At this time Chairman Burgin read the following prepared statement:
"On Feb. 9, 2016, the Harnett County Board of Commissioners was notified by Harnett
County Sheriff Larry Rollins in closed session of his plans to resign the office of sheriff
effective March 21, 2016, at 5 p.m.
According to Section 162 -5 of the North Carolina General Statutes, it is the responsibility
of the county board of commissioners to select a replacement to serve the remainder of a
sheriff's vacated term at the next board meeting following the sheriff's resignation.
We take our responsibility in this matter very seriously and in selecting a new sheriff, we
had the following goals in mind:
• To select a qualified and capable candidate to serve out the remainder
of Sheriff Rollins' term.
• To maintain continuity in the Harnett County Sheriff's Office until such
a time as the citizens of Harnett County have the opportunity to elect a
new sheriff.
• To make sure the process for selecting a new sheriff is fair and efficient.
With these goals in mind, the Harnett County Board of Commissioners interviewed the
three sheriff's majors who currently serve the Harnett County's Sheriff's Office. From
these interviews, the board has selected Maj. Wayne Coats to serve out the remainder of
Sheriff Rollins' term as Harnett County Sheriff. The next election for Harnett County
Sheriff will be held Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2018.
In selecting Maj. Coats as sheriff, the board considered his 22 years of law enforcement
experience with 20 of those years spent with the Harnett County Sheriff's Office, first as a
deputy assigned to Campbell University and then as an employee working his way up
through the Sheriff's Office, as well as the level of respect that other members of the
Sheriff's Office have for him, and his dedication to serving the citizens of Harnett County.
We look forward to working with Sheriff Coats, and we thank Sheriff Rollins for his
service and wish him well."
Commissioner McKoy moved that:
1) the Board of Commissioners acknowledge the receipt of Larry W. Rollins' resignation
as Sheriff of Harnett County effective March 21, 2016 at 5:00 p.m.; and

2) Major Wayne A. Coats of the Harnett County Sheriffs Department be elected by the
Harnett County Board of Commissioners as Sheriff of Harnett County for the
remainder of Sheriff Larry W. Rollins' term of office.
This motion is made pursuant to the provisions of N.C. G.S. Section 162 -3 and 5. Commissioner
Elmore seconded the motion which passed unanimously.
Sheriff Wayne Coats addressed the group. Vice Chairman Springle thanked Commissioner
McKoy for her leadership in selecting the new sheriff.
Chairman Burgin recognized Angier Mayor Lewis Weatherspoon.
Chairman Burgin opened the floor for informal comments by the public, allowing up to 3
minutes for each presentation up to 30 minutes.
- Cris Nystrom of 391 Center Lane in Bunnlevel addressed the group. He said our leadership
must have a united vision. Mr. Nystrom asked commissioners to always reach out to the
citizens, hear their concerns, formulate plans and let their actions always reflect the will of
the people.
- Jimmy McCormick of 713 McCormick Road in Sanford said the new Benhaven Elementary
School is waiting to be constructed. Mr. McCormick said it's been some months since the
land was transferred to the School Board. He urged whatever differences that the
commissioners and School Board have that it might be worked out quickly so our children
don't have to wait in an old old building that we know has mold and many things that are not
healthy for children.
Commissioner Miller moved to approve the appointments listed below. Commissioner Elmore
seconded the motion which passed unanimously.
Harnett Health System Board of Trustees

Mr. Hocutt introduced Instructor Brian Heath who teaches this program at Western Harnett High
School. Past academy students Alex Wilkins and Jake Field addressed the board as to what the
program has done for them. Mr. Hocutt, who teaches this program at Harnett Central High
School, will again take students to compete in Skills USA this year. Last year Mr. Hocutt took
22 high school students to Skills USA and out of 63 participants Harnett County took the top 15
slots.
Mr. Hocutt said their class enrollment is growing and 35 students are currently enrolled in the
program. He said other schools want to visit Harnett County to understand their success with the
program. He also said if it wasn't for donations from fire departments and local companies they
couldn't do all that they do. Mr. Hocutt called upon CT Director Lynn Hartley who presented a
thank you plaque to Erwin Fire Department's Chief Wilkins and Chief Pope for their donation of
a fire truck and support to the academy.
Mark Locklear, Director of Harnett County Development Services, petitioned the Board for a
public hearing — Proposed Zoning Change: Case # RZ- 16 -04; Landowner /Applicant: Harriet
Marshall & Vivian Clark Chance et al/Erwin McNeill, Harold Gilchrist, The Smith Heirs, etc.
12.7 +/- acres out of a 27.17 acre tract; Pin #9594 -35 -2653; From RA -20R to Commercial; NC
Hwy 24/87; Anderson Creek Township. Mr. Locklear noted on February 1, 2016 the Harnett
County Planning Board voted unanimously (5 -0) to recommend approval of this Rezoning
application based on compatibility to the surrounding properties as well as adjacent zoning
district.
Mr. Locklear reported the site is currently wooded, and located adjacent to the new Wal -Mart
shopping area. Surrounding land uses include single family residential homes and residential
subdivisions, undeveloped and federally owned land. A variety of commercial development is
within close proximity. Harnett County public water and sewer are available. Mr. Locklear
noted as required for all zoning changes within a five mile radius of Fort Bragg, the Regional
Land Use Advisory Commission was contacted and did not have any comments.
Mr. Locklear stated staffs 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: In the vicinity of the subject property, non-
residential development has progressed at a stable pace. The requested rezoning
change to Commercial will not have a negative impact on the surrounding properties
or the community as it is similar in nature to certain existing zoning districts in the
area.
The requested zoning district is COMPATIBLE with the existing Land Use
Classification. REASONING: The requested zoning is compatible with the existing
land use classification of Compact Mixed Use. The Compact Mixed activity centers
are "growing areas of the county ". They encourage a different combination of uses
such as: commercial, civic, institutional, as well as single family and multi- family
developments.
March 21, 2016, Regular Meeting Minutes
Harnett County Board of Commissioners
Page 6 of 9
The proposal does ENHANCE or maintain the public health, safety and general
welfare. REASONING: The proposed commercial zoning is more appropriate for
this site due to properties to the North and South zoned commercial as well as the
adjacent property. The proposed zoning would enhance the public health and general
welfare.
This request is NOT for a SMALL SCALE REZONING and should not be evaluated
for reasonableness. REASONING: This request does not need to be evaluated for a
small scale rezoning due to the property's size as well as it being adjacent to the
proposed zoning district.
Suggested Statement -of- Consistency: Staff concludes that the requested rezoning to Commercial
is compatible with Harnett County regulatory documents and would not have an unreasonable
impact on the surrounding community and will enhance the public health, safety, and general
welfare for the reasons stated in the evaluation. It is recommended that this rezoning request be
approved.
Chairman Burgin called to order a public hearing on the matter and opened the meeting for
comments from the public.
- Applicant Erwin McNeil of 6 Long Leaf Circle in Cameron spoke in favor of the
rezoning request.
Seeing no one else move, Chairman Burgin closed the public hearing. Commissioner Elmore
moved to approve the rezoning as presented. Commissioner McKoy seconded the motion which
passed unanimously.
Mr. Locklear petitioned the board for a public hearing — UDO Text Amendment to Article V
(Use Regulations), Section 1.2 (Table of Use Types and Regulations). Mr. Locklear explained
the reason for the change is to allow Recycling & Solid Waste Convenient Sites to exist, via a
conditional use permit, within the Office & Institutional and RA -40 zoning districts. Mr.
Locklear noted after a discussion at their March 7, 2016 meeting, the Harnett County Planning
Board voted unanimously (5 -0) to recommend approval of this proposed text amendment.
Suggested Statement -of- Consistency: Staff concludes that the requested text amendment is
compatible with Harnett County regulatory documents, and the benefits outweigh any potential
inconvenience or harm to the community, particularly since a conditional use permit would be
required. Therefore, it is recommended that this text amendment be approved.
Chairman Burgin called to order a public hearing on the matter and opened the meeting for
comments from the public.
- An unidentified citizen spoke from the audience. He asked why this change is being
made. Mr. Locklear responded Harnett County Solid Waste wants to locate a convenient
site in a zoning classification that currently doesn't allow for such. This change would
give them the opportunity to apply for a conditional use permit through the Harnett
County Board of Adjustment.
Seeing no one move, Chairman Burgin closed the public hearing. Vice Chairman Springle
moved to approve the UDO text amendment as presented. Commissioner Miller seconded the
motion which passed unanimously. (Attachment 3)

Mr. Locklear petitioned the board for a public hearing - UDO Text Amendment to Article IV
(Zoning & Overlay Districts), Section 14.1.10 (Building Height, Required), Section 14.3.5
(Compatibility Design Concept Table); Article V (Use Regulations), Section 1.2 (Table of Use
Types and Regulations), Section 3.2.1 (Multifamily Residential Development: General
Regulations), Section 8.2.3 (Manufacturing, Light), Section 11.8.3 (Planned Unit Development
Design Guidelines); Article VII Development Design Guidelines, Section 4.0 (Sidewalk
Standards). Mr. Locklear explained the proposed text amendment is to update the U.D.O. with
the current Land Use classifications as listed in the new Comprehensive Land Use Plan, He said
this is basically a clean-up because once the new Land Use Plan was adopted the language didn't
"mesh" with our U.D.O. classifications which were based off of the old land use plan.
Chairman Burgin called to order a public hearing on the matter and opened the meeting for
comments from the public. Seeing no one move, Chairman Burgin closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Elmore moved to approve the UDO text amendments as presented.
Commissioner McKoy seconded the motion which passed unanimously. (Attachment 4)
Harnett County Finance Officer Kimberly Honeycutt petitioned the board for a public hearing
concerning the approval of the execution, delivery and performance of the Contract and the Deed

amount not to exceed $2,200,000 to finance all or a portion of the projects identified as eligible
"Qualified School Construction Bond projects" (2) executing and delivering a deed of trust,
security agreement and fixture filing related to all or a portion of the County's fee simple interest
in the real property. Chairman Burgin noted this money was left over after we setup the

Chairman Burgin called to order a public hearing on the matter and opened the meeting for
comments from the public. Seeing no one move, Chairman Burgin closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Miller moved to approve the execution, delivery and performance of the Contract
and the Deed of Trust and the projects to be financed. Vice Chairman Springle seconded the
motion which passed unanimously.
Mrs. Honeycutt petitioned the board for a public hearing concerning the approval of the
execution, delivery and performance of the New Contract and the New Deed of Trust and
the projects to be refinanced thereby. The Board of Commissioners of the County of
Harnett, North Carolina considered approval to authorize the County to proceed to enter
into a deed of trust, security agreement and fixture filing under which the County will
grant a lien on the real property. Mrs. Honeycutt also requested award of the refinancing
of the 2009 Certificates of Participation (COPS), $29,075,000, to Regions Bank who
submitted an interest rate of 2.20 %. Mrs. Honeycutt noted this refinancing would result
in saving of $1.8 million over the next 13 years.
Chairman Burgin called to order a public hearing on the matter and opened the meeting for
comments from the public. Seeing no one move, Chairman Burgin closed the public hearing.

To Harnett County, NC
From Davenport & Company LLC
Date March 21, 2016
Subject 2016 Refinancing of 2009 Certificates of Participation RFP Summary
Davenport Public Finance
Independence Center
101 N. Tryon Street Ste. 1220
Charlotte, NC 28246
Background
Davenport & Company LLC ( "Davenport "), on behalf of Harnett County, NC (the "County "), distributed a
Request for Proposals ( "RFP ") to secure a Direct Bank Loan to advance refund all or a portion of the County's
outstanding Certificates of Participation, Series 2009 (the "2009 COPs ") and fund the associated Costs of
Issuance.
The RFP was distributed to over 35 National, Regional, and Local Banks. After the initial distribution,
Davenport contacted each of the potential bidders to assess their interest in the financing and address any
questions they had.
The RFP also requested that responding institutions provide interest rate proposals for two different funding
scenarios. These scenarios were designed to provide the County with the option to either refund just the
callable maturities of the 2009 COPs (6/1/2020 - 6/1/2029) or refund all outstanding maturities of the
2009 COPs (6/1/2016 - 6/1/2029). A summary of the scenarios requested is outlined below:
- Option A:
- Option B:
Refund the callable maturities of the 2009 COPs
Refund all outstanding maturities of the 2009 COPs
RFP Responses
Through this process, the County was able to secure four responses to the RFP, including:
1. Capital One Public Funding ( "Capital One ");
2. PNC Public Finance ( "PNC ");
3. Raymond James Capital Funding ( "Raymond James "); and
4. Regions Capital Advantage ( "Regions ").
The following pages contain a summary of the key terms and conditions for each of the responses received.

2016 Refinancing of 2009 Certificates of Participation RFP
Summary
March 21, 2016
Discussion Points
1. Interest Rate
While all four banks submitted proposals consistent with the RFP specifications, Raymond James and Regions
offered the lowest interest rates, as shown in Table 1 below. The rates offered by all of the banks are fixed
through the final maturity of the loan and will be held firm for a closing by April 22 2016.
Table 1: Summary of Interest Rates
Interest Rate
Bank Final Maturity Rates Held Firm Through
Option A Option B
Raymond James 2.41% 2.28% 6/1/2029 April 22nd
Regions N/A 2.37% 6/1/2029 April 22nd
2.20 %1
PNC 2.67% 2.48% 6/1/2029 April 22nd
Capital One 2.95% 2.65% 6/1/2029 April 22nd
1 Rate available if the County agrees to establish commercial card with Regions within 120 days of loan closing.
2. Prepayment Provisions
Prepayment provisions offered by the four bank proposals are shown in Table 2 below.
Table 2: Summary of Prepayment Provisions
Bank
Raymond James
Prepayment Provisions
Prior to June 1, 2026: Non- callablel
Thereafter: In whole or in part on any payment date at Pare
Regions In whole or in part at any time at 101%
PNC Make -whole calla
Capital One Option A - No call until 06/01/22, then at par on any interest payment date
Option B - No call until 06/01/23, then at par on any interest payment date
Prior to this date, the loan may not be prepaid in whole or in part without consent of the Lender.
2 Partial prepayments shall be applied in inverse order of maturity and shall be subject to a minimum amount of $500,000.
3 A make -whole call will allow the County to prepay or pay off the loan prior to maturity; however, it effectively eliminates the potential to achieve any
future debt service savings.

3. Collateral
The 2009 COPs are currently secured by a Deed of Trust and security interest in both Boone Trail Elementary
School and Harnett Central High School (the "Facilities "). Under Option A, the County would continue to secure
the loan with both Boone Trail Elementary School and Harnett Central High School. Option B allows the County
to potentially release one of the pledged Facilities. A summary of the proposed collateral requirements for
Option B is found in Table 3 below.

Not Specified
Regions' proposal included a lower interest rate option, should the County establish a commercial card
program with Regions. Based on discussions with County Staff, it is Davenport's understanding that the County
was already in the process of pursuing a commercial card program with Regions prior to the distribution of the
RFP. As such, the lower interest rate option provided by Regions is a viable option for the County to consider.

5. Estimated Savings
A preliminary indication of the estimated savings structure for the Regions Option B 2.20% proposal is shown
in Table 4 below. These savings are compared to current public market estimates and the Raymond James
proposals to provide additional perspective. The preliminary estimated savings shown in Table 4 are "Net
Savings" that account for estimated costs of issuance and negative arbitrage.

Summary
March 21, 2016
Recommendation
Based upon our review of the proposals, related analyses, and discussions with County Staff and Bond
Counsel, Davenport recommends that the County select the Regions Option B proposal with a 2.20% interest
rate. The Regions proposal offers the lowest interest rate and the highest Debt Service Savings compared to
the other bank proposals and the estimated current public markets. Additionally, the Regions proposal
provides the County the opportunity to prepay the loan, if desired.

2016 Refinancing of 2009 Certificates of Participation RFP
Summary
March 21, 2016
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC ") has clarified that a broker, dealer or municipal securities dealer engaging in municipal
advisory activities outside the scope of underwriting a particular issuance of municipal securities should be subject to municipal advisor registration.
Davenport & Company LLC ( "Davenport") has registered as a municipal advisor with the SEC. As a registered municipal advisor Davenport may provide
advice to a municipal entity or obligated person. An obligated person is an entity other than a municipal entity, such as a not for profit corporation, that
has commenced an application or negotiation with an entity to issue municipal securities on its behalf and for which it will provide support. If and when
an issuer engages Davenport to provide financial advisory or consultant services with respect to the issuance of municipal securities, Davenport is
obligated to evidence such a financial advisory relationship with a written agreement.
When acting as a registered municipal advisor Davenport is a fiduciary required by federal law to act in the best interest of a municipal entity without
regard to its own financial or other interests. Davenport is not a fiduciary when it acts as a registered investment advisor, when advising an obligated
person, or when acting as an underwriter, though it is required to deal fairly with such persons.
This material was prepared by public finance, or other non - research personnel of Davenport. This material was not produced by a research analyst,
although it may refer to a Davenport research analyst or research report. Unless otherwise indicated, these views (if any) are the author's and may
differ from those of the Davenport fixed income or research department or others in the firm. Davenport may perform or seek to perform financial
advisory services for the issuers of the securities and instruments mentioned herein.
This material has been prepared for information purposes only and is not a solicitation of any offer to buy or sell any security /instrument or to
participate in any trading strategy. Any such offer would be made only after a prospective participant had completed its own independent investigation
of the securities, instruments or transactions and received all information it required to make its own investment decision, including, where applicable,
a review of any offering circular or memorandum describing such security or instrument. That information would contain material information not
contained herein and to which prospective participants are referred. This material is based on public information as of the specified date, and may be
stale thereafter. We have no obligation to tell you when information herein may change. We make no representation or warranty with respect to the
completeness of this material. Davenport has no obligation to continue to publish information on the securities /instruments mentioned herein.
Recipients are required to comply with any legal or contractual restrictions on their purchase, holding, sale, exercise of rights or performance of
obligations under any securities /instruments transaction.
The securities /instruments discussed in this material may not be suitable for all investors or issuers. Recipients should seek independent financial
advice prior to making any investment decision based on this material. This material does not provide individually tailored investment advice or offer
tax, regulatory, accounting or legal advice. Prior to entering into any proposed transaction, recipients should determine, in consultation with their own
investment, legal, tax, regulatory and accounting advisors, the economic risks and merits, as well as the legal, tax, regulatory and accounting
characteristics and consequences, of the transaction. You should consider this material as only a single factor in making an investment decision.
The value of and income from investments and the cost of borrowing may vary because of changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, default
rates, prepayment rates, securities /instruments prices, market indexes, operational or financial conditions or companies or other factors. There may be
time limitations on the exercise of options or other rights in securities /instruments transactions. Past performance is not necessarily a guide to future
performance and estimates of future performance are based on assumptions that may not be realized. Actual events may differ from those assumed
and changes to any assumptions may have a material impact on any projections or estimates. Other events not taken into account may occur and may
significantly affect the projections or estimates. Certain assumptions may have been made for modeling purposes or to simplify the presentation
and /or calculation of any projections or estimates, and Davenport does not represent that any such assumptions will reflect actual future events.
Accordingly, there can be no assurance that estimated returns or projections will be realized or that actual returns or performance results will not
materially differ from those estimated herein. This material may not be sold or redistributed without the prior written consent of Davenport.
