Harnett County Emergency Medical Services requested permission to apply and receive $3,500 for the approved SMAT III Support Project Grant as a member of the WakeMed CapRAC through the Subcontractor Agreement 2014-2015. These funds will be used to enhance regional preparedness as outlined by the United States Depat lnient of Health and Human Services, Division of Health Service Regulation, Office of Emergency Medical Services. The purpose of this agreement is to outline the process for the disbursement and use of funds. Barry Blevins, Director of General Services, introduced Kristine Perry and Jennifer Flowers of Harnett Animal Welfare Coalition (HAWC). Mr. Blevins said Harnett County Animal Services is proud to be partners with HAWC and thanked them for all of their efforts. Ms. Perry and Ms. Flowers addressed the group regarding the Students of Animal Responsibility (SOAR) Program. Coats Elementary School was the pilot for the SOAR program in Harnett County which is modeled after the Moore County course. The SOAR program will expand into three additional schools in Harnett County. Ms. Flowers introduced Coats Elementary 4th graders and SOAR members Emma Williams, Abbey Wilson and Carlie Parker who talked about what this program means to them. The young ladies also cited the SOAR pledge and presented commissioners with a large print of the pledge signed by students. Chairman Miller opened the floor for informal comments by the public, allowing up to 3 minutes for each presentation up to 30 minutes. - Paul Long of 601 Old Buies Creek Road shared concerns about what he calls an oligarchy, political persuasions and deceptive practices trying to destroy our county. He said we had an opportunity to have more revenue for this County without raising taxes with a landfill in a sand hole. Mr. Long said we are going to have to raise taxes to provide schools because we do not have enough funding and are not providing proper facilities for children. He said a bond issue is a tax increase. Mr. Long said we need a positive common goal to make this County better. - Cris Nystrom of 391 Senter Lane in Bunnlevel, who is a substitute teacher, said there is a need for infrastructure within the schools, noting misplace priorities and speaking about the amount of waste and destruction in our schools. - Jaysen Yochim of 50 Ticonderoga Road in Cameron shared concerns regarding how the '/ cent sales tax increase may be spent. Mr. Yochim said the over -crowding in the schools is worse and asked for an update on what is being done to address this. He noted the new charter school did not relieve any of the over -crowding. Mr. Yochim also said they have not seen any movement toward building the new school. September 15, 2014, Regular Meeting Minutes Harnett County Board of Commissioners Page 3 or 5 Commissioner House moved to approve the appointment listed below. Commissioner Hill seconded the motion which passed 3 - 1. PLANNING BOARD Cris A. Nystrom (nominated by Vice Chairman House) was appointed to serve on this Board as a regular member in District 2. Commissioner Burgin moved to appoint David N. Levinson to serve on the Planning Board as a regular member and Cris A. Nystrom as an alternate member, both for District 2, however the motion died due to the lack of a second. Mark Locklear, Planning Services Director, petitioned the Board for a public hearing on a proposed zoning change — Landowner/Applicant: Jeffrey Carl Beal; 5.93+/- acres; From Commercial to RA -20R; Hwy 27 West; Barbecue Township. Mr. Locklear noted this site is currently vacant, except for an inhabitable older house. Surrounding land uses are farmland, low density residential and various commercial uses. Services available include public water and private (septic tank) sewer. This application was heard at the September 2, 2014 Planning Board meeting with no opposition and the Harnett County Planning Board recommended approval with a unanimous vote based on the existing zoning compatibility to the surrounding properties. Mr. Locklear reported staff evaluation as: - The IMPACT to the adjacent property owners and the surrounding community is reasonable, and the benefits of the rezoning outweigh any potential inconvenience or harm to the community. REASONING: The impact to the surrounding community is reasonable, as the requested zoning district is similar in nature to neighboring zoning. - The requested zoning district is NOT COMPATIBLE with the existing Land Use Classification. REASONING: The requested zoning to RA -20R is not compatible with the Land Use Classification of Low Density Residential. As per the existing plan, Low Density Residential is meant to encourage large lot development and/or limited development. However, staff feels that this area's land use classification should be amended during the upcoming Land Use Plan update, to comply existing uses and lot sizes. - The proposal does ENHANCE or maintain the public health, safety and general welfare. REASONING: The requested zoning to RA -20R would maintain the public health, safety and general welfare due to the existing residential uses within the area. This request is NOT for a SMALL SCALE REZONING and should not be evaluated for reasonableness. REASONING: The proposed rezoning to RA -20R is immediately adjacent to RA -20R zoned land, thus this application does not need to be considered a Small Scale Rezoning. Suggested Statement -of -Consistency: Staff concludes that the requested rezoning to RA -20R is compatible with neighboring zoning districts and would not have an unreasonable impact on the surrounding community and will maintain the public health, safety, and general welfare for the reasons stated in the evaluation. It is recommended that this rezoning request be approved. September 15, 2014, Regular Meeting Minutes Harnett County Board of Commissioners Page 4 or 5 Commissioner Hill moved to approve the proposed zoning change as presented. Vice Chairman House seconded the motion which passed 4 — 0. The group watched the NCACC Association Update Video.

The follow reports were provided to commissioners: - Veterans Affairs Activities Report August 2014 - Planning Services Report — August 2014 - Interdepartmental Budget Amendments Chaiiivan Miller called for any new business. Commissioner Burgin asked about the County's legislative goals, which are due September 19th. Ms. Wheeler reported that Mr. Burns was currently working on the legislative goals and would circulate them. There was no need for closed session. Commissioner Burgin moved to adjourn the meeting at 7:32 pm. Commissioner Hill seconded the motion which passed 4 - 0.
