The EOC was activated at 4:33 p.m. and staffed to a level to declare the facility operational by 5:00 p.m., which was very quick response. The EOC remained open 24 hours per day for four more days and remained opened for day time operations for two more days. The EOC was staffed by 55 staff members representing 9 different county departments. Over 600 people were sheltered. Human Services staffed and facilitated shelter operations which continued until May 6, The County coordinated with FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) and received approval on May 7 to clean up private roads in unincorporated areas of the county.

The normal calls per day received usually averages about 2,200 but that day they received around 3,400 phone calls. They received 2,700 phone calls in the four hour period which is 400 more than they usually do during a 24 hour period. All 911 calls were answered within twenty seconds. Over 70 EMS responders, 85 law enforcement personnel and 200 fire fighters responded out in the field initially. He said on the initial wave of staffing in the EOC there were 20 staff members.

10 Fiscal Year 2011 Final Budget Revisions Betty Lou Ward motioned, seconded by Phil Matthews, to approve budget revisions to the Fiscal Year 2011 General Fund, County Capital Projects Fund, Revaluation Fund, Debt Service Fund and Sewer District Fund. The motion passed unanimously. Hammond Road Detention Center Phase 2 - County Capital Projects and Debt Service Fund: The current Hammond Road Phase 2 Detention Center budget totals $152,499,999.52; another $3,030,000 is budgeted separately for the ARRA funded portion of the project. At this time, it is anticipated that there will be $2.8 million in savings in the project, primarily a result of a favorable bid climate and limited use of project contingency. The project is entirely financed with Limited Obligation Bonds (LOBs) issued in support of the Hammond Road Detention Center Phase 2 project. It is permissible to use LOBs proceeds to pay a portion of the interest costs of the LOBs. In order to use the proceeds to pay interest costs, it is necessary to reduce the appropriation for the Hammond Road Detention Center Phase 2 project and to appropriate the transfer of these proceeds in the Debt Service Fund. County Capital Projects Fund Debt Service Fund Hammond Road Detention Center Phase 2 Revenues Revenues: Limited Obligation Bonds $ (2,800,000.00) Transfer from County Capital $ 2,800, Expenditures: Unallocated Budget CIP $ (2,800,000.00) Program-Wide: Transfer to Debt Service Fund Expenditures Revenues: Limited Obligation Bonds $ 2,800, Bond Interest $ 2,800, Expenditures: Transfer to Debt Service Fund $ 2,800,

11 Public Safety Center Renovation: Currently, there is $211, in remaining funds budgeted for the Public Safety Center under the Detention Facilities Program in the County Capital Projects Fund. Per the capital projects fund ordinance, Board of Commissioner approval is required to move appropriation between programs. It is requested that these dollars be combined with the Public Safety Renovation project which is budgeted under the Public Safety Center program. From: County CIP Detention Facilities To: Public Safety Center Renovation Revenues Revenues Detention Phase 2 PSC Site $ 612, Public Safety Center Renovation $ 500, Transfers From the General Fund (211,474.96) Transfers From the General Fund $ 211, Revised Budgeted Revenues $ 400, Revised Budgeted Revenues $ 711, Expenditures Expenditures Detention Phase 2 PSC Site $ 612, Public Safety Center Renovation $ 500, Unallocated Budget CIP $ (211,474.96) Unallocated Budget CIP $ 211, Revised Budgeted Expenditures $ 400, Revised Budgeted Expenditures $ 711, Revaluation Fund: Real property revaluation is required by Chapter 105, Section 286 of North Carolina General Statutes. To pay for the revaluation, Chapter 153A, Section 150 calls for Counties to establish a reserve account and appropriate annual installments needed to complete the next revaluation. Any revenue designated to revaluation reserves may not be used for any purpose other than the revaluation of real property. These funds have been maintained in a Special Revenue fund. Due to changes in accounting standards and an interpretation by the North Carolina Local Government Commission, the Revaluation Reserve Fund can no longer be accounted for in a Special Revenue Fund. The Revaluation Reserve will be set aside as a subfund (or individual account) in the General Fund s Revenue Department. Any appropriation that is unused at the end of the fiscal year will move to fund balance and be designated for the next revaluation in To close out the Special Revenue Fund, the accumulated fund balance of the Revaluation Reserve Fund must be transferred to the General Fund. The current estimate of the amount to move from the Revaluation Reserve Fund to the General Fund is $2,605,142. In the event Revaluation Reserve Fund actuals exceed or otherwise vary from the estimate, actual net proceeds shall constitute the appropriation moved between the two funds. 11

12 Revaluation Reserve Fund General Fund / Revenue Department Revenues Revenues Appropriated Fund Balance $ 2,605,142 Transfer from Revaluation Fund $ 2,605,142 Expenditures Expenditures Transfer to General Fund $ 2,605,142 Increase to Fund Balance $ 2,605,142 Sewer District Fund: The Sewer District fund was set up in the mid 1990 s to account for the Clean Water Revolving loans issued to assist several sewer districts within the County to construct wastewater systems to connect these districts to public utility treatment systems. The fund also accounted for the special assessments issued for the repayment of these loans. These loans were paid off in FY 2007 and the special assessments have been collected. Therefore, the County no longer has a need for this fund. In order to complete the close out of the Sewer District fund $601,776 will be appropriated and then transferred to the General Fund. In the event Sewer District Fund actuals exceed or otherwise vary from the estimate, actual net proceeds shall constitute the appropriation moved between the two funds. Revenues Sewer District Fund Revenues General Fund / Transfers Appropriated Fund Balance $ 601,776 Transfer from Sewer District Fund $ 601,776 Expenditures Expenditures Transfer to General Fund $ 601,776 Increase to Fund Balance $ 601,776 General Fund Health Insurance: Funds for health insurances come from three sources: the county share, the employee share and the retiree share. The retiree share represents the amount paid to the County by the retiree for the cost of dependent coverage or if the retiree chooses to participate in the plan offering that is not free. During FY 2011, the amounts paid by retirees were not included in the revenues or the expenditures for the health plan. To ensure that sufficient appropriation exists to pay all health claims during the fiscal year, it is necessary to appropriate the funding for retiree payments estimated at $636,

13 General Fund / Non-departmental -- Health Revenues Retiree Payments $ 636,000 Expenditures Health Insurance Claims Payments $ 636,000 Tax Committee Recommendations for Value Adjustments, Late Filed Applications, Collections Refunds and Tax Collections Betty Lou Ward motioned, seconded by Phil Matthews, to accept the Tax Committee Recommendations for Value Adjustments, Late Filed Applications, Collections Refunds and Tax Collections.

Introduction b. Open Public Hearing c. Comments from Interested Parties d. Recess Public Hearing Mr. John Miller, 300 Downs Court, asked the board to provide the county s portion of funding for the Horticulture Agent position in the Cooperative Extension Department. Mr. Thad Woodard, Boys and Girls Club, asked for assistance with the $2.5 million needed for the Boys and Girls Club. Mr. Ralph Capps said that the Boys and Girls Club has educated teens for years and asked for the support of the board as part of the public/private partnership. Mr. Mark Jacques served on the CFAC and on the NAMI. He is in support of mental health funding in the budget for programs. He asked for funding for the 16 additional beds at WakeBrook. Ms. Ruth Peebles, Executive Director, Partnership to End Homelessness, requested the 10% cut be reduced in the affordable housing program which provides homes for the homeless population not be reduced. Ms. Becky Harrison asked for funding support for the homeless programs. Reduction in funding means reduction in services that help citizens and asked that the funding not be reduced. Mr. Rob Griffin, Board Member for CASA, asked for the funding for CASA not be reduced. He said that the cuts to the non-profits will have a large impact on services. Ms. Earline Middleton said that the Food Bank distributes food to the people in the community in need of food. She said that funding cuts would have a great impact. She asked that the funding be restored and not eliminated. Mr. Bob Kellum, 731 Rogers Lane, said that he is a farmer and supports the full funding of the position in Cooperative Extension. Elimination of the Horticulture Agent position would have great impacts on the local farmers and 14

15 the children's programs. He stated the Farmers Market has grown from three to fourteen in three years. He asked the board to reconsider funding the position. Ms. Alice Lutz, CEO of Triangle Family Services, spoke of the 26 week Abuser Treatment Program (DOSE) and its 95% success rate. The county has proposed a reduction of $50,000 to this program. She said the $50,000 from the county is essential to the continuation of this program. Ms. Claire Miller asked that the County Commissioners fund the county's portion ($22,000) of the vacant Horticulture Agent position. The position helps with the Master Gardner Program and shared the activities supported by this position. With the volunteers time donated, this is a great return on investment. Mr. Andy Cook, Interfaith Food Shuttle Board member, introduced Ms. Jill Staton Bullard, Founder and CEO of the Interfaith Food Shuttle, and Mr. Stan Taylor, Vice President of Corporate Planning at WakeMed Hospital and former chairman of the Interfaith Food Shuttle, came forward in support of the Food Shuttle. He asked for restoration of $500,000 in the Wake County Community Partnership Fund. Ms. Eleanor Oakley, United Arts Director, asked for continued support of the United Arts Program. She spoke of the public/private partnership with Raleigh and Wake County and the proposed reduction in funding for United Arts. She stated the reduction would mean a reduction in grants acquired by the program. Ms. Michelle Zechmann, Executive Director of Haven House Services, spoke of the reduction proposed in the Juvenile Crime Prevention Council budget. She said the funds have been received for 33 years. The reduction will impact 700 kids and could mean the elimination of two programs, with one being for kids involved in gang related activities. The Community Service program may be reduced which is where the kids work to pay back the victims. It would also slow down the court system. Ms. Karen Rindge, WakeUp Wake County, said that she has served on the Wake County Sustainability Task Force. She asked that the board support the schools' budget. She noted a real estate transfer tax should be considered for additional revenue. Without critical funding for the schools, Wake County Public Schools will rank 49th in the nation for per pupil funding. Ms. Lynn Edmonds asked that the board support school funding in light of the additional 3,400 new students expected and the additional 6,000 students received in the last two years, with no additional funding support. She asked for an increase in per pupil allotment. 15

16 Ms. Charlotte Mitchell, Board of Directors of the Women s Center of Wake County, asked for support of community partners (9 Agencies) that support the needy and homeless in Wake County. She spoke in support of the Affordable Housing Program. Mr. Kent Goddard spoke of support for WakeBrook and funding the staffing of the additional 16 beds. He said it was not acceptable for the county to not move forward on the WakeBrook facility and opening the upstairs unit.

In addition, all awards are contingent upon the basic terms as identified in the project descriptions, including funding commitments from the financial partners as identified. The motion passed unanimously. Approval of a Multi-Year Contract with Daymark Recovery Services to Provide Facility-Based Crisis and Non-Hospital Medical Detoxification Services Dr. Carlyle Johnson, Wake County LME Director, stated they had completed a request for proposals process for selection of a provider to operate a 16-bed 17

18 unit at WakeBrook to provide 24/7/365 crisis stabilization services and each unit will be dually licensed to provide Facility-Based Crisis and Non-Hospital Detoxification services. This unit will serve as an alternative to inpatient psychiatric hospitalization for adults with mental illness and substance abuse problems who are in need of short term (3-5 days) care to stabilize an acute crisis situation or safely withdraw individuals from substances such as alcohol, opiates, barbiturates and other drugs. These services are new to Wake County and will provide a local residential crisis resource for Wake County residents who often must receive services in state psychiatric facilities or inpatient psychiatric units in other counties. The selection committee reviewed the vendor responses from Daymark Recovery Services and Southlight, conducted staff interviews, contacted references. and visited a community provider of facility-based crisis and non-hospital medical detoxification services. The selection committee recommended a multi-year contract with Daymark Recovery Services, effective July 1, 2011, with anticipated initiation of service delivery by September 1, The Human Services Board has reviewed and endorsed the recommendation to award this contract to Daymark. County funding in the amount of $2,114,099 will be budgeted for FY 12 for start-up and operational expenses. He recognized Mr. Billy West with Daymark for comments. Mr. West shared that the business was formed 9 years ago and serves 27 counties. Tony Gurley motioned, seconded by Phil Matthews, to authorize the County Manager to enter into a three-year contract with Daymark Recovery Services to Provide Facility-Based Crisis and Non-Hospital Medical Detoxification Services, with the option of two additional one-year renewals, subject to terms and conditions acceptable to the County Attorney. The motion passed unanimously. Chairman Coble asked the County Manager to clarify the questions regarding implementation and funding of the two units. Mr. Cooke said that this is one of two contracts for the two-16 bed units. The approval of the contracts and budget allows moving ahead with the State of North Carolina licensing procedure. No patients will be seen before August or September and then a six month evaluation on utilization and trends will be done on this unit to help determine the best use of the remaining 16 beds. Resolution to Revise the Residence Districts for the Wake County Board of Commissioners Chairman Coble said that a resolution revising the residential districts for the Wake County Board of Commissioners' districts for the next election was provided in the agenda. He recognized Commissioner Ward on her request to present an additional map for consideration. Commissioner Ward provided a copy of an amended map to each of the commissioners. 18

19 Commissioner Ward circulated another map with her request that the dividing line for District 6 move to Highway 1, the precincts between her district and Highway 1 be added to her district. Paul Coble motioned, seconded by Tony Gurley, to adopt a Resolution with map provided by staff revising the residence districts for the Wake County Board of Commissioners. Commissioner Gurley said that all the seven districts were within 10% on the map the staff prepared for the agenda which addressed his concern for balance between districts. Commissioner Ward said that she had no input on the proposed map and did not think adding a simple extension to her district was not an unreasonable request. She expressed concern about the Chairman and his choice to not look at her request was puzzling. She said she had checked with Commissioner Bryan about moving her district into his district and he was not opposed to the request. She was not opposed to using population on the other side of her district for the other commissioner's district. She questioned the input she had on the maps and who participated in the generation of the map. She said she had no input into the proposed map. Chairman Coble said it was made clear that anyone who wanted input on the districts should let him know. He stated everyone else had input and he spent time with everyone who called him or sat down to talk about the map. He said he did not receive any comments from her until he received an from her this morning with a map. Commissioner Gurley said that his only concern was that the districts be within 10%. With all commissioners elected county-wide, the districts should be similar to allow for a fair opportunity to run for the board of commissioners. He said he was not concerned with where the precinct lines fell but was concerned about there being a 10% relationship between districts and the proposed map meets that criteria. Commissioner West said he had become educated on this topic through a lot of give and take discussion with the Chairman. He said his district was probably the most effected by going from 52,310 to 130,474 in population. He said there was continuity of districts and maintains the integrity of the plan. He supported the map provided in the agenda. Commissioner Ward said that staff developed the map she provided at her request. She saw no reason why Commissioner Coble would not support her map. She said Chairman Coble's district goes into her district and Commissioner Gurley s district changed enough that he s residence is no longer 19

20 in the district. Commissioner Ward once again, asked that the board consider supporting her proposal. Commissioner Bryan said that he was satisfied with the original proposal. He said the new proposal does not appear to be as systematic and takes his district to 103,000 which is significantly below the other districts. He said it seemed to him that the pam it should have been more of a comprehensive plan. He questioned why a commissioner would support being drawn out of his district. Commissioner Gurley noted his plan to be Lt. Governor.
