ADOPTED this the 23rd day of January, 2023 NEW HANOVER COUNTY William E. Rivenbark, Chair ATTEST: Kymberleigh G. Crowell, Clerk to the Board Board of Commissioners - January 23, 2023 ITEM: 2 - 1 - 1 NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION MEETING DATE: 1/23/2023 Consent DEPARTMENT: County Manager PRESENTER(S): Eric Credle, Chief Financial Officer CONTACT(S): Eric Credle SU BJ ECT: Final Approval for Authority to Purchase Property Located at 1605 Robin Hood Road, Wilmington BRIEF SUMMARY: At the September 19, 2022 Board of Commissioners Meeting, the board provided the authority to purchase the land and building located at 1605 Robin Hood Road, Wilmington for the purpose of establishing a medical detox and crisis stabilization facility. The County has been without such a facility since The Harbor closed in 2021. This location is near the hospital and is the site of a former senior rest home called Sherwood Manor. The building has approximately 13,900 square feet, which would potentially include 16 beds for detox services and 20 beds for transitional housing. After an acquisition of this property, it is expected that the county would coordinate with Trillium, LI NC and RHA Health to plan for renovations to the property and to structure the logistics of its operations. The authority to purchase the property was at a price not to exceed $1.65 million, subject to receipt of a satisfactory appraisal and a building condition assessment. An appraisal of the property has been received, which indicates a value of $1.49 million, or 9.7% lower than the proposed purchase price. This compares to the property tax value of $2.1 million. A building condition assessment has also been received, which, as expected, indicates that significant renovations are necessary. The estimated cost to renovate the building for its intended purpose is $6.1 million, with Trillium/RHA expected to contribute $1.5 million and LINC expected to contribute $900,000 of those costs. If the purchase of this property is completed, it is anticipated that staff will recommend at a future meeting that the county's estimated $3.7 million portion of the renovation costs be funded with existing funds in the Mental & Behavioral Health Fund. If today's motion is passed and the contingencies are resolved, the anticipated closing date is on or before March 1, 2023.

Subject to acceptable due diligence, which has now been substantially completed, in October 2022 the board approved the purchase upon receiving a request from Cape Fear Community College (CFCC) that the county consider the purchase of this property to provide CFCC with the ability to expand its nursing and other allied health programs. Like the rest of the nation, the county is experiencing nursing shortages. With an expansion to CFCC's nursing program, along with developing more allied health professionals, it was concluded that the purchase of this building would be a positive step in the future health care of the county's citizens, as well as providing the private sector with talent to fill higher - wage jobs. Upon the purchase of the building, it is proposed that the county and CFCC enter into a lease of the property. A full draft of the lease agreement is attached for review, with significant terms including: • A term of approximately nine and one-half years, from February 20, 2023 to July 31, 2032. • Annual lease payments of $1.00 per year. • The property is required to be used for the purpose of enhancing CFCC's nursing and allied health instructional progra ms. • CFCC will remit the "net rent proceeds" related to tenants currently in the building, with net rent proceeds generally meaning the rent collected by CFCC, less expenses incurred in the operation and management of the property. • Once the rent proceeds are inadequate to satisfy the operating costs of the property, the county will comply with NC General Statutes to ensure CFCC has adequate funds to meet its financial needs for the operation of the property. • The county will be responsible for major repairs, replacements, and other capital expenditures. • A without cause, termination for convenience provision effective upon 365 days prior written notice, provided that CFCC shall be entitled to complete any teaching program that is in process as of the notice of termination, not to exceed two years from the notice of termination. The lease must also be approved by the State Board of Community Colleges prior to execution, which is expected to occur on February 19, 2023. Consistent with an interlocal agreement that was approved by the board in November 2022, it is anticipated that upon satisfaction of financing associated with the purchase of the building that the county will convey the property to CFCC, provided that the property is being used as intended.

Our recommendations for the conservation of your records include deacidification, adhesive removal and reinforcement of paper as necessary (with repair or replacement of index tabs where indicated) resewing, rebinding or archival grade polyester encapsulation, as appropriate. The deacidification process, which halts the inevitable self-destruction of acidic paper, should be considered whenever conservation or even long term storage of unique records is evaluated. Kofile Preservation has specialized in the deacidification (chemical treatment) and repair of public records since 1974. During this time we have performed conservation services for over 3000 municipal and county records management facilities. Deacidification will be performed after careful testing of paper and inks. Aqueous or non -aqueous deacidification methods will be determined by the conservation lab professionals. All pressure sensitive adhesive materials are removed. Mending is done using Japanese tissue and reversible adhesives. Books are resewn with linen thread and bound in leather or other cover material of choice using acid -free materials and easily reversible adhesives. Where appropriate, archival grade polyester envelope encapsulation with placement of materials into custom post binders replaces rebinding. Please contact us at 804-564-1231 with any questions or comments or to arrange transportation of your documents. Sincerely, Greg Brooks 7903 Thomdike Road. 5var oQW1M46Qior%0b6-AMQky 2,-2V2,S327 jv: v.kofile.11s ITEM: 5 - 2 - 10 Page 1 of 4 Conservation Proposal —2022 New Hanover Army & Navy Discharges 2 $1,740.00 New Hanover Army & Navy Discharges 8 $1,810.00 New Hanover Army & Navy Discharges 12 $1,665.00 New Hanover Army & Navy Discharges 13 $1,495.00 New Hanover Army & Navy Discharges 14 $1,600.00 New Hanover Records 51 $3,498.00 New Hanover Records 251 $3,012.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1926-1953-Grantee A $748.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1926-1953-Grantee Ba-BI $2,002.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1926-1953-Grantee Bo-Bz $1,820.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1926-1953-Grantee Ca-Ci $2,756.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1926-1953-Grantee Co-Cz $2,275.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1926-1953-Grantee D $1,014.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1926-1953-Grantee E-F $2,548.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1926-1953-Grantee G $1,612.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1926-1953-Grantee Ha -Hi $2,132.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1926-1953-Grantee Ho -Hz $1,859.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1926-1953-Grantee I-J $1,729.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1926-1953-Grantee K-L $3,367.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1926-1953-Grantee M $2,535.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1926-1953-Grantee N-O $1,287.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1926-1953-Grantee P-Q $2,483.00 New Hanover Index to !Zeal Estate 1926-1953-Grantee R $1,573.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1926-1953-Grantee Sa-Si $1,560.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1926-1953-Grantee Sm-Sz $2,132.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1926-1953-Grantee W $3,133.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1926-1953-Grantee T-Z $2,015.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1926-1953-Grantor A $1,282.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1926-1953-Grantor Ba-Bi $1,970.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1926-1953-Grantor Bo-Bz $2,191.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1926-1953-Grantor Ca-Ci $2,080.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1926-1953-Grantor Co-Cz $1,671,00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1926-1953-Grantor D $2,002.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1926-1953-Grantor E-F $2,873.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1926-1953-Grantor G $1,859.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1926-1953-Grantor Ha -Hi $2,197.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1926-1953-Grantor Ho -Hz $1,573.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1926-1953-Grantor I-J $1,047.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1926-1953-Grantor K-L $2,782.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1926-1953-Grantor M $4,082.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1926-1953-Grantor N-O $1,573.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1926-1953-Grantor P-Q $2,379.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1926-1953-Grantor R $2,139.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1926-1953-Grantor Sa-Si $2,132.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1926-1953-Grantor Sm-Sz $2,262.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1926-1953-Grantor W $3,614.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1926-1953-Grantor T-Z $2,548.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1954-1977-Grantee A-Bn $2,314.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1954-1977-Grantee Bo-Bz $2,093.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1954-1977-Grantee Ca-Cd $2,990.00 7903 Thoradike Road. if IJf tCWMifjajong(Y(�.{31jgmary 336-2@ 2-3327 tyww.kofile.us ITEM: 5 - 2 - 11 Page 2 of 4 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1954-1977-Grantee Ce-Cz $3,893.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1954-1977-Grantee D-E $1,651.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1954-1977-Grantor A-Bd $1,859.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1954-1977-Grantor Be -St $2,171.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1954-1977-Grantor Bu-Cd --$2,015.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1954-1977-Grantor Ce-Cz $2,457.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1954-1977-Grantor D-E $2,145.00 New Hanover Index to Real Estate 1954-1977-Grantor F $1,716.00 TOTAL FOR CONSERVATION ...................$124,960.00 GENERAL OVERVIEW: Condition: The majority of the collection is in fair to poor condition and consists of mainley oversized documents.

ATTACHMENTS: Legislative Priorities Resolution COUNTY MANAGER'S COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: (only Manager) Recommend approval. COMMISSIONERS' ACTIONS: Approved with one additional priority 5-0. Board of Commissioners - January 23, 2023 ITEM: 8 NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES RESOLUTION WHEREAS, several legislative priorities have been identified by the board that are important to the citizens of New Hanover County; and WHEREAS, the board will advance these legislative priorities through dialogue and, as appropriate, at the annual legislative conferences of the N.C. Association of County Commissioners (NCACC) and National Association of Counties (NACo); and WHEREAS, none of the legislative priorities are in conflict with NCACC or NACo priorities; and WHEREAS, the board supports the state identifying a recurring source of funding of at least $25 million annually to the beach nourishment fund created by the General Assembly in 2018 to support ongoing coastal storm damage reduction (CSDR) projects. New Hanover County and other coastal communities can best plan and prioritize local budget needs with dedicated, annual allocations of state support those communities can use for planning, current projects, or future projects. The board further finds that protecting coastal infrastructure provides a benefit to the entire state of North Carolina, as public or private interests from nearly every North Carolina county own coastal property. The board further supports continued federal and state funding of congressionally approved CSDR projects for Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach, and Kure Beach; and WHEREAS, the board supports the commitment of necessary federal and state resources to fund the replacement of the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge. The bridge was built in 1969 and its age and ongoing maintenance expenses are inadequate to meet future growth; and WHEREAS, the board supports the state and federal governments establishing formal standards for perfluorinated chemicals (PFOA and PFOS) and establishing and enforcing health advisory standards for emerging contaminants to ensure drinking water quality. The board further supports legislation or action to hold polluters financially responsible for cleanup and remediation of these chemicals in drinking water and supports a state appropriation to complete the Lower Cape Fear Water and Sewer Authority raw water transmission line; and WHEREAS, the board supports administrative and legislative changes to federal agencies and regulations, including but not limited to, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the U.S. Housing and Urban Development Administration (HUD), that would accelerate the flow of aid to local governments to respond to natural disasters and other emergencies. The board finds that timely disbursement of federal aid would accelerate the recovery process, provide rapid stabilization, and bolster future resiliency; and WHEREAS, the board supports recurring and increased funding for the state's film grant program to continue attracting film projects that move rapidly and consider numerous locations for productions. The film industry supports nearly 1,000 local jobs and is a significant contributor to the county's economy. The board further encourages legislative efforts and opportunities to improve or expand the program; and WHEREAS, the board supports a statewide school capital commitment of no less than $2 billion at the earliest possible time in accordance with state statutes. New Hanover County and its school system have Board of Commissioners - January 23, 2023 ITEM: 8 - 1 - 1 identified more than $400 million of school construction and maintenance needs over the next several years. The taxpayers of the county are best served if the state authorizes a statewide school capital commitment with a fair share allocated to New Hanover County schools to aid in its real and pronounced school construction needs; and WHEREAS, the board supports the state returning to the original Education Lottery formula that set aside 40 percent for capital needs. The state currently caps the amount of lottery funds that go toward the Public School Building Capital Fund at $100 million annually. Returning to the originally conceived formula would net almost $400 million for critical school infrastructure needs; and WHEREAS, the board supports a federally supported expansion of Medicaid to insure those not eligible for subsidies through the federal healthcare exchange. As many as 16,000 uninsured New Hanover County residents could receive health coverage through Medicaid expansion. The board finds that Medicaid expansion would lead to fair, equitable and cost-effective health care services for those whose employers do not provide health insurance; and WHEREAS, the board supports increased federal and state funding to address mental health and substance use disorder support and treatment; and WHEREAS, the board supports the state reinstating its financial support for drug treatment courts. The county has operated a drug treatment court successfully since the state withdrew funding for treatment courts in 2011 by fully funding, at an expense of more than $1.5 million since 2011, and staffing a drug treatment and DWI court for county residents. Treatment courts are an extension of the judicial system, and the state has the primary duty to fund the court system and its associated services; and WHEREAS, the board supports fair and equitable funding through the N.C. Department of Transportation for infrastructure to support New Hanover County's transportation needs as the county continues to rapidly grow. The board finds that appropriate DOT support and developing additional and alternative revenue sources beyond fuel taxes, will help provide the necessary infrastructure to accommodate an increasing population and address the board's priorities to encourage an increased stock of affordable and workplace housing. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners considers these, among others, as important priorities for representatives at the state and federal level to address in 2023 and 2024.

(CPE-NC) began monitoring seven tidal creeks within New Hanover County on a monthly basis in November 2007. The creeks included in this study are Pages, Futch, Lords, Mott, Barnards, Smith, and Prince George. Beginning this program year, the mainly undeveloped watershed of Island Creek in northern New Hanover County was added to gain a baseline assessment of the watershed prior to future development. I n addition, three sampling sites from within the freshwater pond at Airlie Gardens are monitored. Physical and biological parameter data is collected at each of the tidal creek sampling locations. Physical parameters include temperature, salinity, conductivity, pH, turbidity, and dissolved oxygen. Biological parameters include chlorophyll -a and Enterococci. At Airlie Gardens, physical parameters as well as chemical parameters including orthophosphate and nitrate/nitrite are monitored, Enterococci samples are not collected at Airlie Gardens. The information included in the annual report focuses on the results of the monitoring period that took place from J my 2021 through June 2022. Long term trends have also been assessed using data obtained since 2007. The purpose of this presentation is for CPE-NC staff to present data from the FY 2021-2022 monitoring program and long term trends. In general, the dissolved oxygen levels within each creek have not changed notably from year to year and continue to be non -problematic, though dissolved oxygen levels within Prince George Creek have been consistently low, which may be attributed to the natural slow moving water of the creek. Turbidity has slightly increased in several creeks since 2008 but overall, turbidity levels remain non -problematic. Levels of chlorophyll -a in all watersheds have remained consistent and show no signs for concern. Overall, Enterococci bacteria levels during the 2021-2022 sampling for the majority of the watersheds remained the same with the exception at Mott Creek, where levels have improved. Enterococci bacteria has had a history of elevated levels that have been of carefully monitored in Mott, Pages, Barnards, Smith, and Prince George creeks. Lords Creek and Futch Creek, on average, have contained relatively lower bacteria levels compared to the other creeks. As an ongoing effort to identify the source of bacteria in the Pages Creek watershed, this program year staff has worked with CPE to perform additional water quality testing, which indicated there were Enterococci bacteria in the water coming from groundwater seeps flowing from the creek bank adjacent to two water quality monitoring sites (BDUS, BDDS). These seep areas were identified from the thermal imagery study conducted last year. Additional samples from those seeps were sent to a laboratory to test for a human signature which suggested that while the samples contained bacteria, they did not have any or enough of the human marker tested to result in a quantifiable significant amount. At this time, the Cape Fear Public Utility Authority is currently visually inspecting their infrastructure in the Bayshore community using closed circuit television to identify any deficiencies in the Board of Commissioners - January 23, 2023 ITEM: 10 infrastructure.

New Hanover County Water Quality Monitoring Program: 2021- 2022 Final Report. New Hanover County, North Carolina: Coastal Protection Engineering of North Carolina, Inc. September 2022 Board of ComrUsF,649- January 23, 2023 ITEM: 10- 1 - 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report represents the findings of the New Hanover County Water Quality Monitoring Program for the period July 2021 to June 2022. The results and long-term trends presented in this report are described from a watershed perspective. Since 2007 the county has partnered with Coastal Protection Engineering of North Carolina to test water quality at nineteen monitoring stations within seven tidal creeks in New Hanover County. The creeks monitored include Barnards, Futch, Lords, Mott, Pages, Prince George, Smith, and Island. This monitoring period (2021-2022) included the addition of one station at Island Creek to capture baseline data since future development is expected within the watershed. Each creek is monitored monthly for physical, chemical, and biological parameters that indicate overall water quality. The objective is to evaluate the current parameters at each creek to determine the impact (if any) of the built environment on water quality. In addition to the raw sampling results, a general assessment of the water quality is provided for each watershed. The general assessment gives each parameter the rating of either "Good", "Fair", or "Poor" depending on the percentage of samples that went above the State standard for turbidity, chlorophyll -a, and Enterococci, or below the State standard for dissolved oxygen. If the recorded value of a parameter went outside the acceptable range of the State standard less than 10% of the times sampled the watershed will receive a "Good" rating, a "Fair" rating 11%-25% of the times sampled, or a "Poor" rating for greater than 25% of the sampling times. Ratings by watershed during the 2021-2022 reporting period Prince Barnards Futch Island Lords Mott Pages Smith George Creek Creek Creek Creek Creek Creek Creek Parameter Creek Turbidity GOOD GOOD GOOD GOOD GOOD GOOD GOOD GOOD Dissolved FAIR GOOD FAIR GOOD GOOD FAIR POOR GOOD Oxygen Chlorophyll -a GOOD GOOD GOOD GOOD GOOD GOOD GOOD GOOD Enterococci GOOD GOOD I GOOD I GOOD I GOOD POOR FAIR GOOD Long Term Trends Dissolved oxygen, turbidity, and chlorophyll -a levels fluctuate on a seasonal basis where, typically, levels decrease in the winter and increase in the summer. In general, turbidity and chlorophyll -a levels over time have not been of concern. Likewise, dissolved oxygen levels have not changed drastically from year to year and there have been minimal issues with low dissolved oxygen levels except for Prince George Creek where levels have been consistently low over time. This is due to its naturally slow water flow, which is more characteristic of swamp -like waters. Slower moving waters typically have lower dissolved oxygen levels. Overall, Enterococci bacteria levels during the 2021-2022 sampling for the majority of the watersheds remained the same with the exception Mott Creek which saw an improvement. There is a history of elevated levels of Enterococci bacteria that have been of carefully monitored over the years within Mott, Pages, Barnards, Smith, and Prince George creeks. Lords Creek and Futch Creek, on average, have contained relatively lower bacteria levels compared to the other creeks. Board of ComrQ Vs iq- January 23, 2023 ITEM] 10- 1 - 2 It should be noted that monitoring at Island Creek began this year, hence, long-term trends are not available and have not been included in this report. In addition to monitoring the tidal creeks, in 2015 New Hanover County began monthly testing at the lake at Airlie Gardens due to concerns of water quality and noticeable algal blooms that had occurred over the years. The lake drains directly into Bradley Creek, close to the Intracoastal Waterway. There are three sampling sites located where contributing water enters the lake (intake), in the middle of the lake, and at the outfall before the water enters Bradley Creek. Since 2015, water quality monitoring has shown that dissolved oxygen varies significantly over an annual basis, increasing during the warmer summer months and decreasing during the colder winter months. Overall, there are no current concerns with the dissolved oxygen levels. Over the past seven years, the levels of the nutrient Nitrite/Nitrate have generally been higher at the intake compared to the sampling sites located at the middle and at the outfall of the lake. This orthophosphate trend was observed during the first three years of monitoring, however, over the past two years this trend has reversed, where orthophosphate was lower at the intake and higher in the middle and the outfall of the lake. High concentrations of orthophosphate and Nitrite/Nitrate have been linked to algae growth leading to algal blooms which can cause low dissolved oxygen and a decline in overall water quality. Since monitoring began, it has been observed that levels of orthophosphate have incrementally increased each year. Nitrate/Nitrite levels have also increased over time, however not in the same linear fashion as orthophosphate. Chlorophyll -a levels are also indicative of the presence of algal blooms. In recent years levels have increased at the middle and outfall of the lake compared to the sampling location in proximity to the intake into the lake. In general, Chlorophyll -a levels have steadily increased within the lake over time since sampling began in 2015. Improvement Efforts While urbanization and development can be factors that can impact water quality, the ratings for many water quality parameters as depicted in this report have improved or remained steady over the past several years. This suggests that even though the unincorporated portions of New Hanover County continue to build out, there are factors minimizing the impact to water quality. While these factors facilitating this trend have not been identified, several notable efforts maybe contributing to these improvements. Efforts made by New Hanover County over the years to improve water quality include property acquisition using grant and trust fund sources, working with the Cape Fear Public Utility Authority (CFPUA) to test sewer infrastructure, the installation of stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) such as raingardens, infiltration basins, and impervious surface retrofits, and bacteria source tracking. In 2008, New Hanover County partnered with University of North Carolina Wilmington's Center for Marine Science and Coastal Protection Engineering of North Carolina, Inc. to conduct DNA source tracking which led to the identification of a human source for the bacteria in Pages Creek. This suggested that the source of the bacteria in the creek was from nearby wastewater infrastructure such as septic tanks systems and/or the municipal sewer system. Following the report, the New Hanover County Planning & Land Use department partnered with the Cape Fear Public Utility Authority and the New Hanover County Health department to search for leaking septic or sewer, however, that investigation did not find the source of Board of ComrQViq- January 23, 2023 ITEMji10- 1 - 3 contamination. In 2013 the county partnered with the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill to expand the source tracking and conducted a study on the enterococci bacteria in Mott and Smith creeks and again at Pages Creek. That study found the presence of a human signature in the bacteria for all three creeks. In an attempt to identify any possible sources of bacteria entering Pages Creek, in 2019 New Hanover County partnered with the University of North Carolina Wilmington's (UNCW) Socio-Environmental Analysis Laboratory and Coastal Protection Engineering (CPE) of North Carolina to conduct a thermal imagery scan of two portions of the creek adjacent to monitoring sites that have consistently detected elevated levels of Enterococci bacteria. Following the flight, UNCW and CPE analyzed the imagery and two areas that showed uncommon differences in temperature variation were identified. Ground truthing these areas revealed several subterranean groundwater seeps entering the creek from the streambank in the vicinity of sewer lift stations. In June and July of 2022 planning staff, CPE, and the Cape Fear Public Utility Authority coordinated to perform additional testing of the seep water coming from the creek bank in these two locations that identified Enterococci bacteria in the water. Additional laboratory analysis was conducted of samples collected from the seeps which resulted in the non - detection of a human marker at the Pages Creek down -steam site (PC-BDDS) and unquantifiable from the up -stream site (PC-BDUS). The results from the additional testing and indicator analysis can be found in Appendix D of this report. At Airlie Gardens, to help combat problems associated with eutrophication and overall water quality the Park and Gardens department has implemented initiatives identified in their stormwater master plan. These initiatives include installing several aerators in the lake to increase the dissolved oxygen levels, restore a wetland area near the entry point where water enters the lake and the completion of a dredging operation effectively removing approximately 4,000 cubic yards of bottom sediment and material. The county continues to monitor the lake as it may take several years for a data trend to emerge. Data from this past year has not shown a reduction in nutrient loading into the lake.

New Hanover County's (NHC) location is unique since with the exception of the northeastern boundary, it is surrounded by water on three sides; on the north and south by the Northeast Cape Fear River, on the west by the Cape Fear River, and on the east by the Atlantic Ocean. It is primarily a coastal county containing many creeks, streams, and water bodies that provide the opportunities for a wide range of recreational activities for thousands of local citizens and visiting tourists yearly. Due to its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, NHC's tidal creeks are not only used for recreation but are an important resource for the natural environment as they provide habitats for various plant and animal species. Tidal creeks are rich areas in terms of aquatic, terrestrial, and avian wildlife and can support complex food webs (Odum et al., 1984; Kwak and Zedle,1997). Therefore, protection of the water quality within these creeks is a high priority for the county. Water quality has been monitored in New Hanover County since the early 1970s by the State in efforts to study the impacts of adjacent septic systems on water quality in tidal creeks. An increase in the closure of tidal creeks for shellfishing became an early concern for the citizens of New Hanover County and was a topic included in early land use plans. The ongoing water quality conversation within the community led to several watershed plans and in 1993, New Hanover County and the City of Wilmington partnered with the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW) to conduct a long-standing water quality monitoring program. However, in November 2007, Coastal Protection Engineering of North Carolina, Inc. (CPE) began a separate, monthly water quality monitoring program on behalf of New Hanover County for the tidal creeks within the unincorporated parts of the County. The information presented in this report focuses on the results of this monitoring from July 2021 to June 2022. The creeks included in this study are Pages and Futch, which drain into the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (ICW), Island Creek, which drains into the Northeast Cape Fear River and Lords, Mott, Barnards, Smith, and Prince George, which drain into the Cape Fear River (Figure 1). In addition to the continued sampling from the seven tidal creeks, three sampling sites from within Airlie Gardens have been monitored since 2015. The results described in this report represent the physical, biological, and chemical data collected monthly from all sampling sites from July 2021 through June 2022. These results are organized by watershed alphabetically, with the results of the eight tidal creeks presented first, followed by the results from Airlie Gardens. Additional creek data, including parameters not summarized in this section, from the tidal creeks sampling sites and the Airlie Garden sampling sites can be found in Appendix A. Based on the raw data, a quantitative system assigns a rating of "Good", "Fair", or "Poor" to a sampling station depending on the percentage of samples that went above the State standard for turbidity, chlorophyll -a, Enterococci, or below the State standard for dissolved oxygen. If the recorded value of a parameter went outside the acceptable range of the State standard less than 10% of the times sampled the station will receive a "Good" rating, a "Fair" rating 11%-25% of the times sampled, or a "Poor" rating for greater than 25% of the sampling times. This general description is useful when looking at trends from year to year and across the entire time frame of the program. Ratings for all parameters can be found in the Discussion section below.

The new Government Center building is located at the same site as the existing Government Center building. One of the uses of the new Government Center building was to be the home for the county's Board of Elections, which was temporarily relocated from the Government Center location to the Northeast Library during the construction of the new Government Center building. As the final design and operational considerations of the new Government Center were finalized, staff concluded that the new building was not optimal for the specialized needs of the Board of Elections, which would have resulted in inefficiencies and inconveniences for both election officials and the voting public, including an inconvenient process for curbside voting. For many of those same reasons, staff also concluded that the current space being occupied in the Northeast Library was not a satisfactory permanent location. Accordingly, it was determined that the county would be best served by the construction of a stand-alone, purpose- built facility on excess land located at the new Government Center site. The proposed design of the dedicated building consists of approximately 7,500 square feet and includes a lobby, conference room, offices, workstations, hoteling space, a mail -in ballot room, secure storage and a large one -stop voting space. I n addition, the exterior includes a large canopy to provide protection from the elements for the curbside voting process. The proposed amendment to the Original Agreement to include this new building includes an upward adjustment to the guaranteed maximum price of $5,594,881, which includes $236,404 in additional development fees, and contemplates that the same pro rata share of cost savings if the project is completed under -budget, with the county being entitled to 80% of the savings and 10% each for Cape Fear and the general contractor. If approved, construction is expected to begin in three to four months. A public notice describing this amendment and providing notice of the public hearing was published in the Star News on December 23, 2022. The $5,594,881 increase in cost was included in the county's 2022-2023 adopted budget as a capital improvement plan item and is expected to be financed with long-term debt. A budget amendment is also proposed to transfer this project amount from the Capital Improvement Projects Capital Project fund to the Government Center Redevelopment Board of Commissioners - January 23, 2023 ITEM: 11 Capital Project.

Crowell, Clerk to the Board Board of Commissioners - January 23, 2023 ITEM: 11- 4 - 2 NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION MEETING DATE: 1/23/2023 Regular DEPARTMENT: County PRESENTER(S): Donna Fayko, HHS Director; Sara Warmuth, Chief Facilities Officer; Ed Manager McMahon, Sheriff; Chris Coudriet, County Manager CONTACT(S): Chris Coudriet, County Manager SU BJ ECT: Update on Street Outreach and Adoption of Amendment to New Hanover County Code of Ordinances Chapter 38 BRIEF SUMMARY: On September 19, 2022, the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners approved the comprehensive program, known as Getting Home, to address homelessness within the City of Wilmington. This program has paired social workers from the New Hanover County Department of Social Services with law enforcement officers from the City of Wilmington police department. Although this program is experiencing success, the county is still facing challenges at its property bordered by Third, Grace, Chestnut, and Second Streets. These challenges include, but are not limited to, alleged criminal activity, littering, and use of outdoor and parking deck areas as restrooms. In order to better address these challenges, county staff would like to propose amending Chapter 38 of the New Hanover County Code of Ordinances. Following is a summary of the amendment: • Sleeping on county property will be prohibited from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. • Items left unattended are subject to disposal. • Parking decks and parking lots are for parking and associated activities only. • Entrances to county facilities and associated areas are for ingress and egress only. • This ordinance will apply to all county owned and leased properties. • Parts of this ordinance do not apply to emergency management sheltering events, county employees in the performance of their job duties, and the general public within a county facility for the purpose of transacting business. • Exceptions to this ordinance can be made by the county manager or their designee. This ordinance will aid the county in keeping its properties safe, properly maintained, and attractive. If adopted, community outreach will take place to ensure potentially impacted parties are aware of the ordinance so they can comply before enforcement takes place. Because this item is the adoption of an ordinance without a public hearing, it is required that the approval be by unanimous vote in order to forgo a second reading and approval. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: • Superior Public Health & Safety o Sustain the community capacity to prepare for and respond to public safety demands Board of Commissioners - January 23, 2023 ITEM: 12 Collaborate to optimize system -wide responses and outcomes Reduce or prevent community risks RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Hear presentation and adopt the proposed ordinance amendment. ATTACHMENTS: Proposed Ordinance Amendment COUNTY MANAGER'S COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: (only Manager) Recommend approval. COMMISSIONERS' ACTIONS: Heard presentation and adopted the proposed ordinance amendment 4-1, Commissioner Barfield dissenting. Since the vote was not unanimous, the board directed staff to bring it back for a second reading on February 6, 2023. Board of Commissioners - January 23, 2023 ITEM: 12 NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ORDINANCE AMENDING NEW HANOVER COUNTY CODE CHAPTER 38 WHEREAS, the intent of this ordinance, in conjunction with other county efforts through its Health and Human Services Department, is to provide for the safety and health of all its community members and to aid in keeping its properties safe, properly maintained, and attractive.
