Public Hearing from October 2, 2007 to November 6, 2007: Planning & Development
Director Ron Smith said the Penske attorneys had requested additional time to address the
concerns of the neighbors in the area where the racing test track was proposed.
Due to this case being quasi-judicial, and the board members not being allowed to
converse with the public or the applicant, Commissioner Robertson asked Smith to relay the
following requests to the Penske officials: (1) Provide information, at the hearing, on the
cumulative effect of noise. (Robertson said OSHA had information regarding this.) (2) Provide
information, at the hearing, on how sound/noise decreases with distance.

COUNTY MANAGER'S REPORT
County Manager Mashburn reported on the following:
► ELECTIONS LEGISLATION: The North Carolina Association of County Commissioners
advises that legislation is being proposed to "revamp" elections standards. Mashburn said the
county recently paid out $200,000 to come into compliance with the HAVA Act, and while there
was some federal monetary assistance, none was being proposed for the new standards. He
mentioned it might be helpful to send a letter in opposition to the new legislation (H.R. 811) to the
county's federal legislative delegates.
► MINI -RETREAT: Mashburn recommended that another retreat be held for the purpose of
discussing facility needs (schools, jail and EMS). A county facility could be used for the retreat
location, and Thursday, December 6, 2007 was offered as a possible date.
