Willing Road is leased until the end of 2019. 12 Travis Myren said yes. 13 Commissioner Dorosin asked if the lease ends after that time. 14 Dinah Jeffries said May 9, 2019; but it is an agreement that she feels like Efland Fire 15 Department will work with her on, as they are aware of the remodeling project at the Krazy 16 Karts building. 17 Travis Myren resumed the PowerPoint presentation: 18 19 – Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Demonstration 20 • Roof mounted, 61kW system 21 • 11-13 year payback of County investment 22 23 Commissioner Price asked if there is a reason that solar is only being installed on the 24 Efland building, and not on Waterstone. 25 Travis Myren said they may do it on Waterstone, and that is a budget conversation with 26 Orange Rural, as it is the primary occupant of the facility. 27 Chair Rich referred to the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP), and 28 said she and Dinah Jeffries talked about this today. She said this is important, and asked if a 29 brief description could be provided. 30 Kirby Saunders, EMS Coordinator, said this plan has been on the priority list for three 31 years, with a goal to further enhance coordination efforts between the other municipal 32 emergency management teams. He said all EMS providers work very closely together, with the 33 County responding to the entire County, and the municipalities taking the lead in their locales. 34 He said the plan aligns responsibilities, planning assumptions, coordination etc. He said it is a 35 very collaborative approach to make them all stronger and reduce duplicative efforts. 36 Chair Rich asked if the University of North Carolina (UNC) is a part of this conversation. 37 Kirby Saunders said UNC has a system plan, and is not a cost-sharing partner, but is a 38 partner in operations and emergency response. 39 Commissioner Marcoplos asked if Mebane is included in this plan. 40 Kirby Saunders said Mebane belongs to Alamance County for reporting requirements, 41 but there is still a close partnership with these providers. 42 Commissioner Greene asked if there is a timeline for the creation of this plan. 43 Kirby Saunders said about 6 to 8 months, and they are looking for a consultant to guide 44 them. He said staff will come back to the Board of County Commissioners about their hazard 45 mitigation plan. He said this plan focuses on mitigating the impact of disasters, and is up for 46 renewal in 2020. 47 Commissioner Dorosin said it would be wise to have a readiness plan for disasters, 48 since staff knows the vulnerable areas. 49
