PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF STUDY The purpose of this Needs Assessment Study (Study) is for Shelter Planners of America (SPA) to provide information to Harnett County (HC) that will guide them in regard to their future facility needs. The Study was authorized by Brent Trout, County Manager on July 5, 2022 in accordance SPA proposal dated June 1, 2022. Information in this Study was developed from information provided by HC and observed during our on-site visit on August 8th and 9th, 2022. The Study provides a brief statement about the existing facility, looks at people and animal levels current and projected, provides a proposed Building Space Program, provides site considerations, recommended features, discusses staffing, operating cost, and an Opinion of Probable Cost. It should be understood this Study is the first step in planning a new shelter. The second step will be to develop the Conceptual Site Plan and Building Floor Plan based on the approved Building Program contained in this Study. The third and final step will be development of the working drawings and specifications for constructing your project. The Needs Assessment was held on August 8th and 9th, 2022, at Harnett County Offices that lasted about 6 hours. The following were in attendance: Name Organization Title Brent Trout Harnett County Administration County Manager Coley Price Harnett County Administration Assistant County Manager Kenneth Snipes Harnett County Administration Facilities Manager Barry Blevins Harnett County Animal Services Director Mike Barnard Shelter Planners of America President There was also a separate presentation held with the County Commissioners on August 9th, 2022. HCBOC 021423 ws Pg. 5 Shelter Planners of America, Copyright © Comm # 1208 Page 4 of 33 2. EVALUATION OF EXISTING FACILITIES General Harnett County Animal Services started in 1950. The Animal Services Manager is responsible for the operation of the existing shelter. The present shelter was constructed in 1985, renovations were made in 2004. The shelter contains approximately 8,032 square feet of indoor space, some storage sheds and some outdoor dog and livestock pens. Front view of existing shelter Back of existing shelter HCBOC 021423 ws Pg. 6 Shelter Planners of America, Copyright © Comm # 1208 Page 5 of 33 The present shelter facility was built with materials and concepts that are of lower quality materials and finishes than today’s modern shelters. The building does not have good flow and creates additional work for staff. The dog kennels are not ideal for ease of cleaning and maintaining the animals in a healthy state. The staff has done the best job possible of maintaining the building under difficult conditions. They are to be commended for keeping the building clean and presentable to the public. It has already been determined that a new shelter is needed. Therefore, an extensive list of deficiencies has not been provided in this study. Floor Plan of Existing Shelter HCBOC 021423 ws Pg. 7 Shelter Planners of America, Copyright © Comm # 1208 Page 6 of 33 3. PEOPLE AND ANIMAL LEVELS The shelter serves Harnett County except for the City of Dunn with a total people population of approximately 140,896 for 2022. It should be noted that the HCAS had a different director running the shelter from the end of 2019 until approximately ¾’s through 2021. The intake was managed differently and therefore these years are not an accurate representation off the needs of the County. Because of this discrepancy, the 2022 intake is estimated based on the intake from January 1, 2022 to August 8, 2022 . The estimate number of animals that will possibly be received at the shelter in 2022 to be approximately 3,128. This total is composed of approximately 1,322 dogs, 1,579 cats, and 227 other species. (43% dogs and 57% cats) There is one other animal shelter in the County in the City of Dunn, but HCAS does not serve them. It should be noted the human population for Harnett County also includes the approximately 10,000 people in the City of Dunn. Nationally, the number of animals normally received at local shelters annually is 2-3% of the human population. For Harnett County’s 140,896 people this would translate into potentially 2,817 – 4,227 animals turned into the shelter. This means the number of animals we anticipate HCAS to receive this year should be within the range of the national average at 2.2% of the human population. While the number of animals received is within national averages there is a still animal over-population challenge. Over the next 20 years, the population of Harnett County is projected to increase to approximately 176,491, a 25% increase. More extensive preventative programs including low cost and subsidized spay/neuter procedures, public education promoting responsible pet ownership, and developing progressive ordinances is part of the solution to reducing unwanted and stray animals. The underlying overpopulation of pets is caused by irresponsible pet ownership and uncontrolled breeding of pets. Although animal overpopulation is beginning to come down nationwide due to remedial programs, it can be countered by increasing human population and continued irresponsible pet ownership. HCBOC 021423 ws Pg. 8 Shelter Planners of America, Copyright © Comm # 1208 Page 7 of 33 As discussed on the previous page, the 2022 intake is estimated based on the intake from January 1, 2022 to August 8, 2022. The following estimated disposition is based on the disposition information we received from January 1, 2022 to August 8, 2022. If the shelter intakes 3,161 dogs and cats as predicted, the projected disposition is as follows: (Please note the break down below does not represent full 2022 information and is only an estimation) Adoption: approximately 2,568, or approximately, 81.24% are anticipated to be adopted. The number of adoptions is on a good trend compared to many modern shelters that have adoption rates of 70 – 80% but improvements are still needed. Returned to Owner: approximately 104, or approximately 3.29%, are anticipated to be returned to their owners. The number of returns to owners is trending low when compared to many modern shelters that have return to owner rates between 10-20%. Euthanized: approximately 483, or about 15.28%, are anticipated to be euthanized which trends in the average range of many modern shelters that have rates of 10–20%. There is a strong push nationally to move to a 90% live release rate. Died in Shelter: approximately 6, or about 0.19%, are anticipated to die in the shelter which trends in the normal range. HCBOC 021423 ws Pg. 9 Shelter Planners of America, Copyright © Comm # 1208 Page 8 of 33 Projected Animal Housing Need Before we discuss the proposed animal housing for the new shelter, we want to discuss an important question. “Will Holding More Animals for Longer Periods of Time Increase the Number of Animals Adopted?” “If we hold more animals for longer times won’t more be adopted?” The two following examples can help individuals understand this frequently misunderstood question. Before we examine the questions however, we want to emphasize the importance of all healthy animals being provided a reasonable stay. As long as animals are emotionally and physically healthy, and kennels are not overcrowded, it is reasonable to extend their stay. However, dogs should not be kenneled so long that it adversely affects their behavior, causing neurotic behavior such as pacing, spinning and aggression. This issue often becomes confusing for many people when trying to understand the value (or lack thereof) of building bigger shelters and holding more and more animals for longer periods. The following examples will help facilitate understanding: 1. In the first example, assume the shelter holds animals an average of ONE week each during a one-year period. During the year, 300 people (or pet rescue groups) visit per month with the intention to adopt a pet. How many animals could be adopted in that year? If every visitor adopted, you would adopt 3,600 animals. Now, assume you kept every animal for FOUR weeks (four times longer) during a one- year period. The same 300 people per month visited with the intention to adopt a pet. How many animals could be adopted in a year? If every visitor adop ted, you would still adopt 3,600 animals. As you can clearly see, holding the animals longer, by itself, did not affect adoptions. HCBOC 021423 ws Pg. 10 Shelter Planners of America, Copyright © Comm # 1208 Page 9 of 33 It is important that your shelter make an informed decision of how many animals to hold at any given time and how long to hold each animal to provide the best opportunity for adoption and have humane treatment. 2. In this second example the shelter houses about 100 animals available for adoption at all times. The same 300 people visit per month with the intention to adopt a pet. How many will be adopted in one year? If every visitor adopts, you will have 3,600 adoptions in one year. Now, assume the organization builds a shelter to house twice as many animals, holding about 200 animals at all times, how many will then be adopted? If all of the 300 visitors adopted, you would still adopt 3,600 animals. As you can see, holding twice as many animals does not affect the number adopted. The conclusion of these two examples is simply this: The only factor that truly affects the number of animals you adopt is the number of people (or rescue groups) who visit the shelter with the intention of adopting. Holding animals longer and holding many more animals does not significantly increase adoptions. NOTE: (A shelter may hold an animal an extended period of time and finally get it adopted, but other animals are being euthanized to allow that one animal the space to stay longer. This is the scenario that causes people to think incorrectly, “If we could just hold all animals longer, they would all eventually be adopted”.) HCBOC 021423 ws Pg. 11 Shelter Planners of America, Copyright © Comm # 1208 Page 10 of 33 TO INCREASE ADOPTIONS, YOU MUST INCREASE THE NUMBER OF VISITORS (WHO WANT TO ADOPT). This is done through a good visible shelter location, visibility of all animals, weekend and evening hours, web -site pet listings, an attractive welcoming shelter, well-groomed and healthy animals, friendly staff, adoption requirements that are not too restrictive, reasonably low adoption fees, promotion of adoptions in all local media, special adoption events, the help of rescue groups and transfer programs. The more effective approach an animal shelter can take rather than warehousing animals is to help get all pets in their service area spayed or neutered and educate their community about responsible pet ownership. This will eventually solve the pet over - population problem in a community. A community simply cannot “shelter their way” out of an animal overpopulation problem. Refer to Exhibit A that shows the summary of current and projected animal intake and proposed animal housing along with the Average Length of Stay (ALS). This information is discussed in more detailed below. Dog Housing Capacity The existing shelter has a 9 day Average Length of Stay (ALS) for the approximate 1,322 dogs anticipated to be handled by the end of this year with the present dog housing capacity of 32. For the new shelter, we propose that housing for 56 dogs be provided, which results in an approximate 14 day ALS. We usually recommend planning based on a maximum 14 day average length of stay for dogs to avoid adverse effects of housing animals in shelters. Please refer to discussion starting on page 8 above that explains why excess lengths of stay do not really increase adoption. The Building Space Program, EXHIBIT B, includes housing for 56 dogs which is an increase of 75% over the existing shelter and results in a 14 day ALS. Refer to the Animal Housing section of the Building Space Program for the breakdown of the proposed Dog Housing. HCBOC 021423 ws Pg. 12 Shelter Planners of America, Copyright © Comm # 1208 Page 11 of 33 Cats Housing Capacity The existing shelter has a 9 day Average Length of Stay (ALS) for the approximate 1,579 cats anticipated to be handled by the end of this year with the present cat housing capacity of 38. We propose housing for 66 cats be provided, which results in a 14 ALS. We usually recommend planning based on a maximum of 14 days average length of stay for cats to avoid adverse effects of housing animals in shelters. Please refer to the discussion starting on page 8 above that explains why excessive lengths of stay do not really increase adoption. The Building Space Program EXHIBIT B includes housing for 66 cats which is an increase of 74% over the existing shelter and results in a 14 day ALS. Refer to the Animal Housing Section of the Building Space Program for the breakdown of the proposed cat housing. Other Animal Species The shelter is anticipated to handle approximately 227 other animals by the end of this year made up of a wide variety of species such as rabbits, hamsters, gerbils, pigs, and horses. HCAS has requested a separate room within the shelter with shelves and windows provided as well as 2 outdoor 15’ x15’ pens to accommodate these animals. This room can also be used for a variety of uses. HCBOC 021423 ws Pg. 13 Shelter Planners of America, Copyright © Comm # 1208 Page 12 of 33 4. BUILDING SPACE PROGRAM The Building Space Program is a detailed listing of each room or space proposed to accommodate HCAS needs based on a 10 year planning horizon. The net area of each room or space is listed. Net area is defined as the inside dimensions of the space but does not include the wall thickness and corridors. The quantity of each type of room or space is also listed. The rooms are sub-divided into major groupings such as Administrative, Medical, Animal Housing, Animals support areas. The net area totals are listed at the bottom of each section and then a grossing factor is applied to the net area. The grossing factor projects the estimated SF needed to accommodate the wall thickness, corridors and any other unidentified space. This helps to determine the tota l SF needed. The total SF is critical to developing an Opinion of Probable Cost. Since Harnett County is in an area of rapid growth, we propose the County consider designing and constructing the project in phases. Phase 1 would accommodate a 10 year growth but be designed to where it could be easily added onto with a Phase 2 if the anticipated new population growth comes as expected. Refer to attached EXHIBIT B dated 10-3-2022 for the Proposed Building Space Program. HCBOC 021423 ws Pg. 14 Shelter Planners of America, Copyright © Comm # 1208 Page 13 of 33 5. SITE CONSIDERATIONS The qualifications of a site are very important for the special needs of the shelter. HCAS is considering moving to a new site. The proposed new sites for HCAS were examined for the following criteria: A. Visibility: This is a very important concern for an animal shelter; however, it is most often overlooked. In the past, it was customary to locate shelters at out-of-the-way places on the least expensive properties like industrial areas or near sewage treatment plants or landfills. The theory was that if someone wanted to visit the shelter, they could call for directions to find it. Today it is recognized that locating shelters in high-visibility locations not only increases visitors and the number of pets adopted and returned to owners, but also reduces the need for animal euthanasia and helps build public awareness and community goodwill. A good location can increase adoption by 100%. Coupled with an active adoption promotion program, this location and visibility factor can increase adoptions and reduce euthanasia. Visibility is a very important consideration when considering a new site. B. Accessibility: It is important that the animal shelter be centrally located to the area it serves. If the shelter were located in a far corner of the jurisdiction, the driving time may be lengthy, and people would be less likely to use the shelter. That long drive would mean people being less likely to come to look for lost pets or visit for adoptions. The service area is Harnett County which is approximately 601 square miles; therefore, the travel distance can be significant to certain areas from any one location. The proposed new site should be relatively central to the service area. The site should have good access on and off of a major freeway or arterial street. HCBOC 021423 ws Pg. 15 Shelter Planners of America, Copyright © Comm # 1208 Page 14 of 33 C. Suitability: It is very important to check the potential sites for the following: 1. Availability of utilities such as water, sewer, gas and electricity. 2. Zoning restrictions: Finding a new site with zoning that will allow an animal shelter “by right” can be a challenge. If a special use permit or zoning change is required, these have been a challenge in some cities. 3. Easements, right-of-ways and setbacks: Each potential site should be carefully examined to make sure there are no restrictions that would prohibit the co nstruction of the new animal shelter. 4. Excessive topography or drainage concerns: Each potential site should be examined to make sure the slope across the site will allow for proper drainage and there is a place to drain the water to. However, sites with excess slopes should be avoided if possible. Sites should be checked to confirm they are not in an area that floods. 5. Check for wetland concerns: Each potential site should be examined to make sure it does not have any wet lands or if it does the rema ining area is still sufficient for the proposed project.

Odd shapes can be used but may require acquiring more land due to inefficiency of the shape. Potential sites may need to be “test fit” to determine everything works before acquiring the property. D. Parking: Adequate parking is very important for the success of an animal shelter. The parking needed for the shelter, based on function, is estimated as follows: Public Visitors 18 Staff 16 Volunteers 6 Foster Parking 2 ACO Vehicles 7 (includes 2 future) Trailers/van 4 Total 53 The City of Lillington required parking is 1 space per 500 sf based on All other Commercial and Entertainment Uses land use type. For the building size proposed in the Building Space Program, the City will require 30 parking spaces. However, sometimes a variance is required because the Authority Having Jurisdiction’s required parking is not appropriate to the needs of an animal shelter. Parking should be arranged to provide good visible parking for visitors and located for easy access to the main entrance. Staff parking should be separate and located to the side near a separate staff entrance. Shelter vehicles should be provided with simple to navigate routes with adequate turning radius and concealed from public view in a screened service yard. E. Site Size: The new site needs to be approximately 3 to 4 acres. This is based on a one story building of the size proposed in this study with surface parking for approximately 53 vehicles. This is assuming the site is relatively flat and rectangular in shape. If the site is an odd shape or has extensive slope, additional space may be required.

Other Outdoor Features: Space for designated areas for outdoor features is also important when considering the site. The following items are requested. 1. Two dog exercise yards with covered bench area for volunteers or staff 2. Two outdoor covered get acquainted yards 3. Outdoor walking trails 4. 20’ x 40’ covered pavilion 5. Two livestock pens 15’ x 15’ G. Summary: The chart below summarizes our very cursory rating of each site on a scale of 1 to 5, where 5 is best and 1 is poor. If HCAS decides to look for other sites, please use the criteria listed above in evaluating. Before purchasing a site, please allow SPA to prepare a “test fit” of the site and evaluate it in more detail.

RECOMMENDED FEATURES A. Design Concept The shelter should have low-maintenance, heavy-duty materials. The interior should be brightly lighted and open with pleasing colors and pleasant public spaces. Animal housing areas should provide as much health protection, safety and comfort as possible with today’s new materials and designs. For the new shelter we recommend a one-story building. The structure would be a slab on grade, depending on the soil condition, with masonry and framed walls and sloped truss roof. The exterior should avoid an institutional look, preferring a human scale and welcoming feel. It should be compatible with the community and be attractive and inviting to the public. Natural lighting should be provided to all public areas, animal housing areas and staff work areas. Attractive landscaping will be very important to the appearance of the shelter. We recommend that an extensive landscaping plan, be a part of the building project. An example of a welcoming new animal shelter by “Shelter Planners of America” of about the size needed HCAS HCBOC 021423 ws Pg. 21 Shelter Planners of America, Copyright © Comm # 1208 Page 20 of 33 1. Dog Housing – SPA presented several dog housing options to HCAS for consideration and they selected indoor/outdoor kennels. It is important that each dog has two spaces: a primary enclosure where their food, water, and bedding is located and a secondary space where they can eliminate away from their primary enclosure allowing them to live in their normal behaviors. The indoor portion of the kennel will allow the dogs to be comfortable both the summer and winter. The two-compartment kennel design will allow dogs to be kept safe and dry during the cleaning procedure by moving dogs to the covered outside run. This allows for efficient DIAGRAM OF INDOOR / OUTDOOR KENNELS (NOT TO SCALE) HCBOC 021423 ws Pg. 22 Shelter Planners of America, Copyright © Comm # 1208 Page 21 of 33 daily cleaning. Floors will be sloped to individual drains thereby eliminating trench drains which are difficult to clean and can cause cross contamination. There should be special sound control materials used in the design to keep the noise level down. Dog Kennels should be arranged where dogs are not looking at each other across the aisle which can cause stress and increase barking. 2. Puppy areas - Puppies are to be housed separately from the adult dogs for disease control. We recommend all puppies be housed in floor level pens. This is to prevent Photo of outdoor portion of indoor/outdoor kennels Photo of indoor portion of indoor/outdoor kennels HCBOC 021423 ws Pg. 23 Shelter Planners of America, Copyright © Comm # 1208 Page 22 of 33 them from stepping out of an elevated cage with an open door, falling out of cages located several feet above the floor and possibly injuring themselves. Puppies will have individual inside pens to hold litters of puppies separated from adult dogs. 3. Cat Housing SPA recommends two compartment housing for cats which is consistent with recommendations of the Association of Shelter Veterinarians. This allows the cat cages to be spot cleaned on one side while the cat is in the other compartment. This eliminates the need to move the cats out of their cages for cleaning. This reduces the potential transfer of disease and reduces stress for the cats.

Interior Features Shelters built in the past did not have the advantage of using many of the new innovative materials and equipment available only in recent years. Animal shelters of today are no longer just “warehouse structures” with cages lined down the walls. Shelters are very specialized buildings which are more like hospitals and shopping malls than warehouses in construction. A high level of quality is needed if the facility is to be able to keep animals healthy and to hold up under heavy wear. This is especially important for a shelter that is striving to present an attractive, welcoming image to the public. An attractive, spacious, quiet front lobby is important in a shelter. This improves customer satisfaction and increases adoptions. The goal is to make the shelter a place where employees feel positive and the public enjoys visiting for pet adoption, pet retrieval, pet owner education and other animal services. Most importantly, the shelter must house animals in the healthiest, least stressful manner possible. Today, modern shelters are designed to include central washing equipment, automatic animal watering systems, individual kennel floor drains, fresh air with heat exchangers HCBOC 021423 ws Pg. 27 Shelter Planners of America, Copyright © Comm # 1208 Page 26 of 33 for economy, heated kennel floors, noise control systems and long-lasting, easily disinfected wall and floor finishes. Special equipment can be utilized in a new shelter. During the preparation of the construction drawings and specifications in Step 3 we will review with you all of the details and choices that are available including performances, features, pros & cons, and the cost implications of the various options. Some of the equipment and finishes are pictured below. The special epoxy on kennel floor finish comes in an attractive array of earth tone colors to make kennels cheerful and bright. It also halts bacteria growth. HCBOC 021423 ws Pg. 28 Shelter Planners of America, Copyright © Comm # 1208 Page 27 of 33 Shelter Planners of America uses special Guillotine doors with an insulated Pet door that prevents loss of heated or cooled air from the kennel. Each dog Kennel is equipped with an automatic waterer so that dogs always have fresh water available with no staff time required refilling bowls.

Heating, Ventilating, Air Conditioning (HVAC) HCBOC 021423 ws Pg. 30 Shelter Planners of America, Copyright © Comm # 1208 Page 29 of 33 Heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems must be designed to provide clean, odor free and uncontaminated air throughout all animal housing areas. This is essential to control the spread of air borne disease. The HVAC system will be custom designed to provide a high volume of fresh air to kennels with a specific number of air changes per hour at the proper temperature and humidity range. The system will be designed to provide ceiling air supply above public walkways with a ceiling exhaust above dog runs opposite each supply providing the best odor control for the visiting public and staff. Additionally, the systems will be fitted with heat exchangers to recapture energy before it is exhausted. This helps keep utility bills as low as possible. There will also be supplemental roof mounted exhaust fans (with separate switches on timers, with red lights) to pull out moist air during and immediately following kennel cleaning. The facility should be served by multiple, separate, smaller HVAC systems, each to serve a portion of the facility. This smaller equipment is less expensive to install and service and if a system fails, you still have portions of the building heated and cooled until the system is repaired. Animals can be doubled up until repairs are made. The administrative areas are on a separate air system to prevent odors from entering the staff areas. Warmed floor areas in the front half of each dog run can be used during cooler seasons. This warmed spot is about 3’ deep by the width of the run. The warmed area improves the animal’s resistance to disease and allows the animal to be comfortable and quieter during the day. The warmed floor also helps speed the floors drying after wa sh down. These have also been used in the exterior runs to melt snow. It should be noted that in recent years many shelters provide beds or blankets for each dog. Cleaning the beds and / or blankets is an expensive ongoing cost. These may not be needed if heated floors are provided. However, because the heated floors are invisible to the general public, some groups end up using blankets anyway to due to public pressure. Some have put up signs that read “our dogs sleep on heated floors” HCBOC 021423 ws Pg. 31 Shelter Planners of America, Copyright © Comm # 1208 Page 30 of 33 7. STAFFING The present animal shelter staff consists of the following staff positions: Position Number of Staff Accumulated Total Full Time Part Time 1 Animal Shelter Manager 1 1 2 Field Service Officers 3 4 3 Animal Shelter Attendants 3 1 7.5 This staffing level is below average compared to most shelters across the Country handling approximately the same number of animals and having similar adoption results. HCAS should plan increase the staff at the shelter. It should be noted they HCAS is planning to hire two additional Field Service Officers. HCAS should consider the following staff for the proposed new shelter: Position Number of Staff Accumulated Total Full Time Part Time 1 Field Service Officers 2 2 2 Transport and Foster Coordinator 1 3 3 Community Outreach 1 4 Also, in new shelter that is a more pleasant environment, it should be possible to have a successful volunteer program. Volunteers can help with a wide variety of activities at the shelter to promote adoption. HCBOC 021423 ws Pg. 32 Shelter Planners of America, Copyright © Comm # 1208 Page 31 of 33 8. OPERATION COST The present annual operating cost is $539,084. The average cost per animal handled is approximately $172 based on the anticipated 3,128 animals HCAS is expected to receive in 2022. Nationally, animal shelter operational budgets run between $250 and $500 per animal. The HCAS operating cost is slightly lower than the normal range. The proposed new shelter will be larger than the present shelter and the cost of utilities will be higher than the existing shelter. However, the maintenance cost of a new building will be generally less than an older building. We anticipate the operating budget should be increased to accommodate the increased utility costs and the proposed additional staffing. HCBOC 021423 ws Pg. 33 Shelter Planners of America, Copyright © Comm # 1208 Page 32 of 33 9. OPINION OF PROBABLE COST Construction cost of animal shelters vary significantly, based on the national economy, the region of the country they are constructed in, when they are constructed and the individual market factors at that time and the method of project delivery. Other im portant factors are the size of the shelter, the site conditions such as soil and topography, quality of finishes and materials, HVAC systems included and the quality of animal equipment. Since detailed design drawings and engineering have not been prepared at this time, only estimated costs can be presented. This is based on actual costs of several good quality shelters we have designed. We have taken those costs and adjusted the cost for Raleigh, NC in 2022 based on the R.S Means cost guide. Refer to EXHIBIT D for examples of shelters built around the country with the estimated cost per sf adjusted for Raleigh,NC. Unfortunately, there is not construction cost data available specifically for Harnett County. It is possible the costs within the county could be lower, but we are not certain. Also, occasionally we find a community that rallies behind the project and “in -kind” services are donated that reduces the cost. We recommend (Harnett County) plan for the worst and hope for the best. Please note that modern animal shelters are more like a combination of a hospital and a shopping mall than a warehouse or other industrial use. The cost of modern animal shelters often surprises people because the cost is actually more than many buildings they may be familiar with. The following are some reasons for this: 1. Animal shelter foundations are complicated because there will be slopes within the animal housing areas to drains and this requires additional labor beyond most buildings like schools or office buildings. 2. The floor finishes in animal housing areas are perhaps 3 times the cost of typical carpet or other floor finishes in most buildings. 3. Animal shelters have animal equipment that can add $20 to $30/SF on top of the cost of most buildings. Occasionally, the costs people hear about other animal shelters HCBOC 021423 ws Pg. 34 Shelter Planners of America, Copyright © Comm # 1208 Page 33 of 33 they do not know if this equipment is included in the price or not. For the estimate in this study we have included the animal equipment. 4. Animal shelters have more walls per SF than most any other building type. For example, dog kennels walls are usually 4 feet to 6 feet apart whereas classrooms in schools are more like 20 feet apart. 5. The Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) systems in the animal housing portions of animal shelters are more expensive than other buildings to reduce disease transmission. 6. The wall finishes in the animal housing portions of animal shelters need to be a non - porous and durable finish to prevent disease transmission and to stand up to the daily washing. Glazed structural tile is a common material but costs significantly more than other materials. 7. Sound control within animal shelters is generally more cost than many building types due to the dogs barking. This requires the walls being extended to the roof deck to prevent sound transmission to other areas and this requires sound absorption materials that cost more than normal materials. Refer to Exhibit C dated 10-3-2022 for the Opinion of Probable Cost. We have included Construction Costs including Site Work as well as for soft costs and contingency that should be considered. Please note, the cost of land is not included. HCBOC 021423 ws Pg. 35 HARNETT COUNTY ANIMAL SERVICES FIGURE 1.

Foster care will allow some of the young ones to grow and the sick and injured to heal. The Foster Care Program brings caring individuals and needy animals together, providing special care in a home setting until the animals are ready for adoption. 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 and that animals in its care. ANIMAL ELIGIBILITY Determining eligibility of animals suitable for fostering is the responsibility of Animal Services. Decisions regarding foster eligibility will be made by the Animal Services staff designated by the Animal Services Director in consultation, as needed, with the Veterinarian and Animal Services Director. Animals eligible for foster care include: 1.Underage kittens and puppies; 2.Animals with a treatable illness, with reasonable intervention; 3.Animals with a treatable injury, with reasonable time and treatment; 4.Orphaned kittens and puppies; and 5.Others as approved by the Animal Services Shelter Manager. Animals usually not eligible for foster care include: 1.Animals with serious medical problems and a poor prognosis for recovery or rehabilitation; 2.Animals with serious behavior problems, such as serious aggression issues that put humans or other animals at risk of harm; 3.Pregnant animals, unless approved by Veterinarian or designated Shelter staff; and 4.Animals with suspected zoonotic disease unless approved by Veterinarian or Shelter Manger. FOSTER VOLUNTEER ELIGIBILITY Volunteers may foster eligible animals if they meet the following requirements: 1. Foster volunteer must be 18 years or older and reside in Harnett County; 2.If foster volunteer owns cats or dogs they must be up to date on vaccinations and proof of vaccination must be on file with the County Animal Shelter; 3. Foster volunteer must have an area where you can keep foster animals quarantined from their own animals in the event of illness or during socialization process; Item 4 HCBOC 021423 ws Pg. 88 3 4.If foster volunteer rents, property landlord must approve the fostering of animals within the rented property; 5.Foster Parent must be willing to foster puppies or kittens for up to 8 weeks, sometimes longer if they need medical care; and 6.Foster Parent must be able to bring them back to the shelter or to the veterinarian office periodically for vaccinations and spay/neuter. All eligible volunteers are required to submit an application (Appendix A), undergo an approval process, and attend a walkthrough session and orientation at the Harnett County Animal Shelter before they can foster an animal. Approval by the County to participate in the foster program does not guarantee that the County will place a foster animal with an approved volunteer. ANIMAL SERVICES RESPONSIBILITIES Harnett County Animal Services is responsible for the operation of the Animal Foster Program. As the agency that oversees the Animal Shelter and Foster program, Harnett County Animal Services will be responsible for: 1.Accepting and reviewing applicants of foster volunteers to determine suitability taking into consideration the submitted application, references, and veterinarian references. 2.Determining suitability of animals to participate in the foster program. 3.Pairing animals and foster volunteers; and 4.Making ongoing decisions about foster animal care that are dependent on financial resources and prognosis for recovery. All medical/surgical decisions about foster animals will be made by Harnett County Animal Services. Harnett County Animal Services is not responsible for volunteers taking foster animal to another veterinarian for exam, diagnostic testing, treatment, etc. and will not reimburse the volunteer in the event they do not use approved veterinarians or emergency medical providers. FOSTER VOLUNTEER RESPONSIBILITIES While the care and decisions regarding the care of the animals is ultimately the responsibility of Harnett County Animal Services, approved foster volunteers who are paired with a foster animal will be responsible for some or all of the following: 1. Reading and signing the Foster Contract/Release Form (Appendix B); 2. Returning the animal to the shelter or the veterinarian office for vaccinations and spaying/neutering; 3.Housebreaking and crate training (if possible); 4.Carefully introducing the foster animal to new people, other pets, a variety of situations, etc.; 5.Making the dog/cat available for introductory visits with potential adopters; 6.Returning the foster animal to the shelter if they need medical care; and 7.Contact shelter in the event the foster animal needs emergency medical care. HCBOC 021423 ws Pg. 89 4 As a county facility, the Animal Shelter accepts animals from all over Harnett County. This means that sick animals are often brought into the Animal Shelter. Though the County does vaccinate animals that are under its care and control, there is always the risk that foster animals could be carrying an illness. It is the responsibility of the foster volunteer to observe the foster animal and report any symptoms of illness they may notice. FOSTER TO ADOPT The Foster to Adopt Program is a program for volunteers who wish to adopt an animal that is not yet eligible for adoption but is eligible for fostering to provide foster care for the animal until such time as the animal is deemed ready for adoption by Harnett County Animal Services. The volunteer who wishes to participate in this program will pay the adoption fees up front and will foster the animal until such time as it is deemed eligible for adoption. While the animal is in foster status, volunteers will fulfill their foster volunteer responsibilities. Once the animal is eligible for adoption, the foster volunteer will bring the animal back to shelter to sign paperwork transferring ownership of the animal to the volunteer.

BACKGROUND Mobility management connects people with disabilities, seniors, low-income individuals, and others with accessible, reliable transportation options. Effective mobility management requires coordination and cooperation among a host of public and private entities, providing comprehensive and affordable service. The process of mobility management seeks to identify gaps and barriers to public transportation that prevent individuals from using existing services. Mobility managers work with partners to find solutions, creating a “one-stop shop”where people can find transportation service that meets their needs. HCBOC 021423 ws Pg. 99 Public transportation options outside our region’s fixed-route bus systems are limited and more coverage is needed In the more rural parts of our region, it is difficult to sustain regularly scheduled bus service because the demand is comparatively low At the same time, available reservation-based transportation services are not well known and those that are available are often constrained A program that includes more outreach, consolidated information, and better coordination with providers and others can help address these unmet needs Why is Mobility Management Needed Here? BACKGROUND HCBOC 021423 ws Pg. 100 Recommended Strategy Creating a mobility management structure is one of five main strategies from the 2018 coordinated plan Highlights the need for more rural transportation, especially related to non-medical human services Focuses on helping individuals and organizations navigate available services The Mobility Coordination Committee (MCC) identified a
