Request for Art Installation on the Middle Fork Greenway
Mr. Joe Furman, Director of Economic Development with the Boone Area Chamber of Commerce, requested authorization to place art work on the Middle Fork Greenway. Grant funds would be used to pay for the art work bases. The plan was to construct pads for the sculptures and rotate works from local artists on the pads. All items would be for the viewing of the general public, and would be appropriate for all ages. The primary areas of interest for the placement were the new trailhead on Highway 321 (the one with the two bridges), and the "Sterling Creek Park" across the highway from Mystery Hill.
Ms. Amber Bateman, Watauga Arts Council Director, stated that the Arts Council had already been working with the Blue Ridge Conservancy to bring a presence to entrances of Middle Fork Greenway areas with the Boone Gorge Park being a central part of the project.
The art installation project would be funded through the $5,000 grant at no costs to the County.
Commissioner Russell, seconded by Vice-Chairman Wallin, moved to approve the placement of the art bases for the project as presented.
VOTE: Aye-5
Nay-0
Solar Lease
Mr. Ged Moody, Watauga Solar, requested approval for an amended and restated lease for PEAK Solarworks for the property at the capped landfill. The lease was essentially the exact same amended and restated lease that the County agreed to in 2019 with Encore Solar. Mr. Moody requested the lease be transferred from Encore Solar back to Watauga Solar and then transferred from Watauga Solar to PEAK Solarworks and approve the amended and restated lease for an additional twenty-five years. Mr. Moody stated that he wanted to see solar on the site and there were provisions in the agreement for non-performance. The delays with Encore were largely due to significant headwinds in the market during and after the pandemic. Once solar was established, it would be sold to Blue Ridge Energy. Mr. Moody did not know if that would result in price breaks for Blue Ridge Energy customers. The project was expected to begin this month with construction to begin in the next six to twelve months due to environmental due diligence.
County Attorney Capua stated that the term of the lease would need to remain for the twenty-five-year term with the beginning date of June 2019, as that was the maximum amount of time allowed under the General Statutes. Ms. Capua stated that back rent would need to be paid prior to signing a new agreement as well. Mr. Moody and PEAK representatives stated that the term continuing from 2019 was agreeable. Mr. Moody stated that he had a cashier check with him to pay the back rent in full.
County Attorney Capua stated that her office would work with Mr. Moody and PEAK Solarworks to prepare a lease for signature with the amended terms included.
Vice-Chairman Wallin, seconded by Commissioner Russell, moved to approve transfer of the lease from Encore Solar back to Watauga Solar with the term of the lease remaining as specified in the June 7, 2019, lease.
VOTE: Aye-5
Nay-0
Commissioner Russell, seconded by Vice-Chairman Wallin, moved to assign the lease from Watauga Solar to PEAK Solarworks and directed the County Attorney to prepare the assignment of lease with the term remaining as specified in the June 7, 2019, lease.
VOTE: Aye-5
Nay-0
For clarity, County Attorney Capua requested another motion.
Vice-Chairman Wallin, seconded by Commissioner Russell, moved to approve the assignment of the restated lease and modifications from Watauga Solar to PEAK Solarworks with the original term in the June 7, 2019, lease to remain as is contingent upon the County receiving back rent payments from Encore which were past due.
