The NCDOT November 2014 Transportation board approved the necessary grant funding to clear approximately 9 acres at the RWY 5 end of Harnett Regional Jetport's runway.

Without addressing identified obstructions, the FAA may curtail night takeoff and landing operations on RWY 5 (the predominant runway end) until the sponsor (county) removes obstructions. Airport Administrator requests to present grant application on the December 15th BOC meeting. The grant amount is $245,000 with a 10% local match. The local match will be divided between Capital Reserve ($2,170) and Fund Balance Appropriation ($22,330).

This sometimes makes for a long meeting in the months we have one meeting, but it has worked well. We do not have separate work sessions and we call special meetings if necessary. In Wake, we routinely have 2 regular meetings and 1 special meeting (work session). The work sessions are held to discuss big items that will eventually be on the regular meeting agenda but need some background and more details than have time for in a regular meeting. Work sessions have included topics such as LMEs, Market studies on salaries, changes in health care, etc. and how the county is impacted. We meet the first and third Mondays only unless a need for an additional meeting comes up. We'd love to move to one evening meeting and one morning meeting, but for now we meet at 7pm .
