1.Call Meeting to Order.
Mayor Muir called the meeting to order.
2. Review and Discuss NCTCOG Interlocal Marketing Agreement With Utility Service Partners
Private Label, Inc., d/b/a Service Line Warranties of America ("SWLA") for a Service Line
Protection Program.
Brian Davis was present and explained the agreement. Since the homeowners are responsible
for the maintenance and repair of the water and sewer lines that run from the main meter to
their home, repairs can be costly. This water line warranty will protect them from any
repairs needed on the outside, buried water line for a small monthly fee. The company also
takes care of the billing process. There is no cost to the City, we just provide our City logo
and signature line of the Mayor or City Manager. This warranty pays up to $4,000 per
occurrence.
The City has the option to receive 12% of the revenues received or allow for a 12% discount
to be passed on to the homeowners.
3.Review and Discuss Historic Preservation District.
Joe Iliff gave the City Council an update on the Historic Preservation Commission.
4.Overview of Budget to Date.

City Manager advised that the ethics policy is for employees only at this time. Policies for the
Council and other Boards will be done at a later time.
