She said she was a brand new <br />commissioner when they first discovered that and it has gone through extensive repairs to make <br />it safe. She asked if it is safe to wait 3 years on this project. <br /> Cy Stober said the current project includes a survey of the property and replacement of <br />the intake tower. He said that the NC dam safety program reviews it every year and they have <br />continued to maintain an adequate rating from that agency. He said that they will be eligible for <br />some grant funds and they will be sought. <br /> Chair Bedford said it would be valuable to put $300,000 forward now for Emergency <br />Services to get started. She said that could be her number 1 project. She said on page 82 there <br />is a roof mentioned and she asked if it could be delayed. <br /> Angel Barnes, Capital Projects Manager, said it is currently at end of life and they have <br />pushed it out and it is time to do it. <br /> Commissioner Fowler asked why there were no years one or two on that page. <br /> Travis Myren said there are just no projects scheduled for the first two years of the CIP. <br /> Chair Bedford said on page 88 the Rogers Road Community Center is listed and she <br />hopes the towns will agree to a cost-sharing agreement for the center. <br /> Commissioner Richards said that it was originally built with a cost-sharing agreement. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said there was a cost-sharing agreement in place to build it. <br />
