Local Government Debt Setoff Program and On-Line Collections, Inc. to help collect our
delinquent accounts.
6. Summerville Bunnlevel Fire & Rescue, Inc. requested approval to purchase a 1992

for each presentation up to 30 minutes.
-Kris Nystrom of 391 Center Lane in Bunnlevel, who is a substitute teacher, spoke about
the lack of and the state of the books in the classrooms. Mr. Nystrom said he is not
happy with the Bond because he doesn't think it is enough and he doesn't believe the
money is being spent wisely. He said a $62 Million high school seems excessive and he
doesn't think major improvements or maintenance at other schools are being addressed.
He said whatever solution we have we don't need to dump it on the teachers. Mr.
Nystrom said we need to make rules, we need to make them known to the students, and
then we are going to have to make examples of the students that tend to break them.
-Anne Jones of751 Oak Valley Farm Road in Coats said she is speaking on behalf of the
special people and adult handicaps of Harnett County. Mrs. Jones asked the Board to
reconsider a forthcoming recommendation for charges ($2 per trip, $4 round trip) to those

October 28, 2014

2014, in the Commissioners Meeting Room, County Administration Building, 102 East Front
Street, Lillington, North Carolina.
Members present: Joe Miller, Chairman

Jim Burgin, Commissioner
Beatrice B. Hill, Commissioner
Members absent: Gordon Springle, Commissioner
Staff present: Tommy Bums, Harnett County Manager
Joseph Jeffries, Deputy County Manager
Dwight Snow, County Attorney

Margaret Regina Wheeler, Clerk to the Board
Chairman Miller called the meeting to order at 9:00 am. Commissioner Burgin led the pledge of
allegiance and invocation. The following agenda was before commissioners:
1) Summerville Bunnlevel Fire & Rescue, Inc. is requesting approval to
purchase a 1992 International2674 General Fire Safety Engine with a 65'
Telesquirt Aerial Ladder/Water Tower.
2) Discussion regarding the Harnett County Schools Revised Capital Outlay
Project List
3) Finance Officer's Report-September 2014
4) County Manager's Report
5) Regular Meeting Agenda Review
Mr. Gary Pope, Director of Emergency Services, noted that it states in their contract that fire
departments must come before the Board of Commissioners if they wish to spend over $20,000 if
not included in their current approved budget. Mr. Leo McDonald, President of the Board of
Directors, and ChiefMelvin Yow presented Summerville Bunnlevel Fire & Rescue, Inc.'s
request to purchase a 1992 Intemational2674 General Fire Safety Engine with a 65' Telesquirt
Aerial Ladder/Water Tower. Mr. McDonald reported that they have the funds available for this
October 28, 2014, Special Session Minutes
Harnett County Board of Commissioners
Page 1 of 4 111714 HC BOC Page 8
purchase and no financing would be required. He also noted out this apparatus would cost over
$600,000 new. Chief Yow discussed the justifications and benefits of having such equipment.
Chief Yow explained that the truck and equipment just became available on Gov Deal last week
with an October 301h bid date. He has been assured that this truck is in excellent condition.
Chief Yow also said staff would need to take several classes in a hurry if they get this equipment.
Given the bid date, it \Vas the consensus of the Board to move forward with bidding on the
equipment not to exceed $35,000.
Chief Yow also said they are very lucky to have junior firemen coming in who have been
through the training at the Harnett Central Fire Academy. Mr. Pope said it is a great program.
Chief Yow invited the group to a demonstration by the Harnett Central Fire Academy students at
Yow's today at noon.
Commissioners discussed the revised capital outlay project list submitted Harnett County
Schools. Superintendent Frye had request that the projects on the revised list be funded from the
capital outlay (114 cent sales tax) appropriation as approved by the Harnett County Board of
Commissioners' Budget for fiscal year 2014/2015. Mr. Bums said the project list is being
considered because they don't currently have a new capital construction project for the J;,; cent
sales tax.
Commissioners discussed the items on the revised capital outlay project list; trying to identify
what were capital projects and what were repairs. Commissioner House said he believed the
intent of the fund was to save money for capital project. Mrs. Honeycutt said the County has
currently collected $424,000 from sales tax and noted we would have more by the time the
schools go out for bid for any work. It was the consensus of the Board that the Harnett County
Schools tentatively move forward with the plumbing replacement based on available funds. The
Board acknowledged the projected costs provided were estimates. Having discussed all items on
the list, commissioners believed that the plumbing replacement was the only capital project on
the list provided and asked that the school board come back to them with other capital needs in
the future.
The group believes that the School Board already has the due diligence on the elementary school
property covered but if due diligence is part of the new school then it may be done as part of the
capital project. Commissioner Miller said he doesn't believed that the School Board has made a
counter offer or done anything regarding that property yet. Mr. Bums reminded the group that
the County will apply for the additional $2.2 million of QSCB funds in January 2015 and the
School Board can use these funds for repairs in June 2015 when school is out.
Commissioner Burgin asked Mrs. Honeycutt to find out what money the state allocates for a new
school. He would like to know exactly what the state pays for when a brand new school us built.

Commissioner Burgin asked in the future if they would also include what we have spent this year
compared to last year at this time; showing where we are month to month. The group discussed
the general fund balance which Mrs. Honeycutt said was approximately $5 million at this time.
She said the state only looks at the fund balance percentage at the end of the year from the audit.
It was noted that the County will draw down some of Public Utilities' fund balance for a few
months. The group discussed Public Utilities' Fund balance and upcoming debt payments, the
Solid Waste Fund as well as the Medical and Dental Insurance Funds. Mrs. Honeycutt responded
we currently have positive cash in the Workman's Camp account which is holding its own right
now.
Under the County Manager's Report, Public Utilities Director Steve Ward and Mr. Bums wanted
to make the Board aware of a new amendment to a general statute regarding Senate Bill 744-
Ratified, Water Infrastructure, Section 14.17: "§159G-37. Application to CWSRF, Wastewater
Reserve, DWSRF, and Drinking Water Reserve now requires (b) Certification-The Division of
Water Infrastructure shall require all local governments applying for loans or grants for water or
wastewater purposes to certify that no funds received from water or wastewater utility operations
have been transferred to the local government's general fund for the purpose of supplementing
the resources of the general fund. The prohibition in this section shall not be interpreted to
include payments made to the local government to reimburse the general fund for expenses paid
from that fund that are reasonably allocable to the regular and ongoing operations of the utility,
including, but not limited to, rent and shared facility costs, engineering and design work, plan
review, and shared personnel costs." Mr. Ward said this looks like an attempt to say "maybe you
don't need to be borrowing money from us if you have money to subsidize your local
government's general fund". Mr. Ward said Public Utilities made application for a project in
September and then received notice that this certification must be part of the application. Mr.
Ward said Public Utilities has transferred $400,000 to the county's general fund for "economic
development" for the past ten years and he is not sure how they will interpret that appropriation.

Mr. Ward said there aren't many pots of state money left for them to borrow from. He said if
their application is denied and they still want to do this project it would take approximately $5
Million of the Public Utilities General Fund. Mr. Bums noted that they are talking to Davenport
about potential refunds in the future. Referencing the handout Mr. Ward shared regarding the
new amendment to Senate Bill 744-Ratified, Water Infrastructure, Section 14.17, Commissioner
Burgin asked if we had applied for or if the Town of Erwin could apply for the $500,000 grant to
local governments in development tier two areas for water and sewer infrastructure projects
[Section 14.17 A (1 )] to continue improvements in the Town of Erwin.
Mr. Bums shared a copy of the new employee benefits guide printed by our insurance broker for
county employees. Mr. Bums also reminded the group of the upcoming Treatment Court
Graduation on ~ovember 121h at 2:00pm in courtroom six on the third floor.
The group reviewed the November 3, 2014, regular meeting agenda.
Chairman Miller inquired about the status of the floor at the Dunn-Erwin landfill. _;yfr. Jeffries
said the process is on-going and they are in review now to fix and repair certain aspects of the
floor. Staffbelieves the landfill will have to be closed again during repairs. Commissioner
Burgin asked if the company responsible would incur the costs associated with the closure. Mr.
Jeffries reported staff had filed for permits for new cells at both landfills. He also noted a public
meeting with a resolution in support of that application forthcoming in November.
Commissioner Burgin asked Mr. Snow to research the County's agreement with Harnett Health.
Commissioner Burgin said there are some obligations from that organization to the County plus
we have $2.5 Million dollars of tax payer money tied up in improvements at Brightwater. He
asked what is the County's obligation and involvement.
Commissioner Hill moved to adjourn the meeting at 10:13 am. Commissioner Burgin seconded
the motion which passed 4 to 0.

Indirect Costs
Attachment C
Contract# FY1 5-30719-003 RL 13
County of Harnett
An Indirect Cost is any cost not directly identified with a single, final cost objective, but identified with two
or more final cost objectives. It is not subject to treatment as a direct cost. After direct costs have been
determined in a contract budget or other work/activity, indirect costs are those remaining to be allocated.
An indirect cost shall not be allocated to a final cost objective if other costs incurred for the same purpose
in like circumstances have been included as a direct cost. In simpler terms, indirect costs are those costs
not readily identified with a specific project or organizational activity but incurred for the joint benefit of both
projects or activities. Indirect are normally grouped into common pools and charged to benefiting
objectives through an allocation process or indirect cost rate. Indirect costs include costs which are
frequently referred to as overhead expenses (rent and utilities) and general and administrative expenses
(officers' salaries, accounting department costs and personnel department costs). An indirect cost rate is
simply a device for determining fairly and expeditiously the proportion of general (non-direct) expenses
that each project or activity will bear. It is the ratio between total indirect costs of an applicant and some
equitable direct cost base. The indirect cost base or bases (that is, the denominator(s) of the fraction
producing a rate) should be selected so as to permit an equitable distribution of indirect costs to the
benefiting cost objective.
There are three basic types of indirect cost rates: (1) Provisional/Final; (2) Predetermined; and (3) Fixed
with a Carry-Forward provision. The distinguishing difference between the rates lies not in how they are
developed or the type of costs they represent, but rather in whether and how they are adjusted to reflect
actual costs.
A Provisional rate is to be used until a final rate has been determined. Cost principles clearly state that
provisional rates are intended as a temporary measure for "interim reimbursement" pending the
establishment of a final rate for that period. Provisional rates require retroactive adjustments to the final
rate, which is later set, based on actual allowable costs incurred during the period. If the final (actual) rate
is less than the provisional rate. the difference is owed back to the federal funding agency. On the other
hand, if the final rate is higher than the provisional rate (an unusual occurrence), additional federal funds
may be recovered if they are available at the time of adjustment. A contract with a provisional rate
must remain open until a final rate has been established and all costs settled based on the final
rate.
A Predetermined rate is firm; it cannot be adjusted. Therefore, before such a rate is approved, it must be
assured that the actual rate is equal to or less than the predetermined rate, or that any overpayment that
may occur when the rates are converted to dollars will be immaterial. If a contract provider agrees to
recover less indirect costs than it is entitled to under federal cost principles may find the predetermined
rate attractive because there is no after-the-fact adjustment and it knows how much indirect it will recover.
The Fixed Rate with Carry-Forward has all the attributes of the other two rate types, but none of their
disadvantages. A contract provider can adjust its estimated rate to an actual rate and it is not necessary
to recover (or pay back) retroactive adjustments as it would with a provisional/final rate, or commit itself to
an under recovery of costs as it might with a predetermined rate.
A copy of the indirect cost rate approved by the Federal cognizant agency must be attached. Where
circumstances do not allow for the designation of a Federal cognizant agency, an indirect cost rate may be
established as described in the following paragraphs. Under no circumstances can indirect costs in
excess of the approved rate or amount be claimed for reimbursement or matching purposes. State
agencies. if approved by the Office of State Budget and Management, may recover or be reimbursed for a
portion of allowable indirect costs and utilize the unrecovered portion as certified public expenditures, or
match, for the non-federal share of costs required under such a contract.
Many non-governmental entities receive federal funds/grants directly from a federal agency. The Federal
cognizant agency approves (or disapproves) such an entity's indirect cost rate(s) on behalf of all federal
agencies that provide funds to that organization. Once the Federal cognizant agency approves the rate, it

County of Harnett
is expected to be accepted by other agencies when determining the amount of indirect costs applicable to
their contracts and programs. As a general rule, the cognizant agency is the federal agency that provides
the largest amount of funds to a non-governmental entity over a certain period of time. Therefore, if a
non-governmental entity receives funding directly from a federal agency (or agencies), the Federal
cognizant agency shall be established. The Federal cognizant agency may provide technical assistance
and guidance to entities on how to prepare a proposal requesting establishment and approval of an
indirect cost rate.
In situations where a non-governmental entity does not receive funds directly from a federal agency and
where no Federal cognizant agency is designated, an indirect cost rate may be established using criteria
and cost principles outlined in the applicable federal circular. Under these conditions, a person or firm.
preferably one knowledgeable of this subject should establish the rate. This person or firm should not be
associated with the audit firm that conducts an audit of the entity's records. Once a rate has been
established, this person or firm should certify in writing to the non-governmental entity that the rate has
been established in accordance with the applicable federal circular and that the documentation should be
maintained and made available to any auditor requesting such information. The entity should also provide
a copy of the letter to any and all agencies with whom they contract and from whom they wish to claim
reimbursement of indirect costs.
Depending upon the type of organization, the following federal circulars/regulations apply:
• State, Local and Indian Tribal Governments OMB Circular A-87 & ASMB C-1 0
• Educational Institutions OMB Circular A-21
• Hospitals 45 CFR Part 74
• Private Non-Profit Organizations OMB Circular A-122
• For Profit Organizations (other than hospitals) 48 CFR Part 31
Day to Day application:
If the contract budget includes indirect (or administrative) costs:
1. A Contractor may include indirect costs in the contract budget for reimbursement if they have a (1)
Predetermined indirect cost rate (not subject to adjustment); (2) Fixed rate (no recovery, over or
under required) or (3) Provisional rate which requires adjustment to actual at a later time when actual
costs have been determined by audit.
2. Review the contract funding source to determine possible limitations regarding administrative costs.
Indirect costs are also considered administrative costs and must be considered when a federal
funding source limits total administrative costs. That is, the total of direct administrative costs plus
indirect costs cannot exceed limitations established by federal regulations for administrative
purposes.
3. Official documentation of indirect cost is one of the two following documents and should cover at a
minimum the period of the contract:
a. Official document from the cognizant federal agency approving the indirect cost rate or
b. In the absence of a cognizant federal agency, the official letter or document from the
independent source (not the contractor) approving the rate.
4. Child Care Networks, Inc. should verify the indirect costs computation. Official documentation should
include the basis for the determination and any line items (such as equipment or subcontract costs
over $25,000) that are excluded from the determination. The contractor should not compute indirect
costs on excluded line items or those with dollar limitations.
5. A copy of the official indirect cost documentation must be attached to the executed contract.
Note: Contractors should be made aware of possible limitations on indirect costs and that official
documentation must be submitted prior to the processing of their contract.

Re: Letter of Support for Johnston County Industries (JCI) I Harnett Production Enterprise's
(HPE) 5310 Program Application for Purchase of Service
Dear Mr. Baker:
The Harnett County Board of Commissioners would like to express its support of
JCI/HPE's application to the North Carolina Department of Transportation for 5310 Program
funding for the purchase of service to supplement direct costs associated with transportation of
HPE passengers.
Harnett Area Rural Transit System (HARTS) uses Elderly and Disabled Transportation
Assistance Program (EDTAP) funds to provide daily transportation for HPE passengers. JCI's
successful application and program will help supplement the County's growing expenditure
support for this transportation.
This is another great illustration of community partnerships to ensure Harnett County
meets the needs of our residents. Harnett County anticipates this grant will assist in continuing
efficient transit operations in support of its citizens utilizing HPE services. Likewise, the funding
award will help to offset the rising costs of public transportation in our community.
Sincerely,
Joe Miller, Chairman
Harnett County Board of Commissioners

CERTIFIED STATEMENT
FY2015
RURAL OPERATING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
County of Harnett
WHEREAS, the state-funded, formula-based Rural Operating Assistance Program (ROAP) administered
by the North Carolina Department of Transportation, Public Transportation Division provides funding for
the operating cost of passenger trips for counties within the state;
WHEID:AS, the county uses the most recent transportation plans (i.e. CTSP, CTIP, LCP) available and
other public involvement strategies to learn about the transportation needs of agencies and individuals in
the county before determining the sub-allocation of these ROAP funds;
WHEREAS, the county government or regional public transportation authorities created pursuant to
Article 25 or Article 26 of Chapter 160A of the General Statutes (upon written agreement with the
municipalities or counties served) are the only eligible recipients of Rural Operating Assistance Program
funds which are allocated to the counties based on a formula as described in the Program Guidelines
included in the ROAP State Management Plan. NCDOT will disburse the ROAP funds only to counties
and eligible transportation authorities and not to any sub-recipients selected by the county;
WHEREAS, the county finance officer will be considered the county official accountable for the
administration of the Rural Operating Assistance Program in the county, unless otherwise designated by
the Board of County Commissioners;
WHEREAS, the passenger trips provided with ROAP funds must be accessible to individuals with
disabilities and be provided without discrimination on the basis of national origin, creed, age, race or
gender (FT A C 4702.1 A, FT A C 4704.1, Americans with Disabilities Act 1990); and
WHEREAS, the period of performance for these funds will be July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015 regardless
of the date on which ROAP funds are disbursed to the county.
NOW, THEREFORE, by signing below, the duly authorized representatives of the County
of Harnett North Carolina certify that the following statements are true and accurate:
111 The county employed a documented methodology for sub-allocating ROAP funds that involved the
participation of eligible agencies and citizens. Outreach efforts to include the participation of the
elderly and individuals with disabilities, persons with limited English proficiency, minorities and low
income persons in the county's sub-allocation decision have been documented.
e The county will advise any sub-recipients about the source of the ROAP funds, specific program
requirements and restrictions, eligible program expenses and reporting requirements. The county will
be responsible for invoicing any sub-recipients for unexpended ROAP funds as needed .
., The county will monitor ROAP funded services routinely to verify that ROAP funds are being spent
on allowable activities and that the eligibility of service recipients is being properly documented. The
county will maintain records of trips and services for five years that prove that an eligible citizen was
provided an eligible transportation service on the billed date, by whatever conveyance at the specified
cost.
111 The county will be responsible for monitoring the safety, quality and cost ofROAP funded services
and assures that any procurements by subrecipients for contracted services will follow state
guidelines .
., The county will conduct regular evaluations ofROAP funded passenger trips provided throughout the
period of performance.

SFY 2016 Community Transportation Program (CTP) Grant
Application -Special Section 5333 (b) Warranty
Special Section 5333(b) Warranty
For Application to the Nonurbanized Area Formula Program
The following language shall be made part of the contract of assistance with the State or other
public body charged with allocation and administration of funds provided under the
Community Transportation Program (CTP):
A. General Application
The Public Body (The North Carolina Department of Transportation) agrees that the terms
and conditions of this warranty, as set forth below, shall apply for the protection of the
transportation related employees of any employer providing transportation services assisted
by the project,
County of Harnett
(Legal Name of Applicant) and the transportation related employees of any other surface
public transportation providers in the transportation service area of the project.
The Public Body shall provide to the U. S. Department of Labor and maintain at all times
during the Project an accurate, up-to-date listing of all existing transportation providers which
are eligible Recipients of transportation assistance funded by the Project, in the transportation
service area of the Project, and any labor organizations representing the employees of such
providers.
Certification by the Public Body to the U. S. Department of Labor that the designated
Recipients have indicated in writing acceptance of the terms and conditions of the warranty
arrangement will be sufficient to permit the flow of CTP funding in the absence of a finding
of noncompliance by the Department of Labor.
B. Standard Terms and Conditions
(1) The Project shall be carried out in such a manner and upon such terms and conditions as
will not adversely affect employees of the Recipient and of any other surface public
transportation provider in the transportation service area of the Project. It shall be an
obligation of the Recipient to assure that any and all transportation services assisted by the
Project are contracted for and operated in such a manner that they do not impair the rights and
interests of affected employees. The term "Project," as used herein, shall not be limited to the
particular facility, service, or operation assisted by Federal funds, but shall include any
changes, whether organizational, operational, technological, or otherwise, which are a result
of the assistance provided. The phrase "as a result of the Project," shall, when used in this
arrangement, include events related to the Project occurring in anticipation of, during, and
subsequent to the Project and any program of efficiencies or economies related thereto;
provided, however, that volume rises and falls of business, or changes in volume and
character of employment brought about solely by causes other than the Project (including any
economies or efficiencies unrelated to the Project) are not within the purview of this
arrangement.
NCDOT-PTD
SFY 2016
111714 HC BOC Page 183
SFY 2016 Community Transportation Program (CTP) Grant
Application-Special Section 5333 (b) Warranty
An employee covered by this arrangement, who is not dismissed, displaced or otherwise
worsened in his/her position with regard to employment as a result of the Project, but who is
dismissed, displaced or otherwise worsened solely because of the total or partial termination
of the Project or exhaustion of Project funding shall not be deemed eligible for a dismissal or
displacement allowance within the meaning of paragraphs (6) and (7) ofthis arrangement.
(2) Where employees of a Recipient are represented for collective bargaining purposes, all
Project services provided by that Recipient shall be provided under and in accordance with
any collective bargaining agreement applicable to such employees which is then in effect.
This Arrangement does not create any collective bargaining relationship where one does not
already exist or between any Recipient and the employees of another employer. Where the
Recipient has no collective bargaining relationship with the Unions representing employees in
the service area, the Recipient will not take any action which impairs or interferes with the
rights, privileges, and benefits and/or the preservation or continuation of the collective
bargaining rights of such employees.
(3) All rights, privileges, and benefits (including pension rights and benefits) of employees
covered by this arrangement (including employees having already retired) under existing
collective bargaining agreements or otherwise, or under any revision or renewal thereof, shall
be preserved and continued; provided, however, that such rights, privileges and benefits
which are not foreclosed from further bargaining under applicable law or contract may be
modified by collective bargaining and agreement by the Recipient and the Union involved to
substitute other rights, privileges and benefits. Unless otherwise provided, nothing in this
arrangement shall be deemed to restrict any rights the Recipient may otherwise have to direct
the working forces and manage its business as it deemed best, in accordance with the
applicable collective bargaining agreement.
( 4) The collective bargaining rights of employees covered by this arrangement, including the
right to arbitrate labor disputes and to maintain union security and checkoff arrangements, as
provided by applicable laws, policies and/or existing collective bargaining agreements, shall
be preserved and continued. Provided, however, that this provision shall not be interpreted so
as to require the Recipient to retain any such rights which exist by virtue of a collective
bargaining agreement after such agreement is no longer in effect.
The Recipient agrees that it will bargain collectively with the Union or otherwise arrange for
the continuation of collective bargaining, and that it will enter into agreements with the Union
or arrange for such agreements to be entered into, relative to all subjects which are or may be
proper subjects of collective bargaining. If, at any time, applicable law or contracts permit or
grant to employees covered by this arrangement the right to utilize any economic measures,
nothing in this arrangement shall be deemed to foreclose the exercise of such right.
(5)(a) The Recipient shall provide to all affected employees sixty (60) days' notice of intended
actions which may result in displacements or dismissals or rearrangements of the working
forces as a result of the Project. In the case of employees represented by a Union, such notice
shall be provided by certified mail through their representatives. The notice shall contain a

SFY 2016 Community Transportation Program (CTP) Grant
Application-Special Section 5333 (b) Warranty
full and adequate statement of the proposed changes, and an estimate of the number of
employees affected by the intended changes, and the number and classifications of any jobs
within the jurisdiction and control of the Recipient, including those in the employment of any
entity bound by this arrangement pursuant to paragraph (21), available to be filled by such
affected employees.
(5)(b) The procedures of this subparagraph shall apply to cases where notices involve
employees represented by a Union for collective bargaining purposes. At the request of either
the Recipient or the representatives of such employees, negotiations for the purposes of
reaching agreement with respect to the application of the terms and conditions of this
arrangement shall commence immediately. These negotiations shall include determining the
selection of forces from among the mass transportation employees who may be affected as a
result of the Project, to establish which such employees shall be offered employment for
which they are qualified or can be trained. If no agreement is reached within twenty (20) days
from the commencement of negotiations, any party to the dispute may submit the matter to
dispute settlement procedures in accordance with paragraph (15) of this arrangement. Unless
the parties otherwise mutually agree in writing, no change in operations, services, facilities or
equipment within the purview of this paragraph (5) shall occur until after either: 1) an
agreement with respect to the application of the terms and conditions of this arrangement to
the intended change(s) is reached; 2) the decision of the arbitrator has been rendered pursuant
to this subparagraph (b); or 3) an arbitrator selected pursuant to Paragraph (15) of this
arrangement determines that the intended change(s) may be instituted prior to the finalization
of implementing arrangements.
(5)(c) In the event of a dispute as to whether an intended change within the purview of this
paragraph (5) may be instituted at the end of the 60-day notice period and before an
implementing agreement is reached or a final arbitration decision is rendered pursuant to
subparagraph (b), any involved party may immediately submit that issue to arbitration under
paragraph (15) of this arrangement. In any such arbitration, the arbitrator shall rely upon the
standards and criteria utilized by the Surface Transportation Board (and its predecessor
agency, the Interstate Commerce Commission) to address the "preconsummation" issue in
cases involving employee protections pursuant to 49 U.S.C. Section 11326 (or its predecessor,
Section 5(2)(f) of the Interstate Commerce Act, as amended). If the Recipient demonstrates,
as a threshold matter in any such arbitration, that the intended action is a trackage rights, lease
proceeding or similar transaction, and not a merger, acquisition, consolidation, or other
similar transaction, the burden shall then shift to the involved labor organization(s) to prove
that under the standards and criteria referenced above, the intended action should not be
permitted to be instituted prior to the effective date of a negotiated or arbitrated implementing
agreement. If the Recipient fails to demonstrate that the intended action is a trackage rights,
lease proceeding, or similar transaction, it shall be the burden of the Recipient to prove that
under the standards and criteria referenced above, the intended action should be permitted to
be instituted prior to the effective date of a negotiated or arbitrated implementing agreement.
For purposes of any such arbitration, the time period within which the parties are to respond
to the list of potential arbitrators submitted by the American Arbitration Association Service
shall be five (5) days, the notice of hearing may be given orally or by facsimile, the hearing
will be held promptly, the award of the arbitrator shall be rendered promptly and, unless

otherwise agreed to by the parties, no later than fourteen (14) days from the date of closing
the hearings, with five (5) additional days for mailing if posthearing briefs are requested by
either party. The intended change shall not be instituted during the pendency of any
arbitration proceedings under this subparagraph (c).
(5)(d) If an intended change within the purview of this paragraph (5) is instituted before an
implementing agreement is reached or a final arbitration decision is rendered pursuant to
subparagraph (b), all employees affected shall be kept financially whole, as if the noticed and
implemented action has not taken place, from the time they are affected until the effective
date of an implementing agreement or final arbitration decision. This protection shall be in
addition to the protective period defined in paragraph (14) of this arrangement, which period
shall begin on the effective date of the implementing agreement or final arbitration decision
rendered pursuant to subparagraph (b).
An employee selecting, bidding on, or hired to fill any position established as a result of a
noticed and implemented action prior to the consummation of an implementing agreement or
final arbitration decision shall accumulate no benefits under this arrangement as a result
thereof during that period prior to the consummation of an implementing agreement or final
arbitration decision pursuant to subparagraph (b).
(6)(a) Whenever an employee, retained in service, recalled to service, or employed by the
Recipient pursuant to paragraphs (5), (7)(e), or (18) hereof is placed in a worse position with
respect to compensation as a result of the Project, the employee shall be considered a
"displaced employee", and shall be paid a monthly "displacement allowance" to be
determined in accordance with this paragraph. Said displacement allowance shall be paid each
displaced employee during the protective period so long as the employee is unable, in the
exercise of his/her seniority rights, to obtain a position producing compensation equal to or
exceeding the compensation the employee received in the position from which the employee
was displaced, adjusted to reflect subsequent general wage adjustments, including cost of
living adjustments where provided for.
(6)(b) The displacement allowance shall be a monthly allowance determined by computing
the total compensation received by the employee, including vacation allowances and monthly
compensation guarantees, and his/her total time paid for during the last twelve (12) months in
which the employee performed compensated service more than fifty per centum of each such
months, based upon the employee's normal work schedule, immediately preceding the date of
his/her displacement as a result of the Project, and by dividing separately the total
compensation and the total time paid for by twelve, thereby producing the average monthly
compensation and the average monthly time paid for. Such allowance shall be adjusted to
reflect subsequent general wage adjustments, including cost of living adjustments where
provided for. If the displaced employee's compensation in his/her current position is less in
any month during his/her protective period than the aforesaid average compensation (adjusted
to reflect subsequent general wage adjustments, including cost of living adjustments where
provided for), the employee shall be paid the difference, less compensation for any time lost
on account of voluntary absences to the extent that the employee is not available for service
equivalent to his/her average monthly time, but the employee shall be compensated in
4
NCDOT-PTD

SFY 2016 Community Transportation Program (CTP) Grant
Application -Special Section 5333 (b) Warranty
addition thereto at the rate of the current position for any time worked in excess of the average
monthly time paid for. If a displaced employee fails to exercise his/her seniority rights to
secure another position to which the employee is entitled under the then existing collective
bargaining agreement, and which carries a wage rate and compensation exceeding that of the
position which the employee elects to retain, the employee shall thereafter be treated, for the
purposes of this paragraph, as occupying the position the employee elects to decline.
(6)(c) The displacement allowance shall cease prior to the expiration of the protective period
in the event of the displaced employee's resignation, death, retirement, or dismissal for cause
in accordance with any labor agreement applicable to his/her employment.
(7)(a) Whenever any employee is laid off or otherwise deprived of employment as a result of
the Project, in accordance with any collective bargaining agreement applicable to his/her
employment, the employee shall be considered a "dismissed employee" and shall be paid a
monthly dismissal allowance to be determined in accordance with this paragraph. Said
dismissal allowance shall first be paid each dismissed employee on the thirtieth (30th) day
following the day on which the employee is "dismissed" and shall continue during the
protective period, as follow:
Employee's length of Service
prior to adverse effect Period of protection
I day to 6 years equivalent period
6 years or more 6 years
The monthly dismissal allowance shall be equivalent to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the total
compensation received by the employee in the last twelve (12) months of his/her employment
in which the employee performed compensation service more than fifty per centum of each
such month based on the employee's normal work schedule to the date on which the
employee was first deprived of employment as a result of the Project. Such allowance shall be
adjusted to reflect subsequent general wage adjustments, including cost of living adjustments
where provided for.
(7)(b) An employee shall be regarded as deprived of employment and entitled to a dismissal
allowance when the position the employee holds is abolished as a result of the Project, or
when the position the employee holds is not abolished but the employee loses that position as
a result of the exercise of seniority rights by an employee whose position is abolished as a
result of the Project or as a result of the exercise of seniority rights by other employees
brought about as a result of the Project, and the employee is unable to obtain another position,
either by the exercise of the employee's seniority rights, or through the Recipient, in
accordance with subparagraph (e). In the absence of proper notice followed by an agreement
or decision pursuant to paragraph (5) hereof, no employee who has been deprived of
employment as a result of the Project shall be required to exercise his/her seniority rights to
secure another position in order to qualify for a dismissal allowance hereunder.

(7)(c) Each employee receiving a dismissal allowance shall keep the Recipient informed as to
his/her current address and the current name and address of any other person by whom the
employee may be regularly employed, or if the employee is self-employed.
(7)(d) The dismissal allowance shall be paid to the regularly assigned incumbent of the
position abolished. If the position of an employee is abolished when the employee is absent
from service, the employee will be entitled to the dismissal allowance when the employee is
available for service. The employee temporarily filling said position at the time it was
abolished will be given a dismissal allowance on the basis of that position, until the regular
employee is available for service, and thereafter shall revert to the employee's previous status
and will be given the protections of the agreement in said position, if any are due him/her.
(7)(e) An employee receiving a dismissal allowance shall be subject to call to return to service
by the employee's former employer; notification shall be in accordance with the terms of the
then-existing collective bargaining agreement ifthe employee is represented by a union. Prior
to such call to return to work by his/her employer, the employee may be required by the
Recipient to accept reasonably comparable employment for which the employee is physically
and mentally qualified, or for which the employee can become qualified after a reasonable
training or retraining period, provided it does not require a change in residence or infringe
upon the employment rights of other employees under then-existing collective bargaining
agreements.
(7)(f) When an employee who is rece1vmg a dismissal allowance again commences
employment in accordance with subparagraph (e) above, said allowance shall cease while the
employee is so reemployed, and the period of time during which the employee is so
reemployed shall be deducted from the total period for which the employee is entitled to
receive a dismissal allowance. During the time of such reemployment, the employee shall be
entitled to the protections of this arrangement to the extent they are applicable.
(7)(g) The dismissal allowance of any employee who is otherwise employed shall be reduced
to the extent that the employee's combined monthly earnings from such other employment or
self-employment, any benefits received from any unemployment insurance law, and his/her
dismissal allowance exceed the amount upon which the employee's dismissal allowance is
based. Such employee, or his/her union representative, and the Recipient shall agree upon a
procedure by which the Recipient shall be kept currently informed of the earnings of such
employee in employment other than with the employee's former employer, including self-
employment, and the benefits received.
(7)(h) The dismissal allowance shall cease prior to the expiration of the protective period in
the event of the failure of the employee without good cause to return to service in accordance
with the applicable labor agreement, or to accept employment as provided under subparagraph
(e) above, or in the event of the employee's resignation, death, retirement, or dismissal for
cause in accordance with any labor agreement applicable to his/her employment.

(7)(i) A dismissed employee receiving a dismissal allowance shall actively seek and not
refuse other reasonably comparable employment offered him/her for which the employee is
physically and mentally qualified and does not require a change in the employee's place of
residence. Failure of the dismissed employee to comply with this obligation shall be grounds
for discontinuance of the employee's allowance; provided that said dismissal allowance shall
not be discontinued until final determination is made either by agreement between the
Recipient and the employee or his/her representative, or by final arbitration decision rendered
in accordance with paragraph (15) of this arrangement that such employee did not comply
with this obligation.
(8) In determining length of service of a displaced or dismissed employee for purposes of this
arrangement, such employee shall be given full service credits in accordance with the records
and labor agreements applicable to him/her and the employee shall be given additional service
credits for each month in which the employee receives a dismissal or displacement allowance
as if the employee were continuing to perform services in his/her former position.
(9) No employee shall be entitled to either a displacement or dismissal allowance under
paragraphs (6) or (7) hereofbecause of the abolishment of a position to which, at some future
time, the employee could have bid, been transferred, or promoted.
(1 0) No employee receiving a dismissal or displacement allowance shall be deprived, during
the employee's protected period, of any rights, privileges, or benefits attaching to his/her
employment, including, without limitation, group life insurance, hospitalization and medical
care, free transportation for the employee and the employee's family, sick leave, continued
status and participation under any disability or retirement program, and such other employee
benefits as Railroad Retirement, Social Security, Workmen's Compensation, and
unemployment compensation, as well as any other benefits to which the employee may be
entitled under the same conditions and so long as such benefits continue to be accorded to
other employees of the bargaining unit, in active service or furloughed as the case may be.
(ll)(a) Any employee covered by this arrangement who i.s retained in the service of his/her
employer, or who is later restored to service after being entitled to receive a dismissal
allowance, and who is required to change the point of his/her employment in order to retain or
secure active employment with the Recipient in accordance with this arrangement, and who is
required to move his/her place of residence, shall be reimbursed for all expenses of moving
his/her household and other personal effects, for the traveling expenses for the employee and
members of the employee's immediate family, including living expenses for the employee
and the employee's immediate family, and for his/her own actual wage loss during the time
necessary for such transfer and for a reasonable time thereafter, not to exceed five (5) working
days. The exact extent of the responsibility of the Recipient under this paragraph, and the
ways and means of transportation, shall be agreed upon in advance between the Recipient and
the affected employee or the employee's representatives.
(ll)(b) If any such employee is laid off within three (3) years after changing his/her point of
employment in accordance with paragraph (a) hereof, and elects to move his/her place of
residence back to the original point of employment, the Recipient shall assume the expenses,

unless such claim is presented to the Recipient in writing within ninety (90) days after the
date on which the expenses were incurred.
(11 )(d) Except as otherwise provided in subparagraph (b), changes in place of residence,
subsequent to the initial changes as a result of the Project, which are not a result ofthe Project
but grow out of the normal exercise of seniority rights, shall not be considered within the
purview of this paragraph.
(12)(a) The following conditions shall apply to the extent they are applicable in each instance
to any employee who is retained in the service of the employer (or who is later restored to
service after being entitled to receive a dismissal allowance), who is required to change the
point of his/her employment as a result of the Project, and is thereby required to move his/her
place of residence.
If the employee owns his/her own home in the locality from which the employee is required
to move, the employee shall, at the employee's option, be reimbursed by the Recipient for any
loss suffered in the sale of the employee's home for less than its fair market value, plus
conventional fees and closing costs, such loss to be paid within thirty (30) days of settlement
or closing on the sale of the home. In each case, the fair market value of the home in question
shall be determined, as of a date sufficiently prior to the date of the Project, so as to be
unaffected thereby. The Recipient shall, in each instance, be afforded an opportunity to
purchase the home at such fair market value before it is sold by the employee to any other
person and to reimburse the seller for his/her conventional fees and closing costs.
If the employee is under a contract to purchase his/her home, the Recipient shall protect the
employee against loss under such contract, and in addition, shall relieve the employee from
any further obligation thereunder.
If the employee holds an unexpired lease of a dwelling occupied as the employee's home, the
Recipient shall protect the employee from all loss and cost in securing the cancellation of said
lease.
(12)(b) No claim for loss shall be paid under the provisions of this paragraph unless such
claim is presented to the Recipient in writing within one year after the effective date of the
change in residence.
(12)(c) Should a controversy arise in respect to the value of the home, the loss sustained in its
sale, the loss under a contract for purchase, loss and cost in securing termination of a lease, or
any other question in connection with these matters, it shall be decided through a joint
conference between the employee, or his/her union, and the Recipient. In the event they are
unable to agree, the dispute or controversy may be referred by the Recipient or the union to a
board of competent real estate appraisers selected in the following manner: one (1) to be

if unable to agree within thirty (30) days upon the valuation, shall endeavor by agreement
with ten (1 0) days thereafter to select a third appraiser or to agree to a method by which a
third appraiser shall be selected, and failing such agreement, either party may request the
State and local Board of Real Estate Commissioners to designate within ten (1 0) days a third
appraiser, whose designation will be binding upon the parties and whose jurisdiction shall be
limited to determination of the issues raised in this paragraph only. A decision of a majority of
the appraisers shall be required and said decision shall be final, binding, and conclusive. The
compensation and expenses of the neutral appraiser including expenses ofthe appraisal board,
shall be borne equally by the parties to the proceedings. All other expenses shall be paid by
the party incurring them, including the compensation of the appraiser selected by such party.
(12)( d) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph ( 11 )(b) hereof, changes in place of
residence, subsequent to the initial changes as a result of the Project, which are not a result of
the Project but grow out of the normal exercise of seniority rights, shall not be considered
within the purview of this paragraph.
(12)(e) "Change in residence" means transfer to a work location which is either (A) outside a
radius of twenty (20) miles of the employee's former work location and farther from the
employee's residence than was his/her former work location, or (B) is more than thirty (30)
normal highway route miles from the employee's residence and also farther from his/her
residence than was the employee's former work location.
(13)(a) A dismissed employee entitled to protection under this arrangement may, at the
employee's option within twenty-one (21) days of his/her dismissal, resign and (in lieu of all
other benefits and protections provided in this arrangement) accept a lump sum payment
computed in accordance with section (9) of the Washington Job Protection Agreement of May
1936:
Length of Service
1 year and less than 2 years
2 years and less than 3 years
3 years and less than 5 years

multiplying by 5 the normal daily earnings (including regularly scheduled overtime, but
excluding other overtime payments) received by the employee in the position last occupied,
for each month in which the employee performed service, will be paid as the lump sum.
Length of service shall be computed as provided in Section 7(b) of the Washington Job
Protection Agreement, as follows:

SFY 2016 Community Transportation Program (CTP) Grant
Application-Special Section 5333 (b) Warranty
For the purposes of this arrangement, the length of service of the employee shall be
determined from the date the employee last acquired an employment status with the
employing carrier and the employee shall be given credit for one month's service for each
month in which the employee performed any service (in any capacity whatsoever) and twelve
(12) such months shall be credited as one year's service. The employment status of an
employee shall not be interrupted by furlough in instances where the employee has a right to
and does return to service when called. In determining length of service of an employee acting
as an officer or other official representative of an employee organization, the employee will
be given credit for performing service while so engaged on leave of absence from the service
of a carrier.
(13)(b) One month's pay shall be computed by multiplying by 30 the normal daily earnings
(including regularly scheduled overtime, but excluding other overtime payments) received by
the employee in the position last occupied prior to time of the employee's dismissal as a result
of the Project.
(14) Whenever used herein, unless the context requires otherwise, the term "protective
period" means that period of time during which a displaced or dismissed employee is to be
provided protection hereunder and extends from the date on which an employee is displaced
or dismissed to the expiration of six (6) years therefrom, provided, however, that the
protective period for any particular employee during which the employee is entitled to receive
the benefits of these provisions shall not continue for a longer period following the date the
employee was displaced or dismissed than the employee's length of service, as shown by the
records and labor agreements applicable to his/her employment prior to the date of the
employee's displacement or dismissal.
(15)(a) In the event that employee(s) are represented by a Union, any dispute, claim, or
grievance arising from or relating to the interpretation, application or enforcement of the
provisions of this arrangement, not otherwise governed by paragraph 12(c), the Labor-
Management Relations Act, as amended, the Railway Labor Act, as amended, or by impasse
resolution provisions in a collective bargaining or protective arrangement involving the
Recipient and the Union, which cannot be settled by the parties thereto within thirty (30) days
after the dispute or controversy arises, may be referred by any such party to any final and
binding disputes settlement procedure acceptable to the parties. In the event they cannot agree
upon such procedure, the dispute, claim, or grievance may be submitted at the written request
of the Recipient or the Union to final and binding arbitration. Should the parties be unable to
agree upon the selection of a neutral arbitrator within ten (1 0) days, any party may request the
American Arbitration Association to furnish, from among arbitrators who are then available to
serve, five (5) arbitrators from which a neutral arbitrator shall be selected. The parties shall,
within five (5) days after the receipt of such list, determine by lot the order of elimination and
thereafter each shall, in that order, alternately eliminate one name until only one name
remains. The remaining person on the list shall be the neutral arbitrator. Unless otherwise
provided, in the case of arbitration proceedings, under paragraph (5) of this arrangement, the
arbitration shall commence within fifteen (15) days after selection or appointment of the
neutral arbitrator, and the decision shall be rendered within forty-five (45) days after the
hearing of the dispute has been concluded and the record closed. The decision shall be final

and binding. All the conditions of the arrangement shall continue to be effective during the
arbitration proceedings.
(15)(b) The compensation and expenses of the neutral arbitrator, and any other jointly
incurred expenses, shall be borne equally by the Union(s) and Recipient, and all other
expenses shall be paid by the party incurring them.
(15)(c) In the event that employee(s) are not represented by a Union, any dispute, claim, or
grievance arising from or relating to the interpretation, application or enforcement of the
provisions of this arrangement which cannot be settled by the Recipient and the employee(s)
within thirty (30) days after the dispute or controversy arises, may be referred by any such
party to any final and binding dispute settlement procedure acceptable to the parties, or in the
event the parties cannot agree upon such a procedure, the dispute or controversy may be
referred to the Secretary of Labor for a final and binding determination.
(15)( d) In the event of any dispute as to whether or not a particular employee was affected by
the Project, it shall be the obligation of the employee or the representative of the employee to
identify the Project and specify the pertinent facts of the Project relied upon. It shall then be
the burden of the Recipient to prove that factors other than the Project affected the employee.
The claiming employee shall prevail if it is established that the Project had an effect upon the
employee even if other factors may also have affected the employee. (See Hodgson's
Affidavit in Civil Action No. 825-71 ).
(16) The Recipient will be financially responsible for the application of these conditions and
will make the necessary arrangements so that any employee covered by this arrangement may
file a written claim of its violation, through the Union, or directly if the employee is outside
the bargaining unit, with the Recipient within sixty (60) days of the date the employee is
terminated or laid off as a result of the Project, or within eighteen (18) months of the date the
employee's position with respect to his/her employment is otherwise worsened as a result of
the Project. In the latter case, if the events giving rise to the claim have occurred over an
extended period, the 18-month limitation shall be measured from the last such event. No
benefits shall be payable for any period prior to six (6) months from the date of the filing of
any claim. Unless such claims are filed with the Recipient within said time limitations, the
Recipient shall thereafter be relieved of all liabilities and obligations related to the claim.
The Recipient will fully honor the claim, making appropriate payments, or will give notice to
the claimant or his/her representative of the basis for denying or modifying such claim, giving
reasons therefore. If the Recipient fails to honor such claim, the Union or non-bargaining unit
employee may invoke the following procedures for further joint investigation of the claim by
giving notice in writing. Within ten (1 0) days from the receipt of such notice, the parties shall
exchange such factual material as may be requested of them relevant to the disposition of the
claim and shall jointly take such steps as may be necessary or desirable to obtain from any
third party such additional factual materials as may be relevant. In the event the Recipient
rejects the claim, the claim may be processed to arbitration as hereinabove provided by
paragraph ( 15).

(17) Nothing in this arrangement shall be construed as depriving any employee of any rights
or benefits which such employee may have under existing employment or collective
bargaining agreements or otherwise; provided that there shall be no duplication of benefits to
any employee, and, provided further, that any benefit under this arrangement shall be
construed to include the conditions, responsibilities, and obligations accompanying such
benefit. This arrangement shall not be deemed a waiver of any rights of any Union or of any
represented employee derived from any other agreement or provision of federal, state or local
law.
( 18) During the employee's protective period, a dismissed employee shall, if the employee so
requests, in writing, be granted priority of employment or reemployment to fill any vacant
position within the jurisdiction and control of the Recipient reasonably comparable to that
which the employee held when dismissed, including those in the employment of any entity
bound by this arrangement pursuant to paragraph (21) herein, for which the employee is, or by
training or retraining can become, qualified; not, however, in contravention of collective
bargaining agreements related thereto. In the event such employee requests such training or
re-training to fill such vacant position, the Recipient shall provide for such training or re-
training at no cost to the employee. The employee shall be paid the salary or hourly rate
provided for in the applicable collective bargaining agreement or otherwise established in
personnel policies or practices for such position, plus any displacement allowance to which
the employee may be otherwise entitled. If such dismissed employee who has made such
request fails, without good cause, within ten (I 0) days to accept an offer of a position
comparable to that which the employee held when dismissed for which the employee is
qualified, or for which the employee has satisfactorily completed such training, the employee
shall, effective at the expiration of such ten-day period, forfeit all rights and benefits under
this arrangement.
As between employees who request employment pursuant to this paragraph, the following
order where applicable shall prevail in hiring such employees:
(a) Employees in the craft or class of the vacancy shall be given priority over employees
without seniority in such craft or class;
(b) As between employees having seniority in the craft or class of the vacancy, the senior
employees, based upon their service in that craft or class, as shown on the appropriate
seniority roster, shall prevail over junior employees;
(c) As between employees not having seniority in the craft or class of the vacancy, the senior
employees, based upon their service in the crafts or classes in which they do have seniority as
shown on the appropriate seniority rosters, shall prevail over junior employees.
(19) The Recipient will post, in a prominent and accessible place, a notice stating that the
Recipient has received federal assistance under the Federal Transit statute and has agreed to
comply with the provisions of 49 U.S.C., Section 5333(b). This notice shall also specify the
terms and conditions set forth herein for the protection of employees. The Recipient shall
maintain and keep on file all relevant books and records in sufficient detail as to provide the

arrangement and to the proper determination of any claims arising thereunder.
(20) In the event the Project is approved for assistance under the statute, the foregoing terms
and conditions shall be made part of the contract of assistance between the federal
government and the applicant for federal funds and between the applicant and any recipient of
federal funds; provided, however, that this arrangement shall not merge into the contract of
assistance, but shall be independently binding and enforceable by and upon the parties thereto,
and by any covered employee or his/her representative, in accordance with its terms, nor shall
any other employee protective agreement merge into this arrangement, but each shall be
independently binding and enforceable by and upon the parties thereto, in accordance with its
terms.
(21) This arrangement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the parties hereto,
and no provisions, terms, or obligations herein contained shall be affected, modified, altered,
or changed in any respect whatsoever by reason of the arrangements made by or for the
Recipient to manage and operate the system.
Any person, enterprise, body, or agency, whether publicly -or privately-owned, which shall
undertake the management, provision and/or operation of the Project services or the
Recipient's transit system, or any part or portion thereof, under contractual arrangements of
any form with the Recipient, its successors or assigns, shall agree to be bound by the terms of
this arrangement and accept the responsibility with the Recipient for full performance of these
conditions. As a condition precedent to any such contractual arrangements, the Recipient shall
require such person, enterprise, body or agency to so agree.
(22) In the event of the acquisition, assisted with Federal funds, of any transportation system
or services, or any part or portion thereof, the employees of the acquired entity shall be
assured employment, in comparable positions, within the jurisdiction and control of the
acquiring entity, including positions in the employment of any entity bound by this
arrangement pursuant to paragraph (21 ). All persons employed under the provisions of this
paragraph shall be appointed to such comparable positions without examination, other than
that required by applicable federal, state or federal law or collective bargaining agreement,
and shall be credited with their years of service for purposes of seniority, vacations, and
pensions in accordance with the records of their former employer and/or any applicable
collective bargaining agreements.
(23) The employees covered by this arrangement shall continue to receive any applicable
coverage under Social Security, Railroad Retirement, Workmen's Compensation,
unemployment compensation, and the like. In no event shall these benefits be worsened as a
result of the Project.
(24) In the event any provision of this arrangement is held to be invalid, or otherwise
unenforceable under the federal, state, or local law, in the context of a particular Project, the
remaining provisions of this arrangement shall not be affected and the invalid or
unenforceable provision shall be renegotiated by the Recipient and the interested Union

party may invoke the jurisdiction of the Secretary of Labor to determine substitute fair and
equitable employee protective arrangements for application only to the particular Project,
which shall be incorporated in this arrangement only as applied to that Project, and any other
appropriate action, remedy, or relief.
(25) If any employer of the employees covered by this arrangement shall have rearranged or
adjusted its forces in anticipation of the Project, with the effect of depriving an employee of
benefits to which the employee should be entitled under this arrangement, the provisions of
this arrangement shall apply to such employee as of the date when the employee was so
affected.

Planning Board Results:
On October 6, the Harnett County Planning Board voted table this Amendment (see attached
memo for further info).
Then, on November 3/ as a result of further discussion as well as changes to the concerning
insurance liability/ the Planning Board voted unanimously to recommend approval of this Text
Amendment application. Below are the member comments ...
Curtis Bullion
• Liked the Amendment as written and knew the Board of Adjustment would ensure a detailed evaluation
during the Conditional Use Permit process.
Everett Blake
• Liked the removal of the insurance liability policies.
• Liked the clarity of the regulations, which could, potentially lead to a shooting range and a residential
area coexisting.
Jay Smith
• Wanted to ensure that a P.E. was not absolutely needed if an individual had sufficient, relative
experience in designing a range, or environmental studies, etc. However, wanted to ensure
consistency with all regulations.
• Wanted to make sure other businesses/ industries were required to comply with the Noise Ordinance
regulations upon design/ permitting stages.
Carnell Robinson
• Liked the requirement of a certified design professional would be involved, thus hopefully reducing
possible liability issues with the County.
• Expressed concerns of safety & design capabilities from a military experienced person vs a P.E.;
typical military examples are only concerned with their immediate mission/ task as opposed to taking
into account surrounding residential issues & concerns.
Cris Nystrom
• Asked if the County incurred any external costs (ie ... consulting fee's) during this amendment process.
• In reference to section B #9; expressed concerns with the EPA being listed as a reference because he
felt they are sometimes too strict and overpowering with their regulations.
Rick Foster & Tom Kidd, two members of the review committee, also spoke in support of this
Amendment.
Suggested Statement-of-Consistency: (Staff concludes that...)
The requested Text Amendment is compatible with Harnett County regulatory documents and
would promote public health/ safety1 and general welfare of the County, as well as maintain
orderly and compatible land use and development patterns and encourage environmentally
responsible development practices, as described within the facility design and environmental
management sections of this document. Therefore/ it is recommended that this Text
Amendment request be APPROVED.
Included:
• current UDO text
• proposed UDO text
• Amendment Development & Review Summary memo
• Planning Board concerns & staff response memo

Amendment Development & Review Summary
In April of 2013, a review committee was formed for the purpose of
analyzing current County regulations regarding commercial firing
ranges. The proposed amendment is a result of the combined effort
of planning staff, professional range design engineers and
consultants, and a stakeholders group complied of elected and
appointed officials as well as range owners and concerned citizens.
A comprehensive review of current legislation was carefully analyzed
in comparison with other local, state, and national guidelines
regarding the development and operation of commercial firing
ranges. A field analysis was performed on existing ranges in order
to evaluate the effectiveness of current regulations. Extensive
research was performed on potential regulations, while careful
consideration was given to the current and projected developmental
growth patterns. During the drafting process, conversations with
professional range designers and local range operators assisted in
the development process.
A continued effort of research, analysis and review has produced
multiple draft versions of a proposed amendment. The review and
development committee is proposing that Draft # 13 be submitted
to the citizens of Harnett County by way of review from the Harnett
County Planning Board during a regularly scheduled meeting.

On October 6, 2014, the Harnett County Planning Board was presented with a proposed text amendment
regarding the regulation of Commercial Firing Ranges. The Board tabled the proposed amendment due to
questions related to the requirement of professional designers, engineers and industry technicians that
must be involved with the design, construction and monitoring of these types of facilities. The Board was
concerned if the requirement of mandating insurance coverage was justifiable and if this requirement
would place the County into a position of being involved in a legal dispute or lawsuit.
Planning Board Requests
Staff has been asked to verify the following requirements placed in the proposed amendment:
• Ability to require Liability Insurance
• Ability to have the County named in a liability policy as an additional insured party.
• The direct need for technical design, review and monitoring of firing range facilities.
Staff Findings I Response
Staff has consulted with the staff attorney and human resources I risk management coordinator regarding
the mandatory insurance coverage requirements. The requirement of having the County added to the
policy as an additional insured party would not be necessary nor would it be enforceable due to the
County not having a financial interest in the facility. The mandatory requirement of having the owner
carry a specified limit of liability insurance has the ability to create a situation that could involve the
County in a suit involving the facility. The research committee and consultant involved in the research
and drafting of the proposed amendment, feel that this type of facility would require professional design
and construction to ensure the safety and welfare of the citizens of the County. In order for the facility to
comply with the Harnett County Noise Ordinance, a professional in the field of acoustics would have to
be involved due to the technical requirements involving the assessment and containment of sound within
specified areas. The committee feels that this type of facility would also require the mandatory testing
and monitoring of soils and storm water due to the ability of contamination and environmental impacts
that could affect the citizens of the County.
Staff Recommendations
• Require the professional design and assessment of firing range facilities as proposed.
• Delete the requirement of liability insurance from the proposed amendment.

Special Project Activity
October 2014
New
Planning Staff has completed the proposed “Commercial Firing Range” regulations, which received an approved
recommendation at Harnett County Planning Board on November 3, 2014. It will now be forwarded and presented to the
Harnett County Commissioners on November 17, 2014.
Planning Staff has chosen Land Design, Inc. as the Land Use Planning Consultant for the New Harnett County
Comprehensive Growth Plan.
Ongoing
Planning Staff completed a Firearms & Explosive Discharge Ordinance for the Harnett County Sheriff’s Department.
Staff has formed a stakeholders committee, which consists of members from the community. As a result from the
committee’s initial meeting, a questionnaire/survey was created and sent out. The results from the survey/questionnaire
were compiled and sent out in October. A second committee meeting was held to discuss these results and amend the
Discharge Ordinance draft. Also, the firearms and explosive will be two different ordinances and these drafts will be
going to the Planning Board on January 5, 2015.
In respect to a NC Wildlife Resources Grant received by the County, Planning Staff is working with our specific
contractors for each portion of the grant as well as providing hard data for their use. A curriculum has been formatted by
Sustainable Sandhills, and children are currently being recruited to participate in these activities. Land Design, Inc. is
approximately 80% complete on their tasks of interactive mapping and key area location. We anticipate both portions of
this process to be complete within 4 months. This grant has helped us parlay these resources into the proposed Land Use
Plan.
