NORTH CAROLINA LOCAL GOVERNMENT'S ADVISORY
RESOLUTION TO NORTH CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY
REGARDING MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
I WHEREAS, the North Carolina General Assembly has found that:
"Inefficient and improper methods of managing solid waste create
hazards to public health, cause pollution of air and water
resources, constitute a waste of natural resources, have an adverse
effect on land values, and create public nuisances. " NCGS l30A-
,
309.03.(a)(I), and that "Problems of solid waste management have
become a matter statewide in scope and necessitate State action to
assist local governments in improving methods and processes to
promote more efficient methods of solid waste collection and
disposal." NCGS l30A-309.03.(a)(2), and
WHEREAS, the General Assembly adopted the Solid Waste
Management Act of 1989 to "Regulate...collection, transport. . . and
disposal of solid waste in order to protect the public health,
safety, and welfare. ..for the people of this State. ..," NCGS 130A-
309.03.(b)(I), and to "Require counties and municipalities to
adequately plan and provide efficient, environmentally acceptable
solid waste management programs; and require counties to plan for
proper hazardous waste management," NCGS l30A-309. (b) (3), and
WHEREAS, the General Assembly requires "Each
county...shall...develop a comprehensive county solid waste
management plan...," NCGS l30A-309.04(e) , and
WHEREAS, such plans must reflect the State's "hierarchy of
methods of managing solid waste, in descending order of preference:
I 1. Waste volume reduction at the source;
.
2. Recycling and reuse;
3. Composting;
4. Incineration with energy production;
5. Incineration for volume reduction;
6. Disposal in landfills."
NCGS 130A-309. 04 (a) , and
WHEREAS, the validity and reliability of each such county
solid waste manag~ment plan is directly dependent upon a county's
ability to direct and control the flow of solid waste within its
designated area, and
WHEREAS, the abUi ty of counties and municipalities to
minimize the financial risks for both parties to private service
agreements is dependent upon the local government's ability to
direct and control the flow of solid waste within its service area,
and
WHEREAS, the General Assembly has required that "The governing
board of a designated local government shall provide for the
operation of solid waste disposal facilities to meet the needs of
all incorporated and unincorporated areas designated to be served
by the facility," NCGS 130A-309.09A(a), and
WHEREAS, the State requires the counties that own and/or
operate solid waste landfills must demonstrate financial assurance
I that ".. .must ensure that the funds necessary to meet the costs of
closure, post-closure care, and corrective action for known
releases will be available whenever they are needed." 15A NCAC
13B.1628(b) (1) (D) (e) (1), and
WHEREAS, the State encourages "Counties and municipalities
...to operate their solid waste management systems through the.use
of an enterprise fund." NCGS l30A-08 (b) , and
WHEREAS, the generation of revenues sufficient to operate
such State mandated disposal systems as enterprise funds is
directly dependent upon the use of such systems by the transporters
of solid waste, and
WHEREAS, local governments are fundamentally dependent on
their ability to control the flow of solid waste to market debt for
solid waste management facilities, and
476
,
WHEREAS, NCGS 130A-291(b) reflects a recognition by the
General Assembly that local governments are fundamentally dependent
on their ability to control the flow of solid waste facilities they
have planned, financed and operate pursuant to State mandate and,
provides for such flow control, now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, that HARNETT COUNTY strongly urges the
General Assembly to continue to provide for local government I
.
control of the flow of municipal solid waste and, be it
ru~THER RESOLVED, that HARNETT COUl::rrv strongly urges
the General Assembly to take action to communicate North Carolina's
desire for federal legislation authorizing local government control
of the flow of solid waste to the United States Congress and, be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, that HARNETT COUNTY strongly
urges the General Assembly to provide for alternative revenue
mechanisms for funding solid waste management programs.

Attachment 9. 1994-95 BUDGET MESSAGE
TO: THE HARNETT COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
H. L. Sorrell, Jr., Chairman
Beatrice B. Hill, Vice Chairman
Joseph T. Bowden
Walt Titchener I
Dan B. Andrews
The proposed Harnett County Budget for 1994-95 is hereby
submitted for review and consideration by the Board of Commissioners.
It is my belief this proposal provides the funding necessary to carry
out tha services provided by county government while also recognizing
the financial limitations placed upon us by current economic
conditions.
This document was developed following individual meetings with
each department head and after extensive review by staff. The
following budget message notes the budget highlights as they relate to
revenue and expenditures. Also, we have provided the Board with as
much support documentation as possible. Before beginning the budget
overview, I would like to thank Vanessa Young, Finance Director, and
Tony Wilder, Assistant County Manager, for their assistance in
developing this document. Also, I would like to thank members of the
finance and administrative staff who assisted in this effort.
Gener=-'\l Fund Revenue
~he 1994-95 budget once again reflects the limited revenues I
available to county governments. In regards to state and federal
reimbursements, the proposed budget is based on the assumption that we
will receive all our reimbursements and that no amounts will be
withheld by either the state or federal governments. In regards to
cash flow, it should be noted that our position is excellent due to
the county's past vigilance regarding maintaining a strong fund
balance. The following review highlights the status of the major
county revenue sources.
Ad Valorem Tax - The budget has been developed with a tax
collection rate of 96.42%. At a tax rate of $.70, it is
~rojected that current year property tax revenue will total
$13,311,000.
Sales Tax - This major source of revenue has increased
somewhat, but for budgetary purpose, we have estimated a
very conservative rate of growth. Keep in mind that 1.7 I
million dollars of this revenue source goes to public school
capital needs.
Fees - The budget proposed does include some proposed fee
increases, which are detailed in departmental budgets. Also,
t~e Public Utilities' Budget provides for increases whi~h are
c.;:tlined ir.. the s'.1pport doc'umentatlon provided. Fees f:Jr the
~'- ies Creek/Coats Water and Sewer District are of particular

concern and will need to be reviewed closely by the Board during 481
the budget process.
Fund Balance - This proposal contains an appropriation from
4-
the General Fund Balance totaling $1,100,000. While it is
our hope that this appropriation can be decreased by the
close of the 1994-95 budget year, to accomplish this I must
recommend that we appropriate no further funds from this
I source until some of those funds already appropriated can be
replaced.
Genexal Fund Exoenditures
While expenditures have grown somewhat, the bulk of this growth
is due to state and federal mandates as well as growth in the
southwestern portion of the county. In regards to programs, this
budget addresses the most critical needs of our community as we
continue to strive to improve services for the citizens of Harnett
County. Human Services and Education continue to be our highest
priorities.
Personnel - It is my belief that a county government can

only be effective i, it invests in its personnel.
funding has been provided for a 3% cost-of-living increase.
Also, funds are available within contingency to guarantee
each employee a pay increase of at least $500. Contingency
also contains funds which could be utilized to fund special
reclassifications or position requests. Also, ever increasing
I workloads require the creation of the following new positions:
Department ' Employee Salary
Tax Commercial Appraiser 22,157
Tax Lister (Hire January) 8,141
Register of Deeds Deputy Clerk 17,014
Public Buildings Maintenance/Custodial 15,600
Sheriff Deputy I/Patrol 19,416
Data Entry Clerk 14,910
Communications Telecommunicator I 18,716
Health Public Health Nurse II 26,422
Public Health Nurse II 26,422
Public Health Nurse I 24,195
Environmental Health Spec. 22,157
Medical Lab Technician II 22,000
Clerk III 14,910
Social Services SW II 22,157
1M Investigator II 21,203
IMCW II 19,416
Community Case Manager II 24,195
Alternatives
Library Professional Reference Librarian 24,195
Public Buildings - While funds have been appropriated to maintain
current structures, plans will also go forward to develop new
facilities for departments such as DSS and Health.
Sheriff/Communications - In addition to the new person~el
I provided for in these departments, this proposal also provides
, ~or new vehicles and an increase in medical care in the jail.
EMS - It is staffs' intent to continue studying ways to better
deliver emergency medical services in our county. These efforts
will require input from all those currently providing emergency
services, including rescue squads, county EMS, and the fire
departments. We will continue efforts to address problems
concerning level of care and daytime staffing in volunteer
agencies.

Department of Social Services - This department's budget
continues to grow at a fast pace due to eve~increasing public
assistance costs as well as personnel needs. The rate of this
growth is quite evident when we compare the appropriations for
this major line item in 93/94 versus 94/95:
93/94 94/95 I
Medicaid 1,580,028 1,935,945
AFDC 718,287 875,613
AA/AD 823,122 902,915
While funding for three employees has been provided for in the
budS-.at, as noted, contingency contains funds which might be
utilized if personnel needs become pressing and adequate office
space can be found to house additional employees.
Board of Education - As the largest direct appropriation in the
county budget, the public schools play an integral part in this
proposal. In the area of current expense, we have provided for a
5% increase. Capital Outlay also reflects the same rate of
growth. In other capital items, the proposed budget contains an
appropriation of $500,000 for capital construction and also
contains $1,700,000 in sales tax dollars for the capital program.
The ~otal appropriation to public education, including lia~son
offi~ers, would be $7,721,689.
Solid WaF~e Fund I
This enterprise fund has stabilized and become self-supporting in
regards to operating expense. It is our intent to place any revenue
above and beyond the operating cost into a capital revenue fund which
would be needed once the county 'is required to construct a Subtitle 0
Landfill Facility~
Public Utilities
This proposed budget provides the rate increases as outlin3d in
the schedule provided within the public utilities budget. The $.15 is
the first portion of the increase necessary to fund the water p:ant
expansi~T
In ,_.~ards to expenditures, we should point out that the b~dget
does ref:~ct th~ increased cost of new water quality regulations and
the start-up of East Central. Also, it should be noted that future
budgets must be proposed to address expansion plans relating to both
water and sewer services.
Conclusion
As noted, the proposed budget provides for the delivery of basic I
services while also reflecting limited revenue growth. It is our
belief that this proposal provides a sound financial outline for
county operations during the upcoming fiscal year. To conclude, I
would also like to thank the department heads for their efforts during
this proc~ss and again &xpress L~ appreciation to all of the st~~f
which hs.'T =ontributed to .:his p~oposal. J
