Name: Cindy Brady, John Kemper
Department: DSS
Event Title: Site Visit/Technical Assistance - Knoxville Family Justice Center
Location: Knoxville, TN
Date: September 3-5, 2014
Required for certification: Yes No
If “No”, please provide justification.
The Family Justice Center (FJC) has been open for a little over four years. During that time, our leaders have
instituted a Volunteer Court Navigator Program, Electronic Protective Order System and added three additional
services. According to the FJC model, the next advancement for our Center is to coordinate victim services in a
manner that is victim-centered versus agency-centered. With the exception of one person, no one currently
housed at the FJC has been exposed to or toured other Family Justice Center models in order to determine how
best to achieve this. The Family Justice Center in Knoxville, Tennessee is a drivable distance, has been in
operation since 2006 and was the Center that stakeholders agreed would be the appropriate model to replicate in
our community.
Is this training offered in North Carolina? Yes No
If “Yes”, why attend out of state?

County. Mr. Joo indicated that his company has other offers and options but believes Alamance County is the best option for his company. He said that phase 1 of the project would be to spend $7.1 million in buildings and machines and then expand from there.Commissioner Massey seconded by Vice Chair Lashley moved to open the public hearing. The motion carried.
The following speakers were heard from the floor:1) Eddie Shoe said he had noticed a trend with companies asking for incentives with less than 50 jobs, and he wants the county to make sure these companies are not subsidizing employee benefits.2) Tony Cox referred to Mr. Shoe's comments about needing more information on the companies requesting incentives. He also said he contacted Mr. Williams about attending a chamber board meeting and was told that those meetings were not open to the public. Mr. Cox said as a taxpayer he believes he subsidizes the chamber and does not know why the public is not allowed to attend the meetings.Mr. Williams clarified that CS Carolina was adding 22 new jobs in addition to the 28 employees that they currently have so this is basically "retention and expansion" at the same time. He said the company was right at 50 employees and were already paying the insurance.Commissioner Sutton asked about the average salary. County Manager Honeycutt responded that the average wage in the agreement was $35,100. No other speakers wish to be heard from the floor.Vice Chair Lashley seconded by Commissioner Paisley moved to close the public hearing. The motion carried.

He reiterated that the information is available to the public and that the board was not trying to keep any information from the public. Commissioner Paisley asked about the annual taxes that the company would be paying based on the $7.1 million. County Manager Honeycutt said it would be around $37,630 per year. Commissioner Sutton said that they would have paid it all with out the incentives and it is a gamble that they would not have come without them. He said that he was going to vote no because these were cash incentives. He spoke that he supported giving incentives for infrastructure but opposes cash incentives. Commissioner Sutton explained that his father was in the textile industry and that he was raised on textile money and does not oppose the textile business just the cash incentives.

Commissioner Paisley said he serves on 6 different committees and one of his committees is the Recreation & Parks Commission. He said that Mr. Hagood has been acting in 2 full-time jobs and that he has done a wonderful job. Commissioner Paisley noted that Brian Baker has been doing a wonderful job as the Haw River Trails Coordinator and he took on additional supervisory duties. He noted that Mr. Baker has brought in over $2.3 million in grant funds. Commissioner Paisley advised that the Recreation Department was in need of a full-time Recreation & Parks Director and the county was in need of a full-time Assistant County Manager.Commissioner Paisley, seconded by Vice Chair Lashley moved to make Bryan Hagood the full-time Assistant County Manager and request the county manager reorganize the Recreation & Parks Department in order to fill the Recreation & Parks Director position. Commissioner Sutton said that he would like to discuss this matter. Commissioner Sutton voiced several objections. He stated that it was nothing against Mr. Hagood but the county was only 3 weeks into the new budget fiscal year. He asked was this a unanimous vote by the Recreation & Park Commission. Commissioner Paisley answered that it was a unanimous decision by the Recreation & Parks Commission. Commissioner Sutton provided that he was under the opinion that when Mr. Hagood took the position it was an effort to combine the position and job duties to save some money. Commissioner Sutton indicated that he does not believe Mr. Hagood to be under paid and believes his duties have been handled well. Commissioner Sutton also mentioned that this was not a county recommendation by staff. Commissioner Sutton reiterated that his biggest complaint was this issue coming 3 weeks into the new budget. He said that he will vote no. Commissioner Paisley said that he spoke to both County Manager Honeycutt and Mr. Hagood and they were both supportive of this motion. Commissioner Paisley said that is obligated to do what is best for this county and part of that is parks and recreation and the assistant county manager position.The motion carried 4-1 to make Bryan Hagood the full-time Assistant County Manager and the County Manager would reorganize the recreation & parks department to allow for a full-time director. Chairman Smith, Vice Chair Lashley, Commissioners Massey and Paisley voted in favor. Commissioner Sutton opposed the motion.
Chairman Smith addressed the issue of the citizen complaints about the fire departments. He continued that the county manager was asked to look into the matter. Chairman Smith explained that he spoke with some of the fire department folks including the former fire marshal. He said that he had been assured that the same appeal process and complaint process is already in effect in fire departments. Chairman Smith stated that he feels that the board does not need to get involved in the fire departments and that they do an excellent job. He suggested the issue be dropped. Chairman Smith seconded by Commissioner Paisley moved that there would be no county involvement in fire department's internal processes. The motion carried 4-1 with Chairman Smith, Vice Chair Lashley, Commissioners Massey and Paisley voting in favor. Commissioner Sutton opposed the motion.
