CARDINAL INNOVATIONS GRANT:
Assistant County Manager, Sybil Tate presented a request from the County EMS
Department to submit a grant application to Cardinal Innovations in response to their RFP
in the amount of $3.8M to fund mental health programs in the counties that its serves.
Ms. Tate noted that EMS was interested in piloting a mental health community
paramedic program. A community paramedic program is a preventative health program
that reduces the need for patients to call 911 and return to the hospital. For example, after
a mental health patient is discharged from the hospital, the community paramedic will
follow-up with phone and house visits to help patients take their medication, connect them
to resources, and even take them to medical appointments, if necessary. Reducing call
volume and hospital visits saves resources at 911, EMS, and the hospital.
Ms. Tate said Person County would be requesting ~$170K from Cardinal for a one-
year pilot of a mental health community paramedic program. Funds will pay for a vehicle,
medical equipment, and a current staff person. Below are some of the statistics that will be
gathered to determine the effectiveness and efficiency of this program:
Performance Measures
# of individuals served by mental health community paramedic
% decrease of mental health related 911 calls
% decrease of repeat mental health callers to 911
% decrease of mental health related EMS calls ($492.76/EMS call)
% decrease of mental health related EMS transports ($692.79/EMS transport)
% decrease of repeat mental health callers to EMS
% decrease in mental health patients readmitted (within 30 days) to hospital who
participate in the program
% of participants stating that overall health has improved due to program
# of referrals to DSS
# of referrals to Freedom House
# of community outreach presentations
Total $ saved during pilot year
Net cost/savings of program to the hospital
Net cost/savings of program to the county
Ms. Tate noted that in the event that this program saves county tax dollars, staff
would request funding for the position in the FY2020 budget; however if the program does
not save the county money, no request will be made.
Ms. Tate said EMS Operations Manager, Greg White and Glen LaBar, Jr., EMS
Compliance Officer were available to answer any questions from the Board.

Mr. White stated in FY2017 there were 245 mental health related calls while as of
March of this year there have been 137; it was not known the ratio of city versus county
calls. Mr. White stated for each call, it could take between fourteen (14) hours to fourteen
(14) days to assess, evaluate, treat and get a patient into the appropriate service. He added
that the hope was to alleviate the strain on the mobile crisis unit as well.
Mr. LaBar stated the main focus was to assess the patient to get them into the right
facility noting many mental health patients also have emergency medical conditions which
was the first point to address. Mr. LaBar said they did not have any estimate for a projected
costs savings noting Person County would be one of the first to start a mental health
community paramedic program. With a low bed capacity for mental health emergency
patients at Person Memorial and Duke Hospital, Mr. LaBar noted any savings would be
realized by the hospital bed availability, by Freedom House, law enforcement hours as well
as EMS collectively.
Commissioner Jeffers asked if there were any other counties that had similar
programs to which Mr. LaBar stated Wake, Rutherford and McDowell counties all have a
similar position noting each program varied in scope.
Mr. LaBar addressed the position to be a trained paramedic to assess medical and
mental health needs through crisis intervention and peer support specialist training.
Chairman Kendrick asked if the safe room at the local hospital was necessary to
which Mr. LaBar stated the safe room was needed for specific patients acknowledging the
County’s funding appropriation toward the safe room was a one-time cost.
Vice Chairman Powell, and a representative on the Cardinal Innovations board of
directors stated the $3.7M was earmarked to be returned to the state but the Cardinal board
requested the unspent funding to be available to the counties it served. He advocated for
the County EMS to apply for the grant funding for the mental health community paramedic
program.
A motion was made by Commissioner Clayton and carried 5-0 to approve
submission of a grant application to Cardinal Innovations for a mental health community
paramedic program, as presented.

report information related to certain federal expenditures that counties are not required to

AGENDA ABSTRACT
Meeting Date: May 21, 2018
Agenda Title: Consideration of Resolution of Intent to Authorize a Request for Proposals to explore the
Feasibility of a Sale of the Person County Home Health and Hospice Agency
Summary of Information: At the Board’s January 22, 2018 meeting, the Board of Commissioners
authorized a contract with CliftonLarsonAllen to assist the County with the process of preparing a request
for non-binding proposals to consider divesting the home health and hospice services. At the Board’s April
9th meeting a public hearing was conducted and this Resolution was presented. A majority of Board
members wanted the opportunity to talk with health department staff to gain a better understanding of the
situation in home health and hospice before the adoption of the Resolution, so it was tabled.
As required by General Statute 131E-13, the County must adopt a Resolution of Intent and conduct a public
hearing before it can request proposals for purchase. Once proposals are received the Board must conduct
another public hearing. The Board will have the opportunity to consider all proposals and negotiate with
any potential buyers. During the negotiations process, terms such as employee transitions, and purchase
price, etc. can be discussed. By state regulations, the office of the buyer must remain within the geographic
limits of Person County. A decision to sell is not made until the negotiations are finalized and both parties
mutually agree to an Asset Purchase Agreement. The consultants estimate that the process of selling the
two services takes about six months.
Counties across the State are facing the same struggles as Person County as it is becoming increasingly
difficult to compete with private sector providers of these services. New federal Home Health Conditions
of Participation are very onerous and costly, and, payment rates continue decline and not keep pace with
providers’ inflationary expenses inflation. The CliftonLarsonAllen firm has brokered the sale of 23
county/regional health departments; only 11 county-owned home health and hospice (HHH) services exist
today. The average sale price for both services is about $2M.
Both home health and hospice have private sector providers serving patients in Person County. Please see
the attached documents which list the other providers and the market positions of each.
There are currently 7 filled full-time positions in Home Health and Hospice. Most other counties have
negotiated a transition plan for their employees with the private sector buyers.
The Board of Health met and discussed the options on Nov. 27 and again on Jan. 11. Their recommendation
was to sell Home Health, but retain Hospice. They expressed concern over serving indigent patients,
although the data shows that in FY16 the county served 3 indigent patients in home health; 0 in hospice. In
FY17 the county served 1 patient in home health; 0 in hospice. The Board of Health and staff believe that
with additional investments in Hospice to provide for better marketing and enhanced technology, they might
be able to increase revenues and make the program more viable.
Recommended Action: Adopt the required Resolution and proceed with the process of developing a
Request for Proposals
Submitted By: Heidi York, County Manager

protection services in addition to other stated responsibilities. The contracts for the current FY17-18
were for a one year term. In previous years, the contracts spanned two fiscal years. This proposed
contract is for a two year period from July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2020. Due to the proposed increase in
funding for the VFDs with the creation of the fire tax, Commissioners have requested some revisions
to the current contract.
Summary of Information:
The proposed and attached contract shows the changes in red font to facilitate discussion of the
Board. The major changes include:
Deletion of reference to capital funding program
Additional requirement: Documented progress towards improving the ISO rating during the
two year contract period, with a written plan submitted by 12/31/18 to the Emergency
Services Director as to how and when, setting a target date, the department will achieve a
reduction in their ISO rating.
Additional requirement: Department must hold a minimum of two community-based
fundraisers per fiscal year.
Additional requirement: Department agrees to be a Point of Distribution site for the county
during emergencies/disasters
Changes the responsibility for paying for the audit to the individual VFDs
Proposes the funds to be disbursed in the same amount as the current FY17-18 per district
amount (operating and capital) and made available once the returned copy of the contract
with signatures and all requirements of Section III are satisfied. The remaining amount of
funds will be disbursed monthly beginning in March up to the total aggregate amount to all
departments of $1M overall.
Recommended Action: Discuss the proposed contract and direct the County Manager to make any
changes desired by the Board in preparation for the County Emergency Services Director to meet
with the VFDs.

Re: Options for Person County regarding the landfill in the county
Question presented: What are the future options for Republic and Person County if:
1-The County takes no action at all:
Republic would secure an extension of its state permit to a life of site or 60 years
from the original 1997 first receipt of waste which would be 2057. This would enable
Republic to continue to receive waste and operate the facility without paying anything
to the County. The permit would contain the same conditions as the existing permit
daily tonnage, area, etc) The County would receive no compensation
2-Republic secures the extension of its permit to a life of site permit and the
county enacts a new franchise and enters into a new contract to match the new
permit:
The county would be entitled to receive the same compensation as in the existing
contract. The county’s new franchise would not be subject to the procedural
requirements of a public hearing, etc. It is possible that the County could negotiate
some changes in the franchise fee and contract provisions. Additionally, it would be
possible to increase the allowed daily tonnage amount not to exceed 110% of the
original amount.
3-Republic and the County negotiate a new agreement:
Republic and the County could negotiate a new agreement allowing a larger amount
of daily tonnage, different rates and franchise fees. This would require a new state
permit for Republic with the consequent procedural requirements of studies of
environmental impact, etc and public hearings. The County would have to enact a
new franchise. This approach would likely require at least a one year extension as in 2
above in order to allow the necessary time to comply with the more extensive
procedural requirements.
FACTS AND ANALYSIS
Person County has an existing contract with Republic Services for operation of a
landfill in Person County and a franchise issued to Republic for such operation which
expired on June 30, 2017. The contract provides that after scheduled expiration the
contract may be extended for 10 additional years at the option of the County. The County
has elected to extend the contract for the first of those 10 years (expiration June 30, 2018)
and has issued a franchise for that one year period plus one additional year (franchise
expires on June 30, 2019). Among other provisions the contract provides for a fee to be
paid to Person County based upon usage which yields Person County in excess of
$500,000 per year. It also provides that Person County will use its “best efforts” to assure
that waste from Person County will be disposed of in the Republic facility. It further
39
provides that waste will not be accepted from certain jurisdictions (Raleigh and Durham)
and will not be accepted from areas 60 miles or more from the landfill.
Republic has made application to the state for an extension of its existing permit to a “life
of site” permit. The application is not for a new permit. That application has not yet been
acted upon.
The 2015 General assembly has enacted two provisions which impact the county
options. For convenience in identification I will designate those provisions as “flow
control” and “life of site” provisions.
FLOW CONTROL PROVISION
The new law prohibits a county from requiring that all waste in a county go to a specific
site (flow control) except in very limited circumstances. For Person County that limited
circumstance means for the period of its existing franchise (until June 30, 2019). It is
likely then that if the County grants additional franchises to effectuate the remaining
years (8) of the original contract extension that it may not be able to direct that all waste
go to the Republic site.
An additional likely effect of the new law is to limit the ability of the County to restrict
the receipt of waste from areas 60+ miles away, since to do so would limit the flow of
waste. This effect is not as clear as the prohibition on the direction of waste from within
the County, but is likely to be the effect of the law.
The pertinent legislation is set out below:
(Please note that the legislation still establishes a policy that a solid waste facility should
serve a specific geographic area, but prohibits a county from requiring that service.)
“130A-294(b) In furtherance of this purpose and intent, it is hereby
determined and declared that it is necessary for the health and welfare of the
inhabitants of the State that solid waste management facilities permitted
hereunder and serving a specified geographic area shall be used by public or
private owners or occupants of all lands, buildings, and premises within the
geographic area, and a unit of local government may, by ordinance, require
that all solid waste generated within the geographic area and placed in the
waste stream for disposal, shall be delivered to the permitted solid waste
management facility or facilities serving the geographic area. Actions taken
pursuant to this Article shall be deemed to be acts of the sovereign power of
the State of North Carolina, and to the extent reasonably necessary to achieve
the purposes of this section, a unit of local government may displace
competition with public service for solid waste management and disposal. It is
further determined and declared that no person, firm, corporation, association
or entity within the geographic area shall engage in any activities which would
be competitive with this purpose or with ordinances, rules adopted pursuant to
the authority granted herein.
(c) Except as provided in subsections (d) }REGIONAL SOLID WASTE
FACILITIES}) and (e)[CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION MATERIALS
40
MAY NOT BE DIRECTED] of this section, a unit of local government may, by
ordinance, franchise, business license, contract, or otherwise, require that all
solid waste generated within the geographic area and placed in the waste
stream for disposal be delivered to the permitted solid waste management
facility or facilities serving the geographic area only under one of the following
conditions:
(1) If the unit of local government has debt associated with solid waste management
facilities and equipment outstanding on September 1, 2017, the unit of local government
may adopt and enforce such an ordinance until the date that such debt has matured.
(3) If the unit of local government is a party to an exclusive franchise agreement with a
private entity governing the management or disposal of waste within the jurisdiction in
effect on September 1, 2017, the unit of local government may adopt and enforce such an
ordinance until the date that such franchise has expired”
LIFE OF SITE PROVISION
The new law provides that all new permits for solid waste facilities be issued by the state
for life of the site not to exceed 60 years. Life of site is defined to be from inception of
the permit until the facility reaches its permitted height. The legislation explicitly
provides that a life of site permit survives the expiration of its underlying franchise. But a
county may extend the old franchise under the same terms and conditions until the
expiration of the life of site permit. A franchise extended to match the life of
site permit period is not required to be enacted with a public hearing, deposit of
materials, at the public library, etc.
The applicable law is set out below:
"§ 130A-294. Solid waste management program.
…
(a2) Permits for sanitary landfills and transfer stations shall be issued for the
life-of-site of the facility unless revoked as otherwise provided under this Article or upon
the expiration of any local government franchise required for the facility pursuant to
subsection (b1) of this section. revoked. For purposes of this section, "life-of- site" means
the period from the initial receipt of solid waste at the facility until the Department
approves final closure of the facility. the facility reaches its final permitted elevations,
which period shall not exceed 60 years. Permits issued pursuant to this subsection shall
take into account the duration of any permits previously issued for the facility and the
remaining capacity at the facility.
(a3) In order to preserve long - term disposal capacity, a life - of - site permit issued for
a sanitary landfill shall survive the expiration of a local government approval or
franchise. In order to preserve any economic benefits included in the franchise, the
County may extend the franchise under the same terms and conditions for the term of the
life - of - site permit. The extension of the franchise hereby shall not trigger the
requirements for a new permit, a major permit modification, or a substantial amendment
to the permit.”
