This funding is made possible through TPCB by a grant from the North Carolina Health and Wellness Trust Fund ~HWTF}, A total of $240,000 has been made available to distribute to local health departments that submit an application by actober 23, 2009. Funds are available through June 30, 2010. However, all service activities must be completed by May 31, 2010. II, BACKGROUND The North Carolina Tobacco Prevention and Control Branch TPCB}works to improve the health of North Carolina residents by promoting smoke-free environments and tobacco-free lifestyles. our goal is to build a capacity of diverse organizations and communities to implement and carry out effective, culturally appropriate strategies to reduce deaths and health problems due to tobacco use and secondhand smoke. The TPCB works in these four goal areas: • Prevent the initiation of tobacco use among young people • Eliminate exposure to secondhand smoke • Promote quitting tobacco among adults and youth • Identify and eliminate tobacco-related health disparities among populations House Bill 2, An Act to Prohibit Smoking in Certain Public Places and Certain Places of Employment, passed in 2008-2009 and was signed by the Governor on May 19, 2009. See http:Ilwww.ncle~.netlSessions120091Bil1slHouseIPDFIH2v 10. pdf. Beginning January 2, 2010, the public will see these new changes as a result of this new law: ~ Smoking will not be allowed in enclosed areas of almost all restaurants and bars. The new law does not apply to certain cigar bars that are open only to people over the age of 21, ~ Smoking will not be allowed in enclosed areas of lodging establishments, such as hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts, and inns, if the establishment prepares and serves food or drink. An establishment may designate up to 20°0 of its guest rooms as smoking rooms. • Local governments, such as cities and counties, will have new authority to adopt local laws regulating smoking in public places. A local law may not change the state law to allow smoking in restaurants, bars and lodging establishments, but it could prohibit smoking in more places. There are several limitations on and exceptions to this new local authority. 2 Board of Commissioners Meeting 2-2-2 Local Health Departments are statutorily responsible for implementation, yet no funding was appropriated for the implementation of House Bill 2. In meetings with the Division of Public Health and the Health and wellness Trust, the primary bill sponsor asked that the Health and Wellness Trust Fund and the Tobacco Prevention and Control Branch, NC Division of Public Health work together using existing resources to educate the public and the business community about the benefits of the new law, and to work with local health directors and local boards of health to provide assistance with the implementation. III, SCOPE OF SERVICES Funds are divided into two separate areas as outlined below. Counties may request funding for either, or both areas. Maximum available funding has been pre-established per county or district health department, using a formula based on the number of restaurants in each county. I. Funding for Education and Implementation: A total of $200,000 is available for activities, materials and paid media to aid in the promotion of the new law, and for education of the public and business community about the benefits of the new law. Allowable expenses include: • Travel to educate health department staff, businesses or the public about the new law, • Travel to meetings or registration for trainings about implementation of the new law, • Printing of materials to help with the implementation of the new law, • Postage for educating the businesses about the new law, • Purchase of supplies to help with the successful education and implementation efforts for the new law in their county, • Placement of approved media messages to promote the benefits of the smokefree restaurants, especially in larger counties serving major media markets. These will benefit a broader area than the county. TPCB Director or Public Education and Communications will approve media messages. • Temporary staff costs for local health departments to do task work related to implementation in year 1. Task work may include, for example, developing a page for the local health department website to report success of the smokefree restaurant and bars law's implementation in the county, etc. • Equipment costs under $500 to be used for implementation of the new law. II. Funding for Restaurant and Bar Coasters: An additional $40,000 is available to counties interested in purchasing restaurant and bar coasters to use as a business incentive, from a HWTF approved vendor. Should this funding be requested, orders will be placed on behalf of the Health Department, and the Health Department will be billed directly from the vendor. Initial design ideas include the NC Quitline logo on one side with the text "Time to quit? We can he1p." The reverse side will have blue text reading "We can all breathe easier. NC restaurants and bars are smoke-free as of January 2, 2010."} Coasters have been used by other states successfully implementing new smoke-free restaurant and bar laws as a business incentive and a means to educate customers. Estimated costs are approximately $.02 per coaster, not including shipping, Note: This funding must appear as a separate and distinct line item in the grant budget, and will also be used for any associated shipping costs. 3 Board of Commissioners Meeting 2-2-3 Funding Guidelines or Restrictions: 1. Local Health Departments shall not use sums awarded under this Agreement to substitute or supplant funds from other sources that are currently supporting any existing services. 2. All travel and subsistence expenses must be reimbursed under the prevailing State rates and policies for State employees. State travel rates may be found in the Budget Manual at www.osbm.state.nc.us. Out-of-state or international travel shall not be reimbursed under this Agreement. 3. Indirect costs are prohibited under this Agreement. 4. Local Health Departments shall maintain full, accurate and verifiable financial records, supporting documentation, and all other pertinent data for this Agreement for a period of five (5) years following the end of the Payment Period. 5. Local Health Departments shall not use these funds to support or engage in any effort to participate in political activities or lobbying, including but not limited to support of or opposition to candidates, ballot initiatives, specific legislation, referenda and other similar activities. 6. Funds may not be used for research. 7. Funds may not be used for enforcement activities related to the new law. 8. Counties receiving funding will be required to submit to TPCB a brief mid-cycle programmatic report by March 1, 2010, and an end-of-cycle narrative report detailing expenditure of funds by August 31, 2010. Request and Justification for Receipt of Funds: Maximum available funding for education and implementation has been pre-established per county or district health department, using a formula based on the number of restaurants in each county derived from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources restaurant database. Funding shall be in the amount of $9.80 per restaurant. Additional funding for the purchase (and related shipping costs) of restaurant and bar coasters has been divided into three tier levels, also based on the number of restaurants in each county. Funding will be distributed through the Aid-To-County Database. Multi-county applications will not be accepted, except from district health departments. 4 Board of Commissioners Meeting 2-2-4 Please refer to the following chart to identify your individual county or district's available funding levels for Education and Implementation funding (District Health Departments please refer to totals at the bottom of the chart).

Perdue Reuben F. Young Governor Secretary July 1, 2009 To North Carolina Homeland Security Stakeholders: As the Homeland Security Advisor (HSA) for North Carolina, I am extremely proud of the progress that we have made in developing and enhancing North Carolina's Homeland Security Program. This success could not have been accomplished without your cooperation and efforts. With your involvement and feedback, we have continued to make significant improvements in our State Homeland Security Program. As we continue to refine our process in FY 2010, I am continuing the process of providing this statement of Homeland Security priorities in North Carolina as advance guidance for the development of regional and statewide homeland security projects to ensure that proposed projects fit national and state priorities. While the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) priorities have yet to be published for the FY 2010 Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP), the 2007-2009 State Homeland Security Strategy (SHSS) serves as the overarching guide for shaping homeland security projects in North Carolina. Please use the SHSS goals and objectives that follow this document as your guide in the development of regional and state homeland security projects. I am providing the following guidance to aid you in identifying and prioritizing viable projects for submission under the FY 2010 Homeland Security Grant Program, with the caveat that we must also align projects with the National priorities as published by DHS in the FY 2010 Homeland Security Grant Program guidance: 1. Interoperable communications remains a top priority for NC and DHS. To that end completing the build out of the NC Voice Interoperable Plan for Emergency Responders (VIPER) represents a vital goal of FY 2010 projects. Other projects that address community alerting and warning will be considered as Interoperable communications projects as funding is available. 2. Continued enhancement of regional capabilities through the Domestic Preparedness Regions (DPRs) represents a second priority, and should address coordinating emergency operations planning in an effort to de-conflict plans, minimize duplication of efforts, and maximize employment of finite resources. Projects submitted by State and local agencies that propose enhancements to State and regional capabilities should be guided by the goals and objectives of the SHSS. Location: 512 N.

A third priority is to develop and conduct regionally based training and exercises sponsored by local and State agencies that will foster engagement of all disciplines while validating coordinated planning for preparedness, response and recovery efforts. Thank you for your involvement in the State Homeland Security Program and your commitment to identifying projects that meet the objectives of the State's Homeland Security Strategy.

McMahon CONTACT(S): Sheriff Edward J. McMahon and Kemp P. Burpeau, Deputy County Attorney SUBJECT: Approval of Updated Records Retention and Disposition Schedule and its September 28, 2009 Amendment for the New Hanover County Sheriff's Office BRIEF SUMMARY: The North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources, Division of Archives and History, Local Unit of the Government Records Branch, has published an updated Records Retention and Disposition Schedule and a September 28, 2009 Amendment for use by Sheriff Offices across the state. By enacting the guidelines and amendment, Sheriff's Offices can enhance and standardize their records policy and avoid having to retain obsolete documents. The schedule and the amendment are on file for review in the Sheriff's Office, Commissioners' Office, and the County Manager's Office. The Local Records Unit of the Government Records Branch amended item # 89 -sexual offender records, after discussion with staff members at the NC Department of Justice. There was concern about destroying records when offenders moved from the jurisdiction. The disposition schedule was modified to retain the records until court petition and review by the state, the length of the court order, or 30 years, whichever is greater. This is to ensure that records will be retained in the event the offender moves back into your jurisdiction. Also amended was the records retention for people in the Sexually Violent Offenders Program. Records used to be retained until known dead or moved from jurisdiction. Now reads retain until known dead or after 90 years. The Records Retention and Disposition Schedule is the primary way the Department of Cultural Resources gives its consent to destroy records as outlined in G.S. 121-5 and G.S.132-3. Sheriff McMahon is in agreement with the updated Records Retention and Disposition Schedule and September 28, 2009 Amendment.

The Commissioners increased to 3 alternates 11121/94 officially 411196}. The Zoning Ordinance requires members to be appointed from different areas within the County's zoning jurisdiction. Brief on Functions: The Board of Adjustment is a recognition of human frailty. If it were possible for the legislative body to write a perfect zoning ordinance which would meet the needs of the community while at the same time avoiding hardship in individual cases, there would be no need for this board. Because that has been found near impossible, the Board of Adjustment has been introduced as an integral part of almost every smoothly operating zoning enforcement mechanism, serving as a "pop-off valve" to relieve pressures resulting from hardship cases. In New Hanover County, the duties of the Board fall into two general categories: Interpretation and Granting Variances. Inter retation: The function of the Board of Adjustment which is most closely similar to that of the courts is interpretation of the Ordinance. This function involves ~a} interpreting the meaning of parts of the Ordinance which are unclear, fib} applying the Ordinance to particular fact situations, and, if necessary, ~c} correcting any mistakes or abuses of discretion which the Building Inspector may have made in administering the Ordinance. In exercising this power, the basic principle #or the Board tv keep in mind is that it must not vary the Ordinance. Its function here is to interpret and apply what the governing body has written, not to vary that legislative pronouncement to fit its own ideas. Its decisions must be in accord with what the Board believes to be the actual meaning and intent of the Ordinance. Grantin of Variances: General Statute 153A-345~d} provides that, "when practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships would result from carrying out the strict letter of a zoning ordinance, the Board of Adjustment may, in passing upon appeals, vary or modify any regulation or provision of the Ordinance relating to the use of land, so that the spirit of the Ordinance is observed, public safety and welfare secured, and substantial justice done." Basically, a variance is a permit, which the Board may grant in certain situations, enabling a property owner to make use of his property in some way which is in conflict with the literal provisions of the Ordinance. Sometimes a lot so small or so peculiarly shaped that the owner would have great difficulty in complying with the yard requirements and yet erecting a suitable building. Sometimes contours of the terrain are such as to crea#e hardships in complying with these requirements. Sometimes the lot is located in a cluster of nonconforming uses which will prevent the owner from securing any reasonable return from his land if he complies with the Ordinance has where a lot in a residential district is surrounded by nonconforming business structures}. When the Board grants exemptions from harsh provisions, it is "granting a variance."

This is understandable, however, when one considers the importance of its decisions which expand or limit property values. These are issues which must not be dealt with casually or arbitrarily.
