R. Alan Leonard, Director of Business Development, Community Home Care & Hospice,
reported to the Board on the Community Home Care and Hospice business objectives
within Harnett County during FY 2006. There is a proposal to build a facility in Harnett
County that is scheduled to start construction in 30 to 60 days and will open in about 9
months. They currently have a certificate of need (CON) for 7 beds and they want to
apply for an additional 7 beds to bring the total to 14. The facility blueprint mimics a
homelike environment providing as many natural surroundings as possible. The requisite
clinical patient care and support areas for the medical, social, and spiritual needs patients
require for end of life care are all part of the overall design. This type of hospice
facilities are reserved for inpatient use, usually during the last ten days of life of the
hospice patient.
Neil Emory, County Manager, noted that the North Carolina Association of County
Commissioners (NCACC) has asked that county officials contact legislators regarding the
elections equipment issue. The Association advocates more time, more money and more
choices for counties to implement the requirements of S223 “Public Confidence in
Elections.”
Departmental Reports were filed with the Board from Animal Control, Planning and
Emergency Medical Services.
Commissioner McNeill moved that the Board go into closed session for the following
purpose:
To consult with the County Attorney and staff concerning the handling of various

Harnett County vs B.C. Properties
This motion is made pursuant to N.C. General Statute Section 143-318.11(a)(3).

Commissioner Andrews seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
Wm. A. (Tony) Wilder, Assistant County Manager, presented a request from Progress
Energy for a ten-foot wide easement for an underground power line to provide power to
Attorney Jason Wunsch’s new office building on McKinney Parkway. The proposed
easement abuts the fence on the property line around Lillington Ford. Jennie Pratt,
representative of Progress Energy, noted that the easement is needed short term until it
becomes feasible for a larger line to be installed beside McKinney Parkway sometime in
the future. Commissioner McNeill moved to approve conveyance of the easement as
requested with the condition that at the time when a larger line is installed along the
roadway, this easement property will be abandoned by Progress Energy and will revert to
the County. Commissioner Andrews seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
Ms. Pratt will have a letter from Progress Energy sent to the County stating that addition
to the easement agreement.
There being no further business, Vice Chairman Hill moved to adjourn. Commissioner
Andrews seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. The Harnett County Board of
