MEMORANDUM
From: Hank Graham, AICP, Executive Director
Subject: FAMPO Boundary Assessment Update and Memorandum of Understanding
Date: May 9, 2024
Background
In order to conduct better planning and data input for the 2050 Metropolitan
Transportation Plan Update, the FAMPO 2050 travel demand model boundary was
expanded in 2023 to include all of Cumberland and Hoke Counties, a majority of Harnett
County, and portions of Robeson and Moore Counties.
FAMPO Urban Area Boundary Assessment Requirements:
• Boundary Agreement between all agencies plus the Governor 23CFR450.310
• Must encompass the entire contiguous urbanized area plus areas expected to
become urbanized within 20 years 23CFR450.312
• Boundary to be reviewed after each census 23CFR450.312
• MPA boundaries may be established to coincide with the geography of regional
economic development and growth forecasting areas 23CFR450.312
• The MPA boundary descriptions shall be submitted either as a geo-spatial database
or described in sufficient detail to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)
23CFR450.312
• Oversee the allocation of Locally Administered Projects Program (LAPP) funding.
On May 9, 2024, the Fayetteville Area Metropolitan Planning Organization’s FAMPO
Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC) voted to expand its Urban Area Boundary. In
summary, the boundary expansion covers the southern half of Harnett County and adds
the Town of Erwin and a portion of Moore County to the already existing FAMPO
boundary. The attached Memorandum of Understanding is a corresponding document
for the boundary expansion.
Action Requested
Please approve the attached boundary expansion and sign the MOU as participating

CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY AND AGREEMENT
ARTICLE I
PURPOSES
It is important for the Nonprofit Funding Committee, its officers, and members to be aware that
both real and apparent conflicts of interest sometimes occur in the course of conducting the
affairs of the committee and that the appearance of the conflict can be troublesome even if there
is in fact no conflict whatsoever. Conflicts occur because the many persons associated with the
corporation should be expected to have, and do in fact, generally have multiple interests and
affiliations and various positions of responsibility within the community. In these situations, a
person will sometimes owe identical duties of loyalty to two or more people. The purpose of the
conflict of interest policy is to protect the committee's interest of when it is contemplating
entering into a transaction or arrangement that might benefit the private interest of office or
member of the committee or might result in a possible excess benefit transaction. The conflict of
interest policy is intended to supplement but not replace any applicable state and federal law.
Conflicts are undesirable because they potentially or eventually place the interests of others
ahead of the committee's obligations to its charitable purposes and to the public interest.
Conflicts are also undesirable because they often reflect adversely upon the person involved and
upon the institutions with which they are affiliated, regardless of the actual facts or motivations
of the parties. However, the long-range best interests of the corporation do not require the
termination of all association with persons who may have real of apparent conflicts that are
harmless to all individuals involved.
Each member of the committee has a duty of loyalty to the committee. The duty of loyalty
generally requires a member to prefer the interest of the committee over member's interest or the
interests of others. In addition, members of the committee shall avoid acts of self-dealing which
may adversely affect the purpose of reputation of this committee.

Commissioners. Approved requests will be funded for one year only and the organization must apply
annually for consideration.

Priority areas for funding include five categories – Human Services, Education, Health and Safety,
Environment and Animal Welfare, and Arts, Culture and Recreation. Funding requests for Human

Harnett County Policy for Funding Nonprofits
Purpose
To establish a policy that ensures an accountable and consistent process for submitting, reviewing, and
approving nonprofit organization funding requests. This policy is subject to allocation of funds by the
Board of Commissioners.
Policy
Harnett County Government has no statutory requirement to fund nonprofit agencies. However, the
Board of Commissioners may consider providing funding to nonprofits that provide a vital service the
County does not provide, or if the organization can deliver the service at a reduced cost or in a more
expedient manner or to better the community. In each case, a Nonprofit Funding Committee comprised
of citizens, elected officials and staff will carefully review applications for funding. The committee will
make a recommendation for funding, which will be considered for approval by the Board of
Commissioners. Approved requests will be funded for one year only and the organization must apply
annually for consideration.
Priorities
Priority areas for funding include five categories – Human Services, Education, Health and Safety,
Environment and Animal Welfare, and Arts, Culture and Recreation. Funding requests for Human
Services may be reviewed and prioritized with the assistance of the Social Services Director, Health
Director or a local mental health entity, or others as needed. Other subject matter experts may be
called upon to review requests in the other categories if deemed necessary by the Committee.

organizations whose core functions/operations promote religious doctrine or are restricted to
members of a particular faith may apply for funding to support social outreach and charitable
services that benefit the community at large, but may not apply for general operating support.
• Organization must serve Harnett County. If the organization serves multiple counties, then the
funding requested must be limited to serving individuals within Harnett County.
• Organizations must offer programs and services without discrimination based on age, race,
national origin, ethnicity, gender, physical ability, sexual orientation, political affiliation, or
religious belief.

DATE: May 1, 2024
TO: Harnett County Board of Commissioners
FROM: Brent Trout, County Manager
SUBJECT: Budget Message for FY 2025
The work has been completed on the Harnett County FY 2025 budget, and it is presented to you today for review and consideration. Harnett County
prepares the annual budget in accordance with the statutory requirements with consideration of enhancing the quality for our residents. The budget has
been prepared with the purpose of supporting the strategic goals and priorities of the County Commissioners. You will see this specifically in the items we
are recommending for consideration in the expansion budget.
Property Reappraisal and Tax Rate
The property tax assessed values increased by approximately $496 million this year. The growth in home construction continues to increase our total
assessed valuation to levels never seen before in Harnett County. The continued growth in the County creates challenges for provision of services and
management of government services.
The current tax levy rate is $0.591/$100. The revenues in total compared to expenses for a continuation budget leaves a small deficit. In addition, the rapid
growth in the County and the priorities of the Board requires us to find additional resources and propose the use of a portion of existing fund balance. In
order to meet these needs, I am recommending the continuation of the current tax levy rate of $0.591/$100.
Other Revenue Sources
In looking at revenue sources other than property tax, we see good news as well as they surpass our Fiscal Year 2024 projections. The two biggest examples
of this growth in revenue are Building Inspection Fees and Sales Tax revenues. These positive increases are not surprising based on the County’s growth
pattern, however the sales tax growth is significantly less than last year.
Sales tax revenues continued to exceed our projections, but the growth is predicted to be at a more moderate rate during Fiscal Year 2025. The North
Carolina League of Municipalities (NCLM) provides sales tax forecast information, and we used their research in projecting our sales tax revenues. Based
on current research, NCLM projects that local sales tax revenues will finish Fiscal Year 2023-2024 2.9% above Fiscal Year 2022-2023 levels. They also
project a Fiscal Year 2024-2025 sales tax growth of 2.2% over Fiscal Year 2023-2024 levels.
Harnett County shares sales taxes with the municipalities based on the Ad Valorem method, meaning sales tax is distributed to the County and the
municipalities in proportion to the total amount of ad valorem taxes levied by each entity. With an increase in Medicaid costs and a decrease in sales tax
collection, we are projecting $2.1 million less in Medicaid Hold Harmless revenues.

The FY 2024 Original Budget amount for contingency was $1,460,000. As funds have been moved out of contingency into other departments, the Revised
Budget amount has been reduced to reflect these transfers. If the FY 2025 Recommended amount was compared with the original budget, the variance would
be $175,000 and the percent decrease would be 12%. This chart does not include the $1.4 million going to Harnett County Schools for maintenance needs.
Those funds are budgeted in the Board of Education Capital Reserve.
Fee Schedule Recommendations
A list of fees is recommended to be adjusted. Appendix 1 in the budget book contains the details on these changes.
We have included a recommended 17% increase across the board for rescue agencies, allocating 10% for increased operational costs and a 7% increase to
offset the loss of Medicaid Cost Settlement Funds. I am recommending increases in tax rates for two fire departments. The recommendation is detailed in
the table below and recommended increases are in red..

The justification for Fire District tax increases is as follows:
>Angier/Black River requested a 1-cent increase to help fund a new fire station and a rescue pumper truck. I am recommending a 1-cent increase in
their tax rate.
>West Area requested a 4-cent increase to make the rate equal to what is charged in Cumberland County. I am recommending a 4-cent increase in their
tax rate.
The County also levies the Averasboro School District tax. No change is recommended for that district.
Harnett County Schools
Harnett County School System (HCS) submitted their request for funding to the County. The funding details are listed below:HCBOC 052824 ws Pg. 76
Budget MessageHarnett County, North Carolina | Recommended Budget 2024-2025 17
>The school district will see an increase per student from $1,321.51 to $1,416.17 per student. The funding includes county and charter school students
that the school must fund. The total amount of base funding increased by $2,503,509.00 from $28,301,509 to $30,804,606. These additional funds
will help increase local supplement pay for certified staff and salary increases for classified staff.
>Provides funding for 2,048 charter school students (an increase of 519 over last year), which Harnett County Schools must share on a per-student basis.
>Holds HCS harmless for the loss of lottery funds. At the request of the Board of Education, the County is foregoing proceeds from the lottery for the
next two years due to a $10 million grant that was obtained to help fund the construction of the new Northwest Harnett Elementary. Capital outlay
spending, budgeted in the Board of Education Capital Reserve, remains at Fiscal Year 2024 levels, in spite of this loss of more than $1 million in lottery
funds. (School systems do not share capital outlay funds with charter schools).
Compensation Study, Pay Recommendations and Organizational Excellence
The completion of a compensation study last year provided support for increases in salaries for all positions in the County. The Board of Commissioners
authorized a substantial increase in pay for law enforcement and emergency medical personnel in FY 2024.
>We have a current total of 51 full-time vacancies versus 101 vacancies last year, of which 32 of those positions are in our public safety departments.
The increased compensation levels have had a positive impact on retention and recruitment.
>The recommendation included in the budget is to provide a 3% COLA increase for all employees.
>The recommendation included in the budget is to provide a 1.5% performance pay increase to staff that meet expectations and have a positive performance
evaluation.
>Increased employer contribution by 3% for health insurance premiums instead of passing an increase to employees.
>Retirement contribution increased by 0.95% for law-enforcement officers and 0.70% for all other county employees.
>There are 16 new positions recommended due to increased demand for services Nine of these new positions are in Harnett Regional Water.
>There are 12 reclassifications and two special salary adjustments recommended due to changes in duties and certifications received.
>The budget provides a shift premium of $10 per shift for certified training officers for the Emergency Communications Division of the Sheriff’s Office.
>The budget provides an additional $12.50 per day for Election Workers.
Community Programs and County Initiatives
>Provides funding for two small business grants ($5,000) in partnership with the Small Business Development Center at Central Carolina Community
College.
>Provides funding for countywide in-person customer service training and supervisory training for new and future supervisors.
>Provides funding for additional Parks and Recreation programs (instructor led classes, senior programming, athletic camps/clinics).HCBOC 052824 ws Pg. 77
Budget Message18 Harnett County, North Carolina | Recommended Budget 2024-2025
>Provides funding for additional Public Library programs (children’s programming).
>Provides funding towards increasing teacher supplements.
American Rescue Plan Funding Plan
>Harnett County received $26,411,744 in funding through the American Rescue Plan.
>The Board of Commissioners have approved a plan to utilize most of the American Rescue Plan funding. The Board approved an updated list of projects
that will utilize $25,058,359 of the funding with $1,353,385 to be determined at a later date.
>The FY 2024-25 budget will allocate the use of an additional $1,031,186 of those funds for one-time projects. The ARPA fund has generated over $1
million in additional revenue from earned interest. The interest may be utilized in the same manner as the supplanted funds.
>Staff has implemented some of the projects in FY 2023 and FY 2024 with a requirement to obligate all of the money by December 31, 2024 and spend
all of the money by December 31, 2026.
Other County Initiatives
The Board of Commissioners completed the first ever Strategic Plan for Harnett County in 2022. The process involved the Board of Commissioners, County
staff, and the public to develop the strategic plan. Staff completed the Performance Management process to determine action plans for the key strategic
actions. The process has continued in FY 2024 with phase four with the creation of business plans for each department to execute. The business plans
are expected to be completed and approved by the County Manager by June 30, 2024, with implementation to occur throughout the FY 2025 budget year
and into the future.
The County contracted with Cloudwyze to install a fixed wireless broadband system in the area north of the Cape Fear River. The first phase is complete
and the second phase began in early 2024 with ARPA funding. The new system will provide a new and better option for access to broadband for many
residents of Harnett County.
We spent a great deal of time projecting our revenues and expenses to ensure that we were as accurate as possible in determining our resources available
and our funding needs. Departments were asked to justify any spending over Fiscal Year 2024 budgeted amounts and their requests were reviewed in detail
by our budget team. We also continued breaking the budget into continuation and expansion funding requests. Continuation refers to funding needed for
ongoing operations, while expansion requests are for new programs and positions. Each expansion request is separately justified by the director. You will
see CONT (continuation) and EXP (expansion) columns in the budget summaries of the document. Any new request is also detailed separately, along with
the cost to the County.
Over the past few years, we have continued improving our Capital Improvements Program (CIP) process, and the Board of Commissioners adopted the CIP in
December 2024. The improved process and early adoption meant that we were able to focus our time this spring on the operating budget. In addition to the
CIP funding, the influx of ARPA funds and state directed funding allows us to address several of our capital improvement projects sooner than anticipated,
such as the fiber extension, VIPER radio replacement project, Jetport Terminal project and park improvement projects.HCBOC 052824 ws Pg. 78
Budget MessageHarnett County, North Carolina | Recommended Budget 2024-2025 19
The budget that I am proposing provides the funding needed by the schools, community college, and the departments to continue to provide the quality
service and support that the citizens of Harnett County expect. The proposed budget provides increases in order to operate our government and covers new
expansion items related to keeping up with our growing County and operations. The tax levy rate will remain the same as last year in the proposed budget.
I want to thank Central Carolina Community College, the Fire and EMS Departments, Harnett County Schools, and other community partners for their
collaboration in developing the Fiscal Year 2025 budget. I want to thank the department directors for submitting their information and requests in a timely
manner with well thought out justifications for their requests. I would love to meet all their requests, but unfortunately, we do not have the resources to
do so. I also want to thank Budget Director, Lisa McFadden, for all the countless hours she has spent preparing this budget for your consideration.
We have a joint session planned with the Board of Education on May 14, 2024, to discuss their budget request. The presentation of budget details will be
conducted on May 14, 2024, with a public hearing on the budget conducted on May 20, 2024. We will have the budget on as a discussion item on the May
28, 2024, meeting to address any concerns and answer any questions regarding the recommended budget. The final approval of the budget is scheduled
for the June 3, 2024, meeting.
We look forward to receiving your comments, questions, and direction over the next month regarding the proposed budget. Please contact Lisa or myself
with your questions, and we will respond as quickly as possible.
Respectfully,
Brent Trout

Arts Funding: The County receives funding for arts programs and passes
that funding to other agencies that provide the programs. The budget is
reduced by this amount because the arts funding varies, and the County
is not certain of the amount it will receive. Once the amount is known,
a budget amendment will be done to add these funds and the offsetting
allocations.
Cultural & Recreation Appropriation
The funding in this budget includes pass-through amounts for state arts funding to towns and nonprofits in the County and a $150,000 annual appropriation
to Campbell University for use of facilities.

Fund operating costs to implement an early literacy program to support
the Library located at 455 McKinney Parkway, Lillington: Provide funding
for operating expenses to implement the “1,000 Books Before Kindergarten”
library program to increase early literacy skills and school readiness in
children ages 0-5 in Harnett County. In FY 2025, the Library will participate
in the nationwide literacy challenge, encouraging children and their parents
to read 1000 books together before Kindergarten. Collaborative reading
activities increase children’s pre-reading and literacy skills, exposing them
to heightened language proficiency and an expanded vocabulary. Research
has consistently demonstrated that children who experience reading at
home exhibit better readiness for school, setting the stage for continued
academic success throughout their educational trajectory.
Net Cost: $1,350.

Difference between FY 2024 and FY 2025: The FY 2024 Original Budget
amount for contingency was $1,460,000. As funds have been moved out of
contingency into other departments, the Revised Budget amount has been
reduced to reflect these transfers. If the FY 2025 recommended amount
was compared with the original budget, the variance would be $175,000
and the percent decrease would be 12%.
Contingency
Amounts are budgeted in contingency to avoid inflating department budgets for “what-if” situations. For example, in the past the Emergency Services
budget included $50,000 for a debris removal contract in case a natural disaster occurred requiring this service.

Capital Improvements Program Funding: The FY 2025 budget includes
$1,400,000 to fund the CIP school maintenance fund. Because of the loss
of more than $1 million in lottery proceeds, the Approved 2022-2028 CIP
reduced the funding to $410,000 per year. Because of the importance of
providing maintenance for schools, funding has been restored to what
was originally recommended. The County has absorbed the loss in lottery
proceeds.

Expansion & Other Notes
The County Manager recommends increases in tax rates for two fire departments. The increases are detailed in the table below and recommended
increases are in red.
The justifications for increases are as follows:
>Angier requested a 1-cent tax increase, and the manager recommended a 1-cent tax increase. Angier will you use the increased revenue to purchase
a new rescue pumper truck and help pay for a new fire station.
>West Area requested a 4-cent tax increase to make the rate equal to what is charged in Cumberland County. The manager recommended a 4-cent tax
increase.
The Averasboro School District is recommended at the same rate as current, 2 cents, which results in $411,935.

Capital Improvement Plan
2024-25
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The capital improvement plan attached herewith is a working tool developed by the HRW staff to give guidance toward the
County’s water and sewer infrastructure development and capital needs program. It consists of an assessment of the
current water and wastewater systems and projects these capital needs over a ten-year period. This plan is offered to the
Board to seek their guidance and input as they look toward Harnett County’s future. This plan should be a helpful fiscal
planning tool that allows us to forecast capital demands on revenues and borrowing power to help avoid overextending
ourselves financially during the next ten years and beyond. HRW recommends that the review and approval of this capital
improvement plan be accomplished annually as part of the budget process. General approval of this document by
resolution does not commit the Board to specific approval of any one project or expenditure, nor does it appropriate
money for any project. This would still be accomplished through separate capital project ordinances. The approval by
resolution from the Board simply approves the capital improvement plan as a plan for the forecast period.

Land Area Configurations. Harnett County is located in the south central portion of North Carolina. It lies partially in the
Coastal Plain and partially in the Piedmont section. The eastern two-thirds of the County exhibit topographic features
common to the Coastal Plain region of North Carolina. It is an area of level to gently rolling terrain with elevations ranging
from 100 to 300 feet above sea level. The major underlying geological formation includes sedimentary rocks consisting
mostly of unconsolidated sands and clays. Topographical features of the western part of the County resemble the
Piedmont region of North Carolina. It is an area of steeper hills with elevations as high as 450 feet above sea level. The
major underlying geological formation includes crystalline rocks, such as granite and slate.
Mission Statement.
“Harnett Regional Water provides high quality water and wastewater services to residents and businesses in Harnett
County and the surrounding region. The organization is focused on customer service and is committed to environmental
stewardship. Its position on the Cape Fear River, combined with significant investments in infrastructure and foresight
from past and current leaders, will allow Harnett Regional Water to continue to serve the rapidly growing central region of
North Carolina.” HRW continues to grow from a single county water and sewer department to a regional water and
wastewater provider.

Description of Existing Facilities. Harnett Regional Water provides water and/or wastewater services to approximately
110,000 Harnett County residents. HRW also provides public water to customers in Counties contiguous to ours. These
Counties include Cumberland, Johnston, Moore, Lee, and Wake. The Harnett County Regional Water Treatment Plant
supplies water to the Harnett County municipalities of Lillington, Angier, Erwin, and Coats. It supplies water to the Towns
of Fuquay-Varina and Holly Springs in Wake County and also the Towns of Spring Lake and Linden in Cumberland
County. It also jointly supplies water to Fort Bragg through a partnership with the Public Works Commission of
Fayetteville. The Harnett County Regional Water Treatment Plant utilizes the Cape Fear River as the source for the
system’s drinking water and currently has a treatment capacity of forty-two million gallons a day (42 MGD). HRW’s water
system consists of nine County water and sewer districts. Each of these districts exists as a separate legal entity
pursuant to Chapter 162A of the North Carolina General Statutes. The County maintains and operates the districts for a
fee equal to the districts’ debt service amount. This amount is paid from general revenues received from water and/or
wastewater sales from the various districts. The County established a “Harnett County Public Utilities Fund” in 1998 that
consolidated accounting for the operation of these districts. This allowed the department to budget revenues and
expenditures in a consolidated manner rather than nine individual district budgets. HRW provides wastewater treatment
to the Towns of Angier, Coats and Lillington in Harnett County. HRW also provides wastewater treatment to the Town of
Fuquay-Varina in Wake County and Fort Bragg Army Base in Cumberland County. HRW was established in 1982 with
approximately 600 water customers and 8 employees. We have grown in the forty-one years since to approximately
44,000 water customers, 14,000 sewer customers and 110 employees. HRW infrastructure consists of approximately
1,490 miles of water mains, 420 miles of sewer collection mains and totals over $365 million dollars in assets. In addition
to the 42 million gallon per day regional water plant mentioned above, other assets include 2 wastewater treatment plants
with a combined treatment capacity of 22.5 million gallons per day, 20 elevated water storage tanks with 8.9 million
gallons of capacity, 18.2 million gallons of ground storage capacity, a 60 million gallon reservoir, 24 water booster stations
with pumping capacity of 133 million gallons per day and 102 sewer lift stations. Approximately 95% of Harnett County

residents now have access to public water. As is apparent from the above history, HRW has experienced tremendous
growth and accomplishment through the valiant efforts and foresight of past and present Harnett County Commissioners
and staff. Their dedication to a countywide water and strategically located sanitary sewer system is the reason for the
utility’s success.
WATER SYSTEM
Treatment Facility. HRW’s existing 42 mgd (million gallons per day) regional water treatment facility was recently
upgraded to that capacity in FY 2016-17 at a cost of approximately $12 million dollars. The project added four new filters,
an upgraded alum sludge disposal system, new backwash/chemical storage and modified the raw water intake and raw
water/reservoir low-lift pump stations. Moore County, Johnston County, the Towns of Holly Springs and Fuquay-Varina in
Wake County, as well as Fort Bragg in Cumberland County are the current capacity holders in the Harnett County
Regional Water Treatment Facility. Currently, HRW is piloting the current treatment facility to establish what
improvements will be needed to safely remove PFAS and PFOA (and other such chemicals) from our water supply. Once
the pilot study is complete the needed treatment improvements will be added to this capital improvement plan. Due to the
tremendous residential growth in the County, Harnett Regional Water is also committed to building a new 8-10 mgd water
treatment facility in the Erwin area of the County. Our planning estimates project the new plant will be needed to
supplement the existing Harnett Regional Water Treatment Plant by the end of this decade. Cost estimates are currently
approximately $70 million dollars for the project as it will be funded by revenue bonds and HRW reserves. There is also
the strong possibility that other surrounding entities will be interested in purchasing capacity in the new planned water
treatment facility. Those discussions have already began.
Water Supply Plan. The State of North Carolina requires that all water systems submit an approved water supply plan
annually. This plan is currently being updated by the HRW staff. The purpose of this plan is to provide evidence to the
HCBOC 052824 ws Pg. 256
Harnett County, North Carolina | Recommended Budget 2024-2025 197 Harnett countY Fiscal Year 2025 Harnett regional Water- - 5
State that the water system is providing adequate planning for the supply of water through a designated planning period.
Water supply planning is also continuing in the area of hydraulic modeling as the engineering firm of Hazen & Sawyer is
engaged in providing an updated water hydraulic model of our entire distribution system. This will be critical importance in
planning and directing future water resources to accommodate new growth.
Water Conservation Measures. Harnett County amended its Water Shortage & Conservation Ordinance in the spring of
2008. The ordinance was amended in response to the drought conditions in our area over the last several years. The
ordinance now more clearly defines the stages of water conservation and what triggers their enactment. It also
established a normal irrigation schedule and increased the department’s enforcement authority during emergencies. Our
water supply is a critical resource that must be protected at all costs.
Water Distribution System.
HRW is in design discussions with the Town of Holly Springs in Wake County to upgrade our distribution system by
constructing a 12 MGD intermediate pump station and 1 million gallon elevated storage tank to complete HRW’s ability to
supply the Town with their entire 10 MGD water capacity allocation. This project is estimated to cost approximately $23
million dollars and would be jointly funded from the Town of Holly Springs and HRW. It is estimated to begin in FY 26 but
could happen earlier depending upon the Town’s schedule. The Erwin Water and Wastewater Project is planned for FY
25 and will make needed water and wastewater improvements in certain areas of the Town. This project is estimated to
cost $1.5 million dollars. The Harnett Jetport Utility Extension Project is planned for FY 27 and consists of the extension of
approximately 5,000 linear feet of 8 inch waterline and 4 inch sewer force main with the construction of a wastewater
pump station to serve the expansion of the facilities at and adjacent to the Harnett Regional Jetport. This project is
estimated to cost approximately $2.5 million dollars.

Regional Interconnects. As you are aware, Harnett County’s water system is interconnected to several area public
water systems that we do not provide water to including: the City of Dunn, the Town of Benson, the City of Raleigh, the
Town of Apex, the City of Fayetteville (PWC), the City of Durham, and finally the Town of Cary. These connections are of
a vital importance in the event of emergency water shortage conditions. The ability to provide and receive additional
water from these various sources makes all of these systems more dependent upon each other and truly interconnected
in a regional manner. HRW is a member of the Triangle Water Supply Partnership and our water system participates with
the triangle water utilities in regional water supply planning, with the goal of collaboratively planning for, maintaining, and
implementing, long-term sustainable and secure water supplies for our region in the future.
WASTEWATER SYSTEM
Wastewater Treatment and Collection. The County currently owns two active wastewater treatment plants, the North
Harnett Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant and the South Harnett Regional Wastewater Plant. The South Harnett
plant began operation in June 2009 and has a capacity of 15 mgd. It serves all of the southern area of the County and
Fort Bragg. The North Harnett Wastewater Treatment Plant has a capacity of 7.5 MGD and recently underwent major
modifications to its filters and bio-solids storage facilities as part of the North Harnett Wastewater Treatment Plant
Upgrade Project. This project was completed in FY 2020-21 at a cost of approximately $11 million dollars. The North
Harnett Wastewater Treatment Plant is also under construction for a major capacity upgrade which will increase the
plant’s capacity to 16 MGD. This project costs approximately $112 million dollars and includes participation from our
regional wastewater partner towns of Angier, Fuquay-Varina and Lillington. This major expansion is expected to be
complete in FY 26. The Southwest Wastewater Pump Station & Force Main Project consists of the renovation of our
regional sewer lift station and the construction of approximately 5 miles of 20 inch sewer force main along Hwy 87 in the
Southwest portion of Harnett County. This project is currently under design and is estimated to cost approximately $9
million dollars and construction should be underway in FY 25.

Regional Wastewater Facilities. Harnett County has commissioned four different engineers since 1968 to look at
comprehensive approaches to the long-range planning of Harnett County’s water and wastewater needs. The most
recent of these is the Northern Harnett Wastewater Master Plan for the Districts in the northern section of the County.
This study was authored by Hazen and Sawyer and was completed in FY 2017-18. All of these wastewater plans have
concluded that a regional approach utilizing a consolidation of systems is the best plan practical for protection of public
health and economic development. There will continue to be County development of services which will extend from
existing facilities; and, due to the escalating cost of expansion and operating expenses, it is likely that other regions within
the County will be attempting to regionalize systems within the next ten years. In addition to this, regulatory restraints will
force regionalization to happen in order to eliminate as many discharges into our water basin as possible. Areas outside
the County, which are tributary to our drainage basins and wastewater treatment facilities, (i.e. southern Wake County and
northern Cumberland County as recent examples) also provide realistic opportunities for regionalization. These
relationships should be nurtured to provide the greatest scale of economy in building additional wastewater collection lines
to serve Harnett County citizens.
FINANCIAL PLANNING
Revenue Projections. Revenue projections for the next 10 years are difficult if not impossible to correctly predict. They
are tied to a myriad of factors including residential and commercial growth in the County, local and regional economic
conditions, and the ability of our utility to meet all future water and sewer needs throughout the County and region. Before
we can attempt to predict future revenues, we need to look at current revenue trends for the last several fiscal years.

FY 20-21 $42,140,995
FY 21-22 $49,139,362
FY 22-23 $49,568,547
You can see from these figures that annual revenues increased by $14,944,448 in the last nine fiscal years. This
represents a 43% increase in annual operating revenues in that time span. The majority of this increase is due to the
growth of water and wastewater infrastructure throughout the County and increasing growth of water supply to the
surrounding region. Rates must be adjusted to cover the ever increasing cost of service to include debt repayment and
meet capital reserve targets to cover emergencies and capital project funding. The overall financial strategy of the
Department is to continue to maximize revenues consistent with an even pace of residential and commercial/industrial
growth within the County. Expenditures will be kept in line consistent with adequately maintaining treatment and
distribution systems while emphasizing regulatory compliance in all areas. Harnett Regional Water is at a historical
crossroads in the sense that 95% of all County residents have access to water. Additional access to water has been the
primary source of a growing revenue base in the past. However, since most areas within the County now have access to
water, future revenue growth will be directly correlated to the Department’s goal to provide access to sewer to densely
populated unincorporated areas of the County and the Department’s ever increasingly important role as a regional water
and wastewater treatment provider to surrounding municipalities, counties and Fort Bragg.

CUSTOMER SERVICE IMPROVEMENTS
HRW recently had a “Public Utilities Efficiency Study” completed by the Management Consulting firm of Martin-McGill out
of Asheville, NC. Although the overwhelming result of the study was positive, one of the main recommendations for
improvement within the department was in the area of customer service. Specifically, the need to upgrade existing
outdated technologies such as water/sewer customer billing software that was over a decade old, asset management
work order software, automated customer telephone systems, etc. HRW has aggressively started that process and has
recently completed the installation of a new and enhanced customer information system (CIS) software system that
includes a mobile work order and enhanced customer portal system. We have also engaged with new providers to
enhance our existing Interactive Voice Response (IVR) telephone system to give customers access to enhanced
technological features. HRW has also installed updated smart meters. These new meters send usage data to HRW
through a wireless network and provide much more information to our customers and staff. All of these efforts have
greatly improved our customers access to information and allowed us to serve their needs much more efficiently.

206 About the Capital Improvements Program (CIP) Harnett County, North Carolina | Recommended Budget 2024-2025
harnett countyAbout the Capital Improvements Program (CIP)
The CIP is a long-term plan for funding the County’s major capital needs. It shows how facilities, equipment, and other projects that cost $100,000 or more
could be scheduled and funded over the next seven years, beginning in FY 2025 .
It is important to state upfront that this is a PLAN, not a BUDGET, since a budget controls the actual spending of allocated funds. While staff attempts to
be as accurate as possible, it is difficult to estimate project costs exactly, particularly early in the planning process. Before funds can be spent, they must
be budgeted through the operating budget or, in most cases, through a separately adopted project ordinance.
The same is true for operating costs, particularly for new facilities. As facilities are being planned, staff attempts to identify operating costs, such as staffing
and utilities. The cost of these items depends on final square footage and operational issues that may not be apparent until the facility is far along in planning.
CIP Process
The CIP is a plan which is updated annually and may be modified at any time to reflect changing conditions. A CIP is a systematic way of anticipating,
planning, and budgeting for major projects. The adoption of a CIP can improve the credit worthiness (bond rating) of a jurisdiction.
Timeline for adoption:
>CIP requests originate at the department/agency level. Requests were submitted on or before September 23, 20233. Staff provided support to Harnett
County Schools (HCS) and Central Carolina Community College (CCCC).
>The Manager’s Office is responsible for reviewing new and existing requests and recommending a proposed CIP to the Board of Commissioners. The
recommended CIP was presented on November 20, 2023. During the November 28, 2023, work session, Commissioners reviewed the recommendation
in detail..
>Public comment was held on December 4, 2023.
>The CIP was adopted on December 18, 2023.
Overall Approach
Keep in mind that the Capital Improvement Program is just a plan. While a great deal of effort and analysis have gone into the development of the CIP, it
will most likely change during the fiscal year. The CIP will continue to be reviewed throughout the year, and recommended plan changes will be presented
to the Board of Commissioners for consideration.
While many of the projects are funded through capital reserve funds, the CIP proposes three projects funded through debt, including the construction of
a middle school, a gymnasium addition at Lillington-Shawtown Elementary School, and the construction of a new animal shelter. The animal shelter and
middle school projects were previously earmarked as future endeavors in the previous year’s CIP.

Harnett County, North Carolina | Recommended Budget 2024-2025 About the Capital Improvements Program (CIP) 207 harnett countyStaff tries to include reasonable escalation of costs in project budgets, but because projects are scheduled in the future actual inflation may prove higher
than planned inflation. Due to the current high demand for construction and the increasing cost of materials, the prior escalation of 5-8% is now too low,
and higher rates are now being applied.
Board of Education
The Board of Education has requested approximately $200 million (in today’s dollars) in new facility requests. The County currently does not have the
resources to pay for these facilities, so these projects are shown as future projects in the CIP.
In April 2023, as part of its FY 2024 budget request, the Board of Education presented a list of facility needs to the Board of Commissioners. The list and
how the CIP addresses these needs are as follows (per the Board of Education document, costs shown below are estimates and do not include escalation
or maintenance-type requests):

harnett countyAdd Future Projects
>Harnett Regional Jetport (HRJ) -- Runway Expansion: Construct a 500-foot extension of the HRJ runway to provide adequate space to meet the demands
of the growing aviation industry in our region.
Assumptions
Generally, construction costs are inflated 10-12% per year. Staff also recommends a 5-10% contingency for most projects.
Other project costs, such as equipment, and operating costs are usually inflated by a factor of 3% per year, unless there is good reason to use another
inflationary factor (which will be noted).
Operating costs are generally inflated 3% per year unless costs are fixed by contract.
Debt Indicators
As the list above demonstrates, there are significant future projects on the horizon, namely school facilities, the construction of a new animal shelter, and
construction of a new housing unit at the County’s detention center, which is projected to need an addition in the next ten years. All these projects will
require that the County issue debt in order to fund them. Harnett County already has a fairly high debt burden (figures below are from the NC Treasurer’s
2022 Analysis of Debt report):
>The debt to appraised value ratio is 1.793%. The average ratio of counties 100,000 to 249,999 population is 0.96%. The highest ratio in the population
group is 1.793%.
>Harnett County’s debt per capita (what each resident would owe if the debt had to be repaid today) is $1,272. The average debt per capita for the
population group is $1,150. The highest debt per capita in this group is $2,250..
The County currently contributes $11 million from the general fund to fund existing and planned future debt. In addition, sales tax restricted for education
is accumulated for debt. The County should be judicious about issuing new debt and work closely with Harnett County Schools to identify top priorities for
funding.
