3. Emergency Services requested approval of the revision of the NC Statewide
Emergency Management Mutual Aid and Assistance Agreement between the NC
Department of Crime Control and Public Safety and its division of Emergency
Management and Harnett County. This agreement provides for efficient and effective
assistance among governments, faster reimbursement from the Federal Emergency
Management and covers liability and insurance concerns. This agreement also
provides for the cooperation and coordination of activities relating to emergency and
disaster mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. Harnett County agrees to
enter into this mutual aid agreement for reciprocal emergency management aid and
assistance thus providing mutual aid and assistance amongst one another during
disaster.
4. Emergency Services requested permission to submit an application for Emergency
Operations Center Grant through the United States Department of Homeland Security
2010 Emergency Operations Center Grant Program. This has a 75% federal and 25%
grantee cost share cash or in -kind match requirement. They will submit this grant to
the state for review. If grant is awarded, there will be a 36 month perfomiance
period. If Harnett County is successful in obtaining this grant, they will be able to
apply it toward the renovation of their current Emergency Operations Center.
5. Public Utilities requested the Board to consider a decreasing change order in the
amount of $165,145 for Ormond Utilities. This contract is associated with the Erwin
Wastewater Improvements Capital Project. This change order reduces the scope of
work in this contract by deleting various construction items.
6. Public Utilities requested approval of write -offs of delinquent accounts for the fourth
quarter of 2009. All of these accounts have been delinquent for more than three years
and total $12,257.56. The facilitation of these write -offs is an important step in a
continuing effort to effectively manage collections and bad debt. HCDPU is
currently using the Local Government Debt Setoff Program and On -Line Collections,
Inc. to help collect their delinquent accounts. They have recovered over $121,000 in
bad debt previously written off through the Debt Setoff Program.
7. The Planning Department requested approval for Planning Services /Community
Development's application to North Carolina Housing Finance Agency for 2010
Single Family Rehabilitation grant program. This grant encourages the
comprehensive rehabilitation of existing, moderately- deteriorated, single- family
owner - occupied housing units occupied by lower income (less than 80% area median
income) households with one or more elderly or disabled fulltime household
members of owner - occupied units with lead hazards and a child six years old or
younger. The initial grant amount is $200,000 with the opportunity to receive
additional monies if the first $120,000 is expended in a timely manner. There is no
required match.

8. Parks and Recreation requested approval of a contract amendment between the
County of Harnett and Western Harnett Youth Recreation for the youth recreation
programs in western Harnett County. The Finance Department requested that an
amendment be made due to the current contract signed in 1996 which only allots
$32,500 to Western Harnett Youth Recreation. The Board of Commissioners had
approved $65,000 to be allotted to Western Harnett Youth Recreation during the FY
09 -10 Budget.
9. The Harnett County IT Department requested premission to use the sole source
purchasing option to upgrade their current Enhanced 911 Telephone System. This
system is used to answer 911 emergency calls. Embarq, now known as CenturyLink,
has been their Enhanced 911 Emergency Telephone Service Provider since 1993.
Certain components of their current system are no longer supported under their
maitenance contract. The recommend that CentruryLink upgrade their current
Enhanced 911 Telpehone System for a toal cost of $310,715.51. This upgrade has
been budgeted for in the Enhanced 911 Budget Fund 240 as a capital lease for 3
years. This upgrade is funded 100% from 911 surcharge fees. There is a substantial
technical risk in contracting with another vendr for this service due to the way the
sytems aer interconnected. Having one vendor for all major components of the E -911
phone system is highly desirable.
10. The Finance Department requested approval to receive American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act (AARA) of 2009 funding for Congregate and Home Nutrition
services in the amount of $38,821. Due to this ARRA funding and because Harnett
County does not have a waiting list for nutrition services, Mid - Carolina Area Agency
on Aging recommends that Home & Community Care Block Grant funding
allocations be adjusted as follows: Congregate Nutrition, $20,334 decrease; Home
Delivered Nutrition, $10,487 decrease; DOA In -home Aide, $15,000 increase; DSS
In -home Aide, $15,000 increase; Home Improvement, $821 increase.
11. The Sheriff's Office requested approval to accept equipment from the NC
Department of Justice through the S.B.I. that has been awarded a U.S. DOJ COPS
Grant. This grant was awarded to fund cameras, equipment and training for N.C.
Sheriffs for use in their state and federally mandated sex offender registration and
management. The equipment for the Harnett County Sheriff's Office consists of: a
Sony Cybershot DCS -W290 12.1 magapixel camera, a sunpak 72" Tripod/Monopod,
and accessories (extra rechargeable battery, camera bag and extended 2 year

Street, spoke in opposition of the proposed closure. Mrs. Stewart state that she was speaking
both for individual property rights and her belief that this closure would be detrimental to the
public interest. Mrs. Stewart is currently using this property for storage of expensive equipment.
She stated this closure would make access for the fire department much more difficult as well as
causing traffic issues forcing large volumes of traffic down Main Street and past the nearby
elementary school causing "bottlenecking" which would be worse during class changes. She
proposed converting Pope Street in to a two way street.
Robert C. Cogswell, General Counsel for Campbell University, spoke in support of the closure.
Mr. Cogswell stated that Campbell University was asking for approval to close 270 feet of Pope
Street, installing brick pavers that would allow fire trucks to pass through in the case of an
emergency. Mr. Cogswell noted that this proposed closure was part of Campbell's Master Plan
that was previously reviewed and approved.

RESOLUTION TO OPPOSE TRANSFER OF SECONDARY
ROAD PROGRAM TO COUNTIES
WHEREAS, Harnett County opposes (1) the transfer of Secondary Road Program funding to the
Primary Road Program or any other program that will reduce funding for secondary road
construction, improvement and maintenance, (2) any efforts by the General Assembly or
NCDOT to shift any transportation costs formerly paid by the State to the counties, and (3) any
efforts by the General Assembly to appropriate local revenues whether property tax, sales tax or
any other local revenue for State transportation programs or any other State programs; and
WHEREAS, legislation has now been introduced (Senate Bill 758) that would transfer
responsibility for the maintenance of secondary roads from the State to counties beginning in
2011; and
WHEREAS, according to statistics compiled by the North Carolina Association of County
Commissioners in 2008, there are 907 miles of secondary roads located in Harnett County; and
WHEREAS, without the continuation of existing State revenue streams to pay for road upkeep
and construction, Harnett County would be forced to raise its property tax rate 11.3 cents in order
to keep up the current level of funding ($7,645,843) needed to maintain our existing secondary
roads; and
WHEREAS, Harnett County does not have the equipment or capital to take on this massive
additional responsibility.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Harnett County Board of Commissioners:
1. Strongly oppose SB 758, which, if ratified would transfer responsibility for and
maintenance of secondary roads from the State to the counties.
2. Strongly urge all counties to contact their legislative delegation to solicit their support
in defeating this proposed legislation.
3. Direct that a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the members of the North
Carolina General Assembly representing Harnett County with each Commissioner's
heartfelt concern about the transfer of this and future State cost shifts to counties.
4. Direct that a copy of this resolution be sent to the North Carolina Association of
County Commissioners and to the other North Carolina counties.
This the 4th day of January, 2010.
