CALL TO ORDER
Mayor Sammy Phillips called the meeting to order at 5:37 PM.
ADOPTION OF AGENDA
A motion was made by Councilman Bittner, seconded by Councilman Warden, and
unanimously approved to adopt the agenda as presented.
WORKSHOP TOPIC
COMMERCIAL GARBAGE FEES/RATE CHANGE
Mr. Wally Hansen, Public Services Director, stated that at the March 17, 2015 Council
Workshop, Council receive input from the business community relative to the Commercial
Garbage service provided by the City. The group expressed that they were pleased with the
improved customer service provided by the City. They indicated that a fee increase was
understandable if it ensured the City could continue with quality services. Using the PowerPoint
presentation attached to the official minutes as Exhibit A, Mr. Hansen reviewed the assumptions
and proposed rate increase that would be necessary for the City to continue providing the service.
Other changes to the program included working to improve eligibility for more businesses to

[PAGE 2]
receive Saturday service and reduction of dumpster rental rates in order to be more competitive
on this option.
Regarding the anticipated expenditures, Councilman Warden asked what the “Insurance
Deductible” covered. Ms. Gayle Maides, Finance Director, reported that it covered workers
compensation claims and had been used to cover the fees associated with overweight tickets. A
discussion was held on the issue of weigh tickets and how sanitation trucks were at a
disadvantage for a number of reasons, including increased weight due to wet garbage, as well as
the way a truck was packed, which made it impossible to spread the load. Dr. Woodruff stated
that he had discussed this issue with Senator Harry Brown in terms of a possible amendment to
the law in the future.
Councilman Thomas asked, considering the proposed 40 percent increase in the fee, had
staff factored in a potential loss of customers. Mr. Hansen said no. Mr. Woodruff added that the
City had an exclusive franchise inside the City. Councilman Thomas asked if it was possible for
customers to opt for additional cans for a lower cost versus having a dumpster. Mr. Woodruff
said yes, it was possible for some customers to consider additional 320-gallon plastic containers
that could be handled with their sidearm truck.
REDEVELOPMENT OF NEW RIVER COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL AREAS
Using the PowerPoint presentation attached to the official minutes as Exhibit A, Reggie
Goodson, Development Services Director, Lillie Gray, Community Development Administrator,
and Richard Woodruff, City Manager, provided detailed information on the New River
Redevelopment, including history, commercial and residential challenges and redevelopment
funding sources. Mr. Woodruff pointed out that Redevelopment of New River had been a
program underway for a number of years and would be a challenge going forward, taking
decades of work by the City, private citizens, property owners, and investors.
Mr. Goodson stated that Towne Center Apartments, with 702 units, was the largest
residential owner, however, they were now bank owned. Councilman Bittner asked if the Bank
was currently managing the units and Mr. Goodson responded yes.
In response to questions regarding the presentation of the case study completed by the
Housing Authority of Raleigh, Mr. Goodson said that many major cities have Housing
Authorities which were not part of City government but funded by the federal government.

[PAGE 3]
Mr. Woodruff stated that when looking at the New River Redevelopment, there were a
number of components there today; residential, commercial institutional, recreational. The
redevelopment would be long term, one-step at a time. One of the advantages of the area was
that major infrastructure such as water and sewer, drainage, and the road system were already in
place, as well as the fact that tap fees were already paid. There was currently not a shortage of
houses in Jacksonville and supply and demand had changed; therefore, the key was in thinking
outside the box in terms of alternative land uses. Ideas included mixed market products and
specific area conversions from residential to possibly office park and flex space as well as
possibly expanding the playground area or the footprint for Clyde Erwin Elementary on an
adjacent parcel. Other options might include a private public partnership for a tourist attraction,
such as a water park.
Councilman Bittner said it seemed to him that the population in the area would continue
to decline unless progressive action was taken. He asked if the decline in population had
affected the school. Mr. Woodruff replied that Clyde Erwin was a magnet school with specialty
programs for children from locations all over the County.
Councilman Bittner asked how many other residential units were located in the area other
than the 700 units that made up Towne Center Apartments.
Ms. Gray said not including single-family units, which had not been a part of the study,
there were 50 other multifamily units owned by others.
Following detailed review of funding options, in particular Option 3: HUD Section 108
Loan, as shown in Exhibit A. Mr. Woodruff discussed that a Master Plan was needed and
concluded with the following list of “Moving Forward” options for Council consideration:
• Research Section 108 CDBG loan
• Work with Bank for Towne Center ownership
• Work with Private Developers & State
• Work with Commercial owners
• Research Project District and TIF
• Research Tax Credits
• Create Master Plan & Alternative Land Uses
• Updates to Mayor, Council & Property Owners
Mayor Phillips stated that in terms of infill development, there was a lot of potential in
the area. Councilman Bittner agreed, adding that studies showed that deteriorating areas

[PAGE 4]
required more police and social services than a thriving neighborhood and if they did not take
some action, the area would continue to be a drain on the City.
Councilman Thomas reminded them that Onslow Community Ministries was planning to
seek a Special Use Permit to move their Homeless Shelter and Soup Kitchen into the area. He
asked if that was approved, would it not in fact cement the status quo of the area and present a
future challenge to redevelopment efforts.
Mr. Goodson said it would present more of a challenge if adjacent to residential uses but
could be either compatible or detrimental to adjacent business uses.
Mr. Carter, City Attorney, advised not to discuss this topic further due to the quasi-
judicial nature of Special Use Permit considerations.
In terms of the Options for Moving Forward presented by Mr. Woodruff, Mayor Phillips
said they all appeared viable. Mr. Woodruff said most of the items on the list were research and
data gathering. He also felt it was important to meet with the Bank who owned the foreclosed
properties and with school officials to share ideas.
It was the consensus of Council to support the list of Options for Moving Forward as
presented.
RECESS
Mayor Phillips recessed the meeting at 6:47 PM for Council to attend the Regular City
Council meeting.
RECONVENE
Mayor Phillips reconvened the meeting at 7:31 PM.
BUDGET DISCUSSIONS
Mr. Woodruff stated that the Draft FY 16 budget did not require an increase in the City
tax rate of 64.2 cents, no increase in the water and sewer fees, or the stormwater fees, or
residential garbage collection fees. In addition, there were very few decision packages for
Council action this year. The budget allowed the City to continue to provide quality services that
were within our means and also helped build the fund balance. The budget also reflected the fact
the City lost $750,000 due to legislative action to do away with the privilege licenses tax. He
pointed out that as they went though the budget, Council would notice a significant reduction in
personnel, which had resulted from a combination of efficiencies and addressing the loss of the
privilege license funding. The reduction was also a reflection of the economy, which was

[PAGE 5]
different in Jacksonville now than it was several years ago. A number of inspector positions
were eliminated since business had slowed; however, they were able to do this without laying
anyone off. They were either moved to other vacant positions or eliminating the position when it
became vacant.
As shown in Exhibit A, Mr. Woodruff and Ms. Gayle Maides, Finance Director,
reviewed the Revenue Forecast, Tax Rate Information, Expenditures, and Budget Assumptions.
Councilman Thomas asked if he had heard correctly that this budget builds General Fund
Balance. He pointed out the budget showed a proposed use of $1.9 million from the General
Fund this year. Mr. Woodruff stated that several years ago before we started the residential
garbage collection fee, the subsidy from the General Fund had been $1.4 million higher.
Regarding sales tax, Mr. Woodruff said that by State Law the County had until the end of
April to determine if there would be a change in the distribution formula. He said he had not
heard any suggestion that there would be any change this year and this budget assumed no
change in the distribution formula. The budget also did not assume any State legislative changes
to the current law in terms of sales tax distribution.
Councilman Bittner asked why there was a large drop in projected investment earnings.
Ms. Maides said the investment earnings were overestimated last year.
Mr. Woodruff said that last year there had been over 40 department requests for
additional funding. This year there were five decision packages and four were not recommended.
One was a possibility for future discussion.
Budget Assumptions included no anticipated changes and using $1.9 million of General
Fund balance. They also assumed health insurance costs would be absorbed. The actuarial
indicated health care costs would rise about 8 percent; however, the budget proposed to absorb
the increase from the healthcare fund balance. The healthcare fund balance was generated by
surplus premiums paid in through employees buying family coverage. That account was at about
$1 million and over the last two years the City had not had to pass on a rate increase to
employees or the City by using this fund to absorb any increase in cost.

[PAGE 6]
DEPARTMENTAL BUDGETS
Mayor and Council: Significant changes included an increase in travel due to Council
appointments to Boards and Committees on both the State and National level and an increase in
G10 allocations due to a large proportion of programming (Council Meetings, Advisory
Committee Meetings, etc) being under Council budget. Also, Onslow County was now doing
their own broadcasting so their contributions for G10 services ended resulting in the Council
budget absorbing more of the total cost for broadcasting.
Mayor Phillips asked for the amount the County had been paying for broadcasting
services. Mr. Woodruff said he would obtain that information and report back.
Discussion was held on the various memberships supported by the Council budget, such
as the North Carolina League of Municipalities (NCLM), National League of Cities (NLC),
School of Government, Chamber of Commerce, NC Metropolitan Mayor’s Association, and the
Highway 17 Association. Council discussed the various services provided by the memberships
and their benefits to the City, including staff lobbyists who worked on behalf of municipalities in
the Legislature.
Councilman Warden asked if the NCLM fees included the League insurance. Ms.
Maides said no, insurance was allocated in each individual departmental budget.
Elections: Municipal elections were held every two years in the odd year. The Onslow
County Board of Elections had provided an estimated cost for the 2015 municipal elections. Mr.
Woodruff updated Council on several pending bills in the Legislature. One would require that
municipal and School Board elections become partisan and are held on the same election cycle
as all other partisan elections.
Legal: Changes included a water sewer allocation increase due to a major capital project
the City Attorney would be working on this year to acquire easements to extend the water and
sewer system across the swamp through Burton Park and out to the land application site.
City Manager’s Office: There was a reduction in staffing cost due to a part time
employee (Earl Bunting) completing his assignment. Mr. Woodruff reviewed the new Passport
Operations section in which the City has become a Passport Application Acceptance Agency.
Federal regulations allowed them to charge a fee of $25 as well as to charge a reasonable fee for
pictures. There would be about $4,000 in expenses with expected revenues of $51,000. They
had been able to add this service for the public without adding staff. Councilwoman

[PAGE 7]
Washington asked if additional staff would be considered if the number of applications
increased. Mr. Woodruff said he did not think so but if applications increased significantly, he
would come back to discuss it with Council. The nice thing about this project was adding a new
revenue source with almost no new expenditures. If a full time employee was hired with
benefits, it would barely break even.
Transportation Planning: Mr. Anthony Prinz, Transportation Administrator, reviewed
various median and road improvement projects as well as funding sources. Mr. Prinz also
pointed out that while development in regards to building permits had seemed to level off, the
fees for Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) had actually increased, which could be an indication that
future development was on the horizon.
Traffic Signal Control: Mr. Woodruff reviewed the decrease in the budget from last year.
Last year they had accepted the grant that resulted in the traffic monitoring computer system. At
that time, the City had agreed to purchase the equipment and hire personnel, which was now
completed. Revenue sources were higher this year due to receiving reimbursements for signal
repair, which was part of the agreement with NCDOT. Mr. Prinz added that last time he met
with Council on this project; he had reported that due to changes in the DOT funding formula
there would be about a $40,000 decrease. In fact, DOT had reconsidered that reduction and we
were currently expecting an increase from $91,000 to $179,000.
Councilman Bittner asked where the staff for this project was housed. Mr. Prinz said that
the signal technician was in Building B at the Public Services Complex and the signal engineer
was located in the Traffic Operations Center at the Center for Public Safety.
Transit: Mr. Woodruff reported that the General Fund subsidized Transit to the
equivalent of 1.1 cents of the property tax. This year there were about 96,000 riders. The fare
box was generally $1.25 cents, (less for children and Senior Citizens), with revenue projections
of $135,000. Mr. Prinz reviewed the services provided, in particular the weekend special service
(Express Service) provided to the Base in order to provide mobility to service members who did
not have a personal vehicle.
Councilman Thomas pointed out that the Grant amounts seemed to be decreasing,
especially the FTA 5307. Mr. Prinz said actually the FTA 5307 appropriation went up, but
unfortunately because of the new DOT funding system, Transit was not funded at the same level
as in the current year. Mr. Ron Massey, Deputy City Manager, discussed the Grant Funding

[PAGE 8]
formula and matches. He said that in past years the required local match consisted of City
contributions and State contributions. Since the State had reduced their contributions, the only
way for the City to draw down the entire FTA amount would be to increase the City’s
contribution. He said that at this point staff had chosen not to increase the City’s contribution,
which meant they could not take advantage of the full federal grant amount.
Councilman Bittner asked if the grant projects were listed in the budget. Mr. Prinz said it
was not included in the budget but he could provide a copy of it to Council.
Mayor Phillips asked for an update on the multi-modal project. Mr. Prinz said that at the
end of last year they had received final approval from the FTA on the concept. The following
three items had then been submitted for consideration: Feasibility Study, Environmental Permit,
and Title 6 Evaluation. They were now in the process of doing the financial plan to determine if
the project was feasible. An appraisal of the 2.5-acre site owned by the City had also been
completed resulting in a value of slightly over $1 million, which would count toward the local
match.
ADJOURNMENT
A motion was made by Councilman Bittner, seconded by Councilman Thomas and
unanimously adopted to adjourn the meeting at 8:32 PM.
Adopted by the Jacksonville City Council in regular session this 5th day of May, 2015.
