Minutes <br />The Board approved the minutes from November 1, 2018 as submitted by the Clerk to the <br />Board. <br />b. Change in BOCC Regular Meeting Schedule for 2019 <br />The Board changed the Board of Commissioners’ regular meeting calendar for 2019 to add <br />a location to the January 25, 2019 retreat. <br />c. Fiscal Year 2018-19 Budget Amendment #3 <br />The Board approved budget and capital project ordinance amendments for fiscal year 2018- <br />19 for the Sheriff’s office; Department of Social Services; Emergency Services; and <br />Planning and Inspections. <br />d. Acceptance of Electric Motorcycle Grant and Approval of Budget Amendment #3-A <br />The Board accepted $12,668 in reimbursement funds from the North Carolina Clean Energy <br />Technology Center to purchase an electric motorcycle; approve Budget Amendment #3-A; <br />and authorize the County Manager to sign. <br />e.

County Manager’s Report <br />Bonnie Hammersley said the rolling calendar indicated that the Environmental <br />Agricultural Center (EAC) and detention center were supposed to be discussed at last week’s <br />work session, but these items were pulled as staff is anticipating some budget concerns with <br />this project due to construction costs. She said staff is working with the architect and <br />construction manager, and will bring this item back to the Board when there are additional <br />options worked out. <br /> <br />10. County Attorney’s Report <br /> John Roberts said a lawsuit was filed today challenging the constitutionality of the <br />partisan gerrymandering, which is similar to the case filed in Pennsylvania that the <br />Pennsylvania Supreme Court upheld, and found the gerrymandering to be unconstitutional. He <br />said it is based on state constitution claims, and is thus unlikely that any federal court would <br />intervene, and it should be decided at the State level. <br />Chair Dorosin asked if there is also a case in federal court that has been successful. <br />John Roberts said there is a federal case that will ultimately get to the US Supreme <br />Court, but it only challenges the United States Congressional seats of North Carolina. He <br />thinks this case will either be sent back down, or ruled against the plaintiffs, at which point a NC <br />constitutional challenge could be filed in a similar manner to what was filed today. <br /> <br />11. *Appointments <br /> <br />a. Adult Care Home Community Advisory Committee – Appointments <br />The Board considered making appointments to the Adult Care Home Community <br />Advisory Committee. <br />
