5 Update on Hurricane Matthew Sheriff Larry M. Pierce updated the Board of Commissioners on the following relating to Hurricane Matthew: A State of Emergency was implemented effective October 8, 2016 and included a curfew in effect until October 12, There were no alcohol sales and persons were to stay offthe street during the curfew. The National Guard brought in Humvees and five-ton high water vehicles used for rescue operations. A National Guard MP unit secured areas of the county. A team of 10 officers from the Department of Motor Vehicles secured areas of the county. Three Swift Water Rescue teams from the City of Goldsboro, Wayne County Sheriff's Office and Lincoln County helped with rescues. The Sheriffs Office increased patrol units to help eliminate pilfering. The Sheriffs Office set up two logistics centers located at the Sheriff's Office Atu1ex and MarMac Fire Department to coordinate resources with the Emergency Operations Center. Two lives were lost due to the direct impact of Hurricane Matthew. There were two other deaths during Hurricane Matthew, but were unrelated to Hurricane Matthew. Office of Emergency Services Director Mel Powers updated the Board of Commissioners on the following relating to Hurricane Matthew: Hurricane Matthew made landfall in South Carolina as a Category 1 hurricane with 75 mph winds Wayne County had wind gusts up to 20 mph and rainfall amounts averaging 14.5 inches. Some areas of the county had 19.5 inches of rain from the hurricane. A tornado touched down behind Howell's Child Care on US Highway 70 West and caused localized damage. Wayne County experienced its highest flood level crest at 29.7 feet, which was 11 inches higher than the flooding from Hurricane Floyd. Wayne County had 65 roads washed or flooded out during the hurricane. Major arteries affected included US Highway 117 South, US Highway 70 West, US Highway 13 South, NC Highway 111 and NC Highway 55. Closing US Highway 117 South separated northern Wayne County from southern Wayne County. A medical care plan was implemented for citizens in southern Wayne County since access to Wayne Memorial Hospital was unavailable due to the road closure of US Highway 117 South. Four patients were airlifted to Vidant and others were transported to Vidant Duplin Hospital. Currently, there are barricades on NC Highway 111, NC Highway 55 and US Highway 13 South. The North Carolina Department of Transportation bridge engineers will need to inspect NC Highway 111 and NC Highway 55. Detours are in place. North Carolina Department of Transportation staff from other counties assisted Wayne County staff members. Three shelters were opened initially. The shelters have been combined into one shelter at School Street School. Last night 50 persons and 8 staff stayed in the shelter. 2,700 bags of ice and 75,000 bottles of water were distributed at MarMac and Mount Olive Wayne County has been in response mode up until now. There is still major flooding in the'seven Springs area. Of the 49 houses in Seven Springs, there was water in 4 7 of the houses. FEMA will open a Disaster Recovery Center at 12 noon today in the W.A. Foster Community Center, 1012 S. John Street, Goldsboro, North Carolina. Citizens can also go online or call to get information about individual assistance. The North Carolina Department of Transportation will be picking up storm related vegetative material from the roadside. The county is working with FEMA to pick up storm related construction debris. Additional information will be provided as it becomes available. Volunteers played a vital role in providing assistance.

6 Hurricane Matthew was quite different than Hurricane Floyd. The City of Goldsboro successfully protected its water treatment plant. The Town of Mount Olive provided a shelter for area evacuees. Vice-Chairman William H. Pate commended everyone on the great job they did during Hurricane Matthew. He appreciated the efforts of everyone to help the citizens of Wayne County. Commissioner Edward E. Cromartie stated southern Wayne County appreciated the high profile medical presence visibility and the coordination and cooperation from the Town of Mount Olive. Commissioner George Wayne Aycock, Jr. commended everyone on the job they did. Teclmology and cooperation made operations run smoothly. Dedication, hard work and training paid off during Hurricane Matthew. Agencies worked together. He was very proud of the efforts of Wayne County. Commissioner E. Ray Mayo stated there was great coordination between the Wayne County staff, volunteers and citizens. Other agencies looked good, based on the efforts of Wayne County. County Manager George A. Wood stated he wanted to publicly thank Sheriff Larry M. Pierce and Office of Emergency Services Director Mel Powers. Their efforts were well coordinated with lots of planning and forethought. As soon as the county knew US Highway 117 would be closed, assets were immediately repositioned to take care of the needs of Wayne County's citizens. He thanked Wilson County for taking the garbage in the northern part ofthe county. County Manager George A. Wood also thanked Wayne County Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Michael Dunsmore for his cooperation in arranging for the shelters. He thanked the City of Goldsboro, Town of Mount Olive and the outside agencies for working together. Public Comments Billy Strickland gave kudos to the Sheriff, fire fighters and Emergency Medical Services for their actions during Hurricane Matthew. He was impressed how smoothly things ran. No one was in a panic. The county had a plan in place and it was duly executed. The Wayne County Board of Education and legislators worked to provide needed resources. Billy Strickland stated farmers are concerned about the proposed noise ordinance. He understood the proposed noise ordinance would not affect farming operations. He suggested the proposed noise ordinance would be hard to enforce, regulated free speech and would be hard to regulate noise at sporting events. There is case law in place to regulate disorderly conduct at sporting events, which would be easier to enforce than noise from sporting events in the proposed noise ordinance. Tom Drew stated he was concerned about public forums; censorship; and being banned from the Wayne County Board of Elections, Wayne Community College and City of Goldsboro without the benefit of appeal. Public Hearing Proposed Wayne County Economic Development Incentive Grant for Alta Foods, LLC At 9:34 a.m., the Board of Commissioners held a public hearing to receive public comments on a proposed Wayne County economic development grant incentive for Alta Foods, LLC. Wayne County Development Alliance Existing Industry Manager Tiffany Creech stated Alta Foods, LLC manufactures flour and com tortillas at 701 S.

North Carolina At 9:37a.m., the Board of Commissioners held a public hearing to receive public comments on a proposed revised Noise Ordinance of Wayne County, North Carolina. Planning Director Chip Crumpler stated proposed revisions included the following: I. Clarify legal language 2. Define prohibited noise 3. Define exceptions to the ordinance 4. Define permissible level limits 5. Method of noise level measurement 6. Complaint procedure and enforcement 7. Penalties 8. Definitions The proposed Noise Ordinance of Wayne County, North Carolina was sent to the County Attorney, District Attorney and Sheriff for review. Seymour Jolmson Air Force Base requested no revisions to the proposed Noise Ordinance of Wayne County, North Carolina.

8 Planning Director Chip Crumpler recommended the following revisions be made to the proposed Noise Ordinance of Wayne County, North Carolina: Section Exceptions P. Noise made by dogs while hunting or being lawfully trained by hunters or emergency service personnel or law enforcement persormel. Section Exceptions Add V. Any noise made by a service animal Ray Smith questioned about the noise from unruly birds, bands playing at a high school and modified vehicle exhaust systems. He stated he did not think the ordinance could be enforced. He recommended leaving the current noise ordinance as it is. He would rather not have a revised ordinance if it could not be enforced. Planning Director Chip Crumpler stated the noise from unruly birds was not an exception. Chairman Joe Daughtery explained the noise must be louder than 90 decibels and last one minute during a ten minute period. The decibel level will be detennined by a sound meter. At 9:47a.m., Chairman Joe Daughtery adjourned the public hearing on the proposed revised Noise Ordinance of Wayne County, North Carolina. Special Recognition Presentation of Retirement Plague to Sandra Kemp Social Services Adult Services Social Worker Supervisor Laura Gurganus presented a retirement plaque to Social Worker Sandra Kemp with the Department of Social Services..

Wayne County Economic Development Incentive Grant for Alta Foods. LLC Upon motion of Vice-Chairman William H. Pate, the Board of Commissioners unanimously approved the Wayne County economic development incentive grant for Alta Foods, LLC as presented, subject to the wording of the resolution and agreement being approved by the County Manager and County Attorney. Adoption of the Revised Noise Ordinance of Wayne County. North Carolina Chairman Joe Daughtery moved to adopt the revised Noise Ordinance of Wayne County, North Carolina as presented with the following two amendments proposed by Planning Director Chip Crumpler: Section Exceptions P. Noise made by dogs while hunting or being lawfully trained by hunters or emergency service personnel or law enforcement personnel; Section Exceptions Add V. Any noise made by a service animal. In response to a question from Commissioner E. Ray Mayo, Sheriff Larry M. Pierce stated the Sheriffs Office leases time at the law enforcement firing range annually in order for law enforcement personnel to qualify. Generally, the members of the Sheriffs Office use the firing range in the fall and winter and are finished by 8:00 p.m. The gate to the firing range is locked and firing at 2:00 a.m. is not a sanctioned event. In response to a question from Vice-Chainnan William H. Pate, County Attorney E. B. Borden Parker stated the Sheriff would make the determination if noise at a sporting event would be a violation of the Wayne County Noise Ordinance or criminal law. In response to a question from Chairman Joe Daughtery, County Attorney E. B. Borden Parker stated the proposed Wayne County Noise Ordinance is not a violation of free speech. Some speech can be an exception. 5

9 County Manager George A. Wood stated the 90 decibel noise level must be sustained for one minute during a ten minute period. Chairman Joe Daughtery stated fanning is exempt in the Wayne County Noise Ordinance. In response to a question from Commissioner E. Ray Mayo, Chairman Joe Daughtery stated Wayne County currently has a noise ordinance. Deputies complain the current noise ordinance is not enforceable because the level of sound cannot be measured. Commissioner E. Ray Mayo stated he agreed the county needed to enforce the revised Wayne County Noise Ordinance. He questioned if the ordinance was being adopted as a formality and if the current noise ordinance was being improved. The sound level exceeding 90 decibels more than one minute of any 10 minute period will eliminate 98% of the complaints. Sheriff Larry M. Pierce stated sometimes deputies are challenged to do something about noise complaints. The North Carolina General Statutes allow the Sheriffs Office to enforce laws concerning noise from modified vehicle exhaust systems. He thought the proposed noise ordinance could be enforced. The Wayne County Noise Ordinance would be totally complaint driven. In response to concerns by Commissioner Edward E. Cromartie, County Attorney E. B. Borden Parker recommended the following amendment: Section Exceptions A. Noise emanating from athletic events. bands and band practice at any school, college or university in Wayne County; County Attorney E. B. Borden Parker stated the judges will not enforce the current noise ordinance in the county. Sound meters are easier to operate now. Upon motion of Chairman Joe Daughtery, the Board of Commissioners unanimously approved and authorized the Noise Ordinance of Wayne County with the following amendments: Section Exceptions A. Noise emanating from athletic events. bands and band practice at any school, college or university in Wayne County; Section Exceptions P. Noise made by dogs while hunting or being lawfully trained by hunters or emergency service personnel or law enforcement personnel; Section Exceptions Add V. Any noise made by a service animal. The revised and adopted Noise Ordinance of Wayne County, North Carolina is attached hereto as Attachment A. Appointment Wayne County Council on Aging Upon motion of Commissioner A.
