This phone system would be under the supervision of staff at the Sheriffs Office and used by inmates occupying the Detention Facility. There is no cost to the County for this phone system as vendors are responsible for installing, maintaining and repairing the telephone system in any existing, new, or expanded County Detention Facility. Inmates are charged for their use of the phones and the Sheriff's Office receives commissions which are paid by the vendor from the revenues generated from the inmates' use of the phones. Proposals were received on April 27, 2015, from the following vendors in response to the County's solicitation: • Securus Technologies • GTL • Paytel • ICSolutions • Legacy All firms were invited to give an on -site presentation before the evaluation committee and upon completion of the presentations, the firms were evaluated and the top two firms were asked to revise and resubmit their financial offers. Paytel and GTL tied for second place; therefore, both firms were asked to resubmit their financial offers. After careful consideration, the evaluation committee recommends that the contract be awarded to Securus Technologies, the current provider, due to: 1. Infrastructure is in place 2. No disruption in service due to transition /training 3. Other proposals did not offer a significant reason to change vendors 4. Proven reliability 5. Software tools and overall capabilities are more advanced than others 6. Investigative tools are well developed and highly flexible 7. Highly recommended by NHC IT Department Board of Commissioners - July 20, 2015 ITEM: 4 The contract term is five years, with provisions for two one -year extensions. Securus Technologies will pay the County a commission fee of 54% of gross sales and also provide $500 monthly for inmate education and rehabilitation.

Please note Lisa's comment we're obtaining $92 million when we go to market, which means we may "borrow less" because the buyers pay us premiums. As an example, we may sale $88 million and receive $4 million in proceeds ($92 million in total) and pay debt service on the $88 million. It's not the plan to sale the $92 million and get premiums on top of that. We've taken the approach of borrowing the least to get the most so that we pay less in debt. Regards, Chris C.

We will be issuing debt to obtain $92 million in proceeds. If we obtain additional premiums on this issuance, it will be used to decrease the par amount of the bonds. This action does not require a public hearing and this will be the only meeting in which you have to take action on this debt. After your approval, the bonds will be priced on August th and we plan to close on the deal August 27tH 4 Please feel free to contact me before our meeting and agenda review if you have any questions.

Appropriated fund balance was approved at $8,952,347. The tax base was estimated to be $29.5 billion, which represents an approximate 1% increase from the tax base in 2013 -14 adopted budget. The tax rate was approved at .554 cents, which was unchanged from the tax rate for fiscal year ended June 30, 2014. For fiscal year 2015, the County anticipates general fund expenditures of $286.6 million or 98.54% of budgeted expenditures and revenues for the same period are expected to total $283.9 million or 97.6% of estimated revenues. The County expects to use a portion of appropriated fund balance to balance the budget for the fiscal year 2015. 21 Board of Commissioners - July 20, 2015 ITEM: 12- 3 - 26 Contributions to the system are determined on an actuarial basis. For information concerning the County's participation in the North Carolina Local Governmental Employee's Retirement System and the Supplemental Retirement Income Plan of North Carolina see the Notes to the County's Audited Financial Statements in Appendix C. Financial statements and required supplementary information for the North Carolina Local Governmental Employees' Retirement System are included in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report ( "CAFR ") for the State. Please refer to the State's CAFR for additional information. The County is self - insured for health insurance. Permanent County employees who resign in good standing, or retire with at least 15 years of creditable service in the Local Government Employees Retirement System may continue to participate, at their cost (premium prepaid by employee), in the County's health and dental programs until they become eligible for Medicare. The County books a reserve (at year end) estimated to cover these costs for the upcoming year. Other Post-Employment Benefits The County provides certain post - employment benefits as part of the tota sensation package offered to attract and retain qualified employees. Employees who retire on or afteust 1, 2003 may qualify for continued coverage under the County's group health insurance program. A`egular employee, who retires under one of the provisions of the North Carolina Retirement System, and who has at least five consecutive years of service with the County immediately prior to retirement is qualified for continued coverage. A fireman or sworn law enforcement officer who becomes totally and permanently disabled for their job, as approved by the North Carolina Retirement System's Medical Review Board, and whose disability is the result of an accident while performing their duty as such needs only one year of creditable service for continued coverage. At age 65, the retiree must obtain primary coverage through the Federal Medicare Plan (Parts A & B) and the County's health plan will assume secondary responsibility for covered medical services. The retiring employee must make an election to continue or terminate coverage at the time of their retirement. If a retiree waives their right to continue coverage at the date of retirement, they may not elect coverage at a future date. The only exception to this rule is when the retiree's spouse is an active employee of the County, the retiree may choose to become a dependent under the spouse's certificate. If the retiree loses eligibility under the spouse's certificate, they may at the time exercise the retiree insurance options that were available at the time of their retirement. The County provides these benefits under a self - insured plan with a portion funded by the County and the remainder funded by the retiree based on years of creditable service in the retirement system. Qualified retirees can purchase coverage for their dependents at the County's group rates. The County has also elected to provide a death benefit for employees who die in active service after one year as a contributing member of the retirement system or who die within 180 days of their retirement date. For additional information concerning the County's obligation to provide such health care benefits and death benefits, see Note 3B of the Notes to the Basic Financial Statements of the County in Appendix C. In June 2004, GASB issued Statement No. 45 Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions (effective for fiscal year 2008). GASB Statement No. 45 was implemented in three phases beginning in fiscal year 2008 and generally requires that state and local governmental employers account for expected future retiree costs attributable to OPEBs on an accrual basis similar to the manner that they currently account for pensions.

The Bond Resolution also provides that the County's undertaking pursuant to Rule 15c2-12 is intended to be for the benefit of the registered owners and the beneficial owners of the Bonds and is enforceable by any of the registered owners and the beneficial owners of the Bonds, including an action for specific performance of the County's obligations described in this Section, but a failure to comply will not be an event of default and will not result in acceleration of the payment of the Bonds. An action must be instituted, had and maintained in the manner provided in the Bond Order for the benefit of all of the registered owners and beneficial owners of the Bonds. The County may modify from time to time, consistent with Rule 15c2-12, the information provided or the format of the presentation of such information, to the extent necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the County, but: (1) any such modification may only be made in connection with a change in circumstances that arises from a change in legal requirements, change in law or change in the identity, nature or status of the County; (2) the information to be provided, as modified, would have complied with the requirements of Rule 15c2-12 as of the date of this Official Statement, after taking into account any amendments or interpretations of Rule 15c2-12 as well as any changes in circumstances; and (3) any such modification does not materially impair the interest of the registered owners or the beneficial owners, as determined by nationally recognized bond counsel or by the approving vote of the Owners of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds. Any annual financial information containing modified operating data or financial information will explain, in narrative form, the reasons for the modification and the impact of the change in the type of operating data or financial information being provided.

APPROVAL OF LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Certain legal matters incident to the authorization and issuance of the Bonds are subject to the approval of Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein LLP, Raleigh, North Carolina, Bond Counsel, whose approving legal opinion will be available at the time of the delivery of the Bonds. The proposed form of such opinion is attached hereto as Appendix E. 25 Board of Commissioners - July 20, 2015 ITEM: 12- 3 - 30 TAX STATUS General On the date of issuance of the Bonds, Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein LLP, Raleigh, North Carolina ( "Bond Counsel'), will render an opinion that, under existing law and assuming compliance by the City with certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Codc1'), the interest on the Bonds is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations. The interest on the Bonds will be taken into account in determining adjusted current earnings of certain corporations (as defined for federal income tax purposes) and such corporations are required to include in the calculation of federal alternative minimum taxable income 75% of the excess of such corporation's adjusted current earnings over its federal alternative minimum taxable income (determined without regard to this adjustment and prior to reduction for certain net operating losses). The Code imposes various restrictions, conditions and requirements relating to the exclusion of interest on obligations, such as the Bonds, from gross income for federal income tax purposes, including, but not limited to, the requirement that the County rebate certain excess earnings on proceeds and amounts treated as proceeds of the Bonds to the United States Treasury, restrictions on the investment of such proceeds and other amounts, and restrictions on the ownership and use of the facilities financed or refinanced with proceeds of the Bonds. The foregoing is not intended to be an exhaustive listing of the post- issuance tax compliance requirements of the Code, but is illustrative of the requirements that must be satisfied by the County subsequent to issuance of the Bonds to maintain the excludability of the interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes. Bond Counsel's opinion is given in reliance on certifications by representatives of the County as to certain facts material to the opinion and the requirements of the Code. The County has covenanted in the Bond Resolution to comply with all requirements of the Code that must be satisfied subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds in order that the interest on the Bonds be, or continue to be, excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. The opinion of Bond Counsel assumes compliance by the County with such covenants, and Bond Counsel has not been retained to monitor compliance by the County with such covenants subsequent to the date of issuance of the Bonds. Failure to comply with certain of such requirements may cause the interest on the Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactive to the date of issuance of the Bonds. No other opinion is expressed by Bond Counsel regarding the federal tax consequences of the ownership of or the receipt or accrual of interest with respect to the Bonds. If the interest on the Bonds income tax purposes due to a failure above, the Bond Resolution does no additional interest or penalty. subsequently becomes included in gross income for federal by the County to comply with any requirements described require the County to redeem the Bonds or to pay any The Internal Revenue Service has established an ongoing program to audit tax - exempt obligations to determine whether interest on such obligations is includible in gross income for federal income tax purposes. Bond Counsel cannot predict whether the Internal Revenue Service will commence an audit of the Bonds. Prospective purchasers and owners of the Bonds are advised that, if the Internal Revenue Service does audit the Bonds, under current Internal Revenue Service procedures, at least during the early stages of an audit, the Internal Revenue Service will treat the County as the taxpayer, and the owners of the Bonds may have limited rights, if any, to participate in such audit. The commencement of an audit could adversely affect the market value and liquidity of the Bonds until the audit is concluded, regardless of the ultimate outcome. 26 Board of Commissioners - July 20, 2015 ITEM: 12- 3 - 31 Prospective purchasers of the Bonds should be aware that ownership of the Bonds and the accrual or receipt of interest on the Bonds may result in collateral federal income tax consequences to certain taxpayers, including, without limitation, financial institutions, property or casualty insurance companies, individual recipients of Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits, certain Subchapter S Corporations with "excess net passive income," foreign corporations subject to the branch profits tax, life insurance companies and taxpayers who may be deemed to have incurred or continued indebtedness to purchase or carry the Bonds. Bond Counsel does not express any opinion as to any such collateral tax consequences. Prospective purchasers of the Bonds should consult their own tax advisors as to the collateral tax consequences. Proposed legislation is considered from time to time by the United States Congress that, if enacted, would affect the tax consequences of owning the Bonds. No assurance can be given that any future legislation, or clarifications or amendments to the Code, if enacted into law, will not contain provisions which could cause the interest on the Bonds to be subject directly or indirectly to federal or State of North Carolina income taxation, adversely affect the market price or marketability of the Bonds or otherwise prevent the owners of the Bonds from realizing the full current benefit of the status of the interest on the Bonds. Bond Counsel is further of the opinion that, under existing law, the interest on the Bonds is exempt from State of North Carolina income taxation. Bond Counsel's opinion is based on existing law, which is subject to change. Such opinion is further based on factual representations made to Bond Counsel as of the date thereof. Bond Counsel assumes no duty to update or supplement its opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances that may thereafter come to Bond Counsel's attention, or to reflect any changes in law that may thereafter occur or become effective. Moreover, Bond Counsel's opinion is not a guarantee of a particular result, and is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or the courts; rather, such opinion represents Bond Counsel's professional judgment based on its review of existing law, and in reliance on the representations and covenants that Bond Counsel deems relevant to such opinion. Bond Counsel's opinion expresses the professional judgment of the attorneys rendering the opinion regarding the legal issues expressly addressed therein. By rendering its opinion, Bond Counsel does not become an insurer or guarantor of the result indicated by that expression of professional judgment, of the transaction on which the opinion is rendered, or of the future performance of the County, nor does the rendering of such opinion guarantee the outcome of any legal dispute that may arise out of the transaction. Original Issue Discount As indicated on the inside cover page, the Bonds maturing on February 1, , (the "OID Bonds'), are being sold at initial offering prices which are less than the principal amount payable at maturity. Under the Code, the difference between (a) the initial offering prices to the public (excluding bond houses and brokers) at which a substantial amount of each maturity of the OID Bonds is sold and (b) the principal amount payable at maturity of such OID Bonds, constitutes original issue discount treated as interest which will be excluded from the gross income of the owners of such OID Bonds for federal income tax purposes. In the case of an owner of the OID Bond, the amount of original issue discount on such OID Bond is treated as having accrued daily over the term of such OID Bond on the basis of a constant yield compounded at the end of each accrual period and is added to the owner's cost basis of such OID Bond in determining, for federal income tax purposes, the gain or loss upon the sale, redemption or other disposition of such OID Bond (including its sale, redemption or payment at maturity). Amounts received upon the sale, redemption or other disposition of an OID Bond which are attributable to accrued original issue discount on such OID Bonds will be treated as interest exempt from gross income, rather than as a taxable gain, for federal income tax purposes, and will not be a specific item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on corporations and individuals. However, it should be noted that with respect to certain corporations 27 Board of Commissioners - July 20, 2015 ITEM: 12- 3 - 32 (as defined for federal income tax purposes), a portion of the original issue discount that accrues to such corporate owners of an OID Bonds in each year will be taken into account in determining the adjusted current earnings for the purpose of computing the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on such corporations and may result in other collateral federal income tax consequences for certain taxpayers in the year of accrual. Consequently, corporate owners of an OID Bond should be aware that the accrual of original issue discount on any OID Bond in each year may result in a federal alternative minimum tax liability or other collateral federal income tax consequences, even though such corporate owners may not have received any cash payments attributable to such original issue discount in such year. Original issue discount is treated as compounding semiannually (which yield is based on the initial public offering price of such OID Bond) at a rate determined by reference to the yield to maturity of each individual OID Bond. The amount treated as original issue discount on an OID Bond for a particular semiannual accrual period is equal to (a) the product of (i) the yield to maturity for such OID Bond (determined by compounding at the close of each accrual period) and (ii) the amount which would have been the tax basis of such OID Bond at the beginning of the particular accrual period if held by the original purchaser, less (b) the amount of interest payable on such OID Bond during the particular accrual period. The tax basis is determined by adding to the initial public offering price on such OID Bond the sum of the amounts which have been treated as original issue discount for such purposes during all prior accrual periods. If an OID Bond is sold between semiannual compounding dates, original issue discount which would have accrued for that semiannual compounding period for federal income tax purposes is to be allocated in equal amounts among the days in such compounding period. 28 Board of Commissioners - July 20, 2015 ITEM: 12- 3 - 33 FINANCIAL ADVISOR First Tryon Advisors, Charlotte, North Carolina has acted as financial advisor to the County in connection with the issuance of the Bonds in the capacity of resizing of the Bond issue after the pricing.

COUNTY OF NEW HANOVER, NOR By Jonathan Barfield, Jr. Chairman of "the Board of "Commissioners C C Chris Coudriet County Manager Lisa Wurtzbacher Finance Director LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION OF NORTH CAROLINA 30 Board of Commissioners - July 20, 2015 ITEM: 12- 3 - 35 C. Gaskins of "the Commission APPENDIX E August , 2015 The Bonds are issuable as fully registered obligations and will mature and bear interest at the rates and at the times, all as provided in the Bond Resolution adopted by the Board of Commissioners of the County (the "Board ") on (the `Bond Resolution'). In connection with the issuance of the Bonds, we have examined the following, and we have assumed the truth and accuracy of the representations, covenants and warranties set forth therein: From such examination we are of the opinion, under existing law, that: 1. The Bonds have been duly authorized under the provisions of the Constitution and laws of the State of North Carolina (the `State'), including The Local Government Bond Act, Sections 159 -43 et seq., of the General Statutes of North Carolina. 2. The Bonds are legal, valid and binding general obligations of the County. The rights of the owners of the Bonds and the enforceability of the Bonds may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors' rights heretofore or hereafter enacted to the extent constitutionally applicable, and their enforcement may also be subject to the exercise of judicial discretion in appropriate cases. 3. The County has pledged its faith and credit for the payment of the principal of and the interest on the Bonds, and the County is authorized to levy on all real property taxable by the County such ad valorem taxes as may be necessary to pay the Bonds and the interest thereon without limitation as to rate or amount E -1 Board of Commissioners - July 20, 2015 ITEM: 12- 4 - 1 4. Interest on the Bonds is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations, nor is it included in adjusted current earnings when calculating corporate alternative minimum taxable income. The opinion set forth in the preceding sentence is subject to the condition that the County comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, that must be satisfied subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds in order that interest thereon be, or continue to be, excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. The County has covenanted to comply with all such requirements. Failure to comply with certain of such requirements may cause interest on the Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactive to the date of issuance of the Bonds. We express no opinion regarding other federal tax consequences arising with respect to the Bonds. 5. The interest on the Bonds is exempt from State of North Carolina income taxation. In rendering the foregoing opinions, we have assumed the accuracy and truthfulness of all public records and of all certifications, documents and other proceedings examined by us that have been executed or certified by public officials acting within the scope of their official capacities and have not verified the accuracy or truthfulness thereof. We have also assumed the genuineness of the signatures appearing upon such public records, certifications, and documents and proceedings. � ' V ® ® ®® E -2 Board of Commissioners - July 20, 2015 ITEM: 12- 4 - 2 APPENDIX F BOOK-ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM Beneficial ownership interests in the Bonds will be available only in a book -entry system. The actual purchasers of the Bonds (the "Beneficial Owners ") will not receive physical certificates representing their interests in such Bonds purchased. So long as The Depository Trust Company ( "DTC "), New York, New York, or its nominee is the registered owner of the Bonds, references in this Official Statement to the registered owners of the Bonds shall mean DTC or its nominee and shall not mean the Beneficial Owners of the Bonds. The following description of DTC, of procedures and record keeping on beneficial ownership interests in the Bonds, payment of interest and other payments with respect to the Bonds to DTC Participants or to Beneficial Owners, confirmation and transfer of beneficial ownership interests in the Bonds and of other transactions by and between DTC, DTC Participants and Beneficial Owners is based on information furnished by DTC. DTC will act as securities depository for the Bonds. The Bonds will be issued as fully - registered bonds registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully- registered bond certificate will be issued for each maturity of each series of the Bonds, each in the aggregate principal amount of such maturity and will be deposited with DTC. DTC, the world's largest securities depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency' registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million issues of U.S. and non -U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC's participants ( "Direct Participants ") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book -entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants' accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of the Bonds. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non -U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly -owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation ( "DTCC "). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non -U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly ( "Indirect Participants "). DTC has a Standard & Poor's rating of AA +. The DTC rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com. Purchases of Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Bonds on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each Beneficial Owner is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchases. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive physical certificates representing their ownership interests in Bonds, except in the event that use of the book -entry system for the Bonds is discontinued. F -1 Board of Commissioners - July 20, 2015 ITEM: 12- 4 - 3 To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other nominee do not affect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual identities of the Beneficial Owners of the Bonds; DTC's records reflect only the identities of the Direct Participants to whose accounts the Bonds are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants are responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Bonds, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the security documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Bonds for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them. Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Bonds within an issue are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such issue to be redeemed. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to Bonds unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC's procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the County as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s consenting and voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts Bonds are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). t t t, Principal and interest and redemption premiums, if any; on the Bonds will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts upon DTC's receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the County, on each payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC (nor its nominee), the County or the Commission, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal, interest and redemption premiums, if any, is the County's responsibility, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants. DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving reasonable notice to the County. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, Bonds are required to be printed and delivered. The Commission or the County may decide to discontinue use of the system of book- entry- only transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, Bond certificates will be printed and delivered to DTC. The information in this Appendix concerning DTC and DTC's book -entry system has been obtained from DTC, and the County takes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof. The County cannot and does not give any assurances that DTC, Direct Participants or Indirect Participants will distribute to the Beneficial Owners of the Bonds (a) payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds, (b) confirmations of their ownership interests in the Bonds or (c) redemption or other notices sent to DTC or Cede & Co., its partnership nominee, as the registered owner of the bonds, or that they will do so on a timely basis, or that DTC, Direct F -2 Board of Commissioners - July 20, 2015 ITEM: 12- 4 - 4 Participants or Indirect Participants will serve and act in the manner described in this Official Statement.

The County reserves the right to change, cancel or reschedule, from time to time, the date or time established for the receipt of bids and will undertake to notify registered prospective bidders via notification published on BiDCOMP /PARITY, or by other means as necessary. The County may change the scheduled delivery date for the Bonds by notice given in the same manner as that set forth for a change in the date for the receipt of bids. To the extent any instructions or directions set forth in BiDCOMP /PARITY conflict with this Notice, the terms of this Notice shall control. For further information about BiDCOMP /PARITY, potential purchasers may contact BiDCOMP /PARITY at (212) 849-5021. Each prospective purchaser is solely responsible for making necessary arrangements to access BiDCOMP /PARITY for purposes of submitting its proposal in a timely manner and in compliance with this Notice of Sale. The terms of this Notice and the sale of the Bonds are governed by North Carolina law. The Local Government Commission of North Carolina (the "Commission ") does not have a registration process for potential purchasers. Prospective purchasers who intend to submit their proposal by BiDCOMP /PARITY must register and be contracted customers of i-Deal LLC's BiDCOMP Competitive Bidding System before the sale. By submitting a proposal for the Bonds, a prospective purchaser represents and warrants to the State Treasurer that such financial institution's proposal is submitted for and on behalf of such institution by an officer or agent who is duly authorized to bind the prospective purchaser to a legal, valid and enforceable contract for the purchase of the Bonds. Neither the Commission nor the County has reviewed or verified the accuracy or completeness of the information contained in BiDCOMP/PARITY and neither assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of such information. The Bonds will be general obligations of the County, all the taxable real property within which will be subject to the levy of ad valorem taxes, without limitation as to rate or amount, to pay the Bonds and the interest thereon. The Bonds will be issued as fully registered bonds in a book-entry only system under which The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ( "DTC "), will act as securities depository nominee for the Bonds as fully described in the Preliminary Official Statement described below. Purchases and transfers of the Bonds may be made only in authorized denominations of $5,000 and in accordance with the practices and procedures of DTC. Interest on the Bonds will be payable semiannually on each February 1 and August 1, beginning February 1, 2016, and principal of the Bonds will be paid annually on February 1, as set forth in the foregoing schedule to DTC or its nominee as registered owner of the Bonds. The principal and interest on the Bonds will be payable to owners of Bonds shown on the records of DTC at the close of business on the 151h day of the month preceding an interest payment date or a bond payment date. *Preliminary; subject to change as provided herein. Board of Commissioners - July 20, 2015 ITEM: 12- 5 - 2 The Bonds maturing on or before February 1, 2025 will not be subject to redemption prior to maturity. The Bonds maturing on or after February 1, 2026 will be subject to redemption prior to maturity, at the option of the County, from any moneys that may be made available for such purpose, either in whole or in part on any date on or after February 1, 2025, at the redemption price of the principal amount of Bonds to be so redeemed, plus accrued interest to the redemption date. If less than all of the Bonds of any one maturity are called for redemption, the particular Bonds or portions of Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected by lot in such manner as the County in its discretion may determine; provided, however, that the portion of any Bond to be redeemed shall be in an authorized denomination and that, in selecting Bonds for redemption, each Bond shall be considered as representing that number of Bonds which is obtained by dividing the principal amount of such Bond by the minimum authorized denomination. So long as a book-entry system with DTC is used for determining beneficial ownership of the Bonds, if less than all of the Bonds within a maturity are redeemed, DTC shall determine by lot the amount of interest of each Direct Participant in the Bonds within such maturity to be redeemed. Notice of redemption will be given to the registered owners of the Bonds and to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board, as provided in the Resolution authorizing the issuance of the Bonds (the "Bond Resolution "). Such notice will be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. No bid for less than all of the Bonds offered or for less than the face value of the Bonds will be entertained. Bidders are requested to indicate the interest rate or rates, in multiples of 1/8 or 1/20 of 1 %, to be applicable to the maturities of the Bonds. Any number of interest rates may be named, provided the difference between the lowest and highest rates named in the bid shall not exceed 3 %. All Bonds maturing on the same date must bear interest at the same rate, and the interest rate on any Bond shall be the same throughout its life. The Bonds will be awarded to the bidder offering to purchase the Bonds at the lowest interest cost to the County, such cost to be determined in accordance with the true interest cost (TIC) method by doubling the semiannual interest rate, compounded semiannually, necessary to discount the debt service payments from the payment dates to the expected delivery date (August 27, 2015) such that the sum of such present values is equal to the price bid. The aggregate principal amount and the principal amount of each maturity of the bonds described above and as set forth in the Bid Form attached hereto are subject to adjustment after the receipt and opening of sealed bids for their purchase as described below. The aggregate principal amount of the bonds may be decreased after the receipt and opening of sealed bids for their purchase in an amount determined by the County in its sole discretion not to exceed the amount of premium bid by the successful bidder in excess of 100% of the initial par amount of the bonds. The principal amount of each maturity of the bonds may be increased or decreased by an amount not to exceed 30% of the principal amount shown above for each such maturity. The bid price paid by the successful bidder will be adjusted to reflect any adjustments in the principal amount of the bonds. Such adjusted bid will reflect changes in the dollar amount of the underwriting discount and original issue premium, but will not change the underwriting discount percentage based on the bid price in the winning bid and the initial reoffering prices. The interest rate specified by the successful bidder for each maturity at the initial reoffering price will not change. The successful bidder may not withdraw its bid as a result of any changes made within these limits. As promptly as reasonably practicable after the bids are opened, the Commission will notify the bidder to whom the bonds will be awarded, if and when such award is made, and, as described below, such bidder, upon such notice, shall advise the Commission by telephone of the initial offering prices and yields to the public of each maturity of the bonds and shall, within 30 minutes, confirm that information by electronic mail or facsimile transmission. Such offering prices and yields, among other things, will be used by the County to calculate the final aggregate principal amount of the bonds and the final principal amount of each maturity of the bonds. It is anticipated that the final aggregate principal amount of the bonds and the final principal amount of each maturity of the bonds will be communicated to the successful bidder by 5 :00 p.m., North Carolina Time, on the date of the sale. Each bid delivered by hand or mail must be submitted on a form to be furnished with additional information by the undersigned and must be enclosed in a sealed envelope marked "Bid for Bonds, Series 2015 (County of New Hanover)." A good faith deposit (the "Deposit ") in the amount of $1,840,000 will be required for each bid. The Deposit may be submitted in the form of an official bank check, a cashier's check or a certified check upon an incorporated bank or trust company payable unconditionally to the order of the State Treasurer of North Carolina accompanying the bid. Alternatively, the successful bidder's Deposit may be a wire transfer upon initial notification of the award of the bonds. Award or rejection of bids will be made on the date above stated for receipt of bids, and any checks of unsuccessful bidders will be returned immediately. If the Deposit of the successful bidder is provided by check, the check of the successful bidder will be cashed by the State Treasurer. If the bonds are awarded to a bidder whose Deposit is by wire transfer, the successful bidder must submit its Deposit to the State Treasurer not later than 2 :00 P.M. North Carolina Time on the date of the award of the bonds, to the bank account instructed to the successful bidder by the State Treasurer during the initial notification of the award. If the Deposit is not received by that time, the Commission will reject its award to the initial successful bidder, and will contact the next lowest bidder and offer said bidder the opportunity to become the successful bidder, on the terms as outlined in said bidder's bid, so long as said bidder submits a good faith 3 Board of Commissioners - July 20, 2015 ITEM: 12- 5 - 3 wire within two hours of the time offered. The Commission will not award the Bonds to the successful bidder absent receipt of a good faith deposit prior to awarding the Bonds. The Deposit of the successful bidder will be invested solely for the benefit of the County, and no interest on the Deposit will accrue to the successful bidder. At closing, the principal amount of the Deposit will be applied, without interest, as partial payment for the Bonds. In the event that the successful bidder fails to comply with the terms of its bid, the Deposit and any interest earnings will be retained as and for full liquidated damages. If the County fails to deliver the Bonds, then the Deposit and any interest earnings will be remitted to the successful bidder as and for full liquidated damages. The CUSIP Service Bureau will be requested to assign CUSIP identification numbers to the Bonds. Assignment of the CUSIP identification numbers is solely within the discretion of the CUSIP Service Bureau, and neither the failure to print such numbers on any Bond nor any error with respect thereto shall constitute cause for failure or refusal by the successful bidder to accept delivery of or pay for the bonds in accordance with the terms of his bid. All expenses in relation to the printing of CUSIP numbers on the Bonds and the CUSIP Service Bureau charge for the assignment of said numbers shall be paid for by the County. The successful bidder will be required, prior to delivery of the Bonds, to furnish to the County a certificate acceptable to Bond Counsel stating the amount of the initial offering price to the public (excluding bond houses and brokers) at which a substantial portion (at least 10 %) of the Bonds of each maturity are reasonably expected to be sold and that there was a bona fide public offering made of each maturity. The certificate shall state that it is made on the best knowledge, information and belief of the successful bidder after appropriate investigation. The Bonds will be delivered on or about August 27, 2015, against payment therefor in Federal Reserve funds. The unqualified approving opinion of Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein LLP, Raleigh, North Carolina, will be furnished without cost to the purchaser. There will also be furnished the usual closing papers.

The site and surrounding area is classified as Transition in the 2006 CAMA Land Use Plan. The proposed rezoning is located on two parcels totaling just over 115 acres in size. Of those 115 acres, approximately two acres along Carolina Beach Road are currently zoned B -2. Surrounding land uses are mostly nonresidential, including an animal park /zoo, self - storage business, and general office /retail uses. Residential uses are located surrounding the commercial node, mostly to the south and west of the node. As this application is not for a conditional zoning district or a conditional use zoning district, a conceptual site plan is not required to be submitted, and conditions above and beyond the requirements of the zoning ordinance cannot be added to the proposed district. Should this rezoning be approved, the property would be allowed to be developed in accordance with the standards of the B -2 zoning district within the zoning ordinance.

EXISTING CONDITIONS ExistinaZoninaand Land Uses The proposed rezoning is located on two paroelstotaling just over 115 acres in size. Of those 115 acres, approximately two acres along Carolina Beach Fbad are currently zoned B-2. A node of B-2 zoning, i ncl udi ng those two acres, was establ ished around the Sanders Fbad and Carolina Beach Fbad intersection when zoning was initially applied to this area in 1971. The surrounding area was zoned R-15. O,/er time, that node of commercial zoning was expanded through multiple rezonings. Surrounding land uses consist mostly of nonresidential uses along Carolina Beach Fbad, and residential subdivisions in the nearby area. The nonresidential uses include an animal park/zoo, a self- storage business, and general office /retail uses. A large portion of the property, directly to the east, remains undeveloped. kTIIGEM Board of Commissioners - July 20, 2015 ITEM: 14- 3 - 1 O.S. — -q- Existing Ste Conditions The area proposed to be rezoned is currently undeveloped.

Should this rezoning be approved, the property would be allowed to be developed in accordance with the standards of the B-2 zoning district within the zoning ordi nance. Environmental The area proposed to be rezone is not within a Special Rood Hazard Area and contains Kureb (Kr) soil, which is suitable for septic systems. The land to rear of the proposed rezoning may contain wetlands. Land Use Ran Considerations The site and surrounding area are classified as Transition according to the 2006 CAMA Ran. The purpose of the Transition class is to provide for future intensive urban development on lands that have been or will be provided with necessary urban services.

Page 1 of 3 Board of Commissioners - July 20, 2015 04/14 ITEM: 14- 9 - 1 APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS In order to assist petitioners through the rezoning process, petitioners are highly encouraged to attend a pre - application conference prior to application submittal. Applications must be reviewed by Planning Staff for completeness prior to being officially accepted. Applications must be submitted to Planning Staff at least twenty (20) working days before the Planning Board meeting at which the application is to be considered.

For petitions involving greater than 5 acres, $600�_w___.�_ CRITERIA REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL OF A CHANGE OF ZONING Requests for general rezonings do not consider a particular land use but rather all of the uses permitted in the zoning district which is being requested for the subject property. Rezoning requests must be consistent with the New Hanover County Land Use Plan and the Zoning Ordinance, and the applicant has the burden of proving that the request is not consistent with the county's adopted land use plan, zoning ordinance, reasonable, and in the public's interest. The applicant should explain, with reference to attached plans (where applicable), how the proposed zoning district satisfies these requirements. The applicant has the burden of proof and must provide sufficient evidence in order for the required findings to be met. You must explain in the space below how your request satisfies each of the following requirements (attach additional sheets if necessary): i. now would the requested change be consistent with the County's Policies for Growth and Policies for growth encourage continued efforts to attract and retain businesses. The property is along the busy traffic corridor of Carolina Beach Road and near the commercial node at Sanders Road. The zoning boundary, as existing, does not provide enough depth for typical highway- business development. Page 2 of 3 Board of Commissioners - July 20, 2015 ITEM: 14- 9 - 2 04/14 2. How would the requested zone change be consistent with the property's classification on the Land L,iassitication The 2006 CAMA Land Use Plan Update identifies this tract as being in a Transition Land Classification. The Transition classification is to provide for future intensive urban development on lands that have been, or will be provided with necessary urban services. The location of these areas in based upon land use planning policies requiring optimum efficiency in land utilization and public service delivery. 1. What significant neighborhood changes have occurred to make the original zoning inappropriate, or how is me iana mvolvea unsuitable for the uses permitted under the exi Lands to both sides of the subject area are already zoned B -2. That existing boundary of the B -2 zone is generally at a consistent offset from Carolina Beach Road - both north and south of this "notch" of land. Tucking residential development in a small area between two business zones would not be attractive to most home buyers. 4. How will this change of zoning serve the public interest? There is no particular benefit for, or disadvantage to, the public interest. However, making the land available for business development, where its frontage is already zoned appropriately and its expanded depth would increase its reasonable use, would be a great means of infill and added tax base. If an applicant requests delay of consideration from the Planning Board or Board of County Commissioners before notice has been sent to the newspaper, the item will be calendared for the next meeting and no fee will be required. If delay is requested after notice has been sent to the newspaper, the Board will act on the request at the scheduled meeting and are under no obligation to grant the continuance. If the continuance is granted, a fee in accordance with the adopted fee schedule as published on. the New Hanover County Planning website will be required. By my signature below, I understand and accept all of the conditions, limitations and obligations of the zoning district for which I am applying. I understand that the existing official zoning map is presumed to be correct. I understand that I have the burden of proving why this requested change is in the public interest. I certify that this application is complete and that all information presented in this application is accurate to the best of my knowledge, information, and belief.

PLANNING BOARD ACTION: At their June 4, 2015 meeting, the Panning Board voted 6 -0 to recommend approval of the ordinance text amendment, findingthat the amendment proposal is: 1. Consistent with the purposes and intent Policies 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 5.7, and 15.5 of the 2006 COMA Land Use Pan because the amendment would broaden the uses allowed in the Airport Industrial Zoning District that would benefit from the location of the zoning district or be supportive of airport operationswhile having minimal impact on surrounding businessesand residents. 2. R-,asonable and in the public interest asthe amendment would support the public investment in the airport and surrounding infrastructure and transportation network while preventing hazards to the airport and minimizing impactsto the surrounding community. BACKGROUND AN D SU M M ARY: Panning Staff and Airport Authority Saff cooperatively recommend amending the regulation of uses in the Airport Industrial zoning district. This zoning district was included into the County's Zoning Ordinance in the 1970s and has been modified very little since inception of the language. Understanding that the district may be prohibitive of harmonious uses within the district, additional uses are recommended to be permitted either by right or by special use permit. Cognizant of the ongoing discussion about the special use permit process and manufacturing uses, as well as the ambition to create a new development ordinance in the near future, Staff's objective with thisproposed amendment isto allow for usesof similar or lesser intensitythan what is currently allowed in the Airport Industrial zoning district while maintaining the spirit and intent of the district. Another specific objective isto differentiate the usesof indoor and outdoor recreation in the table. The following text includes the excerpt from the Zoning Ordinance establishing and describing the Airport Industrial District, as well as a Table of Permitted Uses with changes recommended for the Zoning Ordinance text amendment. The changes proposed in the amendment were the result of a collaborative effort between Panning Saff and Airport Authority Staff. The changes include separating indoor and outdoor recreation into two separate uses; currently indoor and outdoor recreation uses both require an SUPin the AI zoning district. After separating the two, it is recommended that indoor recreation be allowed by right in the AI zoning district, and outdoor recreation continue to require an SUP. The remainder of the changes add uses that would be allowed either by right or by special use permit. No changes are proposed to require an SUP that currently is permitted by right, nor allowing uses by A- CCC )(-KCC4J Board of Commissioners - July 20, 2015 ITEM: 15- 2 - 1 0-& -m- right that currently require an SUP. Additionally, no uses that are currently permitted by right or SUP are proposed to be not permitted. Twenty -five additional uses are proposed to be allowed by right in the Airport Industrial zoning district: • Kennels • Veterinaries • Special Trade and General Contractors with no Outside Elorage • Wholesaling with no Outside Elorage • Entertainment Establishments, Bars, Cabarets, Discos • Entertainment Establishments, Bars, Cabarets, in a Ehopping Center • Farm Implement Sales • Food Elores • Furniture, Home Furnishing, and Equipment • General Merchandise Elores • Handcrafting Snall Articles • Hardware • Landscaping Service • Miscellaneous Retail • Barber/ Beauty Shop • Bectrical Repair Shop • Equipment Rental and Leasing • Indoor Recreation Establishments • Indoor Theater • Personal Services • Watch, Clock, .Jewelry Repair • Hospitals • Nursing Home/ Rehabilitation Center • Colleges, Universities, Professional S:hools, and Technical Institutions • M useums Three additional uses are proposed to be allowed by Special Use Permit in the AI zoning district: • General Manufacturing • Solar Power Farms • TV and Radio Broadcasting Geographically, the Airport Industrial Zoning District includes the Wilmington International Airport and its immediate surrounding vicinity, including propertiesalong Blue Clay Fead and North Kerr Avenue. In the image below, the red line outlines the boundary of the Airport Industrial zoning district, and the areas in yellow represent propertiesthat are under the ownership of either New Hanover County or the Airport Authority. Propertieszoned Airport Industrial that are not under the ownership of the County or Airport Authority would also be subject to the ordinance amendment.

Fundraising efforts could include potential naming opportunities and / or sponsorships to include honor / memorial gift donations. Currently, the County does not have a formal policy or process in place regarding naming or sponsorships. In the past, individual departments, advisory boards and / or fundraising group have addressed these topics to the extent each deemed necessary. However, to be consistent with best practices in fundraising, to ensure compliance with legal and tax requirements, and make sure expectations are appropriately aligned and documented, staff is recommending that the Board adopt a formal written policy and process that would be applicable to all County departments. The proposed policy reaffirms that county facilities and amenities are County assets, and that naming and sponsorship rights decisions for those assets belongs with the Board of County Commissioners (or its designee). New Hanover County plans to continue to actively seek to establish alternate revenue streams (e.g. sponsorships) that will increase the County's ability to maintain and enhance our facilities and amenities, continue to deliver services and programs to the community, and /or provide enhanced levels of service or programs beyond General Fund or Parks Bonds funding levels. The policy establishes a consistent policy and guidelines for the naming or renaming of New Hanover County owned facilities and amenities (where applicable). The policy also sets the standards, guidelines and approval criteria for solicitation, consideration and acceptance of sponsorships. Finally, the policy is designed to ensure a fair and open public process for soliciting and considering sponsorships, allow eligible potential sponsors to easily view and understand the sponsorship opportunities available, and provide a clear process for evaluation. At agenda review on Thursday, April 30th , staff reviewed the principles behind the policy and distributed a copy of the draft policy for Board review and comment. Additionally, staff met with key stakeholders to review the policy, and seek input.

Naming Policy The naming of County facilities is a function of the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners. The Board of Commissioners may name or rename any facility at its discretion, consistent with contractual and other legal considerations. The naming or renaming of county facilities and amenities shall be done by the Board of County Commissioners by resolution adopted by a majority vote. When short-term naming rights for an amenity are requested as part of an offer for sponsorship, such requests should be consistent with the naming guidelines identified in this policy. Temporary "Working Title" In the case of a new project or major renovation, County staff may give a project a temporary generic name for identification purposes during the acquisition and / or development of the facility. Permanent Naming of a Facility A permanent facility name should be identified prior to completion of the first phase of construction. County staff and appropriate advisory boards will bring applicable Offers for Sponsorship, or make naming recommendations based on naming requests solicited from the staff and / or public, to the Board of County Commissioners for consideration. Facility Renaming While renaming of an existing facility will be extremely rare, there are times when renaming may be necessary or desired, such as when done in connection with an expansion or major renovation of the park or facility. Renaming may also be appropriate for facilities: a) named with a temporary "working title" name, b) named after subdivisions, c) named after individuals or entities, or d) is otherwise not in the best interests of the County. Before a renaming would be considered, a critical examination will be conducted to ensure that: A. Renaming will not diminish the original justification for the name or prior contributors / contributions; B. There is a valid justification for renaming the facility (e.g. if the name is likely to bring unwanted notoriety, ill fame, discredit or controversy to the County or community); C. Changing the name will not cause undue confusion within the community; and D. An appropriate level of community support exists for the change. Naming for Major Donations From time to time, a significant donation may be made to the County that will add considerable value to the County's park system, parks or other facilities. On such occasions, the Board of County Commissioners ( "Board ") may recognize the donor by recommending naming or 2 Board of Commissioners - July 20, 2015 ITEM: 16- 1 - 2 renaming a park, county facility, or county amenity in honor of, or at the request of, the donor. Such requests should be consistent with the naming guidelines identified in this policy. Such recognition may be appropriate if the donor: Deeds land for the park, facility, or amenity to the County; Contributes the capital construction costs associated with developing the park, facility or amenity; or Provides a minimum 20 -year endowment for the continued maintenance and programming of the park, facility or amenity. 1V. Naming Guidelines When considering proposals for naming or renaming a county facility, the following general principles should be taken into consideration either collectively or individually: • Will the name engender a strong positive image? • Will the name be appropriate considering the facility's / amenity's location and history? • Will the name have historical, cultural, or social significance for future generations? • Will the name commemorate places, people, ore is that are of continuing importance to the area? • Will the name have symbolic value? • Will the name enhance the character and identity of the facility? • Will the name have broad public support? • Will the name result in the undue commercialization of the facility or amenity if it accompanies a corporate gift? • Does the proposed name duplicate, or is it closely related to or pronounced similarly to the name of any other existing facility such that it might cause confusion? B. Historical Events, People, and Places The history of a major event, place, or person may play an important role in the naming or renaming of a facility or amenity. C. Outstanding Individuals The County has benefited from the contributions made by many outstanding individuals. Facilities may be named after an individual who made significant contributions to New Hanover County through participation in community, state or national service. Eligible individuals should be honored posthumously, a minimum of 5 years after death. Eligible individuals' names and life accomplishments should be such that they would still have relevance into the distant future. D. Recognize A Major Donation In select instances, a county facility or amenity may be named after, or designated by, a business / individual / family / organization / corporation that makes a unique and Board of Commissioners - July 20, 2015 ITEM: 16- 1 - 3 extraordinary financial and / or land donation to the development of the facility or amenity being named. The merits and value of each naming shall be considered on a case -by -case basis. E. Identify the Amenity's or Facility's Purpose / Usage A name may be assigned to a county facility or amenity if it helps describe and identify the purpose of the facility or to indicate an association with a nearby public facility. V. Sponsorship Policy It is the policy of New Hanover County to actively seek to establish alternate revenue streams that will increase the County's ability to maintain and enhance our facilities and amenities, continue to deliver services and programs to the community, and /or provide enhanced levels of service or programs beyond General Fund or Parks Bonds funding levels. One of the alternate funding sources being pursued is sponsorship. The Board of County Commissioners has the final decision - making authority for determining the appropriateness of a sponsorship. Unless a sponsorship requires Board of County Commissioners approval, the County will act through the County Manager (or his / her designee). The County reserves the right to refuse any offer of sponsorship, and acceptance of a sponsorship does not constitute an endorsement by the County of the Sponsor or its products or services. All offers of sponsorship will be reviewed in accordance with this policy. Unless otherwise agreed to contractually, only New Hanover County may enter into sponsorship agreements for County owned (or controlled and operated) facilities and amenities or County programs, services, and events. Individuals and groups renting or using County facilities or amenities (e.g. parks, ball fields, soccer fields, etc.), may display temporary sponsorship signage for the duration of their event or reserved time. However, individuals and groups renting or using County facilities or amenities may not permanently affix or display sponsorship messages or advertising on County assets, facilities or amenities. All temporary messages /signage must meet applicable zoning laws and requirements, and must be removed at the conclusion of the event or rental period. Identification and Public Availability of Available Sponsorship Opportunities Each department director, in consultation with the County Manager (or his / her designee), shall be responsible for determining the facilities, amenities, programs, services and events for which his or her department is responsible that are suitable for sponsorship. Public access to information about potential sponsorship opportunities is important to creating an open and fair process and to protect against disputes related to sponsorships that may be category or facility or amenity exclusive. Additionally, public access to this information will allow the county to more effectively and efficiently market sponsorship opportunities and allow potential sponsors and the County to negotiate efficiently. Therefore, each department will make information about potential sponsorship opportunities available through the county's website and other appropriate means. VI. Levels of Approval for Sponsorship Agreements and Naming Rights The County manager may adopt a standard process by which sponsorships are sought, considered, and approved. The County Manager may contract with an independent contractor to Board of Commissioners - July 20, 2015 ITEM: 16- 1 - 4 value the sponsorship opportunities, and / or contract for services related to solicitation and evaluation of sponsorships. Unless otherwise contracted out, each department director will be the point of contact for all sponsorship offers within their area. The department director will be responsible for ensuring that the offer is complete and properly executed, and for determining the approval process that must be followed based on the corresponding sponsorship level below. Board of County Commissioners Offers of sponsorship that are for terms greater than five (5) years, or are projected to generate $150,000 or more, or that involve permanent naming rights for a County facility or amenity, shall require Board of County Commissioner Approval. All sponsorship agreements at this level must be approved by the County Manager. The County Manager has the option to refer any proposed offer of sponsorship or Sponsorship Agreement to the NHC Board of County Commissioners for approval. 4 Department Staff A department director may delegate authority to approve offers of sponsorship and to execute a Sponsorship agreement for sponsorships that are within the director's authority and are for terms of three (3) years or less and are projected to be $15,000 or less to an appropriate staff member. All such approvals shall be in consultation with the department director. Board of Commissioners - July 20, 2015 ITEM: 16- 1 - 5 Vll. Criteria for Review or Sponsorships Although the County recognizes and affirms that entering into a sponsorship agreement is not an endorsement of that sponsor or its services or products, sponsorships do imply some degree of affiliation between New Hanover County and the sponsor. Therefore, no potential sponsor or offer of sponsorship will be approved that might compromise the public trust or the public's perception of the County's ability to act in the public interest, or that might have a negative impact in the county's mission, image, or values. Further, the County reserves its right to exercise full editorial control over the placement, content, appearance and wording of all sponsorship recognition messages. The County may make distinctions on the appropriateness of sponsors on the basis of the sponsorship recognition message. Every sponsorship offer shall be evaluated by taking into consideration the characteristics of the average / typical attendee of each facility, amenity, program, service or event proposed for sponsorship and the mission, image and values of the County. Additionally, the following criteria shall also be considered in evaluating every offer: A. Extent and prominence of onsorship recognition message, if applicable. *1,i ��11 = r,. B. The aesthetic characteristics of the sponsorship recognition message, if applicable. C. The importance of the sponsorship to the mission, values and image of New Hanover County. D. The level of support proposed to be provided by the sponsor. Actual or potential conflicts of interest between the sponsor and the County or County's elected officials, officers, employees or affiliates; ii. Potential to tarnish the County's reputation or standing among its citizens; or iii. Potential to impair the ability of the County to effectively govern its citizens or otherwise distract the County, its elected officials, officers and employees from its mission. Sponsorships deemed unsuitable for the specific audience or contrary to the community's standards of appropriateness for the facility, amenity, program, service or event will not be approved. The County will not consider Sponsorships proposals or naming rights proposals (if applicable) that include: rel Board of Commissioners - July 20, 2015 ITEM: 16- 1 - 6 A. Alcoholic beverages and establishments that are licensed to sell, and primarily do sell, alcoholic beverages, including bars; provided, however, food service establishments or places of lodging may be sponsors only when the sale of alcohol is incidental to providing food service or lodging. i.

No materials or communications, including, but not limited to print, video, internet, tweet, broadcast, photograph or display items developed to promote or communicate the sponsorship using the County's name, department or facility names, marks or logos may be issued without prior written approval from the County manager or his / her designee. 1X. Other A level 3 or Level 4 Sponsorship that is denied by a department director, or their designee, may be appealed to the County manager. The County Manager's decision shall be final. 7 Board of Commissioners - July 20, 2015 ITEM: 16- 1 - 7 NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION MEETING DATE: July 20, 2015 REGULAR DEPARTMENT: Environmental Management PRESENTER(S): Joe Suleyman, Environmental Management Director CONTACT(S): Joe Suleyman SUBJECT: Consideration of the Award of Bids for Material Recovery Facility Improvements, and the Associated Budget Amendment to Transfer Funds into the Capital Project BRIEF SUMMARY: The Capital Project Ordinance for the Material Recovery Facility (MRF) Improvements Project was adopted on June 8, 2015.

I am a mediator and facilitator with a public policy practice in the Southwest. Micki has been a stakeholder member of a group I have facilitated since November 2004. This group is addressing an important issue in the Las Vegas valley: the disposition of the Upper Las Vegas Wash. Micki has shown a strong commitment to the quality of life in our community. She has been diligent and open- minded, and has contributed significantly to the decision - making process. She has helped others learn about her point of view, and has been tenacious in seeking to understand the points of view of the other stakeholders. She has been creative in seeking collaborative solutions that meet everyone's needs. I believe these qualities would help her to be a good school board member. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Thank you for your consideration.

The County's current comprehensive plan update will chart the county's growth for the next 20 years. I want to help it become an inspiring and equitable blueprint for us all, to get it adopted promptly, and then to translate it into an effective and fair revised zoning ordinance. My father's family was from Wilmington, and I have been in and out of New Hanover County my whole life. I grew up part of the time here, am a proud graduate of New Hanover High School, and have lived here most recently since 2006. My husband and I have two grown sons. I hold a master's degree in City and Regional Planning from UNC -CH and worked as a city planner for the City of Greensboro (less than a year), the City of High Point for 4 years, and the Winston - Salem /Forsyth County Planning Board for 6 years. I also worked part-time for the City of Plano, TX for about a year. Most of my work has been in long -range transportation and land use planning. I held certification with the American Institute of Certified Planners from 1979 to 2010. The rest of MY "working career" has consisted of extensive volunteer work in public schools, Meals on Wheels in Pennsylvania and Texas, and a variety of church jobs including serving as an ordained officer in three Presbyterian churches. Regarding the Planning Board's current work on Plan NHC: Charting the Course, I am serving on the "Livable Built Environment" and "Harmony with Nature" focus groups. I have also read the Pathways to Pmsperity report by Garner Economics, and find some of their recommendations intriguing and quite "doable." I can bring professional expertise, historical perspective, geographic balance, and good listening skills to the New Hanover County Planning Board. I have had a good deal of practice in disagreeing without being disagreeable. I know that there is usually more than one way to help people do what they want to do or need to do.

I have been conducting professional business in Wilmington for the past twenty or so years, and relocated here approximately two years ago. While I am not actively involved in the insurance industry at present, I maintain close ties to it, with many professional contacts. I am interested in serving on the Risk Management Advisory Committee to offer my experience in Enterprise Risk Management to the community. In considering my qualifications, it is important to recognize that I have represented many municipalities in my professional career, one being the City of Wilmington in the early 1990's when I was employed by Hartford Insurance Company. I was formally the liaison between the City and Hartford with respect to managing all claims submitted by the City to Hartford. I have since provided insurance and risk management services for many other municipalities across the Southeast United States My experience with insurance and risk management is both broad and diverse, and I hope to offer that experience to New Hanover County as a member of the Risk Management Advisory Committee.
