Ass ist Harnett County in Expanding Broadband Access in Underserved Areas Many portions of Harnett County do not currently have access to broadband . This i s another significant barrier to economic growth in the county. Harnett County asks for assistance in developing infrastructure and providing broadband to underserved areas withi n the county. 2. Address Disparities Related to Funding Formula for Military-Related Students Even though Harnett County has a substantial percentage of military-related students i n its school system , the County receives considerably less in federal funding per student than do surrounding counties. Harnett County seeks increased funding to support the education of these students and reduce the burden on the County's taxpayers. 3. Support Efforts to Expand Natural Gas Capacity Access to natural gas is a basic requirement for many i ndustries and bus inesses looking for sites to locate new facilities. Despite a significant population growth in western Harnett County, a lack of access to natural gas has prevented the commercial and industrial growth that would normally accompany these increases in population. Harnett County seeks assistance in identifying ways to expand natural gas capacity throughout the county. 4. Assist County with Developing Economic Development Products Harnett County currently lacks attractive buildings and sites for industrial prospects. Over the last six months, this has resulted in the inability to respond to 20 out of 23 econom i c development prospects due to the lack of a sufficient product. An increasing number of site searches involving greenfields require the sites to be certified. Harnett County does not currently have any certified sites. Harnett County Economic Development requests assistance in funding the development of shell buildings and certifying sites, which will allow the County to compete for more business and industry to bring increased opportunity and prosperity to the county's residents . 5. Grant County Boards of Commissioners the Ability to Construct Schools The Harnett County Board of Commissioners asks for the authority to construct schoo ls, which will assist the county in efforts to reduce existing and future issues with overcrowding. Currently, only the Board of Education has this authority. 082818wsa Page 2 Additional Priorities Continue Support of Construction of Four Lane Highway into Wake County The lack of a four-lane h ighway connecting Harnett County to Wake County is seen as a sign ificant barrier to economic development in Harnett County. A fou r -lane highway into Wake County would have a significant positive economic impact on Harnett County in terms of commercial and residential development. The county has seen some progress in this area in the last year and asked for continued support of this initiative. Authorize Use of Recreation Fees for Construction Harnett County requests legislation that would grant the county the abil ity to use recreation fees, which are currently received from new development in the county, for construction of recreational amenities as well as land acquisition. At present, counties can only use this revenue for land acquisition while municipalities are allowed to use them for both construction and land acquisition. Allow Counties to use E-911 Funds for E-911 Needs Other than Equipment Harnett County currently has E-911 funds which can only be used to purchase equipment, however the county has fulfilled all existing equipment needs. Harnett County asks for the flexibility to use leftover E- 911 funds for personnel, training and other needs connected to the use of E-911. Reduce Waiting Period to Auction Livestock Harnett County Animal Services requests changes to current requirements for livestock auction and adoption to reduce the burden on taxpayers to hold and care for livestock taken in by the County. Under current requirements, it can sometimes take 20 days to auction livestock, which imposes significant burdens in terms of cost and space on the County. If the animals receive no bids, Animal Services attempts to adopt them at minimal cost to residents. Animal Services requests reducing the 10-day waiting period to auction livestock to three days, which would reduce the stress on animals, as well as the costs required to maintain the an i mals. Address Motor Vehicle Gap Billing Issues While the Tax & Tag Together program has dramatically increased counties' collection rates on motor vehicle property taxes, drivers who are delinquent on their taxes are allowed to begin their new registration period upon payment, creating a gap between the initial expiration date and the new start date . County tax offices may bill for this gap, however it creates confusion for taxpayers and can be difficult to collect. The result is lost revenue for county governments. The Harnett County Tax Office requests requiring the new reg istration period to begin when the previous one ended, or finding another solution that will allow for the inclusion of this gap period within the Tax & Tag Together p rogram to increase collections . 082818wsa Page 3 Allow Counties to Enact Impact Fees to Support Public Education Sim ilar to the recreation fees which are received for new development in the county, Harnett County requests the ability to enact additional fees on new development that assist in funding public education in the county. The County is interested in finding a solution that addresses this issue without putting an added burden on the county's developers such as charging the fee only when a property is sold. Preserve Maternal and Child Health Block Grant Funding The Harnett County Health Department requests preservation of the Federal Maternal and Child Health Block Grant. Since 2012, this grant has been reduced by more than $7 million. In the current fiscal year, this reduction has resulted in a loss of $26,000 to Harnett County's Maternal and Child Health programs. Increase Support of County Veterans Services Programs North Carolina currently provides some funding for the maintenance and operation of county Veterans Services programs. This funding is currently capped at $2,000 per fiscal year per program. Harnett County Veterans Services provides a valuable resource to the county's veteran population. The department requests additional state support of its Veterans Services program . Allow Firefighters at Non-Profit Departments Access to Local Government Retirement System Firefighters in Harnett County and numerous other career non-profit fire departments are not permitted access to the N.C. Local Governmental Employees' Retirement System. This creates a situation where these departments become training grounds for career firefighters who, following training, move on to municipal and county agencies to be eligible for the retirement system. Since 1998, the N.C. State Firefighte rs Association has petitioned the IRS to allow career firefighters employed by non-profit fire departments access to the retirement system. Harnett County Emergency Services asks for this change. 082818wsa Page 4 NORTH CAROLINA ASSOCIATION OF COUNTY COMMISSI Commissioners , County Staff, Affiliates and Related Organizations , It is time to begin the NCACC legislative goals development process for the 2019-2020 biennium .

Shelter Page 10 082818wsa Page 18 TO : FROM: DATE: RE: Introduction d? Parker Poe Memorandum (updated) Harnett County , North Carolina Jeffrey A Poley August 8, 2018 Public Hearings/Resolutions for Regional Housing & Community Service Corporation On behalf our client Regional Housing & Community Service Corporation and its affiliates (the "Borrowers"), we are requesting the Board of Commissioners of Harnett County listed above to hold a public hearing and adopt a resolution to help the Borrowers finance the acquisition and expansion to of the Senter's Memory Care facility in the County. The Borrowers The Borrowers are nonprofit entities and organizations described under Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Borrowers have acquired (or will acquire) Senter's Memory Care and intend to expend and improve the facility (between $3 .5MM to $4MM will be used for the expansion/improvements). The extra beds and the construction will provide jobs from the County. The timing of the final construction of the facility is unknown at this time but is expected within the next year. The Borrowers ' intend to finance the facilities with the help of "qualified 501(c)(3) bonds " issued by the Public Finance Authority . The Public Finance Authority The Public Finance Authority ("PFA") is a comm1ss1on created under the Wisconsin statutes that has the authority to issue conduit bonds for public and private entities nationwide . PFA is sponsored by the National Assoc iation of Counties , the Nationa l League of Cities, the Wisconsin Counties Association and the League of Wisconsin Municipalities. Any debt issued is not debt of the County or the PFA, but rather is payable solely from debt service payments received from the Borrowers. Requirement for County Action Federal tax laws and the laws governing the PFA require that the elected legislative body (or h ighest elected representative) of the governmental unit that has jurisdiction over the area in which a facil ity to be financed with tax-exempt bonds issued by the PFA is located approve the issuance of the bonds by the PFA and the financing of the facility . Prior to this 082818wsa Page 19 Harnett County, North Carolina August 8, 2018 Page 2 approval , a public hearing must be held so that the public is given the opportunity to comment on the bonds and the facility . Note that since the facility is in an unincorporated portion of the County, the County is the only entity able to approve the project. The Bonds are not and will not be deemed to constitute a debt of the County or a pledge of the faith and credit of the County, and are payable solely from the revenues and other funds generated by the assisted living facility. Because no taxes or other revenues of the County are pledged to pay these bonds, the staff of the County does not need to do financial analysis of the Bonds, the Borrowers or the assisted living facilities. Request of Harnett County We request the County to hold a public hearing on the assisted living facilities and their related bonds. After the public hearing, we request the Board of Commissioners to adopt a resolution that approves PFA's issuance of the bonds and the financing of acquisition and expansion of the assisted living facilities. The resolution will provide that: (1) the bonds do not constitute a debt of the County; nor a charge against its general credit or taxing power and (2) the bonds are not an obligation or liability of the County.
