4. Presentations
A. Fiscal Year 2021-22 Audit Presentation
Robert Bittner, a partner with the independent auditing firm PBMares, reported the town received a clean
unmodified opinion for FY22. He noted four findings of weaknesses or deficiencies in internal control,
including late completion of the audit, due to staff turnover and low staffing that have been resolved. He also
noted four related performance indicators of concern defined by the Local Government Commission,
including the lack of a board-appointed finance officer for the full fiscal year. Bittner said the Financial
Services Department entered the current fiscal year fully staffed and with qualified individuals, including a
new finance officer. The commission concerns require the Board of Commissioners to respond to the
commission within 60 days of the audit presentation.
Hillsborough Finance Director Dave McCole gave an overview of the growth and health of the town’s
financial funds between fiscal years 2020 and 2022, noting the town’s financial stability and resiliency
entering and exiting the COVID-19 pandemic. He said he is pleased with the staff in his department, detailing

7. Items for decision - regular agenda
A. Employee ID cards for use in future elections
Human Resources Manager Haley Thore presented the topic, which had been suggested by Hughes. She
noted an expiration date would need to be added to the town’s identification cards to allow the cards to be
used for identification purposes for voting in North Carolina. The board discussed and identified the following
for more exploration:
• Costs associated with equipment and processes, including comparing costs of lost work time
obtaining a free ID from the North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles with costs of the town
producing and maintaining updated IDs.
• Allocation of staff resources, including monitoring for potential changes in voting regulations or
procedures and updating the cards for those changes.
B. Retention schedule for meeting audio and video recordings
Town Clerk and Human Resources Technician Sarah Kimrey presented the topic, noting the adoption of the
state’s retention schedule in 2021 allows disposal of both meeting audio and video recordings once the
minutes for a meeting are approved. The town previously had established a period of up to three years for
retention. Kimrey noted that the town attorney advised formulating a written policy on the retention of
recordings. The board discussed the value of preservation for historical and research purposes as well as
balancing that with staff time and the required duty to the public. Staff will further explore various policy
options, methods of retention, and costs for discussion again later this year.
C. Hot topics for work session Aug. 28, 2023
The following was noted for the Aug. 28 work session:

regarding residential swimming pools.
• Update on the fiber project in and around town.

Communications Manager Catherine Wright answered questions from the board, including the website
vendors being considered, CivicPlus and Granicus. She noted updated pricing information for implementation

Motion: Hughes moved to approve a budget amendment to cover a design and maintenance contract
for a new town website. Ferguson seconded.
Vote: 5-0. Nays: None.
8. Updates
A. Board members
Board members gave updates on the committees and boards on which they serve.
B. Town manager
Town Manager Eric Peterson introduced Marshall Grayson, a Lead for North Carolina fellow who started a
yearlong fellowship with the town this month through a program administered by the School of Government
at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. About 90 jurisdictions competed for 35 fellows, who were
matched with the jurisdictions based on their interest.
C. Staff (written reports in agenda packet)
The mayor suggested the Police Department provide a comparative look after two full years of its quarterly
transparency reports to show items such as differences in arrests after traffic stops.
Assistant Town Manager and Community Services Director Matt Efird noted a Disaster Relief and Mitigation
Grant from the North Carolina Emergency Management Division has been approved, allowing the town to be
reimbursed $1 million in the $1.3 million spent for an emergency project to replace a large culvert on Valley
Forge Road, which had washed out after a large rain event in 2020.
