A RESOLUTION BY THE COUNTY OF NEW HANOVER
APPROVING THE MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT (MOA) BETWEEN THE STATE OF
NORTH CAROLINA AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ON PROCEEDS RELATING TO THE
SETTLEMENT OF OPIOID LITIGATION
WHEREAS, as of 2019, the opioid epidemic had taken the lives of more than 16,500 North
Carolinians, torn families apart, and ravaged communities from the mountains to the coast; and
WHEREAS, the COVID-19 pandemic has compounded the opioid crisis, increasing levels of
drug misuse, addiction, and overdose death; and
WHEREAS, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates the total "economic
burden" of prescription opioid misuse alone in the United States is $78.5 billion a year, including the
costs of healthcare, lost productivity, addiction treatment, and criminal justice involvement; and
WHEREAS, certain counties and municipalities in North Carolina joined with thousands of
local governments across the country to file lawsuits against opioid manufacturers and pharmaceutical
distribution companies and hold those companies accountable for their misconduct; and
WHEREAS, representatives of local North Carolina governments, the North Carolina
Association of County Commissioners, and the North Carolina Department of Justice have negotiated
and prepared a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to provide for the equitable distribution of any
proceeds from a settlement of national opioid litigation to the State of North Carolina and to individual
local governments; and
WHEREAS, Local Governments and the State of North Carolina anticipate a settlement in the
national opioid litigation to be forthcoming; and
WHEREAS, it is anticipated that a settlement in the national opioid litigation with Johnson &
Johnson, AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health, and McKesson will make available, to the counsel with
whom New Hanover County has a direct contractual relationship, the opportunity to participate in a
subdivision and common benefit attorneys' fee fund of approximately $1.6 billion or more at the
national level in exchange for waiver of the counsel's contingency fee agreements with local
governments including New Hanover County with respect to recoveries from those companies; and New
Hanover County's approval of the MOA shall be conditional and revoked if, by August 1, 2021, such
counsel files a written representation to the MDL Court that counsel does not intend to participate in the

Carolina's share of opioid settlement funds to ensure the needed resources reach communities, once a
negotiation is finalized, as quickly, effectively, and directly as possible; and
WHEREAS, it is advantageous to all North Carolinians for local governments, including New
Hanover County and its citizens, to sign onto the MOA and demonstrate solidarity in response to the
opioid epidemic, and to maximize the share of opioid settlement funds received both in the state and this
county to help abate the harm; and
WHEREAS, the MOA directs substantial resources over multiple years to local governments on
the front lines of the opioid epidemic while ensuring that these resources are used in an effective way to
address the crisis.

Background Statement
Capitalized terms not defined below have the meanings set forth in the Definitions section of the
Statement of Agreement.
WHEREAS, the State of North Carolina (the "State"), North Carolina counties and
municipalities, and their people have been harmed by misconduct committed by certain entities
that engage in or have engaged in the manufacture, marketing, promotion, distribution, or
dispensing of an opioid analgesic ("Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Participants"); and
WHEREAS, certain North Carolina counties and municipalities, through their counsel,
and the State, through its Attorney General, are separately engaged in ongoing investigations,
litigation and settlement discussions seeking to hold Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Participants
accountable for the damage caused by their misconduct; and
WHEREAS, the State and the Local Governments share a common desire to abate and
alleviate the impacts of the misconduct described above throughout North Carolina and in its local
communities; and
WHEREAS, while the Local Governments and the State recognize the sums which may
be available from the aforementioned litigation will likely be insufficient to fully abate the public
health crisis caused by the opioid epidemic, they share a common interest in dedicating the most
resources possible to the abatement effort; and
WHEREAS, settlements resulting from the investigations and litigation with Johnson &
Johnson, AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health, and McKesson are anticipated to take the form of
a National Settlement Agreement; and
WHEREAS, this Memorandum of Agreement ("MOA") is intended to facilitate
compliance by the State and by the Local Governments with the terms of the National Settlement
Agreement and, to the extent appropriate, in other settlements related to the opioid epidemic
reached by the state of North Carolina; and
WHEREAS, North Carolina's share of settlement funds from the National Settlement
Agreement will be maximized only if all North Carolina counties, and municipalities of a certain
size, participate in the settlement; and
WHEREAS, the National Settlement Agreement will set a default allocation between each
state and its political subdivisions unless they enter into a state -specific agreement regarding the
distribution and use of settlement amounts (a "State -Subdivision Agreement"); and
WHEREAS, this MOA is intended to serve as such a State -Subdivision Agreement under
the National Settlement Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the aforementioned investigations and litigation have caused some
Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Participants to declare bankruptcy, and it may cause additional
entities to declare bankruptcy in the future; and
Board of Commissioners - June 22, 2021
ITEM: 4 - 2 - 3

resolutions of claims concerning alleged misconduct in manufacture, marketing, promotion,
distribution, or dispensing of an opioid analgesic entered in bankruptcy court that provide for
payments (including payments through a trust) to both the State and North Carolina counties and
municipalities and allow for the allocation between a state and its political subdivisions to be set
through a state -specific agreement (`Bankruptcy Resolutions"); and
WHEREAS, specifically, this MOA is intended to serve under the Bankruptcy Resolution
concerning Purdue Pharma L.P. as a statewide abatement agreement, and under this MOA, a
statewide abatement agreement is a type of State -Subdivision Agreement.

1. Method of distribution. Pursuant to the National Settlement Agreement and any

and to Local Governments in such proportions and for such uses as set forth in this MOA,
provided Opioid Settlement Funds shall not be considered funds of the State or any Local
Government unless and until such time as each annual distribution is made.
2. Overall allocation of funds. Opioid Settlement Funds shall be allocated as follows: (i)
15% directly to the State ("State Abatement Fund"), (ii) 80% to abatement funds
established by Local Governments ("Local Abatement Funds"), and (iii) 5% to a County
Incentive Fund described in Section G below.
3. Allocation of funds between Local Governments. The Local Abatement Funds shall be
allocated to counties and municipalities in such proportions as set forth in Exhibit G,
attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, which is based upon the MDL
Matter's Opioid Negotiation Class Model. The proportions shall not change based on
population changes during the term of the MOA. However, to the extent required by the
terms of the National Settlement Agreement, the proportions set forth in Exhibit G shall
be adjusted: (i) to provide no payment from the National Settlement Agreement to any
listed county or municipality that does not participate in the National Settlement
Agreement; and (ii) to provide a reduced payment from the National Settlement
Agreement to any listed county or municipality that signs onto the National Settlement
Agreement after the initial participation deadline.

Board of Commissioners - June 22, 2021
ITEM: 4 - 2 - 5
a. Local Governments receiving_ payments. The proportions set forth in Exhibit G
provide for payments directly to (i) all North Carolina counties, (ii) North Carolina

Bureau's Vintage 2019 population totals, and (iii) North Carolina municipalities
who are also MDL Parties as of January 1, 2021.
b. Municipality may direct payments to countL. Any municipality allocated a share
in Exhibit G may elect to have its share of current or future annual distributions of
Local Abatement Funds instead directed to the county or counties in which it is
located. Such an election may be made by January 1 each year to apply to the
following fiscal year. If a municipality is located in more than one county, the
municipality's funds will be directed based on the MDL Matter's Opioid
Negotiation Class Model.
5. Use of funds for opioid remediation activities. This MOA requires that except as related
to the payment of the Parties' litigation expenses and the reimbursement of the United
States Government, all Opioid Settlement Funds, regardless of allocation, shall be utilized
only for opioid remediation activities.
6. Relationship of this MOA to other agreements and resolutions. All Parties acknowledge
and agree the National Settlement Agreement will require a Local Government to release
all its claims against the Settling Defendants to receive Opioid Settlement Funds. All
Parties further acknowledge and agree based on the terms of the National Settlement
Agreement, a Local Government may receive funds through this MOA only after
complying with all requirements set forth in the National Settlement Agreement to release
its claims. This MOA is not a promise from any Party that any National Settlement
Agreement or Bankruptcy Resolution will be finalized or executed.
C. Payment of Litigating and Non -Litigating Parties
No Party engaged in litigating the MDL Matter shall receive a smaller payment than a
similarly situated non -litigating Party, other than as based on the Allocation Proportions in
Exhibit G or based on the eligibility criteria for payments from the County Incentive Fund
as provided by Section G below.
D. Special Revenue Fund
1. Creation of special revenue fund. Every Local Government receiving Opioid Settlement
Funds shall create a separate special revenue fund, as described below, that is designated
for the receipt and expenditure of the Opioid Settlement Funds.
2. Procedures for special revenue fund. Funds in this special revenue fund shall not be
commingled with any other money or funds of the Local Government. The funds in the
0
Board of Commissioners - June 22, 2021
ITEM: 4 - 2 - 6
special revenue fund shall not be used for any loans or pledge of assets, unless the loan or
pledge is for an opioid remediation purpose consistent with the terms of this MOA and
adopted under the process described in Section E.6 below. Although counties or
municipalities may make contracts with or grants to a nonprofit, charity, or other entity,
counties or municipalities may not assign to another entity their rights to receive payments
from the national settlement or their responsibilities for funding decisions.
3. Interest earned on special revenue fund. The funds in the special revenue fund may be
invested, consistent with the investment limitations for local governments, and may be
placed in an interest -bearing bank account. Any interest earned on the special revenue
fund must be used in a way that is consistent with this MOA.
E. Opioid Remediation Activities.
1. Limitation on use of funds. Local Governments shall expend Opioid Settlement Funds
only for opioid-related expenditures consistent with the terms of this MOA and incurred
after the date of the Local Government's execution of this MOA, unless execution of the
National Settlement Agreement requires a later date.
2. Opportunity to cure inconsistent expenditures. If a Local Government spends any Opioid
Settlement Funds on an expenditure inconsistent with the terms of this MOA, the Local
Government shall have 60 days after discovery of the expenditure to cure the inconsistent
expenditure through payment of such amount for opioid remediation activities through
budget amendment or repayment.
3. Consequences of failure to cure inconsistent expenditures. If a Local Government does
not make the cure required by Section E.2 above within 60 days, (i) future Opioid Fund
payments to that Local Government shall be reduced by an amount equal to the
inconsistent expenditure, and (ii) to the extent the inconsistent expenditure is greater than
the expected future stream of payments to the Local Government, the Attorney General
may initiate a process up to and including litigation to recover and redistribute the overage
among all eligible Local Governments. The Attorney General may recover any litigation
expenses incurred to recover the funds. Any recovery or redistribution shall be distributed
consistent with Sections B.3 and BA above.
4. Annual meeting of counties and municipalities within each county. Each county receiving
Opioid Settlement Funds shall hold at least one annual meeting with all municipalities in
the Local Government's county invited in order to receive input as to proposed uses of the
Opioid Settlement Funds and to encourage collaboration between local governments both
within and beyond the county. These meetings shall be open to the public.
5. Use of settlement funds under Option A and Option B. Local Governments shall spend
Opioid Settlement Funds from the Local Abatement Funds on opioid remediation activities
using either or both of the processes described as Option A and Option B below, unless
the relevant National Settlement Agreement or Bankruptcy Resolution further limit the
spending.

Board of Commissioners - June 22, 2021
ITEM: 4 - 2 - 7
a. Option A.
Without any additional strategic planning beyond the meeting described in
Section EA above, Local Governments may spend Opioid Settlement
Funds from the list of High -Impact Opioid Abatement Strategies attached
as Exhibit A. This list is a subset of the initial opioid remediation strategies
listed in the National Settlement Agreement.
ii. Exhibit A may be modified as set forth in Exhibit D below; provided,
however, that any strategy listed on Exhibit A must be within the list of

SUBJECT:
Ratification of DR-4543 Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) Project/Application
BRIEF SUMMARY:
Following a Presidential major disaster declaration, federal funding is made available for mitigation activities via the
Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP). The funding amount is calculated using a sliding scale, based on funds spent
on Public Assistance and Individual Assistance in that disaster.
Unfortunately, the demand for mitigation funding often exceeds the amount of available funding allocated to a
particular Hazard Mitigation Grant Program declared disaster.
In Hurricane Florence HMGP and Hurricane Dorian HMGP, the county applied on behalf of homeowners voluntarily
seeking to be bought out or have their home elevated to reduce the risk of future flooding losses.
Occasionally, when an elevation is not technically feasible or cost effective, a project can be re -worked as a mitigation
construction. In a mitigation construction, the original home is demolished, and a new elevated structure is
constructed. Due to technical, program and cost effectiveness requirements, this type of project is used infrequently in
NC.
After determining that the original elevation of a River Road property would not be cost -effective, NCDPS staff
worked directly with the homeowner to develop a mitigation reconstruction strategy/project. Under the proposed
plan, the existing home would be demolished, and a Manufactured Housing Unit (MHU) would be placed on an
elevated foundation.
The proposed budget is $179,784, split $149,784 of federal funds for construction and $30,000 of state funds used for
pre/post construction activities. The maximum federal reimbursement of construction activities is $150,000.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:
• Intelligent Growth & Economic Development
o Encourage development of complete communities in the unincorporated county
■ Ensure NHC has appropriate housing to support business growth
• Superior Public Health & Safety
o Sustain the community capacity to prepare for and respond to public safety demands
■ Reduce or prevent community risks

Ratification of 2021 DR-4588 Tropical Storm Eta Hazard Mitigation Grant Program Projects/Application and
Adoption of Resolution for Designation of Applicant's Agent
BRIEF SUMMARY:
New Hanover County has an opportunity to apply for funding 2021 DR-4588 Tropical Storm Eta Hazard Mitigation
Grant Program. The following projects have been proposed:
1) Critical Facility Generator Infrastructure — Installation of camlocks, a manual generator transfer switch, and
concrete pad to enable easy connection of a generator to provide additional power to the Health and Human Services
Building to support emergency operations (e.g. alternate Emergency Operations Center/Coordination Center site).
Federal (75%) $67,500
State (25%) 522,500
Total $90,000
2) Development of Watershed -Specific Storm Water and Flooding Resiliency Infrastructure Projects - A critical
component of the recently adopted Southeastern North Carolina Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan (as well as the
National Flood Insurance Program - Community Rating System) includes the implementation of projects to reduce
flooding risk, address storm water capacity issues, and reduce the impact of both to water quality.
The two proposed projects would target a) Prince George Creek Watershed and b) Smith Creek Watershed.
Specifically, each project would:
1) Collect necessary data and conduct a full hydrologic and hydraulic analysis/modelling of the watershed.
2 ) Identify a portfolio of green (nature -based) and grey (engineered) projects that will enhance performance of the
watershed system as a whole and provide additional capacity.
3) Deliver shovel -ready designed/engineered cost estimates and plans.
The individual shovel -ready projects will be integrated into county Capital Improvement Project (CIP) plans/programs.
The cross -functional project team leading this initiative includes Engineering/Stormwater Services, the Soil and Water
District, Parks and Gardens, Cooperative Extension, Planning, and Recovery & Resilience.

SUBJECT:
Appointment of an Elected Official to Serve on the Military Ocean Terminal Sunny Point (MOTSU)
Intergovernmental Council
BRIEF SUMMARY:
The Cape Fear Council of Governments (Cape Fear COG) has requested that an elected official representative be
appointed to serve on an ongoing Military Ocean Terminal Sunny Point (MOTSU) Intergovernmental Council. This
council would meet 1-2 times per year and as needed in order to serve as a forum for joint civil -military relations
between MOTSU and its host communities. This council was formed as the result of the recommendations included in
a 2019 regional joint land use study focusing on MOTSU and the area within a 3-mile buffer around the facility and
would be supported by staff -level subcommittees and working groups.
In 2018 and 2019, New Hanover County participated in the joint land use study project, which was funded by a grant
from the U.S. Department of Defense Office of Economic Adjustment (OEA) and was administered by the Cape Fear
COG. Other participating communities included Brunswick County, Boiling Spring Lakes, Carolina Beach, Kure Beach,
Leland, and Southport.
Two committees were created for the joint land use study: a General Advisory Committee comprised of staff and a
Policy Committee of elected officials. New Hanover County's staff representatives were Ben Andrea and Rebekah
Roth from the Planning and Land Use Department. The elected official representative was former commissioner
Woody White, so a new elected official representative would need to be named to the Intergovernmental Council.
The joint land use study was initiated to open lines of communication between MOTSU commanders, state and local
officials, and key public and private stakeholders. MOTSU is one of the largest military terminals in the world, the key
ammunition shipping point on the Atlantic Coast, the Army's primary east coast deep -water port, and one of a handful
of Department of Defense terminals equipped to handle containerized ammunition. It serves as a transfer point
between rail, trucks, and ships for the import and export of weapons, ammunition, explosives, and equipment for the
US military.
The goals of the joint land use study included:
- Protecting and preserving the military- and defense -related operational capabilities of MOTSU;
- Supporting the continued safe growth and economic development of communities near MOTSU;
- Enhancing communication and collaboration between military commanders and local officials; and
- Establishing policies and procedures for managing compatible land uses adjacent to MOTSU.
More information on the project can be found at http://capefearcog.org/sunnypoint/.

Ms. Olson-Boseman:
The Cape Fear Council of Governments is reconvening the Military Ocean Terminal
Sunny Point (MOTSU) Intergovernmental Council, formerly the MOTSU Joint Land
Use Study (JLUS) Policy Committee. Former Commissioner Woody White served as
the JLUS Policy Committee representative for New Hanover County. We kindly request
that the County appoint a new elected representative to the MOTSU Intergovernmental
Council (MIC).
The New Hanover County representative is expected to represent the interests of the
County, its municipalities, and the broader region on a range of matters that come before
the MIC, including land use, transportation, and public safety as they relate to impacts to
or from MOTSU's military operations. The representative will join other elected
officials from the region on the MIC, including from Brunswick County, Boiling Spring
Lakes, Carolina Beach, Kure Beach, Leland, and Southport. The MOTSU commander
serves as an ex-officio member.
The MIC is expected to meet approximately 1-2 times per year, and additionally if
needed. The MIC operates as an informal committee and formal terms are not established
for members, so the County may appoint its representative for a specified term or
indefinitely.
At the start of the pandemic, the JLUS Policy Committee was transitioning from a
temporary committee established in conjunction with a study funded by a grant from the
Department of Defense to a more permanent committee as recommended by the study.
The Cape Fear Council of Governments administered the initial JLUS grant and is now
administering a smaller grant to facilitate implementation of some of the study's
recommendations.
I am happy to answer any additional questions you or any of the commissioners may
have about this requested appointment or about the MOTSU Intergovernmental Council.
Sincerely,
Allen Serkin

SUBJECT:
Consideration of Budget Amendment Appropriating American Rescue Plan Act Funding and Required Public
Hearing
BRIEF SUMMARY:
On April 5, 2021, staff presented an initial framework for the American Rescue Plan Act Funding to the Board of
County Commissioners. Since that time, the plan has continued to be refined based on needs and guidance from the
US Department of Treasury (Treasury). I n May, Treasury released its Interim Final Guidance along with FAQs about the
funds. After a 60-day comment period, we expect the Treasury to release its final guidance.
New Hanover County was awarded $45,543,632 and received the first half of its ARPA funding, or $22,771,816 in
May. Based on legislation, the second half of the funding will not be received until no earlier than one year after our
first distribution. To spend these funds, the Board of Commissioners must approve the appropriation of the funds
through a budget amendment, which is attached to this item. The budget amendment establishes a multi -year fund
that will be tracked by project. The proposed framework is as follows:
• Broadband Connectivity - $5,760,000
• Business and Employment Assistance - $4,210,000
• Housing - $3,600,000
• Physical and Mental Health & Education - $6,775,506
• Infrastructure & Emergency Management - $11,336,567
• Premium Pay for Essential Workers - $5,631,612
• Reserve for Future Projects & Administration - $8,229,947
The proposed budget amendment sets up a multi -year fund, appropriates the American Rescue Plan Act grant funds
the county was awarded, and authorizes twenty-six time limited grant funded positions to carry out the American
Rescue Plan programs.
As a part of the Business and Employment Assistance programs, a business grant program that is considered an
economic incentive is being proposed. A public hearing must be held on all economic development expenditures. The
notice of the public hearing was published to meet the 10-day public hearing notice requirement.

Chairman Olson-Boseman:
I will now open a public hearing to receive comments on appropriations and expenditures for economic
development. The source of funding for these appropriations and expenditures will be from the American
Rescue Plan monies.
The purposes of economic development and economic incentive agreements are to increase the population,
taxable property, agricultural industries, employment, industrial output, or business prospects for New Hanover
County. The economic development expenditure that follows have been recommended for appropriation in the
FY21-22 budget and are under consideration for adoption.
Covid-19 business grants, scaled in size based on a business' number of employees, focused on retail, service,
leisure and hospitality sectors and childcare facilities, at a cost of $2,500,000. These grants serve the purpose of
addressing pandemic public impacts and business interruption on hiring/rehiring residents, business retention
within New Hanover County, and/or premises expenditures to enhance public hygiene and safety in the amount
of $10,000 to $50,000 per grant award. The source of funding for these appropriations and expenditures will be
from the American Rescue Plan as appropriated to New Hanover County.
Hear comments, if any, including written comments received to date.
I will now close the public hearing.
Is there a motion to approve the economic development appropriations and expenditures for updating Covid-19
small business economic incentive grants based on the finding that the appropriations and expenditures will
increase the population, taxable property, agricultural industries, employment, industrial output, or business
prospects of the County?

ITEM: 14- 3 - 1
American Rescue Plan
Overview
New Hanover County will receive $45,543,632 from the American Rescue Plan, which was signed into
law by President Biden on March 11. The funds must be obligated by Dec. 31, 2024, and New Hanover
County has developed a draft framework to utilize these funds over the next three years to strengthen
our community. The Board of Commissioners approved the initial framework at its April 5 board
meeting.
This framework reflects an updated staff recommendation following the May 11 release of Treasury's
Rules and Guidance for the funds.
Broadband Connectivity - $5,760,000
The Congressional language permits using the funds for broadband purposes, so the county proposes
the following:
Broadband Access: A program to connect around 8,000 homes to broadband, focusing on households
with children who qualify for Medicaid or Food and Nutrition benefits, for two years in order to increase
access and affordability to reliable high-speed internet for students and families. ($5,760,000)
Business and Employment Assistance - $4,210,000
The legislation allows for assistance to businesses and nonprofits. New Hanover County's leisure and
hospitality sectors were particularly hard hit during the pandemic and the county proposes using funds
for the following:
Business Assistance: Business grants, scaled in size based on a business' number of employees, focused
on the retail, service, leisure and hospitality sectors and child care facilities. ($2,500,000)
Nonprofit Assistance: Grants to nonprofits that have been negatively impacted and were not able to
continue operations at some point during the pandemic. ($700,000)
Job Training: Two jobs programs, to be administered in partnership with Step Up Wilmington, to include
a six -week paid job training and placement program for up to 200 people with a particular focus on the
local film industry, and a six-month paid internship and job placement for an additional 10 to 20 people
to develop long-term skills and employment. Includes administrative expenses equaling 5 percent of the
programs' cost. ($900,000)
Apprenticeship program: Administered by the Chamber of Commerce, to provide two years of tuition
expenses for 10 students through Cape Fear Community College. ($110,000)
Housing - $3,600,000
The legislation allows assistance to households who have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, so
the county proposes to use funds for the following:
Mortgage Assistance: Provide assistance to homeowners who are in arrears on mortgages because of
impacts from COVID-19. This would be in addition to the $7 million Emergency Rental Assistance
Program that is currently underway through the county. ($3,000,000)
Board of Commissioners - June 22, 2021
ITEM: 14- 4 - 1
Workforce Rental Housing Assistance: A pilot project to provide residents who qualify under workforce
housing guidelines — 60 percent to 120 percent of area median income — by providing direct payments to
landlords. ($600,000)
Physical and Mental Health - $6,775,506
The well-being and mental health of children, students and seniors suffered during the pandemic and
the legislation allows local governments to use funds to mitigate the public health impact of the
pandemic. The county proposes to use funds as outlined below to help address these issues and provide
long-term positive impacts. With the exception of the infant and toddler initiatives, the intention is to
fold the services into the county's continuation budget beginning in Fiscal Year 2023-24.
Mental Health in Schools: Ensure access at each public school to mental health counselors through the
county's Health and Human Services Department. ($3,156,039)
Mental Health for Seniors: Establish mental health counselors and a mobile health outreach team based
at the Senior Resource Center to serve our county's older adults. ($332,215)
Virtual Outreach Position: Based at the Senior Resource Center, the position develops and maintains
virtual programs for the SRC, which allows broader reach and service delivery. ($86,406)
School Nurses: Reclassify two school nurses into school nurse leads and provide one school nurse
supervisor through the county's Health and Human Services Department, in addition to the school
nurses that the county already provides at each school. ($211,892)
Afterschool Transportation: Providing New Hanover County Schools students with transportation needs
for afterschool and tutoring programs ($1,200,000)
Health Educator: A health educator position. ($136,670)
Senior Resource Center: A congregate site in southern New Hanover County for the Senior Resource
Center for meal distribution and social interaction. It also provides for enhanced meal distribution at the
SRC's existing sites. ($436,790)
Senior Resource Center: To cover the costs of providing transportation to seniors for two years.
($223,500)
Infant and Toddler Mental Health: Provide two years of recovery -related mental health services for
families with infants and toddlers through five county staff positions at Health and Human Services.
($891,994)
Mental Health Scholarships: Provide 10 scholarships for students to receive degrees or certifications in
childhood mental health, with the program administered by Smart Start. ($100,000)
Infrastructure and Emergency Management - $11,336,567
Congressional language explicitly allows the American Rescue Plan allocations for water and sewer
projects. Given Emergency Management's role in the pandemic, it appears eligible for funding as well.
The county proposes to use funds in the following ways:
Stormwater Services: Cover and pay for stormwater utility costs, not including debt and reserve funds,
in the unincorporated county for fiscal year 2021-22. The county anticipates assessing full fees beginning in
fiscal year 2022-23. ($3,017,567)
Board of Commissioners - June 22, 2021
ITEM: 14- 4 - 2
Water & Sewer:
• Future water and sewer extensions to aid in responsible growth and support the creation of
affordable housing in New Hanover County. The intention is to lower development costs to
provide affordable housing. ($3,535,000)
• Bill assistance program ($500,000)
• Blue Clay Business Park water and sewer infrastructure to increase economic development
opportunities in this area. ($3,600,000)
• To extend water and sewer to Eden Village, which is being established to address chronic
homelessness in the community. ($250,000)
Homeless Sheltering: Reimburse nonprofits that provided non -congregate sheltering during the
pandemic and were denied reimbursements from FEMA. ($370,000)
Personal Protective Equipment: Replenish the county's PPE stock to ensure adequate supplies for any
future needs. ($64,000)
Essential County Employees - $5,631,612
The American Rescue Plan allows for "premium pay" for public employees who provided essential
government services, so the county is proposing to use funds in the following ways:
Employee Pay:
• Provide employee premium pay in fixed dollar amounts based on an employee's length of service
during the pandemic and full- or part-time status. This is in recognition of county staff who have
remained on the frontlines, continued important public services, and ensured residents received
the help they needed at a time when it was critical. ($5,284,811)
• Provide additional premium pay for employees working directly in the vaccine response to
compensate them for their dedication, long hours and constant work in vaccinating our
community and saving lives. ($346,801)
Reserve and Administration - $8,230,007
The legislation appears to allow the county to set aside funds as a reserve for potential future allowable
expenses as well as funds to administer and provide reports as needed on the use of the funds. The
county proposes the following reserve funds for this purpose:
• A reserve fund for future needs. ($5,960,007)
• A reserve fund for administration and reporting, established at 5 percent of the total amount
received. ($2,270,000)
Total Amount of Funding Outlined in the County's Plan: $45,543,632

Section 2: Explanation
BA 21-082 will increase general fund appropriated fund balance to transfer funds to the American Rescue Plan
Program Fund. This BA is to pay for bonuses to county employees that are outside of the US Department of
Treasury guidance. As defined in the Interim Final Guidance provided by the US Department of the Treasury, only
employees who were involved in regular in -person interactions are considered performing essential work and it
further limits the amount of premium pay an individual may receive. As such, those individuals who were
teleworking full-time without interacting with the public or coworkers would not qualify for premium pay paid by
ARPA funds, and the bonus amounts that would take an individuals premium pay above the limit noted in the
guidance cannot be paid by ARPA funds. To ensure those employees also receive a bonus for their service, a general
fund appropriation must be made to pay for that expense.
Section 3: Documentation of Adoption
This ordinance shall be effective upon its adoption.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of New Hanover County, North
Carolina, that the Ordinance for Budget Amendment 21-082 amending the annual budget ordinance for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 2021, is adopted.

DEPARTMENT: Finance PRESENTER(S): Lisa Wurtzbacher, Chief Financial Officer
CONTACT(S): Lisa Wurtzbacher
SUBJECT:
Consideration of Investment Policy and Adoption of Resolution for Revenue Stabilization and Mental Health and
Substance Use Disorder Funds
BRIEF SUMMARY:
New Hanover County's Cash Management policy was last updated in 2006. In that policy, investment parameters are
included that are appropriate for the general operating funds of the county. Staff is requesting a separate policy that
better meets the needs of the longer term use of the Revenue Stabilization and Mental Health and Substance Use
Disorder funds. The intent of the use of the funds are to focus use on interest earnings rather than the corpus of the
investment. As such, we are afforded different opportunities to invest these funds as opposed to the general operating
funds of the county. Parameters for this policy include:
• Maximum maturity of 10 years
• Investment in a single issuer shall not exceed 20% of the total portfolio
This policy will be strictly for the Revenue Stabilization fund and the Mental Health Funds and not the general
operating funds of the county.
The county must also update its resolution with its investment custodian allowing the Chief Financial Officer and the
Deputy Chief Financial Officer to be the authorized representatives for the county.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:
• Good Governance
o Strong Financial Performance
■ Plan for the long-term financial health of the county
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
Approve the policy and adopt the resolution.

ADOPTED: 06/22/2021
SUBJECT: Investment Policy
I. INVESTMENT POLICY SCOPE
This policy applies to all financial assets of the Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Fund
(Memorandum No. 21-001) and the New Hanover County Revenue Stabilization Fund (Memorandum
No. 21-002). These funds are accounted for in the County's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
Each fund's portion of total cash and investments is summarized by fund type in the balance sheet as
equity or deficit in cash and investments.
II. OBJECTIVES
Funds of the County will be invested in accordance with North Carolina General Statute 159-30 Cash
Management and Investment Policy and written administrative procedures. The County's investments
shall be undertaken in a manner that (1) seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall
portfolio, (2) provides for sufficient liquidity to meet the cash needs of the County's Mental Health and
Substance Use Disorder Fund and the New Hanover County Revenue Stabilization Fund, (3) attain a fair
market rate of return. Cash management functions will be conducted in such a manner as to ensure that
adequate funds will always be available to meet the County's financial obligations and to always provide
the maximum amount of funds available for investment. It is the County's full intent, at the time of
purchase, to hold all investments until maturity to ensure the return of all invested principal dollars.
However, economic or market conditions may change, making it in the County's best interest to sell or
trade a security prior to maturity.
III. RESPONSIBILITY
In accordance with N.C. General Statutes, the Finance Officer is charged with the responsibility of cash
management and investment and has delegated this duty to the Investment Manager. Such delegation
shall not relieve the Finance Director of responsibility for all transactions undertaken. The Investment
Manager is responsible for investment decisions and activities and shall develop and maintain written
administrative procedures for the operation of the cash management and investment program,
consistent with N.C. Statutes and these policies. The standard of prudence to be used by the Investment
Manager shall be the "Prudent Investor" Rule, which states, "Investments shall be made with judgment
and care, under circumstances then prevailing, which persons of prudence, discretion and intelligence
exercise in the management of their own affairs, not for speculation, but for investment, considering
the probable safety of their capital as well as the probable income to be derived." This standard of
prudence shall be applied in the context of managing the overall portfolio.
Board of Commissioners - June 22, 2021
ITEM: 17- 1 - 1
IV. ETHICS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
To avoid the appearance of potential conflict of interest or favoritism to a particular bank or broker, the
Investment Manager or any delegate employee who has investment responsibilities shall make full
disclosure to the Finance Director of any relationship or dealings with any financial institution that has
business dealings with the County. This disclosure need not include normal banking or brokerage
relationships that are at normal market rates and conditions available to the general public. Investment
officials shall be familiar with N.C. General Statutes and County policy regarding gifts and favors and shall
act accordingly.
V. STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION
The County will invest only in securities authorized by North Carolina General Statutes pertaining to local
government and restricts the purchase of securities to the highest possible ratings whenever particular
types of securities are rated. The Finance Director may elect to further limit the County's investment
security authority. The legal limitations of local government investments are defined in N.C.G.S. 159-30.
Accordingly, the following classes of securities are indicative of the investments utilized by New Hanover
County:
i. Obligations of the United States or obligations fully guaranteed both as to principal and interest
by the United States.
ii. Obligations of the Federal Financing Bank, the Federal Farm Credit Bank, the Bank for
Cooperatives, the Federal Intermediate Credit Bank, the Federal Land Banks, the Federal Home
Loan Banks, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, the Federal National Mortgage
Association, the Government National Mortgage Association, the Federal Housing
Administration and the Farmers Home Administration.
iii. Obligations of the State of North Carolina.
iv. Bonds and notes of any North Carolina local government or public authority, subject to such
restrictions as the Secretary of the Local Government Commission may impose.
V. Deposits at interest or purchase of certificates of deposit with any bank, savings and loan
association or trust company in North Carolina, provided such deposits or certificates of deposit
are fully collateralized.
vi. Prime quality commercial paper bearing the highest rating of at least one nationally recognized
rating service and not bearing a rating below the highest (Al, P1, F1) by any nationally
recognized rating service which rates the obligation. Asset Backed commercial paper will not be
an allowable investment.
vii. Bankers' Acceptances provided that the accepting bank or its holding company is either (1)
incorporated in the State of North Carolina or (2) has outstanding publicly held obligations
bearing the highest rating of at least one nationally recognized rating service and not bearing a
rating below the highest (Aaa or AAA) by any nationally recognized rating service which rates
the obligations.
viii. Participating shares in a mutual fund for local government investment (such as the N.C. Cash
Management Trust) which is certified by the N.C. Local Government Commission.
Board of Commissioners - June 22, 2021
ITEM: 17- 1 - 2
VI. ADMINISTRATIVE RESTRICTIONS
In addition to the previously noted limitations on appropriate securities, New Hanover County's
investment activities are further restricted in the following manner:
i. It is the policy of New Hanover County to diversify its investment portfolio. Assets held shall be
diversified to eliminate the risk of loss resulting from the over concentration of assets in a
specific maturity, a specific issuer or a specific class of securities. Diversification shall be
determined and revised periodically by the Investment Manager.
ii. New Hanover County recognizes that investment risks can result from issuer defaults, market
price changes or various technical complications leading to temporary illiquidity. Portfolio
diversification is employed to minimize default risk. No individual investment transaction shall
be undertaken that jeopardizes the capital position of the overall portfolio. In the event of a
default by a specific issuer, the Investment Manager shall review and, if appropriate, proceed to
liquidate securities having comparable credit risks. The investment of a single issuer shall not
exceed twenty percent (20%) of the total portfolio at the time of investment.
iii. Portfolio maturities shall be staggered to avoid undue concentration of assets of a specific
maturity. Maturities selected shall provide for stability of income and reasonable liquidity. No
investment shall be made in any security with a maturity greater than ten (10) years from the
date of purchase.
VII. SELECTION OF SECURITIES
The Investment Manager will determine which instruments shall be purchased and sold and the desired
maturity date(s) that are in the best interest of the County. The selection of an instrument will involve
the evaluation of, but not be limited to, the following factors:
i. Cash flow projections and requirements.
ii. Current market conditions.
iii. Overall portfolio balance and makeup.
VIII. CUSTODY AND SAFEKEEPING OF SECURITIES
New Hanover County will maintain a third -party safekeeping account for all investments. Transactions
should be processed on a delivery versus payment basis.
IX. INTERNAL CONTROLS
The Finance Director is responsible for establishing a system of internal controls. These controls are
designed to prevent losses of public funds arising from fraud, employee error, misrepresentation by
third parties or imprudent actions by County employees.
X. REPORTING
The Investment Manager shall submit a monthly investment report to the Finance Director. The report
shall include a general description of the portfolio in terms of investment securities, maturities, yields
and other features. The report will show investment earnings for the month and fiscal year-to-date,
including the annualized earned yield percentage for the portfolio. The report will compare actual
investment earnings with budgeted earnings.

NEW HANOVER COUNTY FINANCIAL SUMMARY
QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2021
INTRODUCTION:
Attached is a brief fiscal summary for select New Hanover County funds for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Included is a summary
of revenues and expenditures as recorded by the County for the General, Debt Service, Environmental Management, and Fire
Services Funds.
This information is provided to help keep you abreast of the financial status of the County on a regular basis throughout the fiscal
year. Data provided by fund includes:
• Actual revenues and expenditures for the previous fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019;
• Budget revenues and expenditures for the current fiscal year ending June 30, 2021;
• Actual revenues and expenditures as of the end of the quarter for select fiscal years;
• Percentage of actual revenues/expenditures received/spent for the same period the previous fiscal years;
• Percentage of budget revenues/expenditures received/spent for the current fiscal year; and
• Graphical comparison of actual amounts as a percent of budget for all fiscal years presented.
GENERAL FUND HIGHLIGHTS:
As the chart highlights, many revenues are not received, nor expenses paid, evenly throughout the year.
• Ad valorem tax collections through the third quarter are approximately 97.0% of budgeted amounts which is relatively
consistent with the last two years.
• Sales taxes are received from the State two and one half months following the month in which they are collected by the
vendors across North Carolina. Thus, six months of sales tax has been received through the third quarter and represents
56.9% of budgeted sales tax. This is higher than the two previous year third quarter collections.
• Other Taxes exceed prior year collections in both the dollar and in the percentage of collection through the third quarter. As
of March 31, 2021, total Other Taxes have exceeded the total budget for the year. This is due to real property transfer taxes
being higher than budgeted.
• Intergovernmental revenues are significantly higher than prior year in both dollar and collection percentage mainly due to the
Emergency Rental Assistance grant received.
• Operating expenditures in most County functions are in line with expectations through the third quarter with the human
services function and cultural & recreation functions are slightly below expectations. Human services are trending lower
partially due to the Emergency Rental Assistance program budgeted in FY21 and culture and recreation is trending lower in
part due to lingering effects of COVID and lower utility costs.
DEBT SERVICE FUND HIGHLIGHTS:
• Ad valorem tax collections through the third quarter generated by the 6.47 cent dedicated tax rate was approximately $22.6
million, which is higher than the last two years.
• Debt service is paid from this fund when those payments come due.
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT FUND HIGHLIGHTS:
As with the General Fund, many revenues and expenses do not fall evenly throughout the year for Environmental Management.
• Charges for Services is lower than prior year at $12.1 million collected through the third quarter. This equates to 62.5% of
the budgeted charges for services compared to prior year at 68.8% of total annual charges for services.
• Operating expenditures as a percent of budget were 56.5% which is less than prior year at 71.3%. Hurricane expenses,
debt service and capital expenses occur when related capital assets are needed and payments are due.
FIRE SERVICES FUND HIGHLIGHTS:
Again, as with the General Fund, many revenues and expenses do not fall evenly throughout the year for Fire Services:
• Collections of ad valorem tax of $10.5 million is relatively consistent with prior year and represent 96.1% of budgeted ad
valorem revenue.
• Sales taxes are received from the State two and one half months following the month in which they are collected by the
vendors across North Carolina. Thus, six months of sales tax has been received through the second quarter and represent
52.2% of budgeted sales tax.
• Operating expenses are slightly lower than prior year at $2.7 million, or 70.9% of budgeted expenses, and salaries are fairly
consistent with previous year's expenditures.
• Debt service and capital expenses occur when related capital assets are needed and payments are due.

Why do you wish to serve on this board or committee?
Airlie Gardens are a unique asset for Wilmington. Growing up on a farm and earning a degree in agriculture/agronomy, I have a
strong understanding of what is needed to maintain and cultivate green space. In the past three years, working thorough my
church and in partnership with Wilmington Green, we have established Willowdale Urban Farm. Beyond providing thousands of
pounds of produce to those in need, it also provides green space to the community. I enjoy this type of engagement and believe
I could assist at the gardens, helping to preserve it as an outstanding, historic public garden.
What areas of concern would you like to see addressed by this committee?
Sustainability is always an issue for public facilities. As an estate planner, I could assist by ramping up efforts to secure
donations from area residents through bequests.
While working for Cape Fear Realtors, I tripled the number of sponsorship dollars through the Business Partners program. My
hope, would be to assist with the same fundraising support at the gardens.
Qualifications for serving:
Bachelor of Science, Agriculture/Agronomy
Founder, Willowdale Urban Farm
Led community efforts by Cape Fear Realtors for 5 years, which led to dozens of raised bed gardens being installed throughout

Why do you wish to serve on this board or committee?
My father's family has resided in Wilmington for several centuries and I grew up visiting and spending entire summers here - the
museum and other historic sites - immersing myself in the city and region's rich history. The late Dr. Ernest Bulluck was my
great -great grandfather and founded the old Bulluck Hospital. I've finally settled here and would like to be an active member of
the historical community, especially seeing this local gem thrive well into the future.

Additional Information:
Mr. Bulluck included the following additional information via email:
• Dr. Bulluck was my great grandfather
• 1 pursued a Master of Arts in History from High Point University from 2008-12, majoring in
American History, minoring in European History. I completed 36 hours, ending up with a GPA of
3.81, but was unable to complete my thesis on time due to health issues related to a spinal
tumor. While I feel that experience in graduate school is beneficial to such a board, I didn't want
anyone to think I earned a graduate degree.

Why do you wish to serve on this board or committee?
I believe that the museum, under the appropriate appreciation for, and implementation of,New Hanover County history, would be
a destination, not only for local and state visitors, but also international visitors. Highlighting the Verrazzano* landfall; Wilmington
10, 1898 Coup d'etat, Revolutionary War headquarters; river history, pirate history, local cemetery notables has not been given
adequate and complete recognition by the Cape Fear Museum.
*First European to touch "landfall" in the North America--500 year celebration in 2024
What areas of concern would you like to see addressed by this committee?
More complete and enhanced exhibits that are currently displayed. More exhibits should be displayed. There could be an
enlarged and enhanced design to make the Museum self sustainable.
Qualifications for serving:
I have organized, designed, and implemented many programs that were successfully brought to completion. Thinking "outside of
the box" and following through on plans is one of my strengths.

Why do you wish to serve on this board or committee?
I enjoyed 38 years in a career filled with success and accomplishment. Since then, I have filled my time with giving back to the
community as a reimbursement, for the blessings I have received. I believe that working with the New Hanover County ABC can
increase the benefits I can deliver to my community in an even greater incremental manner.
Experience, from level 1 positions through the Director's level, taught me sales and merchandising, reinforced successful
consumer- oriented practice, drove the understanding of competitive product knowledge. I recruited, educated, and developed
colleagues that went on to become leaders in their subsequent careers.
At Diageo, I focused on trade associations, legislators and regulators, and community groups.
This experience led to action, focused on regulatory, trade, and community interactions that propagate a harmony between adult
beverage enjoyment and the safeguard of quality of life practices.
I want to give back at my highest level of expertise.

Why do you wish to serve on this board or committee?
As a lifelong resident of New Hanover County, I would like to be involved in the community now that I have a bit more time to do
so. I have known some members of the ABC Board many years ago and feel that it is an area I could contribute to with my
years of experience in the business community in Wilmington. Personnel issues, facility issues, and providing fair but profitable
services and goods are all areas I have spent most of my working years involved in and now that I am semi retired I have the
time and ability to offer my experience in a different but meaningful way.
What areas of concern would you like to see addressed by this committee?
I am sure the ABC board has the same concerns that many businesses face today. Personnel issues, fairy pay, product
decisions, facility maintenance and more. All while being attentive to the legal and aspects of the business.
I would welcome the opportunity to participate in and hopefully add value to such issues and decisions that the board deals with.
Qualifications for serving:
President and owner of Andrews Mortuary for over 40 years developing business skils that I believe can apply to many other
types of business
Lifelong resident of Wilmington and New Hanover County
Semi retired and have the time and ability to devote to helping continue a successful business model for ABC stores
Desire to be active in the community in other ways than operating my own business

Why do you wish to serve on this board or committee?
I come from a state, NJ, which has private liquor stores, so that I can provide a different perspective to New Hanover County
ABC Sores. Also I am from a field that is not directly related to alcohol, so that I can again provide a unique perspective to the
Committee.
I feel that alcohol, especially in this age of COVID and social isolation, plays an important part in people's lives. I feel my life
experience would provide a different perspective to New Hanover County ABC Board and would welcome the opportunity to
help serve New Hanover County residents.
What areas of concern would you like to see addressed by this committee?
1. 1 would like to see a greater variety of different brands of alcoholic beverages, in order to provide more variety for consumers.
2. 1 would like to support local North Carolina Distilleries and have more local products for sale.
3. 1 recommend trying to streamline the checkout procedure if possible.
4. 1 would like to try to see if liquor prices could be made lower, but look for other cost savings, so that profits would be the
same. I think that New Hanover County loses a large volume of liquor sales to South Carolina, as New Hanover County
residents often drive to Myrtle Beach where alcoholic beverages are lower in cost.
Qualifications for serving:
As a retired physician who practiced for 33 years, I am used to dealing with patients, who one could consider as consumers, as
well as my office staff, which would be analogous to the ABC Store employees. Additionally, I was elected Chairman of the
Department of Medicine at Somerset Medical Center, by my peers for four years. I was responsible for managing a 200
physician department.
Therefore, I feel that I have expertise and background useful to the ABC Board.

Why do you wish to serve on this board or committee?
Having lived 31 years in New Hanover County I've seen many changes in our area. I watched as the NHC ABC Board pulled
itself out of the salary controversy. I'm happy to see the board working with an operating budget and clear rules and regulations.
With my knowledge of the diverse population of our area, I'd love to be a part of the continued growth of one of our county's
largest assets.
What areas of concern would you like to see addressed by this committee?
Growth in newly expanding areas of our county, a continued strong relationship with the Sheriffs Office, balancing the profits of
our stores with the safety of our citizens.
Qualifications for serving:
Concern for the people of our community, the profits of our community and balancing the two.

Why do you wish to serve on this board or committee?
The local ABC Board distributes nearly $6 million to local governments and agencies. Currently there is pressure to reconfigure
or modify the Statewide system. My background in government and understanding of budgets give me a unique perspective to
serve on this board.
What areas of concern would you like to see addressed by this committee?
Continued disbursements Countywide and growth of revenue to facilitate more disbursements.
I would like to see our local Board more involved in preventing underage drinking, as well as addressing substance abuse.
Qualifications for serving:
Former Commissioner.
I understand budgeting.
I have my finger on the pulse of the community and can reach out to leaders to perhaps leverage the ABC disbursements.

Why do you wish to serve on this board or committee?
The New Hanover County ABC'Board has an extremely important role in our local community. It ensures the orderly sale of
alcoholic beverages to our citizens and tourists, including maintaining good customer service. This results in substantial revenue
that can be returned to our local governments and law enforcement. Simultaneously, it needs to ensure that such alcohol sales
are legal and properly controlled, and support those efforts with law enforcement. The New Hanover County ABC Board also
has excellent employees, and ensuring they are properly supported and trained also is important. All of these are extremely
important efforts, and I would welcome the chance to be a partner in these efforts as a board member. I grew up in New
Hanover County (graduated from Laney High School in 2001) and returned to our community in 2011 following law school. I
have been involved with nonprofits and other government boards since returning, and believe this board would be a good fit. I
also spent some time studying North Carolina's unique alcoholic beverage control/retail system when I was earning my masters
degree in public policy at Duke University, and also working at the General Assembly.
What areas of concern would you like to see addressed by this committee?
I would like to ensure the Board continues to return necessary funds to our local governments while supporting law
enforcement, and promoting excellent customer service in balance with appropriate control/oversight of alcohol sales and
distribution.
Qualifications for serving:
I grew up in New Hanover County and then returned in 2011. While away, I attended UNC-Chapel Hill then taught high school
math for two years through the Teach For America program. I then earned a Master in Public Policy degree from Duke
University and my law degree from UNC-Chapel-Hill. Since returning to New Hanover County, I have maintained an active law
practice. I also have served on several nonprofit and government boards (see attached resume) and have otherwise been very
involved in the community.
Other municipal or county boards/committees on which you are serving:
None at this time.

Why do you wish to serve on this board or committee?
I believe I can add value to the Airport Authority with over 40 years of experience in the business community of Wilmington. The
airport has an important role in the ongoing development of Wilmington and I think my experience in managing staffing, facilities,
and offering services in my business would transfer well to the those same areas at the airport.
What areas of concern would you like to see addressed by this committee?
I think keeping Wilmington competitive with regards to other airports is a main focus. Keeping travelers flying from ILM as
opposed to driving out of town, as I have done myself at times.
Also helping to entice other airlines to come here and encourage those already here to offer good service and expand their
service of possible.
Qualifications for serving:
President and owner of Andrews Mortuary for over 40 years.
Experience in providing service and quality to the general public
Lifelong resident of Wilmington and interested in seeing our city continue to grow and prosper

Professional Activities
I retired from the Wilmington Fire Department in January 2020 as an assistant fire chief and served in various roles with the
department, including fire marshal, chief of operations, and chief of support services. I was chairman of the New Hanover
County Public Safety Communication Board (911 Center) for several years.
I am a lifetime member of the North Carolina Association of Fire Chief and a Chief Fire Officer through the Center for Public
Safety Excellence. I was previously the president of the North Carolina Fire Marshal's Association for two years.
I speak nationally on community risk reduction and data's importance, and I recently co -instructed a class at the National Fire
Academy in Emmitsburg, Maryland.
Since my retirement, I have been working as a consultant for two different firms, primarily conducting the risk assessments for
various types of reports such as a standard of cover, utilization studies, station locations, and master plans for fire departments.
I also developed an Outcome Measures Guide for fire departments for Vision 20/20 (www.strategicfire.org) and serve as one of
their technical advisors for community risk reduction.
Volunteer Activities
I am a lifetime member of the Optimist Club of Winter Park and initially joined in 1998 and served as secretary for five years. My
wife and I were active with the softball program before our children were bom and continued when our daughters played. I still
enjoy selling Christmas trees each year at the park for the club.
I have volunteered at the church we attend (Winter Park Baptist Church) by serving on several committees. I recently served on
the buildings and grounds committee and spent many hours helping with repairs to the buildings after Hurricane Florence. The
storm caused more than $750,000 in damage to the campus.
I am currently volunteering with the Wilmington Fire Department and assisting them with fire code inspections to maintain my
Level III Fire Inspector certification.
Why do you wish to serve on this board or committee?
Since my retirement, I have considered how to give back to our community and have always had a particular interest in the
airport. When I worked for New Hanover County Fire Rescue as a fire inspector, I conducted the fire and life safety inspections
for all of the buildings on airport property, including the FBO's and the terminal. As someone with a safety and planning
background, I can bring a different perspective to the board.
What areas of concern would you like to see addressed by this committee?
The current renovation and expansion of the main terminal will provide enhanced service for those arriving or departing from the
airport. Because I have a fire service and safety background, I would like to see the continued support of the airport's security
and fire protection needs. The authority needs to ensure that the public safety team receives the proper training and equipment
required during an emergency event.
Continue to enhance the partnerships with New Hanover County Fire Rescue, New Hanover Regional EMS, New Hanover
County Sheriffs Department, New Hanover County Emergency Management, and the Wilmington Fire and Police Departments.
Without these organizations and other federal agencies' support, it will be challenging to protect the airport's customers.
Qualifications for serving:
As previously stated, I have a fire service background and have been a lifelong resident of Wilmington and New Hanover
County except for two years in Greensboro while attending college. I received my Masters of Public Administration from the
University of North Carolina Wilmington with a concentration in Urban and Regional Policy and Planning.
While working for Wilmington, I assisted the planning department in developing a new comprehensive plan to guide future
growth. I was a member of the technical review committee, which looked at all new site development in the city, such as fire
protection, stormwater, traffic, utilities, and land development code. Each of these different areas has to work together when
new development wants to build in the city. I believe this background will assist the airport as it moves forward with future
commercial development on airport property.

Applicant's Employer
General Electric
Occupation
Program Manager - Engineering
Professional Activities
Manage and engaged in engineering activities designed to improve the safety and economics of electric power plants through
cooperative sharing of workloads among power plant owners ( e.g. reduce utility owner's project cost through cost sharing by
facility operators). I have a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Northwestern University with 35 years experience.
Volunteer Activities
Currently volunteer with projects that support the Local United Way through GE; Currently volunteer as a CEO and a board
member of a NC non-profit in Burgaw that fosters aviation education (Legend Aero Holdings); currently volunteer for
experimental aircraft association (EAA 297) to develop regional fly -ins and antique car shows.
Why do you wish to serve on this board or committee?
I have a long term interest in improving and foster regional aviation. This interest developed while in high school when I worked
for the local airport fueling aircraft and maintaining airport facilities.
What areas of concern would you like to see addressed by this committee?
Would like to see or foster continual long term improvements in ILM's airport facilities & operations; in addition to possibly
fostering ILM involvement in aviation related community activities even though the activities/events may not occur at ILM.
Qualifications for serving:
Ph.D Mechanical Engineering with 35 years management experience. Currently with GE Wilmington managing cooperative
utility improvement projects/programs; currently volunteering as CEO of a NC non-profit fostering aviation education. Prior to
moving to NH County I worked with a rural Idaho Community to identify funding, obtained state funding and then paved their
local airport and also opened a new private airport in rural Idaho. I currently own two aircraft - an experimental open cockpit
biplane (N84MM) and an antique Cessna (N1277D) based in Burgaw NC (Stag Air Park). We also recently started a NC non-
profit and operate a Cub type aircraft (N8924L) to introduce individuals to aviation. Have served as COO of a rural
telecommunications provider (Idaho, Oregon, Washington Arizona and New Mexico service areas), interfacing with communities
on utility issues; have done lobbying in DC on telecom issues, and have operated a small Idaho ranch and equipment company.
I have a strong background in identifying funding & developing small and medium scale engineering projects and so should be a
good fit for the airport board.

William Havens 5/27/20
Why do you wish to serve on this board/committee?
Thanks to my vocation, I am lucky enough to be able to live almost anywhere in the world.
Almost 11 years ago, my wife and I picked up and moved from Seattle to Wilmington because
we saw the city's potential. One of the factors in our decision was our affection for ILM airport.
Having spent most of my life in New York City and then Seattle, I value the efficiency of ILM
and the pride our community takes in the airport. For nearly 30 years, I have worked in the
travel industry, specifically, the design and construction of cruise ships. This work takes me on
journeys all over the world. No matter where I have been, there is no better feeling than landing
at ILM, to walk up the jet -way into the concourse, to see a familiar vendor, to step out of the
terminal smell the salt air and be back home. That's what ILM means to me. With air travel in
such disarray now, I feel more than ever the need to offer my expertise and experience in hopes
of keeping our airport the valuable part of the community it is.
Qualifications for serving:
Three things I bring to the board: project management expertise, a desire to give back to the
community, and the travel experiences of a Million -Miler (both United and Delta), Diamond
Elite.
In my vocation, I manage large-scale construction projects. I work with tight budgets and
timelines and with disparate groups of architects, designers and craftsmen in locations around the
world. This experience would surely benefit ILM as we continue to grow and expand. As
stated previously, I'm a great fan and booster of ILM as a wonderful community asset. I want to
put my talents to work for the continued good of our airport. My firm and our cruise line clients
are currently weathering an unprecedented storm. Keeping our local airport on good footing
going forward through this difficult time is going to require both experience and nimble new
ideas. I am uniquely qualified to offer the board my expertise, my desire to help our community,
plus the knowledge I've gained from decades in the industry.

Why do you wish to serve on this board or committee?
ILM is a key component of infrastructure that will facilitate Wilmington's economic growth. Bringing a local (yet global) business
perspective, and being a part of the growth plans for a developing local economy is an exciting challenge.
What areas of concern would you like to see addressed by this committee?
The challenge of maintaining the "high -touch" service that ILM has built a reputation for, while maximizing reach and minimizing
impact to passenger throughput. ILM will never be the lowest -cost airport, but it can differentiate itself by striving to provide the
best travel experience for hospitality and business travelers alike.
Qualifications for serving:
I've spent the last 10 years leading organizations through transformative growth phases, using principled approaches to scale
and strategically position small businesses in order to maximize shareholder value. Given the pivotal point that ILM is entering in
their growth phase, I feel I can add a very relevant perspective to the board composition.

Why do you wish to serve on this board or committee?
I see NHC International Airport as the next economic engine and growth catalyst platform for our community. I would like to help
guide NHC aviation policy to ensure we attract new business and pleasure opportunities to our area. I believe NHC loses too
much GA business and tax value to surrounding counties and lesser airports/FBO's. As a pilot and plane owner for the last 2
decades I see how our local airport and FBO's compare to others. I believe we can do more to add value to this underutlized
resource. I also think that a fresh and creative approach to partnerships with regional govemtments and airline carriers could
effect commercial pricing and induce many businesses that shy away fromheadquartering in NHC due to air travel options to
reconsider and locate here.
What areas of concern would you like to see addressed by this committee?
Economic value add to commercial airline volume and partnerships. An increase in GA to create new tax base and sales
opportunities for NHC. A renewed effort to monetize the vacant land on airport grounds to drive new growth, enthusiasm , and
interest in our local airport.

Why do you wish to serve on this board or committee?
ILM has served Southeastern NC well. The recent growth of the facility itself addresses future growth. I want to ensure that
future growth is not only viable but profitable. In the past the loss of so much General Aviation to Brunswick County should be
looked at as well as determining whether future goals serve the mission of ILM. It took several years to fully lease the flex
space.
What areas of concern would you like to see addressed by this committee?
The future of ILM runs parallel with SE NC. The Airport Authority Board's mandate is to be proactive regarding additional flights
and expansion of services provided. Recently the economic impact was stated to be $1.6 billion. I would interested in looking at
the Eastern side of the runway for viability to attract more General Aviation; not just corporate jets bu "Mom and Pop" pilots.
Qualifications for serving:
I have kept abreast of the full spectrum of activities at the Airport. I have strong relationships with not only fellow Authority
Members but Staff as well.
My previous work on 4 County Budgets, my fiscal stewardship withe the Fair, and my Financial experience will serve me well.

Why do you wish to serve on this board or committee?
I am an active member of the Wilmington community and frequently use the facilities provided by New Hanover County parks
and gardens. I would like to be more involved as I feel that I have a valuable connection the younger people in the Wilmington
community.
What areas of concern would you like to see addressed by this committee?
I would like to see an increase in community gardens in our county. This is some thing that the Cooperative extension advisory
Council is currently working on, but I feel that the parks and gardens committee could also take an initiative. I am also a frequent
user of the Greenfield skate park. I have a great connection with other patrons of the park and would like to share some of the
concerns that they have.
Qualifications for serving:
I have lived in New Hanover county my entire life and frequently use the facilities provided by New Hanover county parks and
gardens. I am a very active member of the community and serve on multiple boards. I feel that my input could be valuable
because I represent a younger generation that may not currently be represented on the committee. Most importantly, I am very
enthusiastic about volunteer work and I am happy to help in anyway that I can!

Why do you wish to serve on this board or committee?
Parks, and the recreational opportunities they afford, are pivotal to the quality of life in New Hanover County, particularly in light
of the region's significant population growth and demographic diversification. I have dealt with these issues to some extent
throughout my career. Now that I have settled in Wilmington as a permanent resident, I would like to contribute my ideas and
energy to help make our area's parks (existing and those yet to be established) meet the recreational and spiritual needs of the
community and contribute to the quality of life measures that distinguish Wilmington and New Hanover County for both long-
term residents and those, like myself, who have selected New Hanover County as the best place to live. I seek membership on
the Advisory Board as a means for me to say thank you to a great community and to contribute what I can to its continued
expansion and distinction.
What areas of concern would you like to see addressed by this committee?
Our parks already provide great opportunities for traditional group sports. Those should be maintained and, as needed,
enhanced or expanded. My particular interest and focus, however, would be enhancing or expanding the role of parks in
conservation, environmental and historical education, and providing increased opportunities for individual mental and physical
health. Additionally, I am interested in the appropriate integration of parks with local and area social, artistic and public service
activities.
Qualifications for serving:
The range of my professional activities listed above point to the experiences and skills that I would bring to the position of
Advisory Board member. Having served on several conservation boards in the past, and held positions requiring close
collaboration and cooperation with state, local and private entities, I am confident of my ability to work effectively with others. My
range of conservation and park -related experiences provide me both understanding of and commitment to the goals of parks in
recreation, education, and personal fulfillment. Finally, my professional training and conservation -ecological perspective will
enable me to contribute to the Advisory Board and to area parks in a manner that I believe will serve the public and add value to
our parks and the park experience.

Retired from US Fish & Wildlife Service in 2017
Board of Commissi3ners - June 22, 2021
ITEM: 19- 7 - 9
Occupation
Conservation
Professional Activities
I received a Ph.D. in the field of plant ecology. I worked at Oregon State University and New Mexico State University before
becoming a free-lance writer and consultant on conservation issues. In the 1990s I extended my work to include advising on
national parks in El Salvador, Malawi (East Africa), and Tanzania and Zimbabwe, I worked closely with the Navajo nation on
land conservation issues, and with villagers in Africa on community -based conservation initiatives. In the early 2000's I served
as an assistant to the Assistant Secretary, Department of the Interior, on issues ranging from National Parks to land
preservation, including providing financial support and guidance to land conservancies in Maine and elsewhere. In 2006 1 joined
the staff of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, providing support to community conservation efforts. I retired from the USFWS in
2017. During the span of my professional career I have written extensively on parks, conservation lands, and conservation
issues, including dozens of opinion articles in publications such as the WallStreet Journal and the New York Times. I have
authored two books on conservation, including one on Rocky Mountain National Park. Additionally I have contributed articles to
numerous conservation books.
Volunteer Activities
My volunteer"activities include trail maintenance on the Appalachian Trail, short-term support for the U.S. Peace Corps in Africa,
establishment of a local conservation museum and community conservation park in Nelson County, Virginia, volunteer Board
member of the Wintergreen Performing Arts (Nelson County), volunteer Board member of High Country News (Paonia, CO),
volunteer Board member of the Southwest Environmental Center (Las Cruces, NM), volunteer election worker in Virginia and
North Carolina and, most recently, participant in the Rails to Trails project linking Cape Fear Community College to North 10th
Street along the former Atlantic Coast Railroad line.
Why do you wish to serve on this board or committee?
I wish to serve on the board for three reasons.
First, I have a passion for conservation and parks. I consider membership on the Board as an important channel for that
passion. I believe I can contribute significantly to the mission of the Board.
Second, I have skills specific to the needs of the board. Over the span of my professional career I have worked closely with
conservation organizations to organize public participation and engagement, raise funds, develop programs, and establish and
coordinate conservation partnerships and partnership activities.
Three, I have a long professional track record of collaboration and cooperation with the public, recreation user groups, agencies
and fellow workers.
What areas of concern would you like to see addressed by this committee?
Sustainability is my greatest concern. Specifically, how do we meet the financial needs of existing conserved areas while, in
tandem, expand conserved areas to meet specific conservation and public recreation goals. Allied with this concern is the
challenge of how best and most effectively to engage the public in developing and protecting sustainable parks and appropriate
recreation - and, critically, how to establish the partnerships needed to make this happen.
Qualifications for serving:
My professional career examples my qualifications:
* Lifelong career in conservation related areas
* Lifelong career working with communities and land -managing agencies
* Lifelong career in fund raising
*Lifelong career in partnership formation and collaboration
* Lifelong career addressing parks and conservancies

appointments, and attendance standards. Such bylaws are subject to the approval of the
Governing Board.

chair or designee, and two other members. In addition, the chair or designee of the Area Authority
Network Council shall serve on the Governing Board as a non -voting member. The county
commissioner members of the Governing Board shall serve one three-year term without

Consumer and Family Advisory Committee chair, the other Regional Advisory Board members
selected for the Area Authority Governing Board shall be from different counties.
