Solid waste and environmental staff described the settlement with NCDOT: the county will receive $375,000 and be given a 24-acre DOT-owned tract at the intersection of Parkton and Berson Roads to develop a replacement container site for the Camden Road convenience center. Amanda Lee, environmental director, told the board the county and DOT had discussed acceptable alternative sites and identified the DOT tract for development.

The board also approved several purchases and contracts that were included in the FY 2025 budget and funded in part by grants. The board approved purchasing a fuel truck for the solid waste department for $228,311; Amanda Lee said most of that purchase will be paid with a Volkswagen Phase 2 settlement grant and that a condition of the grant requires the existing fuel truck be salvaged or destroyed. The board authorized the chairman to execute the preaudited, legally sufficient contract. The purchase vote was recorded as unanimous.

The board approved a $250,000 service agreement with Smith Gardner, Inc., to complete design services for the Anne Street landfill transfer station and authorized the chairman to execute the contract. The board also approved the purchase of a yard spotter for $141,481.40 to aid trailer handling in the county’s material-moving operations. Both approvals were unanimous.

Separately, the board approved restructuring its advisory committees: splitting the finance and audit functions into separate finance and audit committees (the finance committee to absorb the ARP committee), adding a policy committee to review and recommend policy positions, renaming the Homeless Support Center Committee to the Unhoused Support Center Committee, and creating an infrastructure committee focusing on water, broadband, sewer and roads (absorbing the Grays Creek and countywide water committee). The committee changes were approved unanimously.

Vice Chairwoman Jones presented a proclamation for the Cumberland County affiliate of NAMI to recognize volunteers and partners at the group’s \"Heroes for Mental Health\" event; the board approved the proclamation effective Dec. 10, 2024.

Most of the consent items were moved and approved without extended debate. The board then moved to monthly reports and adjourned.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of Commissioners Agenda Session - December 10, 2024","oneSentenceSummary","At its Dec. 10 meeting, the Cumberland County Board of Commissioners approved a $375,000 settlement and acceptance of a 24-acre DOT tract to relocate a Camden Road convenience center, authorized purchases and contracts (approximately $620,000 total), approved committee restructuring and issued a proclamation for NAMI; most votes were unanimous.","taxTitle","Cumberland County, North Carolina","taxId",3861,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6677953,"Cumberland County directs manager to study deep-water wells for Grays Creek schools",332,1042180,1374720,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2171623-deb6565859d95c906a261b9091a7106c&start=1042&end=1374","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2171623-deb6565859d95c906a261b9091a7106c/thumbnail_1042180.jpg","/articles/6677953/Cumberland-County/North-Carolina/Cumberland-County-directs-manager-to-study-deep-water-wells-for-Grays-Creek-schools","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6677953-1b4d07dadab2bbffb577f1149e13bdbd/orig.mp4?Expires=1771169793&Signature=LpXYsp2oLw61yc1HXI6MRAtgXbtpnODfjp4WA04LuGCOBiNtPDs2U6sjCdOq4RDwvO3Npovqs2RoObky27UY1RHxRraJPwyhJQ9abr8FLtgTI98CPdinC-cXdum9hKuJJQuKmVsjhXtgbOeCn5DFhTEQTxm-u8e5iRTC63Mdo7pjYDw9M9-Gx-YfR3DwSg2CggOZe7~B2gbBim2nIq8shIsr4eSd8psCu3ZX5BgFJf1W0hVeUpuP8LeAvHYceXYODrWWJkIrGWil1dgrvJLwECngg2~8G~RVFx0TdcqKrVjTOLZzFUAy-rp9mIAD3PNFgWD1Yiql0E5bjKzqtCIcpg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Cumberland County Board of Commissioners on Dec. 10 voted unanimously to direct the county manager to study installing deep-water wells at Grays Creek Elementary and Alderman Road Elementary and to return estimates of total cost and a timeline to the board at the January 2025 agenda session.

Commissioner Patel moved the directive, asking the manager to “revisit the deepwater well infrastructure at Grays Creek Elementary and Alderman Road Elementary specifically to see what the total cost for those 2 wells would be and the timeline.” The motion was seconded and carried unanimously.

The request grew from commissioner concern that the timetable for Cumberland County Public Works Commission (PWC) to run bulk water lines to the schools may take longer than acceptable. “The concern is the amount of time it's going to take for PWC to get the water to those schools and the timetable that has been quoted as unacceptable,” Commissioner Tyson said. Tyson said the board is seeking a possible temporary solution to get clean water to students sooner.

Vice Chairwoman Jones said she supports pursuing both options in parallel: pursuing PWC connections while exploring county-managed deep wells. “There's no reason why we can't do both,” she said.

Commissioner Adams asked for clarification about the difference between PWC’s planned water line work and a county-installed deep well system; commissioners and staff clarified the motion is to investigate deep wells to service the schools in parallel with the PWC work, not to cancel the PWC plan.

The county manager was directed to return a report that includes total cost estimates, timelines and any impacts or constraints at the board’s second agenda session in January 2025.","The Cumberland County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously Dec. 10 to direct the county manager to assess costs and timelines for installing deep-water wells at Grays Creek Elementary and Alderman Road Elementary and report back at a January 2025 agenda session.","actionData","errors"]
