At this time Chairman Burgin read the following prepared statement:
"On Feb. 9, 2016, the Harnett County Board of Commissioners was notified by Harnett
County Sheriff Larry Rollins in closed session of his plans to resign the office of sheriff
effective March 21, 2016, at 5 p.m.
According to Section 162-5 of the North Carolina General Statutes, it is the responsibility
of the county board of commissioners to select a replacement to serve the remainder of a
sheriff's vacated term at the next board meeting following the sheriff's resignation.
We take our responsibility in this matter very seriously and in selecting a new sheriff, we
had the following goals in mind:
• To select a qualified and capable candidate to serve out the remainder
of Sheriff Rollins' term.
• To maintain continuity in the Harnett County Sheriff's Office until such
a time as the citizens of Harnett County have the opportunity to elect a
new sheriff.
• To make sure the process for selecting a new sheriff is fair and efficient.
With these goals in mind, the Harnett County Board of Commissioners interviewed the
three sheriff's majors who currently serve the Harnett County's Sheriff's Office. From
these interviews, the board has selected Maj. Wayne Coats to serve out the remainder of
Sheriff Rollins' term as Harnett County Sheriff. The next election for Harnett County
Sheriff will be held Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2018.
In selecting Maj. Coats as sheriff, the board considered his 22 years of law enforcement
experien ce with 20 of those years spent with the Harnett County Sheriff's Office, first as a
deputy assigned to Campbell University and then as an employee working his way up
through the Sheriff's Office, as well as the level of respect that other members of the
Sheriff's Office have for him, and his dedication to serving the citizens of Harnett County.
We look forward to working with Sheriff Coats, and we thank Sheriff Rollins for his
service and wish him well. "
Commissioner McKoy moved that:
1) the Board of Commissioners acknowledge the receipt of Larry W. Rollins' resignation
as SheriffofHamett County effective March 21,2016 at 5:00p.m.; and

2) Major Wayne A. Coats of the Harnett County Sheriffs Department be elected by the
Harnett County Board of Commissioners as Sheriff of Harnett County for the
remainder of Sheriff Larry W. Rollins' term of office.
This motion is made pursuant to the provisions ofN.C. G.S . Section 162-3 and 5. Commissioner
Elmore seconded the motion which passed unanimously.

must have a united vision. Mr. Nystrom asked commissioners to always reach out to the
citizens, hear their concerns, formulate plans and let their actions always reflect the will of
the people.
-Jimmy McCormick of 713 McCormick Road in Sanford said the new Benhaven Elementary
School is waiting to be constructed. Mr. McCormick said it's been some months since the
land was transferred to the School Board. He urged whatever differences that the
commissioners and School Board have that it might be worked out quickly so our children
don't have to wait in an old old building that we know has mold and many things that are not
healthy for children.

22 high school students to Skills USA and out of 63 participants Harnett County took the top 15
slots.
Mr. Hocutt said their class enrollment is growing and 35 students are currently enrolled in the
program. He said other schools want to visit Harnett County to understand their success with the
program. He also said if it wasn't for donations from fire departments and local companies they
couldn't do all that they do. Mr. Hocutt called upon CT Director Lynn Hartley who presented a
thank you plaque to Erwin Fire Department's Chief Wilkins and Chief Pope for their donation of
a fire truck and support to the academy.
Mark Locklear, Director of Harnett County Development Services, petitioned the Board for a
public hearing -Proposed Zoning Change: Case # RZ-16-04; Landowner/ Applicant: Harriet
Marshall & Vivian Clark Chance et al/Erwin McNeill, Harold Gilchrist, The Smith Heirs, etc.
12.7 +/-acres out of a 27.17 acre tract; Pin #9594-35-2654; From RA-20R to Commercial; NC
Hwy 24/87; Anderson Creek Township. Mr. Locklear noted on February 1, 2016 the Harnett
County Planning Board voted unanimously (5-0) to recommend approval of this Rezoning
application based on compatibility to the surrounding properties as well as adjacent zoning
district.
Mr. Locklear reported the site is currently wooded, and located adjacent to the new Wal-Mart
shopping area. Surrounding land uses include single family residential homes and residential
subdivisions, undeveloped and federally owned land. A variety of commercial development is
within close proximity. Harnett County public water and sewer are available. Mr. Locklear
noted as required for all zoning changes within a five mile radius of Fort Bragg, the Regional
Land Use Advisory Commission was contacted and did not have any comments.
Mr. Locklear stated staffs evaluation as:
The IMP ACT to the adjacent property owners and the surrounding community is
reasonable, and the benefits of the rezoning outweigh any potential inconvenience or
harm to the community. REASONING: In the vicinity ofthe subject property, non-
residential development has progressed at a stable pace. The requested rezoning
change to Commercial will not have a negative impact on the surrounding properties
or the community as it is similar in nature to certain existing zoning districts in the
area.
The requested zoning district is COMPATIBLE with the existing Land Use
Classification. REASONING: The requested zoning is compatible with the existing
land use classification of Compact Mixed Use. The Compact Mixed activity centers
are "growing areas of the county". They encourage a different combination of uses
such as: commercial, civic, institutional, as well as single family and multi-family
developments.
March 21, 2016, Regular Meeting Minutes
Harnett County Board of Commissioners
Page 6 of9
040416 HC BOC Page 8
The proposal does ENHANCE or maintain the public health, safety and general
welfare. REASONING: The proposed commercial zoning is more appropriate for
this site due to properties to the North and South zoned commercial as well as the
adjacent property . The proposed zoning would enhance the public health and general
welfare.
This request is NOT for a SMALL SCALE REZONING and should not be evaluated
for reasonableness. REASONING: This request does not need to be evaluated for a
small scale rezoning due to the property's size as well as it being adjacent to the
proposed zoning district.
Suggested Statement-of-Consistency: Staff concludes that the requested rezoning to Commercial
is compatible with Harnett County regulatory documents and would not have an unreasonable
impact on the surrounding community and will enhance the public health, safety, and general
welfare for the reasons stated in the evaluation. It is recommended that this rezoning request be
approved.
Chairman Burgin called to order a public hearing on the matter and opened the meeting for
comments from the public.
-Applicant Erwin McNeil of 6 Long Leaf Circle in Cameron spoke in favor of the
rezoning request.
Seeing no one else move, Chairman Burgin closed the public hearing. Commissioner Elmore
moved to approve the rezoning as presented. Commissioner McKoy seconded the motion which
passed unanimously.
Mr. Locklear petitioned the board for a public hearing -UDO Text Amendment to Article V
(Use Regulations), Section I .2 (Table of Use Types and Regulations). Mr. Locklear explained
the reason for the change is to allow Recycling & Solid Waste Convenient Sites to exist, via a
conditional use permit, within the Office & Institutional and RA-40 zoning districts. Mr.
Locklear noted after a discussion at thei r March 7, 2016 meeting , the Harnett County Planning
Board voted unanimously (5-0) to recommend approval of this proposed text amendment.
Suggested Statement-of-Consistency: Staff concludes that the requested text amendment is
compatible with Harnett County regulatory documents, and the benefits outweigh any potential
inconvenience or harm to the community, particularly s ince a conditional use permit would be
required. Therefore, it is recommended that this text amendment be approved.
Chairman Burgin called to order a public hearing on the matter and opened the meeting for
comments from the public.
-An unidentified citizen spoke from the audience. He asked why this change is being
made. Mr. Locklear responded Harnett County Solid Waste wants to locate a convenient
site in a zoning classification that currently doesn't allow for such. This change would
give them the opportunity to apply for a conditional use permit through the Harnett
County Board of Adjustment.
Seeing no one move, Chairman Burgin closed the public hearing. Vice Chairman Springle
moved to approve the U DO text amendment as presented. Commissioner Miller seconded the
motion which passed unanimously. (Attachment 3)

Mr. Locklear petitioned the board for a public hearing-UDO Text Amendment to Article IV
(Zoning & Overlay Districts), Section 14.1.10 (Building Height, Required), Section 14.3.5
(Compatibility Design Concept Table); Article V (Use Regulations), Section 1.2 (Table of Use
Types and Regulations), Section 3.2.1 (Multifamily Residential Development: General
Regulations), Section 8.2.3 (Manufacturing, Light), Section 11.8.3 (Planned Unit Development
Design Guidelines); Article VII Development Design Guidelines, Section 4.0 (Sidewalk
Standards). Mr. Locklear explained the proposed text amendment is to update the U.D.O. with
the current Land Use classifications as listed in the new Comprehensive Land Use Plan, He said
this is basically a clean-up because once the new Land Use Plan was adopted the language didn't
"mesh" with our U.D.O. classifications which were based off of the old land use plan.
Chairman Burgin called to order a public hearing on the matter and opened the meeting for
comments from the public. Seeing no one move, Chairman Burgin closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Elmore moved to approve the UDO text amendments as presented.
Commissioner McKoy seconded the motion which passed unanimously. (Attachment 4)

comments from the public. Seeing no one move, Chairman Burgin closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Miller moved to approve the execution, delivery and performance of the Contract
and the Deed of Trust and the projects to be financed. Vice Chairman Springle seconded the
motion which passed unanimously.
Mrs. Honeycutt petitioned the board for a public hearing concerning the approval of the
execution, delivery and performance of the New Contract and the New Deed of Trust and
the projects to be refinanced thereby. The Board of Commissioners of the County of
Harnett, North Carolina considered approval to authorize the County to proceed to enter
into a deed of trust, security agreement and fixture filing under which the County will
grant a lien on the real property. Mrs. Honeycutt also requested award of the refmancing
of the 2009 Certificates of Participation (COPS), $29,075,000, to Regions Bank who

101 N. Tryo n Street Ste. 1220
Charl otte, NC 28246
Davenport & Compan y LLC ("Davenport"), on behalf of Harnett County, NC (the "County"), distributed a
Request for Proposals ("RFP ") to secure a Direct Bank Loan to advance refund all or a portion of the County's
outstanding Certificates of Participation, Series 2009 (the "2009 COPs ") and fund the associated Costs of
Issuance.
The RFP was distributed to over 35 National, Regional, and Local Banks. After the initial distribution,
Davenport contacted each of the potential bidders to assess their interest in the financing and address any
questions they had.
The RFP also requested that responding institutions provide interest rate proposals for two different funding
scenarios. These scenarios were designed to provide the County with the option to either refund just the
callable maturities of the 2009 COPs (6/1/2020 -6/1/2029) or refund all outstanding maturities of the
2009 COPs (6/1/2016 -6/1/2029). A summary of the scenarios requested is outlined below:
Option A:
Option B:
RFP Responses
Refund the callable maturities of the 2009 COPs
Refund all outstanding maturities of the 2009 COPs
Through this process , the County was able to secure four responses to the RFP, including:
1 . Capital One Public Funding ("Capital One");
2. PNC Public Finance ("PNC ");
3. Raymond James Capital Funding ("Ra ymond James "); and
4. Reg ions Capital Advanta~e ("Regions").
The following pages contain a summary of the key terms and conditions for each of the responses received .

Discussion Points
1. Interest Rate
While all four banks submitted proposals consistent with the RFP spec ificat ions, Ra ymond James and Regions
offered the lowest interest rates, as shown in Table 1 below. The rates offered by all of the banks are fixed
through the final maturity of the loan and will be held firm for a closing by April 22 2016.

1 Rate a vailable if the County agrees to establ ish commercial ca rd with Regions within 120 days of loan c losing.
2. Prepayment Prov isions
Prepayment provisions offered by the four bank proposals are shown in Tabl e 2 below.
Table 2: Summary of Prepayment Provisions

Capital On e Option A-No call until 06/01/22, then at par on any in terest payment da t e
Option B -No ca ll until 06/01/23, then at par on any interest payment date
1 Prior to this date, the loan may not be prepaid in whole or in part without consent of the Lender.
2 Partial prepayment s shall be applied in inve rs e order of maturity and shall be subject to a minimum amount of $500,000.
3 A make-whole call will allow the County to prepay or pay off the loan prior to maturity; however, it effectively eliminates the potent ia l to ach1eve any
future debt service savings.

3. Collateral
The 2009 COPs are curren tly secured by a Deed of Trust and security interest in both Boone Trail Elementary
School and Harnett Central High School (t he "Facilities "). Under Option A, the County would continue to secure
the loan with both Boone Trai l Elementary School and Harnett Central High School. Option B allows the County
to potentially release one of the pledged Facilities . A summary of the proposed collateral requirements for
Option B is found in Table 3 below.

4. Other Considerations
Regions' proposa l included a lower interest rate option, shou ld the County establ is h a commercial card
program with Regions. Based on discussions with County Staff, it is Davenport's understanding that t he County
was already in the process of pursuing a commercial card program with Regions prior to the distribution of the
RFP. As such, the lo wer interest rate option provided by Regions is a viable option for the County to consider.

Recommendation
Based upon our review of the proposals, related analyses , and discussions with County Staff and Bond

the other bank proposals and the estimated current public markets. Additionally, the Regions proposal
provides the County the opportunity to prepay the loan , if desired.

Summary
March 2 1 , 2016
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commisston (the "SEC") has clarified that a broker. dealer or muntcipal secunties dealer engaging in municipal
advisory activities outside the scope of underwriting a particular issuance of municipal securities should be subject to muni cipal advisor registration.
Davenport & Company LLC ("Davenport") has registered as a municipal advisor with the SEC. As a reg istered municipal advisor Davenport may provide
advice to a municipal enttty or obligated person. An obligated person is an entity other than a municipal entity, such as a not for profit corporation, that
has commenced an application or negotiation with an entity to issue municipal securities on its behalf and for which it will provide support. If and when
an issuer engages Davenport to provide financial advisory or consultant services wtth respect to the issuance of municipal securities, Davenport is
obltgated to evidence such a ftnancial advisory relationship with a written agreement.
When acting as a regtstered municipal advisor Davenport is a fiduciary required by federal law to act in the best tnterest of a municipal entity without
regard to its own ftnancial or other int erests. Davenport ts not a fiduciary when it acts as a registered tnvestment advisor, when advtsing an obligated
person. or when acttng as an underwriter, though it is required to deal fairly with such persons.

will be excludible from gross income for federal income tax purposes, to pay the cost of
acquiring a fire truck and certain related equipment and , if applicable, to pay certain

PURPOSE
Providing safe working conditions is essential to protecting the employees and assets of
Harnett County ("County"). For the safety of County employees and the public, the
County seeks to allow only employees with a safe driving history to operate County
vehicles . The term "County vehicles" shall include all vehicles owned , leased or rented by
the County .
The purpose of the Vehicle Use Policy shall be to establish a policy on the use of County
vehicles to ensure proper preventive maintenance procedures are being followed , that
repairs are being handled correctly and cost efficiently, and that vehicles are being utilized
correctly . The Vehicle Use Policy also addresses County employees' use of personal
vehicles while conducting County business.
The Board of County Commissioners delegates to the County Manager the authority to
deviate from this Policy as the Manager deems necessary to serve the best interests of
the County. In addition , use of Sheriff's vehicles for law enforcement activities shall be at
the discretion of the Harnett County Sheriff. Any such deviation from this Policy or
discretionary use of vehicles must, however, comply with applicable law.
Violation of the Vehicle Use Policy is subject to disciplinary action .
NO PRIVATE USE
The use of a County vehicle is governed by North Carolina General Statutes , the Internal
Revenue Code and County policies. General Statute 14-247 states that "It shall be
unlawful for any officer, agent or employee ... of a county ... to use for any private purpose
whatsoever any motor vehicle of any type or description whatsoever belonging to ... any
county ... " As this statute explains , "It is not a private purpose to drive a permanently
assigned state-owned [County owned] motor vehicle between one 's official workstation
and one 's home ... "
Harnett County may assign employees the use of vehicles for commuting purposes ,
between work and home, when it is necessary for the performance of duties related to
the delivery of essential services. The Department Head must approve the commuting
arrangement and obtain the County Manager's approval before an assigned vehicle may
be taken home. County employees who live outside the County will be allowed to
commute in County vehicles if it is in the best interests of the County as determined by
the County Manager. Once the commuting arrangement has been fully approved , the
Department Head must notify the County Finance Department.
Approved commuters are permitted the use of County vehicles ass igned to them for: 1)
travel between work and home (shortest, most direct route), or 2) to obtain meals and
other work related necessities while on duty.
County vehicles shall be used for official County business only.
2
040416 HC BOC Page 134
W I THHOLDING REQUI REMENTS FOR COMMUTERS
The County of Harnett follows the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), located in IRS
Publication 15-8, that requires the value of using a County vehicle for commuting to and
from work to be taxed as income subject to Federal , State and FICA withholding
requirements .
Personal use for commuting:
• The vehicle is owned or leased by the County .
• The vehicle is provided to the employee for "official" government use .
• The County requires the employee to commute in a County owned or leased
vehicle due to a valid non-compensatory "official" government purpose.
If more than one employee is required to commute in the same County owned or leased
vehicle for an "official" government purpose , THEN the "Code" commuting valuation shall
apply to each employee in the vehicle.
Certain types of vehicles are specifically excluded from the "code" requirement of taxing
the value of commuting in a County vehicle. These vehicles include all Sheriffs
Department Vehicles, all Emergency Services Department Vehicles , any vehicle
designed to carry cargo with a loaded gross vehicle weight over 14 ,000 pounds, dump
trucks (including garbage trucks), flatbed trucks and "qualified special ized utility trucks "
which is defined as any truck (not including a van or pick-up truck) specifically designed
and used to carry heavy tools , equipment, or parts , if shelves, racks or other permanent
interior construction have been installed to carry and store such items . A pick-up truck
with only a toolbox attached is therefore not exempt.

County Vehicles , who hold a valid North Carolina driver's license and who meet the
following Driver Qualifications, shall be allowed to operate County vehicles or drive their
personal vehicles while conducting County business :

reasons related to unsafe driving practices.

or any other drug or alcohol related arrest while driving, whether on or off duty, to their
Department Head and the Risk Management & Safety Coordinator. The employee's
driving privileges will be suspended until final disposition by the courts. Failure to report
the arrest will be considered a failure in job performance and/or personal conduct and
shall be grounds for disciplinary action.
The Risk Management & Safety Coordinator, or his or her designee, shall be responsible
for securing motor vehicle records ("MVR Reports") for all employees at time of hire and
for cause. MVR reports shall be secured every three years for employees either assigned
a county vehicle or who drive any vehicle more than 10% of his/her work time .

problem with the vehicle. The Garage will keep one copy of the form to ensure that all
necessary repairs shall be done, and the veh icle operator will return the other copy to his
