Gordon Springle, Chairman Howard Penny, Jr., Vice Chairman Abe Elmore Barbara McKoy Joe Miller Gina Wheeler, Clerk to the Board PO Box 759 102 E. front Street Lillington, NC 27546 Ms. Dye, lam writing to notify you that following the April 9, 2019, presentation of the "Mid- Carolina Council of Governments Study and Recommendations" from McGill Associates, the Hamett County Board of Commissioners has voted to remain a member of the Mid-Carolina Council of Governments, and to work with the Council and our government partners within the Council to reinvigorate the Mid-Carolina Council of Governments to provide additional and enhanced services for our citizens. We support "Option 3" as presented in the report from McGill, which "preserves the Mid-Carolina COG through intensive strategic planning and commitment by the local governments to plan implementation." We also agree with the recommendations the study makes to reinvigorate the Mid-Carolina Council of Governments including developing a strategic plan to guide this process, strengthening the role of the Mid-Carolina COG Board, recruiting a skilled executive director, implement performance measures based on the strategic plan, and revising the Joint Operations Agreement and Bylaws of the Mid-Carolina COG. ph: 910-893-7555 fax: 910-814-2662 We believe the opportunities as so ciated with reinvigorating the Mid-Carolina COG would provide substantial benefits for the citizens of Hamett County, as well as for our County's municipalities that are members of the Mid-Carolina COG. We look forward to engaging in this process and working with our partners for the benefit of all of our citizens.

March 20, 2019 041519a HCBOC Page 38 041519a HCBOC Page 39 m~~1H -------------------S~h,aping Communities Together BACKGROUND McGill Associates was engaged by the Mid-Carolina Council of Governments (MCCOG) to evaluate the most effective arrangements for the Counties of Cumberland, Harnett and Sampson and the cities and towns in those counties to participate in a Council of Governments (COG). Some County representatives view the current membership in the Mid-Carolina Council of Governments (MCCOG) to be not as beneficial as it had previously been and feel participation in another COG could be more advantageous or that the MCCOG could be made more effective, making a COG membership change unnecessary . Through this scope of work, McGill Associates examined the current operation of the Mid- Carolina Council of Governments and how it could be more effective for its members. McGill also examined possible participation in other Councils of Government , either with all three participating in the same COG or in different COGs. The alternatives of improving the existing arrangement or other configurations was evaluated and compared. The study was conducted by the Consulting Services Division of McGill. The study was led by the Director, Jim Bourey. Jim has had a long public and private sector professional career, performing in a number of leadership roles and in a number of regions in the country. He served as a City Manager, County Administrator, Planning Director and Regional Council Executive Director in a number of states and currently lives in North Carolina. Joining Jim on the project team were Richard Smith who worked as a Planning Director as well as the majority owner of a planning consulting firm. Karen Kiehna. who worked for decades in Councils of Government, and Robert Hyatt and Gary Jackson, long time managers with cities and counties in North Carolina. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This study was initiated by the Board of the Mid-Carolina Council of Governments. It was motivated by dissatisfaction with the performance of the organization in fulfilling its mission to effectively and efficiently serve its member counties and municipalities . Initial discussions of purpose and scope began in November 2018, and a contract for the work was executed between MCCOG and McGill Associates in December 2018. The scope of work included review of the current state, analysis of alternative approaches, identification of services most desired by members, and development of recommendations for the best future service delivery model. A key element of the McGill approach was to reach out to stakeholders, seek their input, and apply it in the development of recommendations. Our major findings were as follows: 1. Current State -The MCCOG organization was significantly underperforming in terms of executive leadership and underperforming in delivering the depth and breadth of services expected by their membership, and when compared to the norm for COGs. Page 1 of 10 041519a HCBOC Page 40 2. Service Delivery -The MC COG offered far fewer member services than the norm for North Carolina COGs . In addition to providing traditional services such as aging and transportation planning and planning administration services , other North Carolina COGs also provide a broader array of traditional services such as workforce development, mapping and data (GIS), and convening of leaders for collaborative planning and problem solving . More importantly, other regional councils also provide customized services emerging from member demand, including administrative , financial , human resources, emergency preparedness/responses , etc. McGill's analysis confirmed that the three neighboring COGs were performing well in delivering both traditional and customized services . 3. Services Demand -Members preferred to continue MCCOG administration of aging services grants and the rural transportation planning organization (RPO) and planning for smaller communities . Members indicated a strong desire for expanded service delivery, including but not limited to convening elected and appointed officials , training professional staff, providing reliable data and GIS, workforce development and writing grant applications for member counties and municipalities. 4 . Alternative Approaches -For both procedural and practical reasons . merger of the MCCOG with an adjoining COG would be the most difficult alternative to achieve . From simply a procedural standpoint , a more feasible alternative approach would be to disband the MCCOG and open the door for individual counties to apply for membership with adjoining COGs . 5 . Recommended Approach -The preference of stakeholders was to reinvigorate the MCCOG . McGill recommends an inclusive process to develop a strategic plan for the reinvigoration of the MCCOG . We feel this should be led by an outs i de expert skilled in developing strategic plans and knowledgeable in organizational management and regional council operations . McGill also strongly recommends: (a) recruitment of an executive director capable of leading the turnaround, and (b) strengthening of the role and oversight of the board of directors, (c) establishing a multi-year action/performance plan with clear and measurable goals, and (d) committing the organization to a culture of continuous improvement in service to its members _ OUR APPROACH To compare structures and services , McGill gathered relevant information on trends and best practices for COGs and conducted interviews of designated county representatives and met with the executive directors of other Councils of Government. The work plan included the following steps : • Review of the Mid-Carolina Council of Governments organizational structure , meetings , services , work program, budget and staffing. This entailed review of available documents and interviews with COG staff and with elected officials and staff from the participating counties, cities and towns . • Comparison of the services of the Mid-Carolina COG with the services of other North Carolina COGs, particularly those adjacent to the three counties . • Review of the demographics and challenges facing the three counties and a comparison with other counties in the surrounding area . This examined the similarities and dissimilarities of the three counties and the surrounding counties in the region . • Identification of the most appropriate and desirable services that could be provided to the three counites and municipalities by a COG. Page 2 of 10 041519a HCBOC Page 41 • Identification of the best potential alternate COG options for the three counties as well as the cities and towns in the counties , assessment of how to modify the Mid-Carolina COG arrangement to more effectively serve the interests of the three counties , and analysis of the alternative arrangements to identify the best COG arrangement to serve the three counties . STRUCTURE AND SERVICES REVIEW McGill found it necessary to gather an extensive amount of information and to conduct numerous interviews for purposes of comparing the structure and services of the Mid-Carolina COG with the three surrounding COGs -Triangle J (T JCOG), Eastern Carolina (ECCOG), and Lumber River (LRCOG). Our review included examination of the following documents : • Published annual reports of the various COGs • Adopted annual budgets and financial reports • Web pages, biogs and other internet offerings • University of North Carolina School of Government reports • Materials made available by the Association of North Carolina Councils of Government • COG bylaws and relevant state statutes • Other documentation sources In terms of structure , the numbers of local governments served by COGs in North Carolina varies significantly . Populations served, staffing, budgets and services also vary from one region to another. The four COGs which are the focus of this study are no exception . The numbers in this case range from a low of three (3) counties and twenty-one (21) municipalities participating in the Mid-Carolina COG to highs of nine (9) counties and sixty-two (62) municipalities in the Eastern Carolina COG . Lumber River COG has five (5) participating counties and thirty-six (36) mun icipalities . The Mid-Carolina COG lists ten (10) staff members in their $4.8 million budget for FY2018. This compares with twelve (12) staff and a $5.5 million budget for Eastern Carolina , twenty-six (26) staff members and a $12 .9 million budget for Lumber River COG, and a staff of thirty-two (32) and a $13 .1 million budget for the Triangle J COG . For North Carolina Councils of Government, federal dollars account for the vast majority of operating revenues . This is true in the case of the four COGs which were reviewed as part of this study . The largest single revenue source for each entity is the federal Home and Community Care Block Grant. A comparison of revenue sources revealed that Mid-Carolina COG had the lowest dues rate per capita of the four COGs studied . MCCOG dues are $0 .24 per capita for municipalities and $0 .27 per capita for counties, with counties only paying for the unincorporated area population. The LRCOG dues rate is $0 .33 per capita for each member government. The ECCOG dues are $0 .353 per capita on each member government. The T JCOG dues are $0.39 per capita for governments with populations less than 150 ,000 , and $0 .20 per capita for governments with populations of 150,000 or more. McGill also compared the board structures of the COGs . Three of the COGs (T JCOG, LRGOG , and MCCOG) provide for an elected representative for each member government. Lumber River COG, while providing for one elected official for each member government, granted the ability for members to appoint an alternate . In contrast , the Eastern Carolina COG structure Page 3 of 10 041519a HCBOC Page 42 provided for elected officials to fill 80% of the board seats, appointed officials to fill 10%, and private sector representatives to fill the remaining 10% of board seats. The trend in the past decade is for Councils of Government to expand and diversify services. According to the 2018 survey conducted by the North Carolina School of Government. the number of services provided by COGs statewide has increased. The current array of services provided generally fall into four categories : planning services, technical assistance, geographic information service (GIS), and help with federal and/or state grants and program administration . Consistent with the statewide trends , the three COGs surrounding the Mid-Carolina COG have consistently been expanding services, especially in areas of workforce development , planning services, grant writing, training and fostering regional collaboration . In contrast, the services of the Mid-Carolina COG have decreased dramatically during the past number of years. Please see Attachment A for further comparisons of structures and services. COUNTY DEMOGRAPHICS AND TRENDS ANALYSIS In consideration of alternative arrangements for providing COG services to the region, McGill examined demographic factors and trends for similarities and differences between and among Sampson, Harnett and Cumberland counties . The county comparisons are compiled and presented in Attachment B. The most obvious differences are in overall county population and the relative degree of urbanization within each county. According to the North Carolina Department of Commerce, only 15% of Sampson County's estimated population of 64,000 reside in urbanized areas . Harnett County has a population estimated at 131,000, with 44% of the population living in urbanized areas of the county . Finally, an overwhelming percentage 87% of Cumberland County's 329,000 population reside in urbanized areas. The economic data varies from county to county . The Sampson County median family income level of about $42,000/year is significantly lower than the $51-52,000/year levels for Harnett and Cumberland respectively . Median housing values differ significantly . The median housing value in Harnett County is $140,800, in Cumberland County is $129,000, and in Sampson County is $87,900. The mix of leading industries for Cumberland and Harnett are quite similar, with Retail, Health/Social Services, Hospitality, and Food representing the four largest employment sectors . In contrast, Sampson County's leading industries are manufacturing and agriculture, followed well behind by retail. Fort Bragg remains a key economic engine for all three counties , with salaries, supplies and service expenditures driving direct, indirect and induced economic impacts. An emerging economic influence on residential development in Harnett County is employment growth in the Raleigh/Research Triangle region . With anticipated transportation improvements. the connection between Harnett and the Triangle area is expected to strengthen . Likewise , North Carolina Highway 24 improvements will also improve the commute from Sampson to the Cumberland/Fayetteville employment centers. IMPROVEMENT OPTIONS To determine the options for best serving the regional interests of Sampson , Harnett and Cumberland counties and their localities, McGill reviewed the enabling statute for North Carolina Councils of Government (North Carolina GS 160A-474) and reviewed the by-laws of the MCCOG . Meetings were also held with the executive directors of Eastern Carolina , Lumber River and Triangle J COGs to discuss receptivity and practical considerations. Additionally, McGill sought historical perspective and advice from staff with the state association of COGs . Page 4 of 10 041519a HCBOC Page 43 The fundamental mission of councils of governments is to provide creative regional solutions to relevant and emerg i ng issues l n thei r specific regions . The sixteen regional councils in North Carolina serve their member governments through both a traditional range of services and a range of customized services . Traditlonal services include the delivery of aging , transportation, workforce development, community planning -GIS mapping services, and convening of regional leaders for collaborative problem solving. As noted on the web site of the North Carolina Association of Regional Councils of Government. "A more robust range of services has emerged through member demand for administrative and financial services , interim executive management, financial administration , human services program delivery and economic development." Regional councils are capable of assisting counties and municipalities in many ways . However, in a 2018 survey, the North Carolina School of Government discovered stakeholders perceive wide variation in quality across the sixteen North Carolina COGs . Other themes which emerged from the North Carolina School of Government interviews are summarized below: • Regional councils have a unique and strong understanding of their regions. • High value placed on COGs role (or potential role) as regional convener. • The role or value-add of regional councils is not always clear to stakeholders. • Regional councils need to do a better job of demonstrating their value and telling their story. • Regionalism is extremely important now, but times are very different now than they were when COGs were created. It is time for COGs to be more adaptive or responsive to current needs and reinvent themselves. • They provide a lot of value in specific services that meet needs of member governments. Based on our research , the options available are as follows : Option 1. Merge the Mid-Carolina COG with one of the adjacent COGs • In this option , the local governments in the Mid-Carolina region collectively decide to merge with one of the adjacent COGs. • Staff of the Mid-Carolina COG could be merged with the staff of the other COG. • Requires both COG boards to agree to the merging of assets . Some negotiation of terms may be required. The previous merger of the Northwest Piedmont COG and Piedmont Triad COG into the newly formed Piedmont Triad Regional Council serves as a precedent and example to consider. • The RPO housed in Mid-Carolina could be moved to the merged COG with two RPOs housed in the same COG or the RPO could be merged with the RPO in the other COG . • Area Agency on Aging (AAA) funds would be combined with the newly merged COG with one AAA director . • This is potentially the most difficult option because it requires the local governments in the Mid-Carolina COG to act in unison and to all join/merge with the same existing COG {TJCOG or LRCOG). Option 2. Dissolve Mid-Carolina COG and local governments independently join an adjacent COG • In this option, each local government would choose which COG to join. Depending upon the local government, Eastern Carolina COG (ECCOG), Lumber River COG (LRCOG) and Triangle J COG (T JCOG) appear to be the logical options. Page 5 of 10 041519a HCBOC Page 44 • The regions of the adjacent COGs would be expanded if and when Mid -Carolina COG local governments join their new COG . • The RPO housed in Mid-Carolina could be moved to one of the adjacent COGs or it could be dissolved , and the local governments jo in the RPO or MPO in the Lumber River or Triangle J COG . • AAA funds d istributed to the Mid-Carolina COG would be proportionally distributed (based on state wide formula) to the adjacent COGs based on new alignments . • Most or all current Mid-Carolina COG staff could be absorbed and employed by adjacent COGs. • State law (North Carolina GS 160A-474) requires action by May 1s1 to withdraw from a COG for an effective date of July P 1. Option 3. Reinvigorate the Mid-Carolina COG • This option preserves the Mid-Carolina COG through intensive strategic planning and commitment by the local governments to plan implementation. • The strategic planning process would address governance structure (bylaws/charter), services goals, and resource requirements from dues, fees and grant sources . • The product of the strategic planning process would be a multi-year action plan with clear and measurable goals . • After completion of the strategic plan , reinvigorating the organization would start with hiring a new, dynamic and skilled executive director to lead the organization in achievement of the performance goals outlined in the strategic plan. • In addition to competent executive leadership, re-establishing the Mid-Carolina COG as a respected , innovative service provider would require the active involvement , direction and support of the elected board members. COG EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR INTERVIEWS McGill sought the perspectives of executive directors serving the Triangle J, Lumber River, Eastern Carolina, and Mid-Carolina COGs . We asked for the views of the executive directors on the possibilities for serving counties currently served by Mid -Carolina COG . Highlights from McGill notes taken at those meetings are as follows: A. Lumber River COG, David Richardson, Executive Director Open to conversation but not sure where it will lead. Believe the MCCOG RPO could transfer/merge easily. LRCOG could expand planning services. LRCOG works hard to meet needs of members, especially smaller towns . LRCOG works to provide training programs ... arranges regular meetings of city managers. B. Triangle J COG, Lee Worley, Executive Director Harnett County already uses some of T JCOG services and would be welcomed as a member. Harnett asked T JCOG to run a housing program as well as other services. Town of Angier (partially in Wake County) is already a member. TJCOG is also coordinating a water resources study for Cumberland County. Cumberland and Sampson are not naturally in the TJCOG area; big question for Cumberland is what region they want to be a part of moving forward. Page 6 of 10 041519a HCBOC Page 45 Emphasized that TJCOG would expect Fayetteville to join if Cumberland sought to become a member. Provided some services for the City of Fayetteville Police Department C. East Carolina, Jay Bender, Interim Executive Director ECCOG is advertising for a new executive director. Aging services is the biggest and best ECCOG service . ECCOG is very strong in transportation planning -2 RPOs administered. Several others in area are not administered by ECCOG. It may cost the ECCOG money/time in restructuring the board and services to accommodate a new member(s). Regarding Sampson specifically joining, Clinton and other towns are a long way off from (COG offices in) New Bern . D. Mid-Carolina COG, Glenda Dye, Interim Executive Director (accompanied by other staff members) Services are fairly even across ail three counties. MCCOG hasn't held regional meetings for years, she believed it stopped in 2009. Previous Executive Director did not reach out to the local government members. Services were scaled back, when it started is uncertain, but many years ago ... not sure about what could be provided as additional services or what jurisdictions would be willing to fund. Senior games are a large activity coordinated by MCOG staff; aging services is heavily involved in the community. Aging Services Director sees potential to partner with health care agencies as a new revenue source. STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS McGill met with elected and appointed officials from the MCCOG member counties and municipalities. The purpose of the interviews was to learn the views of stakeholders on the current state of the MCCOG, learn the services most desired by stakeholders, and to learn member preferences for moving forward . Following are highlights from notes taken at these meetings: A. Views on the Current State Disappointed in the current limited scope of services. Think they (staff) are good people, but they were let down by executive leadership . Eight years ago, quality, expertise and variety of services being offered started to decline . MCCOG staff did not help when I called upon them . Experience with grant data support was poor. Not much on their web site. Experience with other COGs is they offer much more, especially with transportation. Not aware of what they do other than aging services and planning for Sampson County towns. Only services now being provided are aging grant administration and coordination of RPO/transportation . MCCOG was once involved in planning and workforce development, but that is no longer the case. The COG should be out communicating about its services, but all members ever heard about was aging services and senior games. Page 7 of 10 041519a HCBOC Page 46 B. Services Desired Have a grant writer to assist the members. Grant writing, identification of new funding sources . Assist with identifying, applying and administering grants. Bring communities together to discuss regional issues. Provide reliable data bases . Being a clearinghouse for resources . C. Preferred Action Would like to see MCCOG remain if can be improved to provide services . Since dues as is may not be able to support more services, the towns wanting more services will have to pay for them. Concerned about limited attention if merged with larger COG. Concerned about travel distances with merging. Also, concerned about unfavorable dues structure should (Triangle J or Lumber River) COGs require Cumberland to pay for Fayetteville or expect Fayetteville to join . Need for discussion at the Mayor's coalition. RECOMMENDATIONS Since this study originated from MCCOG Board Members' dissatisfaction with the status quo, McGill gave priority to the feedback received during stakeholder interviews. Stakeholders were either disappointed in the limited scope of MCCOG services or unfamiliar with the service mix entirely. Our analysis confirmed that the service mix of the MCCOG is now more limited than before. A decade ago, the MCCOG services more closely resembled the typical array of COG services you would expect to find, including regional meetings of elected and appointed officials to collaborate and the provision of more regional planning services and workforce development. This culture of disengagement and retrenchment contrasts with the apparent responsiveness and adaptivity of the adjoining COGs -Lumber River, Triangle J, and Eastern Carolina . The most important piece of stakeholder feedback that McGill received is the prevalent desire to retain the MCCOG, if it can be reinvigorated to provide the services desired by its members. While there is obvious disappointment with the limited scope of services, the decline was almost solely attributed to the failures of executive leadership. McGill believes this factor alone would be sufficient cause alone to consider retaining the present structure over dissolution and merger options. Additionally , there are other causes for concerns with the options of dissolving the MCCOG and/or members leaving to join another COG. First , there is the disadvantage of accepting long distances to COG functions . Board appointees and other interested elected and appointed officials would lose time and (potentially} interest if long distances had to be regularly navigated to participate in COG functions . Second, while a new COG would likely be immediately attentive to a joining member, over time there is the risk of this initial enthusiasm waning . Third, there is the concern with simply having more limited influence with joining a larger, more distant COG office. This concern is especially true for the smaller cities and towns. Finally, regional identity is now more important than ever before. It would be most beneficial to all local governments in the Mid-Carolina region to unite and collaborate on common interests such as planning , transportation, economic development, climate adaptation and emergency preparedness . The region has a unique economy and personal ity, presenting both unique challenges and opportunities . These challenges and opportunities would most effectively be addressed by local leaders joining in a unified effort. Page 8 of 10 041519a HCBOC Page 47 Taking all available information into consideration, McGill recommends a series of steps be undertaken to reinvigorate the Mid-Carolina Council of Governments : 1. Develop a Strategic Plan for Reinvigoration - A strategic planning process is recommended in order to reconnect the MCCOG organization with its member governments and its mission . Strategic planning is about determining what's most important for an organization to do and the best way to get it done. For MCCOG, McGill recommends an inclusive process to involve all member jurisdictions in review of the services desired and the sources and levels of resources necessary to successfully deliver those services. We also recommend an outreach to the City of Fayetteville to encourage them to rejoin MCCOG. McGill would be available to provide the highly recommended, professional facilitation which is key for a successful strategic planning process . The scope of these services would include preparation in advance of a work session, facilitation at the work session. and documentation of decisions and action items resulting from the work session. 2. Strengthen the Role of the MCCOG Board -The board's role is overseeing strategic direction, organizational effectiveness, and the performance of its executive director. Essential to creating a reinvigorated MCCOG is creating an effective board, one which is in agreement and is in alignment on where the board wants the organization to go. This point underscores the importance, at the outset, of a successful strategic planning process . Thereafter. preferably on an annual basis , an effective board of directors would meeUretreat to evaluate both the progress of the organization in achieving pre- established goals and to evaluate the board's own effectiveness. An annual retreat, early in 2020, is recommended for this purpose. 3 . Recruit a Skilled Executive Director - A high performance MCCOG will require a skilled Executive Director. The requirements of the position dictate that the person selected be a transformational leader, one who possesses special leadership, management and communication skills . McGill recommends special emphasis in the selection process on finding an Executive Director capable of leading the staff/organization through the desired transformation. Likewise, it is equally important that the next Executive Director be capable of establishing and sustaining exceptional, ongoing communications with the member jurisdictions. 4 . Performance Management -It will be challenging to keep the turnaround efforts on track . To support the efforts. McGill recommends format adoption of the vision and action plans resulting from the strategic planning process. The Executive Director and MCCOG staff should be tasked with tracking progress and producing a quarterly report to the Board . An annual report should also be produced for review at an annual planning session/retreat of the Board. Additionally , McGill recommends that Executive Board be charged with evaluating the Executive Director, initially at six months after hiring and thereafter on an annual basis. The purpose of the evaluation is to give constructive feedback as necessary for the Executive Director and the organization to perform at their full potential. It also gives the Executive Director an opportunity to inform the Board of support needed from the Board (policy direction, resources , etc.) in order for the potential to be achieved. 5. Revision of Joint Operations Agreement and Bylaws of the Mid Carolina Council of Government (MCCOG) -It is always an advisable and a healthy process to routinely review all operations agreements and bylaws of any organization, as laws change , times change, and the needs of the organization change . In our review, we noted that the original joint operational agreement and bylaws , while serving their initial purpose in creating the MCCOG. have not been reviewed and revised consistently by the entire membership for quite some time. As our study revealed, the current joint agreement and the bylaws are inconsistent. vague, and quite ambiguous with each other, thereby Page 9 of 10 041519a HCBOC Page 48 lending themselves to multiple interpretations and possibly to meritorious and legal challenge. Accordingly, it is our recommendation that both documents should be modified to ensure compliance with the North Carolina General Statutes and the overall will of each of the participating governing bodies and the MCCOG Board as a whole . Such obvious things that we noted for serious future consideration in these documents should be : • The selection, replacement and removal process of the Board members . • The term limits of the Board members. • The duties, powers and liabilities of the Board members and the participating localities . • The appointment , hiring and termination process of the Executive Director and any other staff of the MCCOG. • The specifically defined job descriptions for the Executive Director and any staff member setting forth their respective powers , duties and responsibilities and to whom they ultimately report to. • The annual review process of the Executive Director and staff. • The specifics to be contained within the annual report of the Board to each of the participating localities . • The requirement of an annual financial report and audit of the MCCOG and the dates upon which each are to be submitted to the Board and the respective participating localities . • A clear and concise annual budgetary process for the MCCOG . • A clear and consistent membership contribution charge or calculation process of each of the MCCOG members . • A clearly defined method of how to amend the agreement and bylaws in the future. • A clearly defined method and procedure for the dissolution, termination or merger procedure of the MCCOG . While this is a condensed list of the observations that McGill noted from its review process and discussions with the MCCOG members, this is a serious topic that should be reviewed thoroughly on an annual basis. These documents govern the legal standing to be able to operate, and accordingly their review and amendments should be a first priority in moving the organization to a healthy and prosperous future .

By targeting low-income neighborhoods, working with local leaders to build neighborhood engagement and buy-in , and conducting energy assessments, energy-saving improvements, and participant education at no cost , the program is able to upgrade hundreds of homes in a cost-and time-efficient manner while reducing carbon pollution. Duke Energy, an electric and natural gas utility serving customers in the Southeast and Midwest, uses census and other data to identify low-income neighborhoods of approximately 1,000 homes. Program representatives then work with local leaders in interested neighborhoods to hold community events that explain the upgrade process and its benefits . Over the next 8-10 weeks, Duke Energy contractors conduct walk-through home energy assessments , install up to 20 energy-saving improvements in each participating home, and educate households about ways to further improve energy efficiency , all at no cost to participants. Fast Facts Program scope: A neighborhood- scale utility energy efficiency program for low-income households. Communities served: Low-income homeowners and tenants in individually metered residential buildings in pre-selected, census- defined neighborhoods. Funding: Utility ratepayers . Key partners : City and county governments, private and public organizations such as community groups and assistance agencies. Promising practices: Eliminate/reduce up-front costs, partner with trusted organizations. The program's free upgrades eliminate the barrier of up-front costs, and its focus on partnering with community leaders to build neighborhood engagement and buy-in overcomes common trust concerns associated with utility-sponsored programs . These tactics have led to an average 70 percent participation rate in neighborhoods served by the program. During its first decade (2006-2016), the program served more than 95 ,000 households in 156 communities, resulting in more than 218,000 megawatt-hours (MWh) of energy savings and avoiding 153,000 metric tons of CO~quivalent to the annual energy-related emissions from more than 16 ,000 average U.S. homes.1 The installed energy-efficiency measures generally save around $100 per year for a typical single-family home,2 representing a seven percent savings on an average annual electricity bill.3 &EPA Energy Effic iency and Renewable Energy in Low -Income Communities 1 041519a HCBOC Page 60 Making It Happen A Duke Energy subsidiary piloted the Neighborhood Energy Saver Program in 2006 in Florida, designing it to expand the reach of its existing Low-Income Weatherization Assistance Program. Low-income communities were an underserved segment of the utility's customer base; many low-income residents could not afford the measures needed to make their energy bills more manageable. The utility's existing weatherization program was helpful, but not all low-income customers were eligible for or interested in in-depth weatherization services. The new pilot used a streamlined, neighborhood "blitz" to reach a larger number of low-income residents with cost- effective and convenient energy efficiency services. Crafting a Neighborhood Approach The developers of the Neighborhood Energy Saver Program use census and state income data to identify neighborhoods with large numbers of low-income households. The program defines low-income neighborhoods as those in which at least 50 percent of the residents live below 200 percent of the federal poverty level. After identifying a promising location (one that meets the income criteria and has local leaders interested in participating), program staff meet with community leaders to explore the program , build support, and ask for help in publicizing the program . They also canvass each neighborhood to solicit participants, walking door-to-door to explain the program and how it will benefit residents . This personalized approach helps gain the trust of the neighborhood and increase interest in the program. Program staff provide additional opportunities to learn about the program, including sending individual letters to residents inviting them to join an evening event with local leaders and Duke Energy representatives . At the event , residents can speak with energy specialists to ask questions and discuss any concerns they may have. To make attendance as convenient as possible, staff leave reminders on residents' doors before the event and provide a free dinner at the event. After the event, Duke Energy offers to have an energy specialist come to residents ' homes to identify energy efficiency opportunities and install improvements free of charge . Some of the 16-20 products and services provided during the assessment include: • water heating upgrades, including a water heater temperature check and adjustment, insulation for the water heater and pipes, faucet aerators, and low-flow showerheads; Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy in Low-Income Communities I 2 041519a HCBOC Page 61 • refrigerator efficiency improvements, including cleaning refrigerator coils and installing refrigerator thermometers; • space conditioning improvements, including wall plate thermometers, filters and filter- change calendars; door sweeps, caulking, foam insulation, and weather stripping. In 2016, Duke Energy added air-conditioning maintenance, duct sealing, and attic insulation to its program in Florida; and • seven compact fluorescent light bulbs, one LED light, and a calendar with energy-saving tips for each month of the year . Duke Energy uses the walk-through assessments to educate participants about the upgrades as they are being made and inform them of behavior changes they can make to conserve energy (e.g ., adjusting thermostats when they're not at home, turning off lights when rooms are not in use). Duke Energy's approach includes coordinating with local weatherization agencies and other community organizations to connect households to services that can help them make further improvements. Duke Energy contractors usually spend about 8-10 weeks in each neighborhood , providing plenty of opportunities for customers to participate in the program. The program makes special efforts to accommodate the schedules of working people: participants can request home visits to be performed during or after business hours, and on weekends, and the home visits (including the walk-through assessment and installation of improvements) usually take no longer than one hour. The visits generate interest and boost participation in the neighborhood as residents watch upgrades being performed to their neighbors' homes. From Pilot to Full-Scale Program The program 's success in Florida encouraged additional Duke Energy subsidiaries in North Carolina , South Carolina, Ohio, and Kentucky to adopt it in 2013, followed by Indiana in 2014. By 2016 , the Neighborhood Energy Saver Program had grown to serve about 21,000 homes per year across all participating Duke Energy companies. Each utility's program offerings and requirements differ slightly, though the general program services are the same. Duke Energy's efforts to communicate early and often, build trust through face-to-face contact, and emphasize convenience led to an average participation of 70 percent in the neighborhoods served by the Neighborhood Energy Saver Program. Energy Eff1c1ency and Renewable Energy 1n Low-Income Commurnt1es I 3 041519a HCBOC Page 62 Key Partners Each subsidiary's program has its own key partners, including city and county governments, private and public organizations, and community action agencies, which mainly help with o utreach and engagement. For example, when implementing the Neighborhood Energy Saver Program in Eustis, Florida , Duke Energy partnered with the City of Eustis, the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity, the Lake Community Action Agency, the Eustis Housing Authority , and the Bates Avenue Improvement Council.4 In one neighborhood in Orlando, Florida , Duke Energy partnered with the Department of Economic Opportunity's Weatherization Assistance Program and the Orange County government. Partnering with trusted community members such as local government officials and nonprofit o rganizations has been instrumental in building support for the program in the communities it serves. Duke Energy also partners with agencies that provide supplementary energy services to the residents of the neighborhoods selected for upgrades: for example, it invites local weatherization agencies to neighborhood kickoff events, asks for their help in promoting the program, and helps them connect with eligible households about their weatherization services. Funding Sources Funding for the program comes from ratepayers, typically in the form of energy efficiency- demand s ide management charges that cover costs for the utility 's full portfolio of energy-saving programs offered to customers. Achievements Low-income partici pants in Duke Energy's Neighborhood Energy Saver Program benefit from lower energy bills and a greater awareness of how they can keep energy costs down , wh ile Duke Energy benefits from reduced peak demand and reduced risk of arrearages among its low-income customers. Other accomplishments include : • Particip ants in the program have saved a total of more than 218,000 MWh of electri city and avoided more than 153,000 metric tons of COz--equivalent to the annual energy- related emissions from more than 16,000 average U.S . homes.1 Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy in Low-I ncome Communities I 4 041519a HCBOC Page 63 • In 2016, over 21,000 households participated in the program, saving more than 13,000 MWh annually. 2 • Households typically save an average of $100/year from the upgrades, representing a seven percent savings on the average electricity bill. 3 • Since its inception, the program has served more than 95,000 homes across 156 communities in Florida , Indiana , Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio, and South Carolina.2 Replicability In addition to replication among Duke Energy's subsidiaries, several utilities around the country have replicated Duke Energy's approach of using census data to identify low-income neighborhoods in which to perform an energy upgrade blitz, including Jacksonville Electric Authority, the municipal utility for Jacksonville , Florida ; and DTE Energy, a Detroit-based electric and natural gas utility. (See EPA's profile of DTE Energy in the Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy in Low Income Communities series for more information.) Duke Energy's focus on engaging local government officials and community leaders early on and conducting personalized outreach to residents are other key elements of the program that could be replicated by utilities and other organizations.

CCPT was established in 1991 in North Carolina, as a response to the increased numbers of children being reported as abused, neglected or dependent in NC. Community Child Protection Teams were established to add a community dimension to child protection. The Community Child Protection Team is an interdisciplinary group of community representatives who meet to promote a community-wide approach to the problem of child abuse, neglect and dependency. The duties and responsibilities of the CCPT were adopted as North Carolina Administrative Code 411.0400. The original purpose and composition of CCPTs was further formalized and expanded by G.S. 78 1406, effective July 1, 1993 . In 1997, North Carolina designated CCPTs a s Citizen Review panels, which were required by the Child Abuse Prevention Act (CAPT A). Hamett County 's CCPT reviews active cases involving child abus e, neglect or dependency to identify any gaps in services for the family and/or identifies any barriers to child protection. The Harnett County CCPT also reviews any cases that involve a child that has died as a result of suspected abuse, neglect or dependency and the case is currently open for DSS Child Welfare Services or the child or the child 's family received child welfare services within the twelve months prior to the death. We meet in conjunction with the Hamett C ounty Child Fatality Prevention Team (CFPT), which is a program administered through the Harnett County Department of Public Health. The primary purpose of the local Child Fatality Prevention Team is to review the deaths of children ages 0-17, identify the causes of child deaths, identify gaps or deficiencies that may exist in order to improve the delivery of services to children and families and make and carry out recommendations for changes that could prevent future deaths. The meetings are held at the Hamett County Department of Public Hea lth quarterl y. We met on March 1, June 7, September 6 and December 6 , 2018.The meetings were well attended.

Paula Stewart Harnett County Manager PO Box 759 Lillington, NC 27546 Dear Ms. Stewart: During its March 12th meeting, the Sandhills Center Board of Directors discussed the issue of our County General Budget Request from our nine (9) constituent counties for FY 19 -20. Based on a review of the current fiscal situation that impacts our State and counties, it was decided that the Center would not request an increase in County General Funding from Harnett County. This continues our practice of not requesting an increase for the past 15 years. Importantly, all county funding received is directed in support of local County Behavioral Health Urgent Care Centers and other county designated services/programs. FY 18 -19 Current County General Allocation: FY 19 -2 0 Funding Request • County General Request: • Total FY 19 -20 County General Request: Note: See Attached County General Funding Chart. $199,679 $199,679 $199,679 Since beginning the management of Medicaid service dollars in December 2012, Sandhills Center has realized savings and has made a commitment to reinvest those s avi ngs in the community. During the past year, Sandhills Center has worked with county and community representatives from each of our nine (9) constituent counties to identify high priority needs and projects at the county level. We have been able to reallocate local funds and commit LME/MCO reinvestment savings to numerous projects in each of our counties. Sandhills Center staff and I will continue to meet with County Managers and others to review the use of current county allocations and to identify behavioral health service areas in the county that may have been underserved and identify how available funding could be used to impact those areas. We will be working with the Clerk to the Board to schedule an opportunity to present a program update and the budget request to your County Commissioners within the next few months. P.O.

Since 2012, we have seen an array of system improvements which have translated into expanded community services and a strengthened network of service providers . Through our commitment to quality, evidence-based practices and fiscal prudence, we have positioned Sandhills Center to operate a successful Local Management Entity (LME)-MCO for people living within Anson , Guilford , Harnett, Hoke, Lee, Montgomery, Moore, Randolph and Richmond counties . In 2018, we celebrated a number of achievements. We have engaged and encouraged a representative provider network, responded to identified service needs, and broadened relationships with stakeholders that focus on increasing access and elevating behavioral healthcare standards. As we reflect on 2018 and look ahead to the new year, Sandhills Center is grateful to our members and families, provider network, state and local leaders, and the residents of the region for their continued support. We especially appreciate the dedication of our Board of Directors, the guidance we receive from the Consumer & Family Advisory Committe, and the commitment of our staff. You have my commitment that Sandhills Center will persist in our efforts to live up to the high standards you expect. We will continue to develop a broader network of providers and expand partnership efforts with stakeholders in each of our communities . We also will extend our diligence toward ensuring that quality and cost-effective services are available to those in need. Victoria Whitt, Chief Executive Officer Sandhill s Center 041519a HCBOC Page 79 ENGAG I NG AND ENCOURAG I NG OUR PROVIDER NETWORK INCREASING SERVICE RATES Sandhills Center is committed to reinvesting savings in services , and we are dedicated to working with our network of providers to improve access and availability of high-quality behaviora l health serv i ces . We continue to explore opportunities to make adjustments to services , reimbursement rates and service-delivery models to more effectively meet our members' needs . Most recently, we increased service rates by 3 pe r cent for providers of community-based Inte r mediat e Care Facilities, Outpatient Services, including Evaluation and Management Coding , and all Innovations Waiver services . The new rates began July l , 2018 . TRAINING AN D PRO VI D ER D EV ELOPME NT Sand hills Center va l ues our provider network relationship. We believe that engaging and encouraging a high-qual ity ne t work involves taking a robust approach to traini n g and educationa l deve l o pm e nt. We know that pu t ting our providers on a p ath to kn owledge leads to better outcomes for t he indivi d uals and famil ies who r eceive services. In 2018, Sandh il ls Center hosted train ing and technica l ass istance se ssions on a vari ety of topi cs. Two exam ples includ e QPR Gatekeeper train-the -trainer i n struction, and informational programs on the new statewide Health Information Ex change (HIE). The QPR Gatekeeper sessions certifie d 16 in structors from various Sandhills Center counties. QP R stands for Question, Persuade and Refer , whic h are the three steps to help save lives from sui ci de. Sponsoring Q PR Gatekeeper instru ction has become a mutually-rewarding e x perience be cause participants gained valuable skills to help their organiza- tions, and Sandhills Ce nter gained 16 new training partners. T he newly-certified Gatekeepers have agreed to teach a minimum of three 2-hour QPR training sessions ann ually in collaboration with u s. For the HIE training , Sandhills Center hosted two sessions with i n the region to make the training ac ce ssib le to pro- viders . T he purpose of the training was to acquaint our network with NC HealthConne x , the new HIE that providers will need to connect with in order to su bmit data required by the NC Department of Health and Human Services . KEEPING PROVIDERS ON THE RIGHT PATH Sandhills Center will continue to monitor the training needs of the providers in our network . We host Provider Forums quarterly, with special Provider Orientation sessions held each May . An array of other training opportunities are of- fered each month throughout the year. Course descriptions and registration information can be obtained by logging on to our website and clicking on the HCalendar" headline. www .SandhillsCenter.org • Providers must connect to the new HIE to continue re ceiving payments for the Medicaid and state -funded services they offer. NC HealthConne x is ex pected to improve the qual ity of integrated care , enhance safety, boost recovery outcomes and reduce overall healthcare co sts by ma k ing heal th data available to participating providers. We know that the use of data allows organizatio n s to better manage their business st rategies. Sandhi l ls Center em b races high-quality programs l ike t he HIE informational meetings so that our providers are prepared for full implementation, which is planned for June l, 2019. Through the use of targeted training sessions , technical assi stance and community education, Sandhills Cente r is e levating the quality of servic es offe red throughout our area . We are ensuring t hat members are served by w ell -trained, e x peri e nced prov i der staff that are up to date on the most advanced clinical practice s. 06 041519a HCBOC Page 80 07 PROVIDER SATISFACTION SURVEY SAYS ... According to survey results released in early 2018, Sandhi/ls Center maintains a strong relationship with providers while successfully overseeing and managing behavioral health services. The survey measured provider satisfaction among each of North Carolina 's LME·MCOs, and was conducted by an independent review organization on behalf of the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. Sandhills Center rated as the highest LME·MCO on 13 of 23 questions, the most of our peers. Our score was 91 .8 percent for the question that rates overall LME-MCO satisfaction . This was the highest score of our peer organizations and is significantly higher than the overall average from the previous year. Other areas where Sandhills Center scored the highest were: Accessibility for information, referrals and appointment scheduling. Response time for provider needs. Responsiveness to local community stakeholders. Accurate, timely processing of claims. Informative, helpful training for information technology and provider network issues and keeping providers updated, as well as answering questions accurately. Providing a useful website with the tools and materials necessary for successful operation. Sandhills Center is pleased that the survey results reaffirm our commitment to giving providers the tools they need to offer quality, evidence-based and appropriate treatment for our members. RESPONDING TO I DENTIFIED NEEDS A COMMITMEN T T O STEWARDSHIP AND QUALITY OF CA RE For the seco nd straight year, Sa n dhi l ls Center had the hig hest reported percen t age of servi ce level spending of the seven LME-MCOs in the state, according to a report from the NC Department of Heal t h and Hu man Services. The report shows investme n t in non -Medicaid services for the past fiscal year, which ended June 30, 2018. It ill ustrates that Sand hil ls Center spent 128.4 perce n t of the required service spendi ng for the year, exceeding the target of l 00 percent, and exceeding the stat ewide average spe n ding of l 07 percent. San d hi ll s Center takes innovative approaches to u tilizing o u r fund balance to ensure qual ity of care while monitoring appropriate use of resources. 041519a HCBOC Page 81 SANDHILLS CENTER REINVESTING SAVINGS IN FACILITY-BASED CRISIS SERVICES Sandhills Center has identified a need for crisis services for both children and adults in the region . Currently, there are three facilities planned with one location opening in 2019 that will offer Facility-Based Crisis services to our members . These are the projects that are currently underway: Randol ph County --Work began in 2018 to remodel an existing building located at 110 Walker Ave., in Asheboro, to offer Facility-Based Crisis services for adults. Construction is nearly complete .. The crisis center will be operated by Daymark Recovery Services , and will include a 16-bed, non-medical unit that will serve as an alternative to hosp italization for adults in crisis. Also included is an observation unit which offers time for individuals to be treated and their level of care needs assessed for up to 23 hours. Rich mo nd Coun t y --Community conversations sparked the development of a Child Facility-Based Crisis unit in the southern-most area of our region. Sa ndhill s Center was awarded $1 million from the state, al lowing the Board of Direct ors to purchase land and move forward with constructing a Child Faci lity-Bas ed Crisis center in Richmond Count y. It will offer 24/7 wal k-in crisis services , a 23 -hour observation unit, 16 beds , outpatient services and medicat ion management. Gui lford Cou nt y --In December 2018, Sandhil l s Cente r announced a partnership with the Guilford County Board of Commissioners and Cone Heal th to deve lop adult and youth Facility-Based Crisis services in one complex at a location in Greensboro. Two b uildings are p l anned. T he adult facility will feature a 16-bed crisis center , a 23- hour observation unit and outpatient services for adults , adolescents and children . The second building will be designed for children as a non-medical facility and an alternative to hospitalization. It also will have 16 beds, and servi ces will be available around the clock . Guilford County selected Cone Health to serve as the provider for the adult facility , and Sandh ills Center will choo se a provider for the youth center at a later date. Funding for a po rtion of these projects will come from reserve funds designated by the Sandhi ll s Center Board of Directors. Savi ng s from managing Medicaid services under the 1 91 5 (b)/(c) waiver ha s made it possible. One of the benefits of Sand hills Center becoming a waiver site for managing servic es was that savings could be reinvested back into local communities . Sand h ills Center is committed to seeing that adults and children who receive c ri sis services w i ll continue to partici- pate in behavioral health treatment by accepting referrals and connections to community providers. We look forward to the positive impact these serv ice additions will have on our region. INCREASED FOCUS ON INTEGRATED CARE THROUGH TCLI To ensure that individuals with severe mental illness can live stable lives, Sandhills Center has embraced the integrated or whole-person care model to address both physical and behavioral health. We believe that when an individual's physical health is diminished due to illness or medication side effects, it becomes difficult to maintain competitive employment, earn a steady paycheck and become fully active residents of their communities. In 2018, Sa ndhills Center identified a significant number of our members who met the criteria for the state's Transitions to Community Living Initiative (TCLI) were not able to take advantage of the services due to pervasive health care needs. TCLI provides eligible adults who have serious mental illnesses the opportunity to choose where they live and work, thereby promoting recovery through providing long-term housing, commu nit y-based services, supported employ- ment and community integration. Sandhills Center is now assessing both physical and mental health care challenges of people who fit the criteria . Staff continue to identify members who need follow -up assessments, including those taking medications intended to improve health but experience side effects that manifest in behavioral ways. 08 041519a HCBOC Page 82 FEEDBACK BRIDGES GAPS Sandhills Center values stakeholder feedback to identify gaps in services . The Community Needs Assessment Stakeholder Surveys are conducted each year to gain insights from members , families and other community partners. In 2018 , as in previous years, the Sandhills Center Consumer & Family Advisory Committee (CFAC) played an active role in helping to promote completion of the surveys. As a result , the survey clearly identified the need to expand crisis services throughout the region , as noted in this report. We also found a need to expand availability of Medication-Assisted Therapies (MAT) for opioids. A modifier was also added to our online provider directory to allow members to easily search for their desired MAT provider. Sandhills Center wishes to thank everyone who completed and contributed to distributing the stakeholder surveys . Strategies for addressing gaps in services are continuing . Recommendations and solutions are announced when appropriate. BROADENING RELATIONSHIPS WITH STAKEHOLDERS MEMBER EDUCATION IS IMPORTANT TO US Sand hills Center is proud of the opportunities our members and their families have to reach their full potential. Connecting them with our Family Support and Community Collaboration program continued to benefit families in 2018. The program is a partnership between Sandhills Center and North Carolina Families United. Five family support advocates represent Sand hills Cente r and Famili es United throughout the nine-county region. In each county, they regularly facilitate workshops and support groups where families are afforded opportunities to hear from professionals on important topics , share concerns and l earn from each other. The advocates also facilitate collaboration among stakeholders, and educate agencies about Sandhills Center resources . In 2018, programming offered through the partnership included : Anger and Stress Management workshops Foster parent support groups Human Trafficking workshops 09 Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders workshop "Autism 101" Autism support groups "Helping Your Child Identify and Ex press Their Feelings " "Living After Lo sing " Personality Disorders training Oppositional Defiant Disorders work shop "Understanding Data and Gaps in Mental Health Servi c es Among the Latino Community" Family Loss and T rauma support groups "Trends i n Marijuana and Opioid Use" Depression and Suicide Awareness "E-Cigarette Use Among Youth" Sand hills Cente r members are encourag ed to utilize Family Support and Community Collaboration resources throughout the year. The partnership is committed to linking member families with valuable educational programming within their communities . A complete schedule of events is posted on our website under the "Calendar" heading at www.SandhillsCenter.org. 041519a HCBOC Page 83 CELEBRATING 10 YEARS OF CRISIS TRAINING Sand hills Center had reason to celebrate a milestone in 2018. For 10 years, we have cosponsored Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training for first responders. CIT is a partnership between Sandhills Center, law enforcement and other first responder agencies, local NAMI chapters and area community colleges. The CIT training program was created to divert individuals living with behavioral health conditions from arrest through the creation of more effective interactions among law enforcement, providers, individuals living with mental illness and their families. CIT is a rigorous 40-hour program with blocks of information taught by subject matter experts. Students participate in simulation activities, as well as go into the community to meet with individuals with lived experience . The individuals share information about themselves, their loved ones and interactions they have had with first responders. Relationships and collaborations form throughout the week between the partici- pants and speakers. The emergency medical services (EMS) CIT curriculum is slightly shorter at 32 hours. For CIT alumni, 8-hour advanced courses have been held in the region for the last two years. In 2008 , Sandhills Center conducted its first CIT class for law enforcement personnel in Moore County. Over the past decade, CIT in the region has grown to include not only city police officers and county sheriff's deputies, but also NC Department of Public Safety probation and parole officers, telecommunicators, campus police , paramedics and military police. Sandhills Center has been involved with the CIT curriculum offered during Ba sic Law Enforcement Training (BLE T) at Randolph Community College for two years . In 2018, we had our first K-9 officer (see photo, right) graduate from the program , we held our first-ever Hoke County class , and we cosponsored a week-long session tailored to schoo l resource officers in Guilford County. In total for 2018, 12 classes were held in our communities, with 211 earning CIT certification. Here is the breakdown of participants during the year : Sworn office rs --101 Out of county participants --7 School resource officers --21 Other first responders (including BLET students) --82 Since its inception in 2008, Sandhi ll s Ce nter has cosponsored 66 CIT classes, and graduated nearly l ,3SO participants . We embrace the philosophy that CIT has many benefits, including: Reduced injury rates am o ng officers and people with mental illnesses. Reduced criminal justice system costs and the need for additional crisis resources. In creased referral rates and reduced arrest rates among people with behavioral health challenges. Improved collaboratio n between law enforcement and agencies. A reduction in myths and stigmas associated with mental illness. Appropriate face-to-face interactions between first responders, people with mental illness and their families. Photo credit: Kellie Moran, Sandhills Center Justice Systems Clinical Liaison. Hoke County Sheriff's Deputy Mark Davies and K-9 Officer Rocky participated in CIT training in August 2018. 10 041519a HCBOC Page 84 11 CONTINUING THE OPIOID FIGHT By joining with community partners and expanding the services that are delivered by our provider network, Sandhills Center continued its efforts to raise awareness and expand treatment options for opioid misuse. In February and March 2018, Sandhllls Center collaborated with the Harnett County Sheriff's Office, Daymark Recovery Services, local pharma- cists and Harnett County Schools to present opioid prevention assemblies ·· entitled 7he Face of Opioid Abuse··· in five Harnett County high schools. About 5,500 students learned that opioid addiction can affect anyone, and that addiction o~en starts with prescription pain medications for sports injuries and routine dental procedures. We believe that raising awareness in the youth population will inform a new generation about the dangers of opioid misuse. Sandhills Center also has funded an expansion of the number of providers offering Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT). Suboxone administration was expanded through a pilot program that requires MAT providers to adhere to an integrated, evidence-based practice model that includes a continuum of care plan, concurrent behavioral therapy and U.S . Drug Enforcement Administration compliance. Sandhills Center believes that taking a variety of approaches to the opioid crisis can be part of the solution. Preparing young people to understand the seriousness of addiction is one avenue, and evidence-based medical efforts such as MAT are another.

We cons i stent ly reflect on ways for providers and agencies to make continued improvements in their approach to service delivery . We also want to ensure that families are equipped with the latest informational resources and support so that they are better prepared to take on everyday challenges. Sandhills Center collects valuable feedback about educational needs through surveys, committees and community collaboratives . We also pay careful attention to legislative i nitiatives that warrant the development of important technical assistance programming . In this report, we highlight a few educational resources that demonstrate Sandhills Center's strong desire to invest in public outreach and activities that strengthen our communities : QPR train-the-trainer instruction for provi d ers , staff and agency repre - sentatives for the prevent ion of suicide . Our Family Support and Community Collaboration partnership with North Carolina Families United . Health Information Exchange training for prov iders related to the new NC HealthConnex integrated care data-sharing re source . Sandhills Center encourages network providers and stakeholders to actively participate in activities such as these . A complete calendar of events is regularly updated on our website --www.SandhillsCenter.org . Family support and training opportunities are offered throughout the year in our region which encompasses Anson , Guilford , Harnett, Hoke, Lee, Montgomery, Moore , Randolph and Richmond coun t ies . We look forward to your participation . Victoria Whitt, Chief Executive Officer Sandh i lls Center 041519a HCBOC Page 88 SANDHILLS CENTER SPONSORS HIE TRAINING FOR PROVIDERS Sandhills Center has embraced the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services' strategic plan to improve healthcare through "an innovative, whole-person, well-coordinated system of care, which addresses both medical and nonmedical drivers of health , and promotes health equity ." Part of the plan involves implementation of the new NC HealthConnex Health Information Exchange (HIE). Providers of Medicaid behavioral health and I/DD services and supports are required to connect and submit data to NC HealthConnex by June 1, 2019, if they are to continue receiving payments for the Medicaid and -~~·s,11,,, state-funded services they provide. We recognize that the new HIE is intended to improve whole-person health- care quality, enhance patient safety, boost outcomes and reduce overall healthcare costs by making health data available to participating providers . To prepare our provider network for the changes, Sandhills Center sponsored two three-hour training sessions entitled, "Connecting to HIE and the 1115 Waiver: What Providers Need to Know." The sessions were held Oct. 18 in Randolph County, and Nov. 1 in Richmond County . Nearly 200 ,providers attended the sessions conducted by Tara Larson , Vi ce President of Healthcare Policy for Cansler Collaborative Resources Inc. The sessions covered the following topics : An overview of NC HealthConnex and legislative requirements. A status update on the HIE Behavioral Health/lDD Implementation Work- group. The relationship between the HIE and 111 5 Medicaid Waiver Standard Plans and Tailored Plans . Strategies for agency planning and change management steps for success- ful HIE and data analytics implementation. How and why the HIE and data analytics are necessary for value-based purchasing. Lessons learned by providers who have successfully connected to the new HIE. More information can be found on our website --www.SandhillsCenter .org . We believe that using data through the modernized HIE will assist organiza- tions to successfully manage their business strategies . The new HIE will help identify trends and outliers easily and proactively, rather than reactively . It will allow p roviders to see data that will guide process improvements. It also will help track total cost versus outcomes, identify areas to target resources, and integrate providers into the overall health systems through- out the nine-county region . 041519a HCBOC Page 89 ~ MEMBERSHIP ' PROMOTING FAMILY EDUCATION, COLLABORATION Through the Family Support and Community Collaboration program, we encourage families and children to reach their full potential by connecting them with important learning opportunities . The program is a partnership between Sandhills Center and North Carolina Families United . Five family support advocates are assigned to the nine counties within the Sandhills Center region . The advocates are knowledgeable about services and supports that are available in their geographic areas . The program strives to support, empower and educate families of children with emotional, learning or behavioral challenges . Our advocates provide families with information about community and Sandhills Center resources . They also offer brochures pertaining to common mental health or substance abuse issues . The advocates regularly facilitate support groups tailored to the needs of grandparents , foster parents, families, youth or parent groups . Families are afforded opportunities to share concerns and learn from each other, and presenters are invited to speak about topics of interest. Some support groups are formed in partner- ship with Departments of Social Services and other child-serving agencies . Advocates support families by preparing them for contacts with local agencies, schools and providers. In this role, they attend Individualized Education Plan or Child and Family Team meetings with parents . The Family Support and Community Collaboration program recognizes that families are best served when agencies work together, share information, identify service gaps and solve problems around family needs . To accomplish this, advocates attend partner-agency team meetings that focus on diverse areas such as juvenile crime prevention programming, child fatality reviews, social services community child protection teams and substance abuse task force meetings. The advocates speak on behalf of families, facilitate collaboration and educate agencies about Sandhills Center resources . Advocates regularly participate in community health fairs and events to share information about the program and Sandhills Center. In addition, advocates facilitate free workshops that address topics such as child trafficking, suicide awareness , substance abuse , autism, stress management and parent resiliency. Events are publicized via e-mail and the calendar pages on the Sandhills Center website . Sandhills Center is committed to linking our member families and child-serving partners with valuable educational programming and other resources within their neighborhoods and communities . 041519a HCBOC Page 90 ~ y SUICIDE-PREVENTION TRAINING OFFERED Sandhills Center recently sponsored a train-the-trainer session that certified 1 5 QPR Gatekeeper instructors from Guilford, Harnett, Montgomery and Richmond counties within the Sandhills Center region. QPR stands for Question , Persuade and Refer -three steps that participants can learn to help save lives from suicide . Just as people trained in CPR and the Heimlich maneuver help save thousands of lives each year, people trained in QPR learn how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to question , persuade and refer someone to seek help. QPR is listed on the National Registry of Evidence-Based Practices and Programs. More than 18,000 people have been trained and certified as QPR Gatekeeper Instructors in the United States and abroad. The QPR Gatekeeper instruction was held at Randolph Community College on Dec. 4, 2018 . Following the training, participants have agreed to teach a minimum of three 2-hour QPR Gatekeeper training sessions annually in part- nership with Sandhills Center. Sand hills Center currently offers a segment of QPR within its 40-hour Crisis Intervention Team training for law enforcement and other first responders . The one -day QPR Gatekeeper train-the-trainer program was an important addition to the community and provider education repertoire that already is available within the Sandhills Center region . Last year , for example, Sandhills Center collaborated with the NC Department of Health and Human Services and the University of North Carolina School o f Social Work to sponsor a 40-hour Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) train-the- trainer program. MHFA in the Sandhills Center region has produced 12 new instructors who have facilitated training. As a result , about 600 individuals from all nine Sandhills Center counties have earned MHFA certification since January 2017 . Those who have earned MHFA certification have included staff from the Corrections Division (as part of a larger statewide initiative), local governments , Departments of Social Services , health care facilities, universities , network providers and nonprofit agencies . Sandhills Center will continue to build on the successes of the MHFA and QPR Gatekeeper programs . Our commi t ment to this effort demonstrates our strong desire to invest in public outreach and educational activities that strengthen our communities . A photo of the QPR Gatekeeper training clas s can be found on page 8 of this report. 041519a HCBOC Page 91 FINANCIALS 1 .6 Revenues Medicaid Service Contracts $235,192,635 70.4% State, Federal Service Funds and Medicaid Flow 28,255, 1 00 8.5% Co u n t y Ge n e r a l and O t he r Loca l 12,016,665 3.6% CD rearm t Plan r ... g Adm n strdt1 m d nd MH '-A fr tmP t Pl n 1 nq 8,587,477 2.6% Medrcard Adm1nr strat1on General and LME Admin1s t r at ion 15,608,693 4.7% Medicaid Reserve Funds 5,279,372 1.6% Fun d Balance 29,357,649 8.6% TOTAL $334,297,591 100% 1. 7 0.2 0.4 \ Expenses Contracts $299,707,9 3 1 89 .6% Pe r so n nel 27,185,863 8.1% Materials and Supplies 436,787 0.2% Cu r rent Obl igations 5,554,864 1.7% Fr 11 r ., dn prt I 1,412,146 0.4% TOTAL $334,297,591 100% 07 041519a HCBOC Page 92 ~ -;.._• --~--r •. .:.

Below are the member comments ... Kathy Wood • Liked the Plan. Page 1 of 2 041519a HCBOC Page 99 Everett Blake • Liked the Plan . • It seems evident that this Plan will help with the growth pressures that western Harnett experienced without such a tool. • Non-residential growth will come, and probably will upset some existing residents ... example rezoning process, etc. • Agrees that higher design/ development standards are need and potentially expanded to other areas of the County . • Continu i ng effort to accentuate Parks & Recreation and natural resources of Harnett County . • Extending sewer towards the Duncan area will probably be a benefit for future growth . Cris Nystrom • Like the idea that Agriculture was a focus and maintain a rural character was emphasized. • Increase the "bare minimum" for residential standards is a good idea, as most developers will go above this basel i ne just due to competition & market demands . • Sales leakage has to stop! Quality of life in Harnett should draw folks, commercial businesses, and industry to this county. Stanley Price • Liked the Plan and appreciated the efforts. Teresa H. Ratcliff • Liked the Plan . • Wanted to ensure Campbell University was involved and stays involved with County undertakings, etc . Suggested Statement-of-Consistency: (Staff concludes that...) As described within the document, the proposed NW Area Land Use Plan is compatible with Harnett County regulatory documents and would promote public health, safety, and general welfare of the County, as well as maintain orderly and compatible land use and development patterns that encourage environmentally responsible development practices .

' -----------------------, ---· 0 0 0 PROTECTED AREAS Parks and other forms of protected open space, including large conservation easements ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE AREAS Environmentally sensitive areas, Including floodplains and areas located in the Conservation Overlay Zoning District. Primary uses in these areas would be open space, forestry, and agriculture. AGRICULnJRE AND RURAL RESIDENTIAL Primarily agricultural and forestry uses with some rural residential areas. These areas are located outside of existing and future service areas and rely on septic systems for wastewater treatment They have a limited road network and In some cases lie within High Quality Watershed or Water Supply Watershed areas. The lack of utility and transportation infrastructure, the established low density development pattern and ongoing agricultural activities in these areas contribute to their rural character. This character can be enhanced by encouraging only low intensity uses, single family residential up to one unit per acre and context sensitive rural design. Smaller lots would be permitted as part of a Rural Cluster Development, which would Include 40% open space, and a maximum number of 20 lots per development. LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL Single family detached residential Intended to remain predominately suburban in character and provide for low density single-family residential development on lots smaller than those In Rural Residential areas. Gross densities of 1-2 dwelling units per acre depending on utilities, soils, and character of adjacent development Smaller lot sizes would be permitted as part of a Conservation Development, which would also Include 40% open space to preserve sensitive environmental areas, and provide buffers and meaningful open space. MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL Located In areas served by current or planned utilities, medium density residential permits a mix of housing types including single family detached homes, smal~lot homes and patio homes. Gross densities of up to 3 dwelling units per acre. Smaller lot sizes would be permitted as part of a Conservation Development, which would also include 40% open space to preserve sensitive environmental areas, and provide buffers and meaningful open space. 0 0 0 0 IN-TOWN RESIDENTIAL Compact residential with a mix of housing types including single family detached homes with average lot sizes, smalHot homes and patio homes that are complimentary of the existing historic residential development of nearby towns and crossroads communities. Gross densities of up to 5 dwelling units per acre. Located In areas served by current or planned utilities and In areas near the extra-territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) of towns. Additional housing types (including townhomes and apartments) and higher densities may be appropriate as part of planned developments or near Development Nodes. RURAL CENTERS Small scale commercial centers. The exact location and extent of the Rural Centers will be market driven, however, the non-residential footprint will usually be less than 50,000 square feet in these areas. Building should mimic historical scale and architectural details. Residential includes smaller lot homes, patio homes and some small-scale attached products (such as townhomes or quadplexes). COMMUNITY MIXED USE These areas are meant to be nodes or activity centers for growing areas in the County. They are located near concentrations of existing or planned residences, and areas with access to major thoroughfares and utilities. These areas Incorporate commercial uses including grocery stores, retail establishments, restaurants and services. Office, cMc and Institutional uses should complement commercial uses. Higher density residential including small lot single-famlly, townhomes and apartments should be located in close proximity to shopping and service destinations and complimented by pedestrian facilities to provide more walking opportunities to Internal and external destinations. The exact location and size of nonresidential areas will be dependent on market conditions. EMPLOYMENT MIXED USE These areas are located along major thoroughfares and include prime locations for economic development opportunities. Uses encouraged in the Employment Mixed Use areas include but are not limited to industrial, warehouse, office, research and development, tech-flex, medical, energy and distribution. Residential development is appropriate only when not In conflict with existing or future industry or commercial uses. 041519a HCBOC Page 103Proposed Land Use Map: inset of Chalybeate Springs Rd & Purfoy Rd area Drake Landing • CURRIN Ro ;'9'_>: \ \ Previous DRAFT Land Use Map: inset of Chalybeate Springs Rd & Purfoy Rd area rake Landing • ' ' ' 041519a HCBOC Page 104 C, C: ·c 0 N C, C: ;:: II> '>< w 041519a HCBOC Page 105 HARNETT COUNTY NORTHWEST AREA PLAN ~ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ~ 041519a HCBOC Page 106 ADVISORY COMMITTEE Angie Stewart Barry Blevins Brian Haney Carl Davis Chris Prince Debbie Taylor Everett Blake Glenn McFadden Gordon Springle Greg Burns Jimmy Riddle Lew Weatherspoon Nick Dula Paula Stewart Philip Culpeppe r Richie Hines Sean Johnson Shelby Powell Steve Ward Walter Weeks COUNTY COMMISSION Gordon Springle, Chairman Howard L .

The purpose of the Harnett County Northwest Area Plan is to build on the Comprehensive Growth Plan and create a more detailed guide for the northwestern portion of the county, including the northern portion of Lillington and western portion of Angier, even though these areas are incorporated. This plan will serve as a framework for accommodating growth and development while maintain- ing rural character, environmental quality, and the livability of the area. The study area is predominantly rural in character, with many working farms and timber lands, historic crossroads communities and small scale residential, industrial, and commercial development. However, this rural character is under pressure from the residential growth emanating from communities to the north, specifically the rapid growth of Wake County and Fuquay-Varina. Northwest Harnett County has experienced unprecedented growth over the past five years and will continue to for the foreseeable future. The Northwest Area Plan provides a roadmap for how to manage that growth so that the community benefits from change while also pro- tecting the characteristics and qualities that the community values. / CHATHA( CO.

Lillington's Comprehensive Plan anticipates commercial and institutional growth north of the Cape Fear River centered on the intersection of NC 210 and US 401 and Brightwater a mixed-use business center that currently houses Central Harnett Hospital. In addition, the plan shows planned green spaces located on both sides of the Cape Fear River and potential residential development north and south of US 401 east of NC 210. TOWN OF ANGIER The western portion of the Town of Angier is located within the study area boundaries. Angier's Comprehensive Plan includes the fol lowing future land uses that could impact the study area: • Medium density residential growth (R -10 zoning (10,000 square foot lots) with water + sewer) • Commercial corridor along NC 55 • High density residential (R-6 zoning (6,000 square foot lots) w it h water + sewer) • Planned new connector road on west side of town TOWN OF FUQUAY-VARINA Fuquay-Varina's Comprehensive Plan projects that the Town's popu lation will triple if current growth trends continue. In anticipation of this growth. the Town is expanding its Extra Territorial Jurisdiction south to the Wake-Harnett County line, directly adjacent to the study area . Planned land uses impacting the study area include:: • Large Lot: 2 dwelling units per acre • Small Lot: 2 -6 dwelling units per acre • Mixed-Density: 4-8 dwelling units per acre 041519a HCBOC Page 111 COMPREHENSIVE GROWTH PLAN Harnett County's Comprehensive Growth Plan , adopted in 2015, establi s hed a vision and goals for County-wide issues. The plan focuses on fi v e themes: Land Use, Econom ic Devel opment, Utilities, Natural Resources, and Transportation . The Northwest Area Plan bu ilds on and refines the county -wide goals as it relates to the this portion of the County. The Future L and Use Map that is included in this p lan is meant to clar ify and refine some o f the recommendations in the Comprehens ive Growth Plan based on further study and public input in the Northwest Area . UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE Harnett County's Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) sets the regulations for development in the county. Recently, the County has updated their standards for certain t ypes of residential development to require curb and gutter, sidewalks, and street trees in more situations. These changes are intended to promote high quality development and ensure future pedestrian connections. SOUTHWEST AREA STUDY Harnett County is one of multiple counties and municipalities included in the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization's (CAMPO) study of regional growth and transportation networks. As part of thi s ongoing study, CAMPO will project future growth and put forth recommendations of how the transportation system can accoml!lodate this growth. This regional look will be critical to understanding the cross-county travel patterns and transportation needs of study area residents.

The first phase began in May of 2018 and focused on project initiation including data collection, review of existing plans for both the County and neighboring municipalities, a kick-off meeting with County staff, and interviews with key stakeholders. The second phase included steering committee meetings, a tour of the study area , analysis of constraints, economic opportunities and infrastructure needs, as well a public meeting and online survey. During the third phase a draft future land use map was created along with concepts for small areas and draft strategies, wh ich were reviewed and adjusted through two steering committee meetings. All information was stored and shared on the Development Serv ices's website to encourage participat i on and understanding. The adoption phase of the process occurred during ___ of 2019 and included developing implementation steps and review and adoption of the plan by the Planning Board and County Commission.

The Northwest Area Plan is informed by both quantitative analysis and quali- tative input from the community. There is a common theme in all of the in- formation collected during this p lanning process: change. Northwest Harnett County has experienced tremendous growth over the past decade, and will continue to change in the future. This chapter incl udes information on chang- es to the area's population and demographics, economic and land use trends, and infrastructure and natural resources. It incl udes community input gathered throughout the plan development process. It outlines recent accomplishments and identifies key issues that need to be addressed through county-led initia- tives and through cooperation with municipalities and private entities. Harnett County Northwest Area Plan 7 041519a HCBOC Page 1168 Grow Harnett Co unty DEMOGRAPHICS Proximity to Raleigh, the Research Triangle Park via US 401 , and the new Triangle Expressway are driving a rapid expansion of residential demand in Northwest Harnett County, bringing with it both opportunities and challenges. The population of the study area has grown by 50% between 2000 and 2017. This is a net increase of 743 homes and 1,775 people. The area's current population is 16,252 (Source: Esri) and is projected to grow by over 18,000 people by 2038 according to population projections produced by the Triangle J Council of Governments. The population of the study area is older than Harnett County on average, but in line with North Carolina and US median age, and has roughly half the poverty rate of the county as a whole (9.9% v 18.3%). The study area is attractive to families looking for a semi-rural setting close to the job centers in Wake County and RTP. It is also home to older people living in a mix of higher-value and affordable homes.

However, a substantial majority of land value is derived from single family residential land uses. Balancing these two uses -agriculture and residential -is one of the defining challenges of future growth in the area. Commercial and industrial land uses make up only 2.2% of the land area in Northwest Harnett County, yet they make up over 10% of the property value. In addition, a 2011 Cost of Land Use Fiscal Analysis conducted for the Fort Bragg Regional Alliance showed that retail, office and industrial land uses result in more net fiscal benefits than average or low value residential land uses.

In 2015 there were 290 residential closings. In 2017 there were 419 . And 2018 closings are on pace to met or exceed the 2017 figure. The scale of res idential developments is also increasing. Smaller subdivisions were common in the past , but more recently the developments being proposed include larger tracts of land and hundreds of homes. Median sales price of homes in the study area has increased to nearly $240,000 in the first half of 2018. The median sales price in the study area has increased more rapidly than in the county as a whole. The types of housing in demand is also changing. Since 2015 homes sold in the study area have been overwhelmingly single family detached homes, although many recent proposals include smaller lots that are meant to meet market demand and capitalize on available sewer in the Neills Creek basin. There is an emerging demand for rental options, especially from Campbell University which has over 2 ,000 graduate students. Many of these students current ly live in Fuquay-Varina due to apartment a v ailability. Even with m o r e peop le li v ing in Northwest Harne tt County retail and restaurant opti o n s are limited. T here is sub stantial retail leakage espec ially in General Merc handise Stores, Gas Stations, and Re staurants & Bars. Many residents travel north into Wake County to a c cess shopping and dining options. The thoughtful development of commercial centers close to clusters of current and future re sidential development could provide amenities to Harnett County residents , shorten trips, and stre ngthen the tax base.

Campbell University is just to the east of the study area and has 850 full time faculty and staff. Smart investments in transportation and utility services could encourage new industrial uses and a more diverse spectrum of commercial uses and bolster the employment base in the community. Sections of the study area , particularly along the US 401 corridor, are suitable for industrial development as shown on the Industrial Suitability map bel ow. Access to US 401, a railroad, the Triangle Expressway, Research Triangle Park, RDU Airport, Ra leigh, Durham , and Chatham County's Moncure Megasite are factors that could lead to more businesses in the area. \ A ... ,,, ... ~·-_,. t -~ ~(lt;J ·-~ ,.

Harnetl County Northwest Area Plan : 11 041519a HCBOC Page 120 Planned alignment of Angier Shallow Bypass 2,456 People live outsid e of th e county and work within th e county TRANSPORTATION The study area is served by a sparse network of rura l roads and a few state highways . Primary routes are US 401 and NC 210; both running roughly north- south into Wake County. NC 55 passes through the Town of Angier on the east side of the study area and NC 42 travels through the Duncan community in the northwest. These larger roads are supplemented by smaller local east- west routes (Rawls Church Road, Chalybeate Spri ngs Road, Harnett Central Road and others), and a series of "farm to market" roads built on ridge-lines that form large areas without road connec t ions. Many of these "country blocks" have road connections 1 or 2 miles apart. As the population of the study area increases and more people use existing roads for commuting and fulfilling everyday needs road connecti ons and en hancements wi l l be needed to maintain mobility and emergency access. Creation of a secondary network of local, interconnected streets through cooperation with the private development community and pursuance of improvements on state maintained roads will be necessary to help ameliorate congestion and improve access to services. Several transportation studies and planned investments will impact the study area: Angier Shallow Bypass-this at-grade limited access road is planned on the western edge of Angier as a funded State Transportation Improvement Project and will provide additional north-south capacity in the vicinity of Angier. Southwest Area Study-The Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO) i s studying southern Wake County and northern Harnett County to anticipate future transportation improvements needed in this rapidly growing area.

The Town of Angier and the Town of Lillington also provide water and sewer to customers within their respective city lim its. County water service is widespread with significant capacity along US 401 and NC 210. Many of the more rural areas of the county have water se rvice, but limited capacity in lines. County owned gravity-fed sewer service extends up the Neills Creek basin, and capacity exists to serve areas anticipated for development along US 401 and east to NC 210 . Care must be taken to ensure that the development requirements i n the portion of Harnett County served by utilities anticipate smaller lots from larger area subdivisions. Cooperation is needed on the border with Angier to support a growth pattern via utility policies that is mutually beneficial to the county and the town. The extension of utilities can also be viewed as an economic development tool, and serve industrial and commercial development. There are industrial opportunities along US 401 and historic railroad stops , such as Chalybeate Springs, where the extension of utilities can support job creation as well as more compact development in a tight node. PUBLIC UTILITIES / Harnetl County Northwest Area Plan 13 041519a HCBOC Page 122 SCHOOLS AND EMERGENCY SERVICES There are 5 publi c schools in the study area . Lafayette Elementary has exceeded the capacity of the main buildings and is relying on mobile classrooms (based on 2016 data ). Harnett Central High and Middle are over capacity as well. New housing and increasing population w i ll lead to more demand for schools . For ev ery 1,000 new households that move to Harnett County, roughly 470 new students may need to be accommodated in the schools system (based on a student generation rate of 0.47 students per household). School capa c ities in the study area vary but understanding implications of residential growth and reserving land for schools in advance will be a need in the near-to mid-term in the study area. The study area is covered by fire and EMS stations near the crossroads of Christian Light Road and Revels Road, Angier and Lillington. Response times and corresponding insurance rates are lower along US 401 and west of NC 210. Call volume has been increasing and there will likely be a need for additional fire- fighting capacity as the area along US 401 increases in population . The railroad and sparse road network is a barrier to improved response times. An additional fire station in the vicinity of Chalybeate Springs at some point in the future would improve coverage, especially on the west side of Neills Creek . Maintain i ng roadway capacity on US 401 will also be important as it is an evacuation route for the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant 10-mile Evacuation Zone.

Jack Marley Park, owned by the Town of Angier is a 33- acre park with a pond, walking trail, two playgrounds, basketball court, tennis court, and three sports fields. Neills Creek Park is owned and maintained by Harnett County and occupies 25 acres adjacent to Harnett Central High School. The park includes six tennis courts, two softball fields, a concession building with a storage room and restrooms, and an open/activity field. The northern portion of Raven Rock State Park is also located in the study area which includes 1,426 acres, a parking area , and hiking and equestrian trails. The Harnett County Parks Master Plan identified the need for land acquisition for additional parks in under- served areas. The plan called for the creation of two district parks in the northwest Harnett County study area. Government Complex Park is a proposed Harnett County park that is to be built within the Town limits of Lillington near the Cape Fear River on the northwest side of US 401 / NC 210. Phase One of the master plan includes a parking area, paved walking trail, fishing pier, soccer field, multi-purpose fields, boardwalk, and wildlife observation deck. The County has also acquired land near the intersection of Revels Road and Oakridge River Road that could be used for a park and/or a convenience/recycling center. The Parks Master Plan also recommends the construction of 36 miles of greenway trails by 2030 and five blueway access points on the Cape Fear River. The recently completed Harnett County Parks Master Plan has six overarching goals: 7. Develop the Cape Fear River as a blueway I river walk to stimulate econornic vitality 2. Connect co1nmun1ties, parks, attractions, destinations, and civil facilities through a greenway trail system. 3 . Enhance recreatJOn opportunities in under-served areas of Harnett County 4. Accornmodate a balance of passive and active recreational opportunities that enhance quality of place and target users of all ages and ability levels. 5 Grow the types and frequency of recreatJOnal programs offered to Harnett County citizens. 6 Manage ex1sttng fact!it1es efficiently and propose new facilities with few barriers to entry (financial, environmental, social).

It marks the transition between the piedmont region and the sandhills, and features the topography of the former and the sandy soils of the latter. Traditionally the area has had a small, dispersed population. The flatter uplands have been ut ilized for agriculture and the more steeply sloped hillsides that lead to streams have been utilized for forestry. Streams flow from north to south , flowing into the Cape Fear River, a drinking water source for the region and a planned blueway. Many of the streams in the study area are designated as High Quality Waters. These waterways are designated in order to protect rare examples of excellent macro-invertebrate and fish communities. The High Quality Waters designation by the State of North Carolina adds restrictions to development in an effort to protect water quality. These restrictions include limiting density and requiring additional stormwater control measures. There are many designated Natural Heritage Natural Areas and documented Natural Heritage E lement Occurrences in the study area. Many are located along the Cape Fear River. Large, forested floodplains extend l ike green fingers northward, help p rote c t water quality, and could be part of a netwo rk of green space and trails if preserved in tandem with development. ,. .

Open fields on rolling terrain are signature features of the landscape of the northwest part of Harnett County, which is described by some as the "Hills of Harnett". In addition to being a community value. agricultural and forestry production is a substantial asset to the Harnett County economy. Harnett County ranks 14th in the state in cash receipts. Cash receipts for agricultural products totaled over $201M in 2015 (Source: USDA). Major crops include chickens, cotton, hay, and tobacco. There are 30,000 acres of forest in the study area (59% of land area) and timber harvested from Harnett County resulted over $5,000,000 in revenue to landowners in Harnett County in 2016 (Source: NCSU College of Natural Resources). Maintaining agricultural lands, timber operations, and other elements that contribute to the rural character that draws people to the county will be a challenge in the coming years given the development pressure extending southward from the Triangle region. .rffl 3/ 36 3 DESIGNATED NATURAL HERITAGE NATURALAREASAND 36 RARE SPECIES OCCURRENCES IN STUDY AREA 5 500 ACRES o r PARKS AND PUBLIC LAND IN STUDY AREA 37,900 ACRES OF FARMS AND FORESTRY OPERATIONS GREENWAYS AND MULTI-USE PATHS -10 MILES 30+ MILES OF GREENWAYS AND TRAILS COMPLETE • ~ OF GREENWAY$ AND TRAILS PLANNED IN THE STUDY AREA Key natural resources. agricult ural and recreation/open space statistics for the study area Drakes L anding is an important agri-tourism destination within the study area Harn ett County Northwe st Area Plan : 17 041519a HCBOC Page 126 ONLINE SURVEY We want to hear from you!

Over 330 responses were received. WHAT WE HEARD The Small Area Plan was developed through a process that included significant community input and regular communication with staff and steering committee members. Through stakeholder meet- ings, a publ ic workshop, steering committee meetings, online and paper surveys , and discussion with staff, this plan was guided by the Northwest Harnett community and reflects their goals and priorities. A lthough the Plan will be adopted by the County, the input received during the process was representative of the issues and needs of the whole study area , which includes portions of the Town of Ang i er and the Town of Li l lington. As such, Harnett Coun t y and partner municipal- ities wil l benefit from ongoing collabor ation in the study area. Common themes of feedback from the steering committee and public participants include: Preservation of farmland, open spaces and heritage lands Concern about the negative impacts of growth (school crowding, traffic, d e mand for services, etc.) Support for small-s cale commercial growth (esp. along US 407) Support for job growth on 407 corridor and the Brightwater Sci- ence and Technology Campus area, as long as traffic is managed Pre ference for rural, larger-lot developm e nt or conservation design in new subdivisions An overwhelming majority of respondents (72%) wanted more un- disturbed natural areas in new developments Farms, working agricultural lands, areas important for water qualitY, and mature forests were identified as areas that should be pre - served Responses to the survey 1nd 1cated that residents preferred high -qualit y commercia l areas with relatively small footprint. architectural details. and amenities.

Building off of the plan framework components outlined in Chapter 2 Framing the Plan , the Future Land Use Map encourages a land use pattern that protects rura l heritage, agricultural uses and natural resources. The western portion of the study area is planned for Agricultural and Rural Residential, as well as Parks and Conservation. This reflects the predominant existing land uses of this part of the County, and encourages these uses to continue. The plan also tries to add additional guidance on how to steer growth to where it can be supported by infrastructure. It concentrates the majority of residential and commercial use along the 401 corridor, within the Neil ls Creek area and near adjacent municipalities. It also supports nonresidential growth in strategic locations and builds on existing employment centers and where there is adequate current or planned transportation infrastructure, access and utility service. In addition to supporting the ideas mentioned above, the Northwest Area Plan Future Land Use Map advances existing Comprehensive Plan goals including: 24 Grow Harnett County Promote and maintain the rural character and agncultural economy of the County • Improve the aesthetics of urbanizing areas • Encourage growth where infrastructure exists 041519a HCBOC Page 133 Note. land with in municipalities shown for display purposes only, consult Angier and Lillington planning documents fo r land use policies for t h ese are as · \ '·· • /' . , l:!. ff 1'f.Vfls It() <? i ! i ~ Parks and Conservation Agricultural and Rural Residential Low Density Resident ial Medium Density Residential In-Town Residential Rural Center Commercial Mixed Use -Town Center -Employment M ixed Use Harnett County Northwest Area Plan 25 041519a HCBOC Page 13426 : Grow Harnett County PARKS AND CONSERVATION Parks and other forms of protected open space, including large conservation easements. Also includes environmentally se n sitive areas, including floodplains and areas located in the Conservation Overlay Zoning D istrict. Primary uses in these areas would be open space, forestr y, and agriculture. AGRICULTURE AND RURAL RESIDENTIAL Primarily agricultural and forestry uses with some ru ra l r esidential areas. These areas are located outside of existing and future utility service areas and rely on septic systems for wastewater treatment. They have a limited road network and in some cases l ie within a High Quality Watershed or Water Supply Watershed area. The lack of utility and transportation infrastructure, the establ ish ed low density development pattern and ongoing agricultural activities in these areas contribute to their r ural cha ra cter. This character can be enhanced by encouragin g only low intensity u ses such as agriculture and su pport i ndustries, very low density single fami ly residential (up to one dwelli ng per acre), and context sensitive ru ra l design. Smaller lots would be permit ted as part of a Rural Cluster Deve lopment , which would include 4 0% open space, and a maximum number of lots per development. LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL Single family det ached residenti al intended to remain predominately suburban in character and provide for low density single-family re sidential development on lots small e r than those in Agric ul ture and Rural Residential a r eas. Gross densities o f 1-2 dwell ing units per acre depending on zoning, utilities, soils, and c haracter of adjacent d eve lopment. Smaller lot sizes would be permitted as par t of a Co mpatibility D evelopment, which would also include a higher amount of open space to preserve se nsitive environmental a reas. MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL Located in areas served by c urrent or planned utili ties, med ium density residentia l permits a mix of housing types inc luding si ngle fami ly detached homes, small-lot homes and patio homes. Gross densities of 1-3 dwelling units per ac re depending on zoning, utilities, natural features and adj acent development. Smaller lot sizes would be permitted as part of a Compatibility Developmen t, which would also include a higher amount of conserved open space to p r eserve se n sitive environmental areas. 041519a HCBOC Page 135 IN-TOWN RESIDENTIAL Due to proximity to towns and potential for municipal services, these areas are suitable fpr residential developments with a mix of housing types including single family detached homes with average lot sizes, small-lot homes, and patio homes that are complimentary of the existing historic residential development of nearby towns. Gross densities of up to 5 dwelling units per acre. Located in areas served by current or planned utilities and in areas near the extra-territorial jurisdiction (ETJ) of towns. Additional housing types (including townhomes and apartments) and higher densities may be appropriate as part of planned developments or near Development Nodes. RURAL CENTERS Small-scale commercial centers and nonresidential activity areas. The exact location and extent of the Rural Centers will be market driven, however, the non-residential footprint will usually be less than 50,000 square feet in these areas. Buildings should mimic historical scale and architectural details. Residential uses include smaller lot homes, patio homes, and some small-scale attached products (such as townhomes or quadplexes), where appropriate. COMMUNITY MIXED USE These areas are meant to be nodes or activity centers for growing areas in the county. They are located near concentrations of existing or planned residences and areas with access to major thoroughfares and utilities. These areas incorporate commercial uses including grocery stores, retail establishments, restaurants and services. Office, civic and institutional uses should complement commercial uses. Higher density residential including small lot single-family, townhomes, and apartments should be located in close proximity to shopping and service destinations and complimented by pedestrian facilities to provide more walking opportunities to internal and external destinations. The exact location and size of nonresidential areas will be dependent on market conditions. EMPLOYMENT MIXED USE These areas are located along major thoroughfares and include prime locations for economic development opportunities. Uses encouraged in the Employment Mixed Use areas include but are not limited to industrial, warehouse, office, research and development, tech-flex, medical, energy, and distribution. Residential development is appropriate only when not in conflict with existing or future industry or commercial uses or focal development areas. Harnett County Northwest Area Plan 27 041519a HCBOC Page 136 RECOMMENDATION 1 Protect rural character, working agriculture, and water quality in rural areas 1.1: [)iscourage rezonings to higher density residential districts in Agriculture and Rural Residential (ARR) Areas Zoning in the Agricultural and Rural Residential area in the Northwest Harnett County Study Area is predominantly RA-40 and RA-3 0. Allowing rezonings to high density districts or approving large-scale Planned Unit Developments (PUDs) could have a negative impact on agriculture and impact water quality Strategic down-zoning should also be considered 1.2: Modify zoning and development standards and create incentives to encourage low density development and discourage inappropriate density in rural areas Many of the prime agricultural lands in the study area are located on relatively flat hilltops between steep stream corridors. These areas generally have good soils but are accessed via a sparse rural road network. Discouraging large-scale development in these areas and encouraging well-designed residential that fits in to the landscape should be a priority of updated regulations. Implementation Strategies: 28 : Grow Harnett County Modify th e Compatibility De sign section of th e Un ified Devel opment Ordinance (UDO) that specifies context-se nsitive deve lopment options in the Agricultural and Rural Resid e nti a l areas on the Future Land U se Plan and allow these options throughout the Northwest Area. • Add a Rura l C l uster Option to the UDO that all ows a sma ll-scale minor subdivision o p tion with flex i b le standards to encourage innovative neighborhood design that f it s Jrdio11 I.J.J. i (.r;,,IJ><lltb,b!) l >,u.~· ( on,.pt Tab!, 2~,1(1U w11t IIW'l<l'"'-""IN' ,w "' -... mr .,. ,. ,...

Modern agriculture is an industr ial employment use. Respecting existing agricultural operations through site design can reduce c onflicts in the future between new resi dents and existing and fu t ure farmers. Implementation Strategies: • Consider requiring or incentivizing working farmland buffers for subdivisions with lots smaller than 25,000 square feet in or adjacent to agricultural areas, especially those enrolled in the Present Use Value (PUV) program or Voluntary Agricultural Districts (VAD).

Avents Creek, Parkers Creek, Mill Creek and Coopers Branch are designated as High Quality Waters by the state of North Carolina. These streams are located west of US 407 and bordered by large forests that are in some places over a mile wide. Nearly all of the study area is located in a WS -IV water supply watershed as most streams drain to the Cape Fear River above the intake in the vicinity of Lilling ton. Protecting forests and limiting impervious surfaces will help safeguard these st reams from degradation that is common to mor e developed areas such as tributaries in Wake County.

Preserving meaningful, usable open space as part of new development can be an amenity for new residents, help preserve the unique natural features of property and make a new neighborhoods fit more seamlessly into 30 Grow Harnett County 041519a HCBOC Page 139 the landscape. Accessible parks and open space included as amenities in new development can help share the burden of park infrastructure and land acquisition costs. Implementation Strategies: lncentivize quality open space and recreational facilities • Encourage or require new developments in the Neills Creek watershed to utilize a conservation design approach to subdivisions. • Allowances exist in the Compatibility Development options for smaller lots in Harnett Co unty Northwest Area Pl an 31 041519a HCBOC Page 140 exchange for high amounts of open space. Updates could be considered that include simplifying the options within the UDO and making a Conservation Design Option that is more attractive due to increased design flexibility or streamlined approval process . • Consider waiving all or part of the Recreation Fee-in-Lieu if recreation needs are addressed by new development. • Consider waiving half of the required Recreation Fee if land is reserved for a publicly accessible amenity, such as a park or greenway. • Consider waiving all of the required Recreation fee if recreation facilities are constructed and meet certain criteria. • Minimum criteria could include: • Inclusion of basic features (i.e. parking, an amenity, paths, etc.) • Public accessibility • Minimum sizes for parks and formal greenspaces • Minimum standards for sports fields • Minimum length for greenways or trails • Size or play structure requirements for playgrounds Revise and clarify open space requirements • Require all Compatibility Subdivisions to include some amount of high quality open space. • Currently a 5,000 square foot break in lot size is allowed if public utilities are available. This provides an incentive for smaller lots without increasing any design requirements. Requiring more open space in new developments with access to public utilities would be a better standard for the study area. • Define Primary and Secondary Conservation Areas (see Open Space & Natural Resource recommendations) and require identification of primary and secondary assets during development review process. • Improve standards for open space. Potential standards could include: • Require a percentage of open space to be outside of regulated features (i .e. floodplain, stream buffers and wetlands) • Dimensional and contiguity requirements (i.e. minimum size, >40-50% connected) • Revise "Open Space, Usable" definition (currently in PUD but not in Compatibili t y Dev.), include undisturbed, natural areas , parks, greenways • Minimum% of active or improved • Access requirements , ownership and maintenance responsibilities • Deed restriction if open space maintained by HOA (preferred) • Exceptions (i.e. trails, utilities, stormwater detention if naturalized) 2.2: Update standards for sidewalks, curb and gutter, street trees, perimeter buffers, on-street parking and loading in Low Density Residential (LDR) and Medium Density Residential (MDR) areas Small scale, low-density subdivisions fit well in rural areas, but larger-scale subdivisions with smaller lots have a greater impact on adjacent properties. genera t e more storm water and may need higher standards to safeguard property values of nea rby properties.

RECOMMENDATION 3 Increase standards for commercial development 3 .1: Promote quality commercial and retail development at well-located sites. M1nim1zing the amount of parking between new commercial buildings and the main road. and the use of high quality materials and transparent facades can r esult 1n better gateways into Harnett County along US 401 and NC 210 Strategically locating commercial development can reduce tra ffic and help build the non-residential tax base in the study area. I mplementation Strategies • Encourage commercial a nd retail developm e nt at Commerci al Mi xed Use and Rural Centers lo cated on the Future Land Use Map.

Three Employment Mixed Use areas are identified on the Future Land Use Map. These areas are located on major roads and have access to rail lines. They also are not located near any existing residential subdivisions. Preserving these sites for future employment bearing uses, improving visibility of these sites and access to infrastructure is a primary goal. Implementation Strategies • Su p port rezon ings that a re con sist e nt with th e Futu re Land Use Map • Support rezoni n gs of land within Empl oyment Mixed Use areas to office/institut ional, commercia l, ligh t industrial and industrial. • Discourage rezonings that accommodate large-scale residenti al subdivisions within Emp loyment Mixed Use areas that could lead to conflicts with existing o r future nonresidentia l development. 4.2: Encourage commercial development including retail, services, restaurants, and offices in areas designated Town Centers , Commercial M ixed Use , and Rural Centers on the Future Land Use Map. Growth of the existing commercial centers in the Town of Angier and the Town of Lillington is supported as well as smaller-scale commercial development at key intersections and in Rural Centers.

The long-term plans for US 407 and land use trends in Northwest Harnett County have evolved since the last reg,onal transportation plannmg effort. Updates to the model network and population and employment forecasts should occur to make sure traffic forecasts are as accurate as possible. Implementation Strategies: • Corre c t trave l model network prior to th e next Me tropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) • Remove the new US 401 location and properl y reflect the Angier Shallow Bypass t hat i s plann ed. • Update soc io-economic data to reflect land use trends. Previous housing forecasts do not adequatel y reflect the location of development proposals. For ins t ance more devel opment wi l l be load ing on US 401 th at is antic i pated in the current model. 6.3: Utilize recommendati ons in the Comprehensi ve Transportation Plan during development review and update regularly to include and refine based on recommendations in recent plans. The Harnett County Comprehensive Transportation Plan was adopted in 2076 and amended in 2077 Updates to the plan should be made to reflect more recent planning efforts such as the NW Harnett Area Plan and the CAMPO Southwest Area Study Implementation Strategies: 36 Grow Harnett County Ensure that the CTP is incorporate d into zoning and development reviews, and that right of way is re served and/or d e d icated at the time of development 041519a HCBOC Page 145 Require new development to leave adequate room for future rights of way and widening by prohibiting the placement of code-required development components (such as septic fields, landscaping, signs, park ing and build ings) wi th in planned rights-of-way. 6.4: Update policies and standards related to street design and improvements required with development.

Delineating greenway corridors ensures that access is maintained in areas that are suitable for conservation and recreation. It is easier and cheaper to reserve greenway corridors before property is developed. After land is subdivided and sold for development, this process can be more difficult. Trail Width Where a paved trail ~urface i s provided, 10-feet is the recommended minimum trail width. The trail should have a 2' level clear zone on each side of the trail between the traveled surface and any obstructions such as trees, walls , or fences. This trail cross-section is adequate for most moderately used trails shared by bicyclists and pe- destrians. Where there is heavy use by multiple user types, 12-feet is the recommend- ed minimum width because it allows more space for trail users of all ages and abilities to share comfortably, and more space for trail users to pass. Alternatively, a sepa rat e track (5 feet minimum) can be provided to separate bicyclists from pedestrians. In these areas, the pedestrian zone should be placed closer to the scenic or natural amenity. Sidepath Trails Along roadway s, the recommended separ ation is 6.5 feet (<25 mph) but may widen to 24 feet(>= 55mph) at road crossings. Wherever possible, the sidepath should be de - signed to provide a natural buffer of trees and native plantings between the trail and the roadway. A high-visibility marked crosswalk with warning signage may be appropriate at side- path crossings with low motor vehicle speeds, volumes and clear si ght lines. Additional crossing enhancements may be necessary on high speed and high-volume roadway s. SOURCE· SMALL TOWN AND RURAL MULTIMODAL NETWORKS GUIDE, rHWA 46 Grow Harn ett Co unty 041519a HCBOC Page 155 Median islands are beneficial to break up the crossing into two parts on roadways with three or more travel lanes or those that have higher volumes and speeds . Median islands particularly bene- fit people who may travel slower, such as c h ildren, older adults, and people with disabi lities. Greenway Easements T he land acquired for a greenway, whatever its acquisition method , must be wide enough to accommodate the construction and main- tenance of the trail. In most cases it will be desirable to have a cor- ridor wide enough to preserve natural vegetation , provide a scenic route for trail users, provide a buffer to nearby developments, avoid obstacles and preserve stream buffers . Several factors contribute to increased corridor w i dths of stream-associated greenways. These include utility obstacles (i.e. poles, towers, manholes) and environmenta l conditions (100-year floodplain, steep slopes, and wetlands). While sewer easements typically range in width according to the size of the line, it is best practice in places where greenways are proposed al ong sewers to dedicate a joint easement of 50 feet in width for both sanitary sew- er and greenway use. This allows the trail to stay out of the wettest parts of the corridor, avoid manholes, provide space for boardwa l ks and bridge structures but still allows the trail to take advantage of areas where clearing has already occurred to minimize environ- mental impacts. Where easements can provide do u ble duty, they should , provided they don't interfere with the utility or function of the uses. In riparian areas, it is best practice to include the stream buffers and 100-year floodplain in the greenway easement. The first 30 feet from the top of the stream bank (area nearest the stream) should remain undisturbed. In key places the width of the ease- ment may need to be as wide as 100 feet in order to accommodate in areas where the trail routes to the narrowest points of creeks, drainage areas or waterways for cost savings on bridges and boardwalks or in areas where steep slopes could require switch- backs. This also permits space for minor relocations of the trail in the future in case of erosion or need for stream bank resto- r ation .
