Mayor of New Bern, Tom Bayliss, welcomed everyone. He gave an overview of the downtown area of
New Bern. When he took office as Mayor in 1993, he did not envision how downtown revitalization could
impact an area. He stated that you can evaluate the health of a town by looking at the downtown area. A
town must be healthy from the inside out. Businesses are attracted by the downtown area of a town.
Presentation By Susan
Moffat. Director of The Swiss Bear
Downtown Develonment Corporation
Ms. Moffat gave a history of the downtown area of the City of New Bern. She presented a slide show
presentation of the Swiss Bear Downtown Development Corporation which was created by a private non-
profit organization in 1979. They created a special downtown tax district in 1979 at .50 cents per $100
dollar valuation. Since that time, the taxing district has been expanded and the tax rate has now been
reduced to .18 cents. They won the All American City Award in 1989. They created a buy -in plan which
was completed in 1990. An urban design plan was implemented in 1990. It took two years to develop this
first plan. After seeing the results of the first plan, the second urban design plan in 2002 was approved
immediately. The urban design plan was the catalyst to major downtown renovations. Downtown street
improvements began in 1995 and were completed block by block. Each block improvement had to be
completed within 60 days. $70 million dollars has been invested in new development.
Review Agenda- Review Preliminary FY '05-'06 Audit Report
Manager Autry presented the Council with the following expected outcomes of the Budget
Retreat/Planning Session:
• Provide direction for staff to proceed in the handling of City owned properties
• Form the structure of the Dunn Downtown Development Council and set timetable for
implementing
• Goals and Priorities — FY 07 -08
195
Manager Autry explained that Finance Director Renee' Daughtry is still recovering at home from a broken
leg. He presented the Preliminary FY '05 -'06 Audit Report, Mid -Year Financial Report and Debt Service.
Approximately 3.3 million General fund balance at the beginning. $135,383 expended from Fund Balance.
This amount includes the $92,000 collected from Adams Graphics for the sale of the city-owned parking
lot. Ending General Fund Balance is $3,190,536.
Available unrestricted general fund balance is $1,026,463.00.
Available unrestricted water fund balance is approximately 1 million.
Mid -Year Financial Reoort
Manager Autry presented the mid -year financial repor, as prepared by Finance Director Daughtry. He
summarized the report.
As of January 31, 2007 collections for the current year levy totaled $2,659,950, which is 91.30% of the
total levy.
As of January 31, 2007, collections for the Downtown Service District tax totaled $20,962, which is
87.34% of the total levy.
The City receives two state shared revenues distributed on an annual basis. The Powell Bill receipt was
$13,923 under the budgeted amount. The NC Alcoholic Beverage tax will be received in May of this year,
and is budgeted at $45,320.
The Utility Franchise Tax is received quarterly, and based on trend analysis and receipts to date, there is an
indication that this revenue may be approximately $23,000 over budget by year end. Discussion was held
about House Bill 2047 and Senate Bill 1559 Video Franchising and the effect it may have on cable
franchise fees paid to local governments. Effective January 1, 2007, the General Assembly designated the
Secretary of State as the exclusive franchising authority for cable service provided over a cable system.
This designation replaces the current authorization to cities and counties to award or renew a franchise.
Analysis of the state shared revenues, excluding the Powell Bill revenue because it is restricted in its use,
indicates that state funding will be above budget by approximately $43,000 at year -end.
As of January 31, 2007, the General Fund revenue budget was 67.50% collected, with General Fund
expenditures 54.84% expended.
Water fund revenues, if continued at the same level for the remainder of the year, will meet the budgeted
amount for this fiscal year.
Several departments have expenditure line items that will require amendments. Any large emergency
situations that might arise would call for appropriations from Fund Balance.

Discussion of Citv Owned Pronerties
a. Machine & Welding — 100 block of E. Edgerton Street - Manager Autry concurred with Mayor
Snipes that they would like a consensus from the Council directing them how to proceed with this
property. Planner Neuschafer presented drawings of this property with (3) scenarios of creating a
parking lot for the downtown area. I" option — keep the main Machine & Welding core; adding
19 parking spaces, losing (2) on street spaces with approximate cost of $26,000 not including the
cost of tearing down the building and preparing the area to pave. 2 nd option — remove the whole
building; adding 39 parking spaces with approximate cost of $55,000 not including the cost of
tearing down the building and preparing the area to pave. 3 rd option — remove the whole building
and the adjacent building; with a public private partnership, adding 72 parking spaces. It was
discussed that this proposed parking area would provide public parking since the City recently
sold a parking lot to Adams Graphics along the same general area of Railroad Avenue. Manager
l am/ Autry asked the Council for direction with this project. Discussion was held about the need for
additional downtown parking and preparing for future growth. Currently, the City of Dunn only
owns 74 parking spaces (including parking at City Hall). As a point of information, Engineer Ed
Powell informed the Council that to develop parking, each space would cost approximately
$1200.00 and each parking space for a parking deck would cost approximately $10,000 - $ 12,000
per space not including land acquisition.
After further discussion, motion by Council Member Maness, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Olds to
direct City Planner Neuschafer to pursue option 92 and bring back a cost analysis to the Council
for consideration. Motion unanimously approved.
b. McKay House — 100" block of E. Divine Street - Planner Neuschafer displayed drawings of this
structure. He presented documentation of a rehabilitation agreement by the Historic Preservation
Foundation of North Carolina which places legal measures on how historic properties are restored.
Time frames are imposed as to how long to complete renovations. Discussion was held about the
marketability of this house. A request for proposal could be assembled and distributed to the open
market to explore interest in this property. It would be a better use to put it back into private
hands if the City does not have a use for it. Discussion was held about the advantage of retaining
this property on the existing lot. This property could be renovated for commercial property, and is
not limited to residential use. Discussion was held about converting this structure into a City of
Dunn museum. It could take a couple of years if you give the house to the historic preservation
commission and at the same time put out request for proposals. Further discussion was held about
conveying this property to a non - profit. This property is not in the future space needs of the City.
Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Olds, seconded by Council Member Godwin to direct the Planner and
City Attorney to proceed with exploring the possibility of conveying this property to the N. C.
Preservation Trust and bring backprocedures to the Council for consideration. Motion
unanimously approved.
c. Fisherman's Paradise & Jernigan Parking Lot Property — 223 E. Broad Street - Planner
Neuschafer presented proposed drawings of this property as additional parking and pocket park
with some private partnership. Possible to add as many as 81 parking spaces. Mr. Neuschafer
spoke of grant monies available for pocket parks (downtown vacant parcels- hardscaped landscape)
in a downtown area. He presented drawings from other towns depicting this scenario. Discussion
was held about selling this property and purchasing the adjoining Jernigan Parking Lot. Idea of
selling and reinvesting was discussed or keeping this property to develop green space along with
parking. Discussion was held about the marketability of this property.
197
d. Dunn Civic Center — 200 N. General Lee Avenue - Planner Neuschafer reminded the Council of
the recommendation they received from the Civic Center Committee. Mr. Neuschafer presented
an idea of a drawing preserving the front guard to create a memorial for the National Guard.
Possibility of rehabbing the front two wings of the building to hold civic groups, scouts, etc.
(approx. 5,000 s.f) This would save the facade and still have a usable piece of property. Creating
a proposed amphitheater. Discussion was held about distributing an RFP to developers with (7)
proposed uses as determined by the City. Discussion was held about moving forward with
demolishing the property. Further discussion was held about the monumental value of converting
this property to a memorial structure.
Motion by Council Member Godwin, seconded by Mayor Pro Tene Olds to allow City Engineer
Ed Powell and Planner Neuschafer (60) days to examine the concept proposed to salvage a
portion of the building with the remainder of the property converted to an amphitheater setting
and report cost estimates back to the Council. Motion unanimously approved.
Ordinance and Policy Chanees — Planner Steven Neuschafer
And Manager Ronnie Autry
a. Landscape Ordinance —Planner Neuschafer asked for direction on a proposed landscape
ordinance. Currently there are no buffer requirements between C -O and residential properties.
Discussion was held about the need to develop a landscape ordinance. Developers will only
landscape to the extent they are required.
Council consensus was to direct the City Planner to bring forward a landscape ordinance for
Council consideration.
b. Manual of construction standards and specifications — Manager Autry explained that the City of
Dunn does not currently have a policy in place to provide for standards on construction.
Council consensus was to bring back a policy of construction standards for Council
consideration.
C. Stormwater Ordinance/Policy — The City of Dunn is one of only a few towns that does not have a
stormwater retention policy. Retention ponds are an excellent source for handling stormwater.
Council consensus to proceed with a stormwater policy.
d. Garbage Contract — Number of waste companies competing for garbage collection are decreasing.
Manager Autry asked for direction from the Council with reference to extending the current
contract or to re -bid the contract. If the garbage contract is let for bids, costs will increase.
Renegotiating the current contract will involve only a CPI (consumer price index) increase.
Currently the City of Dunn is paying approximately $5 per household rating versus $6 -
$7 per household costs to re -bid.
Consensus of Council to give the City Manager (30) days to renegotiate with the existing
contractor, Republic Waste Services, on the current contract, compare rates of other waste
companies and bring backfindings to the Council.

Snecial Order by Consent (SOC) and Application
For Clean Water Management Trust
Fund Grant (CWMTFG)
City Engineer Ed Powell updated the Council on the SOC. Issues with sanitary sewer overflows have been
discussed for years. The City of Dunn is at the top of the State's list of violators. The City of Dunn has
been placed under an SOC where the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(NCDENR) forgives the City for past overflows and in return the City will make the equalization facility
become reality. Two methods to implement the 3.5 million dollar equalization project. I" option
CWMTFG — 2n option — secure a 2% low interest loan to fund this facility at a reasonable cost.
In the last year, there has been an uprising by the state of North Carolina, and press about the CWMTFG
not providing money for situations such as Dunn. The chairman and executive director of the CWMTFG
have since been replaced.
He presented a draft SOC which provides for the City of Dunn to implement the project. The City will pay
a $5,000 penalty for past overflows. The SOC provides for the City to continue to grow. 3.74 million is
�i the capacity flow for the City of Dunn. Construction grant and loan application will need to be submitted
in the event that the City is selected for a CWMTFG.
He presented a CWMTFG application for a third attempt by the City of Dunn to obtain a 3.6 million dollar
grant (amount of grant has increased since last application submittal) which will be submitted in the next
month.
He asked that the Council approve the Resolution to execute the SOC and for approval to resubmit another
CWMTF Grant application by March I` for grant funds to construct the equalization system at the Black
River Water Treatment Plant.
In the past, the City has reserved $250,000 for their match in the CWMTF grant. However, to meet the
requirements for this grant at this time, the monthly water bill must equate to 1 %% of the median
household income. For the City of Dunn, the 2006 median household income is approximately $31,000 —
average user currently pays $36.90 /mth; however, the City must implement a 10% increase for the average
user to increase the average user monthly bill to $41.33. Minimum user bills would remain basically the
same. He recommended that the bulk users increase 5 %. When the application is submitted, the City
should agree to implement a rate increase effective July 1, 2007.
He presented a list of the CWMTFG trustees and encouraged they be contacted by members of the Council
about the necessity for the City of Dunn to receive this grant.
Grant award is projected for October, 2007.
Motion by Council Member Galbreath, seconded by Council Member Joey Tart to adopt the resolution to
enter into the SOC application and to authorize the payment of $5, 000. Motion unanimously approved.
A copy of Resolution (R2007 -04) authorizing Mayor Snipes to execute the Special Order by Consent
(SOC) document is incorporated into these minutes as Attachment #1.
Motion by Council Member Joey Tart, seconded by Council Member Godwin to authorize the Mayor and
Clerk to execute the CWMTFG Application. Motion unanimously approved. A copy of Resolution
(82007 -OS) authorizing Mayor Snipes to submit CWMTFG Application is incorporated into these
minutes as Attachment #2.
Motion by Council Member Godwin, seconded by Council Member Maness to authorize the City Engineer
and City Manager to assert to the CWMTFG that the Council will raise the water rates for the high end
user to comply with the guidelines of the CWMTFG. Motion unanimously approved.
199
Discussion was held that an approximate water rate increase of 1 1% for the 5,000 gallon average water user
will be necessary to meet the guidelines of the CWMTFG.
Hieltwav 421 Drainaee Proiect Update
Manager Autry gave the Council an update of this project.
Highway 421 will close beginning February 5, 2007 for the drainage project to proceed across the highway
and will remain closed for approximately three weeks. To replace the gabions across to Divine Street will
increase the project by approximately $200,000. If this project is completed, as bid, the Powell Bill fund
balance will decrease from $650,000 to approximately $200,000.
Price for gabions on both sides of the ditch from Cumberland to Divine - $193.500 quote from the
contractor. Price for box culverts under Divine Street is approximately $250,000.
The Department of Transportation paid additional monies to increase the culvert size under Cumberland
Street (Hwy. 421) which will necessitate a larger culvert under Divine Street.
Discussion was held about the length of time it takes to build the Powell Bill fund balance
Update CBDG Proiect — Economic Development
Harnett Countv— Elevated Water Tank
Ed Powell updated the Council about Harnett County proposing to erect an elevated tank in the Edgerton
Industrial park area. The City of Dunn has a 12" water line going down Highway 301 South toward
Falcon/Godwin to the Cumberland County line.
Harnett County has now proposed that this elevated tank be erected close to Hwy 82. The County has now
revised that this tank would be erected near the Bumpass Creek area which is a long way removed from
where the City of Dunn thought it would be.
Manager Autry and Engineer Powell were informed of this change in location a few weeks ago. Mr. Autry
is trying to arrange another meeting with the Harnett County Public Utilities Director.
Fire Chief Tew stated that from a Fire Department stand - point, this tank should be erected in the Edgerton
Park area and not the Highway 82 area.
The Council discussed that they approved this grant based on information from the County that this tank
would be erected at Edgerton Park.
