Rusty Smith, Jr. stated Council was provided with a very comprehensive update of the Capital Project Sales Tax I and II projects, as well as an informative synopsis from the latest meeting of department heads. 5

6 The Capital Project Sales Tax I regained momentum after recovery from the most recent hurricane. All projects were moving forward rather smoothly and hoped to finish all on the newest established completion dates. As a financial update to the Capital Project Sales Tax I, the CPST I began being collected by Florence County merchants on May 1, Florence County received a total of $144,702,129 compared to an anticipated amount of $148,000,000. The SIB initially committed a total of $250,000,000. This amount was subsequently increased by $90,000,000 to cover any potential overruns on the Alligator Road project. Of note, substantial interest earnings accumulated due to, in most part, environmental delays. This earned interest must be applied to projects prior to match consideration. (Approximately $12 million.) The County continued to move forward on its Capital Project Sales Tax II program and was keeping the end in sight, maintaining coordination with all the municipal projects and would continue to do so to strive to push for completion. The Lake City Park Project was coming together as construction of the boardwalk was well underway. The new pump station was nearing completion and Council would be asked to award the bid for the picnic shelter later in the meeting. As was previously reported, 279 roads had been completed and an additional 5 roads were currently under construction. Construction was underway on the Meadow Prong roadway improvements, Brookgreen Subdivision drainage improvements, and shoulder widening had begun on the 5 roads in the District 7 resurfacing project. Also on Council s Agenda was the award of bid no /17 for the paving and widening of Koppers/Estate Road, in addition to approval of the right of way acquisition for this road. Council was also asked to approve the Duke Energy Utility Agreement and the Alliance Consulting Engineers agreement for CEI on this project. No bids were received at the January 12 th bid opening for the Lake City Chamber of Commerce Building Renovations contract so the project was re-advertised and seeking clarification and simplification with input from contractors. As a financial update on the Capital Project Sales Tax II, the initiative began being collected by Florence County merchants on May 1, Florence County had received 10 quarterly payments totaling $53,031,557 from the SC Department of Revenue. This was only $18,539 less than what was projected to be received through this date; however, the County received substantial interest earnings that would more than cover the shortfall. The Judicial Center project continued to progress. Masonry work was progressing at the first and second floor levels and the monumental stair erection started January 16 th. Exterior stud framing continued on to the final section on the North side of the building. Exterior framing at the Rotunda and roof had started. Window frames and glass were installed from the sally port to the Rotunda. Window frames were installed down most of the South face. Staff was finalizing numbers on the A/V and Security/Safety equipment for the building, as well as the furniture, fixtures and equipment, all of which was anticipated to be within budget. 6

7 The County continued its health initiative as it opened the new fitness center on the second floor. Staff was also looking to add another healthy choice by implementing the Carolina Farm Share Program. The Carolina Farm Share would help employees and dependents eat well and foster a healthy lifestyle. It would also serve as an impetus to support local farmers and enhance agricultural opportunities throughout the Pee Dee. The Florence County Library System was recently awarded a grant from the Foundation for the Carolinas to provide internet-ready kits directly to families without home internet access. Each kit included a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot, a Chromebook computer, accessories and instructions. The library was partnering with school districts throughout the County to identify families to participate in the project. As the County continued its assault on litter, 13 litter violations were issued with fines of $3,212 being collected. Crews had cleaned up 32.9 miles of roadway by picking up 536 bags of trash weighing in at 45,192 pounds. Cold and inclement weather reduced numbers somewhat but Mr. Smith stated he was very proud of where the County was with this effort. Also, Environmental Services had been working hard to improve the public image of the department. Council s approval of funding and construction of the new state of the art animal facility was the first major step in accomplishing this goal. Council also approved the creation of a position entitled Animal Shelter Facility Manager to promote adoptions and events. This had enabled the department to present a friendly face when dealing with the public. Instead of being greeted by an armed guard citizens were now greeted by an individual in medical attire, which had improved relations greatly with the public and other animal related organizations. The County also changed the road name from Pound Road to Humane Lane which also reflected a more positive image of the department. Approximately four years ago Council approved direct funding for a spay/neuter program. Currently every animal adopted was already spayed/neutered prior to being placed in a new home. Mr. Christmas stated that, for the first time in his thirtythree year career, the animal intake decreased and was continuing to do so. In his opinion the new trend was a direct result of the proactive spay/neuter program and the local low cost spay/neuter clinic. The Lucky Dog organization had been instrumental in rehoming 619 animals from the shelter to homes from Miami to Maine in The animals would likely have been euthanized by the County had this organization not intervened and partnered with environmental services. Plans were currently in the works to conduct the first annual free spay/neuter event. The Lucky Dog organization would fund the project and would provide 2 to 3 vets and several vet techs to the Sandy Memorial Animal Hospital in Hartsville on Saturday, February 18 th. Animal control officers had been working to identify people in Florence County that would like to have pets spayed/neutered but could not afford it. This information had been shared with the Lucky Dog organization and they would attempt to contact these individuals and coordinate transportation to the clinic. Mr. Smith stated that if there were no objections from Council, he would approve for the Environmental Services department to participate in the event and assist with transporting the animals. No objections were expressed. Mr. Smith stated that also, if 7

8 there were no objections, environmental services would like to change the signage on the building to read Animal Shelter Of Florence County instead of Animal Control Facility. No objections were voiced. Staff was also discussing options to thwart the influx of tires and e-waste at the Manned Convenience Centers. The County was fortunate to receive a grant award in the amount of $5,000 from Residential Electronics Recycling Grant program. In an effort to alleviate parking woes, the Clerk of Court and Chief Magistrate agreed to post a notice on jury summons to advise jurors that free parking was available in the new parking deck, the BTC parking lot and the 53 spaces opened at the Judicial Center across the street. The latest information provided by the SCAC advises that companion bills S. 394 and H were introduced in the House and the Senate the previous week which significantly increased the employer contribution rates in the State Retirement System. Mr. Smith stated he would be remiss if he didn t mention that Mike Meetze, Project Manager with Davis & Floyd had done an outstanding job working for Florence County on the Capital Project Sales Tax projects and he wanted to commend him publicly for his excellent service.
