CERTIFIED STATEMENT
FY2014 RURAL OPERATING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM County of MACON
WHEREAS, the state-funded, formula-based Rural Operating Assistance Program (ROAP) administered by the North Carolina Department of Transportation, Public Transportation Division provides funding for the operating cost of passenger trips for counties within the state; WHEREAS, the county uses the most recent transportation plans (i.e. CTSP, CTIP, LCP) available and other public involvement strategies to learn about the transportation needs of agencies and individuals in the county before determining the sub-allocation of these ROAP funds; WHEREAS, the county government or regional public transportation authorities created pursuant to Article 25 or Article 26 of Chapter 160A of the General Statutes (upon written agreement with the municipalities or counties served) are the only eligible recipients of Rural Operating Assistance Program funds which are allocated to the counties based on a formula as described in the Program Guidelines included in the ROAP State Management Plan. NCDOT will disburse the ROAP funds only to counties and eligible transportation authorities and not to any sub-recipients selected by the county; WHEREAS, the county finance officer will be considered the county official accountable for the administration of the Rural Operating Assistance Program in the county, unless otherwise designated by the Board of County Commissioners; WHEREAS, the passenger trips provided with ROAP funds must be accessible to individuals with disabilities and be provided without discrimination on the basis of national origin, creed, age, race or gender (FTA C 4702.1A, FTA C 4704.1, Americans with Disabilities Act 1990); and WHEREAS, the period of performance for these funds will be July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014 regardless of the date on which ROAP funds are disbursed to the county.

NOW, THEREFORE, by signing below, the duly authorized representatives of the County of Macon, North Carolina certify that the following statements are true and accurate:
The county employed a documented methodology for sub-allocating ROAP funds that involved the participation of eligible agencies and citizens. Outreach efforts to include the participation of the elderly and individuals with disabilities, persons with limited English proficiency, minorities and low income persons in the countys sub-allocation decision have been documented. The county will advise any sub-recipients about the source of the ROAP funds, specific program requirements and restrictions, eligible program expenses and reporting requirements. The county will be responsible for invoicing any sub-recipients for unexpended ROAP funds as needed. The county will monitor ROAP funded services routinely to verify that ROAP funds are being spent on allowable activities and that the eligibility of service recipients is being properly documented. The county will maintain records of trips and services for five years that prove that an eligible citizen was provided an eligible transportation service on the billed date, by whatever conveyance at the specified cost. The county will be responsible for monitoring the safety, quality and cost of ROAP funded services and assures that any procurements by subrecipients for contracted services will follow state guidelines. The county will conduct regular evaluations of ROAP funded passenger trips provided throughout the period of performance.

The county will only use the ROAP funds to provide trips when other funding sources are not available for the same purpose or the other funding sources for the same purpose have been completely exhausted. The county assures that the required matching funds for the FY2014 ROAP can be generated from fares and/or provided from local funds. The county will notify the Mobility Development Specialist assigned to the county if any ROAP funded services are discontinued before the end of the period of performance due to the lack of funding. No additional ROAP funds will be available. The county will provide an accounting of trips and expenditures in a semi-annual report and a final year-end report to NCDOT Public Transportation Division or its designee. Any interest earned on the ROAP funds will be expended for eligible program uses as specified in the ROAP application. The County will include ROAP funds received and expended in its annual independent audit on the schedule of federal and state financial assistance. Funds passed through to other agencies will be identified as such. The county is applying for the following amounts of FY2014 Rural Operating Assistance Program funds:

July 23, 2013 Private Drinking Water Well (PDWW) A private drinking water well as defined in G.S. 87-85 (10a) Repair Permit PDWW According to 15A NCAC 02C .0302 the definition of a repair is work involved in deepening, reaming, sealing, installing or changing casing depths, perforating, screening, or cleaning, acidizing or redevelopment of a well excavation, or any other work which results in breaking or opening the well seal. This definition is supported by the NC Division of Environmental Health (DEH) whose comments at a recent meeting included that deepening or hydrofracturing the well are considered repairs. However, though the definition of a repair is very clear it does not differentiate the amount of work involved in actually permitting these activities and therefore should not be used in determining fee structure. Fee structure is determined by the actual direct and indirect costs involved in conducting an activity. Note: These repair activities require an application by the owner/agent and a Construction Permit issued before any of these drilling activities can proceed. 15A NCAC 02C .0304 requires Environmental Health staff to conduct a field investigation to evaluate the property before issuing any permit. The level of time and effort required to perform the site evaluation for the above repair activities is no different than for a new construction permits. It is possible that a permit would be denied because of existing site conditions or inability to meet set back requirements. This is why in the current fee schedule we do not differentiate between these repair activities and placement of a new well.

MACON COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH BILLING AND COLLECTION POLICIES

RATIONALE North Carolina law1 allows a local board of health to impose a fee for services to be rendered by a

local health department, except where the imposition of a fee is prohibited by statute or where an employee of the local health department is performing the services as an agent of the State.
Fees may be based on a plan recommended by the Health Director; The plan must be approved by the Board of Health and the Board of County Commissioners; And, fees collected under the authority of this subsection are to be deposited to the account of the local health department so that they may be expended for public health purposes in accordance with the provisions of the Local Government Budget and Fiscal Control Act. The State requires local health departments to provide certain services, and no one may be denied these services. It is in the best interest of our community for the Health Center to:

Assure that all residents can get all legally required public health services. Provide as many other recommended and needed health services as possible, within the resources we
still have available to use. The purpose of charging fees is to increase resources and use them to meet residents needs in a fair and balanced way. Fees are necessary to help identify and cover the full cost of providing public health services. As much as possible, fees are based on the true cost of providing a particular service (calculated as direct costs plus indirect costs). Throughout the year, ongoing cost analyses are performed and fee schedules shall be adjusted by the Health Director, with approval from the Board of Health and the Board of Commissioners in the amount of the increased cost for prevision of said services. A list of Health Center fees is available upon request. The information in the document below is the fee plan for FY 14, effective on July 1, 2010. This Billing Guide for FY14 replaces all earlier plans. COST OF SERVICE DETERMINATION Costs for services received through the Health Center are firstly based on the current Medicaid rate and then adjusted according to the actual cost of the service. If there is no Medicaid rate then fees are determined through cost analysis. Cost analysis takes into account all of the resources associated with providing a particular service and calculates the actual cost to provide that service. Cost analysis includes the calculation of direct and indirect costs for services and then adding these figures together to determine the actual cost of the service. Calculating direct cost: Direct costs are expenses that can be easily related to the provision of a specific service, i.e., physician and support staff salaries and benefits, medical supplies, lab tests, and other resources consumed at the time of the service. Calculating indirect costs: Indirect costs involve resources that are not directly consumed during the provision of a service, but without them the provision of that service would not be possible, i.e., administrative staff salaries and benefits, training costs, facility costs, insurance premiums, office equipment and supplies, and recruiting and marketing expenses.

PAYMENT BY CONSUMER Fees are charged for services and collected at the Health Center. See attachment for fee schedule. All fees are the responsibility of the patient, consumer or responsible party and may be subject to the sliding fee scale. No consumer will be refused services solely on their inability to pay for said services. All fees may be paid by cash, check, or major credit card. Full payment is expected at the time of service. Consumers will be informed of their account status at each visit. An itemized receipt will be provided to individuals at time of payment. Fees for adult dental services will be collected before the service is rendered. Prepayment of co-pays for all services in which co-payments apply will be required and collected when services are rendered. Fees will be charged to individuals in families with annual gross incomes exceeding specified levels of a scale based on current Federal Poverty Income Guidelines. Verification of income and family size must be provided to determine a patients eligibility status. Verification (proof) of income may be provided for Family Planning services; however, if the patient has no proof of income, the patients declaration of income shall be accepted and any charge shall be based on what he/she declares. Falsification of this information will permanently disqualify consumers from using sliding fee scale. except for Family Planning services. Eligibility will be reevaluated as patients income and household status changes or at least annually. If income cannot be verified at the time of screening, the charge for all services except Family Planning will be at 100% pay and a Payment Agreement will be presented to the consumer for signature until verification is provided. If verification of income is received within thirty days of a service, the charge will be retroactively adjusted to reflect percent pay based on verification received. Verification received after thirty days will be applied only to future services. Eligibility of Medicaid will be determined where applicable. Individuals will be required to provide all social security numbers and names used for employment purposes. If an individual refuses to provide information to verify income, they will not be eligible for the sliding fee scale and will be at 100% pay. Customary visit services for mandatory childhood immunizations, community outreach, Tuberculosis (TB), TB related X-rays, Sexually Transmitted Disease control (STD), and other epidemiological investigations are provided at no cost to the consumer but may be billed to Medicaid or other third party agent. Separate fees may be charged for drugs, supplies, laboratory services, X-rays and other technological services, if appropriate. The costs of services performed by providers not affiliated with the Macon County Public Health Center are the responsibility of the patient/consumer. Fees may be charged or waived for educational services provided to individuals or groups, such as orientation, preceptorship, field training or classes. Charges not eligible for sliding scale discount include: a. Environmental Health services b. Non-mandated immunization services c. Miscellaneous/general services (see Miscellaneous/General section below) d. Out-of-county residents (see Out-of-County Service Restrictions section below) e. Specific insurance situations (see Insurance section below for details) Bills will be mailed monthly to individuals who have not paid charges in full for services rendered (exception Family Planning for those that request no mail be sent to their home). All bills will show total charges, as well as any discount that may have been provided. Arrangements may be made for payment plans when required for good cause. PAYMENT BY THIRD PARTY Verification of enrollment under Medicare, Medicaid, insurance or other third party payment plan is required by presentation of a valid card at the time of service. The Health Center is required to bill only

participating third party payers for services rendered. Services that are billed to third parties are billed at 100% of the total charge with no discount applied. When the claim is returned from the third party payer all discounts are applied at that time. (i.e., any applicable sliding fee scale adjustment) For services rendered to consumers with insurance where the Health Center is not a participating provider, the consumer will be responsible for full payment of service when the service is delivered. The Health Center is currently participating with Medicaid, Medicare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Crescent, Tri-care, United Health Care and NC Health Choice for medical services. The consumer is responsible for charges not covered by third party payers. Co-pay amounts must be paid at the time of services and are not subject to the sliding fee eligibility scale. Sliding fee scale discount does not apply in the following situations: a. Consumers with insurance in which MCPH is not participating provider. b. Consumers with any insurance who choose not to use their coverage. c. Insurance co-payments (when MCPH is a participating provider) ACCOUNT COLLECTIONS AND BAD DEBT The Health Center will issue all consumers a monthly statement of fees that have been incurred and are due. Consumers are expected to make payment at the time services are rendered. If a balance is carried forward consumers who have not made a payment on their account for any service(s) received from Macon County Public Health for 120 days shall be required to pay their past due balance before another service shall be rendered (see Service Denial for further information). The Health Center may use the following resources to pursue collection of patient accounts: billing statements, past due notices, collection agencies or credit bureaus, and the NC Local Government Debt Setoff Clearinghouse (ref: NCGS 105A-1 et seq.) as administered by the NC Department of Revenue Accounts will be reviewed annually for bad debt status, and at that time with the approval of the BOH and the BOCCs the amounts may be written off for accounting purposes if no further collection is anticipated. Any payments received for write-off debts will be accepted and credited to appropriate accounts. At no time will a patient be notified that the account has been written off as a bad debt. Bad debts, which are determined uncollectible (i.e. bankruptcy, death), will be written off permanently upon notification. CONSUMER DONATION POLICY A consumer may choose to make a donation to the agency. The consumer will never be asked to make a donation, but if offered the donation is accepted. Donations are not required, and are not a prerequisite for the provision of any service. Billing requirements set out above in the Payment by Consumer section are not waived because of consumer donations. (ref: Donation Policy 101.9) RETURNED CHECK POLICY A $25.00 fee will be charged for a returned check written to Macon County Public Health (MCPH). The consumer will be notified via telephone, if possible, of the returned check. If a telephone number is not available, a written notification will be sent certified letter. All returned checks will be made good via cash, money order, and/or certified check. If a consumer has two returned checks within a one-year period, he/she will be required to pay for services in advance via cash, money order, or certified check for the period of one year. After the one-year period expires, if another returned check occurs, all future bills must be paid with cash, money order, or certified check prior to the provision of services.

Macon County National Incident Management System (NIMS) Implementation Plan

FOREWORD
In Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD)-5, Management of Domestic Incidents, the President directed the Secretary of Homeland Security to develop, submit for review to the Homeland Security Council, and administer a National Incident Management System (NIMS). This system will provide a consistent Nationwide approach for Federal, State, local and tribal governments to work effectively and efficiently together to prepare for, prevent, respond to, and recover from domestic incidents, regardless of cause, size, or complexity. The NIMS enhances the management of domestic incidents by establishing a single, comprehensive system for incident management and will help achieve greater cooperation among departments and agencies at all levels of government. Aside from the requirements of the HSPD, this department possesses significant responsibility as a signatory to the National Response Plan (NRP). Implementing the NIMS strengthens each departments capability and resolve to fulfill its responsibilities to the American people in times of emergency. The following NIMS Implementation Plan will help ensure that Macon County has fully incorporated the NIMS into our emergency response plans, procedures, and policies. This plan also provides guidance for all divisions to ensure that all personnel are appropriately trained in the NIMS and prepared to effectively and efficiently execute the departments duties under the NRP at all times.

The second phase will include evaluation of existing plans, policies, and procedures that are in need of updating to become NIMS compliant. In particular, the Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) must be evaluated for NIMS compliance. The third phase will be modifications of existing plans, procedures, and policies to reflect NIMS adoption. This includes modification of any emergency response plans in support of the EOP and any internal emergency plans such as COOP Plans. The fourth phase will verify achievement of the NIMS Integration Centers standards, including certification and credentialing of employees (further guidance on both forthcoming) as well as conducting exercises to demonstrate compliance with the standards of the NIMS Integration Center. It is anticipated that the implementation phases will overlap in order to speed and strengthen the process. Phase I Initial Staff Training.. 12 months a. b. c.

SECTION VI: GLOSSARY OF KEY TERMS


Agency: A division of government with a specific function offering a particular kind of assistance. In ICS, agencies are defined either as jurisdictional (having statutory responsibility for incident management) or as assisting or cooperating (providing resources or other assistance). Agency Representative: A person assigned by a primary, assisting, or cooperating Federal, State, local, or tribal government agency or private entity that has been delegated authority to make decisions affecting that agencys or organizations participation in incident management activities following appropriate consultation with the leadership of that agency. Area Command (Unified Area Command): An organization established (1) to oversee the management of multiple incidents that are each being handled by an ICS organization or (2) to oversee the management of large or multiple incidents to which several Incident Management Teams have been assigned. Area Command has the responsibility to set overall strategy and priorities, allocate critical resources according to priorities, ensure that incidents are properly managed, and ensure that objectives are met and strategies followed. Area Command becomes Unified Area Command when incidents are multi-jurisdictional. Area Command may be established at an emergency operations center facility or at some location other than an incident command post. Assessment: The evaluation and interpretation of measurements and other information to provide a basis for decisionmaking. Assignments: Tasks given to resources to perform within a given operational period that are based on operational objectives defined in the IAP. Assistant: Title for subordinates of principal Command Staff positions. The title indicates a level of technical capability, qualifications, and responsibility subordinate to the primary positions. Assistants may also be assigned to unit leaders. Assisting Agency: An agency or organization providing personnel, services, or other resources to the agency with direct responsibility for incident management. See also Supporting Agency. Available Resources: Resources assigned to an incident, checked in, and available for a mission assignment, normally located in a Staging Area. Branch: The organizational level having functional or geographical responsibility for major aspects of incident operations. A branch is organizationally situated between the section and the division or group in the Operations Section, and between the section and units in the Logistics Section. Branches are identified by the use of Roman numerals or by functional area. Chain of Command: A series of command, control, executive, or management positions in hierarchical order of authority. Check-In: The process through which resources first report to an incident. Checkin locations include the incident command post, Resources Unit, incident base, camps, staging areas, or directly on the site. Chief: The ICS title for individuals responsible for management of functional sections: Operations, Planning, Logistics, Finance/Administration, and Intelligence (if established as a separate section).

Command: The act of directing, ordering, or controlling by virtue of explicit statutory, regulatory, or delegated authority. Command Staff: In an incident management organization, the Command Staff consists of the Incident Command and the special staff positions of Public Information Officer, Safety Officer, Liaison Officer, and other positions as required, who report directly to the Incident Commander. They may have an assistant or assistants, as needed. Common Operating Picture: A broad view of the overall situation as reflected by situation reports, aerial photography, and other information or intelligence. Communications Unit: An organizational unit in the Logistics Section responsible for providing communication services at an incident or an EOC. A Communications Unit may also be a facility (e.g. a trailer or mobile van) used to support an Incident Communications Center. Cooperating Agency: An agency supplying assistance other than direct operational or support functions or resources to the incident management effort. Coordinate: To advance systematically an analysis and exchange of information among principals who have or may have a need to know certain information to carry out specific incident management responsibilities. Deputy: A fully qualified individual who, in the absence of a superior, can be delegated the authority to manage a functional operations or perform a specific task. In some cases, a deputy can act as relief for a superior and, therefore, must be fully qualified in the position. Deputies can be assigned to the Incident Commander, General Staff, and Branch Directors.

Dispatch: The ordered movement of a resource or resources to an assigned operational mission or an administrative move from one location to another. Division: The partition of an incident into geographical areas of operation. Divisions are established when the number of resources exceeds the manageable span of control of the Operations Chief. A division is located within the ICS organization between the branch and resources in the Operations Section. Emergency: Absent a Presidentially declared emergency, any incident(s), human-caused or natural, that requires responsive action to protect life or property. Under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, an emergency means any occasion or instance for which, in the determination of the President, Federal assistance is needed to supplement State and local efforts and capabilities to save lives and to protect property and public health and safety, or to lessen or avert the threat of a catastrophe in any part of the United States. Emergency Operation Centers (EOCs): The physical location at which the coordination of information and resources to support domestic incident management activities normally takes place. And EOC may be a temporary facility or may be located in a more central or permanently established facility, perhaps at a higher level of organization within a jurisdiction. EOCs may be organized by major functional disciplines (e.g., fire, law enforcement, and medical services), by jurisdiction (e.g., Federal, State, regional, county, city, tribal), or some combination thereof. Emergency Operations Plan: A comprehensive emergency operations plan encompassing all hazards that pose a significant threat to the community.

Emergency Public Information: Information that is disseminated primarily in anticipation of an emergency or during an emergency. In addition to providing situational information to the public, it also frequently provides directive actions required to be taken by the general public. Emergency Response Provider: Includes Federal, State, local, and tribal emergency public safety, law enforcement, emergency response, emergency medical (including hospital emergency facilities), and related personnel, agencies, and authorities. See Section 2 (6), Homeland Security Act of 2002, Pub. L. 107-296, 116 Stat. 2135 (2002). Also known as Emergency Responder. Evacuation: Organized, phased, and supervised withdrawal, dispersal, or removal of civilians from dangerous or potentially dangerous area, and their reception and care in safe areas. Event: A planned, nonemergency activity. ICS can be used as the management system for a wide range of events, e.g., parades, concerts, or sporting events. Federal: Of or pertaining to the Federal Government of the United States of America. Function: Function refers to the five major activities in ICS: Command, Operations, Planning, Logistics, and Finance/Administration. The term function is also used when describing the activity involved, e.g., the planning function. A sixth function, Intelligence, may be established, if required, to meet incident management needs. General Staff: A group of incident management personnel organized according to function and reporting to the Incident Commander. The General Staff normally consists of the Operations Section Chief, Planning Section Chief, Logistics

Section Chief, and Finance/Administration Section Chief. Group: Established to divide the incident management structure into functional areas of operation. Groups are composed of resources assembled to perform a special function not necessarily within a single geographic division. Groups, when activated, are located between branches and resources in the Operations Section. (See Division). Hazard: Something that is potentially dangerous or harmful, often the root cause of an unwanted outcome. Incident: An occurrence or event, natural or human-caused, that requires an emergency response to protect life or property. Incidents can, for example, include major disasters, emergencies, terrorist attacks, terrorist threats, wildland and urban fires, floods, hazardous materials spills, nuclear accidents, aircraft accidents, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, tropical storms, war-related disasters, public health and medical emergencies, and other occurrences requiring an emergency response. Incident Action Plan: An oral or written plan containing general objectives reflecting the overall strategy for managing an incident. It may include the identification of operational resources and assignments. It may also include attachments that provide direction and important information for management of the incident during one or more operational periods. Incident Command Post (ICP): The field location at which the primary tactical-level, on-scene incident command functions are performed. The ICP may be collocated with the incident base or other incident facilities and is normally identified by a green rotating or flashing light.

Incident Command System: A standardized on-scene emergency management construct specifically designed to provide for the adoption of an integrated organizational structure that reflects the complexity and demands of single or multiple incidents, without being hindered by jurisdictional boundaries. ICS is the combination of facilities, equipment, personnel, procedures, and communications operating within a common organizational structure, designed to aid in the management of resources during incidents. It is used for all kinds of emergencies and is applicable to small as well as large and complex incidents. ICS is used by various jurisdictions and functional agencies, both public and private, to organize field-level incident management operations. Incident Commander (IC): The individual responsible for all incident activities, including the development of strategies and tactics and the ordering and the release of resources. The IC has overall authority and responsibility for conducting incident operations and is responsible for the management of all incident operations at the incident site. Incident Management Team (IMT): The IC and appropriate Command and General Staff personnel assigned to an incident. Incident Objectives: Statements of guidance and direction necessary for selecting appropriate strategy(s) and the tactical direction of resources. Incident objectives are based on realistic expectations of what can be accomplished when all allocated resources have been effectively deployed. Incident objectives must be achievable and measurable, yet flexible enough to allow strategic and tactical alternatives. Initial Action: The actions taken by those responders first to arrive at an incident site.

Initial Response: Resources initially committed to an incident. Intelligence Officer: The intelligence officer is responsible for managing internal information, intelligence, and operational security requirements supporting incident management activities. These may include information security and operational security activities, as well as the complex task of ensuring that sensitive information of all types (e.g., classified information, law enforcement sensitive information, proprietary information, or export-controlled information) is handled in a way that not only safeguards the information, but also ensures that it gets to those who need access to it to perform their missions effectively and safely. Joint Information Center (JIC): A facility established to coordinate all incident-related public information activities. It is the central point of contact for all news media at the scene of the incident. Public information officials from all participating agencies should collocate at the JIC. Jurisdiction: A range or sphere of authority. Public agencies have jurisdiction at an incident related to their legal responsibilities and authority. Jurisdictional authority at an incident can be political or geographical (e.g., city, county, tribal, State, or Federal boundary lines) or functional (e.g., law enforcement, public health). Liaison: A form of communication for establishing and maintaining mutual understanding and cooperation. Liaison Officer: A member of the Command Staff responsible for coordinating with representatives from cooperating and assisting agencies. Local Government: A county, municipality, city, town, township, local public authority, school district, special district, intrastate district, council of governments (regardless of whether the council of governments is

incorporated as a nonprofit corporation under State law), regional or interstate government entity, or agency or instrumentality of a local government; an Indian tribe or authorized tribal organization, or in Alaska a Native village or Alaska Regional Native Corporation; a rural community, unincorporated town or village, or other public entity. See Section 2 (10), Homeland Security Act of 2002, Pub. L. 107-296, 116 Stat. 2135 (2002). Logistics: Providing resources and other services to support incident management. Logistics Section: The section responsible for providing facilities, services, and material support for the incident. Major Disaster: As defined under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5122), a major disaster is any natural catastrophe (including any hurricane, tornado, storm, high water, wind-driven water, tidal wave, tsunami, earthquake, volcanic eruption, landslide, mudslide, snowstorm, or drought), regardless of cause, any fire, flood, or explosion, in any part of the United States, which in the determination of the President causes damage of sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant major disaster assistance under this Act to supplement the efforts and available resources of States, tribes, local governments, and disaster relief organizations in alleviating the damage, loss, hardship, or suffering caused thereby. Management of Objective: A management approach that involves a fourstep process for achieving the incident goal. The Management by Objectives approach includes the following: establishing overarching objectives; developing and issuing assignments, plans, procedures, and protocols; establishing specific, measurable objectives for various incident management functional activities and directing efforts to fulfill them, in support of defined strategic objectives; and

documenting results to measure performance and facilitate corrective action. Mitigation: The activities designed to reduce or eliminate risks to persons or property or to lessen the actual or potential effects or consequences of an incident. Mitigation measures may be implemented prior to, during, or after an incident. Mitigation measures are often informed by lessons learned from prior incidents. Mitigation involves ongoing actions to reduce exposure to, probability of, or potential loss from hazards. Measures may include zoning and building codes, floodplain buyouts, and analysis of hazardrelated data to determine where it is safe to build or locate temporary facilities. Mitigation can include efforts to educate governments, businesses, and the public on measures they can take to reduce loss and injury. Mobilization: The process and procedures used by all organizations Federal, State, local, and tribal for activating, assembling, and transporting all resources that have been requested to respond to or support an incident. Multiagency Coordination Entity: A multiagency coordination entity functions within a broader multiagency coordination system. It may establish the priorities among incidents and associated resource allocations, deconflict agency policies, and provide strategic guidance and direction to support incident management activities. Multiagency Coordination Systems: Multiagency coordination systems provide the architecture to support coordination for incident prioritization, critical resource allocation, communications systems integration, and information coordination. The components of multiagency coordination systems include facilities, equipment, emergency operation centers (EOCs), specific multiagency coordination entities, personnel, procedures, and communications. These systems assist

agencies and organizations to fully integrate the subsystems of the NIMS. Multijurisdictional Incident: An incident requiring action from multiple agencies that each have jurisdiction to manage certain aspects of an incident. In ICS, these incidents will be managed under Unified Command. Mutual-Aid Agreement: Written agreement between agencies and/or jurisdictions that they will assist one another on request, by furnishing personnel, equipment, and/or expertise in a specified manner. National: Of a nationwide character, including the Federal, State, local, and tribal aspects of governance and polity. National Disaster Medical System: A cooperative, asset-sharing partnership between the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of Defense. NDMS provides resources for meeting the continuity of care and mental health services requirements of the Emergency Support Function 8 in the Federal Response Plan. National Incident Management System: A system mandated by HSPD-5 that provides a consistent nationwide approach for Federal, State, local and tribal governments; the private-sector, and nongovernmental organizations to work effectively and efficiently together to prepare for, respond to, and recover from domestic incidents, regardless of cause, size, or complexity. To provide for interoperability and compatibility among Federal, State, local, and tribal capabilities, the NIMS includes a core set of concepts, principles, and terminology. HSPD-5 identifies these as the ICS; multiagency coordination systems; training; identification and management of resources (including systems for classifying types of resources);

qualification and certification; and the collection, tracking, and reporting of incident information and incident resources. National Response Plan: A plan mandated by HSPD-5 that integrates Federal domestic prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery plans into one alldiscipline, all-hazards plan. Nongovernmental Organization: An entity with an association that is based on interests of its members, individuals, or institutions and that is not created by a government, but may work cooperatively with government. Such organizations serve a public purpose, not a private benefit. Examples of NGOs include faith-based charity organizations and the American Red Cross. Operational Period: The time scheduled for executing a given set of operation actions, as specified in the Incident Action Plan. Operational periods can be of various lengths, although usually not over 24 hours. Operations Section: The section responsible for all tactical incident operations. In ICS, it normally includes subordinate branches, divisions, and/or groups. Personnel Accountability: The ability to account for the location and welfare of incident personnel. It is accomplished when supervisors ensure that ICS principles and processes are functional and that personnel are working within established incident management guidelines. Planning Meeting: A meeting held as needed prior to and throughout the duration of an incident to select specific strategies and tactics for incident control operations and for service and support planning. For larger incidents, the planning meeting is a major element in the development of the Incident Action Plan (IAP).

Planning Section: Responsible for the collection, evaluation, and dissemination of operational information related to the incident, and for the preparation and documentation of the IAP. This section also maintains information on the current and forecasted situation and on the status of resources assigned to the incident. Preparedness: The range of deliberate, critical tasks and activities necessary to build, sustain, and improve the operational capability to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from domestic incidents. Preparedness is a continuous process. Preparedness involves efforts at all levels of government and between government and private-sector and nongovernmental organizations to identify threats, determine vulnerabilities, and identify required resources. Within the NIMS, preparedness is operationally focused on establishing guidelines, protocols, and standards for planning, training and exercises, personnel qualification and certification, equipment certification, and publications management. Preparedness Organizations: The groups and for a that provide interagency coordination for domestic incident management activities in a nonemergency context. Preparedness organizations can include all agencies with a role in incident management, for prevention, preparedness, response, or recovery activities. They represent a wide variety of committees, planning groups, and other organizations that meet and coordinate to ensure the proper level of planning, training, equipping, and other preparedness requirements within a jurisdiction or area. Prevention: Actions to avoid an incident or to intervene or stop an incident from occurring. Prevention involves actions to protect lives and property. It involves applying intelligence and other information to a range of activities that may include such countermeasures as deterrence operations; heightened inspections;

improved surveillance and security operations; investigations to determine the full nature and source of the threat; public health and agricultural surveillance and testing processes; immunizations, isolation, or quarantine; and, as appropriate, specific law enforcement operations aimed at deterring, preempting, interdicting, or disrupting illegal activity and apprehending potential perpetrators and bringing them to justice. Private Sector: Organizations and entities that are not part of any governmental structure. It includes for-profit and not-forprofit organizations, formal and informal structures, commerce and industry, and private voluntary organizations (PVO). Processes: Systems of operations that incorporate standardized procedures, methodologies, and functions necessary to provide resources effectively and efficiently. These include resource typing, resource ordering and tracking, and coordination. Public Information Officer: A member of the Command Staff responsible for interfacing with the public and media or with other agencies with incident-related information requirements. Publications Management: The publications management subsystem includes materials development, publication control, publication supply, and distribution. The development and distribution of NIMS materials is managed through this subsystem. Consistent documentation is critical to success, because it ensures that all responders are familiar with the documentation used in a particular incident regardless of the location or the responding agencies involved. Qualification and Certification: This subsystem provides recommended qualification and certification standards for emergency responder and incident management personnel. It also allows the development of minimum standards for

resources expected to have an interstate application. Standards typically include training, currency, experience, and physical and medical fitness. Reception Area: This refers to a location separate from staging areas, where resources report in for processing and outprocessing. Reception Areas provide accountability, security, situational awareness briefings, safety awareness, distribution of IAPs, supplies and equipment, feeding and bed down. Recovery: The development, coordination, and execution of service and site-restoration plans; the reconstitution of government operations and services; individual, privatesector, nongovernmental, and publicassistance programs to provide housing and to promote restoration; long-term care and treatment of affected persons; additional measures for social, political, environmental, and economic restoration; evaluation of the incident to identify lessons learned; postincident reporting; and development of initiatives to mitigate the effects of future incidents. Recovery Plan: A plan developed by a State, local, or tribal jurisdiction with assistance from responding Federal agencies to restore the affect area. Resources: Personnel and major items of equipment, supplies, and facilities available or potentially available for assignment to incident operations and for which status is maintained. Resources are described by kind and type and may be used in operational support or supervisory capacities at an incident or at an EOC. Resource Management: Efficient incident management requires a system for identifying available resources at all jurisdictional levels to enable timely and unimpeded access to resources needed to prepare for, respond to, or recover from an incident. Resource management under the NIMS includes mutual-aid agreements; the

use of special Federal, State, local, and tribal teams; and resource mobilization protocols. Resources Unit: Functional unit within the Planning Section responsible for recording the status of resources committed to the incident. This unit also evaluates resources currently committed to the incident, the effects additional responding resources will have on the incident, and anticipate resource needs. Response: Activities that address the short-term, direct effects of an incident. Response includes immediate actions to save lives, protect property, and meet basic human needs. Response also includes the execution of emergency operations plans and o f mitigation activities designed to limit the loss of life, personal injury, property damage, and other unfavorable outcomes. As indicated by the situation, response activities include applying intelligence and other information to lessen the effects or consequences of an incident; increased security operations; continuing investigations into nature and source of the threat; ongoing public health and agricultural surveillance and testing processes; immunizations, isolation, or quarantine; and specific law enforcement operations aimed at preempting, interdicting, or disrupting illegal activity, and apprehending actual perpetrators and bringing them to justice. Safety Officer: A member of the Command Staff responsible for monitoring and assessing safety hazards or unsafe situations and for developing measures for ensuring personnel safety. Section: The organizational level having responsibility for a major functional area of incident management, e.g., Operations, Planning, Logistics, Finance/Administration, and Intelligence (if established). The section is organizationally situated between the branch and the Incident Command.

Span of Control: The number of individuals a supervisor is responsible for, usually expressed as the ratio of supervisors to individuals. (Under the NIMS, an appropriate span of control is between 1:3 and 1:7). Staging Area: Location established where resources can be placed while awaiting a tactical assignment. The Operations Section manages Staging Areas. State: When capitalized, refers to any State of the United States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and any possession of the United States. See Section 2 (14), Homeland Security Act of 2002, Pub. L. 107-296, 116 Stat. 2135 (2002). Strategic: Strategic elements of incident management are characterized by continuous long-term, high-level planning by organizations headed by elected or other senior officials. These elements involve the adoption of long-range goals and objectives, the setting of priorities; the establishment of budgets and other fiscal decisions, policy development, and the application of measures of performances or effectiveness. Strike Team: A set number of resources of the same kind and type that have an established minimum number of personnel. Strategy: The general direction selected to accomplish incident objectives set by the IC. Supporting Technologies: Any technology that may be used to support the NIMS is included in this subsystem. These technologies include orthophoto mapping, remote automatic weather stations, infrared technology, and communications, among various others. Task Force: Any combination of resources assembled to support a specific mission or operational need. All resource elements

within a Task Force must have common communications and a designated leader. Technical Assistance: Support provided to State, local, and tribal jurisdictions when they have the resources but lack the complete knowledge and skills needed to perform a required activity (such as mobilehome park design and hazardous material assessments). Terrorism: Under the Homeland Security Act of 2002, terrorism is defined as activity that involves an act dangerous to human life or potentially destructive of critical infrastructure or key resources and is a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State or other subdivision of the United States in which it occurs and is intended to intimidate or coerce the civilian population or influence a government or affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping. See Section 2 (15), Homeland Security Act of 2002, Pub. L. 107-296, 116 Stat. 2135 (2002). Threat: An indication of possible violence, harm, or danger.

Type: A classification of resources in the ICS that refers to capability. Type 1 is generally considered to be more capable than Types 2, 3, or 4, respectively, because

of size; power; capacity; or, in the case of incident management teams, experience and qualifications. Unified Area Command: A Unified Area Command is established when incidents under an Area Command are multijurisdictional. (See Area Command). Unified Command: An application if ICS used when there is more than one agency with incident jurisdiction or when incidents cross political jurisdictions. Agencies work together through the designated members of the UC, often the senior person from agencies and/or disciplines participating in the UC, to establish a common set of objectives and strategies and a single IAP. Unit: The organizational element having functional responsibility for a specific incident planning, logistics, or finance/administration activity. Unity of Command: The concept by which each person within an organization reports to one and only one designated person. The purpose of unity of command is to ensure unity of effort under one responsible commander for every objective. Volunteer: For purposes of the NIMS, a volunteer is any individual accepted to perform services by the lead agency, which has authority to accept volunteer services, when the individual performs services without promise, expectation, or receipt of compensation for services performed. See e.g., 16 U.S.C. 742f and 29 CFR 553.101.

ANNEX A Relationship between the Macon County Emergency Operations Plan and the National Incident Management System (NIMS)
A-1. Background

The Emergency Operations Plan details its reliance on NIMS operating principles and protocols in applying Macon County assistance to local and regional jurisdictional partners during emergencies and disasters. The EOP integrates the resources of jurisdictions, incident management and emergency response disciplines, nongovernmental organizations, and the private-sector into a seamless framework for all hazards emergency incident response. The NIMS establishes a uniform system for incident management. The EOP serves as the core operational plan for incident management, establishing coordinating structures, processes, and protocols that must be incorporated into existing interagency incident plans. A-2. General Comparison

The following chart outlines the core elements of the NIMS and the EOP.
NIMS
Purpose Nationwide approach to domestic incident management; applicable at all jurisdictional levels and across functional disciplines in an all-hazards context. It is not an operational incident management or resource allocation plan. Components Command and Management, Preparedness, Resource Management, Communications/ Information Management, Supporting Technologies, Ongoing Management and Maintenance. Applicability The NIMS is applicable across all levels of government and emergency disciplines, and nongovernmental and private-sector organizations. HSPD-5 requires all emergency response agencies to adopt the NIMS. Adoption of NIMS by State and local organizations is a condition of Federal and state assistance. The EOP is applicable to all local agencies that may be requested to provide assistance in actual or potential incidents that require a coordinated and effective response by an appropriate combination of Federal, State, local, tribal, private-sector, and nongovernmental entities. Basic Plan including Planning considerations, Roles and Responsibilities, Concept of Operations, Incident Management Actions, Plan Management and Maintenance, Procedures and Annexes. Core operational plan for local incident management. Establishes local coordinating structures, mechanisms for local policy and operational coordination for incident management that must be incorporated into existing interagency incident plans.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Commissioner Beale announced that the open house for the new dialysis center will be held on Thursday, September 12, 2013 from 2-4 p.m. The Deputy Clerk updated the board on the status of the search for the next county manager, noting that 17 applications had been received as of this date. The board members discussed setting aside time later in the month to review applications, but took no action. It was also noted that a reception would be held for the County Manager on September 27 from 2-4 p.m. MOMENT OF SILENCE: Chairman Corbin asked those in attendance to observe a moment of silence. PLEDGE TO THE FLAG: Led by Commissioner Tate, the pledge to the flag was recited. HEARING ON REFUND REQUEST LACOSTA DEVELOPMENT CORP. AND ROBERT W. ROME: Chairman Corbin asked the County Attorney to conduct the hearing, and he in turn recognized Richard Melvin, the attorney representing LaCosta Development Corp. and Robert W. Rome. Mr. Melvin referred the board members to the request filed pursuant to North Carolina General Statute 105-228.37, explaining that due to a clerical error in the attorneys office, the incorrect sales price was placed on documents. This resulted in an overpayment of $600 in revenue stamps placed on the deeds, and Mr. Melvin requested a refund in that amount. The County Attorney reviewed the steps that must be taken in Minutes 08.13.13 Page 1 of 9

this process, adding that if the board felt that the refund was due, he would prepare the appropriate memo to the state Department of Revenue. Upon a motion by Commissioner Higdon, seconded by Commissioner Haven, the board voted unanimously to grant the refund as requested. PUBLIC COMMENT: Bill Van Horn, speaking on behalf of the Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC), provided the board with a handout regarding the recent approval of a new telecommunications tower to be located in the Rainbow Springs area. Mr. Van Horn said that the ATC would like the opportunity to comment on any proposed cell tower within four miles of the Appalachian Trail. He asked that towers be camouflaged in order to lessen the visual impact from the trail. He also said that the one-quarter-mile radius for notification in the countys ordinance appears restrictive and asked the board to consider reaching out further. Bob Kuppers, the vice-chair of the advisory board for the Macon County Heritage Center at Cowee School, told the board he had a three-fold purpose, with the first item being to express the advisory boards gratitude for the support the county has given in preparing the school for use as a heritage center. He then gave the board an update on the groups long-term vision and progress at the former school. Finally, he discussed plans for and invited the board members to attend the first annual Cowee School celebration, to be held August 17th, that includes a dinner and a concert by bluegrass group Balsam Range. ADJUSTMENTS TO AND APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA: Upon a motion by Commissioner Haven, seconded by Commissioner Tate, the board voted unanimously to approve the agenda as adjusted, as follows: To hold a closed session for the purpose of consulting with the attorney as Item 13, per the County Attorney, who noted that no action was anticipated.

PRESENTATION REGARDING NIKWASI MOUND: Principal Chief Michell Hicks of the Eastern Band of Cherokee spoke to the board regarding the Nikwasi Mound, located in Franklin. Stating that the mound belongs to the Cherokee people and it needs to be back in our Minutes 08.13.13 Page 2 of 9

title, Chief Hicks asked the commissioners for their help in making this a reality. Noting there were jurisdictional issues between the county and the Town of Franklin, Chief Hicks said, I humbly ask for you guys to give consideration to help us, because its time for that mound to come back under the name of the Cherokee. He said the tribe would consider a trade, taking into consideration the value of the property, and would consider a memorandum of agreement or understanding, promising that the Cherokee would take good care of the mound. Chairman Corbin explained that as the mound is owned by the town, the commissions role would be advisory in nature, saying that, We can certainly express our opinion to the town board. Chief Hicks said that a formal letter of request had been submitted to the town, and asked the commissioners for guidance regarding his next steps. Commissioner Beale said that the county learned a lot about the Cherokee heritage during the expansion of the county airport. We can have a stronger relationship with the Eastern Band, he said, adding that the mound would be a great place to start. Chairman Corbin offered that the board could support the request, and the County Attorney suggested doing so via a resolution. Following further discussion, the board agreed by unanimous consent to have the County Attorney draw up a proposed resolution for the board to consider. Commissioner Haven suggested discussing the issue with the town aldermen. SCALY MOUNTAIN HISTORICAL SOCIETY: John Bankston, the president of the Scaly Mountain Historical Society, told the board that the 250-member organization maintains one of the only remaining oneroom schoolhouses in the county, which serves as the only recreational facility in Flats Township. He told the board that the group has a list of some $21,000 worth of needed improvements, but was asking that the county provide $4,000 in funding to assist with restoring the playground and to replace the basketball backstop. In addition, he asked the board to consider an annual stipend of $3,000 to offset the cost of maintenance and insurance. Commissioner Beale pointed out that the county had provided the historical society with a total of $55,000 since 2006, and Mr. Bankston said he recognized that and offered thanks for the funds. During discussion, Commissioner Tate said that he had no problem with helping fund the request, and asked the board to consider an appropriation of $5,000 to the society. The County Attorney pointed out the need for an agreement between the county and the society. Upon a motion by Commissioner Tate, seconded by Commissioner Beale, the board voted unanimously to appropriate $5,000 to the Scaly Mountain Historical Society, pending a signed agreement, with the funds to come from contingency. Minutes 08.13.13 Page 3 of 9

TRANSFER OF SURPLUS AMBULANCE: The County Attorney informed the board that because the county had not posted notice of intent to donate the 1983 Ford four-wheel-drive ambulance to the Southwestern Community College Public Safety Training Center, this item would have to be postponed until the September regular meeting. However, he said the board could declare the ambulance as surplus, and upon a motion by Commissioner Haven, seconded by Commissioner Tate, the board voted unanimously to declare the vehicle surplus. MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT WITH THE NORTH CAROLINA SEDIMENTATION CONTROL COMMISSION: County Planner Matt Mason explained that the proposed Memorandum of Agreement with the states Sedimentation Control Commission had been updated to reflect the local governments responsibilities.

TRANSIT FARES, COST SHARE RATES AND CONTRACT RATES: Macon Transit Director Kim Angel presented proposed new rate structures for the Franklin, Highlands and Nantahala areas. In a memo to the board, Mrs. Angel wrote, Based on previous years operating costs and projected current year operating costs, and the fact that we have not raised rates for passengers since 2010, it is necessary to increase fare and cost share rates for transit services. She noted that the anticipated effective date for the increases would be October 1. Commissioner Beale expressed concerns with the amount of some of the increases, for example, a round trip fare from the Nantahala area to Andrews/Murphy going from $5 to $15. Saying that this gives me a little heartburn, Commissioner Beale said the increases would negatively affect those who need the transportation the worst. Mrs. Angel explained that nearly all of those who utilize the service qualify for lower fares under one of the programs that Transit offers, adding that she needs to charge rates that will support the overall system. Upon a motion by Commissioner Higdon, seconded by Commissioner Haven, the board voted 4-1 to approve the Macon County Transit Fees/Cost Share Rates for the Franklin, Highlands and Nantahala areas, with Commissioner Beale opposing.

The regional plan was developed by the Southwestern Commission, and Mrs. Angel pointed out that each governing board is asked to approve only the portion applicable to their entity. Following discussion, and upon a motion by Commissioner Tate, seconded by Commissioner Beale, the board voted 5-0 to approve a Resolution Adopting an Updated Locally Coordinated Public Transportation and Human Services Plan for Macon County, North Carolina, a copy of which is attached (Attachment 5) and is hereby made a part of these minutes. RESOLUTION AND CONTRACT REGARDING CALL CENTER FOR VETERANS TRANSPORTATION: Mrs. Angel presented the board with a proposed resolution and contract concerning the Southwestern NC One Call One Click Center for Veterans Transportation. In a memo to the board, she highlighted a number of aspects of the project. She explained that this is a four-county initiative (Cherokee County, Clay County, Swain Public Transit and Macon County) with Macon acting as the lead agency. Eighty percent of the funding will come from the Federal Transit Administration and the remaining 20 percent from local funds, to be divided among the four counties. As part of the project, a central 800 number will be developed for use by veterans, veterans agencies and the general public, allowing an individual to call one number to access transportation systems in Region A for information and scheduling. A copy of Mrs. Angels memo is attached (Attachment 6) and is hereby made a part of these minutes. Upon a motion by Commissioner Higdon, seconded by Commissioner Beale, the board voted unanimously to approve a Resolution Authorizing Macon County to Enter into an Agreement with the North Carolina Department of Transportation (Attachment 7), a copy of which is attached and is hereby made a part of these minutes.

LEASE AGREEMENT WITH FLASH DOMAIN, LLC: Mr. Jenkins presented a proposed lease agreement for 3,800 square feet of space in the Small Business Center with Flash Domain, LLC, a small technology company that provides data storage and cloud applications.

He also pointed out that $21,770 would be left in the projects contingency line item. Upon a motion by Commissioner Beale, seconded by Commissioner Tate, the board voted unanimously to approve Change Order Number 1 on the Highlands School renovation as presented, and at the request of the Finance Director, to also approve Budget Amendment #20, which transfers $46,630 from contingency to construction for the change order.
