We were not willing to accept the changes as <br />proposed, so after talking with my colleagues on Friday evening <br />at our annual retreat, we tabled indefinitely the proposed <br />changes to the Firearms Ordinance. We have also canceled the <br />public hearing as a result of that. The Sheriff will be here <br />tonight. He is also going to be presenting some other <br />information to us tonight. This Board will not be taking action <br />tonight or in the near future on anything that is presented and <br />should the Board decide to consider any changes in the future, it <br />will only be after there has been sufficient time for dialogue <br />with the community and to get a clear understanding of any <br />implications that could result from any changes to this <br />ordinance. That is what we are going to do tonight. To clarify <br />our agenda, we will be taking this off the Agenda. <br /> <br /> NON MOTION of Commissioner Fennel, seconded by Commissioner Carpenter <br />and unanimously carried, the Board approved the Agenda with the following <br />changes: <br /> <br />(1) Change Old Business, Item 1 (Revised Cabarrus County Firearms Ordinance <br /> Public Hearing) from a public hearing to a presentation by the <br /> Sheriff. <br />(2) Remove Old Business, Item 2 (Report by the County Attorney Relative to <br /> the Complaint by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Sorrow concerning the Placement <br /> of a Mobile Home in a Flood Plain) from the Agenda. The Board had <br /> authorized the County Attorney to pursue a course of action in this <br /> matter at its retreat on November 12, 1999. <br />{3) Add the following items to the Consent Agenda: Item 8 (Award Contract <br /> to Contaminant Control to Remove Asbestos Material from Old School <br /> Facility on Corban Avenue and Adopt Related Budget Amendment} and Item <br /> 9 (Service Agreement for the Cannon Memorial YMCA to Administer the <br /> Cabarrus County Senior Games). <br /> <br /> <br />
