Sometimes these parcels have deed restrictions; however, often, they are in residential neighborhoods and are buildable lots. Additionally, New Hanover County may acquire parcels due to failure to pay taxes, foreclosures, etc. In accordance with N.C.G.S. 153A-378 (3), when parcels meeting the following eligibility are conveyed to New Hanover County, staff will recommend to the Board of County Commissioners at a regular meeting to either sell the parcel through the upset bid process or convey the eligible parcel without compensation to a registered nonprofit that is pre -qualified with New Hanover County for the purposes of constructing workforce housing. In order for the parcel to be eligible to be conveyed to a nonprofit under this policy, the following requirements must be met; a. Parcels must not be needed by the county for public use. b. Parcels must be zoned residential and all due -diligence performed by nonprofit recipient. c. Price points for finished homes shall be consistent with the surrounding area. In order for a nonprofit to be eligible to receive parcels under this policy, the following requirements must be met; a.

Nonprofit must have been in operation for a minimum of 2 years. e. Nonprofit must have a governing board and submit a current board roster. f. Nonprofit must provide a disclosure of any potential conflicts of interest. g. Nonprofit must meet all eligibility requirements on its own, and may not use a funding agent or other third party arrangement to meet eligibility requirements. Qualified nonprofits must meet the following performance requirements; a. Housing must be targeted and sold to families with incomes up to 120% area median income (AMI), which is consistent with accepted workforce housing standards. b. Housing must be available to all New Hanover County residents who meet eligibility requirements. c. The homes must be constructed and occupied within 2 years of transfer. If it is determined they are not able to construct a house within this timeframe, an extension for good cause can granted by the County Manager. d. Homes and parcels must be owner -occupied and taxable. Should the nonprofit fail to meet any of these performance criteria, the parcel will be conveyed back to New Hanover County or revert pursuant to deed provisions. The county will work with CFPUA in advance of the fiscal year to determine which parcels will be transferred during the fiscal year and work with pre -qualified non -profits in order to equitably distributed the parcels. The county will also work with the pre -qualified non -profits to equitably distribute other acquired parcels.

Mental health is a primary driver for substance use disorders and we know that after the past several years, so many in our community are suffering. The Office of Strategy, in collaboration with internal and external community partners, is developing a strategy for mental health and substance use disorders with the intent of preventing and reducing opioid abuse and ensuring equitable mental health resources are available so that we have a safe, healthy, secure, and thriving community for all. We began developing this strategy in late April and intend to bring forward a final strategy recommendation to the board in August. To support this strategy, we will provide recommendations for the use of the $50 million Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Fund and the opioid settlement funds totaling approximately $18.4 million over an 18-year period from those settlements. To date, we have held four meetings with our core strategy development team and one meeting with consumers of mental health and substance use disorder services. These meetings have been focused on developing a comprehensive awareness of data trends, historical trends, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and consumer input on experiences before seeking treatment, during treatment, and after treatment. General themes we have discovered are concerns around provider capacity, access to services, and support structures to sustain treatment and recovery. Our next meetings will focus on developing specific strategies and an associated funding strategy. Future meetings will also include collaboration with the North Carolina Health and Human Services Secretary and the North Carolina Association of Counties to ensure we are leveraging all available resources for maximum impact to our community.

NC General Statute 153A-241 authorizes the county to permanently close any public road or easement within the county not under the control of a city or the NC Department of Transportation (NCDOT) by first adopting a resolution declaring intent to close a road and calling a public hearing on the matter. The Bide -A -Wee Subdivision was recorded with the New Hanover County Register of Deeds in March 1955 at Book 571, Page 24 % creating 14 new residential lots facing Linaker Avenue (now Kerr Avenue) with three (3) road -stubs perpendicular to the state road. The stubs are each approximately 60 feet wide by 200 feet long and have never been accepted into the NCDOT maintenance system. Two (2) of the stubs currently serve as private driveway access to the Cape Fear Optimist Club. The remining third is between 2805 and 2809 Blue Clay Road and does not serve as access to any other property. NCDOT stated they have no intention of accepting the stub, and the Cape Fear Public Utility Authority (CFPUA) stated they will only require a utility easement over a portion of the property if the road stub is closed. If closed, the property owner would be required to hire a surveyor to recombine the lot lines and establish the utility easement. If the resolution is adopted, Planning staff will post public notices at the road stub and a legal notice will run in the newspaper for three consecutive weeks before the public hearing date in accordance with the public road closure procedures established by the NC General Statutes and New Hanover County Public Street Abandonment requirements. Staff recommends that the public hearing be held at the August 1, 2022, Board of Commissioners regular meeting to allow for the public notification requirements.

This street is a short `stub', existing only on the Bide -A -Wee deed map (attached- Exhibit One). No improvements were ever made and the NCDOT never accepted this road into the State Road System (reference attached email- Exhibit Two). Furthermore, no adjoining parcels are served directly by the `Street', as each has access directly to Blue Clay Road. With regards to current use, as the only adjoining owner, I have observed this empty strip separating my Blue Clay Road parcels for approximately 3 years. In that time, I have been the only person to maintain the area and, other than my tenants at 2805 and 2809 Blue Clay Road, the area appears unused. I believe that condition has been the prevailing state of the `Street' since its creation by deed in the 1950s. It is noteworthy that CFPUA installed a waterline within the area over the past year. Since that projects completion, however, the street has returned to its long-term condition; disuse. I have spoken to the Authority and, with provision of a utility easement, they do not foresee any issue with our request to close the street (reference attached email- Exhibit Three). It is also noteworthy that my neighbor to the rear in this area is the Optimist Club of Cape Fear. Specifically the undeveloped street aligns with the outfield area between two ballfields in their Wrightsboro facility. The common use for the ballpark, however, is served by two primary access points along N. Kerr Avenue. These driveways are maintained and align with the parking lots and clubhouse provided for the facility. Regarding the `Street' under application for closure, it is reasonable to consider the Club may need access through this area to provide upkeep and/ or maintenance to ballpark facilities. For this reason, I have taken it upon myself to meet with the Club and, we are currently working on a draft easement agreement to provide access after closure of the road. Ultimately, the road under petition is a "Street" that goes nowhere and is a largely forgotten piece of land. For these reasons, I respectfully petition for its closure.

NCDOT has determined the required improvements and has agreed to assume responsibility for maintenance once the improvements have been completed. Based on a process developed in 2021, New Hanover County would be responsible for bidding the project, providing oversight of the improvements, and assessing the benefited parties for the cost of the improvements plus other costs incurred by the county. As provided for the NCGS 153a-205(b), New Hanover County may finance the local share of the improvements, which is estimated to be $35,728, as long as a petition for the improvements is received which is "signed by at least seventy- five (75%) of the property owners of property to be assessed, who must represent at least seventy-five (75%) of all the lineal feet of frontage of the lands abutting on the street or portion thereof to be improved." The signed petition that was presented to the county represents 23 of 23 of the property owners and exceeds both seventy-five (75%) thresholds. One hundred percent of the cost of the improvements plus other costs incurred by the county will be assessed against the benefited properties. The basis for making the assessment against the benefited properties will be the number of parcels with road frontage and addresses on Bedrock Court and Stoneybrook Road at an equal rate per parcel, as allowed by NCGS 153A-186(a). Each property owner will have the option of paying their assessment in five equal annual installments which will bear interest at a rate that approximates all costs, including opportunity cost, to administer the installment loans. The first annual installment will be due sixty days after the final assessment roll has been confirmed. As required in NCGS 153a-192, the board must first adopt a preliminary assessment resolution before a public hearing is conducted or a final resolution can be adopted. Should the Board of Commissioners agree to move forward with this request, then a public hearing on all matters covered by the preliminary assessment resolution will be held at 4:00 pm on the 1st day of August 2022.

Using the required process set forth in General Statute 153A, Article 9, the County would consider holding public hearings to establish the special assessment and could then engage a contractor at property owners' full cost and expense estimated at $35,728.75 (estimated to be $1,553.42 per property subject to final actual costs). The property owners who have property that abuts Bedrock Court and the portion of Stoneybrook Road stated above would be charged their respective assessed share of all the final actual costs, to be paid on or before a County specified period no less than one (1) year and no more than ten (10) years at a County specified interest rate no more than eight (8) percent (%) per year. The debt would be a lien on the residential parcels until fully paid and discharged. In order for the county to consider this project, at least 75% of the property owners with at least 75% of the lineal feet adjoining the roads must sign in support of the petition for the Board to consider this request and NCDOT must agree to assume maintenance and repair responsibility for the roads. If the county agrees to move forward with this project, then all property owners with property adjoining Bedrock Court and the portion of Stoneybrook Road stated above will be assessed, whether or not they were in support of the petition.

The recommended eligible activities have been designed to address the community's housing needs by increasing the supply of residential units, retaining our existing affordable housing stock, and increasing residents' access to those homes. In order to best determine the community needs at this time, the RFP is intended to be released in July 2022. For -profit and non-profit developers and agencies would be invited to submit proposals for funding to assist programs and projects that would ensure comprehensive opportunities for workforce and affordable housing in New Hanover County. While the overall budget for this initial round of funding would be open, a limit of $1.5 million per program/project is proposed. Eligible activities include the construction or rehabilitation of affordable single-family or multifamily housing units for sale or rent, downpayment assistance, tenant -based rental assistance, and/or emergency repair of single-family units for income eligible clients. A point -based criteria has been established to evaluate the financial feasibility of the project and development quality, as well as the capacity and experience of the development team. The Workforce Housing Advisory Committee reviewed and discussed the proposed framework at their June meeting. In addition to the point -based evaluation criteria, programs/projects increasing the supply of affordable housing would be prioritized for the initial round of funding based on shovel readiness (projects able to break ground prior to July 2023) and the number of new units that would be provided. Additional priorities, including target AMI, the length of period of affordability, and acceptance of housing choice vouchers are listed in the attached framework. Following staff review of submittals, a sub -committee of the Workforce Housing Advisory would be provided a summary of the applications with staff recommendations. This sub -committee is proposed to consist of five members of the committee that do not have a conflict of interest in the process, with at least three members representing appointments from the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners. Recommendations from the sub -committee would be presented to the Board of Commissioners in October 2022 for funding allocations. Based on Board feedback, staff will finalize the evaluation criteria and will develop a public release plan in coordination with Communications staff prior to issuing the RFP.

ATTACHMENTS: DRAFT Workforce Housing Services Program Criteria and Priorities COUNTY MANAGER'S COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: (only Manager) Hear presentation and provide feedback. COMMISSIONERS' ACTIONS: Heard presentation and provided feedback. Board of Commissioners - June 20, 2022 ITEM: 14 DRAFT Workforce Housing Services Program Criteria and Priorities for FY 23 Initial Funding Cycle Applicants Applicants may be: • For -profit corporations, partnerships, or sole proprietors; • Private incorporated non-profit agencies with IRS 501(c)(3) or similar designation; or • Public non-profit agencies and governmental agencies Applicants may not be individuals seeking to build an individual unit for their family. Eligible Activities The following are examples of eligible activities: • Construction (including site work, including infrastructure, operational, and design costs) of new affordable single-family or multifamily housing units for sale or rent; • Conversion/rehabilitation of existing residential and non-residential structure(s) for affordable single-family or multifamily housing units for sale or rent; • Downpayment assistance for income eligible homebuyers; • Tenant -based rental assistance; and • Emergency repair of single-family units for income eligible clients. All activities must take place in New Hanover County with zoning in place. Definition of Affordability To be considered affordable units, units for sale must be sold to an eligible household, having a maximum sales prices as described in HUD's HOME and Housing Trust Fund Homeownership Sales Price Limits Table available at the time of the opening of the RFP process. To be considered affordable rental units, units for rent must be rented as a rate not to exceed HUD's Fair Market Rent as described in HUD's Fair Market Documentation System available at the time of the opening of the RFP process. Programs that provide rental assistance to lower the cost of rent to the fair market rate will also be considered eligible. 1 Board of Commissioners - June 20, 2022 ITEM: 14- 1 - 1 Evaluation Criteria A point -based criteria has been established to evaluate the financial feasibility of the project and development quality, as well as the capacity and experience of the development team. Criteria Possible Points Project Viability Financial Feasibility 30 Development Quality 15 Development & Management Team 25 New Hanover County Housing Goals Increase Stock 15 Improve Stock 10 Increase Access 5 Project Viability Financial Feasibility (30 Points) Preference is given to projects that have a high probability of moving forward and leveraging other sources of financing. New Hanover County will review each project's development pro forma for accuracy and reasonableness, evaluating and underwriting each application on a case -by -case basis. An updated budget is required once all funding sources are in place. Projects that have secured or seek to leverage funds from other sources, where eligible, will be given preference, and may include North Carolina Housing Finance Agency (NCHFA) programs, government funding sources such as the City of Wilmington, as well as leveraging private debt or charitable donations. Projects that have commitments of other funding at the time of application are preferred. Letters of support from other funding sources should be provided in this application. Funds available from New Hanover County are generally used to fund project permanent financing gaps. Unless the proposal states otherwise, the county assumes that the drawdown of its funds will take place after completion and lease -up of the units as a source of permanent financing. Applications for pre - development or construction financing will be considered on a case -by -case basis. Development Quality (15 Points) Projects will be evaluated upon the quality of the project design material selection and site considerations. This evaluation of project quality will consider the quality of the applicant teams' past projects, including: • Site must be zoned for proposed development; • Final site plan approval; • Material selections are of good quality, designed for normal maintenance and can be expected to perform well over the long-term; • The site is suitable for the proposed development, with water, sewer, and electric service available or available to connect with adequate capacity to serve the site; and • Subsidized units located within a larger development should be of comparable size and quality to the market rate units. 2 Board of Commissioners - June 20, 2022 ITEM: 14- 1 - 2 Development and Management Team (25 Points) Consideration will be given to the capacity and experience of the development and management team, including: • A proven track record of developing and maintaining workforce/affordable housing projects inside or outside of New Hanover County, with preference given to organizations who have completed projects in New Hanover County; • If applicant has not completed a past project in New Hanover County, applicant should clearly demonstrate a successful track record completed multiple high -quality workforce/affordable projects outside of New Hanover County; • Applicant should highlight experience maintaining long-term affordability for projects; and • Evaluation of the creditworthiness and financial management of the developer or sponsor to ensure acceptable financial capacity to carry the project forward. Project Priorities In addition to the point -based evaluation criteria, staff and the subcommittee will refer to the following priorities when recommending funding allocations for this initial funding cycle: • Shovel ready to break ground prior to July 2023 • Number of proposed new units • Mixture of price -points • Period of affordability that exceeds 15 years with additional considerations for projects at 30 years • Target AMI under 80% with additional consideration for units under 50% and 30% AMI • Acceptance of Housing Choice Vouchers Strong preference will be based on the ability to create an immediate impact to New Hanover County residents. Funding constraints, individual project merits, and achievement of the desired mix of project types will all factor into the ultimate allocation recommendation. Preference will be given to projects that demonstrate intent to leverage other sources of debt, equity, or other funding prior to and beyond the WHSP requests. WHSP funding for construction projects are primarily intended to provide permanent financing, but acquisition or construction financing will also be considered on a case -by -case basis. The WSHP construction funding is intended to provide gap financing for developments that leverage other public and private funding sources. Proposals for New Hanover County to provide the majority of project funding will be considered on a case -by -case basis. WHSP funding for non -construction projects will be determined during the contract process. 3 Board of Commissioners - June 20, 2022 ITEM: 14- 1 - 3 Appendix HUD Limits at FY 2023 WHSP Application Submittal' 2022 HUD Income Limits for Wilmington, NC HUD Metro Area (Effective April 18, 2022) AMI Household Size 1 2 3 4 5 60% AM $35,820 $40,920 $46,020 $51,120 $55,260 100%AM1 $59,700 $68,200 $76,700 $85,200 $92,100 120% AM $71,640 $81,840 $92,040 $102,240 $110,520 Note: Median income for a family of four is $90,600 HUD Fair Market Rent2 FY 2022 Wilmington, NC HUD Metro FMR Area FRMs for All Bedroom Sizes Efficiency One -Bedroom Two -Bedroom Three -Bedroom Four -Bedroom FY 2022 $814 $988 $1,164 $1,545 $1,992 Housing Needs Assessment Type New Hanover Housing Percent AMHI 5 30% Coun(y Housing Segment & Affordability Annual Income < $23,500 Needs Estimates (20211 to RentlPrice Range < $575 211311) Housing G ap 2,787 31%-50% $23,501-$39,000 S576-S975 1,968 v 51%60% $39,001-$47,000 $976-$1,174 1,231 61%80% $47,001-$63,000 $1,175-$1,575 1,431 W/0-120% $63,001-$94,000 $1,51642,349 1,796 121%+ $94,001+ $2,350+ 1,563 5 30% c $23,500 c $74,000 1,228 31°/a50% $23,501-$39,000 S74,00 i -$ 12 3,000 862 51°/a 60°/0 $39,001-$47,000 $123,001-$]48,000 1,165 w 61%80% $47,001-$63,000 $148,0014199,000 1,471 81%-120% $63,001-$94,000 $199,0014296,000 3,659 121%+ $94,001+ $296,(H)l+ 4,632 *Number of units assumes product is marketable, affordable and in a marketable location.

These displaced residents are currently being housed mainly in hotels, but also in several apartment complexes. Currently, the Wilmington Housing Authority does not have the approximate $6.3 million in funding needed to remediate the 150 units that have mold. County staff along with WHA staff believe this project is eligible for a grant from the NC Office of Recovery & Resiliency for up to $3 million and the county is prepared to assist WHA with that application process. This grant, coupled with a loan of $3.3 million, would provide full funding for the requested project costs. A request for half of the $3.3 million was approved by City Council at its June 7, 2022 meeting. County staff is requesting that the Board of Commissioners approve the remaining 50% of the loan to WHA for $1.65 million. If approved by commissioners, the loan would come from the county's fund balance in the General Fund. The funding would be provided to WHA in installments as required to complete the remediation work. Staff is also requesting that the board delegate the authority to the County Manager to negotiate the loan terms and agreement with the Wilmington Housing Authority, with a report out to the county commission when terms are reached.

Crowell, Clerk to the Board Board of Commissioners - June 20, 2022 ITEM: 15- 2 - 1 NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION MEETING DATE:6/20/2022 Regular DEPARTMENT: Strategy PRESENTER(S): Jennifer Rigby, Chief Strategy Officer and Lisa Wurtzbacher, Assistant County Manager CONTACT(S): Jennifer Rigby and Lisa Wurtzbacher SU BJ ECT: Consideration of Updated Addendum to the Project Grace Memorandum of Understanding with Zimmer Development Company and Adoption of Budget Amentment 22-079 BRIEF SUMMARY: In March 2021, the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners approved a Memorandum of Understanding with Zimmer Development Company to develop a public private partnership in downtown Wilmington and include the downtown library, Cape Fear Museum, and associated private development. This MOU outlined the project program, the project structure, and a timeline for development. Since March 2021, schematic plans, design development documents, and final construction documents have been prepared. During this process, the project has been further refined. These updates create the need to add an addendum to the existing Memorandum of Understanding. The addendum to the Memorandum of Understanding includes the following updates: • Square footage adjustments to the library and museum which result in a net increase of approximately 4,000 square feet. • The addition of a replacement stair tower to the Parking Facility. • The removal of $7,500,000 (intended for the design and fabrication of the Cape Fear Museum exhibits) from the developer's budget. (Note: the county intends to pay for these costs separately from loan proceeds.) • The reduction of the base rent amount for the Cape Fear Museum and Library from $4,508,000 annually to $4,003,000 annually. • An increase of private investment in the project from approximately $23 million to just over $30 million. • A provision for New Hanover County to purchase the plans from Zimmer Development at a cost not to exceed $2.5 million in the event necessary approvals from the Local Government Commission are not received. Budget Amendment 22-079 will appropriate the cost of museum exhibits that will be constructed within Project Grace. The new exhibits will be paid for through installment loan proceeds. The county desires to expend its own funds for the purpose of paying certain costs of the project, for which expenditures the county reasonably expects to reimburse itself from the proceeds of debt to be incurred by the county. This declaration of official intent is made pursuant to Section 1.150-2 of the Treasury Regulations to expressly declare the official intent of the county to reimburse itself from the proceeds of debt to be hereinafter incurred by the county for certain expenditures paid by the county on or after the date which is sixty (60) days prior to the date hereof.

This Amendment supplements and amends that certain Memorandum of Understanding dated April 9, 2021 (the "Memorandum"), and capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein will have the meaning set forth in the Memorandum. RECITALS A. Over the course of the past twelve (12) months, the Parties have undertaken development of the Project Plans in accordance with Article 3 of the Memorandum, solicited public comment, and revised the Project Plans accordingly. B.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto do hereby amend the Memorandum as follows: 1. Scope and Description of Project. The Parties acknowledge and agree to the following amendments to the description of the Project: a. Swap of Parcel Locations. The Civic and Arts Facilities now will be constructed on the parcel north of the Parking Facility (which parcel was formerly referenced as the "North Parcel"). The Mixed Use Facility originally contemplated to be constructed on the so-called "North Parcel" will now be situated on the parcel south of the Parking Facility. Therefore, the defined term "North Parcel" previously used in the original Memorandum is hereby amended and replaced with the new phrase "South Parcel" to refer to the new location of the Mixed Use Facility, on the parcel south of the Parking Facility. (Further, the term "North Parcel Acquisition Agreement" is hereby replaced with the phrase "South Parcel Acquisition Agreement"). b. Civic and Arts Facilities. The Project Plans have been amended to relocate the Retail Component out of the Civic and Arts Facilities building -- such that the entirety of the Civic and Arts Facilities building will be comprised of the Library Component, Museum Component and related shared space and common areas. The Civic and Arts Facilities will be 100% occupied by the County. 1 Board of Commissioners - June 20, 2022 ITEM: 16- 1 - 1 c. Mixed Use Facilities. Developer's Retail Component will now be located in the Mixed Use Facility on the South Parcel. d. Ground Lease/Conveyance from County. The Civic and Arts Facilities parcel will be subject to a Ground Lease from the County to Developer, for purposes of developing the Library Component and Museum Component. In order to develop the private mixed use components of the Mixed Use Facility, the South Parcel will be acquired in fee simple at fair market value by Developer pursuant to the South Parcel Acquisition Agreement. e. Mixed Use Condominium. No portion of the Civic and Arts Facilities will be retained for private use by Developer following construction. f. Civic and Arts Facilities Lease. The sublease back to the County of the civic facilities to be constructed by Developer in the Civic and Arts Facilities, which was previously referred to as the "Library, Museum and Shared Space Lease," now will be referred to as the "Civic and Arts Facilities Lease," and will apply to the entirety of the Civic and Arts Facilities, including the Library Component and Museum Component, the shared space and common areas, and inclusive of certain upfit, basic furniture and fixtures, etc. (other than books, exhibits, library materials and art/museum display items, etc.). The Ground Lease will run continuous with the Civic and Arts Facilities Lease, and upon expiration of the Civic and Arts Facilities Lease and the Ground Lease, all ownership of the Civic and Arts Facilities will be vested in/revert to the County, free and clear of the Ground Lease and Civic and Arts Facilities Lease. The term of the Civic and Arts Facilities Lease will commence on the earlier of (i) the date any portion of the Civic and Arts Facilities opens to the public, or (ii) the date that is ninety (90) days following Developer's notice of substantial completion of the Civic and Arts Facilities, and will expire twenty (20) years following the rent commencement date. Developer's obligations of maintenance and repair as landlord under the Civic and Arts Facilities Lease shall be limited to structural and exterior elements (roof, exterior walls, foundations, etc.) of the Civic and Arts Facilities. g. Development Timeline to Ensure Continuity of Library Services. The New Hanover County Library is currently operating within facilities existing on the South Parcel. In order to ensure continuity of library services to the community, the Definitive Agreements will provide that development of the Project will be staged, such that (i) the Civic and Arts Facilities will be developed first, then (ii) the South Parcel will be redeveloped, and the Mixed UseComponent will be constructed, only after issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the Civic and Arts Facilities, to allow for the relocation (and uninterrupted operation) of the existing library services to the new Library Component. 2 Board of Commissioners - June 20, 2022 ITEM: 16- 1 - 2 h.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners of New Hanover County, North Carolina, meeting in regular session on the 20th day of June 2022, make the following findings of fact: 1. The proposed contract is necessary or expedient to pay the costs of constructing the new Facilities while also bringing new mixed use and commercial development to this critical downtown block. The proposed contract is preferable to a bond issue for the same purpose although the cost of financings the Facilities pursuant to the lease is expected to exceed the cost of financing the same pursuant to a bond financing for the same undertaking, the County hereby determines that the cost of financing the facilities to lease is preferable to a general obligation bond financing or revenue bond financing for several reasons, including but not limited to the following: (1) the cost of a special election necessary to approve a general obligation bond financing, as required by the laws of the State, would result in the expenditure of significant funds; (2) the time required for a general obligation bond election would cause an unnecessary delay which would thereby decrease the financial benefit of the Facilities; (3) insufficient revenues are produced by the Facilities so as to permit a revenue bond financing; and (4) the County has negotiated with the Developer to provide mixed use and commercial development in connection with the construction of the Facilities which will bring additional tax revenues and benefits to the County that could not be guaranteed to meet the same community benefits of another procurement method. 3. The sums to fall due under the contract are adequate and not excessive for the proposed purpose. Estimates for the proposed projects to be financed have been analyzed and determined by persons knowledgeable of the proposed project to be reasonable and are subject to a guaranteed maximum price. 4. The County's debt management procedures and policies are excellent and have been carried out in compliance with law. The County employs a Chief Financial Officer to oversee compliance with applicable laws relating to debt management. The Board of Commissioners requires annual audits of County finances. In connection with these audits, compliance with laws is reviewed. The County is not in default in any of its debt service obligations. The County Attorney reviews all debt -related documents for compliance with laws. 5. No increase in taxes is necessary to meet the sums to fall due under the proposed contract. 6. The County is not in default in any of its debt service obligations. Board of Commissioners - June 20, 2022 ITEM: 17- 2 - 1 7. The attorney for the County of New Hanover, North Carolina has rendered an opinion that the proposed Project is authorized by law and is a purpose for which public funds may be expended pursuant to the Constitution and laws of North Carolina. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Chief Finance Officer is hereby authorized to act on behalf of the County of New Hanover County in filing an application with the North Carolina Local Government Commission for approval of the Project and the proposed financing contract and other actions not inconsistent with this resolution.

Tenant shall be responsible for the repair, replacement and maintenance in good order and condition of all parts and components of the Premises, other than those specified for repair, replacement and maintenance by Landlord above, including, without limitation, the plumbing, wiring, electrical systems, HVAC system (provided that Landlord shall make available and assign to Tenant any HVAC warranty for the HVAC system installed by Landlord in connection with Landlord's Work), glass and plate glass, equipment and machinery constituting fixtures, and except as set forth in Section 10 above, the cost of repair, replacement and maintenance of the common areas serving the Premises, including, but not limited to, the parking areas, driveways, sidewalks and exterior lighting located on the Premises, the cost of grass mowing, shrub care and general landscaping, irrigation systems, garbage collection and disposal, water and sewer, plumbing, signs and utilities that serve the Premises, unless such repairs or replacements are required as a result of the negligence, misconduct or intentional acts or omissions of Landlord, its agent(s), contractor(s), employee(s), invitee(s), or subcontractor(s) in which event Landlord shall be responsible for such repairs and all costs associated therewith. At the end of the Lease Term, Tenant shall return the Premises to Landlord in as good condition as they were when received, excepting only normal wear and tear, loss by fire or other casualty, and repairs required to be made by Landlord hereunder. Tenant's duty to maintain the HVAC system shall specifically include the duty to enter into and maintain at Tenant's sole expense during the Lease Term a contract(s) for the routine and periodic maintenance and regular inspection of such HVAC system, the replacement of filters as recommended and the performance of other recommended periodic servicing in accordance with applicable manufacturer's standards and recommendations. Such contract (a) shall be with a North Carolina contractor licensed in HVAC maintenance and repair; (b) shall satisfy the requirements for routine and periodic maintenance, if any, necessary to keep all applicable manufacturer's warranties (as assigned by Landlord to Tenant) in full force and effect; and (c) shall provide that in the event this Lease expires or is earlier terminated for any reason whatsoever that said contract shall be immediately terminable by Landlord or Tenant without any cost, expense or other liability on the part of Landlord. Upon request, Tenant shall provide a copy of such contract to Landlord. 12. TRADE FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT. Any trade fixtures installed in the Premises at Tenant's expense shall remain Tenant's personal property and Tenant shall have the right at any time during the Lease Term to remove such trade fixtures. Upon removal of any trade fixtures, Tenant shall immediately restore the Premises to substantially the same condition as they were when received by Tenant, ordinary wear and tear and loss by fire or other casualty alone excepted. 9 Board of Commissioners - June 20, 2022 ITEM: 17- 3 - 10 Any trade fixtures not removed by Tenant at the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease may be removed by Landlord from the Premises and stored, all at Tenant's expense and without any recourse against Landlord with respect thereto, provided that Landlord shall have no obligation to store any trade fixtures or personal property of Tenant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the following property shall in no event be deemed to be "trade fixtures" and Tenant shall not remove any such property from the Premises under any circumstances, regardless of whether installed by Landlord or Tenant: (a) any air conditioning, air ventilating or heating fixtures or equipment; (b) any lighting fixtures or equipment; (c) any dock levelers; (d) any carpeting or other permanent floor coverings; (e) any paneling or other wall coverings; (f) plumbing fixtures and equipment; or (g) permanent shelving. 13. UTILITIES AND SERVICES. Tenant shall contract for and pay all utilities or services related to the Premises including without limitation electricity, gas, heat, water, sewer, telephone, data, management, and janitorial services. Landlord shall not be responsible for the stoppage or interruption of utilities services, nor shall Landlord be liable for any damages caused by or from the plumbing and sewer systems. 14. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES. If the Premises are damaged by fire or other casualty, the provisions of Section 21 of the Ground Lease shall control as to Landlord's obligations (if any) of repair and restoration, and in the event Landlord shall have the right to terminate the Ground Lease under Section 21 thereof, Landlord shall also have the right to terminate this Lease. In connection with any such casualty, if the Premises are damaged but are not rendered untenantable for Tenant's business, either in whole or in part, Landlord shall cause such damage to be repaired without unreasonable delay and Rent shall not be abated. If by reason of such casualty the Premises are rendered untenantable in Tenant's business, either in whole or in part, Landlord shall cause the damage to be repaired or replaced without unreasonable delay (subject to any right of Landlord to terminate or otherwise elect not to undertake such repair under the Ground Lease), and, in the interim, Rent shall be proportionately reduced as to such portion of the Premises as is rendered untenantable. Any such abatement of Rent shall not, however, create an extension of the Lease Term.. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such abatement of Rent shall not apply if the casualty shall be attributable to Tenant's negligence or willful misconduct. Except as provided herein, Landlord shall have no obligation to rebuild or repair in case of fire or other casualty, and no termination under this Section 14 shall affect any rights of Landlord or Tenant hereunder because of prior defaults of the other party. Tenant shall give Landlord immediate notice of any fire or other casualty in the Premises. 15. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Tenant agrees, at its own expense, to comply promptly with all laws, ordinances and regulations (including without limitation the Americans with Disabilities Act) and with all requirements of any legally constituted public authority that may be in effect from time to time made necessary by reason of Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises. Landlord agrees, at its own expense, to comply promptly with any such requirements if not made necessary by reason of Tenant's specific use of the Premises. 16. MUTUAL W AIVER OF SUBROGATION. For the purpose of waiver of subrogation, the parties mutually release and waive unto the other all rights to claim damages, costs or expenses for any injury to property caused by a casualty of any type whatsoever in, on or about the Premises 10 Board of Commissioners - June 20, 2022 ITEM: 17- 3 - 11 if the amount of such damage, cost or expense has been paid to such damaged party under the terms of any policy of insurance. All insurance policies carried with respect to this Lease, if permitted under applicable law, shall contain a provision whereby the insurer waives, prior to loss, all rights of subrogation against either Landlord or Tenant. 17. INDEMNIFICATION AND LIABILITY INSURANCE. A. Tenant shall indemnify and save Landlord harmless against any and all claims, suits, demands, actions, fines, damages, and liabilities, and all costs and expenses thereof (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of injury to persons (including death) or property occurring in, on or about, or arising out of the Premises if caused or occasioned wholly or in part by any act(s) or omission(s) of Tenant, its agent(s), contractor(s), employee(s), invitee(s), licensee(s), servant(s), subcontractor(s) or subtenant(s), except if caused by any act(s) or omission(s) on the part of Landlord, its agent(s), contractor(s), employee(s), invitee(s), licensee(s), servant(s) or subcontractor(s). The non -prevailing party shall also pay all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees that may be incurred by the prevailing party in enforcing the agreements of this Lease, whether incurred as a result of litigation or otherwise. Tenant shall give Landlord immediate notice of any such happening causing injury to persons or property. B. Landlord shall indemnify and save Tenant harmless against any and all claims, suits, demands, actions, fines, damages, and liabilities, and all costs and expenses thereof (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of injury to persons (including death) or property occurring in, on or about, or arising out of the Premises if caused or occasioned by any act(s) or omission(s) of Landlord, its agent(s), contractor(s), employee(s), invitee(s), licensee(s), servant(s), or subcontractor(s), except if caused by any act(s) or omission(s) on the part of Tenant, its agent(s), contractor(s), employee(s), invitee(s), licensee(s), servant(s), subcontractor(s) or subtenant(s), or resulting from a breach of this Lease by Landlord. Landlord shall give Tenant immediate notice of any such happening causing injury to persons or property. C. At all times during the Lease Term, Tenant shall at its own expense keep in force adequate public liability insurance under the terms of a commercial general liability policy (occurrence coverage) in the amount of not less than $2,000,000.00 coverage and with such company(ies) licensed to do business in the State of North Carolina and naming Landlord as an additional insured. Such insurance shall include, without limitation, personal injury and contractual liability coverage for the performance by Tenant of the indemnity agreements set forth in this Lease. Tenant shall first furnish to Landlord copies of policies or certificates of insurance evidencing the required coverage prior to the Lease Commencement Date and thereafter prior to each policy renewal date. All policies required of Tenant hereunder shall contain a provision whereby the insurer is not allowed to cancel or change materially the coverage without first giving thirty (30) days' written notice to Landlord. 18. LANDLORD'S RIGHT OF ENTRY. Landlord, and those persons authorized by it, shall have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times with or without notice to Tenant, for the purposes of making repairs, making connections, installing utilities, providing services to the Premises, making inspections or showing the same to prospective purchasers and/or lenders, as 11 Board of Commissioners - June 20, 2022 ITEM: 17- 3 - 12 well as at any time in the event of emergency involving possible injury to property or persons in or around the Premises. 19. EMINENT DOMAIN. If any substantial portion of the Premises is taken under the power of eminent domain (including any conveyance made in lieu thereof) or if such taking shall materially impair the normal operation of Tenant's business (other than on a temporary basis), then either party shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving written notice of such termination within thirty (30) days after notice of such taking. If neither party elects to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall repair and restore the Premises to the best possible tenantable condition and the Rent shall be proportionately and equitably reduced. All compensation awarded for any taking (or the proceeds of a private sale in lieu thereof) shall be the property of Landlord whether such award is for compensation for damages to Landlord's or Tenant's interest in the Premises, and Tenant hereby assigns all of its interest in any such award to Landlord; provided, however, Landlord shall not have any interest in any separate award made to Tenant for loss of business, moving expense or the taking of Tenant's trade fixtures or equipment if a separate award for such items is made to Tenant and if such separate award does not reduce the award to Landlord. 20. EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES. A. Upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events (the "Events of Default," and any one an "Event of Default"), the party not in default shall have the right to exercise any rights or remedies available in this Lease, at law or in equity. Events of Default shall be: i. Tenant's failure to pay when due any Rent or other sum of money payable hereunder and such failure is not cured within ten (10) days after written notice thereof has been given, provided that Tenant shall be entitled to notice of failure to pay no more than twice in a twelve (12) month period; ii. Landlord's failure to pay Tenant any sum to be paid by Landlord to Tenant in accordance with the terms of this Lease and such failure shall continue for a period of ten (10) days after written notice from Tenant of such failure by Landlord to pay is received by Landlord; or iii. Failure by either party to perform any other of the terms, covenants or conditions contained in this Lease if not remedied within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice thereof, or if such default cannot be remedied within such period, such party does not, within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof, commence such act or acts as shall be necessary to remedy the default and shall not thereafter complete such act or acts within sixty (60) days after notice; iv. Tenant shall become bankrupt or insolvent, or file any debtor proceedings, or file pursuant to any statute a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization, or file a petition for the appointment of a receiver or trustee for all or substantially all of Tenant's assets and such petition or appointment shall not have been set aside within sixty (60) days from the date of such petition or appointment, or if Tenant makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or petitions for or enters into an arrangement; and/or 12 Board of Commissioners - June 20, 2022 ITEM: 17- 3 - 13 V. Tenant allows its leasehold estate to be taken under any writ of execution and such writ is not vacated or set aside within thirty (30) days. B. Landlord's Remedies. Landlord, upon an Event of Default by Tenant, shall have the immediate right, after any applicable notice and cure period expressed herein, to terminate and cancel this Lease and/or to reenter and remove all persons and properties from the Premises and dispose of such property as it deems fit, all without being guilty of trespass or being liable for any damages caused thereby. If Landlord reenters the Premises, it may either terminate this Lease or, from time to time without terminating this Lease, make such alterations and repairs as may be necessary or appropriate to relet the Premises and relet the Premises upon such terms and conditions as Landlord deems advisable without any responsibility on Landlord whatsoever to account to Tenant for any surplus rents collected. No retaking of possession of the Premises by Landlord shall be deemed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given by Landlord to Tenant at the time of reentry; but, notwithstanding any such reentry or reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate for such previous default. In the event of an elected termination by Landlord, whether before or after reentry, Landlord may recover from Tenant damages, including the costs of recovering the Premises, and Landlord may exercise one or more of the following remedies: (i) continue to collect the total Rent as would have been payable by Tenant hereunder for the remainder of the Lease Term less the rentals actually received from any reletting or, at Landlord's election, less the reasonable rental value of the Premises for the remainder of the Lease Term and Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord for the same; or (ii) accelerate the whole or any part of the Rent for the balance of the Term and declare all such unpaid installments of Rent for the remainder of the Term at once due and payable, whereupon this entire amount (discounted at the present value, less the fair rental value for similar use of the Premises for the remainder of the Term, similarly discounted at the present value, in each case using a discount rate equal to six percent (6%) per annum, as reasonably determined by Landlord) shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days notice by Landlord to Tenant of such election. Landlord shall have the right to recover damages from Tenant, including the cost of recovering the Premises, but expressly excluding any special, consequential or punitive damages. In determining the Rent which would be payable by Tenant subsequent to default, the Rent for each Lease Year of the unexpired Lease Term shall be equal to the Rent payable by Tenant for the last Lease Year prior to the default. If any Rent owing under this Lease is collected by or through an attorney, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord's reasonable attorneys' fees to the extent allowed by applicable law. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord shall at all times use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages in the event of any default by Tenant. C. Tenant's Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default by Landlord, Tenant shall have the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies without any further notice or demand whatsoever: i. To perform any of the covenants or obligations of Landlord under the terms of this Lease following written notice thereof to Landlord and Landlord's failure to perform, and to bill the reasonable costs thereof to Landlord and Landlord shall pay the same within ten (10) days after receipt of such invoice. If Landlord shall fail to pay the amount of such invoice to Tenant 13 Board of Commissioners - June 20, 2022 ITEM: 17- 3 - 14 within ten (10) days after Landlord's receipt of the same, Tenant may deduct the reasonable cost therefor from Fixed Minimum Rent by deducting twenty-five percent (25%) of each monthly payment of Fixed Minimum Rent until such time as all cost has been fully reimbursed. ii. To pursue any and all legal or equitable remedies against Landlord, including, but not limited to, the recovery of money damages (but not any special, consequential or punitive damages), injunctive relief and specific performance. iii. Any notice of Landlord's default shall be delivered to Landlord and to any mortgagee of Landlord, to the extent Landlord has provided the name and notice address of such mortgagee to Tenant. iv. If Landlord has failed to perform any terms, covenants or conditions contained in this Lease, a mortgagee of Landlord's interest in the Lease shall have the right, at its sole election, to exercise any cure rights of Landlord, and the performance thereof by such mortgagee shall have the same effect as if undertaken by Landlord. 21. SUBORDINATION. This Lease is subject and subordinate to any and all mortgages or deeds of trust now or hereafter placed on the property of which the Premises are a part, and this clause shall be self -operative without any further instrument necessary to effect such subordination; however, if requested by Landlord, Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver to Landlord any such certificate(s) as Landlord may reasonably request evidencing subordination of this Lease to or the assignment of this Lease as additional security for such mortgages or deeds of trust. Provided, however, in each case the holder of the mortgage or deed of trust shall agree that this Lease shall not be divested by foreclosure or other default proceedings thereunder so long as Tenant shall not be in default under the terms of this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period set forth herein. Tenant shall continue its obligations under this Lease in full force and effect notwithstanding any such default proceedings under a mortgage or deed of trust and shall attorn to the mortgagee, trustee or beneficiary of such mortgage or deed of trust, and their successors or assigns, and to the transferee under any foreclosure or default proceedings, provided that such mortgagee, trustee or beneficiary agrees not to disturb Tenant's possession and use of the Premises. Tenant will, upon request by Landlord, execute and deliver to Landlord or to any other person designated by Landlord, any reasonable instrument or instruments required to give effect to the provisions of this Section 21. 22. ASSIGNING AND SUBLETTING. Tenant shall not assign, transfer, mortgage or pledge this Lease or sublease (which term shall be deemed to include the granting of concessions and licenses and the like) all or any part of the Premises without first obtaining on each occasion the written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided however, that Landlord shall not be deemed to be acting unreasonably for withholding its consent for reasons related to the financial status of a transferee, the credit history of the transferee, the reputation and credibility of the transferee, or other bona fide concerns of Landlord articulated to Tenant in writing or suffer or permit this Lease or the leasehold estate hereby created or any other rights arising under this Lease to be assigned, transferred or encumbered, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law, or permit the occupancy of the Premises by anyone other than Tenant. Any attempted assignment, 14 Board of Commissioners - June 20, 2022 ITEM: 17- 3 - 15 transfer, mortgage, pledge, sublease or other encumbrance shall not affect the continuing primary liability of Tenant and no consent to any of the foregoing in a specific instance shall operate as a waiver in any subsequent instance. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of the term of any proposed assignment or sublease and, in the case of a sublease, the area proposed to be sublet. In the event Landlord consents to any assignment of this Lease or subletting of the Premises, then Landlord shall be entitled to receive as Additional Rent any sums in excess of the rentals required to be paid by Tenant hereunder which are payable by such assignee or subtenant, directly or indirectly, to Tenant relating to such subletting or assignment; provided, however, in calculating the amount of such additional rental to be paid to Landlord, Tenant shall be permitted to deduct therefrom any leasing commissions actually paid by Tenant and the reasonable costs of any re- upfitting of the Premises, all as evidenced by supporting invoices. 23. TRANSFER OF LANDLORD'S INTEREST. If Landlord shall sell, assign or transfer all or any part of its interest in the Premises or in this Lease to a successor in interest which expressly assumes the obligations of Landlord hereunder, then Landlord shall thereupon be released or discharged from all covenants and obligations hereunder, and Tenant shall look solely to such successor in interest for performance of all of Landlord's obligations. Tenant's obligations under this Lease shall in no manner be affected by Landlord's sale, assignment, or transfer of all or any part of such interest(s) of Landlord, and Tenant shall thereafter attorn and look solely to such successor in interest as Landlord hereunder. 24. COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT. Landlord agrees that Tenant shall peacefully and quietly hold and enjoy the Premises for the full Lease Term hereof so long as Tenant does not default in the performance of any of the terms hereof beyond any applicable notice and cure period. 25. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Within twenty (20) days after a request by Landlord, Tenant shall deliver a written estoppel certificate, in form supplied by or acceptable to Landlord, certifying any facts that are then true with respect to this Lease, including without limitation that this Lease is in full force and effect, that no default exists on the part of Landlord or Tenant, that Tenant is in possession, that Tenant has commenced the payment of Rent, and that Tenant claims no defenses or offsets with respect to payment of rentals under this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that any such certificate may be relied upon by any mortgagee or prospective purchaser of the Premises or any interest therein. Likewise, within twenty (20) days after a request by Tenant, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a similar estoppel certificate covering such matters as are reasonably required by Tenant. 26. PROTECTION AGAINST LIENS. Tenant shall do all things necessary to prevent the filing of any mechanics', materialmen's or other types of liens whatsoever, against all or any part of the Premises by reason of any claims made by, against, through or under Tenant. If any such lien is filed against the Premises, Tenant shall either cause the same to be discharged of record within thirty (30) days after filing or, if Tenant in its discretion and in good faith determines that such lien should be contested, it shall furnish such security as may be necessary to prevent any foreclosure proceedings against the Premises during the pendency of such contest. If Tenant shall fail to discharge such lien within said time period or fail to furnish such security, then Landlord may at its election, in addition to any other right or remedy available to it, discharge the lien by paying the amount claimed to be due or by procuring the discharge by giving security or in such 15 Board of Commissioners - June 20, 2022 ITEM: 17- 3 - 16 other manner as may be allowed by law. If Landlord acts to discharge or secure the lien, then Tenant shall immediately reimburse Landlord for all sums paid and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by Landlord involving such lien together with interest on the total expenses and costs at the maximum lawful rate. 27. MEMORANDUM OF LEASE. Landlord and Tenant shall execute a recordable Memorandum of Lease, specifying the exact term of this Lease and such other terms as the parties shall mutually agree. Absent Landlord's prior written consent, the Memorandum of Lease shall not be recorded until the Rent Commencement Date has been determined by Landlord and Tenant. Upon the earlier of the expiration of the Lease Term, or any earlier undisputed termination of the Lease Term, the Memorandum of Lease shall automatically terminate. Landlord shall have the right to record a confirmation of termination date without the need for the joinder of Tenant to confirm the date of termination of the Lease provided that such termination is not then in dispute. 28. FORCE MAJEURE. In the event Landlord or Tenant shall be delayed, hindered or prevented from the performance of any act required hereunder, by reason of governmental restrictions, scarcity of labor or materials, strikes, fire, acts of terrorism, hurricane or other act of God (which shall specifically include any circumstance for which the State of North Carolina or any local jurisdiction declares a state of emergency), pandemic or other public health emergency or any other reasons beyond its reasonable control ("Force Majeure Events"), the performance of such act shall be excused for the period of delay, and the period for performance of any such act shall be extended as necessary to complete performance after the delay period. However, the provisions of this Section 28 shall in no way be applicable to Tenant's obligations to pay Rent or any other sums, monies, costs, charges or expenses required by this Lease. 29. SIGNAGE. Tenant will be allowed to place the maximum amount of signage allowed by local jurisdiction and municipality on the exterior of the Building. Tenant will also be allowed to: erect its own monument sign on the Land if allowed by local jurisdiction and municipality, and install the necessary interior signage throughout the Premises, including but not limited to, directory signs and signage outside of each suite. All signage will be at Tenant's expense. 30. USA PATRIOT ACT AND ANTI -TERRORISM LAWS. Landlord and Tenant each represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the other party that (i) neither Landlord or Tenant, as applicable, nor any of its owners or affiliates currently are, or shall be at any time during the Lease Term, in violation of any laws relating to terrorism or money laundering (collectively, the "Anti -Terrorism Laws"), including, without limitation, Executive Order No. 13224 on Terrorist Financing, effective September 24, 2001, and regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") related to Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons ("SDN") ("OFAC Regulations"), and/or the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56) (the "USA Patriot Act"); (ii) neither Landlord or Tenant, as applicable, nor any of its owners, affiliates, investors, officers, directors, employees, vendors, subcontractors or agents is or shall be during the Lease Term a "Prohibited Person," which is defined as follows: (1) a person or entity owned or controlled by, affiliated with, or acting for or on behalf of, any person or entity that is identified as an SDN on the then -most current list published by OFAC at its official website or at any replacement website or other replacement official publication of such list, and (2) a person 16 Board of Commissioners - June 20, 2022 ITEM: 17- 3 - 17 or entity who is identified as or affiliated with a person or entity designated as a terrorist, or associated with terrorism or money laundering pursuant to regulations promulgated in connection with the USA Patriot Act; and (iii) Tenant has taken appropriate steps to understand its legal obligations under the Anti -Terrorism Laws and has implemented appropriate procedures to assure its continued compliance with such laws. At any time and from time -to -time during the Lease Term, Landlord or Tenant, as applicable, shall deliver to Landlord, within ten (10) days after receipt of a written request therefor, a written certification or such other evidence reasonably acceptable to the requesting parry evidencing and confirming such other party's compliance with this Section. 31. SECURITY MEASURES. Tenant acknowledges that: (a) the Fixed Minimum Rent does not include the cost of any security measures for any portion of the Premises, (b) Landlord has no obligation to provide any security measures, (c) Landlord has made no representation regarding the safety or security of the Premises, and (d) Tenant will be solely responsible for providing any security it deems necessary to protect itself, its property, and its invitees in, on, or about the Premises. Tenant assumes all responsibility for Tenant's security, safety, property, and invitees. Tenant releases Landlord from all claims for damage, loss, or injury to Tenant, its invitees, and/or to the personal property of Tenant and/or its invitees, except if such damage, loss, or injury is caused by or results from the criminal or negligent acts on the part of Landlord, its agent(s), contractor(s), employee(s), invitee(s), licensee(s), servant(s), subcontractor(s). 32. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE -- NONWAIVER. Unless otherwise specified in this Lease, no remedy of Landlord or Tenant shall be considered exclusive of any other remedy, but each shall be distinct, separate, and cumulative with other available remedies. Each remedy available under this Lease or at law or in equity may be exercised by Landlord or Tenant from time to time as often as the need may arise. No course of dealing between Landlord and Tenant or any delay or omission of Landlord or Tenant in exercising any right arising from the other party's default shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of a default. 33. HOLDING OVER. If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises or any part thereof after the expiration of the Lease Term, whether with or without Landlord's acquiescence, Tenant shall be deemed only a tenant at will and there shall be no renewal of this Lease without a written agreement signed by both parties specifying such renewal. The "monthly" rental payable by Tenant during any such tenancy at will period shall be one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the monthly installments of Fixed Minimum Rent payable during the final year immediately preceding such expiration. 34. NOTICES. All notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted under this Lease shall be in writing, signed by the party giving such notice and transmitted by personal delivery, reputable express courier, and shall be deemed given when received if it is given by personal delivery or reputable express courier, by the parties at the United States addresses set forth in the Fundamental Lease Provisions (or at such other domestic address for a party as will be specified by like notice). Such addresses may be changed from time to time by either party by serving notice as above provided. 17 Board of Commissioners - June 20, 2022 ITEM: 17- 3 - 18 35. BROKERS. Landlord and Tenant represent and warrant each to the other that they have not dealt with any broker(s) or any other person claiming any entitlement to any commission in connection with this transaction other than the brokers identified and described in the Fundamental Lease Provisions. Each party shall be solely responsible for the payment of any commissions or fees owed to their respective broker(s), if any. Landlord and Tenant agree to indemnify and save each other harmless from and against any and all claims, suits, liabilities, costs, judgments and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, for any leasing commissions or other commissions, fees, charges or payments resulting from or arising out of their respective actions in connection with this Lease. 36. NON -LIABILITY OF LANDLORD. If Landlord shall fail to perform any covenant, term or condition of this Lease beyond any notice and cure period, Tenant shall be entitled to bring a lawsuit against Landlord and seek a money judgment against Landlord, provided that any judgment shall not include any claims for punitive, special or consequential damages. Any judgment obtained by Tenant against Landlord shall be satisfied only out of the proceeds of any sale received upon execution of such judgment and levy thereon against the right, title and interest of Landlord in the Premises. Landlord shall not be liable for any deficiency. Tenant shall have no right to levy execution of such judgment against any property of Landlord other than its interest in the Premises. 37. MISCELLANEOUS. A. Accord and Satisfaction. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than any installment or payment of Rent due shall be deemed to be other than on account of the amount due and no endorsement or statement on any check or payment of Rent shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction. B. Attomey's Fees. If any action is taken to enforce any provision of this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorneys' fees and all costs incurred in such enforcement. C. Trial by JuU. The parties hereto shall and they hereby do waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the parties hereto against the other on any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, Tenant's use of occupancy of the Premises, and/or any claim of injury or damage. In the event Landlord commences any proceedings for non-payment of any rent, Tenant will not interpose any counterclaim of whatever nature or description in any such proceedings, except for compulsory counterclaims. This shall not, however, be construed as a waiver of Tenant's right to assert such claims in any separate action or actions brought by Tenant. D. Authority. Each of the persons executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant does hereby covenant and warrant that Tenant is a duly authorized and existing nonprofit corporation, that Tenant has and is qualified to do business in the State where the Premises are located, that Tenant has full right and authority to enter into this Lease and that each and all of the persons signing on behalf of Tenant were authorized to do so. Upon Landlord's request, Tenant shall 18 Board of Commissioners - June 20, 2022 ITEM: 17- 3 - 19 provide Landlord with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord regarding the foregoing representations.

Furthermore, the parties agree that (i) this Lease may be transmitted between them by electronic mail, (ii) this Lease may be executed by electronic mail signatures, and (iii) electronic mail signatures shall have the effect of original signatures relative to this Lease. F. Cumulative Remedies. All remedies of Landlord and Tenant created under this Lease or remedies otherwise existing at law or in equity are cumulative, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies shall not be taken to exclude or waive the right to the exercise of any other. G. Entire Agreement. This Lease represents the entire agreement between the parties and all prior and contemporaneous discussions and documents are superseded by this Lease. Any statement or representation not contained herein shall not be binding on either party. All subsequent amendments hereto must be in writing and signed by the parties hereto. H. Governing Law. This Lease shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws. I. Invalidity.

TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE IN EACH AND EVERY PROVISION REGARDING TENANT'S AND LANDLORD'S PERFORMANCE UNDER THIS LEASE. L. Identity of Interests.

Staff then coordinated with the adjacent property owner and NC Wildlife Resources Commission (WRC) staff to investigate whether navigational hazards which would qualify for such an action currently exist on this portion of Bradley Creek. North Carolina General Statute §75A-15 authorizes the WRC to establish water safety rules solely in the interest of mitigating water safety hazards. By NCGS §75A-15(b), applications for water safety rulemaking must be submitted by the county or municipality with jurisdiction over their waters. No -wake zones may be established in public trust waters only to mitigate hazards to boating safety. Hazards to boating safety may include known navigational hazards; narrow shallow waters; areas of obstructed vision; structures in the area such as dams, spillways, flood control structures, trestles and power lines, and fueling docks; designated recreational or marked swimming areas; congested areas with high traffic; a history of accidents, and public vessel access areas. The process for establishing or altering a no -wake zone consists of an initial investigation of the study area to determine whether statutory authority may exist for the establishment of a no -wake zone. I n February 2022, this study was completed by WRC and concluded that navigational hazards exist on this portion of the creek which include a narrow channel, shallow water, boat incidents, multiple citations, and high traffic. Subsequent to the investigation, the local unit of government may agree to proceed with an application for rulemaking. Upon receipt of the application, the state No Wake Zone Coordinator will initiate a review of any fiscal impact of any Administrative Rule with the Office of State Budget and Management, followed by consideration of the application for rulemaking and fiscal note review by the WRC Board. Application to the WRC for consideration of rulemaking consists of the following: 1. A statement that public notice was given of the intention to make application to the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission for the rule that is being proposed; 2. A resolution from the governmental unit requesting rulemaking for the waters named in the application; 3. Statement that the local unit of government or a designee agrees to purchase and place markers that conform to U.S. Aids to Navigation (USATONS) standards to implement a rule. The WRC requires that public notice of the intent to apply for rulemaking be given prior to filing an application, and staff has elected to hold a public hearing for this item as this is the common practice statewide. Should WRC approve Board of Commissioners - June 20, 2022 ITEM: 18 the request for rulemaking, the adopted rule is sent to the Rules Review Commission (RRC) for consideration of the rule at their next meeting. Upon approval by the RRC, the rule will them become effective and be codified in the North Carolina Administrative Code. Staff is requesting the board hold a public hearing and consider adopting the attached resolution approving the submission of an application to WRC to consider rulemaking for the extension of the current no -wake zone. Currently, the existing no -wake zone begins at the Oleander Drive bridge, and extends eastward approximately 1,000 feet. The proposed no -wake zone will extend further eastward for approximately 3,225 feet toward the Intracoastal Waterway to channel marker 8, as shown on the attached exhibit. It has been the practice of county staff to submit a formal application for rulemaking regarding no -wake zones to WRC when qualifying navigational hazards are found by WRC. Staff's recommendation is that the county incur the costs for purchase and placement of new buoys, anchor blocks, and cables to identify the extent of the no -wake zone because WRC has identified multiple navigational hazards which affect multiple properties and boaters. It is anticipated that three (3) buoys purchased directly from WRC and placed along the extended channel will total approximately $450.00. WRC will assist with placement of these buoys and will take over maintenance and ownership once installed. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: • Superior Public Health & Safety o Sustain the community capacity to prepare for and respond to public safety demands ■ Reduce or prevent community risks RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Conduct the public hearing, adopt the resolution authorizing staff to file application for rulemaking with NCWRC, and authorize payment of the required buoys.

YES: ❑■ NO: ❑ • Justification: This is a narrow channel with a heavy amount of boat traffic (during the boating season) coming from Bradley Creek Marina and the Intra-coastal Waterway. There is currently a no wake zone located at Bradley Creek Marina at the farthest point in the back of the creek. Bradley Creek Marina is also in the process of being expanded and this will also add more boat traffic to this channel. This proposed no wake zone will be an extension of the no wake zone currently in place and will slow traffic down in a very busy and congested area. There have been several boating incidents in this channel as well as several boating while impaired and carless & reckless boating violations/charges. The waters average depth in the center of the channel is approximately 7 feet deep at mid to high tide. The channel is very narrow and the water depth immediately on the outside of the channel is approximately 2 feet and reduces to a mud flat very quickly. This restricts navigating a vessel to stay within the channel causing vessels to pass very closely in a busy cove. Operators not having the ability to discern the changes in depth can create extremely dangerous boat operations especially at night when operated at higher speeds. nff,Pr• Clayton Ludwick Sergeant Date: 2/17/2022 Date: 2/23/2022 7 Board of Commissioners - June 20, 2022 ITEM: 18- 5 - 7 NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION MEETING DATE:6/20/2022 Regular DEPARTMENT: Governing Body PRESENTER(S): Chair Olson-Boseman CONTACT(S): Kym Crowell, Clerk to the Board SU BJ ECT: Appointment of Voting Delegate to the NACo 2022 Annual Conference BRIEF SUMMARY: The National Association of Counties' (NACo) Annual Conference business meeting will be held on Sunday, July 24, 2022, tentatively at 9:30 a.m. A designated voting delegate must be appointed and submitted to NACo by Monday, J my 18, 2022 in order for the delegate to participate in training webinars and practice ballots prior to the annual business meeting.

I graduated from Goldsboro High School in 1976. 1 was accepted at Chapel Hill. I won a full in -state scholarship from the Firestone Corporation. It was the largest awarded in my class. But i knew I was not mentally ready for a full University. In my 2 years at Wayne Community College, my lowest grade was 1 B. At the 1978 Commencement I delivered the invocation and benediction, (no Valedictorian awarded). The Community College system is where the rubber meets the road. Our son is a graduate of CFCC.

Our medical related programs are without peer. The vocational programs do now ans will help establish a strong workforce for our growing Economy. I earned my Associates Degree in College transfer. I graduated from UNCW with a BSBA in 1980 and an MBA in 1988. The current opportunity for Community College students to achieve two years at a very reasonable cost and then be accepted at a four year University is a tremendous opportunity. Though Mount Olive College is a four year University, they provide typically education for "second chance" students seeking to redirect their careers. CFCC serves a similar role. I have taught Economics there for a decade. I am an Educator. My Financial Career as well as my non-profit, and past political experience give me a broadly unique perspective.

My wife and I have always believed in giving back to the communities in which we have lived. I want to use my technical and financial background to contribute to the betterment of the New Hanover County community. Prior to my retirement in December , 2018, 1 spent more than 50 years as a consultant to local, state and federal governments. Much of my experience has been with the planning and design of new water and wastewater systems as well as the evaluation and rehabilitation of existing systems. This has also included assisting with the preparation of applications for state and federal grants. While I am sure CFPUA staff have this expertise, it should also be beneficial to have this additional expertise as part of this Board. What areas of concern would you like to see addressed by this committee? I do not have the detailed knowledge of the Authorities operations, but I do know that water quality is a concern of all of us in this area of the state.

I come from a state, NJ, which has private liquor stores, so that I can provide a different perspective to New Hanover County ABC Sores. Also I am from a field that is not directly related to alcohol, so that I can again provide a unique perspective to the Committee. I feel that alcohol, especially in this age of COVID and social isolation, plays an important part in people's lives. I feel my life experience would provide a different perspective to New Hanover County ABC Board and would welcome the opportunity to help serve New Hanover County residents. What areas of concern would you like to see addressed by this committee? 1. 1 would like to see a greater variety of different brands of alcoholic beverages, in order to provide more variety for consumers. 2. 1 would like to support local North Carolina Distilleries and have more local products for sale. 3. 1 recommend trying to streamline the checkout procedure if possible. 4. 1 would like to try to see if liquor prices could be made lower, but look for other cost savings, so that profits would be the same. I think that New Hanover County loses a large volume of liquor sales to South Carolina, as New Hanover County residents often drive to Myrtle Beach where alcoholic beverages are lower in cost. Qualifications for serving: As a retired physician who practiced for 33 years, I am used to dealing with patients, who one could consider as consumers, as well as my office staff, which would be analogous to the ABC Store employees. Additionally, I was elected Chairman of the Department of Medicine at Somerset Medical Center, by my peers for four years. I was responsible for managing a 200 physician department. Therefore, I feel that I have expertise and background useful to the ABC Board.

Occupation Lawyer Professional Activities See attached resume. Volunteer Activities See attached resume. Why do you wish to serve on this board or committee? The New Hanover County ABC'Board has an extremely important role in our local community. It ensures the orderly sale of alcoholic beverages to our citizens and tourists, including maintaining good customer service. This results in substantial revenue that can be returned to our local governments and law enforcement. Simultaneously, it needs to ensure that such alcohol sales are legal and properly controlled, and support those efforts with law enforcement. The New Hanover County ABC Board also has excellent employees, and ensuring they are properly supported and trained also is important. All of these are extremely important efforts, and I would welcome the chance to be a partner in these efforts as a board member. I grew up in New Hanover County (graduated from Laney High School in 2001) and returned to our community in 2011 following law school. I have been involved with nonprofits and other government boards since returning, and believe this board would be a good fit. I also spent some time studying North Carolina's unique alcoholic beverage control/retail system when I was earning my masters degree in public policy at Duke University, and also working at the General Assembly. What areas of concern would you like to see addressed by this committee? I would like to ensure the Board continues to return necessary funds to our local governments while supporting law enforcement, and promoting excellent customer service in balance with appropriate control/oversight of alcohol sales and distribution. Qualifications for serving: I grew up in New Hanover County and then returned in 2011. While away, I attended UNC-Chapel Hill then taught high school math for two years through the Teach For America program. I then earned a Master in Public Policy degree from Duke University and my law degree from UNC-Chapel-Hill. Since returning to New Hanover County, I have maintained an active law practice. I also have served on several nonprofit and government boards (see attached resume) and have otherwise been very involved in the community.

I believe I can add value to the Airport Authority with over 40 years of experience in the business community of Wilmington. The airport has an important role in the ongoing development of Wilmington and I think my experience in managing staffing, facilities, and offering services in my business would transfer well to the those same areas at the airport. What areas of concern would you like to see addressed by this committee? I think keeping Wilmington competitive with regards to other airports is a main focus. Keeping travelers flying from ILM as opposed to driving out of town, as I have done myself at times. Also helping to entice other airlines to come here and encourage those already here to offer good service and expand their service of possible.

Gender Male Race Caucasian Age 58 Do you have a family member employed by New Hanover County? No 1 Board of Commissioners - June 20, 2022 ITEM: 20- 6 - 7 Applicant's Employer Self-employed Occupation Consultant Professional Activities I retired from the Wilmington Fire Department in January 2020 as an assistant fire chief and served in various roles with the department, including fire marshal, chief of operations, and chief of support services. I was chairman of the New Hanover County Public Safety Communication Board (911 Center) for several years. I am a lifetime member of the North Carolina Association of Fire Chief and a Chief Fire Officer through the Center for Public Safety Excellence. I was previously the president of the North Carolina Fire Marshal's Association for two years. I speak nationally on community risk reduction and data's importance, and I recently co -instructed a class at the National Fire Academy in Emmitsburg, Maryland. Since my retirement, I have been working as a consultant for two different firms, primarily conducting the risk assessments for various types of reports such as a standard of cover, utilization studies, station locations, and master plans for fire departments. I also developed an Outcome Measures Guide for fire departments for Vision 20/20 (www.strategicfire.org) and serve as one of their technical advisors for community risk reduction. Volunteer Activities I am a lifetime member of the Optimist Club of Winter Park and initially joined in 1998 and served as secretary for five years. My wife and I were active with the softball program before our children were born and continued when our daughters played. I still enjoy selling Christmas trees each year at the park for the club. I have volunteered at the church we attend (Winter Park Baptist Church) by serving on several committees. I recently served on the buildings and grounds committee and spent many hours helping with repairs to the buildings after Hurricane Florence. The storm caused more than $750,000 in damage to the campus. I am currently volunteering with the Wilmington Fire Department and assisting them with fire code inspections to maintain my Level III Fire Inspector certification. Why do you wish to serve on this board or committee? Since my retirement, I have considered how to give back to our community and have always had a particular interest in the airport. When I worked for New Hanover County Fire Rescue as a fire inspector, I conducted the fire and life safety inspections for all of the buildings on airport property, including the FBO's and the terminal. As someone with a safety and planning background, I can bring a different perspective to the board. What areas of concern would you like to see addressed by this committee? The current renovation and expansion of the main terminal will provide enhanced service for those arriving or departing from the airport. Because I have a fire service and safety background, I would like to see the continued support of the airport's security and fire protection needs. The authority needs to ensure that the public safety team receives the proper training and equipment required during an emergency event. Continue to enhance the partnerships with New Hanover County Fire Rescue, New Hanover Regional EMS, New Hanover County Sheriffs Department, New Hanover County Emergency Management, and the Wilmington Fire and Police Departments. Without these organizations and other federal agencies' support, it will be challenging to protect the airport's customers. Qualifications for serving: As previously stated, I have a fire service background and have been a lifelong resident of Wilmington and New Hanover County except for two years in Greensboro while attending college. I received my Masters of Public Administration from the University of North Carolina Wilmington with a concentration in Urban and Regional Policy and Planning. While working for Wilmington, I assisted the planning department in developing a new comprehensive plan to guide future growth. I was a member of the technical review committee, which looked at all new site development in the city, such as fire protection, stormwater, traffic, utilities, and land development code. Each of these different areas has to work together when new development wants to build in the city. I believe this background will assist the airport as it moves forward with future commercial development on airport property.

Jones T 910.442.8740 E arjones@michaelbest.com It is my pleasure to submit this application for appointment as a member of the New Hanover County Airport Authority (the "Authority"). The Wilmington International Airport ("ILM") is the gateway to our community. As our region continues to attract new businesses, residents, and visitors, ILM will take a leading role. It would be a pleasure to add my experience in community leadership, track record of leading growing organizations, and a diverse perspective to the Authority as it navigates this exciting opportunity to lead our community to a more prosperous future. As a Wilmington native, I am driven to make an impact in our community. I currently serve as the Immediate Past Chair of Coastal Horizons Center, Inc., Chair of the Membership Committee of the United Way of the Cape Fear Area, Inc., and Vice -Chair for Membership of the Cape Fear Council, Boy Scouts of America. In addition to other community service, I previously served the County as a member of the Library Advisory Board and the Juvenile Crime Prevention Council. Through each of these experiences, I have had the pleasure to make a meaningful impact on the lives of the citizens of New Hanover County. In addition to a history of community leadership, I bring experience as an entrepreneur and business leader. Over the last several years, as President of Forrest Firm, I crafted and lead the implementation of a strategic plan to improve operational efficiencies and achieved sustainable, client -focused growth at the firm, resulting in a 26% increase in gross revenue driving an exponentially larger increase in net profit, all over a two-year period. This effort resulted in our firm's acquisition by a large, national law firm earlier this year — the first to enter the Wilmington market in decades. Finally, I believe my addition to the Authority would add a fresh perspective to the organization. I would be the only practicing attorney on the Authority. In addition, at thirty- four years old, I offer a perspective of the next generation of Wilmingtonians. In my opinion, this diverse perspective is critical to a well-rounded governing body. 5815 Oleander Dr, Suite 300 1 Wilmington, NC 28403 1 T 984.220.8750 1 F 877.398.5240 Board of Comt+i 9A0@9co tane 20, 2022 ITEM: 20- 6 - 24 Michael June 2, 2022 Page 2 The Authority is at an exciting growth point — with major opportunities on the horizon, such as terminal expansion, further development of the ILM business park, and the potential for additional carriers and flight offerings.

Gender Female Race Hispanic Age 41 Do you have a family member employed by New Hanover County? No Applicant's Employer Board of Commissioners - June 20, 2022 ITEM: 20- 6 - 29 Tidal Basin Government Consulting, LLC Occupation Consultant Professional Activities I current work with local, state, and federal governments, critical infrastructure, and airports to prepare them for emergencies and disasters. I am involved with airport and transportation associations, including the American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE) (former Vice -Chair for the Emergency Management Working Group) and the International Association of Emergency Managers (IAEM) as a member, certified emergency manager (CEM), and former co-chair of the Transportation Caucus. I work with airports across the country to help them establish preparedness programs, respond to emergencies, and recovery and mitigate from future disasters. I was also formerly the Emergency Manager for the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority in Washington, DC. managing the emergency management department for Washington Dulles International Airport, Washington Reagan National Airport, the Dulles Toll Road, and the Dulles International Airport Access Highway. I spent almost five years supporting our corporate offices (including marketing, finance, risk management, IT, etc.) and airports (operations, engineering and maintenance, administration, tenants, airlines, etc.) and reported directly to the Chief Operating Officer. Volunteer Activities Active with the International Association of Emergency Managers and recently stepped down as the co-chair of the Transportation Caucus, and active with the AAAE Emergency Management Working Group as the vice -chair to allow others to take leadership roles and move on to other volunteer activities. Why do you wish to serve on this board or committee? As a frequent flyer (weekly) through Wilmington International Airport (ILM) and a former Airports Authority employee I am excited to contribute my knowledge and experiences to help the Airports Authority grow ILM into a world -class airport. With the growth in the region, we need smart growth with our infrastructure. I believe that the experiences I have as a passenger, former Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority employee, and community member I can offer sound leadership, advice, and direction for growth. I understand the dynamics of an Airports Authority and the balance needed between serving passengers, smart growth, being a good steward of finances, assisting the tenants and airlines, and providing sound leadership for tough decisions. I grew up with a mother, who in the 1980s joined her local CA county transportation commission and committee for creation of a new city. That grew to serving as the first Hispanic woman on the newly formed city's council, and serving as a board member throughout the 90s in Orange County. I have been taught that giving back to one's community builds relationships, is hard work, and if done well, leads to overall better communities for all. I am also very interested in ensuring that the committee is keeping a close eye on how services of the Airports Authority serve all groups and populations through Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). What areas of concern would you like to see addressed by this committee? Near -term I would like to see the committee have open conversations about diversity, equity, and inclusion in services, staffing, and long-term growth. I would also like to ensure that the airport is prepared to respond to disasters and emergencies as well as mitigate any issues that are identified that will allow for a more resilient community. Qualifications for serving: I am a former airport employee and understand how board decisions affect the enterprise. I currently serve airport and critical infrastructure clients. I have an understanding of business and airport economics and finances and I also have perspective and experience that is different than current members that brings in various leadership skills, background, and knowledge. I have previously served on committees for industry associations and my condo community association (in Fairfax County, VA), giving me the necessary foundation to support the advisory committee. As a Vice President in my current role, I work to establish processes, guidance, and work within budget and resource constraints to ensure revenues and margins meet targets. Other municipal or county boards/committees on which you are serving: None.

And, working with the airport allows me to support an industry I truly love. I also expect to learn a tremendous amount from the other members and airport authority teams. Now is a very exciting time to help all of New Hanover County grow. I watched my county in CA (Orange County) grow from a small incorporated location to a bustling county with thriving cities. My mother demonstrated the value of serving one's community and what sound leadership can do. I hope to bring those same values to New Hanover County.

The Airport is a major catalyst for economic growth and opportunities in the Cape Fear region. I believe that the Airport Authority has the ability to shape the future of our region for the better; and I want to contribute my time, energy, expertise, and knowledge to further that goal. Having lived in Wilmington most of my life, I have special memories of going to the "old" Airport with my father who was a pilot, and I have also witnessed firsthand the immense growth and progress that has taken place at the Airport. I have seen over the years how our Airport has contributed to and, in some cases, detracted from our region's growth and progress. My goal would be that when my own children and other children are grown, they can look back like I am doing now, and will recognize that the Airport had only contributed to, and never detracted from the quality of life for our entire region. What areas of concern would you like to see addressed by this committee? With so many exciting developments that have recently been announced by the Airport, and with other opportunities surely on the horizon, the Board needs to continue to make smart decisions about the Airport's operations and the development of its campus, all with the goal of spurring growth and providing opportunities for the Cape Fear region. I still remember how many of my friends and contemporaries had to leave Wilmington after high school or college to move to a bigger city, because it seemed that the good jobs in our area were primarily only for doctors, lawyers, family business owners, or service industry workers. The decisions made by the Airport Authority have helped to change that, and now our region is welcoming so many new businesses and employers. I want to make sure that the Board continues to make decisions that create jobs and opportunities for all — so that no person ever feels forced to leave our area because of a lack of opportunities, and also so that no business ever decides against opening or relocating in our area because of a lack of transportation, infrastructure or leadership. Qualifications for serving: I was bom and raised in Wilmington and attended New Hanover High School before getting my bachelor's degree from Duke University and J.D. from UNC-Chapel Hill Law School. After law school, I joined Murchison, Taylor & Gibson, PLLC, which was established in 1955 and is one of Wilmington's oldest firms that is still active today. In 2010, 1 became the second female partner in the firm's history; and in 2018, 1 became the first female managing partner in our firm's history. I have served on several boards that promote the economic development of our region, and I have proven myself to be an effective lawyer and leader both within my firm and in the community, while also raising two children. As a commercial real estate attorney with 18 years of experience, I regularly assist clients with the acquisition, development, financing, subdivision, zoning, leasing, and sale of real property, and I represent companies and business of all sizes. I am highly skilled in drafting, reviewing, and negotiating all varieties of contracts, leases, and other real estate and corporate documents. I have served as lead counsel in real estate and corporate transactions ranging from $1,000,000 to $80,000,000. 1 have also been recognized as a North Carolina Super Lawyer® and a Business North Carolina Legal Elite® for many years. Board of Commissioners - June 20, 2022 ITEM: 20- 6 - 48 As a member of the Airport Authority Board, I will utilize my professional experience, my legal expertise, my proven leadership skills, and my personal pride for and loyalty to the Cape Fear region in order to help the Board analyze, plan, navigate, and implement all of the decisions and opportunities that will have a significant impact on our region.

ILM has served Southeastern NC well. The recent growth of the facility itself addresses future growth. I want to ensure that future growth is not only viable but profitable.

It took several years to fully lease the flex space. What areas of concern would you like to see addressed by this committee? The future of ILM runs parallel with SE NC. The Airport Authority Board's mandate is to be proactive regarding additional flights and expansion of services provided. Recently the economic impact was stated to be $1.6 billion.

I've lived in Wilmington for 5 years and I want to become more involved in the community on a regular basis. I'm interested in this committee because I love parks! I go to a New Hanover park almost every day with my dog. I really enjoy the city's park system, and I also have ideas for improvement as well. What areas of concern would you like to see addressed by this committee? I'd like Maides Park to have more than just one entry point. It would be great if a small bridge could be built from the park over the stream to the neighborhood. I'd also love for there to be more bike trails that connect the parks. Empie Park is on the cross city trail, but none of the other parks are. I'd love the trail to connect to Greenfield Lake, Maides, Long Leaf, etc. I also have ideas for where there could be some new parks. It would be amazing to turn the area behind Target, with the retention ponds, into a park. I always see so many beautiful cranes and other wildlife there, and would love to have a path that goes around the pond that people can enjoy. There are also a lot of apartments and houses in that area that don't have close access to a park. Qualifications for serving: I just love parks and have lots of ideas! I've also volunteered to help clean up the cemetery at Maides Park.
