23 <br /> <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Price, seconded by Commissioner McKee to <br />approve a recommendation to the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) and <br />the North Carolina Board of Transportation (NC BOT) concerning a petition to add the <br />remaining section of Paylor Street in Perry Hills Subdivision to the State Maintained Secondary <br />Road System. <br /> <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> <br />i. Board of Commissioners – Boards and Commissions Annual Selection Process <br />The Board considered voting to approve a selection process for the Board to utilize as <br />part of Board members’ annual selection of Boards and Commissions on which to serve going <br />forward in 2018. <br /> <br />Commissioner Jacobs said he fine with the stipulations, except for the two-year term <br />limit, which he finds insufficient. He said that some of these boards are working in a <br />competitive environment, and it takes more than a year to get up to speed. He said rotating <br />people through is not a good solution. He said most other local governments have <br />representatives serve on boards for years. <br />Commissioner McKee endorsed Commissioner Jacobs’ comments. <br />Commissioner Marcoplos said some board positions can turn over more quickly than <br />others. <br />Commissioner Jacobs said the transportation boards have alternates members which is <br />helpful. <br />Commissioner Rich said she has been an alternate on boards, and after a year of <br />service she still feels very lacking in knowledge. She said some board meetings seem like they <br />are being conducted in a foreign language. She sees merit to both sides of the discussion <br />regarding term limits, and struggles with finding the best solution. <br />Commissioner Price said she has no problem taking out the term limits, but with the <br />round robin process there is no guarantee of anything. <br />Chair Dorosin suggested keeping the two-year term limit for all boards, except for transit <br />related boards, where a two-year term limit would just be recommended. <br />Commissioner Marcoplos suggested a three-year term. <br /> <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner McKee that <br />appointments to regional boards be no more than 4 years, and appointments to intra-county <br />boards be no more than 2 years. <br /> <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> <br />a. Minutes <br />The Board approved the minutes from November 14 and 20, 2017 as submitted by the Clerk to <br />the Board. <br />b. Motor Vehicle Property Tax Releases/Refunds <br />The Board adopted a resolution, which is incorporated by reference, to release motor vehicle <br />property tax values for four taxpayers with a total of four bills that will result in a reduction of <br />revenue in accordance with the NCGS. <br />c. Property Tax Releases/Refunds <br />The Board adopted a resolution, which is incorporated by reference, to release property tax <br />values for twenty-four (24) taxpayers with a total of twenty-seven (27) bills that will result in a <br />reduction of revenue in accordance with North Carolina General Statute 105-381.
