WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners of the County (the "Board') hereby determines that it is in the best interests of the County to finance the acquisition, construction and equipping of a new Government Services Complex (the "Projecf'); WHEREAS, in order to accomplish the Project, the County proposes to execute and deliver an installment financing contract (the "Contract ") in an amount not to exceed $25,000,000 to finance the Project and enter into a deed of trust, security agreement and fixture filing (the "Deed ofTrusf') related to the County's fee simple interest in the real property on which the Project is located and all improvements thereon; 080519a HCBOC Page 17 WHEREAS, the Board hereby determines that the acquisition of the Project is essential to the County's proper, efficient, and economic operation and to the general health and welfare of its inhabitants and will provide an essential use and permit the County to carry out public functions that it is authorized by law to perform;

WHEREAS, although the cost of financing the Project pursuant to the Contract is expected to exceed the cost of financing the Project pursuant to a bond financing for the same undertaking, the County hereby determines that the cost of financing the Project pursuant to the Contract and the obligations of the County thereunder are preferable to a general obligation bond financing or revenue bond financing for several reasons, including but not limited to the following: (1) the cost of a special election necessary to approve a general obligation bond financing, as required by the laws of the State, would result in the expenditure of significant funds;

The Dunn-Erwin Rail Trail Authority has asked commissioners to adopt rules and regulations for the Rail Trail to allow for enforcement along the trail by local law enforcement. The Rail-Trail Authority has recommended approval of the attached rules and regulations by the Board of Commissioners. County Administration met with Parks & Recreation, Legal and staff with the Hamett County Sheriffs Office to come up with the proposed rules and regulations, and to discuss enforcement. The most feasible option for enforcement, it was agreed, would be through enforcement of trespas sing on the Rail Trail. These rules, upon adoption, will be posted at major trail entrances with an abbreviated list of rules posted at minor trail entrances.

State, 346 NC 336 (1997) The General Assembly may assign to units of local government such responsibility for the financial support of the free public schools as it may deem appropriate.The governing boards of units of local government with financial responsibility for public education may use local revenues to add to or supplement any public school or post-secondary school program. Article IX, Sect. 2(2) The constitution “expressly authorizes the General Assembly to require that local governments bear part of the costs of their local public schools. Further, it expressly provides that local governments may add to or supplement their school programs as much as they wish….” Leandro v. State, 346 NC 336 (1997) Inputs Outputs •Every school is provided in the most cost-effective manner, the resources necessary to support effective instruction within that school so that all children,
