This agenda item is to revise the Compensatory Time provision of the Personnel Policy (Article III, Section 12). It will allow
non-exempt employees to retain and carry over up to twelve (12) hours of compensatory time into each fiscal year. This
will allow employees to use their retained compensatory time until they have the ability to accumulate more hours. This
amount is reasonable and will not put an undue hardship on the City. The Compensatory Time provision was originally
changed to deter large amounts of compensatory time to accumulate and be paid at a much higher pay rate.
05b
No
I move Council to approve the revision to Article III, Section 12, Overtime Pay Provisions, of the Personnel Policy as
presented.
See below.
AgendaAgendaAgenda
Section 12. Overtime Pay Provisions
Employees of the City can be requested and may be required to work in excess of their regularly
scheduled hours as necessitated by the needs of the City and determined by the Department
Head. Overtime work should normally be approved in advance by the Department Head, City
Manager or other designated City official.
To the extent that local government jurisdictions are so required, the City will comply with the Fair
Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The Human Resources Officer shall determine which jobs are "non-
exempt" and are therefore subject to the Act in areas such as hours of work and work periods,
rates of overtime compensation, and other provisions.
Non-exempt employees will be paid at a straight time rate for hours up to the FLSA established
limit for their position (usually 40 hours in a 7-day period; 171 hours for police and 212 hours for
fire personnel in a 28 day cycle). Hours worked beyond the FLSA established limit will be
compensated in either time or pay at the appropriate overtime rate. In determining eligibility for
overtime in a work period, only hours actually worked shall be considered; in no event will
vacation, sick leave, or holidays be included in the computation of hours worked for FLSA
purposes. Compensatory leave balances may not exceed 240 hours except for public safety
employees (sworn police and firefighting employees) who may not accrue more than 480 hours.
Any overtime worked after such maximum balances must be compensated in pay.
Employees are required to use or be paid for compensatory time before the start of each fiscal
year, by June 30th. Employees if they choose, may retain and carry over up to twelve (12) hours
of compensatory time each fiscal year. All other Any unsed compensatory time will be paid out,
in accordance with FLSA standards, upon the last pay period for the fiscal year. Departments
Heads may exercise discretion in the manner in which employees accrue compensatory time or
are paid for overtime.
Whenever practicable, departments will schedule time off on an hour-for-hour basis within the
applicable work period for non-exempt employees, instead of paying overtime.
Employees in positions determined to be “exempt” from the FLSA (as Executive, Administrative
or Professional staff) will not receive pay for hours worked in excess of their normal work periods.
These employees may be granted flexible time by their supervisor on an hour for hour basis where
the convenience of the department allows. Such flexible time is not guaranteed to be taken and
ends without compensation upon separation from the organization.

Requesting to setup a capital project ordinance for the Glenbrook Gravity Sewer Improvements project. This project was
approved in the current FY15-16 budget/CIP. The project was just bid out and is expected to lapse the end of the fiscal
year. In order to ensure proper accounting and capitalization of assets, it is recommended that this project be moved to a
multi-year capital project. This will also increase the City's ability to look back and provide the full cost of the project
easily.
The Water/Sewer Fund already has the required $400,000 budgeted and is moving that money to a transfers account
which will then transfer over to the attached capital project ordinance.

The Public Works Department is having difficulties selling our mulch. After considering different options, we would like
City Council's approval to give our mulch away for free until mid-October. After mid-October, we will revert back to our
normal price for the mulch which is $10 per pickup load.
N/A
This should result in a loss of revenue for our Environmental Services Fund but we are not able to sell the mulch so
technically it is not impacting our budget.
I move to allow the Public Works Department to offer free mulch to the public until mid-October 2016.

Mad Mountain Mud Run and Family Mud Fun: On April 21, 2016, the Special Events Committee met and reviewed an
application from Hands On for the Mad Mountain Mud Run and Family Mud Fun to be held Friday, June 3, 2016 from
6:00 P.M. – 8:00 P.M. and Saturday June 4, 2016, from noon – 7 P.M.
The event will be held at Berkeley Park and quarry. The family mud fun will be held on Friday night and will include dinner
and music with family mud games. The mud run will be held on Saturday and will include a festival as well as the mud run.
The application includes approval of the designated area for the consumption of alcohol. The area will be the same as last
year. The area encompasses about 40,000 square feet to the west of the baseball field, including the picnic shelter, rest
rooms and stage. Approval of the area authorizes the sponsors to serve alcohol at Berkeley Park in the specified area in
conjunction with the special event permit. The City Police Department reported that there were no problems with the
alcohol consumption at this event last year. The event pays for three off-duty police officers.
The Special Events Committee voted unanimously to recommend approval of a special event permit for Mad Mountain
Mud Run and Family Mud Run.

Portions of the Mud Creek Dump were discovered during the Jackson Park Sewer Interceptor project. The discovery led to
a first phase study performed by Hart & Hickman, PC, an environmental consulting firm, and coordinated through the NC
Department of Environmental Quality's (DEQ) Inactive Hazardous Sites Program. The study was completed late last year,
approved and reimbursed by DEQ earlier this year. Results of the first phase study led to the need to perform further
investigation.
The first phase involved site reconnaissance activities, a water source survey to identify water supply wells, a Sensitive
Environment Survey and a surface geophysical survey. Results of the high-resolution electromagnetic survey indicated
that there were three discrete areas of waste disposal. DEQ has decided to fund further investigation of the Mud Creek
Dump. This work scope is considered a Waste Disposal Boundary Delineation and Surface Vapor Survey and will involve
soil borings and vapor monitoring on City property. Although DEQ does not have an agreement system in place for local
governments in this situation, I have been told that they have funding available and will reimburse the City for the Waste
Disposal Boundary Delineation and Surface Vapor Survey provided it meets their guidelines and approval (the work plan
has already been approved by DEQ and staff will be in contact with them throughout the process to ensure work is
performed within the approved scope). The first phase investigation was completed and reimbursed in the same manner.
Hart & Hickman have submitted a proposal for the Waste Disposal Boundary Delineation and Surface Vapor Survey as
described above. The proposal is attached and we welcome any questions that you may have.

No
The City will be reimbursed by the NC DEQ Division of Waste Management's Inactive Hazardous Sites Branch for funds
expended provided work was pre-approved by the Branch. A Budget Amendment is included.
I move Council to approve a proposal from Hart & Hickman, PC for completion of the Mud Creek Dump - Waste Disposal
Boundary Delineation and Surface Vapor Survey, to approve the associated budget amendment, and to authorize the City
Manager to execute a contract for said work as presented and recommended by staff.

Hendersonville, North Carolina
H&H Proposal No. 15-428A
Dear Brent:
Hart & Hickman, PC (H&H) is pleased to present this revised work plan and cost proposal to perform
Waste Disposal Boundary Delineation and Surface Vapor Survey assessment activities at the Mud
Creek Dump (NONCD0000798) (subject site). The subject site is located west of Mud Creek
between William H. King Memorial Park and Lincoln Circle in Hendersonville, Henderson County,
North Carolina. The Work Plan outlines proposed assessment activities based the Pre-Regulatory
Landfill Unit (Unit) Guidelines for Addressing Pre-Regulatory Landfills and Dumps dated November
2015.
1.0 Scope of Work
This scope of work includes the activities associated with preparation of this work plan, proposed
onsite assessment activities, project management, data evaluation, and report preparation. The
following sections outline the details of the proposed scope of work for the next phase of assessment
activities associated with the Mud Creek Dump.

Task 1 – Work Plan Preparation
H&H has prepared this work plan and cost proposal for Waste Disposal Boundary Delineation and
Surface Vapor Survey activities to be conducted at the subject site as requested by the City. This task
included project scoping, bid collection, technical proposal and cost estimate preparation. Upon
completion and approval of this submittal, H&H will consider this task fulfilled.
Task 2 - Health and Safety Plan
Per H&H policy, a site-specific Health and Safety Plan (HSP) will be prepared to meet Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements and help ensure the work is conducted
safely. At the beginning of each day, health and safety briefings will be conducted with all on-site
personnel prior to beginning field activities. We understand that the Unit will not reimburse for these
costs; however, to ensure safety of our employees and to meet OSHA requirements, a HSP will be
prepared and implemented.
Task 3– Waste Boundary Delineation
Based on geophysical survey results from the previous phase of investigation, it appears that three
discrete areas of buried material associated with historical Mud Creek Dump operations are present
at the subject site. For the purposes of this work plan, proposed waste boundary delineation borings
will be advanced near the boundaries of the three areas as previously defined by the geophysical
survey (Figure 1). Prior to initiating drilling activities, H&H will contact North Carolina 811, the
public utility locator to identify and mark underground utilities in the vicinity of the subject site.
Four wetlands have been identified within the boundaries of the waste disposal areas. Additionally,
dense mixed deciduous and conifer wooded areas cover much of the subject site. H&H will contract
with the drilling company SAEDACCO to advance delineation borings at approximately 150 foot
intervals along the waste boundaries as defined by the geophysical survey. Where necessary, H&H
will direct SAEDACCO to down small diameter trees and utilize mud mats (as necessary) to gain
access to waste boundaries located in wooded and/or low lying areas. Note –the selected drilling
contractor cost estimate includes use of up to 8 mud mats per day. If access becomes a significant
issue and will delay the project, H&H will notify the City to discuss the need for additional mud mats
and other necessary equipment, and additional time to accomplish the scope of work.
In addition to addressing impassible areas of the subject site, it appears that portions of buried material
may extend beyond the City’s property boundary to the west-southwest and into private property
along Lincoln Circle, Martin Circle and Robinson Terrace. H&H will direct the drilling subcontractor
to advance borings adjacent to the private properties in question to evaluate the potential for buried

debris to extend off-site. However, no borings will be advanced on private property during this phase
of assessment.
H&H will direct the drilling subcontractor to advance each boring by hand to a minimum of 5 feet
below ground surface (ft bgs) to clear for unmarked subsurface utilities. The delineation borings will
then be advanced using a small track-mounted drill rig utilizing small diameter solid-stem auger
drilling techniques. At each boring location, soils will be visually inspected to log waste and/or soil
characteristics. The presence or absence of observed waste material type, relative amounts, and
thickness will also be documented on the boring logs for each boring.
During boring advancement, soils will be visually inspected to identify evidence of contamination
(odor, staining, free product, etc.). Soils demonstrating evidence of contamination will be screened
for volatile organic vapors with a photoionization detector (PID) and screening results will be
recorded along with the depth interval of the screened soils. Field instruments will be field calibrated
on-site at the start of each work day and periodic calibration checks will be performed throughout the
day. Calibration and calibration check test results will be recorded on instrument calibration forms.
If necessary (and possible), at each boring location, additional borings will be advanced either inward
(relative to the inferred waste disposal boundary as defined by the previous geophysical investigation)
or outward from the original locations until the horizontal extent of buried material is defined. The
additional delineation borings will be advanced and logged in the same manner as described above.
Each boring location will be assigned a unique identification label and a wooden stake will be
installed adjacent to the borings for surveying purposes. Additionally, for each boring, H&H will
collect coordinate data using a handheld Trimble Geo Explorer 6000 series GPS unit capable of
recording in decimal degrees to the seventh order. All boreholes will be properly abandoned using
bentonite or grout for those borings advanced into the water table and/or derive soils that demonstrate
obvious evidence of impacts. Clean drill cuttings will be used to backfill borings where no obvious
evidence of impact is observed. Investigative derived waste (IDW) soils that are impacted will be
containerized for proper off-site disposal (refer to IDW discussion in Task 5 below).
H&H assumes it will take up to ten 10-hour field days to complete waste disposal delineation
activities. However, if soil boring results indicate that waste disposal areas are larger than anticipated
and additional borings are needed to adequately delineate buried debris, more time may be needed to
complete this task. Additionally, if dense wooded areas and/or low lying inundated areas require
more clearance for navigation purposes, more time may be needed to complete this task. H&H will
contact you to discuss changes in anticipated timeframes and additional cost in the event additional
days are needed for waste boundary delineation activities.

Task 4 – Surface Vapor Survey
After drilling activities have been completed and the waste disposal boundaries have been defined,
H&H will collect surface vapor measurements within the boundaries of buried material. H&H will
conduct an evaluation of the above ground air quality near the landfill surface using a handheld
LandTec GEM 5000 series gas meter capable of recording measurements of methane and hydrogen
sulfide. In addition to methane and hydrogen sulfide, volatile organic vapors will be recorded using
a PID. Initially, the LandTec GEM and PID will be used to record near surface vapor measurements
at each of the boring locations described in the section above. The readings will be collected in
gridded transects with a maximum spacing of 100 feet.
Background vapor readings will be recorded upwind of, and in close proximity to the buried material
boundary. Barometric pressure will be recorded hourly for the duration of the vapor screening survey.
Surface vapor survey activities will not be conducted during rain events or on exceedingly windy
days. If any compounds are detected or if the survey is conducted during periods of rising barometric
pressure, a second confirmation survey will be conducted on a later day. Note – if a confirmation
survey is necessary additional costs will be incurred on a time and materials basis.
Each reading location will be assigned a unique sample identification label and wooden stakes will
be installed at each location with detectable concentrations of methane, hydrogen sulfide, and/or
volatile organic vapors. H&H will collect coordinate data at each survey screening location using a
handheld Trimble Geo Explorer 6000 series GPS unit capable of recording in decimal degrees to the
seventh order.
H&H has budgeted for one person to be onsite for 5 ten-hour days to complete this task. If it’s
determined additional time will be necessary, H&H will contact the City to discuss the need for
additional time and get approval prior to continuing the work.
Task 5 – Investigative Derived Waste
As mentioned above, H&H field personnel will screen soils for staining, odors, and volatile organic
vapors at each boring location. Soils demonstrating obvious evidence of impacts will be containerized
for proper off-site disposal. Soils that appear to be free of impact will be used to backfill borings
where no obvious evidence of impact is observed. H&H assumes six 55-gallon drums of soil will
require offsite disposal as non-hazardous waste and included the subcontractor per unit costs for
drums to estimate charges for containerizing IDW. We further assume the previous analytical data
will suffice for development of the disposal profile and the IDW will be transported to A&D in
Archdale, NC where it will be bulk loaded and transported to Republic Services Landfill in Uwharrie
County, NC for proper off-site disposal. –If additional drums of IDW are generated additional charges
will be incurred. H&H will attempt to coordinate waste transport and disposal

activities (if needed) to occur during the surface vapor survey to avoid additional mobilization costs.
Note – if chemical analyses of soil samples are required for waste characterization additional costs
will be incurred.
Task 6 – Project Management
H&H will perform management activities throughout the project including budget tracking,
subcontractor coordination/scheduling, and interaction with City and DEQ regarding the project.
Task 7- Data Evaluation and Report Preparation
Upon completion of the activities outlined above, H&H will prepare a report with a discussion
documenting our evaluation of data collected for each task including supporting tables and figures.
The report will consist of the following:
x Detailed description of methodologies and results including:
o Summary of the overall scope of work including any deviations from this proposed
scope of work
o Summary of the waste disposal delineation assessment activities
o Summary of surface vapor survey activities
x Tabular summaries of results will include:
o Tables providing GPS waypoints, survey information, and field screening results
x Supporting figures with bar scales, north arrows, and legends will include the following:
o Most currently available USGS topographic map depicting contours within 1,000 feet
of waste disposal boundary. Topographic contours will be depicted on all of the
following supporting maps.
o A Site and Surrounding Area Map indicating the locations of property boundaries, the
interpreted horizontal extent of waste disposal based on geophysical data, horizontal
extent of waste disposal based on soil borings, site structures and buildings, and all
additional information pertinent to future assessment activities.
o Soil boring location maps including screening results
o Surface vapor survey point location maps including screening results
x The following raw data will be attached to the report as Appendices:

2.0 Staffing and Schedule
Note: Technician level personnel, CAD, and administrative level personnel not included in the above table.
H&H plans to begin coordination of field work within 10 working days of the approval of this work
plan/cost proposal. The onset of field work will ultimately be contingent upon subcontractor
availability and weather conditions at the site. Due to the low lying nature of portions of the subject
site, H&H will attempt to coordinate and schedule field activities to occur during dryer conditions.
H&H estimates that the field investigation activities outlined above can be completed in
approximately 15 days including mobilization and demobilization. It is anticipated a final report can
be submitted to the City approximately four weeks after completion of field activities. Invoices for
work performed under this Task Order will be issued monthly to the City.
3.0 Estimated Costs
H&H proposes to conduct the waste disposal delineation and surface vapor survey activities on a time
and materials basis using the Unit’s approved fee schedule for the estimated costs summarized on the
attached Table 1. Additionally, subcontractor proposals are included as Attachments.

The City has received a request for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity from Mr. David Hairabedian to
operate a taxicab service in the City. Chapter 54 of the Code of Ordinances requires a public hearing and after the
hearing, determine whether public convenience and necessity require the operation of a taxicab, the following
considerations shall be controlling:
(1) Whether the demand for public convenience and necessity requires such additional taxicab service within the city;
(2) The adequacy of existing mass transportation and taxicab service;
(3) The financial responsibility and experience of the applicant for such certificate;
(4) The ability of the applicant to earn a fair return of the capital invested;
(5) The effect which such additional taxicab service may have upon traffic congestion and parking;
(6) Whether the additional taxicab service will result in a greater hazard to the public, and whether the safe use of the
streets by the public, both vehicular and pedestrian, will be preserved; and
(7) Such other relevant facts as may be deemed advisable and necessary.
Other requirements include insurance amounts as set by State Law, inspection of the vehicles by the Police Department,
a terminal or stand, and subject to the fares prescribed by the City:
(1) For the initiation charge 3.00, (2) For each succeeding one-tenth mile or fraction thereof, after initiation .30, (3) For
each minute of waiting time, or fraction thereof .60, (4) For each bag of groceries .25 (optional), (5) For each bag of
luggage, of any kind whatsoever .50.

We are in receipt of a letter (attached) from Mr. Don Daines, Director of Residential Development for the Housing
Assistance Corporation, requesting that the City consider waiving water and sewer system development charges for an
additional 12-multi-family units, known as Oklawaha Village, to be located off of N. Main St. This request and associated
recommendations are in accordance with the City’s SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT CHARGE WAIVER POLICY, Section II –
General Policy revised and adopted by City Council on Thursday, June 3, 2010.
Please let us know if you have any questions or require additional information regarding this request and associated
recommendation.
Staff respectfully recommends the waiver of all water and sewer system development charges associated with this
proposed project in the amount of $1,430 for the 5/8” x ¾” residential water service and $1,280 for each associated sewer
service. If so approved, this waiver would be equivalent to a fee reduction in the amount of $17,160 for water and
$15,360 for sewer for a total of $32,520.

Council Action
We are in receipt of a letter (attached) from Mr. Hollis Fitch, principal with Flatiron Partners LLC, requesting that the City
consider waiving water and sewer system development charges for an additional 80-multi-family units, known as
Lakewood Terrace, to be located off of Lakewood Road. This request and associated recommendations are in
accordance with the City’s SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT CHARGE WAIVER POLICY, Section II – General Policy revised
and adopted by City Council on Thursday, June 3, 2010.
Staff has reviewed this request and feels that since this request is being made by a for profit organization, but that it is a
monitored tax-credit project intended to satisfy the growing needs in Hendersonville for workforce affordable housing, that
75% of the system development charge should be waived. Based on these facts, staff respectfully recommends a 75%
waiver of all water and sewer system development charges associated with this proposed project in the amount of
$357.50 ($1,430 x 25%) for the 5/8” x ¾” residential water service and $320 ($1,280 x 25%) for each associated sewer
service. If so approved, this partial waiver would be equivalent to a fee reduction in the amount of $85,800 for water and
$76,800 for sewer for a total of $162,600. This means that Flatiron Partners LLC would then only pay $28,600 for water
system development charges and $25,600 for sewer system development charges for a total of $54,200.
Please let us know if you have any questions or require additional information regarding this request and associated
recommendation.

Council Action
We are in receipt of a letter (attached) from Mr. Hollis Fitch, principal with Flatiron Partners LLC, requesting that the City
consider waiving water and sewer system development charges for an additional 80-multi-family units, known as Cedar
Terrace, to be located off of Lakewood Road. This request and associated recommendations are in accordance with the
City’s SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT CHARGE WAIVER POLICY, Section II – General Policy revised and adopted by City
Council on Thursday, June 3, 2010.
Staff has reviewed this request and feels that since this request is being made by a for profit organization, but that it is a
monitored tax-credit project intended to satisfy the growing needs in Hendersonville for workforce affordable housing, that
75% of the system development charge should be waived. Based on these facts, staff respectfully recommends a 75%
waiver of all water and sewer system development charges associated with this proposed project in the amount of
$357.50 ($1,430 x 25%) for the 5/8” x ¾” residential water service and $320 ($1,280 x 25%) for each associated sewer
service. If so approved, this partial waiver would be equivalent to a fee reduction in the amount of $85,800 for water and
$76,800 for sewer for a total of $162,600. This means that Flatiron Partners LLC would then only pay $28,600 for water
system development charges and $25,600 for sewer system development charges for a total of $54,200.
Please let us know if you have any questions or require additional information regarding this request and associated
recommendation.

last year, and City staff have been working with the engineer McGill Associates to complete the design of the project and
get it ready to bid. McGill Associates have submitted a task order (a supplement to an original agreement from several
years ago) for design completion, bidding and construction management for this project. The proposal is attached and we
welcome any questions that you may have.

After discussions last year, and a presentation to Council in a December meeting, staff has developed a policy to guide
the process for City special appropriations. The draft policy follows.
Some highlights and priorities identified for the new policy include:
Requiring recipients to sign a formal contract stating that:
o Funds will be distributed as determined by City Council,
o City Council may request a status report,
o City Council may request an accounting of how the funds are used,
o Any funds not used for the requested purpose must be returned to the City, and
o A variety of other basic requirements.
The contract does not require the organization be a 501 organization.
The policy recommends Council adopt a “Full Funding List” for a specific set of requests prior to the budget workshop
meeting.
o These requests will not be considered in the budget workshop activity where Council prioritizes requests and the
amounts to be granted. These requests are not guaranteed to be funded and final approval occurs in the annual budget
ordinance.
The following requests are recommended to be added to the "Full Funding List": Henderson County Economic
Investment Fund, Henderson County Partnership for Economic Development, Henderson County Planning Dept.,
Henderson County Rescue Squad, Merchant's and Business Assoc., and the Mills River Partnership.

N/A
No budget impact for current fiscal year FY15-16.
I move Council to approve the resolution adopting the City of Hendersonville Special Appropriations Policy AND the
requests from Henderson County Economic Investment Fund, Henderson County Partnership for Economic
Development, Henderson County Planning Department, Henderson County Rescue Squad, be added to the Full Funding
List.

SECTION 1. Special Appropriations Overview
A special appropriation is an allocation of funding to a specific outside agency. An agency may
request for funding with the City each year during the budget process. City Council approves
special appropriations based on applications submitted. This application provides general and
specific information regarding the agency requesting funds and the purpose for how the funds
will be used.
SECTION 2. Purpose
The purpose of the City’s Special Appropriations Policy is to provide legal references and a
general framework for the effective, efficient, and equitable distribution of City funds to outside
agencies in the most financially prudent manner as possible while minimizing risk.
SECTION 3. Legal Considerations
The North Carolina Constitution and General Statutes provide the legal framework under which
local governments operate.
3.1 The three key legal limitations to the expenditures of public funds are (1) the
expenditure be for a public purpose, (2) the activity supported be one in which the
local government has the statutory authority to engage, and (3) the expenditure
not be inconsistent with the laws or the constitution of the state or federal
government.
3.2 The courts have used two guiding principles in determining whether a particular
activity is for a public purpose: (1) whether it involves “a reasonable connection
with the convenience and necessity of the [local government]”, and (2) whether it
“benefits the public generally, as opposed to special interests or persons.”
3.3 A local government may contract with faith-based organizations as long as the
contract (1) has a secular purpose, (2) has a primary effect of neither advancing
nor inhibiting religion, and (3) does not create an excessive entanglement between
the government and religion.

SECTION 4. Guidelines
The City will abide by the following guidelines in the annual selection and disbursement of
special appropriations.
4.1 The City Budget Officer shall be responsible for organizing, collecting, and
submitting requests for special appropriations to the City Council for their
approval in the City’s budget process.
4.2 The date that special appropriation requests are due shall be published in the
City’s Budget Calendar each fiscal year at least 30 days prior to the due date.
4.3 During the process certain requests may be deemed necessary and shall be
assigned to the “Full Funding List” by City Council any time prior to the adoption
of the annual Budget Ordinance. Requests assigned to the Full Funding List will
require a unanimous vote from the City Council each fiscal year. The Full
Funding List does not guarantee the request will be approved and still must be
adopted as part of the Citys annual Budget Ordinance.
4.4 All requests not assigned to the Full Funding List shall be discussed at a normal
Budget Workshop of the City Council. In addition to discussion, the City Council
shall recommend appropriation levels for each request. The City Budget Officer
shall provide a recommended total funding level for all requests not on the Full
Funding List.
4.4(a) The City Budget Officer will, to the best of his/her ability, identify
and notify City Council of any requests that may violate the North
Carolina Constitution and/or General Statutes.
4.5 Final approval of funding for special appropriations shall be made in the annual
Budget Ordinance.
4.5(a) Any request for funding outside of the normal special
appropriations process may be heard at the City Council’s
discretion.
4.6 After funding has been approved the requesting agency shall agree to and sign a
Special Appropriations Funding Agreement (attached, APPENDIX A) with the
City of Hendersonville before any funds will be appropriated.

City staff introduced the idea of creating a debt service fund to pay for General Fund debt service payments. It was
recommended that enough funding was transfered in an initial lump sum to pay for three debt service notes that will be
paid in full by FY18-19. The lump sum transfer will come from the General Fund's capital reserve and fund balance.
$564,847 will be transfered from the General Fund - Fund Balance
$396,567 will be transfered from the Capital Reserve Fund - Fund Balance
It is recommended that this amendment be adopted prior to the FY16-17 budget adoption in order to increase clarity.
These numbers would bloat the FY16-17 budget and the sooner we can record the transfers, the more understandable
audit report numbers and budget numbers will be.
The General Fund's fund balance will drop to approximately 40% available and will decrease recurring operating costs by
approximately $200,000.
Attached is a budget amendment transferring the $961,414 to the City's new Debt Service Fund (Fund 15)
961,414
No
The amendment will be funded by General Fund and Capital Reserve Fund - fund balances.
Fund 10 | Budget Increase | $564,847 Fund 25 | Budget Increase | $396,567
I move Council to approve the budget amendment to establish a Debt Service Fund (Fund 15) to pay for debt service
notes incurred by the City's General Fund.

Mr. John F. Connet, City Manager
City of Hendersonville
145 Fifth Avenue East
Hendersonville, North Carolina 28792-4328
Dear Mr. Connet,
Thank you for your letter dated March 8, 2016 requesting assistance from the North Carolina
Office of State Fire Marshal (OSFM) to provide Hendersonville with core components of a
strategic plan for your comprehensive fire protection service delivery system. You asked for
the focus of our work to evaluate seven core areas:
1. Calls for Service
2. Staffing Levels
3. Alternative methods of response (Apparatus vs. QRV)
4. Organizational structure
5. Future station locations
6. Automatic and mutual aid agreements
7. Alternative funding methods
As Assistant State Fire Marshal Rick McIntyre confirmed to you, we are honored to assist you in
this important endeavor. We applaud your proactive, progressive actions to enhance public
safety in your community and advance your fire department in this innovative manner. The
core purpose of OSFM Local Government Technical Services is to collaboratively strengthen and
improve local fire protection service delivery systems throughout our state.
On April 4, 2016, I traveled to Hendersonville to hold an initial meeting with Chief Vindigni. In
order to address the focus areas that you outlined, we discussed what he envisioned as the
cornerstones of the project. He outlined the following categories, in no particular order:
x Staffing
x Emergency Communications
x Officer Maturity
x Labor Relations
x Professional Development and Training
x Readiness for Future Growth
AgendaAgendaAgenda

We noted how this strategic planning initiative is complimentary and in parallel with work being
conducted by Chief Dan Jones, who is focused on mentoring and professional development.
Our work will be anchored by national consensus standards and industry best practices coupled
with North Carolina comparable illustrative examples.
We also discussed the timeline for the OSFM component and Chief Vindigni requested that the
bulk of this work should occur during July-August-September, 2016 (avoiding potential conflicts
with Apple Festival events) so that the yet to be appointed Deputy Fire Chief would be in place
and would be able to be integral to this process. Therefore, we would plan to conclude this
project by early October at the latest.
In review of where we are at this point, we will propose the following project action plan:
Task 1 – Refine specific project deliverables and outcomes with you and Chief Vindigni,
beginning with this letter of confirmation.
Task 2 – Secure and schedule a complete peer review team of subject matter experts that can
appropriately and professionally address the areas of question and concern. At this point, I
have preliminarily identified the following six (6) key individuals of an eight (8) member team
for this peer review component:
x Todd Wright, Morrisville Fire Chief
x Ken Briscoe, Lenior Fire Chief
x Jake Whisnant, Shelby Assistant Fire Chief
x Susanna Williams, Carrboro Fire Chief
x Dave Coker, Greensboro Fire Captain
x Bo Fitzgerald, Davidson Fire Chief and Charlotte Captain
x TBA, a current member of the Hendersonville Fire Department at the rank of Captain or
below selected by the Fire Chief
x TBA, a person identified by the City Manager
If agreeable, we will provide additional details and bios on these proposed peer review team
members for your further review. However, they represent a healthy, diverse cross-section of
North Carolina fire service leaders who each bring a unique perspective to this project as well

Task 12 – Present the final report to identified elected officials, or appropriate subset, such as
the public safety committee, and subsequently post the report.
There are no direct costs for OSFM as these specialized technical services are provided to
county and municipal managers by North Carolina Insurance Commissioner/State Fire Marshal
Wayne Goodwin. Costs will be incurred with peer review team members. Any and all fiscal
transactions for the peer review team members should be between each of them individually
and the City of Hendersonville. OSFM cannot broker or manage those measures. Typically,
local governments will provide per diem mileage, lodging and meals for the peer review team in
accordance with their city policies. Also, it is typical that local governments provide a stipend
or honorarium to the peer review team members for their technical assistance in accordance
with your city policy. Copying of documents, providing meeting space, meeting refreshments,
and other ancillary costs associated with this project will be the responsibility of the City of
Hendersonville. Other local governments have budgeted approximately $3,000-$5,000 to
cover the costs associated with work similar in scope to what you have requested.
Also, we need to clarify that all work that OSFM performs in this endeavor will be public record
in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes.
Your approval and endorsement of the plan is essential to move this initiative forward. Your
ongoing support will be critical to the successful outcome. Please advise if this outlined course
of action meets with your approval. If so, we will continue with assembling the peer review
team members and constructing the questions for information submission. We will need your
direct input on the Hendersonville City Manager designee on the peer review team. Please let
me know if you have questions or we need to make any revisions to the plan as laid out above.
Again, we sincerely appreciate the opportunity to serve you and the people of Hendersonville in
this important capacity. We look forward to delivering you an exceptional product to help
move Hendersonville progressively forward. Thank you for your public service, cooperation and
support. You may reach me anytime at Greg.Grayson@NCDOI.gov or at 919-896-5883.
Sincerely,
Gregory H. Grayson
