EXECUTIVE SUMMARY WILSON COUNTY SOUTHEAST WATER DISTRICT ASSET INVENTORY AND ASSESSMENT GRANT

SUMMARY OF WORK PERFORMED In May 2018, the County received a $60,000 grant for additional inventory and condition assessment work of the districts water system assets. This work included:

1. GPS Survey and Assessment of remaining System Assets. 2. Update of GIS Database to contain key information including but not limited to: a. Geographic Location (x,y.z (elevation)) b. Condition (Excellent, Good, Fair Poor, Very Poor) c. Size/Capacity d. Installation Date e. Operational Status 3. Total Assets: a. 332 Hydrants b. 27 Blowoff hydrants c. 1,715 meters d. 759 valves e. 3 Elevated Water Storage Tanks f. 1q Booster Pump Station g. 123 miles of water mains 4. Identification of components critical to the operation of the district. 5. Identification of needed Capital Improvement Projects. 6. Development of a 2-year Capital Budget including Capital Improvement Projects for a 10- year period.

CONCLUSIONS The initial inventory and assessment of the districts water system assets were completed in mid-2018; however, most, but not all the system assets were inventoried and assessed during this initial project.

Wilson County Government Page 3 June 7, 2021 7 Minutes Board of Commissioners June 7, 2021

In this project, all remaining system assets were inventoried and given condition assessments. In addition, the attributes provided in the GIS database were refined to display information more pertinent to the County’s needs. Now, the County will be able to keep track of all the current assets in their system in both a graphical and database format and will be able to update the condition of each asset including any of the other attricute information recorded.

The graphical nature of the information will be helpful to County Water Department staff to determine the size and location of existing infrastructure whereas the database features will permit quick recall of other key information that cannot be determined from the map.

The format of the GIS database provides for an easy way to add to, delete from, and to update the assets of the district’s water system. Should additional attribute fields be required this information can also be added to the database. The county will update the database as asset attributes change or as assets are added to or deleted from the system.

In addition to the completion of the system inventory and assessment, the current AIA grant permitted the County to identify needed Capital Improvement Projects and to develop cost estimates for these projects. From these CIP programs, a two-year Capital Budget was prepared listing all CIP Projects identified over a 10-year planning period with projects to be completed during years 1 & 2, 3-5 years, and years 6-10 of the planning periods. This Capital Budget will be reviewed yearly and adopted every two years and will form the basis of the project identification and prioritization of its existing Capital improvement Plan.

NEXT STEPS The goal of the County is to complete and implement a full Asset Management Plan for both Water Districts. This plan includes the following key components:

 Inventory of Assets  Condition Assessment  Capital improvement Plan with project Cost Estimates  Operations and Maintenance Plans

The first three (3) items of the plan for the Southeast District are complete; leaving only the preparation of an Operations and Maintenance Plan in order for the district to have a complete Asset Management Plan. The purpose of the Operations and Maintenance Plan will be to identify manufacturer’s recommendations and/or typical industry best management practices to ensure proper management of the assets. The district already has much of this information; however, now with a completed GIS data base, this information can be integrated into the database to make this information readily available and usable in the office as well as in the field.

ARTICLE XI. FUNDING AND REVIEW PROCESS & PROCEDURES

The Juvenile Crime Prevention Council conducts a Risk and Needs Assessment each year. Through the Risk and Needs Assessment, the JCPC determines the priority needs for funding. The JCPC will prioritize programs that serve as disposition, diversion, or prevention resources for delinquent, undisciplined, or at- risk youth. The JCPC will publicly advertise the availability of funds and request for proposals for the priority of services for a period of no less than 30 days.

A Funding and Review Subcommittee will be appointed from the JCPC Membership to screen and review all proposals submitted, interview prospective program managers or their representatives and recommend priorities for the funding of programs.

Recommendations for funding will be in agreement with the Wilson County Annual Plan and address or support the risk factors and the needed services identified. The funding recommendations will be submitted in writing to the JCPC, including rationale for why a program was or was not recommended for funding and the recommended funding level.

The entire membership will then vote on the recommendations by the sub-committee. After a consensus is obtained, without exception the JCPC Chairperson will make a report to the Board of County Commissioners, which has ultimate responsibility for approval.

Mileage – Patient loaded miles...... $12

*ALS Assessment – assessment performed by an ALS crew as part of an emergency response that is necessary because the beneficiary’s reported condition at the time of dispatch indicates only an ALS crew is qualified to perform the assessment. An ALS assessment does not necessarily result in a determination that the beneficiary requires an ALS level of transport. In the

45 case of an appropriately dispatched ALS emergency service, if the ALS crew completes an ALS assessment, the services provided by the ambulance transportation service provider or supplier are covered at the ALS emergency level, regardless of whether the beneficiary required ALS intervention services during the transport, provided the ambulance transportation itself was medically reasonable and necessary and all other coverage requirements are met.

**Advanced Life Support (ALS) intervention - a procedure that, in accordance with State and local laws, is required to be done by an Advanced EMT or a Paramedic. Application: An ALS intervention must be medically necessary to qualify as an intervention for payment for an ALS level of service.

55 5.A

Wilson County Government Board of Commissioners' Agenda Information Sheet Date: July 12, 2021

Item: Conduct a Public Hearing on July 12, 2021 (Z 2021-02) to consider rezoning land from AR to B2

Initiated By: Mark Johnson, Development Services Director

Action Proposed: Based on the facts, assessments, and recommendations stated in the Staff report, the recommendations of the Planning Board, and all other information presented to the Board, I move that the Board finds that the requested action is consistent with the Wilson County 2025 Comprehensive Plan and the Wilson County UDO; that the Board finds that the requested action is reasonable considering the factors enumerated in NCGS 160D-605(b); and that the Board of Commissioners does hereby APPROVE the application for amendment to the Official Zoning Map as submitted.

Description: Mr. Mark Johnson, Development Services Director, to present the Rezoning Request for Z 2021-02 for the Board's consideration.

STAFF REPORT Rezoning Z 2021-02

APPLICANT: Ralph T. Futrell & Leisa B. Futrell, property owners

REQUESTED ACTION: Approve the rezoning of a tract of land from AR (Agriculture Residential District– 40,000 sq. ft. minimum lot size) to B-2 (General Business District–10,000 sq. ft. minimum lot size).

LOCATION: The property is located at 7128 NC Hwy 581 in Spring Hill Township and is a portion of Wilson County Tax Parcel Identification Number 2668-82-5367.

DESCRIPTION SIZE/LOTS: Total acreage of area to be rezoned is 1.51 with 291.45 ft. of road frontage along NC Hwy 581.

EXISTING LAND USE/ZONING: This property is currently zoned AR (Agriculture Residential). The area to be rezoned appears to be vacant and in agricultural use.

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION: Sign was posted on the property on May 3, 2021. Notices were mailed to adjoining property owners on May 3, 2021, prior to the Planning Board meeting, and again on June 25, 2021. Public Notice was posted on Wilson County’s website on June 29, 2021. Public Notice was placed in the Wilson Times on June 29 and July 6, 2021.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: APPROVAL. See Staff Comments attached.

PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION: Planning Board voted unanimously to recommend APPROVAL at their regular May 19, 2021 meeting. The Planning Board finds that the proposed rezoning of property identified as a portion of Wilson County Tax Parcel Identification Number 2668-82-5367 from AR (Agriculture Residential District) to B-2 (General Business District) is generally consistent with the Wilson County 2025 Comprehensive Plan in that it is located in the Rural Growth Area identified in the Future Land Use/Growth Management Map of the Plan and that it promotes low density development that does not impose upon the rural nature of the area and that the district is intended to allow smaller scale uses that serve local residents.

STAFF COMMENTS Rezoning Z 2021-02 Property Owner: Ralph T. Futrell and Leisa B. Futrell

This is a General Use Rezoning Request to allow for all uses and special uses that are allowed in the B- 2 (General Business) zoning district.

Property owner plans to subdivide the 1.51 acres out upon approval of rezoning.

The B-2 district is established to accommodate smaller scale retail, office and service uses that serve an adjacent or nearby residential or rural/agricultural area. Development within this district is limited to those uses which directly provide necessary goods and services to local residents.

Dimensional Standards of B-2 Zoning Districts: Minimum Lot size = 10,000 sq. ft. Minimum Lot width = 75 ft. Minimum front setback = 30 ft. Minimum side setback = N/A Minimum rear setback = 20 ft. Maximum height = 35 ft. Corner Side = 20 ft.

“Spot Zoning” is the zoning of a relatively small tract of land differently from the surrounding area. “Spot Zoning” could be considered illegal unless the governmental unit established a reasonable basis for the spot zone. Factors for determining reasonableness include: Size of area and its particular characteristics Relation to the Wilson County Comprehensive Plan Degree of change in uses allowed

57 Relative harm and benefit to owner, neighbors, and the community

Contract zoning for a specific use is not an issue because this is a General Use Rezoning Request.

Surrounding zoning is AR (Agriculture Residential).

This property is not located in a County Watershed area.

This property is not within a special flood hazard area.

County water is available along NC HWY 581.

This property is located in the Southern Planning Area of Wilson County per the 2025 Comprehensive Plan

Located in the Rural Growth Area per Wilson County Future Land Use/Growth Management Map

This area represents regions that have significant natural resources, farmland, and scattered development. This region is expected to continue to have low density rural development in the future.

Development goals within the Rural Growth Area per 2025 Comprehensive Plan: Protect natural resources Promote residential development that maintains the rural nature of the area that is safe and attractive – meeting the needs of the population Promote low density rural residential and agricultural uses Continue to provide and improve parks and recreational resources

Comprehensive Plan Consistency Statement from Planning Staff The proposed amendment is generally consistent with the Comprehensive Plan in that it promotes low density development that does not impose upon the rural nature of the area. Furthermore, the B-2 district is intended to allow smaller scale uses that serve local residents in a nearby rural community.

61 Wilson County Board of Commissioners ZONING MAP AMENDMENT Case # Z 2021-02

BOARD CONSIDERATION WORKSHEET

From Section 3.2.1 (E)(4) of the Wilson County Unified Development Ordinance: Regardless of the final decision that is made on the application, the Board of Commissioners shall adopt a statement on the proposed amendment’s consistency with the Wilson County Comprehensive Plan and any other relevant plans having applicability to the proposed amendment. (NCGS 160D-605(a))

The Board shall also adopt a statement assessing the reasonableness of the action and demonstrating how the action furthers the public interest in accordance with NCGS 160D-605(b). When adopting or rejecting any petition for a zoning map amendment, a brief statement explaining the reasonableness of the proposed rezoning shall be approved by the governing board. In determining reasonableness, the Board of Commissioners may consider, among other factors: (i) the size, physical conditions, and other attributes of any area proposed to be rezoned; (ii) the benefits and detriments to the landowners, the neighbors, and the surrounding community; (iii) the relationship between the current actual and permissible development and the development permissible under the proposed amendment; (iv) why the action taken is in the public interest; and (v) any changed conditions warranting the amendment. If a zoning map amendment qualifies as a “large-scale rezoning” under NCGS 160D-602(b), the governing board statement on reasonableness may address the overall rezoning.

APPLICANT: Ralph T Futrell & Leisa B Futrell, property owners

PROPERTY LOCATION: 7128 NC Hwy 581 in Spring Hill Township

CURRENT ZONING: AR

PROPOSED ZONING: B-2

I. CONSISTENCY WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

Statement on plan consistency: The proposed rezoning of property identified as a portion of Wilson County Tax Parcel Identification Number 2668-82-5367 from AR (Agriculture Residential District) to B-2 (General Business District) is generally consistent with the Wilson County 2025 Comprehensive Plan in that it is located in the Rural Growth Area identified in the Future Land Use/Growth Management Map of the Plan and that it promotes low density development that does not impose upon the rural nature of the area and that the district is intended to allow smaller scale uses that serve local residents.

1 of 3 62 Planning Area of Wilson County: Southern

Future Land Use/Growth Management Designation: Rural Growth Area

 Development goals within this area:

o Protect natural resources o Promote residential development that maintains the rural nature of the area that is safe and attractive – meeting the needs of the population o Promote low density rural residential and agricultural uses o Continue to provide and improve parks and recreational resource

[X] The amendment is consistent with the Wilson County 2025 Comprehensive Plan. [ ] The amendment is not consistent with the Wilson County 2025 Comprehensive Plan.

II. ASSESSMENT OF REASONABLENESS & PUBLIC INTEREST

Statement on reasonableness and public interest: The rezoning request is reasonable in that the proposed area to be rezoned consists of 1.51 acres, having 291 linear feet of road frontage along NC Highway 581, and the B-2 Zoning District requires a minimum of only 10,000 square feet, with a frontage of 75 feet. The proposed area to be rezoned exceeds the minimum required area of the B-2 Zoning District by 6.5 times. The proposed rezoning area also has 4 times the required road frontage.

The rezoning request is in the public interest in that the closest commercially zoned property to the proposed location is just under one mile, at the Hwy 301 intersection. This rezoning will give the citizens in the local area access to commercial goods. The Wilson County UDO describes the B-2 Zoning District as follows: This district is established to accommodate smaller scale retail, office and service uses that serve an adjacent or nearby residential or rural/agricultural area. Development within this district is limited to those uses which directly provide necessary goods and services to local residents.

III. ADOPTED STATEMENTS BY THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

The Wilson County Board of Commissioners adopts the following statement on plan consistency:

2 of 3 63 The Wilson County Board of Commissioners adopts the following statement on the reasonableness of the action and how the action furthers the public interest of Wilson County:

67 RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF THE COUNTY OF WILSON, NORTH CAROLINA AUTHORIZING THE NEGOTIATION OF A INSTALLMENT FINANCING CONTRACT AND PROVIDING FOR CERTAIN OTHER RELATED MATTERS THERETO

WHEREAS, the County of Wilson, North Carolina (the “County”) is a validly existing political subdivision existing as such under and by virtue of the Constitution, statutes, and laws of the State of North Carolina (the “State”);

WHEREAS, the County has the power, pursuant to the General Statutes of North Carolina to (1) purchase real and personal property, (2) enter into installment purchase contracts in order to finance or refinance the purchase of real and personal property used, or to be used, for public purposes, and (3) grant a security interest in some or all of the property purchased to secure repayment of the purchase price;

WHEREAS, the County staff has retained (1) Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein LLP, as special counsel (“Special Counsel”) and (2) Davenport and Company LLC, as financial advisor (the “Financial Advisor”), in connection with an installment financing;

WHEREAS, the County staff, with the assistance of Special Counsel and the Financial Advisor, has solicited proposals from financial institutions and recommends selecting Truist Bank (the “Lender”);

WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners hereby determines that it is in the best interest of the County to (1) enter into an Installment Financing Contract (the “Contract”) with the Lender in order to pay the capital costs of (a) the construction, acquisition and equipping of the new Wilson Academy of Applied Technology (High School/Early College) (the “WAAT Academy”) and (b) the construction, acquisition and equipping of improvements to Lee Woodard Elementary School and Barnes Elementary School (collectively, the “Project”)and (2) to enter into a deed of trust and security agreement (the “Deed of Trust”) related to the County’s fee simple interest in the real property on which the WAAT Academy will be located (the “Site”) that will provide security for the County’s obligations under the Contract;

WHEREAS, the County hereby determines that the acquisition of the Project is essential to the County’s proper, efficient, and economic operation and to the general health and welfare of its inhabitants; that the Project is providing an essential use and permits the County to carry out public functions that it is authorized by law to perform; and that entering into the Contract and Deed of Trust is necessary and expedient for the County by virtue of the findings presented herein;

WHEREAS, the County hereby determines that the Contract allows the County to finance the Project at a favorable interest rate currently available in the financial marketplace and on terms advantageous to the County;

WHEREAS, the County hereby determines that the estimated cost of financing the Project is an aggregate amount not to exceed $13,000,000 and that such cost of financing exceeds the amount that can be prudently raised from currently available appropriations, unappropriated fund balances and non-voted bonds that could be issued by the County in the current fiscal year pursuant to Article V, Section 4 of the Constitution of the State;

68 WHEREAS, the County hereby determines that the cost of financing the Project pursuant to the Contract and the Deed of Trust and the obligations of the County thereunder are preferable to a general obligation bond financing or revenue bond financing for several reasons, including but not limited to the following: (1) the cost of a special election necessary to approve a general obligation bond financing, as required by the laws of the State, would result in the expenditure of significant funds; (2) the time required for a general obligation bond election would cause an unnecessary delay which would thereby decrease the financial benefits of financing the Project; and (3) insufficient revenues are produced by the Project so as to permit a revenue bond financing;

WHEREAS, the County hereby determines that the estimated cost of financing the Project pursuant to the Contract reasonably compares with an estimate of similar costs under a bond financing for the same undertaking as a result of the findings delineated in the above preambles;

WHEREAS, the County does not anticipate any excessive future property tax increase to pay installment payments falling due under the Contract;

WHEREAS, Special Counsel will render an opinion to the effect that entering into the Contract and the transactions contemplated thereby are authorized by law;

WHEREAS, no deficiency judgment may be rendered against the County in any action for its breach of the Contract, and the taxing power of the County is not and may not be pledged in any way directly or indirectly or contingently to secure any moneys due under the Contract;

WHEREAS, the County is not in default under any of its debt service obligations;

WHEREAS, the County’s budget process and Annual Budget Ordinance are in compliance with the Local Government Budget and Fiscal Control Act, and external auditors have determined that the County has conformed with generally accepted accounting principles as applied to governmental units in preparing its Annual Budget ordinance;

WHEREAS, past audit reports of the County indicate that its debt management and contract obligation payment policies have been carried out in strict compliance with the law, and the County has not been censured by the North Carolina Local Government Commission (the “LGC”), external auditors or any other regulatory agencies in connection with such debt management and contract obligation payment policies; and

WHEREAS, the County hereby determines that all findings, conclusions, and determinations of the County in this Resolution are subject to modification or affirmation after all interested parties have been afforded the opportunity to present their comments at a public hearing regarding the execution and delivery of the Contract, the Deed of Trust, and the projects to be refinanced thereby.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF THE COUNTY OF WILSON, NORTH CAROLINA, AS FOLLOWS:

July 12, 2021

Recommendation Based upon our review of the proposals, related analyses, and discussions with County Staff and Bond Counsel, Davenport recommends that the County select the Truist proposal (Prepayment Option 2: Non-callable for the first half of the term and callable at par thereafter). The Truist proposal provides the lowest debt service over the life of the loan, prepayment flexibility during the second half of the term and more flexible Real Estate requirements to facilitate closing on the loan in a timely manner.

Next Steps

July 12th County Board Meeting – County Board holds Public Hearing and adopts a Findings Resolution.

July 19th County Board of Education Meeting – Board of Education considers approval of Lease and Agency Agreement.

August 2nd County Board Meeting – County Board considers adopting a Final Resolution.

August 3rd LGC approves financing.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has clarified that a broker, dealer or municipal securities dealer engaging in municipal advisory activities outside the scope of underwriting a particular issuance of municipal securities should be subject to municipal advisor registration. Davenport & Company LLC (“Davenport”) has registered as a municipal advisor with the SEC. As a registered municipal advisor Davenport may provide advice to a municipal entity or obligated person. An obligated person is an entity other than a municipal entity, such as a not for profit corporation, that has commenced an application or negotiation with an entity to issue municipal securities on its behalf and for which it will provide support. If and when an issuer engages Davenport to provide financial advisory or consultant services with respect to the issuance of municipal securities, Davenport is obligated to evidence such a financial advisory relationship with a written agreement.

STAFF COMMENTS Rezoning Z 2021-03 Property owner: Thomas L. Davis and Marcy Davis Beamon

This is a General Use Rezoning Request to allow for all uses and special uses that are allowed in the B- 1 (Highway Business) zoning district.

Note: The previous rezoning request for this property (Z 2021-01) was withdrawn by the applicant on April 21, 2021.

The B-1 district is established to accommodate commercial development that serves regional customers in locations that are served by primary roadways.

Dimensional Standards of B-1 Zoning Districts: Minimum Lot size = 10,000 sq. ft. Minimum Lot width = 75 ft. Minimum front setback = 30 ft. Minimum side setback = N/A Minimum rear setback = 20 ft. Maximum height = 35 ft. Corner Side = 20 ft.

Contract zoning for a specific use is not an issue because this is a General Use Rezoning Request.

Surrounding zoning is AR (Agriculture Residential).

This property is not located in a County Watershed area.

This property is not within a special flood hazard area.

County water is available along Gardners School Rd.

88 This property is located in the Eastern Planning Area of Wilson County per the 2025 Comprehensive Plan

Located in the Rural Growth Area per Wilson County Future Land Use/Growth Management Map This area represents regions that have significant natural resources, farmland, and scattered development. This region is expected to continue to have low density rural development in the future.

Comprehensive Plan Consistency Statement from Planning Staff

The proposed amendment is generally consistent with the Comprehensive Plan in that it promotes low density development that does not impose upon the rural nature of the area.

BOARD CONSIDERATION WORKSHEET

APPLICANT: Thomas L. Davis and Marcy Davis Beamon, property owners

PROPERTY LOCATION: 7022 Gardners School Rd (SR 1507) in Gardners Township

TAX PARCEL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: a portion of 3760-06-0407

CURRENT ZONING: AR

PROPOSED ZONING: B-1

I. CONSISTENCY WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

Statement on plan consistency: The Planning Board finds that the action proposed is

generally consistent with the Wilson County 2025 Comprehensive Plan in that it is located in

the Rural Growth Area and promotes low density development that does not impose upon the

rural nature of the area.

1 of 3 90 Planning Area of Wilson County: Eastern

Future Land Use/Growth Management Designation: Rural Growth Area

 Development goals within this area:

[X] The amendment is consistent with the Wilson County 2025 Comprehensive Plan. [ ] The amendment is not consistent with the Wilson County 2025 Comprehensive Plan.

II. ASSESSMENT OF REASONABLENESS & PUBLIC INTEREST

Statement on reasonableness and public interest: The rezoning request is reasonable in that the proposed area to be rezoned consists of 13.98 acres, having 373.27 linear feet of road frontage along Gardners School Rd (SR 1507); and the B-1 Zoning District requires a minimum of only 10,000 square feet, with a minimum road frontage of only 75 feet. The proposed area to be rezoned exceeds the minimum required area of the B-1 Zoning District by more than 66 times that which is required. The proposed rezoning area also has just under 5 times the required road frontage.

The rezoning request serves the public interest in that the closest commercially zoned property to the proposed location is over three miles away at the intersection of Tartts Mill Road and US Hwy 264 Alternate. This rezoning will give Wilson County citizens access to commercial goods and services in the “Eastern Planning Area” of Wilson County. The “Eastern Planning Area” is geographically the largest planning area in Wilson County, containing approximately 83,428 acres and having only 1.5 percent (1,211 acres) in commercial use per Table 11.4 of the Wilson County 2025 Comprehensive Plan. The Wilson County UDO, in part, describes the B-1 Zoning District as follows: “destination type retail establishments and other uses that serve regional or transient customers.”

The Wilson County Board of Commissioners adopts the following statement on plan consistency:

The Wilson County Board of Commissioners adopts the following statement on the reasonableness of the action and how the action furthers the public interest of Wilson County:

IV. DECISION The Wilson County Board of Commissioners takes the following action: (See Section 3.2.1 (E)(4))

Wilson County Commissioners and Board of Health Annual Report

I. Introduction

In 1993, the North Carolina General Assembly established a network of local Child Fatality Prevention Teams (CFPT’s) across the state to confidentially review medical examiner reports, death certificates and other records of deceased residents under age 18. Each local team consists of representatives of public and nonpublic agencies in the community such as law enforcement, Guardian Ad Litem, health departments, among others, that provide services to children and their families.

The purpose of this report is to give a summary of the causes of death, the number of cases reviewed, recommendations for prevention, if any, that have been made and to share local team activities and accomplishments.

II. Role of the County Commissioners and Board of Health

• Receive annual reports which contain recommendations and advocate for system improvements and needed resources, if requested. • Appoint members of the local team as identified by the membership.

III. Child Deaths by Cause, System Problems Identified, Recommendations for Prevention & Proposed Action

In 2020, the Wilson County CFPT reviewed 7 child deaths and identified 1 system problem. There was a total of 12 deaths, but due to Covid the 4th quarter cases were not received in time. One of the cases that was in the county court system in 2019 for a 2018 death was reviewed in 2020, also.

The primary goal of the Citizen Participation Plan is to provide citizens, especially low and moderate income citizens of the community where CDBG-funded activities will take place, an opportunity to participate in an advisory role in the planning, implementation, and assessment of the programs and projects.

The Citizen Participation Plan is required by Section 104(a)(2) of the Housing and Community Development Act and by regulations at 24 CFR 570.486(a)(6).

The plan is vitally important to the success of CDBG-funded activities undertaken by local governments. Compliance with the plan reduces the number of legal challenges and citizen complaints against the local government recipient.

1. INTRODUCTION

Wilson County has designed this community-wide Citizen Participation Plan to provide for and encourage citizen participation in the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. This Plan is an essential element of the County’s present and future community development process and has been developed to comply with the regulations and requirements of the CDBG program as administered by the North Carolina Department of Commerce – Rural Economic Development Division (REDD) and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (DHUD).

The primary goal of this Citizen Participation Plan is to provide all citizens of the community with adequate opportunity to participate in an advisory role in the planning, implementation, and assessment of the County’s CDBG program(s). The Plan sets forth policies and procedures for citizen participation, which are designed to maximize the opportunity for citizen participation in the community development process. Special emphasis has been placed on encouraging participation by persons of low and moderate incomes, residents of blighted neighborhoods, and residents of areas where community development funds are utilized.

Citizens are encouraged to participate in all phases of the CDBG program(s) and will be provided full access to program information. However, final responsibility and authority for the development and implementation of CDBG program(s) will lie with the County.

CDBG-CV.P.05 Page 1 of 8 7/2021 129 2. SCOPE OF PARTICIPATION

The County will make reasonable efforts to provide for citizen participation during the community development process and throughout the planning, implementation, and assessment of all CDBG program(s) undertaken by the County. Local officials will make every effort to involve citizens in all phases of the development, implementation, and assessment of community development programs including, but not limited to, the following phases:

a. identification and assessment of housing and community development needs; determination of CDBG project(s) and documentation; and the development of CDBG application(s); b. changes and/or amendments to approved CDBG projects; and c. assessment of CDBG program performance.

All phases of the community development process will be conducted by local officials in an open manner. Citizens of the County are encouraged to participate at all levels and will be given access to program information during each phase of any CDBG program as outlined herein.

3. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION CONTACT PERSON

Ron Hunt, Assistant County Manager, has been designated Citizen Participation Coordinator by the Wilson County Board of Commissioners and will serve as the contact person for all matters concerning citizen participation activities. This person shall be responsible for overseeing citizen participation throughout the community development process and the implementation of all citizen participation activities and functions, except those which may be specifically delegated to other parties by this Plan.

The specific duties and responsibilities of the Citizen Participation Coordinator shall include, but not necessarily be limited to: disseminating information concerning proposed projects and the status of current project activities; coordinating various groups which may be participating in the community development process; receiving written comments; serving as a vehicle by which ideas, comments, and proposals from local residents may be transmitted to local officials and/or program staff; and monitoring the citizen participation process and proposing such amendments to the Citizen Participation Plan as may be necessary.

The Citizen Participation Coordinator may be contacted at the Wilson County Office Building, 2201 Miller Road South, Wilson, NC, at (252) 399-2803 during regular business hours. All questions concerning citizen participation in the community development process should be addressed to the Citizen Participation Coordinator.

4. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE

The Wilson County staff shall provide technical assistance to individual citizens and citizen groups, especially those groups representative of persons of low or moderate income, as may be required to adequately provide for citizen participation in the planning, implementation, and assessment of CDBG program(s).

Such technical assistance is intended to increase citizen participation in the community development decision making process and to ensure that such participation is meaningful. Technical assistance shall also be utilized to foster public understanding of CDBG program requirements.

CDBG-CV.P.05 Page 2 of 8 7/2021 130

Technical assistance shall be provided on request and may include, but not necessarily be limited to: interpreting the CDBG program and its rules, regulations, procedures and/or requirements; providing information and/or materials concerning the CDBG program; and assisting low and moderate income citizens and residents of blighted neighborhoods to develop statements of views, identify their needs, and develop activities and proposals for projects which, when implemented, will resolve those needs.

Technical assistance may be obtained by contacting the Citizen Participation Coordinator.

5. PUBLIC HEARINGS

Citizen participation in the community development process will be conducted on a community-wide basis and will actively involve the views and proposals of all citizens, especially low and moderate income persons and residents of areas where CDBG activities are proposed or ongoing.

Public hearings will be held during all phases of the community development process, as outlined herein, to allow citizens to voice opinions and offer proposals concerning the development and performance of CDBG programs. Local officials will respond to questions and proposals from citizens at each public hearing. Any questions that citizens may have concerning a program will be answered and their comments, suggestions, and/or proposals will be received. Citizens may also express comments and views concerning the community development process or any specific CDBG project to the governing body at any regularly scheduled meeting.

5.1 Public Hearing Times and Locations

NOTE: Due to social distancing guidelines during the COVID-19 pandemic, in-person attendance at public hearings and Board of Commissioners meetings may be limited. Citizens are urged to follow the guidelines as posted on the County’s website as well as in published notices for attendance instructions – whether in-person or through virtual media.

All public hearings will be held at times and locations which will be accessible to all citizens, especially persons of low and moderate incomes, and residents of blighted neighborhoods and CDBG project areas.

Public hearings will be scheduled for convenient times as determined by the County. Public hearings may be held at any site which, in the opinion of the County, provides adequate access for citizen participation.

Hearings will normally be held in the Commissioners’ Meeting Room, Miller Road Office Building, 2201 Miller Road South, Wilson, NC. This site is centrally located and generally accessible to all citizens. This building is also accessible to persons with disabilities. Hearings may, however, at the option of the County, be held at an alternate location to be specified in the public hearing notice(s).

CDBG-CV.P.05 Page 3 of 8 7/2021 131 5.2 Application Public Hearings

One public hearing shall be held during any CDBG program fiscal year prior to the submission of an application to the REDD for CDBG assistance. The primary purposes of the public hearing shall be to assess community needs and problems in an effort to determine the most critical needs to be addressed by the CDBG program and to present for public comment and review the program activities which have been selected by the County to resolve the identified needs.

An application public hearing will be held during the initial stage of program development to discuss items regarding community development and housing needs, the CDBG program, and the application process. The objective of citizen participation at this stage is to provide meaningful, community-wide citizen input into the decision-making process during the assessment of community needs and the consideration of priorities and options associated with the development and submission of a CDBG application. Local officials will also entertain proposals and comments from citizens concerning community development activities at this hearing.

This hearing will normally serve to discuss and review the information appropriate for all applications submitted by the County during any fiscal year. Additional changes in community development or housing needs in the community as determined by local officials can be addressed by a community meeting where citizens can share their comments prior to the submission of other CDBG applications late in the fiscal year.

Citizens will be provided with information concerning the CDBG program at this public hearing. Such information shall include, but not necessarily be limited to: the goals and objectives of the CDBG program; the total amount of CDBG funds available for the fiscal year and for the funding round; the role of citizens in program planning, implementation, and assessment; the range of activities which may be undertaken; the process to be followed in developing a CDBG application; a statement that 100 percent of the CDBG funds will be used to benefit low-to- moderate income people; the schedule of meetings and hearings; location where the application can be reviewed; activities previously funded in the County through the CDBG program; an identification of projects which could result in the relocation of area residences or businesses and the actions that would be undertaken if such relocation were necessary; and provision of contact information such as address, telephone number, and dates for submitting complaints or grievances by citizens. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the Citizen Participation Plan in allowing citizen participation in the community development process and potential changes and/or amendments to the Plan shall also be discussed at this meeting.

The County may, at the option of local officials, review multiple CDBG project applications at one hearing when more than one application is to be submitted during the same fiscal year. Each such hearing shall be held prior to, and in preparation for, the application’s approval by the County.

A second objective of citizen participation during this stage is to inform citizens of the proposed project activities to be included in a CDBG application(s) and to solicit comments from citizens concerning these activities.

Citizens attending this hearing will be provided with information concerning the CDBG project(s) proposed including, but not necessarily limited to: the project application(s) to be submitted and the applicable CDBG fund; specific project activities to be included; the location of the project activities; the approximate cost estimate for the

CDBG-CV.P.05 Page 4 of 8 7/2021 132 proposed activities; the estimate of local match required; the impact of the project on low and moderate income persons; and the approximate application submittal date.

5.3 Amendment Public Hearings

The County will assure the opportunity for citizen participation during the implementation of any CDBG program(s) when changes to the project are under consideration by the County. Citizen participation shall be obtained and considered in any amendments to a CDBG program which involves changes in dollar amount spent on any activity, changes in program beneficiaries, changes in the location of approved activities, addition to or deletion of project activities, and major budget shifts between approved activities.

To ensure adequate opportunity for citizen participation during CDBG programs, the County shall hold a public hearing on all formal amendments which require the REDD approval. For “local” amendments and changes for which the REDD approval is not required, input from citizens concerning changes or amendments will be received at regularly scheduled County meetings where such changes or amendments are considered.

5.4 Assessment of Performance Public Hearings

Citizens of the County will be provided with the opportunity to comment on the performance of local officials, the County staff, consultants, engineers, and contractors, and the actual use of CDBG funds during the implementation of a CDBG program. Citizens will also be requested to assess the performance of the County in resolving identified community development and housing needs and in achieving its community development goals and objectives. Ongoing community assessment of the effectiveness of the community development process is considered essential to the success of the CDBG program.

At the conclusion of each CDBG project, a public hearing will be held to review program activities and to assess program performance. This hearing shall be held prior to the submission of the Performance Assessment Report and any other required closeout documents to the REDD for a CDBG project. This hearing will be used to ensure community-wide participation in the evaluation of the CDBG program.

5.5 Additional Hearings

Other public hearings may be held as deemed necessary by the County in order to inform citizens of community development project(s) and activities, and to solicit citizen opinions and comments. All additional hearings shall comply with the requirements set forth in this Plan.

5.6 Limited English Proficiency Residents

The County has followed the guidance provided in the Language Access Plan to determine the need to undertake reasonable actions to facilitate the participation of persons with Limited English Proficiency. Local officials will undertake all reasonable actions necessary to allow such persons to participate in the community development process. Such actions may include the provision of an interpreter and/or the provision of materials in the appropriate language or format for persons with Limited English Proficiency.

CDBG-CV.P.05 Page 5 of 8 7/2021 133 5.7 Public Hearing Notice

Notice of public hearings must be published in a local newspaper of general circulation in a non-legal section of the paper at least ten (10) days prior to the hearing date but no more than 25 days prior to the meeting date. Each notice of a hearing shall include the time, date, place, and topics and procedures to be discussed.

5.8 Accessibility to Low and Moderate Income Persons

The public hearing procedures outlined herein are designed to promote participation by low and moderate income citizens as well as residents of blighted neighborhoods and CDBG project areas in any public hearing(s). Local officials may take additional steps to further promote participation by such groups or to target program information to these persons should officials feel that such persons may otherwise be excluded or should additional action be deemed necessary. Activities to promote additional participation may include: posting of notices in blighted neighborhoods and in places frequented by low and moderate income persons, and holding public hearings in low and moderate income neighborhoods or areas of existing or proposed CDBG project activities.

5.9 Accessibility to Persons with Disabilities

The locations of all public hearings as described herein shall be made accessible to persons with disabilities. The County shall provide a sign language interpreter whenever the Citizen Participation Coordinator is notified in advance that one or more deaf persons will be in attendance. The County shall provide a qualified reader whenever the Citizen Participation Coordinator is notified in advance that one or more visually impaired persons will be in attendance. Additionally, the County shall provide reasonable accommodations whenever the Citizen Participation Coordinator is notified in advance that one or more persons with mobility or developmental disabilities will be in attendance.

6. PROGRAM INFORMATION

Citizens will be provided full access to CDBG program information during all phases of a CDBG project. Local officials of the County shall make reasonable effort to assure that CDBG program information is available to all citizens, especially those of low and moderate incomes and those residing in blighted or Limited English Proficiency neighborhoods and/or CDBG project areas.

To facilitate citizen access to CDBG program information, the Citizen Participation Coordinator will keep all documents related to a CDBG program on file in the Miller Road Office Building, 2201 Miller Road South, Wilson, NC. Information from the project files shall be made available for examination and duplication, on request, during regular business hours. CDBG program information and materials concerning specific CDBG projects will be available and distributed to the public at the regularly scheduled public hearings as outlined in this Plan. Furthermore, information concerning any CDBG project will be available at regularly scheduled Board of Commissioners meetings where the program is discussed.

Materials to be made available shall include, but are not necessarily limited to: the Citizen Participation Plan; records of public hearing; mailings and promotional materials; prior CDBG program applications; letters of approval;

CDBG-CV.P.05 Page 6 of 8 7/2021 134 grant agreements; the environmental review record; financial and procurement records; project design and construction specifications; labor standards materials; performance and evaluation reports; other reports required by the REDD and/or the DHUD; proposed and approved CDBG program application(s) for the current year or project; written comments or complaints received concerning the community development program and written responses from the County; and copies of the applicable Federal and State rules, regulations, policies, requirements and procedures governing the CDBG program.

In no case shall the County disclose any information concerning the financial status of any program participant(s) which may be required to document program eligibility or benefit. Furthermore, the County shall not disclose any information which may, in the opinion of the Chairman of the Wilson County Board of Commissioners, be deemed of a confidential nature.

7. PROCEDURES FOR COMMENTS, OBJECTIONS AND COMPLAINTS

The public hearings scheduled, as described in this Citizen Participation Plan, are designed to facilitate public participation in all phases of the community development process. Citizens are encouraged to submit their views and proposals on all aspects of a community development program at the public hearings. However, to ensure that citizens are given the opportunity to assess and comment on all aspects of the community development program on a continuous basis, citizens may, at any time, submit written comments or complaints to the County.

Any citizen or citizens’ group desiring to comment or object to any phase of the planning, development or approval of the application for CDBG funds, or to the implementation of any CDBG program, should submit such comments or objections in writing to the Chairman of the Wilson County Board of Commissioners. Should, after a reasonable period, a party believe that his/her comment or complaint has not been properly addressed or considered by the Chairman of the Board of Commissioners, then the aggrieved party may appeal his/her case to REDD.

Local officials shall make every effort to provide written responses to citizen proposals or complaints within fifteen (15) working days of the receipt of such comments or complaints where practicable. Should the County be unable to sufficiently resolve an objection or complaint, it may be forwarded by the aggrieved party to the REDD.

Citizens may, at any time, contact the REDD and/or the DHUD directly to register comments, objections, or complaints concerning the County’s CDBG application(s) and/or program(s). Citizens are encouraged, however, to attempt to resolve any complaints at the local level as outlined above prior to contacting the REDD or the DHUD.

All comments or complaints submitted to the REDD or the DHUD shall be addressed in writing to:

NC Department of Commerce Rural Economic Development Division 4346 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-4346

Or:

CDBG-CV.P.05 Page 7 of 8 7/2021 135 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Planning and Development Division Greensboro Field Office 1500 Pinecroft Road Greensboro, NC 27407

Records of all comments, objections and/or complaints by citizens concerning the County’s CDBG program and subsequent action taken in response to those comments shall be maintained on file at the County and shall be made available for public inspection upon request.

8. AMENDMENTS

The County may, from time to time, modify the provisions outlined herein through amendment to this Citizen Participation Plan. It shall be the policy of the County to periodically review and discuss the effectiveness of this Citizen Participation Plan in allowing citizen participation in the community development process and in helping to meet the community development needs and goals identified by the citizens of the County. To this end, the effectiveness of the Plan will be discussed at public hearings held in conjunction with the community development program as discussed herein and potential amendments to the Plan will be reviewed at this time.

Amendments to the Plan will be made as necessary. All amendments shall be approved by resolution of the County and shall be incorporated into this Plan.

9. AUTHORITY

No portion of this Citizen Participation Plan shall be construed to restrict the responsibility and authority of the elected officials of the County in the development, implementation, and execution of any Community Development Block Grant program.

CDBG-CV.P.05 Page 8 of 8 7/2021 136 WILSON COUNTY CDBG CORONAVIRUS (CDBG-CV) PROGRAM Residential Anti-Displacement and Relocation Assistance Plan

This Residential Anti-displacement and Relocation Assistance Plan is prepared by Wilson County, North Carolina, in accordance with the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended (the “Act”); and HUD regulations at 24 CFR 42.325.

A. Minimize Displacement

Consistent with the goals and objectives of activities assisted under the Act, Wilson County will take the following steps to minimize the direct and indirect displacement of persons from their homes:

• Coordinate code enforcement with rehabilitation and housing assistance programs.

• Arrange for facilities to house persons who must be relocated temporarily during rehabilitation.

• Where feasible, give priority to rehabilitation of housing, as opposed to demolition, to avoid displacement.

• If feasible, demolish or convert only dwelling units that are not occupied or vacant occupiable dwelling units (especially those units which are “lower-income dwelling units” (as defined in 24 CFR 42.305).

• Target only those properties deemed essential to the need or success of the project.

• Attempt to locate comparable replacement housing in or near the neighborhood where demolition activities occur to further minimize neighborhood disruption caused by the clearance activities.

• Avoid demolition of occupied severely deteriorated residential structures where possible through substantial rehabilitation as opposed to clearance.

• Rehabilitate vacant, occupiable residential structures as affordable housing for displaced tenants to minimize neighborhood disruption caused by clearance activities.

B. Relocation Assistance to Displaced Persons

The County will provide relocation assistance for lower-income tenants who, in connection with an activity assisted under this Program, move permanently or move personal property from real property as a direct result of the demolition of any dwelling unit or the conversion of a lower-income dwelling unit in accordance with the requirements of 24 CFR 42.350. A displaced person who is not a lower-income tenant, will be provided relocation assistance in accordance with the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended, and implementing regulations at 49 CFR Part 24.

CDBG-CV.P.06 Page 1 of 3 7/2021 137 C. One-for-One Replacement of Lower-Income Dwelling Units

The County will replace all occupied and vacant occupiable lower-income dwelling units demolished or converted to a use other than lower-income housing in connection with a project assisted with funds provided under this Program in accordance with 24 CFR 42.375.

Before entering into a contract committing Wilson County to provide funds for a project that will directly result in demolition or conversion of lower-income dwelling units, the County will make public by publishing notice in The Daily Times newspaper, and submit to the North Carolina Rural Economic Development Division (REDD) the following information in writing:

1. A description of the proposed assisted project;

2. The address, number of bedrooms, and location on a map of lower-income dwelling units that will be demolished or converted to a use other than as lower- income dwelling units as a result of an assisted project;

3. A time schedule for the commencement and completion of the demolition or conversion;

4. To the extent known, the address, number of lower-income dwelling units by size (number of bedrooms) and location on a map of the replacement lower-income housing that has been or will be provided. NOTE: See D, below.

5. The source of funding and a time schedule for the provision of the replacement dwelling units;

6. The basis for concluding that each replacement dwelling unit will remain a lower-income dwelling unit for at least 10 years from the date of initial occupancy; and

7. Information demonstrating that any proposed replacement of lower-income dwelling units with smaller dwelling units (e.g., a 2-bedroom unit with two 1-bedroom units), or any proposed replacement of efficiency or single-room occupancy (SRO) units with units of a different size, is appropriate and consistent with the housing needs and priorities identified in 24 CFR 42.375(b).

To the extent that the specific location of the replacement dwelling units and other data in items 4 through 7 are not available at the time of the general submission, the County will identify the general location of such dwelling units on a map and complete the disclosure and submission requirements as soon as the specific data is available.

D. Replacement not Required Based on Unit Availability

Under 24 CFR 42.375(d), the County may submit a request to the State (REDD) for a determination that the one- for-one replacement requirement does not apply based on objective data that there is an adequate supply of

CDBG-CV.P.06 Page 2 of 3 7/2021 138 vacant lower-income dwelling units in standard condition available on a non-discriminatory basis within the area.

E. Contacts

The County Manager’s Office (252) 399-2803 is responsible for tracking the replacement of lower income dwelling units and ensuring that they are provided within the required period. The County Manager’s Office (252) 399-2803 is responsible for ensuring that relocation payments and other relocation assistance to any lower-income person displaced by the demolition of any dwelling unit or the conversion of lower-income dwelling units to another use are provided.

The purpose of this Policy and Plan is to ensure compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and other applicable federal and state laws and their implementing regulations with respect to persons with limited English proficiency (LEP). Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination based on the ground of race, color, or national origin by any entity receiving federal financial assistance. Administrative methods or procedures, which have the effect of subjecting individuals to discrimination or defeating the objectives of these regulations, are prohibited.

POLICY:

In order to avoid discrimination on the grounds of national origin, all programs or activities administered by Wilson County will take reasonable steps to ensure that persons with Limited English Proficiency (LEP) have meaningful access and an equal opportunity to participate in benefits and services for which such persons qualify. This Policy defines the responsibilities the agency has to ensure LEP individuals can communicate effectively.

DEFINITIONS:

Limited English Proficient (LEP) individual – Any prospective, potential, or actual recipient of benefits or services from the agency who cannot speak, read, write, or understand the English language at a level that permits them to interact effectively with health care providers and social service agencies.

Vital Documents – These forms include, but are not limited to, applications, consent forms, all compliance plans, bid documents, fair housing information, citizen participation plans, letters containing important information regarding participation in a program, notices pertaining to the reduction, denial, or termination of services or benefits, the right to appeal such actions, or that require a response from beneficiary notices advising LEP persons of the availability of free language assistance, and other outreach materials.

Title VI Compliance Officer: The person or persons responsible for administering compliance with the Title VI LEP policies.

Substantial number of LEP: 5% or 1,000 people, whichever is smaller, are potential applicants or recipients of the agency and speak a primary language other than English and have limited English proficiency.

PROCEDURES:

1. IDENTIFYING LEP PERSONS AND THEIR LANGUAGE

Wilson County will promptly identify the language and communication needs of the LEP person. Staff will use a language identification card (or “I speak cards,” http://www.lep.gov/resources/ISpeakCards2004.pdf ) and LEP posters to determine the language. In addition, when records are kept of past interactions with individuals or family members, the language used to communicate with the LEP person will be included as part of the record.

Some LEP persons may prefer or request to use a family member or friend as an interpreter. However, family members or friends of the LEP person will not be used as interpreters unless specifically requested by that individual and after the LEP person has understood that an offer of an interpreter at no charge to the person has been made by the facility. Such an offer and the response will be documented in the person’s file. If the LEP person chooses to use a family member or friend as an interpreter, issues of competency of interpretation, confidentiality, privacy, and conflict of interest should be considered. If the family member or friend is not competent or appropriate for any of these reasons, competent interpreter services will be provided to the LEP person.

CDBG-CV P.15 7/2021 157 WILSON COUNTY CDBG CORONAVIRUS (CDBG-CV) PROGRAM Duplication of Benefits Policy/Plan

Section 1: Purpose

The County of Wilson Duplication of Benefits Policy is to ensure no duplicate benefits are paid by local, state, or Federal agencies on behalf of its citizens. In accordance with the Stafford Act, funds may not be used for costs where other assistance was already provided for the same purpose if no unmet need remains. This policy shall help ensure that Community Development Block Grant Coronavirus (CDBG-CV) Program awards are necessary and reasonable, monitored for compliance, and funds recaptured if duplication is discovered.

Section 2: Introduction

Duplication of benefits (DOB) occur when a beneficiary receives assistance from multiple sources such as Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), the Small Business Administration (SBA), private insurance companies, non-profits, city, state, etc., for a cumulative amount exceeding the total need for a specific recovery purpose. The duplication amount is the excess assistance provided above the need.

Although this practice is overarching County plans and standard practice, each county entity contains tailored procedures with provisions for identifying required applicant documents, and process for verification.

Section 3: Responsibilities a) The County of Wilson, as award recipient, is responsible for ensuring all CDBG-CV requirements are met. The County Finance Director is ultimately responsible for ensuring compliance with requirements. b) The County Program Administrator will perform required analyses and determine any DOB as noted below and detailed in each program’s policies and procedures. c) County of Wilson internal finance staff and project coordinator will monitor DOB compliance during audit activities.

Section 4: DOB Determination a) Regardless of program, the first step in DOB calculation is to determine the amount of funds previously received or made available to assist with needs.

CDBG-CV.P.16 Page 1 of 3 7/2021

158 b) The County will verify amount(s) received. Prior to any award of assistance and for each program established in the Action Plan, the County will provide forms and procedures addressing DOB. Each procedure will:

1) Identify the total need of assistance.

2) Identify the total of all available assistance.

3) Identify the assistance deemed unavailable for the activity (same purpose)

i. Provided for a different purpose

ii. Funds used for a different, eligible purpose

iii. Funds not available to the applicant, e.g., forced mortgage payoff, contractor fraud, etc.

iv. Private loan funds not secured by SBA, forgivable loans are duplicative

v. Any other asset or line of credit available to the applicant, e.g., checking or savings accounts, stocks, etc.

vi. Determine total funds available from other sources for activity (same purpose) by subtracting unavailable assistance from total assistance received.

vii. Calculate unmet need by subtracting available funds from other sources, from the total need for assistance. c) The County will monitor compliance with agreements by verifying amounts with support agencies listed in original calculation, and recalculating DOB if required. Monitor for one year or follow agency- specific requirements, whichever is longer. d) Recapture funds (if necessary) should the Program Administrator and Finance Director determine duplication of benefits. The county will proceed with recapturing funds based on the county’s normal collection policies. e) For Wilson County’s programs receiving federal or state assistance, the Program Administrator and Finance Director will work with all applicable organizations to assist in determining any duplication of benefits.

CDBG-CV.P.16 Page 2 of 3 7/2021

159 All documentation of DOB will be stored in a hard file and electronic file at the Wilson County Manager’s office for the applicable program. The Project Administrator and Finance Director will monitor the DOB process. Monitoring results will be reviewed by the Finance Director and filed accordingly.

Adopted this 12th day of July, 2021.

Item: Property Tax Relief Request (Late Application) for Terry & Malinda Snell

Initiated By: Witt Putney, Tax Administrator

Action Proposed: Approve Property Tax Relief for 6921 Main St, Saratoga

Description: Mr. Witt Putney, Tax Administrator, to present the following Tax Exemption for the Board's consideration.

TERRY & MALINDA SNELL

LOCATION: 6921 MAIN ST, SARATOGA

PARCEL #3669-44-1984.000

This item is brought before the Board of Commissioners (BOC) with a recommendation for approval of the late-filed Elderly and Disabled Exclusion Application if the BOC finds the good cause justification to be satisfactory.

Exemption applications filed after the listing deadline require “good cause” to be considered for approval. The hand-written letter from the Snell’s indicates that they became aware of the Tax Relief Program during May of 2021. They were unable to timely file their application due to health complications afflicting them both during the May timeframe this year.

This property meets the qualifications approval so long as the BOC accepts the justification for untimely filing.

174 8.C

Wilson County Government Board of Commissioners' Agenda Information Sheet Date: July 12, 2021

Item: Authorize the receipt of American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act of 2021 and approve the Resolution

Initiated By: Denise Stinagle, County Manager

Action Proposed: Approve the Resolution accepting American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Funds

Description:

The American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act of 2021 allocates $15,888,885 to Wilson County. The federal law specifies that the funds will remain available through December 31, 2024. Although there are many continuing pressing financial needs due to the pandemic, this deadline allows sufficient time for local government to carefully consider how best to appropriate the monies for maximum short- and long-term benefit. Any unallocated ARP funds will comprise restricted fund balance until they are budgeted by the governing board. The process for receiving ARP funds varies based on type and size the local government. Counties and municipalities with over 50K population, receive their distribution directly from the federal government and can apply now for their first tranche (1/2 of the allocation).

Under the ARP, allowable funding comprises four main expenditures categories, although the Interim Final Rule breaks the first category into two categories. As stated in the Interim Final Rule, the categories are:

1. Support public health expenditures, by funding COVID-19 mitigation efforts, medical expenses, behavioral healthcare, and certain public health and safety staff; 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; 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; and, 5. Invest in water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure, making necessary investments to improve access to clean drinking water, support vital wastewater and storm water infrastructure, and to expand access to broadband internet.

175

Local Governments must spend their ARP monies consistent with federal requirements and in accordance with state law authority. Local Government officials must ensure that any proposed expenditure fits within the allowable categories under the federal law AND is explicitly authorized by state law. We are still awaiting guidance on a myriad of compliance issues.

RESOLUTION ACCEPTING

AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT (ARPA) FUNDS

WHEREAS, Wilson County is eligible to receive funding from the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds of H.R. 1319 American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (CSLRF) directly from the US Treasury Department currently estimated in the total amount of $15,888,885; and

WHEREAS, all funding received under the CSLRF must be accounted for in a separate fund and not co- mingled with other revenue for accounting purposes, and must also be spent only for certain purposes specifically authorized by the CSLRF (including applicable regulations and guidance of the US Treasury Department), and also in compliance with the laws and applicable regulations of the State of North Carolina; and

WHEREAS, in accordance with the foregoing, Wilson County must comply with all applicable budgeting, accounting, contracting, reporting, and other compliance requirements for all CSLRF funds; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Commissions is required to take formal action through the passage of this Resolution to formally approve the application for and formally accept the CSLRF funds.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of Wilson County as follows:

1. That the County Manager/County Attorney and County Finance Officer are designated and directed to take all actions deemed reasonably necessary on behalf of the Board of Commissioners to apply for, receive, and administer the CSLRF funds in accordance with all applicable federal and state laws, regulations, and guidance; and 2. That all such CSLRF funding for which Wilson County is eligible which has been or will be distributed by the US Treasury Department and which is received by Wilson County is hereby accepted subject to all applicable federal and state laws, regulations, and guidance.

Adopted this the 12th day of July 2021.

176 8.D

Wilson County Government Board of Commissioners' Agenda Information Sheet Date: July 12, 2021

Item: Resolution to approve the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the State of North Carolina and Local Governments relating to the Opiod Settlement

Initiated By: Denise Stinagle, County Manager

Action Proposed: Approve the Memorandum of Agreement Resolution as presented

Description: The NC Memorandum of Agreement (NC MOA) governs how NC will use the proceeds of any future national settlement or bankruptcy resolution with drug distributors and opioid manufactures. The potential settlement and resolution could bring as much as $850 million to North Carolina over an 18- year period to support state and local efforts to address the epidemic. For North Caroline to receive the maximum payout under national settlements and bankruptcy resolutions, all relevant parties-including the state iteslef, all 100 counties, and all large and medium size municipalities must sign on the NC MOA and the national settlement agreements. To maximize resources flowing to communities on the front lines of the epidemic, the NC MOA directs settlement as follows: 15% to the state, which the General Assembly would appropriate to address the epidemic. 80% to local governments, including all 100 counties and 17 municipalities. An additional 5% to an incentive fund to encourage counties and municipalities to sign on to the agreement. The agreement ensures a high level of transparency and accountability into how local governments use the funds, including special revenue funds subject to audit, annual financial and impact reports, and a public dashboard showing how settlement funds are used to address the epidemic. The City of Wilson is our municipality that exceeds $30,000. A Resolution by the County of Wilson approving the Memorandum of Agreement between the State of North Carolina and Local Governments on the proceeds that relate to the settlement of Opioid Litigation is presented for the Board's consideration.

A RESOLUTION

BY THE COUNTY OF WILSON

APPROVING THE MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT (MOA)

177 BETWEEN THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA AND

LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ON PROCEEDS

RELATING TO THE SETTLEMENT OF OPIOID LITIGATION

WHEREAS, as of 2019, the opioid epidemic had taken the lives of more than 16,500 North Carolinians, torn families apart, and ravaged communities from the mountains to the coast; and

WHEREAS, the COVID-19 pandemic has compounded the opioid crisis, increasing levels of drug misuse, addiction, and overdose death; and

WHEREAS, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates the total "economic burden" of prescription opioid misuse alone in the United States is $78.5 billion a year, including the costs of healthcare, lost productivity, addiction treatment, and criminal justice involvement; and

WHEREAS, certain counties and municipalities in North Carolina joined with thousands of local governments across the country to file lawsuits against opioid manufacturers and pharmaceutical distribution companies and hold those companies accountable for their misconduct; and

WHEREAS, representatives of local North Carolina governments, the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners, and the North Carolina Department of Justice have negotiated and prepared a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to provide for the equitable distribution of any proceeds from a settlement of national opioid litigation to the State of North Carolina and to individual local governments; and

WHEREAS, Local Governments and the State of North Carolina anticipate a settlement in the national opioid litigation to be forthcoming; and

WHEREAS, by signing onto the MOA, the state and local governments maximize North Carolina’s share of opioid settlement funds to ensure the needed resources reach communities, once a negotiation is finalized, as quickly, effectively, and directly as possible; and

WHEREAS, it is advantageous to all North Carolinians for local governments, including Wilson County and its citizens, to sign onto the MOA and demonstrate solidarity in response to the opioid epidemic, and to maximize the share of opioid settlement funds received both in the state and this county to help abate the harm; and

WHEREAS, the MOA directs substantial resources over multiple years to local governments on the front lines of the opioid epidemic while ensuring that these resources are used in an effective way to address the crisis.

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, Wilson County hereby approves the Memorandum of Agreement Between the State of North Carolina and Local Governments on Proceeds Relating to the Settlement of Opioid Litigation, and any subsequent settlement funds that may come into North Carolina as a result of the opioid crisis. Furthermore, Wilson County authorizes the County Manager take such measures as necessary to comply with the terms of the MOA and receive any settlement funds, including executing any documents related to the allocation of opioid settlement funds and settlement of lawsuits

178 related to this matter. Be it further resolved copies of this resolution and the signed MOA be sent to [email protected] as well as forwarded to the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners at [email protected].
