The Department of Aging has operated a Medication Assistance Program for three years. The Council of Governments was the applicant for the previous three grants which covered a four county area. The Council of Governments will not be applying for Phase III as the counties are eligible for larger grants if they apply separately. The Department of Aging has a staff person in place who is trained and is in position to continue the work required of this program. The new Phase III grant will be a continuation of the existing Medication Assistance Program. The deadline for the application was April 17, 2006. Grant funds will cover the cost of salary for one temporary staff person (30 hours per week) and operating expenses. The Medication Assistance Program Grant does not require a County match. The program is entirely grant supported.

This process is a recommended step in effective collections management. The items recommended for deaccession have all been reviewed by the Curator, Director, Collections Committee, and Museum Advisory Board. Recommendations for disposition are also provided. In some instances, if the original donor can be contacted, the item is offered for return; Contracts of Gifts are explicit that this will not normally occur. Many of the items on the list are identified for transfer to the Demonstration Collection where they can be used in educational programs or for hands-on exhibits. Some items may have historical value, but they are of little value to support our particular mission. These may be listed on a Museum List sponsored by the American Association of Museums. The attached deaccession list includes three donations which we expect to transfer to the Onslow County Museum. They are looking forward to final approval for this transfer to occur. When no reuse can be identified, the object is destroyed. RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Accept the recommendations of the Museum Advisory Board to deaccession the attached list of items from the Museum's Permanent Collection.

That the final application for Public Beach and Coastal Waterfront Access Program Funds for improvements to the Fort Fisher Basin Access Site has been reviewed by the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners at a duly advertised public meeting. And that; 2. The New Hanover County Board of Commissioners approves the application as submitted, and that; 3. The New Hanover County Board of Commissioners authorizes the submittal of the final application for Public Beach and Coastal Waterfront Access Grant funds to the NC Department of Coastal Management. This the 18th day of April, 2006. Robert G. Greer, Chairman Attest: Teresa P. Elmore, Deputy Clerk to the Board ----" - -----~_.- -- 40 Fort Fisher Basin CAMA Beach Access Grant Final Application Description of Project New Hanover County has been asked to participate in a partnership seeking to improve the public access at the south end of Fort Fisher. The access site is known as the Fort Fisher Basin (the Basin). Donna Moffit with the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher has taken the lead in developing this partnership. The partnership includes the Aquarium, New Hanover County, the Corps of Engineers, the Coastal Federation, the Wildlife Resources Commission, and DOT's Ferry Division. Although official figures for visitation to the Basin are not available, the site is a very popular attraction for residents and visitors alike. Numerous improvements are planned for the Basin including: organizing traffic flow, enlarging and paving the parking area, filling low spots, installing interpretive signage highlighting the historic and natural features on-site, improving the bulkhead and boat ramp, constructing a separate canoe/kayak launch area, and improving the breakwater linking Fort Fisher to Zeke's Island. New Hanover County has a documented shortage of access locations. The State provides funds for improving access to our waterways through the CAMA Access program. Cities and counties in coastal North Carolina are eligible for this program. The deadline for submittal of a final application is April 28, 2006. An estimated budget for the costs for the above improvements has been developed by Gordon Myers of the Wildlife Resources Commission. Costs for implementing the improvements would be $369,800. The grant program requires a 25% match. Half of this match can be in-kind and half must be cash. The use of heavy construction equipment, engineering, planning and other services can be used in lieu of the cash portion of the required match. We have proposed a large in-kind match that we hope can offset much of the County's required match. In addition, involved State agencies have stated that they will take the lead in site analysis and preparing plans. It is also important to note that involved State agencies in the Ft. Fisher area have tentatively indicated that they will maintain the project, e.g. trash collection. --~------ -----_._--~----- 41 Following is the proposed budget for this project: Proposed Summarv Bude:et: This form must be Assistance Local Other completed and included with your application.

Division of Water Quality and many research organizations have identified agricultural practices, land disturbing activities performed as part of commercial, residential and/or industrial development, and runoff from developed community areas as major sources of non-point water pollution in coastal streams, estuaries, and bays; and WHEREAS, partnership programs focused by the Soil and Water Conservation Districts of the state have shown that a combination of education, outreach and technical assistance to farmers, and sharing with landowners the cost of installing on farms and forests best water quality management practices do significantly control sedimentation and non-point pollution from agricultural lands; and WHEREAS, by administering provisions ofthe N. C. Erosion and Sediment Control Act, and by enacting controls in subdivision and other ordinances and building codes, New Hanover County has installed major controls over erosion and sediment contributions from new commercial, residential and industrial development; and WHEREAS, there is, and has been, no comprehensive, statewide program that can focus education, outreach, technical assistance and cost-sharing in already developed, non-farm areas; and WHEREAS, in many areas of the state, managing the quality of storm water runoff in both incorporated and unincorporated communities where farm and forest land is being converted to suburban-style development is placing heavy financial burdens on the affected jurisdictions for both technical expertise and necessary infrastructure; and WHEREAS, the New Hanover Soil and Water Conservation District in pioneering work countywide and in the Hewletts Creek watershed, and the N. C. Cooperative Extension Service in the Burnt Mill Creek watershed, have demonstrated through actual field work that the education, outreach, technical assistance and financial incentives model found so effective in the agriculture sector is equally effective in attacking non-point sources of water pollution in already developed residential and commercial community areas; and WHEREAS, the North Carolina Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts has formed a standing Community Conservation Committee and adopted a resolution to formally request the North Carolina General Assembly to authorize and fund a statewide Community Conservation Assistance Program. ~.~... ------ ---_._--_.~,-_._---- 88 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners urges members of the General Assembly, particularly those representing New Hanover County, to actively support actions that will authorize and fund the statewide Community Conservation Districts.

Building Industries BUSINESS ALLIAIfCE FOR ASOUND ECONOMY January 9, 2006 During the January 18th meeting of the BASE Board of Directors, the New Hanover Soil and Water Conservation District's Comnnmity Conservation Assistance Program was discussed and a position of endorsement considered. It is with great enthusiasm that I infOnD you that the Board supports your local initiatives to include the installation of best management practices and stormwater control mechanisms on previously developed properties, and encourages the necessary funding be provided from the General Assembly and mechanisms other than from an already overburdened development industry. Layers of new regulation are continually and readily added to the development process, yet water quality restoration objectives fail to be accomplished year after year. It has been the opinion of the Homebuilding, Real Estate and Land Development industries that additional regulatory and economic burdens placed on new development is simply turning a blind eye to the real problem; runoff from existing development negatively and exponentially impacts water quality. For this reason, the BASE Board of Directors embraces and endorses the New Hanover Soil and Water Conservation District's Community Conservation Assistance Program that establishes an effective focus on restoring water quality as a vital part of om region's overall quality of life. Levying the bmden on any particular industry or segment of the population has proven wholly unsuccessful. Therefore, we encourage the General Assembly to make appropriations to such an initiative and illustrate that for every dollar invested in water quality restoration, one dollar is contributed directly to North Carolina's quality oflife. Thank you for this opportunity to review and comment on such an initiative as the New Hanover Soil and Water Conservation District's Community Conservation Assistance Program, and express with great sincerity our hope that such a program proves a successful pilot for other Conservation Districts to emulate.

COMMISSIONERS' ACTIONS/COMMENTS: The item was removed and will be placed on the May 1,2006 agenda as a public hearing. 97 TO: New Hanover County Commissioners FROM: Jean McNeil, Animal Control Services Manager Holt Moore, Assistant County Attorney (original document revised) RE: Suggested Animal Control Services Ordinance Revisions DATE: April 10, 2006 The primary goal of New Hanover County Animal Control Services (ACS) is to provide a safe community for the citizens and animals of our area. The changes outlined below reflect careful consideration from each review group to better assist us in the performance of our duties as a county agency. This is inclusive of those who are pet owners as well as those who do not have personal companion animals. Each citizen is served by our division regardless of pet ownership. The following are suggested changes to the "Animals" section of the New Hanover County Code, based upon discussions we have had with the ACS staff. We also met with the members of the ACS Advisory Committee on February 8, 2006, to gain their input and suggestions. Additional revisions to the changes have been reviewed and approved by the Executive Committee of the Board of Health on March 28,2006, and the full Board of Health on April 5, 2006. Comments are listed in the documentation below. These were compiled as the result of a routine review of the ordinance involving animals. No changes have been made since I (Jean McNeil) assumed my position as ACS Manager. These are all considered measures to ensure the safety of the citizens and pets of our community, so that ACS may better serve our county as a whole. 1. Definition of 'Severe Iniury' COMMENT The definition of "severe injury," as it now stands, is "any physical injury that results in broken bones or lacerations or requires cosmetic surgery or hospitalization, the cost of such medical treatment exceeding $100.00." The significance of the definition is that one of the ways in which a dog may be found "dangerous," is if it, without provocation, "has killed or inflicted severe injury on a person." Also, one of the ways in which a dog may be found "potentially dangerous," is if it "killed or inflicted severe injury upon a domestic animal when not on the owner's real property." The feeling of at least some of the ACS staff is that, given that any injury which causes broken bones or lacerations is already automatically "severe," that only those injuries which otherwise require cosmetic surgery or hospitalization which result in treatment exceeding $200 should qualify. The feeling is that virtually any injury which ---------_.__._-~._...-- ------~---- ~ 98 requires treatment will surpass the $100 mark, and that given the increasing cost of treatment both to animals and humans, and that if the injury did not cause a laceration or broken bone, it should require $200 of treatment in order to be considered severe. The ACS Advisory Committee members felt that the definition could be simplified to specify a dollar amount only, excluding the verbiage to describe the type of injury. They also raised the dollar amount to the amount of $250, citing the same reasoning as the ACS staff about the current cost of treatment. The Board of Health (BOH) approved this as presented. SPECIFIC PROPOSED CHANGE: CURRENT: Sec. 5-61. Definitions. Severe injury means any physical injury that results in broken bones or lacerations or requires cosmetic surgery or hospitalization, the cost of such medical treatment exceeding $100.00. PROPOSED: Sec. 5-61. Definitions. Severe injury means any physical injury that results in medical treatment exceeding the cost of $250.00. 2. Spav/Neuter Requirement Upon Dane:erous Doe: Violation COMMENT My understanding is that one or more members of the ACS Advisory Committee, and one of the County Commissioners, is interested in the prospect of adding spaying or neutering as an option when a dog is determined to be dangerous or potentially dangerous. My opinion is that the most legally defensible option along these lines would be to provide that as an option if the dog is initially determined to be dangerous (as opposed to potentially dangerous), or in any case in which there is a second violation (i.e. where there is a violation of the terms of the initial dangerous or potentially dangerous determination). I believe that having the spaying / neutering option available in cases where there is an initial "potentially dangerous" determination only, runs the risk of a successful legal challenge that our punitive measure at that point would be unduly infringing the owner's property. BOH members suggested that statistics be provided to support the fact that this is a necessary addition to the ordinance. In general, ACS has found that the majority of animals that are declared potentially dangerous are intact dogs. They agreed that this stipulation should not be a requirement until after the animal has violated the original determination, giving the owner a chance to correct the dog's behavior by other means. 99 SPECIFIC PROPOSED CHANGE: CURRENT: Sec. 5-65. Violation of conditions; euthanization. (a) Animal Control Services may take possession of any dog concerning whom it has cause to believe an owner has violated section 5-64. For this purpose, the requirement for sufficient cause shall be satisfied if an officer observes the violation or if animal control services obtains an affidavit setting forth the violation. An owner who violates section 5-64 in a willful or negligent manner may be found by the committee to have forfeited all rights or ownership of the dog; and upon final determination of such violation, the dog may be humanely euthanized by animal control. PROPOSED: Sec. 5-65. Violation of conditions; euthanization. (Sentence to be included in paragraph (a) third sentence.) (a) Animal Control Services may take possession of any dog concerning whom it has cause to believe an owner has violated section 5-64. For this purpose, the requirement for sufficient cause shall be satisfied if an officer observes the violation or if animal control services obtains an affidavit setting forth the violation. The owner of any dog that has been declared dangerous that is found in violation of section 5-64 by the preceding methods must have the dog surgically sterilized. An owner who violates section 5-64 in a willful or negligent manner may be found by the committee to have forfeited all rights or ownership of the dog; and upon final determination of such violation, the dog may be humanely euthanized by animal control. 3. More Specific Kennel Size Information COMMENT There is no specific definition regarding kennel size in the current ordinance document. The ACS Advisory Committee suggested an addition to the law, which will enable field officers to enforce adequate living quarters for dogs kept outdoors. The BOH requested that we include the stipulation to include "per dog" for each kennel specified. SPECIFIC PROPOSED CHANGE: PROPOSED: Sec. 5-4. Definitions. (This definition would be placed after the definition for neutered male.) Outside enclosure means a pen large enough to provide each dog less than 25 pounds of weight to be housed in space no smaller than an 8 xl 0 foot kennel, and each dog greater than 25 pounds to be housed in a kennel space of lOx 10 feet or larger. Animal Control Services reserves the right to determine if a space is considered suitable for the number and size of dogs housed in an outdoor enclosure. -- -- ---_.~-_._--- --------------- --~-------_.__._---~_._.,_., .,------ -- 100 5. Replace Voice Control with Actual Leash Law in All County Areas COMMENT Currently, in order for a dog or cat to be legally "restrained" while not on the owner's property (no restraint is required while on the owner's property), it must be controlled by means of a leash, or is sufficiently near the owner or handler to be under his direct control and is obedient to that person's command, or is on or within a vehicle being driven or parked, or is within a secure enclosure. There are exceptions for dog shows, hunting, etc. H has been suggested, although the Board of Commissioners has not seen fit to enact such a provision in the past, that perhaps the County has become sufficiently urban that the option of "voice control" or simply having the animal "sufficiently near the owner or handler to be under his direct control and is obedient to that person's command" should be removed, which would leave effectively an on-leash requirement for the unincorporated county, such as present in the City of Wilmington. Continued urban growth both inside and outside city limits makes this of greater importance than when it was first presented. The BOH had a lively discussion regarding the addition of cats to the ordinance. A question was raised as to how someone could keep a cat on a leash or not. The intent of the law is to keep all animals on the property of their owners. Increased urbanization of the county makes a countywide leash law seem necessary. We have had numerous complaints about animals (including dogs and cats) running-at-large, which prompted us to pursue this important public safety issue. We police behind numerous bites to quarantine animals, and the major number of these are due to animals that are not under the control of their owner. SPECIFIC PROPOSED CHANGE: CURRENT: Sec. 5-4. Definitions. Restraint means the state of an animal if it is controlled by means of a leash, or is sufficiently near the owner or handler to be under his direct control and is obedient to that person's command, or is on or within a vehicle being driven or parked, or is within a secure enclosure. Exceptions to restraint are as follows: Organized and lawful animal functions; e.g., hunting, obedience training, field and water training, law enforcement training and/or in the pursuit of working or competing in those legal endeavors. When a dog is on the property of its owner or guardian it shall be secured when not supervised by a competent person. Ropes, chains and the like shall not constitute adequate security under this chapter. PROPOSED: Sec. 5-4. Definitions. Restraint means the state of an animal if it is controlled by means of a leash, or is on or within a vehicle being driven or parked, or is within a secure enclosure. Exceptions to restraint are as follows: Organized and lawful animal functions; e.g., hunting, _._-----_._----. ----- ----"------- --- _._~_._~_. ---~ 101 obedience training, field and water training, law enforcement training and/or in the pursuit of working or competing in those legal endeavors. An animal shall be maintained securely on the property of its owner. Ropes, chains and the like shall not constitute adequate security under this chapter. 6. Proposed Addition of Spav/Neuter Reauirement for all Ae:encies Adoptine: Animals in New Hanover County. COMMENT ACS views one of the primary problems in terms of controlling the county pet population, being that of out-of-county adoption agencies, which hold adoption fairs or events here, without having the dogs and cats first spayed or neutered. The suggestion has been made to require a permit or license for these out-of-county-based organizations in order for them to hold such events here, and as a condition of that permit or license, require that all dogs and cats be spayed and/or neutered. ACS staff has worked diligently to ensure that animals adopted from the shelter are sterilized, and they encourage neutering of pets belonging to the general public. Higher fees for those animals that are intact (differential licensing) is one method utilized. Discussion with the Advisory Committee was quite involved. Every member was in agreement that NHC had done too much to have their efforts diminished by intact animals invading our county. Since many of the groups adopt responsibly, meaning pets are healthy and neutered, the group did not want to penalize these organizations. Although any entity that comes from outside NHC to adopt here is direct competition for our available animals, the greatest threats are those that fill our area with intact animals. The new owners, despite certificates to have surgery done after adoption, seldom neuter these. Historically, NHC ACS attempted this same method, and they discovered that 50% of the adopted animals remained reproductively viable. The proposed ordinance addition would grant ACS the leverage needed to require neutering of animals adopted in our county. The group suggested a $500 fine as the penalty for violation of this section of the ordinance. The BOH made no comments on this section. Approved as stated. PROPOSED NEW ORDINANCE: Sec. 5-27 Proof of sterilization of animals adopted in New Hanover County Any group, organization, or entity offering animals for adoption in New Hanover County must provide proof of sterilization for every animal prior to adoption. __._____._.._______~__.._._,_.._._.. _..m___'___. --- 102 7. Prohibition of Pets Ridine: in Beds of Pickup Trucks Although it has been suggested that the County enact a provision to make it illegal to transport dogs or cats in the beds of pickup trucks, I think it is likely that this would be pre-empted by state law. Jill Moore with the Institute of Government in Chapel Hill provided David Rice an opinion recently that a local Board of Health could not regulate the use of cell phones while driving, based upon her sense that the state had pre-empted the entire area of motor vehicle operation, which would include truck operation with a pet the in bed. A better option may be to lobby the state legislature. 8. Confiscation of Pets Whose Owners Are Indisposed A concern was expressed about animals that are left unattended as a result of illness, incarceration or other involuntary condition, and also those left unattended in vehicles for an unsafe length of time for whatever reason. ACS staff frequently encounters situations where an owner is arrested or ill, so they are no longer able to care for their pet. An additional area of concern was taking animals from homes where an eviction had occurred. Animals are considered property, so it is difficult to remove them -- even though they are living creatures. The following amendments are suggested to address these concerns: The BOH suggested changing the dollar amount from $100 to $150 for dogs kept in vehicles. No other changes were stipulated. PROPOSED ADDITIONS: Section 5-16(a) Impounding Animals - Authorized The impounding of animals by Animal Control shall also be authorized in the event of temporary abandonment of the animal due to illness, incarceration, or other involuntary event. The process for impoundment and redemption shall be the same in these circumstances as otherwise described in this section. Section 5-15 Manner of Keeping and Treating Animals Generally In the event that an animal is left in a vehicle in such as manner as to cause the animal to be in a state of physical distress, or under such conditions as will quickly cause the animal to reach a state of distress or physical danger, Animal Control shall be authorized to remove the animal from the vehicle. There shall be a $150 fine for such removal, and the owner may retrieve the animal from the Animal Control facility upon payment of the fine and any boarding costs. - --------,-.-..------.- 103 This page intentionally left blank. 104 NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION Meeting Date: 04/18/06 Regular Item #: 11 Estimated Time: Page Number: Department: County Manager Presenter: Pat Melvin Contact: Pat Melvin SUBJECT: Presentation on Processing of Adult Care/Nursing Home Complaints and Agency Roles BRIEF SUMMARY: At the request of the Board of Commissioners, representatives from the Department of Social Services, Health Department, Department of Aging, Council of Governments, and the Assistant County Manager met, discussed and developed this presentation on the processing of adult care/nursing home complaints and agency roles therein.

This problem has been exacerbated during the past several years because 800 MHz public safety radio systems have become more widespread and 800 MHz commercial wireless systems have proliferated, both in terms of transmitter sites and subscribers. Consequently, public safety systems began to encounter pockets of "dead zones" or have otherwise suffered from interference within their coverage areas. The FCC ordered the reconfiguration of the 800 MHz band to avoid a potentially life-threatening problem where public safety communications equipment may be rendered inoperable. The planned reconfiguration of the 800 MHz band includes creating "guard band," or buffer, to help ensure that signals from the different types of networks will not interfere with each other. Sprint Nextel has been charged by the FCC with funding relocation costs for affected licensees. In addition to reconfiguring many of its own 800 MHz operations, Sprint Nextel will pay all allowable costs of relocating other 800 MHz incumbents that are required to reconfigure their systems to new frequencies with comparable facilities. New Hanover County has 13 frequencies (5 conventional mutual aid and 8 trunked) that are within the range that must be relocated as a result of the FCC order. The reconfiguration process will be lengthy and technically demanding. Attached is a Statement of Work from Federal Engineering, Inc. for 800 MHz Reconfiguration Support. This SOW has been reviewed by NHC legal staff and reflects the FCC's order that Sprint/Nextel is solely responsible for payments due to Federal Engineering. The firm, fixed-price cost for Phase 1 of the Reconfiguration Support is $132,906. This work will be performed at no cost to the County.

PROJECT NH-REC-SUP NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NC 800 MHZ RECONFIGURATION SUPPORT 1.0 INTRODUCTION AND ISSUES New Hanover County (NHC) owns and operates a Trunked Radio System (TRS) designed to provide public safety and public service communications throughout New Hanover County, North Carolina. The TRS includes a 4 site trunked digital voice radio system, and a 2 site analog trunked radio system. The TRS is managed by the Emergency Management Department of New Hanover County (NHC) and utilizes 800 MHz frequencies licensed to New Hanover County, North Carolina. The TRS provides shared interoperable voice communications for agencies within the county. The county also operates a SCADA system on 800 MHz as well as participating with the New Hanover Regional Medical Center, Corning Glass and General Electric in sharing some 800 MHz systems and channels. NHC along with many public safety I public service agencies in the United States must participate in a national frequency reconfiguration effort in order to separate its 800 MHz frequencies from those of commercial carriers. While some of NHC's frequencies can remain where they are, the task of moving those that require relocation will necessitate a great deal of thorough research and careful planning. It is imperative that this task of frequency relocation be handled smoothly and efficiently, to both minimize any user-level performance interruption and to ensure that overall system performance is not degraded. In order to expedite these results, there must be constant and clear communication between all necessary parties, in particular New Hanover County, the surrounding jurisdictions, SprinUNextel, who will ultimately be responsible for funding the effort and the Transition Administrator (TA) representing the Federal Government. Federal Engineering, Inc. (FE) recently assisted the City of Virginia Beach, VA in Page 1 of 18 111 negotiating and reaching an approved Planning Funding Agreement (PFA) with SprintlNextel. This Statement of Work (SOW) is derived from the lessons learned from that process and is consistent in approach and format with documents previously accepted by SprintlNextel and the T A. By relying upon FE's prior experiences with the rebanding process, New Hanover County is assured of an orderly, low risk approach to their rebanding project. FE will act as an overall engineering program manager and coordinator on behalf of the New Hanover County during the 800 MHz rebanding process. Utilizing its own internal resources, resources within New Hanover County, the system manufacturer and other subcontractors as may be appropriate, FE will develop the technical and operational plans necessary to maintain reliable communications during all reconfiguration activities in a manner consistent with the operational needs of New Hanover County while doing so in the most cost effective manner possible. 1.1 Obiectives The purpose of this document is to detail the 800 MHz reconfiguration planning needs of NHC. The objectives of this program from NHC's perspective are as follows: );> Contract with an independent consulting firm that is experienced in public safety communications and can deliver this planning phase in a cost effective manner );> Minimize the risks and disruptions of service through detailed planning, analysis and program management );> Inventory current systems and equipment to quantify the level of effort required );> Benchmark current system performance and measure post-Reconfiguration performance to ensure that no degradations were introduced );> Develop a program plan, statement of work, and costing information for the reconfiguration implementation phase for submittal to the T A and SprintlNextel NHC has retained the services of Federal Engineering, Inc. (FE) to assist in the planning and implementation of reconfiguration. FE is a nationwide systems engineering and consulting firm specializing in public safety mobile communications. The firm is currently assisting numerous jurisdictions in public safety radio and interoperability programs. Federal Engineering will perform the following duties for NHC: );> Conduct an examination of NHC's communications inventory, including user agency subscriber equipment, repeaters, base stations and other radio system equipment );> Work with the appropriate equipment manufacturers to determine which equipment must be modified, reprogrammed, or replaced in order to comply with the reconfiguration efforts );> Create a baseline cost estimate which shall encompass the totality of NHC's Page 2 of 18 ------------ 112 expenses ~ Facilitate communication between all necessary parties in this process ~ Draft all necessary documents to ensure that these activities are executed in a timely fashion. Additional details regarding NHC's reconfiguration program are presented in subsequent paragraphs. 2.0 TASKS TO BE PERFORMED The 800 MHz band reconfiguration process is divided into two main segments. Phase One, the Planning and Negotiation Phase, includes all planning and research activities that will prepare New Hanover County for the actual reconfiguration. Phase Two, the Reconfiguration Implementation Phase, is where the actual reconfiguration is performed, as well as the final completion of the process. It is the goal of FE to assist New Hanover County in making the process of reconfiguration a smooth and efficient one. In this section, all of the necessary tasks to accomplish this goal are outlined. 2.1 Planning and NeQotiation - Phase One During this phase, NHC's needs are assessed, reconfiguration plans and schedules are developed, and contracts are negotiated. The tasks of this phase include conducting negotiations with SprintlNextel, replacement frequency analysis, systems inventory, engineering and implementation planning, and project management. The cost of the activities of the planning and negotiation phase can be covered directly or reimbursed by SprintlNextel by submitting a document detailing the estimated planning expenses to SprintlNextel. This document is referred to as a Request for Planning Funding Form. FE will provide support in the drafting of this document so that NHC may obtain funding from SprintlNextel to cover these planning costs. This step is discussed in further detail later in this section. 2.1.1 Project Management The first step in this program is the development of a program plan to manage this project for NHC. A Program Office will be established to provide scheduling, risk management, staff forecasting, and to track and report the efforts of the FE as well as all relevant agencies, stakeholders and third party vendors. This Program Office will remain in place and coordinate all project activities throughout all phases of the project. A high level task-based schedule will be developed to ensure that the process is Page 3 of 18 113 managed and completed within the desired time frames. The process will be outlined in a way that ensures that the results will meet NHC's requirements. Federal Engineering will deliver status reports in electronic form. Each such report will address the specific accomplishments achieved during the reporting period, including task completion dates, and projected completion dates for the remaining tasks. Topics to be covered for such reports typically include: . Overview . Task Objectives . FE Accomplishments . Difficulties Encountered . Anticipated Project Changes . NHC Actions . Scheduled Tasks . Task Completion Status . Current Milestone Schedule . Meetings and Trips . Invoice Payment Status FE will deliver these status reports in electronic form via email attachments. Federal Engineering will conduct a program orientation meeting with representatives from public safety I public service user organizations. The purpose of this meeting will be to introduce the FE program team, review project objectives and key milestone dates, identify the relevant agencies and stakeholders and/or the key personnel who will participate, organize project logistics, outline expected deliverables, review status reporting methodologies, and resolve any other issues that may arise. It is also anticipated that NHC will introduce its Program Manager for the project at this meeting. As a result of this meeting, FE will deliver a revised project plan and timetable. This project plan will serve as the guiding document throughout the program. 2.1.2 Submit Request for Planning Funding Obtaining funding for planning activities is a crucial step. Each of the tasks in the first phase of the reconfiguration are considered planning activities, and are therefore covered by this funding. By submitting a Request for Planning Funding form to SprintlNextel and the TA in accordance with the agreements SprintlNextel has made regarding this reconfiguration process, the costs of all approved planning activities will be paid in full by SprintlNextel. Federal Engineering will work with NHC in the drafting of this document and provide up to 40 hours of support for the negotiation of a Planning Funding Agreement (PFA) with SprintlNextel, so that funding can be provided to NHC to cover these costs. If after 40 Page 4 of 18 ---...-.. 114 hours of negotiation support, NHC is not able to reach agreement with SprinUNextel, FE will provide a cost estimate for continued negotiation support. In order to accurately determine the level of funding necessary, FE will work with NHC to tabulate all estimated costs of planning. These costs include, but are not limited to, costs associated with third-party vendors, such as the estimated total of this SOW, as well as NHC's internal employee and resource expenditures during the planning phase. Once a total has been reached, the Request for Planning Funding Form will be completed and submitted to the TA and SprinUNextel, along with any documentation required to support the requested amount. 2.1.3 Document Subscriber Equipment Inventory To complete the relocation of NHC systems to the new frequencies assigned, various types of subscriber radio equipment will have to be reprogrammed, retuned, or replaced. In order to assure that all subscriber equipment is accounted for, an accurate inventory of NHC's subscriber equipment must be completed. Federal Engineering personnel will survey up to 1,250 pieces of existing equipment representing a sampling of 50% of the inventory to ensure that the inventory is accurate at the time a specific work group or location is completed, and confirm that all necessary frequency information is made available. Information to be collected, where available, will include model number, hardware revision level, firmware revision level, current location or assignment, equipment status, and other data determined to be necessary. As most radios for this system have been purchased in phases, this sampling will allow for accurate determination of the overall quantity and type of radios that must be reprogrammed, retuned or replaced based on the frequencies that are to be relocated or reconfigured. The subscriber equipment to be inventoried will include, but not be limited to: . mobiles and portables . mobile data terminals and modems . radio programming equipmenUsoftware . accessories by subscriber device model number . active devices in daily service . spare devices used for special events or emergencies . devices used on the licensed system that are assigned to related agencies . special applications e.g. traffic light control, fire alarm enunciators, other SCADA systems The inventory will be delivered in the form of a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet in suitable detail to meet the needs of the TA FE will recommend a process for NHC to follow in order to maintain a current inventory. Keeping the inventory current and other changes will be the responsibility of NHC once FE has completed the inventory of a work group or location. Page 5 of 18 --.--------.------.--."---.---- ._~_.._------ 115 2.1.4 Document Infrastructure Facilities Inventory As with the subscriber equipment, the systems infrastructure equipment will also have to be retuned, modified or replaced in order to migrate to new frequencies. An accurate inventory must be made of all infrastructure equipment, including the current frequency and the frequency range of the equipment so that a determination can be made if the equipment can be modified or must be replaced. Federal Engineering personnel will work to survey all tower site locations supporting the NHC trunked radio system, the prime site for trunked radio system control equipment and any sites used for the NPSPAC mutual aid system or the 800 MHz mobile data system. Federal Engineering will ensure that the inventory is accurate at the time a specific location is completed and confirm that all necessary frequency information is made available. Information to be collected, where available, will include make, model number, hardware revision level, firmware revision level, current location, equipment status, and other data determined to be necessary. This will allow for the accurate determination of which elements of the infrastructure must be modified or replaced based on the frequencies that are to be relocated or reconfigured. The inventory will be delivered in the form of a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet in suitable detail to meet the needs of the TA. FE will recommend a process for NHC to follow in order to maintain a current inventory. Keeping the inventory current and other changes will be the responsibility of NHC once FE has completed the inventory of a site or location. 2.1.5 Define NHC Area Interoperability Environment The interoperability environment in which NHC systems operate will have to be determined. This includes which radios and associated equipment share channels and/or talkgroups with other agencies and which other agencies have equipment programmed for operation in NHC systems. FE will provide the Program Management and technical resources necessary to gather this information. Once this is completed, FE will determine which of the frequencies associated with these interoperability channels will relocated. Any equipment utilizing these channels will have to be reconfigured during the implementation phase. FE will determine which of NHC's interoperability frequencies will be relocated, and the subscriber and infrastructure equipment modifications necessary to operate on the new frequencies. FE will capture and document NHC's current and interim operational requirements including future capabilities and NHC's needs and interoperability requirements currently supported by the existing systems. This work will be undertaken to assure that these capabilities are maintained in the system after the reconfiguration process is complete. Page 6 of 18 116 In addition, NHC will have to develop a plan for how communications will be conducted internally and with other agencies during the reconfiguration. FE will assist NHC in the development of this communications plan. FE will work to assure that NHC remains aware of the reconfiguration actions that are being taken by other agencies which could impact NHC. 2.1.6 Frequency Analysis Appendix A lists all NHC's current 800 MHz channels. FE has confirmed the accuracy of this list against the FCC license database. FE will work with NHC to confirm that all systems are represented accurately prior to any reconfiguration effort. At a minimum, 13 channels will require relocations as described below: . 8 channels licensed under WPHZ633 and WNUX409 should move out of the newly formed expansion band . 5 NPSPAC National mutual aid channels licensed under WQAQ374 must move from the upper end of the band to the new NPSPAC area at the lower end of the band Once the T A has been made aware of NHC's intention to participate in the reconfiguration, the TA will propose new frequencies for those which will be relocated. After the TA conveys this information, an evaluation process will begin to determine the level of compatibility the new frequency assignments have with the existing frequencies. FE will manage the spectrum selection process and provide independent verification and validation of the frequency plans proposed by SprinUNextel and/or the TA. This analysis will include site frequency analysis including intermodulation and Transmitter Noise/Receiver Desense studies, area frequency analysis including co-channel studies and frequency separation analysis to determine compatibility with the antenna systems located at each radio site. If it is decided that the frequencies are acceptable, then the reconfiguration process will continue, but should FE or NHC determine that the frequencies will not work with the current configurations, or should NHC decide that it would bear too much of a hardship to relocate to the proposed frequencies, then other action will need to be taken through communication with SprinUNextel and the TA. FE will assist NHC during this process. Based upon the inventory information compiled, FE will determine whether the proposed frequencies can be integrated into existing equipment, or whether replacements will have to be obtained. FE will determine which options can be taken to ensure that the relocation does not put NHC's critical communications systems at risk. Page 7 of 18 ------_._-~_.. 117 2.1.7 System Benchmark Plan Development FE will develop a plan and process to benchmark the performance of the system prior to reconfiguration. This process will include the collection of site measurement data such as transmitter power combiner losses, receiver sensitivity and noise floor on each channel at each site prior to any system reconfiguration. In addition the performance of the system may be verified by limited radio coverage drive testing to record the signal strength and signal quality of the system utilizing existing frequencies. Based upon this benchmarking plan, FE will develop a preliminary acceptance test plan (ATP) to be implemented after the channels have been relocated. The draft acceptance test plan will serve as a basis for deciding what measures must be taken after reconfiguration to ensure that the systems are functioning equal to or better than they were prior to the reconfiguration. The official ATP will be finalized during the contract negotiations with SprintlNextel 2.1.8 Prepare a Cost Estimate Based upon the subscriber unit and infrastructure inventory, FE will coordinate with the appropriate manufacturers and/or local radio shops to determine if the equipment can be reprogrammed or must be replaced and what the cost of the effort will be. Details regarding how much equipment will be affected and what steps have to occur to execute those changes will drive this cost estimate. FE will develop a complete estimate that covers all costs of the actual reconfiguration implementation. FE will work with NHC to make sure that the costs submitted to SprintlNextel and the TA are representative of the work necessary to complete the reconfiguration. This process will include obtaining firm cost quotations from the vendors who will perform the technical reconfiguration tasks during the implementation phase; developing costs for FE to provide Program Management services for the process and to provide acceptance testing; documenting the costs for NHC personnel and resources; estimating the amount of time necessary to complete these actions; and preparing an SOW to support the amounts presented in the cost estimate. The completed cost estimate and associated SOW will then be submitted to SprintlNextel. These documents will form the basis for the negotiations with SprintlNextel. FE will work with NHC to ensure that the documents are concise, accurate, and submitted to the proper parties within SprintlNextel in a timely manner. 2.1.9 Negotiate the Contract with SprintlNextel Once the cost estimate and associated SOW have been submitted, the negotiations with SprintlNextel will begin. The results of these negotiations will be a Frequency Page 8 of 18 118 Reconfiguration Agreement (FRA). The TA has stipulated that there are multiple time windows during which agencies can participate in these negotiations with SprintlNextel. The initial window for these negotiations for agencies in North Carolina begins on May 1, 2006. This is the beginning of the voluntary negotiation period, which extends for three months. A mandatory period of negotiations then begins and extends for an additional three months. It is Federal Engineering's goal to have these negotiations begin early as possible and to be completed well before the end of the six-month period. While there are always uncertainties during negotiations, FE will devote the resources required to assist NHC in completing these negotiations in a timely fashion and to ensure that SprintlNextel agrees to a reconfiguration plan that adequately compensates NHC for all expenses incurred during the implementation phase. As with the PFA negotiations, Federal Engineering will work with NHC in the drafting of this document and provide up to 40 hours of support for the negotiation of an FRA with SprintlNextel. If after 40 hours of negotiation support, NHC is not able to reach agreement with SprintlNextel, FE will provide a cost estimate for continued negotiation support. 2.2 Reconficwration Implementation - Phase Two After negotiations with SprintlNextel have been finalized, the actual implementation phase will begin. This phase includes activities such as filing FCC applications for the new frequencies, migrating equipment to those frequencies, conducting system performance tests, and ultimately accepting the reconfiguration project as completed successfully. The following is a more detailed breakdown of the tasks to be performed during this phase. As the purpose of Phase One, the Planning and Negotiation Phase, is to develop the detailed plan for Phase Two, the following tasks are described in general terms and will be further clarified within the SOW developed under Phase One. 2.2.1 FCC Applications Filed and Granted for New Frequencies During the contract negotiation with SprintlNextel, FE will determine the responsible party for drafting the FCC applications for the new frequencies. Should it be decided that SprintlNextel will perform this activity and draft the applications, then FE will ensure that SprintlNextel has all of the necessary information regarding sites, frequencies, power levels, etc. that are required to file these forms. Should it be decided that the applications will be drafted and filed by NHC, then FE will draft the applications, confirm their accuracy, and present then to the appropriate agency within NHC for signatures. FE will also ensure that applications are submitted to the proper department within the FCC in a timely manner. Page 9 of 18 119 2.2.2 SprintlNextel Clears Frequencies Sprint/Nextel is responsible for vacating the frequencies that it currently utilizes and relocating their operations to a different portion of spectrum. The frequencies that it vacates may coincide with the new frequencies that NHC will be obtaining. Should this be the case, Sprint/Nextel will be required to provide confirmation of their vacating the frequencies, allowing for NHC's portion of the reconfiguration to continue. These details will be discussed during the negotiation phase with Sprint/Nextel. FE will offer its personnel as a point-of-contact for Sprint/Nextel during this process, thus acting as a liaison between Sprint/Nextel and NHC, should any issues or concerns arise regarding Sprint/Nextel's relocation. 2.2.3 System Benchmarking FE will perform the benchmarking process developed during the planning phase. This may include limited radio coverage drive testing and radio network measurements to benchmark the signal strength and current performance of the system utilizing existing frequencies. This benchmark study will include the development of a spread sheet and other documentation required to represent the test results. Additionally, FE will benchmark the performance of the infrastructure equipment through the recording of power output and receiver sensitivity measurements on each channel at each site prior to any system reconfiguration. Based upon this system benchmarking, FE will refine the preliminary acceptance test plan (ATP). The final ATP will be finalized during the contract negotiations with Sprint/Nextel 2.2.4 NHC Relocates to New Frequencies During this step, all activities necessary to reconfigure the subscriber equipment and the infrastructure facilities as well as any other associated changes will be completed. FE will provide Program Management services for this process to ensure that the activities defined in the SOW are carried out in a timely and cost effective manner. FE will work to assure that all entities involved in the process adhere to the schedule as it is defined. A detailed program plan tracking these activities will be developed and posted on FEClientNet, a custom website devoted to NHC's reconfiguration process. FE will review all of the fleet-map and talk-group configurations required to assure proper system operation on the reconfigured channels. FE will be available to log user feedback, and also to interact with any parties requiring assistance or information during this process. All third party vendors will complete their Page 10 of 18 120 work during this period and users will be trained on any system changes caused by the reconfiguration. 2.2.5 SprintlNextel Makes Payments for Reconfiguration During the contract negotiation with Sprint/Nextel, a payment plan will be drafted. FE will assist NHC in working with Sprint/Nextel to ensure that Sprint/Nextel adheres to this payment plan and that all reimbursable costs are included. Sprint/Nextel will remit payments to NHC and/or directly to FE and other selected vendor(s) involved with the NHC system reconfiguration in accordance with the arrangements and schedule in the contract negotiated with Sprint/Nextel. This payment plan mayor may not be incremental, and may either precede, coincide with, or follow the activities of the implementation phase. The details will be finalized during contract negotiation. 2.2.6 Acceptance Testing As per the Acceptance Test Plan (ATP) finalized during contract negotiations, all necessary steps to determine system/equipment performance will be completed during this period. Performance measurement of any new or modified transmission equipment may also be performed during this time. FE will perform any system benchmarking necessary to ascertain system performance, and will compare those results with the previous equipment measurements and other tools, such as computer models, as required. FE will verify that the newly configured systems meet the requirements of the acceptance tests, and in the event that certain systems do not, FE will provide data as to how they failed. 2.2.7 Channel Surrender Applications are filed with FCC Once the equipment/systems have been reconfigured and proper operation has been verified, NHC will be required to notify SprintlNextel that the activities have been completed. At that time, NHC will be required to surrender any licensed frequencies no longer in use to the FCC. FE will assist NHC in notifying the FCC of the vacating of these frequencies, and assist in the drafting of any documents necessary to accomplish this task. Page 11 of 18 121 2.2.8 NHC and SprintlNextel Certify Completion Once each of the previous steps has been completed, Sprint/Nextel and NHC will meet in a "Closing" process that will signify the successful completion of the reconfiguration. At this time, all documents showing incurred costs to NHC will be presented and a final tabulation of NHC's expenses will be made. FE will assist NHC in compiling these costs and associated documents so that an accurate total can be determined. This total will be used in a "true-up" process between NHC and Sprint/Nextel. If either entity is due money, payments will be arranged to account for the difference. 2.2.9 NHC completes other FCC Filings After agreements have been reached between NHC and Sprint/Nextel and the reconfiguration process has been certified as complete, there are two remaining documents that NHC must submit to the FCC to fully complete the process: 1. A Certificate of Construction must be filed anytime a licensee begins broadcasting on a newly licensed frequency. FE will assist NHC in the drafting of this document and ensure that is properly submitted. Any costs associated with the drafting of this document will be estimated before beginning negotiations with Sprint/Nextel and shall be discussed in those negotiations. 2. The second document to be filed is the responsibility of Sprint/Nextel and pertains to Sprint/Nextel receiving new frequencies as part of the reconfiguration. FE will follow up with Sprint/Nextel to confirm that this has been filed. 3.0 DELlVERABLES I MILESTONES Federal Engineering will complete this SOW in accordance with the following schedule assuming contract execution and notice to proceed is received no later than March 17, 2006.

FE employees have participated in many public safety mobile radio projects and several have served with agencies directly involved in the field of public safety. Page 13 of 18 123 Based upon his unique combination of technical and managerial skills and North Carolina location, Mr. Bob Hamlin, Senior Consultant, will serve as the Program Manager. Mr. Hamlin has over 30 years of experience in wireless communications systems and project management. His background includes the implementation and management of advanced public safety and commercial wireless communications networks as well as the operation of enterprise activities in commercial, utility and governmental environments. Mr. Hamlin has been directly involved with FE public safety communication programs for New Hanover County and is currently engaged in the planning and implementation of that system. Mr. Bradley R. Barber, Senior Consultant, will assist Mr Hamlin, as will other FE technical personnel as necessary. Mr. Barber has over 20 years of experience in wireless communications systems and project management. His background includes the implementation and management of advanced public safety and commercial wireless communications networks as well as the operation of enterprise activities in commercial, utility and governmental environments. Since joining Federal Engineering, Mr. Barber has been involved with several major planning and consulting efforts including the development of state wide wireless interoperability plans for Washington State, procurement planning of a wide area simulcast radio system for the consolidated Louisville/Jefferson County Kentucky metropolitan area government and support for the 800 MHz rebanding efforts of the City of Virginia Beach, VA 4.0 COSTS The firm-fixed-price cost for Phase One (See Section 2.1) of this SOW is $132,906 that includes labor, travel, and other direct costs as detailed below. I Planning Cost Category II FE Costs I Frequency Analysis $14,995 System Inventory $33,760 Engineering & Implementation Planning $49,381 Project Management $34,770 Total $132,906 Page 14 of 18 -----..-" 124 FE will invoice SprinVNextel (with approval from NHC) the amount of $26,581 (20%) upon the agreement with SprinVNextel for the funding of the planning phase (completion of the Planning Funding Agreement). This invoice will be due upon signing of the PFA and payment will be made within 15 days of contract execution. Beginning with the commencement of work, FE will invoice NHC monthly equal amounts for the remaining 80% of the contracted value. This statement of work will be performed on a firm-fixed-price basis in accordance with the pricing called out above. The following estimated labor hours for Phase One (See Section 2.1) of the program are for informational purposes only: I FE Labor Category II Total Hours II Hourly Rate II Expenses I Principal 24 $250 n/c Vice President 40 $225 n/c Senior Consultant 468 $150 $6,720 Consultant 554 $95 $3,360 Senior Analyst 160 $70 n/c Admin/Data Services 80 $50 n/c The FE program manager reserves the right to adjust the distribution of hours among consultants to meet our commitments to NHC. The costs for Phase Two (See Section 2.2) will be determined at the end of Phase One. At that time, this SOW will be amended and approved in writing by both Federal Engineering and NHC. 5.0 ASSUMPTIONS AND CONSTRAINTS This SOW assumes Federal Engineering, Inc. will complete of all of the tasks as called out in Section 2.1. The deletion of a task or significant change in scope of one or more tasks may affect the overall price. This statement of work including tasks, deliverables, schedules, and costs are subject to change as the result of negotiations between New Hanover County and SprinVNextel as well as the T A. Changes may also occur as a result of the T A mandated "true-up" process at the end of each phase of the program. This SOW assumes that the NHC Project Manager will schedule meetings, notify attendees, arrange for on-site visits, facilitate the inventory process, duplicate Page 15 of 18 125 documents and distribute the documents to participants. This proposal also assumes that NHC will, at no cost to FE, make an office available for the use of FE consultants while on-site during this project including: . Customary office arrangements and supplies . Connection to the Internet and email access . Local telephone service with voice mail . Access to conference rooms as needed . Access to secretarial support for messages and other administrative support Locating FE consultants in a NHC provided office while they are in town is for the convenience of Worcester personnel and to facilitate a close working relationship with all agencies/individuals involved with the reconfiguration process. FE's ability to fulfill this task depends, in part, on the willingness and ability of NHC, SprintlNextel, the Transition Administrator, the FCC, equipment vendors, service providers, third parties, and others to provide information in a timely manner, and upon the accuracy of the information as supplied. The accuracy of input data, whether provided in electronic or hard copy form, and the recommendations, actions, system designs, procurements, and bidder actions resulting there from cannot, therefore, be warranted by FE nor can the performance, suitability, or reliability of said systems be warranted by FE. Phase One (See Section 2.1) of this SOW is based upon 12 person-trips to the Hanover County, North Carolina area and assumes a maximum of 15 weeks from notice to proceed to the completion of the last milestone. Delays to the program schedule due to actions or lack of actions on the part of NHC, SprintlNextel, the Transition Administrator, the FCC, third parties, and others including but not limited to vendor protests and protracted contract negotiations may impact the program schedule and/or costs to the NHC and will be brought to the attention of the NHC Project Manager in a timely manner. FE acknowledges that SprintlNextel is solely responsible for payments due to FE as part of this SOW and that such payments will be governed by the terms and conditions to be described in the New Hanover County Planning Funding Agreement (PFA) and Frequency Reconfiguration Agreement (FRA). These documents will authorize milestone payments to be issued directly from SprintlNextel to FE upon the receipt of FE invoices for services and approval of the associated costs by New Hanover County. New Hanover County shall cooperate with FE in obtaining reimbursements for expenses pursuant to the FCC settlement. Federal Engineering reserves the right to suspend activities in support of this SOW should milestone payments not be received when due and will resume activities once the proper milestone payments have been received. The restart of work may result in additional costs which shall be the responsibility of SprintlNextel. New Hanover County is under no obligation to incur costs for the planning of 800 MHz rebanding reconfiguration beyond the tasks included in this SOW unless such arrangements are mutually agreed to by NHC and FE.
