CITY OF DUNN CITY COUNCIL PUBLIC COMMENT POLICY
The City Council for the City of Dunn does hereby adopt a Public Comment
Policy to provide at least one period for public comment per month at a regular meeting
of the City Council. This policy shall remain in effect until such time that it is altered,
modified, or rescinded by the City Council.
All comments received by the City Council during the Public Comment Period
shall be subject to the following procedures and rules:
1. Anyone desiring to address the City Council must sign up and register on
a sign-up sheet available on the podium within the City Council chambers prior to the
Mayor calling the meeting to order. The sign-up sheet shall be available thirty (30)
minutes prior the beginning of the City Council meeting in the City Council Chambers.
Once the Mayor has called the meeting to order, the City Clerk shall collect the sign-up
sheet and deliver it to the Mayor. The speaker shall indicate on the sign-up sheet his or
her name, address and matter of concern.
2. The Public Comment Period shall be for thirty (30) minutes.
3. Comments are limited to three (3) minutes per speaker. A speaker can not
give their allotted minutes to another speaker to increase that person's allotted time.
4. Each speaker must be recognized by the Mayor or presiding member of
the City Council as having the exclusive right to be heard. Speakers will be
acknowledged in the order in which their names appear on the sign up sheet. Speakers
will address the City Council from the podium at the front of the room and begin their
remarks by stating their name and address.
5. Individuals who sign up but can not speak because of time constraints,
will be carried to the next regular meeting of the City Council and placed first on the

6. During the Public Comment Period, a citizen, in lieu of or in addition to
speaking may pass out written literature to the City Council, City Staff and audience.
7. Groups supporting or opposing the same position shall designate a

8. After the citizen has made his or her remarks, he or she will be seated with
no further debate, dialogue or comment.
9. The Public Comment Period is not intended to require the City Council to
answer any impromptu questions. Speakers will address all comments to the City

speakers and members of the audience will not be allowed. The City Council will not
take action, or respond to questions about, issues raised during the Public Comment
Period at the same meeting.
10. Speakers shall refrain from discussing any of the following: matters
which concern the candidacy of any person seeking public office, including the

litigation; matters which have been or will be the subject of a public hearing; and matters
involving specific personnel issues related to disciplinary matters. If the speaker wishes
to address specific personnel issues related to disciplinary matters, he or she should take
their comments to the City Manager, who shall share the comments with the City
Council.
11. Speakers shall be courteous in their language and presentation.
12. The Mayor and City Manager shall determine, on a month to month basis,
where the Public Comment Period will appear on the monthly agenda when developing

scheduled monthly meeting of the City Council. There shall not be a Public Comment
Period at any other meetings of the City Council, unless specifically approved by the City
Council.

the right direction.

ITEMS FOR DECISION
Reimbursement Agreement for
Plug -In Electric Vehicle Charging Station
By Duke Energy
Assistant City Manager Neuschafer stated the City of Dram was awarded an Electric Vehicle Charging Station Grant in the
amount of $5,000.00 for one charging port. Duke Energy has stated that the grant was designed to fully cover the cost of the
Electric Vehicle Charging Station. If funds from the City of Dunn are required once bids are received, the item will come
before the Council for further consideration. We are looking at the Clinton Avenue public parking lot as there are
transformers there already. City Attorney Tilghman Pope has reviewed the reimbursement agreement provided by Duke
Energy,
Council Member Turnage noted in other cities there are directional signs pointing them to the charging station.
Council Member Tart inquired about cost to the City as far as a monthly bill
Assistant City Manager Neuschafer noted the City can opt to cover the maintenance and replacement cost to the charging
station in an agreement. Some places charge nothing while others charge $2.00/hour. Sometimes there is a limit so someone
doesn't stay there all day or night and the price increases as the hours go by.
Council Member Maness noted to be fair for anyone who uses the station pay for the power as opposed it costing the City.
Council Member Maness stated he would like to see what other areas do.
Council Member Turnage agreed that more data is needed from cities of comparable size such as Smithfield
Mayor Harris noted the cities should be along I-95.
Attorney Pope noted procedurally it was fine for Council to accept the grant and later impose fees once you receive further
feedback from staff.
Motion by Council Member Maness and seconded by council Member Turnage to approve the Reimbursement Agreement
for a Plug -In Electric Vehicle Charging Station by Duke Energy. Motion unanimously approved.
Consideration of Ordinance to Demolish House
605-607 S. Fayetteville Avenue
PIN #1516-45-7888.000
Chief Building Inspector Steven King has conducted an inspection at 605-607 S. Fayetteville Avenue and based upon his
observations, the structure failed to comply with the minimum standards of fitness established by the Minimum Housing
Code of the City of Dunn. The Building Inspector also found the dwelling dangerous or prejudicial to the public health or
public safety and is a nuisance in violation of G.S. § 160A-193.
The owner of the property has failed to comply with the Building Inspector's order and according to N.C.G.S. § 160A-443,
the City Council has the power to proceed with the demolition of this property.
This matter was tabled at the December 13, 2016 Council Meeting to be brought before the City Council at the January 10,
2017 Council Meeting to allow the property owner more time to make repairs on the dwelling. At this time the property
owner has not completed any repairs since the December, 2016 Council Meeting.
Building Inspector King noted since his last inspection with Mr. Joyner, no repairs have been made and no permit has been
issued. The only thing Building Inspector King noticed was the yard had been cleaned up.
Should Council decide to proceed with the demolition of the dwelling located at 605-607 S. Fayetteville Avenue, an
ordinance would need approval directing the Building Inspector to remove or demolish said structure.
Motion by Council Member Maness and seconded by Council Member McNeill to adopt the proposed Ordinance Directing
the Building Inspector to proceed with the demolition of the dwelling located at 605-607 S. Fayetteville Avenue PIN #1506-
88-3051.000. Motion unanimously approved. A copy of Ordinance (02017-06) is incorporated into these mintaes as
attachment #8.
Consideration of Ordinance to Demolish House
117 Bruce Drive
PIN# 1506-88-3051.000
Building Inspector Mike Blackman has conducted an inspection at 117 Bruce Drive and based upon his observations, the
structure failed to comply with the minimum standards of fitness established by the Minimum Housing Code of the City of
Dunn, The Building Inspector also found the dwelling dangerous or prejudicial; to the public health or public safety and is a
nuisance in violation of G.S. § 160A-193
The owner of the property has failed to comply with the Building Inspector's order and according to N.C.G.S. § 160A-443,
the city Council has the power to proceed with the demolition of this property.
This matter was tabled at the December 13, 2016 Council Meeting to be brought before the City Council at the January 10,
2017 Council Meeting to allow the property owner more time to make repairs on the dwelling. At this time the property
owner has not completed any repairs since the December, 2016 Council Meeting,
Building Inspector King noted there has not been progress made and I have not heard from the owner
Should Council decide to proceed with the demolition of the dwelling at 117 Bruce Drive, an ordinance would need approval
directing the Building Inspector to remove or demolish said structure.
Motion by Council Member Tumage and seconded by Council Member McNeill to adopt the proposed Ordinance Directing
the Building Inspector to proceed with the demolition of the dwelling located at 117 Bruce Drive PIN #1506-88-3051.000.
Motion unanimously approved. A cop), of Ordinance (02017-07) is incorporated into these minutes as attachment #9.
Consideration of Ordinance to Demolish Structure
510 Spring Branch Road
PIN# 1516-71-5790.000
Chief Building Inspector Steven King has conducted an inspection at 510 Spring Branch Road and based upon his
observations, the structure is in a condition that constitutes a fire and health hazard. The Building Inspector also found the
dwelling dangerous or prejudicial to the public health or public safety and is a nuisance in violation of G.S. § 160A-193.
The owner of the property has failed to comply with the Building Inspector's order and according to N.C.G.S. §160A-443,
the city Council has the power to proceed with the demolition of the property.
Building Inspector King noted Mr. Patel has done a lot of work as far as cleaning out the building. He is in constant contact
with myself and Planning Director Wullenwaber. I have made several site visits and the pool has been removed and about
70% of the motel cleaned out including furniture, In my opinion he has made a good faith effort.
Mayor Han is inquired if Council deferred action they could still proceed with the improvements.
Attorney Pope noted the options to Council would be to table the matter as with others in the past for some period of time to
see what sort of progress is made and continue down that path if you see sufficient progress. The problem that Mr. Patel is
probably having is most banks will not lend money to buy and do repairs with this hanging out there. Other alternatives
would be to look down the ordinance and the current condemnation proceedings would be over and if he didn't follow
through with what he said he would do Building Inspector King could start a new one and that would require some time. The
other possibility would be whether or not if it is the wishes of the Council, his attorney, the banks attorney and myself were
able to get together and come up with some type of agreement that Council would forebear so long as he met certain miles
stones and progress along with renovations or something of that nature where we would be able to craft something that the
lawyers could live with, which that such agreement would require Council approval in the future. If you were going to table it
for additional time to see additional progress, I would suggest at least 60 days based on progress made to date maybe more, to
give us time to talk with the lawyers from the bank and his attorney to see if there was something that could be brought back
to the Council by the time that time period ran out.
Mayor Harris inquired if Council deferred action for 60 days it would give Attorney Pope and the other attorney's time to
draft such a document to move forward.
Attorney Pope noted it would be imperative for Mr. Patel's attorney and whatever lender he is working with to get with the
City to get that done.
Mr. Patel stated he would agree to that.
Council Member Maness noted this is to protect the City and this order is all we have to guarantee that this will be fixed or be
tom down.
Should Council decide to proceed with the demolition of the structure at 510 Spring Branch Road, an ordinance would need
approval directing the Building Inspector to remove or demolish said structure.
Motion by Council Member Maness and seconded by Council Member McNeill to table this matter until the March Council
Meeting with the understanding and stipulation that all of the parties will get together to work out all of the necessary legal
contract or requirements dealing with contingencies to be brought back to Council and that it has been to where lie is able to
obtain financing and purchase the property. Motion unanimously approved.

Rural Economic Development Grant Agreement, Private Owner
BUILDING REUSE PROGRAM 2017-099-3201-2587
The North Carolina Department of Commerce ("Commerce"), an agency of the State of
North Carolina ("State"), enters into this Rural Economic Development Grant Agreement
("Grant Agreement") with the City of Dunn (the "Governmental Unit" and, together with
Commerce, the "Parties").
WHEREAS, the North Carolina General Assembly ("General Assembly") has
determined that it is the policy of the State to stimulate economic activity and to create new jobs
for citizens of the State by providing matching grants or loans to specific local governmental
units so as to productively reuse certain buildings and properties or expand rural health care
facilities subject to the requirements of N.C.G.S. §§ 14313-472.127 and .128; and
WHEREAS, under MC.G.S. § 14313-472.128, the General Assembly created the North
Carolina Rural Infrastructure Authority ("Rural Authority") to review applications for and,
where appropriate, authorize such matching grants or loans, and, under N.C.G.S. §§143B-
472.126 and .127, the General Assembly authorized Commerce to administer such grants or
loans; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to N.C.G.S. §§ 14313-472.127 and .128, and based on the terms,
conditions and representations in this Grant Agreement's Exhibits A (Scope of Project), Exhibit
B (Payment Schedule), Exhibit C (Reporting Schedule), Exhibit D (Closeout Schedule/Job
Requirements), Exhibit E (LBC), Exhibit F (Promissory Note) and Exhibit G (Waiver of
Confidentiality ("Waiver")), the Rural Authority has approved a grant (the "Grant") to the
Governmental Unit; and
WHEREAS, without limitation, the Rural Authority awarded the Grant: (1) based on the
application filed by the Governmental Unit and any subsequent materials supporting the
application that have been approved of by Commerce in writing, all of which are incorporated by
reference herein; (2) based on the representation in the application that Dorothy Adkins (the
"Owner") owns certain real property located at:
219 E. Broad Street
Dunn, NC 28334
in Harnett County, North Carolina (the "Property"); (3) based on Commerce's Grant
requirements and guidelines, which are incorporated herein and which may be amended,
modified or supplemented and applied accordingly to this Grant Agreement by Commerce in its
sole discretion; and for (4) the creation and retention of certain jobs in the course of completing
certain renovations/construction work at the Property (altogether, the "Project," as summarized
in Exhibit A to this Grant Agreement).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and such other valuable
consideration as set out herein, the Parties mutually agree to the following terms and conditions:
Rural Economic Development Grant Agreement, Private Owner
BUILDING REUSE PROGRAM 2017-099-3201-2587
Scope of Program/Agreements to be Executed.
(a). As conditions of the Grant Agreement:
i. The highest elected official of the Governmental Unit shall execute two originals
of this Grant Agreement in its exact form (unless Commerce approves of a
change to its terms in writing) and shall return one of them to Commerce;
ii. The Governmental Unit shall ensure that its highest elected official and a duly
authorized representative of the Owner execute two originals of the Rural
Economic Development Loan Agreement and Legally Binding Commitment
("LBC") in its exact form (unless Commerce approves of a change to its terms in
writing) and shall return one such original to Commerce with the one executed
original of the Grant Agreement;
iii. The Governmental Unit shall ensure with the Owner that every individual or
entity that has any ownership interest in the real property which is the subject of
the Project executes two originals of the Promissory Note attached as Exhibit F
in its exact form and shall return one such original to Commerce with the one
executed originals of the Grant Agreement; and
iv. Exhibit A refers to the entity (or entities, as applicable) required to create and
maintain certain full-time new jobs ("New Jobs") to complete the Project as the
"Company," the "Employer" and the "Business" (together and hereinafter, the
"Business"). The Governmental Unit shall ensure that an authorized
representative of each Business executes a Waiver of Confidentiality ("Waiver"),
attached as Exhibit G, and shall return the original of any such Waiver to
Commerce with the executed originals of the Grant Agreement. The
Governmental Unit shall also ensure that any additional Business which
becomes involved in the Project after the Grant Agreement is finalized executes
a Waiver upon its involvement, the original of which the Governmental Unit
shall promptly forward to Commerce.
(b). The Governmental Unit shall provide Commerce with any information obtained
pursuant to the LBC and allow Commerce to execute any rights of the Governmental
Unit under the LBC, including the Governmental Unit's rights of access, review or
monitoring and Commerce's rights as a third -party beneficiary thereunder.
(c). The Governmental Unit shall exercise all of its rights and duties under the LBC in a
prudent and timely manner to ensure the use of the Grant funds for the intended
purposes and objectives and to preserve the rights of Commerce in this Grant
Agreement and the LBC.
(d). The LBC specifies how many New Jobs the Business must create and maintain in the
performance of the Project and, if the Business fails to do so, those Grant funds that
the Owner must repay to the Governmental Unit for return to Commerce or else repay
directly to Commerce, upon request and as directed. If such New Jobs are not created
or maintained, then the Governmental Unit shall return to Commerce any Grant funds
it has not already disbursed to the Owner, make a timely demand for repayment from
the Owner and, if such repayment is not forthcoming, initiate and fully litigate legal
proceedings against the Owner to recover such repayment.
Rural Economic Development Grant Agreement, Private Owner
BUILDING REUSE PROGRAM 2017-099-3201-2587
(e). Without limitation, failure by the Governmental Unit to timely demand repayment
from and, if necessary, initiate and fully litigate such legal proceedings against the
Owner may affect the future consideration of the Governmental Unit for grant
programs administered by Commerce. Further, and without limitation, if the
Governmental Unit fails to timely initiate legal proceedings against the Owner for
such repayment and Commerce elects to do so instead, the Governmental Unit is
responsible and agrees to reimburse Commerce for all litigation costs and reasonable
attorneys' fees that Commerce incurs in pursuing repayment.
2. Changes in the Project or Other Conditions.
(a). A "Project Change" is any material alteration, addition, deletion or expansion of the
Project, including (without limitation) material changes to construction or
rehabilitation, the terms or conditions of the loan under the LBC ("Loan"), the
required number of New Jobs, the matching investment in the Project, any cessation
of business by the Owner or any Business and any filing of bankruptcy by the
Governmental Unit, the Owner or any Business. There shall be no Project Changes
unless expressly approved of by Commerce in a separate, prior written agreement
stating, if applicable, the costs and schedule for completing the Project Change.
Notwithstanding the foregoing and wherever referred to in this Grant Agreement,
"cessation of business," "ceasing to do business" and "ceases to do business" shall
not include (1) ceasing operations to maintain, service or upgrade real or personal
property of the Owner, (2) seasonal shutdowns of operations as long as such cessation
do not exceed a total of four (4) weeks in any calendar year (excluding time
attributable to an event of force majeure as described below) and (3) under the
circumstances of for the period of time described in Paragraph 17 below.
(b). Additionally, the Governmental Unit shall immediately notify Commerce of any
change in conditions or local law, or any other event, which may significantly affect
its ability to oversee, administer or perform this Grant Agreement, the LBC or the
Project. In its sole and unreviewable discretion, Commerce may deem such a change
in conditions, local law or other event to constitute a Project Change.
Term of Grant Agreement. The effective period of this Grant Agreement shall commence
on 12/15/2016 ("Effective Date") and shall terminate on 12/15/2018 unless terminated on
an earlier date under the terms of this Grant Agreement (either one of which dates shall
constitute the "Termination Date") or unless extended for an express term in writing by the
Governmental Unit.
4. Funding. The Rural Authority grants to the Governmental Unit an amount not to exceed
$25,000.00 for expenditures directly relating to the Project. The Governmental Unit hereby
represents and warrants that all Grant funds shall be utilized exclusively for the purpose of
the Project and consistent with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and requirements, and
that the Governmental Unit shall not make or approve of any improper expenditure of
Grant funds (including Loan funds). Administrative expenses of the Governmental Unit
Rural Economic Development Grant Agreement, Private Owner
BUILDING REUSE PROGRAM 2017-099-3201-2587
are not eligible for Grant funding and any such use of Grant funds will violate this Grant
Agreement.
Independent Status of the Governmental Unit.
(a). The Governmental Unit is an entity independent from the Rural Authority and
Commerce. The Grant Agreement, the LBC, the Project and any actions taken
pursuant to them shall not be deemed to create a partnership or joint venture between
or among Commerce, the Rural Authority, the Governmental Unit or any third party
(including, without limitation, the Owner or any Business). Nor shall the Grant
Agreement, the LBC or the Project be construed to make the Governmental Unit
(including its employees, agents, members or officials) or any third party (including,
without limitation, the Owner or any Business) employees, agents, members or
officials of Commerce or the Rural Authority. Neither the Governmental Unit nor
any third party (including, without limitation, the Owner or any Business) shall have
the ability to bind Commerce or the Rural Authority to any agreement for payment of
goods or services or represent to any person that they have such ability.
(b). The Governmental Unit shall be responsible for payment of all of its expenses,
including rent, office expenses and all forms of compensation to employees. The
Governmental Unit shall provide worker's compensation insurance to the extent
required for its operations and shall accept full responsibility for payments of
unemployment tax or compensation, social security, income taxes, and any other
charges, taxes or payroll deductions required by law in connection with its operations,
for itself and its employees who are performing work pursuant to this Grant
Agreement. All expenses incurred by the Governmental Unit are its sole
responsibility, and neither Commerce nor the Rural Authority shall be liable for the
payment of any obligations incurred in the performance of the Project.
6. Method of Payment. Commerce shall pay the Grant funds to the Governmental Unit in
accordance with the Payment Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit B after receipt of written
requests for payment from the Governmental Unit certifying that the conditions for such
payment under this Grant Agreement have been met and that the Governmental Unit is
entitled to receive the amount so requested and any other documentation that may be
required by Commerce.
Obligation of Funds. The Governmental Unit shall not obligate Grant funds prior to the
Effective Date or subsequent to the Termination Date of this Grant Agreement. All
obligations outstanding as of the Termination Date shall be liquidated within thirty days.
Project Records.

supporting documents and all other pertinent data for the Project in such a manner as

BUILDING REUSE PROGRAM 2017-099-3201-2587
contributions or other revenue sources for this Project.
(b). The Governmental Unit shall retain all financial records, supporting documents and
all other pertinent records related to the Project for a period of five (5) years from the
Termination Date. In the event such records are audited, all Project records shall be
retained beyond the five-year period until the audit is concluded and any and all audit
findings have been resolved.
9. Monitoring, Reports and Auditing.
(a). The Governmental Unit agrees to ensure compliance and provide its assistance with
such monitoring and auditing requirements as the State may request, including
following the Termination Date of this Grant Agreement. Additionally, the
Governmental Unit shall regularly monitor all performance under Grant -supported
activities, including activities performed by the Owner and any Business, to ensure
that time schedules are being met, New Jobs are being created and maintained and
other performance goals are being achieved.
(b). The Governmental Unit shall furnish Commerce detailed written progress reports
according to the time periods specified in Exhibit C or as otherwise requested by
Commerce. Such reports should describe the progress made by the Governmental
Unit, the Owner and any Business toward achieving the purpose(s) of the Project,
including specifically the goals of New Job creation and maintenance. Such
descriptions should include the successes and problems encountered during the
reporting period. Failure to submit a required report by the scheduled submission
date will result in the withholding of any forthcoming payment until Commerce is in
receipt of the delinquent report and the report meets with Commerce's approval, in
Commerce's sole discretion.
(c). The Governmental Unit acknowledges and agrees that, with regard to the Grant
funds, it will be subject to the audit and reporting requirements prescribed by N.C.G.S
§ 159-34, Local Government Finance Act - Annual Independent Audit; rules and
regulations. Such audit and reporting requirements may vary depending upon the
amount and source of Grant funding received by the Governmental Unit and are
subject to change from time to time. Upon completion, the Governmental Unit shall
forward to Commerce one copy of any audited financial statements and
accompanying reports generated covering the period between the Effective Date and
Termination Date of this Grant Agreement.
(d). Within thirty (30) days after the Termination Date, the Governmental Unit shall
submit a final report to Commerce describing the activities and accomplishments of
the Project. The final report shall include a review of performance and activities over
the entire Project period. In the final report, the Governmental Unit should describe
the Project, how it was implemented, to what degree the established Project
objectives were met and the difficulties encountered, what the Project changed and its
cost.
(e). The Governmental Unit grants the State and any of its related agencies, commissions
or departments (including, without limitation, Commerce, the North Carolina State
Rural Economic Development Grant Agreement, Private Owner
BUILDING REUSE PROGRAM 2017-099-3201-2587
Auditor and the North Carolina Office of State Budget and Management) and any of
their authorized representatives, at all reasonable times and as often as necessary
(including after the Termination Date), access to and the right to inspect, copy,
monitor, and examine all of the books, papers, records and other documents relating
to the Grant Agreement, the LBC or the Project. Likewise, the Governmental Unit
shall ensure that the Owner and any Business provide the same access. In addition,
the Governmental Unit agrees to comply at any time, including after the Termination
Date, with any requests by the State (including, without limitation, the Rural
Authority or Commerce) for other financial and organizational materials to permit the
State to comply with its fiscal monitoring responsibilities or to evaluate the short- and
long-range impact of its programs.
10. Termination; Availability of Funds.
(a). If the Governmental Unit fails to fulfill in a timely and proper manner its obligations
or violates any of the covenants or stipulations under this Agreement, if the Owner
fails to fulfill in a timely and proper manner its obligations or violates any of its
covenants or stipulations under the LBC or if any Business fails to fulfill those
requirements applicable to it in the LBC, the Governmental Unit agrees that
Commerce has the right to terminate this Grant Agreement and/or the LBC by giving,
as applicable, the Governmental Unit or the Governmental Unit and the Owner
written notice specifying the Termination Date, which Commerce may determine in
its sole discretion. Upon such termination, Commerce shall have no responsibility to
make additional Grant payments. Upon such termination, the Governmental Unit
shall not expend any Grant funds (including Loan funds) without Commerce's
express written authorization and shall return all unspent Grant funds to Commerce
upon demand.
(b). The obligations of the Rural Authority and/or Commerce to pay any amounts under
this Grant Agreement are contingent upon the availability and continuation of funds
for such purpose. If funds for the Grant (and therefore the Loan) become unavailable,
the Governmental Unit agrees that Commerce has the right to terminate this Grant
Agreement and/or the LBC by giving written notice specifying the Termination Date,
which Commerce shall determine in its sole discretion. Upon such termination, the
State shall have no responsibility to make additional Grant payments. Further, upon
such termination, the Governmental Unit shall not expend any Grant funds (including
Loan funds) without Commerce's express written authorization and shall return all
unspent Grant funds to Commerce upon demand.
11. Liabilities and Loss. The Governmental Unit hereby agrees to release, indemnify and hold
harmless the State (including, without limitation, the Rural Authority and Commerce), and
their respective members, officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys (together, the
"Indemnified Parties"), from any claims of third parties (including, without limitation, the
Owner and the Business) arising out of any act or omission of the Governmental Unit or
any third party (including, without limitation, the Owner and the Business) in connection
Rural Economic Development Grant Agreement, Private Owner
BUILDING REUSE PROGRAM 2017-099-3201-2557
with the performance of this Grant Agreement, the LBC or the Project, and for all losses
arising from their implementation. Without limiting the foregoing, the Governmental Unit
hereby releases the Indemnified Parties from, and agrees that such Indemnified Parties are
not liable for, and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties against,
any and all liability or loss, cost or expense, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees, fines, penalties and civil judgments, resulting from or arising out of or in
connection with or pertaining to, any loss or damage to property or any injury to or death of
any person occurring in connection with the Project, or resulting from any defect in the
fixtures, machinery, equipment or other property used in connection with the Project or
arising out of, pertaining to, or having any connection with, the Project or the financing
thereof (whether arising out of acts, omissions, or negligence of the Governmental Unit or
of any third party (including, without limitation, the Owner and the Business), or of any of
their agents, contractors, servants, employees, licensees, lessees, or assignees), including
any claims and losses accruing to or resulting from any and all subcontractors, material
men, laborers and any other person, firm or corporation furnishing or supplying work,
services, materials or supplies in connection with the Project.
12. Governmental Unit Representations and Warranties. The Governmental Unit hereby
represents and warrants that:
(a). The execution and delivery of this Grant Agreement have been duly authorized by all
necessary Governmental Unit action and are not in contravention of law or in
contravention of the provisions of any indenture agreement or undertaking to which
the Governmental Unit is a party or by which it is bound.
(b). There is no action, suit proceeding, or investigation at law or in equity or before any
court, public board or body pending, or to the knowledge of the Governmental Unit,
threatened against or affecting it, the Owner or the Business, that could or might
adversely affect the Project or any of the transactions contemplated by this Grant
Agreement or the validity or enforceability of this Grant Agreement or the abilities of
the Governmental Unit or the Owner to discharge their obligations under this Grant
Agreement. If it is subsequently found that an action, suit, proceeding, or
investigation did or could threaten or affect the development of the Project, the
Governmental Unit shall be liable to Commerce for repayment of the entire amount of
the Grant and this Grant Agreement may be terminated by Commerce effective upon
notice.
(c). No consent or approval is necessary from any governmental authority as a condition
to the execution and delivery of this Grant Agreement by the Governmental Unit or
the performance of any of its obligations hereunder, or all such requisite
governmental consents or approvals have been obtained. The Governmental Unit
shall provide Commerce with evidence of the existence of any such necessary
consents or approvals at the time of the execution of this Grant Agreement.
(d). The Governmental Unit is solvent.
(e). A cash match grant, loan or other funding ("Cash Match") equal to the amount of the
Loan shall have been unconditionally committed to the Project. The Governmental
Rural Economic Development Grant Agreement, Private Owner
BUILDING REUSE PROGRAM 2017-099-3201-2587
Unit shall have procured and contributed at least five percent (5%) of this Cash
Match, but no part of this 5% contribution can have derived, either directly or
indirectly, from any other State or federal source. All Cash Match funds shall be
utilized exclusively for the purpose of the Project, and there shall be no improper
expenditures of Cash Match funds. All Cash Match funds shall be expended prior to
or simultaneously with and at the same rate as the Owner's expenditure of Loan
funds.
(f). Upon the Governmental Unit's reasonable inquiry of and receipt of supporting
evidence from the Owner, both the Owner and any Business are duly authorized to do
business under North Carolina law and are not delinquent on any federal, state or
local taxes, licenses or fees.
13. Cessation/Termination, Bankruptcy, Dissolution or Insolvency.
(a). Under the LBC, the Owner agrees at all times to preserve its legal existence, except
that it may merge or consolidate with or into, or sell all or substantially all of its
assets to, any entity that expressly undertakes, assumes for itself and agrees in writing
to be bound by all of the obligations and undertakings of the Owner contained in the
LBC. If the Owner so merges, consolidates or sells its assets without such an
undertaking being provided, it agrees in the LBC to repay to the Governmental Unit
or Commerce, upon request and as directed, all unspent Loan funds. Further, a
merger, consolidation or sale without such an undertaking shall constitute a material
default under the LBC, and the Governmental Unit or Commerce may terminate the
LBC upon written notice to the Owner and hold the Owner liable for any other
repayment provided for under the LBC.
(b). Other than as provided for in Paragraph 13(a) above, if the Owner or any Business
ceases to do business or becomes the subject of any bankruptcy, dissolution or

the terms or provisions hereof. No waiver of the State of any condition or the breach of any
term, provision or representation contained in this Grant Agreement or the LBC, whether

consolidate with or into or sell all or substantially all of its assets to any entity that
expressly undertakes, assumes for itself and agrees in writing to be bound by all of
the obligations and undertakings of the Owner contained in this LBC. If the Owner
so merges, consolidates or sells its assets without such an undertaking being provided,
it agrees to repay to the Governmental Unit or Commerce, upon request and as
directed, all unspent Loan funds. Further, any merger, consolidation or sale without
such an undertaking shall constitute a material default under this LBC, and the
Governmental Unit or Commerce may terminate the LBC upon written notice to the
Owner and hold the Owner liable for any other repayment provided for under this
LBC.
(b). Other than as provided for in Paragraph 12(a), if the Owner or any Business ceases to

13. Additional Repayment Requirements and Remedies.
(a). The repayment requirements and remedies addressed in this Paragraph 13 are in
addition to those repayment requirements and other remedies set forth elsewhere in
this LBC, including the requirements to repay unspent Loan funds. No remedy
conferred or reserved by or to the State or the Governmental Unit is intended to be
exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each and every such remedy
shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy provided for in this
LBC, or now or hereinafter existing at law, in equity, or by statute, and any such right
or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed
expedient.
(b). The Owner acknowledges that the Grant by the Rural Authority and the Loan by the
Governmental Unit are predicated upon the creation and maintenance of the New
Jobs and maintenance of the Baseline Number of jobs required by Paragraph 3(a) and
that failure to create and/or maintain them will constitute a material default of this
LBC.
i. If the Business fails to create and maintain such New Jobs, then the Owner shall
repay to the Governmental Unit or Commerce, as directed, an amount equal to
the product of (i) $5,000.00 (the amount of Loan funds divided by the number
of New Jobs required to be created in Paragraph 3(a) and (ii) the number of
New Jobs required to be created in Paragraph 3(a), minus the number of New
Jobs actually created, above the Baseline Number reported, that have been in
existence for six (6) consecutive months.
ii. Additionally, in the event that the Business fails to maintain its Baseline
Number of jobs as required under Paragraph 3(a), the Business shall lose credit
for any qualifying New Jobs under this LBC by the same number of jobs that
the Baseline Number is short. For example, if the Baseline Number of jobs falls
short by three (3) jobs as of the date the Business has created and maintained all
required New Jobs, the number of New Jobs deemed created and maintained
shall be reduced by three (3). The amount the Business must repay shall then
be calculated in accordance with Paragraph 13(b)i.
iii. Either Commerce or the Governmental Unit shall notify the Owner in writing of
the amount to be repaid and direct the Owner whether to repay such amount to
the Governmental Unit for return to Commerce or repay the amount directly to
Commerce. All such amounts shall be due immediately upon demand by the
Governmental Unit or Commerce. If not paid within thirty (30) days following
demand, the unpaid amount due hereunder and under the Promissory Note shall
bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum after demand until paid. Upon
default in such payment, the Governmental Unit or Commerce may employ an
attorney to enforce their respective rights and remedies, and the Owner hereby
agrees to pay the legal costs and reasonable attorneys' fees of the Governmental
Unit and Commerce plus all other reasonable expenses incurred by such party
in exercising any of its rights and remedies upon such defaults.
(c). If there is a breach of any of the requirements, covenants or agreements in this LBC
(including, without limitation, a failure to repay the amount required under Paragraph
13 (b) within the time required), or if there are any representations or warranties which
are untrue as to a material fact in this LBC or in relation to the LBC or the Project
(including the performance thereof), the Owner agrees that the Governmental Unit or
Rural Economic Development Loan Agreement and EXHIBIT E
Legally Binding Commitment, Private Owner
BUILDING REUSE PROGRAM 2017-099-3201-2587
Commerce may require repayment from the Owner of an amount of Loan funds to be
determined in their sole discretion but not to exceed the amount of Loan funds the
Owner has already received under this LBC. Such requirements, covenants or
agreements include but are not limited to Paragraphs 2, 3, 4, 9, 11 and 12 of this LBC.
14. No Waiver by Governmental Unit or the State. Failure of the Governmental Unit or the
State (including, without limitation, the Rural Authority and Commerce) at any time to
require performance of any term or provision of this LBC shall in no manner affect the
rights of the Governmental Unit or the State at a later date to enforce the same or to enforce
any future compliance with or performance of any of the terms or provisions hereof. No
waiver of the Governmental Unit or the State of any condition or the breach of any term,
provision or representation contained in this LBC, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any
one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver
of any such condition or of the breach of that or any other term, provision or representation.
15. Waiver of Objections to Timeliness of Legal Action. The Owner knowingly waives any
objections it has or may have to timeliness of any legal action (including any administrative
petition or civil action) by the Governmental Unit or the State (including Commerce) to
enforce their rights under this LBC. This waiver includes any objections the Owner may
possess based on the statutes of limitations or repose and the doctrines of estoppel or
laches.
16. Special Provisions and Conditions.
(a). Nondiscrimination. The Owner agrees that it will not, and will ensure that the
Business will not, discriminate by reason of age, race, religion, color, sex, national
origin or disability related to the activities of this LBC or the Project.
(b). Compliance with Laws. The Owner shall at all times, and shall cause any Business at
all times to, observe and comply with all laws, regulations, codes, rules, ordinances
and other requirements (together, "Laws") of the state, federal and local governments
which may in any manner affect the performance of the LBC or the Project.
(c). Non -Assignability. The Owner shall not assign or transfer any interest in the LBC
without the prior written consent of the Governmental Unit and Commerce; provided
however, that claims for money due to the Owner from the Governmental Unit under
this LBC may be assigned to any commercial bank or other financial institution
without such approval.
(d). Personnel. The Owner represents that it and any Business have or will secure at their
own expense all personnel required to monitor, carry out and perform the scope of
services of this LBC and the Project. Such employees shall not be employees of the
State (including, without limitation, the Rural Authority or Commerce) or the
Governmental Unit. Such personnel shall be fully qualified and shall be authorized
under state and local law to perform such services.

$25,000.00 Dollars but which amount shall not exceed the amount of Loan funds the Owner has
actually received under the LBC, plus interest and attorney's fees as addressed below. Unless

North Carolina to the Governmental Unit, subject to certain clawback provisions; (iv) Commerce
is an intended third -party beneficiary to the LBC and to this Promissory Note; and (v) the LBC
specifies those circumstances in which the Governmental Unit or Commerce can terminate the
LBC and require the Owner to repay an amount of Loan funds according to a formula or else in
an amount to be determined in the sole discretion of the Governmental Unit or Commerce but
which amount shall not exceed the amount of Loan funds the Owner has actually received under
the LBC.
Upon default, the Governmental Unit and/or Commerce may employ attorneys to enforce
their rights and remedies under this Promissory Note and the LBC, and the Owner agrees to pay
their reasonable attorneys' fees, plus all other reasonable expenses they incur in exercising their
rights and remedies upon default. The rights and remedies of the Governmental Unit and
Promissory Note, Private Owner EXHIBIT F
BUILDING REUSE PROGRAM
2017-099-3201-2587
Commerce, as described in this Promissory Note and the LBC, shall be cumulative and may be
pursued singly, successively or together against the Owner (including each of the undersigned),
the Property, or any other funds, property or security held by the Owner for payment or security,
in the sole discretion of the Governmental Unit and Commerce. The failure to exercise any such
right or remedy shall not be a waiver or release of such rights or remedies or the right to exercise
any of them at another time.
The Owner hereby waives protest, presentment, notice of dishonor and notice of
acceleration and maturity and agrees to remain bound for the payment of principal, interest and
all other sums due under this Promissory Note and the LBC, notwithstanding any change or

Loan funds the Owner has actually received under the LBC but, failing to receive repayment
and, in its discretion under the LBC, increases the Loan repayment demand ("Second Demand")
to the full amount the Owner has received under the LBC, then such interest on the difference

Demand.

expenditure of Loan funds, the Governmental Unit has the discretion to require in a First
Demand the partial repayment of Loan funds received by the Owner. Interest will begin to
accrue at 10% per annum on whatever portion of the sum is not repaid as of the 31" day after the

on the additional unpaid principal Loan amount in the Second Demand.
Payment shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America via United
States Mail First Class, Federal Express or UPS to the attention of the person at the address or in

Dear Official(s):
Mr. Ronald D. Autry, Manager
City of Dunn
401 E. Broad Street
Dunn, NC 28334
We feel like this needs to be said. Communities across America, including our own, have spent plenty of time talking
about racism, and instances of police brutality. Those concerns are real and need to be corrected. We must never turn a
blind eye to these problems.
But at the same time, I think sometimes we fail to say thank you to the brave souls who do put their lives on the line to
help ensure a safe society. Police officers daily see the worst elements of humanity and operate under extreme pressure
with professionalism and show respect to those who do not always return the favor. That is a credit to them.
Yesterday the very best was on display in the City of Dunn. Everybody we talked to was immensely impressed with how
the Dunn police conducted themselves. Sgt. Clark White and others were as courteous and professional as we have ever
encountered.
Yes, the police have always been good on MLK parade day, but it was something a little different this year. We want to
say thank you to the City of Dunn and the many good police officers at the police department who serve our community,
keep us safe, keep getting up and going every day and do it all for low pay and little thanks.
Please consider this letter is our applause to the City of Dunn and the police department. We appreciate you.
With respect,
The Harnett County Martin Luther King, Jr. Committee

Subject: Final Closeout
CDBG 13-E-2604 / Rooms To Go Water & Sewer Project
Dear Mayor Harris:
We have reviewed the final audit submitted to close the above referenced grant. The company
has created the jobs pledged in the Legally Binding Commitment and the construction of the
water and sewer lines, and two water storage tanks has been completed. The FY 2016 audit
accounted for all CDBG funds expended. The grant is officially closed effective the date of this
letter. HUD regulations require all records relating to the grant be retained until January 20,
2022.
Congratulations on the completion of your economic development project. We look forward to
working with the City on other CDBG projects in the future.
Sincerely,
George Sherrill
Director, CDBG Programs
