Johnston County Economic Development Director , stated he was joined by two representatives from Colonial Carton Corporation of Clayton , North Carolina , Mr Joe Elphick , CEO and Mr Bob McTernan , Director of Finance Mr de Sherbinin noted the purpose of the hearing was to review a proposed Economic Development Incentive Grant Agreement between the County of Johnston , the Town of Clayton and Colonial Carton Corporation who is proposing an expansion of their Clayton facility Mr de Sherbinin informed the Board that in 2005 when the Colonial Carton facility was completely destroyed by fire , the company chose to rebuild the facility and is now considering an expansion that would increase the size of their operation by one - third He noted their current building is approximately 70,000 square feet in size and the proposed expansion would add 40,000 square feet to their building Mr de Sherbinin stated the cost for the proposed expansion is estimated at 4 million with one - third of this money being used for the building addition and the remaining two - thirds being used to purchase equipment The company employs approximately 100 individuals Mr Joe Elphick addressed the Board and stated Colonial Carton Corporation started in 1979 in Garner , North Carolina , moving to Clayton in the mid 1980s Mr Elphick noted Colonial Carton is privately owned , employing approximately 100 people designing and manufacturing folding cartons that serve pharmaceutical companies and other industries Mr Elphick reported the company had two choices after the fire in 2005 , to either move their location or rebuild The company chose to rebuild a more modern facility and since that time , have experienced a 40 increase in sales during last fiscal year and have budgeted for even more next year Mr Elphick stated the capital expense budget for this fiscal year is 314 million for the equipment and facility expansion Mr Elphick further stated that 107 million is allocated for the facility

would add approximately 15 to 25 employees with the expansion at an average salary of 30,000 to 35,000 per year Mr de Sherbinin informed the Board that the Economic Development Incentive Grant would be for a period of five consecutive years , beginning in 2008 Mr de Sherbinin reported the company’s existing base would freeze and the grant would be based on the new tax investment , estimated to be 4 million in capital expenditures Mr de Sherbinin informed the Board the company’s current tax value is 10,257,484 as of 2007 – 2008 He noted after the company pays their annual taxes , the proposal would allow the company to receive back 50 of their tax payment associated with the new investment only , for five years in an Economic Development Incentive Grant based upon a 4 million projected expansion cost , including building and equipment Mr de Sherbinin explained that half of the estimated tax assessment levied by the County on an annual basis for the proposed 4 million expansion would be approximately 15,600 per year for five years The company will be requesting the Town of Clayton’s participation of the same structure as the County , but based on the Town’s respective tax rate If approved , the total Economic Development Incentive Grant from the Town of Clayton and the County would total approximately 132,000 over five years Commissioner Mims questioned the investment related to equipment as well as the depreciation of the equipment value Mr de Sherbinin verified that two thirds of the investment would be towards equipment purchases and Commissioner Jeffrey P Carver noted that equipment contains different schedules of depreciation for different types of equipment Commissioner Carver questioned the projected value of the expansion stated by the company versus what is proposed in the grant proposal Mr de Sherbinin stated the proposed expansion capital investment isPage1347 August 6 , 2007 – 10 00 am Continued estimated to top at 4 million ; however , the amount is subject to bids and the ability of the company to purchase the equipment Mr de Sherbinin noted however , the grant would be based on 50 of the net new investment There being no further comments , the Chairman closed the public hearing Commissioner Jeffrey P Carver stated Colonial Carton Corporation has been a very successful company and it would have been easy for the company to leave after the fire in 2005 He expressed that the investment by Colonial Carton Corporation in the County as well as the employment of our citizens is very meaningful Commissioner Carver noted the importance of the Economic Development Incentive Grant program in that it not only attracts new businesses , but assists the existing companies such as Colonial Carton Corporation Motion to Approve Economic Development

Commissioner Jeffrey P Carver questioned if the department would be able to borrow the money without having to ask for a tax increase next year Mr Woodard verified that the tax increase the Board approved for the fire district last year will create approximately 50,000 more per year for the department and this would cover the new payment In response to a question from Commissioner Tony Braswell , Mr Woodard stated the Clayton EMS maintains a unit at the Corinth Holders station and the expansion of the 5,000 square feet would help to give the department back their office space that was converted into living quarters for the Clayton EMS Mr Woodard also noted the expansion would add more bays to the building Page2348 August 6 , 2007 – 10 00 am Continued Commissioner Wade M Stewart

Hester reported the reason these funds were requested and received by the County last fiscal year was that those monies would not have drawn interest in the State’s account Commissioner Allen L Mims , Jr questioned if these funds were considered at budget time and asked for clarification on how this would affect the fund balance Mr Massey reported these funds were in the fund balance , and if the Board chooses to distribute the monies to Johnston County Schools , instead of budgeting 45 million from fund balance , 66 million would be coming from fund balance The Commissioners discussed this item at length in an effort to clarify and properly understand the request from Johnston County Schools as well as how the distribution of funds would affect the fund balance Commissioner DeVan

proceeds were to stay with the County office to service debt Commissioner Stewart expressed concern with transferring money to be used for projects that he did not quite understand and noted he would like more information before he voted on the motion Commissioner Jeffrey P Carver noted it would be nice to have a top ten list from the schools of needed projects and what those projects consist of He felt once the lottery money comes in , those funds should be spent in arrears rather than in advance on specified projects Commissioner Carver voiced the need to have a memorandum of understanding between the Board of Commissioners and the Board of Education regarding these requests Commissioner Allen L Mims , Jr noted the Finance Committee had recently met and discussed the request by the bond rating agencies for the County to formalize policies related to the budget process and how much should be left in fund balance Commissioner Mims stated the agencies had recommended if the fund balance

Capital Improvements Program Tim Broome , Director of Utilities & Engineering , stated on May 7 , 2007 , the Board had approved a capital spending plan in the amount of 8,250,000 and since that time , the County has experienced high demands in the water system in locations that were not anticipated Mr Broome informed the Board that the Harnett County water plant expansion , in which the County will be purchasing 2,000,000 gallons of water per day , is not moving as fast as originally planned Harnett County expects to take bids on their expansion in September ; however , staff had expected those bids to be taken last winter Mr Broome expressed his concern with the ambitious construction schedule that Harnett County will be undertaking involving an eighteen month construction period and noted the supply may not be ready in 2009 as planned Therefore , staff is requesting the Board consider amending the capital spending plan specifically with the following changes • Increase the scope of water plant improvements to include an additional clari - cone and a new clearwell • Construct two additional booster pump stations to increase transmission capacity in the 492 zone • Defer construction of the West Elevation booster pump station Page7353 August 6 , 2007 – 10 00 am Continued • Reduce the amount of the fund reserved for purchase of the Harnett County bulk capacity Mr Broome stated if the Board chooses to approve the amendments to the capital spending plan , staff would also request the approval of the water treatment plant improvements budget as well as the booster pump stations budget and corresponding budget amendments In response to a question from Commissioner Wade M Stewart , Mr Broome verified that Harnett County is not moving as fast as originally expected on their water plant expansion in order to provide additional water supply to the County , therefore the County must make alternative arrangements in order to meet total system demand and demand in the high pressure 492 zone Mr Broome also verified that the anticipated 385 million for the Harnett County supply would be paid as Harnett County goes through construction and not before Upon a comment from Chairman Cookie Pope , Mr Broome informed the Board that with the mandatory water conservation in place , the County has been able to reduce the average demand by slightly less than 10 Commissioner W Ray Woodall asked Mr Broome to comment on how serious the County’s water supply is at the present Mr Broome reported there are no problems with the raw water supply in the Neuse River He noted the Town of Smithfield has experienced some issues ; however , the County has been able to get by without purchasing any water from Smithfield The County has purchased some water from Harnett County , for the first time through the Benson connection , but overall he felt the County would be fine Commissioner Stewart inquired if the County has purchased supply from Wayne County Mr Broome reported that the connecting water mains and pumping stations are still under construction at the present time Commissioner Allen L Mims , Jr requested Mr Broome to comment on how water allocations are considered to proposed new subdivisions Mr Broome reported when the construction plans and specifications for the developments are approved , the water allocation is approved also As part of the Technical Review Committee facilitated by the Planning Department , the Utilities Department staff reviews all plats and no water is allocated until the Utilities staff approves the plans and specifications for construction Commissioner Mims asked if there had been any rethought into that review process considering the current water restrictions as well as how swimming pools were affecting the system Mr Broome responded staff is still approving the requests that are received and believe that the alternate day water irrigation policy of three days per week needs to be a permanent policy Mr Broome noted with the alternate d
