Board Meeting
Agenda Item
MEETING DATE: November 18, 2024
TO: HARNETT COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
SUBJECT: Health requests additional Onsite Wastewater Registered Environmental
Health Specialist position
REQUESTED BY: Ainsley Johnson, Health Director
REQUEST:
Harnett County Health Department would like to request the addition of a new
position, an Onsite Wastewater Registered Environmental Health Specialist.
The increasing demand for Onsite Wastewater (OSWW) services in Harnett County,
reflects the tremendous growth in the region. The number of permit applications
received has increased at a steady rate of 10% every year. Ten years ago, during fiscal
year 13-14, we received 800 permit requests. In comparison, we received a total of
1,442 permit requests for the fiscal year 23-24. A recent state work study emphasized
the necessity for a team of 10 personnel solely focused on the OSWW section for
Harnett County, however we currently operate with only 3 OSWW staff members.
The current time frame for addressing permit requests and performing an initial site
visit is 10-14 business days. Our goal, which can only be achieved with additional staff,
is to address every request within 5-7 business days. Recent changes in general statues
now allow private inspectors to issue permits which have the potential to greatly impact
our services. With the increase in turnaround time, citizens and builders may choose to
have the permits issued by private inspectors, resulting in the loss of$ 750 per permit
for the county.
To employ a new Environmental Health Specialist (minimum salary of $58,033) with a
start date of 1/16/25, the following costs would be incurred this fiscal year:
Calculated Salary 26,599.00
State Retirement 3,629.00
401K 532.00
FICA 2,035.00
Medical 5,291.00
Dental 176.00
Life 35.00
Employee Clinic 83.00
Unemployment 34.00
OPEB 55.00
Workers Comp 14.00
Total Cost: $ 38,483.00
For a full year, the total cost of salary/benefits: $ 84,000

10Harnett County Transit Study
Summary of Service Area and Demand
HARTS existing service is at capacity
and there is demand for other types
of transit services with more
connectivity, flexibility, and increased
service times.
Existing travel patterns strongest
between Lillington and Angier. Existing
HARTS ridership strongest near Lillington
and between Lillington and Coats.
Stakeholders recognized the need for
updated infrastructure and increased
land-use density in order for transit to
be useful.
Most respondents said they would use
transit for shopping, recreational, and
medical trips with a slightly less
emphasis on work/school trips.
56% of survey respondents were very
interested and somewhat interested
in using transit.
Support from public and stakeholders to
for more enhanced local services and
connecting to areas locally.

STAFF REPORT Page 2 of 10
Site Description: The property is a 98-acre tract of land currently used for agricultural activities and a solar energy
facility. It has direct access to US HWY 401, and a 100-foot railway right-of-way bounds the property on the
eastern side.
Background: The property is currently split zoned with a +/- 19-acre portion of the property located in the RA-20R
zoning district, and a +/- 79 acre portion of the property zoned Industrial. This zoning request will include the areas
of the property outside of the solar energy facility, which will remain zoned Industrial.
The property is one of three contiguous properties that the applicant has petitioned Planning Services to rezone
from Industrial to RA-20R. The applicant’s two other properties involved in the rezoning petition are on a separate
application.
This area is beginning to change from industrial to a mixed-use environment that is becoming increasingly
residential, particularly with the recent annexation and rezoning of a property by the town of Lillington from
Harnett County Industrial to residential.
Surrounding Land Uses: Surrounding land uses consist of single-family residences, a manufactured home park,
agricultural activities, vacant land, and forest land.

RA-20R:
The RA-20R Residential/Agricultural District (RA-20R) is
established primarily to support agricultural
and residential development. Inclusive in such higher density
residential developments may consist
of single-family dwellings, multifamily dwellings, and duplexes.
Industrial:
The purpose of this district, Industrial (IND), is to promote
and protect both existing industrial activities and potential
sites which are considered suitable for industrial use, to
prohibit uses of land which would substantially interfere
with the continuation of uses permitted in the district, and
to promote the operation of well-planned and maintained
industrial facilities.

Agricultural/Rural Residential:
Primarily agricultural and forestry uses with some rural residential areas. These areas are located
outside of existing and future sewer service areas and rely on septic systems for wastewater treatment.
They have a limited road network and in some cases lie within High Quality Watershed or Water Supply
Watershed areas. The lack of utility and transportation infrastructure, the established low density
development pattern and ongoing agricultural activities in these areas contribute to their rural character.
This character can be enhanced by encouraging only low intensity uses, single family residential up to
one unit per acre and context sensitive rural design.

Evaluation
Yes No A. The proposal will place all property similarly situated in the area in the same category,
or in appropriate complementary categories.
The subject property is a split zoned property, and approximately 19 acres of the property is
zoned RA-20R, the requested zoning designation. The property is also contiguous to properties
zoned RA-20R. The request would not require an evaluation for reasonableness as a small-
scale rezoning.
Yes No B. There is a convincing demonstration that all uses permitted under the proposed district
classification would be in the general public interest and not merely in the interest of the
individual or small group.
There is a convincing demonstration that all uses permitted under the proposed district would
be in the interest of the public and not merely in the interest of the individual group. A zoning
change to the RA-20R zoning district would allow for residential uses of the property, which is
more compatible with the surrounding land uses than the uses permitted in the current zoning
district.
Yes No C. There is a convincing demonstration that all uses permitted under the proposed district
classification would be appropriate in the area included in the proposed change. (When a
new district designation is assigned, any use permitted in the district is allowable, so long
as it meets district requirements, and not merely uses which applicants state they intend
to make of the property involved.)
There is a convincing demonstration that all uses permitted in the proposed district
classification would be appropriate in the area included in the proposed change. The uses
permitted in the RA-20R zoning district are more appropriate than the more intense uses
permitted in the current zoning designation.
Yes No D. There is a convincing demonstration that the character of the neighborhood will not be
materially and adversely affected by any use permitted in the proposed change.
There is a convincing demonstration that the character of the neighborhood will not be
materially and adversely affected by the uses permitted in the requested zoning district.
Use of the property for residential purposes is more compatible with the surrounding land uses
and poses a smaller risk of materially or adversely affecting the neighborhood than the uses
permitted in the current zoning designation.
Yes No E. The proposed change is in accordance with the comprehensive plan and sound
planning practices.
The request to change the zoning from the Industrial zoning designation to the RA-20R is in
accordance with the comprehensive land use and sound planning practices. The underlying
land use of the property is Agricultural/Rural Residential, a land use designation which
primarily supports agriculture, forestry, and low-density residential uses.
HCBOC 111224 ws Pg. 53
STAFF REPORT Page 9 of 10
Suggested Statement-of-Consistency (Staff concludes that…)
As stated in the evaluation, the requested rezoning to RA-20R is reasonable. The requested zoning district is more
compatible with the surrounding land uses and the future land use designation. It is recommended that this
rezoning request be APPROVED.
Additional Information:
This application was tabled from the October 7th meeting until the November 4th meeting so that the board could
consider the request with a related rezoning application. At the Planning Board meeting on November 4, 2024, the
board voted unanimously (4-0) to recommend approval of the proposed rezoning due to compatibility with the
underlying land use classification, Agriculture/ Rural Residential.
There was no one present to speak in opposition.

STAFF REPORT Page 2 of 10
Site Description: The rezoning request is for two properties described below:
Property PIN# 0558-99-8986.000 is a +/-50 acre property used for agricultural purposes. The property is
landlocked and accessed by a small farm road from the property to the west. The property is bound by the railway
tract on the western property line.
Property PIN# 0558-97-3688.000 is a +/-28.11 acre property used for agricultural purposes. The property’s eastern
property line is bound by the railway tract.
Background: The properties represent two of three properties that the applicant has petitioned Planning Services
to rezone from Industrial to RA-20R. The third property involved in the rezoning petition (shown below) is on a
separate application due to the applicant’s error. Additionally, due to the condition of the farm road, staff was
unable to access the property east of the railway for site photos.

The following is a summary list of potential uses. For all
applicable uses for each Zoning district please refer to
the UDO’s Table of Uses.
RA-20R:
The RA-20R Residential/Agricultural District (RA-20R) is
established primarily to support agricultural
and residential development. Inclusive in such higher density
residential developments may consist
of single-family dwellings, multifamily dwellings, and duplexes.
Industrial:
The purpose of this district, Industrial (IND), is to promote
and protect both existing industrial activities and potential
sites which are considered suitable for industrial use, to
prohibit uses of land which would substantially interfere
with the continuation of uses permitted in the district, and
to promote the operation of well-planned and maintained
industrial facilities.

The above is a summary list of potential uses. For all
applicable uses for each Zoning district, please
refer to the UDO’s Table of Uses.
Agricultural/Rural Residential:
Primarily agricultural and forestry uses with some rural residential areas. These areas are located
outside of existing and future sewer service areas and rely on septic systems for wastewater treatment.
They have a limited road network and in some cases lie within High Quality Watershed or Water Supply
Watershed areas. The lack of utility and transportation infrastructure, the established low density
development pattern and ongoing agricultural activities in these areas contribute to their rural character.
This character can be enhanced by encouraging only low intensity uses, single family residential up to
one unit per acre and context sensitive rural design.

Evaluation Property PIN 0558-99-8986.000
Yes No A. The proposal will place all property similarly situated in the area in the same category,
or in appropriate complementary categories.
The proposal will not place all property similarly situated in the area in the same category, or in
appropriate complementary categories. The railway serves as a physical division between
existing and planned residential development along US 401 and an area designated for
industrial development. A pocket of residential development would be intrusive within the
otherwise Industrial zoned area and may inhibit future industrial development.
Yes No B. There is a convincing demonstration that all uses permitted under the proposed district
classification would be in the general public interest and not merely in the interest of the
individual or small group.
There is not a convincing demonstration that all uses permitted under the proposed district
classification would be in the general public interest and not merely in the interest of the
individual or small group.
The proposed rezoning of the parcel east of the railway to RA-20R could introduce residential
uses in an area that the county has designated for industrial development. The intensity of the
uses permitted in the surrounding Industrial district is incompatible with residential land uses.
It is not in the public’s interest to allow for residential uses to occur within this area designated
for industrial development or with the access issues posed by the railway.
Yes No C. There is a convincing demonstration that all uses permitted under the proposed district
classification would be appropriate in the area included in the proposed change. (When a
new district designation is assigned, any use permitted in the district is allowable, so long
as it meets district requirements, and not merely uses which applicants state they intend
to make of the property involved.)
There is not a convincing demonstration that all uses permitted in the proposed district
classification would be appropriate in the area included in the proposed change. Residential
uses on the property located east of the railway would not be appropriate due the surrounding
Industrial zoning district and access issues posed by the railway.
HCBOC 111224 ws Pg. 64
STAFF REPORT Page 7 of 10
Yes No D. There is a convincing demonstration that the character of the neighborhood will not be
materially and adversely affected by any use permitted in the proposed change.
There is not a convincing demonstration that the character of the neighborhood will not be
materially and adversely affected by the uses permitted in the requested zoning district.
Use of the property for residential purposes would be incompatible with the uses permitted in
the surrounding Industrial zoning district. Further, a change of zoning to the RA-20R would
adversely affect the character of the neighborhood by reducing the potential for industrial
development and economic growth.
Yes
No E. The proposed change is in accordance with the comprehensive plan and sound
planning practices.
While the proposed zoning change to RA-20R is compatible with the underlying land use, the
proposed zoning change would result in loss of finite land designated for industrial use, which
is essential for supporting economic development and job creation. A reduction in available
industrial land conflicts with the following Land Use and Economic Development policy
outlined in the comprehensive land use plan:
Policy LU-1.2 Identify prime locations for industrial and distribution operations and protect
these locations from incompatible development.
Suggested Statement-of-Consistency (Staff concludes that…)
As stated in the evaluation, the requested rezoning to RA-20R is unreasonable. The requested zoning is
incompatible with the uses permitted in the surrounding zoning district and conflicts with Policy LU-1.2 from the
comprehensive land use plan. It is recommended that this rezoning request be DENIED.
Evaluation Property PIN 0558-97-3688.000
Yes No A. The proposal will place all property similarly situated in the area in the same category,
or in appropriate complementary categories.
The subject property is contiguous to properties zoned RA-20R. The request would not require
an evaluation for reasonableness as a small-scale rezoning.
HCBOC 111224 ws Pg. 65
STAFF REPORT Page 8 of 10
Yes No B. There is a convincing demonstration that all uses permitted under the proposed district
classification would be in the general public interest and not merely in the interest of the
individual or small group.
There is a convincing demonstration that all uses permitted under the proposed district would
be in the interest of the public and not merely in the interest of the individual group. A zoning
change to the RA-20R zoning district would allow for residential use of the property, which is
more compatible with the surrounding land uses than the uses permitted in the current zoning
district.
Yes No C. There is a convincing demonstration that all uses permitted under the proposed district
classification would be appropriate in the area included in the proposed change. (When a
new district designation is assigned, any use permitted in the district is allowable, so long
as it meets district requirements, and not merely uses which applicants state they intend
to make of the property involved.)
There is a convincing demonstration that all uses permitted in the proposed district
classification would be appropriate in the area included in the proposed change. The uses
permitted in the RA-20R zoning district are more appropriate than the more intensive uses
permitted in the current zoning designation.
Yes No D. There is a convincing demonstration that the character of the neighborhood will not be
materially and adversely affected by any use permitted in the proposed change.
There is a convincing demonstration that the character of the neighborhood will not be
materially and adversely affected by the uses permitted in the requested zoning district.
Use of the property for residential purposes is more compatible with the surrounding land uses
and poses a smaller risk of materially or adversely affecting the neighborhood than the uses
permitted in the current zoning designation.
Yes
No E. The proposed change is in accordance with the comprehensive plan and sound
planning practices.
The request to change the zoning from the Industrial zoning designation to the RA-20R is in
accordance with the comprehensive land use and sound planning practices. The underlying
land use of the property is Agricultural/Rural Residential, a land use designation which
primarily supports agriculture, forestry, and low-density residential uses.
Suggested Statement-of-Consistency (Staff concludes that…)
As stated in the evaluation, the requested rezoning to RA-20R is reasonable. The requested zoning is more
compatible with the surrounding land uses and the underlying future land use, Agricultural/Rural Residential. It is
recommended that this rezoning request be APPROVED.

Evaluation
Yes No A. The proposal will place all property similarly situated in the area in the same category,
or in appropriate complementary categories.
The subject properties are contiguous to a property zoned Commercial. The proposed rezoning
will not require an evaluation for reasonableness.
Yes No B. There is a convincing demonstration that all uses permitted under the proposed district
classification would be in the general public interest and not merely in the interest of the
individual or small group.
There is a convincing demonstration that all uses permitted under the proposed district would
be in the interest of the public and not merely in the interest of the individual group. A zoning
change from the RA-20M to the Commercial zoning district creates the potential for
commercial development of the northern parcel, which could bring needed services to the
community and present new economic development opportunities.
Yes No C. There is a convincing demonstration that all uses permitted under the proposed district
classification would be appropriate in the area included in the proposed change. (When a
new district designation is assigned, any use permitted in the district is allowable, so long
as it meets district requirements, and not merely uses which applicants state they intend
to make of the property involved.)
There is a convincing demonstration that all uses permitted in the proposed district
classification would be appropriate in the area included in the proposed change. The uses
permitted in the Commercial zoning district are compatible with the nearby non-residential
land uses.
Yes No D. There is a convincing demonstration that the character of the neighborhood will not be
materially and adversely affected by any use permitted in the proposed change.
There is a convincing demonstration that the character of the neighborhood will not be
materially and adversely affected by the uses permitted in the requested zoning district. The
uses permitted in the Commercial zoning district are compatible with the nearby non-
residential land uses. Further, the neighborhood may experience benefits from future
commercial development such as an increase in employment opportunities and local
investment.
Yes No E. The proposed change is in accordance with the comprehensive plan and sound
planning practices.
The requested zoning district is not compatible with the Medium Density Residential land use
classification; however, Planning Services is currently updating the comprehensive land use
plan and is recommending a change to the future land use classification that will support the
current non-residential activity in the area and encourage further commercial development.

Additional Information:
Planning Board
At the Planning Board meeting on November 4, 2024, the board voted 4-0 to recommend approval of the proposed
rezoning from the RA-20M to Commercial zoning district. The board found that the requested rezoning would be
compatible with the surrounding land uses in the area.
There was no one present to speak in opposition.
Regional Land Use Advisory Committee (RLUAC)
The Regional Land Use Committee (RLUAC) Land Use Committee reviewed the application and determined that
the property is identified as Important to Protect in the Fort Liberty Compatible Use Rating System due to its
location beneath a low-level military aviation corridor. The rezoning of the subject property from the current
residential / agricultural district to the proposed commercial district will generally increase the compatibility of the
site with Fort Liberty’s military training and operational missions. The commercial district’s exclusion of residential
uses will increase the likelihood that the property is developed and used for a nonresidential purpose that is more
compatible with noise levels generated by low-level military aircraft overflight. Therefore, RLUAC has no objection
to the proposed zoning map amendment.

Statement of Work
Services to Adults, Dislocated Workers, Youth
In keeping with the provisions of this Contractual Agreement and the Mid-Carolina Workforce
Development Board’s Grant Agreement, the SUBRECIPIENT, County of Harnett, has agreed to provide
services to Adults, Dislocated Workers, Youth, and Employers throughout the Mid-Carolina Workforce
Development Board Integrated NCWorks Career Center in Harnett County.
This contract agreement covers the period of July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025.
Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA)
The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) of 2014 supersedes the Workforce Investment
Act (WIA) of 1998 and amends the Adult Education and Family Literacy Act, the Wagner-Peyser Act, and
the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) will help job seekers and workers access
employment, education, training, and support services through the partnership between Title I
(Adult/Dislocated Worker/Youth), Title II (Adult Education and Family Literacy), Title III (Wagner-
Peyser), and Title IV (Vocational Rehabilitation) to succeed in the labor market and match employers with
skilled workers they need to compete in the global economy.
Objectives Overview
The SUBRECIPIENT will provide the WIOA-funded Title I and III services for Adults, Dislocated
Workers, and Youth in Harnett County.
The SUBRECIPIENT will provide eligible WIOA Title I Adult, Dislocated Worker, and Youth with
integrated career and training services as defined under WIOA Section 131 and 134 and in accordance with
the United States Department of Labor (USDOL) and State guidelines and requirements.
The SUBRECIPIENT will provide labor marker information and an inventory of the talent pool matching
the skills, experience, and capabilities of the job seeker with the recruiting profile of employers. The
SUBRECIPIENT will coordinate with the Mid-Carolina Workforce Development Board’s (MCWDB)
Business Services and the staff of the area’s NCWorks Career Centers to provide targeted services to
employers.
Assistance will be provided to employers with specialized recruitment events, screening, pre-interviewing,
testing, and candidate matching. Work-based learning opportunities, to include On-the-Job Training (OJT)
and work experience (WEX), will be offered to employers as services of the integrated service delivery
system product box. The SUBRECIPIENT will also gather and assess employer feedback concerning
services provided, job orders, talent pool matching, and comments and suggestions from employers on
improvement.
Alignment of WIOA Title I and Title III Services
As the Mid-Carolina Workforce Development Board continues to develop and refine its NCWorks system,
policies and procedures, or as regulatory changes occur, the Mid-Carolina WDB may need to modify the
HCBOC 111224 ws Pg. 99
Attachment A
Amendment I
Statement of Work (SOW), program design, or the delivery of services. Should a request for a change in
the SOW, program design or service occur, staff of the Mid-Carolina WDB must be notified so that they
may follow up accordingly to ensure the changes comply and are consistent with Board policies/procedures
and final WIOA regulatory requirements.
The Mid-Carolina WDB SOW provides instruction and guidance on the operation and procedures of
WIOA, NCWorks Online, and NCWorks Career Center operation and management for delivery of services
to all customers, including Adult, Dislocated Workers, and Youth job/career seekers and Employer
Services.
The SUBRECIPIENT and the Mid-Carolina WDB shall ensure that all WIOA-funded staff and all Center
staff receive a copy of the SOW. SUBRECIPIENT staff and Center staff must adhere to the procedures and
operations outlined in the SOW and any additional Mid-Carolina WDB Policy Statements to provide
excellent services to all customers that access the Mid-Carolina NCWorks Career Centers. The Mid-
Carolina WDB has the authority to add additional policies and procedures to NC Department of Commerce,
Division of Workforce Solutions (NCWorks Commission) Policy Statements, Guidance, Procedures, and
US DOL Training and Employment Guidance Letters (TEGLs) and US DOL Training and Employment
Notices (TENs).
Separate addendums, additions, corrections, or deletions may be added to the SOW as necessary and as
deemed appropriate by the Mid-Carolina WDB.
Integrated Service Delivery (ISD) – Providing Services of Excellence to All Customers
The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) – Title I Adult, Dislocated Worker, and Youth
services and the Title III Wagner-Peyser Employment Services (WP)- are the operational backbone of the
NCWorks Career Centers. These programs will continue to be the focus of customer-focused, skill-based,
integrated service strategy and delivery.
The ISD system is intended to assist customers with access to services needed to get back to work and help
businesses connect with qualified workers. These services are to be fulfilled by integrated, cross-trained,
professional staff to include both Wagner-Peyser (Title III) and WIOA (Title I) NCWorks Career Center
staff.
NCWorks Online will be the source system used for tracking all activities for the entire Career Center.
The SUBRECIPIENT will track services to all customers (including employers/business) in NCWorks
Online using the applicable service activity codes. If it is not in NCWorks Online, then the action
and/or activity did not occur and will not be included in any numbers for reporting purposes, to
include performance goals. The most up-to-date service activity code listing can be found in NCWorks
Online under “Staff Online Resources.”
All participants determined to need additional assistance beyond basic core and staff-assisted core
services will have an Individual Employability Plan (IEP)/Individual Service Strategy (ISS) and must be
determined eligible according to WIOA Federal Regulations, with applicable supporting documentation.
The SUBRECIPIENT will ensure that all required documentation is completed and scanned with
appropriate redaction into the customer’s NCWorks profile, along with the appropriate activity codes and
case notes prior to approving training services. The SUBRECIPIENT is expected to meet or exceed data
validation requirements.
For participants deemed eligible and suitable, training is defined as any activity that leads to a certificate of
completion, a certification, or a college degree, that results in maximizing participants' chances for
obtaining and maintaining full-time employment. Training may occur within the Career Center, on
NCWorks Online, by attending coursework with an approved eligible training provider, and/or through
work-based learning opportunities (including job shadowing, career exploration, paid/unpaid work
HCBOC 111224 ws Pg. 100
Attachment A
Amendment I
experience, apprenticeship, and On-the-Job Training). These activities will be governed by the Mid-
Carolina Workforce Development Board Policies and policies/guidance issued by the North Carolina
Division of Workforce Solutions. Any exceptions to the cap on funds must be approved in writing,
in advance, by the Workforce Director. Successful completion of those enrolled in a training and/or
work-based learning activity, as well as subsequent obtainment/maintenance of unsubsidized
employment, preferably as a result of sponsored training, will be monitored and considered as a
measure of the SUBRECIPIENT’s performance
The SUBRECIPIENT will ensure that all participants enrolled beyond basic services will receive follow-
up services for one year after exit from the WIOA program. The follow-up services provided will be
documented in the case notes within the NCWorks Online System as well as an approved report that
captures like information. All SUBRECIPIENT reports must be approved by the Mid-Carolina Regional
Council Workforce Staff prior to use. Case notes will be retained on all participants, following the

collectively is serving employers.
All NCWorks Career Center Employer/Business Services staff should focus on the primary indicators
identified by NC Department of Commerce to be critical workforce needs of the business community and
should be familiar with and enter all applicable Employer Service Codes when working with employer
customers.

Board Meeting
Agenda Item
MEETING DATE: November 18, 2024
TO: HARNETT COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
SUBJECT: Request to Fund and Install a Blinking Warning Light at Northwest Harnett
Fire Station #3
REQUESTED BY: Brent Trout, County Manager
REQUEST:
The Northwest Harnett Fire Department is requesting assistance from Harnett County
to purchase and install a blinking warning light at the location of their new fire station
on Highway 401 in northern Harnett County.
As requested, I am offering two options:
The project entails the installation of blinking lights on each side of the highway that
will light up when an emergency response vehicle leaves the building to enter the
highway to respond to an emergency response call. The warning signal would increase
the safety for the department personnel as they enter the roadway to respond to the
call.
The estimated cost for the project is between $75,000 and $100,000. This cost includes
the engineering, equipment and installation of the signals. Two different firms in our
area are recognized by NCDOT to design work for this type of project. (DRMP and
Kimley-Horn). Fulcher Electric is a contractor in our area that can do this type of
work once the design is complete.
There are two ways that have been identified to fund this project with Harnett County
funds:
Budget the payment of funds to the NW Harnett Fire District as an allocation under the
Governing Body budget (1104110 547090) in the General Fund. This action would
require an appropriation from Fund Balance
Or
Budget the payment of funds to the NW Harnett Fire District in the Special Districts
Special Revenue Fund (Fund 211). The Special Revenue Fund exists specifically for the
collection and payment of property and sales tax for the fire districts plus the one
special school district. This would keep any payment to the fire districts in the same
fund. This action would require an appropriation from Fund Balance to fund an
interfund transfer from the General Fund to the Special District Fund.

\\lecfile\department\Admin\Clerk to the Board docs\AGENDAS\2024\111224 ws\14.1 NW Harnett Fire Station Warning

The Board of Commissioners may want to consider that instead of just paying out the
funds (without the luxury of an estimate) that the Board appropriate funding, require
the fire district to initiate and oversee the project and then submit copies of the invoices
to the County. We could then remit the funds to the fire district for further payment to
the contractor/engineer. The other option is to receive an estimated cost and provide
the funding to the department to hire an engineer and contractor to do the project.
