Per the review of Cramerton's fund balance, the chart below is an exercise to convey that the available amount over 40% can fluctuate depending on how capital project funding is classified, even though Cramerton's overall fund balance number does not change. *Current calculation: Fund balance is calculated with $500,000 in the FY 2021-2022 budget  Cramerton Fund Balance Exercise (June 30, 2021)  Total Fund balance General Fund LESS: Prepaid Items Stabilization by state statute Streets Powell Bill Public Safety Long-term note receivable Long-term demolition receivable  $4,237,503 $4,237,503 $63,582 $648,473 $64,350 $15,783 $400,000 $400,000 $16,573 $500,000  $63,582 $648,473 $64,350 $15,783 $16,573 $500,000  Appropriated fund balance in 2022 annual budget Ifappropriation transferred to capital project ordinance Working capital fund balance policy (40%) Remaining fund balance (over 40% restriction)  $2,440,760 $2,240,760  $87,982 $287,982 $200,000  difference  Fund Balance Chart Points: Event Space capital projects.  The row above highlighted in green shows the $500,000 appropriated fund balance in the current FY: 2021-2022 budget for the wayfinding sign and Downtown Stormwater/ Parking/ - The yellow: highlighted row is an alternative, hypothetical scenario where these capital projects would be put into their own, individual project ordinances. Notice that the only differing numbers are the final calculations of the available fund balance over 40%. This is due to the transfer for a capital project ordinance is not included in the computation for 40% reserve, compared to the (green) computation when the projects are in the annual budget. The reason these capital projects were included in the annual budget is because their completion is anticipated within this FY 21-22 fiscal year. Capital projects that span multiple fiscal years are usually placed in an individual, separate capital project ordinance.  1551 North Main St., Cramerton, North Carolina 28032.

The Town Manager stated factors to consider as part of this project include the Town plaza effect, stormwater and South Fork River Health, American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding which will allow for stormwater and related environmental based infrastructure projects; and increased parkingi in the downtown Centennial Center. Danny Watson with LaBella provided  Townd ofCramerton- - October 7,2021- Page 1  5    information about the use of permeable pavers which allows for stormwater infiltration which helps with flood mitigation and South Fork River Health as opposed to asphalt pavement. The life span of pavers is about 401 to 50 years where asphalt pavement lasts about 20 years. Mr. Watson stated that Phillip Bryson, property owner of the former Masonic Lodge, has chosen Talley and Smith as the architect. Discussion has been held with Mr. Bryson and his general contractor. and they are agreeable to possible use of pavers. Mr. Watson stated he would like to include pavers as aj potential option as part ofthe bid process. Discussion was held regarding the placement of the shade sails and other electrical components to this area. Bonnie Fisher stated that foundations willneed to be designed for the shade sails and this can be done at al later date as thisis poti included as part ofthis paving bid package. The shade sails willl bei included aspart ofthe sidewalk design. Mayor Cauthen stated a decision will need to bemadeasto the use of shade sails or some other type of system.

Ifthe decision is made after the sidewalkshavel been placed then thisy will require creating holes for the foundations. Mayor Cauthens statedthere could be shade sails installed or some other type of-structure with a green foof with plantings Commissioner Abernathy stated she was okay with either cofthese options but wanted to make sure we have a vision for lâter down. the road. Commissioner Atkinson said he would like to see an alternate costfor both: of these options. Commissioner Helms asked does the placement of shadesails lock the Town'sinto using pavers. Mr. Watson said no, The Town Manageradyised) he would start working with Gary Fankhauser regarding alternate bid options ofs shade sails or some other type of structure. Mr. Watson stated stamped concreté or pérvious pavers could be used in the area where shade sails will be placed. Mr. Watson was asked about substrate. He stated there would be several layers ofstone whichwould allow watert to filter through the stone toa perforated pipeas part ofthes stormyater structure prior to runoffi into the river. Commissioner Atkinson asked' about the cost of pavers and possible different size pavers depending on the: contractor. Mr. Watson stated the proposed estimate is for paving. Pavers are more éxpensive upfront but are cheaper on thel long run. Bonnie Fisher stated the bid process for asphalt and the pavers would be two separate proçèsses as the, specifications differ. Commissioner Atkinson asked about the substrate, that would be needed for the pavers. Mr. Watson said there would be 21 inches of stone placed under the pavers. Mayor Pro Tempore Koutsoupias asked about weight bearing such as heavy machinery. Mr. Watson stated these pavers are used in this region and there are several projects in Charlotte and Belmont where this product was installed and it's been proven to be a quality product. Commissioner Helms asked about the twenty-year analysis and the upfront cost is $68,000.00 more: for the pavers than asphalt pavement. Mr. Watson said pavement would need to be possibly repaved in eleven to twenty years whereas there would be no maintenance on the pavers during that same timeframe. The Board asked about possible American Rescue Plan funding being used fort this project. Attorney Wolter advised that the stormwater improvements should be covered. Commissioner Helms asked about the timing for clarification for this project and  'Town ofc Cramerton- - October 7,2021- Page 2  6    the ARPA funding. Attorney Wolter stated that there should be a much greater understanding ofthe ARPA1 funding before the bids come in. Mayor Cauthen stated there is a contact in Senator Thom Tillis's office who isa an ARPA expert who could help us. Commissioner Helms asked how much of the project could possibly be paid for with ARPA funds. The Town Manager said the Town would pay one hundred percent for the pavers but he feels that the ARPA funding could be around eighty percentile of some of the overall general line items. Mayor Pro Tempore Koutsoupias asked how soon could this project begin and a possible feasible timeline. Mr. Watson stated the project would start with the bid process and after ac decision has been made then there is an approximate three-month window for construction. Bonnie Fisher stated due to the holidays, the ad would be published in. January with construction possibly beginning in March. Commissioner Helms asked about the partnership with Mr. Bryson about the use of asphalt paving VS. permeable pavers and how this affects future construction and a collective timeline.

Mr. Watson's stated.t temporary stone can be placed during the construction and staging process fortheTestaurant. If àny pavers are damaged during the construction at the former Masonic-Lodge, then those pavers can be removed and replaced. The substrate càn be temporary stone and then the pavers can be sequençed in. Commissioner, Atkinson askedifthe payers were available in various colors. Mr. Wâtsony said yes.

Mayor Cauthen stated he had seen ai more permanent. type structure in Roanoke Virginia that he really liked. Bonnie Fisher said the shade sails would require a separate subcontractor to be involved either now or later down the road. Danny Watson said poles would need to bei installed for whatever type ofs shade structure is chosen. A bid alternate will need to bé added. The Board agreed they did not want to delay the bid process.  Consent Agenda: a. Minutes  . August 19, 2021 meeting minutes. ii. September 2, 2021 meeting minutes.

Background Information  The Town of Cramerton offers its citizens premium Public Works services that include the collection of yard waste, bulk item collection, street maintenance, sign maintenance, overseeing contracted household garbage and recycling collection, stormwater infrastructure maintenance, and other seasonal jobs such as leaf collection, installing banners, flags, tree planting/ maintenance, and preparing for special events. Implementation of street resurfacing and repair is also a significant service. This upkeep increases the life of streets and saves the Town money. Public Works is significant in maintaining Cramerton's 15.91 miles of streets and 5.6 miles of sidewalks. These numbers will only continue to grow as more development occurs and Cramerton accepts streets into its road system. Part of the road system upkeep is maintaining and cleaning the stormwater infrastructure, which includes curb, gutter and stormwater collection boxes. These tasks performed by Public Works are paramount in reducing flooding when heavy rain occurs by keeping debris (leaves) out of the stormwater system. Currently, many of these tasks are performed via manual The purchase of a Street Sweeper vehicle will make these significant stormwater tasks more time-efficient through automation. Furthermore, with Cramerton's road and stormwater system growing, a Street Sweeper will drastically help minimize the burden of additional road and stormwater infrastructure management on Public Works crews. Depending on the stormwater task, the inclusion of a Street Sweeper can be viewed as  labor by Public Works crews.  the equivalent of adding 1-2 Public Works crew members.  Perspectivel Recommendations  Staff is recommending the Cramerton BOC authorize expenditures of ARPA funding up to $300,000 for the purchase of a new Street Sweeper vehicle for Public Works. Per the UNC School of Government, stormwater eligible expenses under ARPA come from the EPA's Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) Eligibilities. The chart from the CWSRF is on page 2 of this memo. A final note, if the Downtown Stormwater and Parking Project is the highest ranking item for Cramerton ARPA expenditures, the purchasing of a Street Sweeper is the second highest due to the significant assistance it will provide Public Works. Cramerton's ARPA amount is $1.4 million.  1551 North Main St., Cramerton, North Carolina 28032  Phone: 704-824-4337  Fax: 704-824-8943  12    EPA's Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) Eligibilities Chart  Stormwater  Eligible stormwater projects include gray and green infrastructure.

For comparison purposes, the current draft of the downtown project is included in this agenda. Also for a picture of the wood structures used at the Roanoke, VA Farmer's Market (shown comparison below). is Shade sails are included in the design and engineering of the current Downtown Stormwater/ Event Space project. So, the shade sails element would be bid - The cost for three clusters of three shade sails (as displayed in the current  Shade Sail Breakdown  Parking/ immediately would plan) be  and included ini the current project draft timeline. Permanent Covering (i.e. wood) Structure Breakdown  between $150,000-5160,000.  The current, draft plans for this project do not incorporate a permanent covering structure (similar to the picture below); and therefore, would need to be included during a second phase at a later date. This is in part due to accommodating these more permanent structures on the incline that exists on the Town Green area. Also, the current concrete sidewalk design would have to be reconfigured for a permanent wood structure and its support system, especially due to having to place footings within the hilll incline. - The cost for three separate permanent wood covered structures to replace the three shade sail clusters would be approximately $300,000. To cover the entire sidewalk area would take five shade structures and cost approximately $500,000. These costs have  researched by the project's landscape architect Gary Fankhauser.  been  9  1551 North Main St., Cramerton, North Carolina 28032  Phone: 704-824-4337  Fax: 704-824-8943  58    Recommendations/ Perspective  Staff's preference on the shade structure is to stay with using the clusters of shade sails. These are preferable from a functionality and programmable standpoint as Recreation and Event staff are able to have more flexibility underneath the shade sail structures. From an engineering standpoint, the shade sails are easier to incorporate into the current project  plan along with being overall more cost effective.  DRAFTTimeline (Town Stormwater/ Parking!
