3. Park Drive Water Line Extension Approval of Terms with Property Owner Section 51.02 of the Town Ordinance requires any new construction in the Town to connect to the Town s water system if service is available to the edge of the property. If service is not available, then the property has the option of installing a well or paying the full cost of the extension of the water line. Parcel 9925948 is located on Park Drive, and no Town water line is available to the property. The owners, Michael and Winifred Tate, who intend to construct a single-family house, have opted to pay for the construction of a water line rather than drill a well. Due to topography, the best approach is a 2 line from Essowah Dr. to the edge of the property. In February 2018 Mr. Tate paid the Town the engineering cost the for line, which was subsequently designed by WGLA and permitted by the State in August 2018. Before the construction can begin, the Town must have a written agreement with the property owner for payment of the waterline construction and the project bidding assistance and inspections by WGLA, estimated at $2,000. Mr. Tate agreed via email and verbally to pay the Town the actual construction cost at the completion of the project. The Town can place a lien on his property to ensure payment. No interest would be charged if paid within 30 days of project completion. If Council agrees to the terms, the next agenda item is for Council to award the construction contract. Town Attorney Sharon Alexander will draft an agreement between the Town and the Tates for payment of the construction and inspection costs. Attachment(s): Property Location Map Suggested Motion: To authorize the Town Attorney and Town Manager to develop an agreement with Michael and Winifred Tate for payment for all costs associated with the construction of a 2 waterline on Park Drive.

5. Davis Mountain Road Repair Update When the remnants of Hurricane Michael moved through October 11, 2018, a section of the shoulder of Davis Mountain Rd. experienced a slide. The travel lanes have remained opened, and the road stable, but the shoulder must be repaired. Since October, Town staff, Town Engineer Will Buie, and a separate geotechnical firm have monitored the road as a plan of repair was developed, and potential bidders identified. The repair will require the Town to either acquire an easement or property from Shaws Creek Farm HOA. The HOA President has been notified via phone and letter. Town Engineer Will Buie will be in attendance to review the plan. Attachment(s): Suggested Motion: None None Laurel Park Town Council Work Session Agenda January 10, 2019 Page 5

6. Planning Board Vacancy In June, Jim Morse, the ETJ Representative, notified the Town he was no longer able to serve on the Planning Board, creating a vacancy. The Town has no current applications on file for the Planning Board, and Council is asked to discuss recruitment for this position. The new member would be appointed to serve the remainder of the vacant term, which expires December 31, 2020. He/she would then be eligible for appointment to a full two-year term. Attachment(s): Suggested Motion: None None Laurel Park Town Council Work Session Agenda January 10, 2019 Page 6

Town Council Work Session Minutes December 13, 2018 9:30 a.m. The Laurel Park Town Council held an Agenda Work Session in Town Hall on December 13, 2018 at 9:30 a.m. Members present: Mayor J. Carey O Cain, Mayor Pro-Tempore Robert O. Vickery, and Commissioners A. Paul Hansen, George W. Banta, and Nancy P. McKinley. Absent: None. Staff present: Town Manager Alison Alexander, Interim Town Manager Michael Morgan, Town Clerk Kim Hensley, Police Chief Bobbie Trotter, and Public Works Supervisor Andrew Griffin. Mayor O Cain called the meeting to order at 9:30 a.m. APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA Commissioner Vickery moved to approve the agenda as presented. Mayor asked for discussion; there was none. The vote was unanimous in favor of the motion. RHODODENDRON LAKE NATURE PARK MITIGATION BANK CLOSEOUT REPORT AND CONSERVATION EASEMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN Clement Riddle of French Broad Mitigation Partners was in attendance. He said he received notification the Army Corps of Engineers officially closed out the Wash Creek Mitigation Bank in Rhododendron Lake Nature Park. French Broad Mitigation Partners provided the Town with $11,395.00 to assist with the long-term maintenance of the conservation easement areas within Rhododendron Lake Nature Park (removal of invasive plant species, repairs, plantings, etc.). Mayor O Cain asked Mr. Riddle for advice regarding the stream intake, as it continues to clog. Rebekah Robinson of Conserving Carolina was in attendance and said Conserving Carolina (CC) will continue to monitor the conservation easement. The Army Corp of Engineers is no longer involved with monitoring the area, but has a third party right of enforcement if CC doesn t enforce the easement. Ms. Robinson said she sent her organization s comments on the draft Conservation Easement Management Plan to Commissioner Hansen the previous day. Commissioner Hansen said he would incorporate her comments, and Ms. Alexander would distribute the revised plan to Council prior to the December Council Meeting. Council thanked Mr. Riddle and Ms. Robinson for their work in Rhododendron Lake Nature Park. No action was taken. FLEETWOOD HISTORICAL MARKER REQUEST At the September 13, 2018 Work Session, Council discussed a request from Fleetwood Plaza to relocate the Fleetwood Hotel Historical Marker. Bill Jacobs from Fleetwood was in attendance and reviewed the property owner s request. After discussion, it was the consensus of the Council to take no action to move the marker from the current location. FRIENDS OF LAUREL PARK UPDATE PRESIDENT ED MATTERN FLP President Ed Mattern said the organization is in a reorganization phase, due to the loss of three (3) board members in the previous three (3) months. He said the FLP Board invited current donors to attend a meeting on January 14, 2019 to discuss the organization s plan. He asked for Council to give the FLP a collective statement of what it would like to see from FLP.

PRESENTATION OF FISCAL YEAR 2018 AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BRONWYN BURLESON OF BURLESON & EARLEY, P.A. Bronwyn Burleson provided a detailed review of the audit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018. Mrs. Burleson forwarded the audit to the North Carolina Local Government Commission (LGC) for review, and no financial statement or compliance presentation issues were identified. As requested during the audit RFP process in Spring 2018, Mrs. Burleson provided Council with a three-page summary of the audit, and said if Council ever had questions about anything within the financial statements, they could call her. She said as of June 30, 2018, the General Fund Balance Available was $1,216,148. Total Fund Balance is $1,754,811, but $313,100 is already appropriated as part of the FY 2019 budget, and an additional $225,563 reserved to maintain a minimum 8% fund balance available. The Water Fund has $316,355 in equity. SNOW STORM REVIEW Public Works Supervisor Andrew Griffin provided Council with an overview of the Town s response to the record snowfall of December 8 10, 2018. He said Public Works personnel were at work approximately 60 hours, and he was at work for 76 hours. The water system experienced low pressure and a boil water advisory was issued due to unusual circumstances. The Echo pump house lost power before the tanks were filled. The backfill process from the Fleetwood tank worked well for Sky Village and Apple, but incorrectly for the Echo tank. Due to the resulting vacuum, the Town had to issue a Boil Water Advisory, even though there was little possibility of any contaminants entering the water. Council had a discussion of the cost for a portable generator and the impact of the snow on general town services, such as brush and leaf collection, and meter reading. APPOINTMENT OF MICHAEL J. MORGAN AS INTERIM TOWN MANAGER Mayor O Cain said after Alison Alexander submitted her resignation as Town Manager, Town Council met with Mike Morgan, retired Weaverville Town Manager, regarding the Interim Town Manager position. Mr. Morgan provided Council with an employment agreement prior to the meeting. Mayor O Cain said he reviewed the agreement, and it appeared reasonable. Mr. Morgan will assist the Council in the Town Manager search process, working a regular schedule of three (3) days a week until a permanent manager is selected. Commissioner Hansen moved to appointment Michael Morgan as Interim Town Manager and Zoning Administrator, effective January 5, 2019, as provided in the employment agreement. Mayor O Cain asked for discussion; there was none. The vote was unanimous in favor of the motion. Mayor O Cain thanked Mr. Morgan for his willingness to serve.
