Zane Campbell, Veterans Treatment Court Director, shared information with the Board of
Commissioners regarding the sustainability of Veterans Treatment Court. Since 2013, we've
been operating under federal grants. During that time, there were very few veterans' courts
across the nation. Currently there are 13 veterans' courts in North Carolina alone. The federal
grants are not designed for sustainability. Mr. Campbell provided costs associated with
incarnation, number of active veterans in our court, and statistics related to recidivism. Mr.
Campbell shared we have had 132 veterans graduate from the program and had 13 to reoffend.
Currently, we are operating on about $475,000. My plan is we have 4 main counties that we
serve, Harnett being the flagship, Johnston, Lee and Wake and plan to ask each county to give
$150,000 per year to the Veterans Treatment Court. This will ensure stability financially and will
also save lives. Chairman Nicol stated we really appreciate everything you guys do over there;
you really are making a difference in lives. Chairman Nicol stated I think it is a great idea
partnering with those other counties; I think it is phenomenal and appreciate all that you guys are
doing. Commissioner Matthews asked where do you stand right now financially. Mr. Campbell
stated currently we are fully funded until October 2026. Consensus of the Board was to support
the Veterans Treatment Court's request in the new budget year.

Harnett County Finance l
Quarterly Financial Review
for quarter ended, September 30, 2025
Today's presentation will focus on the first three months of the new fiscal year. This presentation
also includes preliminary financial information for FYE 2025 but will be updated upon completion of
the county's annual audit.
As requested, a "scaled -down" financial review is being presented today and will focus on the
General Fund and two Enterprise Funds, Harnett Regional Water and Solid Waste. The full analysis
of all funds to include cash balances and sales tax activity, will be available after today's
presentation, on the County's website and can be accessed on the Finance Department's web page.
FISCAL YEAR ENDED 2025:
General Fund:
Ad Valorem tax collections exceeded budget by $2,918,835 and exceeded the collection for FYE
2024 by 7%, indicating continued growth in the County.
The collection of sales tax exceeded projections by 8% and were ahead of FY 2024 by 7%. The
County's sales tax collections remain strong.
Overall, revenues for the General Fund remained strong and exceeded the prior year; however,
despite the increase, current year revenues were not sufficient to cover expenditures and the
County will use approximately $4,000,852 of fund balance.
Expenditures for the fiscal year totaled 5176,733,322, an increase of $18,840,528 over the prior
year. As the county continues to experience significant growth, the demand for services
continues to drive staffing increases as well as other related expenses. At the function level, the
largest increase can be attributed to the Transportation Department at 57% which was due to
the purchase of transportation vehicles in the amount of $889,640 utilizing State grant funds.
The second highest was for Education in the amount of $38,083,704 or 27% over the prior year
as the County continued its efforts to meet the needs of the district as well as the loss of low
wealth funding.
Harnett Regional Water:
Revenues for the fiscal year in the amount of $84,181,152 were ahead of the prior year and
exceeded expenditures by $20.54m. This significant increase was due to the required accounting
treatment of recording of fixed asset acquisitions (water and sewer lines) in the amount of
$31,947,378.
Expenditures for the fiscal year in the amount of $63,636,238 increased 22% compared to the
prior year. The increase included the cost to treat additional flow for water and sewer services,
capital outlay and personnel expenses.
U:\A FILING CABINET\FYE 2026\Reports to the Board\Quarterly Financial Review
Solid Waste:
Revenues for the fiscal year in the amount of $10,884,929 represented an increase of 21% over
the prior year. The increase in expenditures were due mainly for salary and benefit changes as
well as an increase in the contracted services for waste handling.
CURRENT FISCAL YEAR ENDED 2026:
General Fund
Revenues reported through September 30, 2025 totaled $17,639,935, a slight decrease from the
same period last year of $18,864,578. Although tax collections and sales tax revenue increased,
the overall reduction was due to a decline in interest income, resulting from falling interest rates
and reduced cash reserves available to invest.
Expenditures for the first quarter totaled $48,367,110; an increase over the same quarter last
year of 44%. The two largest drivers of this increase represent the transfer of funds from the
General Fund to the Debt Service Fund ($11,000,000) and the increase in expense funding for
education. The current year budget is based upon the appropriation of reserves as detailed in
the Harnett County Fiscal Year 2026 Budget Ordinance, Section 16. General Statute 159-36
directs units of local government to levy taxes or allocate revenue in an amount sufficient to
meet debt due during the budget year. Debt activity is accounted for in a separate fund and the
General Fund transfers an appropriation each year to insure compliance with the repayment of
debt.
Harnett Regional Water
Revenues reported through September 30, 2025 totaled $9,838,624, a decrease from the same
period last year of $15,822,629. This significant increase was due to the required accounting
treatment of recording of fixed asset acquisitions (water and sewer lines) in the amount of
$31,947,378.
The majority of the revenues for Harnett Regional Water are from user fees.
The operating revenue derived from user fees continues to remain strong for Harnett Regional
Water. The decrease from prior year activity noted above was due to a one-time payment
received in the prior year.
Operating expenditures are slightly above the prior year but remain stable.
Harnett Regional Water, Overall - The financial position of the Solid Waste Fund continues to
remain positive in response to the continued growth of the county and demand for waer and
sewer services.
Solid Waste
Revenues reported through September 30, 2025 totaled $1,496,789, a decrease from the same
period last year of $1,644,818.
The main revenue source for Solid Waste is from Enterprise Charges (user fees) and Facility Fees
(solid waste tax).
U:\A FILING CABINET\FYE 2026\Reports to the Board\Quarterly Financial Review
The operating revenue derived from charges and facility fees continues to remain strong for
Solid Waste.
Operating expenditures are slightly higher than the prior year but remain stable.
Solid Waste, Overall - The financial position of the Solid Waste Fund continues to remain
positive in response to the continued growth of the county and demand for water and sewer
services, solid waste services.

Harnett County, North Carolina I Approved Budget 2025-2026 Budget Ordinance 31
Section 16: Compliance with Reserve Policy
The proposed budget for fiscal year 2026 contains an appropriation of $20,210,244 from fund balance. This appropriation includes funding to the Harnett
County Board of Education that does not meet the policy definition of "one-time" appropriation. The Board of Commissioners are aware that this action
may reduce the county's unassigned targeted fund balance below 20% as defined in the Administrative & Financial Policy.
During the development of the 2025 budget, the County was notified by the State that it would lose a significant portion of low wealth funding for that
fiscal year due to calculations using data set by the 2024 fiscal year. The low wealth funding is based upon a complex calculation of multiple historical data
points to include the averages of local tax rates, per pupil funding, per capita income, and weighted sales assessment ratio.
Due to the historic increase in values between revaluation periods, the County sought to adjust its ad valorem tax rate as close to revenue neutral as was
needed to maintain current operations. Despite efforts to adjust the property tax rate near revenue -neutral levels, a small difference of two cents would
have preserved the county's eligibility for full Low Wealth funding. Harnett County, among a few other counties, was adversely affected through no fault of
its own and we immediately sought legislative relief. While awaiting a determination, the County was prepared to utilize fund balance to meet the current
potential funding shortfall in the 2025 year.
While preparing this budget, we have learned that more counties have since been affected, and we are hopeful that a restructuring of the low wealth formula
is forthcoming. A county -wide revaluation is underway to be effective for the 2027 budget year, and it is anticipated that the county -wide increase in
property value may exceed 30%. The Harnett County Board of Commissioners feel that to adjust the tax rate prior to a revaluation year will be premature
and have chosen to utilize fund balance to bridge the gap between the two years. The Board understands that while this use of fund balance for'fiscal years
2025 and 2026 does not meet the definition in our policy, it is a justified temporary and strategic measure to address the funding request of the Harnett
County Board of Education.
The Board of Commissioners is committed to addressing the noteworthy revenue shortfall and restoring reserves during the 2027 revaluation budget year
while balancing fiscal responsibility and our commitment to education.
Section 17: Document Availability
Copies of this Budget Ordinance shall be furnished to the Tax Administrator, Budget Officer, Clerk to the Board of Commissioners and to the Finance Officer
to be kept on file by them for their direction in the disbursement of funds and collection of taxes and fees.
Adopted this, the 16th day of June, 2025.
