SUBJECT:
Approval of Final Recommendation of Proposed Certified Voting Systems for Adoption and
Acquisition
BRIEF SUMMARY:
New Hanover County has the following voting equipment inventory: iVotronic Voting Terminals (DRE) -
110; iVotronic Supervisor Terminals (DRE) -2; Model 100's (Optical Scan) - 70; Model 650 (High Speed
Optical Scan) - 1. In accordance with Session Law 2018 -13 (Senate Bill 486), Direct Record Electronic
(DRE) iVotronic voting equipment was decertified in the State of North Carolina on December 1, 2019,
unless otherwise authorized by the NC State Board of Elections. The State Board may authorize a county
board of elections to use a direct record electronic (DRE) voting system in any election prior to July 1,
2020, provided the State Board determines the following conditions
are satisfied:
(1) The county board of elections submits a hardship request to the State Board
to use a DRE voting system in an election or elections prior to July 1, 2020,
as specified in the request, and provides documentation that replacement of
the machines prior to July 1, 2020, would create an undue hardship for the
county.
(2) The county board of elections provides sufficient information for the State
Board to conclude that the use of the DRE voting system will not jeopardize
the security of the election or elections.
(3) The county board of elections has begun the process and time line for
replacing the DRE voting system and provides documentation to the State
Board regarding the time line for that process and specifically the time of
testing as required by G.S. 163 - 165.9.
Although County Boards of Elections in North Carolina are required to replace DRE voting systems only,
the New Hanover County Board of Elections requested a full voting system replacement for FY
19/20. The current voting equipment inventory maintained by the New Hanover County Board of
Elections was purchased in 2006, with mostly HAVA funds, from Elections Systems and Software (ES &S)
and has exceeded the projected end of life (approximately 10 years). We are experiencing greater
frequency of equipment failure during voting equipment testing, One -Stop voting, and Election Day
voting. The New Hanover County Board of Elections currently has $947,669 in the approved FY19/20
budget for this expenditure.
The New Hanover County Board of Commissioners (with the recommendation and approval of the New
Hanover County Board of Elections) must adopt and acquire a voting system that is certified by the NC
Board of Commissioners - December 16, 2019
ITEM: 3
State Board of Elections. The New Hanover County Board of Commissioners can decline to adopt or
acquire any voting system recommended by the New Hanover County Board of Elections, but it cannot
adopt and acquire a voting system that has not been approved by the New Hanover County Board of
Elections (NC Gen. Stat. § 163 - 165.8). The public contracting and procurements statutes do not apply to
the purchase of certified voting systems. Before approving the purchase of a new certified voting system,
the New Hanover County Board of Elections was required to complete the following:
1. Witness a demonstration of the recommended type of voting system plus at least one other
certified type of voting system, if there is more than one certified vendor,
2. Make a preliminary recommendation to the board of county commissioners as to which type
of voting system should be acquired,
3. Test the proposed voting system in at least one precinct on Election Day where the voting
system would be used if adopted,
4. Seek State Board approval to replace the current voting system, and
5. Make a final recommendation to the board of county commissioners.
The New Hanover County Board of Elections witnessed a demonstration of two voting systems certified
by NC State Board of Elections, ES &S and Hart InterCivic, at the September 10, 2019 board meeting. The
third vendor, Clear Ballot, did not respond to our request for a demonstration or additional information
regarding their voting systems. The New Hanover County Board of Elections was required to take official
action to preliminarily recommend a voting system before testing the proposed voting system in a
precinct on Election Day during the 2019 Municipal Elections and chose to document their
recommendation via the attached resolution. The proposed voting systems were successfully tested
during the 2019 Municipal Elections and the New Hanover County Board of Elections has received
approval from the NC State Board of Elections to purchase the proposed new voting system pending
approval of the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners.

systems for adoption and acquisition.

BALLOT PRINTING
Draft
Our Ballot on Demand solution enables election staff to print the exact number of
ballots needed for each precinct of any allowable ballot style based on voter turnout.
This increases efficiency and reduces cost and waste.
When integrated with VR workstations or electronic pollbooks, the system will
automatically accept individual ballot requests and print the proper ballot for each
request. This eliminates the need to pre - print, store and inventory ballots at polling
locations, and ensures the correct ballot is printed for each voter.

Encryption. Hash Validation and Digital Signatures
All ballot PDFs stored on the system for printing are encrypted and can only be printed via the BOD
software on the BOD printer. Should unauthorized data somehow be introduced into the system,
a user would not be able to associate this data or edit the pre - defined job without logging in as an
administrator.
Audit Logs
The BOD Print Service software generates an audit log of all system activities, including system access
by administrators. Once an operator is logged into the system, the BOD will report on all printing
activity by that operator. The audit log is timestamped, and each individual activity is identified by the
administrator login name.
System Application Controls
The BOD system is hardened, including onlythe services, applications, utilities and settings required to
successfully operate the print service program and print ballots. System functions are executable during
election events, in the manner and order intended by election officials performing their duties.
Physical and System Access Controls
�^ The Ballot on Demand laptop and printer can be secured in a lockable case and the laptop is secured
with a pressure- sensitive, tamper - evident seal. These physical locks and seals are a first line of defense
and minimize the effect of any unauthorized access.
The operating software provides security access controls to limit and detect access to critical system
components, guarding against system integrity loss and availability. Access codes are required for
system access during equipment preparation, testing and operation. These safeguards cannot be
bypassed or deactivated during system installation or operation, maintaining the integrity of the
election data and audit record.
Two levels of password protection for the BOD laptop exist: Microsoft Windows login and BOD print
service login. Should unauthorized data somehow be introduced into the system, a user would not be
able to associate this data or edit the pre - defined job without logging in as an administrator.

ACCURACY
ES &S' patented Intelligent Mark Recogn'stion7V (IMR) and
PTRACT"^ technology ensure that ballots are read accurately
ano consistently, protecting voter intent and eliminating
manual adjudication time.
PTRAC (Positive Target Recognition & Alignment
Compensation) corrects for variations in ballot alignment
and printing; allowing the digitai scanners to zero in on the
marking area. IMR then digitally subtracts the out'ine of the
voting target to read only tr7e voter's mark. Our competitors'
opticat scanners require you to set an arbitrary pixel
threshold to determire what courts as a mark.
Instead, the DS850 does the work for you. To determine
whicn marks were intentiona , sophisticated algorithms
analyze the mark's darkness (pixel density) and directiona €ity.
Unlike other scanners, the DS850 is not fooled by erasures
or other stray marks.
Does the election require a recount? With the DS850,
you get the same consistent and accurate results every time.

Section 2: Explanation
BA 20 -035 budgets additional federal funds received from the North Carolina Department of Health &
Human Services ( NCDHHS) Women's Health Branch to assist in efforts to provide nutrition education,
promote increased program participation and encourage participant retention in the Women, Infants and
Children (WIC) program. Specifically, these funds will be utilized to support client services and
breastfeeding initiatives. Examples in these areas include nutrition outreach in two New Hanover County
schools as well as additional breastfeeding chairs for nursing mothers at the Public Health clinic. Funds will
also be used for other operational expenses related to daily WIC functions. Due to requirements of federal
and state funding, the additional allocation must be used to supplement current county programs and cannot
be used to supplant General Fund Appropriations. No county match is required and no new positions are
being requested.
BA 20 -036 reduces budgeted federal funds from the NCDHHS Women's Health Branch for the Prepare for
Success (PREP) program. This program has been terminated as of October 2019. This amendment removes
budgeted revenue and expenditures associated with this program and will more accurately reflect the
department's activities and funding for the remainder of FY2020. No county match is associated with this
reduction and no positions are affected.

Section 2: Explanation
BA 20 -019 budgets $6,206 in contributions from the Ability Garden to assist in providing a Cooperative
Extension Agent Therapeutic Horticulture position to lead the efforts of the 20- year -old Ability Garden
program at the New Hanover County Arboretum. This program is a successful model of therapeutic
horticulture for an urban area serving over 1,800 people with disabilities annually. Currently, the Ability
Graden is served by a casual part-time position at 19 hours per week funded by the county. These funds will
now be applied to support the cost of the Cooperative Extension Agent position, and North Carolina State
University (NCSU) will also provide funding for the position. In total, NCSU will contribute 50 percent of
the position cost, the county's contribution will be 34 percent, and the Ability Garden will contribute 16
percent. The Cooperative Extension Agent will be a position of NCSU. In the case of reduced funding by
either NCSU or the Ability Garden, this position would revert back to a casual part-time position of the
county. There would be no additional financial commitment for the county in this move.

Consideration of Juvenile Crime Prevention Council (JCPC) Full -Time Grant - Funded Position Via Raise
the Age Expansion Funding
BRIEF SUMMARY:
On December 1, 2019 North Carolina implemented "Raise the Age" increasing juvenile jurisdiction to
include 16- and 17- year -olds for criminal offenses, excluding class A -E felonies. According to the County
Data Book published by the N.C. Department of Public Safety there were 4,917 youth, ages 16 -17, in New
Hanover County (NHC) in 2018. To meet this increased service need in a safe, effective and efficient
manner, N.C. released additional community program funds throughout all 100 counties with NHC
receiving $70,860 for FY 19/20 and $114,426 for FY 20/21. One of the JCPC- approved funding requests
was for a full -time Community Service and Restitution (CSR) program assistant positionthat we expect
will be funded by JCPC State dollars year over year on an ongoing basis. The position isspecifically aimed
at serving the increased number of older youth entering the juvenile justice system as a result of Raise
the Age legislation. The additional grant funding would be used to expand the Community Service and
Restitution's targeted interventions aimed at holding individuals accountable for their actions while also
addressing underlying risk and needs factors to prevent additional court involvement and minimize
collateral economic impacts associated with recidivism. The interventions include a NACo recognized and
ICMA- awarded 8 -week Job Skills Development Program, linkage to vocational training, individualized
service and aftercare planning, along with a multitude of service opportunities throughout the
community at local churches, county partners and nonprofit organizations.
Two other funding requests were recommended by JCPC to receive expansion funding:
• Clinical services contract with a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist (10 hours per week)
• 30 hours of continuing education credits for 3 clinical staff

RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:

SUBJECT:
Consideration of Sediment and Erosion Control Ordinance Revisions
BRIEF SUMMARY:
The New Hanover County Engineering Department manages the Sediment and Erosion Control Program
for the unincorporated county and the City of Wilmington. This is a locally delegated program that
periodically receives ordinance updates from the Sediment and Erosion Control Commission. Please refer
to the attached email for the background regarding the proposed updates. Note that the ordinance
contains calendar days and working days per the sections provided by the State. We will continue with
process improvement to include standardizing days in the ordinance and make our recommendations to
the State. Preliminary work has already been done with Planning and Land Use to include the Sediment
and Erosion Control Ordinance in the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). The proposed changes
were reviewed by Legal and the Strategy Department.
The attached document utilizes tracked changes to show the proposed revisions to the current ordinance
with color coding to demonstrate where the proposed changes originated. Muni -code corrections are in
blue. State additions /corrections are in red. Staff used purple for updates and green where
recommended revisions were placed in multiple sections of the ordinance to increase the ease of use for
our users. The majority of the changes were to update language or to make grammatical
corrections. Technical or Administrative changes and Operation changes are listed below for further
clarification.
Technical or Administrative Changes to the Ordinance:
• Excludes Saturday, Sunday and Federal and State holidays from working days unless work is taking
place in Section 23 -233 on page 7.
• The Ordinance no longer applies to certain horticultural activities and activities to restore wetland
functions of converted wetlands in Section 23- 234(b)1 and Section 23- 234(6) on page 7 & 8.
• Requires plan approval to be kept on -site in Section 23- 236(d) and Section 23- 248(b) on pages 9 &
17. Already a practice in the county.
• Removes buffer requirements from Section 23- 237(1)a, Section 23- 237(c), Section 23- 237(d) and
Section 23- 237(e) on page 10. This is a positive change.
• Alters the angle of slopes and fill, and the timeframes for stabilization in Section 23- 237(2) and
Section 23- 237(4) on page 10 & 11.
• Includes intent to protect stream banks and channels downstream from land- disturbing activity in
Board of Commissioners - December 16, 2019
ITEM: 10
Section 23 -239 on page 12. This is already the intent of our efforts.
• Includes upgrading or replacing receiving structures or watercourses if increased flow is the result
of a land- disturbing activity in Section 239(c)5 on page 13. This will be limited to on -site efforts and
not require off -site improvements.
• Includes the fee schedule in Section 23- 247(c) on pages 16 & 17.
• Requires written owner's consent if the applicant is not the landowner unless the work is within an
easement in Section 23- 248(c) & Section 23- 248(d) on page 18. Work within an approved
easement may include utility work by Duke Energy, CFPUA, etc.
• Adds Effective Date in Section 23 -254 Page 26.
Operational Changes to the Ordinance:
• Includes a common plan of development in determining acreage in Section 23 -233, Section 23-
235(d) and Section 23- 247(x)3 on pages 4, 8 & 16. This has been the interpretation of the State for
several years, however the definition was never added to the ordinance. Determines when an
acre is exceeded and a permit must be obtained.
• Defines acceptable fill material in Section 23- 237(3) on page 11. The Ordinance has not previously
contained a definition of what constitutes acceptable fill material.
• Defines how a notice of civil penalty assessment is served in Sections 23 -245 and Section 23-
251(2) on pages 15 & 25. A notice shall be served upon a person by any means authorized under
G.S. 1A -1 Rule 4 that covers notice of service of process. The Ordinance previously just stated that
the notification shall be submitted in writing by county engineering and receipted by the owner or
agent responsible.
• Requires Plans to include a schedule for inspections and documentation after each phase of
construction in Section 23 -248 (i) and (o) on pages 21— 23. The inspections are to be performed by
the permit holder after each major phase of construction. This is common practice for those
individuals doing the land disturbing activities, this section documents that this practice be written
into the plans.
• Provides for transfer of a plan without consent of the plan owner, in certain circumstances such as
death or dissolution of partnerships in Section 23- 248(k) on page 20. This adjustment allows for
projects to be continued by a new owner in the event the previous owner is no longer available.
• Caps Civil Penalties for first time offenders if damages have been abated within 180 days of the
notice in Section 23- 251(a)1 on page 25. Addition was made to limit fines for first time offenders if
the issue has been promptly corrected.
• Allows an assessment to be contested by filing a remission request in Section 23- 251(a)2 on page
25. This change allows a permit holder to contest the assessment of a civil penalty to the
Sedimentation Control Commission.
• Direct civil penalty collections to the Civil Penalty & Forfeiture Fund in Section 23- 251(a)4 on page
26. Funds collected still go to the schools but on a statewide basis.
These changes will not affect the way in which we manage the program. Staff will continue to work
with permit holders and the general public to assist with compliance and protect our natural
resources.

Section 23 -236 Basic control objectives
(a) An erosion and sedimentation control Plan may be disapproved pursuant to
Section 23 -248 if the Plan fails to address the following control objectives: STATE
(1) Identify critical areas. On -site areas which are subject to severe erosion and
off -site areas, which are especially vulnerable to damage from erosion and /or
sedimentation are to be identified and receive special attention. STATE
(2) Limit time of exposure. All land- disturbing activity is to be planned and
conducted to limit exposure to the shortest feasible time. STATE
(3) Limit exposed area. All land- disturbing activity is to be planned and
conducted to minimize the size of the area to be exposed at any one time.
STATE
(4) Control surface water. Surface water runoff originating upgrade of exposed
areas should be controlled to reduce erosion and sediment loss during the
period of exposure.
(5) Control sedimentation. All land- disturbing activity is to be planned and
conducted so as to prevent off -site sedimentation damage. STATE
(6) Manage storm water runoff. When the increase in the velocity of storm
water runoff resulting from a land- disturbing activity is sufficient to cause
accelerated erosion of the receiving watercourse, Plans are to include measures
to control the velocity to the point of discharge so as to minimize accelerated
erosion of the site and increased sedimentation of the stream. Plans are to
include measures to control the velocity to the point of discharge so as to
minimize accelerated erosion of the site and increased sedimentation of the

(a) Intent. Stream banks and channels downstream from any land- disturbing activity
shall be protected from increased degradation by accelerated erosion caused by
increased velocity of runoff from the land- disturbing activity. STATE
{a)-(b) rim• ien . Performance standards. Persons shall conduct land- disturbing
activity so that the post - construction velocity of the ten -year storm runoff in the
receiving watercourse to the discharge point does not exceed the greater of: STATE
(1) The velocity established by the Maximum Permissible Velocities table in
subsection (de) of this section; or STATE
(2) The velocity of the ten -year storm runoff in the receiving watercourse prior to
development.
If conditions (1) or (2) of this °ubseetion Paragraph cannot be met, then the
receiving watercourse to and including the discharge point shall be designed
and constructed to withstand the expected velocity anywhere the velocity
exceeds the "prior -to- development" velocity by 10% per-een . STATE

{-}(c) Acceptable management measures. Measures applied alone or in combination to
satisfy the intent of this section are acceptable if there are no objectionable secondary
consequences. The Commission-County recognizes that the management of storm
water runoff to minimize or control downstream channel and bank erosion is a
developing technology. Innovative techniques and ideas will be
considered and may be used when shown to have the potential to produce successful
results. Some alternatives, while not exhaustive, are to: STATE
(1) Avoid increases in surface runoff volume and velocity by including measures
to promote infiltration to compensate for increased runoff from areas rendered
impervious...; STATE
(2) Avoid increases in storm water discharge velocities by using vegetated or
roughened swales and waterways in heu place of closed drains and high -
velocity paved sections.. STATE
(3) Provide energy dissipaters at outlets of storm drainage facilities to reduce
flow velocities to the point of discharge; These may range from simple rip -
rapped sections to complex structures...;
(4) Protect watercourses subject to accelerated erosion by improving cross
sections and /or providing erosion - resistant lining...; and STATE
(5) Upgrade or replace the receiving device structure, or watercourse such that
it will receive and conduct the flow to a point where it is no longer subject to
degradation from the increased rate of flow or increased velocity; STATE
M(d) Exceptions. This rule shall not apply where it can be demonstrated to the County
that storm water discharge velocities will not create an erosion problem in the
receiving watercourse. STATE

compliance with Federal and State Water Quality laws, regulations, and rules. The
County shall also disapprove an erosion control plan if implementation of the Plan
would result in a violation of rules adopted by the Environmental Management
Commission to protect riparian buffers along surface waters. Failure to approve,
approve with modifications, or disapprove a complete erosion and sedimentation

erosion control Plan or a revised erosion control Plan must specifically state in writing
the reasons for disapproval. The County must approve, approve with modifications, or
disapprove a revised Plan within 15 days of receipt, or it is deemed to be approved. If,
following commencement of a land - disturbing activity pursuant to an approved Plan,
the County determines that the Plan is inadequate to meet the requirements of this
awe Ordinance, either upon review of such Plan or inspection of the job site
determines that a significant risk of accelerated erosion or offsite sedimentation exist,
the County rxay shall require any a revision revised Plan ' to comply with

Hi Beth,
I am finished with my review of your ordinance. It looks good. A few suggestions and comments are listed below or
within the attached document itself.
• Several places throughout the ordinance use the word "County" or "county" to refer to the county of
Hanover. There should be a consistent use of the capitalization of this word when it refers to the same
county. Also, it was noted that the word "Ordinance" may be cited as the New Hanover Soil Erosion and
Sedimentation Control Ordinance. You may wish to provide a similar note or sentence that "County" refers to
New Hanover County (though yes, it should be obvious).
• Comments have been posted within the document on pages 17,. 22, and 23.
• Did you want to include an Effective Date or a placeholder for a date for Article VI?
• You may wish to include a definition for a common plan of development within your definitions (Section 23-
233). You can find the state's official definition within the NCG01 Final Permit..
I like the addition of requiring credentials in Section 23 -250 (c). I will work to get that incorporated in the model
ordinance!
If you would like to present the revised ordinance before the state Sedimentation Control Commission, please let me
know.

REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION
MEETING DATE: December 16, 2019
REGULAR
DEPARTMENT: Engineering PRESENTER(S): Jim lannucci, County Engineer
CONTACT(S): Jim lannucci
SUBJECT:
Consideration of a Resolution Creating a Stormwater Services Program
BRIEF SUMMARY:
For almost three years, the county had been working to elevate the level of service of stormwater
conveyances that carry runoff across the county. Raftelis Financial Consultants, Inc. was retained to
assist the county with investigating providing these services to properties in the unincorporated county.
The Feasibility Study for providing stormwater services was completed in 2017. The Implementation
Study was begun at the end of 2018 and is almost complete. A key component of the study was the input
from stakeholders and the general public. Four public meetings were conducted at the Government
Center on Tuesday, July 16, 2019. All meetings were open to the public, however to facilitate the
interactions within similar groups the meetings were conducted separately for developers /major land
owners, non - profits to include area churches, commercial property owners and then finally for the
general public. Prior to the meetings, a media round table was conducted on Monday, July 15, 2019 to
answer questions and get the message out regarding the upcoming meetings. We plan to conduct
another media roundtable prior to the end of the year.
A second round of meetings will be held in the first quarter of 2020 to provide the public with detailed
information on what services will be provided. Specific examples will be provided at that time to
demonstrate the level of service to be provided and the cost of the program for residential and non-
residential properties.
As directed, we intend to proceed with including Stormwater Services for the unincorporated county in
the proposed budget for fiscal year 20/21. Providing services could then begin on July of 2020 to be
accompanied by additional public announcements to inform the public. We plan to utilize contractors to
complete required maintenance in the first year while we assess the status of the system and collect data
on conveyances and existing drainage easements. Staff will also be managing the contracted work
funded through Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) funds to remove downed trees and sediment in
our watersheds as a result of Hurricane Florence. Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funds were also
requested to address the priority drainage issues in the county. Stormwater Services will become part of
the existing Engineering Department and will require the addition of thirteen new positions effective July
1, 2020.
The Stormwater Ordinance will need to be revised to reflect the shift in responsibility for stormwater
maintenance. Staff is proposing a budget amendment to utilize up to $50,000 in funds from the drainage
Capital Improvement Project (CIP) to hire an engineering firm to revise the Stormwater Ordinance. The
Stormwater Ordinance will ultimately become part of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO).
Board of Commissioners - December 16, 2019
ITEM: 11
All residential properties within the unincorporated county will be assessed a flat rate fee equal to one
Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU) of $5.65 per month or $67.80 per year on the tax bill. Raftelis has
assisted the county with determining the amount of impervious cover of all non - residential properties
within the unincorporated county. This calculation will be utilized to determine the fees for these
properties based on the number of ERU's. A discount of 31% will automatically be applied to the fee of
any property that operates and maintains Stormwater Control Measures installed under a New Hanover
County Stormwater Permit since September 2000.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
Adoption of resolution:
1. Establishing a Stormwater Services Program, as an enterprise fund, for the unincorporated area of
New Hanover County effective July 1, 2020.
2. Approving the addition of 13 positions effective July 1, 2020.
3. Accepting the proposed fee structure and inclusion of the fee structure in the FY 2020 -2021 budget
fee schedule.
4. Authorizing the revision of the New Hanover County Stormwater Ordinance in order to
incorporate the Stormwater Services Program with adoption by the New Hanover County Board of
Commissioner prior to July 1, 2020 with an effective date of July 1, 2020.
Approve budget amendment to utilize drainage CIP funds to update the Stormwater Ordinance for
approval in June 2020.

NEW HANOVER COUNTY
Board of Commissioners - December 16, 2019
ITEM: 11- 2 - 5
1. Executive Summary
In 2017 New Hanover County (County) contracted with Raftelis to complete a Stormwater Services Feasibility
Study to evaluate the County's stormwater program and explore the option of funding the evolving stormwater
services program through a fee. The current program is limited by funding and does not meet the County's growing
stormwater management needs. Most of the stormwater management infrastructure is not mapped or cataloged
and little of the system has been analyzed to identify problem spots or integrated solutions to stormwater impacts.
This is especially true in areas where new development abuts older development and the infrastructure is a
patchwork of private and state pipes and ditches. There is a backlog of drainage infrastructure maintenance that
causes poor performance of the conveyances during heavy rains, and flooding and additional channel degradation
occurs in many areas because of the current condition of the infrastructure.
The County intends to elevate the level of service for stormwater maintenance to improve drainage across the
County with a focus on maintaining the major drainage conveyances to ensure proper flow of stormwater across
the County. Based on the results of the feasibility study, in 2018, the County decided to move forward toward
establishing a stormwater services fee to fund the growing stormwater services program.
The County's current approach to stormwater management is focused on coordination, regulation and compliance,
and includes these activities:
• Reviewing and permitting stormwater management plans associated with new development;
• Monitoring stormwater conveyances outside public rights -of -way and in the unincorporated County;
• Reporting and compliance activities associated with the Coastal Area Management Act (LAMA);
• Coordinating stormwater management activities with private and government entities such as NCDOT;
• Mapping and inventorying public and shared stormwater features and easements; and
• Ensuring (through compliance actions rather than actual "on the ground" service provision) stormwater
drainage /conveyance problems are corrected on private property when they impact multiple parcels.
While continuing to provide these services, the expanded program will add services to begin to maintain open or
closed drainage infrastructure that carries public water (runoff from more than one property or downstream from at
least one public or private roadway) within easements extant or granted, and that is not in public or private street
rights of way. Over time, as the County provides this "cross county drainage maintenance" service more fully,
actions to require private owners to provide this type of maintenance will cease as long as the infrastructure in
question fits the definition. Appendix C provides greater detail on which parts of the drainage infrastructure will
qualify.
In addition to taking on greater responsibility to maintain cross county infrastructure, the County will also begin to
make capital investments to repair and upgrade drainage infrastructure. Initially, much of the money allocated to
capital investment will be used for system mapping and condition assessment. However, even while the mapping
and condition assessment is being completed, the County plans to spend some capital funds to fix problems with
the drainage system. In the long run the mapping and condition data will help steer capital dollars to the highest
priority investments and ensure that the drainage infrastructure functions well.
The existing services related to stormwater and drainage consume a portion of the County Engineer's and an
Administrative Specialist's time, as well as all of the time of the Chief Project Engineer, a CAD /GIS Specialist,
and a Drainage Inspector. The annual cost of this labor is about $ 480,000, and coupled with a small amount of
STORMWATER PROGRAM PLAN
Board of Commissioners - December 16, 2019
ITEM: 11- 2 - 6
ongoing funding for small capital projects (approximately $ 140,000 per year), the annualized cost of the current
efforts is about $ 620,000 per year.
In order to provide the planned services, the County will hire additional staff, including a program manager, a
permit assistance technician, two new drainage inspectors, an additional CAD /GIS mapping technician, and eight
drainage maintenance technicians who will provide on- the - ground drainage maintenance services focusing on
cleaning ditches. To fund the existing services plus the expanded efforts toward drainage maintenance and capital
projects, plus modest allowances for operating reserves, the annual revenue required will be about $3.9 million.
Appendix A is the financial planning model and it provides great detail on this cost.
By funding this revenue requirement through a stormwater fee the County can spread the program's cost most
fairly, charging each developed property within the unincorporated County. Undeveloped properties would not be
charged because the rate structure for the fee is to charge based on the impervious surface area (hard surfaces where
rainwater cannot percolate through) found on each property. This is how Wilmington's stormwater fee works, and
more than 50 other jurisdictions across North Carolina, including some counties, charge similar fees. The
recommended rate structure is to charge each single family property for one "equivalent residential unit" (ERU) of
impervious surface area (4,000 square feet of impervious surface area), and charge all other properties in the
unincorporated county based on how many ERUs of impervious area exist on their land. The recommended rate
to generate the needed revenues for the first few years of the program is $67.80 per year per ERU. So, under this
approach each home would be charged $67.80 per year. A non - residential property with 20,000 square feet of
impervious surface would be charged for five ERUs ($339.00 per year) since (20,000/4,000) is five.
Although a rate structure based on impervious surface area is considered fair and is the state of the art for
stormwater fees, there are cases where development in New Hanover County has undertaken steps to reduce runoff
or drainage impacts. The recommended rate structure includes a plan to give ratepayers a 31% discount on the
stormwater fee for residential and non - residential properties that have installed and maintain Stormwater Control
Measures (SCMs) to fulfill development requirements or as retrofits installed to secure the fee credit. Most of these
SCMs have been installed since 2000, driven by development requirements. As part of the stormwater program and
fee, customers with active, compliant stormwater operations and maintenance permits for SCMs would
automatically receive a 31 % reduction on their stormwater bill. If a property owner's association (POA) is the
owner and permit holder for the SCM, properties that are members of the POA and that were permitted for
construction as a result of the SCM would receive the fee credit.
The stormwater services fee would be established by codifying a rate ordinance and the effective date for the fee to
go into effect is July 1, 2020. The fee itself will be conveyed annually as a new line item on tax bills that are mailed
in the late summer /early fall of 2020. In order to ensure accurate billing, impervious area and parcels will need to
be regularly maintained, and annual bills would be updated as development changes occurred in the
unincorporated county.

2. Purpose
The purpose of this document is to provide documentation of the agreed upon elements of the stormwater program
plan, rate structure, billing, and related details. A project close -out report with additional program documentation
and details will be provided at a later date.
3. Background
3.1. Feasibility Study
In 2017 New Hanover County (County) contracted with Raftelis to complete a Stormwater Services Feasibility
Study to evaluate the County's stormwater program and explore the option of funding the evolving stormwater
services program through a fee. As part of this study, Raftelis evaluated the County's existing stormwater services
program, developed four proposed options for the County's future stormwater services program, and calculated
potential fee ranges for each of the proposed options. Based on the results of the feasibility study, in 2018, the
County decided to move forward with a stormwater services fee and the implementation of one of the proposed
stormwater program options.
The proposed stormwater services program option selected from the feasibility study would allow the County to
elevate the level of stormwater service provided by the County. This elevated level of service would include
additional staff as well as an expanded budget for capital projects and contract operations and maintenance and
would be funded through a stormwater fee.
3.2. Implementation
The County is currently in the implementation phase of the project. As part of the implementation phase of the
project the stormwater services program including identification of recommended additional personnel has been
finalized and documented in this report. Billing data including digitizing of impervious area for all non - vacant,
non - residential properties has been completed. The cost estimates from the stormwater services program
finalization and the billing data has been incorporated into a financial model in order to calculate the stormwater
services fee. Documentation of the stormwater services program costs and rate calculations are provided in this
document. A credit program has been developed and the impact on revenues has been incorporated into the
financial model. The credit program structure and eligibility information are also provided in this document.
Development of data maintenance and customer support tools is ongoing and will be completed prior to
implementation. The ordinance establishing the stormwater services fee will be finalized and adopted prior to final
implementation. Public outreach started in June 2019 and will continue through implementation.
3.3 • Public Input
On July 16, 2019, the County held a series of four public outreach meetings. Three of the meetings targeted specific
customer groups including, developers, commercial property owners, and non - profit organizations. The fourth
meeting targeted residential property owners and the general public. The County made a brief presentation on the
stormwater services program, the proposed expanded level of service, and the proposed stormwater services fee. In
consensus among the groups was that the County's current level of service was insufficient and that an expanded
level of service was needed. Many also felt that the proposed expanded level of service might be too low and that
additional staff should be considered. The groups were comfortable with funding the stormwater program through
a fee, especially since the City of Wilmington already has a stormwater fee, but wanted to make sure that the fee
rORMWATER PROGRAM PLAN
Board of Commissioners - December 16, 2019
ITEM: 11- 2 - 8
was fair and equitable and that the level of service and associated fee were high enough to make substantial
improvements to drainage in the County.
3.4• Report Structure
Based on the results of the feasibility study and input from the public, a stormwater program plan was developed to
document the proposed level and extent of stormwater service and capital expenditures to be provided by the
County moving forward. The proposed stormwater fee would fund the stormwater program as documented in this
report. The stormwater fee rate structure, billing policies, credits, and other technical considerations are also
documented in this report. This report is structured as follows:
• Program Plan
• Rate Structure
• Units of Service and Costs
• Technical Considerations
• Policy Considerations
4. Program Plan
New Hanover County is responsible for stormwater management activities within its county boundaries, excluding
the State of North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) roadways and rights -of -way, and land areas
within the City of Wilmington. The existing program is limited by the funding and cannot meet the County's
stormwater management needs. Many of the stormwater management systems are not mapped or cataloged and
there has been very little modeling to understand stormwater impacts in most areas. This is especially true in areas
where new development abuts older development. There is also a backlog of drainage and stormwater conveyance
maintenance. Flooding and environmental degradation occur in many areas because of the current condition of
these systems.
The County intends to elevate the level of service for stormwater maintenance to improve drainage across the
County with a focus on maintaining the drainage conveyance to ensure proper flow of stormwater across the
County.
Stormwater activities are currently funded through the General Fund at approximately $620,000 (FY2017). This
allocation from the General Fund is considered part of general operations and is not separated out into different
stormwater program categories like operations and maintenance, capital, and repair and replacement. Of the
$620,000, approximately $140,000 per year has been used for capital projects while approximately $480,000 funds
review of stormwater management plans, monitoring stormwater conveyances, regulatory reporting and
compliance activities, coordinating stormwater management activities with private and governmental entities,
mapping and inventorying public and shared stormwater features and easements, and ensuring that stormwater
drainage /conveyance problems are corrected on both private and public property when impacting multiple parcels.
Plan review fees supplement the $480,000 and cover a portion of the costs associated with the review of stormwater
management plans. Because the County will be expanding the stormwater services program level of service, none
of the County's existing expenses and activities will be eliminated. The small amount of funds currently spent on
capital projects ($140,000) is currently funded through the General Fund and will be replaced with a larger funding
amount under the County Stormwater Services Program.
In order to elevate the level of service and more fully develop the County's stormwater program, additional
revenue is required to fund expanded operations and maintenance, program, capital, and administration expenses.

ITEM: 11- 2 - 9
4.1. Operations and Maintenance
As part of the current stormwater operations and maintenance the County is responsible for the following
activities:
• Reviewing stormwater management plans and activities associated with new development /construction;
• Monitoring stormwater conveyance in County and shared areas that are not the responsibility of the City
of Wilmington, Town of Carolina Beach, Town of Kure Beach, Town of Wrightsville Beach, or other
incorporated areas or NCDOT;
• Regulatory reporting and compliance activities associated with the Coastal Area Management Act
(CAMA);
• Coordinating stormwater management activities with private and government entities such as NCDOT;
• Mapping and inventorying public and shared stormwater features and easements; and
• Ensuring stormwater drainage /conveyance problems are corrected on both private and public property
when they impact multiple parcels.
Several Full Time Equivalent (FTE) positions in New Hanover County government are engaged in stormwater
activities including a portion of the County Engineer's rime, the Chief Project Engineer, a CAD /GIS Specialist, a
Drainage Inspector, and a portion of an Administrative Specialist's time.
The County intends to expand the level of service to maintain open or closed drainage infrastructure that carries
public water (runoff from more than one property or downstream from at least one public or private roadway)
within easements extant or granted, and that is not in public or private street rights of way.
In order to support this expanded level of service, the County will hire the following additional staff to support the
operations and maintenance portion of the program:
• Program Manager
• Permit assistance position
• Drainage maintenance technicians (8 FTEs, to be ramped up over the first year)
• Two Additional Drainage Inspectors
• Additional CAD /GIS Specialist
This additional staff will allow the County to have additional mapping and inventory capabilities to fully document
drainage assets, better manage County permitting requirements, and maintain drainage assets and provide on -call
and emergency drainage services. Additional staff will supplement the current staff and current stormwater
activities including plan review will continue under the new, expanded County stormwater program.
With this expanded level of service, there will be more stormwater maintenance work and small projects that will
be completed to maintain the flow of stormwater across the County. The Program Manager position is an
engineering position and the role of this manager is to oversee contractor maintenance and small capital project
work. In addition, this person will be responsible for prioritizing projects and maintenance efforts, coordinating
with contractors and inspectors, and deployment of drainage maintenance teams.
The County is subject to many environmental and stormwater related regulations. The Permit Assistance position
would assist contractors navigating the permitting process for capital projects as well as coordinating and working
with contractors to ensure successful completion of these projects. Initially, this person will coordinate the asset
rORMWATER PROGRAM PLAN
Board of Commissioners - December 16, 2019
ITEM: 11- 2 - 10
mapping and condition assessment. The results of this assessment will help to identify future capital projects. The
person may also aid in customer service by replying to customer inquiries as needed.
The drainage maintenance technicians would be divided into two teams of four FTEs. Having two drainage
maintenance teams would allow for the County to provide more efficient service by being able to locate one team
in the southern portion of the County and one team in the northern portion of the County. The hiring of these
drainage maintenance teams will ramp up over the course of the first year. Additional contracted drainage
maintenance services will be used during this first year to provide supplementary drainage maintenance while the
drainage maintenance teams are being ramped up. The use of grant funding will allow stormwater fee revenue to
be reallocated to capital projects and expanded contract maintenance and will allow the County time to ramp up
staffing while still making an immediate and significant improvement in the County's drainage system. As
opportunities arise, the County is committed to seeking out grant funding and other funding sources to improve
drainage in the County and maximize the funds collected through the stormwater services fee.
Like the drainage maintenance teams, two additional drainage inspectors would allow for more efficient delivery of
service by having one inspector operate in the southern portions of the County, while the other operates in the
northern portion of the County. The current inspector would continue to respond to drainage complaints and
address nuisance violations. In addition, the current inspector will assist the two additional drainage inspectors
with coordination and prioritization of effort as well as pass along institutional knowledge that the current
inspector has gained through his years of experience with the County. This team of inspectors would allow the
County to transition from the current complaint driven system to a more proactive system and address deficiencies
in the Sediment and Erosion Control Program.
The additional CAD /GIS Specialist would allow the County to have mapping and inventory capabilities but
would also help with the administration of the stormwater fee by performing required impervious area digitizing
updates and tracking of credit eligibility.
Even with additional drainage maintenance teams, the County expects that some drainage maintenance will need
to be completed by contractors. The contractor maintenance would supplement the drainage maintenance teams
and would allow the County to complete specialty projects and projects that require additional and unique
equipment.
Training, equipment, building and storage space and other non -labor expenses to support operations and
maintenance staff and activities are additional costs that are within the operations and maintenance category.
Total Operations and Maintenance = Approximately $ 2,517,000 annually
4.2. Capital
The County possesses little data about the quality, location, and condition of its drainage assets. As the County
gathers more information on stormwater assets through mapping efforts, the County will be able to develop a
capital improvement plan /approach for the installation and replacement /rehabilitation of major drainage assets.
Once the County understands the location and condition of its drainage assets, the County will be able to take a
more proactive approach to managing drainage across the County.
In addition, while the mapping and condition assessment is being completed, the County expects to spend some of
these funds to fix emergent problems with the drainage system. It is estimated that $600,000 per year would
provide adequate funding for emergency repairs until the capital plan can be fully developed.
10 NEW HANOVER COUNTY Board of Commissioners - December 16, 2019
ITEM: 11- 2 - 11
Total Capital = Approximately $600,000 annually
4.3 • Program and Fee Administration
The creation of a new stormwater fee will necessitate new administration costs associated with the fee. In addition,
the expanded level of service will also require some administrative costs to ensure efficient delivery of these
expanded services. Some administrative tasks associated with the fee will be completed by existing and additional
recommended stormwater services staff while other tasks may be delegated out to contractors. The County would
like to minimize administrative overhead while still maintaining a high level of customer service. It is expected that
customers service inquiries will come through the tax office and some will come through Stormwater Services or
through the online portal. Depending on the nature of the inquiry, basic questions may be resolved by tax office or
call center staff. For more complex questions, inquiries will be resolved by the County Engineer, Chief Project
Engineer, Program Manager, and /or CAD /GIS Specialist depending on the nature of the question.
Other administrative services expected to be delegated to contractors include
• Data maintenance services
• Easement and project planning services
• Design services
• Asset management planning
• Uniform Development Ordinance (UDO) assistance
The majority of these activities will be completed annually, but the level of effort may vary from year to year. Data
maintenance services will be completed annually to ensure the accuracy of the fee. Easement and project planning
services will be completed primarily to support the work of the drainage maintenance teams and contract
maintenance efforts. Design services and asset management planning will support the larger scale capital projects.
The County is currently updating its UDO and engineering services will be required to develop the UDO and
ensure that the UDO comports with County stormwater goals and regulations.
Total Program and Fee Administration = Approximately $ 585,000 annually
4.4• Summary
The program plan described above including operations and maintenance, capital, and program administration
would elevate the level of service provided by New Hanover County. This program would allow the County to
fully meet the County's stormwater management needs and improve drainage and stormwater conveyance
mamtenance.

for the Financial Planning Model.
5 Rate Structure
5.1. Impervious Area
To provide a dedicated and reliable source of funding for stormwater, a stormwater fee would be charged to every
developed property based on the demand it places on the stormwater system.
Under a fee system, the County would charge a stormwater fee to each developed property based on the
characteristics of the property that drive demand for stormwater management services. The most commonly used
metric to determine stormwater fees in the industry is impervious area.' Across the Country, stormwater utilities
overwhelmingly use impervious area as the basis for stormwater fees.
Impervious surfaces are those covered by a hard material through which rainwater cannot pass, such as buildings
and parking lots. The amount of impervious surface on a parcel is directly related to the quantity of stormwater to
be handled by the drainage system. For bare soil and vegetated ground cover, some water will infiltrate into the
ground —even during heavy rain — rather than run across the surface. For impervious surfaces, on the other hand,
water cannot infiltrate into the ground, which causes the peak and total volume of runoff from a parcel of land to
be higher than it would otherwise. Regardless of how the land is managed, runoff tends to gather nutrients and
other potential pollutants. Because virtually none of this runoff (and the pollutants it carries) soaks into the ground,
runoff from impervious surfaces direct a greater volume of harmful materials toward receiving waterbodies than do
pervious surfaces.
Because impervious surface is the driver for many program costs, the County intends to use the measured
impervious area on a parcel as the foundation of the rate structure.

ITEM: 11- 2 - 13
5.2. Rate Structure
Many utilities implement a simplified charge or set of charges for all single family residential (SFR) customers.
Single family residential land parcels are often homogenous in their development patterns, lending themselves to a
simplified rate structure. They are also numerous and so it is also efficient, from an administrative viewpoint, to
treat them all the same. Since it is both equitable and efficient, many utilities adopt a single flat rate for this
property class.
Under a flat residential rate, customers are charged the same amount regardless of size and amount of impervious
area on an individual property. Typically, under this structure each SFR property is charged for 1 equivalent
residential unit (ERU), the amount of impervious area on a typical SFR parcel. During the feasibility study, the
typical amount of impervious area on an SFR property in the County was determined to be 4,000 square feet.
Therefore, 1 ERU equals 4,000 square feet. The County will employ a flat rate for SFR properties and each would
be charged for 1 ERU.
Non - single family residential (NSFR) parcels are typically billed a stormwater fee based on the number of ERUs or
part thereof. For example, if an NSFR property had 10,000 square feet of impervious area, instead of charging the
property for 2.5 ERUs, the property would be billed for 3 ERUs.
The use of an ERU of impervious surface rather than a smaller unit limits the effort and expense of data
maintenance. Properties with no impervious surface are considered undeveloped and would not be billed for
stormwater.
In order to support this rate structure, all NSFR properties in the County were measured. Figure 1 and Figure 2
below show the measured impervious area for two NSFR properties.

5.3• Credits
Throughout the County, Stormwater Control Measures (SCMs) have been installed to fulfill development
requirements, mostly since 2000. Property owners are required to operate and maintain these stormwater systems
that are under a stormwater operations and maintenance permit. These SCMs play an important role in the
mitigation of stormwater quantity and quality issues in the County. As part of the stormwater program and fee, a
proposed credit program was developed to provide a mechanism by which customers with active, compliant
stormwater operations and maintenance permits for SCMs can receive a reduction on their stormwater bill.
This credit program is based on the premise that customers who implement practices, or activities that reduce their
demand for stormwater should receive a reduction on their fee. Credits provide a mechanism for recognizing
reduced demand in the same way that a meter automatically recognizes reduced demand.
Stormwater SCMs that are properly installed and maintained results in individual parcels producing less runoff and
relying less heavily on existing stormwater infrastructure. Such parcels have reduced their demand for stormwater
service. In order to acknowledge this, the stormwater services will give ongoing stormwater fee credits to eligible
properties.
Customers with an active stormwater operations and maintenance permit for SCMs constructed after 2000 are
eligible for a stormwater credit. If a property owner's association (POA) is the owner and permit holder for the
SCM, properties that are members of the POA and that were permitted for construction as a result of the SCM are
eligible for a stormwater credit. Customers that have an active stormwater operations and maintenance permit will
be automatically enrolled in the credit program and will receive a credit on their bill. No additional application is
required. Continuing receipt of credit is contingent upon the proper maintenance and function of SCMs in
compliance with a permit. Figure 3 below shows a SCM owned by a POA. All members of the POA would receive
14 NEW HANOVER COUNTY Board of Commissioners - December 16, 2019

a credit on their bills. Figure 4 below shows a SCM owned by a non - residential customer. This individual customer
would receive a credit.
Figure 3. Residential POA Stormwater SCM
Figure 4. Non - Residential Stormwater SCM
The credit amount is calculated based on the reduction in demand for stormwater service property has as a result of
the stormwater SCM. The credit amount was calculated as 31 %, meaning that each parcel that is eligible for a

Board of Commissioners - December 16, 2019
ITEM: 11- 2 - 16
credit will receive a discount of 31% off their stormwater fee. This credit amount was incorporated into the
financial planning model in order to calculate the revenue impact of the credit program.
6. Units of Service and Costs
6.1. Costs and Projections
In order to understand the revenue requirements and calculate rates for a stormwater fee, a financial planning
model was developed. This financial planning model projects program costs for a 5 -year period taking into account
inflation rates and projected growth. In addition, the financial planning model incorporates credits, reserves, and
other financial and billing policies.
6.1.1.INFLATION RATES
Each line item was assigned an inflation rate based on the type of expense. Table 1 below is a table of the expense
types and the associated inflation rates.

6.1.2.CREDITS
Customers with an active stormwater operations and maintenance permit will receive a credit of 31 %. Currently
there are a total of 17,072 ERUs that are expected to be eligible to receive a credit.
6.1.3. RESERVES
Operating and capital reserves are set aside funds that are important for covering unexpected or unscheduled costs.
The details of these funds are described below in the `Reserve Policies' section. Both of these funds will be built up
over a 5 -year period. The build -up of these funds is incorporated into the revenue requirement and rate calculation.
If either of the funds are drawn down, it is expected that they would be replenished.
6.1.4. COLLECTION RATES AND GROWTH RATES
Collection rates and growth rates assumptions that were incorporated into the model include the following:
• Collection Rate = 95%
• Growth in Residential ERUs = 0%
• Growth in Non - Residential ERUs = 1%
• Growth in ERUs receiving credits = 1%

Within the unincorporated County there are 35,277 residential ERUs and 31,064 non - residential ERUs for a total
of 66,341 billable ERUs, gross, before the impact of credits is incorporated into the projection. Table 3 below is a
table showing the net projected ERUs once the credit impact and growth rates are incorporated into the model.
These ERU projections are used to calculate rates.

Table 4. Calculated Stormwater Rates
Rate per ERU per Year $ 64.13 $ 65.82 $ 67.57 $ 69.39 $ 71.28
The County would most likely not increase rates each year and would instead establish a rate that held steady for
several years before considering any rate increases. The 5 -year average rate is $67.68 per year or $5.64 per month.
For simplicity and ease of communication with the public, the County may consider a rate of $67.80 per year or
$5.65 per month.
7. Technical Considerations
7.1. Billing
The stormwater fee will be conveyed as an annual fee on the County tax bill. County engineering staff will
coordinate with the tax office to deliver fee amounts that should be applied to parcels in the unincorporated
County based on the stormwater fee rate structure, billing policies, and credit eligibility.
rTORMWATER PROGRAM PLAN 17
Board of Commissioners - December 16, 2019
ITEM: 11- 2 - 18
7.2. Customer Service
Given that the stormwater fee will be conveyed on the County tax bill, it is expected that customers will contact the
tax office with questions regarding the stormwater fee. The County engineering staff will work with tax office to
ensure that staff will be equipped to answer basic questions related to the stormwater fee. More detailed questions
related to the stormwater fee will be referred to and answered by the County engineering department. More
detailed questions may include questions on the impervious area calculation for a property, credit eligibility, and
appeal requests. Customer service support materials will be developed and training on them will be provided prior
to stormwater fee implementation.
7.3. Data Maintenance
Bills will need to be updated annually to ensure that customers are being billed correctly. Changes to data that must
be kept up -to -date include changes to parcel boundaries, impervious area, parcel address and ownership
information, aggregation of parcels, credits, and customer account related changes. Having in place a process for
maintaining this data and tracking any changes to the data is essential to ensure accuracy and customer confidence
in the billing. The County has access to new imagery annually, either from the state of North Carolina or through a
flyover completed by the County. This new imagery will be used to update the impervious area data. If available,
the County may use internal engineering, tax, and GIS staff to complete this annual data update or may consider
using a contractor to support data maintenance. The costs associated with data maintenance are estimated at
$50,000 and these costs have been incorporated as administrative costs into the financial planning model.
8. Policy Considerations
8.1. Drainage Maintenance Policy
A drainage maintenance policy has been developed to provide guidance on when and where the County will
perform drainage maintenance (Appendix Q. The County will maintain cross - County drainage if the County has
an easement and /or permission. Cross - County drainage conveyances are those that meet the following tests:
The drainage conveyance is not in the NCDOT roadway right of way
2. The drainage conveyance does not originate within a permitted area upstream of or inclusive of a
permitted SCM
Table 5 captures the above definition of cross - County drainage and describes the conditions under which the
County will perform maintenance.

ITEM: 11- 2 - 19
* Under certain conditions the County may maintain NC DOT rights of way if funded by NCDOT
Additional details are provided in the County's standalone drainage maintenance policy document.
8.2. Rate Ordinance
The stormwater fee rate structure, rates, jurisdiction, billings, collections, exemptions, appeals, and enforcement
will be documented in an ordinance adopted by the County Board of Commissioners.
8.3. Billing Policies
8.3.1.SFR ADJACENT
Adjacent residential parcels that have common ownership and where only one dwelling exists on one of the parcels
or splits the parcel will only be charged 1 ERU. The parcel that does not contain the dwelling will be identified as
an SFR adjacent parcel and will not be billed, while the parcel with the dwelling will be billed 1 ERU like other
residential properties. The SFR adjacent parcel may contain other non - dwelling structures or impervious area such
as driveways, garages, or sheds. The intent of this policy is to avoid penalizing a property owner by double
charging the property owner for not recombining parcels.
8.3.2.MULTIPLE RESIDENCES ON ONE PARCEL
Some parcels in the County have more than one residential dwelling on a single parcel. In these cases, the parcel
will be billed based on the number of dwellings on the parcel. For example, if a parcel has two residential dwellings
on the property, then that customer will be billed for 2 ERUs, or 1 ERU for each dwelling. This policy aligns with
the intent of flat rate residential billing where each SFR property is for 1 ERU.
8.3.3.MIMIMUM MAPPING UNIT
Parcels with a measured impervious area of less than 300 square feet of impervious area will not be billed for
stormwater. There are slight imperfections in the geographic representation of parcels as well as in the
orthorectification of imagery and as a result small amounts of impervious area on a parcel may be inadvertently
captured and identified as being located on the parcel when in fact the small amount of impervious area is located
in the right -of -way or on the adjacent parcel. In order to ensure that undeveloped properties with no impervious
area are not inadvertently billed for stormwater, a minimum mapping unit of 300 square feet has been established.
8.4. Reserve Policies
As referenced above, operating and capital reserves are set aside funds that are important for covering unexpected
or unscheduled costs. The operating reserves target is set at months of operating and maintenance expenses. The
capital reserves target is set at the 5 -year average of annual capital costs with the annual capital reserve contribution
not to exceed 10% of the previous year's revenue requirement. Both of these funds will be built up over a 5 -year
period. If either of the funds are drawn down, it is expected that they would be replenished. These funds will allow
the County to have easy access to additional funds to be used to help with unexpected costs such as hurricane
preparations, capital project overruns, and debris clean up.

g. Summary
New Hanover County plans to implement the stormwater fee in summer 2020. The level of service and program
described in this report would start July 1, 2020 and the fee would be conveyed on the tax bill sent out in August
2020. The program and implementation timeline are provided in Appendix B.
It is recommended that the County implement a rate of $67.80 per year in order to support the County's desired
level of service. The program described in this report would allow the County to greatly improve drainage
conveyances, mitigate flooding, and better manage stormwater assets across the County improving the quality of
life of the residents of New Hanover County.

New Hanover County Drainage Maintenance Policy - DRAFT
New Hanover County (County) is responsible for stormwater management activities within its county boundaries,
excluding the State of North Carolina Department of Transportation ( NCDOT) roadways and easements, and land
areas within the City of Wilmington limits, Town of Carolina Beach, Town of Kure Beach, Town of Wrightsville
Beach, or other incorporated areas. The existing program is limited by the funding and cannot meet the County's
stormwater management needs. Many of the stormwater management systems are not mapped or cataloged and
there has been very little modeling to understand stormwater impacts in most areas. This is especially true in areas
where new development abuts older development. There is also a backlog of drainage and stormwater conveyance
maintenance. Flooding and environmental degradation occur in many areas because of the current condition of
these poorly maintained systems.
The County plans to elevate the level of service for stormwater maintenance to improve drainage across the
County. The County will maintain cross - County drainage if the County has an easement and /or permission.
Cross - County drainage conveyances are those that meet all two of the following tests:
1) The drainage conveyance is not in the NCDOT roadway right of way
2) The drainage conveyance does not originate within a permitted area upstream of or inclusive of a
permitted SCM
The below table captures the above definition of cross - County drainage and describes the conditions under which
the County will perform maintenance.

CREDIT ELIGIBILITY
Board of Commissioners - December 16, 2019
ITEM: 11- 2 - 30
New Hanover County Credits Policy - DRAFT
Overview
In June 2020, elected officials in New Hanover County passed an ordinance establishing a Stormwater
Services Fee. Per Section X(x) of the Ordinance Establishing a Stormwater Service Fee, utility customers
can receive a credit toward their annual stormwater fee based on measures that mitigate runoff to the
County's larger stormwater system (called stormwater management practices, stormwater control
measures, or SCMs). This document serves as the Credits Policy, referenced in Section X(x), below.
Purpose
The purpose of establishing a credit program is to provide a mechanism by which customers with active
stormwater operations and maintenance permits for a Stormwater Control Measure (SCM) can receive a
reduction on their stormwater bill.
Policy
This credit program is based on the premise that customers who implement practices, or activities that
reduce the amount of stormwater runoff going into stormwater conveyance systems should receive a
reduction on their fee. Credits provide a mechanism for recognizing reduced demand in the same way
that a meter automatically recognizes reduced demand.
Stormwater SCMs that are properly installed and maintained results in individual parcels producing less
runoff and relying less heavily on existing stormwater infrastructure. Such parcels have reduced their
demand for stormwater service. In order to acknowledge this, the stormwater services will give ongoing
stormwater fee credits to eligible properties.
Customers with an active stormwater operations and maintenance permit for SCMs constructed after
2000 are eligible for a stormwater credit. If a property owner's association (POA) is the owner and permit
holder for the SCM, properties that are members of the POA and that were permitted for construction as
a result of the SCM are eligible for a stormwater credit. Customers that have an active stormwater
operations and maintenance permit will be automatically enrolled in the credit program and will receive
a credit on their bill. No additional application is required. Continuing receipt of credit is contingent
upon the proper maintenance and function of SCMs in compliance with a permit.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance of SCMs is required under the stormwater operations and maintenance permit and is
required for continued receipt of credits. Maintenance must follow the specifications in the issued
stormwater operations and maintenance permit.
Enrollment Process
Customers that have an active stormwater operations and maintenance permit will be automatically
enrolled in the credit program and will receive a credit on their bill. No additional application is required.

CONTACT(S): Lisa Wurtzbacher and Martha Wayne, Deputy Chief Financial Officer
SUBJECT:
Consideration of a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of the County of New Hanover,
North Carolina Providing for the Issuance of Not to Exceed $3,700,000 General Obligation School
Bonds, Series 2020
BRIEF SUMMARY:
Pursuant to and in accordance with the bond order authorizing $160,000,000 General Obligation School
bonds adopted by the Board of County Commissioners on August 11, 2014, effective when it was
approved by the voters of the County at the referendum held on November 4, 2014, the County proposes
to issue general obligation school bonds in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed $3,700,000. The
County desires that the bonds be sold by the Local Government Commission through a competitive sale
with a sale date on or about January 22, 2020.
The County has previously funded $160,000,000 of project costs related to school construction projects
through an August 2015, July 2017, and September 2018 sale. Due to premiums the County received on
the bonds, we currently have $12,760,000 left in authorized but unissued general obligation bonds. The
proposed bond sale will provide the necessary cash flow for the purchase of various school capital needs
for fiscal year 2020. As a part of the fiscal year 2020 budget, these capital items were to be funded
through debt proceeds.
Staff proposes that the forms of the following documents relating to the transaction described above be
approved, entered into and delivered as applicable, to effectuate the proposed financing:
1. the Notice of Sale
2. the Preliminary Official Statement together with the final Official Statement
The County expects to remain in compliance with all debt policy limits with the issuance of this proposed
transaction.

the redemption date in writing to DTC or its nominee as the registered owner of the 2020 Bonds, by
prepaid certified or registered United States mail (or by such other means as permitted by DTC's rules
and procedures), at the address provided to the County by DTC, but any failure or defect in respect of
such mailing will not affect the validity of the redemption. If DTC, or its nominee, is not the registered

United States mail, to the then - registered owners of the 2020 Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed at

will take or cause to be taken all lawful actions within its power necessary to rescind or correct such
actions or omissions promptly on having knowledge thereof. The County covenants that it will comply
with all the requirements of Section 148 of the Code, including the rebate requirements, and that it will
not permit at any time any of the proceeds of the 2020 Bonds or other funds under their control be used,
directly or indirectly, to acquire any asset or obligation, the acquisition of which would cause the 2020
Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" for purposes of Section 148 of the Code. The County covenants that it
will comply with the provisions of the Arbitrage and Tax Regulatory Certificate.
Section 12. The County Chief Financial Officer is hereby directed to create and establish a
special fund to be designated "County of New Hanover, North Carolina General Obligation School

Section 19. Those portions of this Resolution other than Section 18 may be amended or
supplemented, from time to time, without the consent of the owners of the 2020 Bonds if in the opinion of
nationally recognized bond counsel, such amendment or supplement would not adversely affect the
interests of the owners of the 2020 Bonds and would not cause the interest on the 2020 Bonds to be
included in the gross income of a recipient thereof for federal income tax purposes. This Resolution may
be amended or supplemented with the consent of the owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the outstanding 2020 Bonds, exclusive of 2020 Bonds, if any, owned by the County, but a modification
or amendment (1) may not, without the express consent of any owner of 2020 Bonds, reduce the principal
amount of any 2020 Bond, reduce the interest rate payable on it, extend its maturity or the times for
paying interest, change the monetary medium in which principal and interest is payable, or reduce the
percentage of consent required for amendment or modification and (2) as to an amendment to Section 18,
must be limited as described therein.
Any act done pursuant to a modification or amendment consented to by the owners of the
2020 Bonds is binding on all owners of the 2020 Bonds and will not be deemed an infringement of any of
the provisions of this Resolution, whatever the character of the act may be, and may be done and
performed as fully and freely as if expressly permitted by the terms of this Resolution. After consent has
been given, no owner of a 2020 Bond has any right or interest to object to the action, to question its
propriety or to enjoin or restrain the County from taking any action pursuant to a modification or
amendment.
If the County proposes an amendment or supplemental resolution to this Resolution requiring the
consent of the owners of the 2020 Bonds, the registrar for the 2020 Bonds will, on being satisfactorily
indemnified with respect to expenses, cause notice of the proposed amendment to be sent to each owner
of the 2020 Bonds then outstanding by first -class mail, postage prepaid, to the address of such owner as it
appears on the registration books; but the failure to receive such notice by mailing by any owner, or any
defect in the mailing thereof, will not affect the validity of any proceedings pursuant hereto. Such notice
will briefly set forth the nature of the proposed amendment and will state that copies thereof are on file at
the designated office of the registrar for the 2020 Bonds for inspection by all owners of the 2020 Bonds.
If, within 60 days or such longer period as may be prescribed by the County following the giving of such
notice, the owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of 2020 Bonds then outstanding have
consented to the proposed amendment, the amendment will be effective as of the date stated in the notice.
Section 20. Nothing in this Resolution precludes (a) the payment of the 2020 Bonds from
the proceeds of refunding bonds or (b) the payment of the 2020 Bonds from any legally available funds.
If the County causes to be paid, or has made provisions to pay, on maturity or on redemption
before maturity, to the owners of the 2020 Bonds the principal of the 2020 Bonds (including accrued
interest thereon), through setting aside trust funds or setting apart in a reserve fund or special trust account
created pursuant to this Resolution or otherwise, or through the irrevocable segregation for that purpose in
some sinking fund or other fund or trust account with an escrow agent or otherwise, money sufficient
therefor, including, but not limited to, interest earned or to be earned on Federal Securities, the County
will so notify Moody's, S &P and Fitch Ratings, as applicable, and then such 2020 Bonds will be
considered to have been discharged and satisfied, and the principal of the 2020 Bonds (including accrued
interest thereon) will no longer be deemed to be outstanding and unpaid; provided, however, that nothing
in this Resolution requires the deposit of more than such Federal Securities as may be sufficient, taking
into account both the principal amount of such Federal Securities and the interest to earned thereon, to
implement any such defeasance.
If such a defeasance occurs and after the County receives an opinion of a nationally recognized
accounting or verification firm that the segregated money or Federal Securities together with interest

If less than all of the 2020 Bonds are called for redemption, the County will select the maturity or
maturities of the 2020 Bonds to be redeemed in such manner as the County in its discretion may
determine and DTC and its participants will determine which of the 2020 Bonds within a maturity will be
redeemed in accordance with its rules and procedures; provided, however, that the portion of any
2020 Bond to be redeemed will be in principal amount of $5,000 or integral multiples thereof and that, in
selecting 2020 Bonds for redemption, each 2020 Bond will be considered as representing that number of
2020 Bonds which is obtained by dividing the principal amount of such 2020 Bond by $5,000. Whenever
the County elects to redeem 2020 Bonds, notice of such redemption of 2020 Bonds, stating the
redemption date, redemption price and any conditions to the redemption and identifying the 2020 Bonds
or portions thereof to be redeemed by reference to their numbers and further stating that on such
redemption date there will become due and payable on each 2020 Bond or portion thereof so to be
redeemed, the principal thereof, and interest accrued to the redemption date and that from and after such
date interest thereon will cease to accrue, will be given not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days before
the redemption date in writing to DTC or its nominee as the registered owner of the 2020 Bonds, by
prepaid certified or registered United States mail (or by such other means as permitted by DTC's rules
and procedures), at the address provided to the County by DTC, but any failure or defect in respect of
such mailing will not affect the validity of the redemption. If DTC, or its nominee, is not the registered
owner of the 2020 Bonds, the County will give notice at the time set forth above by prepaid first class
United States mail, to the then - registered owners of the 2020 Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed at
the last address shown on the registration books kept by the County.
It is hereby certified and recited that all conditions, acts and things required by the constitution or
statutes of the State of North Carolina to exist, be performed or happen precedent to or in the issuance of
this 2020 Bond, exist, have been performed and have happened, and that the amount of this 2020 Bond,
together with all other indebtedness of the County, is within every debt and other limit prescribed by said
constitution or statutes of the State of North Carolina. The faith and credit of the County are hereby
pledged to the punctual payment of the principal of and interest on this 2020 Bond in accordance with its
terms.

for and on behalf of such institution by an officer or agent who is duly authorized to bind the prospec-
tive 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 ac-
curacy and completeness of such information.
The Bonds will be general obligations of the County and 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 August 1, 2020, 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 15th day of the month preceding an interest payment
date or a bond payment date.
The Bonds maturing on or before February 1, 2030 will not be subject to redemption prior to
maturity. The Bonds maturing on or after February 1, 2031 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, 2030, 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 dis-
cretion 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 de-
termining beneficial ownership of the Bonds, if less than all of the Bonds within a maturity are re-
deemed, DTC shall determine in accordance with its rules and procedures 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%
with a maximum interest rate of 5 %. 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 semian-
nual interest rate, compounded semiannually, necessary to discount the debt service payments from
the payment dates to the expected delivery date (February 11, 2020) 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 ad-
justment after the receipt and opening of sealed bids for their purchase as described below.
The aggregate principal amount of the Bonds may be increased or decreased after the re-
ceipt and opening of sealed bids for their purchase in an amount determined by the County
in its sole discretion not to exceed 20% of the aggregate principal amount shown above.
The principal amount of each maturity of the Bonds may be increased or decreased by an
amount not to exceed 20% 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 trans-
mission. 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.
Bidders may Contact First Tryon Advisors at (704) 926 -2458 (Attention: Will Ahlum) not later
than 9:30 a.m., North Carolina Time, on the date of sale for more information.
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 2020 (County of New Hanover)." A good faith deposit (the "Deposit ") in the amount of $74,000
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 uncondition-
ally 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 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
4

Deposit and any interest earnings will be remitted to the successful bidder as and for full liquidated
damages.
The winning bidder shall assist the County in establishing the issue price of the Bonds and shall
execute and deliver to the County at the time of delivery of the Bonds an "issue price" or similar cer-
tificate setting forth the reasonably expected initial offering price to the public or the sales price or
prices of the Bonds, together with the supporting pricing wires or equivalent communications, sub-
stantially in the form attached hereto, with such modifications as may be appropriate or necessary, in
the reasonable judgment of the winning bidder, the County and Bond Counsel to the County.
The County intends that the provisions of Section 1.148- 1(f)(3)(i) of the United States Treasury
Regulations (defining "competitive sale" for purposes of establishing the issue price of bonds) will apply
to the initial sale of the Bonds (the "competitive sale requirements ") because:
(1) the Commission shall disseminate this Notice of Sale for the Bonds to potential underwrit-
ers in a manner that is reasonably designed to reach potential underwriters;
(2) all bidders shall have an equal opportunity to bid;
(3) the Commission expects to receive bids from at least three underwriters of municipal bonds
who have established industry reputations for underwriting new issuances of municipal bonds; and
(4) the Commission anticipates awarding the sale of the Bonds to the respective bidders who
submit a firm offer to purchase the Bonds at the lowest interest cost as set forth in this Notice.
Any bid submitted pursuant to this Notice shall be considered a firm offer for the purchase of
the Bonds, as specified in the bid.
In the event that the competitive sale requirements for the Bonds as specified above
are not satisfied, the County shall so advise the winning bidder and the provisions set forth
below shall apply. Upon such event, the County may determine to treat (i) the first price at which
10% of a maturity of the Bonds (the "10% test ") is sold to the public as the issue price of that maturity
and/or (ii) the initial offering price to the public as of the sale date of any maturity of the Bonds as the
issue price of that maturity (the "hold- the - offering -price rule "), in each case applied on a maturity -by-
maturity basis. The winning bidder for the Bonds shall promptly advise the County upon the award
of the Bonds of (i) the initial offering price to the public of each maturity of the Bonds and (ii) each
maturity of the Bonds that satisfies the 10% test. Any maturities of the Bonds that do not satisfy the
10% test as of the date and time of award of the Bonds shall be subject to the hold- the - offering -price
rule as described below. The winning bidder may not cancel its bid in the event that the hold -the-
offering -price rule applies to any maturity of the Bonds. Bidders should prepare their bids on the
assumption that some or all of the maturities of the Bonds will be subject to the hold- the - offering -price
rule in order to establish the issue price of the Bonds in the event the competitive sale requirements
for the Bonds are not satisfied.
By submitting a bid for the Bonds, the winning bidder shall (i) confirm that the underwriters
have offered or will offer the Bonds to the public on or before the sale date at the offering price or prices
(the "initial offering price "), or at the corresponding yield or yields, set forth in the bid submitted by
the winning bidder and (ii) agree, on behalf of the underwriters participating in the purchase of the
Bonds, that the underwriters will neither offer nor sell unsold Bonds of any maturity to which the
hold- the - offering -price rule shall apply to any person at a price that is higher than the initial offering
price to the public during the period starting on the sale date and ending on the earlier of:
(1) the close of the fifth (5th) business day after the sale date; or
5
Board ot Uommissioners - December 16, 2019
ITEM: 12- 2 - 5
(2) the date on which the underwriters have sold at least 10% of that maturity of the Bonds to
the public at a price that is no higher than the initial offering price to the public.
The winning bidder shall advise the County promptly after the close of the fifth (5th) business
day after the sale date whether the underwriters sold at least 10% of each maturity of the Bonds
subject to the hold the offering price rule to the public at prices that are no higher than the initial
offering price for such maturity prior to offering or selling any Bonds of such maturity at a price higher
than the initial offering price to the public.
The County acknowledges that, in making the representations set forth above, the winning
bidder will rely on (i) the agreement of each underwriter to comply with the requirements for estab-
lishing the issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the
hold- the - offering -price rule, if applicable, as set forth in an agreement among underwriters and the
related pricing wires, (ii) in the event a selling group has been created in connection with the initial
sale of the Bonds to the public, the agreement of each dealer who is a member of the selling group to
comply with the requirements for establishing the issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited
to, its agreement to comply with the hold- the - offering -price rule, if applicable, as set forth in a selling
group agreement and the related pricing wires, and (iii) in the event that an underwriter or a dealer
who is a member of the selling group is a party to a third -party distribution agreement that was em-
ployed in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, the agreement of each broker -
dealer that is a party to such agreement to comply with the requirements for establishing the issue
price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold- the - offering-
price rule, if applicable, as set forth in the third -party distribution agreement and the related pricing
wires. The County further acknowledges that each underwriter shall be solely liable for its failure to
comply with the requirements for establishing the issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited
to, its agreement to comply with the hold- the - offering -price rule, if applicable, and that no underwriter
shall be liable for the failure of any other underwriter, or of any dealer who is a member of a selling
group, or of any broker - dealer that is a party to a third -party distribution agreement to comply with
the requirements for establishing the issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its agree-
ment to comply with the hold- the - offering -price rule, if applicable.
By submitting a bid, each bidder confirms that:
(i) any agreement among underwriters, any selling group agreement and each third -party dis-
tribution agreement (to which the bidder is a party) relating to the initial sale of the Bonds to the
public, together with the related pricing wires, contains or will contain language obligating each un-
derwriter, each dealer who is a member of the selling group, and each broker - dealer that is a party to
such third -party distribution agreement, as applicable:
(A) (1) to report the prices at which it sells to the public the unsold Bonds of each
maturity allocated to it, whether or not the delivery date of the Bonds has occurred, until it is
notified by the winning bidder that either the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Bonds of
that maturity, provided that the reporting obligation after the delivery date of the Bonds may
be at reasonable periodic intervals or other upon request of the County (provided that with
respect to any maturity of the Bonds that is subject to the hold- the - offering price rule, such
reporting obligation shall only be for sale of the Bonds of that maturity that occur on or before
the fifth (5th) business day after the sale date) and (2) to comply with the hold- the - offering-
price rule, if applicable, if and for so long as directed by the winning bidder and as set forth in
the related pricing wires;
(B) to promptly notify the winning bidder of any sales of the Bonds that, to its
knowledge, are made to a purchaser who is a related party to an underwriter participating in
the initial sale of the Bonds to the public (each such term being used as defined below); and

(C) to acknowledge that, unless otherwise advised by the underwriter, dealer or bro-
ker- dealer, the winning bidder shall assume that each order submitted by the underwriter,
dealer or broker - dealer is a sale to the public; and
(ii) any agreement among underwriters or selling group agreement relating to the initial sale
of the Bonds to the public, together with the related pricing wires, contains or will contain language
obligating each underwriter or dealer that is a party to a third -party distribution agreement to be
employed in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds to the public to require each broker - dealer
that is a party to such third -party distribution agreement to (A) report the prices at which it sells to
the public the unsold Bonds of each maturity allocated to it, whether or not the delivery date of the
Bonds has occurred, until it is notified by the winning bidder that either the 10% test has been satisfied
as to the Bonds of that maturity, provided that the reporting obligation after the delivery date of the
Bonds may be at reasonable periodic intervals or other upon request of the County (provided that with

Copies of the Preliminary Official Statement and this Notice relating to the Bonds may be
obtained from the Commission, 3200 Atlantic Avenue, Longleaf Building, Raleigh, North Carolina

of Rule 15c2 -12 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Rule ") except for the omission of
certain pricing and other information allowed to be omitted by such Rule to be made available to the
successful bidder by the Commission in a Final Official Statement.
By the submission of a bid for the Bonds, the successful bidder contracts for the receipt of up to
one hundred (100) copies of the Final Official Statement which will be delivered by the Commission to
the successful bidder by January 31, 2020. In order to complete the Final Official Statement, the
successful bidder must furnish on behalf of the underwriters of the Bonds the following information to

turity). The successful bidder must provide the initial public offering prices, as the County
will not include in the Official Statement an "NRO" ( "not reoffered") designation to any ma-
turity of the bonds.

pressed in dollars).
c. The identity of the underwriters if the successful bidder is a part of a group or syndicate.
d. Any other material information necessary for the Final Official Statement but not known to

Concurrently with the delivery of the Bonds, the County will deliver to the purchaser of the Bonds
a certificate stating that the Preliminary Official Statement did not, as of its date, and the Final Offi-
cial Statement does not, as of the date of delivery of the Bonds, contain an untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein,
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, provided such certifi-
cate shall not include consideration of information supplied by, or which should have been supplied
by, the successful bidder for the Bonds for inclusion in the Final Official Statement. Further, the
County Attorney will certify that there is no litigation pending or, to his knowledge, threatened against
the County which would materially adversely affect the County's ability to meet its financial obliga-
tions.
In addition, concurrently with the delivery of the Bonds the Secretary of the Commission will
deliver to the purchaser of the Bonds a certificate stating that nothing has come to his attention which
would lead him to believe that the Preliminary Official Statement, as of its date and as of the date of

INTRODUCTION
This Official Statement, including the cover page and the appendices, is intended to furnish
information in connection with the public invitation for bids for the purchase of $3,700,000* General
Obligation School Bonds, Series 2020 (the "Bonds "), of the County of New Hanover, North Carolina
(the "County").
The information furnished herein includes a brief description of the County and its economic
condition, government, debt management, tax structure, financial operations, budget, pension plans
and contingent liabilities. The County has assisted the Local Government Commission of North
Carolina (the "Commission ") in gathering and assembling the information contained herein.
This Official Statement does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy
any securities other than the Bonds offered hereby, nor shall there be any offer or solicitation of such
offer or sale of the Bonds in any jurisdiction in which it is unlawful for any person to make such offer,
solicitation or sale. Neither the delivery of this Official Statement nor the sale of any of the Bonds
implies that the information herein is correct as of any date subsequent to the date hereof. The
information contained herein is subject to change after the date of this Official Statement, and this
Official Statement speaks only as of its date.
This Official Statement is deemed to be a final official statement with respect to the Bonds
within the meaning of Rule 15c2 -12 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Rule "), except when it is in preliminary form,
for the omission of certain pricing and other information to be made available by the successful bidder
or bidders for the bonds by the Commission. In accordance with the requirements of the Rule, the
County has agreed in a resolution adopted by the Board of Commissioners of the County to certain
continuing disclosure obligations. See the caption "CONTINUING DISCLOSURE" herein.
THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION OF NORTH CAROLINA
The Commission, a division of the Department of State Treasurer, State of North Carolina (the
"State "), is a State agency that supervises the issuance of the bonded indebtedness of all units of local
government and assists these units in the area of fiscal management. Appendix A to this Official
Statement contains additional information concerning the Commission and its functions.
THE BONDS
Description
The Bonds will be dated the date of their delivery and will bear interest from that date.
Interest on the Bonds will be payable on each February 1 and August 1, commencing August 1, 2020.
Subject to the redemption provisions set forth herein, the Bonds will mature on the dates and in the
amounts set forth on the inside cover page of this Official Statement.
*Preliminary; subject to change.
Board of Commissioners - December 16, 2019
ITEM: 12- 3 - 5
The Bonds will be issuable as fully registered bonds in a book -entry system maintained by The
Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ( "DTC "). DTC will act as securities depository for
the Bonds. 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. See Appendix F hereto for a
description of the book -entry system and DTC.
Redemption Provisions
The Bonds maturing on or before February 1, 2030 will not be subject to redemption prior to
their maturities. The Bonds maturing on or after February 1, 2031 will be subject to redemption prior
to their maturities at the option of the County, from any money that may be made available for such
purpose, either in whole or in part on any date on or after February 1, 2030 at a redemption price of
the principal amount of Bonds to be so redeemed, plus interest accrued to the redemption date.
If less than all of the Bonds of any one maturity shall be called for redemption, the particular
Bonds or portions of Bonds of such maturity to be redeemed shall be selected in such manner as the
County may determine; provided, however, that the portion of any Bond to be redeemed shall be in the
principal amount of $5,000 or some multiple thereof 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 $5,000. So long as a book -entry system with DTC is used for
determining beneficial ownership of Bonds, if less than all of the Bonds within a maturity are to be
redeemed, DTC and its participants shall determine which of the Bonds within a maturity are to be
redeemed.
Notice of redemption shall be given by certified or registered mail to DTC or its nominee as
the registered owner of the Bonds. Such notice shall be mailed not more than 60 days nor less than 30
days prior to the date fixed for redemption, but any failure or defect in respect of such mailing will not
affect the validity of the redemption. If DTC, or its nominee, is not the registered owner of the Bonds,
the County will give notice of redemption to the then - registered owners of the Bonds or portions thereof
to be redeemed at the last address shown on the registration books kept by the County. The County
will also mail or transmit by facsimile or in electronic format a copy of the notice of redemption within
the time set forth above (1) to the Local Government Commission of North Carolina (the "Local
Government Commission ") and (2) to the Municipal Rulemaking Securities Board (the "MSRB ")
through the Electronic Municipal Market Access ( "EMMA ") system.
If at the time of mailing of the notice of redemption there is not on deposit money sufficient to
redeem the Bonds called for redemption, such notice may state that it is conditional on the deposit of
money for the redemption on the date of redemption as set forth in the notice. Any notice, once given,
may be withdrawn by notice delivered in the same manner as the notice of redemption was given.
Authorizations and Purposes
The Bonds are being issued pursuant to The Local Government Finance Act and a bond order
adopted by the Board of Commissioners of the County on August 11, 2014, which Bonds were approved
by voters at a referendum held on November 4, 2014; and a bond resolution adopted by the Board of
Commissioners of the County on December 16, 2019. The Bonds are being issued to provide funds,
together with other available funds, for construction of and improvements to school facilities in the
County.

The County is a unit of state government and therefore is not subject to the involuntary
procedures of Title 11 of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code "). Pursuant to Chapter 9 of
the Bankruptcy Code, a local governmental unit that satisfies the requirements of section 109(c) of the
Bankruptcy Code may seek voluntary protection from its creditors for purposes of adjusting its debts.
However, under North Carolina law, a local governmental unit such as the County may not file for
bankruptcy protection without the consent of the Commission. While the Bonds are outstanding, the
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and applicable North Carolina law may be amended, supplemented
or repealed; therefore, it is not possible to predict whether and under what conditions the County may
be authorized to become a debtor in a bankruptcy case and how any such bankruptcy case might affect
purchasers of the Bonds in the future.
If the County were to initiate bankruptcy proceedings under Chapter 9 with the consent of the
Commission, the bankruptcy proceedings could have material and adverse effects on holders of the
Bonds, including (a) the application of the automatic stay provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, which,
until relief is granted, would prevent collection of payments from the County or the commencement of
any judicial or other action for the purpose of recovering or collecting a claim against the County; (b)
the incurrence of additional debt, including the claims of those supplying goods and services to the
County after the initiation of bankruptcy proceedings and the expenses of administering the
bankruptcy case, which may have a priority of payment superior to that of the purchasers of the Bonds;
and (c) the possibility of the adoption of a plan for the adjustment of the County's debt without the
consent of all of the purchasers of the Bonds, which plan may restructure, delay, compromise or reduce
the amount of the claim of the purchasers of the Bonds if the bankruptcy court finds that such a plan
is fair and equitable. The effect of the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code on the rights and remedies
of the purchasers of the Bonds cannot be predicted with certainty and may be affected significantly by
judicial interpretation, general principles of equity, and considerations of public policy.
Regardless of any specific adverse determinations in a bankruptcy case of the County, the fact
of such a bankruptcy case could have an adverse effect on the liquidity and value of the Bonds.

2018, which highlights the nation's "best and most interesting" colleges and universities. Just last
month, UNCW was rated among the Top 100 Public National Universities in the United States in U.S.
News and World Report's extensive annual rankings of universities and colleges. Considered the
highest classification, U.S. News & World Report's National University designation is for schools that
"offer a full range of undergraduate majors, plus master's and doctoral programs, and emphasize
faculty research or award professional practice doctorates."
Also located in the County, Cape Fear Community College ( "CFCC "), was founded in 1958 and
is the sixth largest school in the North Carolina Community College System. The school is a major
economic development partner in southeastern North Carolina. CFCC provides world -class training
and quality higher education to more than 23,000 students each year. CFCC has more than 60
technical degree programs in a wide range of areas which offer hand -on training.
In November 2008, voters passed a $164 million Community College Bond referendum, all of
which have been issued, to provide CFCC with funding to expand its facilities to include Union Station,
a parking deck, a Humanities and Fine Arts Building and an Advanced and Emerging Technologies
Center. Union Station, which opened in August 2013, is a 259,000 square -foot building that includes
classrooms and labs for health sciences programs, general classrooms, biology labs, student services,
admissions and a large reception hall for college and community events. The Hanover parking deck
was completed in March 2012 and added 1,186 parking spaces to the downtown parking inventory.
The Humanities and Fine Arts Building, which opened in 2015, is a state -of- the -art center for
humanities and fine arts programs, as well as serving as an additional venue for cultural events in the
County. The Center is a powerful investment in the arts for current and future students, and for the
community. Construction of the Advanced and Emerging Technologies Center commenced in August
2015 and was opened in June 2017. It is comprised of three buildings: a 74,000 square -foot technology
building, a 30,000 square -foot space for the college's diesel and heavy equipment program, and 23,000
square feet for a brand new veterinary tech program, only the fifth such program in the State. In
addition to bond proceeds from the $164 million referendum, the County has made the following capital
contributions to CFCC: $10,862,177 in fiscal year 2018 and $- 10,852,593 in fiscal year 2019, with
$11,027,248 budgeted in fiscal year 2020.
Healthcare and Medical Facilities. New Hanover Regional Medical Center is a nonprofit
corporation and a County -owned hospital that operates a network of hospital and health care related
facilities and services, located in the City (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Health Care
System'). The Health Care System, includes a tertiary referral health care center with 694 beds (the
`Main Campus'), and the NHRMC Orthopedic Hospital with 75 licensed beds. The Health Care
System is owned by the County and serves as the primary hospital for a three - county area, as well as
a tertiary hospital for a seven - county area. The Health Care System provides an emergency
department with 24 -hour service, a 60 -bed rehabilitation hospital and a 62 -bed psychiatric hospital.
The Health Care System has responsibility for emergency medical services in the County, including
Air Ambulatory Service. Carolina Healthcare Associates, Inc. (doing business as NHRMC Physicians
Group), incorporated in 1997 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, is governed by New Hanover
Regional Medical Center. Carolina Healthcare Associates provides an integrated primary and
specialty care physician practice network to New Hanover Regional Medical Center in the form of
physician and nurse practitioner services in hospital -based clinics and independent offices throughout
the New Hanover Regional Medical Center service area. The Board of Commissioners of the County
provides oversight, among other things, for the Health Care System by appointing members to the
New Hanover County Regional Medical Center's Board of Trustees.
In the late 1990's, Lower Cape Fear Hospice became an affiliated organization of New Hanover
Regional Medical Center, but is not considered a part of the Health Care System. During fiscal year
1999, Pender Memorial Hospital, Inc. became an affiliated organization of New Hanover Regional
Medical Center through a 20 -year operating agreement. A two -year extension to the operating

agreement was signed in 2019. Pender Memorial provides inpatient, outpatient, and emergency care
services to the residents of Pender County and vicinity.
During fiscal year 2008, the Health Care System completed construction on a new 194,995
square foot Women's and Children's Center and 196,804 square foot surgical pavilion. In 2011, the
Health Care System completed a major facility improvement and expansion at its Main Campus,
which included renovations to the patient tower. This capital improvement project resulted in the
renovation of approximately 289,320 square feet of space. In 2015, the Health Care System opened a
30,000 square foot, stand -alone emergency department in the northern part of the County. In 2017, it
completed a construction project to double its emergency department patient care areas at the Main
Campus from 54 to 108 treatment areas. Also, in 2017, it started the construction of a 134,000 square
foot Orthopedic and Spine Hospital, which should be complete by the summer of 2020. In 2018, the
Health Care System completed construction of a 5 -level parking deck with 720 parking spaces and a
skybridge over South 17th Street, and renovations to the Zimmer Cancer Center and Intensive Care
Unit. Funding for these capital improvement projects was from a combination of proceeds of tax -
exempt bonds and accumulated reserves and was approved by the North Carolina Department of
Health and Human Services under its certificate of need process.
On September 16, 2019, the Board of Commissioners of the County declared its intent to
consider, with respect to the Health Care System, the sale of or affiliation with a larger healthcare
system. To assist in the evaluation of whether such sale or affiliation is in the best interest of the
County, the Health Care System and the community, the Board of Commissioners of the County
issued a request for proposals to solicit from interested parties proposals for an affiliation with the
Health Care System through the purchase of facilities and assets associated with the Health Care
System. The Board of County Commissioners and the Health Care System =will review any such
proposals and consider community input at public hearings before making any decision to sell
affiliate or maintain its current corporate structure. Whatever decision is made, the County does
not expect it to materially adversely affect the financial condition of the County.
Although no assurances can be made, the County does not expect any such sale or
affiliation to materially adversely affect the financial condition of the County.

Tourism and Film Industry. Tourism is a vital part of the area's economic component in
terms of employment and revenues. Nearby beaches, the historic river front area, the USS North
Carolina Battleship Memorial and the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher, are among the
attractions for tourism business. A variety of special events held annually, such as the Azalea Festival
and Riverfest, add to the area's appeal to tourists. The New Hanover County Tourism Development
Authority ( "TDA') was established to expand the tourism industry and to maintain the health of the
local economy. Funded in large part by a room occupancy tax, the TDA serves as an umbrella
organization representing all of the services available to visitors. According to the TDA, tourism
generated revenues within the County were approximately $612 million in 2018 (the latest year for
which data is available), which represents an increase of 6% over the previous year. For 2018, the
County ranked eighth among North Carolina's 100 counties in tourism expenditures. An indicator of
the level of tourism in the County is the room occupancy tax collections. The room occupancy tax is
imposed on the rental of hotel rooms at a rate of 6 %.

The filmmaking industry has been an important economic force in the County since the
construction of production facilities in 1983 by DEG Inc. Now owned by EUE Screen Gems Studios,

the studio has nine fully equipped sound stages and one super stage. The super stage is 37,000 square
feet of open floor space with a water tank holding 450 tons of water, setting this stage apart from any
other on the East Coast. In an effort to attract the big production companies, local companies have
invested in new equipment and state -of- the -art technology. The Studio has also invested in additional
lighting and grip equipment to expand its capabilities.
The County continues to be one of the most productive and cost - effective filmmaking
destinations. Since 1983, the County has hosted more than 350 feature films, mini - series, and "movies
of the week ", as well as eight television series, along with numerous commercials and music videos.
Producers continue to utilize the available resources for filmmaking and it is expected that the studio
will remain a popular facility in the State. Film and television productions decreased in 2015, due to
reduced funding to the State's Film Grant Fund. During 2019, film and television productions will
spend approximately $150 million in the region. This will equal the spending from 2016, 2017, and
2018 combined. The State has stabilized the Film and Entertainment Grant Fund with recurring
funding in the amount of $31 million annually and removed the sunset from the program.
Shipping. The North Carolina State Port at Wilmington (the "State Port "), located on the
east bank of the Cape Fear River, is one of two deep water harbors in the State. The Port of Wilmington
is one of the few southern ports with readily available berths and storage areas for containers and
cargo. Specifically, it offers terminal facilities serving container, bulk, breakbulk, and roll -on roll -off
operations. It offers a deep 42 -foot navigational channel, nine berths with 6,768 feet of wharf frontage
and four post - Panamax container cranes. Additionally, the port offers almost one million sq. ft. of
prime covered and sprinklered storage, as well as 100+ acres of paved and 25 acres of enhanced open
storage area. Modern transit and warehouse facilities and the latest in cargo management technology
provide a broad platform for supporting international trade to the fast - growing southeast U.S. market.
Imports and exports include chemicals, metal products, general merchandise, forest products, salt,
wood pulp, wood chips, and food. All customs services, including a Classification and Value Section,
are available. Foreign Trade Zone 66, with warehouses, assembly areas and 100 acres of open storage,
is accessible by rail or truck. In addition, the 42 -foot navigational channel offers customers additional
vessel capacity. Port of Wilmington Cold Storage ( "PWCS'), is a new, 101,000 square foot refrigerated
warehouse used to maintain specific temperatures for the storage of perishable goods, such as fruits,
vegetables and proteins. The warehouse, which opened in August 2016, is located within the gates of
the State Port and is not only the first in -port cold storage facility in the State, but one of a select few
such facilities in the entire nation. PWCS is a joint venture of USA InvestCo and the NC State Ports
Authority. The total cost of the project was $17.5 million, which included pre - development,
construction and opening operating expenses. As part of its ongoing infrastructure investment plan,
North Carolina Ports has installed three new neo- Panamax ship -to -shore cranes. Between the turning
basin project, various berth improvements, the expansion of the container yard and the addition of
new cranes, North Carolina Ports has committed over $200 million into its infrastructure
improvements, which will enable shippers to gain unprecedented access to the east coast. The
terminal renovations will double the port's annual throughput capacity to 1.2 million TEU's and triple
its refrigerated container capacity to 1,000 plugs. The State Port at Wilmington is operated by the
North Carolina State Ports Authority.

operations of the County. The Board also has the authority to call bond referendums, enter into
contracts and establish new programs.
The Board appoints several officials to help carry out its responsibilities, including a County
Manager, a County Attorney who serves as legal advisor to the Board and a Clerk to the Board who is
responsible for keeping official Board records and preparing the official minutes of all Board meetings.
The County Manager is the chief administrative officer of the County. The major duties of the
County Manager include supervising and coordinating the activities of the County departments,
executing all orders and policies set forth by the Board, attending all Board meetings, making
recommendations on appropriate matters of business, recommending an annual budget, advising the
Board of the financial condition of the County, representing the County in business with other agencies

Education. The New Hanover County School System (the "School System ") with jurisdiction
throughout the County is governed by a seven - member Board of Education (the "Board of Education ").
The Board of Education is elected for four -year staggered terms. The State provides funds for a basic
education program for each school system in the State. Funds are also provided by the State for capital
construction through the Public Schools Building Capital Fund. In addition to the State funds, the
County contributes funds to the School System out of the General Fund. Designated portions of two
local option one -half cent sales taxes must be used for school capital outlay expenditures or the
retirement of bonded indebtedness incurred for these purposes. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019,
the State provided the school system with approximately 61% of its operating budget and the federal
government provided approximately 7 %. The balance of 32% was provided by the County and other
local sources.

Transportation
The Road System. The maintenance, expansion, and improvement of primary and secondary
highways within the County are the responsibility of the State. Each municipality within the County
bears responsibility for its local street system. The County has no financial obligations with respect to
construction and maintenance of the road system.
The County is served by Interstate Highways 40 and 140, U.S. Highways, 17, 117, 74, 76 and
421, and by North Carolina Highways 132 and 133. Interstate 95 intersects with Interstate 40
northwest of the County, connecting north -south and east -west traffic. Interstate Highway 140
extends from I -40 to US 17 to the south of the County in neighboring Brunswick County. A new section
from U.S. 421 north of the City connecting with US 74 -76 and US 17 near Leland, in neighboring
Brunswick County, was opened to traffic in November 2017, which improved traffic from the City's
downtown area into Brunswick County.
Wilmington International Airport. The Wilmington International Airport (the `Airport')
is a County -owned facility operated by the New Hanover County Airport Authority (the "Airport
Authority "). The Airport is the fifth largest in the State and served a record 934,058 passengers during
calendar year 2018 with 64,765 total aircraft operations. Three commercial airlines, American
Airlines, United Airlines and Delta Air Lines, provide regular jet and commuter service with 24 daily
flights, offering direct (non -stop) service to Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia,
Dallas -Fort Worth and Washington, D.C. and one -stop connections to 310 domestic and international
destinations.
Within the last fifteen years, the Airport has undergone approximately $135 million in capital
improvements, which include a 13,500 square -foot International Terminal Building that provides
customs services, and a $6.5 million state -of- the -art rental car service complex. In 2016, Air
Wilmington completed construction on a 21,000 square foot hangar. The Airport Authority
redeveloped the former car rental service centers for conversion to airside facilities for corporate and
general aviation hangars and service providers. The Airport installed an $800,000 hangar taxilane
and Live Oak Bank completed construction of a 23,000 square foot corporate hangar facility in this
area. The entire north ramp rehabilitation project was completed at an estimated cost of $14 million.
The Airport is currently in the middle of a $60 million expansion project, a portion of which will be
14
Board of Commissioners - December 16, 2019
ITEM: 12- 3 - 18
financed with proceeds from a limited obligation bond expected to be issued in February 2020, that
will add approximately 75,000 square feet of new space to the terminal and increase the capacity of
the airport.
On the landside of the Airport, the Airport Authority continues to focus on non - aeronautical
revenue in order to reduce the dependency on airline rates and charges. The Airport's Business Park
consists of land and buildings for lease to non - aeronautical companies. Currently, 1.4 million square
feet of land and 39,000 square feet of building space is leased, which includes land leased for the
Veterans Affairs Outpatient Clinic. A 10,000 square foot building completed in 2016, is currently fully
leased.
The State Port. The State Port, one of four State ports, is located on the east bank of the
Cape Fear River and is one of two deep water harbors in the State. For more information about the
State Port see "Business and Economic Profile — Shipping" herein.
Ground Based Freight and Mass Transit. Other transportation resources in the County
include the CSX Rail Transport Group, which provides rail freight service in the area with one
scheduled train daily. Local bus service is provided by the Cape Fear Public Transportation Authority.
A private management firm operates a system of ten routes, UNCW Shuttle service and a historic
downtown trolley. There are also approximately 55 trucking companies serving the area.
Human Services
Human services programs in the State are financed by a combination of federal, State and
local funds. On the County level, these services are classified as public assistance, public health, senior
resource services, veterans' services and mental health. The County had actual expenditures from the
combined sources of $50,947,296 in fiscal year 2018. For fiscal year 2019 the County appropriated
$60,847,780, for human services.
Public Service Enterprises
In May 2007, the City Council of Wilmington and the County Board of Commissioners each
adopted resolutions creating a water and sewer authority to consolidate the City's, the New Hanover
County Water and Sewer District's (the `District') and the County's water and sewer systems. The
articles of incorporation for the Cape Fear Public Utility Authority (the `Authority') were approved by
the State of North Carolina on July 2, 2007. Transfer of water and sewer assets and liabilities of the
City, the County and District to the Authority was completed on July 1, 2008.
In addition, all City and County water and sewer system employees were transferred to the
Authority on July 1, 2008. The water and sewer system assets and liabilities of the City, the County
and the District were leased, transferred or assigned to the Authority, to the extent permitted under
existing financing documentation and law. While the City, the County and the District remain as
ultimate obligors on some of their existing bond or installment financings, the Authority reimburses
each of the City, the County and the District for debt service payments made pursuant to an interlocal
arrangement approved by the City, the County and the District. The Authority's mission is to provide
water and sewer service to the County's existing 36,000 customers as well as City residents.
Solid Waste
Solid Waste Collection. In the unincorporated areas of the County, municipal solid waste
(MSW) is collected by private haulers on a subscription basis. Each hauler conducting business in the
County is required to obtain a franchise license from the County.
15
Board of Commissioners - December 16, 2019
ITEM: 12- 3 - 19
In the incorporated areas of the County, MSW and recyclable material collection as discussed
below, is either provided by the municipality or is contracted to private waste haulers.
Solid Waste Disposal. The County currently owns and operates a lined landfill that meets
or exceeds federal and state requirements. The facility only accepts waste generated within the
County and is open six days a week. All wastewater ( "leachate ") that is generated from the landfill is
treated onsite. The leachate is treated through its reverse osmosis wastewater treatment plant. Total
treatment capacity is in excess of 100,000 gallons per day.
County staff utilizes several waste diversion techniques to minimize waste disposal. Several
thousand tons of waste per year are diverted from the waste stream and processed for beneficial reuse.
Examples include wood waste, sheetrock, scrap metal, asphalt shingles, yard waste and appliances.
The landfill facility completed the permitting process for a major expansion on land the County
already owns, which added an additional 90 acres of disposal capacity. This additional capacity is
estimated to extend the life of the landfill an additional 60 years at current disposal rates.
Construction of the first two cells are complete and two additional cells are included in the County's
five -year Capital Improvement Plan...
Recycling Operations. The County operates and maintains eight recycling drop -off sites for
County residents. Six of these sites are available to residents 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. County
staff operates a small fleet of roll off trucks to collect the material from the drop -off sites and deliver
them to the County's sorting and baling facility. At this facility, operated by Sonoco Recycling LLC,
contaminants are removed from the materials, after which they are further sorted and baled. Baled
materials are then marketed to mills or brokers, which generate revenues to help offset the cost of
collection. The County has partnered with a third party to expand recycling processing.
The County also provides residents free disposal of used tires, electronics, and household
hazardous waste (HHW). Each of these waste streams is further managed through contracted
businesses that recycle the materials or convert them for beneficial reuse.

Budget Outlook for 2019 -20
General Fund & Debt Service Fund. On June 17, 2019, the Board of Commissioners adopted
a budget ordinance of $301,064,531 for the General Fund for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020,
which included an appropriation of $2,237,481 General Fund balance to balance the budget. The
adopted budget ordinance for the Debt Service Fund for fiscal year ending June 30, 2020 was
$60,306,076. The tax base for the 2019 -20 budget was $34.845 billion, which is an annual growth rate
of 1.6 %. The tax rate per $100 of valuation was approved at $.5550, which included $.4903 for the
General Fund and $.0647 for the Debt Service Fund. The 2019 -20 budget maintains existing levels of
service, provides long term funding for voter - approved debt and continues to focus on the County's
strategic plan with continued investments in superior public education and workforce, superior public
health and safety, and intelligent growth and economic development.
Enterprise Fund. The Board of Commissioners adopted a 2019 -20 budget of $26,764,645 for
the Environmental Management Fund. The tipping fee remained at $48 per ton, while still addressing
current and long term obligations of the fund, including a post - closure reserve and a capital reserve.
The budget used $2,341,460 of appropriated fund balance and $2,260,000 of capital and closure reserve
funds, that will be used to fund capital projects, including the closure of used cells and the construction
of new cells.
Pension Plans
The County participates in the North Carolina Local Governmental Employees Retirement
System and the Supplemental Retirement Income Plan of North Carolina.
North Carolina Local Governmental Employees' Retirement System. The North Carolina Local
Governmental Employees' Retirement System (the "System ") is a service agency administered through
a board of trustees by the State for public employees of counties, cities, boards, commissions and other
similar governmental entities. While the State Treasurer is the custodian of System funds,
administrative costs are borne by the participating employer governmental entities. The State makes
no contribution to the System.
The System provides, on a uniform System -wide basis, retirement and, at each employer's
option, death benefits from contributions made by employers and employees. Employee members
contribute 6% of their individual compensation. Each new employer makes a normal contribution plus,
where applicable, a contribution to fund any accrued liability over a 24 -year period. The normal
contribution rate for the year ended June 30, 2018, uniform for all employers, was 7.50% of eligible
payroll for general employees and 8.25% of eligible payroll for law enforcement officers. The normal
contribution rate for the year ending June 30, 2019, uniform for all employers, was 7.75% of eligible
payroll for general employees and 8.50% of eligible payroll for law enforcement officers. The
contribution rates for fiscal year 2019 -20 have been set at 8.95% for general employees and at 9.70%
for law enforcement officers. The accrued liability contribution rate is determined separately for each
employer and covers the liability of the employer for benefits based on employees' service rendered
prior to the date the employer joins the system.
Members qualify for a vested deferred benefit at age 60 after at least five years of creditable
service to the unit of local government. Unreduced benefits for general employees are available: at
age 65, with at least five years of creditable service; at age 60, with at least 25 years of creditable
service; or after 30 years of creditable service, regardless of age. Benefit payments are computed by
taking an average of the annual compensation for the four consecutive years of membership service
yielding the highest average. This average is then adjusted by a percentage formula, by a total years
of service factor, and by an age service factor if the individual is not eligible for unreduced benefits.
21
Board of Commissioners - December 16, 2019
ITEM: 12- 3 - 25
Contributions to the System are determined on an actuarial basis.
For information concerning the County's participation in the System and the Supplemental
Retirement Income Plan of North Carolina see the Notes to the County's Audited Financial Statements
in Appendix D.
Financial statements and required supplementary information for the 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 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 total compensation
package offered to attract and retain qualified employees. Employees who retire on or after August 1,
2003 may qualify for continued coverage under the County's group health insurance program. A
regular 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 D.
GASB Statement No. 75 was issued in June 2015 and became effective for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2017. GASB 75 replaces GASB Statement No. 45 and established new
standards for recognizing and measuring liabilities, expense /expenditures, deferred outflows of
resources, and deferred inflows of resources regarding OPEB. The new GASB statement requires the
presentation of liability for OPEB obligations in the employer's financial statements. The County
implemented GASB 75 in fiscal year 2017 -18.

Board of Commissioners - December 16, 2019
ITEM: 12- 3 - 26
The County's total OPEB liability as of June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2019 was $321,435,633
and $348,000,326, respectively and the liability was determined by actuarial valuations as of June 30,
2016 and June 30, 2018, respectively. The contributions for the OPEB liability by the County during
fiscal year June 30, 2018 were $3,887,607 and for June 30, 2019 the contributions were $3,117,721.
Litigation
No litigation is now pending or, to the best of the County's knowledge, threatened, against or
affecting the County which seeks to restrain or enjoin the authorization, on issuance of the Bonds or
which contests the County's creation, organization or corporate existence, or the title of any of the
present officers thereof to their respective offices or the authority or proceedings for the County's
authorization of the Bonds, or the County's authority to carry out its obligations thereunder or which
would have a material adverse impact on the County's condition, financial or otherwise.
The County is not aware of any contingent liabilities which, in the opinion of the County
Attorney, would materially adversely affect the County's ability to meet its financial obligations.

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

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 must 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. The County's Rule 15c2 -12 undertakings will terminate on

in full of the principal of and interest on the Bonds.
All documents provided to the MSRB as described above will be provided in an electronic
format as prescribed by the MSRB and accompanied by identifying information as prescribed by the
MSRB. The County may discharge its undertaking described above by transmitting those documents
or notices in a manner subsequently required by the SEC in lieu of the manner described above.

respects with its continuing disclosure obligations pursuant to Rule 15c2 -12.
Opinions of Counsel

approval of Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein LLP, Bond Counsel. The opinion of Parker Poe Adams &
Bernstein LLP, as Bond Counsel, substantially in the form set forth in Appendix E hereto, will be
delivered at the time of the delivery of the Bonds. Certain legal matters will be passed on for the
County by Wanda M. Copley, Esq, County Attorney.

Board of Commissioners - December 16, 2019
ITEM: 12- 3 - 29
TAX TREATMENT
GENERAL
On the date of issuance of the Bonds, Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein LLP ( "Bond Counser'),
will render an opinion that, under existing law (1) assuming compliance by the County with certain
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code "), (a) interest on the Bonds is
excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes, and (b) is not an item of tax preference
for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax, and (2) interest on the Bonds is exempt from
State of North Carolina income taxation.
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 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 subsequently becomes included in gross income for federal income
tax purposes due to a failure by the County to comply with any requirements described above, the
County is not required to redeem the Bonds or to pay any additional interest or penalty.
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 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.
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'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, 20_ (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 an 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. However, it should be noted
that the original issue discount that accrues to an owner of an OID Bond may result in other collateral
federal income tax consequences for certain taxpayers in the year of accrual.
Original issue discount is treated as compounding semiannually 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
27
Board of Commissioners - December 16, 2019
ITEM: 12- 3 - 31
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 appointed in equal amounts
among the days in such compounding period.
The Code contains additional provisions relating to the accrual of original issue discount in the
case of owners of the OID Bonds who subsequently purchase any OID Bonds after the initial offering
or at a price different from the initial offering price during the initial offering of the Bonds. Owners
of OID Bonds should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the precise determination for
federal and state income tax purposes of the amount of original issue discount accrued upon the sale,
redemption or other disposition of an OID Bond as of any date and with respect to other federal, state
and local tax consequences of owning and disposing of an OID Bond. It is possible that under the
applicable provisions governing the determination of state or local taxes, accrued original issue
discount on an OID Bond may be deemed to be received in the year of accrual even though there will
not be a corresponding cash payment attributable to such original issue discount until a later year.
ORIGINAL ISSUE PREMIUM
As indicated on the inside cover page, the Bonds maturing on February 1, 20_ (the "Premium
Bonds "), are being sold at initial offering prices which are in excess of the principal amount payable at
maturity. The difference between (a) the initial offering prices to the public (excluding bond houses
and brokers) at which a substantial amount of the Premium Bonds is sold and (b) the principal amount
payable at maturity of such Premium Bonds constitutes original issue premium, which original issue
premium is not deductible for federal income tax purposes. In the case of an owner of a Premium
Bond, however, the amount of the original issue premium which is treated as having accrued over the
term of such Premium Bond is reduced from the owner's cost basis of such Premium Bond in
determining, for federal income tax purposes, the taxable gain or loss upon the sale, redemption or
other disposition of such Premium Bond (whether upon its sale, redemption or payment at maturity).
Owners of Premium Bonds should consult their tax advisors with respect to the determination, for
federal income tax purposes, of the "adjusted basis" of such Premium Bonds upon any sale or
disposition and with respect to any state or local tax consequences of owning a Premium Bond.
FINANCIAL ADVISOR
First Tryon Advisors has served as financial advisor (the "Financial Advisor') to the County
with respect to the sale of the Bonds. The Financial Advisor's fee for services rendered with respect
to the sale of the Bonds is contingent on the issuance and delivery of the Bonds. The Financial Advisor
is not obligated to undertake, and has not undertaken, either to make an independent verification of
or to assume responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, or fairness of the information contained in
this Official Statement and the appendixes thereto.
RATINGS
Moody's Investors Service and S &P Global Ratings have given the Bonds ratings of "_" and
respectively. Those ratings reflect only the respective views of such organizations, and an
explanation of the significance of such ratings may be obtained only from the respective organization
providing such rating. Certain information and materials not included in the Official Statement were
furnished to such organizations. There is no assurance that such ratings will remain in effect for any
given period of time or that any or all will not be revised downward or withdrawn entirely. Any
downward revision or withdrawal of a rating may have an adverse effect on the market prices of the
Bonds.

Quasi - Judicial Hearing
Special Use Permit Request (S19 -03) — Request by New Beginning Christian Church for a Special Use
Permit to Operate a Child Care Center at 3120 Alex Trask Drive, within the R -20, Residential DistrictAt
their November 7, 2019 meeting, the Planning Board recommended approval (7 -0).
BRIEF SUMMARY:
This item was initially scheduled for the Board of Commissioners' December 2, 2019 meeting, however,
due to a notification error, this item was rescheduled for the December 16, 2019 meeting.
The applicant is seeking to obtain a special use permit to operate Brighter Beginnings Early Learning
Center, a child care center, at the New Beginning Christian Church, with two components: 1) a child care
center serving children from ages 2 -12; and 2) an after school program serving elementary to middle
school -aged children. The proposed use is considered a "child care center" in the Zoning Ordinance. Child
care centers are places where there are three or more preschool -age children or nine or more school -
age children receiving child care.
According to the applicant, the Early Learning Center will serve children from ages 2 through 12, Monday
through Friday from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, to better prepare the children for school readiness. The
applicant has indicated that this program will have a maximum capacity of 52 children. In addition, the
fellowship hall will be designated for the after school program, with a maximum capacity of 50 students.
In total, the proposed facility will have a total capacity for 102 children and have 10 full -time staff
members. All of the facilities will be within the existing church building. No new buildings are proposed
with this special use permit.
Around 2:00 pm, the two Early Learning Center transportation vans will depart from the subject site to
travel to Castle Hayne Elementary, Wrightsboro Elementary, and Murrayville Elementary schools to pick
up children participating in the after school program. These vans will use the existing unimproved
roadway that connects to Blue Clay Road rather than exiting the site via Holland Drive or Old Mill Road.
All children will be picked up by their guardians between 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm. Pick up time is staggered
throughout the afternoon and early evening with the program closing at 6:00 pm.
Based upon the church's weekday schedule, there will be no overlap or conflict between the Early
Learning Center's operations and the church's. The church hosts an Adult Bible Study that meets on
Tuesdays from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm and choir practice takes place on Thursdays from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm.
All other church related operations take place on the weekends, outside of the proposed hours of
Board of Commissioners - December 16, 2019
ITEM: 13
operation for the Early Learning Center.
In addition, Gospel Fellowship Holiness is directly across from New Beginning on Alex Trask Drive. The
two churches have peak traffic on weekends, helping reduce traffic on weekdays.
New Beginning initially obtainedsite plan approval in 2010 to operate as a church, a permitted use by-
right in the R -20 district. The church subsequently modified the site plan, and obtained approval in 2013
to construct additional grass /gravel parking spaces and a stormwater facility. The existing parking facility
is sufficient to serve both the church and the child care operation, as the Early Learning Center will
operate when normal church services are not conducted.
The proposed child care center is estimated to generate about 70 trips in both the AM and PM weekday
peak hours. The center's peak times are outside of the normal peak hours forchurch activities. Because
the proposed child care center does not meet the threshold to require a Traffic Impact Analysis to
analyze the traffic impacts, staff has provided the volume to capacity ratio for Blue Clay Road near the
subject site. While volume to capacity ratio, based on average daily trips, can provide a general idea of
the function of adjacent roadways, the delay vehicles take in seconds to pass through intersections is
generally considered a more effective measure when determining the Level of Service of a roadway.
However, the available volume to capacity data indicates capacity currently exists in this area to support
the expected additional traffic.
The proposed child care center use is generally CONSISTENT with the 2016 Comprehensive Plan because
it provides child care services that can support nearby residential neighborhoods, in line with the
recommended mix of uses for both Community Mixed Use and General Residential place types.
The Planning Board considered this application at their November 7, 2019 meeting. No members of the
public spoke in favor or in opposition of the proposed Special Use Permit. The Planning Board
recommended approval of the application (7 -0) and did not place any conditions on the proposal.

are not conducted.
TRANSPORTATION
The subject site is currently accessed by two existing driveways located along the eastern
side of Alex Trask Drive. According to the applicant, staff will transport students from the
surrounding schools to their after school program, and will utilize an unimproved roadway
off of Blue Clay Road to drop the children off at the Early Learning Center.

The proposed child care center is estimated to generate about 70 trips in both the AM

Because the proposed child care center does not meet the threshold to require a TIA to
analyze the traffic impacts, staff has provided the volume to capacity ratio for Blue Clay

STAFF PRELIMINARY CONCLUSIONS AND FINDINGS OF FACT:
Staff has conducted an analysis of the proposed use and the information provided as part of the
application package and has created preliminary findings of fact for each of the conclusions
required to be reached to approve the special use permit request. These preliminary findings of
fact and conclusions are based solely on the information provided to date, prior to any information
or testimony in support or opposition to the request that may be presented at the upcoming public
hearing at the Board meeting.
Conclusion 1: The Board must find that the use will not materially endanger the public health
or safety where proposed and developed according to the plan as submitted and approved.
A. Water and sewer services will be provided by CFPUA and will be provided and designed
in accordance with CFPUA's standards.
B. The subject property is located in the New Hanover County North Fire Service District.
C. The site is accessed from Holland Drive (SR 1358) and Old Mill Road (SR 2148), which
provide direct connections to Blue Clay Road (SR 1 31 8) and Castle Hayne Road (NC HWY
133).
D. The proposed child care center is estimated to generate about 70 trips in both the AM
and PM peak hours. The 2018 volume to capacity data, provided by the WMPO,
indicates capacity currently exists in this area to support the expected additional traffic.
E. The child care center must be licensed with the North Carolina Department of Health and
Human Services and comply with additional regulations imposed by the agency.
Conclusion 2: The Board must find that the use meets all required conditions and specifications
of the Zoning Ordinance.
A. The site is zoned R -20, Residential District.
B. Child care centers are allowed by Special Use Permit in the R -20 zoning district.
C. The existing site complies with all applicable technical standards of the Zoning Ordinance
including buffering and parking requirements to accommodate the proposed child care
center. No additional site improvements are required.
Conclusion 3: The Board must find that the use will not substantially injure the value of
adjoining or abutting property or that the use is a public necessity.
A. The proposed child care center use would be located in an existing religious assembly
facility adjacent to an existing church (Gospel Fellowship Holiness). The surrounding area
contains a mixture of land uses including single - family residential, multi - family residential,
and commercial land uses.
B. No new construction is proposed to accommodate the proposed child care center operation.
C. No evidence has been submitted that this project will decrease the property values of
adjacent or nearby properties.
Conclusion 4: The Board must find that the location and character of the use if developed
according to the plan as submitted and approved will be in harmony with the area in which it
is to be located and in general conformity with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan for New
Hanover County.
A. The 2016 Comprehensive Plan classifies the subject site as Community Mixed Use. This place
type's intent is to provide an orderly transition between existing single family residential

homes and the industrial park at the corner of Blue Clay Rd. and N. Kerr Ave. and other
industrial uses near the airport.
B. The proposed child care center use is generally consistent with the 2016 Comprehensive
Plan because it provides child care services that can support nearby residential
neighborhoods, in line with the recommended mix of uses for both Community Mixed Use
and General Residential place types.

Proposed Use(s) & Written Description
Please list the proposed use or uses of the subject property, and provide the purpose of the Special Use Permit
and a description of the project (please provide additional pages if needed).
We propose to open Brighter Beginnings Early Learning Center (BBELC) which will operate inside of our existing
building, New Beginning Christian Church (NBCC) facility and is in keeping with our church mission to positively
impact our community. In 2010, we designed the NBCC facility to the specifications to meet NC state regulations
for a daycare center. We will use 4 classrooms, each approximately 460 sgft., which will host a maximum of 13
students, totaling 52 children; our fellowship hall, approximately 2500 sqft., with direct access to 2 restrooms, for
an afterschool program that host a maximum of 50 students; total capacity 102 children. BBELC's mission is to
prepare children for school readiness, serving ages 2 to 12 years old, Monday through Friday, 7:00am to
6:00pm. As a 501(c)3 religious organization, we have taken the required steps to qualify as licensed childcare
facility under a Notice of Compliance (NCGS 1 10 -106). We have been inspected and approved by the Fire
Safety Inspector (6/10/2019); the Environmental Health & Sanitation Inspector (8/9/2019); and the NC
Department of Health and Human Services, a Division of Child Development and Early Education (9/26/2019).
NBCC's full -time staff have completed criminal background investigations and screened for tuberculosis as
required. For safety, precautionary measures are in place. We have installed security cameras throughout the
building including monitored and approved entry using a video doorbell.
Traffic Impact Worksheet
Please provide the estimated number of trips generated for the proposed use(s) based off the most recent version
of the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual. A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) must be
completed for all proposed developments that generate more than 100 peak hour trips, and the TIA must be
included with this application.
ITE Land Use: The approximate 6,000 square feet does not require a traffic impact study.

CRITERIA REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL OF A SPECIAL USE PERMIT
For each of the four required conclusions listed below, include or attach a statement that explains how any existing
conditions, proposed development features, or other relevant facts would allow the Board of County Commissioners
to reach the required conclusion, and attach any additional documents or materials that provide supporting factual
evidence. The considerations listed under each required conclusion are simply those suggested to help the applicant
understand what may be considered in determining whether a required conclusion can be met. You should address
any additional considerations potentially raised by the proposed use or development.
1. The use will not materially endanger the public health or safety if located where proposed and approved.
Considerations:
• Traffic conditions in the vicinity, including the effect of additional traffic on streets and street intersections,
and sight lines at street intersections with curb cuts
• Provision of services and utilities, including sewer, water, electrical, garbage collections, fire protection
• Soil erosion and sedimentation
• Protection of public, community, or private water supplies, including possible adverse effects on surface
waters or groundwater
• Anticipated air discharges, including possible adverse effects on air quality
The proposed approval of BBELC will not have any adverse impact on the surrounding community,
traffic and environment. The BBELC will be housed inside NBCC facility except when children will be
allowed to play outside in a fenced, naturally landscaped playground that allows for the natural
absorption of water. BBELC will operate 7:00am to 6:00pm, Monday through Friday, when normal
church services are not conducted. Not only does this proposal not generate enough trips for a traffic
study, but the afterschool program will use vans, and an unimproved road leading to pick up students,
reducing even further any adverse impact on traffic in this community.
2. The use meets all required conditions and specifications of the Zoning Ordinance.
This Early Learning Center is an extension of New Beginning Christian Church. The building was
designed and newly built 7 years ago to accommodate the BBELC and this design met all the New
Hanover County zoning standards. Ninety percent (90 %) of BBELC's activities will be on the inside of
NBCC facility where BBELC is housed. The current facility does not require any modifications in
sewage, water run -off, emissions, traffic, etc. to accommodate the approve of this special use permit.

ITEM: 13- 7 - 3
I CRITERIA REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL OF A SPECIAL USE PERMIT I
(continued)
The use will not substantially injure the value of adjoining or abutting property, or that the use is a public
necessity.
Considerations:
• The relationship of the proposed use and the character of development to surrounding uses and
development, including possible conflicts between them and how these conflicts will be resolved (i.e. buffers,
hours of operation, etc)
• Whether the proposed development is so necessary to the public health, safety, and general welfare of
the community or County as a whole as to justify it regardless of its impact on the value of adjoining
property
We believe that BBELC will be a welcomed addition to our fast growing community as it offers
convenient, safe services to families in this and surrounding neighborhoods. With three elementary
schools nearby, there are limited afterschool programs available. We add value to the community by
transporting students from school to our safe, structured and educationally enriching environment. Our
newly constructed state -of- the -art facility is contiguously located next to Rachel's Place, a new
subdivision of 154 custom built homes. We are opening BBELC at a very opportune time to provide
additional amenities that add to the growth of our comnunity. 90% of BBELC's activities will be on the
inside of NBCC facility where the BBELC is housed. Most of BBELC's positive contributions to the
community will be felt but not physically seen. he current facility does not require any modifications in
sewage, water run -off, emissions, traffic, etc. to accommodate the approval of this special use permit.
4. The location and character of the use if developed according to the plan as submitted and approved will
be in harmony with the area in which it is to be located and in general conformity with the New Hanover
County Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
Considerations:
• The relationship of the proposed use and the character of development to surrounding uses and
development, including possible conflicts between them and how these conflicts will be resolved (i.e. buffers,
hours of operation, etc)
• Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan's goals, objectives for the various planning areas, its definitions
of the various land use classifications and activity centers, and its locational standards
BBELC is 100% in sink with the New Hanover County's Comprehensive Land Use Plan! NBCC's state -of-
the art facility and BBELC's focus on providing a 5 -Star early learning culture for children and families
looks more like the future being built adjacent to us in the custom build homes of Rachel's Place and the
new subdivisions of Blue Clay Road and Castle Hayne Road that is within one mile of our location.
BBELC and NBCC adds to the growth character of this community. BBELC an excellent facility, at the
,right time, offering teh right services to help provide another beneficial component to the community
and no addition construction, zoning or traffic patterns are necessary for this endeavor.

The purpose of today's visit was to monitor compliance for applicable requirements
for a potential new Religious sponsored facility. The facility is owned, and will be operated by New Beginning Christian Church,
Inc. An initial walk through of the facility was completed June 25,Z018. During the June 23,2O18 all spaces were measured.
An Assistant Pastor completed the two-day pre- !icensingvvorkshop in January 2Ol8. An approved fire Inspection was
completed June 1O,J0l9; the facility was approved for day time care only. An approved Sanitation Inspection was completed
August 8, 2019; the facility received a Superior rating with 6 demerits. Environmental Health approved the facility for a
capacity of1UZchildren. 4n approved building inspection has not yet been completed. A Building Inspection form was
printed and provided for you during today's visit.
You are resubmitting your Letter of Intent to Raleigh this week and are ready to open.
The facility is planning to use four classroom spaces and the fellowship hall. At this time the facility is planning to provide care
for children ages 30 months and older. You have fenced your outdoor area since my last visit. Today we measured your
outdoor space. The fenced in outdoor space has a capacity of 34 children at 100 square feet per child.
All spaces have direct exits to the outside. Each space has direct access to a bathroom. Based on 30 square feet per child, the
facility may have a total capacity oflZ1. The final capacity will be determined once all approved inspections have been
received. As Environmental Health has limited you to a capacity of 102 children, your capacity may not exceed 102 children.
Today you were provided with appendix F. I have received your application, legal designee, appendix 1, approved fire
inspection, approved sanitation inspection, floor plan, facility personnel and operational policies, pre-service for
administrators, and qualifying criminal record letter for your board member overseeing the child care program.
If the operator fails to cerrect any documented violations within the established time period., the Division of Child Development and
Early Education may deny, suspend, terminate or revoke and permit to operate (I OA NCAC 09.2000.).

Board of Commissioners - December 16, 2019
ITEM: 14- 3 - 4
Dear New Hanover County Commissioners,
I am applying for both the New Hanover County Adult Care Home Communities and the Nursing Home
Advisory Committees. I am a Registered Nurse with 27 years of experience in varied inpatient and
community settings. Healthcare education has been a major focus in my career. I wrote a nurse aide
training program for the state of Ohio, became a state evaluator and operated my own testing site, and
continued to teach for career and technical programs as well as adult education. I have a deep
understanding of the training and competency needed to deliver safe and appropriate care. I also have
first -hand experience with the obstacles to delivering quality care and can be supportive to staff and
administration as they work toward positive changes.
My passion is advocating for resident's rights and improving the quality of life for our seniors. I earned
my national board certification in patient advocacy this spring. I have decided my next career step is to
work with patients and families as they navigate the complexities of healthcare and the challenges of
aging. I have the depth and breadth in the healthcare landscape to provide the individualized and
focused care that many elders are needing.
I see value in serving on the advisory committees to better understand our community and elevate the
standard of care for our seniors. I believe that I bring many strengths to the committees and I am ready
to make a personal investment to better our county.
Thank you for your consideration,
Marla Barthen, RN, BCPA
