of $121 ,009.12 to the grading contract with MRP Grading for Patriots Park. The
contractor discovered a large amount of unsuitable soils during construction of the
driveway while crossing the wetland area that bisects the park. Additional labor and
materials are needed to remove the existing soil and stabilize the soils to complete the
driveway to the secondary field and parking area. The change order also includes the
additional supplies and labor to install the head wall and wing walls on the box culvert
that spans the wetland area. These were not part of the original scope. Another item
added to the original contract is the installation and gravel for the driveway and parking
lot. The contractor is able to add this task at a price reasonable to the cost it would take

Steve Ward , Harnett Regional Water (HRW) Director, presented the Town of Lillington 's
request to purchase 500,000 gallons per day in our gravity wastewater interceptor that runs to
Fuquay-Varina north of the river. He noted that the Town of Lillington does not currently own
capacity in the line. Mr. Ward said that the Town of Angier owns 1,000,000 gallons per day of
capacity in the line and that they paid $1.40/gal ten years ago. Mr. Ward stated the 500,000
gallons of capacity requested by Lillington would total approximately $900,000, which
Lillington would like to spread out over 10 years. Discussions continued . It was the consensus
of the Board to move forward.
Regarding the YMCA's request for reimbursement of $24,615, Mr. Ward explained that nothing
HRW required of them made their fees escalate. He said Mr. Houp 's engineer came to the
county with a plan, determining what flow they needed and saying they needed a 2" line. Mr.
Ward said $24,615 is the cost of the water and sewer system development fees and a meter.
Commissioners will consider the request for reimbursement during their upcoming regular
meeting.

Impact Statement
library Services and Technology Act {LSTA) funds are federal funds awarded to the State library of North
Carolina annually by the Institute of Museum and library Services {IMLS). The funds are governed by the
purposes and priorities set forth by the US Congress, in conjunction with the Office of Management and
Budget's {0MB) Uniform Grant Guidance, for allowable uses of federal funds . The State library of North
Carolina Continuing Education Scholarship Grants utilize LSTA funds and must address one of the LSTA
Priorities in order to be eligible for these grant funds.
1. Describe the knowledge, skills, or information the participant anticipates gaining as a result of
attending this conference.
I will be exposed to peers who can offer insight to current cataloging rules and tips, using the updated
Evergreen ILS . I will attend lectures and trainings that could include authority control ; such as creating and
adding or importing records. There will be numerous roundtables that will be educational and enlightening.
2. Continuing Education Scholarship Grants funded by LSTA are meant to ultimately benefit the
library's end users. What target audience/s will the participant be focusing on while attending the
conference and how will that target audience benefit from participant's newly acquired knowledge
and/or skills?
The information and training I gain from the conference will be shared with my coworkers. All the

Justification for 2 Paramedics for the Community Paramedic Program in the E.M.S. Division
inclusion into the current 5400 2019/2020 Budget
Harnett County Emergency Services respectfully requests two paramedic positions (12-hour shifts) to
staff a Community Paramedic Program. This would require 2 additional Paramedic positions to ensure
proper coverage. This program is a collaboration with Harnett Health Systems (Betsy Johnson & Central
Harnett Hospitals). This will currently be grant funded by the Duke Endowment Fund with funds paid to
Harnett Health System and reimbursed to the county for personnel costs. The grant is a three-year term,
afterward becoming a joint cost share program.
The program is designed to assist the County's citizens with better access to basic health care services in
a non-emergency setting. This will assist with reducing hospital readmissions, non-emergent visits to the
emergency room, and non-emergent use of the 911 system. The community paramedic program would
address issues that frequently arise in the home setting including:
Better management of healthcare at home for our vulnerable population
Assistance with medication understanding and administration
Explanation of patient's diagnosis
Avoidance of recurring EMS usage
Avoidance of recurring emergency department visits
Working with patient's healthcare team to provide post-hospital care
Follow-up and explanation of discharge instructions
Assistance with connecting patients with healthcare and other available resources (DSS/Dept. of
Aging etc.)
EMS agencies in surrounding counties have implemented the program and have seen incredible success
in the community.
As stated above, in order to implement the program, we will need two new paramedic positions that
will work a 12 hour shift covering 7 days. The new positions' total salary (grade 109) needs, base salary
of $48,000.00 with inclusion of benefits, $68,548 with a total annual cost of $137,096. We would utilize
current vehicles and associated equipment from current in-house inventories.
If you would like any additional information or have additional questions, please let me know.
