SUBJECT:
Request Commissioners Ratify Grant Application to the NC Health and Wellness Trust Fund Commission in the
amount of $40,000 to Fund the Medication Assistance Program (MAP) - Phase III
BRIEF SUMMARY:
The Department of Aging requests the Commissioners ratify its application to the NC Health and Wellness Trust Fund
Commission in the amount of $40,000 to fund continuation of the Medication Assistance Program (MAP) - Phase III for 18
months. The Medication Assistance Program assists persons under age 65 in locating free or low cost medication from
pharmaceutical companies, and helps persons over age 65 transition into an appropriate Medicare Part D prescription drug
plan.
The Department of Aging has operated a Medication Assistance Program for three years. The Council of Governments was
the applicant for the previous three grants which covered a four county area. The Council of Governments will not be
applying for Phase III as the counties are eligible for larger grants if they apply separately. The Department of Aging has a
staff person in place who is trained and is in position to continue the work required of this program. The new Phase III grant
will be a continuation of the existing Medication Assistance Program. The deadline for the application was April 17, 2006.
Grant funds will cover the cost of salary for one temporary staff person (30 hours per week) and operating expenses.
The Medication Assistance Program Grant does not require a County match. The program is entirely grant supported.
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
Recommend the County Commissioners ratify the submission of the grant application to the NC Health and Wellness Trust
fund Commission and approve appropriate budget amendments.

Department: Museum Presenter: Ruth Haas

SUBJECT:
Museum Deaccessions
BRIEF SUMMARY:
Following the completion of the 100% audit of the Museum collection in 2002, the Museum staff and the Museum Advisory
Board have been diligent about culling from the collections items that have no relevant provenance, are in very poor
condition, or are duplicates. This process is a recommended step in effective collections management. The items
recommended for deaccession have all been reviewed by the Curator, Director, Collections Committee, and Museum
Advisory Board.
Recommendations for disposition are also provided. In some instances, if the original donor can be contacted, the item is
offered for return; Contracts of Gifts are explicit that this will not normally occur. Many of the items on the list are identified
for transfer to the Demonstration Collection where they can be used in educational programs or for hands-on exhibits.
Some items may have historical value, but they are of little value to support our particular mission. These may be listed on
a Museum List sponsored by the American Association of Museums. The attached deaccession list includes three
donations which we expect to transfer to the Onslow County Museum. They are looking forward to final approval for this
transfer to occur. When no reuse can be identified, the object is destroyed.
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
Accept the recommendations of the Museum Advisory Board to deaccession the attached list of items from the Museum's
Permanent Collection.

Fort Fisher Basin CAMA Beach Access Grant Final Application
Description of Project
New Hanover County has been asked to participate in a partnership seeking to
improve the public access at the south end of Fort Fisher. The access site is
known as the Fort Fisher Basin (the Basin). Donna Moffit with the North Carolina
Aquarium at Fort Fisher has taken the lead in developing this partnership. The
partnership includes the Aquarium, New Hanover County, the Corps of
Engineers, the Coastal Federation, the Wildlife Resources Commission, and
DOT's Ferry Division. Although official figures for visitation to the Basin are not
available, the site is a very popular attraction for residents and visitors alike.
Numerous improvements are planned for the Basin including: organizing traffic
flow, enlarging and paving the parking area, filling low spots, installing
interpretive signage highlighting the historic and natural features on-site,
improving the bulkhead and boat ramp, constructing a separate canoe/kayak
launch area, and improving the breakwater linking Fort Fisher to
Zeke's Island.
New Hanover County has a documented shortage of access locations. The
State provides funds for improving access to our waterways through the CAMA
Access program. Cities and counties in coastal North Carolina are eligible for
this program. The deadline for submittal of a final application is April 28, 2006.
An estimated budget for the costs for the above improvements has been
developed by Gordon Myers of the Wildlife Resources Commission. Costs for
implementing the improvements would be $369,800. The grant program requires
a 25% match. Half of this match can be in-kind and half must be cash. The use
of heavy construction equipment, engineering, planning and other services can
be used in lieu of the cash portion of the required match. We have proposed a
large in-kind match that we hope can offset much of the County's required match.
In addition, involved State agencies have stated that they will take the lead in site
analysis and preparing plans. It is also important to note that involved State
agencies in the Ft. Fisher area have tentatively indicated that they will maintain
the project, e.g. trash collection.

The Good Shepherd Fund, Inc. is a nonprofit board
made up of community members interested in the
prevention of substance abuse. The Good Shepherd Fund,
Inc. began in 1956 as the Good Shepherd Home and Clinic,
Inc. The home was located at Lake Waccamaw and
provided alcoholics with spiritual counseling, physical care,
vocational training, educational and recreational
rehabilitation. Residents of COlunlbJJS, Bladen, Robeson,
New Hanover, Brunswickcounties of N.C. and Horry
) COlll1ty of S.C. were eligible for"services -in the home.. Due
to lack of participation, changes in standards set forth by ,
the state, and increased operational expense the home was
no longer able to remain operational and was sold in 1986.
The money from the sale of the home was placed in a trust
fund until 1999 at which time the funds were reinvested by
Edward Jones Investments. The re- investments of the funds
should increase the funds available to be distributed in the
form of grants as the new investments offer a much higher
degree of income and growth potential than the previous
trust fund offered. The Good Shepherd Fund, Inc. used the
interest money frOlTI the sale of the home to provide grants
to community agencies for substance abuse prevention each
year. The above referenced counties are still served by the
Good Shepherd Fund, Inc.

SUBJECT:
Consideration of a Joint Resolution with the City of Wilmington for Action Regarding the Water and Sewer
Consolidation Process
BRIEF SUMMARY:
The attached resolution reflects the consensus of the County/City Water and Sewer Consolidation Committee, of which
Chairman Greer and Vice-Chairman Caster represent the Board of Commissioners.
The attached resolution would allow the County and City to each contribute $200,000 by interlocal agreement to be
administered by the City to take the following actions for the water and sewer consolidation process.
The County Manager and City Manager will:
Hire a project manager to help direct the consolidation process.
Begin the selection process for a firm to perform a rate feasibility study to focus on how District and City rates can be
merged in the future.
The attached resolution also states the intent of the County and City to form the Authority by July 1 by resolution and by
establishing the articles of incorporation. The attached resolution states that an advisory committee will be formed to help
guide the consolidation process, with the intent to make that group the first Authority Board at a later date. The Board will
not be formally appointed until the actual structure is developed and assets/liabilities can be transferred. It is presently
anticipated that the Authority Board will consist of two elected officials each from the County and City, two appointees each
from the County and City, and one member selected by the other eight Authority members, for a total of nine.
Also attached are Guiding Principles which have been approved by the Consolidation Committee to help the process. At
present, the Consolidation Committee has drafted, but not yet approved, an interlocal agreement between the County and
City to form the Authority and Articles of Incorporation for the Authority. These will be presented at a public hearing before
July 1 and brought to the Board and the Council for approval. A Request for Proposals (RFP) for a rate feasibility analysis,
and an RFP for a project manager have also been drafted by the Consolidation Committee.

Guiding Principles for New Hanover County and City of Wilmington
Water and Sewer Consolidation
1. Both the City and County will be equal partners, e.g. equal representation on the
Authority Board.
2. One goal is to achieve equal rates for both County and City customers, e.g. a six-
year phased equalization process.
3. All County and City water and sewer assets will be transferred to the Authority to
serve the customers for the common good of both localities.
4. All existing County and City employees will be offered a position with the City,
County, or Authority. Retirement benefits will continue with the present
State/Local Government Retirement System or comparable system.
5. The costs to customers for consolidated water and sewer services will not be more
than if the County and City systems remained separate.
6. The geographic jurisdiction of the new Authority initially will consist ofthe City
of Wilmington and the District. Provisions will be made, however, for continued
relations with other jurisdictions through inter-local agreements and for possible
future expansion of the Authority.

RESOLUTION
OF THE
NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
WHEREAS, the N. C. Division of Water Quality and many research organizations have
identified agricultural practices, land disturbing activities performed as part of
commercial, residential and/or industrial development, and runoff from developed
community areas as major sources of non-point water pollution in coastal streams,
estuaries, and bays; and
WHEREAS, partnership programs focused by the Soil and Water Conservation Districts
of the state have shown that a combination of education, outreach and technical
assistance to farmers, and sharing with landowners the cost of installing on farms and
forests best water quality management practices do significantly control sedimentation
and non-point pollution from agricultural lands; and
WHEREAS, by administering provisions ofthe N. C. Erosion and Sediment Control
Act, and by enacting controls in subdivision and other ordinances and building codes,
New Hanover County has installed major controls over erosion and sediment
contributions from new commercial, residential and industrial development; and
WHEREAS, there is, and has been, no comprehensive, statewide program that can focus
education, outreach, technical assistance and cost-sharing in already developed, non-farm
areas; and
WHEREAS, in many areas of the state, managing the quality of storm water runoff in
both incorporated and unincorporated communities where farm and forest land is being
converted to suburban-style development is placing heavy financial burdens on the
affected jurisdictions for both technical expertise and necessary infrastructure; and
WHEREAS, the New Hanover Soil and Water Conservation District in pioneering work
countywide and in the Hewletts Creek watershed, and the N. C. Cooperative Extension
Service in the Burnt Mill Creek watershed, have demonstrated through actual field work
that the education, outreach, technical assistance and financial incentives model found so
effective in the agriculture sector is equally effective in attacking non-point sources of
water pollution in already developed residential and commercial community areas; and
WHEREAS, the North Carolina Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts
has formed a standing Community Conservation Committee and adopted a resolution to
formally request the North Carolina General Assembly to authorize and fund a statewide
Community Conservation Assistance Program.
~.~... ------ ---_._--_.~,-_._----
88
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the New Hanover County Board of
Commissioners urges members of the General Assembly, particularly those representing
New Hanover County, to actively support actions that will authorize and fund the
statewide Community Conservation Districts.
Adopted this, the 18th day of April 2006.

FOR ASOUND ECONOMY
January 9, 2006
During the January 18th meeting of the BASE Board of Directors, the New Hanover Soil
and Water Conservation District's Comnnmity Conservation Assistance Program was
discussed and a position of endorsement considered. It is with great enthusiasm that I
infOnD you that the Board supports your local initiatives to include the installation of best
management practices and stormwater control mechanisms on previously developed
properties, and encourages the necessary funding be provided from the General Assembly
and mechanisms other than from an already overburdened development industry.
Layers of new regulation are continually and readily added to the development process,
yet water quality restoration objectives fail to be accomplished year after year. It has
been the opinion of the Homebuilding, Real Estate and Land Development industries that
additional regulatory and economic burdens placed on new development is simply
turning a blind eye to the real problem; runoff from existing development negatively and
exponentially impacts water quality. For this reason, the BASE Board of Directors
embraces and endorses the New Hanover Soil and Water Conservation District's
Community Conservation Assistance Program that establishes an effective focus on
restoring water quality as a vital part of om region's overall quality of life. Levying the
bmden on any particular industry or segment of the population has proven wholly
unsuccessful. Therefore, we encourage the General Assembly to make appropriations to
such an initiative and illustrate that for every dollar invested in water quality restoration,
one dollar is contributed directly to North Carolina's quality oflife.
Thank you for this opportunity to review and comment on such an initiative as the New
Hanover Soil and Water Conservation District's Community Conservation Assistance
Program, and express with great sincerity our hope that such a program proves a
successful pilot for other Conservation Districts to emulate.
Best wishes,
Sincerely,

TO: New Hanover County Commissioners
FROM: Jean McNeil, Animal Control Services Manager
Holt Moore, Assistant County Attorney (original document revised)
RE: Suggested Animal Control Services Ordinance Revisions
DATE: April 10, 2006
The primary goal of New Hanover County Animal Control Services (ACS) is to
provide a safe community for the citizens and animals of our area. The changes outlined
below reflect careful consideration from each review group to better assist us in the
performance of our duties as a county agency. This is inclusive of those who are pet
owners as well as those who do not have personal companion animals. Each citizen is
served by our division regardless of pet ownership.
The following are suggested changes to the "Animals" section of the New
Hanover County Code, based upon discussions we have had with the ACS staff. We also
met with the members of the ACS Advisory Committee on February 8, 2006, to gain
their input and suggestions. Additional revisions to the changes have been reviewed and
approved by the Executive Committee of the Board of Health on March 28,2006, and the
full Board of Health on April 5, 2006. Comments are listed in the documentation below.
These were compiled as the result of a routine review of the ordinance involving
animals. No changes have been made since I (Jean McNeil) assumed my position as
ACS Manager. These are all considered measures to ensure the safety of the citizens and
pets of our community, so that ACS may better serve our county as a whole.
1. Definition of 'Severe Iniury'
COMMENT
The definition of "severe injury," as it now stands, is "any physical injury that
results in broken bones or lacerations or requires cosmetic surgery or hospitalization, the
cost of such medical treatment exceeding $100.00." The significance of the definition is
that one of the ways in which a dog may be found "dangerous," is if it, without
provocation, "has killed or inflicted severe injury on a person." Also, one of the ways in
which a dog may be found "potentially dangerous," is if it "killed or inflicted severe
injury upon a domestic animal when not on the owner's real property."
The feeling of at least some of the ACS staff is that, given that any injury which
causes broken bones or lacerations is already automatically "severe," that only those
injuries which otherwise require cosmetic surgery or hospitalization which result in
treatment exceeding $200 should qualify. The feeling is that virtually any injury which
---------_.__._-~._...-- ------~---- ~

requires treatment will surpass the $100 mark, and that given the increasing cost of
treatment both to animals and humans, and that if the injury did not cause a laceration or
broken bone, it should require $200 of treatment in order to be considered severe.
The ACS Advisory Committee members felt that the definition could be
simplified to specify a dollar amount only, excluding the verbiage to describe the type of
injury. They also raised the dollar amount to the amount of $250, citing the same
reasoning as the ACS staff about the current cost of treatment.
The Board of Health (BOH) approved this as presented.
SPECIFIC PROPOSED CHANGE:
CURRENT: Sec. 5-61. Definitions.
Severe injury means any physical injury that results in broken bones or lacerations or
requires cosmetic surgery or hospitalization, the cost of such medical treatment exceeding
$100.00.
PROPOSED: Sec. 5-61. Definitions.
Severe injury means any physical injury that results in medical treatment exceeding the
cost of $250.00.
2. Spav/Neuter Requirement Upon Dane:erous Doe: Violation
COMMENT
My understanding is that one or more members of the ACS Advisory Committee,
and one of the County Commissioners, is interested in the prospect of adding spaying or
neutering as an option when a dog is determined to be dangerous or potentially
dangerous. My opinion is that the most legally defensible option along these lines would
be to provide that as an option if the dog is initially determined to be dangerous (as
opposed to potentially dangerous), or in any case in which there is a second violation (i.e.
where there is a violation of the terms of the initial dangerous or potentially dangerous
determination). I believe that having the spaying / neutering option available in cases
where there is an initial "potentially dangerous" determination only, runs the risk of a
successful legal challenge that our punitive measure at that point would be unduly
infringing the owner's property.
BOH members suggested that statistics be provided to support the fact that this is
a necessary addition to the ordinance. In general, ACS has found that the majority of
animals that are declared potentially dangerous are intact dogs. They agreed that this
stipulation should not be a requirement until after the animal has violated the original
determination, giving the owner a chance to correct the dog's behavior by other means.
99
SPECIFIC PROPOSED CHANGE:
CURRENT: Sec. 5-65. Violation of conditions; euthanization.
(a) Animal Control Services may take possession of any dog concerning whom it
has cause to believe an owner has violated section 5-64. For this purpose, the
requirement for sufficient cause shall be satisfied if an officer observes the violation or if
animal control services obtains an affidavit setting forth the violation. An owner who
violates section 5-64 in a willful or negligent manner may be found by the committee to
have forfeited all rights or ownership of the dog; and upon final determination of such
violation, the dog may be humanely euthanized by animal control.
PROPOSED: Sec. 5-65. Violation of conditions; euthanization.
(Sentence to be included in paragraph (a) third sentence.)
(a) Animal Control Services may take possession of any dog concerning whom it
has cause to believe an owner has violated section 5-64. For this purpose, the
requirement for sufficient cause shall be satisfied if an officer observes the violation or if
animal control services obtains an affidavit setting forth the violation. The owner of any
dog that has been declared dangerous that is found in violation of section 5-64 by the
preceding methods must have the dog surgically sterilized. An owner who violates
section 5-64 in a willful or negligent manner may be found by the committee to have
forfeited all rights or ownership of the dog; and upon final determination of such
violation, the dog may be humanely euthanized by animal control.
3. More Specific Kennel Size Information
COMMENT
There is no specific definition regarding kennel size in the current ordinance
document. The ACS Advisory Committee suggested an addition to the law, which will
enable field officers to enforce adequate living quarters for dogs kept outdoors.
The BOH requested that we include the stipulation to include "per dog" for each
kennel specified.
SPECIFIC PROPOSED CHANGE:
PROPOSED: Sec. 5-4. Definitions.
(This definition would be placed after the definition for neutered male.)
Outside enclosure means a pen large enough to provide each dog less than 25
pounds of weight to be housed in space no smaller than an 8 xl 0 foot kennel, and each
dog greater than 25 pounds to be housed in a kennel space of lOx 10 feet or larger.
Animal Control Services reserves the right to determine if a space is considered suitable
for the number and size of dogs housed in an outdoor enclosure.

5. Replace Voice Control with Actual Leash Law in All County Areas
COMMENT
Currently, in order for a dog or cat to be legally "restrained" while not on the
owner's property (no restraint is required while on the owner's property), it must be
controlled by means of a leash, or is sufficiently near the owner or handler to be under his
direct control and is obedient to that person's command, or is on or within a vehicle being
driven or parked, or is within a secure enclosure. There are exceptions for dog shows,
hunting, etc.
H has been suggested, although the Board of Commissioners has not seen fit to
enact such a provision in the past, that perhaps the County has become sufficiently urban
that the option of "voice control" or simply having the animal "sufficiently near the
owner or handler to be under his direct control and is obedient to that person's command"
should be removed, which would leave effectively an on-leash requirement for the
unincorporated county, such as present in the City of Wilmington. Continued urban
growth both inside and outside city limits makes this of greater importance than when it
was first presented.
The BOH had a lively discussion regarding the addition of cats to the ordinance.
A question was raised as to how someone could keep a cat on a leash or not. The intent
of the law is to keep all animals on the property of their owners. Increased urbanization
of the county makes a countywide leash law seem necessary. We have had numerous
complaints about animals (including dogs and cats) running-at-large, which prompted us
to pursue this important public safety issue. We police behind numerous bites to
quarantine animals, and the major number of these are due to animals that are not under
the control of their owner.
SPECIFIC PROPOSED CHANGE:
CURRENT: Sec. 5-4. Definitions.
Restraint means the state of an animal if it is controlled by means of a leash, or is
sufficiently near the owner or handler to be under his direct control and is obedient to that
person's command, or is on or within a vehicle being driven or parked, or is within a
secure enclosure. Exceptions to restraint are as follows: Organized and lawful animal
functions; e.g., hunting, obedience training, field and water training, law enforcement
training and/or in the pursuit of working or competing in those legal endeavors. When a
dog is on the property of its owner or guardian it shall be secured when not supervised by
a competent person. Ropes, chains and the like shall not constitute adequate security
under this chapter.
PROPOSED: Sec. 5-4. Definitions.
Restraint means the state of an animal if it is controlled by means of a leash, or is
on or within a vehicle being driven or parked, or is within a secure enclosure. Exceptions

6. Proposed Addition of Spav/Neuter Reauirement for all Ae:encies Adoptine:
Animals in New Hanover County.
COMMENT
ACS views one of the primary problems in terms of controlling the county pet
population, being that of out-of-county adoption agencies, which hold adoption fairs or
events here, without having the dogs and cats first spayed or neutered. The suggestion
has been made to require a permit or license for these out-of-county-based organizations
in order for them to hold such events here, and as a condition of that permit or license,
require that all dogs and cats be spayed and/or neutered. ACS staff has worked diligently
to ensure that animals adopted from the shelter are sterilized, and they encourage
neutering of pets belonging to the general public. Higher fees for those animals that are
intact (differential licensing) is one method utilized.
Discussion with the Advisory Committee was quite involved. Every member was
in agreement that NHC had done too much to have their efforts diminished by intact
animals invading our county. Since many of the groups adopt responsibly, meaning pets
are healthy and neutered, the group did not want to penalize these organizations.
Although any entity that comes from outside NHC to adopt here is direct competition for
our available animals, the greatest threats are those that fill our area with intact animals.
The new owners, despite certificates to have surgery done after adoption, seldom neuter
these. Historically, NHC ACS attempted this same method, and they discovered that
50% of the adopted animals remained reproductively viable. The proposed ordinance
addition would grant ACS the leverage needed to require neutering of animals adopted in
our county. The group suggested a $500 fine as the penalty for violation of this section
of the ordinance.
The BOH made no comments on this section. Approved as stated.
PROPOSED NEW ORDINANCE:
Sec. 5-27 Proof of sterilization of animals adopted in New Hanover County
Any group, organization, or entity offering animals for adoption in New Hanover
County must provide proof of sterilization for every animal prior to adoption.

7. Prohibition of Pets Ridine: in Beds of Pickup Trucks
Although it has been suggested that the County enact a provision to make it illegal
to transport dogs or cats in the beds of pickup trucks, I think it is likely that this would be
pre-empted by state law. Jill Moore with the Institute of Government in Chapel Hill
provided David Rice an opinion recently that a local Board of Health could not regulate
the use of cell phones while driving, based upon her sense that the state had pre-empted
the entire area of motor vehicle operation, which would include truck operation with a pet
the in bed. A better option may be to lobby the state legislature.
8. Confiscation of Pets Whose Owners Are Indisposed
A concern was expressed about animals that are left unattended as a result of
illness, incarceration or other involuntary condition, and also those left unattended in
vehicles for an unsafe length of time for whatever reason. ACS staff frequently
encounters situations where an owner is arrested or ill, so they are no longer able to care
for their pet. An additional area of concern was taking animals from homes where an
eviction had occurred. Animals are considered property, so it is difficult to remove them
-- even though they are living creatures. The following amendments are suggested to
address these concerns:
The BOH suggested changing the dollar amount from $100 to $150 for dogs kept
in vehicles. No other changes were stipulated.
PROPOSED ADDITIONS:
Section 5-16(a) Impounding Animals - Authorized
The impounding of animals by Animal Control shall also be authorized in the
event of temporary abandonment of the animal due to illness, incarceration, or other
involuntary event. The process for impoundment and redemption shall be the same in
these circumstances as otherwise described in this section.
Section 5-15 Manner of Keeping and Treating Animals Generally
In the event that an animal is left in a vehicle in such as manner as to cause the
animal to be in a state of physical distress, or under such conditions as will quickly cause
the animal to reach a state of distress or physical danger, Animal Control shall be
authorized to remove the animal from the vehicle. There shall be a $150 fine for such
removal, and the owner may retrieve the animal from the Animal Control facility upon
payment of the fine and any boarding costs.

800 MHz Reconfiguration Support Contract
BRIEF SUMMARY:
Over the past several years, public safety and other "high-site" radio systems-including those used by police, firefighters,
emergency services, utilities, businesses, and others operating in the 806-824 MHz/851-869 MHz Band (the "800 MHz
Band")-have increasingly been experiencing equipment interference problems and communication "dead zones" as a
result of technically incompatible "low-site" commercial wireless systems operating in the same or adjacent spectrum
bands.
This problem has been exacerbated during the past several years because 800 MHz public safety radio systems have
become more widespread and 800 MHz commercial wireless systems have proliferated, both in terms of transmitter sites
and subscribers. Consequently, public safety systems began to encounter pockets of "dead zones" or have otherwise
suffered from interference within their coverage areas.
The FCC ordered the reconfiguration of the 800 MHz band to avoid a potentially life-threatening problem where public
safety communications equipment may be rendered inoperable. The planned reconfiguration of the 800 MHz band includes
creating "guard band," or buffer, to help ensure that signals from the different types of networks will not interfere with each
other.
Sprint Nextel has been charged by the FCC with funding relocation costs for affected licensees. In addition to
reconfiguring many of its own 800 MHz operations, Sprint Nextel will pay all allowable costs of relocating other
800 MHz incumbents that are required to reconfigure their systems to new frequencies with comparable facilities.
New Hanover County has 13 frequencies (5 conventional mutual aid and 8 trunked) that are within the range that must be
relocated as a result of the FCC order. The reconfiguration process will be lengthy and technically demanding. Attached is
a Statement of Work from Federal Engineering, Inc. for 800 MHz Reconfiguration Support. This SOW has been reviewed
by NHC legal staff and reflects the FCC's order that Sprint/Nextel is solely responsible for payments due to Federal
Engineering. The firm, fixed-price cost for Phase 1 of the Reconfiguration Support is $132,906. This work will be
performed at no cost to the County.

PROJECT NH-REC-SUP
NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NC
800 MHZ RECONFIGURATION SUPPORT
1.0 INTRODUCTION AND ISSUES
New Hanover County (NHC) owns and operates a Trunked Radio System (TRS)
designed to provide public safety and public service communications throughout New
Hanover County, North Carolina. The TRS includes a 4 site trunked digital voice radio
system, and a 2 site analog trunked radio system. The TRS is managed by the
Emergency Management Department of New Hanover County (NHC) and utilizes 800
MHz frequencies licensed to New Hanover County, North Carolina. The TRS provides
shared interoperable voice communications for agencies within the county. The county
also operates a SCADA system on 800 MHz as well as participating with the New
Hanover Regional Medical Center, Corning Glass and General Electric in sharing some
800 MHz systems and channels.
NHC along with many public safety I public service agencies in the United States must
participate in a national frequency reconfiguration effort in order to separate its 800 MHz
frequencies from those of commercial carriers. While some of NHC's frequencies can
remain where they are, the task of moving those that require relocation will necessitate
a great deal of thorough research and careful planning.
It is imperative that this task of frequency relocation be handled smoothly and efficiently,
to both minimize any user-level performance interruption and to ensure that overall
system performance is not degraded. In order to expedite these results, there must be
constant and clear communication between all necessary parties, in particular New
Hanover County, the surrounding jurisdictions, SprinUNextel, who will ultimately be
responsible for funding the effort and the Transition Administrator (TA) representing the
Federal Government.
Federal Engineering, Inc. (FE) recently assisted the City of Virginia Beach, VA in
Page 1 of 18
111
negotiating and reaching an approved Planning Funding Agreement (PFA) with
SprintlNextel. This Statement of Work (SOW) is derived from the lessons learned from
that process and is consistent in approach and format with documents previously
accepted by SprintlNextel and the T A. By relying upon FE's prior experiences with the
rebanding process, New Hanover County is assured of an orderly, low risk approach to
their rebanding project.
FE will act as an overall engineering program manager and coordinator on behalf of the
New Hanover County during the 800 MHz rebanding process. Utilizing its own internal
resources, resources within New Hanover County, the system manufacturer and other
subcontractors as may be appropriate, FE will develop the technical and operational
plans necessary to maintain reliable communications during all reconfiguration activities
in a manner consistent with the operational needs of New Hanover County while doing
so in the most cost effective manner possible.
1.1 Obiectives
The purpose of this document is to detail the 800 MHz reconfiguration planning needs
of NHC. The objectives of this program from NHC's perspective are as follows:
);> Contract with an independent consulting firm that is experienced in public safety
communications and can deliver this planning phase in a cost effective manner
);> Minimize the risks and disruptions of service through detailed planning, analysis
and program management
);> Inventory current systems and equipment to quantify the level of effort required
);> Benchmark current system performance and measure post-Reconfiguration
performance to ensure that no degradations were introduced
);> Develop a program plan, statement of work, and costing information for the
reconfiguration implementation phase for submittal to the T A and SprintlNextel
NHC has retained the services of Federal Engineering, Inc. (FE) to assist in the
planning and implementation of reconfiguration. FE is a nationwide systems
engineering and consulting firm specializing in public safety mobile communications.
The firm is currently assisting numerous jurisdictions in public safety radio and
interoperability programs.
Federal Engineering will perform the following duties for NHC:
);> Conduct an examination of NHC's communications inventory, including user
agency subscriber equipment, repeaters, base stations and other radio system
equipment
);> Work with the appropriate equipment manufacturers to determine which
equipment must be modified, reprogrammed, or replaced in order to comply with
the reconfiguration efforts
);> Create a baseline cost estimate which shall encompass the totality of NHC's
Page 2 of 18

expenses
~ Facilitate communication between all necessary parties in this process
~ Draft all necessary documents to ensure that these activities are executed in a
timely fashion.
Additional details regarding NHC's reconfiguration program are presented in
subsequent paragraphs.
2.0 TASKS TO BE PERFORMED
The 800 MHz band reconfiguration process is divided into two main segments. Phase
One, the Planning and Negotiation Phase, includes all planning and research
activities that will prepare New Hanover County for the actual reconfiguration. Phase
Two, the Reconfiguration Implementation Phase, is where the actual reconfiguration
is performed, as well as the final completion of the process.
It is the goal of FE to assist New Hanover County in making the process of
reconfiguration a smooth and efficient one. In this section, all of the necessary tasks to
accomplish this goal are outlined.
2.1 Planning and NeQotiation - Phase One
During this phase, NHC's needs are assessed, reconfiguration plans and schedules are
developed, and contracts are negotiated. The tasks of this phase include conducting
negotiations with SprintlNextel, replacement frequency analysis, systems inventory,
engineering and implementation planning, and project management.
The cost of the activities of the planning and negotiation phase can be covered directly
or reimbursed by SprintlNextel by submitting a document detailing the estimated
planning expenses to SprintlNextel. This document is referred to as a Request for
Planning Funding Form. FE will provide support in the drafting of this document so that
NHC may obtain funding from SprintlNextel to cover these planning costs. This step is
discussed in further detail later in this section.
2.1.1 Project Management
The first step in this program is the development of a program plan to manage this
project for NHC. A Program Office will be established to provide scheduling, risk
management, staff forecasting, and to track and report the efforts of the FE as well as
all relevant agencies, stakeholders and third party vendors. This Program Office will
remain in place and coordinate all project activities throughout all phases of the project.
A high level task-based schedule will be developed to ensure that the process is
Page 3 of 18
113
managed and completed within the desired time frames. The process will be outlined in
a way that ensures that the results will meet NHC's requirements.
Federal Engineering will deliver status reports in electronic form. Each such report will
address the specific accomplishments achieved during the reporting period, including
task completion dates, and projected completion dates for the remaining tasks. Topics
to be covered for such reports typically include:
. Overview
. Task Objectives
. FE Accomplishments
. Difficulties Encountered
. Anticipated Project Changes
. NHC Actions
. Scheduled Tasks
. Task Completion Status
. Current Milestone Schedule
. Meetings and Trips
. Invoice Payment Status
FE will deliver these status reports in electronic form via email attachments.
Federal Engineering will conduct a program orientation meeting with representatives
from public safety I public service user organizations. The purpose of this meeting will
be to introduce the FE program team, review project objectives and key milestone
dates, identify the relevant agencies and stakeholders and/or the key personnel who will
participate, organize project logistics, outline expected deliverables, review status
reporting methodologies, and resolve any other issues that may arise. It is also
anticipated that NHC will introduce its Program Manager for the project at this meeting.
As a result of this meeting, FE will deliver a revised project plan and timetable. This
project plan will serve as the guiding document throughout the program.
2.1.2 Submit Request for Planning Funding
Obtaining funding for planning activities is a crucial step. Each of the tasks in the first
phase of the reconfiguration are considered planning activities, and are therefore
covered by this funding.
By submitting a Request for Planning Funding form to SprintlNextel and the TA in
accordance with the agreements SprintlNextel has made regarding this reconfiguration
process, the costs of all approved planning activities will be paid in full by SprintlNextel.
Federal Engineering will work with NHC in the drafting of this document and provide up
to 40 hours of support for the negotiation of a Planning Funding Agreement (PFA) with
SprintlNextel, so that funding can be provided to NHC to cover these costs. If after 40
Page 4 of 18
---...-..
114
hours of negotiation support, NHC is not able to reach agreement with SprinUNextel, FE
will provide a cost estimate for continued negotiation support.
In order to accurately determine the level of funding necessary, FE will work with NHC
to tabulate all estimated costs of planning. These costs include, but are not limited to,
costs associated with third-party vendors, such as the estimated total of this SOW, as
well as NHC's internal employee and resource expenditures during the planning phase.
Once a total has been reached, the Request for Planning Funding Form will be
completed and submitted to the TA and SprinUNextel, along with any documentation
required to support the requested amount.
2.1.3 Document Subscriber Equipment Inventory
To complete the relocation of NHC systems to the new frequencies assigned, various
types of subscriber radio equipment will have to be reprogrammed, retuned, or
replaced. In order to assure that all subscriber equipment is accounted for, an accurate
inventory of NHC's subscriber equipment must be completed.
Federal Engineering personnel will survey up to 1,250 pieces of existing equipment
representing a sampling of 50% of the inventory to ensure that the inventory is accurate
at the time a specific work group or location is completed, and confirm that all necessary
frequency information is made available. Information to be collected, where available,
will include model number, hardware revision level, firmware revision level, current
location or assignment, equipment status, and other data determined to be necessary.
As most radios for this system have been purchased in phases, this sampling will allow
for accurate determination of the overall quantity and type of radios that must be
reprogrammed, retuned or replaced based on the frequencies that are to be relocated
or reconfigured.
The subscriber equipment to be inventoried will include, but not be limited to:
. mobiles and portables
. mobile data terminals and modems
. radio programming equipmenUsoftware
. accessories by subscriber device model number
. active devices in daily service
. spare devices used for special events or emergencies
. devices used on the licensed system that are assigned to related agencies
. special applications e.g. traffic light control, fire alarm enunciators, other SCADA
systems
The inventory will be delivered in the form of a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet in suitable
detail to meet the needs of the TA FE will recommend a process for NHC to follow in
order to maintain a current inventory. Keeping the inventory current and other changes
will be the responsibility of NHC once FE has completed the inventory of a work group
or location.
Page 5 of 18
--.--------.------.--."---.---- ._~_.._------
115
2.1.4 Document Infrastructure Facilities Inventory
As with the subscriber equipment, the systems infrastructure equipment will also have
to be retuned, modified or replaced in order to migrate to new frequencies. An accurate
inventory must be made of all infrastructure equipment, including the current frequency
and the frequency range of the equipment so that a determination can be made if the
equipment can be modified or must be replaced.
Federal Engineering personnel will work to survey all tower site locations supporting the
NHC trunked radio system, the prime site for trunked radio system control equipment
and any sites used for the NPSPAC mutual aid system or the 800 MHz mobile data
system. Federal Engineering will ensure that the inventory is accurate at the time a
specific location is completed and confirm that all necessary frequency information is
made available. Information to be collected, where available, will include make, model
number, hardware revision level, firmware revision level, current location, equipment
status, and other data determined to be necessary. This will allow for the accurate
determination of which elements of the infrastructure must be modified or replaced
based on the frequencies that are to be relocated or reconfigured.
The inventory will be delivered in the form of a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet in suitable
detail to meet the needs of the TA. FE will recommend a process for NHC to follow in
order to maintain a current inventory. Keeping the inventory current and other changes
will be the responsibility of NHC once FE has completed the inventory of a site or
location.
2.1.5 Define NHC Area Interoperability Environment
The interoperability environment in which NHC systems operate will have to be
determined. This includes which radios and associated equipment share channels
and/or talkgroups with other agencies and which other agencies have equipment
programmed for operation in NHC systems. FE will provide the Program Management
and technical resources necessary to gather this information.
Once this is completed, FE will determine which of the frequencies associated with
these interoperability channels will relocated. Any equipment utilizing these channels
will have to be reconfigured during the implementation phase. FE will determine which
of NHC's interoperability frequencies will be relocated, and the subscriber and
infrastructure equipment modifications necessary to operate on the new frequencies.
FE will capture and document NHC's current and interim operational requirements
including future capabilities and NHC's needs and interoperability requirements
currently supported by the existing systems. This work will be undertaken to assure that
these capabilities are maintained in the system after the reconfiguration process is
complete.
Page 6 of 18
116
In addition, NHC will have to develop a plan for how communications will be conducted
internally and with other agencies during the reconfiguration. FE will assist NHC in the
development of this communications plan. FE will work to assure that NHC remains
aware of the reconfiguration actions that are being taken by other agencies which could
impact NHC.
2.1.6 Frequency Analysis
Appendix A lists all NHC's current 800 MHz channels. FE has confirmed the accuracy
of this list against the FCC license database. FE will work with NHC to confirm that all
systems are represented accurately prior to any reconfiguration effort. At a minimum,
13 channels will require relocations as described below:
. 8 channels licensed under WPHZ633 and WNUX409 should move out of the
newly formed expansion band
. 5 NPSPAC National mutual aid channels licensed under WQAQ374 must move
from the upper end of the band to the new NPSPAC area at the lower end of the
band
Once the T A has been made aware of NHC's intention to participate in the
reconfiguration, the TA will propose new frequencies for those which will be relocated.
After the TA conveys this information, an evaluation process will begin to determine the
level of compatibility the new frequency assignments have with the existing frequencies.
FE will manage the spectrum selection process and provide independent verification
and validation of the frequency plans proposed by SprinUNextel and/or the TA. This
analysis will include site frequency analysis including intermodulation and Transmitter
Noise/Receiver Desense studies, area frequency analysis including co-channel studies
and frequency separation analysis to determine compatibility with the antenna systems
located at each radio site.
If it is decided that the frequencies are acceptable, then the reconfiguration process will
continue, but should FE or NHC determine that the frequencies will not work with the
current configurations, or should NHC decide that it would bear too much of a hardship
to relocate to the proposed frequencies, then other action will need to be taken through
communication with SprinUNextel and the TA.
FE will assist NHC during this process. Based upon the inventory information compiled,
FE will determine whether the proposed frequencies can be integrated into existing
equipment, or whether replacements will have to be obtained. FE will determine which
options can be taken to ensure that the relocation does not put NHC's critical
communications systems at risk.

2.1.7 System Benchmark Plan Development
FE will develop a plan and process to benchmark the performance of the system prior to
reconfiguration. This process will include the collection of site measurement data such
as transmitter power combiner losses, receiver sensitivity and noise floor on each
channel at each site prior to any system reconfiguration. In addition the performance of
the system may be verified by limited radio coverage drive testing to record the signal
strength and signal quality of the system utilizing existing frequencies.
Based upon this benchmarking plan, FE will develop a preliminary acceptance test plan
(ATP) to be implemented after the channels have been relocated. The draft acceptance
test plan will serve as a basis for deciding what measures must be taken after
reconfiguration to ensure that the systems are functioning equal to or better than they
were prior to the reconfiguration. The official ATP will be finalized during the contract
negotiations with SprintlNextel
2.1.8 Prepare a Cost Estimate
Based upon the subscriber unit and infrastructure inventory, FE will coordinate with the
appropriate manufacturers and/or local radio shops to determine if the equipment can
be reprogrammed or must be replaced and what the cost of the effort will be. Details
regarding how much equipment will be affected and what steps have to occur to
execute those changes will drive this cost estimate. FE will develop a complete
estimate that covers all costs of the actual reconfiguration implementation.
FE will work with NHC to make sure that the costs submitted to SprintlNextel and the
TA are representative of the work necessary to complete the reconfiguration. This
process will include obtaining firm cost quotations from the vendors who will perform the
technical reconfiguration tasks during the implementation phase; developing costs for
FE to provide Program Management services for the process and to provide
acceptance testing; documenting the costs for NHC personnel and resources;
estimating the amount of time necessary to complete these actions; and preparing an
SOW to support the amounts presented in the cost estimate.
The completed cost estimate and associated SOW will then be submitted to
SprintlNextel. These documents will form the basis for the negotiations with
SprintlNextel. FE will work with NHC to ensure that the documents are concise,
accurate, and submitted to the proper parties within SprintlNextel in a timely manner.
2.1.9 Negotiate the Contract with SprintlNextel
Once the cost estimate and associated SOW have been submitted, the negotiations
with SprintlNextel will begin. The results of these negotiations will be a Frequency
Page 8 of 18
118
Reconfiguration Agreement (FRA). The TA has stipulated that there are multiple time
windows during which agencies can participate in these negotiations with SprintlNextel.
The initial window for these negotiations for agencies in North Carolina begins on May
1, 2006. This is the beginning of the voluntary negotiation period, which extends for
three months. A mandatory period of negotiations then begins and extends for an
additional three months.
It is Federal Engineering's goal to have these negotiations begin early as possible and
to be completed well before the end of the six-month period. While there are always
uncertainties during negotiations, FE will devote the resources required to assist NHC in
completing these negotiations in a timely fashion and to ensure that SprintlNextel
agrees to a reconfiguration plan that adequately compensates NHC for all expenses
incurred during the implementation phase. As with the PFA negotiations, Federal
Engineering will work with NHC in the drafting of this document and provide up to 40
hours of support for the negotiation of an FRA with SprintlNextel. If after 40 hours of
negotiation support, NHC is not able to reach agreement with SprintlNextel, FE will
provide a cost estimate for continued negotiation support.
2.2 Reconficwration Implementation - Phase Two
After negotiations with SprintlNextel have been finalized, the actual implementation
phase will begin. This phase includes activities such as filing FCC applications for the
new frequencies, migrating equipment to those frequencies, conducting system
performance tests, and ultimately accepting the reconfiguration project as completed
successfully. The following is a more detailed breakdown of the tasks to be performed
during this phase. As the purpose of Phase One, the Planning and Negotiation
Phase, is to develop the detailed plan for Phase Two, the following tasks are described
in general terms and will be further clarified within the SOW developed under Phase
One.
2.2.1 FCC Applications Filed and Granted for New Frequencies
During the contract negotiation with SprintlNextel, FE will determine the responsible
party for drafting the FCC applications for the new frequencies. Should it be decided
that SprintlNextel will perform this activity and draft the applications, then FE will ensure
that SprintlNextel has all of the necessary information regarding sites, frequencies,
power levels, etc. that are required to file these forms.
Should it be decided that the applications will be drafted and filed by NHC, then FE will
draft the applications, confirm their accuracy, and present then to the appropriate
agency within NHC for signatures. FE will also ensure that applications are submitted
to the proper department within the FCC in a timely manner.
Page 9 of 18
119
2.2.2 SprintlNextel Clears Frequencies
Sprint/Nextel is responsible for vacating the frequencies that it currently utilizes and
relocating their operations to a different portion of spectrum. The frequencies that it
vacates may coincide with the new frequencies that NHC will be obtaining. Should this
be the case, Sprint/Nextel will be required to provide confirmation of their vacating the
frequencies, allowing for NHC's portion of the reconfiguration to continue. These details
will be discussed during the negotiation phase with Sprint/Nextel.
FE will offer its personnel as a point-of-contact for Sprint/Nextel during this process,
thus acting as a liaison between Sprint/Nextel and NHC, should any issues or concerns
arise regarding Sprint/Nextel's relocation.
2.2.3 System Benchmarking
FE will perform the benchmarking process developed during the planning phase. This
may include limited radio coverage drive testing and radio network measurements to
benchmark the signal strength and current performance of the system utilizing existing
frequencies. This benchmark study will include the development of a spread sheet and
other documentation required to represent the test results.
Additionally, FE will benchmark the performance of the infrastructure equipment through
the recording of power output and receiver sensitivity measurements on each channel
at each site prior to any system reconfiguration.
Based upon this system benchmarking, FE will refine the preliminary acceptance test
plan (ATP). The final ATP will be finalized during the contract negotiations with
Sprint/Nextel
2.2.4 NHC Relocates to New Frequencies
During this step, all activities necessary to reconfigure the subscriber equipment and the
infrastructure facilities as well as any other associated changes will be completed. FE
will provide Program Management services for this process to ensure that the activities
defined in the SOW are carried out in a timely and cost effective manner. FE will work
to assure that all entities involved in the process adhere to the schedule as it is defined.
A detailed program plan tracking these activities will be developed and posted on
FEClientNet, a custom website devoted to NHC's reconfiguration process.
FE will review all of the fleet-map and talk-group configurations required to assure
proper system operation on the reconfigured channels.
FE will be available to log user feedback, and also to interact with any parties requiring
assistance or information during this process. All third party vendors will complete their
Page 10 of 18
120
work during this period and users will be trained on any system changes caused by the
reconfiguration.
2.2.5 SprintlNextel Makes Payments for Reconfiguration
During the contract negotiation with Sprint/Nextel, a payment plan will be drafted. FE
will assist NHC in working with Sprint/Nextel to ensure that Sprint/Nextel adheres to this
payment plan and that all reimbursable costs are included. Sprint/Nextel will remit
payments to NHC and/or directly to FE and other selected vendor(s) involved with the
NHC system reconfiguration in accordance with the arrangements and schedule in the
contract negotiated with Sprint/Nextel. This payment plan mayor may not be
incremental, and may either precede, coincide with, or follow the activities of the
implementation phase. The details will be finalized during contract negotiation.
2.2.6 Acceptance Testing
As per the Acceptance Test Plan (ATP) finalized during contract negotiations, all
necessary steps to determine system/equipment performance will be completed during
this period. Performance measurement of any new or modified transmission equipment
may also be performed during this time. FE will perform any system benchmarking
necessary to ascertain system performance, and will compare those results with the
previous equipment measurements and other tools, such as computer models, as
required. FE will verify that the newly configured systems meet the requirements of the
acceptance tests, and in the event that certain systems do not, FE will provide data as
to how they failed.
2.2.7 Channel Surrender Applications are filed with FCC
Once the equipment/systems have been reconfigured and proper operation has been
verified, NHC will be required to notify SprintlNextel that the activities have been
completed. At that time, NHC will be required to surrender any licensed frequencies no
longer in use to the FCC. FE will assist NHC in notifying the FCC of the vacating of
these frequencies, and assist in the drafting of any documents necessary to accomplish
this task.
Page 11 of 18
121
2.2.8 NHC and SprintlNextel Certify Completion
Once each of the previous steps has been completed, Sprint/Nextel and NHC will meet
in a "Closing" process that will signify the successful completion of the reconfiguration.
At this time, all documents showing incurred costs to NHC will be presented and a final
tabulation of NHC's expenses will be made. FE will assist NHC in compiling these costs
and associated documents so that an accurate total can be determined. This total will
be used in a "true-up" process between NHC and Sprint/Nextel. If either entity is due
money, payments will be arranged to account for the difference.
2.2.9 NHC completes other FCC Filings
After agreements have been reached between NHC and Sprint/Nextel and the
reconfiguration process has been certified as complete, there are two remaining
documents that NHC must submit to the FCC to fully complete the process:
1. A Certificate of Construction must be filed anytime a licensee begins
broadcasting on a newly licensed frequency. FE will assist NHC in the drafting of
this document and ensure that is properly submitted. Any costs associated with
the drafting of this document will be estimated before beginning negotiations with
Sprint/Nextel and shall be discussed in those negotiations.
2. The second document to be filed is the responsibility of Sprint/Nextel and
pertains to Sprint/Nextel receiving new frequencies as part of the reconfiguration.
FE will follow up with Sprint/Nextel to confirm that this has been filed.

The FE program manager reserves the right to adjust the distribution of hours among
consultants to meet our commitments to NHC.
The costs for Phase Two (See Section 2.2) will be determined at the end of Phase One.
At that time, this SOW will be amended and approved in writing by both Federal
Engineering and NHC.
5.0 ASSUMPTIONS AND CONSTRAINTS
This SOW assumes Federal Engineering, Inc. will complete of all of the tasks as called
out in Section 2.1. The deletion of a task or significant change in scope of one or more
tasks may affect the overall price.
This statement of work including tasks, deliverables, schedules, and costs are subject to
change as the result of negotiations between New Hanover County and SprinVNextel as
well as the T A. Changes may also occur as a result of the T A mandated "true-up"
process at the end of each phase of the program.
This SOW assumes that the NHC Project Manager will schedule meetings, notify
attendees, arrange for on-site visits, facilitate the inventory process, duplicate
Page 15 of 18
125
documents and distribute the documents to participants. This proposal also assumes
that NHC will, at no cost to FE, make an office available for the use of FE consultants
while on-site during this project including:
. Customary office arrangements and supplies
. Connection to the Internet and email access
. Local telephone service with voice mail
. Access to conference rooms as needed
. Access to secretarial support for messages and other administrative support
Locating FE consultants in a NHC provided office while they are in town is for the
convenience of Worcester personnel and to facilitate a close working relationship with
all agencies/individuals involved with the reconfiguration process.
FE's ability to fulfill this task depends, in part, on the willingness and ability of NHC,
SprintlNextel, the Transition Administrator, the FCC, equipment vendors, service
providers, third parties, and others to provide information in a timely manner, and upon
the accuracy of the information as supplied. The accuracy of input data, whether
provided in electronic or hard copy form, and the recommendations, actions, system
designs, procurements, and bidder actions resulting there from cannot, therefore, be
warranted by FE nor can the performance, suitability, or reliability of said systems be
warranted by FE.
Phase One (See Section 2.1) of this SOW is based upon 12 person-trips to the Hanover
County, North Carolina area and assumes a maximum of 15 weeks from notice to
proceed to the completion of the last milestone. Delays to the program schedule due to
actions or lack of actions on the part of NHC, SprintlNextel, the Transition Administrator,
the FCC, third parties, and others including but not limited to vendor protests and
protracted contract negotiations may impact the program schedule and/or costs to the
NHC and will be brought to the attention of the NHC Project Manager in a timely
manner.
FE acknowledges that SprintlNextel is solely responsible for payments due to FE as
part of this SOW and that such payments will be governed by the terms and conditions
to be described in the New Hanover County Planning Funding Agreement (PFA) and
Frequency Reconfiguration Agreement (FRA). These documents will authorize
milestone payments to be issued directly from SprintlNextel to FE upon the receipt of
FE invoices for services and approval of the associated costs by New Hanover County.
New Hanover County shall cooperate with FE in obtaining reimbursements for
expenses pursuant to the FCC settlement. Federal Engineering reserves the right to
suspend activities in support of this SOW should milestone payments not be received
when due and will resume activities once the proper milestone payments have been
received. The restart of work may result in additional costs which shall be the
responsibility of SprintlNextel. New Hanover County is under no obligation to incur
costs for the planning of 800 MHz rebanding reconfiguration beyond the tasks included
in this SOW unless such arrangements are mutually agreed to by NHC and FE.

SUBJECT:
Consideration of Request for Exemption from Commercial Impact Fees by Fortron Industries
BRIEF SUMMARY:
In accordance with the New Hanover County Ordinance under Article III Sewer System, an industrial business can be
exempt from impact fees, if they have a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit, and maintain a
wastewater facility with capacity sufficient to cover the average daily wastewater flow. There have been previous industries
that have been exempted from impact fees such as General Electric and Elementis Chromium. Attached are the
calculations for the impact fee to be waived ($375), and a copy of the Fortron NPDES permit.
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
Staff recommends that this situation be exempt with the exception that if the County extends the County sewer system to
this parcel of land by the County sewer use plan, they may be required to connect to the sewer system.
