2,706,400 Division 2 3 East Clayton Industrial Area Water Transmission Main 741,900 4 1010 Replacement Booster Pump Station 529,200 5 City of Wilson Bulk Water Supply Allocation Purchase 4,313,300 Supplemental funding only to match EPA and Rural Center Grants Ms Coats stated that on February 28 , 2011 , USDA – Rural Development provided the Letter of Conditions for the first four project elements listed above ; however , funding for the bulk water purchase was not available Ms Coats reported that construction of the first project Wilson’s Mills to Cleveland Area Transmission Main – Division 1 was bid in July 2010 and a contract was awarded on September 6 , 2010 , to Monroe Roadway Contractors The project consists of approximately 26,000 lf of 24 ” water main from Wilson’s Mills to Little Creek Church Road She stated that it was urgent that the pipeline segment be in operation by May 2011 in order to meet seasonal high water demand USDA allowed the County to proceed with this project on an emergency basis without jeopardizing subsequent loan funding Ms Coats informed the Board that it is equally urgent to have the Wilson’s Mills to Cleveland Water Transmission Mains – Division 2 project constructed and operational by May of 2012 to meet projected water demands Division 2 consists of 6,100 lf of 24 ” water main on Little Creek Church Road and approximately 18,000 lf of 16 ” connecting mains to SR 1010 and Steel Bridge Road USDA - Rural Development is requiring the County to bid the three remaining project elements at the same time Although the Wilson’s Mills to Cleveland – Division 2 project is ready for bidding , easement and land acquisition most likely will delay bidding of the 1010 replacement booster pump station and the East Clayton Industrial Area water main for over 90 days Ms Coats noted this could jeopardize completion of Wilson’s Mills to Cleveland – Division 2 water mains by May 2012 , and further , pipeline construction bid prices are rising due in most part to pipe material price increases Ms Coats stated the Wilson’s Mills to Cleveland Division 1 project cost is under the loan amount The budget underrun for the Division 1 project could fund construction of part of the Wilson’s Mills to Cleveland Division 2 project , specifically the 6,100 lf of 24 ” water main segment She reported the Division 1 contractor has agreed to accept a change order to complete the 24 ” water main portion of the Division 2 project at the same unit prices as in the Division 1 contract , with the condition that the installation price per linear foot for 24 ” pipePagePage pageNumber7340 April 4 , 2011 – 10 00 am Continued be adjusted for the difference in pipe material cost from July 2010 until March 2011 Construction of the 24 ” main on Little Creek Church Road by change order will improve the chance of completing the Division 2 water mains prior to May 2012 and will facilitate a project contingency in the event costs exceed estimates for the other project elements Ms Coats stated USDA - Rural Development has agreed to the change order for the Division 1 contract , as long as sufficient documentation is provided by the pipe manufacturer and supplier for the increase in pipe material cost Ms Coats stated staff requests the Board’s approval of the change order on Contract Division 1 of the Wilson’s Mills to Cleveland Area Water Transmission Mains in the approximate amount of 573,00000 for Monroe Roadway Contractors She reported the amount is based on set unit prices and estimated quantities required to complete the work and that when the work is completed , a final adjusting change order will identify the exact final contract cost Upon a question by Commissioner DeVan Barbour , Ms Coats stated that an exact time frame on the construction of the 24 ” water main segment has not been negotiated ; however , she anticipated it would take approximately 90 days , under the change order She stated that it should be completed by the time staff is ready to bid the next portion of the project County Manager Rick Hester noted the importance of the construction project to help offset the water supply demands during the summer months Upon a motion by Commissioner DeVan Barbour , seconded by Commissioner W Ray Woodall , and carried by unanimous vote , the Board approved the change order on Contract Division 1 of the Wilson’s Mills to Cleveland Area Water Transmission Mains in the approximate amount of 573,00000 for Monroe Roadway Contractors , with the understanding that when the work is completed , a final adjusting change order will identify the exact final contract cost 6 Public Hearing – 10 15 am – Community Development Block Grant – Public Utilities Advertised in The Smithfield Herald – March 23 and March 30 , 2011 The Chairman opened the public hearing Chandra Coats , PE , Engineering and Construction Manager , explained that North Carolina’s Community Development Block Grant CDBG Housing Development HD Program supports projects that create additional units of affordable housing for low and moderate income LMI households A portion of the program funds has been set aside to be used in conjunction with 2010 or 2011 Low -

HD program funds Ms Coats further stated that the 54 duplex units are in addition to a 48 unit seniors independent living facility on Glen Road for which Carolina Community Developers , LLC has already secured funding Under the County’s current sewer service policy , the development could be served with a new wastewater pump station However , the Utilities Department recommends a new gravity sewer outfall to serve the proposed and future development in the Cleveland Road Glen Road Pierce Road area Ms Coats stated that since the proposed sewer outfall will eliminate the need for at least two new wastewater pump stations and allow for the abandonment of one existing problematic private pump station Glen Road Townhomes , staff would like to facilitate construction of the outfall The grant funds would aid in funding the outfall by reducing thePagePage pageNumber8341 April 4 , 2011 – 10 00 am Continued County’s portion of the project She reported that if the Board continues to support the project , staff will submit a resolution for adoption in May to the Board that would authorize the submittal of a full application She stated the grant will require a Performance Agreement between Johnston County and the developer to ensure the program requirements are met The Performance Agreement will include items such as affordability measures , fair housing plan requirements , and equal opportunity plan requirements Ms Coats introduced Ms Maida Renson from Carolina Community Developers Ms Coats also noted that Skip Green , Grant Consultant , was on hand to answer any questions Maida Renson , President of Carolina Community Developers , informed the Board that the CDBG funds would be extremely helpful in making the housing more affordable She noted that the CDBG funding does come with some income and rent restrictions Ms Renson stated the income of the families living in the housing may not exceed 80 of the Johnston County median income and she noted that in 2010 , Johnston County’s median income was 77,700 Ms Renson reported the rents , including utilities , may not exceed 87400 for a one - bedroom unit , 1,050 for a two - bedroom unit , and 1,212 for a three - bedroom unit The housing is not subsidized , so there is no rental assistance Ms Renson stated Carolina Community Developers is hoping to reduce the rent to a maximum of 55000 for a one - bedroom unit , 65000 for a two - bedroom unit , and 75000 for a three - bedroom unit Additional funding from the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency will also impose restrictions and they will be monitoring the compliance of the development Ms Renson presented architectural plans for the development as well as photos of similar developments At the inquiry of Commissioner Tony Braswell , Ms Renson confirmed the rental amounts do include utilities Upon a question by Commissioner Wade M Stewart , Ms Renson reported that the housing is considered affordable housing with no rental assistance provided At the request of Commissioner Cookie Pope , Ms Coats noted the location of the project on a map for the Board The Chairman asked if there were any others in the audience that wished to speak on the proposed project There being no further comments , the Chairman closed the public hearing Commissioner Tony Braswell moved the Board approve the project as presented by staff and approve for a full CDBG application to be submitted in May Commissioner Jeffrey P Carver seconded the motion , which carried by unanimous vote 7 Juvenile Crime Prevention Council – Proposed Budget for FY 2011 -
