Problem and Project Operation
The Problem: I
NC Department of Corrections Office of Research and Planning reported in 2006 over 26.000 exits from prison, reminding us that a
staggering 98% of the current population (over 37,000) will be released in the future. 60% of prisoners leaving prison are likely to
commit crimes returning them to prison. 3.4% of total inmates released in 2006 were residents of New Hanover County.
Despite the fact that New Hanover County comprises just 2% of the state's population, it consistently ranks in the top 6 counties in
entries into prison and offender exits into the community.
The transition period is regarded as the most critical period for ex-offenders, as they face barriers to reintegration, The program
addresses this by developing case plans; matching clients to therapeutic housing, job training, gainful employment. counseling and
substance abuse referral as needed.
Resources critical to success are:
1. Housing, transportation and meals away from criminal and drug activity.
2. Access to skills to obtain/maintain employment.
3. Immediate and long-term intensive contact to re-integrate into the community.
L1NC, Inc has served an average of 111 clients per year (04-06.) 65% are currently not incarcerated. If funded. NHC will have the
resources to reach additional clients.
Project Operation:
Leading into New Communities' programming goal is to provide reintegration services for 222 ex-offenders in the next two years.
The New Workforce Program (NWP) will continue maintenance and support for current clients as well. L1NC has established a ten
(10) bed transitional facilrty that provides structure, supervision. twenty four (24) hour monitoring, and the supportive services
necessary for successful transition.
The client and the case manager interact in a fact-gathering process identified as the creation of the Interactive Case History
Assessment (ICHA). This assessment entails a professional review of clients___ criminal history, experiences in prison. drug/aicohol
history, mental health status, housing, transportation, educational level, vocational competency, work history, and the level of family
support is identified. A medical examination is also included but serviced by the Medical Services division of L1NC.
A goal-focused case plan is created based on the assessed needs from the ICHA. NWP staff use a strengths based solution
focused approach (see Appendix B) which helps guide the transitional process. This includes resource identification for each
clients:. personal needs. Some of the resources available through contractual relationship with L1NC Inc. include: Coastal Horizons
TASC program, Cape Fear Community College, Direct Support for Professionals, Mid-Eastern Occupational group, Empioyment
Security Commission, Wilmington Housing Authority, Wilmington Police Department, Department of Social Services, Vocational
Rehabilitation, and Southeastern Mental Health. Once a referral is made, the NWP case manager will track attendance and goal
attainment, provide additional employment support, and require weekly attendance at NWP support groups
Through a community partner(See Appendix C) NWP has a training facility where classes are provided throughout the week specific
to ex-offenders. Topics include but are not limited to: How to Become a Successful Employee, Thinking + Feeling =
Character/Behavior/Problem. Raising Children of Incarcerated Parents Under American Occupation, and How to Build a Healthy
Esteem. Activities include: Chess night, Movie/Family night, and an Ex-Offender support group. Additionally we provide employment
counseling and GED prep classes.
Participants will enter the program through referrals from any of the following: District/Superior Court Judges, Adult Probation and
Parole, County Pre-Trial Release Program, TASC, and the Department of Correction.
L1NC INC. is centrally located in Wilmington, bus routes are within walking distance of residences. Transportation (bus tickets) will
be available to clients on an as needed basis.

Dear Applicant:
On behalf of Smart Start of New Hanover County, I would like to extend my thanks for your
interest in helping us meet the needs of young children and their families in our community. All
programs that wish to be considered for funding in 2007-08 must submit a Request for Funding
Application. You will find this attached.
The Allocation Committee of Smart Start ofNHC will oversee the review of applications and
prepare recommendations to the Board of Directors for approval. Only applications submitted by
the deadline on Monday, January 8, 2007 will be evaluated. A review process among Smart Start
ofNHC staff, Program Consultants at the North Carolina Partnership for Children, and applicants
will take place immediately upon receipt of eligible applications. This process will allow
applicants to respond to questions and/or requests for clarification prior to the Allocation
Committee's evaluations and is intended to present the most complete and finalized form of an
application's activity description. Therefore, applicants should be prepared to respond to any
questions and clarification requests by January 25th. The Allocation Committee's evaluation
includes, but is not limited to, ratings for completeness, content, experience, contractor
qualifications, reasonableness, cost, and, where applicable, current outcome status and results of
monitoring. Applicants will be notified of funding decisions by April 1 st.
Also, please note that award of a grant to one entity does not mean that another service provider's
program lacked merit, but that, all factors considered, the programs selected for funding were most
likely to positively impact the agency's goals and provide the best value. All funding is based on
the appropriations to Smart Start by the North Carolina General Assembly.
Please follow all instructions very carefully so that your application will be eligible for
consideration. You are welcome to call our office if you have questions (815-3731).
We look forward to reviewing your application. Thank You.
Sincerely,
Janet Nelson

Consideration of Creation and Utilization of New Hanover County Seal/logo
BRIEF SUMMARY:
At the Board's January 8, 2007 meeting, a public hearing was conducted to receive public comment on utilization of a new

Flags: Prices are based on quantity and quality. Embroidered flags with fringe cost approximately $600 each. These are
posted in the historic courthouse assembly room, and conference room 601 at the NHC Government Center. All weather-
silk screened flags are considerably less expensive, at $35-$45 each.

Stationary: Most departments no longer have large amounts of letterhead printed and keep stationary on their desktops.
Business cards: $32/1,000. Many departments are currently in need of having new cards printed with new addresses and
telephone numbers and have been awaiting a decision on the new seal.
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
Consider new seal/logo.

SUBJECT:
Consideration of Purchase of 109 Acres of Property on lords Creek from the North Carolina Coastal land Trust
BRIEF SUMMARY:
The Coastal Land Trust has been awarded a grant to purchase approximately 109 acres of land along Lords Creek in
Southern New Hanover County. Once the Land Trust purchases this land, they wish to bargain sell the property to the
County to be held in fee simple ownership permanently. The terms of the grant require that a conservation easement
restricting uses of the site be given to the State of North Carolina. The easement allows the site to be used for passive
recreation purposes. The property is mostly marshland but does offer several acres of uplands suitable for picnic shelters,
trailways, rest rooms and canoe/kayak launching. The ability to provide vehicular access to the property ultimately may
define the extent to which it can be used by the public at large. The property is currently owned by the Burnett family. As a
condition for the bargain sale, the Burnett family would like the park to be known as the "John and Ruth Burnett Natural
Area". The family hopes to complete this sale by the end ofthis month.
Camilla Herlevich, Executive Director for the Coastal Land Trust, has requested that the County provide $30,000 to the
Trust as a fee to defray their costs in this effort.
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
Consider authorizing staff to sign the conservation agreement, purchase the property for the sum of ten dollars ($10) and
pay the Coastal Land Trust a fee of thirty thousand dollars ($30,000) for their work towards acquiring this land. The
$30,000 will be funded by proceeds from the Parks Bonds.

interests as specified herein; all expenses including attorneys' fees incurred by Grantor and
Grantee in such action shall be paid out of the recovered proceeds to the extent not paid by the
condemning authority. The Grantee, its successors and assigns, shall be entitled to a portion of

ofthe Grantee and any forbearance by Grantee to exercise its rights hereunder in the event of any
breach of any term set forth herein shall not be deemed or construed to be a waiver by Grantee of
such term or of any subsequent breach of the same or of any other term of this Conservation
Easement or of Grantee's rights. No delay or omission by Grantee in exercise of any right or
remedy shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver.

SUBJECT:
Contract Amendment - Municipal and Financial Services Group (MFS&G)
Water and Sewer Consolidation
BRIEF SUMMARY:
On April 18, 2006, the Board of County Commissioners approved a resolution identifying the need to hire a Project Manager
and perform a rate study to facilitate the consolidation of the water and sewer systems operated by the City of Wilmington
and New Hanover County. The City of Wilmington also approved a concurrent resolution. The resolution established an
initial budget of $400,000 and identified equal contributions of $200,000 from the County and City. On July 24, 2006 the
firm of Municipal and Financial Services Group began work.
As progress towards consolidation is made, additional tasks have been identified. A change order for the additional work is
necessary to cover the cost through June 30, 2007 for services provided by MFS&G (see attached sheet). Consistent with
the original agreement, the cost of the work will be split SO/50 between the City and County. Additional services will likely
be needed past June 30,2007.
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
Staff requests approval of the associated budget amendment in the amount of $365,753 to cover the 50% cost for the
professional services through June 2007.

SUBJECT:
Flow Monitoring NEI Service Area - Request for Project Funding and Approval of Contract # 07-0275 with Camp
Dresser and McKee
BRIEF SUMMARY:
As requested by the State of North Carolina, reasonable efforts to limit flows in the NEI system during the moratorium
period are to be undertaken. Flows into the NEI through the Bradley Creek Pump Station exceed the rated capacity of the
pumps at that station during major storm events. Reduction of storm water in the sewer system is important in preventing
spills resulting from the NEI because it is possible for sewage to overflow out of manholes into the creek during major storm
events. Upstream gravity sewer lines need to be investigated to determine if they are a source of storm water intrusion into
the system.
CDM is currently performing a flow monitoring study on sewers that flow into the NEI for the City of Wilmington and was
selected by the City through a competitive request for qualifications process. County staff meets regularly with City staff
and CDM on this and other issues of mutual concern for public health and safety related to sewers. The City's competitive
selection process to determine the best qualified consultant coupled with critical public health and safety concerns warrants
an exemption for procurement of engineering services without a formal competitive selection process by the County per
NCGS ~ 143-64.32.
County staff requested a proposal from CDM to perform flow monitoring for the New Hanover County system serving the
NEI at the same time as CDM monitors the City system. A unified approach is intended to provide consistent findings and
some cost advantages. This project's findings will identify areas in the NHC system tributary to the Bradley Creek Outfall
and NEI where storm water intrudes. In-house camera inspections and smoking of sewer lines will be focused on the areas
identified by flow monitoring and damaged pipes or manholes will be repaired.
CDM's fee for this service is $62,400.
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
Staff requests the following:
. Approve the associated budget amendment in the amount of $62,400.
. Exempt the project from additional qualifications selection per NCGS ~ 143-64.32.
. Award contract #07-0275 for flow monitoring to CDM subject to County Attorney review
and approval.

Subject: Proposal for Flow Monitoring Bradley Creek Outfall Sewershed ;
Dear Mr. McSmith: I
j
;
Per your request, attached is a proposal for flow monitoring data collection and analysis for ,
the County's Bradley Creek Outfall Sewershed. The proposal includes installing five (5) flow ;
I
meters and two (2) rain gauges in the study area as shown on the attached figure. The results .
of the flow monitoring data will allow us to analyze the contribution of inilltration and inflow I
(III) during rainfall events and make recommendations on both the type and location of j
1
additional potential sewer system evaluation survey (SSES) work. i
I
I have also included our standard contractual agreement for you to review. If you have any !
concerns or would like us to use a County standard form of agreement, please call me to 1
,
discuss. !
CDM appreciates the opportunity to be of service to the County and we are very excited to !
begin this work. I look forward to speaking with you further about this proposal at your I
earliest convenience. !
Very truly yours, i

EXHIBIT A
TO AGREEMENT BETWEEN
OWNER AND ENGINEER
(STUDY AND REPORT)
Based on the average pump station flows seen at Pump Station 35 during some large rain
events in 2006, and the known pumping capacity of other stations pumping to this one, New
Hanover County suspects infiltration/inflow (JfI) is coming from their Bradley Creek Outfall
and/or sewershed. In addition the County has reported SSOs upstream of the Outfall during
large rain events. The Outfall is currently under design for rehabilitation, and the County
has requested CDM perform flow monitoring in the upstream sewershed. The purpose of
the flow monitoring is to determine the extent of JfI coming from the sewershed upstream of
the Outfall and to assist in selecting priorities areas for subsequent investigation or
rehabilitation to reduce JfI.
This is an exhibit attached to and made a part of the Agreement dated January _, 2007, between New Hanover
County (OWNER) and Camp Dresser and McKee (ENGINEER) for professional services.
1.0 ENGINEER'S SERVICES
1.1 Studv and Report Phase
Upon this Agreement becoming effective, ENGINEER shaH:
1.1.1 Consult with OWNER to clarify and define OWNER's requirements for the Project and review
available data.
1.1.2 Evaluate various alternate solutions available to OWNER as described herein, and, after
consultation with OWNER, recommend to OWNER those solutions which in ENGINEER's
judgment best meet OWNER's requirements for the Project.
The duties and responsibilities of ENGINEER during the Study and Report Phase as set forth in this
paragraph 1.1 are amended and supplemented as foHows:
ENGINEER will develop and implement a flow-monitoring plan to collect pertinent
flow and rainfall data within New Hanover County's Bradley Creek Outfall Sewershed.
Within this plan, ENGINEER will recommend flow monitor locations within the study area,
a recommended duration of flow monitorin~ and criteria for completion of the flow
monitoring study. Criteria for completion will include suggestions for minimum rainfall
events for which wet-weather flow data shall be collected for use in selecting priorities areas
for subsequent investigation or rehabilitation to reduce JfI.
This scope of work includes an allowance of $30,000 for a flow-monitoring program based on
the estimated cost for mobilization and planning of 5 temporary flow monitors and 2 rain
gages installed for 60 days. Should the flow monitoring require a time extension due to lack
of rainfall, additional weeks may be added to the contract for an additional cost. The actual
Exhibit A - 12/2006 Page 1
Owner and Engineer-Study and Report
103
flow monitoring program may differ from that described above based upon the flow
monitoring plan developed by ENGINEER and the OWNER.
ENGINEER intends to subcontract field flow monitoring services. The flow monitoring
equipment will be capable of measuring depth and velocity of wastewater flows at preset,
synchronized time intervals of 15 minutes. Pressure sensors will be installed with the
capability of measuring depth of surcharging at the monitoring locations. Flow monitoring
sites will be selected in conjunction with the County staff members. Concurrent data will be
recorded from 2 temporary rain gages installed in the study area. Rain gage locations will be
determined with the assistance of the County. The rain gaging equipment shall be capable
of measuring rainfall depth in increments of 0.01 inches at preset synchronized time
intervals of 15 minutes. Flow and rainfall data will be provided to the County in digital
ASCII or spreadsheet-compatible format. Data shall include date, time, depth, and average
velocity, and flow at not more than 1S-minute increments. Flow monitor installation logs
will also be provided for each monitoring site.
ENGINEER will decompose wastewater flow data into base flow, groundwater infiltration,
and rainfall dependent infiltration and inflow (RDIjI) components. This decomposition will
reveal the relative RDIjI contributions of various portions of the service area. Based on these
results, ENGINEER will recommend areas in order of priority for subsequent investigation
and/or rehabilitation.
A technical memorandum of the flow monitoring results will be prepared and a meeting
held to review the results.
2.0 OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITIES
2.1 Furnish to ENGINEER, as requested by ENGINEER for performance of Services as required by the
Contract Documents, the following:
2.1.1
Other special data or consultations not covered in Article 1.0.
