minutes for each presentation.
Dr. Katherine Evans, 621 Tursa Drive, shared her frustrations regarding the recent
disposal of two 55 gallon barrels of material illegally dumped on her property.
Vice Chairman Hill moved to approve the appointment listed below. Commissioner Andrews
seconded the motion which passed unanimously.
Adult Care Home Community Advisory Committee
Mary W. Forrest (nominated by Commissioner Andrews) was reappointed for a term of
three years ending October 31, 2013.
Mr. Sauer presented the following report:

Page 5 of 8
Mr. Sauer reminded the group of the community information session in the Riverside area
schedule for later that day to gather information related to the community drainage project. He
highlighted the upcoming breakfast with Harnett Health Systems on October 7th where they will
give an update on the financing of the hospital project.
Mr. Sauer called upon Greg Taylor and Don Belk, both with BRAC RTF, to share a presentation
with commissioners. The gentlemen announced that Timothy B. McNeill had been awarded the
2010 Distinguished Leadership Award from the North Carolina Chapter of the American
Planning Association at their recent conference in New Bern. Mr. Belk, who nominated Mr.
McNeill, said "he displayed exceptional diplomacy that was essential to bring eleven diverse
county commissioners to consensus on the planning required for mandated growth at a scale
unprecedented for this region of southeastern North Carolina ". Mr. Belk said "Mr. McNeill has
clearly demonstrated his commitment to regionalism at a critical time for this region and for the
State of North Carolina. Through enlightened and inspired leadership, Mr. McNeil has
eliminated many of the archaic, political obstacles inherent in vertical, `siloed' thinking and
instead created and led a team solidly focused on planning for a sustainable future ". Mr.
McNeill was Chairman of the Fort Bragg/Pope Air Force Base BRAC Regional Task Force from
its inception in 2006 through 2009,
Mr. Sauer reported design work had been initiative on the Good Hope Psychiatric in- patient bed
facility. He said we have processed the first invoice and the engineer believes he is about 30%
complete on preliminary design. Mr. Sauer proposed a change of venue for the upcoming
October 12th work session and suggested meeting at the Old Shawtown School. The PAL
program has some ideals for using this space which Commissioners have recently discussed. He
noted the Harnett United Police Athletic Program (PAL) is a joint effort between the Sheriffs
Office and the Town of Lillington with community outreach in the Shawtown area.
Mr. Sauer distributed a draft sales tax referendum brochure asking for consensus to distribute the
brochure as an insert in the public utility bills being mailed out prior to November 2, 2010.
Commissioner Andrews moved to proceed with distribution of the brochures as presented; Vice -
Chairman Hill seconded to motion. Commissioner Burgin said he felt like some of the
information included in the brochure was promoting the sales tax increase and he did not want
his name printed on the referendum without an asterisk and statement noting he did not support
this tax increase. Commissioner Burgin moved to table the motion to approve the brochure. The
motion was seconded by Commissioner House and failed 3 to 2. The motion to approve the
brochure as presented and proceed with distribution passed 3 to 2 with Commissioners Burgin
and House opposing.
Cindy Milton, Director of the Harnett County Department of Social Services, reported significant
work load challenges for staff and requested assistance with pending applications for Family and
Children's Medicaid. She shared a handout regarding Virtual Income Maintenance Processing
and the recommendation that the Department of Social Services contract with Eligibility
Solutions Incorporated, an affiliate of Vanguard Professional Staffing, Inc. for the completion of
applications. Mrs. Milton suggested contact through a professional services agency as opposed
to hiring staff and believes she can absorb the cost through lapse salaries. Mrs. Milton reported
October 4, 2010 Regular Meeting Minutes

the cost of $57.50 per application. Commissioner Burgin moved to approve going with contract
services in Social Services. Vice Chairman Hill seconded the motion which passed
unanimously.
Mr. Sauer reported a really great turn out for the Industry Tour. He said Saab allowed them to
use their facilities where a local high school chorus did an amazing rendition of the National
Anthem.
Vice Chairman Hill thanked Dr. Evans for the information she brought to their attention as she
believes it is happening throughout the county and needs to be looked into.
Commissioner House moved that the Board go in to closed session to discuss certain personnel.
This motion was made pursuant to N.C. General Statute Section 143- 318.11(a)(6).
Commissioner Andrews seconded the motion which passed unanimously.
Commissioner Burgin moved that the Board come out of closed session. Commissioner
Andrews seconded the motion which passed unanimously.
Commissioner Burgin moved to remove his previous motion from the table to reduce the
property taxes by 1/2 cent if the 1/4 cent sales tax referendum passed. He stated his belief it is the
fairest way to tax. The motion was seconded by Commissioner House. Chairman McNeill said
he doesn't feel like they can commit to this given all of the uncertainty with the state's budget.
The motion failed 3 to 2 and the motion remained tabled. Commissioner Burgin said this is a
new tax any way you look at it and he does not support it without an adjustment to property
taxes.
Commissioner House discussed modular school construction and distributed color pictures and
other information from Champion. Chairman McNeill and Commissioner House asked that
Champion representatives be invited to present at an upcoming meeting.
Commissioner House spoke of his love for and the benefits of rivers in Harnett County. He said
Harnett County has a history of willful environmental neglect and he is concerned about the
Lower Little River which the South Regional WWTP discharges in to. Commissioner House
said the South Regional WWTP is currently under a 10,000 gallon per day upgrade and
according to NC DENR last week, no pennit or authorization to construct this addition has ever
been granted to Harnett County. Commissioner House said almost $4.5 Million has been spent
without this addition or project being permitted. Chairman McNeill said they would follow -up
as we would be in serious violation with the upgrade under construction without NC DENR
permits. Mr. Sauer assured commissioners that the County does have the authorization to
construct. Commissioner House said he requested the peuuit from the County the previous week
and it was never provided. He said NC DENR also told him on the phone that there was no
peHnit. Commissioner House commented that we have promised out a lot of capacity that may
never be permitted and if this is true, Public Utilities have put the County at huge, financial risk.

Commissioner House moved that they halt construction on the upgrade of the plant and
Anderson Creek Sewer Project until the proper permit is issued; that we suspend Public Utilities'
management without pay until there can be a thorough investigation with the issues resolved
including a permit in hand to proceed, that we suspend any other employee who had knowledge
of the permits but did not the Board; and that we appoint Amanda Bader to be interim
Public Works Director. Chairman McNeill requested that the meeting being recessed to allow
staff to call Raleigh and see where we are with the permit. Commissioner Andrews moved to
recess the meeting. The motion was seconded by Vice Chairman Hill and passed unanimously.
Chairman McNeill called the meeting back to order. Mr. Sauer distributed a December 4, 2009,
letter to Rodney Tart from NC DENR with authorization to construct. The letter states:
"A letter of request for an Authorization to Construct was received July 8, 2008, by the
Division, and final plans and specifications for the Harnett County Department of Public
Utilities, South Regional Wastewater Treatment Plan Upgrade, Harnett County, have
been reviewed and found to be satisfactory. Authorization is hereby granted for the
construction of modifications to the Existing 5 MGD South Regional Wastewater
Treatment Plant, with discharge of treated wastewater into the Little River in the Cape
Fear River Basin. This authorization results in no increase in design or permitted
capacity and is awarded for the construction of specific modifications" listed within the
letter.
The letter also states "please note this Authorization to Construct does not expressly grant
or imply approval of any additional capacity pursuant to Permit No. NC0088366."
Commissioner Burgin requested a special work session to discuss this project. Commissioner
House, at the request of Commissioner Burgin, withdrew his motion until this could be discussed
and reviewed.
Commissioner Andrews moved to adjourn the meeting at 10:41 am. The motion was seconded
by Vice Chairman Hill and passed unanimously.

which was available with the Board and which was read by title:
RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF THE COUNTY OF HARNETT,
NORTH CAROLINA, AUTHORIZING THE NEGOTIATION OF AN INSTALLMENT
FINANCING CONTRACT AND PROVIDING FOR CERTAIN OTHER RELATED MATTERS
THERETO
WHEREAS, the County of Harnett, North Carolina (the "County") is a validly existing political
subdivision of the State of North Carolina, existing as such under and by virtue of the Constitution,
statutes and laws of the State of North Carolina (the "State");
WHEREAS, the County has the power, pursuant to the General Statutes of North Carolina to
(1) purchase real and personal property, (2) enter into installment purchase contracts in order to finance or
refinance the purchase of real and personal property used, or to be used, for public purposes, and (3) grant
a security interest in some or all of the property purchased to secure repayment of the purchase price;
WHEREAS, the County has previously executed and delivered (a) an Installment Purchase
Contract dated as of April 15, 2000 (the "2000 Contract ") between the County and Harnett County
Public Facilities Corporation (the "Corporation"), (b) an Installment Purchase Contract dated as of
May 15, 2002 (the "2002 Contract ") between the County and the Corporation and (c) an Installment
Financing Contract dated as of May 1, 2008 (the "2008 Contract," and together with the 2000 Contract
and the 2002 Contract, the `Prior Contracts ") between the County and Branch Banking and Trust
Company;
PPAB 1733746v1
WHEREAS, to secure its obligations under the Prior Contracts, the County has previously
executed and delivered various deeds of trusts encumbering, among other collateral, the sites on which
Angier Elementary School, the County Courthouse Facility, Overhills High School, Highland Elementary
School and Lillington- Shawtown Elementary School are located (collectively, the "Sites") and the
improvements thereon;
WHEREAS, the Board hereby determines that it is in the best interest of the County to (1) enter
into an Installment Financing Contract (the "Contract") with a financial institution to be determined
(the "Bank ") in order to pay the capital costs of refinancing its installment payment obligations under the
Prior Contracts, and (2) to enter into a deed of trust, security agreement and fixture filing (the "Deed of
Trust ") relating to all or such portion of the County's fee simple interest in one or more of the Sites and
the improvements thereon as may be required to secure the refinancing;
WHEREAS, the County has previously determined and hereby determines that the acquisition of
the projects financed under the Prior Contracts are essential to the County's proper, efficient and
economic operation and to the general health and welfare of its inhabitants; that the projects financed
under the Prior Contracts are providing an essential use and are permitting the County to carry out public
functions that it is authorized by law to perform; and that entering into the Contract and Deed of Trust is
necessary and expedient for the County by virtue of the findings presented herein;
WHEREAS, the County has been advised that it can achieve savings by refinancing the principal
portion of the County's installment payments due under the Prior Contracts;
WHEREAS, the County hereby determines that the Contract allows the County to refinance the
Prior Contracts at a favorable interest rate currently available in the financial marketplace and on terms
advantageous to the County;
WHEREAS, the County hereby determines that the estimated cost of refinancing the Prior
Contracts is an amount not to exceed $53,000,000 and that such cost of the refinancing of the Prior
Contracts exceeds the amount that can be prudently raised from currently available appropriations,
unappropriated fund balances and non -voted bonds that could be issued by the County in the current fiscal
year pursuant to Article V, Section 4 of the Constitution of the State;
WHEREAS, although the cost of refinancing of the Prior Contracts pursuant to the Contract is
expected to exceed the cost of refinancing the Prior Contracts pursuant to a bond financing for the same
undertaking, the County hereby determines that the cost of refinancing the Prior Contracts pursuant to the
Contract and the Deed of Trust and the obligations of the County thereunder are preferable to a general
obligation bond financing or revenue bond financing for several reasons, including but not limited to the
following: (1) the cost of a special election necessary to approve a general obligation bond financing, as
required by the laws of the State, would result in the expenditure of significant funds; (2) the time
required for a general obligation bond election would cause an unnecessary delay which would thereby
decrease the financial benefits of refinancing the Prior Contracts; and (3) insufficient revenues are
produced by projects financed under the Prior Contracts so as to permit a revenue bond financing;
WHEREAS, the County hereby determines that the estimated cost of refmancing the Prior
Contracts pursuant to the Contract reasonably compares with an estimate of similar costs under a bond
financing for the same undertaking as a result of the findings delineated in the above preambles;
WHEREAS, the County does not anticipate a future property tax increase to pay installment
payments falling due under the Contract;
PPAB 1733746v1
WHEREAS, Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein LLP, as special counsel ( "Special Counsel"), will
render an opinion to the effect that entering into the Contract and the transactions contemplated thereby
are authorized by law;
WHEREAS, no deficiency judgment may be rendered against the County in any action for its
breach of the Contract, and the taxing power of the County is not and may not be pledged in any way
directly or indirectly or contingently to secure any moneys due under the Contract;
WHEREAS, the County is not in default under any of its debt service obligations;
WHEREAS, the County's budget process and Annual Budget Ordinance are in compliance with
the Local Government Budget and Fiscal Control Act, and external auditors have determined that the
County has conformed with generally accepted accounting principles as applied to governmental units in
preparing its Annual Budget ordinance;
WHEREAS, past audit reports of the County indicate that its debt management and contract
obligation payment policies have been carried out in strict compliance with the law, and the County has
not been censured by the North Carolina Local Government Commission (the "LGC"), external auditors
or any other regulatory agencies in connection with such debt management and contract obligation
payment policies;
WHEREAS, a public hearing on the Contract after publication of a notice with respect to such
public hearing must be held and approval of the LGC with respect to entering the Contract must be
received; and
WHEREAS, the County hereby determines that all findings, conclusions and determinations of the
County in this Resolution are subject to modification or affirmation after all interested parties have been
afforded the opportunity to present their comments at a public hearing regarding the execution and
delivery of the Contract, the Deed of Trust and the projects to be refinanced thereby.
