Section 2: Explanation
The budget amendment reflects the $264,841 decrease in State Subsidy funding. The decrease in funding is a
result of underutilization of services below the 98% rate through February 2015. In order to ensure DSS is
maximizing the use of State Subsidy funds (98% or above), DSS has consulted with the Division of Childcare
Development and Earlier Education and developed an action plan to ensure that DSS is maximizing the use of
our State Subsidy and Smart Start funding going forward through the reminder of the state fiscal year leading
into the new fiscal year as well.
There is no impact to the current children receiving services as the reversion was based upon a decrease in
expenditures related to three policy changes, which caused clients to be ineligible. DSS is working the waiting
list to serve an additional 100 children. The additional 100 children will remain on the subsidy program going
into next fiscal year, provided they still meet the eligibility requirements.

Community Child Protection Team Annual Report
BRIEF SUMMARY:
N.C. General Statute requires that a report be made to the Commissioners regarding gaps in services that are
not available to children as well as achievements of the Community Child Protection Team (CCPT).
The CCPT identified the following four gaps or deficiencies in services and resources for children and
families:
• Lack of Consistent, Accessible, Effective Mental Health Services
• Substance Abuse - Involved Families
• Inadequate Child Care Financial Support for Working Families and Families in Crisis
• Lack of Affordable Non - Subsidized Housing
Substance Abuse - Involved Families is recommended to be addressed by collaboration, and policy and
procedures development. Recommendations for the other three gaps identify funding needs.
The CCPT requests the Board's approval of these appointments for terms April 2015 through April 2016.

Mr. Jonathan Barfield, Jr., Chairman
New Hanover County Board of Commissioners
230 Government Center Drive, Suite 175
Wilmington, NC 28403
Dear Chairman Barfield:
This report is being submitted by the New Hanover County Community Child
Protection Team (CCPT) in order to meet state law that was established in
response to Executive Order 142 in May 1991.' The CCPT acts to identify and
address gaps or deficiencies in services and resources for children and families
and to build public awareness through multiple resources, including placing
our findings and concerns for your information and support in this annual
report.
Before we begin our report, however, we want to share the latest data for U. S.
Child Maltreatment. We know that some may be surprised to learn that child
neglect2 is the main reason families come to the attention of Child Protective
Services in North Carolina. Although neglect is sometimes considered less
severe than other forms of maltreatment, studies confirm that neglected
children often suffer the worst consequences for two main reasons: brain
development and attachment. We also know that neglect disproportionally
affects younger children. In the latest study, 50% of child neglect victims were
five years old or younger and 30% were age two or younger.
Our children deserve better! Negative effects can be reduced or reversed.
Children can recover with early appropriate intervention and effective
approaches. We know what causes child maltreatment. We must continue
outreach to families facing the kind of adversity that puts young children at
risk for significant neglect while building caregiver capacities and family
resources that can prevent neglect and abuse from occurring in the first place.
Eighteen local agencies represent our CCPT. During 2014 these agencies met
16 times and extensively reviewed select cases. These cases were selected as
they represented serious unmet needs of families in New Hanover County who
were receiving services as they were unable to meet the needs of their
Board of Commissioners - April 20, 2015
ITEM: 10- 1 - 1
children. These reviews also serve to bring to the surface underlying problems that impact the entire community. The
recurring identified gaps and barriers that were found in the cases reviewed by the New Hanover County CCPT include
the following.
1. Lack of consistent, accessible, effective mental health services
(a) Inadequate number of qualified professionals who can provide trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy
for children who are victims of abuse, neglect and /or trauma.
(b) Unacceptable services for families and children experiencing a mental health crisis, which requires in- patient
treatment for stabilization, i.e. long waits, which can be days or weeks, in the emergency room and a great
distance to travel to access services.
(c) Minimal appropriate out -of -home placements that currently exist for children identified with sexually acting
out behaviors.
Recommendation — Expand funding to recruit and train qualified professionals who can provide trauma focused
cognitive behavioral therapy. Seek full support of Coastal Care (Trillium Health Resources) in the supervision
and accountability of private mental health providers and in advocating for local placements for children with
sexually acting out behaviors.
2. Substance Abuse - Involved Families
Substance abuse by parents and caretakers continues to be a prevalent contributory factor in the child
maltreatment cases we have reviewed. The negative impact that results from substance abuse involves children
being left unsupervised, children born testing positive for a controlled substance such as prescription medications
or illegal drugs, caretakers involved in criminal behavior leading to incarceration and sadly child fatalities.
During 2014 one of the cases we reviewed involved a parent who tested positive for methadone and a
benzodiazepine and was involved in a traffic accident, which resulted in the death of one child and serious injury
to another. Our team engaged in conversation with providers who administer methadone treatment and
determined that policy needs to be developed to monitor methadone dosage levels combined with the use of
prescription drugs. As a result of this education, members of our team are attending task force meetings to further
develop this policy and continue dialogue regarding the safety of children while a parent or caretaker is in
methadone treatment.
Recommendation — Improve the early identification of at -risk caretakers of substance abuse issues for earlier
intervention and better outcomes. Continue collaboration with community partners to develop policy and
procedures regarding the safety of children while a parent or caretaker is in methadone treatment.
3. Inadequate Child Care Financial Support for Working Families and Families in Crisis
Children involved with Child Welfare receive child care in order to alleviate the safety issues in their current
home environment to prevent foster care placements or when they are in the custody of DSS and the foster
parent /caretaker is employed. The problem occurs when the family is stabilized and /or reunified and DSS closes
the case. The family must then apply for subsidy day care which automatically results in the child being placed
on the waiting list. The child care subsidy waiting list grows daily and currently exceeds 700 children. The lack
of adequate subsidized day care funding often results in repeat maltreatment for children and families in our
county.
Board of Commissioners - April 20, 2015
ITEM: 10- 1 - 2
Recommendation — Expand both local and state funding for child care subsidy in an effort to allow families to
remain self - sufficient and to prevent repeat maltreatment.
4. Lack of Affordable Non - Subsidized Housing
Families who are at or just above the current poverty guidelines are not eligible for subsidized housing. They
struggle to find affordable, adequate housing in New Hanover County. Too often the results are families being
forced to live in unsafe neighborhoods; multiple families residing in a single residence, or tragically enough,
homelessness.
Recommendation — Provide funding to community agencies to develop innovative housing initiatives /solutions
that meet the needs of all our population in New Hanover County, particularly the working poor, and require strict
enforcement of housing regulations.
2014 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Although our team works diligently together to help these and other families, these barriers are beyond the ability of any
single team or county to resolve and, unless significantly addressed, will continue to impede optimal child and youth
development and a family environment that helps build a safer, stronger community. We also sponsor and provide
educational events.
• "Everybody Matters" — hl April 2014, during Child Abuse Prevention Month, we held the Annual Flower
Launch on the Henrietta. This event honors community members and professionals who work every day to
nurture and protect our children. Each flower that is launched into the Cape Fear River represents an individual or
agency that has positively impacted the lives of local children.
• "Kids in Cars" - Members of our CCPT recognized that the majority of 911 calls involving children left in cars
unattended were not being reported to DSS as allegations of abuse /neglect. We worked with 911 to create a
protocol to utilize two communicators to simultaneously notify law enforcement and DSS. In addition, the
protocol calls for one of the communicators to notify any retail establishment where the car is located so that an
announcement can be made for the owner to return to their car. NHC —TV continues to play a vitally important
link in education and awareness and assisted in producing a video, "Kids in Cars," to educate the public on
reporting children left unattended in cars, especially during summer months. The video and public service
announcement aired in August 2014.
• "Handle with Care" was implemented in August 2014 to notify New Hanover County Schools whenever law
enforcement comes into contact with a child who has experienced a potentially traumatic situation. Law
enforcement sends an email to the school social worker at the school where the child attends briefly detailing
what happened and asking that his child be "handled with care." This provides comfort to the child as well as
assists the school in dealing appropriately with why a child is acting in a specific manner.
• "Infant Safe Sleeping Tips" is a flyer developed and distributed to educate the public in reducing the risk of
SIDS and sleep - related causes of infant death. This was a project that we partnered with the New Hanover County
Child Fatality Prevention Team.

REQUEST TO THE COMMISSIONERS FOR LOCAL APPOINTMENTS TO THE CCPT
In addition to those members mandated or the additional designated by NC G. S. 7B 1406 shown on our letterhead, the
statute provides for appointment by the county commissioners of an additional member from and up to five at -large
members. We ask your approval of these appointments for terms April 2015 through April 2016.

We recognize the challenges you address every day for the citizens of New Hanover County and thank you for this
opportunity to discuss this matter with you. We ask that you hold these unmet needs as priorities in your contacts with
state and /or national government representatives and in your local decision making. The CCPT member agencies are
committed to continuing to work with you to promote child safety and prevent child maltreatment.

' The duties and responsibilities of CCPT were adopted as North Carolina Administrative Code 411.0400. The original purpose and
composition of the team were further formalized and expanded by G.S. 713 1406, effective July 1, 1993.
2 The term "neglect" is defined by the federal Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA) as "at a minimum any recent act
or failure to act on the part of a parent or caretaker, which results in death, serious physical or emotional harm, sexual abuse or
exploitation, or an act or failure to act which presents an imminent risk of serious harm. Such neglect has been found to lead to
lifelong problems in learning, behavior, and health. Neglect is also referred to as the absence of sufficient attention, responsiveness,
and protection appropriate to the age and needs of a child." Child neglect receives far less public attention than physical abuse
and sexual exploitation and a lower proportion of mental health services is dedicated to children who have been neglected
in comparison to the availability of treatment programs for victims of physical trauma.

NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION
MEETING DATE: April 20, 2015
REGULAR
DEPARTMENT: Register of Deeds PRESENTER(S): Tammy Beasley, Register of Deeds
CONTACT(S): Leslie Chaney, IT Director and Lena Butler, Purchasing Supervisor
SUBJECT:
Consideration of a Resolution to Award Bid for the Purchase of a Recording System for the Register of
Deeds to Business Information Systems (BIS)
BRIEF SUMMARY:
When the NC Indexing standards changed effective July 1, 2012, the vendor for the product in use currently
in the Register of Deeds office decided not to comply with the standards in the software that we are
using. Instead, this vendor was requiring a "re- purchase" of its newer software at a significant cost to the
County. The current software is not only out of compliance with the indexing standards, but it will not
operate on the newer versions of Microsoft Windows as required for security compliance. Since the
anticipated cost of upgrading the current system was equal to or greater than procuring a new system, staff
from the Register of Deeds Office and the Information Technology Department began the processing of
selecting new systems.
Pursuant to Section 143 -129.8 of the General Statutes of North Carolina, sealed proposals for the purchase of
a Recording System for the Register of Deeds were received by Lena Butler, Purchasing Supervisor on
February 6, 2015.
Proposals were received from the following firms in response to the County's solicitation issued on January
21, 2015:
1. Business Information Systems (BIS)*
2. Courthouse Computer Systems (CCS)*
3. Internet Technologies, Inc.
After review of the technical requirements submitted in response to the Request for Proposals
(RFP), respondents were ranked in order of the cumulative scores assigned by the evaluating committee. The
top two firms (noted by the asterisk), were invited to conduct demonstrations of their proposed system.
After demonstrations, staff unanimously selected BIS for award of contract. Their system was deemed to be
the best fit and the lowest cost of all proposals received. Staff entered into discussions for a final contract
amount and added additional equipment needed but not included in the original request. This
equipment consisted of two servers and thirteen printers bringing the total cost for a five -year period to
$349,643. (Evaluation and Pricing Attached)
This project is being funded through the Automated Enhancement Preservation Fund. The General Statutes
required that each county establish this fund for the use of the Register of Deeds in funding technology
projects for their office. These funds are unable to be used for any other purpose.
In the IT RFP process, the County is allowed to negotiate with respondents to insure that the provided
solution will meet the needs as outlined in the RFP and fit within the County's environment. The updated
quote from BIS removed some pieces of hardware that the County already owned and would not need to be
supplied by the vendor. The Best and Final Offer (BAFO) was the final quote with all hardware, software,
and warranties that are required for a total solution. The BAFO was arrived at after significant conversations

with the vendor to insure that everything needed had been included in the contract.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:
Effective County Management
• Increase efficiency and quality of key business processes
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:

includes purchase, installation, and maintenance for five years.

*BIS's original proposal price of $398,600 included hardware support. Since the cost for
hardware support was not included in the other two proposals, the updated cost of
$327,000 removes the hardware support and yields a more uniform comparison between
the firms.
* *CCS submitted two separate cost plans. Example 1- Perpetual licenses included with
maintenance fee. Example 2- Pre - paying for software licenses for the duration of the
contract with medium maintenance costs.
The two firms receiving the highest ratings, BIS and CC S, were invited to give a
demonstration of their proposed systems.
Staff unanimously selected BIS for award of contract and entered into discussions for a
final contract amount. Additional equipment including two servers and thirteen printers
were added to the contract bringing the total amount for a five year period to $349,643.
This item will be considered for approval at the Board of Commissioners' meeting to be
held on Monday, April 20, 2015 at 9:00 AM in the Old Historic Courthouse located at 24

We want to thank each of you for participating in our RFP process. All proposals,
excluding any information marked "Confidential," will be available for public inspection
