CLOSED SESSION
Mayor Joe Phelps opened the Closed Session.
A. Closed Session to Discuss two (2) Legal Matters
1. Finance Director Sherry Carter presented a delinquent Food and Beverage Tax issue with
Bradiggins Arts and Crafts. She explained that Ms. Liggins is Delinquent for November and
December of2002. Since Ms. Liggins has not turned in any reports, the Town has no way of
knowing how much tax is owed. There are also delinquent fees and taxes owed on the King
Street Coffee Shop, which her husband owned.
By consensus, the Board directed the Town Attorney to investigate the possibility of making it
hard for them to open another business in Town until these fines were paid.
By consensus, the Board agreed to drop this issue.
2. Town Manager Peterson updated the Board on the tree that the Town had removed from
the right of way in error during the Dangerous Tree Assessment.
Manager Peterson informed the Board that the Town received a quote from Mr. Scott today for
$31,500 for the tree. He also provided the Board with photos of the tree at the time of the
Dangerous Tree Assessment and after the tree was removed. Peterson stated that the
information has been turned over to the Town's insurance company.
Upon a motion by Commissioner Lloyd, seconded by Commissioner Dancy, the Board moved
toT to ;i:;~ of 4-0. The motion was declared passed.
