Harnett County 2019-20 Legislative Priorities
February 4, 2019
1. Assist Harnett County in Expanding Broadband Access in Underserved Areas (State and
Federal)
Many portions of Harnett County do not currently have access to broadband. This is another significant
barrier to economic growth in the county. Harnett County asks for assistance in developing
infrastructure and providing broadband to underserved areas within the county.
2. Address Disparities Related to Impact Aid Money for Military -Related Students (Federal)
Even though Harnett County has a significant percentage of military -related students in it school system,
the County receives considerably less in federal funding per student than do surrounding counties.
Harnett County seeks additional funding to support the education of these students and reduce the
burden on the County's taxpayers.
3. Support Efforts to Expand Natural Gas Capacity (State)
Access to natural gas is a basic requirement for many industries and businesses looking for sites to
locate new facilities. Despite a massive population influx in western Harnett County, a lack of access to
natural gas has prevented the commercial and industrial growth that would normally accompany these
increases in population. Harnett County seeks assistance in identifying ways to expand natural gas
capacity throughout the county.
4. Assist County with Developing Economic Development Products (State)
Harnett County currently lacks existing buildings for industrial prospects. Over the last six months, this as
resulted in the inability to respond to 20 out of 23 economic development prospects due to the lack of a
sufficient product. An increasing number of site searches involving greenfields require the sites to be
certified. Harnett County does not currently have any certified sites. Harnett County Economic
Development requests assistance in funding the development of shell buildings and certifying sites, which
will allow the County to compete for more business and industry to bring increased prosperity to the
County's residents.
5. Grant County Boards of Commissioners the Ability to Construct Schools (State)
The Harnett County Board of Commissioners asks for the authority to construct schools, which will assist
the county in efforts to reduce existing and future issues with overcrowding. Currently, only the Board
of Education has this authority.
We request the restoration of state aid funding of public libraries to the pre -2011 level of $15.7 million,
as well as the elimination of special provisions that distribute state aid outside of the equitable formula
developed by the State Library Commission.
Provide Additional Funding for School Security Measures (State and Federal)
Few schools across the state were built with modern security needs in mind. The cost to modify schools
to address present-day threats is substantial. We ask for additional funding, possibly based on a funding
formula or that requires matching funds, to help counties address these security needs more rapidly
than is possible with current funding.
Possible Additions
Assist Harnett County in Funding its Veterans Treatment Court Program (State and Federal)
Harnett County's first -in -the -state Veterans Treatment Court (VTC) celebrated its fifth anniversary in
November. In its first five years of existence, the Harnett VTC has helped many veterans in Harnett
County and the greater region move past the scars of war to build fulfilling and productive lives back
home. The court is only one of four currently operating in North Carolina, and accepts any qualifying
veteran from across the state who has the ability to travel to the court's weekly sessions. The court
substantially expanded its reach in 2016 when it was awarded a three-year grant from the federal
government (SAMSA and BJA). The grant allowed for the hire of three full-time and three part-time staff,
and paid for much needed treatment services including one-on-one counseling which the veterans
would not be able to receive from the VA. The federal grant that has greatly enhanced Harnett County's
Veterans Treatment Court will run out in October 2019, and without additional federal or state support,
the entire expense of maintaining this program will fall to the County. We ask for additional support for
this program that provides invaluable services to veterans in Harnett County and across the State of
North Carolina.
Support the County's efforts to Enhance the Harnett Regional Jetport (State)
Harnett Regional Jetport is an economic engine for Harnett County. Over the past decade, the County
has extended the runway, improved and expanded the apron to allow for the airport's expansion.
Harnett County is preparing to make substantial investments into Harnett Regional Jetport in the form
of an additional apron expansion and a new $3 million terminal. We ask for any assistance that may be
available to offset these costs or to make additional enhancements in the future.
Assist Counties with efforts to Install Additional Gauges on Rivers for Public Safety Purposes
(State)
During Hurricane Florence, Harnett County experienced significant issues with river flooding, which
prompted evacuation orders along two rivers (the Cape Fear and Lower Little). Additional evacuations
may have been warranted, but the County had no way of knowing how high those rivers were going to
crest due to a lack of gauging equipment. River gauges are only installed on the Lower Little River and on
the Cape Fear River at the Lillington bridge. In the past, the gauges were cost prohibitive, however N.C.
Continue Support of Construction of Four Lane Highway into Wake County (State)
The lack of a four -lane highway connecting Harriett County to Wake County is seen as a significant
barrier to economic development in Harnett County. A four -lane highway into Woke County would have
a significant positive economic impact on Harnett County in terms of commercial and residential
development.
Reduce Waiting Period to Auction Livestock (State)
Harnett County Animal Services requests changes to current requirements for livestock auction and
adoption to reduce the burden on the County to hold and care for livestock Animal Services takes in.
Under current requirements, it con sometimes take 20 days to auction livestock, which imposes
significant burdens in terms of cost and space on the County. If the animals receive no bids, Animal
Services attempts to adopt them at minimal cost to residents. Animal Services requests reducing the 10 -
day waiting period to auction livestock to three days, which would reduce the stress on animals, as well
as the costs required to maintain the animals.
Preserve Maternal and Child Health Block Grant Funding
The Harnett County Health Department requests preservation of the Federal Maternal and Child Health
Block Grant. Since 2012, this grant has been reduced by more than $7 million. in the current fiscal year,
this reduction has resulted in a loss of $26,000 to Harnett County's Maternal and Child Health programs.
Increase Support of County Veterans Services Programs (State)
North Carolina currently provides some funding for the maintenance and operation of county Veterans
Services programs. This funding is currently capped at $2,000 per fiscal year per program. Harnett
County Veterans Services provides a valuable resource to the county's veteran population. The
department requests additional state support of its Veterans Services program.
Allow Firefighters at Non -Profit Departments Access to Local Government Retirement System
(State)
Harnett County and numerous other career non-profit fire departments are not permitted access to the
N.C. Local Governmental Employees' Retirement System. This creates a situation where these
departments become a training ground for career firefighters who, following training, move on to
municipal and county agencies to be eligible for the retirement system. Since 1998, the N.C. State
Firefighters Association has petitioned the IRS to allow career firefighters employed by non-profit fire
departments access to the retirement system. Harnett County Emergency Services asks for this change.
Consider Allocating Funding for District Attorney Positions Based on Case Load (State)
We ask for consideration of funding allocation for District Attorney positions in prosecutorial districts
based on the case load in each district
Harnett County 2018-19 Legislative Priorities
February 5, 2018
1. Assist Harnett County in Expanding Broadband Access in Underserved Areas
Many portions of Harnett County do not currently have access to broadband. This is another significant
barrier to economic growth in the county. Harnett County asks for assistance in developing
infrastructure and providing broadband to underserved areas within the county.
2. Address Disparities Related to Funding Formula for Military -Related Students
Even though Harnett County has a substantial percentage of military -related students in its school
system, the County receives considerably less in federal funding per student than do surrounding
counties. Harnett County seeks increased funding to support the education of these students and
reduce the burden on the County's taxpayers.
3. Support Efforts to Expand Natural Gas Capacity
Access to natural gas is a basic requirement for many industries and businesses looking for sites to
locate new facilities. Despite a significant population growth in western Harnett County, a lack of access
to natural gas has prevented the commercial and industrial growth that would normally accompany
these increases in population. Harnett County seeks assistance in identifying ways to expand natural gas
capacity throughout the county.
4. Assist County with Developing Economic Development Products
Harnett County currently lacks attractive buildings and sites for industrial prospects. Over the last six
months, this has resulted in the inability to respond to 20 out of 23 economic development prospects
due to the lack of a sufficient product. An increasing number of site searches involving greenfields
require the sites to be certified. Harnett County does not currently have any certified sites. Harnett
County Economic Development requests assistance in funding the development of shell buildings and
certifying sites, which will allow the County to compete for more business and industry to bring
increased opportunity and prosperity to the county's residents.
5. Grant County Boards of Commissioners the Ability to Construct Schools
The Harnett County Board of Commissioners asks for the authority to construct schools, which will assist
the county in efforts to reduce existing and future issues with overcrowding. Currently, only the Board
of Education has this authority.
AIIow Counties to Enact Impact Fees to Support Public Education
Similar to the recreation fees which are received for new development in the county, Harnett County
requests the ability to enact additional fees on new development that assist in funding public education
in the county. The County is interested in finding a solution that addresses this issue without putting an
added burden on the county's developers such as charging the fee only when a property is sold.
Preserve Maternal and Child Health Block Grant Funding
The Harnett County Health Department requests preservation of the Federal Maternal and Child Health
Block Grant. Since 2012, this grant has been reduced by more than $7 million. In the current fiscal year,
this reduction has resulted in a loss of $26,000 to Harnett County's Maternal and Child Health programs.
Increase Support of County Veterans Services Programs
North Carolina currently provides some funding for the maintenance and operation of county Veterans
Services programs. This funding is currently capped at $2,000 per fiscal year per program. Harnett
County Veterans Services provides a valuable resource to the county's veteran population. The
department requests additional state support of its Veterans Services program.
AIIow Firefighters at Non -Profit Departments Access to Local Government Retirement System
Firefighters in Harnett County and numerous other career non-profit fire departments are not permitted
access to the N.C. Local Governmental Employees' Retirement System. This creates a situation where
these departments become training grounds for career firefighters who, following training, move on to
