4. Sole source purchasing option to lease/purchase Computer Aided Dispatching
(CAD) Mobile Data and Paging Software from VisionAir. VisionAir is our current
CAD software provider. VisionAir is the only vendor that can provide these
enhancements compatible with Harnett County's current CAD software. The Mobile
Data Software will give all Police, Fire, and EMS vehicles the capability to have silent
dispatch, mapping in the vehicle, automatic vehicle location, and constant
communications with the dispatch center. CAD Paging will allow all Police, Fire, and
EMS personnel to receive emergency calls through their personal cell phones or
pagers. The total cost of this project is $62,707.00. The finance Department will be
assisting the MIS Department with a 5-year lease/purchase agreement for the amount
of $48,119.50. The remaining amount of$14,587.50 will be paid by the Harnett
County Sheriff s Department.
5. Sole source purchasing option to lease/purchase the Simon E-911 Telephone
System from Sprint. This will upgrade the existing 4-position Positron lAP's E-911
Telephone System with a 6-position Simon E-911 Telephone System. This upgrade
also includes the Positron's E-printer Software and upgrade to the existing Call
Reporter plus Software to the latest version. The Positron LifeLine 100 will also be
upgraded to Version 2.43. This upgrade also includes an additional Computer Aided
Dispatch software license. The additional workstations will not require additional
personnel. One workstation will be for the current call taker and the other one will be
a training position. The total cost of this project is $125,254.64. The Finance
Department will be assisting the MIS Department with a 5-year lease/purchase
agreement.
6. Rail Industrial Access Agreement - On behalf of Brainerd Chemical Corp., a
request was filed with North Carolina Department of Transportation Rail Division for
funds to reinstall a rail spur at the old ADM building in Dunn. At DOT's October
meeting a grant in the amount of $52,500 was approved for the Brainerd Chemical
Corp. rail spur. The total project cost will be approximately $150,000. Brainerd
Chemical will pick up the difference in cost. This agreement will be between Harnett
County and NC DOT Rail Division and the funds will be issued to Harnett County to
be applied toward the project.
7. Resolution recognizing Eagle Scout Casper Brent Johnson, Jr. (Attachment 2)
8. Maintenance and Support Work Order for the new billing and collections system in
the Tax Department. The new system was implemented in July, 2004 with no
structured support agreement in place. The vendor of the system, Intelligent
Information Systems (lIS), Durham, NC, has requested that the County enter into this
maintenance and support agreement for this fiscal year. There is a cap on the contract
in Section 11 of$35,000. The Tax Office budgeted $21,000 for these services. A
budget amendment may be required for the remaining $14,000.
9. Agreement of Participation with the North Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice
& Delinquency Prevention - Americorps Promise Fellows Program for a part-time
position to assist the One-On-One Coordinator with recruitment and training of
volunteers. The NC Department of Juvenile Justice will fund the position. Harnett
County will furnish worksite and computer, both of which are available in the General
Services Office Building.
10. Agreement with RBC Centura Bank for retaillockbox services for Public Utilities
and the Tax Department. The agreement will include a fixed monthly charge of
$800.00 for the Tax Department and $1,500.00 for Public Utilities. Advantages of
moving the service from BB&T to RBC Centura Bank are: funds will be deposited
nightly into the County's account instead of weekly; and funds deposited into the
County's account will earn interest. A bid was also received from First Citizens Bank.
11. Resolution - LIFEP AK 12 monitor/defibrillator declared surplus and EMS
authorized to sell it using the "Private Sale" General Statute. The piece of equipment
was acquired from the Angier-Black River transition. The Harnett County EMS uses
the Zoll-M brand of monitor and does not need the LIFEP AK 12. It can not be
purchased by the general public. (Attachment 3)

Chairman Byrd called to order a public hearing on a zoning change request for Garnett
Jackson Estate, applicant: Larry Godwin, Executor. Chairman Byrd called on Mark
Locklear, Senior Planner, for the presentation. Mr. Locklear reviewed the request to
change 17.39 acres, SR 1811-Bud Hawkins Road from RA-30 to Commercial Zoning
District. The Planning Board recommends approval of the request. Chairman Byrd
opened the meeting for comments from the public. Comments were received from the
following citizens:
1. Ricky Parson, 3 84 Wood Road, Dunn - has issues because there is a subdivision on
the dead end road and concerned what business might locate there if the area is
changed to Commercial Zoning District.
2. Billy Wood, 1334 Old Oak Lane, Dunn - Concerned with being blocked in. A
handicapped person lives on the road and has problems every time it rains. Wants
traffic to be taken into consideration.
3. Getty Godwin, 3514 Bud Hawkins Road, Dunn - If zoning is changed, requests
strict restrictions on property.
4. Tom Godwin, 3514 Bud Hawkins Road, Dunn - Questions about how Cafe Risque
was allowed to build and concerns about that business if a motel is built on property
being considered for rezoning. If a business is built, its customers would be people
who drive up and down 1-95 such as thieves, robbers, and drug runners.
5. Larry Godwin, Dunn and Topsail Beach, and executor of his aunt's estate which
has 8 heirs - Mr. Godwin assured the group that there are covenants in perpetuity that
no nudity establishment would ever locate there. The property has been in the family
for 200 years and restrictions would be put on property. There should be no traffic
problems and buffers are required between business and residential property.
6. Gloria Carroll, 419 Wood Road, Dunn - concerned how rezoning might affect
others.
There being no further comments, Chairman Byrd closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Titchener moved to approve the zoning change as requested because it
promotes economic development for the County. Commissioner McNeill seconded
the motion and it passed unanimously.
Chairman Byrd called to order a public hearing on a proposed Zoning Ordinance text
amendment regarding junk motor vehicles, junk yards, and abandoned manufactured
homes. Mark Locklear, Senior Planner, presented and explained the proposed text
amendment. The Planning Board unanimously recommended approval. Chairman
Byrd opened the meeting for comments from the public. No comments were offered
and Chairman Byrd closed the public hearing. Commissioner Hill moved to adopt the
resolution amending the Zoning Ordinance as presented. Commissioner Titchener
seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. (Attachment 6)
Departmental reports were filed with the Board from Emergency Medical Services,
Veterans Affairs, Animal Control, and Finance Office. (Attachment 7)
Neil Emory, County Manager, reported that the Town of Angier has chosen to accept
an invitation to become a member of the North Carolina Capital Area Metropolitan
Planning Organization (MPO). At the October 18 Commissioners meeting, the Board
voted for the County to accept the same invitation if the Town of Angier did. This
will remove the County from the Rural Planning Organization (RPO) administered by
the Mid-Carolina Council of Government.
There being no further business, Commissioner Hill moved to recess the meeting to be
reconvened Thursday, November 18, 2004 at 8:00 a.m. The Harnett County Board of
Commissioners regular meeting, November 15, 2004, recessed at 8:30 p.m.
