This grant is a zero county match, NCEM reimbursible grant. This grant is based on NCEMs FY 22 Target Funding Priorities for response and recovery operations. Our proposal includes two projects that will target two of NCEM's top priorities.The first project is the upgrade of our emergency Operations Centers aging audio visual equipment ($89,468.57), this project fits into NCEMs Priority 1 category.The second project is for the purchase of two rapid deployment multi use shelters ($163,134.64) this project fits into NCEMs Priority 2 category. We will be requesting a total of $275,000. to cover any cost increases on materials during the period of the grant.These two projects would enhance Harnett Couny Emergency Services response and recovery operations for the future. FINANCE OFFICER’S RECOMMENDATION: COUNTY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION: Item 6 HCBOC ws 030122 pg. 15 Harnett Emergency Management CBCG Project Proposal Harnett County Emergency Management is seeking funding from a zero-match, NCEM reimbursed Capacity Building Competitive Grant (CBCG) from North Carolina Emergency Management based off of FY2022 Target Funding Priorities. Harnett County Emergency Management plans to use this grant to (Priority 1) upgrade the Emergency Operations Center audio/visual system and (Priority 2) purchase two rapid-deployment multi-use shelters. The estimated non-taxed total for both projects is $275,000. Harnett County Emergency Management feels that these two proposed projects would align directly with five out of the six target priorities set forth in this grant by the State, enhance all five FEMA Mission Areas, and help accomplish several of the 32 Core Capabilities. An EOC A/V upgrade is sorely needed; the current analog system was installed in 2010 and no longer operates independently. It has since been temporarily piece-milled with digital components that replaced obsolete equipment. This temporary solution provides little accommodation due to the complexity of operation. A new digital system provides the EOC staff with the latest multimedia advancements, integrates our EOC break out rooms, and supports conferencing capabilities which enhances our ability to conduct hybrid or virtual EOC operations consistent with social distancing practices. The two rapid-deployment multi-use shelters are needed to provide emergency operational support structures, to enhance shelter support with temporary showering, and to enhance HAZMAT response by providing on-scene decontamination capabilities. These grant-funded project opportunities align with Harnett County’s mission of “effectively and efficiently delivering high quality County services” and its vision of “a unified, safe, healthy, and engaged community” set forth in the Harnett County 2032 Strategic Plan. Grant Specifications Overview: - The NCEM CBCG is eligible to County Emergency Management agencies established in accordance with G.S. 166A-19.15 located in counties with a population of 210,000 or fewer, based upon the 2019 Certified County Population Estimates from the State Demographer in the Office of State Budget and Management. - Agencies may submit only one application per year, however, up to three separate projects may be awarded in a single application. - It is a competitive grant with a single award cap of $400,000 per county. - Project dates must coincide with the period of performance, ending June 30, 2023. The grant will be awarded June 1, 2022. The application deadline is April 15, 2022. - There is no match requirement imposed on grant funds provided under the CBCG program. - NCEM will distribute awarded funds to sub-recipients by a reimbursement of expenditures in conjunction with the timely submission of corresponding Fiscal and Programmatic Reports. - The FY2022 Target Priorities for funding are: preparedness initiatives, increasing local mass care and human services capacity, improving incident management/coordination capacity, improving EOC capabilities to include technology initiatives for continuity of operations purposes, resiliency initiatives, and other items supported by a documented local or regional risk assessment/THIRA.

The property included five buildings – the main two-story classroom building, the original classroom building and cafeteria, the gymnasium and attached classrooms, media center, and Pre-K building. The cafeteria building was demolished to make room for additional parking and improved access to the campus. The gymnasium and attached classrooms have been identified by Harnett County Schools as the desired location of an early college in western Harnett County. The former media center has been identified as an ideal site for Parks & Recreation to establish a Community Center & Library, similar to what is currently operating at the former Boone Trail School. Staff also desire to renovate the two-story classroom building once funding is identified to provide additional County services and to allow for the use of the auditorium. That leaves the Pre-K building, which is located on the western end of the campus apart from the other three remaining buildings and adjacent to a separate driveway off of Benhaven School Road. Prior to receiving the property, the County engaged Ellington Design Group to perform a Code Evaluation Report for the former Benhaven School campus, which was completed in June 2019. The report provided cost estimates to renovate each building on the campus “based on the minimum renovation required to occupy the building and exterior improvements to make the building weather resistant.” The cost estimate to renovate the former Pre-K building was $364,260. Again, this estimate is from 2019, and would likely be considerably higher today. Staff have explored possible options for the Pre-K building, however have not identified a viable use for the building that would warrant the cost of renovating it. We believe County funds would be better used on the remaining buildings on the campus. Alternative options for the Pre-K building are to demolish the property, renovate and lease it, or donate or sell it. There would be a cost to demolish the building, though substantially less than the cost of renovation. Leasing the property would still require the County to fund renovation and find a suitable tenant. Selling the property would generate revenue that could be put towards other needs on the property. The County engaged the Timmons Group to design a new parking lot for the campus to allow for its reuse by the County to provide recreational and other County services, and by Harnett County Schools to operate an Early College on the site. As part of their scope, the Timmons Group has been tasked with recombining the property into two parcels – one that includes just the Pre-K building, and another that includes the rest of the campus. To date, the County has received two inquiries regarding the possibility of purchasing the Pre-K building, though no formal offers have been received. One inquiry was from a preschool. The Board was also approached by the nonprofit Veteran Harbor in July 2021, which requested the County donate the property to the organization to allow them to renovate the space to provide temporary housing for homeless veterans. Given that the Pre-K building would be located on the same campus as an early Item 9 HCBOC ws 030122 pg. 32 college, recreation and Library programs, certain uses may not be compatible with County and school operations. The property is currently zoned RA-20R, meaning the following uses would be permitted without approval from the Board: residential structures, churches, family care facilities, schools, parks, farms, nurseries, fire/police/EMS facilities, and community centers. There is also a valid Special Use Permit for a daycare facility at this site. Should the Board desire to sell or donate the property, certain restrictions may be placed on the property in order to protect the County’s interest. Additionally, whoever acquires the Pre-K building will be required to install a separate septic tank for the property. The Harnett County Tax Department has also been engaged to obtain the fair market value of the Pre-K building property. An initial estimated value has been provided as part of the 2022 Reappraisal, however should the Board wish to sell the property, Tax Department staff will conduct a more thorough assessment of the property to provide a more accurate value. At this point, staff requests the Board provide direction on how you wish to dispose of the Pre-K building. Excerpts from the June 28, 2019 Code Evaluation Report including the campus layout and cost estimate are included along with this memo, as is the preliminary plat prepared by the Timmons Group. Please contact me with any questions you have on this matter.
