11.Adjourn
Mr. Smith stated there is a request to change the Summerville Bunnlevel Fire Department Relief
Fund Board membership from Mr. Harry Korner to Mr. Rodney Gregory. The consensus of the
Board was to add this item to the consent agenda.
Mr. Bean stated the Solid Waste Department seeks approval of an amendment to Republic
Services’ current contract. Republic Services currently operates all seven of the County’s
convenience sites, including providing staff, maintenance of equipment and grounds and hauling
waste and recycling for each site. All necessary reporting goes to Solid Waste. The amendment
would extend the terms for an additional three years, which the parties have agreed. There is a
one-time rate adjustment of 11.49% that equates to $73,587 to cover hauling costs and a
Consumer Price Index cap of 4% was included in this amendment. The consensus of the Board
was to add this item to the consent agenda.
Ms. Arbor stated there was a small typo to the item and it was a rezoning request, not a text
amendment. Ms. Arbor states the requestor is requesting to rezone a 10.62 +/- acre site from RA-
30 to RA-20M. The property is environmentally sensitive due to wetlands and the proximity to
Neills Creek. Ms. Arbor went on to explain the permitted uses in the two zoning districts as well
as the Land Use Classification Compatibility. Ms. Arbor stated the request is not completely
compatible with the Land Use Classifications. The staff’s evaluation was not able to support the
request. The Planning Board found the request for the small-scale rezoning to be unreasonable
due to the potential impact on the surrounding community and the immediate neighbors. There
were several citizens that spoke in opposition to the request at the Planning Board meeting with
concerns about potential impacts. Commissioner Weatherspoon questioned whether the property
was land locked. Ms. Arbor stated there was a private easement allowing access to the property.
Ms. Lane went through the updates to the Personnel Ordinance line by line, mentioning there
were several updates to the Personnel Ordinance to bring the Ordinance current and add new
legislative changes to the Ordinance. Throughout the ordinance the mention of Deputy County
Manager to update for all the positions in administration. The introduction to the Personnel
Ordinance integrated to match the new strategic plan mission, vision and goals. Commissioner
McKoy asked what was added as it relates to the Board of Commissioners responsibilities with
regard to the Board of Elections. Ms. Lane stated that it was updated to reflect the statute.
Commissioner McKoy questioned if the cell phone use policy was removed from the ordinance,
who would be responsible for making the decisions. Ms. Lane stated that each department head
would have to create a policy, which would all be provided to the Board for approval of the
policy. Commissioner McKoy questioned whether the State allowed employees time off for
Juneteenth, which Ms. Lane confirmed was a floating holiday at the State level for employees.
Ms. Lane went over the updates regarding discipline for unsatisfactory job performance.
Commissioner McKoy mentioned a verbal warning will sometimes straighten an individual out
and asked why the need to remove the verbal warning. Commissioner McKoy questioned why
we are eliminating the verbal warning, stating that the verbal warning would help the employee
recognize they need to do better. Ms. Lane stated that the verbal warnings were not being
HCBOC 070124 Pg. 4
Harnett County Board of Commissioners
Work Session Minutes

Page 3 of 6
documented properly, which Commissioner McKoy responded that is a manager issue. Ms. Lane
mentioned that there is still encouragement for coaching before a warning takes place and there
are still Performance Improvement Plans in place. Commissioner McKoy stated she would like
for the oral warning to remain because it may eliminate a termination. Commissioner Matthews
questioned the oral warning and the form necessary when the second warning is issued and
whether the oral warning is noted, and Ms. Lane confirmed that the form provides the date and
check box of the oral warning while providing the date of the second warning. Ms. Lane
confirmed the preference of the Board would be to keep the oral warning intact in the Personnel
Ordinance. Commissioner Matthews stated keeping the oral warning would allow for verbal
conversation about any deficiencies in the employee's performance. Commissioner McKoy
questioned where the anti-nepotism policy was in the Personnel Ordinance. Ms. Lane stated it
was not added to the policy and referred to page 31, Section 6, The Employment of Relatives.
Commissioner McKoy stated she did not find it appropriate that department heads should not be
hiring their family members. Ms. Lane stated that a department head should not be able to
supervise a family member; the existing policy prohibits it. Mr. Trout suggested that the
department head fill out a form to request the hiring of a family member of the County Manager.
This form would state that a supervisory relationship would not exist. Mr. Trout stated he agreed
that family members supervising family members can become problematic. Commissioner
McKoy reiterated the need for a policy against nepotism. Mr. Trout stated they needed to go
down three levels of relation. Vice Chairman Matthews stated he would like the item on as a
separate item to address the two revisions.
Mr. Trout stated the company Carolina Community Foundation has a 10% administrative fee to
manage the nonprofit funds. If the decision is to go to in-house and have the County making
decisions and receiving funds, the money received from individuals is not tax deductible. Mr.
Trout’s recommendation would be to manage the nonprofit funds in-house rather than pay
another foundation to manage those funds. If the in-house management of nonprofit funds
became too much to handle internally, the option to have them managed by another entity could
be revisited. Commissioner McKoy stated that in-house management would be ideal, with the
final decisions regarding nonprofit funding coming from the Board. Each organization should be
set up as a 501(c)(3) and reporting requirements should be implemented. Vice Chairman
Matthews would like to explore the idea of a public/private partnership and would like to see
some options regarding that design as a brand-new organization. Mr. Trout stated he would bring
an option to the board for consideration.
Mr. Trout stated there a several items that need guidance from the Board.
•The decision on the West Area tax levy rate increase and whether the increase should be
two cents or four cents increase. Commissioner Weatherspoon recommended two cents.
Vice Chairman Matthews noted the rate in the districts adjacent were higher and he
questioned whether this was a matter of equity or a matter of need. Mr. Trout stated it is a
matter of equity, but that there was an expression of a need. The consensus of the Board
was a two-cent increase and continue as an incremental increase rather than four cents at
once.

•The Boys and Girls Club allocation of $50,000, and whether the Board would approve or
eliminate the request from the budget. Commissioner Weatherspoon noted there have
been two $50,000 appropriations from the State, his recommendation was to eliminate it.
Vice Chairman Matthews mentioned the two appropriations coming from the State. Mr.
Trout confirmed the two appropriations from the State. Commissioner McKoy stated she
would like to see a policy in place prior to releasing any nonprofit funding.
Commissioner Weatherspoon concurred. The consensus of the Board was to eliminate the
allocation.
•The $75,000 allocation for Nonprofits. The consensus of the Board was to eliminate the
allocation.
•Guidance was needed from the Board regarding the cost-of-living increase.
Commissioner Weatherspoon stated 3% was what the State was providing to its
employees as a cost-of-living increase. The consensus of the Board regarding the cost-of-
living increase was 3% across the board.
•Guidance was needed from the Board regarding the refundable deposit requirement to use
the new room at the Jetport. The consensus of the Board was to approve the refundable
deposit for the use of the new room at the Jetport.
•Guidance was needed from the Board regarding the additional animal shelter attendant
position. This position would create a $54,000 increase in our current budget.
Commissioner Weatherspoon mentioned a 12-month hiring freeze and creating a savings
of almost $4.9 million dollars to make up for the almost $6 million shortfall in education.
Mr. Trout stated during the preparation of the budget all positions are funded. Mr. Trout
stated there are no true savings because the positions that remain unfilled is money that
remains in the fund balance. Commissioner McKoy noted the staffing issues are dire at
the animal shelter. The consensus of a majority of the Board was to approve the one
animal shelter attendant position.
•Guidance was needed from the Board regarding Solid Waste roadside cleaning crew.
This funding comes from our enterprise fund and keeps our roadsides clean. The
consensus of the Board was to approve the Solid Waste roadside cleaning crew.
•Guidance was needed from the Board regarding the Low Wealth Funding for the Board
of Education. Mr. Trout stated the last item relates to the determination of the covering of
the low wealth funding that was not provided by the State this year based on the formula.
Management spent time trying to figure out this formula. Provided in a memo, were the
basic tenants of what that formula relates to, and it relates to three factors. We first look
at our property values, those are unfortunately two years behind, they lag as one of the
inputs into the formula. We had a large jump in property values with gain from our
revaluation and so that revaluation increased our numbers. They then have a weighted
sales assessment number that is added into their formula. Ours was 88.12, that is
important because that reduces how much our effected tax levy ends up being. Thirdly, it
takes our .591 per 100 assessed tax levy and add that 88.12 to it, it reduces and provides a
modified tax levy rate of .5210 which ends up being below the State average tax levy rate
of .5420. It ends up being a combination of higher valuations which caused a
modification to our weighted sales assessment which caused our tax levy rate to drop
below the State average. When you are below the State average, the State says you

should be helping more with your schools based on this formula. Ms. McFadden dug
even deeper, she talked with some staff at the Department of Public Instruction and was
able to tell us exactly where we could have done things differently and what the impact
would have been. Ms. Honeycutt stated it came down to a few factors, the property value
and the market value played in. Through assistance from Department of Public
Instruction, we were able to take that long calculation that she had printed out and
provided to the Commissioners. There are a lot of items that go into that calculation but
there are two items that basically we were able to go back and drop in the change so had
the tax rate been shifted from .591 to .616, that would have given us the tax rate average
that we would have been equal to the State average and that would have kept the full
funding in place. The other side of that would have been the year of that levy, when we
set that tax rate had we left the tax rate at .591, had we given the schools an additional
$11,876,834 to meet the average State pupil allocation that would have saved us the $5.8
million in funding, so it came down to what we gave and the tax rate. Throughout the
PowerPoint presentation provided, the County has been trying to go up on the per pupil
count to provide more current expense, but we are also putting an additional $2.4 million
over for capital maintenance items to assist schools. Those are items that the County does
not get credit for and that does not tie into any projects expense funding calculations. In
addition, we are also continuing to set aside our reserves of our fund balance so that we
could go in and instruct schools because the County through the Statute is responsible for
the instruction of capital buildings for the school system and that includes schools. With
the market the way it has been, the cost of construction is going up. The projections we
have for the cost have exceeded exponentially as well as our borrowing rate. So, as we
had talked about, everything ties into it but the two main factors when we were
discussing with Department of Public Instruction it came back to the tax rate and/or the
levy. In the end, it just boiled down to those two items increasing the levy a little bit or
increasing the current expense allocation over $11 million. Mr. Trout stated the
calculations that had been pulled together were about $5.8 million short. We have right
now in the budget in order to put a number in, we currently have $5,882,183 million
placed in our budget, in contingency and the reason at that this point unless a decision is
made regarding any cuts of the budget or any tax increase is decided on. It is put in there
as use of fund balance, and we put that number in contingency because we know from
discussions with our Legislators that it is still being pursued as to whether the State will
assist us. If we have it in contingency and the state decides to provide some funding back
to us, then we do not need to pull it all out of contingency and it would just go back to
our fund balance. This way we ensure that the amount is there in the event the state does
not provide additional funding. Ms. Honeycutt did a calculation, and we are around 23 %
of fund balance if we were to us the full amount in contingency right now. We would still
be above our policy of 20% mentioned by the Vice Chairman. Mr. Trout noted the
enormity of this decision by the Board. If there is any additional information needed, we
will be happy to work on that. Vice Chairman stated he would hate to give more work to
do, and he realizes this is an unusual time. He realizes the initial budget draft was done
before we were aware of this but as he worked through some of the projected budget. He
couldn’t help but come across some things that made him wonder if they were really
HCBOC 070124 Pg. 7

Work Session Minutes

needed for next year. One example, we have in the budget to provide funding to repaint
the inside of a building and he questioned if that could wait another year. Vice Chairman
questioned if there would be an opportunity to go through and look some of those things,
that may be able to wait another year, to reduce the hit to the fund balance. Mr. Trout
stated they could go through the budget but wanted to know what the target amount
would be satisfactory. Mr. Trout stated if the target was $5.8 million, that would change
our service level and that would be major changes. He proposed a $1 million and $2
million target. Commissioner McKoy mentioned the risk of reducing the fund balance
and the additional problems it could cause in the event of an emergency. Commissioner
McKoy stated we need to maintain County services to keep the County in operation.
Commissioner Nicol made the recommendation to add this for further discussion on June
25, 2024. He questioned the possibility of an emergency meeting in the event of
continued revisions to the budget. Commissioner Weatherspoon noted that June 25, 2024,
could be a voting meeting and if there was a need for an emergency meeting it would be
determined at that meeting. Mr. Trout stated that he preferred that because there are a
couple of things that he was informed of as he walked into the meeting. The budget
director will not be available on June 28 and the information must be in the system and
there was a mention of the system being down for some time for upgrades as well. Mr.
Trout confirmed that you can annotate an action item on the work session.
Mr. Trout shared he will be leaving for a leadership training event beginning June 11, 2024 and
through Friday, June 15. He noted he received a scholarship to be able to attend this training
seminar.
Commissioner Weatherspoon made a motion to go into Closed Session to instruct the County
staff concerning the position to be taken by the County in negotiating a contract for the
acquisition of real property. This motion is made pursuant to NC General Statute Section 143-
318.11 (a)(5). The motion was seconded by Commissioner Nicol and carried unanimously.
Commissioner Nicol made a motion to adjourn the Board of Commissioners at 11:55 am.
Commissioner McKoy seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.

No one else spoke. The public comment period was closed.
Janice Lane, HR Director, provided a copy and reviewed proposed changes to Section 6. Anti-Nepotism
Policy section of the Personnel Policy.
Option 1.
The purpose of the Anti-Nepotism Policy is to ensure that all hiring, promotion, and other employment-
related decisions within the County are made based on merit, qualifications, and the best interests of the
county. This policy aims to prevent conflicts of interest, favoritism, and any appearance of impropriety
in county employment practices. The employment of members of the same immediate family within the
same County department is discouraged and should be avoided when at all possible. Such relationships
put a strain on the work environment for the related employees and those working with and around
them. As an exception to this general rule, members of the same immediate family may be considered
for employment within the same County department where two (2) current County employees marry or
if significant recruiting problems exist. For the purposes of this policy, a relative (immediate family
member) includes three levels of a family relationship whether by blood, marriage or adoption.
Hiring, Employment and Promotions and Transfers:
•No employee or official of the County shall participate in the hiring process or employment
decision-making for a position for which a relative has applied.
•Relatives of current employees or officials may be considered for employment, provided they
meet all qualifications and are selected through the standard competitive hiring process.
•Under no circumstances shall a relative be hired into a position where they would directly or
indirectly supervise or be supervised by another relative.
HCBOC 070124 Pg. 10
Harnett County Board of Commissioners
Regular Meeting Minutes
June 17, 2024
Page 3 of 6
•Relatives may apply for promotions or transfers within the county, but the same restrictions on
supervision and influence apply. Employees may not be promoted or transferred into a position
where they would directly or indirectly supervise or be supervised by a relative.
Employees and officials must disclose any potential nepotism situation to the Human Resources
Department immediately upon becoming aware of it by completing an Anti-Nepotism Exception Form.
Any exception to this policy must be approved by the County Manager before the relative may be hired.
Ms. Lane stated Option 2 is the same policy as I just read with the addition of: Members of the same
immediate family may not be considered for employment within the same County department.
Commissioner McKoy made a motion to approve Option 2. The motion was seconded by Commissioner
Nicol and carried unanimously.
Commissioner Nicol made a motion to approve the Personnel Ordinance as proposed with the
amendment. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Weatherspoon and carried unanimously.
Chairman Morris stated I assume since no one has stated, we will let the manager come back with an
effective date when to implement this. Mr. Trout stated yes will do.
Chairman Morris opened the public hearing for a requested rezoning from RA-30 to the RA-20M
Zoning District: Case #PLAN2404-0001 Applicant: George & Claudia Elliott; 10.62 +/- acres; Pin
#0663-13-8211.000; From RA-30 to RA-20M Zoning District; Black River Township; SR # 2230
(Tylerstone Drive). Sarah Arbour, Planner II, reviewed the following information regarding the
requested rezoning:
The property is a densely wooded, unimproved tract of land located in between the Victoria Hills
subdivision and Neills Creek. The property has extensive wetland coverage and is located within the
100-year floodplain. Surrounding land uses consist of single-family residences and unimproved land.
The tract is accessed via an easement which connects to Tylerstone Drive, a state-maintained road from
the adjoining Victoria Hills subdivision. Within the easement is an approximately 18' wide drive aisle
with varying depths of compacted gravel. Ms. Arbour reviewed the zoning district compatibility, land
use classification compatibility and site photographs. Ms. Arbour shared staff’s evaluation:
•The impact on the adjacent property owners Is unreasonable and the potential inconvenience or
harm to the community outweighs the potential benefits. The uses permitted under the proposed
district are incompatible with the surrounding land uses and the uses permitted in the adjacent,
more restrictive residential zoning districts, RA-30 and RA-40.
•The requested zoning district is partially compatible with the land use classifications. The
property has two land use classifications, Medium Density Residential and Environmentally
Sensitive Areas. A change of zoning to the RA-20M zoning district would potentially allow
more intense uses than the current zoning, which would be less compatible with the
Environmentally Sensitive Areas land use classification.
HCBOC 070124 Pg. 11
Harnett County Board of Commissioners
Regular Meeting Minutes
June 17, 2024
Page 4 of 6
•The requested zoning would not enhance or maintain the health, safety and general welfare
because of the potential impacts caused by rezoning the property to a less restrictive zoning
district.
•The request to rezone the parcel from RA-30 to RA-20M should be evaluated for reasonableness.
The subject property is located in an area zoned RA- 30, RA-40, and Conservation, and the
requested zoning classification is not present in the area.
At the June 3, 2024 Planning Board meeting, the Planning Board voted unanimously (5-0) to
recommend denial of the requested rezoning of the property to the RA-20M zoning district. Based on
staff's evaluation, the Planning Board found the request for the small-scale rezoning to be unreasonable
due to the potential impact on the surrounding community and the immediate neighbors.
There were numerous residents from the surrounding community who attended the public hearing, and
several spoke in opposition. The residents expressed concerns about the potential impacts if the property
were to be developed into a manufactured home park, which is an allowable special use in the requested
zoning district; the potential impacts on property values, public safety, the environment, and private
property matters.
Staff concludes: As stated in the evaluation, the requested rezoning to RA-20M would have an
unreasonable impact on the surrounding community based on the incompatibility of the permitted uses
in the requested zoning district with the surrounding land uses and more restrictive residential zoning
districts. It is recommended that this rezoning request be DENIED.
Chairman Morris asked if there was anyone who would like to speak in favor of the request and the
following people spoke:
1.Dr. Claudia Elliot, applicant, spoke in favor of the requested rezoning.
2.Elizabeth Longman spoke in favor of affordable housing in Harnett County.
3.Alan Longman spoke in favor of the requested rezoning.
4.George Elliott spoke in favor of the requested rezoning.
5.Sparkle Bass spoke in favor of the requested rezoning.
Chairman Morris asked if there was anyone that would like to speak in opposition of the request and the
following people spoke:
1.William Grimme spoke in opposition to the requested rezoning.
2.April Peguero spoke in opposition to the requested rezoning.
3.Scott Schanberg, resident and HOA President for Victoria Hills II, spoke in opposition to the
requested rezoning.

Chairman Morris requested those in opposition to the rezoning raise their hands.
No one else spoke, Chairman Morris closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Weatherspoon stated I have been sitting here looking at the property, at the wetlands and
the flood plain, I’m guessing about 75% of the property is wetlands and flood plain. I do not know how
they would be able to use that. Commissioner Weatherspoon stated based on the findings of the
Planning Board and staff, I move that we deny this rezoning request. The motion was seconded by
Commissioner Nicol and carried unanimously. Commissioner McKoy stated I am in favor of affordable
housing, but I am against changing rezoning from RA30 to RA20. (Attachment 1)
Brent Trout, County Manager, stated at the request of the Board to look at potential ways to cut the
budget in order to be able to reduce the amount of funded balance that was utilized in order to balance
the budget and providing funds to the School District, we went back to look at a couple of different
options. Mr Trout reviewed Option 1 and Option 2 for proposed budget revisions. Commissioner
McKoy asked Mr. Trout did he felt these recommendations were enough. Mr. Trout stated I feel at a
minimum we should do Option 1. Additional discussion included one-time supplanted ARPA funds and
CCCC requests for $184,000. Consensus of the Board was to go with Option 1 plus reducing the amount
to CCCC by $184,000 thereby reducing the 500,000 cut of Harnett County Schools and transfer
supplanted ARPA funds to reduce use of Fund Balance. Mr. Trout asked do we want to reduce anymore
what we’re going to give the school system, or we hold at this point using fund balance to make up the
rest of the budget shortfall. Chairman Morris stated if you can find some more to reduce that I would
like to see that. Mr. Trout stated not to take any further reductions on what we provide to the school is
what I am hearing and do half of the desks for DSS. Mr. Trout stated we will bring back an updated
budget for the next Board meeting and any changes from that point forward would need to be made by
amendment by a commissioner in order to make the change based on what we present and that is still an
option if you have an item. If you have an item you want more information on before that meeting,
please send me an email. Thank you.
Mr. Trout stated I did respond back to Mr. Reeves Saturday relating to the dog issue. I had a little bit of
trouble and delay with getting the answers but I take full responsibility for not having got back to him
sooner. It is an item that has been on my list that I just have not got to and I apologize for that. I reached
out to Mr. Reeves and I’m hoping there will be an opportunity to meet with him before I leave for a
conference, if not, I will forward him a written response and meet with him when I return.
Mr. Trout stated there is one budget amendment we need to add, 157B, that was put on your desk
tonight. Commissioner Nicol made a motion to approve the budget amendments as requested by the
Finance Officer including 157B. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Weatherspoon and carried
unanimously. (Attachment 2)
