Interim Chief Briley introduced Thomas Padgett as our newest patrol officer.
Mayor Mulligan introduced Beth Lewis, Yoga instructor. Ms. Lewis advised she has been teaching the yoga classes
that were originally set up by agreement between the Board and El Puente. She informed the Board that El Puente
no longer exists and she is interested in continuing the yoga classes without the support of El Puente. Ms. Lewis
advised she would like to continue on until the agreement runs out in November and needs to know what to do in
order to be able to continue the classes.
Commissioner Tyson expressed several concerns about the situation regarding the fact that El Puente did not uphold
the rules and guidelines that were set in place in the agreement. Commissioner Robbins said he was apprehensive
about the agreement in the beginning but feels we need to do what we can to work with Ms. Lewis to continue this
program. Commissioner Rooks advised he is in favor of continuing the program but desires for Pender County to
uphold their commitment of paying for an instructor as they were in the past. He recommended that Mr. McEwen
get with Ms. Lewis and set up an agreement to keep the program going. After much discussion, it was the consensus
of the Board to continue on with the program with new guidelines and agreements with the instructors.

DEPARTMENTAL ITEMS
Finance – Ashley Loftis
Ordinance 2015-12 Budget Ordinance Amendment Accepting Insurance Proceeds from Selective Insurance
Ms. Loftis advised on October 15, 2014, a vehicle accident occurred in the parking lot of the Town Hall building.
During this accident, a vehicle ran into the side of the building causing significant damage to the exterior as well as
the interior. She said shortly after the accident occurred, an insurance adjuster with Selective came out to estimate
the total cost of the damage. He estimated that the total replacement cost would be $52,583.19. The Town was given
$38,867.42 in the onset so that we could begin making repairs to Town Hall. Once all work was complete and
approved by the Town Building Inspector along with the Selective adjuster, the Town received the remaining
amount of the replacement cost.
Ms. Loftis advised to date the Town is in receipt of $52,583.19 (total replacement cost). Total expenditures for the
repairs of Town Hall were $51,631.48. The received revenues will need to be appropriated into the FY 14-15 budget
to cover these expenditures. Her recommendation is the approval of the ordinance to recognize the $52,583.19 into
the FY 14-15 budget to cover the appropriate expenditures.
There being no discussion, Commissioner Rooks made a motion to approve Ordinance 2015-12 as presented. The
motion was seconded by Commissioner Robbins and carried by unanimous vote.

ITEMS FROM MAYOR AND BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Commissioner Tyson advised she attended a Parks and Recreation meeting on Monday night and was disappointed
first of all that there was not a quorum, but even without the quorum present the two members in attendance
continued on and had the meeting with Ms. Roth presenting the Bike and Pedestrian Plan. There was much
discussion regarding the violation of the open meetings law and the fact that the rules are not being followed. Mayor
Mulligan advised he would speak to the members about the situation. There was also discussion regarding the
possibility of reducing the number of members on the Parks and Recreation Committee due to the numerous times
there has been no quorum present. Mayor Mulligan advised this issue will be discussed with the Parks and
Recreation Committee prior to any changes being made.
Commissioner Dawson expressed concern about the traffic at the intersection at US 117 and NC Hwy 53 and the
difficulty in getting through the light and making turns. There was much discussion regarding resequencing the
lights. Mr. McEwen advised he will contact NCDOT to determine if they can do something to help.
Commissioner Robbins commented that he has observed there is a lot of speeding traffic in town and it seems to be
getting out of hand. He requested heavier patrol and maybe more blue lights and pink slips.
Commissioner Robbins also expressed concern regarding the lot that was recently cleaned on Dickerson Street; he
said it is holding a lot of water on the back side of the property. Mr. Fay was asked to check on this situation.
CLOSED SESSION
Mayor Mulligan suggested that the Board go in closed session at this time since we have to wait until 5:30PM to
hold the public hearings. Commissioner Rooks made a motion to go into closed pursuant to NCGS 143-318.11
paragraph (a) (3) Attorney/Client Privilege and paragraph (a) (6) personnel. The motion was seconded by
Commissioner Dawson and carried by unanimous vote. The Board relocated to the manager’s office at 4:45PM for
the purpose of closed session.
OPEN SESSION RECONVENED
Closed session was recessed at 5:30PM and the Board reconvened to open session in the meeting room.
PUBLIC FORUM
Suzette T. Dudley, 509 West Satchwell Street expressed concern about the fact that numerous Code Red Calls have
gone out to the public concerning the street closures for the Blueberry Festival, but there were no calls regarding the
rabid fox that was killed in her neighborhood recently. She advised she felt that the Town’s priorities were not in
order in the matter. Ms. Dudley also commented that since the former police chief was suspended there have been
no police patrols in her neighborhood and she would like to see more patrols in the area. She commented there are
numerous traffic violations as well as drug traffic in the area that needs attention.
PUBLIC HEARINGS – Chad McEwen, Town Manager
Public Hearing 1 – Consideration of Adoption of the FY 2015-2016 Budget for the Town of Burgaw
Mayor Mulligan declared the public hearing open at 5:40PM.
Chad McEwen, Town Manager presented the following budget message:
In accordance with Chapter 159-11 of the North Carolina General Statutes, I am pleased to submit the proposed Fiscal Year 2015-
2016 Annual Budget Ordinance for the Town of Burgaw. The proposed budget establishes a tax rate of $0.48 cents per $100 of
valuation and based on current valuations, .01 cent generates approximately $27,137
Highlights of the FY 15-16 budget include the following:
No ad valorem tax increase proposed
BOC MINUTES
JUNE 09, 2015

No proposed increase in water or solid waste fees
A 10% sewer rate increase is proposed to help offset the 17.5% rate increase the Town of Burgaw has incurred due to
increases charged by Wallace (10% in Fy14-15 and 7.5% proposed in FY 15-16).
A 1.5% cost of living allowance (COLA) increase for town employees
A $20,000 merit pool for all full time permanent employees
No net increase of full time employees for the Town (police department will lose one position and public works will gain
one position)
No general fund fund balance appropriation is required in order to address the funding obligations within the FY 15-16
No water and sewer enterprise fund balance appropriation is required in order to address the funding obligations within the
FY 15-16
8% increase in health insurance cost over FY 14-15
5% increase in property and casualty insurance over FY 14-15
30% increase in workers compensation insurance over FY14-15 due to recent claims
Quotes for insurance pending from NC League of Municipalities
REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES
Estimated revenues for FY 15-16 were based on conservative estimates despite signs of positive growth in ad valorem, Powell Bill,
and sales tax revenues. This expected growth is due to the recent construction of several new commercial businesses including
Walmart, Murphy Gas, and Bojangles. The presence of these new commercial businesses will result in some significant increases in
actuals received during the FY 15-16 fiscal year. From a line item perspective, most revenues sources are anticipated to remain
relatively flat or incur a 5%-8% increase as compared to FY 14-15.
The Town of Burgaw continues to experience a financial boost related to the filming industry. Although the revenues anticipated and
received in FY14-15 were substantially lower than the two prior years, the Town did receive approximately $40,000 from filming fees
and related activities. The continued long term uncertainty surrounding the state level filming incentives will require the Town to
continue to modestly anticipate these revenues for FY 15-16.
After experience several years of below market health insurance renewals, the Town has been quoted an 8% increase for FY 15-16.
Our renewal increase of 8% is significantly less than the quotes received by several other comparable municipalities. The efforts we
have made of the last several years to improve our employee’s utilization of their coverage continues to reflect positively in our
renewal rate. This renewal is based on the same health insurance plan being provided to the Town employees for the upcoming year.
In regard to property insurance our current provider has quoted a market rate renewal of 5%. No changes have been made in regards
to our property insurance coverage deductibles or coverage levels.
Despite a 20% increase in workers compensation insurance for the 14-15 fiscal year, the Town has been quoted a renewal with another
30% increase. These increases are tied solely to Town’s claims experience over the last several years. Over the last three years the
Town’s carrier has settled a couple large claims that had significant implications for our rating.
Due to these increases we have requested quotes from the North Carolina League of Municipalities. We anticipate these quotes being
in within the coming weeks. Early indications are that the League of Municipalities will be able to provide a lower worker’s
compensation quote than what was provided by our current carrier via the renewal.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
In February, the Board of Commissioners held a Strategic Planning Session to discuss the capital priorities for the next five years.
During this Strategic Planning Session all requested expenditures over $5,000 were ranked in terms of priority and anticipated funding
year. The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), which was developed as a result of this meeting, will serve as a guidepost during the
budget process for the next five years. For FY 15-16 the following capital purchases were prioritized and budgeted for:
Capital Item Estimated Cost
• Town Hall Camera System $6,000
• Garage Upgrades $25,000
• Town Hall and Boardroom Renovations $15,000
• Arts Council Contract $15,000
• Sewer Rehab (Phase 2) $2.1M
• Public Drainage Improvements ONGOING

sources (i.e. Powell Bill), unencumbered funds through the Wallace sewer project, bond proceeds, and/or fund balance appropriations.
FUND BALANCE
In FY 09-10 the Board of Commissioners established a goal of retaining a fund balance goal of 25% of the town’s annual operating
expenses. At this time it is estimated that the fund balance for the general and water and sewer fund are 63.2% and 69.8%,
respectively.
SUMMARY
In summary, the proposed FY 15-16 budget insures the personnel and resources are retained to sustain the high level of services the
residents have come to expect of the Town of Burgaw. Although the current economic environment presents several challenges in
meeting these expectations, it also provides us with an opportunity to refocus our priorities to those services that are truly essential of
a local government entity. Over the last several years the Town has undertaken several proactive cost-cutting measures that have
enhanced the sound financial standing the Town has commonly been known to possess. These efforts will continue to provide the
Town with greater responsiveness, efficiency, and utilization of its taxing authority.
Mr. McEwen advised the recommendation is the approval of the budget as presented.
Upon completion of the presentation, the floor was opened for discussion. Commissioner Tyson mentioned that she
has a problem with paying the Pender Post-Voice an annual contract fee for the news box when the editor/owner
does not even cover our meetings. She commented that he calls it the “paper of record” but he does not cover our
meetings. There was much discussion regarding how we would handle the advertising without the box. Sylvia
Raynor, Town Clerk advised that we could cut costs by not having the “box” but by buying our advertising as
needed for public hearings and other public notices. After much discussion, Commissioner Tyson made a motion to
not renew the contract with the Pender Post-Voice for the upcoming budget year. The motion was seconded by
Commissioner Rooks. Commissioners Tyson, Rooks and Walker voted “aye”; Commissioners Dawson and Robbins
voted “nay”. The motion carried three to two in favor of not renewing the Post-Voice contract.
There being no further discussion, Mayor Mulligan declared the public hearing closed at 5:55PM.
