Garner Town Council

September 15, 2010
Special Meeting Minutes

The Garner Town Council conducted a special meeting on Wednesday, September 15,
2010 at 7:00 PM in the Town Council Meeting Room

Roll Call: Mayor Williams, Mayor Pro Tem Behringer and Council Members,
Kennedy, Johns, Singleton and Marshburn

Staff Attending: Hardin Watkins, Town Manager; Bill Anderson, Town Attorney;
Lin Jones, Finance Director and Tony Beasley, Economic Development Director,
Brand Zuidema, Chief of Police

Update and Discussion of Garner Rescue

Mr. Watkins presented the following report:

Updates – Pertinent Information

Town Manager has requested an independent investigation of some additional

anonymous complaints that have been brought to the Town’s attention. Town’s
Human Resources Department stands ready to assist. Rescue Board Chair has
requested opportunity to explore hiring their EAP provider or other similar
firms to investigate. Town Manager has told Garner Rescue on September 9,
2010 that Town expects this to move rapidly and be thorough.

Town has agreed to meet with Garner Rescue Transition group (staff only) to
discuss how to best proceed with remaining steps to transition to GVFR, Inc.

Town Manager has discussed how quickly the three Garner Rescue staff can be
transferred to GVFR, Inc. with Interim Fire Chief Poole. Remaining steps
include: discussing/agreeing to pay/benefits, beginning some initial in-house
training as get to know each other opportunity, ordering turnout gear, and
completing physicals.

Assistant Town Manager Rodney Dickerson is in an awkward position in this

matter as Vice Chair (acting Chair in interim period between Phil Penny and
Ralph Smith) and Board Member for Garner Rescue.

Dialogue and information exchange with Ralph Smith has been plentiful,
helpful, and collaborative.

Garner Rescue Chair Ralph Smith is new to the Board (July 2010) and is
learning rapidly.

Garner Rescue Board has not been extremely proactive in this matter. This
requires the Town to take an enhanced leadership role to assist in resolving
an uncertain situation that impacts an important community service.

Council Member Singleton and Mayor Williams received information over the
weekend that justifies that the Town takes a close look at Garner Rescue &
Garner Basic Life Support (BLS) finances to ensure funds were not
inappropriately commingled.

Page 5
 Agenda Item G-1
Page 2 of 21

Ralph Smith discovered in July 2010 that only one signature was required for
check signing – either Bill Frederick or Vance Haywood. He has corrected
this and now requires two signers for checks.

Questions

Did the Garner Rescue Board know about Bill Frederick’s past when he was
hired full-time as Assistant Chief, Interim Chief, or Chief? Was a thorough
background check conducted?

Was Board aware of Bill Frederick’s employment in Sanford, NC?

What is the status of the Police investigation into the original inquiry?
How does Police investigation mesh with a more general inquiry outlined here?

How is accounts payable/receivable handled? Are today’s procedures different

from practices prior to Bill Frederick’s departure? Are today’s practices
different from practices prior to departure of Lana Sorrell?

How does BLS mesh with Rescue operations? How does this impact finances for
each division?

How can BLS/Rescue assets be separated?

Is there any suspicion or evidence of any financial impropriety with Garner

Rescue or BLS?

Tasks – Follow-up Items

Talk with Vance Haywood, Acting Chief.

Conduct meeting with Fire/Rescue Ad Hoc Work Group and Ralph Smith to discuss
details.

Examine financial records. Perhaps Lin Jones, Finance Director can examine
them in the short-term. Long-term options may include Wake County Internal
Audit and/or audit firm Cherry Baekert & Holland.

Talk with Former Chair Phil Penny and all Board Members.
• Who knew what?
• Was any financial propriety suspected?
• What led to your departure as Board Chair?

Talk with Lana Sorrell, former Garner Rescue finance officer.

Conduct second conversation with GVFR, Inc. (Chief Poole) about their
readiness to provide all rescue services in Town limits prior to January
2011.

Talk with Ralph Smith and Rescue Board Members (if necessary) about initial
findings, need for more data/information, and likelihood of Town’s
termination of Rescue Services before January 2011.

Conduct called Town Council Meeting on September 15, 2010 at 7:00 pm to

discuss this matter.

Page 6
 Agenda Item G-1
Page 3 of 21

Determine County’s role in allowing BLS service to exist. Determine impact

of Town’s recommendation to ask County to disallow BLS operation.

Determine impact of BLS service discontinuation on current BLS customers.

Gauge likely notification period for orderly discontinuation.

Find out what severance arrangements have been offered/requested/authorized

for Bill Frederick.

The Town has taken an enhanced leadership role in trying to help sort through
some issues and questions.

End of Manager Report

Council Member Kennedy asked what the Council wanted to accomplish at this
meeting; there is a Police investigation and we do not want to insinuate there
is more than it is.

Council Member Singleton said there are questions that need to be addressed,
questions that will come up and follow up will be needed.

Mayor Pro Tem Behringer expressed concerns regarding whether or not employees
were aware of this, if there were other incidents and why no one came forward.

Council Member Marshburn said regarding Council Member Kennedy’s questions, he

would like to obtain valid information of the current issues. We all have
questions and the Manager has given guidance. This is a very vital service;
anything that infringes on this service is a concern. He said we want to know
services are not interrupted. He thanked those who have come here on short
notice and appreciates their willingness to be here and be available. The
intent is to work through and come out on other side.

Mayor Williams said we can get answers to some questions and hopefully get
some background while we are here tonight.

Ralph Smith, Chairman of Garner Rescue said he was elected to the Board in
July 2010 and elected as chair in September. He expressed his appreciation
for help received from Mr. Watkins, Chief Haywood, Mr. Dickerson and the
Town’s Human Resources staff. There are multiple topics to address; he asked
if it is better to address each one? Mayor Williams agreed.

Question: Did they know about Bill Frederick’s past. They have been through
all personnel files and found no record of his background check. Mr. Smith
said they will look through meeting minutes. Mr. Frederick worked as a
volunteer and was promoted to an acting chief role. He said he feels no
background check was done.

Mayor Williams asked the agency protocol on background checks. Mr. Smith
explained they only look at records in Wake County.

Mayor Pro Tem Behringer asked why it is not standard practice to do a thorough
background check. Chief Haywood said there is a specific check in the County
of residence. Regarding Chief Frederick, he moved into the position when
Chief Creech left. Mr. Frederick had already been there for ten to twelve
years.

Page 7
 Agenda Item G-1
Page 4 of 21

Council Member Marshburn asked if there are regulations within the agency
regarding the hiring process. Chief Haywood said there is a written procedure
in the personnel policy. A background check is required along with proof of
certification. Mr. Smith said there is no separate procedure for hiring a
chief.

Question: Was Board aware of Bill Frederick’s employment in Sanford, NC?

Mr. Smith said they were not aware of his reason for leaving Sanford.

Question: What is the status of the Police investigation into the original
inquiry?

Chief Zuidema said the investigation is ongoing. They will pursue additional
information received during the investigation.

Mayor Williams asked if there is a problem with Sgt. Clayton and Mr. Dickerson
serving on the Board. Chief Zuidema said Sgt. Clayton will not be involved in
the investigation. Sgt. Pappas and her chain of command are the only staff
with access to information. Mayor Williams asked why this is different from
the Fire Department investigation which is being investigated by the SBI due
to a Police conflict of interest. Chief Zuidema said the investigation
regarded finances and there was a family member on the Police Department.

Question: How is accounts payable/receivable handled? Are today’s

procedures different from practices prior to Bill Frederick’s departure?

Mr. Smith said when he came on board in July he learned that only one
signature was required for purchasing. He did not find this satisfactory and
quickly instituted a change requiring signatures from with the Chief or a
Board member. He feels confident there are walls between the BLS and Rescue
records. After Chief Frederick’s departure, they immediately changed the
current signature authority. Procedures have improved and will continue to be
maintained at a very high level.

Question: How does BLS mesh with Rescue operations? How does this impact
finances for each division?

Mr. Smith said Rescue received resources from the Town for Rescue. Expenses
are higher due to maintenance of vehicles and training; those costs are more
than what was subsidized. As a result, BLS has had to subsidize Rescue
services.

Mayor Williams asked if any money given by Town used to subsidize BLS. Mr.
Smith said no.

Council Member Singleton asked how far back this has been going on. Mr. Smith
said at least to last year.

Council Member Singleton asked about additional loans for equipment and
trucks.

Chief Haywood said the following loans are active:

Loan 1: Fall of 2008, $100,000 start up, building collateral, 90,000

remains
Loan 2: Fall 2008, 120,000 2 trucks, building collateral, $100,000 remains
Loan 3: Fall 2008, $100,000 2 trucks, truck collateral, $95,000 remains

Page 8
 Agenda Item G-1
Page 5 of 21

Loan 4: 2007 rescue truck, $400,000, rescue truck as collateral town pays
in budget 13,000/quarter
Loan 5: 2007 air packs $8,000, town pays in budget.

Question: How can BLS/Rescue assets be separated?

Mr. Smith said all of the books are separate. Mr. Haywood explained that the
organization is under one name and BLS helps pay the debt service.

Questions: Any evidence of impropriety? Mr. Smith said he has seen no

evidence of impropriety and said if the Town wishes, they may come and see for
themselves. An audit is being done by an outside agency contracted with Wake
County.

Mr. Smith said he realized in a short period of time on the Board how
dedicated the women and men are in this organization and how committed they
are to what they are doing which is serving the Garner community.

Council questions:

Council Member Marshburn said based on what has happened; the director
resigned, employee made allegations, who is there now, can you say with
certainty you are able to tend to day to day operations and service calls
without any undo problems. Mr. Haywood said there will be no interruption of
service. Mr. Smith said they did make some organizational changes, but the
operation is as good as before.

Council Member Marshburn asked if Mr. Smith can speak to the issue of a
departure package for Mr. Fredericks. Mr. Smith said he cannot right now; it
is still in discussion with the Board.

Mayor Pro Tem Behringer said she was approached by someone last week who had
been employed there that said this has been happening all along. She said she
is concerned about any prior occurrences and that others know about it and did
not come forward; this puts other employees at risk. Chief Zuidema said the
message has to be sent that this behavior is not acceptable; the matter of
professionalism is an issue.

Council Member Johns asked what kind of relationship is there now with current
employees. Mr. Smith said when the announcement was made to employees about
Chief Frederick’s departure; people came forward and congratulated Mr. Haywood
immediately. They recognize his leadership ability and working relationships
have improved without the new management.

Council Member Singleton noted that the Town makes quarterly payments and that
they requested an advance in April. Mr. Watkins said staff deliberated and
did not feel comfortable with issuing an advance. Mr. Singleton said he is
concerned that if BLS helps support Rescue, we need to find out why they are
not meeting their own budget. We need to look at where the tax dollars are
being spent. Mr. Singleton said that with BLS and Rescue being under one
corporation he is concerned with what happens and where is all the money going
to go. He asked that if Rescue can’t meet their budget then why can’t we move
this service to the Fire Department sooner.

Chief Haywood said Mr. Frederick did ask for more money, but when it was not
granted, he used BLS funds.

 Agenda Item G-1
Page 6 of 21

Council Member Kennedy said he is pleased to hear there have been no financial
improprieties and to hear relationships between Fire and Rescue have improved
due to resignations of the former chiefs. Aside from financial review, there
seems to be a limited role the Town will take in recent events other than
those in criminal investigation. He said he is looking forward to assisting in
the rescue/fire merger and said he hopes it will take place sooner than later.
He said he is pleased Mr. Smith is there as the Chairman of the Board and he
is confident that the Garner Rescue Chief and the Garner Fire Chief and can
make progress on issues facing us.

Conclusion:

The Council directed staff to move forward with the tasks presented in the
Manager’s report. Mr. Watkins said item B has been accomplished as a part of
this meeting. He asked if the Council prefers the Ad Hoc Work Group continue
to meet or the Council as a whole. Council Member Marshburn said he is
comfortable with the Ad Hoc Work Group and commended the Manager on taking
actions steps and working actively to resolve some issues.

Mr. Watkins said he will proceed with the rest of the items and give reports.
He said if we engage in an audit firm he will communicate that to the Council
and provide an agreement if needed. He said we can also make an inquiry to
Wake County since their audit.

Sam Hudson, 1403 Spring Drive, said he has been with the organization since
the beginning. He gave a history of the EMS/Rescue agency to try and explain
how things have come to be.

There being no further business the meeting was adjourned.

Triangle Expressway Southeast Connector Update
Presenters: Roy Bruce, H.W. Lochner, Inc. Senior Vice President

Brad Bass gave a briefing in April to the Town Council on said subject.

Mr. Roy Bruce, Senior Vice President of H.W. Lochner gave a power point
presentation on the Triangle Expressway Southeast Extension. Mr. Bruce said
this project has been on hold for the last 15 years and now the funding
resources have developed to carry this project on. He explained Project
Current Activities, Project Study Area, Project Needs, Project Purpose,
Alternatives Screening Methodology, Build Alternatives, Public Informational
Meetings, and Project Schedule. The study is to be completed in 2013 and
Phase One construction to begin in 2014.

Phase One will go from Holly Springs to I-40 and Phase Two will go from I-40
to I-540/64 bypass (Knightdale).

The Toll-Free Hotline is 1-800-554-7849, Email is southeast@ncturnpike.org

and the website is www.ncturnpike.org/projects/southeast.

Council Member Marshburn asked since the project has been on hold for 15
years, are there any other obstacles to put it on hold again. Ms. Shumate
replied getting the financing could slow it down but the right market
conditions may help.

 Agenda Item G-1

Mayor Pro Tem Behringer asked Mr. Bruce to explain what corridor protection
means. Mr. Bruce replied this means State Law preserves an area from future
development. The property within that corridor would be denied for building
purposes.

Council Member Johns asked how many miles are there in the northern section.
Mr. Bruce replied there is approximately 40 miles.

Hardin Watkins asked what permits are needed to start building the project.
Ms. Shumate replied we will need all federal permits and we need to follow
(NEPA) National Environmental Policy Act to build the project.

Mr. Watkins asked when citizens and the Town might be able to express their
comments on changes to the routes. Ms. Shumate replied the public comment
deadline is October 22. There will be some smaller workshops later on into
2011.

Council Member Marshburn said out of the meetings so far, it appears that the
orange corridor is the favored one. Mr. Bruce said the benefit of the orange
corridor is that it is a protected. This corridor has environmental issues
also.

Council Member Singleton said he does not like the red corridor option. The
red corridor splits Garner and he would like to see the red corridor removed.

Council Member Marshburn and Mayor Pro Tem Behringer said they concurred with
Mr. Singleton.

Mayor Williams thanked Mr. Bruce and Ms. Shumate for their presentation.

Mayor Williams opened the meeting for public comments.

Garner Volunteer Fire and Rescue, Inc. Contract

Presenter: Rodney Dickerson, Assistant Town Manager

Mr. Dickerson said over the past year the Town Council has indicated on
several occasions that the fire protection contract with Garner Volunteer
Fire Rescue, Inc. (GVFR, Inc.) needs to be updated to reflect tighter fiscal
and management practices. The Wake County contract was recently updated and
is much more comprehensive, and served as the guide for updating the Town of
Garner contract. The draft contract addresses the manner in which the Town of
Garner will fund GVFR, Inc. and the services that are to be rendered in
return. Furthermore, it outlines new governance and reporting procedures to
increase the accountability of GVFR, Inc. as a user of public funds. The
contract also indicates the manner in which certain assets will be
transferred to the Town of Garner n the event the Town decides to provide
fire protection in the Town limits in lieu of contracting it out.

Council Member Marshburn asked how many volunteers are being used. Mr.
Dickerson replied there are 35. Mr. Dickerson said the GVFR has been sent a
copy of the contract.

Council Member Singleton thanked staff, Rodney Dickerson, Council Member

Kennedy; Matthew Poole, Interim Fire Chief; Joe Sample, Board of Directors
Non Fire Department Member and Steve Woodall, Board of Director President and
the Ad Hoc Committee for all their hard work on this contract. Mr. Singleton
said the changes have been supported by the Fire Department and it is a
reasonable contract. He said we need to work with the Fire Department in the
years ahead. Mr. Singleton said next year’s budget process will be somewhat
different than last year.

Council Member Marshburn asked if the contract needs to be approved by both

sides. Mr. Dickerson replied that is correct. He said Town Council will vote
on the contract at their October 14 meeting. The GVFR will vote on the
contract at their October 12. The execution of the contract will take place
once approved by both sides.

Mayor Pro Tem Behringer asked how Station 4 will come on line and how does
this affect the percentage with Wake County. Mr. Dickerson replied Station 4
will be treated separately from Stations 1, 2 and 3. Hardin Watkins said a
separate percentage for Station 4 will be negotiated with Wake County and not
GVFR. He said the Town is at a very fair position with the percentages as
there are now.

Joe Sample, appointed spokesman for the Garner Volunteer Fire-Rescue Board of
Directors addressed the Town Council. He said he came tonight to further the
Town’s understanding of the good works of the Fire Department, especially
those good works of the last eight months. The contract was presented to the
Fire Department last Friday.

He said the Fire Department Board of Directors now has had a chance to review
the draft of the proposed contract between the Town and the Garner Volunteer
Fire Department and requested that he respond for them.

Mr. Sample said while it would be the Board of Directors collective desire to
edit the draft even further, there are four main points which the Board asked
him to articulate for them.

1. He said on Page 4, the last sentence of the second full paragraph which
reads: “No additional Town funds will be allocated to cover such
costs.” The Board of Directors request that this sentence be deleted in
that they only have funding from two sources, the Town and the County,
and it seems doubtful that the County would agree to fund professional
advice to the Fire Department if the Town requires such.

2. In Section 10 on Page 6, the section of Liquidation or Dissolution, the

section talks about real estate, trucks and equipment; however, it does
not talk about personnel. With 50 full time fire fighters and a
supporting crew of 52 volunteers, the Fire Department wants to ensure
that whatever succeeding entity winds up with the Fire Department in
case of termination that the 50 paid employees are assured of a
seamless transition and will not miss a paycheck. The Board of
Directors asked that appropriate language for this assurance be
included within this Section 10.

3. In Section 18, entitled Termination, the last paragraph which is on

unnumbered Page 17, gives the Fire Department Board of Directors much

Page 18
 Agenda Item G-1
Page 15 of 21

concern because that last paragraph says that if the Town and the Fire
Department fail to come to an agreement on a funding level such
disagreement will result in termination of the contract.

The position on this matter is that the Fire Department Board of

Directors would like to see this paragraph stricken from the contract
or, in the alternative, language by the Town inserted to provide
adequate levels of funding for adequate fire protection given the
federal and state standards under which the Fire Department operates.

4. He said perhaps the most troublesome section of the draft contract is

Section 22, Composition of the Fire Department Board of Directors. The
Board of Directors strongly feels that it has been responsive and
responsible and acted swiftly (but with spirited discussion) to all of
the problems and opportunities which have come their way in the last
eight months. A little more than two years ago, the Fire Department
Board of Directors and the body of 52 volunteers voluntarily (without
direction from either the County or Town) reduced the number of
volunteers on its Board to include first one and then two outside Board
members. He said he is not sure that if those two outside Board
Members knew then what they know now that they would have volunteered
to serve; nonetheless they have offered their business and community
acumen to the body of thought as the Fire Department has faced first
this challenge and then another these last eight months.

Now the Town wants to change the composition of the Board of Directors
to include additional representation and further reduce the number of
volunteers who have so capably and faithfully built and served the Fire
Department. The Town’s model for the Board of Directors composition
basically is a 3-2-2 model wherein the firefighter volunteers would
have two board positions plus the non-voting president, the Town would
have two appointees and the Fire Department would have two selections,
one of which would also be acceptable to the Town.

A special Board meeting was called; the Board of Directors held a

lengthy, serious and thorough discussion and voted unanimously to offer
an alternative to the proposed Board of Directors composition
structure. The alternative would be:

• A volunteer firefighter who would serve a one-year term as

President;
• Three (3) volunteer firefighters elected by the volunteers;
• One outside Board Member to be selected by the Fire Department
Board;
• One outside Board Member to be selected by the Town Council; and
• One outside Board Member to jointly be selected by the Town and
Fire Department Board and then elected Fire Department Board

That would be a total of seven (7) Board Members with the President
only voting in case of a tie, and three outside Board Members which
clearly meets and exceeds the County standard of having twenty percent
(20%) outside Board representation. All Board Members with the
exception of the president would be for two-year terms but evenly
staggered so that three are elected or appointed each year.

Mr. Sample said the Board of Directors strongly feels that local control is
the best control.

Page 19
 Agenda Item G-1
Page 16 of 21

The Board of Directors also strongly feels that they have done either
voluntarily or by suggestion from its County and Town tax partners any and
all changes deemed prudent for a well-managed, well-trained Fire Department
which has never failed to respond to a 911 call for help in 58 years. The
Board of Directors welcomes constructive suggestions; they have no problem
with financial oversight and indeed welcome it. They want to be off the front
page of the newspaper, and do what they do best; provide first-class fire
protection and rescue services to the public which they serve and whom
Council serves as well.

Mr. Sample thanked Town Council for allowing him the opportunity to offer the
Board of Director’s reasoned thinking as revisions to the draft contract. He
said he was proud to be associated with these volunteers and paid
firefighters who put their lives on the line each time the pager goes off.

Mr. Sample said the Board of Directors wants to delete the last paragraph in
Section 18 which states; Failure of the Town and GVFR, Inc. to agree upon the
amount of funding shall terminate this contract in accordance with this
section of this Agreement.

Council Member Singleton said with this statement the Council is trying to
protect the tax payers. Mr. Sample said GVFR needs assurance from the Town to
provide adequate levels of funding.

Council Member Marshburn asked if the Board of Director’s president serves

only one year. Mr. Sample replied yes. Council Member Marshburn asked after
one year do they stay on the Board. Mr. Sample replied they may be reelected
to the Board.

Mayor Pro Tem Behringer asked if Wake County standard need is twenty percent
(20%). Mr. Sample replied Wake County asks for twenty percent (20%) on the
Board of Directors that are not volunteers.

Council Member Singleton said this is an organization that is supported by

the Town and Wake County. The Fire Department has input on four board
members. The Town has input on three board members and he felt that this is
extremely reasonable. He said two board members are selected jointly.

Council Member Singleton said he believed the changes that Mr. Sample talked
about in the contract will be taken in consideration.

Mayor Pro Tem Behringer said she has witnessed the Fire Chief spending a lot
of hours trying to make some changes. She said she cannot support six members
controlled by the Fire Department. Ms. Behringer said she appreciated what
she has seen done so far.

Council Member Marshburn said both entities are looking for accountability.
He said both sides have concerns on the Members of the Board of Directors and
he feels there is room for negotiations that will be reasonable for both
sides. Mr. Sample said he can only offer what the Board of Directors want and
nothing more.

Council Member Marshburn said there needs to be a closer balance and to be a

bit more sensitive to both parties.

Hardin Watkins, Town Manager said meetings were held to come up with this
contract proposal and understood the negotiations were complete and he is
disappointed. He said we made changes and softened some of the language. Mr.
Watkins said without governance the entire document needs to be sharper.

Page 20
 Agenda Item G-1
Page 17 of 21

Mayor Pro Tem Behringer said service of the volunteers should be separate
from the governance. She said we have come a long way with mutual trust and
the Board of Directors needs to trust the Town as well.

Council Member Singleton said he felt that most of the changes that were
asked for tonight by the Board of Directors could be handled. He said the
governance issue is the only one that needs to be checked over and discussed
to iron out the details.

2010 National Recreational Trails Program Grant

Construction for Final Phase of the South Garner Greenway Update
Presenter: Hardin Watkins, Town Manager

Mr. Watkins reported the Town of Garner has received a grant from the North
Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Parks and Recreation
State Trails Program for the South Garner Greenway. This one mile long trail
begins at White Deer Park and will connect several neighborhoods, elementary
schools, local businesses, and existing parks as it increases opportunities
for physical activity and social interaction. The greenway will go through
White Deer Park and link to the four mile sidewalk loop beginning at Timber
Drive. With the thousands of visitors using White Deer Park and Lake Benson
Park, we anticipate the greenway connection will provide nearly 100,000
recreation users with additional health and fitness opportunities. The total
cost anticipated for the greenway is $93,750. This grant covers up to
$75,000 with a match of $18,750, which was included in the 2010 – 2011
budget. The expected completion date is September 2012.

MEMORANDUM
To: Hardin Watkins
Town Manager

From: Judy Bass

Date: October 8, 2010

Subject: Resolution for Trick-or-Treating

This year, staff has received a large number of questions about when
the Town will recognize Trick-or-Treaters. I believe this is because
the 31st falls on a Sunday. In the past, we have continued to
recognize the 31st for Trick-or-Treating regardless of what day it
falls.

I am presenting a resolution to the Council for consideration. This

document was drafted from a sample resolution that has been adopted by
a number of communities around North Carolina. In addition to
establishing the day, it sets forth safety, courtesy and common sense
guidelines to protect participants and preserve the peace for non-
participants.

Please let me know if you have questions or need further clarification.

That all children taking part in Trick-or-Treating should be clothed in safe costumes,
featuring materials that can be seen in the dark by motorists and masks that do not
obstruct the children’s vision.

That all children or groups of children taking part in Trick-or-Treating should be

accompanied by a responsible older person who can protect the children from harm.

That Trick-or-Treating is conducted during reasonable hours, preferably between early

evening and 8:30 p.m.

That those who choose not to participate in Halloween indicate so to others by leaving
their porch lights off; and, that participants respect the wishes of those who choose not
to participate in Halloween by not visiting homes where porch lights are off.

That children Trick-or-Treat in their own neighborhoods, visiting only familiar homes.

That parents and/or guardians inspect collected treats carefully before children
consume them.

JUNE 28, 2010

The City Council of the City of Raleigh met in regular Budget Work Session at 4:00 p.m.

PUBLIC UTILITIES BUDGET – VARIOUS RECOMMENDATIONS –

APPROVED; WATER UTILITY TRANSITION ADVISORY COMMITTEE
CREATED

Mayor Meeker announced the next matter for discussion was public utilities rates. The
Council had received the City Manager's recommendation, and the Mayor had also asked
that a supplement to that recommendation be circulated to the Council which would (1)
eliminate the capacity fee or water nutrient reduction fee increase of $375 from new
development, which results in an approximate $500,000 in loss of revenue; and (2)
restore the expense cut funding for the Water Conservation Incentive Program,
Wastewater Odor Control Program, De-Nitrification at the Wastewater Plan,
Discontinuation of Fluoridation, and fund a portion of the Upper Neuse Water Initiative.
Items (1) and (2) add up to approximately $3 million. To fund that amount, the water
rates would be adjusted effective November 1, 2010 as follows:

Mayor Meeker moved approval of the Public Utilities budget as recommended by the
City Manager with the supplement as shown to restore the $3 million of activities and to
pay for that amount by adjusting the water rate tiers to a higher rate as shown. His
motion was seconded by Ms. Baldwin.

Mr. Crowder offered a substitute motion to adopt a different proposal as follows: keep
Tier 1 rates the same, Tier 2 would increase 4% instead of 9%, Tier 3 would increase 9%,
the irrigation would increase significantly to $7.74, and retain the increase in the nutrient
fee. These items total approximately $4.15 million. His proposal includes $1 million to
continue the Upper Neuse Initiative, as well as restoration of the expense cut funding as
per the Mayor's motion. Mr. Stephenson seconded Mr. Crowder's motion.

Mayor Meeker thanked Mr. Crowder for the alternative motion, but said he will not
support it because he thinks Tier 4 (irrigation) is somewhat high and he is not sure this is
a good time to change capacity fees.

Mr. Odom asked how many gallons of water a day the City sells now. Public Utilities
Director John Carman replied approximately 65 million in the summer, which is still 10
million below peak, and the yearly average is around 50 million. Mr. Odom asked what
would happen if the City lifted the restrictions and let everyone water the way they want.
Mr. Carman said he could not predict an answer for that scenario. Mr. Odom asked what
would happen if the tiered system is installed and water consumption goes down. Mr.
Carman explained that about 90% of the system is fixed costs. The City can incentivize
conservation, but it will have to pay for the incentive. A certain amount of money is
needed to run the utility system; whether it runs at 70% capacity or 80% capacity, there is
not a lot of difference in the cost for running the system. The impact of tiered rates is an
unknown factor, and the tiers are designed to produce a "soft" impact on users. Software
problems have hindered the implementation of tiered rates. Mr. Odom stated he cannot
support this if the City is decreasing service while raising rates.

Ms. McFarlane said she believes it is important to implement the $375 nutrient reduction
fee so citizens will not have to bear the entire burden of increased costs.

Page 44
 Item H-1
3 of 4

The City Manager noted that during discussion of alternatives for the Little River
Reservoir, Council probably sensed there will be an expectation of pricing incentives
when a utility looks at generating new resources. He believes tiered rates are the right
direction to take for long-term conservation. He also believes a balance has been struck
so there will not be a large impact on the average usage customer and the high-end
customers will not be driven away. It will probably take a couple of full seasons before
the actual effect of tiered rates can be determined.

Mr. Crowder said monthly rates will help citizens budget their money better than the
current bimonthly rates. Many residents in his district cannot meet their monthly bills
because they are on fixed incomes. One resident told Mr. Crowder his taxes are higher
than his house payment was. Mr. Stephenson commented that no one wants to raise the
water rates. However, the City has incurred debt, consumption is down and there is more
capacity than is needed right now, and the City might "mothball" the Dempsey E. Benton
Water Treatment Plant because annual operating costs are $3.7 million. The alternative
is how to keep from hurting the people who can least afford an increase in water rates.
People who use a lot of water will continue using and paying, which helps the City pay
off its debt. The City is building capacity for summer peak use and the more the City can
incentivize so people will bring down that peak, rates can be kept low and water supply
ensured for the future.

Mayor Meeker called the question on the substitute motion to approve the utilities budget
and rates as recommended with the adjustments as set out in Mr. Crowder's handout. A
roll call vote resulted in Mr. Stephenson, Ms. Baldwin, Ms. McFarland and Mr. Crowder
voting in favor of the motion and Mr. Odom, Mr. West, Mr. Gaylord and Mayor Meeker
voting against it. The Mayor ruled the motion failed on a 4-4 vote.

Mayor Meeker returned the discussion to the original motion. Ms. McFarlane stated the
Council is heading toward the same goal at cross-purposes. The City needs to sell a lot of
water but also needs to conserve. She would like to see the creation of a Water Utility
Advisory Committee to look at the entire utility model, including tiered rates, as well as
the nutrient reduction fee. Ms. McFarlane distributed a handout describing the proposed
committee:

I would like to see the creation of a Water Utility Transition Advisory Committee,
composed of local business and environmental leaders, along with knowledgeable
consultants. This committee will have a working budget and is directed to report
to both City management and the Public Works Committee. They will work on
changing the City's water utility business model to make it more sustainable and
fair to customers who conserve. The committee could also investigate higher
base rates for commercial, institutional and industrial customers that would
provide more stability to revenues. They will also review our impending tiered
rates.

The Water Conservation Advisory Council has long asked for a detailed study of
the potential costs and benefits of water efficiency and conservation options to

Page 45
 Item H-1
4 of 4

guide the Council and City management's investments in water resources. This
could be overseen by the same committee. Basically, we need someone that
knows the facts to advise us on growth, potential water needs, resources (Little
River) and what we can realistically expect from conservation and reuse potential.

This group can also work with staff with regard to rebate programs, i.e., decreases
on fees if a new house in Energy Star rated, etc.

I would suggest that this group be formed in the same way that we have
approached other task forces. Nominations will be suggested from all Council
members, with a recommendation back to Council of a final board from a panel of
three City Council members.

Mayor Meeker stated he would treat that as a friendly amendment to his motion. Ms.
McFarlane suggested the new committee be composed of seven members, and the Mayor
agreed.

Mr. Odom said he is not against this, but it is not solving the issue at hand, which is to get
rid of debt. He suggested letting the citizens make the choice to use water. The City
could use tiered rates, but take restrictions off water use. Mr. Odom made a substitute
motion to remove restrictions on water use. The motion failed for lack of a second.

Mayor Meeker brought the discussion back to the main motion to adopt the Public
Utilities Capital Operating Budget as amended by the rates set out in the June 23, 2010
memorandum from the City Manager, which would keep Tier 1 the same and increase the
remaining tiers and non-residential rates, and to create the Water Utility Transition
Advisory Committee

Mr. Stephenson asked where this motion would leave the City Manager's increase.
Mayor Meeker explained there would be an increase effective July 1, then another
adjustment to the tiered rates effective November 1. The July 1 rate is roughly $3.25 or
$3.50 per house as recommended in the proposed operating budget.

Ms. Baldwin said she would prefer that the new committee report directly to the full
Council. There was no objection and the Mayor stated that would be a friendly
clarification.

A roll call vote resulted in all Council members voting in the affirmative except Mr.
Crowder, Mr. Stephenson and Mr. Odom. The Mayor ruled the motion adopted on a vote
of 5-3.

MEMORANDUM

Town Manager

FROM: Frank H. Powell, Jr., PE

DATE: October 8, 2010
SUBJECT: Water Shortage Response Plan
City of Raleigh Public Utilities

As requested I have reviewed the draft Water Shortage Response Plan (WSRP) that the
City of Raleigh is required to submit to the State Division of Water Resources. Based
upon that review it appears that the drought measures proposed in the WSRP are almost
identical to the measures that were enacted during the 2007 drought. I talked with Kenny
Waldroup with the City of Raleigh and he confirmed this opinion. However he did
indicate that there has been a slight change in protocol with regards to enacting the
measures. During the 2007 drought the Raleigh City Council wanted to be in full control
of when we went to a particular “stage” requiring additional water conservation
measures. The Division of Water Resources has told Raleigh that there has to be some
mandatory “trigger points” that, when reached, will immediately require the community
to go into a particular stage of conservation. Also this stage would be enacted by an
authorized person without having to take it to City Council. What this draft plan does is
lower the trigger points, based upon percentage of remaining capacity in Falls Lake, from
what it was in 2007. That way the City Council can voluntarily enter the next water
conservation stage at the same level it did in 2007 before the hard trigger point is
reached. For example, in 2007 the City Council went to Stage I at 60 percent capacity (I
believe) whereas the hard trigger point proposed in the WRSP is 50 percent capacity.

Raleigh has indicated that they would be happy to discuss the WRSP with our Town
Council, if requested. The draft plan will go before Raleigh City Council on October
19th.

 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
During the drought of 2007-2008, it came to the attention of the State and the City
alike that a detailed plan for reducing water consumption was necessary to protect
local water resources. Each public water system is required to provide a Water
Shortage Response Plan (WSRP) under North Carolina General Statute 143-355 (l) as
part of their Local Water Supply Plan (LWSP); additionally, the 15A NCAC 02E. 0607
regulates specific issues which must be addressed within each plan.

The City of Raleigh’s average pumpage, during the 2009calendar year, equaled 48
MGD1. Approximately 64 percent of the City’s water consumption is from residential
customers; daily consumption averages equal approximately 71 gallons per capita per
day (GPCPD)2 with this number increasing in the summer months, most likely due to
irrigation and other outdoor activities. Therefore, many of the conservation stages
detailed within this Plan are focused on reducing residential water consumption.

The City of Raleigh’s WSRP and the conservation stages were created in consultation
with the City of Raleigh’s Water Conservation Advisory Council (WCAC) and in
coordination with the Regional Conservation Work Group (RCWG), a collection of
surrounding communities including: Apex, Durham, Orange Water & Sewer Authority
(OWASA), and Cary. The RCWG has developed stages, with levels of response, in
order to minimize confusion for communities sharing the same media outlets.

1
The average in calendar year 2008 was 44.8 MGD, which was the lowest since 2004, due to water
conservation during the drought of record.
2
Residential consumption was approximately 71 GPDPC in 2009 according to Hazen & Sawyer’s
technical presentation “Water Demand and Population Projections”, March 20, 2010.

City of Raleigh’s WSRP 2010 6

Page 53
 INTRODUCTION:
The preparation of the City’s WSRP is a policy document required by the State of
North Carolina (State) after the drought of 2007-2008. In this Plan, the City presents
measures which pertain to water conservation and establishing an effective on-going
program to regulate the use of WSSP during water shortages.

SCOPE:

To include all water customers, residential, industrial, commercial and institutional,

within the City of Raleigh’s service areas: Raleigh, Garner, Knightdale, Rolesville,
Zebulon, Wendell and Wake Forest.

POLICY PRINCIPLES:

It is the mission statement of the City of Raleigh’s Public Utilities Department to

provide high quality water and wastewater service for water customers while
protecting the environment and maintaining public health at a fair and reasonable
cost. To this end, the City of Raleigh strives to deliver clean and affordable water to
all of its water customers; as long as, in doing so, it does not negate the needs of the
natural environment and public health; and therefore, jeopardize the sustainability of
the City’s water resources.

PURPOSE AND INTENT:

The water shortage response policies contained in this document are considered
separate from the permanent water conservation ordinances which encourage
efficient use of water from all customers. This Plan does not thoroughly detail
permanent conservation measures, as they are included in the City’s Conservation
Plan; therefore, the purposes and intents of this document are to:

City of Raleigh’s WSRP 2010 7

Page 54

Ensure that the available water resources are put to reasonable and beneficial use;

Initiate a system which will effectively decrease potable water demand in the case
of water scarcity; and

Protect against demand exceeding the City’s available Water Supply Storage Pool
(WSSP) storage for water treatment and distribution in case of an impending
drought or contamination event.

OBJECTIVES:

The objectives of the WSRP are to establish a policy that will:

Set an authority for implementing conservation stages;

Provide triggers to signal the commencement and termination of conservation

stages;

Devise levels of response for each trigger; these levels will be communicated to the
public as conservation stages;

Create goals for use reduction on both a day-to-day basis and during times of
drought; reduce per capita water consumption; and

Delineate methods to educate both employees and all water customers as to the
current conservation stages and their levels of response.

 WATER SUPPLY

City of Raleigh’s WSRP 2010 9

Page 56
WATER SUPPLY:
The City of Raleigh obtains its drinking water supply from two water treatment
plants. The E.M. Johnson Plant utilizes Falls Lake Reservoir, which is located on the
Upper Neuse River and managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The dam is
located 10 miles north of Raleigh. The main body of the Lake lies in Wake, Durham,
and Granville counties. The current maximum treatment capacity of the E.M.
Johnson Water Treatment Plant is 86 million gallons per day.

The City’s second water treatment plant is the Dempsey E. Benton Plant, which
utilizes water from Lake Benson, a 500-acre reservoir, and Lake Wheeler, a 650-acre
reservoir. Together, the Swift Creek reservoir system can provide 11.2 MGD for a 50-
year reoccurring reliable yield interval. The Dempsey E. Benton Water Treatment
Plant opened in May, 2010, and has the capacity to treat up to 20 million gallons a
day.

The E.M. Johnson Water Treatment Plant and the new Dempsey E. Benton Water
Treatment Plant are expected to meet the area's water needs through 2018. To
accommodate water needs beyond 2018, the City of Raleigh plans to expand the E.
M. Johnson Plant to its maximum capacity of 100 MGD.

While these reservoirs provide the City with its WSSP storage, not all of the water
contained within the lakes is designated for Raleigh’s water customers. Falls Lake
must also make allotments for flood control, water quality and sediment storage;
leaving only 42.3 percent for the WSSP storage. The 45,000 acre-feet of storage in
Falls Lake allocated to the City is called the WSSP storage and it can provide 68.4
MGD for a 50-year reoccurring reliable yield interval. Figure 1, illustrates the
allotments for Falls Lake.

Figure 1. Water allotments for Falls Lake in MSL (Mean Sea Level): flood storage, water supply, water
quality and sediment storage.

SEVERITY MEASURES:

Severity measures are the characteristics which advise that the WSSP may be too low
to meet anticipated future demands. These measures may be utilized, in combination
or separately, to design triggers for a water system; this WSRP largely utilizes the
available WSSP as its primary severity measure, while the following measures may
also be used:

Current and projected demand
Source water contamination

Treatment capacity
Average rainfall and reservoir inflows

Mechanical failures
OASIS Hydrologic Model

WSRP IMPLEMENTATION AUTHORITY:
The City Council may enact water conservation stages prior to the minimum triggers
within this WSRP.

However, if minimum water supply triggers come to pass, without Council enacting
the corresponding conservation stage, then the City Manager will have to the
authority to immediately enact the appropriate conservation stage.

In case of the City Manager’s absence, the City of Raleigh’s Public Utilities Director is
empowered to enact the appropriate conservation stage. Nothing herein shall be
construed to prevent the City Council from enacting and reversing required water
conservation measures irrespective of the triggers established within this WSRP.

REPORTING WATER DATA:

Each morning, daily pumpage readings are sent to the Public Utilities Director and
staff. These readings allow the City to determine the capacity level of the water
supply.

The State of North Carolina requires that the City’s average water consumption (in
MGD) be reported annually, monthly and within 72 hours of reaching a trigger and
enacting a conservation stage. The Public Utilities Department will be responsible for
this reporting.

 TRIGGERS

City of Raleigh’s WSRP 2010 14

Page 61
TRIGGERS:
The City of Raleigh’s triggers are based on available WSSP at Falls Lake and the projection
period (the remaining number of days in the calendar year from the date of the water
supply projection, plus sixty days).3. The Falls Lake reservoir remains the de-facto gauge
for initiating water severity measures, while the Dempsey E. Benton Reservoir will serve
as a backup supply when the Falls Lake Reservoir is low.

The triggers for implementing each conservation stage are provided below along with
their reverse trigger, as conditions return to normal. Table 1, on page 17, details the entry
and reverse triggers into each conservation stage, along with each level of response.

PERMANENT CONSERVATION MEASURES (PCM) TRIGGER:

There is no implementation trigger, nor reverse trigger, as this is the minimum level of
response and is always in effect.

ADVISORY STAGE TRIGGER:

The advisory stage may be implemented when the WSSP is less than or equal to 70
percent. Because there are no required water use restrictions, it can be withdrawn at
any time as water supply conditions improve.

STAGE 1 TRIGGER:

Mandatory responses for Stage 1 will be implemented when the WSSP storage is less than
or equal to 50 percent. The reverse trigger, signaling the return from this stage to the
Permanent Conservation Measures, shall be when the WSSP is equal to or greater than
100 percent, unless forecasted climatic and hydrologic conditions indicate Stage 1 water
use restrictions should remain in place.

3
The Dempsey E. Benton water treatment plant is operated as a base load facility which will withdraw a
maximum of 14 MGD from the Swift Creek reservoir system .The Dempsey E. Benton facility has system
supply limitations dictated by minimum release required to protect the aquatic habitat in lower Swift
Creek. These release requirements are found within the Biological Opinion for the D.E. Benton project
(produced by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, February 23, 2006).

City of Raleigh’s WSRP 2010 15

Page 62
STAGE 2 TRIGGER:

Mandatory responses for Stage 2 will be implemented when the PWSS is less than or
equal to 30 percent. The reverse trigger, signaling the return from this stage to Stage 1,
shall be when the PWSS is equal to or greater than 70 percent unless forecasted climatic
and hydrologic conditions indicate Stage 2 water use restrictions should remain in place.

STAGE 3 TRIGGER:

Mandatory responses for Stage 3 will be implemented when the PWSS is less than or
equal to 10 percent. The reverse trigger, signaling the return from this stage to Stage 2, is
when the PWSS is equal to or greater than 50 percent unless forecasted climatic and
hydrologic conditions indicate Stage 3 water use restrictions should remain in place.

Page 65
CONSERVATION STAGES & LEVEL OF RESPONSE:
Once a trigger has been reached, the WSRP Authority will enact the corresponding
Conservation Stage. Each stage is characterized by its own level of response, or
necessary restrictions which must be implemented to preserve adequate water
supply. Council reserves the right to implement conservation stages at any point prior
to triggers being met.

This section details the five conservation stages in terms of their level of response, or
restrictions. These stages include: Permanent Conservation Measures (PCM), and
stages 1, 2 and 3. Table 2, on page 28, summarizes the outdoor restrictions for each
stage.

RESPONSE: EVERYDAY MANDATORY WATER RESTRICTIONS (EMWR)

ALL residential water customers are requested to limit their consumption to 65

GPCPD1; and abide by the BMPs listed in Appendix A. The additional responses are
required of ALL water customers:

1) Three days of irrigation per week with alternating days for in-ground automated,
non-automated systems and hose-end systems.

Automatic spray irrigation and non-automatic spray irrigation systems:

Watering by spray irrigation systems shall be permitted between MIDNIGHT
and 10:00 AM. Properties with ODD numbered addresses may water lawns
and landscapes only on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Properties with
EVEN numbered addresses may water only on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.

Hose-end sprinkler:
Watering by hose-end sprinklers shall be permitted between 6:00 AM to
10:00 AM and also between 6:00 PM and 10 PM. Properties with ODD
numbered addresses may water lawns and landscapes only on Tuesday,

 Thursday and Saturday. Properties with EVEN numbered addresses may water
only on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday

2) Irrigation of landscapes to have a maximum of one inch per week. All water
customers are expected to monitor their water usage to determine the weekly
irrigation volume.

3) ALL irrigation systems and water customers must operate in a manner to prevent
water waste and the application onto impervious surfaces.

4) New Landscape Establishment Permits are allowed at anytime up to 45 days from

installation.

5) Identify and repair all water leaks.

6) Water plants deeply and less frequently to encourage root growth.

7) Wash only full loads in washing machines and dishwashers.

8) Use spring-loaded nozzles on garden hoses.

9) Restaurants are to only serve potable water when requested by patrons.

10) Hotels are to only change linens when requested by guests.

11) Voluntary water use measures and best management practices (BMPs) are always
encouraged.

RESPONSE: ADVISORY STAGE

ALL water residential customers are requested to reduce their water usage to 60
gpcpd in efforts to minimize the chances of entering Stage 1. Permanent
conservation measures will remain intact; however, no other mandatory responses
will be enforced. Voluntary water use measures and best management practices

City of Raleigh’s WSRP 2010 20

Page 67

RESPONSE: EMERGENCY WATER SHORTAGE

Drought is only one possible cause of drinking water shortage; water systems may
also experience short-term problems with water treatment, distribution or
contamination. It is essential to establish a WSRP responsive to all types of water
shortage. In the event of emergency water shortage, the City’s authority will
implement the Emergency Conservation Stage. This response will reflect Stages 1-3 of
the water conservation stages as the triggers deem necessary.

ADDITIONAL CONSERVATION
MEASURES

City of Raleigh’s WSRP 2010 29

Page 76
ADDITIONAL CONSERVATION MEASURES:
Due to public perceptions and the manner in which water is used, it was determined
that the following water customers need to take steps to reduce water usage during
an impending water shortage. These steps need to look at both short-term and long-
term water conservation measures. Additionally, ALL water customers are
encouraged to abide by the list of Best Management Practices (BMPs), outlined in
Appendix A.

GOLF COURSES:

Originally, golf courses were regulated under the same irrigation rules as residential
landscapes. Thus, under Stage 2, these facilities were not permitted to irrigate any
part of their property, thereby exposing the greens and tee boxes to permanent
damage. However, due to their employment capacity, careful monitoring of water
use (i.e. too much water can be detrimental to turf grasses), and financial investment
in the greens, it has been decided that an increasing percent reduction system be
created for golf courses during each conservation stage.

STAGE 1:

Golf courses will reduce water usage by 25 percent based on a 5-year non-restrictive
average.

STAGE 2:

Golf courses will reduce water usage by 50 percent based on a 5-year non-restrictive
average.

STAGE 3:

Golf courses will reduce water usage by 75 percent based on a 5-year non-restrictive
average.

City of Raleigh’s WSRP 2010 30

Page 77
The following additional measures shall be adopted under each conservation stage:

1) Educate patrons and employees on the need to conserve water and how to
prepare for drought conditions;

2) Inspect water delivery system components;

3) Investigate alternative grass selections and other options;

4) Ensure that existing equipment is operating as efficiently as possible;

5) Stay abreast of recent technologies and set feasible plans for retrofitting.

CAR WASHES8:

As part of the City’s conservation plan, a Car Wash Certification Program was created
to encourage local professional car washes to conserve water and properly maintain
their systems. The Certification Program has been so successful that currently all
known area car washes have been certified. However, in some cases this created an
impression that all Certified Car Wash facilities used reclaimed water, which is not
necessarily always the case.

Current certification criteria for automatic car wash systems require that, if facilities
do not use a water reclamation system, its basic wash package must consume less
than 55 gallons.

All vehicle wash facilities that desire to be approved shall comply with the
requirements of the latest conservation certification program of the City for vehicle
wash facilities. Any vehicle wash facility that is not certified by the Public Utilities
Director, and which reclaims 50% or more of the wash water, shall be closed during
Stage 3 mandatory water conservation restrictions and rules until it is in compliance
with the requirements of the conservation certification program, or until the Stage 3

Unless otherwise enforced under SECTION 8. G.S. 143-355.2(h1).

City of Raleigh’s WSRP 2010 31

Page 78
mandatory water conservation restrictions and rules are repealed. All certified
vehicle wash facilities, following certification, shall display at entrance of the facility
the approved for water conservation placard issued by the Public Utilities
Department at all times.

HOSPITALITY: RESTAURANTS & HOTELS:

Under this Plan, all hospitality service providers will be required to educate patrons
and employees on the need to conserve water and how to prepare for drought
conditions. All service providers will adhere to the following measures:

Drinking water shall not be served in a public restaurant, except upon request.

Hotels/motels/bed and breakfast inns will ask guests spending more than one night
to use their towels and bed linens more than once between laundering.

Installation of flow reducing sink spray nozzles.

Install flow reducers on dishwashers.

Fix all leaks.

Retrofit inefficient water devices: toilets, aerators, etc. when feasible.

During Stage 3, paper plates must be used.

Hotels, motels, hostels, and bed and breakfast inns will ask all guests whom spend
more than one night to use their towels and bed linens more than once between
laundering.

MAJOR WATER USERS (MWUS):

Major Water Users (MWUs) are a subset of Major Water Classes (MWCs) who
consume 100,000 gallons or more per day. 9

The drought of 2007-2008 illustrated that the closing of some business did little to
ease water demand. Additionally, several MWUS have already implemented water
efficient upgrades and, consequently, cannot make further reductions without
reducing and/or halting production altogether. To combat these issues, all MWUs are
required to complete the following:

Conduct an American Water Works Association (AWWA) certified water audit 10. All
MWUs will receive notice to complete a water audit. Upon receipt of this notice, all
MWUs will have 90 days to complete audit and submit the results.

Water audits will be individually assessed and a timeline for retrofitting will be
determined by the City and the MWU, if retrofitting changes are deemed necessary.

9
If there is any confusion concerning a water customer’s status as a MWC, please contact Public
Utilities Department.
10
Audits may be prepared by either a company employee or an outside agency as long as it abides by
AWWA standards. Audits will need to be repeated every five years.

APPENDIX A: Best Management Practices (BMPs):
INDOOR WATER USES:

1) Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator or microwave instead of using running

water. Wash fruits and vegetables with a vegetable brush in a basin or bowl
instead of using running water.

2) Scrape or wipe, rather than rinse, dishes before loading into the dishwasher.
Wash only full loads. Consider replacing an old dishwasher with a water and
energy saving model.

3) Wash only full loads of laundry or use the appropriate water level or load size
selection on the washing machine. Pre-soak heavily soiled items. Use detergent
sparingly in order to avoid rinsing more than the normal cycle. Consider
purchasing a high efficiency washing machine to save laundry water and energy.

4) Install EPA WaterSense labeled toilets, faucet aerators, and low-flow

showerheads.

5) A leaky toilet can waste 200 gallons of water per day. To detect leaks in a toilet,
add a few drops of food coloring to the tank water. Do not flush. Wait a few
minutes. The toilet is leaking if the colored water appears in the bowl.

6) Commercial and industrial customers not otherwise regulated as major water

customers should review their water uses and should consider implementing
industry specific best management water conservation practices.

7) Check for leaks in toilets, faucets, shower heads and any other plumbing fixtures
and repair these leaks immediately.

City of Raleigh’s WSRP 2010 47

Page 94
OUTDOOR WATER USES:

1) Check for plumbing leaks. A single dripping faucet can waste hundreds, even
thousands, of gallons per year. Most water leaks are easy to detect and repair
with basic plumbing skills and a few simple tools.

2) Have soil tested by the North Carolina Department of Agronomy/Soil Testing

Section.

3) Plant native trees and shrubs. The North Carolina State University Cooperative
Extension Service has excellent suggestions for home gardeners. Mulch shrubs
and plants to reduce water loss due to evaporation. Reduce the amount of turf
areas and/or mix these with shaded areas to reduce water needs.

4) Raise the height of your lawn mower’s blade to let grass grow taller. This reduces
water requirements and longer grass blades shade each other, reducing
evaporation, and inhibiting weed growth.

5) Water slowly and thoroughly during cool, windless hours to prevent water loss
from evaporation.

6) Be attentive if using a hose and sprinkler; consider setting an alarm or the kitchen
timer as a reminder to move the hose and sprinkler as needed.

7) Use a rain gauge. One inch of water per week will keep lawns green throughout
the summer.

8) Water should be applied slowly to achieve deep penetration and prevent water
run-off. Do not water impervious surfaces such as streets, parking lots, driveways
and/or sidewalks.

City of Raleigh’s WSRP 2010 48

9) Install a drip irrigation system for watering gardens, trees, and shrubs. Drip
systems are very efficient because they provide a slow, steady trickle of water to
plants at their roots through a network of hidden pipes and hoses.

10) Use properly treated reuse water for irrigation as an alternative water source.
Raleigh’s water conservation rules do not regulate the amount of reuse water;
therefore, any amount can be used during any mandatory water conservation
stage. Contact the Raleigh Public Utilities Department for information regarding
reuse water availability.

11) Capture rainwater in cisterns and rain barrels. The average rainfall in the Raleigh
area is approximately 48 inches per year. Run-off from the roof of a typical 2,500
square foot home is approximately 75,000 gallons a year. The City of Raleigh
encourages customers to capture rainwater to use for irrigating landscapes.

12) Consider the amount of water being used and look for ways to use less whenever
possible. Do not leave water running - use spring loaded or other automatic shut-
off devices on hoses or outdoor faucets.

13) Use commercial car washing facilities, especially those which have been certified
by the City of Raleigh as water conserving facilities, instead of washing cars at
home.

14) Use a broom or blower to remove dust, dirt, leaves and other debris from
sidewalks, driveways, porches and/or decks rather than water.

APPENDIX B: Guidelines and Procedures for Enforcement Personnel:
1) A customer is in violation of the prevailing water responses when he/she is using
water outdoors in conflict with existing regulations as declared by the City
Manager.

2) Right of Access. The Public Utilities Director, or designated staff, has the right to
enter, at a reasonable time, any property served by a connection to the City WSSP
for the purpose of performing the duties of this Plan. In cases where the property
owner, managing agent, or tenant chooses not to provide such access, the Public
Utilities Director or authorized staff may obtain a warrant and inspect or may, in
accordance with applicable law, interrupt water service to the property.

3) A citation for a violation is warranted when a City of Raleigh employee observes

watering during prohibited days or times.

4) Prior to issuing a citation, the employee must check the data sheet containing list
of variances granted, previous citations issued and identified well water
customers.

5) Well water customers are not subject to the conservation stages.

6) Customers given a variance must comply with the stated conditions on the
variance form and must post the variance on site.

7) When a violation is determined to have occurred, Public Utilities employees

should:

a. Confirm all appropriate meter and street address information;

b. Leave a door hanger/citation at the site of the violation which contains

information about the water responses and the violation;

c. Maintain the copy of the door hanger;

Page 97
 d. If customer refuses to stop his water use after being informed of the violation,
the Public Utilities employee should alert the dispatcher for further directions.

e. In the event that a customer becomes hostile or threatens the employee, the
employee should leave the property and contact the Enforcement Team
immediately for support and direction.
