16 <br /> 1 Commissioner McKee said the previous letter that went out left a bad impression with <br /> 2 residents. He said part of the discussion has to be that 25 or so years ago, there was an effort <br /> 3 by the County to name all roads in the County and to assign numbers. For whatever reason, <br /> 4 some people did not do this and now there is a dual system that is causing fairly major <br /> 5 problems with EMS and fire services. <br /> 6 Commissioner Price said putting the burden on the County would make things a lot <br /> 7 smoother. <br /> 8 Frank Clifton said staff recognizes the confusion of the last letter. There has been some <br /> 9 internal organization since then and the next notification will be better. <br /> 10 Commissioner Gordon requested that the steps be written out and put on the website in <br /> 11 a manner that is more understandable and less threatening. <br /> 12 <br /> 13 9.

She said she also went to the NACo conference and one of the big issues of <br /> 31 discussion was the possibility of a remote sales tax. This would be great for North Carolina. <br /> 32 Commissioner Rich said there was an informational item on Rogers Road and the next <br /> 33 steps document is being developed. <br /> 34 Commissioner Rich said she attended the Partnership for Young Children art show and <br /> 35 it was a lot of fun. She said she also attended NACo and it was very informative. She thanked <br /> 36 Commissioner Gordon for sharing her time with Congressman Price. <br /> 37 Commissioner Gordon said she attended the NACo conference. Regarding the session <br /> 38 with Congressman Price, there is a real chance that the remote sales tax bill will pass. She <br /> 39 said North Carolina loses almost $122 million in sales taxes annually at this time. <br /> 40 Chair Jacobs encouraged all to share their NACo information with other County <br /> 41 Commissioners. <br /> 42 Chair Jacobs said he was in the Link Center recently and the TV monitors with the <br /> 43 notices on them. He said it is a waste of energy to have these on in a meeting room where <br /> 44 there is no one. <br /> 45 Frank Clifton said this is a testing process for the cable station. These monitors are not <br /> 46 on all the time. <br /> 47 <br /> 48 13. Information Items <br /> 49 <br /> 50 February 19, 2013 BOCC Meeting Follow-up Actions List <br />
