establish a Four Year Reappraisal Cycle. Mr. Faulkner discussed recommendations to out-

Mr. Faulkner said staff has received out-sourcing estimates from three reputable reappraisal
firms ranging from $1,638,473 to $2,405,825. Staff projects there will be an increase in overall

formally approve the appointments during their upcoming meeting.

certain portions of the unmaintained rights-of-way of Senter Street, Betts Street, and Byrd Street.
Mr. Appel said when these streets were originally recorded they were dedicated but never used;
they existed on paper only. He reviewed the two methods that would allow Par 5 Development
to abandon these right of ways. Mr. Appel said he believes it is the County's best interest to
adopt a resolution calling a public hearing on the matter. The Board will consider a Resolution

Street, Betts Street, and Byrd Street, and Calling a Public Hearing on the Question during their
upcoming regular meeting.

Hamett County Emergency Services Director Jimmy Riddle requested approval to transfer funds
within his budget to offset the cost of purchasing a new ambulance. He said funds from lapse
Salaries & Wages due to the EM Coordinator position on hold for six months and from
Contracted Services due to pending A VL activation could be used to purchase the new
ambulance. Commissioners will consider approving the budget amendments to budget funds to
the lnterfund Transfer Capital Reserve during their upcoming regular meeting. Commissioners
thanked Mr. Riddle, who is retiring soon, for having done such a tremendous job for the County.
Mrs. Stewart noted that that EMS Billing agenda item would be discussed in closed session due
to potential litigation.
Hamett County Information Technology Director Ira Hall talked about the Broadband
Aggregation and Adoption Tool Survey. He gave a quick overview of staff's efforts to try to get
broadband across the County. Mr. Hall said this survey would determine what our businesses
and residents need. Discussions continued.
Clint Williams, Hamett County GIS/E-911 Administrator, reviewed information to support the
request that the Board of Commissioners:
1. Adopt the location of the boundary line between Harnett County and Chatham
County in accordance with the plat prepared by North Carolina Geodetic Survey, and
adopts the joint resolution.
2. Direct the Hamett County Tax Administrator to assess parcels, or portions thereof,
that have previously been assessed in Chatham County but will now be in Harnett
County, in accordance with the plat prepared by North Carolina Geodetic Survey and
mutually agreed to by the Board and the Chatham County Board of Commissioners.
Mr. Williams reviewed preliminary estimates summarizing the property impacts along the
Hamett/Chatham County boundary line which showed the estimated tax value gain for Hamett
County would be $456,368 and estimated tax revenue gain of $3,423.
Mr. Williams provided a brief background on this issue. He noted uncertainty with the location
of county boundary lines is not uncommon in North Carolina. Today's technology can locate
boundary lines much more precisely and uncover discrepancies in those boundaries. The current
issue has been prompted by differences between the boundary lines that Hamett County uses
verses the one that Chatham County uses. In some instances, the boundary line used between the
two counties varies as much as several hundred feet . This has resulted in confusion over the
delivery of services and tax assessment to properties along the boundary line. Harnett and
Chatham County staff requested North Carolina Geodetic Survey to conduct historical research
and field work to determine the accurate location of the shared boundary line.
Commissioners will consider approval of the Joint Resolution Adopting North Carolina's
Geodetic Survey's Resurvey of the Common Boundary between Harnett County and Chatham
County during their upcoming meeting.

Understanding (MOU) with CCCC. She confirmed that the MOU is a five-year commitment.
Mrs. Stewart noted CCCC would like to start promoting the program in January for enrollment in
the fall. Commissioner Miller asked about what kinds of monies or benefits might be available if
the County did a joint-use library with CCCC. Discussions continued. Commissioners will
consider approval of the Hamett County Promise Memorandum of Understanding during their
upcoming meeting.

CCCC will bill the County for the number of students that actually take advantage of the program.
The appropriation for the first year of operation is up to $200,000 and up to $400,000 per year for
the following three years. Prior to the FY 2024 budget being completed, CCCC and Hamett

},>, The Public Finance Authority: The Public Finance Authority ("PF A ") is a commission
created under the Wisconsin statutes that has the authority to issue conduit bonds for public
and private entities nationwide. PF A is sponsored by the National Association of Counties,
the National League of Cities, the Wisconsin Counties Association and the League of
Wisconsin Municipalities. Any debt issued is not debt of the County or the PF A, 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 PF A require
that the elected legislative body (or highest elected representative) of the governmental unit
that has jurisdiction over the area in which a facility to be financed with tax-exempt bonds
issued by the PF A is located approve the issuance of the bonds by the PF A and the financing
of the facility . Prior to this 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
August 28, 2018 Work Session Minutes
Harnett County Board of Commissioners
Page 2 of 4
081720 HC BOC Page 29
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 facility.
)"' Request of Harnett County: We request the County to hold a public hearing on the assisted
living facility and their related bonds. After the public hearing, we request the Board of
Commissioners to adopt a resolution that approves PF A's issuance of the bonds and the
financing of acquisition of expansion of the assisted living facilities. The resolution will
provide that: ( 1) the bonds do not constitute a debt of the County; nor a change against its
general credit or taxing power, and (2) the bonds are not an obligation or liability of the
County.
Mr. Leo Daughtry, former NC Representative, addressed the Board expressing his support for
this project. Mr. Poley concurred with removing "public benefit" from the proposed resolution
as suggested by Staff Attorney Christopher Appel. The Board will hold a public hearing on
Monday, September 17, 2018 and consider a resolution regarding the issuance by the Public
Finance Authority of its assisted living revenue bonds, in one or more series, in the principal
amount not to exceed $8,500,000, for the purpose of financing or refinancing the acquisition and
construction of certain assisted living facilities located in the county; and other related matters .
Senior Staff Attorney Monica Jackson and General Services Director Barry Blevins presented
revised Airport Committee Bylaws for discussion purposes. Staff suggested in lieu of
disbanding the Airport Committee that commissioners consider amending the bylaws including
revising the membership requirements and appointing new people to serve on the committee.
Discussions continued. Staff will discuss the revised bylaws with the Airport Committee in
October and then come back to the Board.
Mr. Blevins requested approval of a new full-time position in Animal Services for shelter
operations and an additional $7,100 to fund the position in FY2019. Mr. Blevins briefly shared
background information of Animal Services and discussed duties of Animal Control and Animal
Services. He said this request is in response to positive changes in shelter operations and
additional animal intake resulting from the separation of Animal Control and Animal Shelter.
Mr. Blevins noted shelter operations tempo has increased due to increased testing, disease
testing, higher demand for vaccinations, public outreach and behavior testing.
The group watched Harnett County 's new marketing video .
Mrs. Stewart reviewed the proposed September 4, 2018 regular meeting agenda and draft
September 11, 2018 work session agenda. She also reviewed invitations and upcoming
meetings. The group discussed the County's Mid-Carolina COG membership.

Mrs . Stewart noted the County has been approached by NC DOT about relocating graves that are
located in the proposed right of way of the planned widening ofl-95. She said there are statutes
that govern how this must be done and in the near future NC DOT will request that the Board
approve the necessity to disinter and re-inter the deceased.
Mrs . Stewart presented a letter asking the Board to approve Brian Haney, Assistant County
Manager, as the person designated to exercise the powers and perform the duties of county
manager while she is out of the country August 31 st through September 9th. She clarified that
Chairman Springle has signature authority if any items need to be signed during that time.
Mr. Haney announced Harnett County Parks and Recreation had been awarded the LGFCU 2018
Excellence in Innovation Award and $1 ,000 for development and implementation of the Boone
Trail Community Center and Library. He said NCACC will schedule a check presentation
during a future board meeting. Mr. Haney also noted that during the NCACC Annual Awards
Luncheon that Commissioners McKoy and Penny were presented their Local Elected Leaders
Academy Practitioners Certifications.
Staff reported that more asbestos has been found at Shawtown which is further delaying the
project. It was noted that Jimmy Riddle, Harnett County Emergency Services, will make his
safety report for all school buildings in the middle of September. Staff believes they will know
soon if anything has been repaired or modified at Erwin School ; Benhaven is still not ready.
Regarding the SROs town agreements, Mr. Haney said the towns are interested in how they will
be reimbursed. Mrs. Honeycutt stated the invoices will be routed through two SRO sergeants
and the County will get credit for current expense; approximately $50 a child increase.
Mrs. Stewart updated the Board on the recent flooding at the CCCC Health Sciences Building.
Discussions continued. She said CCCC staff and County staff worked well together and our
Facilities staff really did a great job. She responded that the County leases the building from Red
Rock but the County is responsible for the building.
There was no need for closed session.
Commissioner Elmore moved to adjourn the meeting at 11 :23 am. Vice Chairman Penny
seconded the motion, which passed 4 -0.
Commissioners were scheduled to tour the Harnett County's Animal Shelter/Animal Control
immediately following the meeting,

Claire Jones, Elections Director, provided an update on the Hamett County Board of Elections.
Board of Election members Steve Blackbum and Tony.Spears were also in attendance. Mrs.
Jones reviewed recent session laws affecting how "One Stop" voting must be conducted noting
these changes will result in an increased cost in poll worker pay. She said the Board of Elections
tries to balance accommodating voters while remaining financially responsible. Mrs. Jones
estimates needing an additional $53,000 to accomplish the Board of Election's approved plan.
Staff noted they will come back to the commissioners in November requesting approval of a
budget amendment for the additional monies needed . Board of Elections members and staff
responded to questions and comments and discussed challenges.
General Services Director Barry Blevins and Steve Bright with Talbert and Bright were present
to discuss the Hamett Regional Jetport and Airport Committee. Mr. Blevins noted he is still
working with our Legal Department on the committee's revised bylaws. Commissioners talked
about alternatives to the Airport Committee including the Economic Development Council or
developing an Airport Authority. Mr. Blevins stressed that airport safety and technology must
remain a priority. The Board expressed an interest in being more involved in the governing of
the jetport that they fund, having more communication with the Airport Committee, and sharing
efforts towards the County's vision for the jetport. Mr. Bright addressed the Board. Discussions
continued. Staff suggested that the Airport Committee and Economic Development Council
work together to address the Board's concerns. Commissioner Elmore said he did not think
disbanding the Airport Committee was the answer but believes we should try to keep the
mechanism we have in place and revamp the membership if needed. Mr. Snow said the Board
could revise the Airport Committee's bylaws to reflect their wishes and require reporting. It was
a consensus of the Board to consider revised Airport Committee Bylaws and look at
membership.
Commissioners asked to discuss panhandling in Hamett County. Senior Staff Attorney Monica
Jackson said panhandling ordinances are by in large unconstitutional so says the United States
Supreme Court therefore staff does not recommend pursuing this. She said it would be
extraordinarily difficult to draft a panhandling ordinance that "passes constitutional mustard"
given First Amendment implications as panhandling is seen as a form of freedom of speech.
Discussions continued. Staff said there are other ways to deal with these individuals; current
laws on the books that can be used to address the panhandlers and their behaviors. Harnett
County Sheriff Officers Robert Wilson and Jeff Armstrong were present and addressed
commissioners.
Mrs. Stewart reviewed the following:

Mrs. Stewart provided an update on Erwin Elementary School noting the structural engineer is
on site and should provide a report soon regarding the structural integrity of the facility however
a standard inspection showed they are not maintaining their buildings. Staff understands that the
Board of Education has called in an industrial hygienist research air quality and water issues at
the school.
Mrs. Stewart reported that Economic Development had been contacted by Elite Team Rescue
wanting to purchase the old Benhaven School site. It was the consensus of the Board to proceed
with the County's original plan for this site. Mrs. Stewart said the Child Advocacy Center is
currently looking for space to rent in Lillington to house their program however long-term they
would like to be housed in county-owned space. Last, she provided an update on the old
Shawtown school site saying the demolition had been delayed due to rain but January 2019 is the
completion goal.
Commissioner McKoy moved that the board go into closed session for the following purposes :
1) Consultation with the County's legal staff in order to preserve the attorney-client
privilege concerning the handling of certain claims and litigation including the following
case: Workers Compensation Claim of Wanda Carolyn Tart IC File No. 17-791887; and
2) To discuss certain personnel matters; and
3) To instruct the County staff regarding a possible contract for the acquisition of real

Harnett County Human Resources Director Heather Pollard talked to the Board about
reclassifying seven (7) Department of Social Services positions from DSS Processing Assistants
to Income Maintenance Technicians. She noted State OSHR approved this request effective July
1, 2018. Mrs. Pollard discussed the benefits of these positions assuming additional
responsibilities . Mrs. Stewart said she believes DSS can absorb the additional cost in their
current budget. The 5% increase totals over $9,300 with 50% being reimbursed by the State.
Commissioners questioned who would monitor the individuals given the current lack of
supervisory integrity within DSS. Mrs. Stewart responded she is not aware of any problems
within this unit. It was the consensus of the Board to consider approval of the reclassifications
during their upcoming regular meeting.
Emergency Services Director Jimmy Riddle presented Spout Springs Emergency Service's
request for approval to purchase a LEGACY 13 Vertecon I3CFM 6KPSI 10 HP SCBA air
compressor from Safe Air Systems for $21,767.69 to replace their 1998 SCBA air compressor
that is no longer operational. The funds will be taken from their current 2018/2019 budget. It
was the consensus of the Board to consider approval of this request during their upcoming
regular meeting.
Staff sought direction regarding vacancies on the Harnett County District H Tourism Authority,
noting funds are being collected and should be turned over to the Authority soon. Discussions
continued.
Mrs. Stewart reviewed the proposed August 6, 2018 regular meeting agenda, invitations and
upcoming meetings. Chairman Springle urged commissioners to attend the upcoming Ag Study
Presentation.
Mrs . ,Stewart announced demolition has started at Anderson Creek and should start at Shawtown
in a few weeks. She also announced the River Park construction had begun.
Mrs. Stewart informed the group that the County had been contacted by an attorney with Parker
Poe asking that the Board of Commissioners consider holding a public hearing and local
approval for the nonprofit taking over the Senter's Care Home in Fuquay-Varina to finance the
acquisition and improvements with tax-exempt bonds issued through the Public Finance
Authority out of Wisconsin. Senior Staff Attorney Monica Jackson recommended holding off
until staff could research the request. It was the consensus of Board to table consideration until

based on the current funding formulas.

HARNETT COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Minutes of Work Session
May 29, 2018
The Hamett County Board of Commissioners met in work session o n Tuesday, May 29, 2018 , in
the Commissioners Meeting Room, County Administration Building, 420 McKinney Parkway,
Lillington, North Carolina.
Members present:
Staff present:
Gordon Springle, Chairman
Howard Penny, Vice Chairman
Barbara McKoy, Commis sioner
Joe Miller, Commissioner
Abe E lmore, Commissioner
Paula Stewart, County Manager
Dwight Snow, County Attorney
Kimberly Honeycutt, Finance Officer
Margaret Regina Wheeler, Clerk
Chairman Springle called the meeting to order at 9:00 am and led the Pledge of Allegiance and
invocati on.
Mr. Stewart presented the following Budget Message and proposed 2018/2019 budget to the
Board:
The proposed Harnett County budget for 201.8-201.9 is hereby submitted for your review and
consideration. A few highlights of the proposed budget include:
• The ad valorem tax rate will remain the same at 75 cents per $100 property valuation.
• No appropriation of fund balance is proposed. The fund balance for FY 201.9 should remain
above the 1.5% minimum set forth in the Harnett County Fiscal Policy Guidelines.
• The overall budget decreased by around 1.0% from FY 2018, primarily due to lower than
expected sales tax revenues and lower than expected intergovernmental revenues.
• The proposed budget seeks to address a number of the priorities established by the Board
in the areas of Education, Public Safety, employee training, customer service, capital
maintenance and cultural/recreational efforts, while doing so in a fiscally accountable
manner.
• The largest expenditures by percentage are Education at 25%, Public Safety at 23% and
Health & Human Services at 1.9%.
The public's demand for County services has increased and will likely continue to increase due to
the tremendous growth Harnett County is currently experiencing. The County experienced the sixth
largest increase in population of any micropo/itan area in the United States from 2016 to 201.7 and
is now the 1.0th most populous micropolitan area in the nation. The resulting increase in budget
requests from most County departments and other agencies has made balancing the budget in a
fiscally responsible manner a difficult process. I would like to thank our department heads for their

081720 HC BOC Page 54
efforts on the budget and our management team -Finance Officer Kimberly Honeycutt, Deputy
Finance Officer Allen Coats and Interim Assistant County Manager Brian Haney-for their crucial
contributions during the budget process.
I would like to highlight a few accomplishments during FY 2018.
• Increased capital outlay funding for Harnett County Schools by more than $1M.
• Renovated 420 McKinney Parkway as the new County Administration Building and
relocated staff; installed much needed departmental storage areas in warehouse.
• Relocated Animal Control staff from the Harnett County Animal Shelter, allowing for the
expansion of the existing shelter, and hired Animal Shelter Manager/Adoption
Coordinator.
• Began renovating a portion of the former Shawtown School.
• Obtained bids on demolition costs for several County-owned buildings that are no longer
habitable.
• Completed the Master Plan for the Harnett County Library System.
• Launched and maintained the Keep Harnett Beautiful campaign.
• Began the design phase for a new government complex facility to include Veterans
Services, the Harnett County Public Library, Parks and Recreation, Division on Aging and
County Administration. Began the design phase for an addition to the existing Department
of Social Services building as well as a lobby renovation.
The following sections include highlights of the proposed budget as they relate to revenues and
expenditures.

Ad Valorem Taxes -The proposed budget has been developed based on a total assessed real
property value of $8;337;965;227 and we project collections of $62;890;052 for the coming fiscal
year.
Sales Tax -We project the Countys sales tax revenue to decrease from current year projections
based on the rate we are currently receiving them. Total projected sales tax revenues are
$15;904;175.
Intergovernmental Revenue -We expect these revenues to decline to $15;558;242; primarily based
on payments being made directly by the State for programs in the Department of Social Services.
Fee Increases -Emergency Services; Health and Parks & Recreation have suggested minor fee
increases.

Personnel -Salaries and wages are up $1.4M over the prior year due to implementation of the
Performance Pay Plan; the continuation of 3/5 Pay Plan payments; increases in overtime and part-
time salaries; OPEB; and a 3% increase in the cost of health insurance for employees. This expense is
expected to decrease over the next several years as the 3/5 Pay Plan and longevity payouts are
phased out. Of the forty-eight new positions requested; I propose funding seven of them -two in
Human Services, one in Parks and Recreation, one in Facilities Maintenance and three in Public
Safety.
May 29, 2018 Work Session Minutes
Harnett County Board of Commissioners
Page 3 of 6
081720 HC BOC Page 56
• Performance Pay Plan -I propose maintaining the annual increase amount of 1.33%
this year with the goal of reaching 1.68% in future budgets.
• 401k Contribution -I propose the County provide a 2% contribution to all eligible
employees with no employee contribution required.
• OPEB -I recommend approving a resolution to establish an Irrevocable Trust
Agreement with the State Treasurer's Office to set aside $10 per month per employee
to fund OPEB (other post-employment benefits), with an estimated contribution of
$107,076 annually.
Capital Improvement Plan -This will be the third year since the County established a Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP). The CIP has allowed us to purchase items annually within a set amount
instead of pushing necessary expenditures out into future budgets. The proposed budget sets aside
$2,480,710 for capital expenditures.
Board of Education -The Harnett County Board of Education requested Just over $3.5 million in
funding for capital outlay items. Using the most current proposed capital funding formula
(percentage of prior year's lottery funds), I recommend allocating 70% of the previous year's
revenue or $1,100,107.
The Board of Education has also requested new school construction totaling $66,588,032. Our
financial advisors have suggested that we will need to increase the County's ad valorem tax rate in
the near future in order to address these needs. It would be prudent to wait on the results of the
statewide school bond issue since its passage would lessen the local burden for the new debt.
Article 46 sales tax (1/4 cent sales tax) only covers a portion of the current debt for the new
Benhaven Elementary School.
The Board of Education requested roughly $4.SM in additional current expense from the FY 2018
funding amount. This year's allocation for current expense is recommended to be $22,931,247. The
current expense allocation includes funding to provide increased supplements to teachers in lieu of
the bonuses which the Board of Commissioners provided in the two previous fiscal years.
I recommend considering a separate allocation at a later time for the requested security measures
in capital outlay and current expense based on the findings of the House Select Committee on
School Safety, chaired by Rep. David R. Lewis and Rep. John A. Torbett. That said, priority security
measures may be undertaken using a portion of the proposed capital and current expense
allocations.
Central Carolina Community College -Funding for CCCC's current expense is proposed to increase to
$1,140,207, or a 5.5% increase from FY 2018, and capital outlay is proposed to be $200,000, up from
$30,000 in FY 2018. Projects include resurfacing the parking lots on the Harnett Main Campus,
purchasing a maintenance vehicle, upgrading lighting and upgrading doors. I recommend
consideration of funding the Harnett Promise initiative during the FY 2020 budget process.
PUBLIC UTILITIES
• A budget of $33,135,753 is proposed for FY 2019 compared to $34,809,109 in the current
year, which represents a decrease of approximately 5%. No appropriation of fund balance
is recommended.
May 29, 2018 Work Session Minutes
Hamett County Board of Commissioners
Page 4 of 6
081720 HC BOC Page 57
• No new positions are requested.
• No rate increases are Included for residential, bulk water, or bulk sewer.
• A few fee increases are proposed, mainly for the System Development Fees, which were
presented to the Board of Commissioners on April 10, 2018, and were posted on the
Harnett County website for 45 days.
o Water SDF going from $1,200 to $2,000 (Max of $7,774 could be charged)
o Sewer SDF going from $1,800 to $2,500 (Max of $4,392 could be charged)
o A public hearing will be held on these proposed fee changes along with the public
hearing on the proposed budget.
• Two waterline projects are scheduled for FY 2019 -one along N. C. 87 to Western Harnett
Innovation Park for the new Benhaven Elementary School and one in Bunnlevel for
hydraulic purposes. The wastewater plant in Lillington (North Harnett WWTP) is also
scheduled to be upgraded. The total cost of these three projects amounts to $7M.
SOLID WASTE
• A proposed increase is included for the MSW (municipal solid waste) fees to $45/ton, up
from $40/ton. This is based primarily on annual CPI increases in hauling contracts.
• Landfill tipping fees for all other non-household/recycling items are proposed to increase
to $45/ton, up from $40/ton.
• Included are plans for a new permanent household hazardous waste facility to be built this
year with grant funds as well as a new landfill expansion at Dunn Erwin.
• Funds for ongoing convenience center improvements are also included along with a few
capital items. The total solid waste budget increased slightly by 196, to $5,811,400.
FIRE TAX DISTRICTS
• Harnett County Emergency Services recommends approval of the Summerville/Bunnlevel
fire tax levy to increase from 8 cents to 10 cents per $100 valuation. The department is
saving for a new fire truck in FY 2023 and needs to purchase new air packs this year.
• No other fire tax increases were requested.
RESCUE DISTRICTS
• The proposed budget includes a 396 increase across the board for rescue districts. Last year
saw the first increase since FY 2012.
• We realize the cost of doing business is increasing, so we plan to establish a funding
formula for FY 2020 based on the EMS Medicaid cost settlement program.
• Squads requesting funding increases include Benhaven, Boone Trail, Coats Grove, Dunn
and Erwin. Anderson Creek and Buies Creek did not request increases. The total request
was $401,113 and the amount included is $103,877 (without any Medicaid cost settlement
disbursements}.
This FY 2019 recommended budget is an investment in Harnett County's future. It shows fiscal
restraint in many areas, but will also allow the County to better serve our citizens. Our goal was to
prepare a budget that supports the priorities you have established, and that will strengthen the
county's financial position to address future needs and priorities.

Mrs. Honeycutt said originally they had talked about setting up a funding formula to fund
capital needs for Harnett County Schools however staff now proposes funding the school capital
needs as a percentage of the prior year's lottery funds. Staff recommended funding the school
capital needs at 70% of the prior year's lottery funds which would average about $300,000
quarterly. It was the consensus of the Board to fund school capital needs at 65% of the prior
year's lottery funds. Commissioners also asked that Harnett County Schools includes the capital
that they have spent as part of their monthly financial report to the Board.
Proposed 2018/2019 budget discussions continued. Staff provided an updated budget summary
and responded to questions. Mrs. Stewart asked the Board if staff could start advertising for
badly needed new positions but hold funding until July 1. Staff briefly reviewed the proposed
fee schedule and will provide copies to commissioners. Staff asked the Board to consider
approving an increase in the threshold for Capital Outlay to $20,000 from $10,000 within the
forthcoming Budget Ordinance.
Mrs. Stewart reviewed the draft June 4, 2018 regular meeting agenda, invitations and
upcoming meetings. She noted staff recently attended the Freedom Balloon Fest meeting in
Fuquay-Varina that went very well. Mrs. Stewart said they talked about bringing it in to Harnett
County the following year; maybe landing some of the balloons in Harnett County. She also said
she was asked a lot of questions about the Northwest Harnett area. Last, staff shared proposed
signage for the Western Harnett Innovation Park.
Mrs. Stewart and Capital Projects Manager Steve Ward updated the Board on the air-
conditioning outage at the Department of Social Services and Health Buildings. She noted some
staff has been relocated but all services were being provided.
Chairman Springle requested a meeting with two commissioners, two Board of Education
members and staff from the Sheriff Office and Emergency Services to look at each school
individually and talk about what needs to be done. Commissioners said they would also need to
talk about the School Resource Officers.
There was no need for a closed session.
Commissioner Elmore moved to adjourn the meeting at 10:00 am. Commissioner McKoy
seconded the motion that passed unanimously.

Mr. Locklear clarified that this is three different owners going together with three different
properties totaling 2.17 acres located specifically in the Barbecue Township. Mr. Locklear noted
on May 7 , 2018, the Hamett County Planning Board voted unanimously (5-0) to recommend
approval based on existing residential uses and the County's Land Use Plan. He said no one
attended the meeting in opposition.
The sites are currently occupied by single family residential structures. Surrounding land uses
consist of high density residential developments, individual single family residences and various
commercial and professional business establishments. Services available include public (Hamett
County) water and sewer.
Mr. Locklear stated staff's 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: The requested zoning change to Commercial will
not have a negative impact on the surrounding properties or the community as it is similar
in nature to existing zoning districts and development patterns 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, as well as within the Compatibility
Development Target area. These two designations highlight growing areas of the County
that consist of planned residential areas mixed with a variety of nonresidential uses.
The proposal does ENHANCE or maintain the public health, safety and general welfare.
REASONING: The requested zoning to Commercial would maintain or enhance the
public health, safety and general welfare due to the area's existing commercial uses as
well as the neighboring commercially zoned parcels.
The request is for a SMALL SCALE REZONING and should be evaluated for
reasonableness. REASONING: These parcels are immediately adjacent to Commercial
zoned property and therefore do not need to be evaluated for a Small Scale Rezoning.
Suggested Statement-of-Consistency: Staff concludes that, as detailed within the evaluation, the
requested rezoning to Commercial is compatible with Harnett County regulatory documents and
would not have and unreasonable impact on the surrounding community because of the existing
commercial zoned properties within the area, and thus the compatibility with the Land Use Plan.
Therefore, it is recommended that this rezoning request be approved.
Vice Chairman Penny called to order a public hearing on the matter and opened the meeting for
comments from the public.
Christopher Durfee of 532 Hillmon Grove Road in Cameron spoke in favor of the
rezoning, saying he has been hired by the applicants to sell the property.
Mike Cagle of 44 Linda Lane in Cameron said he wasn't here to oppose the rezoning but
wanted to make sure that the property owners understood that their driveways are no
good for commercial. Mr. Cagle said the State told him that the existing driveways
disappear as soon as you change the zoning.
Mark Locklear responded that residential driveways don 't go away with rezoning however if you
change the use of the property NCDOT will evaluate. He said landowners could be required to

install a very expensive driveway. Mr . Durfee responded that the applicants were aware of this
potential . Mr. Locklear reminded the group that the public hearing was about the rezoning and
the driveway permit has no bearing on the rezoning.
Seeing no one else move, Vice Chairman Penny closed the public hearing. Commissioner
Elmore moved to approve the requested rezoning to Commercial as it is compatible with Hamett
County regulatory documents and would not have and unreasonable impact on the surrounding
community based of the existing commercial zoned properties in the area as well as compliance
with the County's Land Use Plan. Commissioner Miller seconded the motion, which passed
4 -0.
Hamett County General Service 's Director Barry Blevins petitioned the board for a public
hearing to obtain citizen input into the identification of community needs and desired
Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) activities. The CDBG Program is
administered by the NC Department of Commerce and the NC Department of Environment and
Natural Resources. The State ofNC's CDBG Program permits grant funds to be used toward
infrastructure projects that address health/safety needs (public water and sewer projects);
clearance and remediation activities, relocation, public facilities (senior center, housing for
homeless persons, housing or shelters for victims of domestic violence, transitional housing
facility , community/neighborhood/recreation facility , other), and public infrastructure or support
economic development (public infrastructure, building demolition, and vacant building
renovation) projects. Mr. Skip Greene with Skip Green and Associates, Inc. addressed the
Board. Mr. Greene provided details, reviewed requirements and responded to questions from
commissioners . Discussions continued.
Vice Chairman Penny called to order a public hearing on the matter and opened the meeting for
comments from the public. Seeing no one move, Vice Chairman Penny closed the public
hearing. Mr. Blevins said this public hearing starts the process but there is a lot of work that
must be done before applying.
Mr. Blevins petitioned the Board for a public hearing to hear the views of the residents of Hamett
County on the proposed revision of the Animal Control Ordinance. Mr. Blevins said staff had a lot
of problems trying to enforce the current ordinance. He noted that a diverse group of people
were included in drafting the proposed revision to the Animal Control Ordinance. Mr. Blevins
highlighted some of the proposed changes, expanding on the current ordinance, including defining
responsibilities of staff, listing offenses as well as containing better definitions and processes.
Vice Chairman Penny called to order a public hearing on the matter and opened the meeting for
comments from the public.
Susan Shaddock of 114 South Cary Street in Coats said she believes the proposed
ordinance is inadequate in terms of tethering and distributed a handout.
Roni Kemp, 244 Chesley Lane in Lillington, commended the committee on efforts to
bolster definitions but also shared concerns regarding tethering.
Seeing no one else move, Vice Chairman Penny closed the public hearing.

Brian Haney, Assistant to the County Manager, and Angie Stewart with Hamett County
Economic Development presented proposed bylaws for the Harnett County District H Tourism
Development Authority. Mr. Haney noted that the Board would also need to appoint members to
the Authority. Discussions continued. The Board will consider approval of the proposed bylaws
during their upcoming regular meeting.
Hamett County Emergency Services Director Jimmy Riddle discussed the need to change the
award of vendor for the Emergency Services Study. The Board will consider award of vendor to
Kramer & Associates Group for $84,700 to perform the Hamett County Emergency Services
Study Proposal during their upcoming regular meeting. Mr. Riddle noted next week is
Emergency Medical Services Week. He also announced Hamett County EMS was recently
awarded the Mission Lifeline Gold Plus Award for the second year in a row.
Development Services Director Mark Locklear and Planning Services Manager Jay Sikes briefly
reviewed the proposed Zoning Change: Case# RZ-18-106, From RA-30 to Commercial; NC
Hwy 24/87; Barbecue Township.
Mr. Locklear and Mr. Sikes talked about potentially implementing a Ray Road Corridor Overlay
similar to the Hwy 87 Overlay. They said the overlay would include architectural standards for
commercial buildings as well as encourage interconnectivity to reduce driveways leading to
better traffic management. As a result of the 2016 Land Use Plan, a second Corridor Overlay is
being considered for Hwy 421 between Lillington and Erwin, which staff has termed as the
"Ed/Med" Corridor, taking into account aspects such as Central Hamett Hospital, Brightwater
Park and Campbell University. Staff discussed the following:
Proposed highway corridor overlay-nonresidential Corridor overlays: (Hwy 87 =
2011)
Ray Road: Hwy 210 at Cumberland County line to Nursery Road
Total properties = 262
Non-residentially zoned properties = 60
Hwy 421: Primarily from Lillington to Erwin (Ed./Med. Corridor)
Total properties = 480
Within unincorporated jurisdiction= 409
Non-residentially zoned properties= 68
Lillington's jurisdiction= 71
Mr. Locklear and Mr. Sikes also said due to the residential activity occurring within the North
and & Northwest portions of the County, the UDO's existing subdivision regulations may need
some attention specifically within the compatibility chart, and potentially in other areas as well
based on strategies formulated from the NW Area Land Use Plan. Staff discussed the following:
RA-40 development regulations
Multi-family: 9 units/ acres vs 12 units/acre
• Future residential Development
19 potential new residential developments
o 3,212 potential lots
o 9,218 new residents C2.87 people per household)

Mr. Locklear said we can increase our standards locally and need to require sidewalks, curb and
gutter, etc. Mr. Locklear said we need to have a reasonable amount of regulation in place to
ensure quality development. Commissioners asked staff to look at raising permitting fees.
Discussions continued including the need for commercial land. Staff noted proposed UDO
revisions forthcoming for consideration.
Mrs. Honeycutt requested approval of a new position of Internal Auditor in the Finance Office.
She proposed the new position at a Grade 25 with a starting salary around $50,000 . Mrs.
Honeycutt said this position would work in conjunction with Human Resources and the County
Manager's Office and shared a draft job description stating "Perform operational and financial
risk based audits or reviews appropriations, and organizations classified as sub-recipients. The
work will include reviews and assessments of internal controls, test of compliance with federal
and state rules and regulations, test of adherence to County policies and procedures, evaluation
of business processes and investigations of alleged improper transactions." Commissioners will
consider approval of the new position request during their upcoming regular meeting.
Mrs. Honeycutt distributed and reviewed a Fiscal Policy Guidelines Reserve Fund Balance -Six
Month Calculation, noting the County is basically $1.4 million in excess of the current policy.
Mrs. Stewart provided an update on the old Shawtown School facility. She said the total cost to
renovate the facility is $628,000 with a six to eight month rehabilitation timeline. She also
discussed efforts to help relocate the ReEntry Program currently housed in the Noble House.
Mrs. Stewart said there is some question about the future of the Mid-Carolina Councils of
Government that Harnett County is currently a member. She said she thinks we may have more
in common with the Triangle J COG and distributed a handout. The UNC School of
Government recently released COG inventory comparing services offered by each. Mrs. Stewart
mentioned concerns of some County departments as they like the services they get through Mid-
Carolina COG. Discussions continued.
Mrs. Stewart discussed the draft budget message and proposed 2018-2019 budget. Staff
distributed a revised proposed 2018/2019 budget summary showing millions out of balance
however they noted sales tax was included flat and as they continue to monitor revenues they
believe revenues will go up and the budget will balance. Staff said the proposed budget includes
the current level of funding and agreed capital funding for Hamett County Schools.
Mrs. Stewart said 48 positions were requested but she is conservatively only looking at funding
four positions and the D.A. position. She noted the Board could revisit some of the position
requests in January depending on revenues. Mrs. Stewart said she is also proposing a 2% 401K
contribution across the board whether an employee contributes or not.

the Article 39 funding formula, staff recommended funding $896,000 of the $3.5 million
requested. It was also noted that the Governor's budget includes security for schools.
Mrs. Honeycutt asked if the Board would consider raising the County 's capital outlay amount to
$20,000 which they could potentially revise in the fiscal policy during the budget approval
process .
Chairman Springle shared updates from the recent NCACC General Government and Finance
Committee meeting. The group talked about the need to prepare for the 2021 reevaluation and

Commissioner McKoy moved that the Board come out of closed session. Vice Chairman Penny

Mr. Coats presented the following information:
1) Education Capital Funding, Funding Formula Proposals
Proposed Solution: Establish a funding formula based upon a percentage of the prior
fiscal years net Article 39 (General Fund) sales tax collections. By using the net sales tax ,
the funding will remain more consistent than in prior years and should enable the schools
to better plan for these items. The FY 2018-2019 capital appropriation to the schools
would be $896 ,881 if 20% allocation is used.
Note: The Sales Tax Expansion ($3.8 million) is not proposed for use in the capital
funding. The portion of these funds that represent education will be used toward the
current expense funding of the $1,500 teacher supplement. For FY 2018, this amount was
projected at $2,199,000.
2) Current Expense Funding, History Funding History
Proposed solution: For budget year 2019, include all "current expense" items listed for
the 2018 adjusted budget in one current expense account that will be paid each month on a
1/12 basis.
For teacher supplements, it has been the desire of the Harnett County Board of
Commissioners to remain abreast of the number and type of school staffing personnel. To
continue tracking the school personnel count, the budget ordinance will be modified. The
Public School Personnel Summary count will remain but is proposed to read Teacher's
Supplement: The currant expense appropriation includes an approximated $1,500

supplement for classroom teachers employed for at least one year as of September 1st of
the current fiscal year, based upon the latest known Public School Personnel Summary as
provided by the NC Department of Public Instruction. Article 44 Restricted Sales Tax
Expansion Funds will be used to offset this appropriation.
Staff clarified that capital funding does not impact low-wealth calculation. Discussions
continued . Dr. Fleming said consistency in capital funding would be good but shared his
concerns about their ability to come back and ask for additional funds for emergency repairs.
The expectation is that the Board of Education will prioritize their needs accordingly once they
receive their capital appropriation. Superintendent Fleming said he would provide a yearly
summary of these expenses.
Mr. Coats briefly reviewed the Debt Affordability Analysis material , provided by the County's
financial advisors Davenport & Company, detailing Hamett County's debt capacity.
Mrs. Stewart asked if the boards were interested in approving a joint resolution supporting The
Public School Building Bond Act (State School Construction Bonds -HB866/SB542) to place a
$1 .9 billion school construction bond on the ballot in November 2018. Staff disturbed a NCACC
information flyer and said Hamett County would get a little over $50 Million, with a matching
grant dollar for dollar. It was the consensus of the Hamett County Board of Commissioners and
the Hamett County Board of Education to consider approval of a joint resolution supporting
legislation to place the school construction bond on the ballot.
Superintendent Fleming presented Hamett County School's 2018-19 priorities for new
construction, renovations and maintenance. He said they need to start looking at some type of
new bus facility for their transportation staff, due to growth, and are open to discussing a joint
venture. Superintendent Fleming also noted additional current expense requests are forthcoming.
Mr. Morris said the Board of Education has not yet discussed giving the old Benhaven
Elementary school property to County. He said they don't have any plans for it unless maybe
Early College. Superintendent Fleming talked about options for Early College. Mrs. Stewart
said the County is interested in up-fitting Benhaven with current funds before it is transferred.
Commissioner McKay asked if the Board of Education has discussed or addressed redistricting.
She said she doesn 't understand why seats aren 't being filled and wondered about the safety of
having so many students in huts. Board of Education members responded and discussions
continued. Mrs. Bennett said she wants ORAD to do a county-wide study to identify needs.
Chairman Springle asked that the Board of Education to look at schools that they can continue to
upgrade and make more efficient. Mr. Matthews responded that they have had Duke Energy
walk through some facilities to identify cost-savings options. Commissioners stressed the need
to do what can be done with what we have and only build when absolutely necessary.

hooking several schools up to sewer. Vice Chairman Penny asked, on behalf of Commissioner

Mr. Stone and Mrs. Stewart update the Board on the current interview process for the new
Director of Hamett County Cooper Extension.
Harnett County Parks and Recreation Director Carl Davis lead the Parks and Recreation Fee
discussion. Mr. Davis gave a quick overview of the process to establish a service district stating
a public hearing is required before the adoption of the tax. He said a .05 cent county-wide parks
and recreation tax would raise about $2.8 million a year. Mr. Davis said this does not include
municipalities even though towns could opt to be included. He also said the amount could
change annually. Mr. Davis said this money would allow the County to build parks in all areas
of the county hopefully allowing everyone quick access to a park. Commissioners talked about
the need to do the most for citizens outside of incorporated areas the fairest way. Discussions
continued. It was suggested that staff develop a solid plan, using different amounts, to present to
commissioners for consideration .
Mr. Davis also noted that staff, in the upcoming budget, is looking at paying every town the
same amount as Western Hamett which is approximately $27 per kid. He also said he is thinking

Mr. Penny reminded the group that the elderly do get an exemption on property taxes and talked
about the need to educate citizens about this exemption.
Mrs. Stewart proposed for discussion the dissolution or restructuring of the Employee Health
Benefits Committee. Mrs. Stewart and Mrs. Pollard said they did not believe the advisory
committee members should be involved in the decision making related to employee benefits.
Commissioner McKoy said she thinks the Employee Health Committee has been a great resource
for Human Resources. She also believes it has helped employees understand more about
healthcare and rising costs. Commissioner McKoy believes the committee could still be helpful
but the members need to be switched around. It was the consensus of the Board to dissolve the
current Employee Health Committee and staff will come back with recommendations on how to
restructure an internally appointed employee committee.

occupancy tax process thus far. Commissioners previously adopted a Resolution Levying a Six
Percent (6%) Room Occupancy Tax within Harnett County District H. Mr. Haney said the
County would collect an estimated $63 ,000 in occupancy tax in the first year from the two
eligible entities. He shared a NC map showing 81 counties in NC that currently levy the tax in
some version. Staff mentioned that they are currently researching how to force air B&B' s in
county to collect the tax. Mr. Haney said the County is also authorized to set-up a Tourism
Authority, who would decide how to spend these funds, and reviewed membership requirements.
Discussions continued.
Jon Hockaday, General Manager of Anderson Creek Club, and Kevin Mishra, owner of
Lillington's Microtel Inn & Suites, represent the only two entities in the county currently
affected by the occupancy tax. Mr. Hockaday and Mr. Mishra addressed the Board saying they
do not see the benefit in this tax, there is no incentive for them in this and they believe the
County should wait until there are more entities to impose such a tax. The Board discussed
possibly lowing the percentage of collection. Ken Adel burg, also representing the Ande rson
Creek Club, responded they are against adding an additional percentage of any amount. It was
the consensus of the Board to resend the previously approved Resolution Levying a Six Percent
(6%) Room Occupancy Tax within Hamett County District Hin June 2018, which is the end of
the fiscal year in which the resolution was adopted, and to refund any taxes collected back to the
two businesses.
Dot Ehlers and Natalie Mabon talked about ReE ntry 's space needs in Hamett County. ReEntry
is a nonprofit that the County has provide free office space to since 1999. The Town of
Lillington, who now owns the Noble House in Lillington, has told ReEntry that they must
relocate. ReEntry currently offers four programs including: Healthy Choices Program (JCPC

Diversion. Mrs. Ehlers and Mrs . Mabon briefly reviewed these programs, saying all have a

recommendation that counties go to a four-year revaluation cycle. The Board will need to

Staff responded to questions and discussions continued.
Hamett County Parks and Recreation Director Carl Davis talked about the Neills Creek Park
Expansion and presented for discussion a proposed Joint Use Agreement with the Harnett
County Board of Education. Mr. Davis clarified that the County leases the park property from
Hamett County Schools. He said within the 30 year lease agreement it states that the County
maintains the tennis courts, ball fields, pond and roadway which enables the public to use these
facilities. Mr. Davis said they would like to expand over to the middle school fields so they can
be open to the public as facilities are in high demand. He said this would be similar to what has
been done in other areas of the county where the County renovates existing facilities and then
manage and maintain those facilities so they are available to the public. Mr. Davis also proposed
relocating the tennis courts at Neills Creek Park in this year's budget. He said this expansion
would al so include a new entrance which Campbell University, who owns the adjourning land,
has agreed to an easement for driveway access.
Mr. Davis said they are looking at lighting additional field s in the future. He noted a current
quote of $273,000 to light the two middle school fields at Western Hamett with a 10 year
warranty. He said remote LED lights would cost approximately $350,000 but are higher quality
and would be a better choice in the long run. Mr. Davis said there are finance options
available on the lighting. The group will revisit the Parks and Recreation Master Plan and
discuss possible recreational fees/taxes during their upcoming planning retreat.

law, they are not able to transfer money from their general funds to cover current expense funds.
Commissioners voiced concerns that school buildings are not being maintained. Commissioners
said that they don't think that the School Board is being creative and asked how they can spend
money or build new schools before all seats are filled and they know exactly what is needed.
Superintendent Fleming responded that he believes there would be push back from the
community regarding redistricting.
Parks and Recreation Director Carl Davis presented for discussion a proposed contract between
Hamett County and the YMCA of Sandhills regarding the YMCA facility to be located in
western Hamett County. The YMCA will rent and renovate the Cagle Building located off Hwy
87 in western Hamett County that must be open for use by August 1, 2019. The funding
agreement states the County shall pay the YMCA $9,500 per month for 10 years; which he said
would be the only cost to the County however that funding would not start until 50% of the
renovations are complete. Mr. Davis noted the County would have input in the YMCA programs
and representation on the YMCA Board. He also said that the YMCA believes they will be able
to build their own building at the end of 10 years. Commissioners Elmore and McKoy voiced
concerns and discussions continued. Commissioners previously voted to proceed with this
project pending a final contract for consideration. Commissioners will discuss the proposed
agreement during their upcoming regular meeting.

who is authorized to move those fund. Discussions continued regarding funds requested by and
given to Hamett County Schools.

to help DSS catch up on their backlog, retained the additional staff after the backlog was
processed. Chairman Springle responded the additional staff is still needed due to the current
workload including on-going reevaluations. Commissioner Miller asked to be provided the
number of cases DSS has now, how many they had last year and three years ago. He said we
need to know how much space is really needed given we are getting ready to spend money to add
on to the DSS building.

NORTH C A ROL IN A
Department of Transportation
FEDERAL
Administration, Operating, Capital, Planning
This guidance for all subrecipients receiving capital , administration , and operating
PRINCIPLE assistance to support public transportation in rural areas (areas with populations of less
than 50,000).
To be eligible, transit providers must have a signed resolution from the County
Commissioners of each county served, designating them as the 5311 recipient in their
jurisdiction in order to be eligib le to apply for funds. Starting in FY 2018, these resolutions
ELIGIBLE are updated on a 5-year basis. The resolution is part of the grant application process .
SUBRECIPIENTS North Carolina's coordinated approach to service delivery allows a single applicant within
each designated service area.
General public transportation activities in rural North Carolina (areas outside urbanized area
boundaries) are the focus of this funding. The goal of Section 5311 program is to enhance
the overall mobility of people living in rural areas, therefore , projects may include
transportation to or from rural areas. Service must be open and promoted to the general
ELIGIBLE SERVICE
public, however, a rural transit provider may design its Section 5311 funded services to
maximize use by members of the general public who are transportation-disadvantaged .
and SERVICE AREA Transportation disadvantaged people include seniors, people with disabilities, and low-
income individuals . Providers receiving both 5311 and 5307 funds must have a method of
allocating costs between the two programs.
PTD suggests Subrecipients have sufficient funds to operate and maintain the NCDOT
FINANCIAL funded program for at least three months without incoming revenue from grants.
CAPACITY Subrecipients must have fiscal control and accounting procedures sufficient to permit the
and MANAGEMENT tracking and reporting of grant funds . Any funds borrowed from a parent organization or
governmental organization must be reported to NCDOT within 15 days .
Subrecipients that expend more than $500,000 in federal funds from all sources (including
AUDIT REPORTS federal funds provided through NCDOT) in a year must submit the annual single audit
and FINANCIAL required by 09 NCAC 03M and evidence of resolution of findings related to the trans it
STATEMENTS program to NC DOT . The value of a bus or van purchased must be considered when
determining whether a Subrecipient meets the threshold for a single audit.

first lien holder. When the project equipment has been replaced , NCDOT will release the
lien . Useful life standa rds are maintained in NCDOT's Trans it Asset Management (TAM)
Tier II Sponsore d Plan . This inventory is updated on an annual basis .
INSURANCE Subrecipients will maintain insurance a s defined in the procedures .
MAINTENANCE
Subrecipients will maintain project equipment at a h igh level of cleanlines s , safety, and
mechanical soundness. An 80 percent on-time performance standard for eQuipment and

wheelchair lifts has been set. All maintenance activities are entered into Trapeze EAM
and performance is monitored . FT A and state funded facilities require a w r itten
maintenance plan and annual submission of the maintenance performed .
PTD d iscourages incidental uses of real property unless it can generate additional
revenues for the transit system or, at a reasonable cost, enhances system ridership. Prior
INCIDENTAL USE written approval is required for incidental uses of real property which must be compatible
with the original purposes of the contract. Incidental uses, such as meal delivery, are
allowed if they do not interfere with the public transit service and cover the costs of the
uses. Nutrition programs must cover the operating costs attributable to meal deliverv.
NCDOT Public Transportation Division requires quarterly and year end reports. Program
PROGRAM status reports are also required with each claim submitted . Failure to submit reports on
REPORTING AND time will result in a reduction in the Rural Operating Assistance Program {ROAP}.
NCDOT Public Transportation Division maintains all procedures required for oversight.
These expectations, the State Management Plan, funding applications and Certifications
and Assurances must be followed to maintain good standing for futu re funding. Failure to
OVERSIGHT submit reports on time will result in a reduction in the Rural Operating Assistance
Program {ROAP}.

MEETING DATE: August 17, 2020
TO: HARNETT COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
SUBJECT: Amendment to Lease Agreement between Harnett County and Harnett
United Police Activities League for Shawtown Community Development Center
REQUESTED BY: County Administration
REQUEST:
Administration requests approval of an amendment to the Lease Agreement between Hamett
County and the Hamett United Police Activities League (PAL) to lease space at the
Shawtown Community Development Center for its operations and youth programs.
The Board of Commissioners entered into a Lease Agreement with Hamett United PAL on
August 19 , 2019, that stated the Board would consider whether PAL would have to pay the
average cost of utilities for the occupied space following the termination of the Initial Term
of the Lease on August 30, 2020.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Hamett United PAL was unable to hold the fundrai sers
which traditionally provide funding for the organiz ation. Therefore, this amendment will
allow Hamett United PAL to continue leasing space through August 30, 2021, at a co st of $1
per year, and states that the Board of Commissioners will decide prior to August 30, 2021 ,
whether PAL will have to pay the average cost of utilities for the occupied space beyond that
date.
