for the Register of Deeds' Office: At the briefing session, Assistant Register of Deeds
Kay Mills explained that an update to the records retention and disposition schedule had
been received from the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources. Mrs. Mills

2. Call for a Public Hearing on November 4, 2003 at 7:00 p.m., Pertaining to
the Community Transportation Program (CTP) Application for FY 2004-05 (See
briefing minutes for additional information regarding this matter.)
3. Request for a Discussion and Possible Amendment to the Transportation
Improvement Program (TIP) Priority List: Planning Supervisor Smith said during
the briefing that on August 5, 2003, the TIP priority list was approved by the board. He
said the number two priority was the Brawley School Road/1-77 Interchange
(Mooresville). Smith said that recently he learned the federal government might try to
"block" the interchange due to its close proximity of Exit 36 (within one mile). Mr.
Smith said that if the interchange were omitted, he didn't think it would delay the
project, but it might pose some long-term effects on the area's traffic flow. Smith
continued by saying the primary route for accessing 1-77 from Brawley School Road
was by the Williamson Road. He said the proposed interchange would provide a more
direct access to the interstate, and it would bypass Williamson Road. He said, however,
if the federal government eliminated the interchange, it would be "crucial" to have
Williamson Road widened. Smith recommended that Williamson Road be widened if
the proposed interchange were not approved.
The priority list will now be as follows:
