Mrs. Stewart reminded the group of Harnett County Veteran Services upcoming open house at
their new location. Mrs. Stewart thanked Facilities and Engineering staff for their work on the
renovation. She reminded everyone of the Economic Development golf tournament later in the
week. Mrs. Stewart also said planning is going well for the Wings Over Harnett event scheduled
for October 17, 2015.
Regarding the Highland School Road, Mrs. Stewart said we would need to go back to NCDOT
with a conceptual design if we plan to complete the road which will cost over $600,000. Mrs.
Stewart said they have already had it engineered but do not have approval from NCDOT yet.
Commissioner Miller said the incomplete portion is less than 2000 feet but he believes
completion of the road would eliminate a lot of problems. Emergency Services Director Gary
Pope said there is a big public safety concern if they don't complete the road. Discussions
continued. It was the consensus of the Board to meet with NCDOT to discuss this project along
with other public safety issues including Commissioner McKoy's concern regarding a daycare
center entrance off of Hwy 401.
Commissioners and Emergency Services staff talked about private dirt roads throughout the
county that are in such bad shape emergency service vehicles are unable to travel them to reach
citizens.
Chairman Burgin called for any new business. Chairman Burgin said he recently attended a
NCACC Board meeting where he had an opportunity to talk to NCHHS Secretary Rick Brajer.
Chairman Burgin said Secretary Brajer is aware of the issues with NC FAST and application
back logs that counties face and is really concerned about the state meeting the 95% requirement.
He said he has invited Secretary Brajer to visit Harnett County. Mrs. Stewart noted Harnett
County DSS staff recently met with General Assembly staff. She said our cases were down to
2,900 at the end of September.
Chairman Burgin also reported that the State Health Coordinating Council is meeting later this
week and will be considering approval of the linear accelerator and the cardiac catheter with
stints. He said if approved it would be put in to the state health plan and "they" could actually
make application. Chairman Burgin also announced that Dan Weatherly has resigned from
Harnett Health and wished him luck and success.
