for Approval to Conduct a Comprehensive System Assessment of the Johnston County EMS Emergency Services Director Dewayne West introduced Derrick Duggins as the new Emergency Management Coordinator for Johnston County Mr West informed the Board that the comprehensive system assessment would be part of an ongoing planning opportunity within Emergency Services for Johnston County Mr West explained the assessment would help to anticipate the needs of the County both during a disaster as well as after The assessment would include the following components Regulation and Policy Resource Management Human Resources and Training Transportation Facilities Communication Public Information and Education Medical Direction Trauma Systems Evaluation Mr West noted the Johnston County Emergency Advisory Committee met to review the proposal and unanimously voted to recommend the Board consider approving EMSStar Group , LLC of Annapolis , Maryland to perform the assessment at a cost of 27,61600 Mr West stated EMSStar Group , LLC is highly recommended by neighboring counties , has a wide range of capabilities , and has conducted over 75 similar assessments He reported the proposal was reviewed with stakeholders and noted some of those stakeholders were in the audience in support of performing the assessment Mr West clarified that he felt the Emergency Services Department was currently doing a good job ; however , with the growth occurring in the County , he felt it was time to analyze the existing system , examine related systems , and come up with a snapshot of where Emergency Services currently is as well as project needs for the next five to ten years Commissioner Allen L Mims , Jr questioned if the 27,616 cost was currently in the Emergency Services budget County Manager Rick J Hester stated he would recommend if the Board approves the study , to transfer monies sufficient from the existing capital outlay fund In response to a question from Commissioner Mims , Mr West reported he contacted some of his peers across the State that have contracted with EMSStar and was told those counties were most impressed with the finished product The assessment would be measured against nine standards EMSStar feels is important to Emergency Services ; however , the report would be unique to Johnston County Mr West stated Nash County has utilized EMSStar’s services and have been so pleased they have brought the company back for additional work Commissioner Jeffrey P Carver questioned if the proposal had been sent out to other companies for bid Mr West reported he did not put the proposal out for bid and based his recommendation for EMSStar on their reputation with neighboring areas He noted in checking the company’s references , he only received positive feedback Commissioner Tony Braswell asked when the final product would be available for review Mr West stated the actual assessment would take approximately three days and if approved , he hoped to bring the report back to the Board in December 2007 Upon a motion by Commissioner Allen L Mims , Jr seconded by Commissioner Tony Braswell and carried by unanimous vote , the Board approved the comprehensive system assessment of the Johnston County EMS to be performed by EMSStar at a cost of 27,61600 PagePage pageNumber6419 October 1 , 2007 – 10 00 am Continued 5 Proposed Financial Policy Guidelines Finance Officer John Massey informed the Board that the proposed financial policy guidelines had been developed by the Finance Committee , staff , and representatives from Davenport & Company over the past several months Mr Massey outlined the guidelines and stated he felt the policy would be good for the County to adopt in that it could help with future bond ratings He noted the guidelines would not restrict the County to amounts that would be difficult to operate under and recommended the Board consider adopting the policy as presented Mr Massey introduced Bob High of Davenport & Company to answer additional questions Chairman Cookie Pope asked would the policy allow the County some expansion room with respect to emergencies Mr Massey reported he felt the group had put in numbers that would not restrict the County during times of emergencies County Manager Rick Hester stated although the guidelines would provide some flexibility , the Board could adjust the policy at any time , if needed Commissioner Jeffrey P Carver questioned the Budget Development Policies and specifically asked for an example of “ special revenues ” , under this section Mr Massey reported one example would be if the County had a discovery in the tax office , such funds would not be used for operations Commissioner Carver asked would lottery funds be viewed as “ special revenues ” Mr Massey stated although the County is aware there will be lottery money each year , since the exact amount of the distribution is unknown , he was unsure if lottery funds would fall under the “ special revenues ” category Mr Hester reported the County has designated 2 million of lottery revenue to be used for debt service Commissioner Carver cautioned on budgeting forward any monies coming from the State since those exact amounts are unknown He noted while the Board and staff are specifically aware of the County’s revenue streams , “ special revenues ” can not be relied upon Commissioner Allen L Mims , Jr questioned language under the Reserve Policies section regarding available fund balance percentages outside of what the State requires at the close of each fiscal year Commissioner Mims specifically questioned the statement “ required reserves defined by State statutes ” , and asked if the 15 available fund balance included the required 8 as established by the Local Government Commission LGC th Mr Massey stated available fund balances are calculated on June 30 of each year by subtracting encumbrances , liabilities , and any deferred revenues from cash and investments The net of that amount is the available fund balance Mr Massey further stated that the required 8 would be within the 15 available fund balance Mr High reported 8 is actually not required by State statute , but is the policy and is recommended by the Local Government Commission Mr High further reported the State statute defines what is available for appropriation as simply cash and investments less current liabilities , any payables , encumbrances and all deferred revenues derived from prepayments He noted 8 is more of a policy by the LGC rather than a required amount and if the County was to dip below the 8 level , then the LGC would request the County bring the fund balance back up over 8 in order to have any future debt approved Commissioner Mims questioned if the language was clear to everyone and stated it should possibly be revised so all could understand the guidelines Mr Hester asked Mr High if Johnston County , in comparison to other counties of similar size , was on target with a 15 available fund balance Mr High reported although 15 is on the lower end of the average percentage for similar counties , for a County with a rating of AA , 15 is a reasonable amount In response to a question from Commissioner Tony Braswell , Mr High confirmed in the Reserve Policies section , “ State statute ” is only used for the purposes of defining what those reserves are and does not set exact percentages Commissioner Carver reiterated the Local Government Commission is the agency who actually sets the recommended parameter of 8 PagePage pageNumber7420 October 1 , 2007 – 10 00 am Continued Mr High noted the County , at a 15 available fund balance , is above what the Local Government Commission recommends Commissioner Mims requested , if the policy is approved , for Mr High and Mr Massey to appear before the Board during the budget review process and update the Commissioners on whether or not the County is staying within the established guidelines of the policy Mr Massey reported while it would be difficult to list exact numbers during the budget review process , he would make every effort to project some numbers to show where the County stands in relation to the established guidelines within the policy Commissioner Mims stated he has heard many people comment that the County has an abundance of available funds and this was the real reason the County was granted a rate increase by Standard & Poor’s Commissioner Mims noted this was not the case and requested Mr High to comment on what the bond rating agencies had indicated to the County during the last visits as well as why the County had received the rate increase from Standard & Poor’s Mr High reported the significant reasons the County received a rate increase was due to the County’s good economic base and the growth the County has experienced Further , Mr High stated another reason is that Johnston County has been extraordinarily well managed by the current staff and the bond rating agencies indicated this was a key point during the evaluation process Mr High quoted one of the agencies as stating “ we expect the continued growth and development of the County as well as its strong financial position ” Mr High stated the agencies expect Johnston County to maintain the strong financial position and a “ manageable debt burden as it addresses its growth and capital needs ” Mr High reported the County’s available fund balance is at a reasonable level , even though the level is not at the statewide averages He noted the debt per capita is one of the highest in the state and the portion of the budget tied up into debt service is pushing the maximum The guidelines establish 20 to allow some room for absolute extreme emergencies ; however , Mr High noted 20 is not a level the County would want to get at and maintain Mr High cautioned the County would not keep the current ratings if the 20 level was maintained Commissioner Carver stated by examining the County’s balance sheet , it is easily explainable that the County is making every effort to manage debt responsibly by keeping the amortizations short on bond financing Mr High confirmed the County is acting financially responsible and the rating agencies recognized the ability of the County to maintain financial stability with long term planning Mr Massey reported another reason the debt service as a percentage of the total budget has grown is conservative management by the Board and the County Manager He noted while the County has maintained a level budget , the debt service has had to grow Commissioner Carver reminded everyone that the County will save money due to the last rate increase from Standard & Poors , but noted this is an ongoing event and the County must continue to be fiscally responsible Commissioner Mims reiterated the reason the County received the rate increase was due to good planning and management , and not because the County has an abundance of unappropriated monies Mr High stated that the rating agencies acknowledged the County is under financial stress and the debt limits are high , but they also acknowledged the County is able to manage that stress Mr Hester asked would Mr High notify the bond rating agencies if the Board chooses to adopt the policy Mr High reported he would notify them immediately and stated as part of the recent upgrade the agencies were anticipating the policy to be reviewed for adoption by the Board Chairman Cookie Pope inquired if the language under the Reserve Policies section regarding available fund balance percentages at the close of each fiscal year should be revised for clarity Commissioner Mims noted although he questioned the language early , he had a better understanding now PagePage pageNumber8421 October 1 , 2007 – 10 00 am Continued Mr High reiterated to the Board that the 8 is not required by law ; however , if the County were to dip below that amount , then the Local Government Commission would most likely reject future requests to borrow money Commissioner Mims asked if the 15 available fund balance figure was too low Mr High reported he believes policies are set to be minimum guidelines ; however , in the case of a real emergency such as a flood , storm , or public health situation , the County could drop below the 15 , if needed Commissioner Mims cautioned that everyone must understand it would be for an emergency only if the County was to drop below the 15 level County Attorney Mark Payne stated it is not unusual for the Board to adopt a policy and have staff follow up with clarifying language to make sure everyone understands the purpose In response to a question from Commissioner Mims , Mr Massey reported the County is currently within the range of all the guidelines presented in the policy He noted the debt percentage is close ; however , the County is within range Upon a motion by Commissioner Jeffrey P Carver seconded by Commissioner W Ray Woodall , and carried by unanimous vote , the Board adopted the Financial Policy Guidelines as follows Financial Policy Guidelines For Johnston County , North Carolina FINANCIAL POLICY

Smithfield area for growth as well as encourage small businesses to continue to grow and reinvest in the area Mr Johnson requested the Board to look favorably on the proposal and asked if there were any questions Commissioner Jeffrey P Carver stated the Town of Selma EARP program had centered around one specific spot within Selma and noted the proposed SHARP program was more far - reaching Commissioner Carver asked for more explanation on the boundaries of the proposed SHARP program Mr Johnson reported the SHARP boundaries include the already established municipal service district within the Town of Smithfield which includes a tax on top of the County and Town tax rates Those businesses located within the district pay into the downtown development fund a tax of 019 Mr Johnson indicated it would be easier to manage the program by not singling out any one piece of Smithfield , but to look at the established municipal service district area in its entirety Commissioner Allen L Mims , Jr questioned if the program had a start date or would any projects that are currently underway be able to participate Mr Johnson verified any projects currently underway would not be considered The program would only include future development projects and the applicant would apply for the program during the Town of Smithfield Planning Board review process Mr Johnson reiterated the importance of the program in that he sees it as being a model for other areas in North Carolina He reported the proposal has already received an award through the Main Street Community Chairman Pope noted she was recently in downtown Greenville , South Carolina and was amazed at the number of shops , stores , hotels and restaurants located there Chairman Pope stated she believed Greenville also had a similar incentive program to encourage those types of developments and noted Smithfield could have all the same type of development that Greenville has The Chairman was able to learn that Greenville began their incentive program approximately 15 years ago Mr Johnson stated he would encourage any other municipalities in Johnston County to adopt a similar type program and publicly offered his support to assist those towns with establishing their own policy Chairman Pope called on Smithfield Town Manager Pete Connet to comment on the request Page1424 October 1 , 2007 – 10 00 am
