However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of my audit and, accordingly, I do not express such an opinion.

Public Hearing Allowances for Church, School and Public Building Signage Planner Ansell reviewed that an amendment was proposed to remove Section 152.271, Additional Signs as Special Use, from the Unified Development Ordinance. It was not clear why the requirement to obtain a special use permit existed specifically for church, school, and public building signs as these are typically non-intrusive sign types. Additionally, the amendment would remove the reference to banners, special events signs, etc. as they are addressed under Sections 152.268 and 152.269 of the ordinances. The amendment would also add language under Section 152.270 to require a sign permit for church, school, and public building (non-governmental) signage, and to establish sign size requirements. The public hearing was opened at 5:50 pm, then closed as there were no comments offered. Page 2 of 6 On a motion by Commissioner Turner, seconded by Commissioner Philpott, Ordinance 2022-O1 to amend Section 152.270, Signs Requiring a Permit and Fee, and Section 152.271, Additional Signs as Special Use, of the Unified Development Ordinance was approved unanimously and found consistent with the comprehensive plan. Business Non-Consent Text Amendment/Town Code Chapter 74 Traffic Schedules Schedule V. One-Way Streets Town Clerk Fender reviewed that at the February 22, 2021, Regular Meeting the Board unanimously adopted the Downtown Traffic Analysis for changes to be made effective after the tourist season concluded. The Town Code Chapter 74 Traffic Schedules Schedule V. One-Way Streets needs to be updated to reflect these changes and address other wording for conciseness. On a motion by Commissioner Turner, seconded by Commissioner Conaway, Ordinance 2022-O2 was approved unanimously. Budget Ordinance Amendment #2022-5 Jim Stipe, Public Works Director reviewed that an emergency repair to the sewage system was needed at the Public Safety Building. This would be the third repair in five years and the restrooms were out of order. He was requesting $6,250 be appropriated from fund balance. On a motion by Commissioner Philpott, seconded by Commission Turner, Budget Ordinance Amendment #2022-5 was approved unanimously. Accepting Emergency Supplemental Historic Preservation Funds and Adopting a Grant Project Ordinance for Emmerton School Repairs Manager Webb reviewed that the Town had been awarded $424,000 through the Emergency Supplemental Historic Preservation Fund (ESHPF) Hurricane Disaster Relief for Emmerton School (Old Town Hall) at 502 Church Street. The funds will assist in remaining Hurricane Florence damage repairs and resiliency measures for future events. The grant was established as a 100% reimbursable grant. Funding could provide: 1. Tuck Pointing of the interior and exterior bricks to help stop the water penetration that occurs. This would also include the application of a sealant to the exterior brick. 2. Repair the extensive damage of the crumbling brick work above the south front door and other interior walls. Page 3 of 6  3. Historic ceiling repair and repainting – Even though there is a new roof on the facility, some moisture did seep in sometime after the temporary fixes were installed. 4.

Attic Insulation Mrs. Webb explained that preparation of a schematic/design development drawings and construction drawings was not submitted in the application budget and is a federal requirement. The grant agency did say that the cost could be absorbed into the grant award, but it may likely reduce the amount of one or more other items, or the Town could absorb those costs which were estimated to be $10,000. Board member agreed with allowing the $10,000 to be absorbed into the grant funds. On a motion by Commissioner Philpott, seconded by Commissioner Turner and approved unanimously, the board authorized acceptance of the ESHPF Grant in the amount of $424,000; and adopted a Grant Project Ordinance and authorize the Town Manager to take all actions necessary on behalf of the Town to receive the grant funds. Manager Webb would provide updated details as project quotes were received and if significant overages were apparent those would be discussed for future funding.

Manager’s Report/Comments In addition to the report provided in the agenda packet, Manager Webb reported: - All crosswalks on Front Street for the new Downtown Traffic Movement had been completed and painting of the crosswalks at Church Street and Water Street would be completed in the coming days. Mrs. Webb reviewed that feedback has been received relating to the plan not reflecting any Handicap parking spaces, and that along with the Public Works Director they had identified locations that would support the requirements for two spaces. It was noted that additional spaces would require tearing up sidewalks and consideration should be taken on that during the budget cycle.
