Jordan Smith, NHC County Attorney and Ken Waldroup, Executive Attorney Director of CFPUA CONTACT(S): K. Jordan Smith SU BJI ECT: Approval of Change to the Cape Fear Public Utility Authority Articles of Incorporation BRIEF SUMMARY: At the Cape Fear Public Utility Authority (CFPUA) Board's regular meeting on February 12, 2025, the Board formally requested a change to the Articles of Incorporation. Currently, the Articles impose a limit on the number of consecutive three-year terms that appointees may serve on the Authority, and the Board has requested the removal of this limitation. Both the County and the City of Wilmington must approve the proposed change. The Wilmington City Council is expected to consider CFPUA's request at its March 18th meeting.

As you are aware, CFPUA is about to embark on the largest single project since its creation, the replacement and expansion of South Side Wastewater Treatment Plant (SSWWTP). This project is critically important for continued environmental stewardship and the orderly growth of the City and County. Current CFPUA Board members have significant institutional knowledge of and experience with CFPUA's operations and finances; knowledge critical to the successful implementation of the SSWWTP project. Over the next 5-10 years, the need for institutional stability is at odds with the limitations set forth in Sec. 3.2 of the Articles of Incorporation. CFPUA staff believe that our sponsoring agencies, New Hanover County and the City of Wilmington, should have as much flexibility as possible in the appointments process, so institutional stability may be properly considered in selection deliberations. Upon CFPUA's creation in 2007, the Articles of Incorporation included a term limitation for appointees to no more than three full consecutive terms (See, Sec. 3.2). Each term is for a three-year period. We are requesting that the Articles of Incorporation be amended as follows: 3.2 A proportionate number of the initial members of the Authority shall have terms expiring three years, two years and one year respectively from the date of issuance of the Certificate of Incorporation or Charter for the Authority by the North Carolina Secretary of State. After the initial terms each member of the Authority shall be appointed for a three-year term. No appointee shail: serve mere than three full eenseetitove terms. An appointee who serves three full: eanseetitive terms shall not be eiggibLe foF re appeintment to the Autherity for one year Under the Articles of Incorporation, any amendment must be made by the express agreement of both New Hanover County and the City of Wilmington. At the urging of staff, the CFPUA Board is asking the Board of Commissioners - March 24, 2025 ITEM: 4 - 1 - 1 County to remove the above language from Section 3.2 to enable the County and the City the freedom to reappoint CFPUA's Board members that would be otherwise term limited, if they so choose. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions or wish to discuss this further. I may be contacted at (910) 332-6669 or by email at kenneth.waldroup@cfpua.org. I look forward to working with you and the County to move forward with this endeavor. Sincerely, L h Waldroup Executive Director cc: Chris Coudriet, County Manager (ccoudriet@nhcgov.com) Jordan Smith, County Attorney (kjsmith@nhcgov.com) Executive Committee, Cape Fear Public Utility Authority Board of Commissioners - March 24, 2025 ITEM: 4 - 1 - 2 AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION CAPE FEAR PUBLIC UTILITY AUTHORITY The Articles of Incorporation of the Cape Fear Public Utility Authority adopted June 21, 2007 are hereby amended as follows: 1.

The first North Carolina BIMP was funded via House Bill 1840 (Session Law 2000-67), and the original plan was completed in 2009. The plan was led and coordinated by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality through the Division of Water Resources and the Division of Coastal Management with assistance from a professional consulting firm, Moffatt & Nichol. It included detailed technical data, provided socio-economic values, and explored funding mechanisms and strategies related to the management of the shoreline and inlets. In 2016, the BI MP was updated to incorporate new coastal and socioeconomic data, reflect policy changes since the original plan, and include beach nourishment and dredging activities and efforts. The updated BIMP also helped refine cost projections for the current and future management of the shorelines throughout the state. The North Carolina Beach, Inlet, and Waterway Association has asked its members to pass a resolution of support for the North Carolina General Assembly to fund an update to the BI MR With the current plan approaching ten years, an update is necessary to incorporate the many changes over the last several years, particularly as they relate to costs and policies when communicating the importance of effectively managing the state's shoreline infrastructure.

A highly decorated Marine Corps veteran, Major Capers demonstrated exceptional heroism during the Vietnam War, leading his Force Reconnaissance team through intense combat while sustaining life -threatening injuries.

Despite his own severe injuries, he refused to yield, maintaining command, orchestrating life-saving air and artillery strikes with pinpoint accuracy, and relentlessly engaging the enemy to ensure his fellow Marines' survival; and WHEREAS, despite suffering multiple life -threatening wounds, including severe shrapnel injuries and a broken leg, Major Capers continued leading counteroffensives, shielding his Marines, and ensuring their survival until the last of his men were evacuated; and WHEREAS, Major Capers' extraordinary valor was initially recognized with the Silver Star, but his actions on the battlefield far exceed the criteria for that distinction.

Number of Members: 5 plus 3 alternates Ex-Officio: Planning and Land Use Director Term of Office: 3 years Regular Meetings: Fourth Tuesday of every month at 5:30 p.m. in the Lucie F. Harrell Conference Room at the Government Center, 230 Government Center Drive, Wilmington, NC. Compensation: $20.00 per member per meeting plus auto mileage Statute or cause creating Board: N.C. General Statutes 160D-302 (as of 2019). The Commissioners increased board membership to 3 alternates on 11/21/94 (officially 4/1/96). The Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) requires members to be appointed from different areas within the County's zoning jurisdiction insofar as possible. Brief on Functions: In New Hanover County, the duties of the Board fall into two general categories: granting variances and hearing appeals. Granting of Variances: When unnecessary hardships would result from carrying out a strict application of the UDO, the Board of Adjustment has the authority to vary any of the provisions of the ordinance after holding a public hearing and determining that the greater weight of evidence and testimony demonstrates that four conclusions have been met supported by findings of fact: 1. Unnecessary hardship would result from the strict application of the ordinance. 2. The hardship results from conditions that are peculiar to the property, such as location, size, or topography. 3. The hardship did not result from actions taken by the applicant or the property owner. 4. The requested variance is consistent with the spirit, purpose, and intent of the ordinance, such that public safety is secured, and substantial justice is achieved. In summary, a variance is an approval enabling a property owner to make use of his property in some way which is in conflict with the literal provisions of the Ordinance. Hearing Appeals: The Board of Adjustment is also tasked with hearing and deciding on appeals where it is alleged by the appellant that there is error in a decision made by the planning director or Technical Review Committee (TRC) in administering or enforcing the LIDO.
