Dear Ms. Tabron:
Enclosed please find an original and three copies of New Hanover County
Department of Social Services' Work First Demonstration Grant Proposal
Renewal entitled "Building on Strengths and Partnerships." This proposal
represents the continuation of strategies that were proving successful in our first
year grant and additional strategies to further improve our participation rates
identified through discussions and dialogues with our Work First staff and our
community partners.

the first year grant proposal.

. Regional transportation was provided to clients participating in acceptable
activities offered in Brunswick County
. Child Care Subsidies were provided to 32 children aged 6 months to 12
months so that parents could begin countable activities and secure
employment
. Three skills classes were offered by Cape Fear Community College. (This
contract is not recommended for renewal.)
. Coastal Enterprises provided six (6) vocational assessments and assisted in
the location of employment for five (5) Work First participants
. Phoenix Employment Ministries has secured employment for one (1)
Work First participant who was coded with a F status
. Wilmington Housing Authority provided two (2) Work First participants
with work experience and GED access and assisted in the placement of
one (1) client in employment

Page 2 of2
As evidence of our success in the implementation of Year One strategies, in both
February and March 2007, New Hanover County Department of Social Services
increased the Work First Participation Rate to over 50%. We also made
substantial progress in both of our Leading by Results indicators pertaining to
Work First; the % of Work First participants securing employment and % of
former Work First participants remaining off Work First.
Weare excited to continue this progress and improve not only the participation
rate for New Hanover County and as a result, North Carolina but also the chances
for a better quality of life for our Work First participants and their families.
If you have questions or need any additional information, please do not hesitate to
contact me at 910 798-3515 or Inesmith@nhcgov.com.
Sincerely,
LaVaughn Nesmith
Social Services Director

Approval of a Resolution to Authorize the NC Local Governmental Employees Retirement System to Deduct Medical

BRIEF SUMMARY:
The County's personnel policy allows its eligible retirees to continue to participate in the County's medical and dental
insurance programs. Each retiree is responsible for submitting their monthly premiums in a timely manner so that their
coverage will not lapse. The NC Local Governmental Employees Retirement System offers a service that, if authorized by
the retiree, will allow the deduction of the insurance premiums directly from the retiree's monthly benefit allowance check,
and they will submit that amount, on the retiree's behalf, to the County.
In order to participate in this program, the NC Local Governmental Employees Retirement System requires that the Board of
Commissioners adopt the attached resolution in a regularly scheduled session. Once the documents have been processed,
retirees will be notified of this option and enrolled, if they choose to participate.

Department: Museum Presenter: Ruth Haas

SUBJECT:
Approval of Museum Deaccessions
BRIEF SUMMARY:
Following completion of the 100% audit of the Museum collection in 2002, the Museum staff and Advisory Board have been
diligent about culling items from the collection that have no relevant provenance, are in very poor condition, or are duplicates
of better examples. 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. Many of the items on the list are identified for transfer to the
Demonstration Collection where they can be used in educational programs and hands-on exhibits. A number of items are
recommended for auction, a process which removes the sale from immediate conflict of interest with the Museum. Any
income earned from items sold at auction is kept in a restricted account that can only be used to conserve or purchase
artifacts to strengthen the collection. When no reuse can be identified or safety is a concern, the object is destroyed.
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
Accept the recommendation of the Museum Advisory Board to deaccession the items on the attached list from the Museum's
Permanent Collection.

Wilmington, NC 28403
Dear Chairman Caster:
As Ocean Rescue Director for the Carolina Beach Police Department, I am writing to request your support
of National Beach Safety Week May 21, 2007 - May 28, 2007. Specifically, I am asking that that you
declare New Hanover County's participation via proclamation.
Our waters can be a wonderful recreational resource, but they can also be treacherous. Lifeguards are
provided in an effort to reduce the number of accidents at our beaches, but we cannot do the job alone.
An informed public is essential to maintaining adequate levels of beach and water safety.
The objective of National Beach Safety Week is to make citizens aware of the need to be safe while in
and near the water. This objective stresses the following:
. Swim Near A Lifeguard
. Learn To Swim
. Never Swim Alone
. Don't Fight The Current
. Swim Sober
. Leash Your Board
. Don't Float Where You Can't Swim
. Life Jackets = Boating Safety
. Don't Dive Headfirst, Protect Your Neck
. At Home, You're The Lifeguard
The United States Lifesaving Association (USLA) is a national non-profit organization dedicated to
improving beach safety in America and we are an affiliate chapter of USLA. Our membership includes
professional beach lifeguards in this area, joining lifeguards from across the country.
Thank you for considering this request. Your support will help make our beaches a safer place for
residents and tourists alike.
Sincerely,
Charles G. Smith
Police Officer/Ocean Rescue Director

Public Hearing and Consideration of Approval to Submit a Joint Application with the City of Wilmington for 2007
Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Funding from the U.S. Department of Justice
BRIEF SUMMARY:
New Hanover County and the City of Wilmington are certified as disparate agencies; therefore, FY2007 JAG funding in the
amount of $133,346 is available to be split between these two law enforcement agencies with each receiving $66,673.
Submittal of a joint JAG grant application is required. The JAG grant process requires a public hearing to be held for
discussion on the use of funds. There is no local match requirement.
The Sheriff's Office portion of the 2007 JAG grant funding would be spent to purchase Live Scan equipment to process
fingerprints and palm prints to more effectively search and identify prints stored at state and federal agencies. The total cost
of this equipment is $83,040. This is $16,367 more than the JAG funding, and will be paid by the Sheriff from Federally
Forfeited Property funds.
A Memorandum of Understanding between New Hanover County and the City of Wilmington is required as part of the JAG
Grant process and is hereby attached for consideration and approval.
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
Recommend the Board of Commissioners hold a PUBLIC HEARING on the use of JAG grant funding.
After closing the public hearing, recommend approval to submit a joint 2007 JAG grant application with the City of Wilmington
and execute the required County/City Memorandum of Understanding (authorizing the County Manager to sign).

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: New Hanover County Board of Commissioners
FROM: Bill Caster, Chairman ~
DATE: May 16, 2007
RE: Water and Sewer Authority Matter - City Council May 15th Meeting
I would like to update the Board on the actions taken by the City Council during their May 15th
meeting. I attended the meeting and was able to discuss various concerns with the Council members.
Councilmember Laura Padgett made a motion to approve moving ahead with consolidation with the
following two changes:
1. There be two elected officials on the Authority Board (making the board eleven members
instead of nine); and
2. An authority member could be removed by a super-majority vote of each elected board (the
County Commissioners would need to have four votes and the City Council six votes).
Jim Quinn made a substitute motion to move ahead with the agreed upon plan. His substitute motion
was defeated 3 to 4 (voting for Saffo, Quinn and Thompson). The vote for Ms. Padgett's motion
passed 4 to 3 (voting for Padgett, Sheridan, Hankins and DeLair).
I am agreeable with the extra board member and the odds of having two boards even wanting to
remove a person and doing it with super-majority vote is pretty small. I believe we need to discuss
these new requirements and hopefully, appoint the second commissioner. My thought is that ifwe
delay then we are delaying getting the Authority in place and doing the work of putting the Transition
and Operating Agreement together. The agreement requires that the County, NBC W&S District,
City and Authority be in place.
As always, comments and recommendations appreciated.

create a water and sewer authority to operate their water system and/or sewer system.
On September 20, 2005 the Wilmington City Council and on September 19, 2005 the New
Hanover County Board of Commissioners adopted a concurrent resolution setting forth their

directed City and County staff to research and develop a proposed implementation plan to
include, legal, financial, engineering and administrative issues relating to the consolidation of
water and sewer utilities and to present the final plan to them and to hold a public hearing.
The City and County engaged Municipal & Financial Services Group (MFSG) as the Project
Manager to plan for the consolidation and formed the joint Water Sewer Advisory Committee to
guide the consolidation and to make recommendations to the City and County governing bodies
regarding creation of a consolidated water and sewer authority for the City and County water and
sewer systems, excluding stormwater.
MFSG developed a consolidation plan and implementation schedule that identifies
responsibilities, organization structure, time line and preliminary utility rates and fees.
The Water Sewer Advisory Committee has made its recommendations to the City Council and
Board of Commissioners, including a recommendation to create an Authority pursuant to the
Act.
In accordance with the requirements of the Act, pursuant to notice a public hearing was held
before the Wilmington City Council and New Hanover County Board of Commissioners, and
they have determined that it is in the best interest of the City and County to create the Cape Fear
Public Utility Authority pursuant to the provisions of the Act and desire to do so by the adoption
of concurrent resolutions.
The City of Wilmington and New Hanover County desire to create the Cape Fear Public Utility
73
Authority to operate their water and sewer systems, excluding stormwater.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE WILMINGTON CITY COUNCIL AND THE
BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF NEW HANOVER COUNTY THAT:

Contact: Dave Weaver
SUBJECT:
Request for Funding for Dredging of Carolina Beach Inlet
BRIEF SUMMARY:
The attached letter from Chairman Caster to the Board indicates that the State may request funding for the dredging of
Carolina Beach Inlet. The cost would be $400,000, with $300,000 coming from the State and $100,000 coming from the
County and/or the Towns of Carolina and Kure Beach. Since this project would not be beach nourishment, it cannot be paid
for from the 3% Room Occupancy Tax (ROT) dedicated for combating beach erosion, but it could come from the 3% ROT
that is tourism-related.
The County should consider that the Federal government has traditionally been responsible for shallow inlet dredging, e.g.
Carolina Beach Inlet. If the Federal government continues its new policy of not funding these dredging projects, it is possible
the tourism economy of Pleasure Island may be hurt.
Mayors Clark and Fuller, along with Rick Catlin, Chairman of the Port, Waterway and Beach Commission, will present this
item.
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
The Board should listen to the presentation and consider whether or not to participate in the project.

TO: New Hanover County Board of Commissioners
FROM: Bill Caster, Chairman ~~
MAY --
DATE: May 3, 2007
RE: Carolina Beach Inlet Dredging
Several weeks ago, I was informed by Rick Catlin, Chairman ofthe Port, Waterway and Beach Commission that
John Morris, Division of Water Resources Director, stated the Carolina Beach Inlet needed to be dredged two
more times this fiscal year. The cost would be $400,000 and Mr. Morris' office has $300,000. He is asking New
Hanover County and/or local governments to pickup the remaining $100,000. I sent an e-mail to the Board,
with a copy to the Mayors of Carolina Beach and Kure Beach, asking for comments (copy attached). The only
response was verbally from Commissioner Kopp who questioned why Mr. Morris was making this request to Mr.
Catlin and his concern for us getting involved in what has been a Federal function. After a further discussion
with Mr. Catlin, I learned that he spoke with Mr. Morris about this matter during an Army Corps of Engineers
meeting. A copy of the e-mail to the Board regarding this conversation is attached.
In order to have potential solutions to this problem, I have considered the following:
a. Use of the first 3% ROT is not appropriate.
b. Use of the second 3% ROT by the beach towns is appropriate.
During a Port, Waterway and Beach Commission meeting, I asked Mayors Clark and Fuller if they would
consider using $25,000 from each of their second 3% ROT for a total of $50,000 and the County would
consider using $50,000 from fund balance. Of course, realizing these decisions would require board approval
by all three boards, Mayors Clark and Fuller, along with Mr. Catlin, will appear before our May 21st meeting to
present this proposal. Mr. Catlin will also present the findings of the recent study on the importance of the AICW
to North Carolina.
I discussed these issues with Mr. Morris on May 1st and requested a letter be sent to the Board requesting
$100,000 for the two dredgings. Please note, this cost sharing is going on around the State and we are lucky
the General Assembly did budget funds in view of the Federal government's reluctance to provide funding.
During the Port, Waterway and Beach Commission meeting, there was discussion of organizing a study group
to develop long-range strategic plans to provide possible solutions to these issues, if the funding situations from
the Federal government continue to be problematical. If you all agree, I think we should task the Port,
Waterway and Beach Commission with developing a long-range strategic plan. Just as an example, do we
need to revisit the ROT distributions, both the first and second 30.10?
Your comments and thoughts would be appreciated.

Subject: FW: Carolina Beach Inlet
All, Just talked with Rick Catlin again. The conversation with John Morris took place at a meeting held in Wilmington and
hosted by the Corps. I had received an e-mail invitation. but could not attend. I am not sure who all was invited. In the
discussion that went on, John Morris mentioned the plan for CB Inlet that I reported on in the e-mail below. I did not realize
that the General Assembly had money in the budget for inlet dredging knowing full well that Federal funding was
problematical. Rick was simply passing on to me what was said at the meeting. John knows that Rick is our "to go guy"
concerning these type issues. I did not mention it in the first e-mail I sent (see below). but I was going to raise the
possibility of the beach communities using their portion of the second 3% ROT. Right off hand, I am not sure how much
money that would be from Carolina Beach and Kure Beach. Avril Pender can help us out with those numbers. We have to
come to grips with this issue one way or another. Other counties are partnering with the State and putting in their own
money. I know it is unpleasant, sets precedence and is on the slippery slope. What is the answer other than the Federal
Government doing what it should be doing? Unless I hear objections, I think we need to hear from Rick, remembering he
is just the messenger; it could have been one of us if we had attended the meeting. He also needs to update us on the
recently completed AIWW study. Thanks. Bill

Subject: Carolina Beach Inlet
All, Rick Catlin called me several days ago with the following information: He had been in contact with John Morris,
Director of the State's Water Resources. John said that Carolina Beach Inlet needs to dredge two more times this year Ot
has already been dredged twice). The total costs would be $400,000. The State is welling to pay $300,000 if local
government(s) pickup the remaining $100,000. The Corps does not have the money to do the dredging. A side-cast
dredge would be used, so putting the sand on a beach is not possible. I have asked Rick to make presentation at our May
21st commissioners' meeting. We don't believe time is of an essence, but if it is I will move Rick's presentation to our May
7th meeting. Since the first 3% ROT is not being considered for use, we are not going to call meeting of the Ports,
Waterway and Beach Commission. Thanks, Bill
I would appreciate Mayor Clark's and Mayor Fuller's comments and input. Thanks, Bill

Mr. William A. Caster, Chairman jL::J
New Hanover County Board of Commissioners
230 Government Center Drive, Suite 175 NEW HANDVU, CO
Wilmington, NC 28403 BD OF COMMISSIONlHS
Dear Mr. Caster:
I am writing to consult with New Hanover County on a possible cooperative effort to assure the maintenance
dredging of Carolina Beach Inlet. The federal budget for this fiscal year did not include funding for the US Army
Corps of Engineers to do the regular maintenance dredging that is required to keep the inlet open for navigation.
We are concerned that without regular maintenance, the navigation conditions at the inlet will become dangerous
and eventually the Coast Guard may have to remove the navigation markers. We know that having this inlet closed
for navigation will provide a serious economic hardship for those businesses which are dependent on serving
recreational boaters and fishermen, as well as other users of the inlets such as commercial fishermen and party boats.
Allowing extensive shoaling to develop at the inlet will make the eventual reopening of the inlet even more
expensive and difficult to fund.
The North Carolina General Assembly has appropriated funds to the Division of Water Resources for dredging
contingencies. We are able to offer funding of about $300,000 or 75% of the estimated costs of maintaining the inlet
this year if New Hanover County can match our funds with 25% local funds, up to $100,000.
We and others are continuing to work toward a resumption offederal funding to the Corps of Engineers to carry out
the authorized maintenance of Carolina Beach Inlet along with the other inlets and shallow draft channels in North
Carolina. Until we are successful in getting regular federal funding restored, we believe that it may be prudent to
supplement federal funding during this interim period to avoid serious economic losses for our coastal communities.
We appreciate the opportunity to discuss the options for maintenance of Carolina Beach Inlet with New Hanover
County. We will need to receive your response within a month in order to be able to request the Corps of Engineers
to schedule the use of their dredging equipment for Carolina Beach Inlet. Please give me a call if you want to
discuss our options further.
Sincerely,
rqJ.~

New Hanover County Board of Commissioners

To the Commissioners of New Hanover County:
I have lived in Wilmington since July of 1992 when I separated from the United States Navy. Since
moving here, I have served as the President of the Lansdowne Neighborhood Association, worked with
handicapped children during the Special Olympics Summer Day Camp and a program called TOP Soccer,
volunteered with the NJROTC Program at John T. Hoggard and briefly with the Health Department. I have
proudly served in the North Carolina Army National Guard and am currently serving in the Navy Reserves.
I have a total of twenty two years in the military. Between working, volunteering, serving and attending
classes at Cape Fear Community College, I have met many extraordinary people and have learned a great
deal about the programs available in New Hanover County. I try to spread the word about various programs
and services available when I see or hear a need and would be honored to serve on the New Hanover
County Commission for Women Committee.
I think my military background and the trials and tribulations that I have gone through while raising a
handicapped child and two other children equip me with the skills necessary to aide the committee in further
promoting and evaluating the programs available in New Hanover County.
I thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
tk

Dear County Commissioners:
For 34 years I have worked as a consulting engineer in New Hanover County. I recently
closed my practice to semi-retire and I am currently teaching full time in the
Architectural Technology Program in the Engineering Department at Cape Fear
Community College.
During my 34 years I am one of few local engineers who has never served on the
Planning Board at least once and I would like to serve a term.
The additional beneficiaries would be my students (about 50 per year) with whom I can
share my experience. These students are studying to be technicians and will be
preparing documents for planning board review in their various jobs with engineers and
surveyors around the county when they graduate.
I would like to stay involved in community activities and I ask that you appoint for a term
to the planning board this year.
~'/JjSidemtion,
Glenn A. Davis, P .E.

Dear Commissioner Greer: NEW HANOVER CO i
SD. OE COMMISSIONERS .J
This is a follow-up to my letter to you [in January of this yea]r, in which I requested that I
be considered for a position on either the new Water and Sewer Board or on the Planning
Board.
I have attached my previous letter plus a completed committee application for the new
Water and Sewer Board... ... ... ....1 feel that my background and in-depth experience
could be of value to this Board..An additional review of my attached letter may be of
help to you when considering my application. I have taken the liberty of copying my
credentials to the rest of the County Commissioners. In addition to the application and
letter, I have also enclosed a short article from American City and County magazine,
which speaks to the solving of odor problems at my former regional wastewater facility..I
also was written up in Water Engineering and Management magazine.
Thank you very much for the opportunity to serve on this very important Water and
Sewer Board. I think that you will find my experience and qualifications a defmite asset
to the needs of this community. I will look forward to hearing from you at your earliest
convenience. I am available for an interview at the Commissioners' request.
Sincerely,

SUBJECT:
Condemnation of Sixty Foot (60') Wide Access Easement Known as lendire Road and Existing 40' Drainage
Easement for Water and Sewer Purposes
BRIEF SUMMARY:
New Hanover County had directed a private developer, Bill Clark Homes (BCH) of Wilmington, LLC, as part of his
development design, to build a regional lift station within their "Covington Subdivision" site. This lift station will not only serve
their development, but adjacent tracts in the area. As part of their sewer project, they are required to obtain an easement
from an adjacent property owner, Coswald, LLC, in and along an existing drainage ditch and platted 60' access easement
known as Lendire Road (access road was previously conveyed to the County by developers of the Jacob's Ridge/Planters
Walk development). These easements exist as private drainage easements and were not originally offered for dedication to
the County for public use, when platted.
BCH spent many months working with the representatives and owners of Coswald, LLC to build a sewer system that would
benefit both developments now and in the future. BCH designed, permitted and is prepared to build a regional lift station.
BCH redesigned the lift station as part of their easement negotiations, to accommodate sewer needs on the property owned
by Coswald, LLC. However, even with this effort, Coswald, LLC will not execute the easement agreement.
New Hanover County has reviewed documentation from BCH, listing their extensive negotiations to acquire this easement.
County staff attempted a final discussion with a representative of Coswald, LLC concerning the necessity for this easement,
however, it was not possible to come to an agreement. New Hanover County Engineering Staff has deemed this easement,
along and within an existing drainage easement and access road (previously offered for conveyance by developers of the
Jacob's Ridge/Planters Walk development) to be necessary for the good of the community. Consistent with utility extension
projects, the installation of sewer will increase the value of the adjacent property. Additionally, no loss of use will be
experienced by the adjacent property by limiting the utility activities within existing drainage easements. In consideration of
these factors, staff does not feel additional compensation is warranted.
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
Staff recommends that the resolution for condemnation, if necessary, be approved with authorization for the Chairman to
execute, if necessary.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Will above action result in: No Change In Position(s) Number of Positions:
Explanation: No budget money involved.

A RESOLUTION
OF THE
NEW HANOVER COUNTY WATER AND SEWER DISTRICT
WHEREAS, it is necessary for construction of utilities to acquire
permanent water and sewer utility easements, on the property of Coswald, LLC,
Deed Book 2601, Page 503, New Hanover County Registry, more specifically
described as a sixty foot (60') wide permanent utility easement on, over and
across that existing sixty foot (60') wide access easement known as Lendire
Road, commencing at the intersection of said road with Market Street (U.S.
Highway #17), thence running 680.48 feet to intersect with a forty foot (40') wide
drainage easement; also a forty foot (40') wide utility easement on, over and
across that forty foot (40') wide drainage easement, commencing at its
intersection with Lendire Road, thence running 1079.43 feet to an iron pipe, as
shown in Map Book 4, Page 212, New Hanover County Registry.
WHEREAS, it is necessary to utilize the District's power of eminent
domain to acquire the above referenced easement in that negotiations to acquire
said easement have been unsuccessful in obtaining the property owner's
consent.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of
Commissioners of the New Hanover County Water and Sewer District hereby
resolves that the necessary easement on, over and across the Coswald
property, Tax Parcel No. R04400-001-003-000, Deed Book 2601, Page 503,

REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION
Meeting Date: OS/21/07
Water & Sewer Item #: 5 Estimated Time: Page Number:
Department: Water & Sewer District Presenter: Greg Thompson
Contact: Christine Neal
SUBJECT:
Purchase of Property Located at 6337 Oleander Drive
Tax Parcel No. R05620 002 013 000
BRIEF SUMMARY:
New Hanover County Engineering Department has been working with the City of Wilmington on the upgrade and expansion
of the Bradley Creek Lift Station. This lift station, in recent years, has experienced capacity issues and the expansion work is
in conjunction with the necessary improvements currently underway to alleviate problems with the NEI.
In order to do this work and to protect access to the station for future work, it will be necessary to acquire additional property
adjacent to the existing lift station. County staff acquired the property to the west of this site, at no cost to the County, in
March of this year, from the North Carolina Department of Transportation. While this tract of land will provide a small area
for use, the property to the south of this lift station would need to be acquired for the majority of this expansion work. This
property is currently owned by Mr. John Lebenich and is rented for commercial use.
County staff began negotiations with Mr. Lebenich in December of 2006, and an offer has been made in the amount of
$750,000 for this property. A professional appraisal of the property has been performed and County staff feels his property
price is in agreement with recent area sales. Staff requests that the Board approve the funds for the purchase of this very
necessary piece of property.
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
Staff asks that the Board approve the purchase of this property and the associated budget amendment 07-238.
