G. CITIZEN REMARKS & PRESENTATIONS 1. 9:15 am – American Pipeline Informational Presentation

______14 L.C. September 3, 2019

Ms. Karen Rugard and Mr. Mark Clayton represented Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. Ms. Rugard restated their purpose is to connect 2 pipelines that would take crude oil from Cushing, OK to the Gulf Coast. She noted they are still in the design phase and the work that is currently going on is to gain property survey access to see if a route if feasible and offer an opportunity to talk with landowners. She stated Mr. Clayton and his colleagues have been asking landowners for survey access for the past couple of months. Ms. Rugard stressed this did not mean where they are surveying would be the route; it just answers questions about if it is a feasible route. She said once they nail down the route; they will come back to the Board to present it and they hoped to have community open houses to talk with the people. She noted route maps are highly preliminary and will shift. Mr. Clayton stated every route starts at the desk of an engineer; and they have to get boots on the ground to determine the best route. He stated most of the time they are going on a line of sight. Ms. Rugard stated she did have some answers to questions that the Board had when they were last here: 1. Future pipeline relocation payment – If widening of a road is within the existing County ROW, Plains would pay the larger portion of relocation of their lines. If the County widens the road beyond the existing ROW, the proportion would shift. She stated they will work with the Road Manager; and they will bore under most road crossings. 2. How much land – about 29 miles. This may shift as the route shifts. 3. How far from homes – Federal regulations say how far a pipeline has to be from habitable structure and depth is considered. Ms. Rugard stated they bury at least 4 feet underground, which is deeper than required. She said permanent easements are typically 50 feet wide; 25 feet per side. She stated they did not want the pipeline to be noticed in everyday life. Supervisor Russell asked if a driveway could cross the pipeline. Mr. Clayton said it was not a problem; but they typically had a driveway to cross at 45 degrees and not along the top of the pipeline. Supervisor Medlin asked if Plains had gotten together with Entergy to see if they can use the same easement. Ms. Rugard said they are still in discussion with them. Supervisor Medlin asked why Plains did not get with the County‟s GIS department and get the names of people along the route. Ms. Rugard stated they go out and take a look before getting people together. She stated not being able to cross a property could change the route by several miles and they wanted to get the right people in the room after they determine the route. Supervisor Medlin said people were hesitant about people coming up to their door with no badge or marked vehicle. Supervisor Russell asked if Plains had eminent domain authority. Ms. Rugard stated they do have that authority; but they prefer not to use it. She stated they want to have a positive relationship with the property owners as they are the first line of defense for not damaging pipelines. She stated Plains wants to do right by the homeowners. Supervisor Caldwell said the homeowners did want someone to be properly identified. She asked if there was any liability to the property owner if a Plains person was hurt on their property. Mr. Clayton said there was no liability. Supervisor Caldwell asked if the pipeline would affect property value. Ms. Rugard said she did not think she had seen statistics on that, but she would look into it. Supervisor Caldwell said if a property was cut in half if it would affect subdividing. Supervisor Gardner said if subdividing was impacted, it would affect the property value. Supervisor Gardner asked if Plains had a terminus in Marshall County. Ms. Rugard stated one line currently terminated in Memphis on the west end of the line. She stated on the east end is an existing pipeline in Marshall County. Supervisor Medlin asked if Plains had to buy from a wetland bank when going on wetlands. Ms. Rugard stated they do and they are currently governed by a Corps of Engineers‟ permit; and they are currently in conversation with them. She stated their route may have to shift to address any concerns the Corps has. Ms. Rugard stated, in regard to Miller Farms, they have already made a determination they will not be crossing that area; and will be looking at wetlands south and west of that subdivision. Supervisor Lee asked if any pipelines would be above ground. Ms. Rugard stated the following will be above ground:

______15 L.C. September 3, 2019

 Pipeline markers with emergency information  Cathotic Protections (protects steel from corrosion by means of a small electric current). She noted these look like candy canes above ground  Pumps and Valves – She stated they would purchase that piece of property outright and it would be fenced and screened as necessary to be a good neighbor. She stated they will preserve the ability to access these sites and will try to put them in areas that are already accessible. Supervisor Lee asked about explosive dangers and leaking. Ms. Rugard stated crude oil is not explosive and safety is their top priority. She stated the pipelines are managed nonstop by satellite readings on pressure and flow rate systems that allow them to see if something is off. She noted they also have shutdown authority. Ms. Rugard stated Plains works closely with first responders and adjacent neighbors to know what to watch for. She stated they are committed to safe and reliable construction and want to be active in the community where they operate. She stated they offer a grant program that typically helps first responders. She said purchasing SCBA‟s is typical of a grant they would do. Supervisor Lee asked if there were any plans to tie into this system and go in a different direction or if another provider could come in and go off of it. Ms. Rugard stated Plains is the designer, owner, and will construct this connection. She said she thought it would be unlikely for an additional transmission pipeline to come in. Supervisor Lee asked the diameter of the pipe. Ms. Rugard stated they are looking at between 20 inches and 24 inches. Supervisor Caldwell asked if animals would be safe with the cathotic protectors since they have an electrical current. Ms. Rugard stated they are safe and not at a voltage that would hurt anyone. She also noted you have to have specialized equipment to access the instruments. She stated there would not be restrictions of farming or ranching. Supervisor Medlin asked if any communities had green space or walking trails over pipelines. Ms. Rugard stated their easement is required to be clear of trees. She stated that lots of subdivisions in Houston have pipeline and wise developers turned them into hike & bike trails. She stated that lots adjacent to them are going at a premium price. Mr. Swims asked if they would parallel roads. Ms. Rugard stated it is easier for them to do that. Mr. Swims asked if there was a road widening project planned if Plains would be willing to talk. Ms. Rugard said they would be happy to work with the County and plan ahead. Comments from the Public: Thomas Plunkett, 2755 Gwynn Road, Nesbit - Mr. Plunkett said he had not heard anything about this until someone came and wanted him to sign for them to survey his property. He stated he wanted to be better informed. He also said he wanted to hear more about the environmental effect. Bryan Wiersma, 12901 Miller Farms Road, Olive Branch – Mr. Wiersma said he was glad to hear the route will go around Miller Farms. He asked if the easement contract had a „hold no harm‟ clause. Mr. Clayton stated there is an indemnity clause that covers that. Mr. Wiersma stated there were 2 spills recently in CA and IL and Plains was found negligent. Mr. Wiersma stated he was concerned about losing trees. He said they were told the easement was 50 feet on each side. Ms. Rugard stated the construction easement is 50 feet per side and then it goes down to 25 feet per side for the permanent easement. She stated the two incidents were unfortunate; and Plains was not proud of them, but they did learn from them. She stated those areas were returned to their previous condition or better. Supervisor Lee asked if they would be willing to bond in case of pipeline damage or leakage. Ms. Rugard said she did not know about that. Doyle Ratliff, 1901 Star Landing West, Nesbit – Mr. Ratliff stated he asked them to go to the end of his 50-acre property rather than across it. He stated his land is pasture land and wanted to know how Plains would get across his fences. Ms. Rugard stated their expectation is that their workers will treat others‟ land as if it was their own. She said it would not be acceptable otherwise, and she would encourage the homeowners to contact her. Mr. Ratliff asked if they could shift to the back of his property. Ms. Rugard said it depends on the adjacent properties. She stated they have to balance the needs of all property owners and weigh how it would impact neighbors.

______16 L.C. September 3, 2019

The Board encouraged Ms. Rugard to send a letter letting people know someone would be coming to their property. They also offered to put news releases on the County‟s website and social media; and offered to get names, addresses, and potential meeting places. Ms. Rugard again said they usually have a meeting after the route is established. Supervisor Gardner asked Plains to consider running a conduit that would allow fiber for high speed internet to be pulled through along the pipeline. He stated partnering with internet providers would allow for many rural areas to get that service. Mr. Scott Young stated the most frustrating part is public relations. He stated the field guys did not know specifics and he wanted Plains to explain to people what they were doing, be direct, and try to answer questions. He stated the map they received was pretty vague especially with today‟s technology. Ms. Rugard stated they will provide a better map when the route is properly vetted. Supervisor Caldwell stated she understood they wanted to be careful because they were not sure of the route; but there is a certain balance there. She thanked everyone for coming. Mr. Young stated Plains wanted access to the County‟s property at the Road Department and a signature for access to survey. Supervisor Russell asked if Plains could go all along the County‟s property line and help out the landowner next door by not cutting his property in half. Mr. Clayton stated they were trying to avoid the creek, but they would look at that route. Supervisor Bill Russell made the motion and Supervisor Lee Caldwell seconded the motion to approve Plains to survey the County property and authorize the Board President to sign the approval. The motion passed by a vote as follows: Supervisor Jessie Medlin, First District YES Supervisor Mark Gardner, Second District YES Supervisor Bill Russell, Third District YES Supervisor Lee Caldwell, Fourth District YES Supervisor Michael Lee, Fifth District YES

See Exhibit G.1.

2. Waste Pro Report Mr. Jennings was not able to travel after an accident he had. Later in the meeting: Mr. Roland Joyner came to introduce Mr. Darrius Jones who is Waste Pro‟s Regional Manager. He stated Mr. Jones will be helping out in this division until a new Division Officer is hired for the Southaven Office. Mr. Joyner said that Mr. Jones and Mr. Josh Vickery will be the ones to go through until further notice, although Mr. Jerry Autrey will still be the primary contact. Supervisor Gardner said he was sure Mr. Joyner and Mr. Vickery were aware that this Board has been bombarded with complaints; and he said the Board would rather hear from Waste Pro than the other way around. Mr. Joyner stated they had all new trucks 2.5 years ago, and now they are having trucks go down. He stated he just hired a new maintenance manager and a new mechanic. 3. EMA – Firehouse Subs Public Safety Grant Grant Administrator Bryan Riley stated they received the Firehouse Subs grant and purchased body armor for EMA. Mr. Riley stated this equipment will allow them to go into a situation with police to begin taking care of victims. Mark Foster said there was a Level 3 rating on the helmet and Level 4 rating on the vest. He stated they got 4 sets of body armor for just over $5,000. 4. Barry Bridgforth Mr. Bridgforth stated he started Southern Belle Subdivision, located at Chamberlin and Laughter, on August 5, 2018 and just received his approval for (SWPPP) Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. He said the regulations are choking the developers. Mr. Bridgforth said the Health Department came and approved the development verbally; but it took them 5 months to get a letter from them to send to MDEQ for his SWPPP. He said MDEQ had called to see why they were not moving on the development. Mr. Bridgforth said it took a call from a senator to the Health Department to get things moving.

Discussion: Board Attorney Tony Nowak stated that Item H.4.a. needed the term of payment changed to 45 days according to the law.

Supervisor Medlin asked why there was not a beginning amount in concrete and a budget amendment for $24,000. Mr. Swims stated that is concrete for NRCS projects. Mrs. Lynchard stated as a project develops the funds are moved to different line items from the NRCS project line.

Mrs. Lynchard reminded the Board that the Monthly Health Claims report was added as well.

Supervisor Bill Russell made the motion and Supervisor Lee Caldwell seconded the motion to approve the actions and matters presented in the Consent Agenda including adding the Monthly Health Claims Report and Item H.4.a. amendment for the time for payment as recommend by Mr. Nowak.

The motion passed by a vote as follows: Supervisor Jessie Medlin, First District YES Supervisor Mark Gardner, Second District YES Supervisor Bill Russell, Third District YES Supervisor Lee Caldwell, Fourth District YES Supervisor Michael Lee, Fifth District YES

See Exhibit H.

I. OLD BUSINESS

1. National Guard Armory – Request for County to Pay Electric Bill Until Armory is Built Supervisor Caldwell stated the Board had discussed paying for electricity at the temporary parking lot the Armory is building. Mrs. Lynchard stated Mr. Jarman said the bill would probably be about $60 per month. Mr. Nowak stated the agreement from the National Guard

______23 L.C. September 3, 2019

actually stated electric, sewer, water and trash. Supervisor Caldwell stated the only service that will be there is electric; so that needed to be changed. Supervisor Lee Caldwell made the motion and Supervisor Mark Gardner seconded the motion to pay the electric bill at the National Guard Armory location on Star Landing to service the temporary parking lot; and authorize the Board President to sign the agreement with the changes suggested by Mr. Nowak. The motion passed by a vote as follows: Supervisor Jessie Medlin, First District YES Supervisor Mark Gardner, Second District YES Supervisor Bill Russell, Third District YES Supervisor Lee Caldwell, Fourth District YES Supervisor Michael Lee, Fifth District YES

.

2. At-Large Port Commission Appointment

The Board held this item over until the next regularly scheduled meeting.

See Exhibit I.2.

3. Cockrum Schoolhouse

Mrs. Lynchard stated some Board members have gone to see the Cockrum Schoolhouse. Mr. Nowak stated in order for the Board to provide any funding to the project, it would require Local and Private Legislation. Supervisor Medlin said he might be for that option.

Supervisor Caldwell reminded the Board that the cost would probably be $500,000 just to get the building usable at all; and she was hesitant to spend a lot of taxpayer money on it. Facilities Manager Robert Jarman said the architect is inquiring about the Board‟s decision. He stated the Cockrum Schoolhouse Board used all their grant money they got just to keep the building from falling down. He stated if they got a $300,000 grant this year, it might be enough for the roof structure.

Supervisor Russell said he agreed that it seemed to be a lot of money to spend. Supervisor Caldwell also noted that the bathrooms that were added would have to be torn off according to the MS Department of Archives and History (MDAH). She said she is all for restoring old buildings, but this one might be in too much disrepair.

Supervisor Lee said he is not for a „band-aid‟ fix. Mr. Jarman stated it is a very large building. Supervisor Medlin and Supervisor Gardner said they would go look at the building with Mr. Jarman.

Supervisor Medlin thanked the Board for their support in fixing up the old Ingram‟s Mill Schoolhouse. He stated the people that came to vote there were very pleased with the results and he noted that the original blackboards are still hanging on the walls. He stated it was a different situation than Cockrum as it was in pretty good shape, yet very historic.

4. Authorize Attorney to Continue Representing County for Barlow Heights Appeal on September 16, 2019

Mrs. Lynchard reminded the Board that Mr. Nowak recused himself from this item previously and Mr. Jody Neyman represented the County. Planning Director Bennie Hopkins stated this is not an appeal, that the developer resubmitted his application.

Supervisor Lee stated the developer has cut 2 lots and now has 10, 2-acre lots. Mr. Hopkins stated it is a totally different submission; and he noted the developer did have his attorney with him at the Planning Commission meeting. He noted the Planning Commission did approve this application.

______24 L.C. September 3, 2019

Supervisor Lee stated part of the question was if sewer service was available; but he noted the developer does have a permit from the Health Department.

Supervisor Michael Lee made the motion and Supervisor Jessie Medlin seconded the motion to authorize Mr. Jody Neyman to represent the Board on this matter on September 16, 2019.

The motion passed by a vote as follows: Supervisor Jessie Medlin, First District YES Supervisor Mark Gardner, Second District YES Supervisor Bill Russell, Third District YES Supervisor Lee Caldwell, Fourth District YES Supervisor Michael Lee, Fifth District YES
