The Deficit Reduction Act (ORA) of 2005 and some planned programmatic changes will have an impact on Work First, North Carolina's Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program. The TANF program has been re-authorized through FFY 2010 and as more information becomes available, the State will provide additional guidance regarding the impact of the new federal regulations and any subsequent programmatic changes on the Work First program. By August 31, 2006, each county must notify the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) of its decision to select either standard or electing status. The decision must have the support of three-fifths of the Board of Commissioners. In compliance with these requirements, the Board of Social Services voted on June 28, 2006, to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners notify the State that New Hanover County again requests Standard County status, and appoint the 2005-07 planning committee to develop the new plan. RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Recommend approval of request to select Standard County status for the Work First plan for the Federal Fiscal Years 2007 -2009; and approval of the 2005-07 planning committee to develop the plan for 2007-09.

Change to the Fee Policy page 8 Letter F statement should read as follows (Bold notes change): The NHCHD will require "proof of income" to reduce charges when applying the sliding fee scale. If a patient is unable to produce this required information, they will be placed on a 100% sliding fee scale status, for a period of ten (10) business days. If proof of income is provided within the ten business-day period, the patient will be billed accordingly, If proof of income is not provided within the established time frame, the patient will be billed at 100% for all patients with the exception of Family Planning patients in the Women's Prevention Health program. The NHCHD representative has the right to verify income information in all cases, however the patient must read, understand, and sign the income statement (Page 35) in order for their income to be checked. The sliding fee scale does not apply to all services. Services with flat rate fees do not require proof of income. In extreme or unusual circumstances, the Health Director or designee may make exceptions. .

We are seeing more and more children "out of control" in homes and in preschools, with frustrated parents in need of help. Home visiting for family counseling and behavior management by a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) will eliminate transportation problems and provide assistance in the most natural environment - the home. It is imperative that we tackle behavior problems early in a child's development, to avoid discipline issues in school and possible juvenile delinquency. We have received permission from CFMF to submit a grant application in July 2006 to fund a full-time LCSW for three years (salary/fringe/operating and administrative support) in our Child Service Coordination Program to provide this service. No County funds would be required. RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: To approve the submission of a grant application for $260,000 (divided over three years) to CFMF for Child Service Coordination, and to approve any resulting budget amendment if the grant is awarded. Funding Source: CFMF FUNDING SOURCE: Will above action result in: New Position(s) Number of Positions: Explanation: If CFMF approves the grant, these funds will support the position for three years. No County funds would be required. Some Medicaid revenue may be recognized from the services provided by the LCSW. The position will be eliminated when grant funding ends.

No public comment was received. The changes would require developers to install dry water distribution systems during the development of new subdivisions, similar to the existing requirement for dry sewer systems to be installed. This requirement would minimize future disruptions to subdivisions to construct future water systems. The Water Development Task Force, of which Vice- Chairman Caster is a member, has encouraged this request. RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: The Planning Board voted 6-0 to recommend approval. The County Commissioners may approve, modify, or deny the text amendment.

District Regulations, Table of Permitted Uses Planning Board Action: At their regular meeting on June 1, 2006, the Planning Board recommended adoption of the proposed changes to the Zoning Ordinance by a vote 6 - O. No public comment was received. The proposed text amendment adds Barber/Beauty Shop as a permitted use in the 1-1 Industrial District Section 50-4: Table of Permitted Uses Table of Permitted Uses PO R-20S R-20 R-15 R-10 B-1 B-2 1-1 1-2 0&1 AF AI SC Barber/Beautv Shoo p P P P p STAFF SUMMARY Staff suggests that Section 50-4 Table of Permitted Uses be amended to include Barber/Beauty shops in the 1-1 Industrial District. The stated purpose ofthe 1-1 Industrial District is to provide areas for industrial type uses which do not create an excessive amount of noise, odor, smoke, dust, air-bourne debris, or other objectionable characteristics which might be detrimental to surrounding areas. The proposed addition of Barber/Beauty Shops will not create any of those characteristics listed as objectionable, The scope of uses currently permitted in the 1-1 Industrial District includes certain service uses typically associated with business districts, such as business services, including printing, dry cleaners, electrical repair shops, and watch and jewelry repair. Adding beauty/barber shops would appear consistent with existing inclusion of a limited variety of service-type businesses in the 1-1 Industrial District. The 2006 CAMA Plan Update supports the idea of incorporating light industrial into mixed use area as well as placing commercial uses within close proximity to the markets they serve. 30 NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION Meeting Date: 07/10/06 Regular Item #: 1.3 Estimated Time: Page Number: Department: Planning Presenter: Chris O'Keefe Contact: Chris O'Keefe Item Does Not Require Review SUBJECT: Special Use Permit - Request by long leaf Wood Products to Consider a Special Use Permit to Expand an Existing Debris Recycling Facility in an AI Airport Industrial District located at 2829 N.

Our current special use permit caps us at 6000 cubic yards per quarter. Weare requesting a special use permit for an unlimited amount and applying for permits from the state for the same amount. This permit gives us the ability to handle larger amounts of material in case of hurricanes. It also allows us to handle the ever growing need for a larger recycling site on the Northern side of the county that is expanding so rapidly. We are currently sending this material to the United Cogen plants and International Paper where it is burned to produce electric for the counties. In addition our goal is to start processing this material into colored mulch for resale to the garden centers and the public in the surrounding areas. We hope that this expansion is seen as valuable to the city and county as We do. We look forward to working with the county and the city in the future with the recycling of the area debris and providing the public with quality mulch recycled from our own communities. 36 3J.\fIll~d N ~ ..!.

Location of existing or proposed structures to be used in connection with the requested use: There are no additional structures planned at this time. The Barge is existing and in use now as the moorings for the Henrietta III. 3. Location of off-street parking: The Barge is floating in the Cape Fear River. Minimum parking requirements are available in the parking lot of Cape Fear Riverboats, Inc, adjoining the docking facility. 4. Location and dimensions of proposed signs: No signs are proposed for The Barge. 5. Location of site relative to major thoroughfares: Please see attached map, exhibit "c". 6. Setbacks from property lines: Not applicable in the situation of this permit request. 7. Narrative of proposed use: The Barge (name of the vessel) is a floating barge in the Cape Fear River used as moorings and a passenger waiting area for the Henrietta III (see attached photo "1 "), a tour and dinner boat located adjacent to the central business district of Wilmington. We wish to be able to offer our customers beer and wine on The Barge while waiting to board the Henrietta III for our cruises. In order to do so we must have an ABC permit for The Barge since the ABC permits ofthe Henrietta III cannot be used because of the tour boat regulations under which she operates that are of different criterion.

On Monday, June 5, 2006, bids were opened and read aloud. The results are detailed below: AI-Jon Manufacturing, LLC --- NO BID Road Machinery --- $435,135 Gregory Poole --- $712,000 All bidders were required to submit the machine's specifications and warranty so that the County could verify that the equipment met or exceeded the specifications detailed in the bid package. The bidders were also required to list all exceptions as an attachment to their bid proposal. Gregory Poole bid a Caterpillar 826 H Landfill Compactor. He was the only bidder to provide all the information as requested in the bid package. Road Machinery bid a Terex 3-75 E Trashmaster. After a careful analysis, it was determined that this equipment failed to meet the minimum specifications as detailed in the bid package. There were many exceptions; however, there were several exceptions that made this bid totally unacceptable to the County. These exceptions are detailed below: 1. Machine did not meet the minimum 77,000 pound weight limit. The heavier machine produces a greater density range as well as the ability to compact more tons per hour. In the long run, these higher densities produce savings to the County because less space is used but more garbage is being compacted. 2. Machine was not a four wheel design. The tricycle style compactor bid by Road Machinery creates a safety issue to the County. Its ability to climb hills is limited and it is susceptible to roll-over due to its design. 3. Machine was not equipped with the Caron Double Semi-U design blade. The bid specifications allowed No exceptions. 4. Machine was not equipped with Caron Wheels and striker bars. No exceptions allowed. 5. Extended warranty on the power train not included. New Hanover County has used Caterpillar equipment at the landfill for over 20 years. The CAT 826H compactor bid by Gregory Poole with Caron Wheels and the Caron Double Semi-U design blade is the best machine for the landfill. Steve Edens, Landfill Manager, conducted a thorough analysis of the two machines even though the Terex failed to meet the specifications. This was done to ensure that the County was getting the best equipment for the money being spent. Based on staff experience and the performance of the Caterpillar with Caron Wheels, we request approval of the bid to Gregory Poole in the amount of $712,000. RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Adopt resolution awarding Bid 06-0092 and Contract 06-0092 to Gregory Poole in the amount of $712,000, and authorize the County Manager to execute the contract.

That plan was completed by McKim and Creed in 2001 and was used to manage system growth and to establish the need for a treatment capacity upgrade at the Northside Treatment Plant. A minor update of the Wastewater Master Plan with very limited scope was produced in 2005. This minor update only looked at broad statistical zoning population assumptions since the production of the original Master Plan. The update did not fully consider the impact of ongoing and planned development in New Hanover County on capacity at the Southside Plant. County staff and City staff concur that comprehensive re-evaluation of the system with emphasis on management of wastewater flows for the Northside WWTP and Southside WWTP service area is needed. Detailed analysis will be performed to verify/modify population projections, flow factors, service areas, and resultant wastewater flows. Recommendations will be made in the form of a Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) to manage wastewater demands for both conveyance and treatment capacity through the year 2026. A system model will be produced along with a comprehensive evaluation of current capacities of Northside WWTP and Southside WWTP and the implications of potential flow diversions or capacity management strategies for each. Sewer needs in the 421 N corridor will also be examined. RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Staff requests award of the contract for professional services to McKim and Creed in the amount of $243,075. Staff also requests approval of the associated budget amendment in the amount of $267,383. A 10% contingency of $24,308 is requested to cover additional expenses.
