7. Resolution by the Harnett County Board of Commissioners in Support of Harnett
Training Campus Renovation Project. (Attachment 3)
Chairman Miller opened the floor for informal comments by the public, allowing up to 3 minutes
for each presentation up to 30 minutes.
- Susan Byerly of 407 Old Post Road in Erwin spoke on behalf of the Harnett County
Parents as Teachers Advisory Board and Program Director. Mrs. Byerly said this
program has been nationally recognized as it teaches parents how to parent in the most
effective way. She said the group appreciates the County allowing them to continue as
they seek funding from grants and different resources.
Commissioner Burgin asked if the group would be able to reapply for funding from the original
provider the following year which they will.
Commissioner Burgin moved to approve the appointments listed below. Commissioner Springle
seconded the motion which passed unanimously.
HARNETT NURSING HOME COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE
LaConda Davenport (nominated by Commissioner Hill) was appointed to serve on this
committee for a term of one year expiring July 31, 2015.
HISTORIC PROPERTIES COMMISSION
Donna M. Johnson (nominated by Commissioner Springle) was reappointed to serve on
this commission for a term of 3 years expiring June 30, 2017.
SOCIAL SERVICES BOARD
Mrs. Billie Bryant (nominated by Commissioner Springle) was appointed to serve on the
DSS Board for a term of three years expiring June 30, 2017.
Mrs. Slusser petitioned the Board for a public hearing on Adoption of Bond Order Authorizing
the Issuance of $100,000,000 General Obligation School Bonds of the County of Harnett, North
Carolina.
Chairman Miller called to order a public hearing on the matter and opened the meeting for
comments from the public.
- Susan Ware of 393 Ponderosa Trail in Cameron asked if the $100 Million for the bonds
was above and beyond the tax that was voted on last fall and asked how far out this is
projecting. Mrs. Ware also suggested that they take leadership from the big box stores
and not over -plan yet have one architectural standard for each of the three school levels.
Superintendent Tom Frye responded that it was above and beyond the recent sales tax increase
and was projected through 2018. Mr. Frye noted the $100 Million is only a portion of the entire
$210 Million Board of Education Capital Building Plan. Mr. Frye also reported that the Board of
Commissioners and Board of Education had met in the summer of 2011 and established an
July 21, 2014, Regular Meeting Minutes

architectural standard for an elementary, middle and high school. Seeing no one else move,
Chairman Miller closed the public hearing.
Vice Chairman House moved to adopt the Bond Order Authorizing the Issuance of $100,000,000
General Obligation School Bonds of the County of Harnett, North Carolina. Commissioner Hill
seconded the motion. Commissioner Burgin asked if the Board approves this if they would then
be locked in to the projects, amounts or contractors listed. Mr. Burns and Mr. Frye clarified that
they would be locked into the projects but they would not be locked into the amounts or a
particular contractor; with the exception of using the selected prototypes for the schools, as the
projects would have to go through the procurement process. Commissioner Burgin reiterated
that he was fine with this as long they are not locked into a particular contractor or construction
company.
Commissioner Burgin, referencing the LFG-108 Form provided in the package for review, said
people need to know they are talking about a 12.3 cents property taxes increase for the $9.5
million dollars appropriated in 2016/17/18. Mr. Burns noted this would be based on the time of
issuance and noting the LFG-108 Form is based on the debt schedule and the Board would have
to set the tax rate determinate to generate that amount. Mr. Burns responded to additional
questions regarding the Statement of Debt provided. Mr. Burns also confirmed that the total
estimated interest on the bonds is $52,500,000 based on the assumption of the general obligation
bonds being issued in the amount of $100 Million at an estimated interest rate of 5% with level
principal amortization for 20 years. Mr. Frye added that the Board of Education did not include
the Southwest Elementary School in the list because the quarter cent sales tax is to be dedicated
for that purpose.
The motion to adopt the Bond Order Authorizing the Issuance of $100,000,000 General
Obligation School Bonds of the County of Harnett, North Carolina, passed unanimously.
(Attachment 4)
Vice Chairman House moved to adopt the Resolution Setting a Special Bond Referendum and
Directing the Publication of Notice of a Special Bond Referendum and Notification of the
Harnett County Board of Elections. Commissioner Springle seconded the motion which passed
unanimously. (Attachment 5)
Mr. Burns presented the following reports:
- Community Development Monthly Perfoiuiance Report — June 2014
- Planning Services Report — June 2014
- Department of Public Health Activities Summary — June 2014
- Interdepartmental Budget Amendments
Mr. Burns noted the interdepartmental budget amendments included in the package were clean-
up amendments to get the books in order prior to the close of the year.
Mr. Burns also noted Harnett County had recently earned the SHIIP County of the Year Award.
SHIIP's coordinating site in Harnett County is the Harnett County Council on Aging/RSVP
where SHIIP volunteers provided counseling to clients and reach out to residents through various
efforts.

Page 7 of 8
Chairman Milled called for any new business. Commissioner Burgin said again he thinks we
needed an update from Harnett Health, an update from Harnett Forward Together Committee, ne
meet with the Board of Education on a regular basis, get in line to get a quarterly report on the
health insurance as well as meeting with our Planning and Inspections Department and
developers. Commissioner Burgin responded that in meeting with the developers he hopes to see
what we can do to be "more in tune" as he get complaints all the time from builders on how it
would be easier to do things in Harnett County. He said developers need to understand that
schools are going to get capped; they need to understand what is happening by us approving all
of these lots. Commissioner Burgin also said we need to talk to developers about taking some of
the approved lots back where they haven't done anything on them in the last 10 or 15 years. Mr.
Frye noted Over Hills High School, Lafayette Elementary School and Overhills Elementary
School were capped this past year. Commissioner Burgin said he thinks the School Board
should also be involved in the meeting with developers. Superintendent Frye commented that
the Planning Department has been very good providing the School Board with information.
Chaiiuian Miller said only one developer has contacted him since he had been on the Board and
that developer ended up owing Public Utilities over $60,000, owed the Tax Department $39,000
and his partner owed $50,000. Chairman Miller said he would like to know who will be invited
to the meeting with developers so that information can be verified prior to the meeting.
Commissioner Burgin said he thinks everybody who has lots approved in this county should be
invited to this meeting which should be open with ground rules stated in the beginning.
Commissioner Burgin said he believes reasonable developers will agree to an additional $5,000
or $10,000 fee per lot that would go toward a school in areas where schools are needed.
Discussions regarding the proposed meeting with developers continued. Mr. Burns noted staff
had previously met with a lot of the developers and most of their issues were regarding utility
fees. Chairman Miller asked that the Planning Department distribute a list of developers as well
as who will attend this meeting. It was the consensus of the group that county representatives
from Public Utilities, Health Department, Planning & Inspections, Fire Marshal's Office;
basically Development Review Board representatives, should attend this meeting as well as
inviting the School Board.
Commissioner Burgin moved that the Board go into closed session to consider a personnel
matter. This motion was made pursuant to NC G.S. 143-318.11(a)(6). Commissioner Springle
seconded the motion which passed unanimously.
Commissioner Burgin moved that the Board come out of closed session. Commissioner Springle
seconded the motion which passed unanimously.
