that he had spoken to Interim Health Director Jen Braswell
regarding the perk test permit process.
Interim Director Braswell noted that the current time
frame was (8) eight weeks instead of (13) thirteen weeks and would make

possibility
of contracting with outside personnel to decrease the wait time until
the current vacancy is
filled. Vice Chairman Walker
requested Manager Steen to investigate why citizens were given
such a wide time frame (1-13 weeks, 1-8 weeks, etc.).

Fuel Tank
NCDENR Requirements
Support Services
Supervisor Danny Stovall presented the following information to the
Board regarding the recent NCDENR Violation Notices received by the
County on 11-29-07
pertaining to an audit of County owned underground fuel tanks along
with current upgrade cost
estimates:
Stokes County
Landfill - 10,000-gallon tank dispensing highway diesel fuel
1. Violation – Failure to inspect Cathodic
Protection System
·
System was inspected on October 30, 2007 – no
system was detected; therefore, piping will have to be replaced according to
15A NCAC 2N .0900.
·
Would also request to replace the dispensing pump
at the location due to the age of the existing pump
Walnut Cove
Refuse Site - 4,000-gallon tank
dispensing gasoline
1.
Violation - Steel piping will have to be replaced in accordance with 15A
NCAC 2N
.0900.
2. Well for human consumption within 100’ of
underground fuel tank
·
Before January 1, 2008, well for human consumption
within 100’ will have to be closed or the underground fuel tank permanently
closed
·
Decision made by Stokes County Management -
Port-a-let has been installed and water has been discontinued from the building
located at the site
·
Well at this location is still being used to supply
water to a yard hydrant for washing down concrete area in front of refuse
containers (approved by NCDENR)
3.
Would also request to replace the dispensing pumps at the location due
to age of
the existing pumps, numerous repairs, and new pumps would enable the
County to
place the new
pumps on the petro-vend system, which accounts for usage of fuel.
Stokes County
Garage - 10,000-gallon tank dispensing gasoline
1. Violation – Failure to inspect Cathodic
Protection System
·
System was inspected on October 30, 2007 and failed
to meet NACE standard RP0285-95

The Board discussed
upgrades to current facilities versus eliminating dispensing of
fuel by the County, quotes provided by Mr. Stovall, need for requesting
an extension from the
State, expenses incurred if the county discontinued dispensing fuel,
and funding from
contingency.
Mr. Stovall
recommended Option 1-turnkey quote from Southern Pump and Tank in the
amount of $42, 427.10 along with Protective Technologies for the Garage
in the amount of
$2600.00 – total project cost = $45,021.10. Mr. Stovall noted that the turnkey option
would be
dealing with one vendor instead of two or three vendors.
Chairman Inman
directed the Clerk to place the item on the January 28th Action
Agenda and directed Mr. Stovall to request an extension from NCDENR.

following information regarding the
Employer Support of National Guard/Reserve – Differential Pay:
The Board discussed Manager Steen’s
recommendation along with differential pay
during the two week active duty period.
The Board agreed to address the issue during
the upcoming budget process.
Inventory of
County Property and Space Needs- Continuation
County Manager Bryan
Steen requested additional time to review the recommendations
received from Clerk of Court Jason Tuttle and the Stokes County
Magistrates due to being
out of town last week. (Judicial
Meeting was held on January 9th to discuss space needs)
Clerk of Court Jason
Tuttle spoke to the Board regarding the following:
o
Need for space for District Attorney in order to
have personnel in Stokes County (possibly the current Law Library and
Magistrate office)
o
District Attorney does not wish to be located
behind the security doors – prefers to be located so that citizens can walk
directly into the office
o
Possible move of the Magistrate Office to the lower
level could create security issues
o
Move Law Library to one of the two small offices in
front of Courtroom “A”
o
Move Attorney’s computer to one of the two small
offices in front of Courtroom “A”
o
Move snack area from the lower level to the upper
level
o
Relocating the Grand Jury to Law Library – giving
Grand Jury Room and current probation offices to District Attorney
o
Request the Board of Commissioners review the
status of the office of the resident District Court Judge located on the lower
level of the Government Center. The County currently has two resident District
Court Judges and the current office is only being used by only one Judge and
that Judge has the only key.
District
Attorney Ricky Bowman spoke to the Board regarding the following:
o
Possibly two new positions in July 2008 – no space
available
o
Desire to have more personnel in Stokes County – no
space available
o
Not fair for the citizens of Stokes County to not
have the appropriate personnel in Stokes County – no space available
o
Desire to have at least 7 staff members in Stokes
County – no space available
o
Need for space to discuss confidential matters with
clients – no space available
o
Stokes County files are taken to Surry County for
storage – no space available
o
The Clerk of Court should also be considered in the
master relocation plan for future space
o
Need to consider the safety of law enforcement
officers
o
Need to consider a possible living area for
Magistrates for the future
o
Need for someone to make a decision
o
Willing to move as long as space provides access to
the public
o
First priority – space available that provides
public accessibility with additional space in the law library if possible
o
The main objective – move the first domino to get
the process started
The Board discussed
the information with Clerk Tuttle and District Attorney Bowman
along with the need to have recommendations of Phase 1, Phase 2, etc.
and cost estimates at the
next meeting.
The Board discussed
the request from Clerk Tuttle regarding offices for both resident
District Court Judges.
Commissioner Lankford
noted that all Departments in need of space must be
considered in the upcoming proposals.
Commissioner Carroll
noted the need to possibly move the Fire Marshal to the third
floor in order to have vacant space for other departments to move into.
County Manager Steen
reiterated the need for additional time to review the information
presented today by Clerk Tuttle and District Attorney Bowman along with
acquiring
information from Probations and Elections. Election Director Jason Perry had presented
information to the Manager today regarding not wanting to move if the
move could not be
completed by August 2008 due to the Presidential Election in the fall.
Chairman Inman
directed Manager Steen to contact Clerk Tuttle, Sheriff Mike Joyce
and District Attorney Bowman for input regarding the space needs and
present a
recommendation at the January 28th meeting.
