AGENDA ITEM #4 CAPITAL PROJECTS UPDATE SCIF Grants Downtown Facilities Stewart, Inc. completed the construction drawings for Downtown and reduced scope for Phase I. The Town has entered into a contract with Duke Energy including a non-refundable deposit of $90K. Duke has submitted their final design for underground utilities. A new easement for the underground utilities will have to be acquired to move forward with construction. There are approximately thirty different property owners. Duke is currently acquiring easements for the project and has provided an estimate of approximately a year to acquire all necessary easements. Staff is hopeful the easement process will be complete Summer of 2027. Pike did relocate some of the design to the right of way to reduce the number of easements that are required for the project. Duke has requested that the Town provide additional survey work for twenty-three parcels. Staff received a quote from Benton Dewar & Associates in the amount of $29,000. This work is vital to the completion of Duke Energy’s final construction plans and easement acquisition. Staff received a conduit plan from Duke Energy/Pike for the streetscape lighting. Staff will now begin meeting with Duke monthly to coordinate all efforts. Staff met with Bond Attorney Bob Jessup, along with Davenport to discuss financial positioning and next steps to establish the Municipal Service District for Downtown. Stormwater Resiliency Funds Staff were 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 • Final construction design is pending site negotiations. • Staff received the final wetland delineation, and it will be incorporated in the survey map • The appraisal has been updated to identify the land to be acquired. • The condemnation letter at the beginning of September and following the thirty day waiting period, the town will post the estimated compensation based on the appraisal with the clerk of court 2. 13th Street Reservoir • The bids were opened during a public bid opening February 26 at 11am • The lowest responsible responsive bidder was FSC II, LLC dba Fred Smith Company with a Base Bid of $1,136,475 • All required documents have been submitted to staff, we held a pre-construction meeting April 17th and issued a Notice to Proceed June 5, 2026 and the project is currently under construction. 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 bids came in $2,903,279 and a Notice of Award was issued July 14, 2026. Staff requested additional funds from Golden Leaf and were notified by Golden Leaf that the Board approved positive deferral for the Town up to $950,000. The max award from the program is $2 million and the Town was already awarded $1,050,000. Staff issued a Notice to Proceed, and a pre-construction meeting was held. Staff visited the businesses on 8th Street to notify property owners that construction will begin soon and provided contact numbers for town staff. Fred Smith has provided the Town with a schedule of work and expect to see erosion control measures in place late September. The project is scheduled to be completed at the end of February. Staff requested a twelve-month extension to complete final construction and all appliable grant requirements, it was approved for a revised end date of December 31, 2026. Once we get into construction and have a better timeline of completion staff will request a final extension to complete the project. Staff is requesting an approval of a temporary laydown yard agreement between the Town and the Fred Smith Company, contingent on approval from the Town attorney. ARPA S.L. 2022-74 Appropriated Projects All documentation was submitted to the State to fund the Hwy 210 sewer line expansion and Southern Regional Sanitary Sewer/Poorhouse Creek installation of new sanitary sewer interceptor and regional pump station. The total allocation was $9,250,000. Staff has received the offer and acceptance letter from the Department of Water Infrastructure. a. South Regional/Poorhouse Creek All line work is completed and tested. The walls have been formed and poured. Pump Station projected startup date is September 2026. The project competition will be in October 2026. The contractor will soon make the connection to the WWTP. S.L. 2023 Appropriated Funds The Town was appropriated $11,062,500 through Session Law in 2023. Administrative cost for the funds is $331,875.00. Available funds remaining are $10,730,625. Additional Proposed projects with remaining funds: 1. Water Tank $4.5 million • Weston & Sampson is the selected firm and we are working to locate and acquire a site • The land is currently under the acquisition process, and a check has been deposited at the Harnett County Clerk’s Office • The consultant provided DWI with revised milestone dates with construction beginning February 2027 • The consultants have provided the Town with a schematic design • The footprints for the site plans are based on coordination with Geotechnologies’ on the bore hole locations. • The County did consent to allowing the Town to connect to their transmission line to supply the new tank • Weston & Sampson is currently working towards 90% plans and staff will review them in the coming weeks 2. WWTP project $3.1 million • Request for funding have been approved by DWI • Project Ordinance has been approved • Staff is currently working with HRW to complete disbursement request for the project. North Harnett WWTP Capacity Upgrade Harnett County has begun the process of submitting reimbursement requests to the Town for the Town’s portion of the WWTP. Substantial completion October 2027. SS4A Grant (Safe Streets and Roads for All) The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) established the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) competitive grant program with $5 billion in appropriated funds over 5 years, 2022- 2026. The SS4A program funds regional, local, and Tribal initiatives through grants to prevent roadway fatalities and serious injuries. Staff applied for an implementation grant May 26th. Implementation Grants are used to implement projects or strategies that are consistent with an existing Action Plan to address a roadway safety problem. Eligible projects and strategies can be infrastructural, behavioral, and/or operational activities. This grant is much like the LAPP grant, the town previously applied for, that required a 20% match to fund the project. Staff submitted the 10th Street bypass project and are hopeful that the Town will receive funding. This would include the 10th and Main Street improvements. Pedestrian Safety Call for Projects/TAP Funding Staff submitted three projects to NCDOT for available funding for Pedestrian Projects. Two out of the three projects are advancing to the next stage of the process to begin preliminary engineering and design. The notification is not a project commitment, and the project statue may change as engineering and design develops. We have spoken with NCDOT and they are hopeful that these projects will come to fruition. • Project one: US 401 S/S Main Street from E Killiegrey Street to James Street at the signalized intersection. Description - US 401 S/S Main Street from E Killiegrey Street to James Street at the signalized intersection. The request is to replace the sidewalk and reduce the width to improve both pedestrian and vehicle movement. The on-street parking doesn’t allow for safe exiting from the vehicles. Reducing the width of the sidewalk allows for more space to safety exit from vehicles and improving the current sidewalk. Along with these improvements adding a signalized pedestrian movement at the intersection of E James Street and US 401 S/S Main Street. There was a fatality at the intersection this year. There are currently sidewalks that have been improved at this intersection, but no pedestrian signals or pedestrian crosswalk markings for safer movement across Main Street. In addition, adding traffic signals such a flashing beacons and signage to reduce speed and pedestrian crossing ahead. • Project two: S 13th Street to 711 W Front Street, along US 421 N Description - Currently there are sidewalks on both sides of the intersection of 13th Street and US 421 N/W Front Street. This is a signalized intersection that does not accommodate pedestrian movement across US 421 N/W Front Street. Star Academy is located on the south side of US 421 N/W Front Street and the Lillington Community Center is on North side. When traffic is approaching the Town of Lillington flashing beacons and signage need to be placed along US 421 N to reduce speed. Traffic must be slowed down before approaching this signalized intersection. Currently, there is no pedestrian movement to get from one side of the street to the other. The sidewalk also ends at 13th Street, preventing safe pedestrian movement to the grocery store located a short distance down US 421 N. There is a need for additional sidewalks and a crosswalk at this intersection. NC Main Street Conference The conference will be in Morganton, March 9-11. This conflicts with the normally scheduled Board meetings. Staff is requesting any interested Board members please let us know as soon as possible so staff can plan accordingly for scheduling. The theme for the 2027 NC Main Street Conference, Main Street: Designed for Connectivity, explores this truth. It reflects a statewide and national movement toward creating downtown districts that nurture human connection, strengthen economic ecosystems, and forge experiences that keep people returning day after day. The accompanying tagline, Built for People, Powered by Connection, reinforces the heart of this work: thriving downtowns exist because they are centered on people, and people thrive when places are designed for connection. This year’s conference invites attendees to explore the full spectrum of connectivity that fuels successful downtowns. Through sessions focused on design, participants will discover how street layouts, storefronts, public art, lighting, and placemaking can be intentionally shaped to guide movement, spark curiosity, and encourage interaction. Economic vitality tracks will unpack how business clustering, purposeful recruitment, upper-floor development, and aligned operating hours work together to create a consistent, compelling marketplace. Promotion-focused sessions will help communities design branding systems, visitor journeys, and campaigns that strengthen the link between people and place. Organizational development topics will offer proven approaches for volunteer engagement, block captain programs, data-driven decision-making, and the internal alignment needed to manage a connected downtown effectively. Attendees will also hear inspiring stories from across the state that demonstrate how connected downtowns grow stronger, more resilient, and more economically vibrant over time. 607 S. 13th Street ● P.O.

Athletics: This past month, Lillington Parks & Recreation officially began our fall sports season, starting with Tackle Football. Our 10U Tackle program reached our goal of 30+ players, while our 13U Tackle program nearly doubled in participation compared to last year. There is a lot of excitement surrounding football this season, and we have a strong group of coaches who are ready to motivate, teach, and inspire our young athletes. We have also seen a noticeable increase in the overall talent and competitiveness of our players. With the continued growth of the program, we are looking forward to seeing significant progress from last season. Soccer has experienced tremendous growth as well, with participation nearly doubling across our leagues. One of our biggest developments this fall was the addition of an 8U Girls Soccer league, allowing us to move away from having only a co-ed option at that age. We believe this will be very beneficial for the development of our young female athletes and will help us continue building a stronger girls soccer program for the future. Our Parks and Recreation Department is experiencing significant growth in youth athletics. This fall, we have nearly 800 children participating across all of our youth sports leagues, which is a tremendous accomplishment for our department and a strong indication of the continued demand for recreational opportunities in our community. To accommodate this growth, we are currently utilizing four different facilities to conduct practices and games throughout the week, with activities taking place Monday through Sunday. Despite utilizing multiple facilities and maximizing available field space, the number of teams and participants is beginning to place limitations on our scheduling capacity. This is, in many ways, a good problem to have. The growth demonstrates that our programs are meeting the needs of local families and that there is a strong demand for youth sports. However, we also need to be proactive in planning for the continued growth of our programs. One of our current limitations is the availability of lighting at the Multipurpose Field and Bradley Field. Because these facilities do not have lights, their use is primarily limited to Saturdays and daylight hours. Installing lighting at these fields would significantly increase our scheduling flexibility and allow us to utilize the facilities during weekday evenings. Town of Lillington | 3 106 West Front Street ● P.O. Box 296 ● Lillington, North Carolina 27546 Phone: (910) 893-2864 ● Fax (910) 893-3607 ● www.lillingtonnc.com Looking ahead over the next 3–5 years, continued growth could create a need for additional recreational space. We will need to evaluate options such as: • Adding additional ball fields and recreational facilities. • Installing lights at existing fields that currently have limited evening availability. • Making improvements to existing facilities to maximize their use. • Developing a long-term facility plan based on projected participation growth. • Evaluating scheduling and registration capacity to ensure we can continue serving local youth. Our primary concern is that if participation continues to increase at the current rate without additional facility capacity, we may eventually reach a point where we are unable to accommodate every child who wants to participate. This could require the department to place caps on registration or turn participants away due to a lack of available fields and practice space. Our goal is to avoid reaching that point. By identifying facility needs now and planning for future improvements, we can continue to provide quality recreational opportunities for our community while keeping pace with the growth of our youth sports programs. The growth we are experiencing is a success, but it also presents an opportunity to plan ahead. Investing in our facilities today will help ensure that our Parks and Recreation Department can continue serving the children and families of our community for years to come. “Submitted by: Caleb Nielsen and Jacob Floyd” $825 $495 $720 $910 $300 $445 $855 $875 $525 $405 $535 664 $23,560.00 8U Soccer 75 $2,715 8U Softball 15 52 23 21 25 15 13 $445 35 $1,325 10U Boys Soccer 32 $630 48 $1,825 13U Tackle 35 $1,185 5U Baseball 8U Baseball Cheerleading 8U Flag Football $1,515 $1,795 $670 $1,160 $1,625 45 47 455 $16,610.00 $820 10U Boys Soccer 13U Tackle 20 23 $800 2 $375 $460 $2,325 $2,120 $550 $65 *FALL REGISTRATION* Fall 2021 Sport 10U Baseball 12U Baseball 10U Boys Soccer Revenue $695 $145 $575 Participation 4 18 20 13U Tackle 10U Tackle 5U Baseball 8U Baseball Cheerleading 8U Tackle 28 $1,610 $745 Sport Participation 12U Baseball Revenue Fall 2019 10U Baseball $46014 10U Softball 8U Softball 10U Boys Soccer 4U Soccer 6U Soccer $2,320 $1,3558U Soccer 27 46 $930 $2,30571 72 16 12 19 Totals 419 12U Softball 12U Softball Totals 10U Tackle 8U Soccer 12U Baseball Fall 2023 Sport Participation Revenue 10U Baseball 22 Fall 2022 Sport $12,940.00 RevenueParticipation 10U Girls Soccer 13U Boys Soccer 13U Girls Soccer 4U Soccer 6U Soccer 10U Softball 12U Softball 12 13 65 57 18 10U Softball $1,825 $2,495 $1,125 $435 $500 $510 10U Girls Soccer 13U Boys Soccer 13U Girls Soccer 4U Soccer 6U Soccer 14 14 $11,920.00 12 379 $310 58 80 38 4U Soccer $1,030 $560 $825 $3,305 $3,130 44 49 22 33 27 16 24 94 87 $1,075 12 $1,200 $1,385 $745 $1,215 $530 7U Flag Football 8U Baseball Cheerleading 8U Tackle 13U Tackle 25 34 10 18 27 10U Tackle 10U Girls Soccer 13U Boys Soccer 13U Girls Soccer 5U Baseball 8U Baseball Cheerleading 8U Flag Football 6U Soccer 8U Soccer 10U Tackle 10U Girls Soccer 13U Boys Soccer 13U Girls Soccer 8U Softball 31 40 14 34 $785 $1,610 9-12U Baseball 10U Softball 12U Softball 8U Softball Totals Totals Fall 2024 Sport Participation Revenue 9-12U Baseball 43 $1,490 5U Baseball 46 $1,785 8U Baseball 42 $1,565 Cheerleading 30 $940 $540 13U Boys Soccer 16 $550 8U Flag Football 28 $920 13U Tackle 21 $800 10U Tackle 30 $950 Totals 589 $20,940.00 8U Soccer 61 $2,110 10U Softball 16 $575 12U Softball 12 $425 Fall 2025 Sport Participation Revenue 9-12U Baseball 52 $1,805 8U Softball 19 $670 13U Girls Soccer 15 $530 4U Soccer 68 $2,515 6U Soccer 75 $2,710 10U Boys Soccer 52 $1,865 10U Girls Soccer 15 5U Baseball 70 $2,570 8U Baseball 58 $1,905 Cheerleading 22 $680 8U Flag Football 29 $1,040 13U Tackle 21 $805 10U Tackle 31 $1,085 10U Boys Soccer 39 $1,340 10U Girls Soccer 23 $790 13U Boys Soccer 30 $1,080 13U Girls Soccer 14 $490 4U Soccer 88 $3,345 6U Soccer 90 $3,310 8U Softball 14 $500 Totals 669 $23,840.00 8U Soccer 63 $2,180 10U Softball 13 $510 12U Softball 12 $405 Fall 2026 Sport Participation Revenue 9-12U Baseball 60 $1,955 5U Baseball 86 $3,130 8U Baseball 73 $2,510 Cheerleading 29 $935 8U Flag Football 44 $1,380 13U Tackle 33 $1,115 10U Tackle 32 $1,045 10U Boys Soccer 40 $1,235 10U Girls Soccer 14 $485 13U Boys Soccer 42 $1,445 13U Girls Soccer 26 $935 4U Soccer 77 $2,785 6U Soccer 100 $3,570 8U Boys Soccer 57 $1,895 10U Softball 28 $895 12U Softball 12 $395 8U Softball 15 $485 Totals 794 $27,100.00 8U Girls Soccer 26 $905 15U Baseball DATE: August 31, 2026 DEPARTMENT: Youth Programs/Lillington Parks & Recreation SUBJECT: August 2026 - Monthly Departmental Report Summary of Monthly Activities: Before and After School Care for the 2026-2027 school year began on Wednesday, August 12th.
