The culmination of all this hard work led the State of North Carolina to award 62 Lieutenant Stott this advanced certificate. 63 64 Recognition of Officer Ron Diaz - Traffic Investigation Certificate 65 Chief Beddingfield explained that Officer Diaz specialized in traffic enforcement and traffic 66 investigation. Officer Diaz dedicated a minimum of 500 hours in training along with core classes. 67 Officer Diaz was the 236th person in the State of North Carolina to graduate with this certificate. 68 69 Appearance of Terry Anderson to Present the 2013/2014 FY Audit 70 Mayor McIntyre opened the floor for Assistant Finance Director Kathy Gregory. Mrs. Gregory 71 briefly reviewed the changes from the 2013/2014 fiscal year to the 2013/2014 fiscal year. Mrs. 72 Gregory began her review with the General Fund Analysis; continued her review with the 73 Enterprise Fund Analysis; and concluded her review with the Columbus ABC Store. The 74 Enterprise Fund did include the $3 million Waste Water Treatment Plant upgrade and this is 75 reflected in the Outstanding Debt line item. 76 77 Terry Anderson then began his presentation of the 2013/2014 FY Audit by thanking Council for 78 choosing his firm to conduct the audit. Mr. Anderson believes the audit report meets the criteria 79 for the government finance officer’s qualifications for excellence in financial accounting. Mr. 80 Anderson also confirmed the reports are a fair and accurate representation of the Town’s financial 81 standing and that the statements meet all the formats required for government auditing standards. 82 83 The Town continues to be in good financial position. 84 85 The General Fund has a total of unassigned fund balance of $592,800.00 compared to total 86 expenditures for the year of $1,041,032.00. The total percentage of the unreserved fund balance is 87 56.94% which exceeds the Town’s required unassigned fund balance of 20%. The unassigned 88 fund balance increased by $18,700.00 or 3.3%. 89 90 The Enterprise Fund is also in good financial position. The unrestricted fund balance for the 91 Enterprise Fund is $1,452,848.00. 92 93 Mr. Anderson believes the financial reports reflect sound fiscal management in administering the 94 financial resources of the Town; and internal controls and segregation of duties are designed well 95 and appear to be functioning as intended. 96


97 The Town is in compliance with its requirements related to its Federal and State awards of $2.1 98 million which includes the loan proceeds for the Waste Water Treatment Plant upgrade. 99 100 Mr. Anderson concluded his review with the ABC Board audit. ABC Board received an 101 unqualified opinion, meaning the financial statements presented were a fair representation of the 102 ABC Board’s financial standing. The ABC Board reported a Loss from Operations of ($4,434.00). 103 104 Public Hearing Regarding Amending the Town of Columbus' Soil Erosion and 105 Sedimentation Ordinance 106 Mayor McIntyre opened the floor for the Public Hearing Regarding Amending the Town of 107 Columbus' Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Ordinance. There were no public comments. Mayor 108 McIntyre then closed the public hearing portion of the meeting 109 110 Consideration of Amending the Town of Columbus' Soil Erosion and Sedimentation 111 Ordinance 112 Town Manager Barth began the discussion by reviewing the requested changes to the ordinance. 113 Manager Barth recommends adoption of the amendments. Mayor McIntyre explained the 114 majority of the changes are due to the Town's ordinance wording being stricter than the State 115 statute, and the Town cannot maintain the stricter wording. 116 117 Councilman McCallister made a motion to approve the amendments to the Town of Columbus’ 118 Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Ordinance, Councilman Denton seconded, motion carried. 119 120 Councilwoman Metcalf made a motion finding that the changes to the ordinance are consistent 121 with the plans and policies of the Town of Columbus, Councilman Hall seconded, motion carried. 122 123 Consideration of Street Light Installation Request 124 Manager Barth gave Council a night time picture of the intersection that a citizen has requested to 125 have a streetlight installed to complement the agenda memo. Councilman Denton discussed 126 inadequate lighting further up North Peak Street. The area Councilman Denton discussed was 127 north of the intersection. Manager Barth agreed to have staff review the need of an additional 128 light in this area. 129 130 Council directed Manager Barth to investigate the ownership of the Bradford Pear Tree on the 131 opposite corner of the intersection so that it could be pruned to allow more light onto the 132 intersection. 133 134 Councilman McCallister is concerned about the streetlight in the intersection to the west of this 135 intersection. The intersection of Houston Road and Walker Street previously had a streetlight. 136 This streetlight was damaged when a vehicle struck the pole. Councilman McCallister feels this 137 light needs to be replaced. 138 139 Mayor McIntyre asked Council to drive through the intersection of Highway 108 and North Peak 140 Street, review the lighting of the area, and to discuss the issue further at the February 19, 2015 141 regular Council Meeting. 142 143


Council tabled the issue and will resume the discussion during the February 19, 2015 meeting. 144 Consideration of Designation of Two Hour Parking In Front of Farm Bureau 145 Councilman Denton suggested designating the parking on the south side of NC Highway 108 146 between Gibson Street and South Peak Street as two hour parking. 147 148 Jesse Navarro of Farm Bureau thanked Council for their consideration and explained the dangers 149 with elderly customers crossing Highway 108. 150 151 Councilman Denton began a discussion of the availability of handicapped parking spaces. Mayor 152 McIntyre asked Council to consider designating some spaces as handicapped parking. Mr. 153 Navarro explained to Council that he has not experienced any complaints regarding the 154 availability of handicapped parking. 155 156 Councilman McCallister made a motion to designate two hour parking for the spaces between 157 Gibson Street and South Peak street on the south side of Highway 108, Councilwoman Metcalf 158 seconded, motion carried. 159 160 Council Report 161 There were no items to report. 162 163 Manager’s Report 164 Manager Barth presented his report on the following topics: 165 166 • Manager Barth explained the RFP requirement for the USDA funding grant application. The 167

RFP must be sent out to local banks to get quotes for financing. If the local bank can finance 168 the Town of Columbus, then the USDA will not provide any funding. 169

• Manager Barth and Public Works Director Rosseter met with members of the USDA to talk 170 about potential funding for additional water storage. The members will be coming back with 171 an engineering firm who is interested in doing the preliminary study. The members will come 172 back to discuss involvement and any funding with Manager Barth. Manager Barth will inform 173 Council of the results of the discussion. 174

• Henderson County Soil Engineer Natalie Berry and Manager Barth have been meeting with 175 the owner of the property located above the pump station that has erosion issues. Progress is 176 being made to improve the side and should be completed by the 14th of January 2015. The 177 first meeting was January 2nd and at that time they were given the deadline of January 14, 178 2015. The work should be completed in two days; weather permitting. 179

• Manager Barth will be out of the office from Wednesday, February 4, 2015 through Friday, 180 February 6, 2015 for the North Carolina City and County Manager’s Association winter 181 meeting in Durham, N.C. Manager Barth attached the goals for the League of Municipalities 182 to his Manager’s Report. 183

• Manager Barth and County personnel discussed the Tryon Equestrian Center. Manager Barth 184 would like to facilitate a discussion with the Columbus Town Council and County personnel 185 regarding the economical impact of the Tryon Equestrian Center. Manager Barth would like 186 to first tour the facility and then initiate a joint discussion. Manager Barth would like to 187 schedule Thursday, January 15, 2015 to have a tour start at 3:00 pm with a discussion 188 following afterward. The Council would convene at the Town Hall at 2:45 pm, go to the 189 Tryon Equestrian Center for the tour, and then return to the Columbus Town Hall to have a 190


discussion. The tour will last approximately one and one half hours. Polk County Planner / 191 Zoning Administrator, Cathy Ruth, will be participating as an escort and will try to have the 192 foreman available for questions and discussion. Manager Barth confirmed the meeting will be 193 advertised as a special meeting. 194

• Manager Barth has drafted an explanation in response to a letter published in the Tryon Daily 195 Bulletin on December 31, 2014. He presented it to Council along with a request to submit it to 196 the Tryon Daily Bulletin for publication. Councilman Denton asked if the Fabulous 4th of 197 July budget can remain in addition to purchasing a few Christmas decorations each year. 198 Manager Barth confirmed that Council can review the budget and the possible purchase of 199 decorations. 200 201 Councilwoman Metcalf discussed forming a Christmas committee. This committee would 202 give Council input about existing decorations and the kind of decorations wanted by the 203 citizens. Councilwoman Metcalf feels that many citizens would be willing to give the Town 204 donations for decorations and many citizens have given the impression that they would rather 205 have the decorations as opposed to the fireworks. Councilwoman Metcalf asked Manager 206 Barth to send out a survey to citizens asking if they would like to see white lights, colored 207 lights, Christmas trees, light poles decorated, etc. 208 209 Ernie Kan, of 85 Street, discussed the holiday committee and the budget that was allotted this 210 committee. She would like the Handmade in America / Discover Columbus group to work 211 with the Christmas group. Mrs. Kan said that when “we do surveys, they don’t come back, but 212 the Handmade group has been able to get out into the neighborhood so maybe we can work 213 with that”. 214 215 Councilwoman Metcalf confirmed that she wants the survey to be conducted, then she would 216 like council to review the data, and finally the Council will decide if they would like to create 217 a Christmas committee. Councilwoman Metcalf wants the citizens to make the final decision. 218 219 Jimmi Buell, of 144 Case Street, explained that Handmade in America is part of the Discover 220 Columbus group and wants to help. The group has had a discussion regarding the Christmas 221 decorations and would like to hear from the citizens. Ms. Buell then discussed the different 222 committees in the Town of Columbus and in Polk County and how she feels they can work 223 together. 224 225 Councilman Denton and Councilwoman Metcalf feel that the more survey responses the 226 Town can get, the better the Council can understand what the citizens want. Manager Barth 227 discussed the option of having water billing customers complete a survey when they stop by 228 the Town Hall to pay the water bill. 229 230 Councilmen McCallister and Denton think the letter is a great response. 231 232 Council directed Manager Barth to submit the letter to the Tryon Daily Bulletin 233 234

Public Works Report 235 The Public Works Report was noted. 236

237


238 Police Report 239 The Police Department report was noted 240 241 ABC Board Report 242 The ABC report was noted. Mayor McIntyre asked for clarification on the disbursements of 243 monies to the Town. Manager Barth explained the ABC Board will now base the disbursements 244 to the Town on a financial assessment that is done quarterly. 245 246 Fire Department Report 247 Chief Tony Priester thanked Council for their support of the Columbus Fire Department. Chief 248 Priester gave Council a breakdown of the 2014 activities of the Columbus Fire Department. 249 Volunteers have put in over 6000 hours of training, 7000 hours of call responses, 782 EMS calls, 250 and 783 fire calls. These calls include four heart attack victims that were saved from death and 251 two fire calls that sustained minimal cosmetic damage to the structure. 252 253 The Columbus Fire Department has a response time of one minute and 43 seconds per EMS call; 254 this includes time to dispatch from the station and to arrive on site; for fire calls it takes 3 minutes 255 and 24 seconds. Fire calls take longer because they require gear gathering preparations. 256 257 In 2014 the Columbus Fire department became Medical Rescue certified. 258 259 The Peniel Road Substation is up and running, the BBQ sale was successful, and the Columbus 260 Fire Department put on their first Fall Festival. 261 262 On January 24, 2015 at 7:00 pm, The Columbus Fire Department will be holding an awards 263 banquet. Chief Priester personally invited the members of Council to attend the banquet. 264 265 Closed Session per NCGS §143-318.11(a)(3) Attorney/Client Privilege 266 Councilman McCallister made a motion to enter closed session per NCGS §143-318.11(a)(3) 267 Attorney/Client Privilege, Councilman Denton seconded, motion carried. 268 269 Council returned from closed session. 270 271 Councilman McCallister officially resigned his seat as a member of the Columbus Town Council 272 because he has moved out of the city limits. 273 274 There being no further business, Councilman Denton made a motion to adjourn, Councilman Hall 275 seconded, motion carried.

13 After the meeting was convened, the members traveled to the Tryon International 14 Equestrian Center. 15 16 Equestrian Center Tour 17 Cathy Ruth began the tour with a brief history of the equestrian center then directed the 18 information to current and future improvements.

This area will be a multiuse facility. The Tryon Equestrian Center plans on using the space 25 for shows, conventions, gatherings, etc. 26

• 1 carousel gazebo and 1 projected vendor gazebo 27 • 130 Recreational Vehicle sites – 80 current, 50 planned 28 • 19 log cabins – the log cabins are modular and can be converted into two units, giving a 29

total of 38 log cabin units 30 • The Salamander Resort – 150 room hotel 31 • A five-star resort in the White Oak Development 32 • White Oak Development – A projected housing development with 800 homes planned. 33

34 The group discussed several aspects of the development including: 35

• Construction: 36 o Construction of the Tryon International Equestrian Center began in 2012 37 o Blue ridge Log Cabins has supplied the modular cabins 38 o Local contractor use – Polk and Henderson County contractors are utilized 39 o Onsite manufacturing of performance ring fill materials 40

• Property Taxes and Zoning Impact: 41 o Concerns about an increase in surrounding property taxes were discussed 42 o A “neighborhood” tax base is created for the Tryon Equestrian Center that does not 43

negatively impact the surrounding properties 44 o Revenue Neutral – even if the tax value increase, the tax base increases and the 45

revenue will level out. 46 o Vacation Rentals – discussion of allowing vacation rental zoning 47


o Zoning changes – consideration of allowing two residences per parcel. 48 • Revenue: 49

o Owners of the Tryon International Equestrian Center are now local home owners, 50 paying local property taxes 51

o Legends Covered viewing area – 1 table for 6 people possibly rented for 52 $20,000.00 53

• Impact: 56 o A balance to encourage growth and remain rural is needed 57 o Advertising and avenues to encourage visitors to Columbus 58 o Polk County High School and Isothermal Community College are working 59

shows may charge admission fees 63 64 After the tour ended, the members traveled back to the Columbus Town Hall. 65 Cathy Ruth began the discussion with a quick summary of the impression given, by the Town of 66 Columbus, to the visitors of the center. Some visitors felt that Columbus looks “dated”, that 67 Columbus is a safe place but needs more lighting, and that the people of Columbus are friendly. 68 69 Robert Williamson continued the discussion by asking the tour group what their impression was 70 of the Tryon International Equestrian Center. Councilman Denton felt the facility was amazing. 71 Mayor McIntyre was impressed with how quickly the construction is coming along and feels that 72 the Town is not prepared for this opportunity. Councilman Hall would like to sit down and find 73 out what expectations are being placed on the Town. He feels the Town will learn what is needed 74 during the season as more people arrive, but that the Town still needs to plan for the influx. 75 Councilman Hall paralleled the events at the center with the events at the Polk County High 76 School. 77 78 Chief Beddingfield then began a discussion of improvements for the town. He has some 79 professional concerns about vacant buildings, migrant laborers, and the aesthetics of the town. 80 Councilman Denton agreed and added that decorative light and traffic poles could help improve 81 lighting and be more attractive than the existing fixtures. Mayor McIntyre discussed lodging 82 possibilities, improving the look of the restaurants, and the availability of conveniences. 83 84 Robert Williamson then facilitated a discussion by asking the tour group what concerns they had 85 about the impact of the center to the Town of Columbus. Chief Beddingfield mentioned the issue 86 with parking and utilizing areas to share parking. Councilman Denton discussed the need for 87 restaurants to adjust their hours to meet the needs of the influx of people. Mayor McIntyre agreed 88 that restaurants need to share in this opportunity and that Council needs to communicate with 89 restaurant owners. He then suggested getting the owners together to tour the center. 90 91 County Manager Marche Pittman moved the discussion from concerns to how to communicate 92 with the business owners and open a dialogue about a business association. Mayor McIntyre 93 agreed that the need is greater now more than ever to get the owners together. Councilman Hall 94


felt that the Council needs to get the message out. The group discussed ideas on how to get a 95 meeting together and how to get the word out. The Town of Columbus can facilitate involvement 96 with the business owners. 97 98

• The first step would be to have the Town Manager contact the Business Owners to find a 99 good date and time for a meeting 100

• The second step would be for the owners to attend a meeting 101 102 Many ideas were discussed on how to generate interest in the meeting. Jimmi Buell of the 103 Handmade in America Committee discussed tactics used to generate interest in their asset 104 mapping meetings. She felt that a familiar face inviting the business owners might generate more 105 interest in the meeting. The Columbus Police Department can talk to business owners and invite 106 them to give the meeting a try. The Town Council could provide refreshments and the space for 107 the meeting. A tour of the center was discussed, but Cathy Ruth cautioned the idea; she explained 108 that we need to take care not to show favoritism and be careful of the tour group size. 109 110 Manager Barth felt there was a great value in having a meeting with the merchants, town staff, 111 Council, and county staff. 112 113 The discussion then shifted to visitors coming and staying in town. Robert Williamson discussed 114 one deterrent is that Polk County is a dry county. He also explained that tourists come and visit 115 for a short time then they leave, while visitors staying longer and come back. The Town of 116 Columbus wants to promote more visitors. 117 118 A discussion followed of how to encourage visitors to stay in Columbus. One idea was to change 119 the regulations regarding lodging. Some buildings that currently do not allow temporary lodging 120 could be considered for a change to allowing it; Cathy Ruth reminded the group that Council can 121 always entertain an ordinance amendment to make changes. One area of focus would be to allow 122 residential rentals. Single family homes could become vacation rentals to meet the needs of 123 visitors. The Planning board could look at making these changes and make any recommendations 124 to Council. Robert Williamson asked to attend the February 2015 planning board meeting to 125 discuss these ideas. 126 127 Chief Beddingfield mentioned another potential group for involvement when he asked if St. 128 Luke’s Hospital had been contacted and briefed on the potential area impact. Some discussion 129 followed of the demand placed on EMS services during the equestrian season and how these 130 needs are being met. 131 132 Cathy Ruth brought up another potential group when she spoke about public transportation. Many 133 of the municipalities within Polk County and residents outside these municipalities have a need 134 for a public transit route to and from the Tryon International Equestrian Center. Mrs. Ruth asked 135 Council to consider if the Town of Columbus would like to be involved in the system and have a 136 route from Columbus to the center. A brief discussion of the merits of having a Columbus to 137 Center route followed. 138 139 Robert Williamson concluded the discussion with a promise to continue studying the visitors at 140 the center and their impact in the surrounding area, and by giving the group a summary of needs 141


for the Town of Columbus. Columbus needs to plug into the community and get discussions 142 going regarding needs and impact to the town, the town needs to look at how to prepare for the 143 large number of potential visitors and tourists coming to town over the next season, and how to 144 open the lines of communication between the different groups in town to find out their needs and 145 how they will handle the impact of the Tryon International Equestrian Center. 146 147 There being no further business, Mayor McIntyre adjourned the meeting. The meeting was 148 adjourned at 6:00 p.m. 149 150 151

MEMORANDUM FOR TOWN COUNCIL MEETING

To: Mayor & Town Council From: Timothy J. Barth, Town Manager Re: Consideration of amending Ordinance 30 – Officials and Employees Date: February 19, 2015 Background This ordinance in the Town Code does not quite match how Town Board meetings are currently handled. The amendment is designed to reflect how meetings are handled now. There are three changes in the amendment:

1. The first change is to change the meeting time to 6:00 p.m. The ordinance presently shows the Town Council meeting beginning at 7:00 p.m.

2. The second change is to reflect that public comment occurs only one time during the Town Board meeting. The ordinance reflected that there were two times for public comment during the meeting. The Mayor is still allowed to recognize persons from the audience if they wish to speak on a certain item.

3. The third change is including that the Town Attorney is appointed to an indefinite term. The current ordinance has the Town Attorney being appointed or re-appointed after every municipal election.

A copy of the amendment is attached that reflects the above mentioned changes. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.

To: Mayor & Town Council From: Timothy J. Barth, Town Manager Re: Consideration of Additional Street Lighting on North peak between E. Mills Street and the Methodist Church Date: February 19, 2015 Background At the January 8 Town Council meeting there was discussion about the lighting at the intersection of E. Mills Street and Peak Street. It was decided that the street lighting at the intersection was good, but that the Town Council wanted to know about N. Peak between E. Mills Street and the Methodist Church. There is lighting near the intersection and then the next street light is right in front of the Methodist Church. There are two possible poles where a light could possibly be added. I will try to confirm before the meeting what the cost would be to add a street light to one of the poles. Also, I will try to get some night pictures of what that stretch of road looks like at night. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.

February 19, 2015 Town Manager’s Report Prepared for Columbus Town Council

Friday February 13, 2015

1) Potential Police Department Expansion: The Chief of Police and I met with two representatives from USDA on the potential police department expansion. They believe they will be able to help the Town with this project. The next step is for the Town to submit a pre-application that will be reviewed and then a full application will follow that. The Town has to go through this process to see if the Town will qualify for any grant funding for the project.

2) Christmas Decorations: The Discover Columbus Committee has met and wants to help the Town in deciding on possible additional Christmas decorations. They are planning to meet on Monday, February 23 at 1:00 p.m. here at the Town Hall to review the comments received from the community. Anyone who wants to help with this effort is encouraged to come and give your input. The plan is to make a recommendation for the Town Council to consider including in the budget for next year.

3) Fabulous Fourth Committee: The Fabulous Fourth Committee had a meeting on February 9 and are planning to have their next meeting on February 23. Anyone interested in helping plan activities for the Fabulous Fourth celebration is encouraged to attend.

4) Budget Retreat Workshop: Do not forget the Budget Retreat workshop scheduled for Saturday, February 28 beginning at 9:00 a.m. here at the Town Hall. I will send out some very brief materials a few days before the retreat.

5) Merchant Meeting: There is a merchant’s meeting scheduled for Tuesday, February 17 at 5:00 p.m. here at Town Hall. The primary purpose of the meeting is for the merchants to hear Robert Williamson explain the potential impact of the Tryon International Equestrian Center. Also, there may be some discussion about reforming a merchants association in Columbus.
