Addition of Position Classifications for Pretrial Release Program
BRIEF SUMMARY:
A review of duties performed by Pretrial Release Program staff has been conducted by the Human Resources Department.
Per that review, two positions are hereby requested to be reclassified. The recommended reclassifications are not
included in the County's current position classification descriptions, and must be approved by the Board of County
Commissioners prior to reclassification.
It is recommended that one Pretrial Release Coordinator - Pay Grade 2300 be reclassified to that of Senior Pretrial Release
Coordinator - Pay Grade 2431, as a result of supervisory responsibilities being performed, in addition to case manager
duties. The second position recommended to be changed is that of Administrative Support Technician - Grade 2100 to
Pretrial Release Specialist - Grade 3200, as a result of specialized duties now performed related to management/monitoring
of civil cases (i.e. child support) for eligible defendants. Other positions in the department are appropriately classified. The
reclassifications will not necessitate modification of current salaries for either of the employees.
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
Request County Commissioners' approval of position classifications of Senior Pretrial Release Coordinator at Pay Grade
2431 and Pretrial Release Specialist at Pay Grade 3200, to be included in the County's position classification descriptions.

Department: Health Presenter: Dr. Jean McNeil, Animal Control Services Manager
Contact: Dr. Jean McNeil
SUBJECT:
Revision to New Hanover County Code, Section 5-4 Definitions: Animals & Fowl
BRIEF SUMMARY:
The following is a suggested change to the New Hanover County Code regarding control of dogs as enforced by Animal
Control Services (ACS). Issues have been reviewed and supported by County Legal, ACS staff, and the ACS Advisory
Committee. The suggested change is underlined.
CURRENT: Sec. 5-4. Definitions.
Restraint means the state of a dog 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 dog 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. A dog shall be maintained securely on the property of its owner. Ropes, chains, and the like shall not
constitute adequate security under this chapter.
PROPOSED: Sec. 5-4. Definitions.
Restraint means the state of a dog if it is controlled by means of an attended 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 dog 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. A dog shall be maintained securely on the property of its owner. Ropes, chains and the like are
prohibited for any purpose under this Chapter.
ACS received a customer complaint regarding wording of the tethering ordinance. Staff met with the ACS Advisory
Committee and the individual to review potential changes to the law. The committee suggested the proposed change
based on recommendation of Kemp Burpeau, Deputy County Attorney. The change reflected should eliminate any
uncertainty in understanding the intent of the law.
The committee felt that the ordinance should be maintained and revised for better clarity. They believe that New Hanover
County should keep this law in place for the continued protection of the dogs in our jurisdiction. The proposed method of tie
out was not deemed acceptable by the group. It also would lend itself to citizen misunderstanding and abuse of the
intended protection measures against tethering.

CA-MRSA Prevalence in North Carolina Child Care Centers
Background: Community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) is becoming
an increasingly important disease entity for which the prevalence and risk factors in the pediatric
population are incompletely described. While hospital-associated MRSA (HA-MRSA) is an established
worldwide problem linked to defined risk factors, there are now numerous reports of MRSA infections that
cause skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) and fatal necrotizing pneumonia in children without well-
defined risk factors. The CDC estimates that at least 12% of clinical MRSA infections are community-
associated, but this number is steadily increasing. One recent study found that subjects less than two years
of age had a higher incidence of acquiring a CA-MRSA infection than those who are older (Fridkin et aI.,
2005). CA-MRSA strains characteristically carry the type IV SCCmec (Staphylococcal chromosomal
cassette gene) and harbor the Panton-Valentine Leukocidin (PVL) virulence factor. This study seeks to
define the prevalence and risk factors for CA-MRSA carriage in the pediatric population that attends child
care centers (CCCs). To help understand, control, and ultimately prevent and eliminate CA-MRSA
infections, it is critical to understand the prevalence and risk factors for CA-MRSA in this population as
these strains will likely spread throughout CCCs affecting multiple children and families.
Obiective(s) and Hypothesis(es):
1. To assess the prevalenceofCA-MRSA carriage in infants and toddlers in multiple NC CCCs.
2. To assess the risk factors for CA-MRSA colonization among infants (>12 mos) and toddlers (1-4 yrs.).
3. To determine the antibiotic susceptibility, SCCmec type, and PVL prevalence among MRSA strains.
4. To determine the relatedness of CA-MRSA strains using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE).
We hypothesize that the CA-MRSA strains will harbor SCCmec type IV, carry the PVL genes, and
generally be resistant only to B-Iactam and macrolide antibiotics. We estimate that the prevalence of CA-
MRSA carriage will be 2-5% and that some of the risk factors for carriage will be poor hygiene and
crowding. Further, the prevalence in classrooms will be bimodal indicating child-to-child transmission as
determined by molecular analysis.
Design: The prevalence ofCA-MRSA carriage will be assessed using nasal swabs by means of a cross-
sectional prevalence study in selected NC CCCs. All infants or toddlers will be eligible for inclusion, and
we hope to obtain at least 2000 nasal swabs. The study will be conducted with IRB approval and over-seen
by co-investigators with over 20 years of experience in epidemiology and CCCs research in facilities and
laboratories that are approved by UNC.
After we identify the number of children in NC CCCs that are colonized with MRSA and MSSA,
we will assess the risk factors for CA-MRSA carriage by entering children from the same classroom into a
case-control study (1 case ofCA-MRSA to 4 MSSA controls). Risk factors for CA-MRSA colonization
will be determined via questionnaires about the lives of the carriers. Collectively, these data will help us
define the factors that put the children at risk for harboring CA-MRSA.
The antibiotic susceptibility ofMRSA strains will be assessed using CLSI criteria. PVL will be
detected using a multiplex real-time PCR assay. PCR will be used for SCCmec typing and PFGE will be
performed on the isolates to determine if there is any evidence of clonal spread.
Potential Impact: This study will be the first to determine the prevalence of CA-MRSA colonization
among large numbers of children in multiple CCCs. Risk factors for colonization will be identified and
compared to risk factors reported in the literature for children ascertained via hospitalization or physician
visits. The data obtained from this study will help physicians identify CA-MRSA infections and treat them
properly to promote rapid eradication to eliminate progression to more serious infections. This study will
significantly contribute to the understanding of the epidemiology ofCA-MRSA in the pediatric population.
Comparing clones may help identifY the source of the infection and hopefully help to eliminate or control
it.

Lay Summary: CA-MRSA Prevalence in North Carolina Child Care Centers
Background: Staphylococcus aureus (SA) is the most prevalent bacterial pathogen in hospitals accounting
for 10-20% of hospital-associated infections. In the community, it is also an important pathogen causing
many types of infections. Recently, a new type of SA has emerged: community-associated methicillin-
resistant SA (CA-MRSA). This strain has unique genes that allow it to infect people with greater
frequency and cause more damage. Studies have shown that CA-MRSA infects younger populations and is
especially problematic in children and adolescents that participate in group activities. Since CA-MRSA is
recently described, little is known about the frequency and severity of infections especially among children
attending child care centers (CCCs). With at least 32% of U.S. children in CCCs, specific knowledge about
CA-MRSA in this setting is critical to prevent and control infection.
Obiective(s) and Hvpothesis(es): We will determine the rates for CA-MRSA colonization (presence of
bacteria without infection) in multiple CCCs in NC; we estimate that the prevalence of CA-MRSA carriage
will be 2-5%. We will identify risk factors for CA-MRSA colonization from questionnaires about the lives
ofthe carriers. We will use state-of-the art molecular analyses to characterize the CA-MRSA isolates and
hypothesize that CA-MRSA strains from different centers will have similar genes and infectivity.
Potential Impact: This is the first study to look at the frequency ofCA-MRSA colonization risk factors in
the pediatric population of multiple CCCs. This study aims to collect both field and laboratory data that
will contribute to understanding this critical public health problem in an effort to contain or eliminate CA-
MRSA infections.

Approval of the New Hanover County Planning Department's Membership in the Cape Fear Arch Conservation
Collaboration
BRIEF SUMMARY:
The Cape Fear Arch is a region of high biological diversity extending from Cape Romain to Cape Lookout that supports
nationally significant occurrences of animal and plant communities. The Arch has been identified in N.C.'s Wildlife Action
Plan, the Nature Conservancy's Mid-Atlantic Coastal Plan Ecoregional Plan, and by One North Carolina Naturally as one of
the highest priority areas for conservation efforts in the Mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain.
Many organizations and individuals are interested in realizing a vision for this region. These entities have recognized the
importance of coordinating efforts in the region to avoid duplication of effort and missed opportunities, leading to the
formation of the Cape Fear Arch Conservation Collaboration. Participating organizations in the Collaborative will work
together to identify potential conservation opportunities and resource issues in the Cape Fear Arch Region in order to
protect ecologically significant areas or develop in a manner where economic and ecological interests are more balanced.
Organizations participating in the Collaborative represent a broad spectrum of government agencies, land managers and
land conservation advocates with differing missions. Organizations will work together in a manner that is within each
organization's authority and consonant with that organization's mission.
The County will not be required to contribute financially and staff time will be minimal. Authorizing the signing of the
Memorandum of Understanding (contract # 07-0313) expresses the County's willingness to participate in this important
endeavor.
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
Recommend that the Board of Commissioners authorize the County Manager to sign the Cape Fear Arch Conservation
Collaboration Memorandum of Understanding (NHC Contract # 07-0313) authorizing the New Hanover County Planning
Department's membership into the Cape Fear Arch Conservation Collaboration.

Cape Fear Arch Conservation Collaborative Agenda Item
Summary
The Cape Fear Arch is a geological region extending from the northeast coastal plain of
South Carolina to the southeast coastal plain of North Carolina that is slightly uplifted
relative to the rest of the coastal plain. The region is one of particularly high biological
diversity and supports nationally significant occurrences of animal and plant
communities. As a result an abundance of natural resources, this region provides many
opportunities to enjoy fishing, hunting, camping, hiking, canoeing, and other natural
resource based outdoor recreation activities. Many residents, permanent and seasonal,
have chosen the area because of the opportunities afforded by the natural environment.
The Cape Fear Arch has been identified in North Carolina's Wildlife Action Plan, the
Nature Conservancy's Mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain Ecoregional Plan, and by One North
Carolina Naturally as one of the highest priority areas for conservation efforts in the Mid-
Atlantic Coastal Plain. For this reason, many organizations and individuals are interested
in realizing a vision for this region where economic and ecological interests are more
balanced. These organizations have recognized the importance of coordinating efforts in
the region to avoid duplication of efforts and missed opportunities, leading to the
formation of the Cape Fear Arch Conservation Collaboration.
Organizations participating in the Cape Fear Arch Conservation Collaboration represent a
broad spectrum of government agencies, land managers and land conservation advocates.
The groups have differing missions, therefore, work is to be accomplished in a manner
that is within each organization's authority and consonant with the differing
organizations' missions. The participating organizations will attempt to foresee potential
conservation opportunities and resource issues and work to maintain and protect
ecologically viable and significant areas.
Memorandum of Understandin2 (MOU)
The purpose of the Memorandum of Understanding is to recognize our willingness to
participate in this important endeavor. Any party to the MOU may withdraw at any time
in writing. The MOD does not commit the County to any funding, nor does it prohibit
the County from participating in other similar activities.
Goals identified in the MOD include:
. To identify and map the highest priority habitats and species in need of
conservation attention in the region;
. To promote the conservation, restoration, health and sustainable use of the
landscape and the native terrestrial and aquatic communities that depend, in whole
or in part, on the lands and waters of the Cape Fear Arch focus area;
. To encourage public/private partnerships among participating govemmental
agencies, community and nongovernmental organizations, academic institutions,
corporations, and private landowners to enhance resources and achieve land
conservation results on a landscape scale;
25
. To enhance coordination among participants concerning current and future
initiatives such that participants will be able to take better advantage of the work
already being done by others, as well as identify opportunities for working
together to undertake more ambitious projects than any single participant's

Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness
BRIEF SUMMARY:
There are at least 592 homeless persons in New Hanover County, 208 (35%) of whom are chronically homeless. Many
homeless persons become detainees/inmates at the New Hanover County Detention Center. Additionally, statistics show
that the homeless consume a disproportionate amount of federal resources, and local resources in hospital/emergency
rooms, detoxification centers, mental health/substance abuse services, and emergency shelters.
A strategic approach is necessary to address these issues. A community collaborative of public and private sector
representatives is committed to developing a "Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness" in this area. To do so effectively,
requires: 1) determination of the homeless sub-populations to be targeted by the plan; 2) identification of needs and gaps
in services; 3) identification of opportunities available; 4) adoption of a viable plan; and 5) implementation of necessary
strategies to end homelessness. This effort will also require a full commitment at all levels. Collaborative participants are
requested to contribute financially to the success of these efforts. An investment of $15,000 from New Hanover County will
assist in moving this effort forward.
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
Hear presentation.

New Hanover County
Community Child Protection Team Report
January - December 2006
PROBLEM STATEMENT
According to Black's Law Dictionary, Fifth Edition, child abuse is "any form of cruelty
to a child's physical, moral or mental well-being..." North Carolina General Statutes
defines child abuse and neglect as two separate categories. The New Hanover
County Department of Social Services responds to allegations of abuse and neglect
by applying the Multiple Response System (MRS), which is a two-prong approach:
The Family Assessment track, used in neglect cases, and the Forensic track, used
for all abuse and serious neglect cases.
In 1991, Community Child Protection Teams were established as one means for the state
and local communities to form a partnership to strengthen child protection. The original
purpose of the team was further formalized and expanded by G.S. 78 1406, effective July
1, 1993. The CCPT Mission Statement reads:
Recognizing that child protection is the responsibility of everyone, and
responding to child protection needs is more effective before a child is harmed:
the Community Child Protection Team, a team composed of agency
representatives, child advocates and citizens-at-Iarge, will take action to identify
and address gaps or deficiencies in services and resources through the annual
report to the Board of County Commissioners, collaboration with community
partners, promoting public awareness, and advocating for action that addresses
the child protection needs of each county.
GAPS/BARRIERS
In 2006, the New Hanover Community Child Protection Team (CCPT) reviewed 17 cases
(7 abuse; 10 neglect) involving substantiated abuse or neglect, and which were identified
as having gaps/barriers in accessing community resources. These involved financial
barriers, transportation needs, failed community systems between resources, procedural
barriers, inadequate services, etc.
The following list outlines the critical gaps in services identified by the CCPT participants:
. Lack of mental health services.
[Comment: The restructuring of mental health seNices at the State level has
increased the difficulties of providing local mental health seNices in the following
areas.]
>- minimal therapeutic services that address concerns of children who have
been abused or exhibit inappropriate sexualized behaviors.
Page 1 of 5
58
~ minimal services/therapists that practice 'play therapy' for children three
and younger.
~ minimal comprehensive family intervention services.
~ very limited therapeutic placements available within a reasonable
distance for children with severe mental or physical health issues.
)> lack of services/placements for teens with severe behavioral or
delinquency issues.
[Comment: There has been an increase in calls from parents with teens who
are exhibiting behavioral problems and the parents no longer can/want to deal
with the situation. The parents are asking to have teens placed out of the
home due to their behavior.}
~ lack of Level IV and Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility (PRTF)
group home placements for teens. Teens are currently placed in Level
III homes and then are discharged for exhibiting the same disruptive
behaviors that caused them to be initially placed in that same group
home.
~ lack of a resource guide that lists currently available mental health
therapists and services.
~ lack of Spanish-speaking therapists treating abused children.
~ insufficient and targeted emergency funding for children who have
insufficient insurance coverage or are undocumented.
~ no available resources for long-term in-home intensive parenting
programs/mentoring for developmentally-delayed parents.
~ insufficient number of personnel trained in Child Forensic Evaluation
procedures.
. Insufficient community education about:
~ effects of domestic violence on children.
[Comment: Child abuse occurs in 30% - 60% of family violence cases. In
homes where partner abuse occurs, children are 1500 times more likely to be
abused. In addition, children who have experienced domestic violence have
lower school performance, higher delinquency rates, and various health
problems.]
)> effects of sexual assault on children.
[Comment: A recent University of Pennsylvania study found that "...a
disproportionate number of street youth have histories of recurrent physical or
sexual abuse at home and took to the streets in a desperate effort to bring their
abuse to an end. .. .Ironically, running away from home increases their risk of
physical violence and sexual abuse...Most children in the study were white
youth who had run away from middle-class homes.. .Less than 25% came from
impoverished families. .. Summary: many sexually abused children, who do not
receive treatment, run away to escape abuse and subsequently become
victimized in commercial sex. Many of the victimizers are married white men.]

59
. Additional law enforcement personnel to investigate and work with the
District Attorney's office to prosecute an increasing number of reports of
substantiated abuse and serious neglect.
. Very limited out-of-home placements for children of other cultures.
. Safe Surrender Law - The current law does not allow a mother to surrender
her child under certain circumstances.
[Comment: For example, if a mother checks herself into the hospital and gives birlh,
she can not surrender her child under the law because she has already given
identifying information. Her only option would be to relinquish her parental rights and
the child can be cleared for adoption.]
. Lack of mentoring services through the faith community for 'one-on-one' with
teens and families.
[Comment: Services through the faith community either work with the teens or the
parents only. There are no services available that work with the family as a whole.]
SERVICE DELIVERY NEEDS
The New Hanover County community must become proactive in its awareness and
prevention of child sexual violence. Emphasis should be on child sexual abuse, and
sexual violence as a major factor in many domestic violence cases. The CCPT has
identified the following needs and the actions needed to address them.
. increase access for children to additional mental health and counseling
services, including comprehensive family services and 'play' therapy.
. increase amount of community-wide education and services for children and
their families regarding:
0 sexual assault and domestic violence issues and prevention;
0 identify age-appropriate sexuality education for children and their
caregivers;
0 expand adolescent education to include how to deal with rape and
domestic violence abuse issues.
. increase funding for The Carousel Center which treated 105 New Hanover
County children in 2006, compared to 82 the previous year, a 28% increase
of new clients.
[Comment: 90% of the allegations involve sexual abuse. 85% of the children are
age 11 and under. A 4-year-old is the most likely age seen. In 46% of the cases,
charges were filed. Convictions were received in 86% of the cases filed.]
. implement a continuing education program with New Hanover Regional
Medical Center's Emergency Department personnel to increase awareness
and recognition of child abuse and neglect, as well as, the required reporting
procedures.
. continue recruitment of 'rostered' Child Medical Examiners to address the
increasing number of child sexual and physical abuse cases.
Page 3 of 5

abuse or neglect.
. Facilitated two (2) successful Safe Surrenders using the 2004 adopted Safe
Surrender program guidelines.
. Restructured monthly CCPT group to improve the efficiency and
effectiveness of the members.

meetings. Agencies attending CCPT assisted DSS with accessing services for
children.]

Attn: County Manager Bruce Shell
230 Marketplace Drive, Suite 175
Wilmington, NC 28403
Dear Mr. Shell,
As you are aware, the Town of Carolina Beach is patrolling and enforcing regulations in
the area known as "Freeman Park" or in the past "The Northend" by way of a simple
ordinance and an inter-local agreement with New Hanover County. The area of
Freeman Park currently consists of land that is located within the municipal limits of the
Town and land within the unincorporated area of New Hanover County. The Town
recently completed its second full summer season managing this area and felt that
some ordinance revisions were necessary to better manage the area.
Since the area is located in the unincorporated area of New Hanover County, we would
like for the County Commissioners to consider adopting the following ordinance placing
it in whatever format necessary for adoption. The new ordinance is a culmination of the
Town's existing ordinance, County ordinances, existing ordinances that are current
regulations in the municipal limits, and new regulations proposed by the Carolina Beach
Town Council, the Freeman Park Committee and Town Staff. I have provided you with
the ordinance that was adopted by the Carolina Beach Town Council. Also, I have
given you a copy of a map of "Freeman Park" that can be attached for future reference.
Finally, a copy of the inter-local agreement with the County and the prior ordinance has
been attached for your review.
65
In closing, the Town would like for the County to consider adopting the attached
ordinance so that there is one document that can be referred to as it relates to the
management and regulation of Freeman Park. I have forwarded a copy of this to Town
Attorney AI Clyburn and recommend that the County Attorney and our Town Attorney
review this document and discuss. If you would like for me to present this ordinance or
discuss the reason for undertaking the change, please contact me at (910) 458-2994.
Sincerely,
~~~4
Town Manager

An Ordinance Amending
Chapter 11 - Parks and Recreation
Article IV. Freeman Park
Section 11- 43. Description of Freeman Park
"Freeman Park" at Carolina Beach is the area of unincorporated New Hanover
County beginning at the northern boundary of the Town of Carolina Beach, and
including all land from that boundary to the Carolina Beach Inlet on the north,
which is bounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the east, and the Intra-coastal
Waterway on the west. This ordinance is also intended to manage the portion of
"Freeman Park" that is located within the municipal limits of the Town of Carolina
Beach extending from the entry of the park to the town limits line. Freeman Park
has numerous markers located along the fence line that separate the sand
(public) portion of the beach from private property. A map of the area considered
as "Freeman Park" located within the municipal limits of Carolina Beach and
within the unincorporated limits of New Hanover County and which will be
considered for the enforcement of the following rules and regulations will be kept
by the Town Clerk of the Town of Carolina Beach and should be referred to for
future reference.
Section 11- 44. Freeman Park Management Plan
It is the intent of the Freeman Park Management Plan to protect the environment
and public interest along the incorporated and unincorporated northern boundary
of the Town of Carolina Beach known as Freeman Park. The management plan
not only addresses activity in the designated public vehicular areas (east of the
designated no trespassing areas) but also addresses private property located
west of the public vehicular areas.
68
The Freeman Park Management Plan shall apply to all vehicles, vessel(s),
owners and guests entering Freeman Park. Any violators of federal law(s) or
regulations, North Carolina laws or regulations, New Hanover County codes or
ordinances or Carolina Beach codes or ordinances would result in cause for
eviction from Freeman Park and revocation of the Freeman Park vehicular
access permit and shall be grounds for immediate prosecution under the
provisions of North Carolina statutes and/or county or town codes or ordinances.
Section 11- 45. liability
The Town of Carolina Beach assumes no liability for the use of Freeman Park.
The town neither assumes nor accepts responsibility for personal possessions,
vehicles, vessels or their contents or use while said vehicles and vessels are
located within Freeman Park. Persons using Freeman Park shall assume all risk
of personal injury and damage and loss of their property. The town assumes no
risk due to accident, fire, theft, vandalism or acts of God.
Section 11- 46. Careless and Reckless Driving
North Carolina motor vehicle and traffic laws apply in Freeman Park. Vehicles
must be operated in a safe manner that does not endanger or jeopardize the
safety of the driver, passengers and other people and wildlife at Freeman Park.

Motorcycles, A TVs, trailers (including boat and campers) are prohibited from
being operated and/or parked within Freeman Park. This section shall not apply
to town officials, emergency response personnel, sea turtle program volunteers

passenger vehicles that are functional and operational are allowed in the park, in
the interest of public safety and to minimize the environmental impact.
Section 11 - 48. Repairs within Freeman Park
Major repairs of vehicles, including any activity that could result in deposition of
any materials into the sound waters or onto the beach, are strictly prohibited

Section 11 - 49. Abandonment

reasonable effort to locate the owner. If the vehicle is not reclaimed within 30
days, the vehicle shall be sold under process prescribed by North Carolina
statutes at fair market value which will cover the cost of towing and any fees due
for storage.

SUBJECT:
Consideration of a Resolution Awarding Bid and Contract 07-0093 to Technical Video Systems, Inc. for a Television
Production and Broadcast Facility
BRIEF SUMMARY:
New Hanover County Television (NHCTV) has been broadcasting County Commissioner and Planning Board meetings and
various videotaped productions since August 2001. Citizens have grown accustomed to this high quality service and are
accustomed to receiving information concerning Board actions and other important information via this medium, without
relying on newspaper and commercial television coverage.
NHCTV has produced a number of award winning videos and has been recognized by other government cable television
operations as being among the best in North Carolina. However, due to our limitations in staff and technical equipment,
NHCTV has not been able to expand this service to citizens. In order to produce necessary television coverage for public
awareness, in a timely and cost efficient manner, a cable-casting and production facility is needed at the NHC Government
Center.
Since initial Board approval of utilizing cable television to the benefit of our citizens, NHCTV has been working toward this
goal and is ready to proceed with studio development and the production of high quality, informative content.
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
Adopt resolution awarding bid and contract #07-0093 to Technical Video Systems, Inc. (TVS) in the amount of $368,250,
authorize the County Manager to execute the contract and approve associated budget amendment 07-142.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Will above action result in: No Change In Position(s) Number of Positions:
Explanation: In addition to expenses already budgeted, an additional amount of $68,250 is needed to complete the project.
The additional funding would come from contingencies with your approval.

(2) Beach renourishment and conservation; and (3) mitigate declines in water quality. The

on the area's environmental quality enjoyed by area residents. The Commission is constantly
studying and staying informed on various projects trying to obtain new and beneficial projects for
this area. The main projects for the area deal with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in requesting
studies, seeing if a project is beneficial from a cost benefit ratio, and attempting to obtain approval
and then funding in the U.S. Congress and on the State level, but this mission is not carried out in
isolation. The Commission maintains an awareness of project effects on the quality of the waters
and their interrelations with natural resources.
Brief on Functions: The Commission works closely with the N.C. Department of Resources
Commission for assistance in obtaining approval of state funding and projects. An annual meeting
is held in Washington for the purpose of lobbying.

SUBJECT:
Sewer Plant Capacity Solutions Resulting from McKim and Creed Wastewater Master Planning and Northeast
Interceptor Redundancy and Reliability Evaluation
BRIEF SUMMARY:
The City has been tasked by the State to correct the problems with the Northeast Interceptor (NEI). The City has
approached this effort, using Kimley-Horne Engineering, to develop an option that will provide line redundancy and
rehabilitation for reliability.
In addition, the District Board approved the award of a Wastewater Master Plan Update contract to McKim and Creed
during the July 10, 2006 meeting. At that time, County staff and City staff concurred that a comprehensive re-evaluation of
the system with emphasis on management of wastewater flows for the Northside WWTP and Southside WWTP service
area was needed.
The Southside Wastewater Treatment Plant is permitted to treat 12 million gallons per day. Flows currently exceed 10
million gallons per day at Southside. The Northside Wastewater Treatment Plant is permitted to treat 8 million gallons per
day. Flows currently exceed 7 million gallons per day. The District is participating with the City in an expansion in
treatment capacity at the Northside Plant to 16 million gallons per day. This expansion project is scheduled to be
completed in 2009.
During the course of developing the Master Plan Update, McKim and Creed was tasked with producing two separate
Technical Memorandums to evaluate the impacts of the City's Northeast Interceptor Project on the combined City and
County system. The discoveries made during master planning and analysis of potential solutions is the basis of this
information briefing and recommendations for Sewer Plant Capacity Solutions presented by McKim and Creed Engineers.
It is important to note that it appears that County and City staff, along with the two consulting engineering firms, are all in
agreement upon an option that will address both NEI concerns and the need to provide flexible flow management for the
two treatment plants. The North Carolina Department of Water Quality has reviewed these recommendations and attended
joint City and County staff meetings on these topics.
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
Staff recommends that Commissioners hear and consider endorsing the recommendations for Sewer Plant Capacity
Solutions presented by McKim and Creed Engineers.

RE: Northeast Interceptor Reliability & Redundancy Evaluation
Wastewater Treatment Plant Capacity Solutions
Dear Mr. McSmith:
As you are aware, McKim & Creed has recently completed a draft of the
Northeast Interceptor (NED Reliability & Redundancy Evaluation (report). This
report, in conjunction with the 2006 update to the 2001 City of Wilmington-New
Hanover County Wastewater Master Plan Update (master plan) project, identified
an evaluation of potential sewer plant capacity solutions for the Northside and
Southside service areas as a primary milestone.
Under the City's current NEI Improvements Project, PS 35 (Bradley Creek Pump
Station) would continue to discharge to the Southside Wastewater Treatment
Plant (WWTP). At the direction of the County Commissioners and County staff,
McKim & Creed evaluated this approach and found an alternative solution.
Based on our report and progress made on the rnaster plan, McKim and Creed
recommends that the NEI improvements currently under consideration be
modified to direct wastewater flow frorn PS 35 (Bradley Creek) to the Northside
243 No,th Front Street Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWfP). This modification would provide the
following primary benefits:

. Reduce Wastewater Loading to the Southside WWTP
The Southside WWTP is approaching a critical capacity condition.
Diversion of PS 35 to the Northside WWTP will reduce the wastewater
loading to the Southside WWTP and defer the need to expand this
facility until the 2015-2020 timeframe. Without this recommended
diversion, it is possible that Southside WWTP will be placed under a
moratorium due to lack of available capacity before an expansion could
be designed, permitted and constructed.
. Balance Inflow to both the Soutbside and Northside WWTP's
The Northside WWTP is currently undergoing an expansion for
additional capacity. The recommended diversion will utilize the future
available capacity of this facility and provide a balanced inflow to both
the Southside and Northside WWTP's. Based on demand projections,
the Northside WWTP would not require a capacity expansion until the
2018-2020 timeframe.
. Retain the Long-term ability of either Facility to be Expanded
Long-term projections of wastewater demands for both treatment
facilities were developed based on projections provided in the 2001
Master Plan. Based on this evaluation, the recommended diversion
would not hinder the ability of either facility to be expanded to
accommodate future projected demands.
. Provide the Same Level of "Event" Management, or Higher
The recommended modification would provide the same level of
"event" management capability as the current NEI project for
comparable costs. Additionally, the recommended modification could
be enhanced to provide a higher level of event management capability if
desirable for additional cost.

Therefore, McKim & Creed recornmends that the current NEI systern
irnprovernents be amended to redirect PS 35 (Bradley Creek) to the Northside
WWTP to improve the system-wide flow management capabilities of the
existing treatment facilities.
If you have any questions or require further clarification, please do not hesitate
to contact me.
