The property is located within the corporate limits. An existing single~family dwelling is located on a portion of the property and the remainder of the property is undeveloped. Surrounding zoning includes R10 {Single-Family Residential) to the north and west, CH-CU and R5 (Residential) across Bridges Street to the south, and R5 and R7 (SingleFamily Residential) to the east. Surrounding land use includes single-family residential to the north, a shopping center (Morehead Plaza) and public park (Piney Park) across Bridges Street to the south; multifamily (Woodbriar Apartments) and single-family residential to the east; and a religious institution (Impact Church) across Church Street to the west. All the setback and parking requirements have been met.

The Planning Committee of the Council reviewed the proposed rezoning at their last meeting. Mayor Jones opened the public hearing. 5. Morehead City Council Meeting- Tuesday, August 9, 2016 Lt. Rolland Lewis of The Salvation Army stated that the organization has outgrown their present site at 1700 Arendell Street and the campus-like setting of the proposed site will make it much easier to serve the community. Larry Lands, Lands End Road, Morehead City and on behalf of the property owners, when questioned about water runoff from the site reported that Stroud Engineering designed the property with a retention pond on the site. He demonstrated the directions of the surface water runoff on the map. Dwight Kinton, 212 Church Street, Morehead City commented that there is already a storm water runoff problem in the area. He was concerned that when the site was paved, it will contribute to increased storm water on his property. Ron Cullipher of Stroud Engineering reported that the water will be channeled onto the site and kept on the site as the water would be forced to the retention pond. The development of the site should not impact Church Street. He continued that this particular plan is minimal for the site as to what could be developed in thatzoning district. His firm has started the preliminary work and will move forward with the design. The project would not exasperate the water runoff situation as the water will flow out to the northeast of Waldron Drive. Jimmie Collins, 208 Waldron Drive, Morehead City commented that the drainage in the area should be corrected. The water comes around and goes between the alleys. There was also water coming from Church Street continuing around the corner to Waldron Drive. He requested that the water issues be addressed so the area will not be flooded. He continued that the area has been dealing with these issues for a long time and that the drainage ditch was a big concern. Effie Burnham, 209 Waldron Drive, Morehead City stated that water comes down Church Street and drains onto her property. If vicinity property was further developed more water will be entering the neighborhood property. Back a few years ago, the residents were told that the continued flooding was their problem. She commented that there is only one municipal drain in the entire neighborhood. Jimmie Collins commented that he placed piping in his yard to defer the water. Colleen Morgan, 212 Waldron Drive, Morehead City stated that she has water coming into her garage. Upon a question from Councilman Ballou, Ron Culliper stated that the proposed use of the site is 50 percent less impervious surface than what could be built according to the zoning. Dave Collins, 204 Church Street, Morehead City questioned if the retention pond was to be aerated? Ron Cullipher replied that it was not a requirement. The capacity was one [1] year 24 hour storm; 3.88 inches of water would be retained on site. 6. Morehead City Council Meeting- Tuesday, August 9, 2016 Jimmie Collins commented that when there is a storm the ditches fill up, and that the proposed holding pond will overflow contributing to a worse flooding situation. Katrina Smith, 2807 Myrtle Street, Morehead City was concerned with the storm water runoff. When it rains, water comes into the driveway. She would like the City to alleviate the water runoff and that ditches on the side of the road would help. She also expressed her concern with increased traffic in that area. There are nice oak trees on the property to be developed and she requested that as many as possible be saved. Lt. Lewis replied the developers will try to keep as many trees as possible. John Capps, 41 02 Plantation Road, Morehead City speaking on behalf of The Salvation Army, requested that the City review the drainage situation. He was a proponent of the organization and stated he served with The Salvation Army. He spoke about the Worship Center as a place of refuge. Dwight Kinton questioned the site having a driveway to ingress/egress onto Church Street. He was concerned this would contribute to increased traffic. Ron Cullipher replied that the two entrances to the site are for emergency vehicles, refuse removal, etc. Two [2] ingresses/egresses were necessary for a development of this size. Dave Collins spoke in favor of the Salvation Army. Planning Director Staab described all the possible screening/fencing for the ten [1 0] foot buffer on the eastern side of the property. Jimmie Collins stated that if a fence were to be the buffer, it needed to be strong enough to stay upright during storms. Mayor Jones closed the public hearing. Councilwoman Warrender addressed the issue of increased traffic onto Church Street. She was under the impression that The Salvation Army would not be contributing a high volume traffic area regarding the church services. Lt. Lewis reported that most of the traffic during the week was to the store. The Worship Center would contain social services, administration, classrooms as well as a worship area with approximately 50 seats. With regard to increased traffic, John Capps commented that The Salvation Army utilizes three [3] buses which are used to drop off worshippers. Councilman Walker stated he supported The Salvation Army but was of the opinion that the City should fix the drainage problems in the vicinity. Public Services Director Daniel advised the citizens that he would assess the flooding situation. He was not sure if the City could fix all the problems, as Bridges Street 7. Morehead City Council Meeting- Tuesday, August 9, 2016 was a North Carolina Department of Transportation [NCDOT] roadway and the City has minimal responsibility for its maintenance. The City can only work with the streets, not private property. He also contended that any chance of routing more water into Calico Creek would need a CAMA permit and meet further requirements. City Manager Whitlow advised that many of the ditches are on private property. The area is one of the more mature areas of the City and when developed no thought was given to stormwater runoff at that time.

New Business: Device Policy Adopt the Morehead City Employee Personal Mobile City Manager Whitlow reported that the Finance & Administration Committee of the Council reviewed the proposed Morehead City Personal Mobile Device Policy. The purpose of the policy was to provide for the use and reimbursement of employee owned or personal mobile devices that are used for City business. There are currently 58 phones on the City's account. In many. instances employees are using their own devices. If an employee agrees, they would have to sign the agreement to receive the $30 a month stipend. If this policy were adopted, the City would not pay any more money than what is currently being charged. There would not be a proliferation of phones, the employee usage would have to be agreed upon by City Manager and Department Heads. The employee would also have to understand that the phone then would come under the public records law of the state. The Finance & Administration Committee recommended that the Council review the policy. Councilman Taylor MOVED, seconded by Councilman Ballou to adopt the Morehead City Employee Personal Mobile Device Policy as presented. 9. S.C. Morehead City Council Meeting- Tuesday, August 9, 2016 Adopt Resolution 2016 ..31 Endorsing the Oyster Festival and Authorizing Actions Necessary for the Event to be held Saturday, November 26, 2016 on the Morehead City Waterfront We- Pints for a Purpose, Inc., a 501[c]3 corporation requested to hold an Oyster Festival at the Big Rock "Jib" Landing Site as well as the Deck at Ottis Landing in order to provide a family-friendly event that raises awareness for Wild Caught as well as farmed oysters. The Festival will also provide musical entertainment which will be free to the public. The Festival will sell VIP tickets for preferred access, alcohol, food and merchandise. The Public Works Committee of the Council reviewed the proposed concept and recommended that a resolution be prepared for adoption in order that this event may proceed. Councilwoman Warrender questioned if the applicant had contacted the Fire Marshal to which Russell Lewis, the applicant, replied not yet at this stage. When Councilwoman Warrender questioned the extra time allotted in the resolution, Mr. Lewis replied that extra time was needed for setup and breakdown of equipment. Mr. Lewis continued that he will leave the site clean, he has already contacted Robert Purifoy and has not as yet spoken to Sammy Boyd or the Red Fish Grill about the event. He has contact NC Fisheries about disposal of the oyster shells and the jib will be roped off during the event for the sale of beer. The concept, according to Mr. Lewis, was to have this as a free event and to charge for consumption. It is a fundraiser for the N.C. Shellfish Growers Association to provide sustainable oyster stocks. Councilman Taylor MOVED, seconded by Councilman Thompson, and carried unanimously to adopt Resolution 2016-31 endorsing the Oyster Festival and authorizing actions necessary for the event to be held Saturday, November 26, 2016 on the Morehead City Waterlront.

New Business: Approve the Amendment to the Personnel Policy Section "Law Enforcement Officer's Separation Allowance" Human Resources Officer Susan Nixon reported that after further review of the new Personnel Policy which was adopted by the Council on June 22, 2016, City staff recommended that Division VI, Section 13 Law Enforcement Officers' Separation Allowance be amended to mirror the language in the General Statutes that regulates this provision. This separation allowance is mandated by the General Statutes for police officers. The referring General Statute section is defined in NCGS 143-166.42 Special Separation Allowances for Local Officers. This amendment will eliminate any inconsistencies with the General Statute so as not to decrease or increase the benefit provisions in any capacity. The Finance & Administration Committee of the Council reviewed the recommended change. Councilman Ballou MOVED, seconded by Councilman Walker and approved unanimously, to approve the amendment to the Personnel Policy Section "Law Enforcement Officer's Separation Allowance". 10. 6.E. Morehead City Council Meeting- Tuesday, August 9, 2016 New Business: Approval of a Morehead City Logo to be Utilized on the Morehead City Website IT Manager Jonathan Snyder reported that on August 2, 2016, the Finance & Administration Committee had the opportunity to review the potential logo designs for the Town of Morehead City's website. There were a total of 15 design templates that were provided from the Graphics Design Team at ZION Technologies. This logo is going to be used to anchor the mobile friendly website currently under construction with ZION Technologies. An initial concern was that this logo would replace the official Seal of the Town of Morehead City, however, that is not the case. The Committee recommended that the proposed designs be reviewed and chosen by the entire City Council. IT Manager Snyder explained that the Morehead City website needed to be updated to become mobile friendly. With the proposed update of the website, it was recommended to design a logo to anchor the page. This logo could also be used for posters, ball caps, etc. The basis for the proposed design came from an employee contest which was won by Sarah Collins. Her design was submitted to Zion for their remodeling. Zion will sign off on the sole property rights to the logo. IT Manager Snyder was seeking an approval for a design for the website. City Manager Whitlow further advised that the current City Seal will remain as the official seal on paperwork and City vehicles. Councilman Walker MOVED, seconded by Councilman Taylor, and carried unanimously, to approve the logo on the last page bottom left corner to be used for marketing and advertising purposes. [The approved City logo is attached to and made a part of these minutes herein by reference.] 7 .A. Cit~ Manager's Report:- Sale of City Owned Property located at 304 North 25t Street [Former EMS Building] City Manager David Whitlow reported that in the fall of 2014, the City went through the process of advertising for the acceptance of bids on several surplus properties. One of the properties was the North 25th Street site of the old rescue squad building. Following the procedures specified in the General Statutes, the City went through an upset bid process, resulting in a final high bid on the North 25th Street property of $27,500. The Council rejected this bid and indicated that it would go through the process again at some time in the future in hopes of receiving a higher price. During the last week in July, Andrew Onorio submitted an unsolicited bid for the North 25th Street property in the amount of $67,500 to conduct a boat repair business on the site. The property is presently zoned R-5 which would not permit a business operation of this type. When Mr. Onorio first indicated an interest in submitting a bid he was informed that the City could not accept a bid on a contingent basis and that he would be bidding on the property "as is", with any rezoning action requiring a separate and distinct consideration involving the Planning Board and Council. The Finance Committee reviewed the bid at its meeting on August 2, 2016, and after much discussion, forwarded it on to the full Council without a recommendation. The 11. Morehead City Council Meeting- Tuesday, August 9, 2016 Committee felt uncomfortable considering bids on a property that might not support the proposed use due to the current zoning. Subsequent to this, yesterday a second bid was received for $55,000 with no contingency attached to it. Both bids were presented to the Council and could begin the upset bid process. The higher bid would need to be received in the correct form. City Manager Whitlow reminded the Council that nothing regarding the zoning process should be attached to the bid. In order for the bid to be valid, the City needs a willing purchaser to accept the property as is, where is, with no guarantees. The second bid of $55,000 complied with the General Statutes. City Attorney Derek Taylor advised that acceptance of the bid could not be predicated on the use of the property. The property consists of one and one-half (1 %) lots comprising .18 acres, with a tax assessed value of $50,654 for the land and $115,392 for the building. Should the Council determine this to be a sufficient bid for consideration, the next step would be to request a 5°/o refundable deposit, followed by the publication of a notice for the upset bid process per § 160A-269 of the North Carolina General Statutes. Councilman Walker MOVED, seconded by Councilman Ballou, and carried unanimously, to move forward and follow the procedures of G.S.160A-269 to conduct the upset bid process. 7.8. Receipt of a Downtown Revitalization/Award from the Rural Economic Development Division of the N.C. Department of Commerce in the amount of $94,340 City Manager Whitlow explained that the City received an unsolicited award of $94,340 from the N.C. Department of Commerce, however, the stipulation is that the City must submit a form to the state by September 1, 2016, on how the money would be used and the project must be completed by March 31, 2017. He suggested using the funding for Katherine Davis Park or to improve the corner lot at 4th and Evans Street that was recently acquired from the N.C. Railroad. The suggestions on how to spend the funds were landscaping and making permanent public parking at 4th and Evans Streets, permanent restroom facilities at Katherine Davis Park, a gazebo on the Jib property, canvas over the Ottis Landing dock, etc. After much discussion, the Council concurred that the best use of the funding with the limited amount of time for submission and completion was to improve the parking area at 4th and Evans Streets. Lisa Rueh, Director of the Downtown Morehead City Revitalization Association [DMCRA] commented that the DMCRA had aesthetic designs available and can forward ideas to the City Manager. 12. Morehead City Council Meeting- Tuesday, August 9, 2016 Council Requests/Comments Councilwoman Warrender requested the status of the new Dock Master position. City Manager Whitlow commented that the new hire will report on August 18th. With regard to the Charles Wallace Building Structural Analysis, the architect and engineer a week ago reviewed the Charles Wallace Building. A draft report should be available in a few weeks. Councilman Ballou asked about the proposed audio-visual updates to the Council Chambers to which City Manager Whitlow advised that the original projectors ordered were no longer available, and the new projectors were on backorder. City staff is waiting on receiving all the equipment so as to update the entire infrastructure at one time. Public Services Director Williams reported that the installation of the new elevator will take a few weeks. The order has been placed. Demolition will be done by in-house staff, and the vendor will install the elevator. 9. Adjournment There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 8:20 p.m. Gerald A.

SHALLOW DRAFT DREDGING GRANT NARRATIVE August, 2016 Spooners Creek Harbor has been home to Spooners Creek Marina and numerous commercial fishing vessels since the mid-1950's. Although ownership and upland development has changed over the years, the marina continues to operate, selling fuel and providing dockage and a pump-out facility for transient mariners and the commercial fishing vessels continue to exist. The 96 slip marina employs a Dockmaster who mans the diesel and gas pumps seven (7) days a week. There is also an office manager who assists with slip rentals. In addition to the marina, Spooners Creek is home to commercial fishing boats as well as residential boat slips. Spooners Creek also provides water access to a 48 acre tract of land with over 1000 feet of frontage on Highway 24 which is ripe for commercial development. In 2010, a group of the property owners, including Spooner's Creek Marina, formed Friends of Spooner's Creek Association, to jointly address the shoaling issues that were occurring in the approach channel from the ICW in Bogue Sound to Spooner's Creek Harbor. This 501(c)3 corporation's mission is to maintain free and clear navigation in the Spooner's Creek approach channel. The Friends successfully obtained a CAMA Major Permit #125-11 on October 19, 2011 which was renewed on December 11, 2014 and includes a maintenance clause. The CAMA permit allows the Friends to maintain the entrance channel to Spooner's Creek at 8' MLW depths. The Town of Morehead City was recently approached by the Friends of Spooners Creek to sponsor a Shallow Draft Dredging Grant application. Therefore, Morehead City, on behalf of the Friends of Spooners Creek, is requesting Shallow Draft Dredging funds in the amount of $40,000 to dredge the access channel to Spooners Creek from the ICW to the mouth of the creek. The $40,000 would be matched with $20,000 cash for a total project cost of $60,000. Grant funds would be used to conduct maintenance dredging in the entrance channel to Spooners Creek to maintain the 8' MLW depths and acquire an updated hydrographic survey. Data collected from the high resolution multibeam hydrographic survey will be used to assess the existing conditions relative to the permitted depths and calculate the amount of material above the permitted depth to assist with the dredging budget. Collected data can also be used in the future to understand relative shoaling rates for better management of the channel. The Friends have an active Major CAMA permit (#125-11) which allows for maintenance dredging. Spoils will be taken off site via barge.

DATE: September 13, 2016 REQUEST FOR TOWN COUNCIL ACTION TO: The Honorable Mayor and Town Council FROM: David S. Whitlow, City Manager SUBJECT: New Business: Morehead City Fire/EMS Presentation on Proposed Alternative Transport for Non-Acuity Patients Background Information Attached: Yes X No The Morehead City Fire/EMS Department will make a presentation on alternative transport options for non-life threatening injuries or illness. The Fire/EMS Department has been researching an alternative transport option for over a year and made a presentation to the Public Safety Committee. The goal of this program is to reduce the use of Advanced Life Support [ALS] ambulances on non-emergent calls. These non-emergent users would receive a voucher for taxi service to the hospital. Fire/EMS Chief Fulk has met with Dr. Mike Lowery, Medical Director of Carteret County, who authorized proceeding with the proposed option for a trial period. Morehead City Fire/EMS Services would respond to every call, however, EMS Technicians would be very clear in the decision of the alternative transport. Patients would have two [2] hours to call using the taxi voucher for free transportation to the hospital. Patients agreeing to alternative transport would also sign a refusal form from the Morehead City EMS Department. Attached is a guide for Fire/EMS Department staff to follow on these type calls for service which will be covered in detail during the presentation. The Public Safety Committee recommended proceeding with the alternative transport with low acuity patients on a trial basis for one [1] year. Recommended Action: If the Council desires, approve the proposed Morehead City Fire/EMS Department Alternative Transport for Non-Acuity Patients Program for a one [1] year trial period.

[ECCDI] has requested that the Town of Morehead City assist in securing financing [multifamily housing revenue bonds] in an amount not to exceed $14,000,000 for the acquisition, construction and equipping of an affordable housing development.

The financing would be in the form of issuance of tax exempt bonds resulting in an approximate federal tax credit to the Town of Morehead City in the amount of $140,000. The debt and burden rests solely with ECCDI and the City has no risks in this partnership. All expenses associated with the bond issuance, including but not limited to attorney fees, are all paid by the financing. The Finance and Administration Committee of the Council reviewed the proposal at their last meeting and recommended proceeding with securing the financing for the project and to set a public hearing for Tuesday, October 11, 2016 at 5:30 p.m. for the public to review the financing for the project and to further submit comments in writing.

It is hereby preliminarily found and determined that the Development will involve the acquisition, construction and equipping of a housing facility to serve persons of low and moderate income, and that therefore, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter stated and Section 160A-456(b) and Chapter 157 of the North Carolina General Statutes (collectively, the "Act"), the Town agrees to assist the Borrower in every reasonable way to issue bonds to finance the acquisition, construction and equipping of the Development, and, in particular, to undertake the issuance of the Town's non-recourse housing revenue bonds (the "Bonds") in one or more series in an aggregate amount now estimated not to exceed Fourteen Million Dollars ($14,000,000) to provide all or part of the cost of the Development. This initial approval is conditioned upon the Borrower providing such information as is requested by the Town with respect to the Development, allocation of volume cap to the Bonds and the Development by the North Carolina Tax Reform Allocation Committee (at the recommendation of the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency) (collectively "TRAC") and agreement between the Town and the Borrower as to the terms of the transaction. This approval is an expression of the Town's intention and is not an authorization to issue the Bonds. 2. The Town intends that the adoption of this resolution be considered as "official action" toward the issuance of the Bonds within the meaning of the regulations issued by the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). 3. The Bonds shall be issued in such series and amounts and upon such terms and conditions as are mutually agreed upon among the Town and the Borrower. The Town and the Borrower shall enter into a "financing agreement" pursuant to the Act for a term and upon payments sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds and to pay all of the expenses of the Town in connection with the Bonds and the Development. The Bonds will be issued pursuant to an indenture or security agreement between the Town and a trustee (the "Trustee") or the bondholder which will set fotih the form and terms of the Bonds and will assign to the Trustee for the benefit of the holders of the Bonds, or directly to the bondholder, the Town's rights to payments under the financing agreement. THE BONDS SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE A DEBT OR A PLEDGE OF THE FAITH AND CREDIT OF THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA OR ANY POLITICAL SUBDIVISION OR AGENCY THEREOF, INCLUDING THE TOWN OF MOREHEAD CITY, BUT SHALL BE PAYABLE SOLELY FROM THE REVENUES AND OTHER FUNDS PROVIDED UNDER THE PROPOSED AGREEMENTS WITH THE BORROWER. 4. The Town will cooperate with the Borrower, upon the prior advice, consent and approval of the Borrower, bond counsel and the Town's counsel, as it seeks to obtain approvals in connection with the issuance and sale of the Bonds, including, without limitation, from TRAC and from the North Carolina Local Government Commission (if such consent is required). 5. It having been represented to the Town that it is desirable to proceed with the acquisition, construction and equipping of the Development, the Town agrees that the Borrower may proceed with plans for such acquisition, construction and equipping, enter into contracts for the same, and take such other steps as it may deem appropriate in connection therewith, provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to authorize the Borrower to obligate the Town without its written consent in each instance to the payment of any monies or the performance of any act in connection with the Development and no such consent shall be implied from the Town's adoption of this resolution. The Town agrees that the Borrower may be reimbursed from the proceeds of the Bonds for all qualifying costs so incurred by it as permitted by Internal Revenue Service Regulations Section 1.150-2. 6. All obligations hereunder of the Town are subject to the further agreement of the Town and the Borrower, to satisfactory review by the Town of the financial capability of the Borrower and satisfactory underwriting of the Development, and mutual agreement to the terms for the Bonds, including the execution of a financing agreement, indenture, or security agreement and other documents and agreements necessary or desirable for the issuance, sale and delivery of the Bonds. The Town has not authorized and does not authorize the expenditure of any funds or monies of the Town from any source other than the issuance of the Bonds. All costs and expenses in connection with the financing and the acquisition, construction and equipping of the Development and the issuance of the Bonds, including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Town's counsel, bond counsel, other counsel and advisors involved in the issuance of the Bonds and any placement agent or underwriter for the sale of the Bonds, shall be paid from the proceeds of the Bonds or by the Borrower, but if for any reason the Bonds are not issued, all such expenses shall be paid by the Borrower, and the Town shall have no responsibility therefor. It is understood and agreed by the Town and the Borrower that nothing contained in this resolution shall be construed or interpreted to create any personal liability of the officers or trustees from time to time of the Town. 7. The officers of the Town are hereby authorized and directed to take all actions in furtherance of the issuance of the Bonds, including calling for a public hearing with respect to the financing of the Development through the issuance of the Bonds. 8. This resolution shall take effect immediately upon its passage. Gerald A. Jones, Jr., Mayor Attest: Jeanne M. Giblin, City Clerk CITY CLERK CERTIFICATION I, Jeanne M.
