. Jones further stated he had received several requests that a park be put in the Raeford Road area in the vicinity of Glendale Acres. Mayor Hurley responded that an attempt had been made several years ago to put a park in the area but the Marlborough Road residents strongly objected to this because of the noise, lights, and strangers that it would bring into their area. One more item that Mr. Jones was concerned about was the fact that the gates were left down on parking lot number 7 during the weekend, and some people were upset because they could not use the lot for church on Sunday. Mr. Monaghan explained that Mr. West, Parking Facilities Supervisor, is in charge of this lot and was on vacation last week. Someone failed to make sure the lot was left open for the weekend.

The Revitalization Commission supported the idea and encouraged the Olde Fayetteville Association to begin the search for an appropriate name. Since that time a committee of the association has been at work on the task of finding such a name for the Mall.

Nominations for City Council appointees to the Civil Service Commission under Chapter 22 of the Fayetteville City Code. The City Attorney stated that in the original amendment, it had been overlooked that the City Council is to implement the recommendations of the Study Committee.

City Manager's reports: A. Person Street Parking Proposal. The City Manager stated there was a meeting at the Market House last week with merchants from Person Street regarding proposals presented to the City Council. The proposal has merits and rather than investing a great deal of money now, that we simply concurrent with the beginning of construction on the Olde Fayetteville Commons line off parking in accordance with the proposal, leaving the street open and see how that works out. It may be changed, if desired, he stated. There would be 90 degree angle parking. Speed limit reduction could be done later as well as planter planning.

He stated that there was some confusion with the Airport employees concerning their hours of duty. He stated that recent changes made in the City Code provide that the City Manager would administer Airport employees.

He stated he had contacted other airports in the state and that their management personnel are on call. He stated he wrote the memo to the City Council for their information only on this subject. The City Manager suggested a meeting between the City Council and the Airport Commission to discuss this. Mr. Wofford disagreed and stated that the City Manager should explain guidelines first, then consider a meeting. Mr. McBryde suggested that the Commission's review their responsibilities. The discussion was concluded with Mr. Wofford suggesting that the City Manager study these guidelines and bring back recommendations to the Council.

Mr. Monaghan stated the canopies were erected in the 1960s. He stated he had discussed with the owners the best way to remove them. He stated he had contacted twenty-eight different businesses and most of the owners, and had received different reactions. The property owners said they will work with him in any way they can. He stated that two were not interested. He stated one major property owner was now making changes. Some others wish to leave the canopies as they are. He recommended to the Council that he continue to communicate with the property owners on this matter and that he would bring back an ordinance at a later date for Council's consideration.

PRESENT: Mayor John W. Hurley Councilmembers Milton Wofford, Milo McBryde, J.L. Dawkins, Aaron Johnson, Mildred Evans and Jimmie Jones John P. Smith, City Manager Roger L. Stancil, Assistant City Manager John M. Monaghan, Jr., Assistant City Manager Robert C. Cogswell, Jr., City Attorney Mayor Hurley called the meeting to order and offered the invocation. Mayor Hurley then recognized City Manager Smith who formally presented the 1983-84 Recommended Budget to City Council with the following Budget Message: Submitted herewith is the Recommended Budget for fiscal year 1983-84. The Recommended Budget is fully balanced in accordance with the General Statutes. Estimated revenues plus the appropriations from fund balances equal estimated expenditures. We are estimating for the purposes of this budget that the total assessed value of taxable property in the City of Fayetteville will grow at the rate of 2½% over the current year. The cost of providing services is growing at a higher rate, however we can get through one more year without a tax rate increase. I also feel that it is imperative that we protect our investment in our most important resource, which is our work force, and this Recommended Budget includes funds for a 4% cost of living increase for City employees. Caught between the demands for maintaining services and the public's aversion to increasing the property tax rate, we must seek other sources of revenue while at the same time we seek to expand the tax base through economic development activities. We must also be extremely careful in protecting our fund balance in the General Fund. Many worthwhile requests from the City's departments were not recommended in order to keep the tax rate down and to fund a cost of living increase. I am proposing in this Recommended Budget a new approach to salary administration for executive level positions in the City. This proposal will have very little impact on the budget (0.1% of payroll), but would completely alter the method of establishing rates of pay for the City's highest management employees. Under a separate cover, I am submitting for your consideration an executive pay plan which would begin at Grade 27 in the City's current pay plan. The proposed pay plan for City executive positions provides for minimums and maximums but no steps. Automatic step increases would be eliminated with pay rates established based solely on merit. The maximum merit during any fiscal year for any employee in these classes would be 5%. The cost of implementing the proposed executive pay plan is $7,500. I am requesting another $9,500 for merit increases which comes to 1.67% of the payroll covered by the plan. This is based upon a maximum of 5% merit for one third of the covered employees. Another innovation in this year's budget is the Insurance Fund. The City now has all of its insurance under consolidated administration. For the first time we can accurately assess the cost of covering risk exposure. Since some of our risk exposure is self-insured, such as employee health insurance, Worker's Compensation and various deductibles, we need also to consider maintaining reserves. The purpose of the Insurance Fund is to account for our total risk management (insured and self-insured) under one fund including the cost of administering the risk management program. Another purpose of the Insurance Fund is to begin establishing reserves against future claims. The Insurance Fund does not represent any increase in the City's total budget, but will serve mostly as a pass through and holding account for premiums and claims payments. Administration of the fund comes to only 4.6% of the fund. One program relating to risk exposure that needs attention badly is the City's safety program. The City is currently spending approximately $120,000 annually in Worker's Compensation claims. We are assuming total exposure in this area and our potential risk is too much to totally assume. I am therefore recommending that we approach this situation from two sides. First, we should seek to protect the City against potential catastrophic loss through insurance coverage on a stop-loss basis. No funds are specifically budgeted for this, however after we get some proposals I feel we can amend the budget to cover a reasonable amount of premium cost. The second approach is to greatly expand our efforts in employee safety. Our Insurance and Risk Management Advisory Committee has recommended that the City seek assistance on a consulting basis and also consider employing the equivalent of a full time safety director. I concur in both recommendations. Funds for consulting services are in the Recommended Budget (up to $10,000). Currently the City utilizes one of the General Inspectors in the Inspections Department as City Safety Officer. I feel that the equivalent of a full time person is needed. The funds for this position are available in Other Appropriations (salaries) if it is decided to employ someone. We are also at this time exploring the possibility of utilizing the services of more than one City employee on a part time basis to get the equivalent of one full time. We are also recommending a special appropriation under the Other Appropriations portion of the budget for safety supplies. The special maintenance work force that has been previously discussed with you is budgeted in the Sanitation Department budget where we normally budget the temporary leaf collection crews. Outside agencies are recommended for funding at the same level as the current year. Overall the operating budgets in the General Fund, including Other Appropriations, in the Recommended Budget have been increased 5.5% over the current year. Considering that we held the general fund to a 1.5% increase last year, I do not consider that to be excessive. This represents a 7% growth over two years, or an average of 3.5% per year, which when adjusted for inflation is literally no growth at all. Over the past two years we have been cutting budgets in order to keep up with inflation. The 1983-84 Recommended Budget simply reflects normal growth due to inflation. We are not adding new programs nor are we expanding existing ones. The General Revenue Sharing Recommended Budget only includes the funds for the first quarter of the fiscal year along with leftover funds from the current fiscal year. We will not be able to commit any additional funds until Congress acts to reauthorize the program. The reauthorization of General Revenue Sharing is essential to the City's Capital Improvements Program. Fiscal year 1983-84 promises to be an exciting year for the City with construction beginning on the Olde Fayetteville Commons, the Hay Street Redevelopment Project, continuing efforts in creating new jobs in the community with the Prince Charles Hotel, and other important projects and programs. During the year we will continue those efforts we have been making to get the most service possible from each City dollar spent. After discussion of several and items in the budget, City Council set times to meet for work sessions on the budget: Tuesday, May 31, 7:00 p.m., Kyle House Thursday, June 2, 7:00 p.m., Kyle House Thursday, June 9, 7:00 p.m., Kyle House There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 8:30 p.m. SPECIAL MEETING MAY 31, 1983 FAYETTEVILLE CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL MEETING KYLE HOUSE CONFERENCE ROOM MAY 31, 1983 7:00 P.M.

Council recognized the City Engineer who presented this Item and stated that with the Transit Mall about ready for advertisement for bids, he felt it was time to implement the plan one-way streets. Please recall the plan is for Donaldson/Anderson Streets to be one-way north, between Franklin and Old Streets and for Burgess/Maxwell Streets to be one-way south between Old and Franklin Streets. In order to provide as much parking on these streets as possible, close to the Mall, it is proposed to change the parallel parking on these streets to angle parking with a gain of 24 spaces. Presently there are 36 parallel spaces and the new arrangement would have approximately 60. This arrangement will leave one lane open for traffic. Four loading/unloading zones are planned to serve the Transit Mall merchants, as well as the merchants these one-way streets. To provide adequate time for public information and marking the streets, he suggested that these ordinances effecting these changes be effective July 18. Following brief discussion, Mrs. Evans offered motion to follow the foregoing recommendation of the City Engineer and adopt the ordinances, seconded by Mr. Wofford and carried Mr. McBryde abstaining.

The recommended action was adoption.

Following discussion on these two matters, Mrs. Evans offered motion to follow the recommendation of the City Manager and approve the foregoing Budget Ordinance Amendment and Capital Project Ordinance, seconded by Mr. Dawkins, and carried unanimously. 7. Consideration of a resolution regarding the redevelopment of the Haymount School Site. The recommended action was adoption of a resolution. The City Manager presented this matter and stated that the resolution would set the wheels in motion for the purchase and resale of the Haymount School Site for redevelopment. The steps in the process are as follows: 1. Negotiate a contract with Fayetteville Progress Inc. and North Carolina National Bank Community Development Corporation, for the redevelopment of the property in accordance with the redevelopment plan. 2. Exercise option with the Board of Education for the City to purchase the property upon receipt of an irrevocable bank letter of credit from FPI and NCNBCDC. 3. Hold a public hearing on the designation of FPI and NCNBCDC as redevelopers. 4. Assuming negotiation of a satisfactory agreement, transfer property to the designated redeveloper on October 1, 1983. Mrs. Evans then offered motion for approval of foregoing and adoption of the resolution, seconded by Mr. Jones and carried unanimously. RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, REGARDING THE HAYMOUNT SCHOOL SITE. RESOLUTION NO. R1983-38. A Copy of the foregoing resolution on file in the Clerk's Office in Resolution Book R1983. 8. Consideration of a variance for a ground sign for the Municipal Market. The recommended action was Revitalization Commission recommends approval. Assistant City Manager John Monaghan presented this matter and stated that early this year, we presented a list of improvements to be made at the former Eastern Turf property, in order to accommodate relocation of the Farmer's Market to the site. Most of the initial phase of improvements have been completed and the market has started operating at the site. One improvement of which as yet to be completed, is the erection of a permanent sign at the site. The sign designed by the architect, is by definition in City code a ground sign, which must be set back one foot for each foot of height. The proposed location of the sign would require a sixteen foot variance from the setback requirement from Russell Street. The setback from Maxwell Street is approximately 33 feet, which is more than adequate. Section 3-80 of the City Code, authorizes Council to grant a variance as to setback, if desired. The Revitalization Commission reviewed the situation with regard to this sign at their June 14th meeting and voted to recommended that Council grant the necessary variance, so that the sign can be erected. Discussion then followed concerning the sign and as to whether or not the City should grant itself a variance. Following this discussion, Mr. Wofford offered motion to return the plan to the architect for redesign to conform with the ordinance and to the needs of the Farmer's Market, seconded by Mr. McBryde and carried unanimously. 9. Consideration of the naming of the new Maiden Lane Bridge after Mr. Paul Dickson as a memorial to his early revitalization efforts. The recommended action was Revitalization Commission recommends approval. In a memo to the Council, Mr. John Monaghan stated the Revitalization Commission voted at its June 14th meeting, to recommend that the new bridge on Maiden Lane Extension be named in honor of Paul Dickson, III and that an appropriate plaque to that effect be placed on the bridge. Mr. Dickson was active in the civic and political life of the community until his death in an automobile accident in April of 1972. The Commission recommends that the bridge be named for Mr. Dickson in honor of his contribution to early downtown revitalization efforts through work in the downtown revitalization committee of the Chamber of Commerce. Following some discussion, Mrs. Evans stated that this matter should have the full input of the City Council and she offered motion to refer this matter to the full Council for consideration, motion seconded by Mr. Jones. Following some further discussion, Mr. McBryde offered substitute motion to refer this matter to the Policy Committee and that all Councilmembers be invited to attend, seconded by Rev. Johnson and carried unanimously. 10. Consideration of a memorandum of understanding with Fayetteville Progress, Inc. regarding the redevelopment of the Prince Charles Hotel Building. The recommended action was approval. The City Manager presented this matter and stated the memorandum of understanding sets forth in writing the agreement negotiated between Fayetteville Progress, Inc., Tooms Development Corporation, and City Administration with regard to the development of the Prince Charles Hotel. The City's participation involves $100,000 “Upfront" money through the jobs bill application for an Urban Development Action Grant application for a section 108 loan for the UDAG match, designation of the redeveloper and lease of the property to the redeveloper. The City's return will be in the form of: 1. Property taxes from the project 2. Lease payments, including a flat amount plus a percentage of net cash flow; and 3. Repayment to the City of the funds loaned under the UDAG grant, which may be used in future. If successful, this project would not only have a significant economic impact on downtown, but also put close to $10,000.000 on the tax books and rate 100 to 120 permanent jobs. In addition, it will provide income to the city through the lease. Following some discussion, Mrs. Evans offered motion that the City enter into the memorandum of understanding as recommended, seconded by Mr. Wofford and carried unanimously. 11. Consideration of design contract with Paul C.K. Lu and Associates for design of pedestrian linkages to Olde Fayetteville Commons. Recommended action was Capital Projects Manager Team recommends approval. The City Manager presented this item and recommended approval of the contract. He stated in the Spring of 1980, the Council adopted a critical mass package of top priority projects for downtown. This package included parking, circulation improvements, a portion of the Cross Creek Linier Park just west of Green Street and pedestrian linkages from the off street parking areas to the Ball. All of these projects have been completed or are in progress to some degree, except the pedestrian linkages. In the judgment of the Capital Projects Management Team, the pedestrian linkages should be designed by the same designer's the Mall, in order to create a sense of continuity between the Mall and the parking areas, which is the objective of the pedestrian linkages. The Capital projects Manager Team feels that the proposed fee of Mr. Lu is in line with these for similar work and recommends that the City Manager be authorized to execute the contract. Following some discussion, Mr. Wofford offered motion to approve the design on tract, seconded by Mr. Jones. Following some further discussion, Mr. McBryde offered substitute motion to put this matter off for two weeks for a recommendation from the City Engineer, motioned seconded by Rev. Johnson. Mayor Hurley then called for a vote on the substitute motion and it was as follows; For the motion, Councilmembers Johnson and McBryde. Against the motion, Councilmembers Hurley, Dawkins, Evans, Jones and Wofford. Mayor Hurley declared the substitute motion lost and called for a vote on the original motion of approval and the vote was as follows; For the motion, Councilmembers Hurley, Dawkins, Evans, Jones and Wofford. Against the motion, Councilmembers Johnson and McBryde. Mayor Hurley declared the original motion carried. 12. Consideration of notification to E & J Investment Corporation, T/A Rick's Lounge, 471 Hay Street, that its City privilege license will not be renewed pursuant to the provisions of N.C.G.S. § 105-113.82. The City Attorney presented this Item and stated that on May 11, 1983, the North Carolina Board of Alcoholic Control rendered its decision in the case of E & J Investment Corporation, T/A Rick's Lounge, located at 471 Hay Street, Fayetteville, concerning numerous violations that occurred on the premises between the dates of July 26, 1982 and October 3, 1982. In that case the permittee made an offer in compromise admitting to six violations. I am of the opinion that this is sufficient grounds for non-renewal of privilege license pursuant to the provisions of N.C.G.S. § 105-113.82. It is therefore requested that you consider issuing a notice to the permittee E & J Investment Corporation that their privilege license will not be renewed consistent with said statute. Following some discussion, Mr. Wofford offered motion that we give notice to E & J of consideration of non-renewal of their privilege license and set a public hearing to discuss the matter, seconded by Mr. McBryde and carried unanimously 13. Appointments: A. Election of nominees previously made to fill three vacancies on the Education Development Advisory Commission. Mrs. William (Maurine) Clark, Mrs. Mildred Westbrook, and Mrs. Mamie Baggett were appointed for three year terms each, said terms running to June 1986. B. Election of nominees previously made to fill three vacancies on the Airport Commission. Mr. B.F. (Buzz) Ward, Mr. J. Bernard Stein, and Mr. Robert Hasty were appointed for two year terms of office each to run to June 1985. AA. Delegations: Mr. Herman Bishop was recognized and requested deferment to be heard later in the meeting. 14. City Manager's Reports: Council recognized the City Manager, who stated that sometime ago, Councilman Wofford ask him to look into the feasibility of the City having a Public Safety Director to oversee operations of the Police and Fire Departments. In checking about this request, he stated I have considered two possible approaches. The first approach would be to hire a person to the City Manager's Office with responsibility for overseeing the Police Department, Fire Department, ID Bureau, and the Inspections Department with each department maintaining its current identity. The second possible approach would be a truly functional consolidation. That is a Public Safety Department in which many of the Support Services were actually consolidated. I would therefore recommend that a complete organizational study be made beginning in the Police Department thru either the North Carolina League of Municipalities or the Institute of Government. I further recommend that the study examine areas of potential functional consolidations but not be strictly limited to that. If it is agreeable with the Council, I will approach both the North Carolina League of Municipalities and the Institute of Government to discuss the possibility of conducting such an organization and management study and come back to Council with a firm recommendation. Mr. Wofford suggested that the Council follow the foregoing recommendation of the City Manager. Council was in agreement. The City Manager then stated that he had a very important announcement to make, and that was that he had appointed Assistant Fire Chief Wilbur Johnson to be Chief of the Fayetteville Fire Department. The City Manager stated that Chief Johnson had joined the Fire Department in 1952, had progressed through the ranks and made Training Officer in 1967 and Assistant Chief in 1973. The City Manager stated Chief Johnson had served well and honorably as a member of the Fire Department. He stated he had considered other applicants but that Chief Johnson was his choice. The City Councilmembers stated enthusiastically that they were pleased with the City Manager's appointment of Chief Johnson and commended both the City Manager and Chief Johnson. The City Manager next gave an extensive investigation report of allegations against D.K. Dixon, Chief of Police. A copy of this report is filed with the original of these minutes in the Clerk's Office. Following the City Manager's report, Rev. Johnson commended the City Manager the extensive and detailed investigation and report of this matter. In response to Rev. Johnson's comments, the City Manager stated that there had grown up in the Police Department an informal organization. He stated we must build in the Police Department faith in the organizational and grievance systems. He stated that misunderstandings did and still exist. He stated that there had been a breakdown in organization. He stated that people in the Department must get involved and that the Police Department must rejoin the City. He stated that the organization must be considered. He stated that mistrust existed and still exists. Be concluded by stating that he would do all in his power that vendettas not exist. Mr. Dawkins then stated that part of the Council knows what the City Manager has gone through in this investigation. He stated he felt the investigation was for the best and that it had cleared the allegations against the Chief. Mayor Hurley concurred in Mr. Dawkins remarks and stated the City Manager was worked very well on this matter to get it resolved. He stated also, that he felt the matter was now resolved. 15. Matters of Interest to Council: A. Policy Committee Reports: Mr. Wofford stated the Policy Committee is ready to present the wrecker policy. On another important matter, Mr. Wofford stated the Policy Committee commends that the Fire Training Area in Pope Park be named in memory of the late Fire Chief, Thurman Bishop and that an appropriate sign be placed on the site with a dedication ceremony held. Mayor Hurley then recognized Mr. Herman Bishop: Mr. Herman Bishop, twin brother of former Fire Chief Thurman Bishop commended the appointment of Mr. Wilbur Johnson as Chief of the Fire Department. Mr. Bishop stated that he had practically grown up with the Fayetteville Fire Department, serving as a volunteer Fireman for a number of years. He extended grateful thanks to City administration, the Mayor and City Council for their any kindnesses extended to his brother Thurman while he was living and to his family after his death. Mayor Hurley thanked Mr. Bishop for his remarks. Mrs. Evans than offered motion to name the Fire Training Area in Pope Park of memory of Fire Chief, Thurman Bishop and that an appropriate sign be placed on the site and a dedication ceremony held at the appropriate time. Motion seconded by Mr. McBryde and carried unanimously. Mr. McBryde then asked when the Transit Department is moving into the old Ford place on Grove Street. Assistant City Manager Stancil replied that some renovation is needed and that Engineering is designing it at the present time. Mayor Hurley then stated he would entertain a motion that Council enter into executive session. Mr. Dawkins then offered motion at 10:50 P.M. that Council enter into executive session to consider litigation and property matters only, seconded by Mr. Wofford and carried unanimously. Council then reconvened into regular session at 11:00 P.M. and Mayor Hurley adjourned the meeting upon motion made and duly seconded.

The recommended action was adoption of the ordinance. The City Attorney presented this item and stated that the new Wrecker Ordinance had been approved by the Policy Committee. Prior to being reviewed by the Policy Committee, there were several drafts and redrafts and those wreckers on the rotation list were afforded the opportunity at every stage to go over the proposed changes. Also, they were all invited to the Policy Committee meeting and they all have been invited to the Council meeting. There still remains one issue that has not been resolved by the Policy Committee, which is the Garage Liability Policy. This policy covers when a wrecker is towing a car. There is also the issue of the garage keepers Legal Liability Policy, which covers damage to a vehicle while it is in the care and control of the garage keeper. Mr. Wofford stated the wrecker operators had agreed to everything, except the Liability Policy Provisions. The City Attorney read a letter from Mr. Marland Reid, an attorney representing several of the wrecker operators, stating the position of his clients in regard to whether or not this type of insurance should be required. The City Attorney apologized to Council that he had not included a copy of Mr. Reid's letter in the agenda packet. It had been inadvertently overlooked. There was then a lengthy discussion of this matter. Following this discussion, it was the general consensus of the Council that this matter should be studied further and Mayor Hurley continued this matter to the next regular meeting. Rev. Johnson also suggested that the Policy Committee meet again with the Wrecker Operators for further input from them. The City Attorney stated that meanwhile, he would see that Councilmembers are provided with a copy of Mr. Reid's letter. 4. Discussion of non-renewal of ABC Privilege Licenses. The City Attorney presented this item and stated he had provided Council with a copy of a letter sent to him by the District Supervisor for the ABC Office, with a list of those permittees in the City of Fayetteville that have had actions taken during the previous fiscal year. He called attention that all of the these violations with the exception of one involved liquor violations. He stated he had also included a listing provided by the Finance Department of all of those individuals, firms or corporations that purchase beer or wine privilege licenses in the City of Fayetteville. Following brief discussion, Mr. McBryde suggested that public hearings be held on all cases at one time. Lengthy discussion followed. Mr. Wofford stated that in his opinion, the two most serious offenses were those of selling alcohol to minors and sex acts and moral issues. There was still some further discussion. Following this discussion, Mr. Wofford offered motion that in those instances where a conviction or a firm finding has been made, that an ABC permit holder has violated an issue of morals and minors that we consider revocation of their license at a public hearing. The motion received no second and Mayor Hurley declared it lost. Following some further discussion, Mr. McBryde offered motion that Council have a hearing on the one set earlier (consent item 1K E & J Investments) and also on Items 1 through 7 in the letter received by Mr. Cogswell and any other presented by the City Attorney, motion seconded by Mr. Wofford and carried, Mrs. Evans voting no.

Consideration of revocation of Ordinance NS1981-8-Parking spaces in front of Greyhound Bus Terminal. The City Manager presented this item and stated, it had been requested by Mr. McBryde at the last meeting. He stated it actually involved two hour parking spaces across from the bus terminal. He stated there were other types of parking spaces involved in this area too. He suggested that Council allow him additional time to look at the parking from Bow Street outwardly to this area and come back with a recommendation. Mr. McBryde stated the reason he had brought this matter up, was because he had observed meter maids walking past other types of parking spaces to the ones in front of the bus terminal and it was taking a considerable amount of their time to complete this task. Council deferred action on this matter as requested by the City Manager for study by him and by the City Engineer. The City Manager stated they would return with a recommendation. 6. Appointments: A. Nominations for two vacancies on the Board of Adjustment. Mrs. Evans nominated incumbent F. Royal Loyd, Jr. Mr. Dawkins nominated incumbent Charles Smith.

During this time, Assistant City Manager Stancil would be in charge. Council then recognized City Attorney Cogswell who distributed copies of former Senate Bill 107 now Chapter 636 which is the state's new annexation law.

Following this discussion, Mayor Hurley thanked the City Attorney for the information. 9. Matters of Interest to the City Council: Mr. Wofford informed Councilmembers that he had observed two very encouraging actions today. One was the vacation of the Old Towne Theatre on Hay Street which the City had recently obtained possession of. The other was the demolition of the Old County Court House Annex buildings on Franklin Street, also now owned by the City. Mr. Wofford requested the City Manager to have Downtown Turnaround signs placed at these and any other locations similar to these to let the public know what is happening. He also requested removal of the portable sign at the Municipal Market. Mr. Jones extended thanks to Assistant City Manager Roger Stancil for the new top on the State Flag Staff in the Council Chamber. Mr. Dawkins informed Councilmembers that they had a good Transportation Advisory Committee Meeting last week and that they had received several good comments and suggestions from other Municipalities in the County.

Mayor Hurley extended thanks to the Olde Fayetteville Association for the Fourth of July celebration yesterday and stated it was one of the best ever. Mayor Hurley informed Council that he was going on a mission tomorrow for the City with the United States Air Force to visit various Air Force bases in Italy, Germany, and England for the next eight days.

Council reconvened into regular session at 9:20 P.M.

There was then some further discussion, and following this Mayor Hurley called for a vote on the motion to not approve the rezoning and it carried unanimously. B. Consideration of Program of Projects under Section 9A of the Surface Transportation Act. Recommended Action was adoption. Assistant City Manager Stancil presented this item and stated that the recent increase in the federal gasoline tax had produced funds available for planning and capital purposes in public transportation. Section 9A of the Surface Transportation Act allocates these funds. The City of Fayetteville urbanized area has been allocated $466,000 to be spent over the next three years. These funds provide 80% funding of approved projects with 10% provided by NCDOT. The attached information projects programming $260,420 in fiscal year 83-84. Of this total, $100,420 will be for Cumberland County activities matched with Cumberland County funds and passed through the City of Fayetteville on a contractual basis. The City is the designated recipient of urbanized area funds. The remaining $150,000 is programmed for strengthening the pavement in the parking lot on the transit maintenance side of the Grove Street facility. Although this parking lot is sufficient for automobiles, it is inadequate for the constant flow of heavy equipment that will occur when the bus fleet is maintained there. The pavement strengthening project is included in the capital improvements program for 1983-84 and the transportation improvement program for 1983-84. The 10% local match is included in the 1983-84 revenue sharing budget. He recommended adoption of this program of projects, authorization for the City Manager to execute an agreement with the County, and for adoption of the resolution. No one was present for or against the proposal. Following brief discussion, Mr. McBryde offered motion, seconded by Mrs. Evans to authorize filing of the application, authorization for the City Manager to execute the agreement with the County and the adoption of the resolution.

A copy of the foregoing ordinance is on file in the Clerk's Office in Annexation Ordinance Book 1983. D. Consideration of a resolution confirming the assessment roll for the paving of Powell Street from Trade Street to Cude Street. The recommended action was adoption of the resolution. The City Engineer presented this item and stated the assessment rate was at $4 per front foot. He also stated that all property owners had been notified of this public hearing. Council recognized Mrs. Myrtle Cashwell of Powell Street who was opposed to the assessment for this paving. Mrs. Cashwell stated that other streets in this area had been paved without assessment to the property owners and she wished to know why they were being assessed. In reply to Mrs. Cashwell's question the City Engineer stated that other streets paved in the area had been done through Community Development funds. Mr. Dawkins informed Mrs. Cashwell that the assessment is only $4 per front foot which is approximately 10% of the actual cost of paving to the City. Mr. Norman Hawley another Powell Street resident was recognized and stated he was not opposed to the assessment but on the assessed value of his property, Lots 6, 7, and 8. He stated that the assessment cost was more than the Lots were worth. There then followed a lengthy discussion of this matter by the Council. The discussion centered around the assessment of other Lots on this same street and of the possible necessity for reappraisal. Mrs. Evans then offered motion to continue this matter to the next regular meeting on August 1, 1983 for proper information, seconded by Mr. Jones and carried unanimously. 3. PUBLIC WORKS COMMISSION MATTERS: A. Consideration of bids received June 28, 1983 for the purchase of 98 electric distribution transformers. Recommended Action: PWC recommends the low bid. PWC Manager Ray Muench presented this item and stated that the low bids were submitted by Mill Power-Supply for 50 KVA Transformers, for $1,159 and 100 KVA Transformers for $1,538.90 and by Wesco Inc. for 167 KVA Transformers in the amount of $1,886. He stated that Wesco had withdrawn its bid due to a mathematical error. He stated that matter will go back before the Commission. He requested approval of the Mill Power Supply bids only. Mr. Wofford moved for approval of the first two bids by Mill Power Supply as recommended, seconded by Mr. McBryde and carried unanimously. B. Consideration of proposals received for insurance coverage for various Public Works Commission properties and liabilities. The recommended action, PWC recommends the low proposals by Wade S. Dunbar Insurance Agency/West Insurance Associates. Mr. Muench stated the low proposal submitted by Dunbar/West were recommended. The total of all low insurance costs was $60,654 reflecting a savings of more than $25,000 over the same coverages during the previous year with no reduction in insurance coverage. Mr. Muench stated the types of insurance were as follows: Property insurance, $8,903; Business Vehicle Liability Insurance, $10,291; Boiler and Machinery Explosion-Generators, $32,000; Boiler and Machinery Fire Generators, $9,461. Following brief discussion Mr. Dawkins offered motion to award the foregoing bids as recommended by PWC, seconded by Mr. Jones and carried unanimously. Council recognized Mr. James Warner, PWC Chairman who informed the Council that the City had set a record for water use last week. In response to question from Council concerning electric use, Mr. Muench stated the electric use peak had not been reached since January, 1981. However, use has been extremely high in the City due to the warm weather. This completed the PWC matters and Mr. Muench and Mr. Warner were excused. 4. Consideration of adoption of an ordinance amending Chapter 20 “Motor vehicles and Traffic" (Wrecker Ordinance). (Continued from the regular meeting of July 5, 1983). The City Attorney presented this matter and stated that at Council's request we have polled the wrecker operators and some insurance companies in regard to the premium cost for the legal liability provision. The response of the operators had been provided in a memo to Council. Mr. Cogswell stated he had also discussed the matter with an Insurance Company that writes this coverage on a nationwide basis. He was advised that a $100,000 garage keeper's legal liability policy that would cover fire, theft and vandalism in the state would have a premium of $244 a year. Claims are paid on the policy based upon the negligence of the insured which had been previously pointed out. The representative of the company indicated that this premium would apply to almost anyone and that past experience would have little to do with the premium. The agent did say that the security of the storage lot could have a bearing. The City Attorney provided a copy of a proposed hold harmless provision for the ordinance if that was Council's preference. The City Attorney recommended keeping the provision in the ordinance and suggested that if Council adopted the ordinance the effective date be September 16th in order to give the operators and administration time for preparation. There was then considerable discussion of this matter. Following this discussion Mr. Wofford offered motion that we adopt the wrecker ordinance as presented with the following understandings: That the legal liability insurance be left in; that the hold harmless agreement be added to; that windstorm be stricken from; and that the effective date be September 16, 1983. Motion seconded by Rev. Johnson and carried unanimously. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 20 MOTOR VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC OF THE FAYETTEVILLE CITY CODE OF ORDINANCES - WRECKER ORDINANCE. ORDINANCE NUMBER S1983-9. A copy of the foregoing ordinance is on file in the Clerk's Office in Ordinance Book S1983. 5. Discussion of non-renewal of ABC Privilege Licenses. The City Attorney informed Council that he did not have sufficient information at this time and requested deferral to the next meeting. Rev. Johnson then moved to continue discussion of this matter for more information. Motion seconded by Mr. Jones and carried, Mrs. Evans voting no. 6. Consideration of an ordinance to amend Chapter 3, 9, 11, 15, and 23 of the Fayetteville City Code (Inspections Fees). The recommend action was adoption. Assistant City Manager Stancil presented this item and stated that in the past fees charged by the Inspections Department for various inspections have been listed in the ordinance. This practice requires us to amend the ordinance every time new fees are set by Council. Changing the Code every time new fees are set is an administrative burden and costly to the City. It can also be confusing when new fees are adopted but the Code is not changed immediately. Information taken from the Code Book becomes erroneous. To correct these problems, we recommend the attached ordinance amendment: Fee schedules will continue to be set by City Council but included in the ordinance by reference. Up-to-date fee schedules will be kept on file in the City Clerk's Office. This is the procedure we follow with other fees such as those in Parks and Recreation. Following some discussion, Mrs. Evans offered motion for approval of the foregoing by the adoption of the ordinance. Seconded by Mr. Dawkins and carried unanimously. Mr. Jones asked a question on the amount of the bond requirement and the Assistant City Manager was requested to check and come back with this information at the next meeting. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTERS 3, 9, 11, 15 AND 23 OF THE FAYETTEVILLE CITY CODE - INSPECTIONS FEES. ORDINANCE NUMBER S1983-10. A copy of the foregoing ordinance is on file in the Clerk's Office in Ordinance Book S1983. 7. Consideration of Budget Ordinance Amendment CHANGE 84-1 and amendment to Internal Service Fund CHANGE 84-1. The recommended action was adoption. Assistant City Manager Stancil presented this matter and stated that since we acquired the new fleet maintenance facility on Grove Street we have been gradually consolidating all fleet maintenance activities in one location. The attached amendment will transfer a mechanic from the Fire Department to the Fleet Maintenance Department to continue this effort. This consolidation will allow us to more efficiently schedule the time of all of our mechanics and encourage greater productivity in use of equipment and supplies. This move is recommended by both the new Fire Chief and the Director of Fleet Maintenance. Mr. McBryde offered motion for adoption of the budget amendment as recommended, seconded by Mr. Jones and carried unanimously. 8. CITY MANAGER'S REPORTS: Assistant City Manager Stancil mentioned a memo he had given to Council on the start of the 500 Block demolition. This is scheduled for 12:00 noon, July 28, 1983. Mayor Hurley stated that members of the Revitalization Commission and others would be present at this activity. He encouraged all Council members to be present also. 9. DELEGATIONS: No delegations responded to the invitation by Mayor Hurley for recognition. 10. MATTERS OF INTEREST TO COUNCIL: Mr. Wofford stated that there are storm sewer grates that run parallel to the curb in some parts of the City, and that some injuries are being sustained by bikers dropping into these grates. The City Engineer stated that these grates are maintained by DOT and that to his knowledge they have no program to change immediately, but they are aware of the problem. Mr. Wofford stated that the City should try to retain some remnants and artifacts in the 500 Block of Hay Street for posterity and the City Attorney provided some information concerning this. Mr. Wofford asked if there was any plan to photograph the demolition procedure. He suggested that this be done. Mr. Wofford set a meeting of the Policy Committee for 5:30 p.m., Wednesday, July 27, 1983 in the Kyle House. Mr. McBryde stated that he had made a formal pole of the Council to gag Mr. Dawkins and Rev. Johnson at all future meetings. Mr. Dawkins stated that he had met with the City Engineer on drainage matters on Franklin and Russell Streets in connection with the Transit Mall and the City Engineer stated that progress is being made in this matter. Rev. Johnson asked if Taft Street is still in the process of paving and the City Engineer replied in the affirmative, but that it had been temporarily delayed. Mr. Jones stated he had been approached by merchants and friends with questions on what is being sold in the Pro Shop in Glenville Park. Assistant City Manager Stancil stated that the idea is not for a Pro Shop, but to control the tennis courts. Mr. Jones suggested the building be used as a Park Ranger Station. Mr. Jones also stated he had received calls on the Middle Road paving and stated that he saw no need for this matter to go to the Committee. Following brief discussion, Mr. Jones offered motion that we repave Dunn Road and put back two lanes as it was. Motion seconded by Mrs. Evans. The City Engineer stated that this project is now being held up due to sanitary sewer line failure. Rev. Johnson stated the Streets and Roads Committee is considering this matter and will come back before Council with a recommendation. Mrs. Evans then withdrew her second to the motion and Mr. Jones stated he would let his motion be lost for lack of the second. Mr. Jones stated the toll booth behind the Capital Department Store is very hot. He stated that very little use is being made of this lot. He requested the Policy Committee to work on this matter. Mr. McBryde suggested that Council let administration look at this lot as well as the one across from the TV 40 Building on Donaldson Street and make recommendations. Mayor Hurley informed Council that he received a very interesting letter from Fayetteville Cablevision. All Council members stated they had received one too. Mayor Hurley then adjourned this regular session at 8:40 p.m., upon motion made and duly seconded. REGULAR MEETING MONDAY, AUGUST 1, 1983 REGULAR MEETING MONDAY, AUGUST 1, 1983 7:00 P.M.

Fire Chief Wilbur Johnson was not present to receive his thirty-year pin. Mayor Hurley stated the City Attorney had requested an Executive Session at the end of this meeting to consider a litigation matter only. Inasmuch as one of she consent items was the setting of a Public Hearing for September 6, 1983, Mr. McBryde offered motion, seconded by Mr. Wofford and carried unanimously that the Council change its regular meeting date from Monday, September 5, to Tuesday, September 6, due to the Labor Day Holiday.

There were no persons present for or against this annexation. Council recognized Mr. Clinton Harris, a local citizen with comments on the annexation procedures.

They are aware that we are contemplating these Public Hearings and have indicated they will respond as soon as possible. There is also another action that you can consider. This would apply only to those cases involving indecent conduct. Section 17-21.1(2) of the Fayetteville City Code authorizes you to take essentially the same type of action that the state statute authorizes in terms of non-renewal of a privilege license. However, action taken under your City ordinance would authorize the non-renewal of a privilege license other than one for the sale of beer and wine e.g. pool tables, sundries and topless dancing. The City Attorney stated further that he did receive an oral response from the Attorney General's office. There was then a very lengthy discussion by the Council on this matter. Mayor Hurley then declared a five minute recess. Council then reconvened and there was further discussion of this matter. Following this discussion, Mr. Wofford offered motion that we hold a Public Hearing, time to be set by Mayor if the motion passes that we bring before the council at Public Hearing those establishments who have potentially violated city ordinance for any of the City privilege licenses. (By that I mean anyone who has a potential violation of the topless dancing permit guidelines or any other permit guidelines issued by the City and not those issued by the State and then follow it up with a City permit.) Motion seconded by Mr. Dawkins. There was further discussion, and the City Attorney mentioned Club 21 and Rick's Lounge of the foregoing list provided. Mayor Hurley then called for vote on Mr. Wofford's motion and it carried, Mr. McBryde voting no. Following some further discussion, Mr. Wofford offered motion that the City Attorney send letters to each of the other nine firms listed and inform them that the City has the right to call a Public Hearing and bake away bear licenses if violations continue. The motion was lost for lack of a second. There then followed some further discussion of this matter, with Attorney Sneed High being recognized with comments. Mayor Hurley then closed the discussion by stating that the Council will set Public Hearings at the next meeting on August 15th. 6. Consideration of approval of Supplemental Agreement No. 5 with Wilbur Smith and Associates to provide plans and specifications for additional Airport improvements. Council recognized Airport Manager Earl Dennis, who presented this matter and recommended approval. He stated the FAA had allocated $662,260 for Airport improvements subject to FAA approval. Mrs. Evans then offered motion to follow the recommendation of the Airport Commission and approve Supplemental Agreement No. 5 as recommended, seconded by Rev. Johnson and carried unanimously. 7. Consideration of revisions to Traffic Schedule #2 - Turn Control, Traffic Schedule #10 - Loading Zones, and Traffic Schedule #13 - Parking Zones. The City Engineer presented this matter and stated that Coleman's Sporting Company has made a request that a loading/unloading zone be established on the Southwest corner of Anderson-Old Streets. This loading zone would require a revision to Traffic Schedule #13 - Parking Zones and Traffic Schedule #10 - Loading Zones. With the recent implementation of the north/south one-way pairs in the downtown area, we believe left terms from Hay Street should be allowed at Anderson and Maxwell Streets. Previously, left turns were prohibited at these intersections at the interest of minimizing traffic congestion. Revision to Traffic Schedule #2, turn control world accomplish this. He recommended adoption of the three traffic ordinances. There was then a discussion of these matters and especially of the establishment of the loading zones. Following this discussion, Mr. McBryde offered motion to approve the turn control ordinance but not the loading/unloading zone ordinances, seconded by Mrs. Evans and carried unanimously. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA, SECTION 20-106 OF THE CITY CODE, TRAFFIC SCHEDULE 2 TURN CONTROL DAY STREET INTERSECTION WITH ANDERSON STREET AND MAXWELL STREET. ORDINANCE NO. NS1983-29. A copy of the foregoing ordinance is on file in the Clerk's Office in Ordinance Book NS1983. 8. Consideration of Middle Road improvements - Report from Streets, Roads and Transportation Committee. Rev. Johnson, Chairman of the Committee stated the committee had decided to bring this matter back for consideration of two proposals. The City Engineer bad provided estimates for the two types of construction costs being considered for repaving the 1,250 feet of Middle Road, which had recently been removed for sanitary sewer reconstruction. Option No. 1 - For repaving the two lanes to be the same width as the north end - $24,000. Option No. 2 - For repaving four lanes with the drainage and curbs and gutters - $135,000. City Engineer Bennett was then called upon for additional information, which he provided. Following some discussion, Rev. Johnson offered motion that Middle Road be reconstructed as a two lane with curb, gutter, and drainage, motion seconded by Mrs. Evans. There was then some further discussion, during which time Mrs. McLaurin, a resident of the area and another resident were recognized with comments. Rev. Johnson then withdrew his motion. Rev. Johnson then offered motion that we follow option no. 1 as stated, seconded by Mr. Jones and carried unanimously. Mayor Hurley then recognized County Commissioner Mary McAllister in the audience. 9. Consideration of an ordinance to establish a depository for City buildings or other improvement plans. The recommended action was adoption. The City Manager presented this matter and stated the City has experienced considerable inconvenience and difficulty in maintaining City owned buildings, because of the lack of having drawings of the original project. Difficulty is also experienced in planning modifications of buildings when original construction plans are not available. When any project has drawings or specifications prepared by consultant Architects or Engineers, the City staff is very seldom able to locate the plans a few years after the project has been completed. For example, there are no original construction plans available for City Hall, some of the Fire Stations, and some of the Recreation Buildings. For the efficient maintenance of buildings, including plumbing, electrical heating and air conditioning facilities, and for planning future modification, it is essential that the City establish a policy to assure “as-built" construction plans and specifications are available. We recommend that all contracts for Architectural or Engineering type services include the requirement that a complete set of “as-built" reproducible high quality sepias and a complete set of construction contracts and specifications, including all change orders and agendums be deposited with the City of Fayetteville Engineering Department, a proposed ordinance to accomplish this is recommended. Following brief discussion, Mrs. Evans offered motion to follow the foregoing recommendation and adopt the ordinance, seconded by Rev. Johnson and carried unanimously. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA, SECTION 9-15 OF THE CITY CODE, DEPOSITORY FOR OR PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS OF CITY OWN BUILDINGS AND OTHER IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS. ORDINANCE NO. S1983-11. A copy of the foregoing ordinance is on file in the Clerk's Office in Ordinance Book S1983. 10. Consideration of Street Resurfacing Projects for FY 1983-84. The recommended action was approval. The City Engineer presented this matter and provided the list of streets below recommended for resurfacing: Spruce Street from Stamper Road to Cherokee Drive, Chesterfield Drive from commerce Street to Ashley Street, Ann Street from Grove Street to Bow Street, Union Street from Mason Street to Rowan Street, Cumberland Street from Ramsey greet to Murchison Road, Cross Creek Street from Campbell Avenue to Russell Street, Langdon Street from Bridge to Murchison Road, Barksdale Drive from Chadwick Drive to end, Kensington Circle from Ramsey Street to Ramsey Street, Village Drive from Fargo Drive to Ireland Drive, Enterprise Avenue from Texfi Plant to Eldorado Road, and Boone Trail from Owen Drive to Village Drive. He stated these streets were selected from a much larger list of streets that certainly need resurfacing, but we believe that these 12 streets will provide the best benefit. The estimated cost is $200,000, which is the budgeted amount for resurfacing. Upon approval of the list, an invitation will be sent out for bids in the immediate future. Mr. Jones suggested, including in the foregoing list, Arsenal Avenue from Highland Avenue to Raeford Road, due to the deplorable conditions and the high traffic. The City Engineer stated that this can be added now, if desired. Mr. Jones then offered motion to approve all of the foregoing streets for resurfacing, plus Arsenal Avenue from Highland Avenue to Raeford Road, seconded by Mrs. Evans and carried unanimously. 11. Consideration of adoption of Budget Ordinance Amendment CHANGE 84-2. The recommended action was adoption. The City Manager presented this matter, and stated that these were carryover funds in the Parks and Recreation Department and recommended approval. Following brief discussion, Mrs. Evans offered motion, seconded by Mr. Dawkins and carried unanimously for approval. 12. Consideration of contract form for special services from outside agencies, the recommended action was approval. The City Attorney presented this matter and stated the contract is to be used for outside agencies receiving funds from the City. This contract has been reviewed by Mr. Stancil and Mr. Epps. It is further suggested, that you authorize the City Manager to sign these contracts since they are one year in duration and subject to annual review through the budget process. The format is basically that which has been followed by the Finance Department for quite sometime pursuant the Council policy. It eliminates one requirement that has been in the policy, that is, a member of the Council shall serve on the Governing Board of the agency. Based upon previous discussions of this matter at Council meetings, it is recommended that you consider deleting this requirement from your policy. Following brief discussion, Mr. Dawkins offered motion to approve the contract form, seconded by Mrs. Evans. There was then some further discussion, and following this Mayor Hurley called for a vote on the motion, and it carried unanimously. 13. City Manager's Reports: Discussion of contract for replacement of Kyle House roof. The City Manager stated in the 1983-84 budget, Council approved $10,000 for replacement of the Kyle House roof. This money is allocated under improvements in the Administrative Services Department. Our intention was to replace the existing slate roof with asphalt shingles, because our estimates for a new slate roof were so high. An asphalt shingle roof would cost approximately $6,800.00. Since approval of the budget, we have consulted with the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources and their Preservation Specialist. We have also sought additional proposals on installing a new slate roof. We have a proposal from Kyle Roofing Company to install a new slate roof for $16,820. Because this proposal is considerably lower than previous indications for a new slate roof and because the life of the slate roof is three to four times the life of an asphalt shingle roof, we recommend acceptance of the Kyle proposal. This will require additional funds from some other source, of approximately $7,000. The City Manager stated the present roof is also leaking. Following some brief discussion, Mr. Wofford offered motion for approval of the slate roof, seconded by Mr. McBryde and carried unanimously. Council recognized City Attorney Cogswell, who stated he would like to return momentarily to item 8 concerning Middle Road. He stated that Council adopted a final resolution on paving last May on this matter. He recommended in view of Council's action tonight, that this Resolution R1983-34 be rescinded. Mrs. Evans then offered motion, seconded by Mr. McBryde to rescind Resolution No. R1983-34 pertaining to Middle Road, motion carried unanimously. 14. Delegations: No delegations were present. 15. Matters of Interest to Council: A. Policy Committee Report. Mr. Wofford, Chairman of the Policy Committee offered the following report. He stated the Policy Committee met on July 27, 1983, at 5:30 P.M. to discuss the naming of the Maiden Lane bridge. The Committee voted unanimously to recommend to the Council that the bridge be named in honor of the memory of former City Councilmember Eugene Plummer, and that an appropriate plague be installed in the bridge honoring Mr. Plummer's memory, and his service to the City. The Committee also voted to ask the staff to prepare a draft policy on the memorials to bring back to the committee at a future meeting for consideration. Mr. Dawkins then offered motion to follow the foregoing recommendation of the Policy Committee and name the Maiden Lane bridge for former Councilmember Lennox G. Plummer, and that a plague be installed and an appropriate ceremony held and that the family of Mr. Plummer be invited to be present as honored guests, motion seconded by Mrs. Evans. Mr. Dawkins then offered comments concerning Mr. Plummer's previous service to the community as a City Councilman for almost a quarter of a century. He stated he will long be remembered, and especially for his favorite remark that “everyone should be fed from the same spoon". Mayor Hurley then called for a vote on the motion and it carried unanimously. Mr. Wofford then requested input from the Councilmembers concerning the policy on memorials. Mr. Wofford then offered motion that the Council make formal request to the Cumberland County Commissioners to hold a referendum with the November general election on the Blue Law, motion seconded by Mrs. Evans and Rev. Johnson suggested that it be included in the request, that the Commissioners be reminded that the Council and Commissioners had agreed to this date previously. Mayor Hurley then called for vote on the motion and it carried Mr. Jones voting no. Mr. Jones then expressed appreciation to City Engineer Bennett on the Middle Road work. Mr. Jones then asked City Engineer Bennett if the sidewalk on Grove Street at Eastern Boulevard at the new Hardee's location was required. The City Engineer replied that this was joint participation according to City policy. Mayor Hurley then informed the Council that he and Mr. Dawkins had heard an excellent presentation on Cool Spring by a State Archaeologist. Mayor Hurley suggested inviting this Archaeologist back to Council's information meeting on June 22 to make the presentation to the Council. Mayor Hurley then stated he would entertain a motion to convene into executive session and Mr. McBryde so moved, seconded by Mr. Jones to enter into executive session at 10:00 P.M. to discuss a litigation matter only, motion carried unanimously. Council then reconvened into regular session at 10:15 P.M. and Mayor Hurley adjourned this regular session upon motion made and duly seconded.

He stated the property had been appraised at $120,000 by Mr. Robert E. McNeill in January 1982. He stated this matter had been advertised as required. Council recognized Mr. M.J. Weeks for the 700 Haymount Association who requested approval of the sale. Council also recognized Mr. Bobby McCoy, a resident of Hillside Avenue who was enthusiastically in favor of the project. Council also recognized Mrs. Joan Allen for the Board of Directors of the Olde Fayetteville Association also in favor of the sale. There was no opposition present. The City Manager informed Council that he and Mr. Weeks had arrived at an agreement for a sidewalk easement on Athens Avenue adjacent to the project. Following some discussion, Mr. Dawkins offered motion to approve the sale of the property subject to the sidewalk easement and that the proposed use or redevelopment is reasonably necessary in order to assure development which will have the desired beneficial effect upon neighboring property, the project area and the community as a whole as contemplated by the redevelopment plan and that the proposed use for redevelopment will assure that the property will not remain unused for an unduly long period and will result in a return to the local ad-valorem roles at a substantially earlier date than uses or redevelopment obtainable by other means of disposition. Motion seconded by Mrs. Evans and carried unanimously. Mayor Hurley then stated this was an historic moment in the history of the City.

Following brief discussion, Mr. McBryde offered motion to accept the low bid, seconded by Rev. Johnson and carried unanimously. 5. Consideration of amendments to Chapter 22, “Personnel" of the Fayetteville City Code. The City Attorney presented this matter and stated the ordinance is for the purposes of solving some procedural problems that have been encountered in dealing with the new appeals process in the Personnel Ordinance. Change No. 1 comes about as a result of a time constraint placed upon the City Manager in rendering a decision on an appeal heard by him. Change No. 2 comes about as a result of a possible ambiguity. Change No. 3 will solve a logistics problem more than anything else. The City Attorney also recommended amending the wording to 5 “working" days to the ordinance. Following some discussion, Rev.

Consideration of creating a new section 17-21.3 of the City Code concerning hearings to determine revocation or suspension or privilege licenses. The recommended action was adoption. The City Attorney presented this item and stated that in reviewing the ordinance giving Council the authority to revoke a privilege license he felt that it would be helpful to have set out in the ordinance the procedure to be followed at the hearing. Basically due process in such a hearing includes (a) notice and specification of the charges; (b) an opportunity to be heard; (c) an opportunity to confront accusers; and (d) an impartial tribunal. Although these rights would certainly be afforded at the hearing, the proposed amendment would set forth these items listed above that are not already stated in the ordinance. There was then considerable discussion of the provisions of this ordinance with Mr. McBryde raising questions on Council's policy making and hearing such matters. Following much discussion, Mr. Jones offered motion for adoption of the ordinance as recommended by the City Attorney, seconded by Mr. Wofford and carried unanimously. AN ORDINANCE CREATING A NEW SECTION 17-21.3 OF THE FAYETTEVILLE CITY CODE CHAPTER 17 “LICENSES". ORDINANCE NUMBER S1983-14. A copy of the foregoing ordinance is on file in the Clerk's Office in Ordinance Book S1983. 7. Consideration of setting public hearings to determine revocation or suspension of privilege licenses: a. Club 21 - 513 Hay Street; and b. Rick's Lounge - 471 Hay Street The City Attorney presented this matter and stated that pursuant to Section 17-21.2 of the City Code I am of the opinion that the attached documents are of sufficient basis for Council to set public hearings for Club 21 - 513 Hay Street, and Rick's Lounge - 471 Hay Street. There was then a very lengthy discussion on this matter with questions being raised by the City Council of the City Attorney and of his interpretation of the laws and ordinances governing these matters. Following this discussion, Mr. Wofford offered motion to set public hearings for Club 21 - 513 Hay Street and Rick's Lounge - 471 Hay Street for Monday, September 12, 1983 at 7:00 p.m., in the Council Chamber. Motion seconded by Mr. Jones and carried, Mr. McBryde voting no. 8. APPOINTMENTS: A. Nominations to fill one vacancy on the Fayetteville Metropolitan Housing Authority. Mayor Hurley stated that this was a mayoral appointment and appeared on the agenda by error. B. Nominations to fill two vacancies on the Senior Citizens Advisory Commission. Mr. Jones nominated the incumbents Mrs. Sylvia Allen and Mrs. Fannie Thomason and Mayor Hurley stated the election of these nominees would be considered at the next meeting. 9. CITY MANAGER'S REPORTS: A. Discussion of proposed Loading Zone on Anderson Street. The City Manager stated that this matter had been discussed at a prior meeting and called on the City Engineer for a report. The City Engineer stated that at the prior meeting a loading zone had been requested by Coleman Sporting Goods at the corner of Anderson and Old Streets. Mr. McBryde stated that he had discussed this matter with the store owner and other businessmen today on the placement of such a loading zone. He stated the firm was in agreement with a loading zone at the corner of Anderson on Old Street and that the loading zone behind the Capitol Department Store be removed. There was then some discussion of this matter and of the parking on Anderson Street between Hay Street and Old Street and the City Engineer requested and there was no objection raised to changing the angle of parking on Anderson Street to relieve congestion. Following this discussion, Mr. McBryde offered motion to establish a new loading zone on the south side of Old Street, corner of Anderson Street and eliminate the existing loading zone on the south side of Old Street near the Capitol Department Store. Motion seconded by Mr. Jones and carried unanimously. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA, SECTION 20-106 OF THE CITY CODE TRAFFIC SCHEDULE NUMBER 10 - LOADING AND UNLOADING ZONES - OLD STREET. ORDINANCE NUMBER NS1983-33. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA, SECTION 20-106 OF THE CITY CODE TRAFFIC SCHEDULE NUMBER 13 - PARKING ZONES - OLD STREET. ORDINANCE NUMBER NS1983-34. Copies of the foregoing ordinances are on file in the Clerk's Office in Ordinance Book NS1983. The City Attorney then presented a tax foreclosure matter and stated that from time to time in the process of collecting delinquent taxes and assessments the property owner will offer to deed the property to the City because the amount of back taxes and/or assessments is worth more than the value of the property. This would save my office considerable time and expense but on the other hand it would add to the growing list of surplus property that is taken off the tax roll. I have refrained from accepting these offers in the past because of the increase it would make in our surplus property holding. However, because of the savings to my office and alternatively the City (when I know that the City will require the property anyway through foreclosures) it is requested that the Council consider introducing a policy regarding these situations. I would like to suggest that this be referred to the Policy Committee for discussion. Following some discussion, Mrs. Evans offered motion that the City Attorney be allowed to accept deeds for property when offered to the City in lieu of delinquent taxes, seconded by Mr. Jones. Following some further discussion, Rev. Johnson offered substitute motion that the Council require a written resolution concerning this matter for consideration at the next meeting, seconded by Mr. Wofford and carried, Mr. Jones voting no. 10. DELEGATIONS: A. Request from Mrs. Sallie Council for improvements on Stanberry Court. The City Manager stated that Mrs. Council was not present and information would be presented concerning this at the next meeting. Council then recognized Mr. Clinton Harris, a local citizen who offered comments on Council's action on the privilege license matter this evening. He stated in his opinion that there was the need for a board or commission to act on these matters. Mayor Hurley thanked Mr. Harris for his remarks. 11. MATTERS OF INTEREST TO COUNCIL: Mr. Wofford stated concerning the referendum on the blue law he hoped the Cumberland County Commissioners would consider the request by City Council's letter to change the date of this referendum. Meanwhile he suggested that the City Manager instruct the Police Department to strictly enforce the blue law so that the citizens will know what the law means. The City Manager replied that he would discuss this with the Chief of Police but reminded Council that these incidents were received by individual complaints. Mr. Dawkins raised the question of traffic lights along Hay Street, in particularly at Maxwell and Hay Street where the light along some sections of the street appear over head and then on the side at the corners. He stated he had observed motorists making turns against one way streets and running red lights because of this. The City Engineer replied that this problem will be changed with the beginning of construction of the Hay Street Mall. Mr. Dawkins expressed appreciation to the City Engineer for the repairs along Franklin Street at the railroad. Rev. Johnson raised questions on the attendant parking lots and the City Manager replied that this is being studied and that a recommendation will be forth coming at the next meeting. Mayor Hurley informed Council that he had received a call from Mrs. Virginia Thompson, Chairman of the Cumberland County Commissioners and that she had poled the Commissioners and their response to changing the referendum date on the blue law was not favorable. They are still keeping to the October 11, 1983 referendum she stated but this may change at tonight's meeting of the Commissioners. Mayor Hurley informed City Engineer that the railroad crossing at Russell Street needed attention and the City Engineer replied that it is being repaired. Mr. McBryde then offered motion at 9:30 p.m. that Council enter into an executive session to consider land transactions and litigation only, seconded by Mr. Dawkins and carried unanimously. Council then reconvened into regular session at 9:45 p.m. Mayor Hurley reminded the Council members of the press conference at 9:30 a.m. at the Kyle House tomorrow morning to announce the 700 Haymount Development Project and encouraged all Council members to be present. Council then recognized the City Manager who recommended that the City purchase the Eloise Jenkins property behind the former County Court House Annex for $38,200, subject to a title search by the City Attorney. Mr. Dawkins offered motion, seconded by Mr. McBryde and carried unanimously to authorize the City to make the foregoing purchase as recommended. Mayor Hurley then adjourned this regular session at 9:47 p.m. upon motion made and duly seconded. Mayor Hurley then announced after the adjournment of the meeting that he had received word that the Cumberland County Commissioners had set the referendum on the blue law for December 13, 1983. SPECIAL MEETING MONDAY, AUGUST 22, 1983 FAYETTEVILLE CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL MEETING CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBERS MONDAY, AUGUST 22, 1983 7:00 P.M. Present: Mayor John W. Hurley Councilmembers Milton Wofford, Milo McBryde, J.L. Dawkins, Mildred Evans, Jimmie Jones John P. Smith, City Manager Roger L. Stancil, Assistant City Manager Robert C. Cogswell, Jr., City Attorney Absent: Councilmember Aaron Johnson Mayor Hurley called the meeting to order and offered the invocation. The first item to be considered was the motion made August 15, 1983 setting public hearings concerning Rick's Lounge and Club 21 for September 12, 1983. City Attorney Cogswell first outlined how the motion made at the August 15 meeting should be restated. He then discussed with City Council additional information on the ordinance and the public hearing. He then advised Council not to proceed with the public hearings on September 12 because of what he considered to be a weak legal position if a suit were brought challenging their actions. Upon motion by Councilmember Evans, seconded by Councilmember Wofford, Council voted to rescind their motion of August 15 setting the public hearing for Rick's Lounge and Club 21 with Councilmember Jones voting in the negative. City Council next heard a presentation from Rosalie Kelly and Tom Funk on the proposed Cool Springs Restoration.

The recommended action by the Planning Board was to deny request for rezoning to M-2 Industrial District from C-3 Heavy Commercial District and R6 Residential District and approve C-3 Heavy Commercial District zoning for the entire tract. Councilman Wofford asked the staff and other Councilmembers if they thought that it might not be wise in the cases of rezoning to consider those as they come up, without just a flat approval, especially where there is a contested rezoning. Planner Al Mitchell explained that the Planning Board held a public hearing and the members voted unanimously to deny the rezoning to M-2 Industrial District and approval of C-3 Heavy Commercial District for the entire tract. He further stated that the applicant had 10 days after the decision of the Planning Board in which to file an appeal and he did not. Therefore, according to the ordinance, this item goes to Council without a public hearing, and all that is required is action on the Planning Board recommendation. Mr. Mitchell further explained that had the Planning Board's decision been appealed, then it would be advertised and another public hearing would be held. Councilwoman Evans asked Mr. Mitchell if the applicant had been informed of the appeals procedures. Mr. Mitchell stated that at the beginning of all hearings the City's policy is stated in a clear statement and in addition to that, there is a sign in the hallway that explains the entire policy. He further stated that there is also an appeal form downstairs by the doorway that could be filled out immediately following the meeting. Councilwoman Evans then made a motion to follow the Planning Board recommendation to deny the rezoning to M-2 Industrial District and approval of C-3 Heavy Commercial District for the entire tract. Councilman McBryde seconded the motion which carried unanimously. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE. ORDINANCE NO. NS1983-35. A copy is on file in Ordinance Book NS1983. Mr. Smith, then explained to the Council his procedure for determining Planning Board consent items on the agenda.

Consideration of Amendment Number 1 to PWC Budget for fiscal year ending June 30, 1984. PWC Manager Ray Muench was recognized on this matter and explained this item. Councilman Wofford asked about the matter of the increase in the Commissioners salaries. He stated that he did not question the need for this increase only that his concern was with the fact and he did not see any disclosure of the administrative overhead of the Commission. He stated he would like to see this increase in next years budget. Mr. Muench stated that the Commissioners felt that an increase in salary should be approved by the City Council, rather than directly from the budget. After further discussion, motion was offered by Councilwoman Evans to approve the Amendment #l to the PWC budget as presented. The motion was seconded by Councilman Jones and the vote was unanimous. B. Consideration of approval of a $390,000 increase in capital expenditures associated with the purchase of LaFayette Water Corporation.

Following some lengthy discussion, Mayor Hurley called for a vote on the motion and it carried 6-1 with Councilman Wofford voting no. RESOLUTION ARCH-MASON PLAN REEVALUATION. RESOLUTION NO. R1983-46. A Copy is on file in Resolution Book No. R1983. 5. Consideration of Cool Spring Restoration Project.

Also it covers the contract approved at an earlier meeting to put a slate roof on the Kyle House at a cost of $16,820 with $6,820 to be taken from Council contingency. It also covers the purchase of a motor grader which will require $65,300 from the Street Reserve Fund. This budget ordinance amendment also includes a transfer of $16,500 from the Honeycutt Recreation Center Project Reserve which is currently being carried in fund balance, to the Savoy Heights project. Councilwoman Evans then made a motion to adopt the Budget Ordinance Amendment Change 84-3 and Capital Project Ordinance Amendment Change 84-1 (CAP-17) as recommended by the City Manager.

Mr. Smith presented this matter to Council and recommended that the bid for Two (2) New Rear Loaders be made to the low bidder, Simpson Equipment Corporation, Wilson, North Carolina in the amount $162,088. He further recommended, that the bid for One (1) New Front End Loader be made to the second lowest bidder, Kabco, Inc., Raleigh, North Carolina in the amount of $92,278. He stated that the reason for not recommending the low bid is due to the fact that they did not meet the requirement of the bids specification nor did they comply with general condition #7 of which requires the bidder to note all exceptions to specifications on the bid form. Mr. Smith explained that the first low bidder did note that the size was not what the specifications required, but to except this as responsive would be to the detriment of the other bidders. Councilman McBryde made a motion to award the bid to Simpson Equipment Corporation for the purchase of Two New Rear Loaders, and to award the bid for the One New Front End Loader to Kabco, Inc. The motion was seconded by Councilman Johnson and the vote was unanimous. 10. Consideration of award of contract for construction of Savoy Heights Recreation Center. Mr. Smith explained this contract to the Council and concurred with the recommendation of the Recreation and Parks Advisory Commission, that the award be made to the low bidders. Motion was made by Councilman Dawkins to follow the recommendation made by the Recreation and Parks Advisory Commission and the City Manager. The motion was seconded by Councilwoman Evans and was carried unanimously. The Council then took a five minute break. 11. Consideration of amendments to the following Traffic Schedules: A. Traffic Schedule Number 1 - “Bus Stops" B. Traffic Schedule Number 6 - “Stop Intersections" C. Traffic Schedule Number 11 -“Parking Prohibited" D. Traffic Schedule Number 14 - “Yield Intersections" Council recognized the City Engineer who presented this item and stated that the first of four proposed changes to Traffic Schedules is concerning a bus stop on the northside of Person Street and immediately east of Cool Spring Street. He stated that there has been a bus stop there for many years, but it has been unordinanced, and the Council discussed the problems of parking zones along Person Street some time ago and the next step is to suggest something to clear up those parking places on Person Street. Item No. 1 is establishing officially the parking zone that is already existing. Immediately east of that point, is a previously ordinanced two hour parking zone. The other step is ordinancing no parking at the corners of Cool Spring Street where the bus stop is, immediately west of Cool Spring and also for some years, there has been a right turning movement on Person Street onto south Cool Spring Street, then a short no parking area, proposed immediately east of Cool Spring Street. Then there is a no parking area previously established in front of the Greyhound Bus Terminal and that is what this represents. That takes care of schedules 1 and 11. Traffic Schedule Number 6 needs two corrections in Section 3 under Schedule Number 6 - “Stop Intersections" Alfred and Carol Streets should be struck off the list. Mr. Bennett recommends adopting the ordinance with those deletions. Then there is one change under Section 2 under Schedule Number 14 - “Yield Intersection" that should be a stop intersection. Councilman Dawkins then made a motion to adopt the City Engineer's recommendations with the above changes. The motion was seconded by Councilman McBryde and the vote was unanimous. The Ordinance Titles appear below. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA SECTION 20-106 OF THE CITY CODE, TRAFFIC SCHEDULE NUMBER 1 - “BUS STOPS". ORDINANCE NO. NS1983-37.

Consideration of adoption of Capital Project Ordinance CAP 84-1 (Street Resurfacing) and award of resurfacing contract #06-289-83 to Crowell Constructors, Inc. Council recognized Mr. Smith, who pointed out that the low bid based on unit price is $204,000. The amount originally budgeted for street resurfacing was $200,000. He then recommended that we establish a project ordinance with $225,000 in it and make an internal budget change which will transfer $25,000 from what was originally allocated for petitioned streets, to bring that from $250,000 to $225,000. He added that change could be done administratively, but the Capital Project Ordinance has to be adopted. Councilwoman Evans made a motion to adopt the Capital Project Ordinance CAP 84-1 on street resurfacing on contract number 06-289-83 to Crowell Constructors, Inc., the low bidders. The motion was seconded by Councilman McBryde and carried unanimously. Councilman Dawkins then recognized Billy Cannon, a Boy Scout who is working on a merit badge. 13. Consideration of City Contract Number 07-290-83 - Street Tree Planting - Maiden Lane and Ray Avenue. Mr. Bennett reminded the Council of the downtown plan that called for street plantings and provided along with the construction of Maiden Lane and Ray Avenue between Maiden and Hay, areas between the street curb and sidewalk for plantings. The project is for planting trees on Maiden Lane between Anderson and Ray Avenue on both sides of the street, along with a second row of trees behind the sidewalk on the parking lot side abutting the City's two parking lots. It also includes trees along the railroad side of Ray Avenue. Councilman McBryde offered motion to award the contract number 07-290-83 to the low bidder, Butler - Walters Landscaping, Inc. of Fayetteville in the amount of $46,949.50. The motion was seconded by Councilman Dawkins and carried unanimously. 14. Consideration of a resolution authorizing Condemnation of rights-of-way for West Street project. Mr. Bennett reported that several months ago the Council approved the opening of West Street into Whitfield Street in response to a request from the residents and a commercial facility abutting the proposed street. He reported that the project is underway, however some right-of-way is needed from one property owner and he fails to respond to written correspondence and phone calls. Therefore, the only way for the City to proceed with the project is to adopt the Condemnation Resolution. Councilman McBryde made a motion to adopt the resolution. The motion was seconded by Councilman Wofford and carried unanimously. RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING CONDEMNATION OF RIGHT-OF-WAY FOR WEST STREET PROJECT. RESOLUTION NO. R1983-47. A copy of the foregoing resolution is on file in Resolutions Book R1983. 15. Consideration of adoption of policy regarding receiving deed in lieu of foreclosures. Mr. Cogswell reported that there will basically be two requirements. One, that the City Engineer and the City Attorney certify in writing to the City Manage that for any outstanding unpaid taxes or special assessments, the receipt of the deed will not be detrimental to the best interest of the City of Fayetteville and two, that the property shall not be resold expect in accordance with the provisions of NCGS 105-376. Councilman Wofford raised a question regarding the possible liability of the City to pay any back taxes to the County. After some lengthy discussion, Mr. Cogswell explained that once the property is acquired by the City it is written off the tax books and therefore, no taxes are due. Councilwoman Evans made a motion to follow the recommendation of the City Attorney to adopt the City Council policy on deeds in lieu of tax book foreclosures. The motion was seconded by Councilman Jones and the vote was unanimous. 16. CITY MANAGER REPORTS: The City Manager informed the Council that Captain Bill Joyner, Director of the City-County ID Bureau has had surgery and is having complications. He asked that everyone remember him in their prayers and he added that Captain Joyner is in Highsmith Rainey Hospital. 17. DELEGATIONS: Request from Mr. John L. Foye, President of the 71st Branch of the NAACP to appear before Council to discuss “Discriminatory action occurring in the Fayetteville Police Department" and to seek clarification on the Officer Cecelia E. Gray matter. Mr. Foye appeared before Council and stated he would return at a later date. The Mayor reminded the audience that the City Council is restricted from discussing personnel matters in public, due to the Privacy Act. Copies of a letter sent to Mr. Foye from the City Manager explaining this were given to interested persons in the audience. 18.

In November, Council voted to establish a working committee to study. What is status at this time. City Manager stated that he had met twice with Mr. Reid, Freeman and Perkins to discuss.

Mayor Hurley thanked Officer Burton Hyde, of the Police Department for being with us tonight. Mayor Hurley suggested that the City should have an opportunity to get involved in a fund raising effort for the Statue of Liberty restoration effort.

Mr. Smith further stated that the existing contract was entered into with Fayetteville Progress, Inc. along with a subcontract with Zuchelli, Hunter & Associates, Inc. to perform certain services with regard to the 500 Block Redevelopment Project.

Rather than a perpetual easement, the City Manager stated he would recommend an access agreement in which the City would agree to allow access for as long as the City uses this property for the purpose of a public parking lot.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA CREATING A NEW CHAPTER 21A OF THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE CODE OF ORDINANCES ENTITLED “PARKS AND RECREATION". ORDINANCE NO. 51983-19 Councilmember Evans introduced the foregoing ordinance and moved its adoption seconded by Councilmember Dawkins. Mr. Cogswell advised Council that a change should be made to Section 21A-20, subparagraph (a). It should read “Violations of this article shall be a misdemeanor punishable by a $5.00 fine." Also the next paragraph, (b), fourth line, should be City “in" a civil action and not “and". Councilmember Evans amended her motion to include these revisions. Motion carried unanimously. A copy of the foregoing ordinance is on file in the Clerk's office in Ordinance Book S1983. 8. The next item for Council's consideration was to award the contract for Parks and Recreation Master Plan, and adoption of Budget Ordinance Amendment Change 84-5. Mr. Wilson presented this plan in detail. City Manager John Smith reminded Council that the City has set aside in previous budgets a reserve for improvements to the Honeycutt Park which is being carried in the general revenue sharing fund balance. Mr. Smith further stated that $50,000 is needed to complete the Master Plan and be appropriated from these funds, with a commitment that the funds will be replaced from general . . . . Linear Park is a top priority there are other areas that have needs as well and we will not be taking any funds from the Linear Park project. Following lengthy discussion, Councilmember Johnson offered motion to follow the recommendation to approve the Parks and Recreation Master Plan and Budget Ordinance Amendment Change 84-5 in the amount of $50,000, and authorize the City Manager to negotiate the contract. Councilmember McBryde seconded and motion carried with Councilmembers Wofford and Jones voting “no”. At this time, Mr. Smith was recognized. He stated that he wanted to let Council know where we stand on the Senior Service Center work to be done. The funds that Council appropriated to do the work were out of the Jobs Bill and there are some sticky requirements as to how it must be accomplished - such as, the contractor must agree to use unemployed persons. Therefore, we are going to have to do some innovating contracting on that. 9. Council next gave consideration of Airport leases. City Attorney Cogswell presented this matter and recommended approval of the following leases: Cannon Aviation East, Inc., Flight unlimited, Carolina Helicopters, Lambda Associates, Pegasus. Councilmember McBryde offered motion, seconded by Councilmember Jones and carried unanimously to approve the above recommended Airport leases. 10. Council next considered contracts for uniform rentals and recommended low bidder Dixie Uniform Rentals at $362.20 per day. Rental Towel and Uniform Service was disqualified as they failed to bid on flame resistant uniforms. Following brief discussion, Councilmember Evans offered motion, seconded by Councilmember Dawkins to award contract for uniform rentals to low bidder as recommended, and carried unanimously. 11. Consideration of amendment of Section 28-22(b) of the Fayetteville City establishing a first level review with the Airport Manager of taxicab violations at the Fayetteville Municipal Airport.

Mr. Smith also presented the matter of Mrs. Sallie Council's previous request for assistance in getting water because of her problems. Councilmember Evans introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption, seconded by Councilmember McBryde, to set a public hearing for December 19 to consider a request by Sallie Council for water. Motion carried unanimously. PRELIMINARY RESOLUTION FOR EXTENSION OF WATER IN A PORTION OF STANBERRY COURT. RESOLUTION NO. R1983-59 A copy of the foregoing Resolution is on file in the Clerk's office in Resolution Book R1983. Mr. Smith then asked City Attorney Cogswell to present to Council a problem with property deed at 700 Haymount project. Mr. Cogswell stated that a discrepancy has come about from the standpoint of when a survey was done some years ago and the description that we used in our deed to NCNB. When they measured the right-of-way from the center of the road there was a difference. If it is just a mistake when the deed was written then we can execute a deed of correction or quitclaim deed. Councilmember Wofford offered motion, seconded by Councilmember Dawkins to authorize the Mayor to sign a deed of correction or quitclaim deed for the 700 Haymount. The motion carried with Councilmember McBryde and Mayor Hurley abstaining. Mr. Smith then reminded Council of the memo he had sent them regarding the moving of offices within the Kyle House on Tuesday. 14. Delegations: Clinton Harris stated he had a request for the Stein Library to be used for a transit mall parking deck. He also requested a copy of the recommendation for Item 4A regarding Adams Court so it can be put in the senior citizens newsletter, and thanked Council for the work they have done on this. The third thing he wanted to request of Council was to have the water at Cool Spring tested. 15. Matters of interest to Council: Councilmember Jones stated he had several items to bring up: 1) A request for immediate annexation of Holiday Park had come from Henry Patterson; 2) A guard rail is needed at the lake by the Museum of Art on Stamper Road to prevent cars from driving into the lake; 3) A request was received from Mr. Gardner for restitution for a damaged tire on a broken catch basin across from Highland Lumber Company. Mr. Cogswell responded that the broken catch basin was not brought to our attention until after Mr. Gardner's tire was damaged and it has been repaired. Councilmember Jones asked Mr. Cogswell to send a letter to Mr. Gardner; 4) Councilmember Jones was impressed with the new radar screen in operation that shows your speed on the screen. Councilmember Johnson asked about the progress on the Rosehill Road traffic light. Engineer Bennett responded that a traffic count is in progress now. Councilmember Johnson also had request a request for the speed to be reduced from 45 to 35 on Ramsey Street to Country Club because it is largely residential. Councilmember Dawkins stated he has noticed two or three piles of trash that had been on Morganton Road since October 29 and requested Mr. Smith check into this. He also asked Mr. Smith to check on the holiday schedule for trash pickup so that it can run as smoothly as possible. Mr. Smith responded that this will be an item on the next agenda. Councilmember McBryde stated that he receives many complaints from merchants on Hay Street, especially along the 300 block. This is due to people using the street and doorways of businesses for relieving themselves in both ways while going to and from the “love lunches" and while waiting for buses. There was lengthy discussion on how to alleviate this problem and some suggestions were to have public restrooms, portapotties, and an ordinance to be drawn up establishing a law against this problem. Councilmember Wofford requested a Policy Committee meeting to be set soon. He also wanted Council to take special notice of his letter regarding the Blue Law. Mayor Hurley asked Council to reserve Sunday, December 4, 5:00 p.m. for the Candlelight Tour. There will be a resolution drafted for our appreciation to the military. Councilmember McBryde offered motion, seconded by Councilmember Wofford to go into executive session for the litigation and personnel matters at 10:10 p.m. Council reconvened and there being no further business adjourned at 10:55 p.m. REGULAR MEETING MONDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1983 REGULAR MEETING CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBER MONDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1983 7:00 P.M.

She stated her business is an old establishment and a number of customers are elderly ladies who find it more accessible to park in front of the salon. She stated she felt by forcing these individuals to park further away, that it would jeopardize both their health and her business. She said she felt the ordinance was working a hardship on her and that she would lose these valuable customers which are an asset to both herself and the City. She urged Council to reconsider their position on this issue, which was of the utmost importance to her establishment. She stated specifically she wished the parking changed back to two hours for the first block of Person Street where her business is located or authorize her to issue windshield plaques to her customers. There was then some discussion of this matter. Mrs. Evans then offered motion that we change the parking on Person Street from one hour to two hours. Motion seconded by Rev. Johnson.

Johnson then offered substitute motion that any merchant who wishes to do so, may purchase permits to extend the time which would be given to their customers in this area. The motion was lost for lack of a second. Mayor Hurley then called for a vote on Mr. Wofford's motion to not change the parking and it was as follows: For the motion, Councilmembers Wofford, McBryde, Mayor Hurley and Mr. Dawkins.

He stated the 1983 session of the General Assembly had amended the General Statutes regarding the removal of abandoned vehicles from public and private property.

CITY MANAGER REPORTS; A. Report on City employee Safety Program. The City Manager gave the Council a report on the Safety Program of the City and stated our Insurance and Risk Management Advisory Committee has recommended that the City seek assistance on a consulting basis, and also consider employing the equivalent of a full-time Safety Director. He stated he concurred in both recommendations. Funds for consulting services are in the recommended budget up to $10,000. Currently, the City utilizes on the General Inspectors in the Inspections Department as City Safety Officers. He stated he felt the equivalent of a full-time person was needed. The funds for this position are available in other appropriations (salaries) if it is decided to employ someone. The City Manager concluded by stating that in order to implement and administer the safety program, he intends to appoint a full-time Safety Administrator by the end of this calendar year. The implementation of these programs accomplishes on of the major goals outlined during last year's budget process. B. Holiday garbage collection schedule. The City Manager stated he had communicated with Mr. Clark Dill with his thoughts on the various alternatives for scheduling holiday garbage collection. He stated he agreed with Mr. Dill that when we have switched holidays in the past, it had created confusion. However, I also realize that we have not had a year in which so many holidays fall on the Monday/Tuesday routes as this year. Because of the concern expressed to members of City Council regarding this problem, I suggest that we try switching the Christmas and New Years holidays from Monday to Friday for Sanitation Department personnel only. There is general more to be collected during the week after Christmas then during the week before, therefore there is some rationale to having two pickups following Christmas and only one the week before. We would do a media blitz prior to the holidays announcing our schedule. I suggest we try this on a one time basis and evaluate the results after the holidays before implementing any new uniform policy. He concluded by stating that he will make an additional recommendation for 1984-1985. Mr. Wofford suggested that notices be placed on the carts in addition to the other media publication. The City Manager replied that these proposals will be given full coverage through the media. Following brief discussion, Mr. Dawkins offered motion for approval of the proposed scheduled as outlined by the City Manager, seconded by Rev. Johnson and carried unanimously. C. Report on proposed health insurance for retired City employees. The City Manager gave a report on this as follows: Health Insurance Retirees. Plan A - Self Insured, $10,000 maximum benefit. All regular retirees - full retirement, Exclusions: Age 65 covered under other groups, disability retirees. Blue Cross/Blue Shield Policy - $10,000 deductible - retiree expense. Plan B - Plan A plus City pay for Blue Cross/Blue Shield policy. If retiree does not qualify for Blue Cross/Blue Shield City will purchase conversion policy from Mid-South. Would only recommend a two year trial basis for employees retiring during the trial period. D. Report on proposed Police Department reorganization. The City Manager gave a report on this matter and distributed organizational charts for the Police Department. He displayed charts and provided information regarding the reorganization. He stated that under the present organization, Sergeants report to Sergeants and Captains report to Captains. He stated that promotional opportunities are limited. He displayed a proposed chart to change and update the organization. He stated there would be created new offices. He stated that the proposal is to build from the bottom up. He stated he would look first at the platoon structure this week. He stated he had scheduled additional meetings in December, January and February and, following these meetings, would report back to the City Council. Mayor Hurley extended thanks to the City Manager for this information. E. On a final matter, the City Manager reported on the Hay Street Transit Mall and stated that bids would be opened on December 20, 1983 and that he would come back to the City Council with recommendations in January and hopefully construction would began in February, 1984. 11. DELEGATIONS: Council recognized Mr. Jarvis Jones. He stated the City had requested through the City Engineer an easement on property owned by him in the City. He stated he had refused the request because a number of easements already existed on the property and he did not want to grant any more. He stated the easement was then secured through condemnation and he received $105.00. He requested payment of $850.00 for the easement, in view of the tax amount on the property. Mr. Jones stated he also owned a tract of land on North Street and that two easements had been given over the property, one for Methodist College and one for an outfall. He stated the property had been drained by a ditch. He stated he had given the right-of-way for a street. He said the property is now flooded because the drainage ditch is closed. He requested that the City consider buying the property from him. He stated he had discussed these matters with both the City Engineer and the City Manager, but no action had been taken to his knowledge.

In making this request, they certified to the City that their acts in arresting the Plaintiff were during the course as called by their employment. The two police officers were Officer J. R. Shupe and Officer Gary Scearce. The City Attorney recommended that Council authorize him to represent them in this case.
