Morris, Chairman ATTEST: /s/ Terri Lea Hugie Clerk to the Board (F-3) Planning and Development (Soil and Water Conservation District Board) - Applications for Farmland Preservation Grants The Soil and Water Conservation District Board plan on applying for state and federal Farmland Preservation Grants to purchase development rights for permanent agricultural conservation easements on two farms. Farmland Preservation supports goals of both the Board of Commissioners, and the Soil and Water Conservation District Board by improving the quality of life for county citizens. Permanently protecting farmland ensures the land base necessary for the County's agricultural economy, while simultaneously keeping the tax burden low by maximizing the amount of land acreage where the cost of county services is lowest. The Soil and Water Conservation District Board has previously applied for and received grant funding to preserve a total of 307 acres of farmland. Any contracts or cooperative agreements associated with successful grant applications will be submitted to the county for approval. UPON MOTION by Commissioner Kiger seconded by Commissioner Shue and unanimously carried, the Board authorized the Soil and Water Conservation District Board to submit one or more applications to the North Carolina Agricultural Development and Farmland Preservation Program Trust Fund, the United States Department of Agriculture, and the Natural Resources Conservation Service's Agricultural Conservation Easement Program for funds to preserve land on two farms with conservation easements.

UPON MOTION by Commissioner Kiger seconded by Commissioner Shue and unanimously carried, the Board approved the September 2017 Refund and Release Reports as submitted, including the NCVTS Refund Report, and granted authority to the Tax Collector to process the refunds and releases.
