The Amendment Section 1.2 (see attached) increases the SHP's base contract price to $ 629,159.76 to account an annual increase in the amount of compensation to SHP and to account for the increases Correctional Behavioral Health Services. The previous contact for Correctional Behavioral Health Services provided one on-site visit per week. Because of the increase in the number of inmates with Behavioral issues, we need to increase to two on-site visits per week. FINANCE OFFICER’S RECOMMENDATION: COUNTY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION: Item 4 HCBOC 091024 ws revised Pg. 4 AMENDMENT #2 TO HEALTH SERVICES AGREEMENT This AMENDMENT #2 to Health Services Agreement dated July 1, 2021, between Harnett County, North Carolina (hereinafter referred to as “County”, and Southern Health Partners, Inc., a Delaware Corporation, (hereinafter referred to as “SHP”), is entered into as of this __ day of ______, 2024. WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, County and SHP desire to amend the Health Services Agreement dated July 1, 2021, between County and SHP. NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and promises hereinafter made, the parties hereto agree as follows: Section 1.2 is hereby amended by inserting 1.2 a. containing the following provisions: 1.2 a. Effective July 1, 2024, the costs of clinical lab procedures (inside and outside the Jail) shall be placed under the outside cost pool accounting to accrue against the annual pool limitation, as more fully described herein in this Section No. 1.2 and in Section No. 1.5. Effective July 1, 2024, the costs of over-the-counter medications shall be placed under the pharmacy line item to accrue against the annual pharmacy cost limitation, as more fully described herein in this Section No 1.2 and in Section No. 1.5. Section 1.5 is hereby amended by inserting 1.5 a. containing the following provisions: 1.5 a. Effective July 1, 2024, the costs of clinical lab procedures (inside and outside the Jail) shall be placed under the outside cost pool accounting to accrue against the annual pool limitation, as more fully described herein in this Section No. 1.5 and in Section No. 1.2. Effective July 1, 2024, the costs of over-the-counter medications shall be placed under the pharmacy line item to accrue against the annual pharmacy cost limitation, as more fully described herein in this Section No 1.5 and in Section No. 1.2. Section 7.1 is hereby amended and replaced in its entirety by the following: 7.1 Base Compensation. County acknowledges that, SHP’s base contract price shall increase effective July 1, 2024, to the twelve-month annualized price of $629,159.76, to account an annual increase in the amount of compensation to SHP and to account for the full amount for the increased Correctional Behavioral Health services, which were implemented effective March 1, 2024, and provided initially at a discounted rate. The twelve-month annualized price of $629,159.76 shall be payable in monthly installments of HCBOC 091024 ws revised Pg. 5 2 $52,429.98 each, during the term of this Agreement. SHP shall bill County approximately thirty days prior to the month in which services are to be rendered. County agrees to pay SHP prior to the tenth day of the month in which services are rendered. Payment by County to SHP shall be made electronically through the Automated Clearing House, or should the County elect not to make electronic payments to SHP, County agrees to pay an additional two percent (2%) per month charge. In the event this Agreement should commence or terminate on a date other than the first or last day of any calendar month, compensation to SHP shall be prorated accordingly for the shortened month. Section 7.2 is hereby amended and replaced in its entirety by the following: 7.2 Increases in Inmate Population. County and SHP agree that the annual base price is calculated based upon an average daily inmate population of up to 250. Effective July 1, 2024, if the average daily inmate population exceeds 250 inmates for any given month, the compensation payable to SHP by County shall be increased by a per diem rate of $1.23 for each inmate over 250. The average daily inmate resident population shall be calculated by adding the population or head count totals taken at a consistent time each day and dividing by the number of counts taken. The excess over an average of 250, if any, shall be multiplied by the per diem rate and by the number of days in the month to arrive at the increase in compensation payable to SHP for that month. In all cases where adjustments become necessary, the invoice adjustment shall be made on the invoice for a subsequent month’s services. For example, if there is an average population for any given month of 255 inmates, resulting in an excess of five (5) inmates, then SHP shall receive additional compensation of five (5) times the per diem rate times the number of days in that month. The resulting amount shall be an addition to the regular base fee and shall be billed on a subsequent monthly invoice. This per diem is intended to cover additional cost in those instances where minor, short-term changes in the inmate population result in the higher utilization of routine supplies and services. However, the per diem is not intended to provide for any additional fixed costs, such as new fixed staffing positions that might prove necessary if the inmate population grows significantly and if the population increase is sustained. In such cases, SHP reserves the right to negotiate for an increase to its staffing complement and its contract price in order to continue to provide services to the increased number of inmates and maintain the quality of care. This would be done with the full knowledge and agreement of the Sheriff and other involved County officials, and following appropriate notification to County.

Additional Information: At the September 3, 2024 Planning Board meeting, the Planning Board voted unanimously (5-0) to recommend approval of the requested rezoning. No one spoke in opposition of the rezoning case. Two residents who also reside on Old NC 87 spoke at the meeting and stated their interest in changing the zoning of their properties from Commercial to the RA-20R. The residents stated that they were unaware their properties were zoned Commercial until recently. The residents stated their displeasure with their zoning designation as they feel it results in higher tax bills and precludes the construction of additional residences on their property. Staff explained that the Planning Services staff contacted the applicant, Mr. Branson, ahead of the scheduled Planning Board meeting to offer a rezoning petition initiated by the county to rezone his property and all other interested parties along Old NC 87. Due to time constraints, the applicant chose to proceed with the rezoning application as submitted. Planning Services intends to work with all interested property owners along Old NC 87 to rezone from Commercial to RA-20R.

HCBOC 091024 ws revised Pg. 51 STAFF REPORT Page 8 of 9 Two residents who also reside on Old NC 87 spoke at the meeting and stated their interest in changing the zoning of their properties from Commercial to the RA-20R. The residents stated that they were unaware their properties were zoned Commercial until recently. The residents stated their displeasure with their zoning designation as they feel it results in higher tax bills and precludes the construction of additional residences on their property. Staff explained that the Planning Services staff contacted the applicant, Mr. Branson, ahead of the scheduled Planning Board meeting to offer a rezoning petition initiated by the county to rezone his property and all other interested parties along Old NC 87. Due to time constraints, the applicant chose to proceed with the rezoning application as submitted. Planning Services intends to work with all interested property owners along Old NC 87 to rezone from Commercial to RA-20R.

Three parcels, making up a 65.63-acre site, was identified at the corner of Arrowhead Road and Highway 301 in Dunn for the new industrial park. Samet Corporation will purchase 14.27-acres of the entire site to construct the first shell building of 162,000 SF. The County will purchase the remaining 51.36 acres for future development with Samet Corporation per a separate agreement. The cost to the County for the purchase of land is $55,000 per acre for a total cost of over $2.8 million, of which the I-95 / I-40 Crossroads of America Economic Development Alliance will cover half the County's investment, in a separate partnership agreement. This industrial park is estimated to yield approximately 800,000 SF of industrial building space and more than $85 million in taxable real estate investment once fully built out. The purchase of this land is a long-term commitment by Harnett County in the economic development of our county. The project will create jobs and tax base in our county that are needed to ensure that we have a vibrant future growth for our citizens.
