Cameron <br /> <br /> UPON MOTION of Commissioner Payne, seconded by Chairman Lentz with <br />Commissioners Payne and Hamby andChairman Lentz voting for and Commissioners <br />Upright and Barnhardt voting against, the Board moved to return the <br />$35,000.00 check to the State Office of Budget and Management expressing <br />concern about the liability to the County and asking the State to make the <br />check out properly and return it to the Piedmont Farmers Market, Inc. <br /> Mr. Dennis Yates, architect, presented an update on the Administrative <br />Office Building project and reviewed the three possible sites for this <br />complex. Stating the site adjacent to CK Federal Savings and Loan is too <br />narrow for the proposed building and the fairgrounds site is too far removed <br />from the downtown area, Mr. Yates reported he is now looking at the site <br />located directly behind the Courthouse. He stated that the possibility of <br />closing a portion of Church Street is currently being explored and that the <br />North Carolina Department of Transportation has been asked to evaluate this <br />proposal. According to Mr. Yates, the proposed 60,000 square foot building <br />with a two-level parking deck is projected to serve the County until 2010 and <br />will cost an estimated $4.5 million. <br /> Commissioner Upright left the meeting at 9:10 P.M. <br /> UPON MOTION of Chairman Lentz, seconded by Commissioner Payne with <br />Chairman Lentz and Commissioners Payne, Hamby, and Barnhardt voting for, the <br />Board endorsed the downtown site located across the street from the Courthouse <br />as the potential site for the new County Administrative Building. <br /> Mr. Charles D. McGinnis, County Manager, proposed that the Board go into <br />Executive Session to discuss possible property acquisition. The Board <br />indicated they would discuss this matter at the next Board meeting. <br /> UPON MOTION of Chairman Lentz, seconded by Commissioner Payne with <br />Chairman Lentz and Commissioners Payne, Hamby, and Barnhardt voting for, the <br />Board moved that on a trial basis beginning with the meeting in December the <br />zoning hearing currently held on the first Thursday of each month will be a <br />part of the evening meeting held on the third Monday of each month. <br /> There being no further business to come before the Board, the meeting <br />adjourned at 9:25 P.M. <br /> <br />Clerk to the Board <br /> <br /> <br />
