To develop this new program Museum Educators have proposed themes based on Demonstration Collection objects, and are soliciting input from the New Hanover County Schools lead science and social studies educators and teachers who currently make use of Museum programming. Objects from the Demonstration Collection would be assembled into Classroom Kits, and the kits made available for one -week loans to enhance classroom instruction and engage students in science and history topics. The approved Museum's Collection Policy sets very high standards to ensure the safe care and management of the valuable historic collection. Because the current policy does not distinguish between the "Permanent Collection" and "Demonstration Collection" when loaning objects, and to facilitate the loan of Demonstration Collection objects in Classroom Kits to public and home schools, the Museum's Collections Policy requires amending. Attached are two chapters from the Policy: 4. Categories of Collections and 7. Loans, with the proposed changes. These changes were approved by the Museum's Advisory Board at its December 18, 2013 meeting.

These improvements amount to an estimated $325,000 and include (but are not limited to) the following: I . $32,000.00 - New back -stop with proper netting behind home plate & the removal of chain link. 2. $135,000.00 - New 8'x30' press box - complete with two decked areas on either side of the press box to miters (center of grandstand only) from Southern Bleacher Co, and full metal roof structure over press box and suite area to create "stadium" look and feel. 3. $25,000.00 —140 new floor mount stadium chairs for the grandstand from Irwin Seating. 4. $25,000.00 - Replace all existing backrests on bleachers on grandstand with new colored backrests to match seating. 5. $15,000.00 - Replace all fencing on grandstand with 6 gauge vinyl coated fencing (black or blue) 6. $39,850.00 - Provide a new grandstand per drawings provided along Ist base side only with new colored backrests to match seating — giving more comfort, longevity and aesthetically creating a cohesive stadium. 7. $40,000.00 - Provide new state-of-art scoreboard for the outfield including possibility of video from Daktronics 8. $5,000.00 Provide new permanent signage at entrance, back of dugouts, and concessions, from AMI Graphics 9. $5,000.00 Provide new inflatable fast pitch and bounce house for kids section down left field line from IDG Inflatable Design Group 10. $5,000.00 New `Beer Garden" folding seating — 72 new chairs (6 per box x 12) We would like to suggest a public - private partnership on these improvements where everybody shares in the cost burden but also reaps the many benefits these upgrades will mean for the city, the overall community (including the high school, legion baseball, the Sharks) and the Legion Stadium complex as a whole. The structure of this is obviously yet to be determined, but with the idea of getting these improvements completed before May 28`h, 2014, the Wilmington Sharks organization would like to pledge that assuming we can enter into a lease agreement that protects the Sharks long term interest, that we will take responsibility for exactly half of the above costs — an estimated $162,500.00, if you can support the balance of the proposed improvements. We look forward to discussing this with you over the coming weeks. Sincerely, Peter B.

The goal of the grant is to purchase recycling receptacles and position them along the boardwalk near the intersection of beach access points to achieve the greatest impact. Visitors would have the opportunity to recycle upon arrival and once again upon departure from the beach. The request is for $30,000 in grant funding with an additional $6,000 required match in funding. The $6,000 match was included in the Environmental Management Enterprise Fund's FY14 -15 requested budget for the department. This proposal does not conflict with the current solicitation process for selecting a private MSW disposal partner.

All Proceeds are used only for recycling collection and processing, landfill operation and maintenance, Household Hazardous Waste collection, and Construction and Demolition Debris diversion and recycling. Further, attached is a written statement from the New Hanover County Finance Director that certifies the proper use of tax proceeds. New Hanover County provides for recycling collection at all key government buildings. Receptacles for the collection of recyclable materials are positioned in high- traffic areas at the following locations: Government Center, all Libraries, Property Management, NHC Parks, Health Department, Airlie Gardens, Cape Fear Museum, Senior Resource Center, Animal Control, Juvenile Detention Facility, Old Courthouse, Judicial Building, Cooperative Extension, Department of Social Services, Register of Deeds, and Haggard High School Baseball /Softball fields. Materials collected include mixed paper, glass, aluminum beverage containers, and plastic beverage containers. Additionally, battery collections have been added at the Government Center location. New Hanover County maintains a contract with a private hauler for the collection and transportation of the materials to the County's recycling processing facility. Board of Commissioners - February 17, 2014 ITEM: 14- 2 - 2 IV. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: New Hanover County proposes to make "away from home" recycling convenient to visitors and residents who utilize the Town of Carolina Beach's boardwalk. This boardwalk is slated to be completely renovated and expanded by the start of the upcoming peak tourist season, and is expected to receive a significant increase in traffic as a gateway to direct beach access points. The primary considerations in selecting a recycling collection method involved five (5) factors: a. Accessibility b. Durability c. Sustainability d. Aesthetics e. Impact In coordination with the staff of the Town of Carolina Beach, it was determined that positioning recycling receptacles along the boardwalk near the intersection of beach access points would have the greatest impact. These intersections would receive the highest amount of traffic, and give visitors the opportunity to recycle twice — once upon arrival, and once again upon departure. Durability was an important factor in selecting the type of receptacle. The receptacles would be subjected to high winds, rain, sand, salt water, and high temperatures. To avoid high maintenance costs and ensure a long service life while retaining an aesthetically pleasing appearance, a receptacle constructed of recycled HDPE was selected. A need for marine -grade hardware (to resist corrosion) and UV- stabilized pigments (to prevent fading) further narrowed the field of acceptable options. DESCRIPTION AND QUANTITY OF ITEMS TO BE PURCHASED The County proposes to purchase 18 three - compartment receptacle units (45 gallon per compartment). Two compartments in each unit will be designated and marked for recyclable materials, and the third will be designated and marked for non - recyclable materials Each receptacle is constructed of recycled HDPE containing UV- stabilized pigments and marine -grade hardware. Each receptacle is clearly marked with text and universally - recognized symbols showing the types of materials collected. Board of Commissioners - February 17, 2014 ITEM: 14- 2 - 3 HOUSE HOLDSIBUSI NESS ES IMPACTED BY THE PROJECT In 2012, the Town of Carolina Beach had a population of 5,883 and had over 550,000 visitors. The boardwalk area provides direct access to the beach for many residents and visitors, and hosts numerous festivals, concerts, and events. WASTE REDUCTION IMPACT Based on the service frequency, visitor count, and historical per- capita generation rates, it is estimated that this program would divert 12,156 pounds of recyclable materials (primarily PET beverage containers) away from landfill disposal per season. ANTICIPATED LIFE OF SERVICE The receptacles are warranted for three (3) years and have an expected service life of 20 years. There has been increasing interest in the Town government to not only increase recycling rates overall, but to improve on recycling collection at the beach as well as the adjacent business district. Aesthetically pleasing, low- maintenance recycling receptacles strategically located along high - traffic areas are a key element of this vision. It is expected that this project will be sustainable through the full service life of the receptacles, and may lead to future program expansion to adjacent areas with high foot traffic, such as the Central Business District (CBD). PROJECT GOAL The goal of this project is to enhance and expand an existing service. The boardwalk renovation includes an 800' extension of the existing boardwalk, doubling the current length. The multi- compartment recycling receptacles are intended to replace existing 95- gallon carts at beach access points. V, SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS — Away from Home Pro'ect: Since the County proposes to purchase eighteen (18) three - compartment receptacles with one compartment designated for trash that will be disposed of in a landfill, a modification to the match requirement has been made to reflect the additional match requirement. Two compartments in each unit will be designated and marked for recyclable materials, and the third will be designated and marked for non - recyclable materials. Per the requirements outlined in the Request for Proposals the applicant match has been adjusted to show that funds from New Hanover County and Carolina Beach will fully cover the portion of these receptacles dedicated to the collection of trash. VI. PROJECT TIMELINE: • July 15, 2014: Complete purchase of receptacles. • August 22, 2014: In collaboration with the Town of Carolina Beach, accept delivery of receptacles and organize placement throughout boardwalk access; launch public awareness campaign. • November 1, 2014: Submit final NC DEAO report.

That approval was granted and staff has advertised, interviewed and selected (pending contract negotiations and Board approval) a Shoreline Mapping project team led by the engineering firm Moffatt & Nichol. The primary purpose of the mapping is to determine the shoreline conditions, measure volumetric rates of erosion and accretion, track the movement of sand in the longshore and cross -shore direction by comparative surveys, and assess beach conditions from one reach to another for purposes of evaluating New Hanover County's coastal storm damage reduction (CSDR) efforts. The tasks include: (1) annual surveying of the profiles established along Wrightsville Beach, Masonboro Island, Freeman Park, Carolina Beach, Kure Beach and Fort Fisher (Figure One) and preparation of an annual report; (2) if authorized by staff, a rapid response post - hurricane survey of all profiles along all areas listed above which includes a letter report summarizing the results; and (3) if authorized by staff, a bathymetric survey of all four borrow areas ( Masonboro Inlet, Carolina Beach Inlet and offshore borrow areas A & B). In the FY14 budgeting process, staff had estimated and was granted a budget through the Room Occupancy Tax (ROT) for the first year of the SMP efforts at $150,000.00. In an effort to use the most recent USACE shoreline data within this first year's scope of work, staff is requesting supplemental ROT funding in the amount of $50,000.00. The supplemental funding will acquire the historical USACE data, fund the reduction of the most recent USACE data set, incorporate the most recent USACE data set within the SMP's data base and include the refined USACE data within the first year's trend analysis. The Port, Waterway and Beach Commission supports this shoreline mapping project. Room occupancy tax funds are eligible for the proposed effort as defined by the General Assembly in 2002 "Costs directly associated with qualifying for projects either contracted through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers or otherwise permitted by all appropriate federal and state agencies." Staff is requesting authorization to increase the Shoreline Mapping Program's ROT budget by $50,000.00 bringing the project budget for the first year effort to $200,000.00. This project will ensure local compliance with the federal Project Cooperation Agreements (PCA).

The project would have the exact attributes (template and disposal options) as implemented by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). The project area encompasses the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW) crossing east through the inlet throat into ocean waters. The proposed authorization will exactly overlay the USACE's footprint (Figure One). The permitting approach for CBI is a coordinated effort through the Division of Water Resources ( NCDWR) and five participating shallow draft stakeholders (Shallotte, Lockwood Folly, Carolina Beach, Topsail and Bogue). The previous NCDWR Reconnaissance Phase resulted in an estimated permitting cost for all five participants as $300,000.00. The NCDWR is cost sharing the Permitting Phase 50150 leaving the participating stakeholders to cost -share the remaining $150,000.00. Staff anticipates New Hanover County's worst case funding participation based on an estimate of $75,000.00. Inclusion of CBI maintenance dredging within a locally held authorization will provide the County with potential contracting alternatives for future maintenance dredging efforts. Having this locally issued permit will not adversely affect future cost sharing potentials with the NCDWR. The Port, Waterway and Beach Commission supports this permitting capability. Room occupancy tax funds are eligible for the proposed effort as defined by the General Assembly in 2002 "Costs directly associated with qualifying for projects either contracted through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers or otherwise permitted by all appropriate federal and state agencies." Staff is requesting authorization to participate in the NCDWR's Permitting Phase of the shallow draft inlets. This approach retains New Hanover County's coastal infrastructure continuity, project momentum, uses previous deliverables and maximizes use of available data while facilitating current regulatory guidance. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: Productive Strategic Partnerships • Develop appropriate public /private partnerships RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Staff is requesting the Commissioners' approval to move forward with the County permitting of the CBI maintenance dredging as currently authorized to the USACE.

This authorization provides the County with an alternative maintenance dredging contracting approach. It does not jeopardize any potential cost sharing from the NC Division of Water Resources. This budget amendment is not to provide funding for the actual inlet maintenance dredging. It is only to obtain the permit authorization. The estimated cost to the County is S75,000 and is not currently budgeted in the Room Occupancy Tax fund. This budget amendment for S75,000 is to appropriate funds for this project.

Included is a summary of revenues and expenditures as recorded by the County for the General, Environmental Management, and Fire Services Funds. Please note that these results are unaudited. Audited information for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 will be presented by the County's independent auditors after fiscal year end. This information is provided to help keep you abreast of the financial status of the County on a regular basis throughout the fiscal year. Data provided by fund includes: • Actual revenues and expenditures for the previous fiscal year ended June 30, 2013; • Budget revenues and expenditures for the current fiscal year ending June 30, 2014; • Actual revenues and expenditures as of the end of the quarter for both fiscal years; • Percentage of actual revenues /expenditures received /spent for the quarters presented for the current and previous fiscal year; and • Graphical comparison of actual amounts as a percent of budget for both fiscal years presented. GENERAL FUND HIGHLIGHTS: As the chart highlights, many revenues are not received, nor expenses paid, evenly throughout the year. • The bulk of ad valorem taxes are received in December and January, as real property taxes are not considered late and subject to interest until after January 6, 2014. Ad valorem tax revenues received through the second quarter of fiscal year 2014 are greater than through the second quarter of fiscal year 2013. • Sales taxes are received from the State two and one half months following the month in which they are collected by the vendors across North Carolina. Thus, sales tax revenues represent only one quarter of this year's revenues to be distributed to local governments by the State. By comparison to fiscal year 2013, sales tax remains consistent with only a less than $300,000 increase over the same time last year. • Economic & Physical Development, Debt Service, and Transfers are not distributed evenly by month. Rather, expenditures are paid when due. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT FUND HIGHLIGHTS: As with the General Fund, many revenues and expenses do not fall evenly throughout the year for Environmental Management. • Charges for Services, or tipping fees, of approximately $1 Million per month are on target with budgeted revenues. • Revenues from Long Term Debt Issued and expenses for Debt Service, Capital, and Transfers are not evenly distributed by month. Revenues from Long Term Debt Issued will be recorded when debt proceeds are received, which will occur only when needed. Similarly, capital expenses occur when related capital assets are needed. Transfers are recorded when capital project funding is required or at the end of the fiscal year. FIRE SERVICES FUND HIGHLIGHTS: Again, as with the General Fund, many revenues and expenses do not fall evenly throughout the year for Fire Services: • The bulk of ad valorem taxes are received in December and January, as property taxes are not considered late and subject to interest until after January 6, 2014. Ad valorem revenues through the second quarter of fiscal year 2014 are more than those through the second quarter of fiscal year 2013. • Sales taxes are received from the State two and one half months after the month in which they are collected by the vendors across North Carolina. Thus, sales tax revenues represent only one quarter of this year's revenues to be distributed to local governments by the State. • Charges for Services, although a relatively high percentage above the conservative budget estimate for this portion of the year, reflect collections comparable to the actual amount received last fiscal year. • Intergovernmental Revenue, together with Debt Service and Capital Expenses, are not evenly distributed by month throughout the year. Rather, expenses are paid when due and revenues recorded when received. Intergovernmental Revenue is primarily comprised of a FEMA Fire Prevention and Safety grant. Revenues are received quarterly in reimbursement of qualifying expenditures. The first qualifying expenses for this year were incurred during the second quarter. Debt Service expenses occur when payments are due. Capital expenses occur when the capital asset is needed. Transfers are recorded when the capital project funding is required or at the end of the fiscal year.
