MEMORANDUM
To: Board of Commissioners
From: Kyle Griffin, E911 Communications Director
Date: February 16, 2026
RE: Resolution Closing Unopened Public Roadways
Summary:
North Carolina General Statute § 153A-241 authorizes the County to permanently close portions of recorded
public roadways. As the construction of Phase 2 of the NC Emergency Training Center facility moves forward,
staff initiated the planning and review process to name the access roads/driveways with ingress/egress to the
facility. During this internal review process, Planning and Zoning identified three (3) existing recorded, yet
unopened and unused, public roadways that have never been constructed or utilized for public travel. These
roadways are commonly referred to as “paper streets.”
Because these roadways were recorded on subdivision plats, formal action by the County is required to close
the unopened and unused portions that intersect County-owned property at the Phase 2 site located off
Airport Road.
In accordance with N.C.G.S. § 153A-241, staff is requesting approval of three separate Resolutions of Intent
to close the portions of roadway identified on the attached map, specifically portions of Kirk Road, Diana
Road, and Todd Road.
If adopted, staff will be directed to schedule three public hearings for the March 16 Commissioners’ Meeting
and to provide all required notice in accordance with statute, including notification by certified mail to
adjoining property owners, posting of notice in the affected area, and publication in a newspaper of general
circulation.
Recommended Action:
Approve three Resolutions of Intent to close portions of unopened and unused public roadways, commonly
referred to as “paper streets,” identified as portions of Kirk Road, Diana Road, and Todd Road, and direct
staff to schedule the required public hearings for the March 16 Commissioners’ Meeting and to provide all
notices required by North Carolina General Statute § 153A-241.

BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
WORK SESSION MINUTES
FEBRUARY 2, 2026
In attendance: Chair Scott Efird, Vice Chair Bill Lawhon, Commissioner Mike Barbee,
Commissioner Patty Crump, Commissioner Trent Hatley, Commissioner Brandon King,
Commissioner Billy Mills, County Manager Andy Lucas, County Attorney Jenny Furr, Clerk to the
Board Tyler Brummitt, Sheriff Jeff Crisco and E-911 Director Kyle Griffin.
Chair Efird called the work session to order at 4:52 p.m.
Bordeaux Construction – Stanly County Detention Center Renovation/Expansion Project
Representatives from Bordeaux Construction presented the proposed bid phase schedule and
the budgets for Phase 1 and Phase 2 should the Board decide to proceed with the project.
The Phase 1 construction cost is $24.3 million. This phase includes a 78-bed expansion, two
exterior recreation yards, updates to the existing booking area, upgrades to the existing
building and receiving, a new area of refuge, and an updated laundry room. All work for this
phase will be located within the existing secured parking lot area.
Phase 2 construction cost is $32.8 million. This phase includes a 16-bed expansion, additional
segregation housing within Level 2, a new public entrance, a new visitation area, a jail
administration area, a new medical office, and integration into the existing courthouse tunnel.
Following the presentation, the Board discussed the information provided with Bordeaux, County
Manager Lucas, and Sheriff Crisco responding to questions.
County Manager Lucas added that the project will be reviewed in more depth during the Board’s
planning retreat this Friday. No action was taken at this time.
Agenda Items
Due to the snowstorm, the FBLA members were unable to attend and present the
proclamation for Board action. County Manager Lucas requested that this item be tabled until
the February 16th meeting.
Additionally, it was requested that the Board table consent agenda item #7(E) - January 2026
DMV tax refunds, until the report is received. County Manager Lucas suggested that this item
be added to the planning retreat agenda on February 6th for approval.

911/EOC Facility – Radio System Connectivity Discussion
Director Griffin attended the meeting to address any further questions regarding the
additional funding request for the radio dispatch system and related connectivity for the new
911/EM Center.
Following the Board’s request at the January 20th meeting, Director Griffin contacted Frank
Thomason of Mission Critical Partners (MCP). Although Mr. Thomason was unable to attend
tonight’s meeting, he provided an email including graphs from MCP’s preliminary review of
the proposed microwave hop paths. This data supports the initial reviews conducted by
Motorola and confirms the necessity of a second microwave hop.
The Board discussed this information with no action being taken.
General Discussion
Vice Chair Lawhon inquired as to whether or not county taxpayer funds are being utilized to pay
for water and sewer improvements.
County Manager Lucas clarified that no taxpayer dollars are being used for these projects.
Instead, these improvements are funded through grants or by borrowing funds that are then
repaid by the system's users.
The Board moved to the Gene McIntyre Meeting Room at 5:52 p.m. to conduct their regular
meeting.

4. Scheduled Agenda Items
A. Proclamation Declaring February 9-13, 2026 as National Future Business
Leaders of America (FBLA) Collegiate Week
Presenter: Dony Santos-Lambur, Chapter President
Page 31 of 43

[PAGE 32]
This item was tabled until the February 16th meeting.
B. 2025 Outstanding Tax Report
Presenter: Clinton Swaringen, Tax Administrator
In accordance with G.S. 105-369(a), the Tax Collector is required to report the total amount of unpaid taxes for the
current fiscal year that constitute liens on real property to the Governing Body. Upon receipt of this report, the
Governing Body must order the Tax Collector to advertise these tax liens. Once approved, the advertisements will
be placed in the local newspaper during March 2026.
Mr. Swaringen noted that as of January 27, 2026, the total amount of unpaid taxes for FY 2025 was
$2,780,988.96. This amount will continue to decrease as the Collections Office receives additional payments.
Following a brief discussion, Vice Chair Lawhon moved to approve the request to issue an order to advertise these
tax liens during the month of March 2026. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Mills and passed by 7-0
vote.
C. Presentation Regarding the Commercial Property Assessed Capital
Expenditure (C-PACE) Program & Associated Resolution of Intent
Presenter: Elizabeth Kazimir, EDC Director
Director Kazimir gave a presentation on the Commercial Property Assessed Capital Expenditure (C-PACE) Program. This state
program allows property owners to obtain long-term financing for qualifying improvements, with payments made through a
special property tax assessment. Because the assessment can be secured by a lien on the property, the program offers lower
interest rates and longer payback periods.
C-PACE is designed to support local governments and property owners in making improvements without upfront costs.
Administered by the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina (EDPNC), the program promotes sustainability,
reduces utility bills, and can increase both property values and resilience.
Following the presentation, Director Kazimir and County Manager Lucas addressed several questions regarding the
program’s origin, loan rates and terms, lien transfers, default procedures, and the maximum loan amount. They also
discussed local bank participation, the number of other participating counties, and how our county first became
aware of the program.
A request was made for the Board to adopt a resolution of intent to participate. If adopted, a public hearing and
a request for a final resolution approving the county's participation in the program would be scheduled for the
next Board meeting on February 16th.
During the discussion, Vice Chair Lawhon suggested tabling the item to allow Director Kazimir time to meet with
local banks first. Commissioners Mills and Crump expressed similar views.
Vice Chair Lawhon then moved to table the resolution in order to allow Director Kazimir time to facilitate these
meetings with local bank representatives. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Crump and passed
u nanimously.
D. 911/EOC Facility - Radio System Connectivity
Presenter: Kyle Griffin, E911 Communications Director
As requested during the January 20, 2026 meeting, Director Griffin contacted Frank Thomason of Mission Critical
Partners. With Mr. Thompson unable to attend the meeting in person, he provided a letter to the Board confirming
the previous findings determined by Motorola. The letter corroborates that a second microwave hop is necessary to
ensure telecommunicators can reliably contact the various public safety departments when needed.
Following his presentation, Director Griffin responded to questions concerning the proposed financing agreement
and specific details of it.
Page 32 of 43

[PAGE 33]
With no further discussion, Commissioner Mills moved to authorize staff to proceed with negotiating the terms of the
lease financing agreement for the balance of the bundled Microwave/MPLS project as requested. Commissioner
Crump seconded the motion.
Prior to the vote, Vice Chair Lawhon stated that he feels the county is being placed in a difficult position, and
while he is unhappy with the circumstances, he will support the motion. Commissioner Barbee echoed similar
sentiments as well.
The motion passed by unanimous vote.
5. Consent Agenda

the County Attorney, Clerk, and County Manager for their attendance despite the inclement weather.
