Duke Energy Community College Grant Program
c/o Foundation for the Carolinas
220 North Tryon Street
Charlotte, NC 28202
Dear Members of the Selection Committee:
On behalf of the Harnett County Board of Commissioners, I am pleased to express my
strong support for Central Carolina Community College's efforts to become a regional leader in
education and training related to advanced manufacturing. The College's grant project will build
upon the solid foundations that it has established in recent years for training workforce-ready
students in a variety of advanced manufacturing programs. By integrating state-of-the-art
equipment and leadership training into these programs, and by expanding the numbers of
students it serves, ecce will address a pressing need in the advanced manufacturing workforce,
while greatly enhancing the long-term employability and earnings potential of its students.
In recognition of this project's merit and value, the Harnett County Board of
Commissioners will be pleased to support Central Carolina Community College's grant project
in the following ways:
• Attendance at periodic meetings of the project Leadership Team and recommendation
of additional Team members from the local business sector
• Development oflocal industries' awareness ofCCCC advanced manufacturing
programs and of the quality oftheir graduates
• Consultation with CCCC project managers regarding potential industry partners for
the purposes of curriculum refinement, work-based learning, and job placement
• Outreach to firms considering relocation to the area, to emphasize the quality of
ecce training in relation to advanced manufacturing fields
As one of the chief entities promoting the economic development of Harnett County, we
are highly enthusiastic about the concept for this proposed project, and equally confident, based
on long experience, in Central Carolina Community College's capacity to implement it for the
good of individual students and of the area economy.
Thank you for your close consideration of the College's proposal.
Sincerely,
Jim Burgin, Chairman

Cc: CCCC Grants
Subject: CCCC Duke Grant -Letter of Support
Good Afternoon,
As promised, please find a draft of a letter of support for the College's Duke Grant Proposal attached.
As I mentioned in our conversation, Central Carolina is pursuing this grant in order to update several of our
advanced manufacturing programs to reflect industry needs within our tri-county service area.
This funding, if received, would purchase equipment for Laser and Photonics, Computer Integrated Machining,
and Welding/Industrial Systems Technologies. In addition, it would allow CCCC to establish Manufacturing
Academy, made of several leadership/quality certifications, at our Innovation Center -which would benefit the
employees of local industries.
Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns you may have.
Warm Regards ,
Meghan

Harnett Regional Jetport-Runway 5 Clearance Project
NCDOT/DOA & FAA Funded
Update to October 14, 2014 work session whereas board members requested Airport
Administrator bring grant application to full board when funds became available.
The NCDOT November 2014 Transportation board approved the necessary grant funding to
clear approximately 9 acres at the RWY 5 end of Harnett Regional Jetport's runway. This is
necessary to maintain proper & safe aircraft approaches for RWY 5. Without addressing
identified obstructions, the FAA may curtail night takeoff and landing operations on RWY 5 (the
predominant runway end) until the sponsor (county) removes obstructions.
Airport Administrator requests to present grant application on the December 15th BOC meeting.
The grant amount is $245,000 with a 10% local match. The local match will be divided between
Capital Reserve ($2,170) and Fund Balance Appropriation ($22,330). This a NCDOT pre-
approved application therefore, administrator will request approval to apply, and acceptance of
grants funds upon NCDOT/DOA approval.

Additional Comments
Same as Randolph. We, too, have occasional joint meetings
and special meetings. Early in the new year, there will be a
mid-year retreat, which usually lasts half a day, as well as
budget retreats (half day each, up to three or four, in the
spring).
Our board votes on a meeting scheduled for the following
year at its October meeting. No work sessions. Only one
regular meeting on the ftrst Monday, unless scheduled
otherwise. We do have occasional special joint meetings or
public hearings that have to be scheduled at other than
regular meeting times.
in March-the 3rd Monday because of the NACo conference
which is normally the 1st week of March
July, August, September & December -meet the 1st
Monday due to summer & hol iday schedules. This
sometimes makes for a long meeting in the months we have
one meeting, but it has worked well. We do not have
separate work sessions and we call special meetings if
necessary.
In Wake, we routinely have 2 regular meetings and 1 special
meeting (work session). The work sessions are held to
discuss big items that will eventually be on the regular
meeting agenda but need some background and more details
than have time for in a regular meeting. Work sessions have
included topics such as LMEs, Market studies on salaries,
changes in health care, etc. and how the county is impacted.
We meet the first and third Mondays only unless a need for
an additional meeting comes up. We'd love to move to one
evening meeting and one morning meeting, but for now we
meet at 7pm .
Iredell County traditionally me et twice monthly, first and
third Tuesday. However, they nonnally cancel the first
meeting in July each year and the first meeting in November
in Election years. They have an all-day fall planning session
usually in November and a winter planning session (1 1/2
days) usually in February. They also h ave 3-5 extra budget
meetings in April and May.
Typically two regular meetings per month, 1 day and 1 night
meeting; We typically h ave about three work sessions during
budget process and specia l meetings at least once p er year
each with the Board of Educati on, Rox boro City Council,
Economic De velopment Commission, etc.
They have a Zoning Public Hearing the first Monday of the
month, an Informational Meeting the first Thursday of the
month (traditionally on items that require discussion and no
vote, used to introduce items that may be set for a
subsequent meeting) and regular meetings on the 2nd a nd
4th Tu esdays.
We a lways meet the first and third Monday of each month (6
pm now but that time may be changed for next year). Work
sessions and specia l meeting s are addressed as needed

County Regular Meetings Additional Comments
Bertie twice monthly, the first During certain months (not many) our Board meets for work
and third Mondays of sessions/retreats, as well as for Public Hearings scheduled
each month outside of a regular Board meeting. For example, during this
month, our Board will have met for two regularly scheduled
meetings, as well as for a public hearing, and a work session
Warren 1st Monday for regular As needed for special meetings (usually 3 or 4 per year)
meetings, 3ro Wednesday
every other month for
work sessions
Johnston first Monday of each Our Board meets on the first Monday of each month. We
month, two regular hold two regular meetings that same day. One at 10:00 am
meetings that same day, for regular business (Public Utilities, Economic
10:00 am and 6:00 pm Development, Misc. public hearings, Misc. groups wishing to
address the Board, Finance, Appointments, etc.) and then
we meet again at 6:00 p.m. that evening for
rezoning/special use cases, any land development
ordinance public hearings, and other items as needed
(typically the evening meeting is geared towards land use
items, but we allow for other things if specifically requ ested
due to some reason they can't come at 10:00 am meeting).
We also hold Public Comment sections at the beginning of
both meetings . We hold an annual work session (it's really
an annual retreat, but our Board refers to it as a "work
session") sometime during February or March. Most of the
time it's a one day work session, but we have carried over
into 2 days. We hold special meetings as needed, but
usually only when something just absolutely can't wait until
the next regular meeting.
