SUBJECT:
Request to Submit a Revised Grant Application and Local Governmental Resolution to the
Governor's Highway Safety Program (GHSP)
BRIEF SUMMARY:
On February 21, 2005, the Board of Commissioners authorized a request from the Sheriff's Office to submit a grant
application to GHSP for a 2005-2006 Safe Roads grant in the amount of $86,934 (federal $62,453 and $24,481 local match
for equipment). Agenda minutes are attached for reference purposes.
The grant application was approved by GHSP for consideration with the following exceptions: revise the grant to include
personnel costs (salary and fringes) for two deputy positions to increase aggressive traffic enforcement by Sheriff's Office
Patrol Division and revise the equipment request.
The revised grant request includes $108,376 (salary/fringes) for two deputy positions (100% federal funds). The revised
equipment request of $90,600 includes: two traffic enforcement vehicles (equipped) at a cost of $60,000; 2 dual radar units,
$5,000; 4 Alco-Sensor units, $1,600; 1 speed monitor trailer, $12,000; and 2 in-car video systems, $12,000. The local
match requirement is $25,650 on equipment. As in the original request to the Board of Commissioners, the Sheriff is
requesting that General Fund Contingency funds be used for the local match requirement.
If the grant is awarded, the Governor's Highway Safety Program requires that the project period be at least three years.
The Sheriff is in agreement with this requirement. The formula for the local match of personnel funds is as follows: first
year, 0%; second year, 25%; third year, 50%; fourth year 100%.
The personnel and equipment funds would be used to increase traffic enforcement in problem traffic areas coinciding with
peak traffic time and days of the week and in conjunction with roadblocks and check points throughout New Hanover
County. The peak traffic times are when most incidents of "road rage" or aggressive driving are being reported.
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
Recommend approval for the Sheriff's Office to submit a revised grant application and local governmental resolution to the
Governor's Highway Safety Program. If the grant is awarded, recommend approval of the grant and associated budget
amendment.
FUNDING SOURCE:

SUBJECT:
Refund of Property Taxes for R05508-002-016-000
Legal: (.92 AC. PT BELLAMY)
BRIEF SUMMARY:
On October 27, 1989 a warranty deed was recorded transferring property from Mr. George Harriss to Campus Walk
Associates. The Tax Department incorrectly included an adjacent parcel owned by Mr. Harriss when the transfer was
worked in 1989. That parcel was not described in the deed, but was a part of an adjacent tract of land owned by Mr.
Harriss which he believed he had sold to Campus Edge in 1985.
Research of the online deeds recorded with the New Hanover County Register of Deeds from 1955 thru 2006 were
unsuccessful in locating any transfer of the parcel to either Campus Edge or Campus Walk from Mr. Harriss. The Tax
Department incorrectly transferred the property to Campus Walk in 1989. Mr. Harriss has indicated that he was under the
impression he had sold the entire parcel, which included the parcel incorrectly identified to be owned by Campus Walk. Mr.
Harriss is having his closing attorney research their records.
Campus Walk Associates paid taxes on the parcel from the October 1989 closing date thru tax year 2004. The taxes paid
total $17,100.79. The principal owner of Campus Walk Associates, Mr. K. Neal Hunt, has submitted a written request that
the taxes paid on the parcel be refunded since he was not the legal owner. Mr. Hunt would like to have interest included but
will accept a refund of the $17,100.79 paid since 1989. Although North Carolina General Statutes do not specifically make
provision for refunding more than five years of taxes, in February 2005, the Board of County Commissioners did approve a
refund of taxes, without interest, from 1973 - 2004 (Freeman $3,555.37 applied to delinquent taxes).
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
Because of the Freeman precedent, staff recommends that the Commissioners refund the amount of $17,100.79, without
interest.

Crime Scene Investigation Building
BRIEF SUMMARY:
The Board of County Commissioners sold the downtown Law Enforcement Center (LEC) to First Baptist Church on
February 21, 2005. The sale will close by the end of September. The Civil Division moved to the first floor of the Judicial
Building. The Sheriff's Administration staff moved to the new Detention Center. The State Magistrate's Office moved to the
Judicial Building as well as opening an office in the Detention Center. Emergency Management and 911 operations will be
moving in February to their new facility located at the New Hanover County Government Center. The remaining staff at the
LEC consists of the Crime Scene Investigation Unit (CSI) as well as two state employees who will be accommodated
elsewhere.
CSI investigates crime scenes that include inventory of evidence that requires space, security, and in some cases,
refrigeration. The unit also conducts ballistic analysis and other extraordinary measures that are incompatible in a
traditional business setting. County staff has reviewed alternative locations for the CSI operation that include existing
County buildings, as well as the construction of a new building at the Detention Center. The construction of a new building
at the Detention Center is the Sheriff's preferred approach, when considering operational security and efficiencies gained by
this measure. The cost of the building, estimated at $617,750, would be designed with capability for future expansion.
Funding is provided via the Sheriff's pledge of $200,000 of drug seizure funds as well as $417,750 of remaining Detention
Center funds.
Upon approval, a design of the building would be completed in October with bids presented to the Commissioners at the
November 7, 2005 agenda. Construction should be completed by July 2006.
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
Authorize staff to move forward with design of building and solicitation of bids for construction. Approve attached budget
amendment to capital project.

BRIEF SUMMARY:
On March 14, 2005 the County Commissioners approved a jointly funded Public Safety Training Facility with the City of
Wilmington and Cape Fear Community College. Since its approval, representatives from each agency have established an
Interlocal Agreement that addresses the management and operation of the center. The agreement includes the

Staff recommends the approval of the Interlocal Agreement for the Public Safety Training Facility. Staff recommends that
the appointments be the County Manager (David Weaver) and the New Hanover County Fire Chief (Donnie Hall).

Explanation: The impact to the FSD Budget is estimated to be no more than $30,000. The advisory committee will have to
be careful when setting the fees to try to keep a positive cash flow. The best case comparison is Gaston Community
College, which operates within its revenues. The net impact on the CFCC General Fund funding request is not anticipated
to be significant.
