No. 107-2037 NY Alarm Installer UID #12000346617 ATTACHMENT ‘A’ Due to current economic factors, supply chains are being disrupted at all levels, including raw materials, parts manufacturing, subassemblies, complete product assemblies, and shipping. These disruptions are indefinitely delaying some deliveries with many more items being added to the list daily for the foreseeable future. During this timeframe, Cornerstone cannot guarantee delivery times and project schedules. Cornerstone considers this situation to be a Force Majeure event. This proposal expressly rejects liquidated damages, back charges, and delay penalties for material deliveries, installation, and project schedules, regardless of bid documentation requirements for the same, as the potential delays relate to unavailability of, limited ability or inability to obtain, labor or materials by reason of acts of any governmental body which disrupts, slows or affects the supply or availability of labor or materials, including but not limited to those arising or resulting from the spread of, or efforts to contain the spread of, illness on a global, national, state or local level. By acceptance of this proposal, any requirement for liquidated damages, back charges, and delay penalties are waived and considered null and void.

Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, (“The Stafford Act”), 42 U.S.C. § 5121 et seq., identifies the use of disaster relief funds under 5170c, Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, including the acquisition and relocation of structures in the floodplain; WHEREAS, the mitigation grant program provides a process for a local government, through the State, to apply for federal funds for mitigation assistance to acquire interests in property, including the purchase of structures in the floodplain, to demolish and/or remove the structures, and to maintain the use of the Property as open space in perpetuity; WHEREAS, the State of North Carolina, North Carolina Department of Public Safety’s Division of Emergency Management (“NCEM”) has applied for and been awarded such funding from the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”) and has entered into a mitigation grant program Grant Agreement dated 4412-0002 with FEMA and herein incorporated by reference; making it a mitigation grant program grantee. WHEREAS, the Property is located in Harnett County, and Harnett County participates in the National Flood Insurance Program (“NFIP”) and is in good standing with NFIP as of the date of the Deed; WHEREAS, the Harnett County Department of Emergency Management, acting by and through the NC Department of Public Safety Board, has applied for and been awarded federal funds pursuant to an agreement with NCEM dated September 1, 2022, and herein incorporated by reference, making it a mitigation grant program sub-grantee; WHEREAS, the terms of the mitigation grant program statutory authorities, Federal program requirements consistent with 44 C.F.R. Part 80, the Grant Agreement, and the State-local Agreement require that the Grantee agree to conditions that restrict the use of the land to open space in perpetuity in order to protect and preserve natural floodplain values; NOW THEREFORE, the grant is made subject to the following terms and conditions: 1. Terms. Pursuant to the terms of the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program statutory authorities, Federal program requirements consistent with 44 C.F.R. Part 80, the Grant Agreement, and the State-local Agreement, the following conditions and restrictions shall apply in perpetuity to the Property described in the attached deed and acquired by the Grantee pursuant to FEMA program requirements concerning the acquisition of property for open space: a. Compatible Uses. The Property shall be dedicated and maintained in perpetuity as open space for the conservation of natural floodplain functions. Such uses may include: parks for outdoor recreational activities; wetlands management; nature reserves; cultivation; grazing; camping (except where adequate warning time is not HCBOC 050624 Pg. 130 available to allow evacuation); unimproved, unpaved parking lots; buffer zones; and other uses consistent with FEMA guidance for open space acquisition, Hazard Mitigation Assistance, Requirements for Property Acquisition and Relocation for Open Space. b. Structures. No new structures or improvements shall be erected on the Property other than: i. A public facility that is open on all sides and functionally related to a designated open space or recreational use; ii. A public rest room; or iii. A structure that is compatible with open space and conserves the natural function of the floodplain, including the uses described in Paragraph 1.a., above, and approved by the FEMA Administrator in writing before construction of the structure begins. iv. Any improvements on the Property shall be in accordance with proper floodplain management policies and practices. Structures built on the Property according to paragraph b of this section shall be floodproofed or elevated to at least the base flood level plus one (1) foot of freeboard, or greater, if required by FEMA, or if required by any State, Tribal, or local ordinance, and in accordance with criteria established by the FEMA Administrator. c. Disaster Assistance and Flood Insurance. No Federal entity or source may provide disaster assistance for any purpose with respect to the Property, nor may any application for such assistance be made to any Federal entity or source. The Property is not eligible for coverage under the NFIP for damage to structures on the property occurring after the date of the property settlement, except for pre-existing structures being relocated off the property as a result of the project. d. Transfer. The Grantee, including successors in interest, shall convey any interest in the Property only if the FEMA Regional Administrator, through the State (NCEM), gives prior written approval of the transferee in accordance with this paragraph. i. The request by the Grantee, through NCEM, to the FEMA Regional Administrator must include a signed statement from the proposed transferee that it acknowledges and agrees to be bound by the terms of this section, and documentation of its status as a qualified conservation organization if applicable. ii. The Grantee may convey a property interest only to a public entity or to a qualified conservation organization. However, the Grantee may convey an easement or lease to a private individual or entity for purposes compatible with the uses described in paragraph (a), of this section, with the prior approval of the FEMA Regional Administrator, and HCBOC 050624 Pg. 131 so long as the conveyance does not include authority to control and enforce the terms and conditions of this section. iii. If title to the Property is transferred to a public entity other than one with a conservation mission, it must be conveyed subject to a conservation agreement that shall be recorded with the deed and shall incorporate all terms and conditions set forth in this section, including the easement holder’s responsibility to enforce the easement. This shall be accomplished by one of the following means: A. The Grantee shall convey, in accordance with this paragraph, a conservation easement to an entity other than the title holder, which shall be recorded with the deed, or B. At the time of title transfer, the Grantee shall retain such conservation easement and record it with the deed. iv. Conveyance of any property interest must reference and incorporate the original deed restrictions providing notice of the conditions in this section and must incorporate a provision for the property interest to revert to the State, Tribe, or local government in the event that the transferee ceases to exist or loses its eligible status under this section. 2. Inspection. FEMA, its representatives and assigns including the state or tribe shall have the right to enter upon the Property, at reasonable times and with reasonable notice, for the purpose of inspecting the Property to ensure compliance with the terms of this part, the Property conveyance and of the grant award. 3.

FEMA, its representatives, and assignees may enforce the terms of the grant by taking any measures it deems appropriate, including but not limited to one or more of the following: A. Withholding FEMA mitigation awards or assistance from the State or Tribe, and Grantee; and current holder of the property interest. B. Requiring transfer of the title.

This right also includes timely and reasonable access to Harnett’s personnel for the purpose of interview and discussion related to such documents. Corrective Action Harnett shall take appropriate corrective action within six (6) months after receipt of an audit report (or such shorter period as may be specified by IIR) in instances of noncompliance with federal laws and regulations. HCBOC 050624 Pg. 179 Attachment B – 4134-2024-003 County of Harnett 9 Disallowance In the event that Harnett claims and receives payments from IIR hereunder, reimbursement for which is later disallowed by IIR or the United States government, Harnett shall, upon request, promptly refund to IIR the disallowed amount. At its option, IIR may offset the amount disallowed from any payment due or to become due to Harnett.

If, in the three (3) years prior to the date of the grant award supporting this effort, Harnett has received any adverse finding of discrimination, or should Harnett during the active life of this contract receive an adverse finding of discrimination against Harnett, after a due process hearing or by reason of a U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), Office for Civil Rights compliance review, on the ground of race, color, religion, national origin, or sex, Harnett must submit a copy of the finding to IIR for review. IIR may be required to forward a copy of any such finding of discrimination to the Office for Civil Rights. Harnett certifies that it is either in compliance with the applicable Equal Employment Opportunity Plan (EEOP) requirements or that it claims a complete or limited exemption from the EEOP requirements and has completed the EEOP Certification Form. Limited English Proficiency Harnett agrees to take reasonable steps to provide meaningful access to the program/project and activities funded under this Agreement for persons with limited English proficiency, pursuant to information located at http://www.lep.gov. Equal Treatment of Faith-Based Organizations By regulation, DOJ prohibits all recipient organizations from using financial assistance from DOJ to fund explicitly religious activities. Harnett agrees to avoid such prohibited conduct. For more information, see https://ojp.gov/about/ocr/partnerships.htm. Discrimination on the basis of religion in employment is generally prohibited by federal law, but the Religious Freedom Restoration Act is interpreted on a case-by-case basis to allow some faith-based organizations to receive DOJ funds while taking into account religion when hiring staff members. Questions in this regard should be directed to the Office for Civil Rights. Arrest and Conviction Records Federal and state laws restrict use of arrest and conviction records in the employment context, except when specifically authorized. Harnett agrees to avoid the misuse of arrest or conviction records to screen applicants for employment or employees for retention or promotion that may HCBOC 050624 Pg. 180 Attachment B – 4134-2024-003 County of Harnett 10 have a disparate impact based on race or national origin, resulting in unlawful employment discrimination unless use is otherwise specifically authorized by law.

Byrd Anti-Lobbying Amendment (31 U.S.C. § 1352) Harnett will not use and has not used federal appropriated funds to pay at any tier, either directly or indirectly, any person or organization for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of any agency, a member of Congress, an officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a member of Congress in connection with obtaining any federal contract, grant, or any other award or subaward covered by 31 United States Code (U.S.C.) § 1352. Each tier shall also disclose any lobbying with nonfederal funds that takes place in connection with obtaining any federal award or subaward. Such disclosures are forwarded from tier to tier up to the recipient. Harnett shall (i) comply and, for subawards or subcontracts hereunder that exceed $100,000, require its subcontractors hereunder to comply with the lobbying restrictions of the Byrd Anti - Lobbying Amendment (31 U.S.C. § 1352) and (ii) ensure that its officers, employees, and, for subawards or subcontracts hereunder that exceed $100,000, its subcontractors hereunder comply with all applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations governing advocacy of and appearances before any legislative body.

System for Award Management (SAM) Registration Harnett represents that Harnett’s registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) is active and that the SAM registration will be maintained throughout the period of the Agreement. Should the registration become other than active, Harnett will promptly notify IIR. If the SAM registration is not active, payments to Harnett for invoices submitted may be delayed until the SAM registration becomes active. If the SAM registration does not return to an active status within thirty (30) days, the Agreement may be terminated. Debarment and Suspension No contract that equals or exceeds $25,000 shall be made to parties listed as suspended or debarred in the SAM. See https://www.sam.gov/SAM/ for more information.

If Harnett is debarred, suspended, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this covered transaction, payments to Harnett for invoices submitted to IIR may be delayed and/or the Agreement may be terminated. HCBOC 050624 Pg. 181 Attachment B – 4134-2024-003 County of Harnett 11 False Claim; Criminal or Civil Violation Harnett must promptly refer to IIR any credible evidence that a principal, employee, agent, contractor, subgrantee, subcontractor, or other person has either (i) submitted a false claim for grant funds under the False Claims Act or (ii) committed a criminal or civil violation of laws pertaining to fraud, conflict of interest, bribery, gratuity, or similar misconduct involving subaward agreement funds.

HCBOC 050624 Pg. 187 Attachment C – 4134-2024-003 County of Harnett 17 ATTACHMENT C Institute for Intergovernmental Research (IIR) Breach of Personally Identifiable Information Procedures (September 2018) These procedures apply to any actual, imminent, or attempted but unsuccessful breach of personally identifiable information (PII) created, collected, used, processed, stored, maintained, disseminated, or disclosed by the Institute for Intergovernmental Research (IIR) by IIR employees and those performing efforts on behalf of IIR. Definitions • Personally identifiable information encompasses “personal information,” as may be defined by state law, as well as any other information that can be used to distinguish or trace an individual’s identity, either alone or when combined with other information that is linked or linkable to a specific individual.1 • Breach means the loss of control over, the unauthorized disclosure or acquisition of, or any similar occurrence affecting IIR PII where: (1) An unauthorized user accesses or potentially accesses PII; or (2) An authorized user accesses or potentially accesses PII for an other- than-authorized purpose.2 “Breach” includes attempted but unsuccessful attempts, events such as the loss or theft of physical documents containing PII, the loss or theft of portable electronic devices storing PII, the inadvertent disclosure of PII on a public website, or oral disclosure of PII to a person not authorized to receive that information.3 A reported or known incident may, upon investigation, later be determined to have involved a breach of PII. • Incident is an occurrence that (1) actually or imminently jeopardizes, without lawful authority, the integrity, confidentiality, or availability of information or an information system; or (2) constitutes a violation or imminent threat of violation of law, security policies, security procedures, or acceptable use policies.4 1 See 2 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) § 200.79. PII, for breach purposes, may include information about an individual that is available in public sources. The term “PII” is necessarily broad. To determine whether breached information is PII, IIR must per form on a case-by-case basis an assessment of the specific risk that an individual can be identified using the information with other information th at is linked or linkable to the individual and applicable federal and state law. PII, for breach purposes, might not include information that is encrypted, secured, anonymized, or modified by any other method or technology that removes elements that personally identify an individual or that otherwise renders the information unusable. See, for example, Office of Management and Budget (OMB) M-17-12 at https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/sites/default/files/omb/memoranda/2017/m-17-12_0.pdf. 2 OMB M-17-12. 3 Good-faith access of personal information by an employee or agent of IIR may not constitute a breach, provided that the information is not used for a purpose unrelated to the business or subject to further unauthorized use. State statutory definitions of “breach” must also be reviewed in states where IIR employees or those performing efforts on behalf of IIR deal with PII (e.g., Section 501.171, Florida Statutes, and Tennessee Code § 47-18-2107). 4 OMB M-17-12. HCBOC 050624 Pg. 188 Attachment C – 4134-2024-003 County of Harnett 18 IIR Breach Standards IIR shall take reasonable measures to protect and secure data in electronic or any other form containing PII and shall promptly respond to any suspected or actual breach of PII. In handling PII, IIR is responsible for providing information security protections against the harm resulting from the unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or direction of: (1) Information collected or maintained by IIR or on behalf of entities for which IIR is performing services or efforts. (2) Information systems used or operated by IIR on behalf of entities for which IIR is performing services or efforts. Any third party acting on behalf of IIR who handles, maintains, or accesses systems for IIR that contain PII shall follow these IIR standards and procedures. Any reported suspected or actual breach of PII involving IIR operations or the operations of those acting on behalf of IIR must be promptly addressed. IIR will conform with all required breach notifications or other obligations related to IIR breaches of PII, as defined by applicable federal and state laws.5 All IIR employees and any other individuals handling, maintaining, or accessing PII on behalf of IIR at any location shall immediately report a suspected or confirmed breach in any form to the IIR Chief Information Officer (CIO). Do not wait for confirmation that a breach has in fact occurred before reporting a suspected breach to the CIO. Undue delay may undermine IIR’s ability to apply preventative and remedial measures to protect the PII or reduce the risk of harm to potentially affected individuals. Any misplaced, lost, or potentially stolen device containing PII should be reported to the CIO immediately, even if there is a belief that the device may later be located.6 If the CIO is unavailable, notify an IIR manager. That manager must then promptly ensure that appropriate IIR IT security personnel are immediately notified. The CIO will notify the IIR Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the actual or suspected breach and take appropriate steps to respond to any actual or suspected breach, including ensuring that required notifications are timely made.7 The CIO may enlist the assistance of others within IIR to help implement a prompt and effective response to a breach and to ensure that applicable federal and state law requirements are met. The response of IIR shall 5 Section 501.171, Florida Statutes, applies to IIR’s Florida activities, since IIR is a Florida corporation. Tennessee Code § 47-18-2107 applies to IIR’s Tennessee-sited activities. Statutes of other states in which IIR employees or agents handle PII may also apply on a case-by-case basis. 6 Such devices include, but are not limited to, laptops, tablets, and cell phones. 7 Notices may be required by federal or state law, grant special conditions, or government rules or regulations. HCBOC 050624 Pg. 189 Attachment C – 4134-2024-003 County of Harnett 19 take into account the nature of the breach, the context in which the PII has been breached, and the actual or probable risk of harm to individuals potentially affected by a breach.8 Failure by IIR employees to conform with these requirements may result in discipline. Failure by entities under contract with IIR to conform with applicable requirements may result in termination of their contractual status. Compliance With Federal Grant Breach Notification Requirements When IIR, as a grant recipient, uses or operates a federal information system9 or creates, collects, uses, processes, stores, maintains, disseminates, discloses, or disposes of PII within the scope of a federal award, IIR shall ensure that its procedures to respond to a breach are followed and that IIR conforms with any terms and conditions imposed by its client(s) in the event of a breach. As required by federal grant conditions, IIR must report an actual or imminent breach of PII to an OJP (award) Program Manager no later than 24 hours after an occurrence of an actual breach or the detection of an imminent breach. Compliance With State Notice Requirements IIR and entities acting on behalf of IIR shall ensure that they comply with all notification obligations required by state law applicable to the site in which IIR activities involving PII are occurring. After-Action Report The IIR CIO shall conduct an internal analysis of any attempted or actual breach of PII collected or maintained by IIR to determine whether additional security standards or other procedures are needed and whether all required actions, notifications, and responses have occurred in a timely fashion. The CIO should forward a formal written after-action report to the IIR CEO, including any suggested revisions to current procedures or needed additional security standards. 8 For example, a generic list of law enforcement personnel and their associated office phone numbers may not be of concern. However, a list of law enforcement personnel engaged in undercover investigations, a list revealing family members or residential addresses, and PII revealing personal medical information are of concern. 9 See OMB Circular A-130. 4134-2024-003 Harnett Subaward Agree Attach A-B-C mar24 HCBOC 050624 Pg. 190 Entity Name on Subaward Entity FEIN Number (must be 9 digits) SAM.gov Unique Entity ID (UEI) Amount of Subaward Start Date of Subaward End Date of Subaward NO NO Enter total compensation* earned in the preceding fiscal year per the instructions below: *Total Compensation shall be calculated based on the sum of (1) through (6) below: (1) Salary and bonus.

Compliance with any assurances or certifications submitted by or on behalf of the recipient that relate to conduct during the period of performance also is a material requirement of this award. Limited Exceptions. In certain special circumstances, the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") may determine that it will not enforce, or enforce only in part, one or more requirements otherwise applicable to the award. Any such exceptions regarding enforcement, including any such exceptions made during the period of performance, are (or will be during the period of performance) set out through the Office of Justice Programs ("OJP") webpage entitled "Legal Notices: Special circumstances as to particular award conditions" (ojp.gov/funding/Explore/LegalNotices-AwardReqts.htm), and incorporated by reference into the award. By signing and accepting this award on behalf of the recipient, the authorized recipient official accepts all material requirements of the award, and specifically adopts, as if personally executed by the authorized recipient official, all assurances or certifications submitted by or on behalf of the recipient that relate to conduct during the period of performance. Failure to comply with one or more award requirements -- whether a condition set out in full HCBOC 050624 Pg. 195 Page 5 of 20 below, a condition incorporated by reference below, or an assurance or certification related to conduct during the award period -- may result in OJP taking appropriate action with respect to the recipient and the award. Among other things, the OJP may withhold award funds, disallow costs, or suspend or terminate the award. DOJ, including OJP, also may take other legal action as appropriate. Any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement to the federal government related to this award (or concealment or omission of a material fact) may be the subject of criminal prosecution (including under 18 U.S.C. 1001 and/or 1621, and/or 34 U.S.C. 10271-10273), and also may lead to imposition of civil penalties and administrative remedies for false claims or otherwise (including under 31 U.S.C. 3729-3730 and 3801-3812). Should any provision of a requirement of this award be held to be invalid or unenforceable by its terms, that provision shall first be applied with a limited construction so as to give it the maximum effect permitted by law. Should it be held, instead, that the provision is utterly invalid or -unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed severable from this award. 12 Compliance with DOJ regulations pertaining to civil rights and nondiscrimination - 28 C.F.R. Part 42 The recipient, and any subrecipient ("subgrantee") at any tier, must comply with all applicable requirements of 28 C.F.R.

Notify all persons associated with the recipient (or any subrecipient) who are or will be involved in activities under this award of both-- (1) this award requirement for verification of employment eligibility, and (2) the associated provisions in 8 U.S.C. 1324a(a)(1) that, generally speaking, make it unlawful, in the United States, to hire (or recruit for employment) certain aliens. C. Provide training (to the extent necessary) to those persons required by this condition to be notified of the award requirement for employment eligibility verification and of the associated provisions of 8 U.S.C. 1324a(a)(1). D. As part of the recordkeeping for the award (including pursuant to the Part 200 Uniform Requirements), maintain records of all employment eligibility verifications pertinent to compliance with this award condition in accordance with Form I-9 record retention requirements, as well as records of all pertinent notifications and trainings. 2. Monitoring The recipient's monitoring responsibilities include monitoring of subrecipient compliance with this condition. 3. Allowable costs To the extent that such costs are not reimbursed under any other federal program, award funds may be obligated for the reasonable, necessary, and allocable costs (if any) of actions designed to ensure compliance with this condition. 4. Rules of construction A. Staff involved in the hiring process For purposes of this condition, persons "who are or will be involved in activities under this award" specifically includes (without limitation) any and all recipient (or any subrecipient) officials or other staff who are or will be involved in the hiring process with respect to a position that is or will be funded (in whole or in part) with award funds. B. Employment eligibility confirmation with E-Verify For purposes of satisfying the requirement of this condition regarding verification of employment eligibility, the recipient (or any subrecipient) may choose to participate in, and use, E-Verify (www.e-verify.gov), provided an appropriate person authorized to act on behalf of the recipient (or subrecipient) uses E-Verify (and follows the proper E-Verify procedures, including in the event of a "Tentative Nonconfirmation" or a "Final Nonconfirmation") to confirm HCBOC 050624 Pg. 197 Page 7 of 20 employment eligibility for each hiring for a position in the United States that is or will be funded (in whole or in part) with award funds. C. "United States" specifically includes the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands of the United States, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. D. Nothing in this condition shall be understood to authorize or require any recipient, any subrecipient at any tier, or any person or other entity, to violate any federal law, including any applicable civil rights or nondiscrimination law. E. Nothing in this condition, including in paragraph 4.B., shall be understood to relieve any recipient, any subrecipient at any tier, or any person or other entity, of any obligation otherwise imposed by law, including 8 U.S.C. 1324a(a)(1). Questions about E-Verify should be directed to DHS. For more information about E-Verify visit the E-Verify website (https://www.e-verify.gov/) or email E-Verify at E-Verify@dhs.gov. E-Verify employer agents can email E-Verify at E-VerifyEmployerAgent@dhs.gov. Questions about the meaning or scope of this condition should be directed to OJP, before award acceptance. 15 OJP Training Guiding Principles Any training or training materials that the recipient -- or any subrecipient ("subgrantee") at any tier -- develops or delivers with OJP award funds must adhere to the OJP Training Guiding Principles for Grantees and Subgrantees, available at https://www.ojp.gov/funding/implement/training-guiding-principles-grantees-and-subgrantees. 16 Determination of suitability to interact with participating minors SCOPE. This condition applies to this award if it is indicated -- in the application for the award (as approved by DOJ)(or in the application for any subaward, at any tier), the DOJ funding announcement (solicitation), or an associated federal statute -- that a purpose of some or all of the activities to be carried out under the award (whether by the recipient, or a subrecipient at any tier) is to benefit a set of individuals under 18 years of age. The recipient, and any subrecipient at any tier, must make determinations of suitability before certain individuals may interact with participating minors. This requirement applies regardless of an individual's employment status. The details of this requirement are posted on the OJP web site at https://ojp.gov/funding/Explore/Interact-Minors.htm (Award condition: Determination of HCBOC 050624 Pg. 198 Page 8 of 20 suitability required, in advance, for certain individuals who may interact with participating minors), and are incorporated by reference here. 17 Potential imposition of additional requirements The recipient agrees to comply with any additional requirements that may be imposed by the DOJ awarding agency (OJP or OVW, as appropriate) during the period of performance for this award, if the recipient is designated as "high-risk" for purposes of the DOJ high-risk grantee list. 18 Required training for Grant Award Administrator and Financial Manager The Grant Award Administrator and all Financial Managers for this award must have successfully completed an "OJP financial management and grant administration training" by 120 days after the date of the recipient's acceptance of the award. Successful completion of such a training on or after October 15, 2020, will satisfy this condition. In the event that either the Grant Award Administrator or a Financial Manager for this award changes during the period of performance, the new Grant Award Administrator or Financial Manager must have successfully completed an "OJP financial management and grant administration training" by 120 calendar days after the date the Entity Administrator enters updated Grant Award Administrator or Financial Manager information in JustGrants. Successful completion of such a training on or after October 15, 2020, will satisfy this condition. A list of OJP trainings that OJP will consider "OJP financial management and grant administration training" for purposes of this condition is available at https://onlinegfmt.training.ojp.gov/. All trainings that satisfy this condition include a session on grant fraud prevention and detection. The recipient should anticipate that OJP will immediately withhold ("freeze") award funds if the recipient fails to comply with this condition. The recipient's failure to comply also may lead OJP to impose additional appropriate conditions on this award. 19 Restrictions and certifications regarding non-disclosure agreements and related matters No recipient or subrecipient ("subgrantee") under this award, or entity that receives a procurement contract or subcontract with any funds under this award, may require any employee or contractor to sign an internal confidentiality agreement or statement that prohibits or otherwise restricts, or purports to prohibit or restrict, the reporting (in accordance with law) of waste, fraud, or abuse to an investigative or law enforcement representative of a federal department or agency authorized to receive such information. HCBOC 050624 Pg. 199 Page 9 of 20 The foregoing is not intended, and shall not be understood by the agency making this award, to contravene requirements applicable to Standard Form 312 (which relates to classified information), Form 4414 (which relates to sensitive compartmented information), or any other form issued by a federal department or agency governing the nondisclosure of classified information. 1. In accepting this award, the recipient-- a. represents that it neither requires nor has required internal confidentiality agreements or statements from employees or contractors that currently prohibit or otherwise currently restrict (or purport to prohibit or restrict) employees or contractors from reporting waste, fraud, or abuse as described above; and b. certifies that, if it learns or is notified that it is or has been requiring its employees or contractors to execute agreements or statements that prohibit or otherwise restrict (or purport to prohibit or restrict), reporting of waste, fraud, or abuse as described above, it will immediately stop any further obligations of award funds, will provide prompt written notification to the federal agency making this award, and will resume (or permit resumption of) such obligations only if expressly authorized to do so by that agency. 2. If the recipient does or is authorized under this award to make subawards ("subgrants"), procurement contracts, or both-- a. it represents that-- (1) it has determined that no other entity that the recipient's application proposes may or will receive award funds (whether through a subaward ("subgrant"), procurement contract, or subcontract under a procurement contract) either requires or has required internal confidentiality agreements or statements from employees or contractors that currently prohibit or otherwise currently restrict (or purport to prohibit or restrict) employees or contractors from reporting waste, fraud, or abuse as described above; and (2) it has made appropriate inquiry, or otherwise has an adequate factual basis, to support this representation; and b. it certifies that, if it learns or is notified that any subrecipient, contractor, or subcontractor entity that receives funds under this award is or has been requiring its employees or contractors to execute agreements or statements that prohibit or otherwise restrict (or purport to prohibit or restrict), reporting of waste, fraud, or abuse as described above, it will immediately stop any further obligations of award funds to or by that entity, will provide prompt written notification to the federal agency making this award, and will resume (or permit resumption of) such obligations only if expressly authorized to do so by that agency. HCBOC 050624 Pg. 200 Page 10 of 20 20 Reclassification of various statutory provisions to a new Title 34 of the United States Code On September 1, 2017, various statutory provisions previously codified elsewhere in the U.S. Code were editorially reclassified (that is, moved and renumbered) to a new Title 34, entitled "Crime Control and Law Enforcement." The reclassification encompassed a number of statutory provisions pertinent to OJP awards (that is, OJP grants and cooperative agreements), including many provisions previously codified in Title 42 of the U.S. Code. Effective as of September 1, 2017, any reference in this award document to a statutory provision that has been reclassified to the new Title 34 of the U.S. Code is to be read as a reference to that statutory provision as reclassified to Title 34. This rule of construction specifically includes references set out in award conditions, references set out in material incorporated by reference through award conditions, and references set out in other award requirements. 21 Requirement to report actual or imminent breach of personally identifiable information (PII) The recipient (and any "subrecipient" at any tier) must have written procedures in place to respond in the event of an actual or imminent "breach" (OMB M-17-12) if it (or a subrecipient) -- (1) creates, collects, uses, processes, stores, maintains, disseminates, discloses, or disposes of "Personally Identifiable Information (PII)" (2 CFR 200.1) within the scope of an OJP grant-funded program or activity, or (2) uses or operates a "Federal information system" (OMB Circular A- 130). The recipient's breach procedures must include a requirement to report actual or imminent breach of PII to an OJP Program Manager no later than 24 hours after an occurrence of an actual breach, or the detection of an imminent breach. 22 Requirement to disclose whether recipient is designated "high risk" by a federal grant-making agency outside of DOJ If the recipient is designated "high risk" by a federal grant-making agency outside of DOJ, currently or at any time during the course of the period of performance under this award, the recipient must disclose that fact and certain related information to OJP by email at OJP.ComplianceReporting@ojp.usdoj.gov. For purposes of this disclosure, high risk includes any status under which a federal awarding agency provides additional oversight due to the recipient's past performance, or other programmatic or financial concerns with the recipient. The recipient's disclosure must include the following: 1. The federal awarding agency that currently designates the recipient high risk, 2. The date the recipient was designated high risk, 3. The high-risk point of contact at that federal awarding agency (name, phone number, and email address), and 4. The reasons for the high-risk status, as set out by the federal awarding agency. HCBOC 050624 Pg. 201 Page 11 of 20 23 Encouragement of policies to ban text messaging while driving Pursuant to Executive Order 13513, "Federal Leadership on Reducing Text Messaging While Driving," 74 Fed. Reg. 51225 (October 1, 2009), DOJ encourages recipients and subrecipients ("subgrantees") to adopt and enforce policies banning employees from text messaging while driving any vehicle during the course of performing work funded by this award, and to establish workplace safety policies and conduct education, awareness, and other outreach to decrease crashes caused by distracted drivers. 24 All subawards ("subgrants") must have specific federal authorization The recipient, and any subrecipient ("subgrantee") at any tier, must comply with all applicable requirements for authorization of any subaward. This condition applies to agreements that -- for purposes of federal grants administrative requirements -- OJP considers a "subaward" (and therefore does not consider a procurement "contract"). The details of the requirement for authorization of any subaward are posted on the OJP web site at https://ojp.gov/funding/Explore/SubawardAuthorization.htm (Award condition: All subawards ("subgrants") must have specific federal authorization), and are incorporated by reference here. 25 Specific post-award approval required to use a noncompetitive approach in any procurement contract that would exceed $250,000 The recipient, and any subrecipient ("subgrantee") at any tier, must comply with all applicable requirements to obtain specific advance approval to use a noncompetitive approach in any procurement contract that would exceed the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (currently, $250,000). This condition applies to agreements that -- for purposes of federal grants administrative requirements -- OJP considers a procurement "contract" (and therefore does not consider a subaward). The details of the requirement for advance approval to use a noncompetitive approach in a procurement contract under an OJP award are posted on the OJP web site at https://ojp.gov/funding/Explore/NoncompetitiveProcurement.htm (Award condition: Specific post-award approval required to use a noncompetitive approach in a procurement contract (if contract would exceed $250,000)), and are incorporated by reference here. 26 Requirements pertaining to prohibited conduct related to trafficking in persons (including reporting requirements and OJP authority to terminate award) HCBOC 050624 Pg. 202 Page 12 of 20 The recipient, and any subrecipient ("subgrantee") at any tier, must comply with all applicable requirements (including requirements to report allegations) pertaining to prohibited conduct related to the trafficking of persons, whether on the part of recipients, subrecipients ("subgrantees"), or individuals defined (for purposes of this condition) as "employees" of the recipient or of any subrecipient. The details of the recipient's obligations related to prohibited conduct related to trafficking in persons are posted on the OJP web site at https://ojp.gov/funding/Explore/ProhibitedConduct- Trafficking.htm (Award condition: Prohibited conduct by recipients and subrecipients related to trafficking in persons (including reporting requirements and OJP authority to terminate award)), and are incorporated by reference here. 27 Requirement to report potentially duplicative funding If the recipient currently has other active awards of federal funds, or if the recipient receives any other award of federal funds during the period of performance for this award, the recipient promptly must determine whether funds from any of those other federal awards have been, are being, or are to be used (in whole or in part) for one or more of the identical cost items for which funds are provided under this award. If so, the recipient must promptly notify the DOJ awarding agency (OJP or OVW, as appropriate) in writing of the potential duplication, and, if so requested by the DOJ awarding agency, must seek a budget-modification or change-of-project- scope Grant Award Modification (GAM) to eliminate any inappropriate duplication of funding. 28 Reporting potential fraud, waste, and abuse, and similar misconduct The recipient, and any subrecipients ("subgrantees") at any tier, must promptly refer to the DOJ Office of the Inspector General (OIG) any credible evidence that a principal, employee, agent, subrecipient, contractor, subcontractor, or other person has, in connection with funds under this award-- (1) submitted a claim that violates the False Claims Act; or (2) committed a criminal or civil violation of laws pertaining to fraud, conflict of interest, bribery, gratuity, or similar misconduct. Potential fraud, waste, abuse, or misconduct involving or relating to funds under this award should be reported to the OIG by--(1) online submission accessible via the OIG webpage at https://oig.justice.gov/hotline/contact-grants.htm (select "Submit Report Online"); (2) mail directed to: U.S. Department of Justice, Office of the Inspector General, Investigations Division, ATTN: Grantee Reporting, 950 Pennsylvania Ave., NW, Washington, DC 20530; and/or (3) by facsimile directed to the DOJ OIG Investigations Division (Attn: Grantee Reporting) at (202) 616- 9881 (fax). Additional information is available from the DOJ OIG website at https://oig.justice.gov/hotline. HCBOC 050624 Pg. 203 Page 13 of 20 29 Requirements related to System for Award Management and Universal Identifier Requirements The recipient must comply with applicable requirements regarding the System for Award Management (SAM), currently accessible at https://www.sam.gov/. This includes applicable requirements regarding registration with SAM, as well as maintaining the currency of information in SAM. The recipient also must comply with applicable restrictions on subawards ("subgrants") to first- tier subrecipients (first-tier "subgrantees"), including restrictions on subawards to entities that do not acquire and provide (to the recipient) the unique entity identifier required for SAM registration. The details of the recipient's obligations related to SAM and to unique entity identifiers are posted on the OJP web site at https://ojp.gov/funding/Explore/SAM.htm (Award condition: System for Award Management (SAM) and Universal Identifier Requirements), and are incorporated by reference here. This condition does not apply to an award to an individual who received the award as a natural person (i.e., unrelated to any business or non-profit organization that he or she may own or operate in his or her name). 30 Restrictions on "lobbying" In general, as a matter of federal law, federal funds awarded by OJP may not be used by the recipient, or any subrecipient ("subgrantee") at any tier, either directly or indirectly, to support or oppose the enactment, repeal, modification, or adoption of any law, regulation, or policy, at any level of government. See 18 U.S.C. 1913. (There may be exceptions if an applicable federal statute specifically authorizes certain activities that otherwise would be barred by law.) Another federal law generally prohibits federal funds awarded by OJP from being used by the recipient, or any subrecipient at any tier, to pay any person to influence (or attempt to influence) a federal agency, a Member of Congress, or Congress (or an official or employee of any of them) with respect to the awarding of a federal grant or cooperative agreement, subgrant, contract, subcontract, or loan, or with respect to actions such as renewing, extending, or modifying any such award. See 31 U.S.C. 1352. Certain exceptions to this law apply, including an exception that applies to Indian tribes and tribal organizations. Should any question arise as to whether a particular use of federal funds by a recipient (or subrecipient) would or might fall within the scope of these prohibitions, the recipient is to contact OJP for guidance, and may not proceed without the express prior written approval of OJP. HCBOC 050624 Pg. 204 Page 14 of 20 31 The recipient understands that, in accepting this award, the Authorized Representative declares and certifies, among other things, that he or she possesses the requisite legal authority to accept the award on behalf of the recipient entity and, in so doing, accepts (or adopts) all material requirements that relate to conduct throughout the period of performance under this award. The recipient further understands, and agrees, that it will not assign anyone to the role of Authorized Representative during the period of performance under the award without first ensuring that the individual has the requisite legal authority. 32 Verification and updating of recipient contact information The recipient must verify its Grant Award Administrator, Financial Manager, and Authorized Representative contact information in JustGrants, including telephone number and e-mail address. If any information is incorrect or has changed, the award recipient’s Entity Administrator must make changes to contact information through DIAMD. Instructions on how to update contact information in JustGrants can be found at https://justicegrants.usdoj.gov/training/training-entity-management. 33 The recipient agrees that no funds under this grant award (including via subcontract or subaward, at any tier) may be used for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), which includes unmanned aircraft vehicles (UAV), or for any accompanying accessories to support UAS. 34 The recipient agrees to cooperate with any assessments, national evaluation efforts, or information or data collection requests, including, but not limited to, the provision of any information required for the assessment or evaluation of any activities within this project. 35 Justification of consultant rate Approval of this award does not indicate approval of any consultant rate in excess of $650 per day. A detailed justification must be submitted to and approved by the OJP program office prior to obligation or expenditure of such funds. 36 Protection of human research subjects The recipient (and any subrecipient at any tier) must comply with the requirements of 28 C.F.R. Part 46 and all OJP policies and procedures regarding the protection of human research subjects, including obtainment of Institutional Review Board approval, if appropriate, and subject informed consent. HCBOC 050624 Pg. 205 Page 15 of 20 37 Confidentiality of data The recipient (and any subrecipient at any tier) must comply with all confidentiality requirements of 34 U.S.C. 10231 and 28 C.F.R. Part 22 that are applicable to collection, use, and revelation of data or information. The recipient further agrees, as a condition of award approval, to submit a Privacy Certificate that is in accord with requirements of 28 C.F.R. Part 22 and, in particular, 28 C.F.R. 22.23. 38 FFATA reporting: Subawards and executive compensation The recipient must comply with applicable requirements to report first-tier subawards ("subgrants") of $30,000 or more and, in certain circumstances, to report the names and total compensation of the five most highly compensated executives of the recipient and first-tier subrecipients (first-tier "subgrantees") of award funds. The details of recipient obligations, which derive from the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (FFATA), are posted on the OJP web site at https://ojp.gov/funding/Explore/FFATA.htm (Award condition: Reporting Subawards and Executive Compensation), and are incorporated by reference here. This condition, including its reporting requirement, does not apply to-- (1) an award of less than $30,000, or (2) an award made to an individual who received the award as a natural person (i.e., unrelated to any business or non-profit organization that he or she may own or operate in his or her name). 39 Recipient understands and agrees not to engage in activities constituting organizational conflicts of interest, such as bidding on specifications it guided as part of the provision of training and technical assistance under this award. Actions that may give rise to organizational conflicts of interest under awards are described in the Procurement Standards in 2 C.F.R. Part 200 (the Part 200 Uniform Requirements) and the DOJ Grants Financial Guide. Prior approval from the grant manager is required for any work with an organization or entity that would receive training or technical assistance under this award. 40 Any Web site that is funded in whole or in part under this award must include the following statement on the home page, on all major entry pages (i.e., pages (exclusive of documents) whose primary purpose is to navigate the user to interior content), and on any pages from which a visitor may access or use a Web-based service, including any pages that provide results or outputs from the service: "This Web site is funded in whole or in part through a grant from the Bureau of Justice Assistance, Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice. Neither the U.S. Department of Justice nor any of its components operate, control, are responsible for, or necessarily endorse, this Web site (including, without limitation, its content, technical HCBOC 050624 Pg. 206 Page 16 of 20 infrastructure, and policies, and any services or tools provided)." The full text of the foregoing statement must be clearly visible on the home page. On other pages, the statement may be included through a link, entitled "Notice of Federal Funding and Federal Disclaimer," to the full text of the statement. 41 The recipient agrees to submit to BJA for review and approval any product (e.g., curricula, training materials, publications, reports, videos, or any other written, web-based, or audio- visual, or other materials) that will be developed and published under this award at least thirty (30) working days prior to the targeted dissemination date. The current edition of the DOJ Grants Financial Guide provides guidance on allowable printing and publication activities. Any products developed under this award, (with the exception of press releases, web sites, and mobile applications), shall contain the following statements: “This project was supported by Grant No. <Award_Number> awarded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance, Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice. Points of view or opinions in this document are those of the author and do not necessarily represent the official position or policies of the U.S. Department of Justice." (Note: A separate disclaimer has been developed and is required for web sites and mobile applications. No disclaimer is required for press releases.) 42 Within 45 calendar days after the end of any conference, meeting, retreat, seminar, symposium, training activity, or similar event funded under this award, and the total cost of which exceeds $20,000 in award funds, the recipient must provide the program manager with the following information and itemized costs: 1) name of event; 2) event dates; 3) location of event; 4) number of federal attendees; 5) number of non-federal attendees; 6) costs of event space, including rooms for break-out sessions; 7) costs of audio visual services; 8) other equipment costs (e.g., computer fees, telephone fees); 9) costs of printing and distribution; 10) costs of meals provided during the event; HCBOC 050624 Pg. 207 Page 17 of 20 11) costs of refreshments provided during the event; 12) costs of event planner; 13) costs of event facilitators; and 14) any other costs associated with the event.

Note that if any item is paid for with registration fees, or any other non-award funding, then that portion of the expense does not need to be reported. Further instructions regarding the submission of this data, and how to determine costs, are available in the DOJ Financial Guide Conference Cost Chapter. 43 Applicants must ensure that Limited English Proficiency persons have meaningful access to the services under this program(s). National origin discrimination includes discrimination on the basis of limited English proficiency (LEP). To ensure compliance with Title VI and the Safe Streets Act, recipients are required to take reasonable steps to ensure that LEP persons have meaningful access to their programs. Meaningful access may entail providing language assistance services, including oral and written translation when necessary. The U.S. Department of Justice has issued guidance for grantees to help them comply with Title VI requirements. The guidance document can be accessed on the Internet at www.lep.gov. 44 Statement of Federal Involvement Due to the substantial Federal involvement contemplated in completion of this project, the BJA has elected to enter into a cooperative agreement rather than a grant. This decision is based on OJP and BJA's ongoing responsibility to assist and coordinate projects that relate to the funded activities. OJP and BJA will provide input and re-direction to the project, as needed, in HCBOC 050624 Pg. 208 Page 18 of 20 consultation with the recipient, and will actively monitor the project by methods including, but not limited to, ongoing contact with the recipient. In meeting programmatic responsibilities, OJP, BJA, and the recipient will be guided by the following principles: responsibility for the day- to-day operations of this project rests with the recipient in implementation of the recipient's approved proposal, the recipient's approved budget, and the terms and conditions specified in this award. Responsibility for general oversight and redirection of the project, if necessary, rests with BJA. In addition to its programmatic reporting requirements, the recipient agrees to provide necessary information as requested by OJP and BJA. Information requests may include, but are not limited to, specific submissions related to: performance, including measurement of project outputs/outcomes; meeting performance specifications; developmental decision points; changes in project scope or personnel; budget modifications; and/or coordination of related projects. 45 The recipient agrees to track and report to BJA on its training and technical assistance activities and deliverables progress using the guidance and format provided by BJA. 46 Required attendance at BJA-sponsored events The recipient (and its subrecipients at any tier) must participate in BJA-sponsored training events, technical assistance events, or conferences held by BJA or its designees, upon BJA's request. 47 Limit on use of grant funds for grantees' employees' salaries With respect to this award, federal funds may not be used to pay cash compensation (salary plus bonuses) to any employee of the award recipient at a rate that exceeds 110% of the maximum annual salary payable to a member of the federal government's Senior Executive Service (SES) at an agency with a Certified SES Performance Appraisal System for that year. (An award recipient may compensate an employee at a higher rate, provided the amount in excess of this compensation limitation is paid with non-federal funds.) This limitation on compensation rates allowable under this award may be waived on an individual basis at the discretion of the OJP official indicated in the program announcement under which this award is made. 48 Recipient integrity and performance matters: Requirement to report information on certain civil, criminal, and administrative proceedings to SAM and FAPIIS The recipient must comply with any and all applicable requirements regarding reporting of information on civil, criminal, and administrative proceedings connected with (or connected to HCBOC 050624 Pg. 209 Page 19 of 20 the performance of) either this OJP award or any other grant, cooperative agreement, or procurement contract from the federal government. Under certain circumstances, recipients of OJP awards are required to report information about such proceedings, through the federal System for Award Management (known as "SAM"), to the designated federal integrity and performance system (currently, "FAPIIS"). The details of recipient obligations regarding the required reporting (and updating) of information on certain civil, criminal, and administrative proceedings to the federal designated integrity and performance system (currently, "FAPIIS") within SAM are posted on the OJP web site at https://ojp.gov/funding/FAPIIS.htm (Award condition: Recipient Integrity and Performance Matters, including Recipient Reporting to FAPIIS), and are incorporated by reference here. 49 Cooperating with OJP Monitoring The recipient agrees to cooperate with OJP monitoring of this award pursuant to OJP's guidelines, protocols, and procedures, and to cooperate with OJP (including the grant manager for this award and the Office of Chief Financial Officer (OCFO)) requests related to such monitoring, including requests related to desk reviews and/or site visits. The recipient agrees to provide to OJP all documentation necessary for OJP to complete its monitoring tasks, including documentation related to any subawards made under this award. Further, the recipient agrees to abide by reasonable deadlines set by OJP for providing the requested documents. Failure to cooperate with OJP's monitoring activities may result in actions that affect the recipient's DOJ awards, including, but not limited to: withholdings and/or other restrictions on the recipient's access to award funds; referral to the DOJ OIG for audit review; designation of the recipient as a DOJ High Risk grantee; or termination of an award(s). 50 The recipient agrees to budget funds for two staff representatives to attend one three-day national meeting in Washington, D.C. each year for the life of the grant. (If a national meeting is not planned, funds must be used to attend a BJA approved training.) In addition, the recipient agrees to participate in BJA training events, technical assistance events, or conferences held by BJA or its designees, upon request. 51 Withholding - Certification with respect to Federal taxes - award exceeding $5 million (updated Aug. 2017) The recipient may not obligate, expend, or draw down any funds under this award until it has submitted to the program manager, in a format acceptable to OJP, a formal written certification directed to OJP and executed by an official with authority to sign on behalf of the recipient, that the recipient (unless an exemption applies by operation of law, as described below)-- (1) has filed all Federal tax returns required for the three tax years immediately preceding the tax year HCBOC 050624 Pg. 210 Page 20 of 20 in which the certification is made; (2) has not been convicted of a criminal offense under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986; and (3) has not, more than 90 days prior to this certification, been notified of any unpaid federal tax assessment for which the liability remains unsatisfied, unless the assessment is the subject of an installment agreement or offer in compromise that has been approved by the Internal Revenue Service and is not in default, or the assessment is the subject of a non-frivolous administrative or judicial proceeding; and until an Award Condition Modification (ACM) has been issued to remove this condition. No more data to load HCBOC 050624 Pg. 211 Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant, and Substance Use Program (COSSUP) Reaching Rural Implementation Funding Application Introduction The United States is experiencing a crisis of drug overdose deaths. While no corner of the country has gone untouched by the overdose crisis, it has hit rural America particularly hard. In July 2022, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) noted that drug overdose death rates continue to rise in rural and urban areas. In eight states—California, Connecticut, Maryland, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Vermont, and Virginia—the rate of drug overdose deaths in rural counties was higher than in urban counties. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the State Justice Institute (SJI) are co-sponsoring this initiative.1 The Institute for Intergovernmental Research (IIR) is releasing this solicitation on their behalf. 1 The Reaching Rural initiative and associated funding are continuations of the work done under the Rural Responses to the Opioid Epidemic (RROE) initiative. Initiative Overview and Application BJA, CDC, and SJI support this initiative as part of an ongoing interagency partnership to strengthen public safety and public health collaboration under BJA’s Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant, and Substance Use Program (COSSUP). COSSUP provides funding and training and technical assistance (TTA) to state, local, tribal, and territorial partners to support a comprehensive response to illicit substance use and misuse; reduce overdose deaths; promote public safety; and support access to prevention, harm reduction, treatment, and recovery services in the community and justice system.

This coordinator may be the same as the project coordinator for the Reaching Rural planning initiative or a different person. If a coordinator is funded, they must be primarily engaged in activities that are cross- sector in nature versus serving a single agency or discipline. Appropriate roles for a coordinator include: • Helping the local or regional cross-sector team maintain a systemic focus over time (e.g., working on projects that benefit multiple agencies, not a single agency). • Facilitating communication among cross-sector agencies. • Establishing a communications strategy to provide policymakers, practitioners, and the public with information about the initiative, including documenting and promoting local achievements. • Guiding the planning and implementation of local initiatives, including a comprehensive, cross-agency strategy for achieving the goals and objectives of the initiative. • Cultivating and maintaining effective partnerships with key public health/behavioral health staff and public safety/criminal justice staff to achieve the goals and objectives of the initiative, with strategic attention to cross- agency data sharing and data integration. • Coordinating and convening workgroups and required subgroups of the initiative and ensuring follow-up to key action items and proposals. • Guiding the development, evaluation, and improvement of business processes, policies and procedures, and other protocols commonly associated with information management and data sharing, integration, and analysis. • Maintaining partnerships with internal and external partners such as other city, county, and state agencies; community organizations; advocacy groups; and nonprofit organizations, foundations, and private entities. Applicants may propose to host a local or regional training on best practices for addressing the needs of criminal justice-involved persons with substance use and any co-occurring substance use and mental health conditions to law enforcement, correctional, or judicial personnel or providers of treatment, recovery, harm reduction, case management, or other services offered in connection with any of the strategies described in the sections above.

The cost of supporting travel for speakers for this event is an allowable expense. Speaker fees are capped at $850 per day. The cost of providing food or beverages at local or regional training is not an allowable expense under federal guidelines and cannot be included in the budget. Additional Mandatory Application Requirements Team Letters of Commitment Each named team member must submit a letter that demonstrates cross-sector support of this project and agreement to participate in project activities, including active engagement in the virtual kickoff HCBOC 050624 Pg. 215 5 / Reaching Rural Implementation Funding Application event, potential peer exchanges, onsite TA, regular communication with the project coordinator and coaches, and assistance with developing the final comprehensive, cross-sector strategy for achieving the goals and the objectives of the planning process. Letters should respond to the following: How can you, in your role, meaningfully contribute to the team’s work over the next year and improve your community’s response to substance use? We recognize that each sector plays a different role and that not every role is responsible for direct service delivery. Express commitment to the time requirements. Important: If a team member is not an elected official, judge, or agency/department director, the individual must also submit a letter from their agency director indicating their support for the team member’s engagement in the project. Budget and Associated Documentation The Budget Worksheet and the Budget Narrative are combined in a single document collectively referred to as the Budget Worksheet. The Budget Worksheet is a user-friendly, fillable, Microsoft Excel-based document designed to calculate totals. The Excel workbook contains a worksheet for your budget and proposed activities, which you should use to cover the full 15 months of your project. Using the Activities tab, complete the budget and use the budget narrative in each section to explain the necessity of the expenses. All applicants should use the Excel version when completing the proposed budget in an application, except in cases where the applicant does not have access to Microsoft Excel or experiences technical difficulties. If an applicant does not have access to Microsoft Excel or experiences technical difficulties with the Excel version, the applicant should use the 508-compliant accessible Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) version. The Excel version of the Budget Detail Worksheet can be accessed at http://s.iir.com/ pK4jeVKS and the PDF version can be accessed at http://s.iir.com/kVfgsPtc. The Budget Worksheet should provide the detailed computation for each budget line item, listing the total cost of each and showing how it was calculated by the applicant. For example, costs for personnel should show the annual salary rate and the percentage of time devoted to the project for each employee paid with federal funds. The Budget Detail Worksheet should present a complete itemization of all proposed costs. For questions pertaining to budget and examples of allowable and unallowable costs, see the DOJ Grants Financial Guide at https://ojp.gov/financialguide/DOJ/ index.htm. The Budget Summary page will auto-calculate from the Activities tab and will reflect the amounts in the activity categories. The Budget Worksheet should be uploaded via the application survey. Indirect Cost Rate Agreement (if applicable) Indirect costs may be charged to an award only if: a. The recipient has a current (unexpired), federally approved indirect cost rate; or b. The recipient is eligible to use, and elects to use, the de minimis indirect cost rate described in the Part 200 Uniform Requirements, as set out at 2 CFR 200.414(f). An applicant with a current (unexpired) federally approved indirect cost rate must upload a copy of the indirect cost rate agreement via the application survey. An applicant that does not have a current federally approved rate may request one through its cognizant federal agency, which will review all documentation and approve a rate for the applicant entity, or, if the applicant’s accounting system permits, applicants may propose to allocate costs in the direct cost categories. Certain OJP recipients have the option of electing to use the de minimis indirect cost rate. An applicant HCBOC 050624 Pg. 216 6 / Reaching Rural Implementation Funding Application that is eligible to use the de minimis rate and wishes to use the de minimis rate should upload written documentation via the application survey that advises OJP of both (1) the applicant’s eligibility to use the de minimis rate and (2) its election to do so. If an eligible applicant elects the de minimis rate, costs must be consistently charged as either indirect or direct costs but may not be double charged or inconsistently charged as both. The de minimis rate may no longer be used once an approved federally negotiated indirect cost rate is in place. (No entity that ever has had a federally approved negotiated indirect cost rate is eligible to use the de minimis rate.) For the de minimis rate requirements (including information on eligibility to elect to use the rate), see the Part 200 Uniform Requirements, at 2 C.F.R. 200.414(f). This document should be uploaded via the application survey. Applicant Certification (Required) The applicant agency must provide a statement of assurance signed by the authorized representative of the applicant (e.g., county commissioner, tribal leader, county manager, mayor, etc.) organization stating that: Federal funds made available through this award will not be used to supplant state, local, or tribal funds but will be used to increase the amounts of such funds that would, in the absence of federal funds, be made available for the activities addressed in the application. There has been appropriate coordination with all affected agencies. The project coordinator will agree to work with BJA and its representatives as well as the selected BJA COSSUP training and technical assistance provider(s) and partner agencies.

This ordinance is to establish a budget for projects to be funded by the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds of H.R. 1319 American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA/CSLFRF). The County of Harnett has received a total allocation of $26,411,744 of ARPA/CSLFRF funds. These funds may be used for the following categories of expenditures, to the extent authorized by state law: 2. Address negative economic impacts caused by the public health emergency, including economic harms to workers, households, small businesses, impacted industries, and the public sector; 1. Support public health expenditures, by funding COVID-19 mitigation efforts, medical expenses, behavioral healthcare, and certain public health and safety staff; 3. Replace lost public sector revenue, using this funding to provide government services to the extent of the reduction in revenue experienced due to the pandemic; 4. Provide premium pay for essential workers, offering additional support to those who have borne and will bear the greatest health risks because of their service in critical infrastructure sectors; and, 5. Invest in water, sewer,and broadband infrastructure, making necessary investments to improve access to clean drinking water, support vital wastewater and stormwater infrastructure,and to expand access to broadband internet. CORONAVIRUS STATE AND LOCAL FISCAL RECOVERY FUNDS (CSLFRF) HCBOC 050624 Pg. 234 Section 4. Section 5. Section 6. Section 7. Section 8. day of , 2024. William Morris, Chairman Harnett County Board of Commissioners ATTEST: Melissa Capps, Clerk to the Board This ordinance will amend the Grant Project Ordinance to recognize changes in previously approved projects and allocate funding to projects which have been approved since the last amendment. Duly adopted this The Finance Officer is hereby directed to maintain sufficient specific detailed accounting records to satisfy the requirements of the grantor agency and the grant agreements, including payroll documentation and effort certifications,in accordance with 2 CFR 200.430 & 2 CFR 200.431 and the County’s Uniform Guidance Allowable Costs and Cost Principles Policy. The VIPER Radio - County and Fire project is now complete. This project provided 913 radios to the county for use by the following departments: Emergency Management Services (EMS), Fire Marshall, Transportation (HARTS), Sheriff,and Harnett Regional Water,as well as local fire departments. The county must pay sales tax on the purchase of goods and services but is eligible to file for reimbursement of the sales tax paid. The original budget included the amount of sales tax; this adjustment reallocates the unspent funds that were originally dedicated to this project. The EMS Premium Pay project is no longer eligible under ARPA/CSLFRF because Congress declared an end to the COVID-19 National Emergency on April 10, 2023. This adjustment reallocates the unspent funds that were originally dedicated to this project. The VIPER Radio - Local Law Enforcement project is ongoing.At the request of our municipalities, the county is dedicating a portion of its ARPA/CSLFRF allocation to purchase VIPER radios for all police departments in the County. As an eligible use, the project will provide 242 radios. The GREAT Grant (Brightspeed) project is ongoing. Through the Growing Rural Economies with Access to Technology (GREAT) Program, the NC Department of Information Technology (NCDIT) sought to enter into a three-way agreement with Internet Service Providers (ISPs)and local governments to expand broadband accessibility in rural areas. Initially, CloudWyze was identified as the ISP to receive the GREAT Grant for Harnett County. However,in late 2023, NCDIT designated Brightspeed as the recipient. This amendment reflects the amount that the county has agreed to match for this project. The Finance Officer is hereby directed to report the financial status of the project to the governing board on a quarterly basis. Copies of this capital project ordinance shall be furnished to the Clerk to the Board, the Budget Director and the Finance Officer for direction in carrying out this project. This grant project ordinance amendment expires on December 31, 2026, or when all the ARPA/CSLFRF funds have been obligated and expended by the county, whichever occurs sooner.

General Statute Section 159-30 authorizes the Finance Officer to invest idle funds of the County in a restricted group of investment vehicles.

Harnett County prepares the annual budget in accordance with the statutory requirements with consideration of enhancing the quality for our residents. The budget has been prepared with the purpose of supporting the strategic goals and priorities of the County Commissioners. You will see this specifically in the items we are recommending for consideration in the expansion budget. Property Reappraisal and Tax Rate The property tax assessed values increased by approximately $496 million this year. The growth in home construction continues to increase our total assessed valuation to levels never seen before in Harnett County. The continued growth in the County creates challenges for provision of services and management of government services. The current tax levy rate is $0.591/$100. The revenues in total compared to expenses for a continuation budget leaves a small deficit. In addition, the rapid growth in the County and the priorities of the Board requires us to find additional resources and propose the use of a portion of existing fund balance. In order to meet these needs, I am recommending the continuation of the current tax levy rate of $0.591/$100. Other Revenue Sources In looking at revenue sources other than property tax, we see good news as well as they surpass our Fiscal Year 2024 projections. The two biggest examples of this growth in revenue are Building Inspection Fees and Sales Tax revenues. These positive increases are not surprising based on the County’s growth pattern, however the sales tax growth is significantly less than last year. Sales tax revenues continued to exceed our projections, but the growth is predicted to be at a more moderate rate during Fiscal Year 2025. The North Carolina League of Municipalities (NCLM) provides sales tax forecast information, and we used their research in projecting our sales tax revenues. Based on current research, NCLM projects that local sales tax revenues will finish Fiscal Year 2023-2024 2.9% above Fiscal Year 2022-2023 levels. They also project a Fiscal Year 2024-2025 sales tax growth of 2.2% over Fiscal Year 2023-2024 levels. Harnett County shares sales taxes with the municipalities based on the Ad Valorem method, meaning sales tax is distributed to the County and the municipalities in proportion to the total amount of ad valorem taxes levied by each entity. With an increase in Medicaid costs and a decrease in sales tax collection, we are projecting $2.1 million less in Medicaid Hold Harmless revenues.

As funds have been moved out of contingency into other departments, the Revised Budget amount has been reduced to reflect these transfers. If the FY 2025 Recommended amount was compared with the original budget, the variance would be $175,000 and the percent decrease would be 12%. This chart does not include the $1.4 million going to Harnett County Schools for maintenance needs. Those funds are budgeted in the Board of Education Capital Reserve. Fee Schedule Recommendations A list of fees is recommended to be adjusted. Appendix 1 in the budget book contains the details on these changes. We have included a recommended 17% increase across the board for rescue agencies, allocating 10% for increased operational costs and a 7% increase to offset the loss of Medicaid Cost Settlement Funds. I am recommending increases in tax rates for two fire departments. The recommendation is detailed in the table below and recommended increases are in red..

I am recommending a 1-cent increase in their tax rate. >West Area requested a 4-cent increase to make the rate equal to what is charged in Cumberland County. I am recommending a 4-cent increase in their tax rate. The County also levies the Averasboro School District tax. No change is recommended for that district. Harnett County Schools Harnett County School System (HCS) submitted their request for funding to the County. The funding details are listed below:HCBOC 050624 Pg. 302 Budget MessageHarnett County, North Carolina | Recommended Budget 2024-2025 17 >The school district will see an increase per student from $1,321.51 to $1,416.17 per student. The funding includes county and charter school students that the school must fund. The total amount of base funding increased by $2,503,509.00 from $28,301,509 to $30,804,606. These additional funds will help increase local supplement pay for certified staff and salary increases for classified staff. >Provides funding for 2,048 charter school students (an increase of 519 over last year), which Harnett County Schools must share on a per-student basis. >Holds HCS harmless for the loss of lottery funds. At the request of the Board of Education, the County is foregoing proceeds from the lottery for the next two years due to a $10 million grant that was obtained to help fund the construction of the new Northwest Harnett Elementary. Capital outlay spending, budgeted in the Board of Education Capital Reserve, remains at Fiscal Year 2024 levels, in spite of this loss of more than $1 million in lottery funds. (School systems do not share capital outlay funds with charter schools). Compensation Study, Pay Recommendations and Organizational Excellence The completion of a compensation study last year provided support for increases in salaries for all positions in the County. The Board of Commissioners authorized a substantial increase in pay for law enforcement and emergency medical personnel in FY 2024. >We have a current total of 51 full-time vacancies versus 101 vacancies last year, of which 32 of those positions are in our public safety departments. The increased compensation levels have had a positive impact on retention and recruitment. >The recommendation included in the budget is to provide a 3% COLA increase for all employees. >The recommendation included in the budget is to provide a 1.5% performance pay increase to staff that meet expectations and have a positive performance evaluation. >Increased employer contribution by 3% for health insurance premiums instead of passing an increase to employees. >Retirement contribution increased by 0.95% for law-enforcement officers and 0.70% for all other county employees. >There are 16 new positions recommended due to increased demand for services Nine of these new positions are in Harnett Regional Water. >There are 12 reclassifications and two special salary adjustments recommended due to changes in duties and certifications received. >The budget provides a shift premium of $10 per shift for certified training officers for the Emergency Communications Division of the Sheriff’s Office. >The budget provides an additional $12.50 per day for Election Workers. Community Programs and County Initiatives >Provides funding for two small business grants ($5,000) in partnership with the Small Business Development Center at Central Carolina Community College. >Provides funding for countywide in-person customer service training and supervisory training for new and future supervisors. >Provides funding for additional Parks and Recreation programs (instructor led classes, senior programming, athletic camps/clinics).HCBOC 050624 Pg. 303 Budget Message18 Harnett County, North Carolina | Recommended Budget 2024-2025 >Provides funding for additional Public Library programs (children’s programming). >Provides funding towards increasing teacher supplements. American Rescue Plan Funding Plan >Harnett County received $26,411,744 in funding through the American Rescue Plan. >The Board of Commissioners have approved a plan to utilize most of the American Rescue Plan funding. The Board approved an updated list of projects that will utilize $25,058,359 of the funding with $1,353,385 to be determined at a later date. >The FY 2024-25 budget will allocate the use of an additional $1,031,186 of those funds for one-time projects. The ARPA fund has generated over $1 million in additional revenue from earned interest. The interest may be utilized in the same manner as the supplanted funds. >Staff has implemented some of the projects in FY 2023 and FY 2024 with a requirement to obligate all of the money by December 31, 2024 and spend all of the money by December 31, 2026. Other County Initiatives The Board of Commissioners completed the first ever Strategic Plan for Harnett County in 2022. The process involved the Board of Commissioners, County staff, and the public to develop the strategic plan. Staff completed the Performance Management process to determine action plans for the key strategic actions. The process has continued in FY 2024 with phase four with the creation of business plans for each department to execute. The business plans are expected to be completed and approved by the County Manager by June 30, 2024, with implementation to occur throughout the FY 2025 budget year and into the future. The County contracted with Cloudwyze to install a fixed wireless broadband system in the area north of the Cape Fear River. The first phase is complete and the second phase began in early 2024 with ARPA funding. The new system will provide a new and better option for access to broadband for many residents of Harnett County. We spent a great deal of time projecting our revenues and expenses to ensure that we were as accurate as possible in determining our resources available and our funding needs. Departments were asked to justify any spending over Fiscal Year 2024 budgeted amounts and their requests were reviewed in detail by our budget team. We also continued breaking the budget into continuation and expansion funding requests. Continuation refers to funding needed for ongoing operations, while expansion requests are for new programs and positions. Each expansion request is separately justified by the director. You will see CONT (continuation) and EXP (expansion) columns in the budget summaries of the document. Any new request is also detailed separately, along with the cost to the County. Over the past few years, we have continued improving our Capital Improvements Program (CIP) process, and the Board of Commissioners adopted the CIP in December 2024. The improved process and early adoption meant that we were able to focus our time this spring on the operating budget. In addition to the CIP funding, the influx of ARPA funds and state directed funding allows us to address several of our capital improvement projects sooner than anticipated, such as the fiber extension, VIPER radio replacement project, Jetport Terminal project and park improvement projects.HCBOC 050624 Pg. 304 Budget MessageHarnett County, North Carolina | Recommended Budget 2024-2025 19 The budget that I am proposing provides the funding needed by the schools, community college, and the departments to continue to provide the quality service and support that the citizens of Harnett County expect. The proposed budget provides increases in order to operate our government and covers new expansion items related to keeping up with our growing County and operations. The tax levy rate will remain the same as last year in the proposed budget. I want to thank Central Carolina Community College, the Fire and EMS Departments, Harnett County Schools, and other community partners for their collaboration in developing the Fiscal Year 2025 budget. I want to thank the department directors for submitting their information and requests in a timely manner with well thought out justifications for their requests. I would love to meet all their requests, but unfortunately, we do not have the resources to do so. I also want to thank Budget Director, Lisa McFadden, for all the countless hours she has spent preparing this budget for your consideration. We have a joint session planned with the Board of Education on May 14, 2024, to discuss their budget request. The presentation of budget details will be conducted on May 14, 2024, with a public hearing on the budget conducted on May 20, 2024. We will have the budget on as a discussion item on the May 28, 2024, meeting to address any concerns and answer any questions regarding the recommended budget.

Budget Ordinance The legal document adopted by the Board of Commissioners to estimate revenues, establish appropriations, and levy taxes for a unit of government for the coming year. It has the full force and effect of law within the County boundaries unless it conflicts with any higher form of law, such as a state statute or constitutional provision. It establishes the legal framework for the financial operations of the County for the current year. Budgetary Basis This refers to the basis of accounting used to estimate financing sources and uses in the budget. Capital Assets Land, buildings, machinery, furniture, fixtures and equipment that have a value of $20,000 or more and have a useful economic life of more than one year; or assets of any value if the nature of the item is such that it must be controlled for custody purposes as a fixed asset. Capital assets are also called fixed assets. Capital Improvements Expenditures related to the acquisition, expansion, or rehabilitation of an element of the government’s physical plan that is sometimes referred to as infrastructure. A capital improvement can also be a capital project. Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) A long range plan of proposed capital improvement projects, which includes estimated project costs and funding over a specified period of years. The capital improvement program is updated annually to reassess capital needs during the preparation of the capital budget. Capital Outlay The expenditures for land, building, machinery, furniture, fixtures and equipment that have a value of $20,000-$99,999 and have a useful economic life of more than one year.

Fiduciary funds are used to account for assets held by a county in a trustee capacity, or as an agent for individuals, private organizations, other governmental units, and/or other funds. Since, by state statutes, these funds are not subject to appropriation by the Board of Commissioners, these funds are not included in the annual budget ordinance or the budget document. However, these funds are reported in the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report. The Fiduciary Fund Classification includes two types: Agency and Trust Funds. See Trust Fund and Custodial Fund. Fiscal Year (FY) A 12-month period designated as the operating year for accounting and budgeting purposes in an organization. North Carolina State Statutes require local governments to begin the fiscal year on July 1 and end on June 30.

Intergovernmental Revenue Funds received from federal, state, and other local government sources in the form of grants, shared revenues, and payments in lieu of taxes. Investments Securities held for the production of income. All investments made by the County must be in accordance with North Carolina General Statute 159-30.

Modified Accrual A budgetary accounting technique whereby revenues are recognized when they become measurable and available as net current assets to pay liabilities for the current period. Expenditures are recorded when the liability is actually incurred. In short, expenditures are recognized when encumbered and revenues are recognized when they are collected. Modified General Fund The modified general fund is a presentation of multiple funds created for accounting purposes but are financial activities of the general government not required to be accounted for in another account.

It consists of an assessment of the current water and wastewater systems and projects these capital needs over a ten-year period. This plan is offered to the Board to seek their guidance and input as they look toward Harnett County’s future. This plan should be a helpful fiscal planning tool that allows us to forecast capital demands on revenues and borrowing power to help avoid overextending ourselves financially during the next ten years and beyond. HRW recommends that the review and approval of this capital improvement plan be accomplished annually as part of the budget process. General approval of this document by resolution does not commit the Board to specific approval of any one project or expenditure, nor does it appropriate money for any project. This would still be accomplished through separate capital project ordinances. The approval by resolution from the Board simply approves the capital improvement plan as a plan for the forecast period. HCBOC 050624 Pg. 479 194 Harnett County, North Carolina | Recommended Budget 2024-2025 Harnett countY Fiscal Year 2025 Harnett regional Water- - 2 DESCRIPTION OF COUNTY Demographics. The County, formed in 1855, has a projected population of 136,709. The per capita income for the County is $26,962 (83rd in NC) and the median household income is $59,676 (30th in NC). The poverty rate is 13% and the unemployment rate currently stands at 3.6%. Land Area Configurations. Harnett County is located in the south central portion of North Carolina. It lies partially in the Coastal Plain and partially in the Piedmont section. The eastern two-thirds of the County exhibit topographic features common to the Coastal Plain region of North Carolina. It is an area of level to gently rolling terrain with elevations ranging from 100 to 300 feet above sea level. The major underlying geological formation includes sedimentary rocks consisting mostly of unconsolidated sands and clays. Topographical features of the western part of the County resemble the Piedmont region of North Carolina. It is an area of steeper hills with elevations as high as 450 feet above sea level. The major underlying geological formation includes crystalline rocks, such as granite and slate. Mission Statement. “Harnett Regional Water provides high quality water and wastewater services to residents and businesses in Harnett County and the surrounding region. The organization is focused on customer service and is committed to environmental stewardship. Its position on the Cape Fear River, combined with significant investments in infrastructure and foresight from past and current leaders, will allow Harnett Regional Water to continue to serve the rapidly growing central region of North Carolina.” HRW continues to grow from a single county water and sewer department to a regional water and wastewater provider.

Harnett Regional Water provides water and/or wastewater services to approximately 110,000 Harnett County residents. HRW also provides public water to customers in Counties contiguous to ours. These Counties include Cumberland, Johnston, Moore, Lee, and Wake. The Harnett County Regional Water Treatment Plant supplies water to the Harnett County municipalities of Lillington, Angier, Erwin, and Coats. It supplies water to the Towns of Fuquay-Varina and Holly Springs in Wake County and also the Towns of Spring Lake and Linden in Cumberland County. It also jointly supplies water to Fort Bragg through a partnership with the Public Works Commission of Fayetteville. The Harnett County Regional Water Treatment Plant utilizes the Cape Fear River as the source for the system’s drinking water and currently has a treatment capacity of forty-two million gallons a day (42 MGD). HRW’s water system consists of nine County water and sewer districts. Each of these districts exists as a separate legal entity pursuant to Chapter 162A of the North Carolina General Statutes. The County maintains and operates the districts for a fee equal to the districts’ debt service amount. This amount is paid from general revenues received from water and/or wastewater sales from the various districts. The County established a “Harnett County Public Utilities Fund” in 1998 that consolidated accounting for the operation of these districts. This allowed the department to budget revenues and expenditures in a consolidated manner rather than nine individual district budgets. HRW provides wastewater treatment to the Towns of Angier, Coats and Lillington in Harnett County. HRW also provides wastewater treatment to the Town of Fuquay-Varina in Wake County and Fort Bragg Army Base in Cumberland County. HRW was established in 1982 with approximately 600 water customers and 8 employees. We have grown in the forty-one years since to approximately 44,000 water customers, 14,000 sewer customers and 110 employees. HRW infrastructure consists of approximately 1,490 miles of water mains, 420 miles of sewer collection mains and totals over $365 million dollars in assets. In addition to the 42 million gallon per day regional water plant mentioned above, other assets include 2 wastewater treatment plants with a combined treatment capacity of 22.5 million gallons per day, 20 elevated water storage tanks with 8.9 million gallons of capacity, 18.2 million gallons of ground storage capacity, a 60 million gallon reservoir, 24 water booster stations with pumping capacity of 133 million gallons per day and 102 sewer lift stations. Approximately 95% of Harnett County HCBOC 050624 Pg. 481 196 Harnett County, North Carolina | Recommended Budget 2024-2025 Harnett countY Fiscal Year 2025 Harnett regional Water- - 4 residents now have access to public water. As is apparent from the above history, HRW has experienced tremendous growth and accomplishment through the valiant efforts and foresight of past and present Harnett County Commissioners and staff. Their dedication to a countywide water and strategically located sanitary sewer system is the reason for the utility’s success. WATER SYSTEM Treatment Facility. HRW’s existing 42 mgd (million gallons per day) regional water treatment facility was recently upgraded to that capacity in FY 2016-17 at a cost of approximately $12 million dollars. The project added four new filters, an upgraded alum sludge disposal system, new backwash/chemical storage and modified the raw water intake and raw water/reservoir low-lift pump stations. Moore County, Johnston County, the Towns of Holly Springs and Fuquay-Varina in Wake County, as well as Fort Bragg in Cumberland County are the current capacity holders in the Harnett County Regional Water Treatment Facility. Currently, HRW is piloting the current treatment facility to establish what improvements will be needed to safely remove PFAS and PFOA (and other such chemicals) from our water supply. Once the pilot study is complete the needed treatment improvements will be added to this capital improvement plan. Due to the tremendous residential growth in the County, Harnett Regional Water is also committed to building a new 8-10 mgd water treatment facility in the Erwin area of the County. Our planning estimates project the new plant will be needed to supplement the existing Harnett Regional Water Treatment Plant by the end of this decade. Cost estimates are currently approximately $70 million dollars for the project as it will be funded by revenue bonds and HRW reserves. There is also the strong possibility that other surrounding entities will be interested in purchasing capacity in the new planned water treatment facility. Those discussions have already began. Water Supply Plan. The State of North Carolina requires that all water systems submit an approved water supply plan annually. This plan is currently being updated by the HRW staff. The purpose of this plan is to provide evidence to the HCBOC 050624 Pg. 482 Harnett County, North Carolina | Recommended Budget 2024-2025 197 Harnett countY Fiscal Year 2025 Harnett regional Water- - 5 State that the water system is providing adequate planning for the supply of water through a designated planning period. Water supply planning is also continuing in the area of hydraulic modeling as the engineering firm of Hazen & Sawyer is engaged in providing an updated water hydraulic model of our entire distribution system. This will be critical importance in planning and directing future water resources to accommodate new growth. Water Conservation Measures. Harnett County amended its Water Shortage & Conservation Ordinance in the spring of 2008. The ordinance was amended in response to the drought conditions in our area over the last several years. The ordinance now more clearly defines the stages of water conservation and what triggers their enactment. It also established a normal irrigation schedule and increased the department’s enforcement authority during emergencies. Our water supply is a critical resource that must be protected at all costs. Water Distribution System. HRW is in design discussions with the Town of Holly Springs in Wake County to upgrade our distribution system by constructing a 12 MGD intermediate pump station and 1 million gallon elevated storage tank to complete HRW’s ability to supply the Town with their entire 10 MGD water capacity allocation. This project is estimated to cost approximately $23 million dollars and would be jointly funded from the Town of Holly Springs and HRW. It is estimated to begin in FY 26 but could happen earlier depending upon the Town’s schedule. The Erwin Water and Wastewater Project is planned for FY 25 and will make needed water and wastewater improvements in certain areas of the Town. This project is estimated to cost $1.5 million dollars. The Harnett Jetport Utility Extension Project is planned for FY 27 and consists of the extension of approximately 5,000 linear feet of 8 inch waterline and 4 inch sewer force main with the construction of a wastewater pump station to serve the expansion of the facilities at and adjacent to the Harnett Regional Jetport. This project is estimated to cost approximately $2.5 million dollars.

As you are aware, Harnett County’s water system is interconnected to several area public water systems that we do not provide water to including: the City of Dunn, the Town of Benson, the City of Raleigh, the Town of Apex, the City of Fayetteville (PWC), the City of Durham, and finally the Town of Cary. These connections are of a vital importance in the event of emergency water shortage conditions. The ability to provide and receive additional water from these various sources makes all of these systems more dependent upon each other and truly interconnected in a regional manner. HRW is a member of the Triangle Water Supply Partnership and our water system participates with the triangle water utilities in regional water supply planning, with the goal of collaboratively planning for, maintaining, and implementing, long-term sustainable and secure water supplies for our region in the future. WASTEWATER SYSTEM Wastewater Treatment and Collection. The County currently owns two active wastewater treatment plants, the North Harnett Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant and the South Harnett Regional Wastewater Plant. The South Harnett plant began operation in June 2009 and has a capacity of 15 mgd. It serves all of the southern area of the County and Fort Bragg. The North Harnett Wastewater Treatment Plant has a capacity of 7.5 MGD and recently underwent major modifications to its filters and bio-solids storage facilities as part of the North Harnett Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade Project. This project was completed in FY 2020-21 at a cost of approximately $11 million dollars. The North Harnett Wastewater Treatment Plant is also under construction for a major capacity upgrade which will increase the plant’s capacity to 16 MGD. This project costs approximately $112 million dollars and includes participation from our regional wastewater partner towns of Angier, Fuquay-Varina and Lillington. This major expansion is expected to be complete in FY 26. The Southwest Wastewater Pump Station & Force Main Project consists of the renovation of our regional sewer lift station and the construction of approximately 5 miles of 20 inch sewer force main along Hwy 87 in the Southwest portion of Harnett County. This project is currently under design and is estimated to cost approximately $9 million dollars and construction should be underway in FY 25.

Harnett County has commissioned four different engineers since 1968 to look at comprehensive approaches to the long-range planning of Harnett County’s water and wastewater needs. The most recent of these is the Northern Harnett Wastewater Master Plan for the Districts in the northern section of the County. This study was authored by Hazen and Sawyer and was completed in FY 2017-18. All of these wastewater plans have concluded that a regional approach utilizing a consolidation of systems is the best plan practical for protection of public health and economic development. There will continue to be County development of services which will extend from existing facilities; and, due to the escalating cost of expansion and operating expenses, it is likely that other regions within the County will be attempting to regionalize systems within the next ten years. In addition to this, regulatory restraints will force regionalization to happen in order to eliminate as many discharges into our water basin as possible. Areas outside the County, which are tributary to our drainage basins and wastewater treatment facilities, (i.e. southern Wake County and northern Cumberland County as recent examples) also provide realistic opportunities for regionalization. These relationships should be nurtured to provide the greatest scale of economy in building additional wastewater collection lines to serve Harnett County citizens. FINANCIAL PLANNING Revenue Projections. Revenue projections for the next 10 years are difficult if not impossible to correctly predict. They are tied to a myriad of factors including residential and commercial growth in the County, local and regional economic conditions, and the ability of our utility to meet all future water and sewer needs throughout the County and region. Before we can attempt to predict future revenues, we need to look at current revenue trends for the last several fiscal years. HCBOC 050624 Pg. 485 200 Harnett County, North Carolina | Recommended Budget 2024-2025 Harnett countY Fiscal Year 2025 Harnett regional Water- - 8 HRW Operating Revenues Financial Operating Period Revenues FY 13-14 $34,624,099 FY 14-15 $32,162,037 FY 15-16 $34,446,531 FY 16-17 $35,872,649 FY 17-18 $39,203,558 FY 18-19 $39,987,902 FY 19-20 $41,091,355 FY 20-21 $42,140,995 FY 21-22 $49,139,362 FY 22-23 $49,568,547 You can see from these figures that annual revenues increased by $14,944,448 in the last nine fiscal years. This represents a 43% increase in annual operating revenues in that time span. The majority of this increase is due to the growth of water and wastewater infrastructure throughout the County and increasing growth of water supply to the surrounding region. Rates must be adjusted to cover the ever increasing cost of service to include debt repayment and meet capital reserve targets to cover emergencies and capital project funding. The overall financial strategy of the Department is to continue to maximize revenues consistent with an even pace of residential and commercial/industrial growth within the County. Expenditures will be kept in line consistent with adequately maintaining treatment and distribution systems while emphasizing regulatory compliance in all areas. Harnett Regional Water is at a historical crossroads in the sense that 95% of all County residents have access to water. Additional access to water has been the primary source of a growing revenue base in the past. However, since most areas within the County now have access to water, future revenue growth will be directly correlated to the Department’s goal to provide access to sewer to densely populated unincorporated areas of the County and the Department’s ever increasingly important role as a regional water and wastewater treatment provider to surrounding municipalities, counties and Fort Bragg.

Although the overwhelming result of the study was positive, one of the main recommendations for improvement within the department was in the area of customer service. Specifically, the need to upgrade existing outdated technologies such as water/sewer customer billing software that was over a decade old, asset management work order software, automated customer telephone systems, etc. HRW has aggressively started that process and has recently completed the installation of a new and enhanced customer information system (CIS) software system that includes a mobile work order and enhanced customer portal system. We have also engaged with new providers to enhance our existing Interactive Voice Response (IVR) telephone system to give customers access to enhanced technological features. HRW has also installed updated smart meters. These new meters send usage data to HRW through a wireless network and provide much more information to our customers and staff. All of these efforts have greatly improved our customers access to information and allowed us to serve their needs much more efficiently.

It shows how facilities, equipment, and other projects that cost $100,000 or more could be scheduled and funded over the next seven years, beginning in FY 2025 . It is important to state upfront that this is a PLAN, not a BUDGET, since a budget controls the actual spending of allocated funds. While staff attempts to be as accurate as possible, it is difficult to estimate project costs exactly, particularly early in the planning process. Before funds can be spent, they must be budgeted through the operating budget or, in most cases, through a separately adopted project ordinance. The same is true for operating costs, particularly for new facilities. As facilities are being planned, staff attempts to identify operating costs, such as staffing and utilities. The cost of these items depends on final square footage and operational issues that may not be apparent until the facility is far along in planning. CIP Process The CIP is a plan which is updated annually and may be modified at any time to reflect changing conditions. A CIP is a systematic way of anticipating, planning, and budgeting for major projects. The adoption of a CIP can improve the credit worthiness (bond rating) of a jurisdiction. Timeline for adoption: >CIP requests originate at the department/agency level. Requests were submitted on or before September 23, 20233. Staff provided support to Harnett County Schools (HCS) and Central Carolina Community College (CCCC). >The Manager’s Office is responsible for reviewing new and existing requests and recommending a proposed CIP to the Board of Commissioners. The recommended CIP was presented on November 20, 2023. During the November 28, 2023, work session, Commissioners reviewed the recommendation in detail.. >Public comment was held on December 4, 2023. >The CIP was adopted on December 18, 2023. Overall Approach Keep in mind that the Capital Improvement Program is just a plan. While a great deal of effort and analysis have gone into the development of the CIP, it will most likely change during the fiscal year. The CIP will continue to be reviewed throughout the year, and recommended plan changes will be presented to the Board of Commissioners for consideration. While many of the projects are funded through capital reserve funds, the CIP proposes three projects funded through debt, including the construction of a middle school, a gymnasium addition at Lillington-Shawtown Elementary School, and the construction of a new animal shelter. The animal shelter and middle school projects were previously earmarked as future endeavors in the previous year’s CIP. HCBOC 050624 Pg. 492 Harnett County, North Carolina | Recommended Budget 2024-2025 About the Capital Improvements Program (CIP) 207 harnett countyStaff tries to include reasonable escalation of costs in project budgets, but because projects are scheduled in the future actual inflation may prove higher than planned inflation. Due to the current high demand for construction and the increasing cost of materials, the prior escalation of 5-8% is now too low, and higher rates are now being applied. Board of Education The Board of Education has requested approximately $200 million (in today’s dollars) in new facility requests. The County currently does not have the resources to pay for these facilities, so these projects are shown as future projects in the CIP. In April 2023, as part of its FY 2024 budget request, the Board of Education presented a list of facility needs to the Board of Commissioners. The list and how the CIP addresses these needs are as follows (per the Board of Education document, costs shown below are estimates and do not include escalation or maintenance-type requests): HCBOC 050624 Pg. 493 208 About the Capital Improvements Program (CIP) Harnett County, North Carolina | Recommended Budget 2024-2025 harnett countyCategory/Projects April 2023 Estimated Cost How CIP Addresses Current Projects Weapons Detection System $ 3,977,247 New - Included as a funded project Northwest Harnett Elementary School $ 42,783,565 Included as a funded project Johnsonville Elementary School (Phase 1 - New Cafeteria, New Windows, Gym Renovation)$ 5,100,000 Included as a funded project Johnsonville Elementary School (Phase 2 - New Classroom Building)$ 8,957,730 ESSER funded Overhills Elementary School Addition (300 seats with cafe expansion)$ 6,291,541 ESSER funded Highland Elementary School Addition (300 seats with cafe expansion)$ 7,514,875 ESSER funded Harnett Central High School Stadium Press Box $ 416,731 Not submitted as a CIP request; locally funded in FY 2023 Western Harnett High School Stadium Press Box $ 385,879 Not submitted as a CIP request; locally funded in FY 2023 Central Services/BOE (Facility Renovations)$ 3,834,191 ESSER and locally funded Dunn Elementary School (Classroom Addition)$ 7,575,423 ESSER funded Tier 1 Projects (Immediate to 1 year) New Child Nutrition Freezer/Cooler $ 4,294,035 New - Included as a funded project (estimated cost as of October 2023) New School Transportation Facility $ 13,974,181 Included as a future project (estimated cost as of October 2023) New Custodial/Storage Facility $ 6,600,000 Included as a future project Flatwoods Middle School (1100 seats, not incl. land)$ 78,000,000 Included as a funded project (estimated cost as of September 2023) New South Harnett Lillington/Highland High School (2000 seats, not incl. road extension)$ 95,000,000 Included as a future project Lillington-Shawtown Elementary School Gym Addition $ 7,285,000 New - Included as a funded project LaFayette Elementary School Renovations $ 1,000,000 Included as a future project Harnett Early College at Dunn Relocation/Renovations $ 565,000 Included as a funded project (estimated cost as of October 2023) Flatwoods Elementary School $ 43,000,000 Not submitted as a CIP request Tier 2 Projects (2 to 3 years) STAR Academy Renovations/Replacement $ 100,000 Included as a future project; Will be removed from CIP when property exchange is final Triton High School Auxiliary Gym Addition $ 10,000,000 Not submitted as a CIP request Harnett County Early College/Career Tech Center (Lillington)$ 30,000,000 Not submitted as a CIP request Buies Creek Elementary School Replacement $ 35,000,000 Included as a future project Harnett Central HS/Triton HS/Western Harnett High School Renovations TBD Not submitted as a CIP request HCBOC 050624 Pg. 494 Harnett County, North Carolina | Recommended Budget 2024-2025 About the Capital Improvements Program (CIP) 209 harnett countyCategory/Projects April 2023 Estimated Cost How CIP Addresses Tier 3 Projects (4 to 7 years) Southwestern Harnett-area Elementary School (NC 87 corridor)$ 43,000,000 Not submitted as a CIP request Northern/Northwest Harnett-area Elementary School $ 43,000,000 Not submitted as a CIP request North Harnett Primary Renovations TBD Not submitted as a CIP request Tier 4 Projects (Beyond 7 years) Western Harnett-area Middle School $ 75,000,000 Not submitted as a CIP request—beyond CIP timeframe Northwestern Harnett-area Middle School (land procured)$ 75,000,000 Not submitted as a CIP request—beyond CIP timeframe Other School Renovations (school-by-school basis)TBD Not submitted as a CIP request—beyond CIP timeframe HCBOC 050624 Pg. 495 210 Project Evaluation and Prioritization Criteria Harnett County, North Carolina | Recommended Budget 2024-2025 harnett countyProject Evaluation and Prioritization Criteria Each new project is reviewed by the CIP Management Team, which consists of the County Manager, Deputy and Assistant County Managers, Finance Officer, and Budget Director.

Assumptions Generally, construction costs are inflated 10-12% per year. Staff also recommends a 5-10% contingency for most projects. Other project costs, such as equipment, and operating costs are usually inflated by a factor of 3% per year, unless there is good reason to use another inflationary factor (which will be noted). Operating costs are generally inflated 3% per year unless costs are fixed by contract. Debt Indicators As the list above demonstrates, there are significant future projects on the horizon, namely school facilities, the construction of a new animal shelter, and construction of a new housing unit at the County’s detention center, which is projected to need an addition in the next ten years. All these projects will require that the County issue debt in order to fund them. Harnett County already has a fairly high debt burden (figures below are from the NC Treasurer’s 2022 Analysis of Debt report): >The debt to appraised value ratio is 1.793%. The average ratio of counties 100,000 to 249,999 population is 0.96%. The highest ratio in the population group is 1.793%. >Harnett County’s debt per capita (what each resident would owe if the debt had to be repaid today) is $1,272. The average debt per capita for the population group is $1,150. The highest debt per capita in this group is $2,250.. The County currently contributes $11 million from the general fund to fund existing and planned future debt. In addition, sales tax restricted for education is accumulated for debt.
