Administration was under budget. Health care expenses decreased by $250,000. Human Services programs were underspent by $2.4 million due to under spending in energy assistance, TANF and CPS client assistance, LME
Medicaid payments that were offset by less revenues being drawn down from the state which are reimbursement based expenditures. Public Safety was

Reallocate and Appropriate Wake Tech 2007 Building Program Funds Mr. Wendell Goodwin said the resolution for approval was related to the 2007
bond program funds. In October 2011, the Board appropriated $10 million in county funds to the classroom/office building on the main campus that will
build 40,000 square feet for $10 million. Since that time, they have done final programming and determined additional square footage would be required for additional administration space to adequately house staff support for the
continued growth of the college. The amount of growth represents 8,721 square feet. Wake Tech requested that $73,426 of savings from the 2004
building program and $1,857,179 of savings from three projects within the 2007 building program be reallocated to the Main Campus Classroom/Office
Building. The total square footage would be 48,721.
Phil Matthews motioned, seconded by Tony Gurley, to adopt the resolution
reallocating $73,426 from the Wake Tech 2004 Building Program and $1,847,179 from three projects within the Wake Tech 2007 Building Program to the Main Campus Classroom/Office Building. The motion passed
unanimously.

Allow Naming Rights for Wake Tech's Health Services Campus and
Buildings Mr. Mort Congleton, Executive Director of Wake Technical Community College
Foundation, said the Foundation is a 501C3 nonprofit and its purpose is to assist faculty, staff and students. They are in a major gifts campaign to help
fill gaps in the programs. They set a goal of $10 million for their fundraising campaign and have exceeded it by over $1 million and reset their goal to $12 million. He said they hope to raise $15 to $20 million to fill in gaps from state,
federal or local funds.
Summary information provided:
The land and buildings at the Health Services Campus (adjacent to WakeMed)
are owned by Wake County, but operated by Wake Technical Community
College. Wake Technical Community College has a naming rights policy, which
has been approved by the Wake Technical Community College Board of
Trustees. The policy has been used to raise private dollars to support the
Community College.
Wake Tech, through the Wake Technical Community College Foundation,
desires to apply their naming rights policy to the Health Sciences Campus and
Buildings.
19
The Wake Technical Community College Foundation’s mission is to partner
with corporations, foundations and individuals to raise private resources to
support Wake Technical Community College’s institutional and instructional
needs for the benefit of faculty, staff and students. Funds raised by the
Foundation help fill gaps in state and local funding, particularly in the areas of
professional development, equipment, and student support (scholarships).
Gifts are only accepted if they meet a need within the College or are aligned
with the College’s goal of providing effective lifelong learning, training, and
workforce development through world-class programs and services.
A donor wishes to name a building on the Health Sciences Campus for $1
million over ten years with the funding designated for nurse training. Per the
Foundation’s endowment policy, two distinct funds would be established by this
donation: an endowment principal fund (permanently restricted account) and
an endowment spendable fund (temporarily restricted account). Any interest
earned on the permanently restricted account would be deposited into the
temporarily restricted account and allocated per the Foundation’s four percent
spending rate.
Once the first year payment is fulfilled, $4,000 would be the allocation amount
available to provide scholarships, emergency financial assistance, equipment,
and/or faculty training for the nursing program (per the donor’s designation).
In year two, $8,000 would be available. After fulfillment of the tenth year
payment, $40,000 would be the allocation available and this would be the level
continued thereafter.
Tony Gurley motioned, seconded by Phil Matthews, to approve Wake Tech's request to allow Naming Rights for Wake Tech's Health Services Campus and
Buildings. The motion passed unanimously.
Amend Letter of Intent with UNC Health Care and Alliance Behavioral
Healthcare for Services at WakeBrook Campus Ms. Denise Foreman, Assistant to the County Manager, said that in October
2012, she brought a letter of intent to the board with UNC Health Care, Alliance Behavioral Healthcare and Wake County as parties to modify the
services being offered at WakeBrook Campus. UNC has agreed to take over provision of services at WakeBrook and to upfit the facility to add additional services. They have worked towards an implementation date of January 1,
2013. There have been challenges of licensing of the services and regulatory requirements so they will not be ready for implementation on January 1. She
presented an amendment to the letter of intent that states they will work with UNC to bring on the crisis and assessment services by February 1, 2013 and
the other services will come on as licensure is approved and as upfit complete. She said the goal is to have recovery services up by March 1, 2013, services provided by Daymark by May 1, 2013 and the new 16 inpatient hospital beds
20
by July 1, 2013. She said the "go live" date of February 1 for the crisis and assessment is a firm date. All other services should be operational by July 1,
2013. Commissioner West asked about the process being procedural. Ms. Foreman
said that the licensure for the 32 beds has to be met under state and federal requirements. She said this is taking longer than anticipated.
James West motioned, seconded by Paul Coble, to approve an amendment to the Letter of Intent with UNC Health Care and Alliance Behavioral Healthcare
for provision of behavioral services at WakeBrook Campus, subject to the terms and conditions acceptable to the County Attorney. The motion passed unanimously.

Approve Structure of Alliance Behavioral Healthcare Board Ms. Denise Foreman, Assistant to the County Manager, said that in April 2012,
the Board approved an inter-local agreement with Durham County creating Alliance Behavioral Healthcare, a new multi-county area authority (or LME) for
the management of behavioral health services for Wake and Durham counties. The board structure included eight members from Durham County, six
members from Wake County and the LME appointing a member from each Johnston and Cumberland counties. In July, there was a legislative change dictating the board structure for LMEs that will become MCOs. There was a
provision made allowing LMEs to have a resolution presented to each of the counties in the service area to approve an alternative structure which would be
Wake County's preferred structure for the LME/MCO. Ms. Ellen Holliman, Executive Director of Alliance Behavioral Healthcare has been to each of the
other counties which have all unanimously approved the resolution. Ms. Foreman said there are eight appointments for specific categories. She said
22
that legislation requires that the additional changes be made by January 1. There will be no need for appointment changes in Wake County because the
person representing the clinical category can also represent the interest of children category. She said staff recommends approval of the resolution so it
can be presented to the Secretary so they can then work with Alliance and the other counties to get the board back to the preferred original structure. They
can make the change with the merger of Cumberland County or have a modified agreement with the other counties.
Commissioner West asked about the change with Cumberland County. Ms. Foreman said when the legislation changed, it was determined that the best
option for Wake County was to merge with Durham County for a multi-county authority. Cumberland and Johnston counties are contracting with Durham
County. Alliance is the MCO for Johnston and Cumberland counties through a contract with them, not through the multi-county area authority. Alliance will be managing the funds on behalf of Cumberland and Johnston counties but
they have not become part of the entity. Ms. Holliman has been working with Johnston and Cumberland counties exploring paths that could work for their
services. If they merge, it would be an area authority. Commissioner Ward asked why Durham County has eight members and Wake County only has six
members on the area authority. Ms. Foreman said that Durham County was successful in getting their Medicaid Waiver and became the lead county and they were able to negotiate eight seats.
Commissioner West asked if Wake County having fewer seats on the board,
would weaken the county's authority or strength. Ms. Foreman said there is no proposal for the structure at this time, if a merger were to occur but the
structure would change. She said all the seats could be on the table for negotiation. Commissioner Gurley stated more efficiency would be gained with more people. Commissioner Ward asked if there is a possibility of a merger.
Ms. Ellen Holliman, Director of Alliance Healthcare, stated that Johnston and
Cumberland counties were already included in the 1.7 million population count. Commissioner Gurley said they could contract with a different agency
since they are not part of the merger. Ms. Holliman said they have contracted for two years based on recent legislation. She said the counties in the area are aligned with a MCO and there are some MCOs that are still becoming and
working on meeting requirements to be designated as MCOs but until those decisions are made they are assuming they are still going forward.
Commissioner Sullivan motioned, seconded by Betty Lou Ward, to adopt the
resolution approving the alternative board structure for Alliance Behavioral Healthcare Area Authority. The motion passed unanimously.

Amendment Number 2 to the Interlocal Agreement with the Town of Cary and Durham County for the Jordan Lake Water Reclamation Project
Mr. John Roberson, Wake County Solid Waste Director, said the project was initiated with the Town of Cary, Durham County and Wake County to provide reclaimed water from the Durham County Triangle Wastewater Treatment Plant
(WWTP) to RTP South and the surrounding area. Wake County has a portion of RTP in the county. In 2010, Phase 1 received some bids which provided
savings in the project in the middle of an economic downturn. He said the original project cost was $14 million and they saved enough on bids to make
the project costs, $12 million. Since then, the Town of Cary has secured some grant funds for Phase 2. He said due to the grant, there was a need to separate the projects between Phase 1 and Phase 2. The current grant expires in June
2013 and Phase 2 is not yet under construction. The proposed ILA removes Phase 2 from the partnership and it becomes a Town of Cary project. With this
change, the project costs have been reduced from $12 million to $10 million. The amendment to the ILA reduces Wake County's local share from $3.3
million to $2.2 million but maintains total grant funds around $920,000. He said this was put together at a staff level and is recommended to the board.
25
This reflects an increase on Phase 1 in grant funds from about twenty percent to twenty-nine percent. Durham County approved the amendment to the ILA
last week and the Town of Cary is scheduled to consider it on December 13th. He said there will be expected savings to the county's capital funds as part of
these changes but they will not be reflected until final payments and reimbursements have been received from grants prior to June 30th, 2013. Mr.
Roberson said he would have to return to the board for additional actions as needed for the process.
Chairman Bryan referred to one of the charts and questioned the savings by each Wake County, Durham County, and the Town of Cary. Mr. Roberson said there are no county funds in the Phase 2 part of the project. He said that the
project construction has been completed for Phase 1. Commissioner West asked about the wastewater treatment. Mr. Roberson said that the water is
treated by Durham County. Wake County uses the reclaimed water for irrigation.
Betty Lou Ward motioned, seconded by James West, to approve the Amendment Number 2 to the Interlocal Agreement for Reclaimed Water
Facilities with the Town of Cary and Durham County subject to terms and conditions acceptable to the County Attorney. The motion passed unanimously.

Actions Related to Acquisition of Firefighting Apparatus Chairman Bryan introduced Ms. Nicole Kreiser, Capital and Debt Manager, Mr.
Demetric Potts, Business Officer for Fire and Emergency Management, and Mr. Lucius Jones, former Mayor of Wendell and Chairman of the Wake County Fire
Commission. Ms. Kreiser presented the request stating that an amendment to agenda item had been provided to the board, which reflected that the Town of Wendell instead of Swift Creek would receive the fire apparatus. She said that
the FY 2013-2019 CIP included $1,139,000 of debt to be authorized for apparatus. The debt will be by an installment financing agreement which
requires a public hearing be held by the Board of Commissioners. The public hearing advertised and is requested to be held on January 7, 2013. Staff will
issue a request for proposals related to the financings of the apparatus. In 2008, the County purchased six pumper trucks, three elliptical tankers and
three rescue trucks with installment financing agreements. The RFP will consider refunding the outstanding principle to take advantage of the current
market. In order to take advantage of the bid pricing that expires by the end of the year, staff recommends the purchase of the four tanks with uncommitted
funds in the fire tax capital funds which has a balance of $1.8 million. The
29
funds used for purchase of the tankers will be reimbursed with the proceeds of the financing once the financing closes.
Staff requests the Board approve the resolution calling for the public hearing in
