In the spring of 2020, the owners of the Castle Hayne Station located at 5311 Castle Hayne Road made notice that they would not be extending the current lease after June 30, 2022. Their intentions were to sell the property, allowing the county to purchase if desired. Planning for future fire station locations identified that the current Castle Hayne Station is not located effectively for service delivery. The building's condition would require a substantial rebuild to provide accommodations for a modern emergency services facility. Therefore, it is not in the best interest of the county to purchase. In December, the owner of the current facility notified the county that a potential buyer has come forward. The potential owner is in negotiation with the county for a multi -year lease of the existing facility until a new facility is constructed. The design and construction of a new facility will be included in the Capital Improvement Plan approved by the County Commissioners. The county has successfully reached an agreement with Trade Land Company LLC, for the purchase of property located at 4860 Castle Hayne Road, pending board approval. The 2.2 acres on Castle Hayne Road is at the intersection of Parmele Road and is zoned B1. The property was independently appraised at $355,000, however due to its prime location and accessibility to two major roads the price of $375,000 was agreed on for the sale. A Phase 1 Environmental Survey and Soil Suitability Study have indicated that the site is suitable for a fire station. A preliminary site layout has been reviewed by NC DOT, New Hanover County Planning and Land Use and New Hanover County Stormwater with no concerns regarding the preliminary site layout. 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: Approve the purchase of the property and grant authority for the county manager and county attorney to execute all necessary documents.

Board of Commissioners - February 21, 2022 ITEM: 10 NEW HANOVER COUNTY FINANCIAL SUMMARY QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 INTRODUCTION: Attached is a brief fiscal summary for select New Hanover County funds for the quarter ended December 31, 2021. Included is a summary of revenues and expenditures as recorded by the County for the General, Debt Service, Environmental Management, Fire Services, Stormwater Services, and American Rescue Plan Act Funds. This information is provided to help keep you abreast of the financial status of the County on a regular basis throughout the fiscal year. Data provided by fund includes: • Actual revenues and expenditures for the previous fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020; • Budget revenues and expenditures for the current fiscal year ending June 30, 2022; • Actual revenues and expenditures as of the end of the quarter for select fiscal years; • Percentage of actual revenues/expenditures received/spent for the same period the previous fiscal years; • Percentage of budget revenues/expenditures received/spent for the current fiscal year; and • Graphical comparison of actual amounts as a percent of budget for all fiscal years presented. GENERAL FUND HIGHLIGHTS: • Ad valorem tax collections through the second quarter are approximately 78.8% of budgeted amounts which is consistent with the previous year. • Sales taxes are received from the State two and one half months following the month in which they are collected by the vendors across North Carolina. Thus, three months of sales tax has been received through the second quarter and totals $20.3 million, representing 29% of budgeted sales tax. This is higher than the last two fiscal years. • Other Taxes exceed prior year collections in both the dollar and in the percentage of collection through the second quarter at $4 million, or 76.6% of budget. This is primarily due to real property transfer taxes being higher than anticipated. • Operating expenditures through the second quarter are lower as a percent of budget spent in most County functions, ranging from 37% to 50% of annual budgeted amount with the exception of expenditures for Economic & Physical Development which are not distributed evenly by month and represent 65.8% of budget. DEBT SERVICE FUND HIGHLIGHTS: • Ad valorem tax collections through the second quarter generated by the 4.46 cent dedicated tax rate was approximately $16.8 million, which is higher than the last two years. • Debt service is paid from this fund when those payments come due and equates to $37 million through quarter two. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT FUND HIGHLIGHTS: • Charges for Services is lower than prior year at $7.4 million collected through the second quarter. This equates to 40.4% of the budgeted charges for services compared to prior year at 43.1 % of total annual charges for services. • Operating expenditures as a percent of budget were 36.9% which is less than prior year at 54.5%. Hurricane expenses, debt service and capital expenses occur when related capital assets are needed and payments are due. FIRE SERVICES FUND HIGHLIGHTS: • Collections of ad valorem tax of $10.9 million are higher than prior year and represent 82.3% of budgeted ad valorem revenue. • Sales taxes are received from the State two and one half months following the month in which they are collected by the vendors across North Carolina. Thus, three months of sales tax has been received through the second quarter and represent 29.5% of budgeted sales tax, which is higher than prior year. • Operating expenses as a percent of budget are slightly lower than prior year at 63.4% of budgeted expenses, while salaries are slightly higher at 47%. • Debt service and capital expenses occur when related capital assets are needed and payments are due. STORMWATER SERVICES FUND HIGHLIGHTS: • Collection of stormwater fees have been combined with the tax collection process, meaning stormwater fees are included on property tax bills and collected by the New Hanover County Tax department. For the first two quarters of the year there has been $614k, or 92.3% of budgeted fees, collected. • Salary expense spent for the first two quarters represent 28% of budget, while operating expenses were 37% of budget. AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT FUND HIGHLIGHTS: • Program expenses for the first two quarters represent $5.5 million, of which the majority of those expenses, or 59%, related to business and employment assistance.

RE: North Carolina Azalea Festival 75"' Coronation, Wednesday, April 6, 2022 December 14, 2021 Dear Mayor Saffo and Commissioner Chair Olson-Boseman: The North Carolina Azalea Festival contributes significant benefits to the City of Wilmington and New Hanover County. An independent study completed in 2011 by the University of North Carolina Wilmington found the Festival's economic impact to be over $50 million annually. In 2022, the Azalea Festival will be celebrating its 75th anniversary. This, coupled with the return to a "normal" April Azalea Festival for the first time since 2019 (pre-Covid) is cause for huge honor and recognition in the City and County. The Azalea Festival plans to make its first event Festival week, the Queen's Coronation, a huge "Welcome back/let's celebrate 75" party for the community. The vision is to have the Coronation live at Live Oak Bank Pavilion Riverfront Park at 7 pm, also televised live by Festival partner WWAY. The Coronation will be approximately an hour long, showcasing local talent as well as that of our Invited Guests and Queen. Immediately after the Coronation will be a public Meet & Greet with Festival Guests. At approximately 9 pm, a nationally headlining musical act will take the stage. It is the Festival's intent that this be a community give -back event. As such, the goal is to keep ticket prices at or under $15.00/each. We also have plans to give approximately 400 tickets to our valued health care workers as a thank you for their pandemic work. We also have plans to invite all former Festival Presidents (all volunteers) to attend the event. This truly will be an all -community celebration!
