The grant provides for a stipend of $2.65 per hour and transportation expense for 34 low income senior volunteers who meet income eligibility requirements and are 55 years of age or older. Each volunteer is required to provide 20 hours of service weekly mentoring at risk children in New Hanover County. The Foster Grandparent volunteers work one -on -one with at risk children in pre- kindergarten, elementary, middle school and high school so that these at risk children succeed in school and have the necessary skills to be promoted to the next grade. They also mentor at risk youth in Girls, Inc., Brigade Boys and Girls Club and the Kelly House. The Foster Grandparent volunteers provide 35,496 hours of service to New Hanover County youth annually at a value of $718,794. The Foster Grandparent Program also helps to improve the quality of life for the Foster Grandparent volunteers. Ninety -eight percent of all children tutored by Foster Grandparents show marked improvement in their reading skills and ninety -seven percent of these children are promoted to the next grade. If it wasn't for the Foster Grandparent Program the children mentored by the Foster Grandparent volunteers would not receive the extra special attention they need to succeed. The Corporation for National and Community Service grant is available in the amount of $159,055 per year with renewal up to three years from July 2010 -June 2013. The County match is $22,770.

Shell, County Manager SUBJECT: Recognition of North Carolina Association of County Commissioners (NCACC) Outstanding Program Award BRIEF SUMMARY: The Cape Fear Youth Ambassadors won the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners "Outstanding Program Award." It is a rare award that is given to counties for outstanding programs that have made an impact to change their communities. The Ambassadors Program clearly shows a collaborative effort to help alleviate some of the problems within Brunswick, Columbus, New Hanover, and Pender counties by establishing a partnership with the Cape Fear Workforce Development Board Youth Council and New Hanover County Blue Ribbon Commission on the Prevention of Youth Violence to help fill in the gaps of services for young adults ages 16 -24. The Cape Fear Youth Ambassadors program is set apart from other youth programs because it is the only program in the four county area that addresses education, life skills, workforce development, youth development, community service and issue awareness, and civic duty. The program gives youth ambassadors the opportunity to change their communities by making recommendations to their local politicians and public officials. New Hanover County congratulates our Youth Ambassadors for their work and service in our community. The award was presented at the Annual COG Banquet on March 30th. Tufanna L. Thomas and Lashauna Parker will attend the meeting to be recognized, along with members of the Youth Ambassadors.

The purpose of the Cape Fear Youth Ambassadors' program is to serve as a catalyst for creating a youth system for all youth and to allow young men and women to use their skills and expertise to actively contribute to Youth Initiatives to provide a vital service to their community. Youth between the ages of 16 -24 from Brunswick, Columbus, New Hanover and Pender counties are recruited, selected, and appointed to serve as Ambassadors. The Cape Fear Workforce Development Board and Youth Council serves a four county area of southeastern North Carolina, which includes mostly rural Brunswick, Columbus and Pender Counties as well as New Hanover County, the urban hub of the Cape Fear area. There are several challenges in the four county regions that affect young adults' ability to be key drivers in North Carolina's economy. Some of the challenges affecting young adults 16 -24 in the Cape Fear region include: socioeconomic status, graduation/dropout rate and delinquent /violent behaviors. There are opportunities in education and workforce development for young adults through the Cape Fear Workforce Development Board Youth Council, local JobLink Career Centers and Community Colleges; however, there are very few programs that empower and encourage young adults and offer leadership and community service opportunities. Based on all of the above, the Cape Fear Workforce Development Board Youth Council and the New Hanover County Blue Ribbon Commission on the Prevention of Youth Violence began a collaborative effort to help alleviate some of the problems by establishing a partnership to help fill in the gaps of services for our young adults between the ages of 16 -24. The Cape Fear Youth Ambassadors' Program is a collaborative effort of the Youth Council and Blue Ribbon Commission that will be an on -going effort in which youth can serve up to two years but still participate in activities following the two years of service. In order to accomplish the goals during the program year (November 2, 2009 - December 31, 2010), the program will have short and long -term goals, outcomes and measures. The Ambassadors' program will sponsor career /youth summits to provide workforce training and preparation opportunities, host community engagement events to educate youth on the prevention of youth violence, engage youth in positive youth activities to alter risky behaviors, and host community and after school sessions to educate and expose youth to the "green" concept of recycling. The counties will recognize the project savings because the Cape Fear Ambassadors' Program is currently only being funded by the Cape Fear Workforce Development Board and Youth Council in the amount of $6,000 for all four counties. The overall budget to sponsor a project like this for all four counties is $125,000 per year and the total number of youth to be served is 40 youth. Unique Program /Project Design. The Cape Fear Youth Ambassadors' Program is set apart from other programs in that it is the only program in the four county area that addresses education, life skills, workforce development, youth development, community service, issue awareness and civic duty. The Ambassadors will have the opportunity to impact change in their communities by making recommendations to their local politicians and public officials. Specifically, the Ambassadors in New Hanover County will make recommendations to the Blue Ribbon Commission, which is comprised of Mayor of Wilmington Bill Saffo, County Commissioner Bill Caster, District Attorney Benjamin David, New Hanover County Schools Superintendent Al Lerch, 5 th District Judges James Faison and Phyllis Gorham, Greater Wilmington Chamber CEO Connie Majure- Rhett, and other community leaders. This is an opportunity has not been made available to offer young adults, a "voice" to those who make decisions on behalf of the entire community. Currently, there is a lack of programming for young adults ages 16 -24 within the four county areas. There are a multitude of programs that serve youth in New Hanover County; however, they are seldom age- appropriate for our target population. In Brunswick, Columbus and Pender Counties there is a Board of Commissioners Meeting 04/19/2010 10-1-2 lack of programming for youth across all age categories. Pender County has very limited resources to offer programs and services for the in- school /out of school youth population. There is one organization that attracts many youth to participant in events and that is Urban Promotions. Urban Promotions is geared towards addressing the social inadequacy of our youth to help our communities promote change in the lives of our young adults. Urban Promotions sponsors an Annual Teen Summit to address youth issues and to educate young adults on youth violence; however, it is only offered once a year. Resources. The Youth Ambassadors' Program is utilizing all available resources to support and fund youth activities. Due to the limited funding to sponsor the project, the program has relied on other partner agencies, community leaders /members, and businesses for resources, services, and financial support. The program uses NC Cooperative Extension within the four - county area to conduct training sessions for free on Financial Literacy, Leadership Development, and Public Speaking for the youth. Another partner that the program uses is its community leaders /members to promote and bring awareness to the community about the Ambassadors program and what the program offers youth. A speakers' bureau has been developed in an effort to promote the program within the four - county area. Program Efforts /Simiarilities. Because this program is such a unique program, it can be duplicated in all four of the counties in which we serve. If there were other counties that wanted to use this same project as a model, it would not be hard to duplicate at all. The advice that we would give others that might want to duplicate a project such as this to minimize obstacles and problems is for them to make sure that they first sort out any transportation issues that the youth might have in getting to the meetings or youth events /activities, make sure that they have a pool of volunteers recruited prior to the start of the program to assist with mentoring the youth, and begin early to apply for grants to fund your project. Having limited funds to do community service projects will reduce the number of community service projects you can do within your perspective counties. Partnerships and Collaboration. The ambassadors program involved others agencies, non - profits, businesses, etc to assist in the efforts of implementing youth activities and projects. Partners involved in assisting with projects and youth activities included: New Hanover County Blue Ribbon Commission on the Prevention Youth Violence; United Way of the Cape Fear Area (Brunswick, Columbus, New Hanover, & Pender Counties); Cape Fear Workforce Development Board /Cape Fear Workforce Development Board Youth Council (Brunswick, Columbus, New Hanover, & Pender Counties); Cape Fear Council of Governments (Brunswick, Columbus, New Hanover, & Pender Counties); Community Boys & Girls Club (Brunswick & New Hanover Counties); Hemmingway Center (New Hanover County); Brigade Boys & Girls Club (New Hanover County); Martin Luther King Center (New Hanover County); Men and Women United in Youth and Families (Columbus County); Faith -Based Organizations- Churches (Brunswick, Columbus, New Hanover & Pender Counties); Community Colleges (Brunswick, Cape Fear, & Southeastern); Linc Inc (New Hanover County); GTC Services LLC (Brunswick, New Hanover & Pender Counties); Urban Promotions (Coast 97.3 Radio Station) (Brunswick, Columbus, New Hanover, & Pender Counties); Columbus County NC Cooperative Extension; Outside the Walls /Cape Fear Volunteer Center (New Hanover County); New Hanover County Youth in Action Coalition; Brunswick County Resource Coalition; Wilmington Housing Authority Youth Build Program; and JobLink Career Centers; (Brunswick, Columbus, New Hanover, & Pender). See Partnership /Collaboration Attachment A for details. The collaboration and support shown by these agencies has been excellent. Agencies have helped the youth to become more involved and engaged in community events to educate youth on the prevention of youth violence and the "green" concept of recycling. By implementing the Cape Fear Youth Ambassadors program it has definitely made an impact of in the lives of the youth we serve. Board of Commissioners Meeting 04/19/2010 10 -1 -3 NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION MEETING DATE: April 19, 2010 REGULAR ITEM: 11 DEPARTMENT: County Manager PRESENTER(S): Commissioner Bill Caster CONTACT(S): Wanda Marino, Social Services Assistant Director SUBJECT: Recognition of Social Worker of the Year Award BRIEF SUMMARY: The North Carolina Chapter of the National Association of Social Workers (NASW -NC) Social Worker of the Year Award is an annual award given to a social work professional who has demonstrated commendable social work practice and involvement with NASW and other professional, civic, and community organizations.

COMMISSIONERS' ACTIONS: Recognized JoAnn McCachern for her award and her service to New Hanover County. Board of Commissioners Meeting 04/19/2010 11 -0 JoAnn McCachern Swart, MSW, LCSW, ACSW of Castle Hayne, North Carolina has been named the NASW -NC 2010 Social Worker of the Year. While working more than 40 years as a social worker with 35 years of services with New Hanover County DSS, JoAnn McCachern Swart's work's passion has been responding to the needs of children in the field of adoption and foster care. JoAnn has been active in various statewide meetings, especially in the areas of adoption recruitment and legislative concerns. She has also been a valuable resource for adult adoptees searching for background information and for birth parents wanting to learn about their adult adopted children, and has initiated and facilitated adoptive parent support groups. JoAnn volunteered as afield instructor for BSW and MSW students from UNCW, ECU, and UNC -CH, and her performance as a social worker has reflected her commitment to the Social Work Code of Ethics. JoAnn graduated from St. Andrews Presbyterian College in Laurinburg and received her MSW from UNC- Chapel Hill. After earning an MSW, she obtained the ACSW (1981) and LCSW -NC (1992) credentials. At the Spring 2009 State Adoption and Foster Care Annual Meeting, JoAnn led a workshop on the Process for Clearing Foster Children for Adoption. While pursuing her social work career, JoAnn has been a driving force in the volunteer sector. In 1984, she was appointed to the New Hanover County Council on the Status of Women. As a member, JoAnn helped plan a workshop on family violence, a joint effort of the Council and the Task Force against Family Violence. During this time, she began volunteering with the Women's Resource Center, a coalition of the YWCA, the Task Force against Family Violence, and St. Paul's Episcopal Church. JoAnn served on the Center's coordinating council and was a facilitator for its supportgroup, "Loss of an Unborn or Stillborn Child." Additionally, JoAnn served on the Friends of the Library Board and was a member of the Nation Organization for Women (NOW). Having been recruited for the YWCA Board, JoAnn was elected in 1986, became Second Vice President in 1988, First Vice President in 1989, and President in 1993 and 1994. In 1990, she volunteered to be a mentor in the Board of Commissioners Meeting 04/19/2010 11 -1 -1 two-year program, "Empowering through Mentoring: Matching Teen Women with Achieving Women in Southeastern North Carolina," a cooperative project of the YWCA and Southeastern Community College. The mentors and their proteges met monthly and shared individual activities for over a year. In 1990, JoAnn served as the YWCA's first representative on New Hanover County's Human Relations Commission. During that time she worked with Craig Martin, a counselor with New Hanover County Schools, to organize and lead "Black and White Together: An Invitation to Talk," which was so successful they held a follow -up event. In 1991 -1992, JoAnn served on the YWCA's Houston Moore Terrace Child Care Center Committee which sought Jundingfor equipment, wrote job descriptions, and helped prepare the facility. As YWCA President, she encouraged Board Members to buy their favorite books for the preschoolers as Christmas gifts, and more than 100 books were sent home each year. JoAnn has been an Elder for two terms in her church, where she has volunteered for Meals on Wheels for more than ten years. While leading a 10 -week Empowerment Class for Domestic Violence Shelter and Services, JoAnn was active in the local NOW chapter and served President of the Exchange Club of Greater Wilmington, whose mission is the prevention of child abuse. Lastyear she was recruited to serve on the Board of Directors of the Child Advocacy and Parenting Place Exchange Club Center, Inc. In May, 2009, JoAnn helped plan and execute its Flower Launch to recognize professionals and volunteers who work for the prevention of child abuse. After 20 years of marriage with no children, JoAnn and her husband adopted a girl, age nine, in 1994. Two years later, they adopted her sister, age 16, when she became available for adoption. These daughters shared many interests, especially a love for the ocean. In 2002 they, along with two friends, went to Wrightsville Beach to swim. A yellow flag was flying; the ocean was full of people; and they were within sight of a lifeguard. Nonetheless, their oldest daughter, age 22, was caught in a rip current and drowned. After a year of daily tears, JoAnn began thinking of ways to prevent similar tragedies since she had learned that none of the four, ranging in age from 17 to 24, knew what to do when caught in a rip current. She turned hergrief into a mission to educate coastal residents and tourists about rip current safety. JoAnn wrote to many organizations in New Hanover County responsible for educating people who lived there or visited the area. That included newspaper editors, TV stations, YWCA, YMCA, Girls Inc., Girls and Boys Clubs, the American Red Cross, UNCW, Cape Fear Community College, the Board of Education, private schools, fire departments, and Chambers of Commerce. She wrote to many rental companies that serve our beaches, urging them to provide a free pamphlet on rip currents. This pamphlet has been developed by the NC Sea Grant. She has traveled Board of Commissioners Meeting 04/19/2010 11 -1 -2 from the South Carolina border to Morehead City, NC to distribute information. JoAnn created the acronym, "SCAPS" -- Stay Calm and Parallel Swim with the shore. In 2003, JoAnn became a charter member of RCAST (Rip Current Awareness Strategies Team). RCAST'sgoal is to reduce the number of deaths by rip currents. RCAST promotes rip current safety as reflected in the following projects: pamphlets provided to elementary school students, posters distributed to high schools, magnets placed in many beach rental units, and signage about rip currents posted at public access locations and on trash barrels on local beaches. RCAST is a community -wide effort involving representatives from the local weather service, lifeguards, sheriff's department, fire departments, schools, health department, emergency management, surf camp, UNCW, and JoAnn and her husband, Gary. In 2005, JoAnn was interviewed on the Today Show, and in 2007 she made a PSA for the local schools' television channel. JoAnn also told her story at the 2007 Georgetown -Horny Counties Rip Current Awareness Workshop in Myrtle Beach. Local weather reporters now regularly forecast rip current risks. She has enlisted the help of the local Exchange Clubs in distributing posters and pamphlets in English and Spanish to beach businesses and Visitors' Centers. JoAnn's rip current safety mission is not just a volunteer service -- it is a life- saving service. JoAnn has been an active member in NASW -NC since achieving herACSW in 1981. She served as co- chairfor the local NASW about 15years ago, and she continues to be a participating member in her local community. The Human Relations Commission recognized her outstanding service for the Black and White Together Public Dialogue in 1989. In 1992, JoAnn received an award for her participation in the Southeastern Community College and the YWCA 'Empowering through Mentoring "program, and was named an Adoption Advocate in 1998 by the NC Division of Social Services. In 2005, the US Dept. of Commerce National Weather Service gave JoAnn a Public Service Award for "significant services rendered for her promotion of Rip Current Awareness."

Byrd, Sr., Public Affairs Officer and Stephanie Avery, YWCA Special Programs Director SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution in Support of April 30, 2010 Stand Against Racism Event BRIEF SUMMARY: Racism hurts everyone and has had a profound effect on children and adults, our communities and our institutions. Today, we can look back on our history and examine the direction, development and effects of enslavement, dispossession of lands, exclusion of certain peoples from immigration and citizenship as events that have shaped the current attitudes and actions supported by the power of law, institutional structures, and culture in this country. Race and the legacy of discrimination continue to affect our lives - whether in our everyday interactions with others at work, school, or in our neighborhoods and communities. The YWCAs in America and around the world have a rich history of advocating for racial justice and today is no exception. Stand Against Racism was created to give each organization an opportunity to host a "Stand" in their community, with their own constituency /clients /employees/ students /neighbors /colleagues that meets the individual needs of that group. Stand Against Racism materials are written in a "turn -key" fashion such that any group can customize them and make them their "own ". GOAL:The YWCA created the Stand Against Racism in order to combat the spread of hate and intolerance, and to honor and celebrate the richness of diversity. In 2009, the program attracted over 300 partnering organizations that became participating sites by hosting local "stands ". Over 30,000 individuals took a stand against racism by attending one of the participating sites and sending a strong message. They committed themselves to a lifetime of promoting peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all people in their community and in the world. This powerful, unified, effort helped raised awareness that racism hurts everyone. Participants ranged from school -age children to elected officials, executives of large corporations, church leaders, and others. Racism affects everyone. Today, the YWCA of the Lower Cape Fear is calling on all local organizations, corporations, churches and other houses of worship, government agencies and individuals in New Hanover County to join us by becoming a participating site of the 2010 Stand Against Racism. Any group of any size that believes in a society free of racism is invited to join us. The persistence and pervasiveness of racism divides our community and keeps individuals from achieving success in education, economics, employment, and quality of life. Strength comes from numbers. The YWCA aims to bring people together across communities for one common goal the elimination of racism and we ask you to please make your voice heard by joining the Stand Against Racism.

The development of the draft Cape Fear Commutes 2035 Transportation Plan has included extensive public participation. Over the last 12 months, the committee drafting the plan has received over 3,200 survey responses and hosted open houses throughout area communities. All area transportation projects funded by the state or federal government must be included in the plan, which is updated every five years. The plan looks at the relationship between population growth and the transportation network. It will also look at impacts to quality of life, health and the environment.

The committee members took this charge very seriously. Better transportation planning has been cited by many as a critical need for our region and Wilmington has struggled in the past to address the negative results of unplanned growth on the area's transportation system. From the beginning, the Cape Fear Com- mutes 2035 Committee sought to craft this new plan in an open and transparent fashion, using data and scientific analysis to drive the decision - making process. The committee began with a vision statement which stressed safety, efficiency, appropri- ateness, responsibility, integration and multi - modalism. In order to incorporate ideas, goals and values from the community into the plan, the committee created a survey, which was completed by thousands of area residents. This survey data was used to refine the regional priorities over the next 25 years and identify specific transportation projects for study by the committee. Using a matrix, the transportation projects were ranked based on criteria established by the committee. These criteria evolved directly from the adopted vision statement and survey data collected from the public. We have completed our analysis and project ranking and present this draft plan for your review and comment. Over the next two months, we plan to visit all area governing boards and host public open houses throughout the county in order to further refine this regional plan. Yours Truly, Cape Fear Commutes 2035 Committee Members What is Cape Fear Commutes 2035? Plan Background The Cape Fear Commutes 2035 Transportation Plan is the long range transportation plan for the urbanized area of Wilmington, North Carolina. It has been prepared by the Wilmington Urban Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (WMPO), which is the local organization responsible for regional transportation planning in this area. Federal law requires the preparation of this plan, and also specifies issues which the plan must consider. Cape Fear Commutes 2035 Transportation Plan details how transportation needs should be addressed over the next twenty -five years.The plan establishes the goals and objectives for the improvement of travel conditions within the WMPO planning area and makes specific recommendations for transportation projects and funding sources. In accordance with federal regulations, the plan must be fiscally- constrained. In other words, the plan must identify funding sources for all of the proposed projects.The plan considers all modes of transportation, including automobiles, trucks, buses, trains, airplanes, ferries, bicycles, and walking. Over the past decade, the WMPO area has experienced a significant amount of change, c Table of Contents What is Cape Fear Commutes 2035? . . . 1 Public Involvement . . . . . . . . . . . 3 Identifying Tomorrow's Needs Today . .5 The Plan's Vision . . . . . . . . . . . . 6 Overview of Projects . . . . . . . . . . 6 How the Projects Work . . . . . . . . 11 Paying for the Plan . . . . . . . . . . 12 Project List . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 15 Cape Fear Commutes 2035 Board of Commissioners Meeting 04/19/2010 22 -1 -3 s N m WIS Cape Fear Commutes 2035 Board of Commissioners Meetin 04/19/2010 22-1-4 both economically and demographically. Such changes are expected to continue into the near future.To accommodate the changes in our society and to meet federal re- quirements, the WMPO will regularly update the plan to meet the community's needs. Study Area WMPO is a metropolitan planning organization (MPO). MPOs are local agencies that are responsible for regional transportation planning. In order to be part of the federal transportation planning process and to receive federal transportation funds, an urban area with a population over 50,000 must have an MPO. Each MPO has a range of duties including the production of the long range transportation plan for its area.The overall aim of these Federal requirements is to ensure continuing, cooperative, and compre- hensive transportation planning for urban areas, and MPOs are central to that process. Figure 1 shows the area covered by the WMPO. Plan Requirements Federal law specifies the elements and processes that must feed into each long range transportation plan.The law changes periodically. The most recent law is the Safe, Ac- countable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA LU). SAFETEA -LU requires each long range transportation plan to: • Cover a minimum 20 -year period, • Be updated at certain intervals, • Be'fiscally constrained'- that is, plan on the basis of likely funding levels rather than unlimited funding levels, • Use up -to -date planning assumptions, and • Identify major facilities that should function as an integrated regional system. SAFETEA -LU also specifies the planning factors that must be addressed in the planning process.The process must: • Support the economic vitality of the metropolitan area, especially by enabling global competitiveness, productivity and efficiency, • Increase the safety of the transportation system for motorized and non- motor- ized users, • Increase the security of the transportation system for motorized and non -mo- torized users, • Increase the accessibility and mobility of people and freight, • Protect and enhance the environment, promote energy conservation, improve the quality of life, and promote consistency between transportation improve- ments and State and local planned growth and economic development pat- terns, Cape Fear Commutes 2035 Board of Commissioners Meeting 04/19/2010 22-1-5 s photo :et MP WMPO's adopted Public Involvement Policy creates "an open decision - making process whereby citizens have the opportunity to be involved in all stages of the transportation planning process "and is designed to "ensure that transportation decisions will reflect public priorities." Public involvement has been a critical component in developing Cape Fear Commutes 2035 Transportation Plan, and these activities helped shape the plan: Cape Fear Commutes 2035 Committee The Cape Fear Commutes 2035 Committee was formed at the outset to guide devel- opment of Cape Fear Commutes 2035.The committee is comprised of 13 members appointed from each of the WMPO member municipalities and counties, as well as the North Carolina Department of Transportation and the Cape Fear Public Transportation Authority.The committee was instrumental in researching, developing and analyzing projects, and shaping the guiding policies of the plan. Community Survey and Open Houses The Cape Fear Commutes 2035 Transportation Plan process kicked -off on March 20, 2009 with a press conference at the New Hanover County Public Library Northeast Regional Branch. Over 60 people and various media outlets attended the event, where they heard comments from Wilmington Mayor Bill Saffo, Pender County Commissioner Jimmy Tate, Belville Mayor Chuck Thurlow and North Carolina Board of Transportation Member Lanny Wilson. This event marked the opening of the Cape Fear Commutes 2035 Survey, which was posted on -line and published in the Wilmington Star News as a 1/4 page display adver- tisement for over one month. The survey was also included in the various weekly re- gional newspapers in the three - county region. WMPO staff and members of the Cape Fear Commutes 2035 Committee attended various meetings and events to publicize the survey and also appeared on several radio and television shows. From May 11 to May 21, 2009, six public open houses were held throughout the three - county region. These open houses provided the public an opportunity to meet with WMPO staff and members of the Cape Fear Commutes 2035 Committee and outline their vision for transportation in the Wilmington area over the next 25 years. The open houses were also used to route additional traffic to the survey. The survey was officially closed on June 17, 2009, three months after it opened. Over 3,200 residents of the Cape Fear region responded to the survey in both English and Spanish. The data collected through the survey was used by the Cape Fear Commutes 2035 Committee to develop and vision and set of guiding principles for the plan. The results also identified a large number of new transportation projects that the commit- tee was able to analyze and evaluate. z� _v C ape Fear Co 2035 Board of Commissioners Meeting 04/19/2010 22 -1 -6 pho to :et MP Website The WMPO's website devoted a page to Cape Fear Commutes 2035 Transportation Plan, allowing members of the public to stay abreast of the plan's development, access meeting agendas and minutes, view documents, and provide input. Visit CapeFearCommutes.org for more information. Identif Tomorrow's Needs Toda Growth As the region continues to grow, more people and more jobs will undoubtedly mean more congestion and less mobility throughout the region. Keeping up with the antici- pated growth while not neglecting today's issues is the key challenge addressed by the Cape Fear Commutes 2035 Transportation Plan.The plan's approach to mitigating the impacts of growth is multi- faceted, recognizing the importance of developing alterna- tive modes of transportation and becoming less dependent of automobiles for our daily travel needs. Recent statistics rank the Wilmington Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) as the 24th fastest growing urban area in the United States.The Wilmington MSA includes more than 347,000 residents, more than a 26 percent increase in population since 2000. Pro- jections for population and household growth within the WMPO area were completed for 2020 and 2035, and are shown in the charts to the right. Brunswick and Pender County populations are projected to more than triple by 2035, while New Hanover County's population is projected to increase by nearly two - thirds, from approximately 178,000 people today to approximately 284,000 in 2035. Employment growth is also projected to be significant, especially in Brunswick and Pender counties compared to their current employment levels. Challenges The Cape Fear Commutes 2035 Transportation Plan recognizes the many transporta- tion challenges facing the region.These include: • Coordinating land use and transportation planning to ensure orderly develop- ment that does not overburden transportation infrastructure • Developing in a way that is sustainable in the long -term and sensitive to the region's many important environmental, cultural and historic features • Finding alternative funding sources to pay for the many transportation needs • Promoting the use of alternative modes of transportation to provide viable transportation choices to the region's travelers, and • Working cooperatively as regional partners to address regional and local trans- portation issues Population Growth 450,000 400,000 350,000 300,000 250,000 200,000 150,000 100,000 50,000 Brunswick Pender I�New Hanover WMPO Area 2008 2020 2035 Employment Growth 250,000 200,000 150,000 100,000 50,000 C ape Fear Co 2035 Board of Commissioners Meeting 04/19/2010 22-1-7 s E The Plan's Vision Cape Fear Commutes 2035 Transportation Plan will plan for a safe, efficient, appro- priate, responsible, integrated, multimodal transportation system throughout the Wilmington Urban Area over the next 25 years.The transportation system will be: • Safe: reduces injuries and improves the sense of safety for all users • Efficient: moves the most people and goods in a cost effective manner, while using the least amount of resources • Appropriate: contributes to the quality of life and character of the region through proper design • Responsible: protects existing investments and limits environmental and social impacts • Integrated: links with other transportation and land use plans as well as future infrastructure investments • Multimodal: provides a choice of modes for most trips Overview of Cape Fear Commutes 2035 Pro The Cape Fear Commutes 2035 Transportation Plan is a multimodal plan that address- es current and future roadway, transit, bicycle, pedestrian, and other transportation needs. Projects were identified through a variety of sources, analyzed thoroughly, and ranked according to relevant and quantifiable factors. The following provides descriptions of specific elements of the plan. Individual projects are listed in Table 1, located in the final section of this report. More detail about these plan elements, as well as project development and detail, can be found in the appendices. Aviation Both commercial and general aviation make distinct contributions to the transpor- tation system, as well as having particular impacts on other aspects of the transpor- tation system and the wider environment. Commercial aviation allows citizens to travel to other states and internationally for business, personal business or leisure. Commercial freight operations, including major parcel companies, provide a means of delivering commercial goods across the nation. Aviation is the fastest mode of transportation for traveling substantial distances. General aviation supports busi- ness travel needs, as well as providing for recreational flying Larger airports, such as Wilmington International Airport (ILM), are significant gen- erators of travel demand, not only for air travelers but also for commercial vehicles and the commuting needs of airport employees.They can act as intermodal nodes not only between air and surface transportation, but between modes of surface transportation for which the airport is simply a convenient meeting place. Cape Fear Commutes 2035 Transportation Plan supports development of the aviation sector, and in particular plans for improved transit connections to the airport to give travel- ers and employees other options besides driving to the airport. z� _v C ape Fear Co 2035 Board of Commissioners Meeting 04/19/2010 22 -1 -8 Bicycle Facilities Bicycling can be a viable alternative to driving if the facilities and amenities are in place to make bicycle travel convenient and accessible. While many people bicycle for recre- ation, Cape Fear Commutes 2035 focuses on improving bicycling conditions for commut- ers and people making non - recreational trips.The committee received significant input from the bicycling community for development of this plan, including detailed input from the community survey, open houses, and the ongoing work of the WMPOs Bicycle/ Pedestrian Committee.The City of Wilmington and other member jurisidictions and partners (such as UNCW) have found success working together to improve the regional bicycle network. Over 200 individual bicycle improvement projects were identified. These include striping bicycle lanes on new and existing roadways, developing bicycle boulevards, and con- structing multi -use paths. Projects were prioritized based on a series of criteria to assist in applying limited funding opportunities to the most needed projects.These projects are detailed in the appendix to this report. Of the over 200 bicycle projects identified, the top 10 projects are: • Heide -Trask Bridge (bicycle lane restriping) • S 18th Street (bicycle boulevard) • Bethel Road (bicycle lane restriping) • Isabel Holmes Bridge (bicycle lane restriping) • Mercer Avenue (bicycle lane restriping) • Oleander Drive (bicycle lane restriping) • S Front Street (bicycle lane restriping) • Central Boulevard (bicycle lane restriping) • Harper Avenue (bicycle lane restriping) • 41 st Street (bicycle lane restriping) Freight Freight movement is a critical element of an advanced industrial economy, and the ease of freight movement is one component of a region's economic competitiveness for attracting and retaining various types of industry and employment centers. Freight movement can also have an impact on a region's quality of life, particularly with the need to ensure heavy truck traffic has suitable routes to /from the national highway or rail networks and ports, avoiding established residential areas. A key focus of improving freight movement in the WMPO area is promoting intermodal connections between the ports, highways, and rail networks.This focus includes making improvements to the US 74 highway corridor and the CSX rail line connecting the pro- posed North Carolina International Terminal at Southport to Charlotte, as well as restora- tion of the rail line between Castle Hayne and Wallace to provide rail access to Raleigh Cape Fear Commutes 2035 Board of Commissioners Meeting 04/19/2010 22-1-9 s photo :et MP and the Northeast. It also may include upgrades to Independence Boulevard in Wilmington and development of the Cape Fear Skyway as an important connec- tor. Because freight travel is impacted by roadway congestion, freight move- ment was a factor in ranking the Congestion Mitigation roadway projects. Mass Transportation Improvements The Cape Fear Commutes 2035 Transportation Plan aims to improve mobility throughout the region by employing a variety of approaches and improvements to all modes of travel. As the region continues to grow and the population becomes more dispersed, transit will play a more central role in moving people throughout the region. Public transportation has several roles in the transportation system. At the personal level, it provides mobility for people who are unable to drive, and an additional mobility for people who prefer not to drive. At a more strategic level, it can contribute to economic competitiveness, provide an alternative to congested highways, and assist with meeting air quality and other sustainability and quality -of -life goals. Historically, public transportation has taken a low profile in long -range planning, with greatest attention and funding being given to highway projects.This will need to change as it is increasingly recognized that a highway -led approach is neither financially feasible nor the best way to achieve a region's overall goals. In addition, land use patterns are an important determinant of whether transit ser- vice can be made attractive or even feasible, requiring forward - thinking policy development and regulatory standards. Higher density, mixed -use develop- ments, for example, that are designed to incorporate transit infrastructure and amenities have been shown to boost transit ridership. This plan will improve transit through enhancing the local bus system, adding new express routes to capture regional commuters, and developing a bus rapid transit network in the urban area.These projects are shown on Figures 3 and 5, toward the end of this report. Local Bus The Wilmington community has worked to develop a successful local bus sys- tem, WAVE Transit. WAVE Transit buses provide an affordable and convenient way to access jobs, shopping, and other destinations in Wilmington without a car. As the city and region continue to grow,WAVETransit will be relied on more as an alternative means of travel.This plan will add or modify five WAVE Transit routes. These routes will connect key destinations, such as UNCW and the airport, with the downtown, and will reach out to growing parts of the urban area.The new routes, and improvements to existing routes, will take advantage of the Central and Downtown Stations. Express Bus Routes More and more of the region's residents are living outside of the Wilmington urban area and commuting into the downtown, UNCW, the regional medical center, and other major employment centers.Today,their only real option is to drive.This plan creates 13 express bus routes that will give these commuters a ape Fear Commutes 2035 Board of Commissioners Meeting 04/19/2010 22 -1 -10 photo :et MP viable and attractive option to driving. Many of these routes will access park- and -ride In lots that are strategically located along major corridors, allowing commuters to drive a short distance from their home to the park- and -ride lot and ride the express bus into Wilmington. These routes will operate during the peak travel times and will have shorter travel times than local buses. Many of these express routes are intended to serve destinations outside of the WMPO area. Development and implementation of these routes will require planning and coor- dination with regional partners. Funding from Cape Fear Commutes 2035 Transportation Plan only covers the project lengths within the WMPO area. Bus Rapid Transit Supplementing the local bus service, Cape Fear Commutes 2035 Transportation Plan establishes five corridors for the development of bus rapid transit, commonly referred to as BRT. Cities the size of Wilmington across the United States and throughout the world are developing BRT systems to provide efficient mass transit service in urban areas without the extremely high cost of commuter rail or light rail. BRT systems are cost - effective because they are developed on existing city streets with only moderate improvements to the infrastructure. They utilize modern, low -floor bus vehicles that provide many of the amenities that attract commuters who have a choice as to how they travel. Corridors in Wilmington identified for bus rapid transit improvements are: • Market Street (starter segment) • Oleander Drive • South 17th Street • Carolina Beach Road, and • Corridor between downtown and UNCW Other Regional Priorities As mass transportation projects were developed for Cape Fear Commutes 2035 Transportation Plan, a number of regional priorities were identified as needs, but not designated for funding.The regional priority projects would provide important con- nections to key destinations outside of the WMPO area, such as Raleigh, Fayetteville, and Jacksonville. Key destinations could be accessed by heavy rail, inter -city bus, ferries, or potentially water taxis.A rail feasibility study was completed approximately nine years ago. Specific unfunded recommendations include adding ferry service between Southport and downtown Wilmington, and reconstructing the rail line between Castle Hayne and Wallace. Pedestrian Facilities WMPO members have been aggressively planning for pedestrian improvements out- side the planning framework of Cape Fear Commutes 2035 Transportation Plan. In 2009, the City of Wilmington adopted Walk Wilmington: A Comprehensive Pedestrian Plan. Cape Fear Commutes 2035 Board of Commissioners Meeting 04/19/2010 22 -1 -11 s photo :et MP With this plan, the City of Wilmington and NCDOT hope to meet the demands for safer and more extensive pedestrian facilities, including greenways, side- walks, and crosswalks.The comprehensive pedestrian plan guides local, regional and state efforts to improve conditions for walking in the City of Wilmington and enhance the City's reputation as one of the premier tourism and recreation destinations in the southeast. Wilmington and other communities within the MPO area have completed other, more localized pedestrian planning efforts. Cape Fear Commutes 2035 Transportation Plan includes specific pedestrian im- provements, such as sidewalks, crosswalks, and pedestrian signalization, as part of many of the roadway improvement projects. In many cases, they are included as part of the roadway projects to promote the development of complete streets and also provide opportunities to make connections between different modes of travel. Roadway Improvements While a major emphasis of the plan's development is creating a balanced, multimodal transportation system, Cape Fear Commutes 2035 Transportation Plan recognizes that automobile use is, and will continue to be, the predominant mode of transportation for many people.The roadway improvement projects in the plan fall into one of three categories: Congestion Mitigation (projects that relieve traffic congestion), Safety (projects that promote safe travel for all modes of travel), and Quality of Life (projects that enhance the streetscape and add to the urban fabric). Congestion Mitigation One of the major byproducts of the significant regional growth in the Wilm- ington area is increased traffic congestion. Congestion Mitigation projects are roadway improvement projects that address significant existing and projected capacity issues. In some cases that means widening existing roads, in others it means building new roads, and in still others it means providing congestion relief at major intersections. The highest priority Congestion Mitigation projects have been planned for years and are currently programmed in the State's Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). Among the highest priority projects are: • Completion of the Wilmington Bypass (TIP: R- 263313) • North and South Kerr Avenue improvements (TIP: U -3338) • US 17/74/76 improvements, from US 421 to River Road (TIP: R -3601) • Extension of Independence Boulevard (U -4434) • Extension of Military Cutoff Road (TIP: U -4751) Roadway Safety Another critical factor in improving the region's transportation system is en- hancing the safety of the region's roads. Often, safety is closely tied to capacity Cape Fear Commutes 2035 Board of Commissioners Meeting 04/19/2010 22 -1 -12 photo credit MP Photo c issues on major corridors, but safety issues can also arise along roads and at intersections that were not originally designed and built to handle today's traffic. Many of the Safety projects in the plan are intersection improvement projects.These may entail realigning roads leading into the intersection, improving sight distances, upgrading or adding signalization, and other similar improvements.The plan also calls for construct- ing a number of roundabouts to replace existing traditional intersections. Under the right circumstances, roundabouts have been shown to be an effective way to both improve traffic flow and enhance safety. Safety projects also include other types of improvements, such as access management. Like roadway widenings and intersection improvements, access management improvements can enhance capacity (and reduce congestion). But access management improvements, such as installing medians and restricting turning movements, can also make corridors safer by prohibiting dangerous turning movements and eliminating potential conflict points. Quality of Life Our streets are a key component of our community's fabric.They help establish a mean- ingful sense of place and add value to our community.The Quality of Life projects in this plan aim to enhance urban design, mainly through streetscape improvements. Streetscape improvements could include adding curb and gutter, landscaping, bicycle lanes, sidewalks, landscaped medians, curb bulbouts, and decorative crosswalks. These projects would mainly be funded through local funds (not competing directly for funds with the Congestion Mitigation and Safety projects), except where they have demonstrable potential to improve roadway capacity. Other Regional Priorities The Cape Fear Commutes 2035 Committee recognizes that there are other roadway projects of regional importance that fall outside the parameters of this plan for funding purposes. The highest profile project that is not funded through this plan is the Cape Fear Skyway, which is anticipated to be funded principally by tolls. If built, the Skyway would significantly alter travel patterns in the region.The next update of this plan five years from now will be a new opportunity to study the impacts of the Skyway and determine any other future proj- ects that should be identified to support mobility in the region. Transportations Systems and Demand Management The roadway improvements that are part of this plan will not be enough to relieve conges- tion and provide the level of mobility that travelers throughout the region need and desire. The emphasis in this plan on developing alternative modes of travel, such as transit, bicy- cling, and walking, will enhance mobility. Another effective tool is to improve the efficiency of the overall transportation system by better managing system components (for example, by improving traffic signal coordination and providing real -time traffic information), and by implementing programs and policies to reduce the demand for car - focused transportation. Key elements of this plan are: Constituting a Regional Transportation Commission that in addition to having the authority to levy taxes to support transportation improvements, will promote new technologies across the region to enhance mobility Cape Fear Commutes 2035 Board of Commissioners Meeting 04/19/2010 22 -1 -13 s • Creating a full -time Transportation Demand Management Coordinator position to work with regional transportation partners • Promoting better access management • Coordinating transportation needs with the schools and UNCW • Encouraging land uses that support transportation mode choice • Integrating park and ride lots into new development along major transit corridors and highways • Encouraging the redevelopment of downtown Wilmington to provide a dense, walkable, transit - supportive regional center, and • Working with the region's employers to develop programs that incentive use of alternative modes for employees • Standardizing speed limits and design speeds on collector and arterial roadways z� _v C ape Fear Commutes 2035 Board of Commissioners Meeting 04/19/2010 22 -1 -14 Paying for the Plan Revenue Revenue projections for the Cape Fear Commutes 2035 Transportation Plan were based upon an analysis of historical data. Revenues were identified by funding source and grouped by primary mode. In most cases, current year revenues were assumed to grow at the forecast rate of population growth. Over the 25 year period of the plan, the aver- age forecast population growth for the WMPO is approximately 2.4 percent per year. All dollars are reported in constant present year dollars. Roadway Revenues Roadway revenues were based on analysis of past MTIPs, with a focus on funded amounts over programmed amounts. Excluding loop projects, the WMPO has re- ceived approximately $25 million per year for capacity related projects. Additionally, the WMPO has averaged approximately $660,000 per year for safety - related improve- ments and roughly $1 million per year in federal bridge aid. Future revenues were assumed to grow with population. Loop funding (funding from the State's Highway Trust Fund for major interstates) is set aside for the Wilmington Bypass and Indepen- dence Boulevard Extension projects. Maintenance is performed both by the division as well as locally. While division funds have fluctuated wildly in recent years given the current financial climate, the average for the WMPO area has been approximately $3.5 million. Additionally, municipalities have received an average of roughly $3.3 million per year in Powell Bill receipts. Ad- ditional local maintenance is roughly $1 million per year. State and local expenditures were assumed to increase with population. As Powell Bill receipts have been flat for the past five years, no increase is assumed in these funds. Bicycle and Pedestrian Revenues State enhancement money is the primary non -local source of revenue for non -mo- torized projects. This has averaged approximately $175,000 per year. Additionally, the City of Wilmington has budgeted an average of roughly $600,000 per year for sidewalk construction and repair. For bikes and multiuse paths, the amount is roughly $320,000 per year. These are all assumed to grow with population. Mass Transportation Revenues Transit in the region is funded from a variety of sources. In addition to farebox rev- enue, the transit agencies receive state and federal assistance. There is also a substan- tial contribution from a variety of state and local health and welfare agencies. WAVE Transit also receives a sizeable amount of its budget directly from UNCW for rides it provides to students. Currently, WAVE Transit receives nearly $1.8 million in operating assistance from the Federal Transit Administration under the Section 5307 program. Current rules prohibit such assistance for agencies serving areas with populations in excess of 200,000, a designation that is essentially certain following the 2010 census. It was assumed that this lost revenue would be replaced through a combination of increased fares and local assistance. Given that transit revenues are not tied directly to the population of the region, but of the service area and other service factors, growth rates based on historical data were used to predict the growth of the farebox Cape Fear Commutes 2035 s 21iom'203" Board of Commissioners Meeting 04/19/2010 22 -1 -15 revenue and local, state and federal operating assistance. These rates ranged from -1 to 5.5 percent per year. Costs For each of the identified projects, an order -of- magnitude cost estimate was developed in current year dollars. Roadway costs Including programmed MTIP projects, the committee identified over $2.5 billion in Con- gestion Mitigation roadway projects and nearly $40 million in Roadway Safety projects. Additionally, the committee identified over $100 million in projects aimed primarily at improving quality of life. As maintenance is ongoing, specificroadway projects were not identified. As federal bridge -aid projects are primarily maintenance projects, no specific projects were identi- fied in this category either. Bicycle and Pedestrian Costs Over 200 bicycle improvements were identified with an estimated cost of nearly $106 million dollars. Specific sidewalk projects were not identified. Mass Transportation Costs Continued operation of the existing WAVE Transit system will be approximately $170 mil- lion over the lifetime of the plan. The identified projects would add roughly $224 million in operations and maintenance over the lifetime of the plan and require a capital invest- ment of roughly $128 million. Operation of the Brunswick Transit System will be roughly $21 million over the course of the plan. Fiscally Constraining the Plan The Cape Fear Commutes 2035 Transportation Plan must be fiscally constrained, meaning that total proposed expenditures do not exceed anticipated revenues over the lifetime of the plan. While the plan deals in current year dollars, the cost of construction has exceeded the overall rate of inflation in recent years. For this plan, a moderate rate of 3 percent per year of cost escalation, beyond inflation, was assumed. In order to escalate costs, however, it was important to estimate the time horizon of the project construction. For this reason, projects are listed as happening in one of three time periods: 2010 -2015; 2016 -2025; or 2026 -2035. In some cases, projects are so large their construction will span multiple periods and thus may be reported as occurring in multiple time periods. In these cases costs were divided among the time periods and escalated accordingly. Roadway Projects The NCDOT 5 -Year Work Program and 2009 -2015 MTIP were used to ascertain Congestion Mitigation roadway revenues and work order for the 2010 -2015 program. After that period, historical revenues were assumed. Overall, a total of $1,093 million was estimated to be available for Congestion Mitigation roadway projects. Additionally, the WMPO has identi- fied approximately $90 million worth of local projects that would be constructed using local bonds. The total escalated cost of the roadway projects primarily listed as Congestion Mitigation is $1,127 million. Additionally, roughly $47 million worth of projects identified as primarily Quality of Life roadway projects by the committee were identified as addressing z� _v C ape Fear Co 2035 Board of Commissioners Meeting 04/19/2010 22 -1 -16 capacity issues and selected for inclusion in the plan. Approximately $23.5 million was estimated to be available for Roadway Safety projects over the lifetime of the plan. The total escalated cost of the identified projects is roughly $23 million. Given the limited funds available for enhancement -type projects, nearly $30 million in additional Quality of Life roadway projects were identified for local bonding within the WMPO. Bicycle and Pedestrian Projects Given the great number of identified non - motorized projects, a specific plan for these items was not developed. Projects will be built based on local needs and available funds. In particular, the list identifies nearly 24 miles of bicycle lanes that can be marked for only about $250,000 worth of restriping. Mass Transportation Projects Total operating costs over the life of the plan, including new service, is $415 million. Escalated capital costs total $168 million, of which roughly $98 million would be eligible for federal reimbursement. Total local revenues and other op- erating assistance is estimated at $289 million, leaving a funding gap of roughly $194 million. Current law allows for an optional sales tax and vehicle registration tax which could generate $270 and $37 million, respectively, in New Hanover County alone over the life of the plan. The Cape Fear Commutes 2035 Transporta- tion Plan assumes that some combination of this funding is passed to satisfy the additional revenue needs. New funding sources The list of identified needs, greatly outstrips the available funds. While few ad- ditional revenue sources are available, the WMPO recognizes that the area will need to develop additional funding mechanisms in the future, many of which would require changes in state law. Regional Transportation Commission - regional partners should inves- tigate forming a regional transportation commission that would have the authority to generate revenue from taxes and transportation user charges, such as tolls, to pay for future transportation projects of regional importance. Commission membership would be comprised of represen- tatives from the three counties in the region. Tax Increment Financing (TIF) /District Improvement Financing (DIF) - TI Fs and DIFs are innovative financing tools that target districts or specific projects for redevelopment through use of tax increments. A tax incre- ment is the difference between the beginning assessed value of the targeted property in its underdeveloped state and the assessed value going forward, as the planned improvements develop. The Market Street bus rapid transit project, for example, could be financed in part if a TIF were established along Market Street. The TIF would help fund a needed transit project and have the added benefit of encouraging good devel- opment.

Tax, $194, 9% Estimated Transportation Expenditures 2010 -2035 in millions of 2010 dollars General transportation- focused sales tax - current law allows for a' /4 percent sales tax to support new transit initiatives, but none of this money can go toward roadway or non - motorized improvements. A local- option sales tax could generate hundreds of millions of dollars in available funds across the three - county MPO area. Local toll facilities - many of the identified improvements have current -year costs in the hundreds of millions of dollars. These amounts vastly outstrip the available resources. Another option for funding would be the creation of a local tolling net- work overseen by a regional toll authority. Few such models exist in the country, though, often as the appetite for local (shorter distance) toll roads is more limited. Tolling these facilities could speed up their construction and ensure that a greater portion of the roadway was borne directly by the users. Impact fees /adequate public facilities requirements - while impact fees and adequate public facilities requirements often address localized deficiencies, the monies can often be pooled to fund larger projects beyond the scope of a single developer. The monies raised from these requirements also have the potential to free up funds for other projects. Bicycle sales excise tax - some communities are implementing a point -of -sale excise tax on the purchase of adult bicycles. Funds collected from these taxes are used exclusively to enhance bicycle transportation. Given the comprehensive list of bicycle projects identified and the general lack of funds to make the improve- ments, this kind of tax could be considered. Unfunded m Pro The Cape Fear Commutes 2035 Committee identified more projects than can be funded. These projects, while unfunded, are nevertheless important pieces in completing the overall transportation puzzle and should be referred to as new funding sources and op- portunities are identified and should be a central part of future discussions. They include projects for all modes and are listed in their entirety in the appendix. Cape Fear Commutes 2035 Pro List Each Cape Fear Commutes 2035 project is listed in Table 1 and illustrated on Figures 2,3, and 4. Projects in Table 1 are generally grouped by the plan element categories de- scribed previously, and are prioritized within each category. Estimated costs are given for each project to demonstrate that the projects are financially balanced with projected revenues. The table also identifies the jurisdiction where the project is located. The project list assumes that the projects in the current State Transportation Improve- ment Program (STIP) receive the highest priority for funding.

Greer 230 Government Center Drive, Suite 175 Wilmington, NC 28403 Dear Commissioners: I am writing in response to your ABC Board County openings. Through local media coverage, research through your county commissioner web -site and speaking with you individually, I understand that the three open ABC Board positions will be filled with new members over the next several months. At this stage of my career, I am looking for a position in the public sector that will allow me to utilize my practical legal knowledge, academic background, client development experience and community interests to become more involved in our community. As a qualified voter of New Hanover County, residing at 1005 Bay Branch Circle, Wilmington, NC 29405, please find and accept my attached Resume and Application for this position on the New Hanover County ABC Board. Venturing into solo practice straight out of law school, I have participated in all of the back- office operations of a law firm. For ten years I have successfully managed all legal and business aspects of my local family operated law firm specializing in real property law. This has allowed me to better appreciate the pressures that managers feel and how to handle almost any situation that may arise on the day to day management of a county board. As the founding partner of Collins & Collins Law Offices, PLLC, I place great emphasis on ethical, professional, and personal advocacy, and for this reason achieving and maintaining outstanding staff and client relations are a few of my greatest strengths. Since 2000, my law practice has grown from one to six employees, and I have expanded the firm's practice areas to meet the progressing needs of our clients. In my professional capacity I have had the opportunity to work with a multitude of diverse individuals in all types of situations -- working with business people as well as city and county employees. These relationships along with my background in engineering and real estate law will help me be an asset to the City Council from my first day. Board of Commissioners Meeting 04/19/2010 25 -1 -10 My educational background includes a law degree from Wake Forest School of Law. Prior to law school, I graduated from NC State with an engineering degree, and before that I was the third generation of my family to graduate from New Hanover High School. As a local small business owner I require economic prosperity in our community to succeed. I understand and welcome the challenges facing the ABC Board at this turning point. In my opinion this period in respect to the ABC Board is crucial to our county's success and growth. It is of great concern to me that this Board be managed correctly, because I understand how important it is for our county to maintain control of the ABC Board and the revenues it creates. I am not applying today to kickoff a career as a life long politician. Like you all, I want to serve New Hanover County. As a real property attorney, New Hanover County and its residents have been generous to me over my career, and now, I find myself with a great opportunity to g ive back to the Community. I know there will be hard decisions coming before the ABC Board over the next several months. Because I have no plans to run for office next year, I'm ready and willing to make those hard yet necessary decisions to help secure a brilliant future for the county I love. Please consider me for the New Hanover County ABC Board. I look forward to the prospect of bringing my interests, educational background and prior legal experience managing hundreds of clients to benefit the New Hanover County ABC Board. Please feel free to contact me at your convenience to arrange an interview.

Even prior to the uproar in the media over the ABC situation, I had inquired through Commissioner Bobby Greer on how I might become involved in helping the county in some way. Commissioner Greer indicated that there were several committees and boards available for citizens to consider if they wished to volunteer. He arranged for me to receive the county's Citizen Participation brochure. While pondering the many different committees/boards that the county has to offer, the current situation involving the ABC Board became public knowledge. While there is much emotion surrounding what has transpired, I felt that there would be a need for new board members who: • Had no ties to any of the former board members or to any of the current ABC staff, • Could approach the ABC operations with a calm and analytical mindset, • Have a solid and well rounded business background, • Would ensure compliance regarding any North Carolina or New Hanover County regulations (i.e., sunshine laws, documentation of decisions in minutes) • Would keep a proactively open line of communication with the County Commissioners and the County staff regarding ABC operations. At a recent Rotary meeting, a group of business leaders were discussing the ABC situation, and a few of them suggested I consider volunteering for this board. They felt that with my business background and not having any ties to any of the parties involved in the ABC operations that I would make a good candidate. So wanting to serve the county in some fashion, and seeing a match in my background to a need the county currently has, is the reason I wish to serve on this board. What areas of concern would vou like to see addressed by this committee`? While my knowledge of the ABC Board is limited to what I have read regarding the current situation, my focus would include: ■ Continued p Lofitability of the ABC operation. While the recent controversy has centered on salary levels and openness of ABC Board records, most accounts indicate that the New Hanover ABC operation is one of the most profitable ones in the state. Our number one goal should be to continue operating in a way that continues this level of excellence we have achieved regarding profitability. We need to find a new president of operations who has experience in retail liquor sales, who knows what products turn or don't turn, and who can positively motivate the entire employee base to be as productive as possible. ■ Develo in HR Puidelin rticularly regarding salary bonuses and nepotism. The details regarding the recent uproar don't need to be restated here. It is obvious that a review of all HR policies should be done. The State of North Carolina may eventually set guidelines for salaries/bonuses /longevity pay, but we should be proactive in reviewing all available data and determining what makes sense for our operations in advance of any state edicts. After we have implemented any changes deemed necessary, if the state then provides additional direction we would modify as needed. Other key policies to be reviewed would be nepotism issues, as well as acceptable expense reimbursement policies. While Board of Commissioners Meeting 04/19/2010 25 -1 -35 L, 10 hi this paragraph highlights key issues of concern regarding HR &expense policies, all operational policies should be reviewed on an ongoing basis to ensure compliance with all state /county regulations. Review of all plans surrounding any future construction or building closings. This ties back to the first bullet point dealing with profitability. Building new plant facilities and the closing of others is an ongoing process of any growing business. Will current building/closure plans increase profitability? But part of the recent controversy also included neighborhoods being upset with decisions regarding clear cutting of trees and demolition of buildings in those neighborhoods. It is very important to include input from the public on these issues and not make decisions behind closed doors. This doesn't mean that any negative input from the public necessitates not moving forward, but the input needs to be honestly obtained and weighed before making final decisions. Openness and Full Disclosure. Applicable sunshine laws regarding meetings need to be strictly followed — no exceptions. Properly recorded minutes of all meetings and decisions are a necessity. The County Commissioners were blindsided during the recent controversy. This should not have occurred if the ABC Board followed both the letter and the spirit of the laws surrounding meetings/minutes. In addition to making public the minutes, the ABC Board should proactively contact the County Commissioners on key decisions they have made so as to avoid future biindsides. Now, quite frankly, and based upon only what I have read in the paper, I don't think any of the former ABC Board Members were doing anything intentionally in a sinister manner. I don't know any of the former board members, but I think that maybe they had just become "comfortable" over time regarding the ABC operations due to its profitability, and in becoming comfortable they inadvertently became a little lax in some administrative areas. And at least one of them has admitted that the salary/bonus situation was in fact an error of judgment on their part. We just need to ensure this doesn't happen again. La rger a nd Diverse ABC Board. While this decision is not something made by the ABC Board, it is something of concern. I am not sure if the size of the board is something dictated by the state or by the county. In either case I would recommend that the board be expanded to at least S members, if not more. In addition, once the County Commissioners determine the attributes they are looking for in the board members, they should ensure that there are representatives with those attributes representing the diversity of our New Hanover County population. There should be an obvious mix of men/women as well as a racially balanced board. Part of the diversity should also include representation from different areas of the county. Board of Commissioners Meeting 04/19/2010 L 25 -1 -36 � 0 Qualifications For Serving Going back to the first question of why I wished to serve on this board, I stated that I felt that there would be a need for new board members who: ■ Had no ties to any of the former board members or to any of the current ABC staff, • Could approach the ABC operations with a calm and analytical mindset, • Have a solid and well rounded business background, • Would ensure compliance regarding any North Carolina or New Hanover County regulations (i.e., sunshine laws, documentation of decisions in minutes) • Would keep a proactively open line of communication with the County Commissioners and the County staff regarding ABC operations. I have those attributes. In addition: • My education background includes an undergraduate degree in Business Administration (Accounting major), a Masters of Business Administration, and certification in Human Resources Management. ■ I have worked for 35 years within the AT &T family of companies, all in a management capacity. I have experience in Accounting, Auditing, Finance, Human Resources, Purchasing, Marketing and External Affairs. • I have held leadership positions both in the business environment as well as the volunteer world. In these leadership roles I have been successful in helping to drive consensus in order to move the organization forward in a positive manner to reach established goals. • I am also proficient in parliamentary procedures, having even taught parliamentary procedures to multiple organizations. I mention this as I know that to run efficient public meetings that it is important to follow established procedural rules and regulations. ■ In my role as AT &T's Regional Director of External Affairs, I have had the opportunity to meet with governmental, civic and business leaders here in New Hanover County. I think I have been positively received by these leaders resulting in a very positive public image. This positive image I think will help with bolstering the public's image of the new ABC Board, an image that has been severely tarnished during the recent controversy. I look forward, if chosen, to working with all of the County Commissioners, the New Hanover County staff, the ABC board members and the ABC operations team.
