This facility is an <br />important element of the Board's Sustainable Community Initiative, begun in <br />2008. The facility will be constructed adjacent to the existing Cruse Meats <br />Company building located at 4701 Rimer Road. The management agreement, <br />authorized by NCGS 158 -7.1, provides for the operation of the facility by <br />Cruse Meats Company and the disposition of the property. He further advised <br />the loan amount for the waste water system as presented in Item No. 7 of the <br />agreement may change to $385,000.00 (See Consent Item F -2) and approximately <br />12 jobs will be associated with the facility. <br />Commissioner Carruth addressed the concept of the surcharge being <br />double taxation for county residents. Mr. Day advised that grant funds <br />eliminated the overhead costs for the facility thereby making the facility <br />more advantageous for potential users. He also noted that the facility will <br />be used by regional producers as well as County producers. <br />Commissioner Carruth also questioned the profitability provision set <br />forth in Item No. 15 of the agreement. Richard Koch, County Attorney, advised <br />that this provision gives the County some control over the price to ensure <br />that revenues cover expenses, should the facility be in a losing position. <br />Mr. Day also responded to additional questions from the Board. <br />Chairman White opened the public hearing at 7:06 p.m. The Public <br />Hearing Notice was posted on the County's website ( www.cabarrus county. us ) on <br />August 3, 2011 in accordance with Article 2, Administration, Section 2.1 (Use <br />of Electronic Means to Provide Public Notices) of the Cabarrus County Code of <br />Ordinances. <br />With there being no one to address the Board, Chairman White closed the <br />public hearing. <br />Commissioner Carruth commented on "local investing" and expressed <br />support for the project. Commissioner Burrage commented on the need to get <br />government out of private industry. <br />UPON MOTION of Commissioner Carruth, seconded by Vice Chairman Poole <br />and unanimously carried, the Board approved the Meat Harvesting and <br />Processing Facility Management Agreement between Cabarrus County and Cruse <br />meat Processing, LLC, and authorized the County Manager to execute the <br />management agreement, subject to revision by the County Attorney. <br />(G -2) EDC - Economic Development Grant Request nor Celgard, LLC and Public <br />Hearinc 6:30 P.M. <br />
