The minutes from the Harnett County Board of Commissioners meeting of March 5, 1984

that the minutes need to be corrected in reference to the Waddell Road. The
minutes state that Mr. Stone with the N. C. Department of Transportation informed
the Board that he felt the Waddell Road located off SR 1001 would get paved. The

off SR 1001 would be added to the State System for Maintenance. Commissioner
Stewart made a motion that this correction be approved; Commissioner Brock seconde
the motion and it carried. Otherwise, the minutes were approved as read.

Board and expressed their concerns over the conditions of this road. They stated
that they would like for this road to be paved; and if it could not, then the
Department of Transportation be requested to put additional crush and run on the

ance Office would be contacted concerning the condition of SR 1403, and the County

RECOMENDATION
PERSONNEL COM.
Grady Thomas appeared before the Board as Chairperson of a committee which has been .
formed in reference to trying to resolve the water and sewer problems which exist
in the Rolling Springs /Old Farm /Anderson Creek Community. Mr. Thomas informed the
Board that this committee has met and directed him to ask the County to have a
study conducted to see what can be done to alleviate some of these problems in the
Anderson Creek area. Following a discussion, Commissioner Shaw made a motion that
the County Manager be authorized to proceed with the preliminary study on this
area and be authorized to use funds not to exceed $3,000. If the cost of the study',
exceeds the $3,000, he is to call the Board of Commissioners. Commissioner Stewart
seconded the motion and it carried with a unanimous vote.
Tom Lanier, Emergency Management Coordinator, appeared before the Board and recom-
mended that the County consider incorporating into the plans for the new Law
Enforcement Center, a qualified Emergency Operating Center. This center would
serve as the primary operating center of government agencies during a natural or
man -made disaster in Harnett County. Mr. Lanier explained that during a disaster,
it is the responsibility of the County Commissioners to decide what action is to be,
taken, and it is his responsibility to make recommendations to the Board. Mr.
Lanier introduced to the Board Mr. Vance Kee, Area Supervisor for Emergency
Management, and then asked Mr. Steve Tant, Consulting Engineer with the Department
of Crime Control and Public Safety to explain in depth to the Board this program.
Mr. Tant explained that the Federal Government would share on a 50 /50 basis with
the county the additional costs incurred by the County to incorporate a qualified
HOC as a part of the Law Enforcement Building. Mr. Tant stated that based on the
population of Harnett County, it is estimated that the EOC would need to have
4,420 square feet. The estimated cost of construction to upgrade the proposed Law
Enforcement Center (a basic "shell" construction) to house the EOC would be
$287,668, of which the Federal share would be $143,834. Following a discussion,
Chairman Alphin expressed his appreciation to Mr. Tant for coming tonight and
meeting with the Board and stated that the County would present this information
to the Architects who are working with the Law Enforcement Center.
Lloyd G. Stewart, Chairman of the Personnel Committee, informed the Board that
REPORT ON AM. SERV. the Personnel Committee has met as directed by the Board of Commissioners at its
last meeting concerning the Harnett County Ambulance Service. Mr. Stewart stated
that it is the recommendation of the Personnel Committee that the ambulance
service personnel be reorganized, and that the County Manager be authorized to
study this department and its personnel and determine the most logical person to
whom additional responsibilities can be assigned, to reclassify this position, and
if additional funds are needed, be allowed to use an amount not to exceed $2,000.
Commissioner Stewart made a motion that this recommendation be accepted and
approved; Commissioner Collins seconded the motion and it carried.
FLATWOODS COMM. Mr. Brock, County Manager, informed the Board that at a meeting of the Flatwoods
FIRE DEPT., INC. Community Fire Department, Inc., held on February 7, 1984, the Board of Directors
voted to ask the County to divide this Department into two separate departments.
The fire department now has one department that governs two separate stations --
Flatwoods Fire Station No. 1 which serves the Flatwoods Community and Flatwoods
Fire Station No. 2 which serves the community of Bunnlevel. The Board of Directors
would like for the Department to be divided so that there would be a separate
department for each of the communities. Mr. Brock continued to state that he has
been working with Dwight Snow who is with Robert Morgan's office, and Mr. Snow
has drawn up a proposed resolution for the Board concerning this matter and the
