of the permitting process, the NCDOT required right and left turn lanes at the Eastside Drive
construction site. He said the social services building would share the same entrance area and
traffic signal that would be used by the patrons of the new cinema being built by Folger
Properties, LLC. Vernon said the cinema construction would begin this summer, far in advance
of the social services building, but the NCDOT was requesting a letter of commitment from the
county. He requested authorization to send a letter to this effect to the local transportation office.
10. Request for Approval of an Increased Investment Management Proposal with First
Citizens Bank: Finance Director Blumenstein, at the briefing session, said the board had
approved a $5,000,001.00 investment management service agreement with First Citizens in
September of 2002. She requested permission to increase the 5 million to 11 million for the
purpose of transferring $3.2 million, currently in the North Carolina Capital Management Trust
(NCCMT) Landfill Closure Account to First Citizens. Mrs. Blumenstein said First Citizens had
an earning yield of .5% more than the NCCMT, and this was the reason behind the request. She
said the landfill account would remain separate from the general county funds. In addition, she
said the $11 million would allow her to increase the investment for the general county funds as
the cash flow permitted.
