Harnett County FY 2021-2022 Recommended Budget Page 1 May 3, 2021 To the Harnett County Board of Commissioners: COVID‐19, the worst global pandemic in at least 100 years, has affected county government and our residents in profound and unpredictable ways, just as it has turned the world upside down. Tragically, as of the last report, 169 Harnett residents have lost their lives to the virus, and a total of 11,092 residents have tested positive, approaching 10% of the county’s total population. We offer our heartfelt condolences to those who have lost loved ones and suffered during this last year. While our struggles do not compare with that of some of our residents, understanding the effects of the virus and how they may or may not continue has made budgeting for FY 2022 uniquely challenging.  Certainly, conditions are much more favorable than last year. Three approved vaccines all but promise some return to normalcy during FY 2022. According to the Health Director, 20% of the county’s population has had at least one vaccination; 17.8% have been fully vaccinated. We offer our enormous appreciation to the Health Department, Harnett County Emergency Services, local agencies, and all the employees and volunteers who have assisted with getting our residents vaccinated. Aid from the federal government in the form of two rounds of relief programs, the most recent and largest approved in March 2021, has provided and will continue to provide financial assistance for the many changes we have had to make to continue to provide services in a safe manner. The federal government has also provided our residents with financial assistance through three stimulus payments. The county’s Harnett County FY 2021-2022 Recommended BudgetPage 2 funding allowed us to make significant progress on one of the Board of Commissioners’ top priorities of expanding access to reliable Broadband Internet for our residents, which has been made even more urgent by the pandemic. The Board committed $2 million of the county’s Coronavirus Relief Fund allocation to expand Broadband in underserved portions of the county by partnering with an Internet Service Provider. The county is also seeking additional grant funding to enhance these efforts. We believe the first residents will receive access to this Broadband in FY 2022. At this time last year, economists were predicting a catastrophic decline in the national economy. Being fiscally prudent, we reduced our revenue projections and made cuts across county government, sparing only education, culture/recreation (both parks and libraries were opening new facilities), and public safety from major reductions. Fortunately, those dire predictions did not materialize; in some cases the opposite occurred.  Some county revenues increased dramatically during FY 2021 in ways that were unforeseeable when the budget was developed last year. The most surprising increases were in locally collected sales tax and revenues resulting from development.  Harnett County’s locally collected sales tax receipts are 23% above FY 20, while NC urban counties experienced a decline in this revenue. Statewide, receipts are up about 12.5%. Total sales tax is expected to be $8 million above budget in FY 2021 (part of the sales tax is restricted for school needs and is budgeted in the debt service fund). As best we can determine, the reason is county residents shifted spending to local businesses that provide basic necessities, such as grocery stores, and to online purchasing. The county receives 1.75 cents on every dollar for purchases either made locally or delivered in the county. Those deliveries are likely what caused the dramatic increase in sales tax receipts. Predicting whether people will continue these shopping patterns is, to a degree, a guess. We have assumed that pattern of behavior continues, but it is one of the biggest unknowns about the FY 2022 budget. Reminding residents to shop locally or have items delivered will be a key message for the county in the coming year.  Building inspection revenues are up 61% over last year ($420,000) and register of deeds excise tax, paid when property is sold, is up 38% ($200,000). Simply put, development in the southern and northwest parts of the county continued unabated through the pandemic. Roughly 1,000 residences were constructed and added to the tax base during the past year. Unfortunately, the impact on the tax base was not as significant because the county continues to see building of homes that do not pay for the services required. The tax base increased $216 million, or $1.5 million/3% in additional tax revenue. (What is shown in the chart below also includes motor vehicle taxes, which were up sharply in FY 2021, in part because the state delayed FY 2020 payments and that revenue was collected in FY 2021). Even though most of this is good news, the pandemic affected other revenues negatively. Departmental service charges are down 15% across the board. The only other area that saw a substantial increase was gun permits in the Sheriff’s Office. The most significant decline in revenue occurred in Emergency Medical Services for two reasons. First, in the early months of the pandemic the number of calls, particularly for non‐emergency transports, declined nearly 50%. Second, the fee increases budgeted last year did not result in the expected revenue increase, Harnett County FY 2021-2022 Recommended BudgetPage 3 resulting in about $3 million less than what was budgeted for EMS fees last year. We had other revenue challenges as well. First, the Board of Education requested that the county forego lottery proceeds for the next five years in exchange for the ability to receive a state grant to help fund sustainable building enhancements to Northwest Harnett Elementary. This left a $1 million hole to be filled (which will also recur for the next four years). Finally, to avoid more drastic cuts last year, we appropriated $3.3 million form the Article 44*524 reserve and that hole had to be filled as well. The following chart summarizes the changes in revenue from the FY 2021 ORIGINAL Budget to the FY 2022 Recommended Budget. As you can see the overall growth was only 2%. Table 1: General Fund Revenue Growth: FY 2021 Original Budget v. FY 2022 Recommended Budget. FY 21 Orig BudgetFY 22 Total Rec

Holds HCS harmless for the loss of lottery funds. At the request of the Board of Education, the county is foregoing proceeds from the lottery over the next five years to obtain a $10 million grant to help fund Northwest Harnett Elementary. Capital outlay spending, budgeted in the Board of Education Capital Reserve, remains at FY 2021 levels, in spite of this loss of more than $1 million in lottery funds and the reduction in the number of Harnett County School students. (School systems do not share capital outlay funds with charter schools).  Harnett County FY 2021-2022 Recommended BudgetPage 5 Finally, the county is increasing funding for maintenance by $1,441,415, in accordance with the Approved FY 2022‐2028 CapitalImprovements Program. These funds are budgeted in the Board of Education Capital Reserve.The fact that we cannot do more for Harnett County Schools reflects the unsustainable nature of the county’s growth. Residential development generally does not pay for itself and the type of residential development Harnett County is experiencing certainly does not. As we showed during the retreat, our ability to keep up with growing demands for service has actually declined during the recovery from the Great Recession. Our property tax revenue per person is just $495 per person compared with an average of $763 per person in counties our size. This really illustrates the funding challenges we have. When you look at total revenues per capita, the average for our population group is $1,362, while our average revenue per capita is $1,132. Simply put, we have $230 less per person to provide services. We are recommending increased funding for economic development to help increase the county’s industrial and commercial tax base relative to the residential tax base.  A strategic planning initiative called Strong Roots, Smart Growth – A Strategic Plan for Cultivating Economic Development in Harnett County, is underway to address the best way to achieve this. In addition to trying to be good partners with Harnett County Schools, we also gave a small operating increase to Central Carolina Community College and budgeted the CIP paving project in capital reserve. Likewise, we included a recommended 3% increase across the board for rescue squads. We recommend maintaining parks and recreation funding to the towns despite significant reductions in the number of program participants in the past year. We have also included in the general fund a $10,000 credit to reimburse each town for landfill fees.  Harnett County FY 2021-2022 Recommended BudgetPage 6 A few fees are recommended to be adjusted, including passing on the cost of automatic water meters to those installing them. Appendix 1 contains the detail on these changes. I am recommending increases in tax rates for five fire departments. The recommendation is detailed in the table below and recommended increases are in red. The county also levies the Averasboro School District tax. No change is recommended for that district. Table 3: Recommended Fire Tax Rates and Total Revenues by Department. DistrictFY 21 RateFY 22 Req/Rec RateTotal Revenue FY 21 Rate ProducesTotal Revenue FY 22 Rate Produces

Benhaven is requesting a 1‐cent increase. The department has increased costs because of growth and communications upgrades. The district has also partnered with our IT Department to extend the fiber network in that area.   Benson is requesting a 2‐cent tax increase. The main reason for the increase is to put full‐time staff at the fire station on a 24/7/365 basis. Johnston County is also considering an increase in the district’s rate.   Coats is requesting a 2‐cent increase: The fire chief has had serious recruitment issues because of low salaries and increased costs because of higher call volumes. The chief completed a detailed look at operations when he came on board.  Cypress Pointe is requesting a 1‐cent increase. The department has started running first responders for EMS in the county. The district has not received an increase in 11 years and call volume is increasing.   Godwin Falcon is requesting a 5‐cent increase to make the rate equal to what is charged in Cumberland County. In my opinion, we have also not kept up with rewarding our county employees at the level they deserve. Many county employees faced dangerous conditions this past year and bravely continued to provide services to our residents. Some of our employees were exposed to COVID‐19 during their work and had to be out for extended periods of time. This left some departments woefully understaffed. We all pulled together as a team, supported each other, and provided our residents with the critical services they needed. I could not be more proud of our employees and I wish that we could adequately reward them for the sacrifices they have made. We are continuing the modest 1.5% performance pay increase that does not match that of surrounding counties. We were also required by the state to increase the retirement contribution.  Medical insurance premiums increased 2.5%, but we avoided passing that cost on to employees. The County’s last compensation study was done in 2016 and implemented in 2017, and the last cost of living adjustment for employees was provided in January 2016. I am very worried that because our pay has not kept up with surrounding counties, we will see our best and brightest employees leave for other opportunities. We need to ensure pay and benefit competitiveness. To that end, I recommend a compensation study be done in FY 2023. No reclassifications were recommended in the budget pending the results of this study.  We are recommending unfreezing five positions that were frozen last year to balance the budget. We are also recommending 10 new positions in the general fund to respond to increased workload in departments. Hiring dates for all these positions vary between July, October, and January. These requests are detailed in each department’s budget.  Finally, while the federal government has helped us tremendously on the COVID front, it cut one of the important programs for our older residents—the RSVP program. After 19 years of being fully funded by the federal AmeriCorps Senior grant, the county was not funded for FY 2022, but the county received a $23,750 one‐time extension of funds to complete grant requirements. In FY 2020, there were 251 active RSVP volunteers serving in the county and they provided 25,177 hours of unpaid service in their communities. These 25,177 hours equate to $684,814.40 in savings to local government, businesses, civic organizations and non‐profits who utilize these volunteers. RSVP currently Harnett County FY 2021-2022 Recommended BudgetPage 8 manages 255 active volunteers serving at 24 different volunteer sites across the county, including in the new Harnett County Resource Center & Library.  The department has made substantial reductions in operating expenses to offset the loss in revenue, but an additional $7,058 is needed this fiscal year to fund the remaining salary and benefits of two positions to continue the coordinated efforts of the volunteer program. That funding is recommended. I would be remiss if I did not mention the efforts of our two enterprise funds: Harnett Regional Water and Solid Waste. Both continued to provide exceptional service throughout the pandemic. In addition, Harnett Regional Water had the following accomplishments in FY 2021:  HRW completed an $11 million dollar upgrade of the North Harnett Wastewater Treatment Plant in Lillington.  This project upgradeconsisted of improvements to our existing filtering systems and the addition of new water and wastewater bio‐solids handling facilities.HRW began the $15 million dollar Advanced Metering Infrastructure Project in the fall of 2020.  The two‐year project will completelyeliminate meters that require manual reading and enhance the customer service capabilities for all of our metered services.  Differentareas of the county will receive the benefit of these services at different times as all the new meters are installed.HRW received the prestigious North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality’s “Gold Star Award” for achieving 10 consecutiveyears of outstanding drinking water quality.  Harnett Regional Water was one of only eight water systems in the entire state to receivethis award.Solid Waste had the following accomplishments:  The Dunn Erwin convenience center was relocated and upgraded to provide a better facility for residents.Solid Waste staff continued to operate convenience centers and landfills throughout the pandemic without reducing hours.The department developed a plan to fund future and current capital needs through establishment of a capital reserve and replaced a$400,000 bulldozerFinally, the county began in FY 2021 a contribution to a post‐closure fund for landfill facilities to ensure we meet requirements of thestate.We spent a great deal of time projecting our revenues and expenses more closely. Departments were asked to justify any spending over FY 2021 budgeted amounts and their requests were reviewed in detail by our budget team. We also continued breaking the budget into continuation and expansion funding. Continuation refers to funding needed for ongoing operations, while expansion requests for new programs and positions are separately justified. You will see CONT (continuation) and EXP (expansion) columns in the budget summaries of the document. Any new request is also detailed separately, along with the cost to the county. Harnett County FY 2021-2022 Recommended BudgetPage 9 As the chart shows, since the 2009 recession the county has worked hard to generate budget surpluses each year and add to our fund balance. We are recommending a fund balance appropriation of $2,720,359 in the General Fund. This amount is $168,562 or 4% more than the FY 2021 Original Budget. The percentages for FY 2021 Original Budget and FY 2022 Recommended Budget are nearly the same, at 2% of the total general fund.  Over the past two years, we have spent much energy improving our Capital Improvements Program (CIP) process and the Board of Commissioners adopted a CIP in January. The improved process and early adoption meant that we were able to focus our time this spring on the operating budget. We are pleased to be able to fund the CIP in large measure. A transfer of $500,000 to the general capital reserve keeps important projects, such as replacement of VIPER radios, EMS vehicles and elections voting equipment, on track. We reduced the transfer to the Fleet Internal Service Fund by $50,000 because a 10‐year plan of vehicle replacements showed the fund can be self‐supporting without the additional general fund appropriation. Even without the challenges of a global pandemic, Harnett County faces serious future problems in keeping up with service demands. Our population has grown most rapidly in the unincorporated area of the county where we don’t have towns to provide services, even though new residents in these areas often expect these types of public amenities. Meanwhile, as we discussed at the retreat, our revenues are not keeping up. When compared with other NC counties, Harnett has much more residential development, which, again requires more services. In addition, our residential values are among the lowest in the state. We rank 95th out of 100 counties in property values per capita. The average new home built in the county barely pays enough in taxes to fund the cost of educating one student in Harnett County, let alone the additional county services required.  We do not believe this situation is sustainable. The longest economic expansion in history has just ended and we have not been able to make sufficient progress in increasing funding for schools or keeping up with the market when it comes to paying our county employees. Thanks to our improved CIP process, we are better able to plan for our capital needs, but funding for new initiatives will be difficult until we correct the structural problems with our revenues. This will require increasing economic development and improving residential property values. Harnett County FY 2021-2022 Recommended BudgetPage 10 I want to thank Central Carolina Community College, the Fire and EMS Departments, Harnett County Schools and other community partners for their collaboration in developing the FY 2022 budget. County department heads and staff did an exceptional job completing the justification forms and meeting deadlines in order to stay on schedule. I cannot adequately express my gratitude to our internal budget team. They went above and beyond during the CIP process and the operating budget process. They had to adapt to the ever‐changing pandemic and were able to stay on schedule by successfully conducting meetings and trainings using Zoom and conference calls instead of in‐person meetings.  As my career with Harnett County government comes to an end, I would like to thank the past and present county employees for the excellent services they provide to our citizens and for their commitment to making Harnett County a wonderful place to live and work. I am proud and honored to have had the opportunity to serve as county manager for the past three years. Besides working with our wonderful employees, I am most honored to have played a role in the planning, construction, and opening of the new Harnett County Resource Center and Library that was completed in 2021. This new facility was badly needed to accommodate increased demand for County services, particularly on the Harnett County Public Library. It will serve as a hub that connects County employees and residents to resources that will improve their lives, and it goes a long way to accomplishing the County’s master plan of bringing all County departments to a single location to provide a more efficient, high quality level of service to our citizens.  Respectfully submitted,     Paula K. Stewart County Manager Harnett

All but the School Resource Officers (SRO) Division increased over last year. The SRO Division was reduced to more accurately reflect the actual expenses for funding the towns to provide school resource officers. A summary of the Sheriff’s Office budget is shown to give an overall perspective. Expenditures increased slightly even with the reduction in the SRO allocation. Had that funding remained the same, the Sheriff’s Office would have had an increase of $514,958, a 2.5% increase over FY 2021.

It consists of an assessment of the current water and wastewater systems and projects these capital needs over a ten-year period. This plan is offered to the Board to seek their guidance and input as they look toward Harnett County’s future. This plan should be a helpful fiscal planning tool that allows us to forecast capital demands on revenues and borrowing power to help avoid overextending ourselves financially during the next ten years and beyond. HRW recommends that the review and approval of this capital improvement plan be accomplished annually as part of the budget process. General approval of this document by resolution does not commit the Board to specific approval of any one project or expenditure, nor does it appropriate money for any project. This would still be accomplished through separate capital project ordinances. The approval by resolution from the Board simply approves the capital improvement plan as a plan for the forecast period. Harnett County FY 2021-2022 Recommended Budget Page 148 DESCRIPTION OF COUNTY Demographics. The County, formed in 1855, has a projected population of 136,031 as of 2019. The per capita income for the County is $34,604 (82nd in NC) and the median household income is $53,922 (30th in NC). The poverty rate is to be 18% and the unemployment rate currently stands at 3.9%. Land Area Configurations. Harnett County is located in the south central portion of North Carolina. It lies partially in the Coastal Plain and partially in the Piedmont section. The eastern two-thirds of the County exhibit topographic features common to the Coastal Plain region of North Carolina. It is an area of level to gently rolling terrain with elevations ranging from 100 to 300 feet above sea level. The major underlying geological formation includes sedimentary rocks consisting mostly of unconsolidated sands and clays. Topographical features of the western part of the County resemble the Piedmont region of North Carolina. It is an area of steeper hills with elevations as high as 450 feet above sea level. The major underlying geological formation includes crystalline rocks, such as granite and slate. Name and Logo Changes. The Harnett County Department of Public Utilities underwent name and logo changes in FY 2018-19. The new name of the utility is “Harnett Regional Water”. The new mission statement reads as follows, “Harnett Regional Water provides high quality water and wastewater services to residents and businesses in Harnett County and the surrounding region. The organization is focused on customer service and is committed to environmental stewardship. Its position on the Cape Fear River, combined with significant investments in infrastructure and foresight from past and current leaders, will allow Harnett Regional Water to continue to serve the rapidly growing central region of North Carolina.” This rebranding should help accentuate the growth of the department from a single county water and sewer department to a regional water and Harnett County FY 2021-2022 Recommended Budget Page 149 wastewater provider. The old name often confused customers as to what services the department provided. The new logo installations on elevated tanks will continue in earnest this year and the utility will debut a stand-alone website to emphasize easier access and customer service to our consumers. Description of Existing Facilities. Harnett Regional Water provides water and/or wastewater services to approximately 100,000 Harnett County residents. HRW also provides public water to customers in Counties contiguous to ours. These Counties include Cumberland, Johnston, Moore, Lee, and Wake. The Harnett County Regional Water Treatment Plant supplies water to the Harnett County municipalities of Lillington, Angier, Erwin, and Coats. It supplies water to the Towns of Fuquay-Varina and Holly Springs in Wake County and also the Towns of Spring Lake and Linden in Cumberland County. It also jointly supplies water to Fort Bragg through a partnership with the Public Works Commission of Fayetteville. The Harnett County Regional Water Treatment Plant utilizes the Cape Fear River as the source for the system’s drinking water and currently has a treatment capacity of forty-two million gallons a day (42 MGD). HRW’s water system consists of nine County water and sewer districts. Each of these districts exists as a separate legal entity pursuant to Chapter 162A of the North Carolina General Statutes. The County maintains and operates the districts for a fee equal to the districts’ debt service amount. This amount is paid from general revenues received from water and/or wastewater sales from the various districts. The County established a “Harnett County Public Utilities Fund” in 1998 that consolidated accounting for the operation of these districts. This allowed the department to budget revenues and expenditures in a consolidated manner rather than nine individual district budgets. HRW provides wastewater treatment to the Towns of Angier, Coats and Lillington in Harnett County. HRW also provides wastewater treatment to the Town of Fuquay-Varina in Wake County and Fort Bragg Army Base in Cumberland County. HRW was established in 1982 with approximately 600 water customers and 8 employees. We have grown in the thirty-seven years since to approximately 40,000 water customers, 13,000 sewer customers and 105 employees. HRW infrastructure consists of approximately 1,400 miles of water mains, 360 miles of sewer collection mains and totals over $325 million dollars in assets. In addition to the 42 million gallon per day regional water plant mentioned above, other assets include 2 wastewater treatment plants Harnett County FY 2021-2022 Recommended Budget Page 150 with a combined treatment capacity of 22.5 million gallons per day, 20 elevated water storage tanks with 8.9 million gallons of capacity, 18.2 million gallons of ground storage capacity, a 60 million gallon reservoir, 24 water booster stations with pumping capacity of 133 million gallons per day and 98 sewer lift stations. Approximately 95% of Harnett County residents now have access to public water. As is apparent from the above history, HRW has experienced tremendous growth and accomplishment through the valiant efforts and foresight of past and present Harnett County Commissioners and staff. Their dedication to a countywide water and strategically located sanitary sewer system is the reason for the utility’s success. WATER SYSTEM Treatment Facility. HRW’s existing 42 mgd (million gallons per day) regional water treatment facility was recently upgraded to that capacity in FY 2016-17 at a cost of approximately $12 million dollars. The project added four new filters, an upgraded alum sludge disposal system, new backwash/chemical storage and modified the raw water intake and raw water/reservoir low-lift pump stations. In conjunction with the project, the County entered into a formal water supply capacity agreement with Moore County in which Moore purchased 3 million gallons of daily water capacity in the Harnett Regional Water Treatment Plant. Moore joins Johnston County, the Towns of Holly Springs and Fuquay-Varina in Wake County, as well as Fort Bragg in Cumberland County as capacity holders in the Harnett County Regional Water Treatment Facility. Harnett Regional Water is also committed to building a new 8-10 mgd water treatment facility in the Erwin area of the County. Our planning estimates project the new plant will be needed to supplement the existing Harnett Regional Water Treatment Plant by the end of this decade. Cost estimates are approximately $50 million dollars for the project as it will be funded by revenue bonds and HRW reserves. Water Supply Plan. The State of North Carolina requires that all water systems submit an approved water supply plan annually. This plan is currently being updated by the HRW staff. The purpose of this plan is to provide evidence to the Harnett County FY 2021-2022 Recommended Budget Page 151 State that the water system is providing adequate planning for the supply of water through a designated planning period. Water supply planning is also continuing in the area of hydraulic modeling as the engineering firm of Hazen & Sawyer is engaged in providing an updated water hydraulic model of our entire distribution system. This will be critical importance in planning and directing future water resources to accommodate new growth. Water Conservation Measures. Harnett County amended its Water Shortage & Conservation Ordinance in the spring of 2008. The ordinance was amended in response to the drought conditions in our area over the last several years. The ordinance now more clearly defines the stages of water conservation and what triggers their enactment. It also established a normal irrigation schedule and increased the department’s enforcement authority during emergencies. Our water supply is a critical resource that must be protected at all costs. Water Distribution System. Three water transmission projects were recently completed in FY 2018-19. The most significant was the West Central Transmission Project which consisted of the construction of approximately thirteen miles of 20 inch water transmission main complete with a booster pump station from Lillington to the Seminole community near the Lee County line along US Hwy 421. This project costs approximately $8 million dollars and greatly improves our hydraulic efficiency in the west central part of the County. Another water distribution projects completed in FY 2018-19 was the South Central Transmission Project. It consisted of the installation of 7,500 feet of 12 inch water transmission main to alleviate low pressure zones in the South Central portion of the County and cost approximately $700 thousand dollars. The final water distribution project completed in FY 2018-19 was the WHIP Transmission Project. It consisted of the construction of 7,800 feet of 16 inch transmission main along Hwy 87 to serve the new Benhaven Elementary School being constructed in the Western Harnett Industrial Park (WHIP). This project was completed at a cost of approximately $1 million dollars. The North Harnett Elementary School Utility Extension Project is scheduled to begin in FY 2021-22 and consists of the extension of 6,800 feet of 8 inch water main and 7,700 feet of 4 inch sewer force main with the Harnett County FY 2021-2022 Recommended Budget Page 152 construction of a wastewater pump station to serve that new school site. The estimated cost of this project is $1,496,537 and will be funded from Harnett Regional Water’s capital reserves. Regional Interconnects. As you are aware, Harnett County’s water system is interconnected to several area public water systems that we do not provide water to including: the City of Dunn, the Town of Benson, the City of Raleigh, the Town of Apex, the City of Fayetteville (PWC), the City of Durham, and finally the Town of Cary. These connections are of a vital importance in the event of emergency water shortage conditions. The ability to provide and receive additional water from these various sources makes all of these systems more dependent upon each other and truly interconnected in a regional manner. HRW is now a member of the newly formed Triangle Water Supply Partnership. Because of this alliance, our water system will participate with the triangle water utilities in regional water supply planning, with the goal of collaboratively planning for, maintaining, and implementing, long-term sustainable and secure water supplies for our region in the future. WASTEWATER SYSTEM Wastewater Treatment and Collection. The County currently owns two active wastewater treatment plants, the North Harnett Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant and the South Harnett Regional Wastewater Plant. The South Harnett plant began operation in June 2009 and has a capacity of 15 mgd. It serves all of the southern area of the County and Fort Bragg. The North Harnett Wastewater Treatment Plant has a capacity of 7.5 MGD and recently underwent major modifications to its filters and bio-solids storage facilities as part of the North Harnett Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade Project. This project was completed in FY 2020-21 at a cost of approximately $11 million dollars. HRW is currently expanding its wastewater collection system as well by extending sewer to the only two existing Harnett County schools currently not on public sewer. The South Harnett Elementary/Anderson Creek Primary School Wastewater Harnett County FY 2021-2022 Recommended Budget Page 153 Project is currently under construction at a cost of approximately $3 million dollars. It is scheduled for completion this fiscal year. Regional Wastewater Facilities. Harnett County has commissioned four different engineers since 1968 to look at comprehensive approaches to the long-range planning of Harnett County’s water and wastewater needs. The most recent of these is the Northern Harnett Wastewater Master Plan for the Districts in the northern section of the County. This study was authored by Hazen and Sawyer and was completed in FY 2017-18. All of these wastewater plans have concluded that a regional approach utilizing a consolidation of systems is the best plan practical for protection of public health and economic development. There will continue to be County development of services which will extend from existing facilities; and, due to the escalating cost of expansion and operating expenses, it is likely that other regions within the County will be attempting to regionalize systems within the next ten years. In addition to this, regulatory restraints will force regionalization to happen in order to eliminate as many discharges into our water basin as possible. Areas outside the County, which are tributary to our drainage basins and wastewater treatment facilities, (i.e. southern Wake County and northern Cumberland County as recent examples) also provide realistic opportunities for regionalization. These relationships should be nurtured to provide the greatest scale of economy in building additional wastewater collection lines to serve Harnett County citizens. FINANCIAL PLANNING Revenue Projections. Revenue projections for the next 10 years are difficult if not impossible to correctly predict. They are tied to a myriad of factors including residential and commercial growth in the County, local and regional economic conditions, and the ability of our utility to meet all future water and sewer needs throughout the County and region. Before we can attempt to predict future revenues, we need to look at current revenue trends for the last several fiscal years. Harnett County FY 2021-2022 Recommended Budget Page 154 HRW Operating Revenues Financial Operating Period Revenues FY 10-11 $28,042,836 FY 11-12 $30,130,929 FY 12-13 $30,732,953 FY 13-14 $34,624,099 FY 14-15 $32,162,037 FY 15-16 $34,446,531 FY 16-17 $35,872,649 FY 17-18 $39,203,558 FY 18-19 $39,987,902 FY 19-20 $41,091,355 You can see from these figures that revenues increased by $113,048,519 in the last nine fiscal years. This represents a 46% increase in annual operating revenues in that time span. The majority of this increase is due to the growth of water and wastewater infrastructure throughout the County and increasing growth of water supply to the surrounding region. Rates must be adjusted to cover the ever increasing cost of service to include debt repayment and meet capital reserve targets to cover emergencies and capital project funding. The overall financial strategy of the Department is to continue to maximize revenues consistent with an even pace of residential and commercial/industrial growth within the County. Expenditures will be kept in line consistent with adequately maintaining treatment and distribution systems while emphasizing regulatory compliance in all areas. Harnett Regional Water is at a historical crossroads in the sense that 95% of all County residents have access to water. Additional access to water has been the primary source of a growing revenue base in the past. However, since most areas within the County now have access to water, future revenue growth will be directly correlated to the Department’s goal to provide access to sewer to densely populated unincorporated areas of the County and the Department’s ever increasingly important role as a regional water and wastewater treatment provider to surrounding municipalities, counties and most importantly Fort Bragg. Harnett County FY 2021-2022 Recommended Budget Page 155 CUSTOMER SERVICE IMPROVEMENTS HRW recently had a “Public Utilities Efficiency Study” completed by the Management Consulting firm of Martin-McGill out of Asheville, NC. Although the overwhelming result of the study was positive, one of the main recommendations for improvement within the department was in the area of customer service. Specifically, the need to upgrade existing outdated technologies such as water/sewer customer billing software that was over a decade old, asset management /work order software, automated customer telephone systems, etc. HRW has aggressively started that process and has recently completed the installation of a new and enhanced customer information system (CIS) software system that includes a mobile work order and enhanced internet pay platform. We have also engaged with new providers to enhance our existing Interactive Voice Response (IVR) telephone system to give customers access to enhanced technological features. HRW is currently underway with the automated Metering Infrastructure Project in FY 21 in which we will upgrade all of our existing meters to new smart meters. These new meters will send usage data to HRW through a wireless network and provide much more information to our customers and staff. This project has an estimated cost of $14.9 million dollars and will take approximately two more years to totally complete.

It shows how facilities, equipment, and other projects that cost $100,000 or more could be scheduled and funded over the next seven years, beginning in FY 2022. It is important to state upfront that this is a PLAN, not a BUDGET, since a budget controls the actual spending of allocated funds. While staff attempts to be as accurate as possible, it is difficult to estimate project costs exactly, particularly early in the planning process. Before funds can be spent, they must be budgeted through the operating budget or, in most cases, through a separately adopted project ordinance. The same is true for operating costs, particularly for new facilities. As facilities are being planned, staff attempts to identify operating costs, such as staffing and utilities. The cost of these items depends on final square footage and operational issues that may not be apparent until the facility is far along in planning. CIP Process The CIP is a plan which is updated annually and may be modified at any time to reflect changing conditions. A CIP is a systematic way of anticipating, planning, and budgeting for major projects. The adoption of a CIP can improve the credit worthiness (bond rating) of a jurisdiction. Timeline for adoption: • CIP requests originate at the department/agency level. Requests were submitted on or before September 25, 2020. Staff provided substantial support to Harnett County Schools (HCS) and Central Carolina Community College (CCCC), which are new to the county’s CIP process. • The Manager’s Office is responsible for reviewing new and existing requests and recommending a proposed CIP to the Board of Commissioners. The recommended CIP will be presented on November 10, 2020. • Commissioners obtain public input on the CIP before discussing it. A public hearing is scheduled for November 16, 2020. • Commissioners review the recommendation in detail and make changes. A work session will be scheduled soon after the newly elected board of commissioners takes office. • The final action is adoption of the CIP, which ideally will occur before the kickoff of the FY 2022 operating budget, scheduled for February 8, 2021. Overall Approach As mentioned before, HCS and CCCC were new to the county’s CIP process this year. The recommended pay-as-you-go projects funded from the general fund increased significantly to address HCS’s maintenance needs. Overall, the required annual contribution to general capital reserves increased from $950,000 to $1,750,000. Board of Education The Board of Education has requested approximately $200 million (in today’s dollars) in new facility requests. The county currently does not have the resources to pay for these facilities, so these projects are shown as future projects in the CIP. The County Manager recommends that a joint work session between the Board of Education and Board of Commissioners be scheduled to discuss a future bond referendum to address these needs. County staff will work with HCS staff and the county’s financial advisor to estimate the impact of a bond referendum on the county’s property tax ra te and debt burden to determine the final list of projects for consideration. In April 2020, as part of its FY 2022 budget request, the Board of Education presented a list of facility needs to the Board of Commissioners. The list and how the CIP addresses these needs is as follows (per the Board of Education document, costs shown below are estimates and do not include escalation or maintenance-type requests): Harnett County 2022-2028 Approved Capital Improvements Program Page 1 Category/Projects April 2020 Estimated Cost How CIP Addresses Current Projects Erwin Elementary School $27,500,000 Included as a funded project Northwest Harnett Elementary School $38,100,000 Included as a funded project Tier 1 Projects (Immediate to 1 year) Johnsonville Elementary School (New Cafeteria, New Classrooms, Renovate Gym) $11,300,000 Phase 1 included as a funded project; Phase 2 included as a future project South Harnett Elementary School Cafeteria Renovations $380,000 Not included; school system is using other county funds to complete this project in FY 2021 South Harnett/Lillington Middle School (1100 seats, not incl. land) $50,000,000 Included as a future project South Harnett/Lillington or Highland High School $90,000,000 Included as a future project Highland Elementary School Addition (300 seats with cafe expansion) $7,471,000 Included as a future project Overhills Elementary School Addition (300 seats with cafe expansion) $7,471,000 Included as a future project Tier 2 Projects (2 to 4 years) Lafayette Elementary School Gym Renovations/New Cafeteria $5,000,000 Included as a future project North Harnett Primary Renovations TBD Not submitted as CIP request Wayne Ave. Elementary Renovations TBD Not submitted as CIP request Tier 3 Projects (5 to 9 years) Buies Creek Elementary School Replacement $28,000,000 Included as a future project Western Harnett-area Elementary School $31,300,000 Not submitted as CIP request Northern Harnett-area Elementary School $31,300,000 Not submitted as CIP request STAR Academy Renovations/Replacement TBD Included as a future project Tier 4 Projects (10 to 15 years) Western Harnett-area Middle School $50,000,000 Not submitted as CIP request—beyond CIP timeframe Northwestern Harnett-area Middle School (land procured) $50,000,000 Not submitted as CIP request—beyond CIP timeframe HCHS/THS/WHHS Renovations TBD Not submitted as CIP request—beyond CIP timeframe Other School Renovations (school-by-school basis) TBD Not submitted as CIP request—beyond CIP timeframe Tier 5 (prioritize as resources become available) Harnett County Early College @ Benhaven $3,000,000 A portion of this project is included in the Benhaven project, including parking and renovating the gym and attached classrooms New School Transportation Facility $6,415,522 Included as a future project New Custodial/Storage Facility TBD Not submitted as a CIP request Gentry Educator Development Center TBD Not submitted as a CIP request Harnett County 2022-2028 Approved Capital Improvements Program Page 2 As the list above demonstrates, there are significant future projects on the horizon, namely school facilities and construction of a new housing unit at the county’s detention center, which is projected to need an addition around 2030 . All of these projects will require that the county issue debt to in order to fund them. Harnett County already has a fairly high debt burden (figures below are from the NC Treasurer’s 2019 Debt Analysis and do NOT include the Erwin and Northwest Harnett borrowings of approximately $70.5million): • The debt to appraised value ratio is 2.25%. The average ratio of counties 100,000 to 250,000 population is 1.29%. The highest ratio in the population group is 2.6%. • Harnett County’s debt per capita (what each resident would owe if the debt had to be repaid today) is $1,472. The average debt per capita for the population group is $1,208. The highest debt per capita in this group is $1,977. The county currently contributes $11 million from the general fund to fund existing and planned future debt. In addition, sales tax restricted for education is accumulated for debt. The county should be judicious about issuing new debt and work closely with Harnett County Schools to identify top priorities for funding. Recommended Changes Recommended changes to the 2022-2028 CIP include: Harnett County Schools • Establish an annual Maintenance Fund to address critical mechanical systems and roofs beginning in FY 2022. HCS identified a number of chillers, boilers, cooling towers, and roofs that are either past or nearing the end of their useful lives. Funds will be set aside in a separate capital reserve and roll from year to year, giving the school system a reliable source for funding these critical needs. [+9,841,415]. • Fund other small facility upgrades with lottery proceeds. In FY 2022, the CIP recommends funding camera upgrades [+317,715] and electronic door locks [+394,092] from the current balance in lottery proceeds. Going forward, 35% of the previous year’s lottery proceeds will be available for future needs. The county currently allocates 65% of the previous year’s lottery proceeds as capital outlay. The capital outlay appropriation is not changed, and the allocations shown in the CIP are in addition to capital outlay. • Reflect facilities already approved that are being funded through the $100M general obligation bond approved in 2014. The recommended CIP reflects three school projects already underway: Erwin Elementary School replacement [+31,027,797], new Northwest Elementary School [+37,806,430], and Johnsonville Elementary Phase 1 renovation [+5,100,000]. Other projects: Other projects are recommended as requested by the agency or department, unless otherwise noted. • Broadband Expansion Initiative: Working in partnership with a private internet service provider, the Harnett County Board of Commissioners has already approved the project to expand broadband service to unserved and underserved areas of the county in FY 2021. In addition to a $2M transfer from general fund balance, the county is applying for a grant to cover the remaining portion of the project [+3,985,000]. • Central Carolina Community College (CCCC) -- Parking Lot Resurfacing: Resurface remaining parking areas and circulation drives at the main Harnett campus in FY 2022 to be funded through capital reserves [+160,338]. • Emergency Medical Services (EMS) -- Cardiac Monitors Replacement: Replace all cardiac monitors to ensure consistent technology across all emergency units in FY 2027 [+610,855]. • Emergency Medical Services (EMS) -- Convalescent Transport Unit Replacements: Last year’s CIP had a project for the initial purchase of these vans. Because of high mileage, they must be replaced every three years. An analysis showed that even though the vans are replaced more frequently than ambulances, they are more cost effective overall because of lower fuel and maintenance costs. The replacements will be funded from capital reserves [+674,182]. • Emergency Services -- Old Jail Demolition and Relocation of Building Systems: An engineer has developed a cost estimate for this project, which was in last year’s CIP as a future project. To ensure the health and safety of Emergency Services employees, the CIP recommends funding in FY 2021 from capital reserves [+431,917]. • Harnett Regional Jetport (HRJ) -- Master Plan Update: The county must spend federal funds before the end of FY 2021 or they will revert, and the state has not moved forward on the Lighting and Apron Expansion projects. The airport master plan has not been updated since 2005. Because of requests to develop outside the area identified in the 2005 Harnett County 2022-2028 Approved Capital Improvements Program Page 3 master plan and to maintain eligibility for future federal funding, the CIP recommends funding the master plan update over three years, beginning in FY 2021. Ninety percent of the project costs will be covered by federal funds, and the remaining 10% ($45,000) will be funded from the Airport Capital Reserve [+450,000]. • Information Technology -- Fiber Extension Information Technology River Fiber: Funding to construct a one-mile fiber connection across the Cape Fear River in Lillington to provide better network redundancy is recommended in FY 2028 [+230,750]. • Parks & Recreation -- Benhaven Community Park Redevelopment: Funding from the Parks Capital Reserve is recommended in FY 2021 to rehabilitate existing ball fields and playground and construct a picnic shelter at the Old Benhaven School to address recreation needs and safety concerns. The project complements the county’s overall effort to rehabilitate and reuse the old school for county and community needs [+139,000]. • Parks & Recreation -- Patriots Park Development Phase 2: With Phase 1 being completed very soon, funding from the Parks Capital Reserve to complete Phase 2 development of Patriots Park is recommended in FY 2021. Phase 2 improvements include constructing a picnic shelter and playground, which were requested by the community [+96,000]. • Parks & Recreation -- Shawtown Community Park Development: Funding from the Parks Capital Reserve is recommended in FY 2021 to develop improvements at the park located on the former Shawtown School site, including a walking trail, fitness stations, playground, and picnic shelter [+130,450]. • Solid Waste -- Northwest Convenience Center Relocation: Using funds from the Solid Waste Capital Reserve, in FY 2021 relocate the Northwest Convenience Center to 1971 Oakridge River Road, Fuquay- Varina to provide a larger and safer site to serve the growing population in this area [+494,254]. Add Future Projects: • Central Carolina Community College (CCCC) -- Drainage System Repair: Repair the drainage system located on the main Harnett Campus, 1075 E. Cornelius Harnett Blvd., Lillington. This project was requested for funding, but a detailed analysis of the system and cost estimate is needed before this project can move forward. • Harnett County Schools -- Buies Creek Elementary School Replacement: Replace the district’s second oldest remaining, 39,454- square-foot school, located at 340 Main Street, Buies Creek, with a new school to be located on a new site. • Harnett County Schools -- Highland Elementary School Expansion: Construct 40,000 square feet of classroom space and expand the cafeteria by 2,000 square feet at Highland Elementary, loca ted at 1915 Buffalo Lake Road, Sanford, to alleviate severe overcrowding. • Harnett County Schools -- Johnsonville Elementary School Phase 2 Expansion & Renovation: Construct a 27,500-square-foot addition to Johnsonville Elementary, located at 18495 NC 27 West, Cameron, to replace classroom space that is being demolished in Phase 1. • Harnett County Schools -- Lafayette Elementary School Renovation: Renovate Lafayette Elementary School, located at 108 Lafayette School Road, once a portion of students have moved to the new Northwest Harnett Elementary School. • Harnett County Schools -- Maintenance Projects: In a future CIP, consider funding for Overhills High tennis court resurfacing, South Harnett windows replacement, and STAR Academy windows replacement when cost estimates have been obtained. • Harnett County Schools -- New South Harnett Lillington Middle School: Construct a new 174,000-square-foot school to accommodate 1,200 students and to alleviate existing and projected overcrowding at Harnett Central and Overhills middle schools. • Harnett County Schools -- New South Harnett Lillington/Highland High School: Construct a new 305,250-square-foot high school to accommodate 1,850 students and alleviate existing and projected overcrowding at Overhills and Harnett Central high schools. • Harnett County Schools -- Overhills Elementary School Expansion: Construct a 19,500- square-foot addition of classroom space at Overhills Elementary, located at 2626 Ray Road, Spring Lake, to alleviate overcrowding and replace mobile units. • Harnett County Schools -- STAR Academy Facility Improvements: Replace windows and condition the gym at the STAR Academy, located at 900 11th Street, Lillington to address facility concerns and to allow the Board of Education to host large meetings and events in the gym. • Harnett County Schools -- Transportation Maintenance Facility Replacement: Construct a new transportation facility to replace the Harnett County 2022-2028 Approved Capital Improvements Program Page 4 existing facility, located at 8 West Harnett Street, Lillington, to provide adequate space to service district buses and other vehicles. • Harnett County Sheriff’s Evidence Storage and Crime Scene Processing Bay: Construct a new 1,800-square-foot building on the Sheriff’s Office site to relocate the crime scene processing bay and give the Sheriff’s Office additional evidence storage space. The project was requested for funding, but a cost estimate for the site work involved was not received before the CIP deadline. • Cape Fear Shiner County Park Development (Phase 2): Develop Phase 2 of the Cape Fear Shiner County Park, including a playground, a picnic shelter, and restroom facility. Engineering services to determine how best to serve the site with sewer and to estimate the cost of restroom building will be needed before this project can move forward. • Neills Creek Park Restrooms, Concession and Maintenance Building: Construct a new restroom, concession, and maintenance storage building adjacent to the Neills Creek Park Middle School athletic fields and tennis courts to serve the school’s athletic teams and residents using the facility. A cost estimate for the restroom building is needed before the project can be funded. The CIP includes both summaries of major projects, revenues and operating expenses and detailed descriptions of each project, including justifications, cost detail, funding sources, and impacts on the operating budget. Assumptions Generally, construction costs are inflated 6% per year. Staff also recommends a 5-10 percent contingency for most projects. Other project costs, such as equipment, and operating costs are usually inflated by a factor of 3% per year, unless there is good reason to use another inflationary factor (which will be noted). Operating costs are generally inflated 3% per year, unless costs are fixed by contract. Changes Made to Approved Document The Harnett County Board of Commissioners approved the FY 2022 -2028 CIP on February 1, 2021. Since presentation of the CIP on November 10, 2020, Harnett County Schools applied for and received a $10 million grant for Northwest Harnett Elementary School, resulting in the loss of lottery funding to Harnett County for the next five years. To offset this loss, adjustments were made in the following projects: • Harnett County Schools—Camera Upgrades: This project, which was to be funded from remaining lottery proceeds, was put on hold pending identification of a funding source. • Harnett County Schools—Electronic Door Locks: This project, which was to be funded from remaining lottery proceeds, was put on hold pending identification of a funding source. • Harnett County Schools—Maintenance Fund: To offset the loss of approximately $1 million per year in lottery proceeds that funds capital outlay for Harnett County Schools, the contribution to this project was reduced by an equivalent amount.

The software does not allow the 911 center to receive videos and pictures sent by text message. The existing system does not accurately track vehicle locations, so that the closest responder can be dispatched. The vendor is no longer adding features or upgrading the existing software. Meanwhile, the state is implementing a new statewide IP network for emergency services, but the existing CAD software is not compatible with the new network. According to the state’s website on the project, the new network: “routes 911 calls based on the caller’s location, as opposed to the wireless tower that received the 911 calls; delivers text-to-911 in a reliable way with the same priority as a 911 call; delivers video-to-911; provides for 911 call load sharing among PSAPs during emergencies, so that when a storm overloads one PSAP, a neighboring PSAP can automatically receive overflow calls; and provides accurate, reliable, and timely location information for 911 telecommunicators and field responders, especially for wireless and other nomadic 911 callers.”Upgrade the existing software to the latest version to keep data migration, setup and training as simple as possible. •Do nothing: Failure to upgrade the software will mean the county cannot meet state and national standards for receiving 911 calls and will not be able to join the statewide network. Since the vendor is no longer upgrading this version of the software, future support may not be available. •Replace the existing software with a new CAD product: While a comprehensive evaluation of CAD systems had not been conducted, switching to an entirely new system will require much more training and implementation services, a time-consuming process. The county would like to join the state network as soon as the new software is implemented. •Upgrade the existing software to the latest version. This alternative is recommended.The software has been installed on servers and being tested. Dispatchers are training on new software the week of September 28th and October 12th. The 911Center will go live with new software on November 17th.Define ProblemRecommended SolutionAlternativesCurrent Stage of ProjectHarnett County 2022-2028 Approved Capital Improvements ProgramPage 17 Harnett County Sheriff -- 911 Dispatching Software ReplacementApproved-Contracts LetThere is no impact to the operating budget.Operating ImpactHarnett County 2022-2028 Approved Capital Improvements ProgramPage 18 General Fund Projects Harnett County 2022-2028 Approved Capital Improvements Program Page 19 Benhaven (former) School RenovationApproved-No Contracts (part)Renovate the former Benhaven School campus, located at 2815 Olivia Road, Sanford, to allow for reuse by various county functions, an early college, and community partner organizations. First, focus on stabilizing the roofs and HVAC systems to maintain current facilities and prevent further deterioration following Harnett County Schools vacating the campus in preparation for renovation. Second, prepare site for use by early college and Parks & Recreation by demolishing the cafeteria building and adding parking where the building once stood, and renovating the gymnasium and attached classrooms for use as an early college. Finally, in a future phase, for which funding has not been identified, develop a more detailed scope and obtain cost estimates for the renovating of the remaining buildings on the campus.Project BudgetPrior toFY 2021Current Year:FY 2021Year 1:FY 2022Year 2:FY 2023Year 3:FY 2024Year 4:FY 2025Year 5:FY 2026ProjectTotalsBudgetYear 6:FY 2027Year 7:FY 2028 Project ElementArchitectural Design & Construction Ad 14,00000000014,000000Construction86,002 409,925 546,6140 110,050001,152,591836,45500Furnishings & Equipment137,0579,81100000146,868000237,059 419,736 546,6140 110,050001,313,459Total Project Element836,45500Funding SourceCapital Reserves00 41,7500 110,05000151,800143,57200General Fund Operating Revenue57,95900000057,959000General Obligation Bonds179,100 419,736 3,9870000602,823692,88300Harnett Regional Water00 500,8770000500,877000237,059 419,736 546,6140 110,050001,313,459TotalFunding Source836,45500Operating EffectDebt Service159,388 155,676 151,036 146,395 141,755 137,115 132,4751,274,8700127,835 123,195General Fund Operating Revenue57,95900000057,959000Increased Operating Costs30,000 30,488 47,167 48,581 50,038 51,539 53,085422,199054,678 56,623Transfer from General Fund00 78,433 36,683 36,68300151,800000247,347 186,164 276,636 231,660 228,477 188,654 185,5601,906,828TotalOperating Effect0182,513 179,818Harnett County Schools opened the new Benhaven Elementary School in fall 2018, and the former school has been vacant since that time. During the move, theschool system removed many of the window units which heated and cooled the buildings, leaving the buildings unconditioned. Parts were also removed from theboiler in the main school building, leaving that building without heat. Leaking roofs have caused water infiltration, another source of mold growth and building damage. The campus has become overgrown and has been vandalized.After negotiations with the Board of Education, the former school was turned over to the county on September 25, 2019. Another tract was conveyed in October, when it was discovered that it was not included in the original deed.The community has expressed interest in saving and repurposing the old school. County staff developed and presented a plan for a community center with Define ProblemHarnett County 2022-2028 Approved Capital Improvements ProgramPage 20 Benhaven (former) School RenovationApproved-No Contracts (part)dedicated space for Parks & Recreation and the Harnett County Public Library, along with satellite space for other County departments to provide services, and space that could be leased to partner organizations to provide additional services. Harnett County Schools has also expressed interest in locating an early college on the site. The county engaged Ellington Design Group in FY 2019 to evaluate the buildings on the site and determine the scope of work needed to bring the buildings up to code. A space program and feasibility study will need to be done to determine the full cost of the renovations. The former Benhaven School campus is in an advantageous location to provide additional county and other services to residents living in the unincorporated areas of western Harnett County. Residents in this part of the county have asked for more engagement from the county and members of the Benhaven Community have expressed an interest in seeing the former campus reused. The following buildings are available on the campus: Building 1: The main school building is 24,662 square feet and includes several offices near the entrance, along with a number of classrooms and a large auditorium. Potential uses for this space include occupation by County departments and partner organizations – both with permanent space for Parks & Recreation functions and a Public Library location, and space available for use by other County departments and partner organizations for service provision. Preserving the auditorium has been identified as a key concern, since this is one of the largest assembly spaces in the county. Building 2: The shop/media center building is 6,771 square feet. Immediately after the roof and conditioning issues are addressed, Parks & Recreation would liketo use a portion of this building to establish a presence on the campus, to provide space for equipment to maintain the campus, and to serve as a base for maintenance of sites around this part of the county. A portion of this building could also be used as a meeting space or by a partner organization. Building 3: The preschool building is 4,670 square feet. The County is currently exploring several options for this building including using this space for a satellite Public Library location (as an alternative to locating the Library in the main school building), demolishing the building, or selling it for use by another entity. The gymnasium building (square footage unknown). Harnett County Schools would like to establish another campus of Harnett Early College in the gymnasium and attached classrooms. The gym would be shared with Parks and Recreation for use outside school hours. Additionally, the site includes athletic fields, a playground, and open space, which Parks & Recreation would like to use. A related project to rehabilitate these facilities for recreational use is included in the CIP.Connection to county sewer is planned in FY 2022.Over multiple phases, develop the site to preserve most of the existing buildings and renovate them for a community center, branch library, parks maintenance shop, early college, and other county and community uses. First, in FY 2020 and 2021 stabilize the buildings by conditioning them, repairing the shop roof, replacing the library roof, providing a lock system, and establishing a presence by housing a Parks and Recreation crew on the site. Second, in FY 2021 demolish the cafeteria to provide adequate space for parking. Third, in the future, retain the services of an architect to provide a building program and cost estimate for work needed beyond the code updates specified by Ellington Design. Funds for the architect will need to be budgeted when the Board of Commissioners wants to move forward with the third phase. No funding is included for this future phase of the project.Do nothing: If nothing is done, the buildings will continue to deteriorate, eventually to the point they cannot be used or the cost of renovation will not be feasible. The site will become overgrown and vandalism will likely continue, further damaging the buildings and creating a blighted area in the community.• Demolish all buildings. This option defeats the purpose of the county taking ownership of the site and does nothing to address the community’s interest in preserving and repurposing the buildings or departments’ interest in providing satellite offices. •Put the property up for sale. While this could generate revenue for the county and eliminate the costs associated with renovation, it will also not address the needs expressed by the community of providing additional services. The county will also lose control over the future use of the site.This project is ongoing, and some parts of the project have been completed, including portions of the stabilization phase and some of the work required to accommodate use as an early college and by Parks & Recreation, specifically demolition of the old cafeteria has been completed; and painting the exterior and interior of the gym and classrooms has been done.Recommended SolutionAlternativesCurrent Stage of ProjectHarnett County 2022-2028 Approved Capital Improvements ProgramPage 21 Benhaven (former) School RenovationApproved-No Contracts (part)There will be an increased operating impact for the Parks and Recreation Department and Public Library, as well as possible increased operating costs for other departments that provide services on site.

The machines have a useful life of 10 to 15 years and are nearing the end of this period. While ES&S will continue to service and repair the voting machines, the company has developed new voting machines, which have been certified by the State Board of Elections. Two other companies have been certified as well. As North Carolina counties replace their aging voter equipment, ES&S will likely change itsfocus to the new products. In the future it may become difficult to service the county’s existing equipment if replacement parts can no longer be obtained. Although, the Elections Office has not had any machine failures yet, ES&S is having to repair more issues such as replacing batteries, clock chips, scanner bars,etc. The current vendor (ES&S) is still willing to maintain as long as replacement parts are available; however, the majority of counties are in the process of upgrading or will be soon.The Board of Elections requests that the county fund the replacement of existing voting equipment before it starts to fail. In order to move forward with purchasing new equipment, the State Board of Elections requires that the county Board of Elections follow this process: 1) view a demonstration of the certified voting equipment at a public meeting; 2) make a preliminary recommendation to the Board of Commissioners; 3) test the equipment in at least one precinct during an election; 4) seek approval by the State Board of Elections after the test; and 5) make a final recommendation to the Board of Commissioners. The Elections Director recommends completing steps 1 and 2 at the beginning of FY 2022 so that the Board of Elections can test the equipment in the October or November 2021 municipal elections. The goal is to complete the process and have it ready for use during the 2022 primary election.While the county can continue to repair existing equipment as long as replacement parts are available, the equipment is nearing the end of its useful life. Because of the five-step process to obtain approval for voting machines explained below, the county should plan the purchase and cannot decide in a short timeframe that it must be replaced. The State Board of Elections has certified three vendors. The local Board of Elections will hold a demonstration from these vendors as a first step in its process to replace the existing equipment.Define ProblemRecommended SolutionAlternativesHarnett County 2022-2028 Approved Capital Improvements ProgramPage 23 Board of Elections Voting Equipment ReplacementApproved-No ContractsThere has been no change to this projectThe operating impact will be an annual maintenance contract/fee for the equipment.Current Stage of ProjectOperating ImpactHarnett County 2022-2028 Approved Capital Improvements ProgramPage 24 Broadband Expansion InitiativeNewRecruit and partner with a qualified service provider to facilitate the development of cost-effective broadband in Harnett County, with a focus on the underserved and unserved areas.Project BudgetPrior toFY 2021Current Year:FY 2021Year 1:FY 2022Year 2:FY 2023Year 3:FY 2024Year 4:FY 2025Year 5:FY 2026ProjectTotalsBudgetYear 6:FY 2027Year 7:FY 2028 Project ElementConstruction03,541,600000003,541,6003,541,60000Engineering0 443,40000000443,400443,4000003,985,000000003,985,000Total Project Element3,985,00000Funding SourceGeneral Fund Fund Balance0 2,000,000000002,000,0002,000,00000Grants, Gifts, Etc.01,985,000000001,985,0001,985,0000003,985,000000003,985,000TotalFunding Source3,985,00000Broadband is not available to all county residents. With the coronavirus pandemic and greater use of Internet for school and work, now more than ever, our residents and businesses rely on adequate broadband. The incumbent providers serve 70 to 80% of the County, but some Internet service is barely usable at 1-5mbs . The federal guidelines state that 25mbs is the base standard to be considered high-speed broadband. Existing service providers have not expanded broadband access to all rural areas. The county needs a service provider to expand and provide broadband access in unserved and underserved areas. Sincelack of broadband infrastructure is a significant barrier to economic growth, broadband initiative has been the Harnett Board of Commissioner’s top legislative priority since 2014.In November 2018, Harnett County launched a broadband survey that encouraged residents to provide feedback on their current broadband capabilities. The county partnered with ECC Technologies, Inc. to conduct the online broadband assessment survey to determine the residences and businesses within the county who continue to struggle with limited access to Internet services, with a particular focus on broadband availability.Harnett County worked with local libraries and the county school district to ask residents and businesses to participate in this broadband assessment. This assessment was created to, verify availability of current broadband services in the county, to identify actual speeds available through the speed test, and collect information on demand for services from residents and businesses across these counties.Over 1,600 responses were received during the survey period with roughly 90% of responses marked as “complete” by the surveying tool. Only 10% were marked “partial,” indicating the respondent abandoned the survey at some point. The survey indicated there is a clear and present need not only for access to true broadband service but for provider choice that shows how critical it is to find a solution that benefits as many residents as possible. While 85% of residential respondents stated they have Internet access at their home, only 32% are able to purchase the speed of service that they need. The primary reasons for respondents without Internet to lack Harnett County Broadband Assessment service is that it is simply unavailable (62%), with service being too expensive the second most common reason for having no home Internet (22%). Eighty-three percent of residential respondents without home Internet would sign up immediately if service were available, while only 2% said they would not sign up for Internet service, and 62% percent of homes without Internet have someone intheir household who has difficulty completing homework. With North Carolina’s requirement for digital textbooks and assignments, this presents a significant problem to Harnett County residents who either have no access to Internet services in their homes or who are unable to purchase the speeds they need. The data suggests that there are areas within the county which do not have access to sufficient broadband speeds and other areas of the county which have sufficient speed but no viable competitive option.Define ProblemHarnett County 2022-2028 Approved Capital Improvements ProgramPage 25 Broadband Expansion InitiativeNewRecruit and partner with a nonincumbent company to offer broadband service. •Do nothing.

Current providers are encouraged to consider this request, as well as new providers. It is anticipated that both fiber-based and fixed wireless-based solutions will be presented in the RFP responses and both will be considered. •Work directly with incumbent providers to expand their service. The county has attempted to do this over the last decade, but the conversations have not resulted in significant expansion of broadband access.Board of Commissioners adopted a broadband development capital project ordinance on October 5, 2020.

The areas that were not resurfaced are beginning to fail. The gravel underneaththe pavement is starting to show and the lots are holding water and have potholes.

The radios will be at the end of their useful life in 2025. Motorola has stated it will end support of the radios in 2023, meaning that radios will be repaired only as long as replacement parts can be found.In the meantime, the county was just notified that the state is requiring that all radios on the VIPER network be upgraded by July 1, 2025 to receive time division multiple access (TDMA) programming. TDMA essentially divides each channel on the VIPER system into two separate talk paths and reduces the number of new frequencies that will be needed in the future. None of the radios originally purchased in 2013 comply with this requirement. A few radios have been purchased recently that meet this requirement. The state upgrade is dependent on the General Assembly appropriating funds for the Highway Patrol to upgrade its radios.Fund the replacement of only county government radios, with Harnett Regional Water paying for its own radio replacements. Begin setting aside funds in FY 2021 and continue contributing to capital reserve for the following four years so that radios can be replaced before July 1, 2025. Monitor the state budget to determine if funds have been appropriated for the Highway Patrol. Notify outside agencies of the requirement to upgrade radios and invite them to partner with the county in obtaining the best pricing to replace their radios, if they wish to fund replacement. •Upgrade the radios to be TDMA compliant and postpone replacement of radios to a later date. This option requires the county to spend approximately $300,000 to upgrade radios that will essentially be at the end of their useful life and will need replacement soon after the upgrade. By selecting this option, the county wouldspend $300,000 to upgrade the radios, then turn around and spend $2.5 million to replace them. •Upgrade or replace radios purchased for outside entities. Even though the county purchased 673 radios initially for outside entities, the responsibility for maintaining and replacing them falls to the outside entities. Otherwise, the county’s costs will be an additional $3 million for replacement and $350,000 for upgrades, a burden the county simply does not have the resources to bear. The county charges these agencies a $25/radio/month fee. However, these funds, which have a balance of approximately $200,000, are to be used to maintain the VIPER and paging systems owned by the county, including towers, VHF Define ProblemRecommended SolutionAlternativesHarnett County 2022-2028 Approved Capital Improvements ProgramPage 28 Emergency (VIPER) Radios ReplacementApproved-No Contractsequipment, generators, mowing, HVAC repairs, etc. The fees are not collected to maintain or upgrade radios. Therefore, it is the county’s position that the other agencies (towns, fire departments, and rescue agencies) will be responsible for the cost of the upgrade or replacement, not the county. Fire and rescue agencieshave been notified of the state’s requirement through Emergency Management. •Replace county-owned radios ahead of the July 1, 2025 deadline. This option ensures the county maintains reliable equipment that is supported and complies with the state’s deadline for compatibility with TDMA programming. It avoids the additional cost of upgrading the radios. Finally, if outside agencies are notified ofthe county’s intent to purchase replacement radios in this timeframe, those agencies could partner with the county in obtaining the best pricing.The project is still in the planning stages. Volunteer fire departments, Emergency Services, and the towns have been advised that they are responsible for the cost of replacing their VIPER radios. The project is scheduled for fiscal year 2024-25. The schedule will give the county 12 months to purchase, take delivery, program and deploy the radios. There are discussions to present a project ordinance to the Board of Commissioner, which would allow the ordering of radios before July 1, 2024, and payment would be after July 1, 2024. By November 15, 2020, Emergency Services will apply for a grant through the Assistance to Firefighters Grant to replace the VIPER Radios in the EMS Division. If awarded, 10 additional radios will be purchased for the EMS field and administration staff.There is no impact to the operating budget.Current Stage of ProjectOperating ImpactHarnett County 2022-2028 Approved Capital Improvements ProgramPage 29 Emergency Medical Services (EMS) -- Cardiac Monitors ReplacementNewReplace all EMS cardiac monitors in FY 2027 monitors to ensure this critical equipment continues to function at an optimal level.Project BudgetPrior toFY 2021Current Year:FY 2021Year 1:FY 2022Year 2:FY 2023Year 3:FY 2024Year 4:FY 2025Year 5:FY 2026ProjectTotalsBudgetYear 6:FY 2027Year 7:FY 2028 Project ElementFurnishings & Equipment0000000610,8550610,85500000000610,855Total Project Element0610,855 0Funding SourceCapital Reserves0000000610,8550610,85500000000610,855TotalFunding Source0610,855 0Operating EffectTransfer from General Fund00 101,809 101,809 101,809 101,809 101,809610,8550101,809000 101,809 101,809 101,809 101,809 101,809610,855TotalOperating Effect0101,809 0Cardiac monitors have a typical useful life of 10 years because of wear and tear.

Beyond that, the vehicles may be unsafe to operate and will incur much greater maintenance costs. Vehicle breakdowns endanger patient safety and pull staff from emergency calls. While call volumes in non-emergency transport have been relatively stable, calls in emergency transport have increased from 14,320 in 2016 to 16,967 in 2018.

The chassis and box will eventually reach such high mileage, wear, and tear that the maintenance costs will be astronomical until they are eventually in operational. This, in turn, takes a necessary EMS unit off the road, limiting the service we offer to the citizens of Harnett County. •Replace vehicles after two remounts at the end of their useful life, in accordance with the vehicle replacement policy.This project is ongoing and is adjusted annually based on the needs of the fleet.There is no operating impact for this project since the purchased unit replaces an existing unit of the fleet.Define ProblemRecommended SolutionAlternativesCurrent Stage of ProjectOperating ImpactHarnett County 2022-2028 Approved Capital Improvements ProgramPage 34 Emergency Radio System -- Northwest Harnett Radio Tower ReplacementApproved-Contracts LetConstruct a new emergency radio communications tower at 1979 Oakridge River Road Fuquay-Varina in partnership with the NC State Highway Patrol.

The tower is old and in poor condition. When the county attempted to renew the land lease, the property owners refused to renew at first, then proposed more than doubling the rent, and then increasing the rent 5% each year. In addition, the property owners wanted to place additional requirements and restrictions on the county’s use of the property, such as removing a lightpole from their pasture and run wiring underground, maintaining the area outside of the county’s fenced area, increasing the rent if the county subleased tower space to a third party, and tying the property owner’s electric fence to the county generator. . After attempting to resolve the situations for more than a year, the county decided to move the tower and co-locate it on property purchased for a solid waste convenience site and park, located at 1979 Oakridge River Road. Thenew property allows the tower to be built at a higher elevation and improves coverage for emergency responders.Construct a 380-foot tower with backup generator at 1979 Oakridge River Road on property owned by Harnett County. Also construct a 228-square-foot building to house the emergency radio equipment and gravel parking area, and fence the site. Demolish the existing tower at 130 Oakridge River Road and restore the property to its previous condition.The county could condemn the property on which the existing tower sits. The condemnation process provides a process that helps determine the fair market value of the property. This alternative does not lead to better coverage or resolve issues with the poor condition of the existing tower.The tower has been designed by NC Highway Patrol, which also bid the project. The goal is to have the tower constructed prior to December 31, 2020, when thelease for the land ends. Engineering studies have been done.

In spite of several attempts to repurpose the building, its construction has made other uses too difficult and expensive to realize. In the meantime, the roof and HVAC systems have deteriorated, leading to water infiltration and mold growth. The old jail shares electrical, mechanical and plumbing systems with Emergency Services, Highway Patrol and DMV. Emergency Services is directly connected to the old jail. Mold is evident on the walls in Emergency Services, though the air quality has not been tested. In order to separate these offices from the old jail, all systems will stay in the current mechanical room.The Facilities Department is proposing to demolish the old jail building. The county has a quote from the Wooten Company on a scope and cost estimate. Because of the immediate need to address indoor air quality concerns, the project will likely be scheduled in the upcoming operating budget when a cost estimate is in hand.Do nothing. If nothing is done, the old jail will continue to deteriorate, causing more problems with the indoor air quality of Emergency Services, Highway Patrol and DMV.•Repair the old jail’s roof and HVAC, abate the mold, and repurpose the space for another county function. This option has not seriously been explored. Becauseof the nature of the old jail’s construction, other uses are probably limited to storage. Renovation, repair, and mold abatement would be expensive.The project is designed and ready to send out for bid and plan to award by February 2021.

Three years ago, before beginning a systematic program to replace its aging fleet, the county owned 53 non-emergency vehicles. The average model of the fleet was 2008 and the average mileage was 114,815. Vehicles were sold traditionally at auction at the end of their useful life and brought in an average of only $2,385. The county had no vehicle standards, so departments were free to purchase any vehicle type within budget without regard for fuel efficiency and the capability of the county garage to service the vehicles.Work to develop a financial model for the fleet replacement program is recommended. In the meantime, the county should continue the $200,000 annual contribution. •Do nothing. Failure to replace the fleet will eventually mean more vehicles out of service, staff down-time and impact on customer service. Vehicles will continue to accumulate mileage and will be sold when they essentially have no value. Vehicle replacement decisions will continue to be made ad hoc without regard for fuel efficiency and service capabilities. •Contract for a vehicle leasing program. The county was approached by a company that offers a leasing solution. For a set amount each year, new vehicles will be provided and replaced while the vehicles still have value. While providing a newer fleet of vehicles, the leasing program was very costly and the staff attorney had concerns about how the lease was proposed. •Adopt a “self-leasing” strategy to centralize management of fleet purchases and base replacement decisions on a rational, point-based system. Standardize the types of vehicles being bought so that the garage staff can improve proficiency and achieve economies of scale in purchasing parts. Consider fuel efficiency as afactor in deciding which new vehicles to buy. Lease these new vehicles back to departments at a standard lease rate and use this revenue to sustain the program long term. Aggressively market and sell vehicles before they have exhausted their useful life to maximize resale value.Define ProblemRecommended SolutionAlternativesHarnett County 2022-2028 Approved Capital Improvements ProgramPage 38 Fleet Management and Replacement SystemApproved-No ContractsThe county is in Year 3 of a self-leasing program. Using a point-based system to decide on the priority of replacements, the county has purchased 21 vehicles and is leasing them back to departments at a total lease rate of $ $89,508 per year. Efforts to sell vehicles have improved by advertising on GovDeals, which hasgenerated 1,111 bids on county vehicles. To set up the program, $200,000 has been set aside annually for vehicle purchases. Lease rates were determined based on information from other jurisdictions without a full financial model to ensure the program can become self-sustaining within five years. Work to develop afinancial model for the fleet replacement program is recommended. In the meantime, the county should continue the $200,000 annual contribution.The county is currently developing a financial model for the fleet replacement program. Additional recommendations will be made in the FY 2022 operating budget.A contribution of $150,000 was made in current fiscal year’s budget due to economic budget cuts.

Failure of these systems mean schools would be without heat or air conditioning or could incur substantial repair costs in the case of roof failure. Many of these systems are beyond their useful lives. The school maintenance staff has inventoried these needs, prioritized them, and identified when they need to be replaced over the seven-year CIP. Cost estimates have been obtained for the FY 2022. Four boilers have exceeded their useful lives. Four others are either at their useful lives or will be in the next two years. No replacement boilers are requested forfunding in FY 2022. The school system is currently exploring the possibility of a guaranteed energy savings contract that could fund one or more boiler replacements from energy savings. Eleven chillers have exceeded their useful lives. One chiller is at the end of its useful life. Three chillers are requested for replacement in FY 2022, including Lillington-Shawtown Elementary, Overhills High and Highlands Elementary.Two cooling towers have exceeded their useful lives. Five additional cooling towers are nearing the end of their useful lives. The Triton High School cooling toweis requested for replacement in FY 2022.Four roofs have exceeded their useful lives. A roof replacement for Angier Elementary and a roof recoating for Harnett Central High School are requested in FY 2022. The Harnett Central High roof is deemed critical.The third option is recommended. This approach sets the yearly amount equal to Year 1 needs, which is estimated to have the highest costs. If this level of funding is maintained, eventually the school system could reach the point of being pro-active in replacing systems at the end of their useful lives or systems could be replaced for greater energy efficiency or maintenance savings. The funds will be maintained by the county and released as invoices are received.Option 1: Do nothing. This alternative requires the school system to fund these systems out of regular capital outlay, approximately $1 million per year. These systems are costly and replacement of one system can consume much of the school system’s capital outlay appropriation. Or, has happened in the past, the systems are not replaced when they reach the end of their useful lives. Maintaining outdated systems can be costly and they may not be as energy efficient as newer systems.Define ProblemRecommended SolutionAlternativesHarnett County 2022-2028 Approved Capital Improvements ProgramPage 45 Harnett County Schools -- Maintenance FundNewOption 2: Fund systems each year as needed. The downside to this approach is the county cannot plan the funding long-term and the school system does not have a way to plan beyond the replacement of systems in imminent failure. Option 3: Provide an ongoing funding source for a set amount every year, but require updated cost estimates each year for the projects requested for funding in the upcoming year. Allow flexibility with the funding so that if a mechanical system or roof fails and it is not on that year’s list, with county approval, funds can be redirected to address that need.Harnett County Schools maintenance staff has inventoried mechanical systems and roofs and identified replacement priorities over the next seven years.Current Stage of ProjectHarnett County 2022-2028 Approved Capital Improvements ProgramPage 46 Harnett County Schools -- New Northwest Harnett Elementary SchoolNewConstruct a 120,000-square-foot school on Rollins Road, Fuquay-Varina in northwestern Harnett to alleviate overcrowding at Lafayette Elementary School.Project BudgetPrior toFY 2021Current Year:FY 2021Year 1:FY 2022Year 2:FY 2023Year 3:FY 2024Year 4:FY 2025Year 5:FY 2026ProjectTotalsBudgetYear 6:FY 2027Year 7:FY 2028 Project ElementArchitectural Design & Construction Ad0 844,000 844,000 422,0000002,110,0001,501,07800Commissioning000 50,00000050,000000Construction0 7,416,250 14,832,500 7,416,25000029,665,00025,017,96000Construction--Water & Sewer0 600,000 600,00000001,200,000000Contingency000 1,570,7500001,570,750500,35900Financing Costs0 360,00000000360,000000Fire Pump for Sprinkler000 350,000000350,000000Furnishings & Equipment000 900,000000900,000500,00000Geotechnical035,0000000035,00075,00000Land & Easements731,680000000731,6802,000,00000Materials Testing00 62,500 62,500000125,000000Phase 1 Environmental Assessment012,0000000012,000000School Site Roadway Improvements000 100,000000100,000000Seasonal HWT Infiltration Testing012,0000000012,000000Sewer Pump Station00 100,0000000100,000000Surveying025,0000000025,00040,00000Technology000 450,000000450,000000Wetlands Determination0 10,0000000010,000000731,680 9,314,250 16,439,000 11,321,50000037,806,430Total Project Element29,634,39700Funding SourceGeneral Obligation Bonds0 8,714,250 15,739,000 11,321,50000035,774,75029,634,39700Harnett Regional Water0 600,000 700,00000001,300,000000Lottery Proceeds731,680000000731,680000731,680 9,314,250 16,439,000 11,321,50000037,806,430TotalFunding Source29,634,39700Operating EffectDebt Service00 3,610,000 3,524,500 3,439,000 3,353,500 3,268,00023,474,50003,182,500 3,097,00000 3,610,000 3,524,500 3,439,000 3,353,500 3,268,00023,474,500TotalOperating Effect03,182,500 3,097,000Lafayette Elementary is severely overcrowded.

The lighting was laid directly in the ground without being protected by conduit, which is not the standard for how lighting should be installed. This poor construction has caused numerous problems with shorts and open circuits. The lighting system is vulnerable to weather conditions and ant infestations. Systems such as the precision approach path indicator, runway end identifier, signage, and runway and taxiway lamps help ensure safety of aircraft and should be replaced at regular intervals. Over the past year, more than 10 repairs have been performed. While the repairs are not costly, outages impact the safety of the 50,500 flights each year. The Division of Aviation has provided design for the new system at no cost to the county and is willing to fund 90% of the construction cost. As part of this work, DOT is paying to move the AWOS, which also requires additional electrical, radio and fiber infrastructure.Utilizing the Division of Aviation’s design and funding, replace the lighting systems and properly install up-to-date LED lighting that will ensure safe lighting for flights into and out of the airport and be more energy efficient. •Do nothing.

The size and configuration of HRJ’s existing apron (also referred to as ramp or tarmac) prohibits these aircraft from maneuvering safely and efficiently. In some instances,when larger planes park in the apron area, they block other aircraft, including the SBI’s Air Wing Division, from accessing the runway and other airport services. In addition, the apron was not originally designed to accommodate these heavier aircraft. Finally, new Federal Aviation Administration requirements do not allow direct access between the apron and runway, which is currently the situation at HRJ. A 2005 master plan for the airport called for airport improvements, includingexpanding the apron. An attractive airport that is easy to use can increase flights and might increase the number of aircraft stored in airport hangers, leading to increased tax value.On existing property owned by the county, expand the apron area to 144,000 square feet and strengthen the existing pavement with concrete or stronger asphaltThis creates area for an additional nine parking spaces and better passenger loading and unloading. The project also connects the taxiways to the service area, bringing the county into compliance with FAA requirements, and expand the size of SBI’s parking area. Utilize funding from the Division of Aviation, which provides 90% of design and construction costs. •Do nothing.

The County is below standards for parkland, programming, and indoor facilities. The plan found it will cost nearly $90 million to get the County up to the recommended standards set by the National Parks and Recreation Association. The additional land will increase the park acreage per Harnett County resident. The Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) is a detailed analysis of the supply and demand of outdoor recreation resources in NC. SCORP ranks NC counties by current supply of recreation resources and provides a benchmark for how county recreational resources rank among the other 99 counties. Harnett County currently ranks 90th in picnic shelters, 79th in athletic courts, 88th in playgrounds, 54th in athletic fields, and 51st in trail miles. This park also begins the connection between the Town of Lillington and the Harnett County Government Complex. It could possibly become part of a greenway system (Harnett County is deficient by 26 miles of greenway trails according to National Standards and benchmarking agencies). In order to develop Cape Fear Shiner County Park, the county applied for a Parks and Recreation Trust Fund Grant and was awarded $400,000 in 2016. A match of $400,000 was required by the county. Funds are being used for the amenities listed above. Hurricane Florence caused damage and flooding in the areawhere the park is located. The state granted a 12-month extension, and the project is scheduled to be completed by October 2020. The PARTF project did not include several elements that would enhance the park experience for citizens. Currently, portable toilets are used in place of restroom facilities.

According to the Parks and Recreation Master Plan, the county is deficient by 26 miles of greenways. With projected population growth, the county will be deficient by 36 miles in 2030. The 2015 Comprehensive Plan and 2017 Parks andRecreation Plan pointed to the need for more county greenways. Greenways are corridors of protected open space that often link nature preserves, parks, schools, and communities together. In 2017 when the Harnett County Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Master Plan was developed, an integrated system of trails and sidewalks was one of the key amenities that continued to be mentioned throughout public meeting. The statistically valid survey that was conducted as part of the Comprehensive Master Plan concluded that a Greenway Trail system was one of the top priorities of the county. The survey also concluded that walking for exercise was the highest program priority for adults and second highest for youth. National standards recommend 0.2 miles of greenway trails per 1,000 residents. Harnett County currently has 0.04 miles of greenway trail per 1,000 residents, which is only one-fifth of the national standard. Greenways are usable by all residents regardless of age, race, gender, or income level and provide direct physical and mental stimulation through physical exertion and engaging nature. Greenways promote healthy living, provide environmental benefits, and preserve nature. Greenways have the opportunity to increase propertyvalues and create economic impacts. A housing development in Apex, NC increased the price of the homes adjacent to the greenway by $5,000 and those homes were still the first to sell (Rails to Trails Conservancy: Economic Benefits of Trails and Greenways). Trail networks can also provide alternative transportation links to allow citizens to access parks, schools, and towns/cities without having to drive. A Greenway Master Plan should be the first step in addressing this need. The plan would identify specific greenway corridors. In doing so, it would allow the county to require land reservation or trail construction bydevelopers (in lieu of paying recreation fees). It would also assist the county in determining where greenway connections should go as new developments continue to be built in portions of the county, specifically in northwest Harnett, where greenway connections could be made with Wake County’s greenway system. A Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenway Plan began in May 2020 and will be completed for board approval in November 2020. Beginning in FY 2021, the Parks and Recreation’s director request that a capital reserve be established for accumulating funds that could be used for greenway development. The fund would be used to match grants. The director is requesting approximately $150,000 to $200,000 per year. The state has estimated that on average greenways cost $1 million per mile to construct.Define ProblemHarnett County 2022-2028 Approved Capital Improvements ProgramPage 63 Parks & Recreation -- Greenway Trail Construction Capital Reserve AppropriationApproved-No ContractsCompleting the master plan and setting aside funds for greenway development beginning in FY 2021 is recommended. Actual greenway construction will be contingent on the county receiving matching grant funds. •Do nothing. If nothing is done, the County will continue to fall behind national standards for greenway trails, which provide higher quality of life for residents and have the potential to increase tourism. •Complete the master plan for greenway development, but delay setting aside funding. This action would like cause land prices and development costs to increase in the future.

When part of the old school was demolished, County leaders at the time promised the community a park on the site. Based on community input, a plan for the park was developed and calls for a community garden, rock garden, memorial garden, playground areas, and a picnic shelter. An outdoor basketball court and upgrades to parking have already been constructed. The next set of improvements wilinclude a trail with fitness stations, playground, and picnic shelter. The Parks and Recreation Department proposes to work with Cooperative Extension to develop the community garden, possibly utilizing grant funds.

The building’s new occupants include the new Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Carolina: Robin Paige Club, which opened on August 26, 2019; ReEntry Family Services, which was relocated from another location in the County; the Harnett County Sheriff’s Office Police Athletic League (PAL), which previously operated out of the gymnasium on campus; and the Harnett County Work Readiness Training Center, which relocated from a building on the other side of the campus. The facility also includes meeting space for organizations and community events, which may be reserved through the County. As part of the opening of the renovated school building, Parks and Recreation installed an outdoor basketball court and parking lot. In addition to the renovation, the County demolished the original classroom building and gymnasium, which were built in 1949 and had deteriorated to the point where renovation was no longer possible.

These figures demonstrate a 19% increase in the number of in-house library programs and a 10% increase in program attendance over FY 2017-18. The changing role of public libraries, coupled with an increased number of residents seeking programming, constitutes a shift in focus from service desk transactions to hands-on training, programming, and other staff-provided learning opportunities. Programs fill up quickly resulting in long wait-lists and the unfortunate practice of denying services. Increasing the number of programs would require additional staff time. Library staff designated to provide programs have reached the limits of their ability to add programs. Often staff members work on scheduled days off and accrue compensatory time beyond what is acceptable. Without additional staff, the library will not be able to keep up with the increasing need and demand for additional programs. The limited number of circulation employees often results in longer wait times for patrons with reference questions or requesting assistance with computer related issues, public office equipment (copier, scanner, fax, etc.), and the print management station. This often leads to customer and staff frustration.Define ProblemHarnett County 2022-2028 Approved Capital Improvements ProgramPage 72 Public Library -- Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) InstallationApproved-Contracts LetUtilizing a Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) grant available through NC Libraries, purchase and implement RFID and self-check technology. This technology will allow library staff to shift time from checking out materials and managing the collection to meeting the demand for increased programming, solving users' more complex information requests, and assisting with technology-related needs. RFID is recommended over other solutions because of long-term cost-savings. Other benefits of RFID implementation include: •Enhanced customer experience and privacy with self-service options •Improved circulation efficiency with the capability to check in and process multiple items at one time •Improved accuracy of inventory through RFID’s inventory control features •Improved security of library materials •Hire an additional full-time Library Program Specialist to meet the demand for additional programming and patron assistance at a cost of $29,573 plus benefits annually. The salary and benefits cost over 10 years is estimated at $493,417. •Hire two additional part-time Library Program Specialists to meet the demand for additional programming and patron assistance at a cost of $42,857 annually. The salary and benefits cost over 10 years is estimated at $552,426. •Implement RFID and self-check technology that will allow staff time to plan and implement additional programs and reduce wait times at the circulation desk to free staff to focus on more complex information and technology needs. •Do nothing and continue to frustrate and disappoint Harnett County residents that are denied participation in library hosted-programs and less-than-optimal customer service.Reponses to an RFP for RFID self-check system installation and maintenance were received in January of 2020. Proposals were received from five vendors. After careful evaluation of proposed solutions and costs, the library selected Bibliotheca as the RFID project vendor. The project timeline for FY 2020-2021 is comprised of four phases: •Phase 1 (August 2020 – Oct 2020) – Initial project planning, gathering of pre-RFID evaluation metrics, and submitting purchase orders for services and equipment. •Phase 2 (Oct 2020 – January 2021) – Tagging the library’s current collection with RFID tags using leased equipment and installing permanent RFID equipment (including gates, self-check systems, antennas and collection management device) in the new Harnett County Resource Center and Library building. •Phase 3 (January 2021 – February 2021) – Testing RFID equipment and training staff. •Phase 4 (February 2021 – August 2021) – Gathering of post-RFID evaluation metrics and submitting final report for LSTA Project Grant.Implementing RFID requires that library materials are tagged with a special sensor encoded with data. As part of the move to the Harnett Resource Center and Library, the existing collection will be weeded, packed and moved. As each item is being handled, it can also be tagged at the same time resulting in staff time saved.The total FY 2020-2021 cost for this project will be $99,872. The library was awarded an LSTA Project Grant to cover 75% of projects costs ($74,904). The library will be responsible for the remaining $24,968. Ongoing project sustainability is dependent on two costs: annual software and maintenance fees and tagging of new items. Software and maintenance costs will be $11,716 in year two and will increase 3% each year to total $14,1637 in the first five years. If the Library’s collection budget remains steady over the next few years, the library anticipates spending approximately $650 a year to tag all new items.Recommended SolutionAlternativesCurrent Stage of ProjectRelation to Other ProjectsOperating ImpactHarnett County 2022-2028 Approved Capital Improvements ProgramPage 73 Social Services and Commons Area Roof ReplacementApproved-No ContractsReplace roof and repair the supporting structure for the Social Services and Commons buildings, located at 311 W Cornelius Harnett Boulevard, Lillington.Project BudgetPrior toFY 2021Current Year:FY 2021Year 1:FY 2022Year 2:FY 2023Year 3:FY 2024Year 4:FY 2025Year 5:FY 2026ProjectTotalsBudgetYear 6:FY 2027Year 7:FY 2028 Project ElementConstruction00 285,6000000285,600285,60000Contingency00 14,280000014,28014,2800000 299,8800000299,880Total Project Element299,88000Funding SourceCapital Reserves00 299,8800000299,880299,8800000 299,8800000299,880TotalFunding Source299,88000Operating EffectTransfer from General Fund0 149,940 149,9400000299,8800000 149,940 149,9400000299,880TotalOperating Effect000The existing roof is original to the buildings, which opened in 1996.

The site averages 738 per visitors per week. The county leases the one-acre site for $2,500 per year, but only a small fraction of the property is useable, so expansion is not feasible. The small size and inefficient configuration make it inadequate. Newer convenience centers havea more efficient design that offer more waste disposal options and better traffic flow through the site. The Cokesbury Road site is not large enough to segregate pedestrians from vehicles, and traffic backs up onto Cokesbury Road during peak usage, both of which are safety concerns. The site is also located on a narrow secondary road and the entrance and exit are located in a curve, another concern for traffic safety. Last year the county purchased property on Oakridge River Road, Fuquay-Varina to re-locate this convenience center. This 2.5-acre area reserved for the convenience site provides ample room to provide an expanded center that is safer and configured for better traffic flow within the site. It would also offer additional options for waste disposal, such as used oil, oil filters, scrap tires, white goods, and scrap metal. Last year, the county obtained a conditional use permit to build a convenience center on the Oakridge River Road property.The recommendation is to construct a new site on the county owned property at 1979 Oakridge River Rd, Fuquay-Varina, which is better suited to accept the number of vehicles and citizens that utilize the convenience site in this area. This site will provide an ample amount of space to receive trash and recycling in a more user friendly, more accommodating, and safer manner for the Northwest area. Although the need for relocation is prevalent, we are recommending a phased approach to construction starting in FY2022. Phase 1 of 2 would utilize the upper half of the property and would include installation of road and staging area for receiving trash and recycling.

If nothing is done, the circulation within the site, its small size, and its location on Cokesbury Road will continue to create safety concerns for the center’s users. •Utilizing the property the county purchased last year, construct a new convenience center that allows for better circulation within the site and safer entrance into and exit from the site. This option also results in savings from no longer having to lease the Cokesbury Road site.The department is reviewing plans and costs estimates to establish a phased approach to begin construction of Phase 1 in FY 2022. This phased approach will utilize Solid Waste staff and equipment in an effort to proceed with constructing the infrastructure needed, which allows the department to open the site while also providing a significant cost savings. This approach will assist in the efforts and plans to build a capital reserve without exhausting all funds in one fiscal yearThe largest impact will be to general operations by utilizing current landfill staff. Duties and tasks need to be reviewed to make sure everything is covered for general operations at the landfill while workers and equipment are reassigned to this project. By doing a phased approach, this will not impact our budget with aninitial costly effect to expenditures, and expenses can be dispersed over the next two years, while providing a more than adequate space and continued servicesfor waste disposal for our citizens in the area.AlternativesCurrent Stage of ProjectOperating ImpactHarnett County 2022-2028 Approved Capital Improvements ProgramPage 79 Future ProjectsCurrently, the county lacks sufficient data, revenue, or debt capacity to schedule these projects. If these issues are resolved, these projects may appear in a future CIP.Construct a new animal services shelter facility at a location to be determined.Animal Services -- Animal Shelter ReplacementFutureThe existing facility was built more than 25 years ago, with an addition constructed in 2005, and is operating at maximum capacity. It is located on land owned by Harnett Regional Water and is adjacent to the North Harnett Wastewater Treatment Plant. Harnett Regional Water plans to expand the plant in the next five to six years and will need the property on which the animal shelter is located. A new facility could provide needed space for a veterinarian office, a surgical room, and a better environment for adoption of animals, as well as improve the flow of animals from intake through adoption. The new facility would provide space to separate adoptable animals from animals quarantined for health or behavior issues and increase the holding capacity of the shelter . The 32 dog runs and the small 15 cage intake room for cats remain at maximum capacity with multiple cats often occupying one cage. Between 2015 to 2019, 18,424 dogs and cats came to the shelter and of those 5,012 were euthanized, many for lack of space or treatable illness despite being eligible for adoption.There is inadequate space and layout for the treatment and testing of animals, food preparation, laundry and dishes, and adoption visitation. There is one room for laundry and medical, which is also the room where small sick animals are housed. The facility has no onsite space for spay neuter surgeries. When facilitating adoptions, the existing shelter only has one meet and greet room and a dog play yards. Additional areas are needed for adopters to meet with animals and for animals to get exercise outside their kennels which is necessary for enrichment best practices. The single kennel area for all incoming animals contributes to cross contamination and disease. Best practices suggest shelters have separate holding areas for incoming animals, quarantine animals, isolation animals and healthy adoptable animas. The existing shelter has two separate kennel areas - one indoor/outdoor with 16 kennels for intake and 16 all-indoor with side-by-side dividers for adoption-ready animals. Drainage design is via open trench in the holding kennels. Inside, the drain runs one direction, and outside, it runs the opposite direction. The design greatly increases the transmission of disease due to the washing and spraying of excrement past the kennels of young, unvaccinated animals and healthy animals. The open front trench design poses a safety risk. The chain link doors all open outward increasing the difficulty of entering and exiting kennels safely and quickly, which increases the chance for dogs to escape. The doors cause hoses to get caught and pulled into the drain, which increases cleaning time due to constant opening and closing or the maneuvering around doors.Conduct a feasibility study to determine the location, building needs, and cost. •Do nothing and continue to operate as is for the foreseeable future, but this will not address the need for Harnett County Regional Water to expand the Wastewater Treatment plant to expand onto the site of the existing facility, which is needed as a result of increased county growth. •Contract with another group to oversee and manage the animal sheltering capabilities in the county. However, there is no local existing agency with a positive past performance of operating as a shelter to meet the needs and volume of Harnett County.Define ProblemRecommended SolutionAlternativesRepair the drainage system located on the main Harnett Campus, 1075 E. Cornelius Harnett Blvd., Lillington.Central Carolina Community College (CCCC) -- Drainage System RepairFutureHarnett County 2022-2028 Approved Capital Improvements ProgramPage 80 College maintenance staff have determined that the storm water management system, a series of drainage lines that carry runoff from parking lots, is showing signs of failure. The drainage system was installed with the first buildings on campus, is more than 40 years old, and has not been modified as buildings and parking areas have been added. During heavy rainstorms, the parking lot and the area around the Continuing Education building are flooded. The college is concerned that this could eventually affect the structure of the building, impact surrounding trees, and do damage to the parking lot by eroding the soil below the parking lot. Maintenance staff believe the drainage lines are undersized and need to be replaced.Although the county engineer reviewed the problem and a local contractor provided an estimate to replace the system, a full study of the problem that would include future expansion of the campus and a cost estimate is recommended. The college should obtain a cost estimate for the study and request that as part of the FY 2022 operating budget.Define ProblemRecommended SolutionDevelop a building program and cost estimate to finish approximately 12,150 square feet of shell space in the Harnett County Courthouse, located at 301 W Cornelius Harnett Blvd, Lillington to meet Clerk of Court and other court-related needs.Courthouse Shell-Space UpfitFutureWhen the courthouse was originally constructed, 12,150 square feet of the third floor was constructed as “shell space,” meaning the space is not finished and could be renovated to accommodate a range of needs. The original plans called for this space to be future courtrooms.Because the county has not systematically assessed the needs, the third alternative is recommended. The Facilities Maintenance Manager estimates this study would cost approximately $30,000. •Do nothing: The space could remain as is for the foreseeable future, but this would not address court system needs. •Finish the space for courtrooms: While this meets the original intent for the space, there may be other court needs that have not been presented to the county. •Assess all possible court needs, identify the most critical, and hire an architect to develop a building program and cost estimate.The project is currently on hold.The operating impact will be utility costs for gas, water, and electricity.Define ProblemRecommended SolutionAlternativesCurrent Stage of ProjectOperating ImpactImprove or replace the county’s garage, located at 1100 E McNeill St, Lillington, to provide an adequate space for maintaining the county’s increasing fleet, improve wait times for vehicle service, and ensure the safety of garage staff.Fleet Maintenance Facility Improvement or ReplacementFutureThe County’s existing maintenance garage is too small and is inefficiently designed for increased service demands.

A gym was added in 1957 and a media center in 2005. In addition to its age, the school has 242 students, above its rated capacity of 233. The school’s students are projected to exceed the rated capacity over the next seven years, though the student population is not expected to increase significantly. Mobile units provide additional classroom space. The existing site is 5.9 acres and is landlocked, so there is no room to expand the school on site.

Built in 1953, the facility only has six bus bays (two were added in 1998), when 12 are needed. The existing site is not large enough to accommodate a new facility, so the project will involve land acquisition.Define ProblemProject Description: Construct a 55-bed, 8,750-square-foot addition and recreation yard at the Harnett County Detention Center, located at 175 Bain St, Lillington, to continue to receive revenue from housing non-local inmates for other entities.Harnett County Sheriff -- Detention Center Housing Unit AdditionFutureThe county’s detention center opened in 2009. The detention center’s core facilities and the building site were master planned to add three housing units in the future. For the last two years, the Harnett County Sheriff’s Office has submitted as a capital project the construction of one of the housing units. The stated intent of building the housing unit now is to provide secure detention for non-county inmates, such as federal and state prisoners, for which the county receives reimbursement at daily rates of $45 per day for state inmates and $60 for federal. The local jail population is increasing and, it is projected that by FY 2030 the county will no longer have capacity for non-county inmates. In the meantime, this funding source will decline each year as non-county inmates are displaced by local inmates. Because this funding source generates substantial revenue for the county--between $429,443 in FY 2016 and $1,205,967 in FY 2013--the Sheriff’s Office has proposed that building the housing unit will help ensure the county continues to receive this revenue. The Sheriff’s Office has also been encouraged by the US Marshal to house federal inmates. The revenue on the existing jail will decline as the county’s local inmates displace beds currently used for outside inmates. This revenue loss is inevitable. Whether the county builds an additional housing unit is a self-contained decision and has no effect on this revenue loss. The question is whether the new housing unit will generate sufficient revenue to pay the operating and capital costs of the new unit.The county is not in the financial position to build a housing unit that will not be needed for more than 10 years. This would tie up debt capacity that is needed for schools and other county needs. The federal government will not give any guarantees about its usage of the housing unit, leaving the county to assume the financial risk for debt and fixed operating costs. Simply, the risk far outweighs the reward. •Do nothing. If nothing is done, the county will need to begin planning a new jail to open in the early 2030s. In the meantime, the county will avoid the operating cost of the new pod, but will not have revenue to offset the capital cost of the pod in 11+ years. •Five scenarios were developed and based on assumptions about the mix of outside inmates and the occupancy rate of the housing unit. The occupancy rate means of the number of beds available to house outside inmates, what percentage of them are actually used. In the past six years, the occupancy rate has been as low as 33% and as high as 95%. Often these rates are tied to federal policy and the relationship the county has with the US Marshal’s Office. During the Obama administration, the occupancy rates were lower than during the Trump administration. With a presidential election occurring in 2020, federal policy could change again, and in fact, could change two more times before the projected revenue is collected. Likewise, the current US Marshal, who has ties to Harnett County, could be replaced with someone with less interest in housing federal inmates here. If the housing unit is constructed, the county will lose (meaning spend more than the revenue generated) between $2.3 million and $7.2 million during the 10 year period, depending on the assumptions made. In the scenario supported by the Sheriff’s Office, the county would spend $3.6 million more Define ProblemRecommended SolutionAlternativesHarnett County 2022-2028 Approved Capital Improvements ProgramPage 86 than it takes in. •An argument can be made that if revenue covers operating cost, any excess can help offset the capital expense for a housing unit it will need in the future. In two of the scenarios, the housing unit would not cover the operating costs. In the scenario supported by the Sheriff’s Office, the county would generate $594,297 to cover debt service of $4.2M.There has been no change in this future project.If the housing unit project is approved, replacement of the intercom system and video surveillance system could be included as equipment costs and the requested generator could also be added to the project.Current Stage of ProjectRelation to Other ProjectsConstruct a new 1,800-square-foot building at 175 Bain Street, Lillington, to relocate the crime scene processing bay and give the Sheriff’s Office additional evidence storage space.Harnett County Sheriff -- Evidence Storage & Crime Scene Processing BayFutureThe amount of evidence the Sheriff’s Office is required to store is constantly increasing. The existing evidence room has reached capacity.The existing crime scene bay/vehicle processing garage is located next to the evidence storage room.

Additional shelving and an access door would also be needed in the evidence storage room A new building housing the crime scene bay would be constructed in a secure area behind the Detention Center.Construct a separate building for crime scene vehicle processing and expand the existing evidence storage area into the area currently used for vehicle processing. This is recommended as a future project since no cost estimate for site work was obtained. •Do nothing. If nothing is done, the evidence room will not be able to house all of the evidence that is required to be stored. •Find offsite, less secure storage for evidence. •Construct a new building in a secure location and relocate the crime scene processing bay. Expand the existing evidence room in the former processing bay.Define ProblemRecommended SolutionAlternativesPurchase and install a 1,000 KW generator at the Harnett County Sheriff’s Office and Detention Center, located at 175 Bain St, Lillington to provide sufficient backup power to run the building systems, including HVAC.Harnett County Sheriff -- Generator Purchase and InstallationFutureThe existing 400 KW generator runs only the 911 Center fully. It operates life and safety equipment in the Sheriff’s Office and Detention Center, but does not run the heating and air conditioning systems. When the Detention Center loses power, humidity levels rise in the housing units, sometimes to the point where the fire alarm is activated. After power is restored, it may take several hours to reduce humidity levels. Even if power is off only for a short time, the HVAC systems returns to default systems and maintenance staff has to reset them.The state requires the jail to have a plan for moving inmates to other facilities if the power loss is for a sustained period of time and temperatures dip below 68 degrees in the winter and rise above 85 degrees in the summer. To date, no inmates have been moved for this issue.Define ProblemHarnett County 2022-2028 Approved Capital Improvements ProgramPage 87 The Manager recommends evaluating the purchase of the second generator before moving ahead with this project. •Do nothing. If nothing is done, the Detention Center will continue to see problems with the HVAC system not running during periods power is off. Humidity levels and the reset of the HVAC system to default controls will continue to present operational challenges. •Purchase a larger, 1,000 KW generator to run all systems in the Detention Center, Sheriff’s Office, and 911 Center. The Sheriff’s Office has obtained a quote for purchase and installation of the generator, at a cost of $385,960. •Purchase a second, smaller generator. Purchasing a second generator to run the HVAC system would resolve the issue. A second generator would be much less costly and likely less to install. A second generator would also provide redundancy in case one of the generator fails. The only down side would be that maintaining a second generator would be slightly more costly, estimated at around $550 per year.As of mid-October 2020, a vendor has not been on site to evaluate the equipment. The Sheriff’s Office suggests budgeting funds to hire an electrical engineer to evaluate and give recommendations. Cost estimates for the evaluation have not been obtained.If the housing unit project is approved, the generator could be purchased as part of that project. It would add approximately $30,000 per year in debt service costs.The Sheriff’s Office is relying on a 10-year-old generator, which still does not supply back up power for the entire facility. The present generator does not provide back-up to the Sheriff’s offices, only emergency lighting. The 911 Center is fully on the generator for back-up power.Recommended SolutionAlternativesCurrent Stage of ProjectRelation to Other ProjectsOperating ImpactConstruct a 6,969-square-foot airport terminal at HRJ, located at 615 Airport Road, Erwin, to create a “Gateway to Harnett,” improve jetport services, and provide office space for Economic Development.Harnett Regional Jetport (HRJ) -- New Terminal ConstructionFutureBuilt in 1983 the existing 2,200-square-foot terminal is outdated and its waiting area, meeting facilities and pilot spaces are inadequate. Office space for airport staff is also lacking. The terminal’s antiquated design does not portray the county and its economic development efforts in the best light. A 2018 ITRE research study showed the airport has a $176.5 million annual economic impact. Because of its demonstrated connection and potential impact, co-location of the county’s Economic Development offices is desired.Originally, the county planned to use the balance of the Article 44 Capital Reserve for airport projects. The addition of the lighting rehabilitation project (+191,267), an increase in the airport apron project (+62,377), the increase in the terminal project (+824,851), and a misunderstanding about what the state is willing to commit to the project (+293,971) increases the county’s overall cost by $1.4 million to $3.4 million. The increased costs of the airport result from construction costs escalation, unexpected sewer modifications, and fuel filling point relocation. The Article 44 Capital Reserve has a balance of approximately $3 million. The end result is that the county needs to seek additional revenues to fund this project. •Do nothing. If nothing is done, the jetport’s terminal will continue to be outdated and undersized. The limited spaces for meetings, waiting, and pilots makes it less desirable for flights and for use as a meeting space. •Construct a new 6,969-square-foot terminal. The lower level would house two conference rooms, additional office space for airport staff, a pilot lounge with shower area, a larger waiting lounge, and office space for Economic Development.

With time to evaluate these systems, staff will be in a better position to recommend a standardized system. •Do nothing: Without standardizing controls, systems will continue to be out of date, operate on non-secure platforms, and require Facilities staff knowledge of multiple systems. In some cases, the existing systems do not allow the most efficient control of HVAC systems. In addition to having to learn multiple systems, staff cannot always make changes without going through the vendor. •Standardize the controls of the Harnett Resource Center and Library.

The county’s population in the unincorporated area continues to grow faster than the population in its municipalities (between 2010 and 2018, the towns’ population grew 8% while the unincorporated area grew 18%). Given these demographics, it is reasonable to assume that transportation to library services may be challenging for many residents. One objective of Harnett Public Libraries is to provide literacy and lifelong learning opportunities to community members of all ages in Harnett County. The department is unable to realize this objective fully without additional facilities or mobile library services.The Public Libraries Director is recommending that more research be done on the size and features of a mobile outreach vehicle before moving forward with requesting the purchase. She plans to form a planning team to study: •Preferred mobile outreach vehicle size, feature configuration, and adaptability based on community need •Targeted audiences and users •Potential partners •Bookmobile routes and stops •Maintenance costs based on bookmobile model and size •Mileage costs based on routes and fuel efficiency •Staffing needs based on routes, expected number of patrons per stop, bookmobile size and capacity •Collection needs and costs based on bookmobile capacity •Technology needs and costs based on bookmobile capacityHer informal study will involve public surveys, GIS spatial analytic research, bookmobile showroom tour, vendor consults, and discussions with library Define ProblemRecommended SolutionHarnett County 2022-2028 Approved Capital Improvements ProgramPage 93 directors running successful bookmobile programs. The Public Libraries Director believes the study can be conducted in-house at no additional cost to the county. •Build public libraries in closer proximity to the more remote areas of Harnett County. Purchasing land and building new library facilities would be astable, long-term solution to meeting the needs of underserved citizens. This option however will be costly and will require a formal feasibility studyand extensive planning. •Purchase self-service library kiosks to be placed in underserved communities to provide library materials. The cost of a kiosk is about $125,000.Buildings would need to be purchased or leased to permanently house the kiosks. Kiosks do not offer a solution to underserved communities’ needfor programming or access to public computers. •Provide mobile library services in remote areas. One method for accomplishing this is by purchasing a bookmobile whereby materials, programs,technology, and internet access could be delivered to community members in non-traditional settings who may not be within reasonable drivingdistance to a public library. •Do nothing and allow residents living in remote areas of Harnett County to continue to be underserved.AlternativesExpand public library services to residents of western Harnett by renovating an existing building owned by the county or constructing a new facility.Public Library -- Western Harnett Service ExpansionFutureThe 2018-2023 Harnett County Library Master Plan found that the 48,000 residents of western Harnett do not have adequate public library service. Public libraries provide important services that foster economic development, student achievement, and cultural enrichment. Options for addressing this need include renovating an existing 2,000-to-5,000-square-foot building or constructing a new 8,000-to-10,000-square-foot building in an area accessible to western Harnett residents. The county will evaluate these options and, when ready to proceed, conduct a feasibility study to develop reliable cost estimates.Continue to study the needs of Western Harnett. When a possible solution is identified, conduct a feasibility study to determine scope, cost, and possible funding models and options.Define ProblemRecommended SolutionHarnett County 2022-2028 Approved Capital Improvements ProgramPage 94 051721a HCBOC Page 84 051721a HCBOC Page 85 051721a HCBOC Page 86 051721a HCBOC Page 87 051721a HCBOC Page 88 051721a HCBOC Page 89 051721a HCBOC Page 90 051721a HCBOC Page 91 051721a HCBOC Page 92 051721a HCBOC Page 93 051721a HCBOC Page 94 051721a HCBOC Page 95 051721a HCBOC Page 96 051721a HCBOC Page 97 051721a HCBOC Page 98 051721a HCBOC Page 99 051721a HCBOC Page 100 051721a HCBOC Page 101 051721a HCBOC Page 102 051721a HCBOC Page 103 051721a HCBOC Page 104 051721a HCBOC Page 105 051721a HCBOC Page 106 051721a HCBOC Page 107 051721a HCBOC Page 108 051721a HCBOC Page 109 051721a HCBOC Page 110 051721a HCBOC Page 111 051721a HCBOC Page 112 051721a HCBOC Page 113 051721a HCBOC Page 114 051721a HCBOC Page 115 051721a HCBOC Page 116 051721a HCBOC Page 117 051721a HCBOC Page 118 051721a HCBOC Page 119 051721a HCBOC Page 120 051721a HCBOC Page 121 051721a HCBOC Page 122 051721a HCBOC Page 123 051721a HCBOC Page 124 051721a HCBOC Page 125 051721a HCBOC Page 126 051721a HCBOC Page 127 051721a HCBOC Page 128 051721a HCBOC Page 129 051721a HCBOC Page 130 051721a HCBOC Page 131 051721a HCBOC Page 132 051721a HCBOC Page 133
