School. The new Highland High School will have a capacity to accommodate up to 1,700 students to
alleviate crowding at other high schools. Funding will be accomplished by the issuance of debt in the
form of limited obligation bonds. To issue the debt, the County will need to have bids in hand before
receiving approval from the Local Government Commission. To cover the cost of obtaining those bids
and to pay any invoices for the project submitted, the County will be required to provide funding ahead
of receiving debt proceeds. To ensure that the County can recover this upfront cost, the Board of
Commissioners need to approve the reimbursement resolution for the construction of the new Highland
High School project. Vice Chairman Nicol made a motion to approve the reimbursement resolution for
the construction of the new Highland High School project. The motion was seconded by Commissioner
Morris and carried unanimously. (Attachment 2)
Ms. Honeycutt also reviewed a request to consider the adoption of a project ordinance for Highland
High School. The Board of Education has requested that the County of Harnett construct a new high
school to be located in western Harnett County, to be known as Highland High School. The new
Highland High School will have a capacity to accommodate up to 1,700 students to alleviate crowding
at other high schools. Funding will be accomplished by the issuance of debt in the form of limited
obligation bonds. The first step in the construction process is to establish a budget with the estimated
cost of the project that will allow the Board of Education to begin work on design and plan preparation.
This cost estimate is based on the architect's preliminary budget, dated February 2026. Once complete,
bids will be requested and upon receiving final cost numbers, an amendment to the budget may be
necessary to reflect the true final cost of the project. Vice Chairman Nicol made a motion to approve the

project ordinance for Highland High School. The motion was seconded by Commissioner McKoy and
carried unanimously. (Attachment 3)
Dwight Snow, County Attorney reviewed a request to adopt a Resolution authorizing Harnett County to
reconvey real property to Central Carolina Community College (CCCC). The subject real property is a
3.26 acre tract in the CCCC Harnett County Campus which is the location of the Samuel R. Miriello
Administration/Classroom Building. On June 12, 1997 Harnett County financed one million dollars
toward the construction of the Miriello building. The debt has been paid in full by the County and
CCCC has requested the title to the subject real property be reconveyed back to CCC pursuant to the
financing contract and deed terms. Commissioner Matthews made a motion to adopt a Resolution
authorizing Harnett County to reconvey real property to Central Carolina Community College (CCCC).
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Morris and carried unanimously. (Attachment 4)
Commissioner Morris made a motion to approve budget amendments as requested by the Finance
Officer. The motion was seconded by Vice Chairman Nicol and carried unanimously. (Attachment 5)
Commissioner Comments
Commissioner Matthews stated I am still concerned about having a lot of budget discussions when I feel
like we are still in limbo with regard to what may be coming out of Raleigh. I know we are proceeding
on as status quo, but you do know we do know that the Senate passed the bill on the moratorium. If that
happens then we will go back to 2022. So, there will be some starting form scratch so to speak. So I do
think we are in uncertain times in that regard. I do know the House has not entertained that yet, but I
understand it has been sent over and of course I think the House has a bill they have been working on as
well that would possibly be presented to the voters to possibly limit the amount of the levy rate that the
tax rate could be increased each year. So uncertain times, for us, for Mr. Trout and his staff, do
appreciate your hard work and I hope it is not in vain but at least it will give us a starting point once we
know what the playing field will be going forward.
Chairman Jaggers stated just reassuring the citizens, we are looking at every aspect of the re-evaluation
process, the taxes involved in that, how we go about doing the re-evaluation processes. We are
concerned, especially dealing with mobile homes, we are really concerned about that. Mr. Nicol is also
looking at some other counties and how they handle mobile homes. And even though we sit up here
when we have public comment, and I am not going to get into what they are saying to us, but when they
are talking to us, understand that the fact that we don’t respond to it, it does not mean we are not
hearing. I think most of you in here, that have been coming to the meetings know we hear what you say
and we do respond to it if we can and do by actions not by voice or words. I think it says a lot that we
have no one here today, except the faithful that come. But we turn that mic on and send it over to video
we fill the room up. So what is the purpose of them being here? To actually convey to us what their
needs are or to put on a show. And I don’t know which it is because it seems like to me, if you were
concerned about what’s going on in the county, you would be here today, at every meeting, because at
every meeting, business is conducted.
Commissioner Morris made a motion to go into Closed Session for the following purposes; to discuss
certain personnel matters, and consultation with and instructions to the County legal staff in order to

for partnering with Mid-Carolina in this pursuit.
Sincerely,
Will Deaton
Local Government Services Director

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
HARNETT COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY: COUNTYWIDE DIGITAL CONNECTIVITY & HOTSPOT
LENDING INITIATIVE
Project Overview
The Harnett County Public Library proposes a year-long countywide hotspot lending initiative designed to
expand equitable access to reliable internet connectivity for residents lacking home internet service.
Through the purchase and circulation of 80 T-Mobile-connected mobile hotspot devices, the library will
provide free, portable internet access to underserved households throughout Harnett County.
The program directly addresses the county’s documented digital divide and supports residents’ ability to
access education, workforce opportunities, healthcare services, government resources, and other essential
online tools. The initiative builds upon the library’s existing role as a trusted public access point for
technology while extending internet access beyond library walls and operating hours.
Community Need
According to the North Carolina Department of Information Technology (NCDIT), approximately 13% of
Harnett County residents lack home internet access. The impact is most significant among:
• Rural households with limited broadband infrastructure
• Low-income families
• Seniors and homebound residents
• Individuals with limited transportation access
• Residents relying on online education, telehealth, or workforce services
Currently, library Wi-Fi access is largely limited to on-site use during operating hours, creating barriers for
residents who need reliable connectivity at home or outside standard business hours.
Program Components
The initiative will utilize a multi-platform service delivery model to ensure countywide accessibility and
equitable distribution of resources. Key project components include:
Hotspot Lending Program
• Purchase and deployment of 80 mobile hotspot devices
• Distribution across all eight library branches
• Countywide circulation model ensuring equitable geographic access
• T-Mobile service selected based on local coverage testing and reliability
Mobile & Outreach-Based Connectivity
• Integration with the library’s Bookmobile services
HCBOC 051826 Pg. 102
• Deployment through Adult Outreach programming
• Connectivity support for senior centers, assisted living facilities, and homebound patrons
• Expansion of internet access into rural and underserved communities
Digital Literacy & Community Support
• Internet-enabled digital literacy classes and workshops
• Hands-on assistance with online tools and services
• Training focused on education, telehealth, job searching, and digital navigation
• Community-based instruction delivered in accessible settings
Strategic Alignment and Community-Informed Service Delivery
This initiative directly supports the library’s strategic directive to build capacity for digital literacy and expand
confidence with and access to technology. The program also advances goals identified in the Harnett
County Master Strategic Plan by supporting workforce development, remote employment opportunities,
online education, telehealth access, and economic mobility through improved digital inclusion.
Community engagement played a significant role in shaping the program through surveys, public forums,
stakeholder conversations, and strategic planning efforts, where residents consistently identified lack of
reliable home internet access as a major barrier. Feedback highlighted challenges related to virtual
learning, online job applications, transportation limitations, telehealth access for seniors, and inconsistent
broadband infrastructure in rural areas.
In response, the program was intentionally designed to provide equitable hotspot distribution across all
eight library branches while incorporating Bookmobile and Adult Outreach services to better serve seniors,
homebound residents, and underserved populations. The integration of digital literacy programming
alongside hotspot lending was also directly informed by community feedback expressing the need for both
internet access and assistance navigating online tools and services.
The library will collaborate with senior centers, assisted living facilities, adult outreach organizations, and
community-based partners to support implementation, outreach, digital literacy programming, and
community engagement. These partnerships will help identify residents with connectivity needs while
expanding awareness and accessibility of available services throughout the county.
Services will be delivered countywide through library branches, mobile services, outreach operations, and
community programming sites to ensure accessibility regardless of geographic location, transportation
availability, or mobility limitations.

SUBJECT: Using allocated funding for a website chatbot instead of a mobile
application
REQUESTED BY: Administration
REQUEST:
Administration is requesting to use $10,000 allocated funding for a mobile application
and instead use that funding towards a website chatbot. Staff performed research and
many countites and municipalities had low adoption rate for mobile apps. Many
websites are now mobile friendly. Staff decided that a chatbot would be a better option
for Harnett County and would save staff time. The chatbot would alleviate many of the
web inquiries that staff is currently receiving and responding to. The chatbot will also
help to improve communication and provide faster assistance to residents and visitors
on our website. Individuals will be able to get responses 24/7 using the chatbot. The
chatbot will also offer Multilingual language translation as well. Staff received quotes
and interviewed three companies. The company that staff chose will prorate services to
begin this fiscal year and begin implemntation and setting up the chatbot. The cost to
begin this fiscal year is $1,083. The benefits of the chatbot is that it will also be able to
feed information from our various department websites that are separate from
harnett.org. The annual amount for the chatbot will be $13,000 which will be paid from
Information Technology budget.

DATE: May 4, 2026
TO: Harnett County Board of Commissioners
FROM: Brent Trout, County Manager
SUBJECT: Budget Message for FY 2027
The work has been completed on the Harnett County FY 2027 budget, and it is presented to you today for review and consideration. 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 $6.3 billion 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. In addition to the new construction, we saw an increase in projected revenue due to the revaluation process. The appeal process
for property owners is ongoing so a clear amount of change in valuation is not known until the appeals are completed.
Therefore, we have created an estimate of the value loss we expect to realize at the end of the appeal process at 8%. The current tax levy rate is
$0.591/$100. The known valuation reduced by our expected valuation loss provides a calculation of a revenue neutral rate of $0.4858/$100. The revenues
in total compared to expenses for a continuation budget leave a deficit for this year. In addition, the rapid growth in the County and the priorities of the
Board require us to find additional resources. To meet these needs, I am recommending the continuation of the current tax levy rate of $0.591/$100. The
rate of $0.591 is $0.1052 more than the revenue neutral rate.
other Revenue Sources
In looking at revenue sources other than property tax, we see good news as well as they surpass our Fiscal Year 2026 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.
Sales tax revenue collection has slowed statewide over the past three fiscal years. 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 2025-2026 3.4% above Fiscal Year 2024-2025 levels. They also project a Fiscal Year 2026-2027 sales tax growth of 3.1% over Fiscal
Year 2025-2026 levels. Based on Harnett County trends, we are estimating our sales tax growth to remain approximately 8%. Revenue estimates are
always subject to error and may fluctuate widely based on unpredictable factors such as weather conditions, policy changes, and international conflicts.
HCBOC 051826 Pg. 128
Budget MessageHarnett County, North Carolina | Recommended Budget 2026-2027 15
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.

The FY 2026 Original Budget amount for contingency was $7,321,341. 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 2027 Recommended amount was compared with the original budget, the variance would
be $968,655 and the percent decrease would be 13%. 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 10% increase across the board for rescue agencies. The Dunn/Averasboro Fire District requested a rate decrease. The
recommendation is detailed on the table below.

Harnett county Schools
The FY 2027 Recommended Budget includes an additional $6,000,000 transfer to our debt service fund to pay for the new Highland High School and
CTE High School. The Highland High School is currently estimated at a construction cost of $140,000,000 and the new CTE High School is estimated at
construction cost of $65,000,000. Harnett County will transfer a total of $17,000,000 to the debt service fund. The amount transferred will need to be
increased in future budgets per the financial analysis of Davenport Finance presented to the board at our annual planning session.
Harnett County School System (HCS) presented their request for funding to the County. The recommended funding details are listed below:HCBOC 051826 Pg. 130

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 developing the strategic plan. Staff completed the Performance Management process to determine action plans for the key
strategic actions. The process continued in FY 2024 with phase four with the creation of business plans for each department to execute. The business
plans were completed and approved by the County Manager with implementation occurring throughout the FY 2025 budget year and into the future. The
Rapid Process Improvement program training has been completed, and this summer we will begin to conduct RPI events to review and improve processes
of Harnett County government.
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 2026 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.
Each year, our departments and community partners identify areas for growth that would improve the services we provide to Harnett County. This year,
those requests totaled over $13.25 million. However, due to limited available funding in the General Fund, we had to make some very difficult decisions.
We were only able to recommend $4,545,821 in expansion requests, about 34.3% of what was asked for. While we couldn’t fund everything, we prioritized
the most essential needs, including $2.27 million for county departments and $276,961 for Central Carolina Community College. We also recognized the
immense needs of our school system; while we couldn’t meet their full request of $8.28 million, we have committed $2,000,000 to help Harnett County
Schools continue supporting our students.
Over the past few years, we have continued improving our Capital Improvements Program (CIP) process, and the Board of Commissioners adopted the CIP
in January 2026. The improved process and early adoption meant that we were able to focus our time this spring on the operating budget. The proposed
budget provides the funding needed for 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 necessary to operate our government and covers new expansion items
related to keeping up with our growing County and operations. I am recommending that the tax rate remains at $0.591, the same as last year.
Maintaining this rate is important for the long-term health of our County. Last year, we significantly increased funding for our schools by $15 million,
using one-time savings (fund balance) to cover the cost. This year, the revenue from the recent property revaluation allows us to make that school funding
permanent and sustainable. Additionally, we have allocated $6 million to our debt service fund to prepare for future payments on two new high schools.
These two investments, totaling approximately $21 million, account for the $0.1052 difference between the “revenue-neutral” rate of $0.4858 and our
recommended rate of $0.591. While the proposed budget includes a planned use of $8,604,688 from our fund balance, we typically find that unspent
department funds at the end of the year offset this amount. This allows us to meet our county’s needs while maintaining our commitment to a balanced
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 2027 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 Assistant County Manager, Lisa McFadden, for all the countless hours she has spent preparing this budget for your consideration.
We will conduct a joint session with the Board of Education on May 4, 2026, to discuss their budget request. The presentation of budget details will be
conducted on May 12, 2026, with a public hearing on the budget conducted on May 18, 2026. The final approval of the budget is scheduled for the June
1, 2026, meeting.
We look forward to receiving your comments, questions, and directions over the next month regarding the proposed budget. Please contact Lisa or me

the Library located at 455 mcKinney Parkway, Lillington: Provide funding
for operating expenses to implement Tonie Lending Library to provide an
innovative, inclusive, and broadband-independent literacy solution for the
county’s youngest learners. The Tonie Lending Library directly advances
the Library’s strategic goals of digital equity and foundational literacy. By
providing screen-free, tactile audio tools, this project bridges the “digital
divide” for households lacking reliable broadband or device ownership. This
initiative aligns with early childhood best practices by offering independent,
guided storytelling that supports language development without the
dependency on screens. This program will be available in all branch libraries.
Net Cost: $18,000.

Branch Library located at 28 n Raleigh St, Angier: Provide funding for a
part-time Library Assistant position (grade 13). Increased patron demand
and expanded programming—including a waitlisted STEAM class and four
new wellness sessions—have strained our current staffing levels. Adding

Angier Branch Library located at 28 n Raleigh St, Angier: Provide funding
to replace the aging circulation desk at the Angier Branch Library. The
current furniture is structurally worn and functionally obsolete, failing to

workstations are needed for the upcoming installation of RFID antennas.
The current desk lacks the surface area to provide spacing between
scanners, receipt printers, and computers, and its layout interferes with new
RFID security gate placement. The existing desks lack adequate legroom
and proper ergonomic heights. Removing current overhead hutches will
eliminate sightline obstructions, improving staff’s ability to monitor the

a Library Program Specialist position (grade 16). Benhaven has doubled its
adult programming and attendance over the last year, outpacing current
staffing capacity. To date in FY26, the branch needs over 600 hours of
outside coverage to meet minimum safety requirements (two-person
staffing). Adding this position will end the reliance on shared county staff
for basic operational coverage, facilitate a move to consistent Saturday

required two-person staffing during extended evening and Saturday hours,
address increased wait times for circulation, computer assistance, and

desk is wall-mounted and currently requires 2x4 wood blocks for support.
Replacing the desk with a standard pedestal-based unit will eliminate

Fund a part-time employee and operating costs to support dunn Branch
Library located at 110 e divine Street, dunn: Provide funding for a
part-time Library Assistant position (grade 13). This position is essential
to sustain mandatory safety protocols following a serious security incident
at the Dunn Branch. To meet the required two-person staffing minimum for
staff and patron protection, the position was permanently diverted from
the Main Branch, creating a critical staffing deficit. Funding this role will
maintain the two-person safety mandate during all operating hours without
compromising other locations, return essential support to the Main Branch,
which is currently operating with reduced flexibility and increased staff
burnout, and provide reliable frontline coverage for circulation and public
service, reducing the need for emergency reassignments and management
overtime.
Net Cost: $32,460.
Fund operating costs to support dunn Branch Library located at 110 e
divine Street, dunn: Provide funding for four laptops, peripherals (mice
and Microsoft software), and a dedicated charging station to support the
Digital Discovery Program, Digital Literacy Corner, and Book-a-Librarian
services. This investment will establish a permanent technology lab
at the Dunn Branch, moving away from the current inefficient model of
transporting equipment from the Main Branch. Since February 2025,
the Dunn Branch has hosted 35 technology-based programs serving 70
patrons, demonstrating a local need for digital support.
Net Cost: $6,269.

Fund a full-time employee and operating costs to support erwin Branch
Library located at 110 W F Street, erwin: Provide funding for a full-time
Library Assistant position (grade 13). The Erwin Public Library requires
a permanent staffing solution to resolve a recurring operational deficit.
In the past fiscal year, the branch relied on 175 hours of supplemental
coverage from the Main Library to maintain basic functions. This position
will eliminate the dependency on “borrowed” staff, restoring operational
flexibility to both the Erwin and Main branches, and provide dedicated
support for high-traffic areas, including circulation, public technology
assistance, and program preparation. The new position will also enable the
branch to move beyond basic oversight and begin expanding outreach and
community programming to meet rising demand.
Net Cost: $57,419.
Fund capital expenses to support erwin Branch Library located at 110
W F Street, erwin: Provide capital funding for interior upgrades, including
professional painting and the installation of commercial-grade flooring in
the program room, entryway, bathrooms, and main library areas. These
renovations are essential to address the natural deterioration caused by
years of high-volume public use. The existing flooring has reached the end
of its functional life, showing visible deterioration and staining. Current wall
surfaces are scuffed and faded. This investment ensures that the Erwin
Public Library remains a safe and inviting space for all residents.
Net Cost: $34,100.

management Program in coordination with Soil & Water conservation
located at 126 Alexander drive, Lillington: Provide funding to transition the
current $16,000 annual BMAP participation fee to a full-time Cooperative
Service Agreement with USDA APHIS to secure a dedicated, licensed
trapper for Harnett County. Dedicated beaver management is critical to
preventing flooding of structures, agricultural fields, working forests, and
public infrastructure. This is particularly vital given the county’s topography
along the Cape Fear River and increasing stormwater runoff from rapid
development and impervious surfaces. Citizen requests consistently
outpace the base $16,000 agreement, requiring supplemental funding for
the past three fiscal years. A full-time agreement eliminates the need for
shared services with other counties.
Net Cost: $66,313.

of Social Services - Adult medicaid located at 311 W cornelius Harnett
Boulevard, Lillington: Provide funding for an Income Maintenance III Lead
Worker position (grade 21) and operating expenses, such as a computer,
training and office supplies. The new position is needed to reduce a rising
error rate and manage a 16% workload increase by restoring effective
supervisory oversight. An additional Lead Worker is essential to meet
Federal and State timeliness mandates. This role will provide the capacity
for one-on-one consultations on high-risk cases and targeted training
for the 30% of staff with less than two years of experience. Adding this
position is a needed step toward bringing the Adult Medicaid unit back into
compliance. It ensures that staff receive necessary technical support while
protecting the county from the financial and operational risks associated
with rising error rates. This position is requested to begin 9/1/26. The
operating expenses are funded under the DSS-Administration division.
Net Cost: $53,223.

Fund two three-grade reclassifications to support Animal Field Services
located at 1100 mcKay Place, Lillington: Provide funding to reclassify two
Field Service Officers (grade 17) to a Senior Field Service Officers (grade 20).
These positions will serve as first-line supervisors, each leading a team of
two junior FSOs across assigned service zones. Investigation volume rose
from 2,862 in FY24 to 3,418 in FY25—a 17.7% year-over-year increase.
This growth has exceeded standard projections and necessitates a tiered
supervisory structure. It is currently impossible for a single Animal Services
Manager to provide a meaningful review of 3,400+ investigations and 400+
bite cases. Senior FSOs will prioritize calls based on public safety risks,
manage team records, and lead high-priority investigations.
Net Cost: $22,652.
Fund four two-grade reclassifications to support Animal Field Services
located at 1100 mcKay Place, Lillington: Provide funding to reclassify four
Field Service Officers positions from grade 17 to grade 19. This adjustment
aligns the role more closely with established public safety classifications.
The nature of the FSO role is inherently high-risk and requires alignment
with other public safety positions. Officers must routinely manage
aggressive or dangerous animals, utilize specialized equipment, and
deploy defensive weapons when necessary. Staff must make immediate,
independent judgment calls in the field that directly impact public safety
and the county’s legal liability. The current compensation lags behind the
market. Moving to grade 19 brings the starting salary closer to the regional
average and internal public safety benchmarks.
Net Cost: $22,135.

edwards Brothers drive, Lillington: Provide capital funding for replacement
of the County’s current Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) with federally
compliant, U.S.-manufactured platforms. This modernization is a proactive
measure to ensure the continuity of aerial intelligence capabilities as federal
restrictions tighten around foreign-manufactured technology (DJI). While
not yet grounded for all local tasks, these systems are becoming ineligible
for federally supported disaster missions and mutual aid deployments.
Recent federal import restrictions on parts, batteries, and equipment
threaten to render the current fleet inoperable soon. Without a transition
to U.S.-approved hardware, the county risks losing its autonomous aerial
capabilities during major disasters.

proprietary Flock Safety cameras at five locations throughout Harnett
County. These cellular-based cameras provide 24-hour surveillance in
areas where physical officer presence is either impractical or unavailable.
The system captures high-speed vehicle and registration data and provides
live-feed capabilities, offering critical leads for criminal investigations that
traditional methods may miss. This system creates a collaborative safety
network, allowing law enforcement to integrate footage from participating
private businesses and residential communities (with their consent) to
expand coverage without additional public infrastructure costs.
Net Cost: $72,000.

Fund capital expenses support the Sheriff’s office - emergency
communications located at 175 Bain Street, Lillington: Provide funding to
purchase four radio consolettes to enhance the Emergency Communications
Department’s backup infrastructure. This is the first phase of a multi-year
expansion to reach an operational requirement of 12 units. The dispatch
center currently relies on a primary microwave connection to the radio
tower. In the event of a failure or disconnection, a consolette provides a
redundant path directly to the VIPER tower network. Without these units,
a system failure could sever all radio contact between Telecommunicators
and field units. Consolettes ensure that public safety communications
remain active and uninterrupted during major system outages. The agency
manages multiple essential talk groups (Law Enforcement, Fire, EMS,
etc.). Currently, with only one consolette in operation, the center lacks the
capacity to maintain simultaneous communications for all disciplines if
the primary connection fails. These consolettes are a safeguard for the
County’s 911 operations.
Net Cost: $52,000.

difference between FY 2026 and FY 2027: The FY 2026 Original Budget
amount for contingency was $7,321,341. As funds have been moved out
of contingency into other departments, the Recommended Budget amount
has been reduced to reflect these transfers. If the FY 2027 approved amount
was compared with the original budget, the variance would be $968,655
and the percent decrease would be 13%.
contingency
Amounts are budgeted in contingency to avoid inflating department budgets for “what-if” situations. For example, in the past the Emergency Services
budget included $50,000 for a debris removal contract in case a natural disaster occurred requiring this service.

The FY 2027 budget includes funding for replacement vehicles at eight
various departments: As part of the vehicle renewal program, eight vehicles
from eight departments are recommended for replacement during FY 2027.
Monthly payments from departments will begin July 1 2027. Fiscal year
2027 departments include: Information Technology, Inspections, Library,
Facilities Maintenance, Department of Social Services, Tax, Development
Services, and Parks & Recreation. The vehicles selected are part of an aged
fleet, some with high miles, all past the powertrain warranty, which also
skews resale values when sold on GovDeals (online auction platform). The
replacement program has educated departments to monitor their fleet
vehicles and be aware of annual mileage targets (12,000 miles per year).
Also, selling vehicles at five years old with approximately 60,000 miles will
minimize repairs and maximize resale value which is put back into the Fleet
replacement fund.

HARNETT REGIONAL WATER
Capital Improvement Plan
2026-2027
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The capital improvement plan attached herewith is a working tool developed by the HRW staff to give guidance toward the
County’s water and sewer infrastructure development and capital needs program. 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.

Description of Existing Facilities. Harnett Regional Water provides water and/or wastewater services to approximately
120,000 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-three years since to approximately
44,000 water customers, 14,000 sewer customers and 120 employees. HRW infrastructure consists of approximately
1,490 miles of water mains, 420 miles of sewer collection mains and totals over $403 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 105 sewer lift stations. Approximately 95% of Harnett County
HCBOC 051826 Pg. 321
208 Harnett County, North Carolina | Recommended Budget 2026-2027
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 to
meet newly imposed EPA guidelines taking effect in 2029. It is estimated the WTP PFAS Improvements Project will cost
approximately $95 million dollars and begin in FY 2028. Due to the tremendous residential growth in the County, Harnett
Regional Water is also committed to building a new 10-15 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 $240 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 begun.
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 051826 Pg. 322
Harnett County, North Carolina | Recommended Budget 2026-2027 209 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 24 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 and
is still in the negotiating stages with the Town of Holly Springs. The Erwin St. Matthews Road Utility Extension Project is
currently underway and will make needed water and wastewater improvements in certain areas of the Town. This project
is estimated to cost $1.8 million dollars. Other planned water projects in Erwin include the Erwin Downtown Utility Project
which will connect several buildings in the downtown area to a different water transmission line to improve existing water
quality. This project is estimated to cost approximately $600,000 and should begin in FY 27. The Northwest Water
Rehabilitation Project consists of the rehabilitation and replacement of several thousand feet of water transmission mains
in the Northwest area of the County. This is needed due to the age of the existing infrastructure and the recurring leaks
caused by the pipe insufficiencies. This project is projected to begin in FY 28 and cost approximately $6 million dollars.

Regional Interconnects. 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 16.5 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 28. 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 $11.5
HCBOC 051826 Pg. 324
Harnett County, North Carolina | Recommended Budget 2026-2027 211 harnett regIonal Water - - 7
million dollars and construction should get underway in FY 27. The Buies Creek-Coats Collection System Upgrade is a
planned upgrade of the collection transmission system that transports the wastewater from this area of the County to the
North Harnett Wastewater Treatment Plant. This upgrade is needed to support additional growth in these areas including
the planned residential subdivisions located in the vicinity of these needed improvements This project is estimated to cost
approximately $11 million dollars and should begin in FY 28.
Regional Wastewater Facilities. 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.
HRW Operating Revenues
Financial Operating
Period Revenues
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
FY 23-24 $58,498,680
FY 24-25 $65,573,510
You can see from these figures that annual revenues increased by $31,126,979 in the last nine fiscal years. This
represents a 90% increase in annual operating revenues in that time span. Most 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
HCBOC 051826 Pg. 326
Harnett County, North Carolina | Recommended Budget 2026-2027 213 harnett regIonal Water - - 9
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.

218 About the capital Improvements Program (cIP) Harnett County, North Carolina | Recommended Budget 2026-2027
harnett countyAbout the capital Improvements Program (cIP)
The CIP is a long-term plan for funding the County’s major capital needs. 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 2027 .
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 October 25,2025.
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 December 1, 2025. During the December 9, 2025, work session, Commissioners reviewed the recommendation in
detail..
Public comment was held on December 15, 2025.
The CIP was adopted on January 5, 2026.
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.
Board of education
The Board of Education has requested approximately $549 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.

The CIP encompasses both high-level summaries of major projects, revenues, and operating expenses, and in-depth analyses of individual projects, including
justifications, detailed cost estimates, funding sources, and potential budgetary implications.
Assumptions
Generally, construction costs are inflated 6-10% 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 and the construction of a new animal shelter
and farmers market. 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 2024 Analysis of Debt report):
>The debt to appraised value ratio is 0.935%. The average ratio of counties 100,000 to 249,999 population is 0.943%. The highest ratio in the population
group is 1.510%.
HCBOC 051826 Pg. 335
222 Project evaluation and Prioritization criteria Harnett County, North Carolina | Recommended Budget 2026-2027
harnett county >Harnett County’s debt per capita (what each resident would owe if the debt had to be repaid today) is $1,028. The average debt per capita for the
population group is $1,038. The highest debt per capita in this group is $1,832.
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. The County should be judicious about issuing new debt and work closely with Harnett County Schools to identify top priorities for
funding.

The purpose of this project is to create and sustain a program that educates Harnett County taxpayers about available tax
relief options, including exemptions, deferments, and assistance programs. Many eligible taxpayers—such as seniors,
veterans, and low-income residents—remain unaware of these opportunities. By ensuring Harnett County citizens are
properly educated on property tax relief programs we hope to reduce the tax burden for vulnerable populations, help
improve financial stability for low-income residents and ensure equity in the property tax system. This action item also
strengthens community engagement and public trust.
