This project is connected to the agreement between the Town of Lillington and KDP Development that the Town entered into June 14, 2022. The Town’s portion of contribution shall not exceed $400,000. The construction cost of the sewer line extension counts towards the Town’s portion of improvements. Commissioner Langdon made a motion to approve Town of Lillington NC 210 Fire Station Sanitary Sewer Main Extension Contract and Supporting Documents. Commissioner Moss seconded the motion that passed unanimously. Item #4 Administrative Reports Capital Projects Update- Mayor Glenn McFadden recognized Alicia Adams, Administrative Services Director. Ms. Adams went over the following updates; SCIF Grants Downtown Facilities Stewart, Inc. is continuing to work on the construction drawings for Downtown. Staff has received cost estimates from Duke Energy for relocation of utilities. The Town has entered into a contract with Duke Energy including a non-refundable deposit of $90K. The Town is awaiting actual cost for construction for underground utilities. Staff is continuing to work closely with Ducke Energy and Pike. McAdams has incorporated Stewart’s drawings, the Golden Leaf Project will be the first completed in Downtown. There are a few final comments/adjustments but they are minor and will not take long to complete. Duke Energy has completed the drawings and are currently being reviewed. Staff will be meeting with Duke Energy and Pike Engineering in the coming weeks to determine next steps. Pike Engineering is continuing to work on pedestrian and roadway lighting. Pike Engineering is doing both the roadway lighting and the parking lot lighting. Currently, Pike is deployed in the Western part of NC and are unsure of their return date. This will impact the Town’s project. Stormwater Resiliency Funds Staff was notified that the State allocated $3.5 million for Stormwater infrastructure improvements and stream restoration, to provide more efficient stormwater management and flood resiliency. Project components will include stormwater management, replacing undersized culverts, and stabilizing streambanks to improve flood resiliency. Projects: 1. Downtown Stormwater Improvements • Design construction documents have been submitted to the Town and are currently under review. Lillington Board of Commissioners October 14, 2024 Work Session Meeting Minutes • Consultants are coordinating with the railroad RJ Corman to put in an additional crossing. • Environmental consultants are currently studying the proposed location for the pond. 2. Duncan Street • The contractor is making additional repairs on Duncan Street outside of the original scope to fix some other outstanding stormwater issues in the area 3. Railroad Crossing • Staff is currently waiting on 100% construction drawings to present to RJ Corman to determine what portion of the project they are willing to partner with. The pipe under the railroad belongs to RJ Corman and they are responsible for the replacement and maintenance. 4. 13th Street Reservoir • McAdams is recommending upsizing the northernmost culvert crossing on S 13th Street to dual RCBC box culverts to eliminate roadway overtopping for the 10 and 25-Year design storms. Although this recommendation is a slight deviation from the 15’W x 6’H RCBC, which is listed as the preferred design alternative (#2) in the previous Town of Lillington Stormwater Assessment, it will better maintain existing stream geometry and lend to more feasible construction and procurement of materials. • Working towards obtaining 401/404 permitting • Easement exhibits are underway and must be obtained before soliciting for bid • Staff submitted damages from Hurricane Debby to the North Carolina Department of Emergency Management in hopes the project will be covered under Hurricane Debby damages, but the state decided to not pursue a major disaster declaration. ***During Hurricane Debby Golden Leaf Application Stormwater Harnett Street Project Description: The proposed storm drainage improvements would include removal and replacement of existing storm drainage pipe, ranging from 15” RCP to 30” RCP, and removal and replacement of storm drainage structures, including catch basins, drop-inlets, storm drainage manholes, and storm drainage headwalls. The proposed storm drainage infrastructure will effectively capture storm runoff, convey stormwater efficiently inside public right-of-way, and increase the level of service of the storm drainage system. In addition, private storm drainage infrastructure would be relocated to the Town Right-of-Way to allow for easier access for future maintenance and inspections. The probable cost of this project is $1.3 million, the Town has agreed to contribute $250,000 to the project. The Golden Leaf Grant Agreement was approved in June. A project ordinance confirming the Town’s financial contribution was approved at the August Regular Meeting. Lillington Board of Commissioners October 14, 2024 Work Session Meeting Minutes Staff is working closely with McAdams to get the project moving forward. Construction Drawings are mostly completed for this project and has already undergone one review by staff. Fire Station #3 Town staff has finalized the design of Fire Station #3.

Bids were resolicited and the new proposed bid opening date is October 14, 2024 at 2:00pm. Any bids accepted will be opened, the three bid requirement is eliminated once the project is resolicited. LASII Grant Staff submitted the LASII grant application October 2, 2023 requesting $500,000 to develop and implement a new stormwater utility to provide a predictable, equitable and ongoing funding source for its stormwater program. The activities that the Town seeks to accomplish with the funding that the utility will provide include: • Increasing the flood resiliency of the transportation system in and through the Town; • Funding stormwater Capital Improvement Projects (CIPs) to address stormwater quantity and quality issues; • Handling critical maintenance needs and operations; and • Meeting planning and implementation needs.

(3)Because of their scale and duration, such projects often require carefulcoordination of public capital facilities planning, financing, and constructionschedules and phasing of the private development.(4)Such projects involve substantial commitments of private capital, whichdevelopers are usually unwilling to risk without sufficient assurances that development standards will remain stable through the extended period of thedevelopment.(5)Such developments often permit communities and developers to experimentwith different or nontraditional types of development concepts and standards,while still managing impacts on the surrounding areas. (6)To better structure and manage development approvals for such developmentsand ensure their proper integration into local capital facilities programs, localgovernments need flexibility to negotiate such developments.(b)Local governments may enter into development agreements with developers, subjectto the procedures of this Article. In entering into such agreements, a local government may not exercise any authority or make any commitment not authorized by general or local act and may not impose any tax or fee not authorized by otherwise applicable law.
