2020-2021 Harnett County Schools Budget Message
This budget message is the Board of Education's and Superintendent's official
presentation of the 2020-2021 fiscal year budget to the Harnett County Board of
Commissioners. Currently, our county, state, and nation are dealing with an
unprecedented event with the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Our schools are
closed while learning and work are taking place at home or in remote locations. We are
not confident that students will return by the end of the school year. We are currently
ensuring our schools stay conditioned and maintained. Also, we are distributing lunch
and breakfast each weekday. Our teachers are educating our students virtually using
conferencing and learning management software. Many of our students do not have
access to this technology or adequate internet in their home and must learn using
printed packets developed by our schools. We do not know the long term fiscal and
instructional impact this closure will have on our school district.
Although we face uncertainty with this pandemic, Harnett County Schools is
increasing in student enrollment by adding additional opportunities for students. We also
believe we are the most military-friendly school district by being the only school district
to submit an application for the NC Purple Star Award for every school in the county.
This award is given to schools that provide a commitment to military-connected families
through student support and staff development. We are able to do all of this as
increasing school choice options open in our communities.
Our students are performing over last year's accountability numbers as well . The
4-year cohort graduation rate for Harnett County has increased to 87% and exceeds the
state's graduation rate. It is important to know that 76% of our schools met or exceeded
academic growth this past school year. More teachers than ever are choosing to stay in
Harnett County. Our teacher attrition rate has dropped from 17 .8% in 2018 to 12.9% in
2019. This is attributed to the increased professional development opportunities,
beginning teacher support, and increase in local teacher supplement.
Utilizing state grant funds, our focus to ensure our schools are more secure and
safer to students, we have added Aiphone and RFID technology to lock our front doors
and new HD digital cameras to most of our school buildings. This year we are
requesting your support in finishing this project to 100% of our school buildings.
052620wsa HCBOC Page 8
Our funding request this year continues to focus on employee salaries, student
safety, new and renovated school facilities, and equipment upgrades. Our current
expense requests focus on reaching our goal of a 10% teacher supplement and
increasing the salary of our classified employees. As our population continues to grow,
so does our need for new school buildings. We are currently in the final stages of the
Erwin Elementary School demolition and we have purchased land for a new Northwest
Harnett Elementary School. This year we are asking for a new high and middle school
south of Lillington to reduce overcrowding at Harnett Central High and Middle Schools.
Also, we are requesting renovations and expansions at four elementary schools. The
Harnett County Board of Education has also approved a new "School Facilities Needs
List" that is also included in this document.
We realize that it takes a partnership to move our school district forward and we
appreciate the continued cooperation from the Board of County Commissioners. While
the current environment doesn't allow for face-to-face meetings, a remote joint meeting
between our boards would allow the superintendent to present this year's funding and
school building request. Thank you for your attention to this year's request and the
support of our schools.

Memorandum
To: Harnett County Board of Commissioners
From: Rodney Daniels, Fire Marshal
Date: May 20, 2020
Reference: Fire Protection Service District Changes
Insurance premiums are determined based on a fire department's public protection
class rating. In Harnett County, the North Carolina Office of State Fire Marshal is
responsible for conducting regular inspections of our contracted fire departments as
part of the North Carolina Response Rating System (NCRRS). The NCR RS rating system
ranges from one (highest) to 10 (lowest, not recognized as a certified fire department by
the state). Higher ratings can significantly lower homeowners' insurance rates in that
fire district. Properties that are more than six road miles from a responding station shall
be given a public protection classification rating of "PPC 10".
Due to a recent division of property and access to the parcel(s) along the Summerville-
Bunnlevel and Westarea Fire Protection Service District lines one or more properties are
beyond six road miles from the re sponsible fire department. Therefore, cl assifying these
properties a "PPC 10". To better serve our citi zens', I am re spectfully requesting we
change Westarea Fire Department, Serv ice District (see Exhibit-A) and Summerville-
Bunnlevel Fire Department, Service District (see Exhibit-B) to afford the affected
property owners lower insurance rates. County of Harnett currently contracts with both
departments to provide fire protection services in these districts. These service districts
were established for, and continue to provide substantially similar services.
Summerville-Bunnlevel and Westarea Fire Protection Service Districts, were established
upon a finding that there was a demonstrable need for providing fire protection services
within the areas of the districts, that it wa s impossible or impracticable to provide fire
protection services on a county-wide basis, that it was economically feasible to provide
fire protection service for the districts without unreasonable or burdensome annual tax
levies, and that there was a demonstrable demand for fire prote ction service s by
persons re siding in the districts. County of Harnett contracts with Summerville-
Bunnlevel and Westarea fire d e partments to furnish fire protection service s, facilitie s
and functions pursuant to the standards set forth by the North Carolina Dep a rtment of
In surance, County of Harnett and all other pertinent federal, state, and local laws and
regulations within the boundaries of their fire protection se rvice districts. Their Fire
Protection Districts will be defined in the attached map of the Fire Protection District
and on record with the Clerk to the Harnett County Board of Commi ssioners and in the
GIS/Land Records Management of Harnett County. Summerville-Bunnlevel and
Westarea fire dep artme nts are current ly and will continue be i ng d ispatched on the first

alarm, to all structure fi res on the affected properties. The only change in response will
be on single station responses, such as woods, brush, grass , and vehicle fires. These
types of incidents only require response from the primary fire district in which the
parcel lies. Both, Summerville-Bunnlevel and Westarea Protection Service Districts
operate on a $.10 tax levy per $100 valuation . These changes will result in an
approximate $1,000 increase in revenue for Westarea Fire Protection Service District
based on current real property tax values and a decrease of approximately $315 for
Summerville-Bunnlevel Fire Protection Service District. These changes should have
minimal fiscal and operational impacts on the affected fire departments while providing
an unswerving service to our homeowners at an equal or lower PPC.
In addition, I have attached SS 153A-304.3, a combined map of the fire protection
service d i stricts as well as the current district line for your review and clarification.

RESOLUTION OF THE HARNETT COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
DECLARING ITS fNTENT TO RELOCATE BOUNDARY LINES BETWEEN
ADJOfNING FIRE PROTECTION SERVICE DISTRICTS
WHEREAS, pursuant to North Carolina General Statute§ 153A-301, the Harnett
County Board of Commissioners (hereinafter referred to as the "Board") adopted a
resolution on May 16, 2011 to establish fire protection service districts in Harnett
County; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to North Carolina General Statute § 153A-304.3, the Board
may by resolution relocate the boundary lines between adjoining fire protection service
districts if the districts were established for substantially similar purposes; and
WHEREAS, the Harnett County Fire Protection Service Districts, including the
West Area and Summerville-Bunnlevel Fire Protection Service Districts, were
established upon a finding that there was a demonstrable need for providing fire
protection services within the areas of the districts, that it was impossible or
impracticable to provide fire protection services on a county-wide basis, that it was
economically feasible to provide fire protection service for the districts without
unreasonable or burdensome annual tax levies, and that there was a demonstrable demand
for fire protection services by persons residing in the districts; and
WHEREAS, the Board believes that it is in the best interest of the affected
property owners of the West Area and Summerville-Bunnlevel Fire Protection Districts
to relocate the boundaries of these districts; and
WHEREAS, the Board declares its intent to adopt a resolution to relocate the
boundaries of the West Area and Summerville-Bunnlevel Fire Protection Service
Districts; and
WHEREAS, prior to the adoption of a resolution to relocate the boundaries of the
service districts, the Board shall make available to the public a report containing a map
showing the current and proposed boundaries of the districts, a statement that the
proposed boundary relocation meets the requirements of subsection (a) of North Carolina
General Statute§ l 53A-304, a plan for providing service to the area affected by the
relocation of district boundaries, and the effect that the changes in the amount of taxable
property will have on the ability of the district to provide services or to service any debt;
and
WHEREAS, the Board calls a public hearing on the matter to hear all interested
persons prior to taking action on this request; and

As an introduction to its offer to purchase property, the City of Dunn would like
to provide you with some historical information related to how the City of Dunn
water system has evolved over time and why there is a need for the City to
purchase the adjoining properties owned by Harnett County.
The City of Dunn has owned and operated its own water treatment facility on the
s ame 11.36 acre site in Erwin, on the Cape Fear River since the 1920s. The
original water treatment facility had a capacity of 2 million gallons per day
(MGD) and provided water service to the City of Dunn and the Town of Erwin.
By the 1960s, the City of Dunn exceeded the capacity of that facility and replaced
that water treatment plant with a new facility having a capacity of 4 MGD.
The next step towards becoming a regional supplier occurred in the 1980s when
Dunn agreed to provide water service to the Town of Benson in Johnston County.
During that same time period the Town of Erwin constructed its own water
treatment facility to provide water service to its residents and the Erwin Mill
textil e facility. Approximately 20 years later, the Town of Erwin would sale its
water and sewer assets to the County with both the water and wastewater plants
being decommissioned.
In the late 1980s, Dunn agreed to serve as a water supplier to several rural
systems within Harnett County, also known as the Southeast Water and Sewer
District of Harnett County. The agreement extended service north and south of
Dunn along Highway 301 and east of Dunn along Highway 421 and NC 55. In
1990, Dunn agreed to provide water service south along Highway 301 to the
Town of Falcon and subsequently serves as a pass-through of water to the Town
of Godwin.
Recognizing the regional nature of our water treatment facility, the City of Dunn
expanded its current facility to 8 MGD. The project included upgrading the raw
water station, some additional on-site storage, and most importantly, a 24"
transmission main into the City of Dunn. In 1996, the City of Dunn entered into
an agreement with Sampson County to supply water to Sampson County's Water
and Sewer District II, through two interconnections located on NC 55 and US 421.
In 2012, the City of Dunn and Eastover Sanitary District extended a 12" waterline
into Cumberland County in order to provide water service to the District's
approximately 3,000 customers.
Dunn's water treatment facility is approximately 60 years old and in an effort to
avoid catastrophic interruptions to its drinking water supply, the City had two
independent engineering firms investigate the feasibility of expanding the current
facility. In both cases, the firms have indicated that the current facility cannot be
expanded due its close proximity to West "E" Street. They also indicated that
building a new treatment facility from the ground up is going to be most
economical considering the structural and mechanical work that would be
required. Also, trying to build a new plant on the existing site would be very
challenging, if not impossible, while continuing to supply drinking water to its
customers.
After much discussion and planning efforts related to the City of Dunn's future
water supply and the communities that the City is obligated to serve, City leaders
are reaching out to the County to discuss the purchase of the adjoining
properties. The reservoir property and the wastewater treatment property are
not being used by the County and therefore, in our opinion, have become a
liability for the County to maintain. In order for the City of Dunn to meet the
water supply needs of the communities that the City serves for many years to
come, a new treatment facility and additional land is going to be required.
Whether we purchase the County's land or relocate our facility on the Cape Fear
River, the City of Dunn is committed to ensuring we have a reliable water source
for the future.
On behalf of the Dmm City Council we would like to extend an offer to purchase
PIN -0597-32-4433.000; PIN -0587-95-3137.000; PIN -0597-22-3784.000, and
including the transfer of any appurtenance, permits, and easements from Harnett
County for a total purchase price of $350,000. The City of Dunn appreciates your
consideration of this offer.
Sincerely,
Mayor William P. Elmore, Jr.
