Members present were: Commissioners Jonathan Barfield, Sr.; Fred Retchin; William H. Sutton; Vice-Chairman Robert G. Greer; Chairman E. L. Mathews, Sr.; County Manager, Allen O'Neal; County Attorney, Wanda M. Copley; and Clerk to the Board, Lucie F. Harrell. Chairman Mathews called the meeting to order and welcomed all persons present. INVOCATION AND PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Reverend Wayne Barkley, Pastor of New Life Church, gave the invocation. commissioner Retchin led the audience in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. NON-AGENDA ITEMS Chairman Mathews asked if anyone from the general public would like to present an item not listed on the Regular Agenda or comment on an item listed on the Consent Agenda. The following item was presented. Approval of Funding Request to Establish a Tri-county Substance Abuse Service Delivery System Director of the Southeastern Center, Doug Sudduth, stated in January a joint initiative began between the Southeastern Center, Substance Abuse Services, and New Hanover Regional Medical Center to seriously pursue solutions to needs and issues in serving substance abusers and persons affected by substance abuse. This effort led to the limited employment of James Emmert, an experienced, well-known substance abuse professional, to assess the situation and propose appropriate action. Between April and June, Mr. Emmert met individually and collectively with a wide range of public and private service providers, related agencies, and community advocates to identify possible problems and discuss possible solutions. The conclusion drawn from these meetings was to establish a Tri-County Substance Abuse Service Delivery System based upon the following information: -At the present time, the existing resources in the three counties, New Hanover, Brunswick and Pender, are fragmented and lack coordination in the delivery of care to substance abusers. -Many of these resources are underfunded and lack a strong cohesi ve direction. This has a negative impact on the communities served by these entities. Due to the lack of a collective system, there is a negative impact upon the mental health system, local hospitals, social service agencies, and law enforcement agencies. -A coordinated tri-county system is needed to provide these services in a timely and cost-effective manner. -The entities that would be impacted by this type of system are as follows: -The Area Mental Health Center which has a statutory responsibility for the planning, development and provision of substance abuse services in the tri-county area. j (~ ! I i f \ I I I l MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING & WORK SESSION, JULY 20, 1992 PAGE' 78 -The hospital that currently provides emergency services where many substance abusers travel as a first-line of service. -The various substance abuse service agencies in all three counties, both public and private. -The County Sheriff's Department from each county who picks up and transports substance abusers. n \.-/ -citizens from the three counties should be represented through their County Commissioners or a commissioner appointed Task Force of citizens. -Project consultant is James F. Emmert. Under the direction of project consultant, James Emmert, a Provider's Task Force would (1) formulate and articulate a clear mission statement; (2) develop a task-oriented committee structure; (3) develop a Strategic Plan for a continuum of services containing goals, specific measurable objectives, priorities, and assign responsibilities and timetable; (4) assist in identifying additional funding possibilities; (5) develop a community advocacy program; (6) monitor progress; (7) establish valuation/accountability mechanisms; and (8) assist in supporting initial implementation steps. The results of this effort would be presented to a community advisory group for input. This plan would then be recommended to the Southeastern Center Executive Advisory Group for approval and ultimately to the Southeastern Center Board for implementation. The cost for the project will not exceed $2,500 per month with a maximum expenditure of $15,000. The duration of the project would be six (6) months beginning in July, 1992. o In summary, the Commissioners were requested to approve the funding request in the amount of $5,000 for development of the Tri- County Substance Abuse Servic~ Delivery System. commissioner Barfield stated Pender County, Brunswick County, and New Hanover Regional Medical Center have already approved $3,000 funding requests. He urged to Commissioners to approve the $5,000 funding request and stated, hopefully, the City of Wilmington will become involved in this worthwhile effort. Motion: After discussion of the need to develop a system coordinating the efforts of all enti ties involved in substance abuse, Commissioner Retchin MOVED, SECONDED by Commissioner Barfield to approve funding in the amount of $5,000 from the contingency fund for development of the Tri-county Substance Abuse Service Delivery System. Upon vote, the MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION TO TRANSFER TITLE OF LUCILLE SHUFFLER BUILDING TO CROSSROADS OF NORTH CAROLINA, INC. AND OPERA HOUSE THEATER, INC. County Attorney, Wanda M. Copley, presented the options for disposal of the Lucille Shuffler Building: advertise for sealed bids; (2) sell the building through bid process; or (3) lease the building. following (1) re- the upset Commissioner Sutton recommended offering Crossroads and Opera House Theater, Inc. a lease in five-year increments for $1.00 per year in order to allow the organizations to use their funds for j (-- I l ''"-- MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING & WORK SESSION, JULY 20, 1992 PAGE 82 renovation of the facility. He stressed the importance of the services being rendered by these organizations to impoverished children and stated the dollars saved through these programs will far exceed any funds collected from the sale of the building. Discussion was held on the terms of the proposed lease. County Attorney Copley stated the maximum term of the initial lease is ten years; however; options to renew can be incorporated into the lease agreement. () Vice-Chairman Greer recommended investigating offers received from persons interested in purchasing the building. Motion: After further discussion of the benefits derived by the community from Crossroads and Opera House Theater, Commissioner Retchin MOVED, SECONDED by Commissioner Sutton to develop a lease for $1. 00 per year as follows: (1) an initial term of 10 years with automatic 5-year renewal increments as long as these organizations continue to render services for public purpose; (2) incorporation of an appropriate cancellation clause; and (3) incorporation of all necessary insurance and liability clauses. The lease is to be prepared and presented to the Board of Commissioners on August 3, 1992. The floor was opened for discussion. Ms. Sandra Barone, a candidate for County Commissioner, expressed concern for the County remaining in the real estate business and asked why the building is not being sold for $1.00 as discussed at the last meeting? commissioner Sutton stated in order to dispose of the building for $1.00, there must be a unanimous vote; therefore, since this is not possible, a lease agreement is another option for accomplishing the same purpose. () Vice-Chairman Greer stated he is opposed to giving away taxpayer's property, particularly when there are persons interested in purchasing the building; therefore, the resolution authorizing the sale of the property to Crossroads and Opera House Theater would not have received a unanimous vote. He again recommended selling the building to the highest bidder. Chairman Mathews called for a vote on the MOTION to request the County Attorney to prepare a lease agreement to be presented to the Board for final approval on August 3, 1992. Upon vote, the MOTION CARRIED~AS FOLLOWS: Voting Aye: Commissioner Barfield Commissioner Retchin commissioner Sutton Chairman Mathews voting Nay: Vice-Chairman Greer AWARD OF BID #92-0451 TO CAROLINA TELEPHONE & TELEGRAPH COMPANY (CONTRACT #92-0451) FOR PURCHASE OF TELEPHONE SYSTEM FOR THE NEW HANOVER COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT County Manager O'Neal commented on the bids received and stated after review, staff recommends award of the bid to Carolina Telephone and Telegraph Company. Emphasis was placed on the importance of acquiring the quality and type of equipment necessary to install a system that will meet the needs of the Health Department. n "'---- Chairman Mathews asked if anyone from the general public would like to comment on the proposed bid award. Mr. Jim Pridemore, President of Sound & Telephone Systems (STS), stated after a meeting with staff, it is felt by STS that the bid specifications were written so tightly that only a ROLM . . . '^'\'-" i" ~ ~ MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING & WORK SESSION, JULY 20, 1992 PAGE 83 System would fully comply to the bid specifications. As a consultant, he has written specifications for many telephone systems with these specifications written openly in order to allow anyone to submit bids for the project. It is felt that it is not in the best interest of the County to pay $30,000 for a single feature, networking between voice mail systems, which the County does not have at the present time. Also, a staff memo has been written indicating that if the County purchases the system from Carolina Telephone & Telegraph Company, the system will fully network with the other two systems at no additional cost. This is not a true statement; the County will pay $2,800 for the proposed Carolina Telephone & Telegraph Company system to network with the other systems. Many of these points have been brought to staff's attention; however, no one is listening. Chairman Mathews commented on bid specifications being written as requested by the Health Department according to their needs and stated a bidder can either comply or not comply. He inquired as to whether STS has fully complied to the bid specifications? Mr. Charles Meyers, an Attorney representing STS, stated NCGSl43-129 requires that the contract be given to the lowest responsible bidder, which in this case is Sound & Telephone Systems, at $30,000 less. County staff has informed STS that bid specifications have not been met. He stated the bid specifications read as follows: "networking capability with the Department of Social Services and the Administration Voice Mail Systems". The STS bid does provide networking capability with Social Services and the Administration Voice Mail Systems. Staff implies that the firm must not only have the networking capability, but that the bid must include an upgrade of the two additional systems in order for the three systems to network with each other. This represents a figure of $88,000 with very little benefit to the County for purchasing this type of system. The County staff has written specifications that will allow only one company the ability to comply to the bid requirements, which is not in compliance with the state law. The Attorney General has stated that a County cannot write a proprietary spec for one company; therefore, from a legal standpoint, the County has not complied with bidding requirements of NCGS 143-129 and has now invented problems with the technical compliance of the bid so that Carolina Telephone & Telegraph Company is the only company that can comply to bid specifications and the ROLM System requirement. Ms. Pam Stevenson, MIS Office Systems Specialist, commented on the voice mail issue and stated this is only one of four areas of concern with the STS bid; therefore, this issue alone should not decide the bid award. Also, the County is permitted to spec a particular brand of equipment, and staff was not satisfied with the information received in the bid proposal for the following areas: (1) computer interface; (2) system traffic analysis; (3) elimination of technical specifications; and (4) problems experienced with references. Commissioner Sutton commented on trying to resolve this problem by rebidding the project and stated, in his opinion, the same problem has reoccurred, which is that STS did not meet the bid specifications. Motion:, After discussion, Commissioner Barfield MOVED, SECONDED by Commissioner Retchin to adopt the resolution awarding the bid to Carolina Telephone & Telegraph Company, the lowest responsible bidder, in the amount of $121,878. The Chairman was authorized to execute the contract documents. The floor was opened for discussion. Mr. Rick Pridemor~, representing STS, stated when meeting with staff, the major issue was providing voice mail networking. As far as references, STS furnished seven references, with installation of larger systems. The items of concern are a matter of j ~- / I MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING & WORK SESSION,...JULY 20, 1992 PAGE 84 interpretation. staff has recommended an inflated system to provide a voice mail system. STS provided the voice mail feature in the bid submitted; however, staff is now saying that in order to provide the networking capability the bidder will have to be responsible for maintaining the County's two older systems. This was not clearly defined in the bid. Furthermore, STS can provide two new-voice mail systems that will be compatible to ROLM. The Commissioners were requested to award the bid to the lowest responsible bidder, Sound and Telephone Systems at $30,000 less. Chairman Mathews called for a vote on the MOTION. Upon vote, the MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. () A copy of the resolution is hereby incorporated as a part of the minutes and is contained in Exhibit Book XX, Page 5. AWARD OF CONTRACT #93-0050 TO D. R. JACKSON CONSTRUCTION, INC. FOR PHASE II EROSION CONTROL/SITE WORK AT THE WASTE-TO-ENERGY FACILITY Director of Environmental Management, Ray Church, stated the following bids were received for Phase II of the erosion control project at the Waste-to-Energy Facility: -Tri-state Consultants $21,650 $21,140 -Dickerson Carolina, Inc. (plus 2,350/acre seeding) -D. R. Jackson Construction, Inc. $10,000 -CBH Construction Company No bid received -Harry Dorsey No bid received The perimeter side slopes of the Waste-to-Energy Facility have severely eroded due to storm water run-off. A phased storm water management system has been designed. Phase I is completed and consisted of the engineering and installation of pipes and drains to collect storm water on the site. Phase II will consist of slope stabilization to fill in wash outs and construction of fabriform spillways and catch basins. () Staff recommends award of the contract to D. R. Jackson Construction, Inc. for the perimeter earthwork in the amount of $11,500. D. R. Jackson Construction, Inc. did not include grading of approximately 3,000 sq. ft. on the southside of the warehouse, and the additional work should not exceed $1,500; therefore, the total contract is for $11,500. commissioner Retchin commented on the difference in the bids received and inquired as to whether staff is satisfied with the figure presented by D. R. Jackson Construction, Inc. Director Church stated D. R. Jackson Construction, Inc. is a small company in Riegelwood; therefore, the company has a low overhead and can submit lower bids. This company has performed satisfactory work for the County on other clearing projects. Motion: Commissioner Retchin MOVED, SECONDED by Commissioner Barfield to award the contract to D. R. Jackson Construction, Inc. in the amount of $11,500 for the erosion control site work at the Waste-to-Energy Facility. The Chairman was authorized to execute the contract documents. The floor was opened for discussion. () Commissioner Sutton inquired as to whether a firm price has been developed since the price reflected in the agenda packet was an estimate. Director Church stated the total bid prlce is $11,500 which includes $1,500 for the grading work. l ',5 '%: ~ MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING & WORK SESSION, JULY 20, 1992 PAGE 85 Chairman Mathews called for a vote on the MOTION.

AWARD OF CONTRACT #93-0051 TO TRI-STATE CONSULTANTS FOR PHASE II EROSION CONTROL SLOPE RESTORATION FOR FABRIFORM SPILLWAYS AT THE WASTE-TO-ENERGY FACILITY Director of Environmental Management, Ray Church, stated the following bids were received for Phase II of the erosion control project for the construction of fabriform slope drains and catch basins in conjunction with repairs to the badly eroded perimeter slopes: -Tri-state Consultants $27,512 -The Prepack Concrete Company No bid received -Georgetown Enterprises No bid received Previous bids received for fabriform work at the landfill from Georgetown & Prepack were significantly higher than Tri-state. Since Tri-state is a North Carolina company and the other two companies are out-of-state and are not competitive on jobs of this size, staff recommends award of the contract to Tri-state Consultants. . Motion: Commissioner Retchin MOVED, SECONDED by Chairman Mathews to award the contract to Tri-State Consultants, in the amount of $27,512 for construction of fabriform spillway and catch basin work in Phase II of the erosion control slope project at the Waste-to- Energy Facility. The Chairman was authorized to execute the contract documents. Upon vote, the MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. A copy of the contract is on file in the Legal Department. AWARD OF BID #92-0292 TO IBM CORPORATION FOR DSS AUTOMATION COMPUTER SYSTEM County Manager O'Neal commented on this being a 1-2 year project and expressed appreciation to the MIS Director, DSS Director, and the cooperation received from the State in developing a program to assist the Department of Social Services (DSS) in better managing the paper work and improving the productivity of the DSS staff. . MIS Director, Bill Clontz, stated the Department of Social Services wishes to acquire an office automation system that will greatly reduce the massive paperwork that is associated with their service delivery. Most of the time that is being spent managing the cases is consumed by creating, filing and reviewing paper documents. Verifying information and communications between the other interested workers also requires large amounts of time. Availability of information in a timely manner, especially outside normal office hours, is a problem that will be resolved by the system. . This volume of paperwork, sometimes redundant, causes the service delivery to be delayed and in some cases risks the possibility of a financial penalty charged to the Department of Social Services. The proposed system is designed to eliminate many of these difficulties thereby gaining some measure of control on the rate of growth of staff in the agency. After working on funding sources for the past year, the federal government has approved grant funding for 50% of the project with the remaining 50% funded by the County which has been included in the DSS 1992-93 Budget. This is the first time that the federal government has provided funds for a project of this type and other counties throughout the State will be closely watching this process. j .----- / I I I I I I I I I I I l ~ MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING & WORK SESSION, ..JULY 20, 1992 PAGE 86 After thorough study of the system needed, staff recommends adoption of a resolution awarding the bid to IBM Corporation, the only responsible bidder, in a negotiated amount of $449,842 for purchase of a Computer System for DSS Office Automation. Motion: Commissioner Retchin MOVED, SECONDED by Commissioner Barfield to adopt a resolution awarding Bid #92-0292 to IBM Corporation in the amount of $449,842 for a Computer System for DSS Office Automation with the purchase to be made as an amendment to the existing contract with IBM (Contract #91-0039) previously approved by the Board of County Commissioners. The Chairman was authorized to execute the necessary contract documents. The floor was opened for discussion. () Vice-Chairman Greer inquired as to why two terminals will be placed in two DSS workers homes? DSS Director, Wayne Morris, stated these terminals are for child abuse workers who work after hours with child neglect and child abuse complaints. The terminals provide immediate access to information pertaining to the families involved. commissioner Sutton commented on a good faith effort to recruit bids and recommended that the MIS Director submit a list to the Clerk to the Board of persons contacted who decided not to bid in order for this information to be recorded in the official record. MIS Director Clontz stated he will be glad to furnish a list to the Clerk as requested. Ms. Sandra Barone, a candidate for County Commissioner, inquired as to the amount of County funds budgeted in the DSS FY 1992-93 budget and recommended that these figures be placed on the agenda in the future. () County Manager O'Neal stated 50% of the project would be approximately $250,000. Upon vote, the MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. A copy of the resolution and list of persons contacted is hereby incorporated as a part of the minutes and is contained in Exhibit Book XX, Page 5. A copy of the amendment under the existing contract is on file in the Legal Department. STATUS REPORT ON THE MERGER OF THE CITY OF WILMINGTON AND NEW HANOVER COUNTY PLANNING DEPARTMENTS County Manager O'Neal commented on the committee reports received from the New Hanover County Planning Commission and City of Wilmington Planning Commission with reference to pros and cons for consolidation of the two Planning Departments. Favorable opinions have been received from various civic groups when presenting programs on the proposed merger. Staff is in the process of writing a interlocal agreement, and the Commissioners were requested to present any concerns during this drafting process. () commissioner Barfield inquired as to how zoning will be handled without development of a common zoning ordinance and stated he will not support the merger until details have been worked out? Assistant County Manager, Dave Weaver, stated zoning will be handled by the consolidated Planning Department; however, enforcement of the zoning Ordinance would continue to be managed by the Inspections Department for the County and by the City's Zoning Office for the City. A work program will be prepared annually with the highest priority being to develop a consolidated zoning . . . ;f,} ~ MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING & WORK SESSION, JULY 20, 1992 PAGE 87 ordinance. At the present time, a nine member Planning Commission is proposed to handle both city and County zoning issues. After further discussion, it was concluded that development of a consolidated zoning ordinance should be incorporated in the interlocal agreement with a date established for completion of the ordinance. Vice-Chairman Greer recommended development of one Planning Department and one Planning Commission to administer planning and zoning for the entire County. Concern was expressed for these details not being worked out before the merger of the departments. Motion: After discussion of time needed to develop the merger, Commissioner Retchin MOVED, SECONDED by Commissioner Barfield to direct staff to continue with the process of combining the City and County Planning Departments with the first priority being to develop a common zoning ordinance. The floor was opened for discussion. commissioner Sutton stated, for the record, he will vote yes with the stipulation that this is not a total commitment. Upon vote, the MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. POSTPONEMENT OF CONSIDERING AN AMENDMENT TO SECTION 12-16 OF THE NEW HANOVER COUNTY CODE PERTAINING TO THE ISSUANCE OF FIREWORKS PERMITS Chairman Mathews stated the Inspections Director has requested removal of this item for further study. Consensus: It was the consensus of the Board to remove this item as requested by the Inspections Director. AUTHORIZATION TO PROCEED WITH ACQUIRING A 16-ACRE TRACT LOCATED ON U. S. HIGHWAY 117 NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF OAKLEY ROAD FOR PARK LAND Director of Parks & Recreation, Mike Waters, reported on the efforts of the County to secure suitable park land in the Wrightsboro area. After searching for a suitable piece of property, a 16 acre tract located on Highway 117 near the intersection of Oakley Road has been identified. The property is a cleared and wooded area suitable for both passive and active recreational facilities. A small creek divides the property providing a natural break between the cleared and wooded areas. After review by the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board, it is recommended that this tract of park land be purchased for $148,000 as agreed upon with the owner. Motion: After discussion of the voters of New Hanover County passing a bond issue to acquire park lands, Commissioner Retchin MOVED, SECONDED by Chairman Mathews to authorize the purchase of the property for the sum of $148,000 aDd authorize the County Manager to carry out the specific terms associated with this transaction contingent upon final review by the Legal Department and satisfactory completion of a standard boundary survey. Upon vote, the MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO THE CONTACT SCHEDULE FORM "MBE/EEO-7" IN NEW HANOVER COUNTY BIDDING PROCEDURES County Manager O'Neal stated after concerns expressed .for the procedures involved in the MBE component of the County's bidding process, it has been recommended that the standing Building Committee review the MBE procedures and m~ke r~qommendations for improvement or modification of the proce~s. While the Committee is somewhat broad-based, input should be obtained from both large and s~all .cont~actors as P?rt of the re~iew. Commissioner Sutton expressed concern for the misunderstanding by staff that has required all subcontractors contacted to be j (~ i I I \ I I I I l MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING & WORK SESSION,~_,;JULY 20, 1992 PAGE 88 listed in the general contract bid including the MBE's. Due to this requirement, the County lost $50,000 in the bid award for construction of the Myrtle Grove Branch Library simply because the low bidder did not list all the subcontractors contacted in the bid proposal. The intent was to require that only the successful subcontractors names appear in the bid plus a list of minority contractors that were contacted. Assistant to the County Manager, Pat Melvin, stated the document in question is the Contact Schedule Form MBEjEEO-7. Previously, the County did require that the bidder submit only information concerning minority subcontractors who were contacted; however, after action by the Board in February 1992, the policy was changed to require information on all subcontractors contacted. This document can be changed to read as follows: "record information on minority subcontractors contacted only". () Motion: Commissioner Sutton MOVED, SECONDED by Commissioner Barfield to direct staff to amend the Contact Schedule Form MBEjEEO-7 to require information concerning minority businesses contacted only in submission of bid proposals. This amendment is to be presented as a Consent Agenda item for August 3, 1992. Upon vote, the MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. BREAK Chairman Mathews called a break from 10:30 A.M. until 10:45 A.M.

They are also concerned for the negative impact on drainage with the recent 0&1 rezoning of 5 acres on Military cut-Off Road adjacent to Landfall. He requested staff, if at all possible, to assist these residents by identifying the problem and contacting the State for any necessary adjustments. () commissioner Barfield stated the N. C. Department of Transportation did perform a study to resolve the problem; however, the State did not follow through with the project due to the fact that they could not exceed the 12 ft. right-of-way. Officials from the Department of Transportation did meet with residents of Cavalier Woods with a plan developed; however, the residents did not pursue the matter. Assistant County Manager, Dave Weaver, stated the Engineering Department has developed a map of this area to see how the storm water run-off flows, which should be beneficial in identifying the drainage problem.

Health Director, Robert S. Parker, commented on combined efforts of New Hanover Regional Medical Center; the New Hanover County Health Department; New Hanover-Pender Medical Society; the Southeastern Center; the New Hanover County Department of Social Services and a local physician, Dr. Dan Gottovi; in securing funding for developing the New Hanover Community Health Center to provide primary health care services to medically underserved residents of the County. There are approximately 28,000 residents living in downtown Wilmington and northwest New Hanover County who have difficulty in finding primary health care services. At the present time, there are very few physicians that will accept Medicaid patients; therefore, many citizens are not receiving health care. In order to begin to resolve this problem, representatives from leading community, medical and civic groups came together to address this serious gap in the community health care system. A group was formed under the name of the Community Health Access Committee, and with technical assistance from the N. C. Office of Rural Health and Resource Development, a plan was formed assessing and meeting the needs identified. During this period of time, a grant was received from the Kate B. Reynolds Foundation which funded the preparation of the federal grant application for construction of the proposed Community Medical Center. Heal th Director Parker introduced Mr. Torlen Wade, Vice- President of the Office of Rural Health & Resource Development, to comment on the proposed Community Health Center. ~. ,:lj. ~ Mr. Wade commented on the submittal of a grant to the U. S. Bureau of Health Care Assistance through the Community Health Centers Program on May 31, 1992, to develop a Community Health Center in New Hanover County. After analysis of the community for the past year, the area designated as medically underserved contains a population of 28,756 with 29.8% of the population below poverty and 72% of the County's Medicaid recipients residing in this area. During the first year of the program, services will be delivered from the ,Rankin Terrace Health Clinic in cooperation with local agencies to provide primary health care services to residents as quickly as possible. While these interim services are provided, work will proceed on the construction of the permanent facility. During the second year, services will move into a permanent facility and have enough space to expand primary medical and other required services. By year three, the Center will have incorporated into its operation many of the services provided by other health and social agencies. In order to provide a primary health care program consisting of 6 providers, basic lab, x-ray, and pharmacy addition, the following costs have been projected: {" , -Construction of a 7,100 gross sq. ft. facility @$75 per sq. ft. plus equipment and furnishings at an estimated cost of $745,250. -The projected annual operation of the facility within 2-years of start-up is as follows: -Annual Operating Expenses Medical Services $ Pharmacy 935,000 225,000 $1,160,000 -Annual Operating Revenues . , Medical Services :J?harmacy $ 625,000 105,000 $ 730,000 j (-- I ~ MINUT~S OF REGULAR MEETING & WORK SESSION, JULY 20, 1992 PAGE 92 -Annual Operating Deficit Medical Services Pharmacy $ 310,000 120,000 $ 430,000 The proposed government for the project will be a 501(c) (3) community corporation composed of two types of members: community and institutional. The community members (who will all be users) represent the individuals to be served by the Center in terms of race, age, sex, economic status, and location. The institution members will represent the key health, social, and civic agencies including New Hanover Regional Medical Center; New Hanover County Heal th Department; New Hanover-Pender Medical Society; Southeastern Center; Wilmington Area Health Education Center; New Hanover County Department of Social Services; and New Hanover County Board of Commissioners. () The first year's budget is $1. 2 million with a requested federal grant of $780,000. In the second year, the Center will be moved into the new facility with a budget of $1.7 million with a federal grant of $950,000. In the third year, the budget will be $900,000 with a federal grant of $1.7 million. The federal government has received 154 applications nation-wide for establishment of community Health Centers with 45 applications being denied. At the present time, 109 active applications are being considered which will be reduced to 65 funded projects nation-wide. The County's application has received a favorable review from the Atlanta Regional Office and has been forwarded to another region of the Public Health Service for an objective review. Once this evaluation is completed, it will be returned to Atlanta for reconciliation and then forwarded to Washington, D. C. for a final decision. Notice on whether the grant application will be approved should be received wi thin 30 days with the exact funding level announced in September. () In summary, Mr. Wade complimented all agencies involved for developing an excellent plan and for the cooperative manner in which the agencies have supported the concept. Chairman Mathews commented on the projected annual operating deficit and inquired as to the funding source for this shortfall? Mr. Dick Sullivan stated the projected $430,000 shortfall will be collected from patients serviced by the Community Health Center through Medicaid/Medicare and/or private/commercial insurance coverage. Further discussion was held on this project's compatibility with New Hanover Regional Medical Center's plans. Mr. David Plate, President of the Regional Medical Center, commented on the project fitting nicely in the hospital's plan since before this idea was conceived, the Hospital Board of Trustees had decided that some type of assistance must be provided for these medically under served citizens. After discussion, this concept was developed, and it is felt that a community effort with all parties involved is much better than this being a hospital project only. () Discussion was held on the possibility of not receiving funding for the proposed Center. President Plate stated if the project is approved without funding, he would recommend waiting until next year to see what will transpire with the funding; however, if the grant application and project are denied, the Medical Center will begin to re-examine how this group of citizens can be provided primary health care. Further discussion was held on the savings to New Hanover Regional Medical Center with the opening of the community Health Center. President Plate stated after analysis of the number of . '. . ~ ~';>.~1,.' :~it M~NUTES OF REGULAR MEETING & WORK SESSION, JULY 20, 1992 'PAGE 93 patients that use the Emergency Room for routine health care, the hospital would save approximately $166,000 per year, which is a conservative figure. One of the primary advantages of the new Center will be to remove non-emergency patients from the hospital Emergency Room and provide a facility that will allow them to receive better primary medical care. commissioner Barfield stressed the importance of informing the public about the new facility and emphasizi~g the fact that the same level of care provided at the hospital will be provided by the Center. He cautioned too many comments about indigent care and the impression that the primary health care level would be reduced. N. C. Senator-Elect, Tom Wright, stated the public and news media must understand that this is a "full service" Community Health Center that is accessible to everyone, not just the indigent. Discussion was held on whether this facility will assist with the efforts to address the substance abuse problem, particularly drug abuse. Mr. Wade stated after discussion with the Southeastern Center, it is felt they would like to provide services in the new Center, particularly outreach programs on substance abuse and mental health problems. Commissioner Barfield commented on the lack of treatment facilities for drug abuse, and asked if it would be beneficial to incorporate this type of treatment into the Center? N. C. Senator-Elect Tom Wright stated the governing board of the Center plans to address and develop a plan for substance abuse since this was a major priority of the community when discussing the concept of the proposed Community Health Center. Further discussion was held on the interim facility beginning at the Rankin Terrace Health Clinic. Director Parker reported that the Rankin Terrace Health Clinic will not be terminated; however, patients will continue to be served by either the Rankin Terrace Health Clinic or the Community Health Center. If the new Community Health Center provides the same services to the same population at the same cost, including care for the indigent, the Board of Health and County Commissioners will have to make a decision to determine if the Rankin Terrace Health Clinic should remain open. Commissioner Sutton commented on being under the impression that the $150,000 funded to operate the Rankin Terrace Health Clinic will be appropriated to the new Community Health Center and requested an explanation. Director Parker stated the grant will cover the $143,000 to operate the Rankin Terrace Health Clinic; however, the County will have to decide how to use these resources. County Manager O'Neal stated the funds will probably continue to be used for health care whether at the Community Health Center or for other health programs. In summary, it was agreed by all persons present that the proposed Community Health Center will be beneficial to the entire community. PRESENTATION ON NEW HANOVER REGIONAL REHABILITATION HOSPITAL Mr. David Plate, President of New Hanover Regional Medical Center, stated Mr. James R. Eyerman, Vice-President of Finance, will present the revenue bond issue and financing of the Rehabilitation Hospital.

Discussion was held on concern for the Rehabilitation Hospital increasing the daily cost for patient care in New Hanover Regional Medical Center. Commissioner Sutton emphasized the importance of the public understanding that patients in New Hanover Regional Medical Center will not pay more daily because of the Rehabilitation Hospital. Discussion was held on the County's inability to sell any debt until January 1, 1993. Finance Director, Andrew J. Atkinson, stated there is a $10 million limit during the calendar year; therefore, the County will not have the ability to borrow money directly from banks which will increase, interest costs. commissioner Sutton expressed surprise for this limitation and stated this could be eliminated if the hospital became an authority. Discussion was held on the energy plant renovations being necessary, and the need for additional parking. A hospital Parking Task Force is addressing this matter and will be making recommendations within the near future.
