(Attachment 5) Commissioner Comments HCBOC 092126 Pg. 5 Harnett County Board of Commissioners Regular Meeting Minutes September 15, 2026 Page 4 of 5 Commissioner Morris stated I appreciate everyone for coming out and thanked staff for their hard work. Commissioner McKoy stated I am proud to be here. I am proud to see this board moving in the right direction for the citizens of this County. It has been a big improvement from where we used to stand. I hope we continue to do that, put the citizens first when making our decisions up here. I am not here for myself; I am here for the citizens. Commissioner McKoy thanked Brent and Melissa, for providing clear information and making sure we don’t forget. I was telling my husband about the work Melissa does for us. I try to do my part, I feel better about this Board. Vice Chairman Nicol stated I understand everybody’s passion and I understand everybody’s right to be upset with property tax. It’s unfair. If you tune in you can see the work this board does, that this county does, staff does to pioneer or get a loophole with all the bureaucratic red tape we have to jump through. If people would pay attention to the meetings that we have, also get involved a little bit more, you would see that we echo the same sentiments. Each of is up here, we are humans, we are individuals, we are neighbors and friends. Our kids play with your kids. Chances are we have helped up in some way that you don’t know. Last week there were many comments and threats going around. I am going to tell you, they are escalating and I do not appreciate it. I suggest more people do research before they post certain things. I think people mistake my career field and my elected official. If my wife and family ever feel threatened, my obligation first is to protect them. As the same as everybody else should be for their family. That goes for my staff as well. Chairman Jaggers stated I understand people are upset about the tax values, I understand the tax rates, but you know in Harnett County, the 63 cents evaluation we have is not one of the highest tax rates in the State of North Carolina. But there are a lot of good things coming out of the money that everybody wants to talk about, like, where’s the money going? We are funding a new high school, we are funding a new CTE high school. I think for our kids to be able to graduate with a high school diploma and a college degree in a trade, we are creating a workforce for Harnett County for businesses to come and look at Harnett County and say we already have a workforce going on in Harnett County. And I think that is one of the greatest things that I think this county have done in a long time is moving forward with that CTE high school. A lot of the things people think we should do, we are not allowed to do. The State of North Carolina, have created laws that say you cannot do impact fees. Since I have been on the Board, we have invested in education. You know what’s happening because of that, the grade scores that they have, the ratings that the schools have are going up. We are keeping teachers again. People are wanting to come to work in Harnett County. We are creating a workforce to sustain Harnett County. The second thing I would like to comment on is, I have not seen anybody commenting about gas and diesel fuel prices, I guarantee you, if you look at your budget, you are going to spend more on gas increase than the tax increase. Know where else that translates to, fire, EMS, the construction, the county building, it cause everything to go outrageous. This negative stuff it’s not getting anywhere. We appreciate the ones who come and you help provide information. Those that come up to podium have not called me and ask me why did it does this. I have had 3 or 4 call and talk to me about the tax situation and when I talked to them about why were are doing what we are doing, they understood, they still might not have liked it but they understood. HCBOC 092126 Pg. 6 Harnett County Board of Commissioners Regular Meeting Minutes September 15, 2026 Page 5 of 5 Commissioner McKoy also shared information about how Harnett County pays funds to Central Carolina Community College so that every child in Harnett County can go for two years free. That is a great opportunity for children to take advantage of. Campbell is now offering two years free for Harnett County kids. Chairman Jaggers stated the public comment period of time is an opportunity for individuals to come and speak to the Board to give us information we do not have or pass it along to the public. It would be nice to see the public comment period be a benefit to share information about what’s going on in their communities. Vice Chairman Nicol made a motion to adjourn at 9:55 am. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Morris and carried unanimously. ____________________________________ ___________________________________ Duncan E.

Attachments • Written description of property from recorded deed • Detailed project narrative that includes the purpose of the proposed district • Proposed conditions offered by applicant (including a list of allowable land uses) • A site plan or master plan that includes land uses, existing conditions, buildings, lots, etc. per Article IV Section 4.3.2 of the Harnett County Unified Development Ordinance • Elevation drawings of all buildings indicating the proposed exterior finish materials Signatures The undersigned applicant hereby certifies that, to the best of his or her knowledge and belief, all information supplied with this application is true and accurate: Property Owner Signature Date Authorized Agent Signature Date Property Owner Signature Date 7/1/2026 The proposed rezoning directly aligns with the core goals of the Harnett County Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The plan specifically encourages managed residential growth in areas where public infrastructure, major roadways, and utilities are readily available or can be efficiently upgraded/extended. By establishing a compact, well-planned community instead of low density rural sprawl, this project maximizes infrastructure efficiency and preserves the county’s broader rural character. The project also adheres to the specific design, environmental, and open-space standards outlined in the Harnett County UDO fulfilling the county’s long-term vision for sustainable growth. The development will enhance local neighborhood character through consistent architectural standards, professional landscaping, and well-maintained common areas that elevate property values across the community. Existing natural buffers, and setbacks will be preserved wherever possible to seamlessly blend the new homes into the existing landscape and topography. Regarding public necessity, Harnett County is experiencing steady population growth, driving a critical demand for high-quality, diverse housing options. This ~175 lot subdivision directly addresses that shortage by providing modern, accessible single family housing for families, professionals, and workforce members who want to live near local employment hubs. It fulfills a vital need for planned growth rather than sporadic, uncoordinated development. The requested residential zoning conditions are highly compatible with the existing character and logical growth patterns of the surrounding area. The vicinity already features a mix of established residential communities and transitional agricultural tracts. Introducing a single family residential subdivision acts as a natural extension of this existing development pattern. The density proposed (~175 lots) serves as an excellent buffer transition between more intense commercial/transportation corridors and rural spaces. Additionally, the restricted nature of the conditional zoning ensures that no incompatible commercial or heavy industrial uses can be introduced, maintaining an ideal residential environment for both new and existing neighbors. The proposed ~175 lot residential subdivision is intentionally designed to prioritize community safety, health,and welfare. The layout features an optimized, interconnected internal street network with multiple points of future ingress and egress to ensure smooth traffic flow and unhindered access for emergency vehicles. To promote public health and active living, the development integrates dedicated open spaces, amenity areas, and pedestrian-friendly sidewalks that safely separate foot traffic from vehicular roadways. Furthermore, the neighborhood will utilize public utilities rather than individual wells or septic systems, safeguarding groundwater quality and ensuring reliable infrastructure. Stormwater management systems will be professionally engineered to handle post-development runoff, preventing flooding and protecting adjacent properties.

The development includes an interconnected internal street network with opportunities for future connectivity, providing efficient traffic circulation and emergency vehicle access. Sidewalks, open space, and community amenities are incorporated throughout the site to encourage pedestrian connectivity and enhance neighborhood livability. The subdivision will be served by public water and sanitary sewer, providing reliable utility service and eliminating the need for individual wells and septic systems. Stormwater management facilities will be designed in accordance with applicable local and state regulations to manage post-development runoff and protect downstream properties. The proposed conditional zoning is compatible with the surrounding area, which consists of a combination of existing residential development and agricultural land. The development represents a logical extension of nearby residential growth while limiting the property to single-family residential use through the conditional rezoning process. The proposal is consistent with the goals of the Harnett County Comprehensive HCBOC 092126 Pg. 50 5 Land Use Plan by directing residential growth to an area where public infrastructure and utilities are available or can be efficiently extended. The project will provide additional housing opportunities to help meet the County's continued residential demand while complying with the applicable standards of the Harnett County Unified Development Ordinance. Overall, the proposed development represents an orderly and planned pattern of growth that is consistent with the County's long-term planning objectives. Proposed Conditions We aim to establish all finalized proposed conditions throughout the conditional rezoning process with help of the Harnett County Planning staff. The proposed conditions are intended to ensure that the development occurs in a manner consistent with the submitted plan and the goals of Harnett County. The conditions will provide certainty regarding the permitted use of the property and establish development standards that promote compatibility with surrounding properties, infrastructure efficiency, and high-quality community design. Recorded Deeds & Supplemental Information The recorded deeds available through the Harnett County Register of Deeds search provided the majority of the property information required for this application. However, no recorded deed specific to PIN 0664-46-5026 could be located through the available records. The only documentation identified for this parcel was the Voluntary Agricultural District documentation, which has been included with this submittal for reference. Additionally, proposed building elevations have been appended to the end of this Project Narrative. While these elevations do not represent the exact home models that will be constructed within the development, they are intended to provide a representative example of the anticipated architectural style, building elements, and overall character of the proposed community. We look forward to working with you on this project and if you have any questions or concerns, please contact us as needed.

Gross densities of 1-2 dwelling units per acre depending on zoning, utilities, soils, and character of adjacent development. Smaller lot sizes could be permitted as part of Compatibility Development, which would also include a higher amount of open space to preserve sensitive environmental areas. Compatibility The conditional rezoning request is compatible with the Low Density Residential Future Land Use Classification. The request would allow low-density residential development with a minimum lot size of 12,500 square feet and a maximum density of 1.83 units per acre. Although the proposed minimum lot size is smaller than the minimum lot size permitted under the current zoning, the reduced lot size is appropriate within the Low Density Residential classification due to the availability of sewer service and the provision of 25% open space as part of the proposed development.

The proposal will place all property similarly situated in the area in the same category, or in appropriate complementary categories. The subject property is adjacent to the RA-30 zoning district and the corresponding conventional zoning district, RA-40. The proposal to rezone the property to the CZ- RA-40 zoning district will place the properties in an appropriate complementary zoning category. The allowable uses in the proposed CZ-RA-40 zoning district are identical to those in the corresponding conventional zoning district and are more restrictive than the uses permitted within the RA-30 zoning district. Yes No B. There is a convincing demonstration that all uses permitted under the proposed district classification would be in the interest of the general public and not merely the interest of the individual or small group. The allowable uses under the proposed CZ-RA-40 zoning district are in the interest of the general public and not merely the interest of the individual or small group. The uses permitted in the newly proposed zoning district are to the allowable uses under the existing zoning. 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) The permitted uses will not change under the proposed district classification and will therefore be appropriate in the area included in the proposed change. 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 requested conditional zoning district, CZ-RA-40, and the existing zoning destination, RA-40, are identical. The proposed CZ-RA-40 district will permit single family development, which could occur by-right under the existing zoning designation. Yes No E. The proposed change is in accordance with the comprehensive plan and sound planning practices. The proposed change is in accordance with the comprehensive land use plan and sound planning practices. The proposed change advances the following goals and strategies outlined in the Harnett Horizons 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Land Use HCBOC 092126 Pg. 74 STAFF REPORT Page 10 of 13 Goal 1: Manage growth in order to protect natural resources, agricultural areas and rural character. Strategy 1F: Encourage growth where infrastructure and services exist. F.2: Encourage growth in areas of the county where adequate water and sewer service exists or is planned. Goal 2: Maintain and increase standards for new development. Strategy 2A: Improve open space standards for new development in residential zoning districts. Base residential zoning districts do not have minimum open space requirements currently. Consider adding an open space requirement (e.g. 10-15%) for RA-20 and RA-30 zoning districts. Strategy 2C: Encourage reserved open space as an organizing element in new development. C.2: Encourage a mix of passive and active open space based on context.  Encourage more natural areas in rural areas and areas with sensitive environmental resources.  Utilize pocket parks, common greens and plazas as gathering spaces in new neighborhoods.  Create standards for mail kiosk areas. Kiosk areas should be located on open space lots, covered, lighted and ADA accessible.  Update standards to include incentives for entry features, additional landscaping and tree preservation  Strategy 2D: Enhance transportation requirements for large commercial and residential development. D.1: Maintain and enhance connectivity and cross access requirements. D.3: Require sidewalks, curb and gutter and street trees for most developments with lots under 20,000 square feet. Transportation Goal 3: Improve multi-modal transportation options in growing areas of the County. Strategy 3A: Continue to support the incorporation of pedestrian facilities in roadway improvement projects. Strategy 3B: Encourage or require the incorporation of sidewalks and/or greenways in new residential and commercial development. HCBOC 092126 Pg. 75 STAFF REPORT Page 11 of 13 Planning Board Meeting At the September 8, 2026 Planning Board meeting, a neighboring property owner spoke to request two conditions to minimize potential conflict between their existing shooting range and the proposed single family residential development. The following conditions were requested: 1. A minimum 50-foot wide, undisturbed wooded buffer shall be provided and maintained along the southern property line and securely fenced. Signage shall be displayed on the exterior of the fence instructing residents to keep out of the adjacent shooting range. 2. A restrictive covenant and disclosure statement shall be executed by the purchaser and recorded concurrently with the deed for any property transfer within the development, attesting that the purchaser has been notified of, and acknowledges, the proximity of the adjacent shooting range and the operational impacts associated with its use. The Planning Board voted unanimously (5-0) to recommend approval of the rezoning request with the additional conditions. Suggested Statement-of-Consistency for Approval The requested rezoning to CZ-RA-40 Conditional Zoning District is consistent with the Harnett Horizons 2040 Comprehensive Plan and is reasonable for the following reasons:  The request advances policies in the land use plan that increase residential development standards relating to enhanced open space and amenity requirements, pedestrian facilities, and improved connectivity. Additionally, the proposed zoning change is compatible with the underlying land use, Low Density Residential future land use designation.  The requested rezoning is reasonable because the users permitted under the proposed CZ-RA-40 classification remain identical to the uses permitted under the property’s current zoning classification. Additionally, the request is supported by the availability of public water and sewer utilities. Suggested Statement-of-Consistency for Denial The requested rezoning to CZ-RA-40 Conditional Zoning District is unreasonable for the following reason:  The requested rezoning is unreasonable due to the proposed development density of 1.81 units per acre, which is incompatible with surrounding agricultural and very low-density residential development that defines the neighborhood character. HCBOC 092126 Pg. 76 STAFF REPORT Page 12 of 13 Standards of Review and Worksheet TYPICAL REVIEW STANDARDS The Planning Board shall consider and make recommendations to the County Board of Commissioners concerning each proposed zoning district.

Gregory; Harnett County Unified Development Ordinance; Article V, Section 11.6.D, 1,2,3 & 4, "Manufactured Home Park". The applicant is requesting approval of a proposed text amendment to the Unified Development Ordinance, Article V, Section 11.6.D, 1, 2, 3, & 4 "Manufactured Home Park". The text Mr. Gregory has proposed would allow for a covered porch to have a maximum area of 100 square feet; however, staff’s proposing a maximum area of 40 square feet. Staff’s proposal for a smaller porch size is to help avoid the illegal conversion of covered porches into enclosed living areas, which has been problematic in the past. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: At the September 8, 2026 Planning Board meeting, the Planning Board voted unanimously (5-0) to recommend approval of the applicant's proposed text amendment as written.

Background In April of 2021, staff petitioned the Board of Commissioners to amend the Unified Development Ordinance to allow for covered porches to be constructed on manufactured homes located within manufactured home parks. At the meeting, one resident spoke in favor of the proposed text amendment. The Board failed to make a motion for the request, and the request died. Now, the Planning Services office has received a request from Mr. Rodney Gregory to allow for covered porches to be constructed on manufactured homes within manufactured home parks. The text Mr. Gregory has proposed would allow for a covered porch to have a maximum area of 100 square feet; however, staff’s proposing a maximum area of 40 square feet. Staff’s proposal for a smaller porch size is to help avoid the illegal conversion of covered porches into enclosed living areas, which has been problematic in the past. Reason for Requested Change: Currently, the Unified Development ordinance does not allow for the addition of covered porches and decks on manufactured homes located within a Manufactured Home Park. The applicant is requesting a change in the text to allow for the construction of covered porches on manufactured homes located within Manufactured Home Parks. Covered porches are permitted on manufactured homes located outside of manufactured home parks. HCBOC 092126 Pg. 87 Page 4 of 4 Planning Board Meeting: At the September 8, 2026 Planning Board meeting, the Planning Board voted unanimously (5-0) to approve the text amendment as requested by the applicant. The Planning Board stated that a maximum allowable covered area of 40 square feet as proposed in staff’s recommended text was too small. The Planning Board stated concerns that staff’s recommended allowable size could make operating a wheelchair difficult and limit enjoyment. Suggested Statement-of-Consistency for Approval: The requested Text Amendment is not in conflict with the policies, goals, and strategies outlined in the Harnett Horizons 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan or the existing regulations in the Unified Development Ordinance. Therefore, it is recommended that the Text Amendment request be APPROVED. Suggested Statement-of-Consistency for Denial: The requested Text Amendment does not advance the policies, goals, or recommendations outlined in the Harnett Horizons 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Therefore, it is recommended that the Text Amendment request be DENIED.

The Jail Health Plan is developed by the Health Director and the Sheriff's Office using the Department of Health and Human Services guidelines. Southern Health Partners is the contracted provider to administer the Jail Health Plan. The Plan has been reviewed and approved by the Harnett County Sheriff's Office, Legal Department, and the Local Health Director. The plan must be reviewed and approved annually. FINANCE OFFICER’S RECOMMENDATION: COUNTY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION: Item 13A HCBOC 092126 Pg. 176 Jail Health Plan Page | 1 Harnett County Jail Lillington, North Carolina Jail Health Plan Compliance with this Jail Health Plan is the joint responsibility of the Harnett County Health Department and the Harnett County Sheriff. Harnett County has contracted with Southern Health Partners, Inc., to provide on-site care to the inmates of the Harnett County Detention Center, under the terms of a Health Services Agreement. Southern Health Partners, Inc. is hereinafter referred to as SHP within this Jail Health Plan. Harnett County Detention Center is hereinafter referred to as HCDC within this Jail Health Plan. It is understood Southern Health Partners, Inc. has specific Policies and Procedures for inmate health services on-site within the medical unit. These policies and procedures can be reviewed by the Harnett County Health Department Director and the Harnett County Sheriff at any time. Intake Screening Inmates detained in the Harnett County Detention Center have a right to access care for medical and mental health needs. SHP is the primary medical provider for HCDC. Upon the arrival of each inmate at the HCDC, a preliminary health assessment (Intake Screening) will be performed by trained detention officers. Screening should be conducted within 2-4 hours of an inmate being booked. At a minimum, the screening will include the following: • Documentation of current illnesses and health problems including medications taken and special health requirements. • Documentation of mental health problems, dental problems and allergies. • Behavior observation, including state of consciousness, mental status, appearance, conduct, tremors, sweating. • Inquiry into use of alcohol and other drugs, including types, methods, date/time last taken and problems arising out of use. • Notation of body deformities and ease of movement. • Observation of persistent cough or lethargy as well as an inquiry to unintentional weight loss, night sweats and known exposure to TB. • Inquiry into known communicable diseases including sexually transmitted disease. • Condition of skin including trauma markings, bruises, lesions, jaundice, rashes and infestations and needle marks or other indications of drug abuse. • Status classification to succinctly identify the inmate's health status. • Referral of the inmate for emergency health services or additional health services, as necessary. During the screening process, inmates will be given the option to submit to a urine drug screen. This is completely voluntary and the results of the drug screen are only used to determine how to address any opioid use disorder or other substance use disorder. No inmate requiring medical services beyond what can be provided within the facility should be accepted into the facility until the inmate has been treated at the local hospital and medically cleared for commitment to the detention center. HCBOC 092126 Pg. 177 Jail Health Plan Page | 2 Inmate Sick Call To ensure that inmate health problems and requests are addressed appropriately and efficiently, SHP uses a structured triage process. SHP Medical Provider (Physician and/or Physician Assistant or Nurse Practitioner under supervision by a Physician, herein referred to as Provider) always oversees the triage system that is followed by all health care personnel within the detention center. This ensures that inmates receive the appropriate level of care and that their complaints are properly processed and resolved. Inmates can access the triage system by submitting a health care request form. These requests are received and processed daily by the health care staff and as a first step in the triage system the inmate is seen by a member of the professional nursing staff and appropriate treatment is administered within the scope of the Nurse Practice Act. Those inmates requiring a higher level of service will be referred to the Provider or other appropriate professional practitioner in a timely manner. If the Provider or other practitioner determines that the inmate’s medical needs are more extensive or specialized than can be addressed within the facility’s health care program, an appropriate referral to outside medical services will be provided. Sick call must be conducted on-site by a medical professional to be reviewed by the Provider. Appropriate documentation will be recorded and maintained for all inmates seen at sick call. The information recorded will be incorporated into the inmate's medical record. An inmate's medical record will contain appropriate entries completely documenting each sick call encounter (i.e., an inmate's specific health request, the assessment of the health care professional who saw the inmate, the prescribed treatment plan, and any follow-up encounters). This will ensure that all inmates' health requests are promptly and properly handled, documented, and followed through to a satisfactory resolution. Inmates should be seen within 24 hours of their request being received by medical staff, unless the request is submitted on a weekend when staff is limited or unavailable, and then inmates may be seen within 72 hours of their request being received by medical staff. Special Medical Services SHP will facilitate special health care services including, but not limited to, care for inmates who are chronically ill, physically handicapped, developmentally disabled or inmates with special mental health needs or convalescing inmates. These services may be accomplished by outside referrals to specialty providers. Individual treatment plans will be developed for all chronically ill and convalescing inmates. Examples of chronic illness include diabetes, hypertension, asthma and epilepsy. Convalescing inmates include those recovering from fractures, inpatient surgical procedures, hepatitis and other communicable diseases. The type of treatment will be determined by the needs of the individual inmate, but may include such things as medications, special diets, physical therapy, laboratory tests or dressing changes. Medical staff are to contact the Provider prior to any initiation of treatment. This can be done during a daily telephone briefing of services by the medical staff member to the Provider. Medical staff is to verify the presence and/or treatment of an inmate’s reported chronic condition when possible. Medical staff should verify condition through the request of previous treatment records and/or pharmacy(s). Upon verification, medical staff will follow procedures for initiation medication and/or immediate treatment if necessary. If verification cannot be obtained, refer to Provider for current orders based on inmate’s stated history. Inmate and/or inmate’s treatment record/chart is to be placed in the inmates medical file for review by the Provider at their next on-site sick call date. HCBOC 092126 Pg. 178 Jail Health Plan Page | 3 SHP will keep a list of inmates with special needs and maintain schedules for medical treatment. For example, daily blood sugars are obtained on all diabetics receiving insulin, Dilantin levels are monitored monthly on epileptic inmates, and blood pressure evaluations are performed as clinically indicated on inmates receiving anti-hypertensive drugs. If an inmate is deemed to be a suicide risk, t he inmate is to be assigned to a cell in the booking area to ensure close supervision. If an inmate has a special medical need that requires an assessment by a medical professional and medical staff is not on-site, the inmate will be held in a booking cell until they can be seen and evaluated by a medical professional. Once cleared, and no other concerns are noted, the inmate may be moved to classification pod. Infection Control SHP has developed an Infection Control Program that incorporates education, diagnosis and treatment of inmates. Screening for communicable diseases or the risk of such diseases occurs at time of intake, and if conditions and/or symptoms indicate that further testing is necessary, then such will be performed. Inmates will be educated regarding TB screening and/or testing which is to be performed by the medical staff. If a TB test is administered, it should be read within the timeframe of the testing procedure (48-72 hours). If an inmate is released prior to his/her test being read, the inmate should be advised to follow-up with the local health department. Any inmate identified as having active Tuberculosis will be medically segregated from the general inmate population. SHP Infection Control Program includes, but is not limited to: • Surveillance procedures to detect inmates with infectious and communicable diseases, appropriate immunizations to prevent these diseases and proper treatment and care for inmates with these diseases. • The decontamination of medical equipment and proper disposal of sharps and medical bio-hazardous waste used by the medical staff or determined by the medical staff to be considered bio-hazardous waste. • Strict adherence to universal precautions by health care workers to prevent exposure to blood-borne pathogens. • Notifying the Local County health department of suspected/confirmed cases of all STD, TB, HIV, Hepatitis, Listeria E- coli, MRSA, Corona Virus as well as other diseases reportable according to the NC Administrative Code 10ANCAC41A.0101 and 0102 criteria. SHP will also dispose of all medically-related infectious and hazardous waste in accordance with all state and federal regulations, under the terms of the Health Care Service Agreement with HARNETT County and SHP. SHP will follow and ensure compliance with Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) guidelines for infection control procedures. Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies An agreement has been set in place for SHP to order all prescribed medications from a corporate contracted pharmacy vendor. Any STAT medications may be ordered from a local pharmacy provider. STAT medications are classified as medications which need to be started immediately an da supply of such medications is not currently on-site within the medical unit. The corporate pharmacy vendor will supply the SHP Formulary and ordering sheets to the facility for the placement of orders. All orders received before 12:00 p.m. EST, Monday thru Friday, may be shipped out for next day delivery. SHP shall comply with all applicable state and federal regulations regarding the prescribing, dispensing, administering, and procuring of pharmaceuticals. All employees must review the ordering procedures for pharmaceuticals. No medications will be ordered without a Provider’s order. All re-orders must also be approved through the Provider. HCBOC 092126 Pg. 179 Jail Health Plan Page | 4 All pharmaceuticals must be stored appropriately, in accordance with their storage instructions (i.e. refrigeration, etc.). Security storage (under lock and key) must be maintained for all prescribed medications. Only the nurse and health services staff will have access to the medications. If applicable, a key may be given to security in case of emergencies. All narcotics are to be kept under separate lock and key from other medications. SHP has previously submitted the proper application and been granted approval under the North Carolina Controlled Substance Act and now applies annually for renewal of specific licensures. SHP nursing staff and the Medical Provider should perform a periodic review of all pharmacy orders. A narcotic count must be performed daily and the nurse and/or provider should review all reports. Copies of all count sheets are to be kept on file for review and/or audit. All expired pharmaceuticals must be destroyed or disposed of accordingly. SHP is responsible for the destruction or disposition of expired pharmaceuticals and maintaining records of such. Also, a Sharps Count must be kept by all nursing staff with all count sheets to be kept on file for review and/or audit. Diabetic inmates may be allowed to administer their own insulin under the supervision of a health care staff member who is responsible for drawing the insulin. All pharmaceuticals will be maintained in the medication room and only personnel authorized to give medications will have access to this area. The medication room area will be locked at all times and only authorized personnel will have keys. The pharmacist will be responsible to select all generic equivalent drug products used in the correctional facility. All drug products utilized will be those of certified Food and Drug Administration approved manufacturers. In addition, the pharmacy vendor will conform to all federal laws, State statutes, and the state Board of Pharmacy regulations concerning drug products. All drug recalls will be the responsibility of the pharmacist. Collection and return of recalled drugs will be the pharmacists’ responsibility at the dispensing level and the nurse’s responsibility, upon notification, at the drug administrator level. All floor stock shall be reviewed and authorized by the Medical Provider. Separate control and/or count sheets must be maintained on any controlled substances. These will be reviewed and audited by Regional Administrators when they visit the site, as well as through the Pharmacy Inspection Audits as may be required by regulations through the State Board of Pharmacy. Emergency Medical Care Certain members of the professional health care staff, including the Provider, will have twenty-four (24) hour on-call responsibility for any emergency that may arise on-site. In the event of an emergency or in response to an urgent medical need, and nursing staff are not on-site, the detention staff may contact 911 directly for emergency response. For any other after-hours medical needs which are not emergent in nature, the detention staff may contact the nursing on-call staff who will respond by telephone to work with officers to evaluate the inmate. If it is determined that there is an emergency that cannot be handled in the detention center, the inmate will be transferred to a hospital emergency room for further treatment. Medical personnel will decide if an ambulance is required for transport. However, in the event where the detention supervisor feels that the services of EMS are required, and the medical staff is not present to assess the situation then the detention supervisor should make provisions for emergency transport without the hesitation of notifying the medical staff. SHP is to have arrangements made for providing hospital and specialized ambulatory care for medical, dental and mental illness HCBOC 092126 Pg. 180 Jail Health Plan Page | 5 emergencies. A verbal agreement may exist until contractual terms have been set. Dental Health Services Dental treatment shall be provided according to an established treatment plan by SHP. SHP does not perform dental procedures but will refer inmates to a North Carolina Licensed Dentist. Dental treatment will be scheduled on an as needed basis, for the earliest appointment time available. The Medical Provider will review all prescriptions for approval. Mental Health Services Upon the arrival of each inmate at the Harnett County Detention Center an intake screening will be performed by trained detention staff. The screening includes questions related to an inmate’s mental health and requires staff to document any behavior that might be indicative of a mental health condition. All inmates with positive screens for significant mental health issues upon intake will receive a mental health evaluation. Those inmates who require services beyond the capabilities of the facility or whose adaptation to the detention center is significantly impaired, will be referred to a qualified mental health professional or local mental health agency for an evaluation as soon as possible. Severe mental illness and/or intellectual and other developmental disability cases should be reported to the security staff for housing assignment changes, if needed. Any determination by mental health staff or agency regarding transfer of an inmate to a more appropriate facility must be reported to the Jail Administrator for implementation. Southern Health Partners contracts with Correctional Behavioral Health (CBH) to provide weekly and as needed mental health services to inmates in the Harnett County Detention Center. Weekly services include scheduled mental health clinics for new inmates that have been identified as needing mental health services through intake screening. Mental health follow-up appointments for those with established care with CBH will also be conducted weekly. These appointments may be scheduled via videoconference. Suicide watch evaluations will be conducted as needed by videoconference or in person. These evaluations will be available once every 24 hours with medical staff responsible for initiating contact with the provided contractor. Each suicide watch evaluation will include a recommendation for release from suicide watch, continuation and reevaluation, or more intensive intervention at the conclusion of the assessment. Clinical documentation for the medical record will be faxed to Harnett County Detention within 24 hours of the evaluation. Handling of Inmates with Substance Use Disorder Upon completion of the screening process, inmates indicating or testing positive for substance use must be immediately referred to medical staff for further evaluation and treatment. In the event that a medical professional is not on-site at the time of booking, the inmate will be seen by medical staff within 24 hours. Inmates reporting the use of alcohol, opiates, stimulants, sedatives, hypnotic drugs, or other substances will be evaluated for their potential for withdrawal from these substances and possible intoxication or overdose. Medical staff are to use the Alcohol and Drug Withdrawal Flow Sheet to document findings and assessment of the inmate. Detoxification will be carried out only under medical supervision and initiated by the medical staff with Provider overview on an individual care basis. In the event of an emergency related to detoxification, the inmate will be sent to the local emergency room for evaluation and treatment. Detention staff should be made aware of inmate’s placement of monitoring for severity of withdrawal so they too will be able to monitor the inmate for signs and symptoms of withdrawal distress. HCBOC 092126 Pg. 181 Jail Health Plan Page | 6 Pregnant females who have drug/alcohol dependency will promptly be referred to the medical professional on staff for appropriate treatment methods. SHP’s policy manual addresses specific protocol for pregnant inmates. Inmates who are receiving withdrawal monitoring must be monitored on a consistent basis and all findings documented in his/her medical record. Documentation of the inmate’s status during withdrawal is very important and must be reviewed by appropriate medical staff to maintain inmate care while incarcerated in the facility. When relevant information or records regarding any prior treatment plans exists, those treatment plans should be obtained from the prior treating physician and/or facility and are to be reviewed by the Provider and SHP medical staff. These records should be placed in the inmate’s medical record. Substance Use Services Harnett County Detention Center uses the following methods to develop individualized treatment plans for detainees with substance use disorders: o Screening assessment o Urine drug screen to confirm substance use o COWS assessment o CIWA assessment The following are substance use treatment options available at the Harnett County Detention Center o Initiation of medication assisted treatment (i.e. Suboxone) to prevent the emergency of opioid withdrawal symptoms o Continuation of prescribed medication assisted treatment o Comfort medications for inmates who refuse medication assisted treatment or do not qualify Continuation of Medication Assisted Treatment: Continued treatment is offered to inmates who enter jail while currently enrolled in a community/local MAT program. In general, treatment is maintained initially at the current dose as prescribed by their Provider/Treatment program prior to incarceration. Treatment Center Verification: MAT medications include, but are not limited to: Methadone, Sublocade, Buprenorphine, Naltrexone, Suboxone, and Vivitrol. When an inmate is identified as prescribed MAT from an opioid treatment program, medical staff is to contact the inmate’s opioid treatment program (OTP) to confirm their participation. After participation is confirmed, the medical staff documents this information in inmate’s medical record, have the inmate sign a Consent for Continuance of MAT form. Medication Dosing: Medications administered pursuant to the MAT program are to be given within the medical department—not on regular med pass. This allows for the inmate to be monitored at the time medication is given, and to minimize any diversion to other inmates. If inmate refuses any administrations, SHP is to document such refusal. If inmate refuses twice in a row, notify the Provider for further orders/consideration of discontinuance of medication as well as orders for withdrawal monitoring and medication for withdrawal symptoms. Maintenance of Medical Records All medical records will be kept in the medical unit or, if inactive, in a secure place accessible to medical personnel for a period of six years. The Jail Administrator should be consulted as to the space needed for the storage of inactive files. HCBOC 092126 Pg. 182 Jail Health Plan Page | 7 All medical encounters will be entered into the medical record using the Clinical Pathway Form, a narrative or S.O.A.P. format. The medical record will contain the following elements and all laboratory reports, consult reports, discharge summaries, and diagnostic studies will be reviewed and initialed by the provider before placement in the medical record. 1. Receiving Screening form; 2. Admission Data/History and Physical Assessment form; 3. Providers’ Orders form;(used by the discretion of the Provider) 4. Progress Notes and or Clinical Pathway Forms; 5. Laboratory studies; Diagnostic studies; Dental records; 6. Psychiatric and psychological reports; 7. Consultant’s reports; x-ray reports; 8. Medication Administration Records; 9. Consent forms; Discharges summaries; 10. Release of Responsibility and Authorization for Release of Information Forms; 11. Sick Call Request forms; 12. Specialized treatments plans; 13. All other relevant and medically related materials; 14. Transfer forms When an inmate is reincarcerated, the prior record, if one exists, will be reactivated and reviewed by the medical staff. The inmate will have one (1) medical record that contains a record of all medical services that are rendered. All forms must be signed and dated appropriately. Confidentiality of Health Records HIPAA regulations apply to any protected health information such as information that concerns a person’s social security number, date of birth, physical or mental health, healthcare, or payment information that could be used to identify an individual. Disclosure of such information is prohibited. SHP may disclose an inmate’s protected health information to another detention facility or correctional institution or law enforcement personnel having custody over the inmate as necessary for: 1. Health and safety of the inmate or other inmates; 2. Health and safety of correctional institution personnel; 3. Health and safety of those personnel responsible for transporting or transferring of inmates; 4. Law enforcement on the institution’s premises; 5. The administration and maintenance of the safety, security, and good order of the institution. N.C.G.S 130A 143 has strict confidentiality to information about reportable communicable diseases. The public health regulations allow a local health department director to notify the Sheriff if a detention inmate has certain communicable diseases. This regulation excludes HIV infection and AIDS. The disease must represent a significant threat to the public health. Per N.C.G.S. 130A-145, all information and records that identify person who has AIDS virus infection or who has or may have a disease or condition required to be reported pursuant to the provisions of this Article shall be strictly confidential and shall not be released or made public except under the circumstances listed in the Article. The inmate’s medical record is considered confidential and may not be shared with unauthorized individuals or agencies without the inmate’s written consent. HCBOC 092126 Pg. 183 Jail Health Plan Page | 8 Medical staff should not discuss an inmate’s health information in front of other inmates. Non-health staff observing or overhearing clinical encounter information are to be instructed to maintain confidentiality. It is recognized that detention staff present for security during an inmate’s evaluation will potentially learn of medical issues and are expected to maintain patient confidentiality at all times. Privacy All medical evaluations and services are to be performed in as much privacy, with respect to security issues, as possible. Security personnel must be present for medical evaluations. Instruction on maintaining confidentiality is given to security staff that observes or hears health encounters. When cell side triage is required, medical staff must take extra precautions to promote private communication with the inmate. Informed Consent and Right to Refuse Treatment All informed consent practices applicable in the general community are also to be observed for all examinations, treatments and procedures performed on an inmate. Inmates who refuse medical care and treatment are to do so in writing. A signed Release of Responsibility Form must be placed within the medical chart. If an inmate refuses to sign the form, the medical staff member should write “Inmate refuses to sign” and then sign/date his/her name. An officer or another medical staff member must be a witness to the inmate’s refusal. Training for Officers Training programs should be provided by a County/Jail training coordinator or through programs funded by the county or state (depending upon the facility resources). All training programs provided by SHP must be documented and the Jail training coordinator will keep attendance rosters. Upon request by the Jail Administrator, SHP can provide training to be a supplement to any required County/Jail officer training in relation to Jail Healthcare Services. Such SHP training supplemental topics include: First Aid; Suicide Prevention; CPR; Screening Techniques; Health Referrals; Medication Administration; Recognizing chronic conditions/illnesses; Signs and Symptoms of Mental Illness; Universal Precautions; Confidentiality (HIPAA); Infectious Diseases – AIDS, MRSA, TB. The nurse should participate in the on-going medical training program currently set-up through the Facility, whenever available to do so. Transporting inmates to outside sources for medical care The transportation officer will be notified by medical personnel when an inmate is scheduled for an appointment outside the Jail. Security staff will plan the transportation. Medical staff will not inform the inmate of the date or time of the appointment. When emergency transportation is required, medical personnel will decide whether an ambulance or security van is required and coordinate appropriate transportation with the corrections administration and security. Health Assessment All history and physical data will be obtained by medical staff and recorded on an Admission Data History and Physical Exam form. The medical staff will review the Receiving Screening form and confirm all information as well as ask for any additional medical HCBOC 092126 Pg. 184 Jail Health Plan Page | 9 history information that may not have been noted upon booking . The medical staff must verify previous history, and document such verification and/or non-verification. Within 14 calendar days of arrival into the Jail, inmates will receive a full health assessment by SHP medical staff. A recording of inmate’s current weight, height, blood pressure reading, and temperature and pulse rate will be noted on the Assessment form. Female inmates will be given a pregnancy test if their situation deems possible pregnancy or upon request. The medical staff will perform a physical exam. Inmates with a chronic condition will be screened and questioned specifically about their condition. Other lab and/or diagnostic testing may be required based on information received from the inmate and documented on the Receiving Screening or Assessment form. Provider orders must be obtained for the testing. An inmate, who has been re-admitted into the Jail and had a documented health assessment within the previous 12 months, need not be re-examined unless changes in inmate’s health have been noted upon admission. An inmate has the right to refuse a health assessment. If an inmate refuses a TB test, the inmate must be placed in isolation for precautionary measures, as TB is an infectious disease. Medical staff should monitor inmate until the TB testing is completed. Depending upon the reasons for the inmate’s refusal, the Medical Director and/or mental health staff may be advised to speak with the inmate about his/her concerns. All history and physical exam records must be referred to the Medical Director for review and sign-off. Continuity of Care Upon an inmate’s admission into the Harnett County Detention Center, every effort will be made to obtain information concerning previous and/or current treatment plans. Record request forms may be sent to the inmate’s treating provider for inclusion into inmate’s current medical file at the jail. The Provider must be made aware of medical records upon arrival for his/her review as well. All medications must be verified before their continuance. All verifications (or inability to verify) must be noted within the inmate’s medical file. Once medications have been verified, the Provider may give a verbal order (if not on-site) to continue the medications until the next scheduler provider sick call, based upon the inmate’s compliance prior to incarceration and present condition. Identified long-tern and/or serious chronic conditions must be referred to the Provider for referrals or follow-up clinic visits as needed. All pregnant inmates will be placed on prenatal services for referral to a local OB/GYN clinic or the local County Health Department. Pregnant inmates exhibiting serious conditions may be referred to the hospital for assessment and possible further care. Postpartum inmates will be assessed for follow-up services as needed. Inmate Death In the event of an inmate death in the Harnett County Detention Center, the following actions shall be taken immediately: 1. The officer or staff member discovering the body will notify the Shift Supervisor by the most expeditious means 2. The Pod Area Supervisor will lock back all inmates 3. The Pod Unit Officer will take immediate steps to preserve the death scene. Access will be allowed only to those individuals involved in the investigative process.

AAPC (American Academy of Professional Coders) Professional Member Please tell us why you would like to serve on the above listed board. As a resident of Lillington living at 181 Appleseed Drive, I am writing to formally express my enthusiastic interest in applying for one of the vacant citizen seats on the Harnett County Commission for Women and Youth. Having recently relocated to the county four months ago, I have chosen to make this community my home. Serving on this commission offers a meaningful opportunity to establish deep local roots while actively contributing to the well-being of our community's families, women, and young people. Professionally, I work within a Fraud, Waste, and Abuse department, a role entirely built around compliance, objective program evaluation, and quality assurance. My daily responsibilities require a strong analytical eye to identify systemic gaps, evaluate whether guidelines are being met, and advocate for operational integrity. I believe this unique safeguarding mindset translates perfectly into community advocacy. I am eager to apply my background to help review local programs, assess resource gaps, and ensure our county provides robust support networks for women and youth. Furthermore, as a newcomer, I bring a fresh, unbiased perspective to our rapidly growing region. I can look at our county's current resource offerings with a clear set of eyes to help determine how we can best welcome, protect, and empower expanding families. I am fully committed to attending all scheduled meetings, collaborating constructively with other board members, and serving the citizens of Harnett County with objectivity and dedication. Thank you for your time, consideration, and your continued service to our community.
