Board of Commissioners - March 15, 2021 ITEM: 3 - 2 - 3 NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION MEETING DAT E: 3/15/2021 Consent DEPARTMENT: Engineering PRESENTER(S): Jim lannucci, County Engineer CONTACT(S): Tim Lowe, Chief Project Engineer for Stormwater Services SUBJECT: Adoption of a Budget Amendment for Stormwater Services BRIEF SUMMARY: The Board of County Commissioners approved a resolution on December 16, 2019 to establish the Stormwater Services Program. This program will provide for a comprehensive and enhanced management of the stormwater system within the unincorporated area of New Hanover County. This will shift certain responsibilities for the maintenance and repair of non - permitted systems that accommodate stormwater flow. Due to Covid -19, collection of fees was delayed until July 1, 2021. However, the FY20 -21 budget did anticipate expenses for various items to ensure the program was ready to begin its full services as of July 1, 2021. These expenses included salary costs for the last pay period of the year, ensuring appropriate personnel were on staff as of July 1, 2021, and funds to finalize the program policy, in addition to several drainage projects that were contracted including the Military Cutoff Culvert project. In order to be further prepared for delivery of service on July 1, 2021, Engineering is requesting securing loan funding prior to the beginning of fiscal year 21 -22. Securing the funding now will permit the ordering and purchasing of the necessary vehicles and specialized equipment to perform maintenance and repair of our stormwater conveyances. Delays due to Covid -19 have made the timely acquisition of these items more difficult. By ordering vehicles and equipment through various state contracts, we will also benefit from large discounts instead of paying retail. To perform this work safely, vehicles and equipment will also need to be properly outfitted and have all necessary safety gear installed. A loan would be obtained with all debt service paid by the fees collected on behalf of Stormwater Services. The debt service for the loan will not begin until FY21 -22 and will be budgeted accordingly. In addition to vehicles and equipment, Engineering will be bringing a request forward at a future meeting to borrow from the general fund for small hand tools, personal protection equipment and preparation work necessary to begin delivering services on July 1. These items cannot be financed. Purchasing this equipment ahead of time will allow better pricing and will ensure all necessary tools and gear are secured in time to begin delivery of service. Once the equipment is purchased and Stormwater Services is up and running, all funds will be reimbursed and an approved budget will be in place for future purchases. This arrangement will allow for services to be delivered in a timely manner. RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Adopt the ordinance for budget amendment 21 -056 to purchase vehicles and equipment to operate Stormwater Services.

(the Davis Community) has requested that the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners (the Board) hold a public hearing and approve the issuance of revenue bonds in an amount not to exceed $65,000,000 by the Public Finance Authority for the Davis Community. The project to be financed with the debt proceeds are improvements to the Davis Community facility located on Porters Neck Road including, but not limited to, constructing and equipping a new independent living facility, a new Central Services Building, a new multi -story apartment building, a new wellness center facility, and a new Community Center. The debt to be issued is not New Hanover County debt and the public hearing and the approval of the associated resolution does not increase the County's liabilities or obligate the County in any way for the debt. However, the public hearing and approval by the Board is required to allow the debt to be issued as tax - exempt debt for the Davis Community. The public hearing is not to judge the merits of the project, but is instead based on tax code to allow the bonds to be issued as tax exempt through the Public Finance Authority. The County last approved a tax exempt issue through the Public Finance Authority for the Davis Community in June of 2018. RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Hold the public hearing and approve the associated resolution as requested by the Davis Community. COUNTY MANAGER'S COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: (only Manager) Conduct public hearing. Recommend approval. COMMISSIONERS' ACTIONS: Approved 5 -0. Board of Commissioners - March 15, 2021 ITEM: 6 Public Hearing Public Finance Authority Revenue Bonds Cornelia Nixon Davis, Inc. (the Davis Community) Chairman: Cornelia Nixon Davis, Inc. ( "CN Davis "), who operates a retirement facility known as the Davis Community that is located in New Hanover County, has requested that the Public Finance Authority, a Wisconsin public authority, issue its retirement facilities revenue bonds in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $65,000,000. The proceeds of the bonds will be used to finance the costs of constructing and equipping a new independent living facility, a new Central Services Building, a new multi -story apartment building, a new wellness center facility, a new Community Center and various related improvements at the Davis Community, and to finance costs of issuance of the Bonds. Because the projects are located in New Hanover County, Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code requires that the Board must hold a public hearing and approve the issuance of the bonds by the Public Finance Authority prior to the issuance of such bonds. The notice of a public hearing was published on March 5, 2021 in the Star -News stating that the Board would hold a public hearing thereon on March 15, 2021 at 9:00 a.m. The Board's approval of the issuance of the bonds will in no way cause the County to become responsible for or liable with respect to the bonds. Hosting the public hearing and approving the issuance of the bonds are merely ministerial acts that will enable CN Davis to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. I will now open the public hearing and the Board will hear from anyone who wishes to be heard on the questions of the proposed issuance of the bonds by the Public Finance Authority and the financing of the various projects owned and operated by CN Davis. (No one spoke at the public hearing) Close the public hearing. Chair Olson - Boseman: What is the direction from the Board?

The state's feasibility study to assume operations of the museum outlined several major considerations, including the county losing local control over the acquisition and deaccession of artifacts, and the requirement for the county to invest upwards of $10 million into the facility before the state would assume operations. As such, the feasibility study was not pursued further. County staff also continued conversations with Zimmer Development Company which resulted in Zimmer Development Company presenting a Memorandum of Understanding for consideration and adoption by the Board of County Commissioners. The purpose of this Memorandum of Understanding is to redefine the project with an agreed upon program, a basic financial structure, and a timeline to move forward. Once the MOU is agreed upon, the developer will begin planning and design for the project and will incur the associated planning costs. Should the county elect to terminate the Memorandum of Understanding before a public hearing for a ground lease or if the public hearing is delayed beyond the proposed timeline, the MOU directs the county to refund the developer planning costs up to $800,000. The county may terminate this agreement without obligation to reimburse the developer if the developer determines the rent payment for the library and museum will exceed $4,508,000 or if the Local Government Commission does not approve the library and museum lease.
