REGIONAL POLICY FOR NORTH CAROLINA

In 1970, this State delineated boundaries for multi-county planning and development regions and in 1971 a Lead Regional Organization was designated for each region to establish goals and objectives, and serve as the regional agent in dealing with state and federal agencies. Thereafter, state agencies were instructed to utilize the Lead Regional Organization for planning, implementing, and coordinating programs which impact local governments. The concepts of multi-county planning regions and the Lead Regional Organization policy have been very effective in fostering intergovernmental coordination and cooperation and this Administration is committed to close cooperation with local governments and their agencies. Therefore, by the authority vested in me as Governor by the Constitution and laws of North Carolina, it is ORDERED:

Section 1. ORGANIZATION(a) A single Lead Regional Organization shall continue to exist in each of the eighteen

multi-county planning development regions or such larger or smaller number of regions as may be hereinafter delineated by the Department of Administration.

Section 2. FUNCTIONS(a) Lead Regional Organizations, whether Councils of Governments or Economic

Development Districts shall have the same powers and duties specified for Councils of Governments in the General Statutes of North Carolina.

Section 3. ADMINISTRATION

(a) In dividing the State for administrative and/or service delivery purposes, State agencies shall make subdivisions coterminous with the Lead Regional Organization boundary lines, or with combinations of such, unless it can be demonstrated that strict conformance would result in inefficiencies, or that the proposed subdivision bears no relationship to regional plans or activities.

(b) State agencies desiring to eliminate, re-direct, or begin programs which impact local governments through Lead Regional Organizations are hereby directed to submit any proposed change or modification to the Local Government Advocacy Council for an advisory opinion prior to taking action. New programs involving service delivery through the Lead Regional Organizations must have the approval of local governments affected.

(c) State financial support to Lead Regional Organizations should be limited to grants to carry our specific tasks which are imposed by State government, or tasks which involve a coordinated state-wide activity which will be beneficial to both State and local governments. State funds, if provided, shall not be utilized for general administrative support, nor shall they be utilized to supplant local funds.

(d) The determination of personnel procedures for Lead Regional Organizations shall be left to the discretion of local governments, and no State agency shall impose its personnel procedures on the Lead Regional Organizations. Nothing in this section shall preclude the establishment of reasonable minimum education and experience standards for positions funded by a State agency, provided that such standards shall be no more stringent than those in use by State or Federal agencies for comparable positions. The Lead Regional Organizations shall have complete autonomy in filling such positions from among applicants meeting those reasonable minimum standards.

Section 4. MODIFICATION OF REGIONAL BOUNDARIES(a) The Secretary of the Department of Administration is hereby charged with revising

and implementing, if necessary, the existing guidelines dealing with the changing of regional boundary lines, in accordance with the following:

In response to this damage, and the threat of greater harm as a result of the loss of crops, and with the gracious assistance of several other states in the Union, I have developed "Operation Hay" to provide assistance to the farmers and livestock in our state.

These departments shall take care that this food and assistance is fairly distributed to the state's cattle and dairy farms.

SECTION 2: COOPERATING AGENCIESThe Departments of Crime Control and Public Safety, Transportation, Correction, Natural Resources

and Community Development, and the Governor's Communication Office are hereby instructed to provide assistance, as directed, to the Coordinating Agencies.

NORTH CAROLINA COMMISSION ON THE SUPERCONDUCTING SUPER COLLIDER

North Carolina's proposal to be the site of the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) presents an enormous opportunity for the state to solidify its position as a world center of high technology research and development. If North Carolina is chosen as the site of the SSC, the benefits to the state and its people will be substantial.

The SSC is a unique public project in many respects. It is the largest scientific instrument in the world and is designed for pure research. If North Carolina is chosen as the SSC site, the state will acquire the land needed for the SSC, then release the land to the federal government. This plan necessarily will involve the local governments in the SSC area.

GOVERNOR'S TASK FORCE ON RAIL PASSENGER SERVICE

North Carolina and the nation were built on and along railroads. In particular, our urban Piedmont has been shaped in large part by the General Assembly's investment in the North Carolina Railroad over 130 years ago. Many of those Piedmont cities are now leading North Carolina's dramatic population and economic growth.

With that growth comes an ever-increasing need for intercity, regional, and urban transportation. Some of our intercity traffic today moves via Amtrak along existing railroad routes through North Carolina. In the future, even greater reliance may need to be placed on rail passenger opportunities.

Today, Amtrak is considering changing its intercity routes serving North Carolina. At the same time, the private freight railroads continue to react to economic forces by abandoning service and routes. These decisions, made outside North Carolina, not only affect today's transportation patterns, but could well limit our transportation choices for the future. Passenger trains move on some of these routes today, and may well need to move on others in the future. Possibly, other forms of passenger transportation could also use those corridors.

As the North Carolina Railroad and the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad prepare to renegotiate their right-of-way leases between Charlotte, Greensboro, Raleigh and Morehead City, consideration should be given to preservation of future options for inter-urban transit by a carrier able to offer affordable, reliable rail passenger service.

This corridor, as well as other rail corridors in and across the state, may well hold opportunities for North Carolina's future mobility. Every effort should be given to exploration of short -term as well as longer-term opportunities for rail passenger service along these corridors in North Carolina.


Section 1. ESTABLISHMENTThe Governor's Task Force on Rail Passenger Service is hereby established. The Task Force shall

consist of at least ten and not more than fifteen members appointed by the Governor to serve at the pleasure of the Governor. All vacancies shall be filled by the Governor. The Governor shall designate one of its members as Chairman and one as Vice-Chairman. The Secretary of Transportation or his designee shall serve as an ex-officio member and shall not be included in the fifteen members to be appointed by the Governor.

Section 2. FUNCTIONS(1) The Task Force shall meet regularly at the call of the Chairman or the Governor. The Task Force is

authorized to conduct public hearings for the purpose of receiving the comments and suggestions of citizens throughout the State.

(2) The duties of the Task Force shall be to conduct a study of the present, near term, and future needs for rail transit service connecting major cities of North Carolina, with emphasis on the potential for providing affordable service.

Section 3. ADMINISTRATION(a) The Director of Public Transportation of the Department of Transportation shall provide staff

support to the Task Force. The Secretary of Transportation may designate such other personnel from his staff as he deems appropriate and necessary to furnish guidance and assistance to the Task Force.

(b) The Department of Transportation is authorized, subject to the availability of funds, to retain consulting service(s) or employ other professional(s) if it determines that such service(s) or professional(s) would offer a cost-efficient method of gathering and analyzing information. Funds for the retention and

payment of such service(s) or professional(s) shall be made available from funds authorized for the Division of Public Transportation.

(c) Members of the Task Force may be reimbursed for necessary travel and subsistence expenses as authorized by N.C.G.S. 138-5. Funds for reimbursement for such expenses shall be made available from funds authorized for the Division of Public Transportation.

EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 75CONCERNING THE RESPONSIBILITIES

OF THE MEMBERS AND PERSONNELOF THE NORTH CAROLINA WILDLIFE RESOURCES COMMISSION

Questions have arisen as to whether and to what extent members of the North Carolina Wildlife Commission are charged with responsibility for Commission personnel decisions.

This Executive Order is published to put an end to the questions and to establish the perimeters within which Commission members and Commission personnel are to work in carrying out their respective responsibilities.

I

In response to my inquiry, the Attorney General has opined:

“We believe that the Executive Director has the authority to employ persons to fill positions on the Commission's staff without obtaining either the prior or subsequent approval of the Commission. The duties of the Executive Director are set out in G.S. §143-246 as follows:

‘The Executive Director shall be charged with the supervision of all activities under the jurisdiction of the Commission and shall serve as the chief administrative officer of the said Commission. Subject to the approval of the Commission and the Director of the Budget, he is hereby authorized to employ such clerical and other assistants as may be deemed necessary.’

"We construe the language of the second sentence quoted above to authorize the Director to employ persons to fill such positions as have been approved by the Commission and the Director of the Budget as necessary to carry out the programs of the Commission."

“. . . The view that we have taken is most strongly supported . . . by the language of G.S. §143 -243. That statute, in pertinent part, outlines specific responsibilities which the Commission is to fulfill in carrying out the functions and duties set forth in G.S. §143-239. The role of the Commission is to act in the broad area of policy and procedure in carrying out its program responsibilities, including the responsibility for ‘organizing the personnel of the Commission.’

“. . . Thus, the General Assembly has directed the Commission to establish and structure the staff which is to carry out the Commission's programs, policies, and procedures under the supervision of the Executive Director. In establishing and structuring its staff, the Commission must determine what types of positions are necessary for the task. The requirement of G.S. §143-243 is totally consistent, therefore, with our construction of the disputed language of G.S. §143-246.”

II

Based upon the foregoing opinion and to carry out my constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, it is hereby ORDERED:

1. As stated in N.C.G.S. §143-239, the function, purpose and duty of the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission is to manage, restore, develop, cultivate, conserve, protect and regulate the wildlife resources of the State of North Carolina and to administer the laws relating to game, game and fresh water fishes and other wildlife resources enacted by the General Assembly, to the end that there may be provided a sound, constructive, comprehensive, continuing and economical game, game fish and wildlife program directed by qualified, competent and representative citizens who shall have knowledge of or training in the protection, restoration, proper use and management of wildlife resources. These functions, purposes and duties shall be the guideline against which the appropriateness of all Commission actions are to be measured.

2. As provided in N.C.G.S. §143-243 and N.C.G.S. §143-246, the Commission members responsibilities are to:(a) Select and appoint an Executive Director and, if after appointing him the Executive Director ceases

to please the Commission, to remove him from office.(b) Organize the personnel of the Commission.(c) Set the statewide policy of the Commission.(d) Budget and plan the use of the Wildlife and Motorboat Funds, subject to the approval of the General

Assembly and the Director of the Budget.(e) When deemed appropriate hold public hearings where there is discussed matters of public concern

regarding the wildlife resources of the State of North Carolina.(f) Adopt rules as authorized by law.(g) Recommend the budgetary and legislative needs of the Commission to the Governor through the

Secretary of the Department of Natural Resources and Community Development.(h) Make such reports to the Governor as are required by him or by law through the Secretary of the

Department of Natural Resources and Community Development.(i) Do all such other things as are required by law.

While under N.C.G.S. §143-240, nine of the thirteen members of the Commission are appointed from the geographical districts described in N.C.G.S. §143-240 and the other four members are appointed at large, all thirteen members of the Commission serve the State as a whole and without regard to the districts from which they may have been appointed. To the end that there may be uniformity of participation by each Commission member within each district, Commission members shall refrain from interfering with or otherwise being involved in the administration of the affairs of the Commission within the districts from

which they are appointed or any other district. Commission members shall restrict their official activities regarding the administration of the affairs of the Commission to such matters as are brought before them through or by the Chairman while they sit as a body, or as brought before them through or by a committee or subcommittee chairman while sitting as a committee or subcommittee. If there are matters that any one or more members of the Commission feel are being inappropriately handled by the Chairman, those matters should be directed to the attention of the Governor through the Secretary of the Department of Natural Resources and Community Development.

3. As provided in and subject to the provisions of N.C.G.S. §143-243, the Chairman of the Commission shall guide and coordinate the official actions and official activities of the Commission in fulfilling its function, purpose and duty. In that connection and subject to the provisions of N.C.G.S. §143-243, the Chairman shall:(a) Organize the Commission into such committees and subcommittees as are appropriate and appoint

the chairman, vice-chairman and members thereof.(b) Call, set the agenda for and preside at all regular and special meetings of the Commission.(c) Act as the liaison between the Commission and the Executive Director of the Commission.(d) Meet with and/or make reports to the Secretary of the Department of Natural Resources and

Community Development and the Governor when and as requested by them.(e) Do all such other things as are required by law.

The Vice-chairman shall act in the absence of the Chairman.4. As provided in N.C.G.S. §143-246, the Executive Director selected and appointed by the

Commission shall be the chief administrative officer of the Commission. He shall:(a) Without interference by the Chairman or other member of the Commission, select, appoint, promote,

demote, transfer, remove and pass upon the grievances of such persons as he deems appropriate to fill the several positions approved by the Commission to carry out the Commission's function, purposes and duties.

(b) Direct and supervise the activities of the persons selected and appointed by him to fill such positions.(c) Act as the liaison between Commission personnel and the Chairman of the Commission.(d) Except when excused by the Commission, attend all Commission meetings and speak to the same as

called upon by the Chairman.(e) Make such reports to the Commission and the Chairman when, as often and in such detail as the

Commission and Chairman shall require.(f) Act as the official spokesperson for the Commission.(g) Do all such other things as are required by law or as are appropriate to carry out the Commission's

function, purpose and duty.

III

1. Copies of this Executive Order shall be distributed as provided by law. In addition copies shall be furnished to the Chairman and members of the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, the Executive Director of the Commission, all Commission personnel, all persons deemed by the Executive Director to have an interest in Commission affairs and members of the public who request the same.

2. If any members of the Commission or the Executive Director of the Commission, now or hereafter feel that they cannot wholly support and carry out the letter and spirit of this Executive Order, it would be appropriate for them to resign from their positions.

3. Violation of this Executive Order shall be justification for the removal of the Executive Director or any person serving as Commission personnel under the Executive Director.

MINIMIZATION OF SOLID, HAZARDOUS, AND INFECTIOUS WASTEAND THE CONTROL OF TOXIC AIR POLLUTANTS

The waste disposal problem in North Carolina is enormous. All types of disposal practices -- from incineration to wastewater discharge to landfilling -- are adversely impacted by the sheer volumes of waste which are becoming greater per person each year.

Clearly, North Carolina must have adequate waste treatment and disposal capacity. Such facilities must be properly located and designed, well operated, and extensively monitored to ensure that public health and the environment are protected, including limitations on toxic air pollutant emissions. But along with additional waste treatment and disposal capacity comes an equal if not greater need to reduce the amount of wastes generated in the first place.

First and foremost in any long-term solution to the waste problem is an emphasis on waste stream reduction. No law, regulation, or program aimed at the environmentally safe disposal of wastes of any sort will ultimately be successful if it does not include as its fundamental basis a vigorous and sustained conservation effort, including incentives, education, market development, and source reduction techniques such as recycling, recovery, and reuse. Simply disposing of wastes is no longer appropriate. Instead, wastes must be managed with emphasis on conservation. Conservation must be the first thought and continuing basis of all environmental and public health protection programs.

ACCORDINGLY,

WHEREAS, the quality of the environment in North Carolina is a key element in the continued growth and progress of the State; and

WHEREAS, the State of North Carolina produces more waste than it has capacity to treat or destroy; and

WHEREAS, as economic and population growth continue, the environment is relied upon more heavily each year to accept wastes which accompany such growth; and

WHEREAS, it is essential that the State have adequate waste treatment and disposal facilities; and

WHEREAS, incineration may play an integral role in an environmentally sound waste management system; and

WHEREAS, effective control of toxic air pollutants is an essential and key element to ensure adequate protection for human health and the environment; and

WHEREAS, as the most desirable waste management strategy to be undertaken, North Carolina has stated its commitment to prevention, minimization, and recycling of wastes before they impact the State's environment and is committed to reduce its dependence on landfills as a means of solid waste disposal by the year 2006;

NOW THEREFORE, By the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of North Carolina, and consistent with statutory authorizations and powers it is ORDERED:

That the State shall expand its commitment to preventing, minimizing, and recycling of wastes by incorporating waste reduction in all decisions by pollution control authorities in the following manner:

SECTION 1. (a) As a condition for the issuance thereof, applicants for permits, permit modifications and permit

renewals for the discharge of wastewater or incinerator emissions attendant to the treatment and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes, shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Secretary of the Department of National Resources and Community Development, or his designee, that, to the extent reasonably technologically and economically achievable, (i) the applicant has undertaken source reduction and recycling techniques and methods to reduce the volume, pollutant level and/or toxicity of the same and (ii) the wastewater discharge and incinerator emission levels sought in the applications are the lowest achievable after waste reduction; and

(b) The State shall exercise its authority to obtain, review and certify information from each facility that generates, treats, stores, recycles or disposes of hazardous waste to ensure that is has a Waste Minimization Program in affect as required under Sections 3002(b) and 3005 (H) of the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984; and

SECTION 2. Consistent with its statutory authorities and powers, the Environmental Management Commission

shall expedite the development and promulgation of rules sufficient to control the emissions of toxic air pollutants from waste incinerators and utilize its existing statutory authority to ensure that any such permits issued after the effective date of this Order provide adequate control of toxic air emissions.

SECTION 3. Further, consistent with its statutory authorities and powers, the Environmental Management

Commission shall expedite the development and promulgation of ambient air standards for toxic pollutants.

SECTION 4. All Executive Orders or portions of Executive Orders inconsistent herewith are hereby rescinded.

Done in Raleigh, North Carolina this 1st day of March, 1989.

GOVERNOR'S ADVISORY COUNCIL ON LITERACY

North Carolina's economy is changing in fundamental ways. Employment in agriculture and low-skill manufacturing is declining. This decline is offset by new jobs in other industries which require different, higher-level skills.

ESTABLISHING THE WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA ENVIRONMENTAL COUNCIL

The counties of Western North Carolina are among the most environmentally and economically important areas of the State.

EXECUTIVE ORDER NUMBER 107NORTH CAROLINA GOVERNOR'S COMMISSION ON WORKFORCE PREPAREDNESS

North Carolina has enjoyed the status of being the first in economic development in the nation for three consecutive years. In large part, this is due to the availability of a highly motivated, competent workforce which is devoted to the work ethic.

However, global economic and technological forces are creating a new knowledge-intensive economy that requires a highly-adaptable and better-educated worker. The new workplace demands workers with good basic academic skills, problem-solving skills, communication skills, and leadership skills. Most importantly, employers need workers who know how to learn and can readily adapt to a changing work environment. Yet, many North Carolinians are not prepared for the new skill requirements of the workplace.

Too many problems persist among our human resources that suggest a growing gap between the skills employers need and the skills both new and experienced workers bring to the labor market. These problems include an unacceptable number of high school dropouts, high school graduates who show serious skill deficiencies, and adults who are unemployed, underemployed or face dislocation in the future because of illiteracy or inadequate basic skills.

Further, projections indicate that future demographic shifts will create both opportunities and problems regarding workforce preparedness. A shrinking pool of new workers provides us a window of opportunity to lift out of poverty those segments of our population who historically have been stalled on the lower rung of our economic ladder. However, this same population that we will depend upon to relieve the growing labor shortage faces formidable barriers to employment because they are the least skilled of our citizens.

The education and skill level of North Carolina's human resources are the foundation of our economic prosperity and a means by which we can increase productivity, raise our standard of living and lift our poor out of poverty. Recognizing this basic premise, we must begin to build an education, employment and training system that will upgrade the skills of our existing workforce and prepare new workers for a constantly changing economy.

For these reasons, I hereby establish a Commission on Workforce Preparedness to raise these concerns to the highest level of commitment among the agencies of the State of North Carolina. Further, this Commission is to assure the greatest cooperation possible between public and private entities in resolving these concerns.

Therefore, by authority vested in me as Governor by the Constitution and laws of North Carolina, IT IS ORDERED:

Section 1. ESTABLISHMENT. There is hereby established the North Carolina Governor's Commission on Workforce Preparedness.

Section 2. MEMBERSHIP (a) The Commission shall be composed of the following officials of the State of North Carolina and public members:

EXECUTIVE ORDER NUMBER 114BUDGET ADMINISTRATION

Article III, Sec. 5(3) of the Constitution provides that the State may not operate at a deficit during the fiscal period covered by a budget. For these purposes, a "deficit" is defined as having been incurred when total expenditures for the fiscal period of the budget exceed the total of receipts during the period, plus the surplus remaining in the State Treasury at the beginning of the period. The fiscal period for the current budget is the 1989-91 biennium.

To insure that the State does not incur a deficit for the biennium covered by a budget, Article III, Sec. 5(3) requires the Governor to survey continually the collection of revenue. If, as a result of his surveys, he determines that actual receipts for the biennium, when added to the surplus remaining in the Treasury at the beginning of the biennium, will not be sufficient to pay budgeted expenditures, the Governor, after first making adequate provision for the prompt payment of the principal and interest on the State's outstanding bonds and notes, must effect the necessary economies in State expenditures to keep the deficit from occurring.

Continually surveying the collection of the State's revenues pursuant to Article III, Sec. 5(3) of the Constitution is a normal function of the Office of Budget and Management and reports on its surveys are routinely received by me.

The budget for the 1989-91 biennium calls for expenditures for the biennium of $24,580,332,439. The combined surplus remaining in the Treasury at the beginning of the biennium for the general fund and highway fund was budgeted at $573,901,175, and receipts for the period were budgeted to be $24,006,431,264. As enacted, the budget adopted by the General Assembly for the biennium was a balanced budget.

In application it has not turned out to be balanced.Initially, the Office of Budget and Management reports of its surveys of the collection of the State's

revenues indicated that receipts for the biennium, as actually received, were approximately as budgeted. Accordingly, actual expenditures for the biennium were set in keeping with the budgeted appropriations. As the biennium progressed, however, cumulative receipts, as actually received, began to lag budgeted receipts.

In recent months the deviation between actual and budgeted receipts has reached the point that it appears that the budget enacted by the General Assembly for the 1989-91 biennium cannot be administered as enacted without the State incurring a deficit in its administration. Accordingly, it is prudent that the power given the Governor by Article III, Sec. 5(3) of the Constitution, to insure that the State does not incur deficits in the administration of its budgets be invoked.

THEREFORE, pursuant to authority granted to the Governor by Article III, Sec. 5(3) of the Constitution and to fulfill the duties required of the Governor thereunder:

1. It is found as a fact that based on general fund, highway fund and highway trust fund revenue collections through April 30, 1990, and projections for these revenues through June 30, 1990, and projections for these revenues through June 30, 1991, actual receipts for the 1989-91 biennium will not meet those anticipated and budgeted by the 1989 General Assembly.

2. From this fact it is determined and concluded that unless economies in State expenditures are made, the State's general fund expenditures will exceed general fund receipts, including transfers from the highway trust fund, for the biennium by $842 million and the State's highway fund and highway trust fund expenditures will exceed highway fund receipts and highway trust fund receipts for the biennium by $165.15 million.

3. To insure that a deficit is not incurred in the administration of the State budget for the 1989-91 biennium, the following economies in State expenditures are found to be necessary and are hereby ORDERED:

(a) The Office of State Budget and Management will reduce as necessary State expenditures from funds appropriated to operate State departments and institutions;

(b) The Office of State Budget and Management will reduce as necessary State aid funds to the State Board of Education, to the State Board of Community Colleges and to other non-state recipients;

(c) The Office of State Budget and Management will halt expenditures for capital improvement projects as necessary for which State funds have been appropriated but not placed under State contract, and if necessary transfer any unused capital improvement funds to the general fund and/or the highway fund;

(d) The Office of State Budget and Management will transfer as necessary non-general fund and non-highway fund receipts into the general fund to support appropriation expenditures in order to avoid a deficit in the general fund;

(e) The Office of State Budget and Management may borrow receipts from non-general fund State receipts and non-highway fund State receipts for support of general fund appropriation expenditures;

(f) The Office of State Budget and Management may order the cancellation of purchase orders in the State general fund supported departments and institutions for which there are insufficient funds available;

(g) The Office of the State Controller, at the direction of the Director of the Budget, is directed to monitor disbursements as presented on requisitions for CASH, and as necessary, shall release CASH requisitions in the following priority order for payment of:

1. state debt;2. payrolls and public assistance benefits;3. state aid to local government;4. health and medical provider payments; and5. all other necessary expenditures.(h) The Office of the State Controller is directed to receive the employer portion of

retirement contributions for all state funded retirement systems and to place such funds in a special reserve as established by the Office of State Budget and Management.

4. This Executive Order is effective immediately and shall remain in effect, as written, until terminated or amended by further Executive Order.

Done in the Capital City of Raleigh, North Carolina, this the 8th day of May, 1990.

This term includes structures which have incurred "substantial damage", regardless of the actual repair work performed. The term does not, however, include either: (1) any project of improvement of a structure to correct existing violations of State or local health, sanitary, or safety code specifications which have been identified by the local code enforcement official and which are the minimum necessary to assure safe living conditions; or, (2) any alteration of a historic structure, provided that the alteration will not preclude the structure's continued designation as a historic structure.

41. "Substantially improved existing manufactured home part or subdivision" means where the repair, reconstruction, rehabilitation or improvement of the streets, utilities and pads equals or exceeds 50 percent of the value of the streets, utilities and pads before the repair, reconstruction or improvement commenced.

42. "Variance" is a grant of relief to a person from the requirements of this order which permits construction in a manner otherwise prohibited by this order where specific enforcement would result in unnecessary hardship.

43. "Violation" means the failure of a structure or other development to be fully compliant with the community's floodplain management regulations. A structure or other development without the elevation certificate, other certifications, or other evidence of compliance required in Articles 4 and 5 is presumed to be in violation until such time as the documentation is provided.

E. A floor elevation or flood-proofing certification is required after the lowest floor is completed, or in instances where the structure is subject to the regulations applicable to Coastal High Hazard Areas, after placement of the horizontal structural members of the lowest floor. Within twenty-one (21) calendar days of the establishment of the lowest floor elevation, or flood-proofing by whatever constructions means, or upon placement of the horizontal structural members of the lowest floor, whichever is applicable, it shall be the duty of the permit holder to submit to the Department of Administration a certification of the elevation of the lowest floor, or floodproofed elevation, or the elevation of the bottom of the horizontal structural members of the lowest floor, whichever is applicable, as built, in relation to mean sea level. Said certification shall be prepared by or under the direct supervision of a registered land surveyor or professional engineer and certified by same. When flood-proofing is utilized for a particular building, said certification shall be prepared by or under the direct supervision of a professional engineer or architect and certified by same. Any work done within the twenty-one (21) day calendar and prior to submission of the certification shall be at the permit holder's risk. The Department of Administration shall review the floor elevation survey data submitted. Deficiencies detected by such review shall be corrected by the permit holder immediately and prior to further progressive work being permitted to proceed. Failure to submit the survey or failure to make said corrections required hereby shall be cause to issue a stop work order for the project.

F. Upon receipt of the permit applications, the Secretary of the Department of Administration or his/her designee will review the application with other departments, and will (1) deny the permit application; or (2) issue a temporary permit for further development of the project. If a temporary permit is issued, the applicant may proceed with development of detailed planning and specifications, such as plans and specifications to be submitted to the Department of Administration for periodic review.

G. Upon final approval of the detailed plans and specifications, the Department of Administration shall issue a permit for construction. In granting or denying permits, the Department shall be guided by the standards, limitation and requirements set forth in this order.

H. Certificate of Compliance.

(5) A registered professional engineer or architect shall certify that the design, specifications and plans for construction are in compliance with the provisions contained in Section 10, Subsection G, Paragraphs (2), (3) and (4) of this order.

(6) There shall be no fill used as structural support. Non-compacted fill may be used around the perimeter of a building for landscaping/aesthetic purposes provided the fill will wash out from storm surge, (thereby rendering the building free of obstruction prior to generating excessive loading forces, ramping effects, or wave deflection. The Department of Administration shall approve design plans for landscaping/aesthetic fill only after the applicant has provided an analysis by an engineer, architect, and/or soil scientist which demonstrates that the following factors have been fully considered:

(a) particle composition of fill material does not have a tendency for excessive natural compaction;(b) volume and distribution of fill will not cause wave deflection to adjacent properties; and(c) slope of fill will not not cause wave run-up or ramping.(7) There shall be no alteration of sand dunes or mangrove stands which would increase

potential flood damage.(8) Lattice work or decorative screening shall be allowed below the base flood elevation

provided they are not part of the structural support of the building and are designed so as to breakaway, under abnormally high tides or wave action, without damage to the structural integrity of the building on which they are to be used and provided the following design specifications are met:

(a) no solid walls shall be allowed;(b) material shall consist of wood or mesh screening only;(c) design safe loading resistance of each wall shall be not less than 10 nor more than 20 pounds per square foot; or(d) if more than 20 pounds per square foot, a registered professional engineer or architect shall certify that the design wall collapse would result from a water load less than that which would occur during the base flood event, and the elevated portion of the building and supporting foundation system shall not be subject to collapse, displacement, or other structural damage due to the effects of wind and water loads acting simultaneously on all building components during the base flood event. Maximum wind and water loading values to be used in this determination shall each have one percent chance of being equalled or exceeded in any given year (100-year mean recurrence interval).(9) If aesthetic lattice work or screening is utilized such enclosed space shall not be

designed to be used for human habitation, but shall be designed to be used only for parking of vehicles, building access, or limited storage of maintenance equipment used in connection with the premises.

(10) Prior to construction, plans for any structures that will have lattice work or decorative screening must be submitted to the Department of Administration for approval.

A. No encroachments, including fill, new construction, substantial improvements or new development shall be permitted within a distance of thirty feet from the top of bank, unless certification with supporting technical data by a registered professional engineer is provided demonstrating that such encroachments shall not result in any increase in flood levels during the occurrence of the base flood discharge.

B. If Section 11, Subsection A is satisfied and base flood elevation data is available from other sources, all new construction and substantial improvements within such areas shall comply with all applicable flood hazard provisions of Section 9 thru 13 and shall be elevated or floodproofed in accordance with elevations established in accordance with Section 8, Subsection L. When base flood elevation data is not available from a federal, state or other source, the lowest floor, including basement, shall be elevated at least two (2) feet above the highest adjacent grade.

Section 12. Standard for Subdivision Proposals. A. All subdivision proposals shall be consistent with the need to minimize flood

damage;B. All subdivision proposals shall have public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas,

electrical and water systems located and constructed to minimize flood damage;C. All subdivision proposals shall have adequate drainage provided to reduce exposure

to flood hazards; and,D. Base flood elevation data shall be provided for subdivision proposals and other

proposed development which is greater than the lesser of fifty lots or five acres.

Section 13. Standard for Areas of Shallow Flooding (AO Zones). Located within the areas of special flood hazard established in Section 6 are areas designated as shallow flooding. These areas have special flood hazards associated with base flood depths of one to three feet (1 - 3 feet) where a clearly defined channel does not exist and where the path of flooding is unpredictable and indeterminate. The following provisions shall apply within such areas:

A. All new construction and substantial improvements of non-residential structures shall:

(1) have a lowest floor, including basement, elevated in the depth number specified on the Flood Insurance Rate Map, in feet, above the highest adjacent grade.

effect of such damage on the individual owner;(4) the importance of the services provided by the proposed facility to the community;(5) the necessity to the facility of a waterfront location, where applicable;(6) the availability of alternative locations, not subject to flooding or erosion damage,

for the proposed use;(7) the compatibility of the proposed use with existing and anticipated development;(8) the relationship of the proposed use to the comprehensive plan and floodplain

management program for that area;(9) the safety of access to the property in times of flood for ordinary and emergency

vehicles;(10) the expected heights, velocity, duration, rate of rise, and sediment transport of the

flood waters and the effects of wave action, if applicable, expected at the site; and,(11) the costs of providing governmental services during and after flood conditions

including maintenance and repair of public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical and water systems, and streets and bridges.

F. Upon consideration of all the factors listed above and the purposes of this order, the appeal board may attach such conditions to the granting of variances as it deems necessary to further the purposes of this order.

G. Variances shall not be issued within any designated floodway if any increase in flood levels during the base flood discharge would result.

H. Conditions for Variances:(1) Variances may not be issued when the variance will make the structure in violation

of other Federal, State, or local laws, regulations, or ordinances.(2) Variances shall only be issued upon a determination that the variance is the

minimum necessary, considering the flood hazard, to afford relief.(3) Variances shall only be issued upon (i) a showing of good and sufficient cause; (ii)

a determination that failure to grant the variance would result in exceptional hardship; and, (iii) a determination that the granting of a variance will not result in increased flood heights, additional threats to public safety, extraordinary public expense, create nuisance, cause fraud on or victimization of the public, or conflict with existing local laws or ordinances.

(4) Any applicant to whom a variance is granted shall be given written notice specifying the difference between the base flood elevation and the elevation to which the structure is to be built and a written statement that the cose of flood insurance will be commensurate with the increased risk resulting from the reduced lowest floor elevation. Such notification shall be maintained with a record of all variance actions.

(5) The local administrator shall maintain the records of all appeal actions and report any variances to the Federal Emergency Management Agency upon request.

Section 15. The Department of Insurance and the Department of Crime Control and Public Safety, Division of Emergency Management, State Coordinator's Office of the National Flood Insurance Program shall assist in jointly administering the provisions of this order under applicable statutory provisions.

EXECUTIVE ORDER NUMBER 130SUPPLEMENTING EXECUTIVE ORDER NUMBER 114

Reference is made to Executive Order Number 114 dated May 8, 1990.

It has been determined from the continuing survey of the collection of revenues for the 1990-91 fiscal year made by the Office of State Budget and Management that unless economies are effected in State expenditures in addition to those heretofore effected, the State will incur a deficit in the administration of its General Fund budget.

THEREFORE, pursuant to authority granted to the Governor by Article III, Sec. 5(3) of the Constitution and to fulfill the duties required of the Governor thereunder:

1. It is found as a fact that based on General Fund revenue collections through December 31, 1990, and projections for the collection of these revenues through June 30, 1991, actual receipts of General Fund revenues for the 1990-91 fiscal year will not meet those anticipated and budgeted by the 1989 General Assembly.

2. From this fact it is determined and concluded that unless additional economies in State expenditures are made, the State's General Fund expenditures will exceed General Fund receipts for the biennium.

3. To insure that a deficit is not incurred in the administration of the General Fund budget for the 1989-90 biennium, the following additional economies in State expenditures are found to be necessary and are hereby ORDERED:

Section 1. Effective January 9, 1991, and until further notice, except those for which prior commitments have been made, vacant positions in those agencies of State Government funded by General Fund appropriations may not be filled, without prior written approval of the Office of State Budget and Management.

Section 2. This Order shall become effective at 10:00 a.m., January 9, 1991, and shall remain in effect until rescinded by further Executive Order.

Done at 10:00 a.m., in the Capital City of Raleigh, North Carolina, this 9th day of January, 1991.

WHO HAVE SERVED WITH THE NATION'S ARMED FORCES DURING THE PERSIANGULF CONFLICT

North Carolina is proud of its sons and daughters who have served with the Nation's Armed Forces during the Persian Gulf Conflict. We have prayed for their safety and welcome their return. But that is not enough. We now must do all we can to help make their return to their everyday lives as easy as possible.

Many of those who served in our armed forces during the Persian Gulf Conflict were State employee National Guardsmen and reservists who interrupted their employment with the State and took military leave without pay to perform their military duties. Over the next few months they will be coming home to their families and friends and to resume their State employment. As an employer, the State can ease their transitions from their military to their civilian lives by granting to them a special readjustment leave, with pay, in which to reorder their affairs before returning to work.

THEREFORE, in grateful recognition of all that they have done for us by their service in the Armed Forces of the United States during the Persian Gulf Conflict and pursuant to authority granted to me as Governor by Article III, Sec. 1 of the Constitution and North Carolina General Statutes §§143A-4 and 143B-4, it is ORDERED:

Section 1. Upon resuming their employment with the State all State employees on military leave without pay from their regular State employment on account of extended active duty with the Armed Forces of the United States during the Persian Gulf Conflict, shall be given 80 hours (10 days) special readjustment leave to be used by such employees prior to returning to work.

Section 2. For the purposes of this Executive Order:(a) "Persian Gulf Conflict" shall refer to that time beginning August 2, 1990, and ending

when this Executive Order is revoked.(b) "State employees" shall refer to all persons employed by the State or agencies of the

State who are paid in whole or in part with State funds, including employees of local education agencies and community colleges.

Section 3. This special readjustment leave shall be in addition to the regular leave by such State employees. Any such leave that is not used within twelve months after the recipient has returned to work or prior to his separation from State employment, shall be lost.

Section 4. This special readjustment leave shall be administered by the Office of State Personnel.

Section 5. The following Council of State members are hereby given special recognition for the concurrence and encouragement they have given to me in promulgating this executive order:

James C. Gardner Lieutenant Governor

EXECUTIVE ORDER NUMBER 137ESCROWING CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE TEACHERS' AND STATE EMPLOYEES'

RETIREMENT SYSTEM

Shortfalls and possible shortfalls in the State's revenue collections for fiscal year 1990-91, require that the State conserve its cash resources whenever the same can be done without impairing either the services rendered by the State or the compensation paid to the State's employees who render the services.

Appropriated but unpaid contributions to the Teachers' and State Employees' Retirement System are authorized contributions by the State to the System but are not "funds" of the Teachers' and State Employees' Retirement System, as that word is used in Article V, Sec. 6(2) of the Constitution. Like other appropriations, appropriations to the Teachers' and State Employees' Retirement System are subject to the directive given the Governor by Article III, Sec. 5(3) of the Constitution, to avoid deficits by effecting economies in State expenditures.

Actuarial studies based on assumptions that I find acceptable show that the amounts of the State's past contributions to the Teachers' and State Employees' Retirement System have been such that the State's contributions to the System for the months of January through June, 1991, can be foregone without impairing either the current of future retirement, disability or death benefits to which retirees are entitled under present law.

THEREFORE, to the end that the State's cash resources may be sufficient to meet the State's needs for cash for the balance of FY 1990-91 and pursuant to authority granted to me by Article III, Sec. 1 and 5(3) of the Constitution, N.C.G.S. §§143A-4 and §§143B-4 and the Executive Budget Act, it is ORDERED:

Section 1. The State's agencies shall not make contributions to the Teachers' and State Employees' Retirement System for the months of January through June 1991.

Section 2. The Office of State Budget and Management shall escrow in a special account within the Treasury, cash in an amount equal to 2.3% and 0.16% of the compensation paid by the State to members of the Teachers' and State Employees' Retirement System for the months of January through June, 1991. If and at such time prior to June 30, 1991, it is found necessary to use some or all of the cash so escrowed to keep the State from incurring a deficit as defined in Article III, Sec. 5(3) of the Constitution, so much of the escrowed cash as shall be needed therefor shall be transferred to the General Fund. All cash remaining in the Escrow Fund on June 30, 1991, if any, shall be paid to the Trustees of the Teachers' and State Employees' Retirement System before the close of that business day as the State's contribution to the Fund for the period January 1 through June 30, 1991.

Section 3. This Executive order shall be effective immediately and remain in effect until rescinded or the beginning of the business day July 1, 1991, whichever is earlier.

Done in Raleigh, North Carolina this 22nd day of March, 1991.


Section 1. Executive order No. 137 is amended to read as follows:

If hereafter found by me to be necessary to enable the State to meet its needs for cash for the remainder of FY 1990-91 and thereby avoid a deficit as defined in Article III, Sec. 5(3) of the Constitution, the State's agencies' contributions to the Teachers' and State Employees' Retirement System for the months of January through June 1991, shall be reduced as provided in Section 2, hereof.

"Section 2.

EXECUTIVE ORDER NUMBER 140APPOINTING SPECIAL COMMISSION TO INVESTIGATE SHORTAGES

IN THE NORTHAMPTON COUNTY SCHOOLS' FINANCES

The Northampton County Board of Commissioners has asked that I appoint a special commission to investigate shortages and the causes for the shortages in the Northampton County Schools' finances. Documents were submitted in support of the request which evidence that shortages totaling $484,185 were suffered during the 1988-89 and 1989-90 school years and that there have been various violations of the North Carolina School Finance Act. The request was made by the Northampton County Board because it felt that the financial condition of the schools had deteriorated to the point that neither the Northampton Board of Education nor the Northampton County Board could cope with it.

North Carolina General Statute §143-158 authorizes the Governor to appoint special commissions to investigate State departments or institutions and submit their findings to him.

Article IX, Sec. 5 of the Constitution vests the State Board of Education with the authority and responsibility for supervising and administering the State's free public school system and the educational funds provided by the State for its support. Northampton County Schools is a part of the free public school system and it and the funds provided for its support are subject to the supervision and administration of the State Board of Education.

The State Auditor has the authority and resources to do much of the work that will be required for the State Board of Education to make the investigation requested by the Northampton County Board. The State

Board of Education has made known to me that it would be helpful to the State Board to have the benefit of the assistance of the State Auditor in carrying out the investigation.

THEREFORE, as requested by the Northampton County Board of Commissioners and pursuant to Articles III, Sec. 1 and Article IX, Sec. 5 of the Constitution and North Carolina General Statutes §143-158, §143A-25 and §147-64.6(c)(3), it is ORDERED:

Section 1: The State Board of Education is hereby designated a Special Commission to investigate alleged shortages in the Northampton County School's finances and the causes for such shortages and report to me (i) the results of its findings and (ii) its recommendations for remedying whatever shortcomings found.

Section 2: The State Auditor is hereby requested to assist the State Board of Education in its investigation by conducting a Special Investigation and Compliance Audit of the Northampton County Schools for such periods as are found to be indicated for the State Board of Education to discharge its responsibilities hereunder and to do all such other things as appear to the State Auditor to be appropriate to that end and to report the results of the same to the State Board of Education.

Section 3: The Attorney General, the Department of Justice, the State Treasurer, the Local Government Commission and all other agencies of the State called upon to do by the State Board of Education and/or the State Auditor, shall furnish assistance to the State Board and/or the State Auditor in conducting this investigation.

Section 4: This Executive Order shall be effective immediately and shall remain in effect until terminated by me or my successor.

Done in Raleigh, North Carolina, this 22nd day of April, 1991.

EXECUTIVE ORDER NUMBER 142CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES

WHEREAS, the future of North Carolina depends on its children; and

WHEREAS, the number of abuse and neglect cases have skyrocketed in recent years, in too many instances cutting short the lives of our youngest citizens; and

WHEREAS, county departments of social services received 36,000 reports of child abuse and neglect in state fiscal year 1989 involving more than 52,000 children; and

WHEREAS, reports of abuse and neglect are increasing dramatically at a time when both the state and counties are facing serious revenue shortfalls, leaving them unable to provide the funds necessary for the number of social services workers needed to investigate abuse/neglect reports and provide treatment for children and their families; and

WHEREAS, it is the duty of the Department of Human Resources' Division of Social Services to assist counties in providing the services necessary to protect children from abusive home situations;

NOW, THEREFORE, by the authority vested in me as Governor by the Constitution and laws of North Carolina, IT IS ORDERED:

Section 1. The Secretary of Human Resources is responsible for ensuring that the Division of Social Services strengthen its supervision of county administered Child Protective Services (CPS) programs through such mechanisms and methods as: the procedures for division review of child fatalities, the establishment of Community Child Protection Teams, more effective monitoring of CPS screening decisions, improvements to the Central Registry for Child Abuse and Neglect, increased training and community awareness, enhancement of the Child Medical Evaluation Program and proposed legislative actions.

Section 2. The Secretary of Human Resources is hereby directed to request the Social Services Commission to enact emergency rules, in accordance with Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, requiring each County Department of Social Services to establish a Community Child Protection Team to review defined cases of child abuse or neglect, including child fatalities. It is my recommendation that the membership of each team include, but not be limited to, the following individuals: the director of Social Services and a member of their staff, local law enforcement, the District Attorney's office, the medical profession, community action agency, school personnel, county social services board member and, at their option, three to five members appointed by the county board of commissioners. The county board of commissioners may by action within 30 days designate the chairman of the review team. Otherwise, the director of Social Services will chair the team.

In cases of abuse/neglect, the focus of the team shall be to ensure appropriate community involvement in the protection of the children and to assist the county department of social services in evaluating allegations of maltreatment and in planning and providing services to prevent further abuse/neglect. In the review of child fatalities resulting from maltreatment, the focus of the review team will be to identify gaps and deficiencies in the local child protection system and help put into place needed remedies, and to assist the county department of social services in the protection of surviving siblings.

The teams shall conduct their reviews in compliance with all laws and regulations governing confidentiality of abuse/neglect records.

Section 3. It shall be the responsibility of the Department of Human Resources Division of Social Services, in accordance with the laws and through the adoption of emergency rules by the Social Services Commission, to:

1. Develop procedures to guide the operation of community child protection teams and to define the cases which will be subject to review by the county teams.

2. Standardize among counties the interpretation of "caretaker" so all counties investigate allegations of abuse and neglect involving non-traditional family members, such as boyfriends.

3. Require each county department of social services to have a two level review prior to making a decision not to investigate a report of alleged abuse or neglect. Such review would, at a minimum, involve the worker receiving the call and that person's supervisor and could include review by the county director.

4. Monitor closely county cases in which the decision was made not to investigate a report.

5. Require each county department to establish a process by which the reporting person may request and obtain a review of the decision not to investigate, and will require that such persons be informed of the process for obtaining such a review.

6. Require that all county Child Protective Services staff attend basic training courses developed by the Division of Social Services after consultation with the Office of State Personnel.

7. Make improvements to the Central Registry for Child Abuse and Neglect by amending 10 N.C.A.C. 41I .0102. These improvements will allow county departments of social services to identify whether children who are the subject of abuse/neglect investigations have been previously reported as abused or neglected, or whether the child is a member of a family in which a child fatality due to maltreatment has occurred in any county in the state. These improvements shall allow law enforcement and medical professionals to have all pertinent information from the State Central Registry which legally may be disclosed. Further, these improvements shall allow the Department of Human Resources and the division to provide access, as allowed by law, to the Central Registry by law enforcement and the Chief Medical Examiner's office in the event of a child fatality to determine whether abuse or neglect should be evaluated as a cause of death.

8. Provide quarterly reports to the public on child fatalities that occur due to maltreatment.

Section 4. Funds from the Community Services Block Grant administered by local Community Action Agencies shall be allocated for Community Awareness Conferences across the state. The Conferences will seek to increase citizen and agency participation in appropriate reporting of child abuse/neglect and fatalities, and in family preservation and child protection activities.

Section 5. The terms and conditions of this Executive Order which may conflict with the terms and conditions of previous Executive Orders on this subject shall control.

Section 6. This Order shall become effective immediately.
