According to North Carolina General Statute 153A -149(c)(3) authorizes the County to spend monies on social service programs which are not governed by the social services statute. However, if the County wishes to donate the property, it will have to place covenants in the deed to ensure the entity continues to use the property for said public purpose. The proposed covenants include that Johnston Lee Harnett Community Action will continue to operate as a non-profit authorized to do business in the State of North Carolina and it will continue to utilize state and federal funding to help provide services to low income members of Lee County and will not discriminate services based on anyone's race, color, religion, sex or national origin. Johnston Lee Harnett Community Action is also unable to lease the property for profit. If the property were to ever stop being used for theses public purposes, it will revert back to the County. If the County decides to donate the property, the Board needs to adopt the accompanying resolution and authorize the Clerk to advertise the intent of the donation in The Sanford Herald. The closing on the property cannot occur until at least 10 days after the advertisement, to allow citizens the opportunity to contact the Board if they wish. After publication, staff will bring the property back to the Board to let them know of any responses from the public and then the Board can authorize the transfer. County Manager Dr. John Crumpton stated that a request was received in April for the donation of the building to the organization because they want to expand case management, homelessness, and housing services and they would like to get off the of the second floor since it is not ADA compliant. The staff recommendation is that the property be declared as surplus. Closing cannot occur until 10 days after advertisement for input and would be brought back to the board regarding any comments received before being transferred. The building cannot be sold by the donating party. Deed restriction would revert the property back to the County if operations were abandoned. Commissioner Sharpe as the representative on JLHCA recommended the donation of the property to the organization. Letter from JLHCA Initial Resolution 225 Steele Street 9.9.21.docx 11
