2026-209 PURCHASE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS

Background: This agenda item is to purchase self contained breathing apparatus, which is an essential part of the personal protective equipment for firefighters. This purchase is for thirteen air packs with spare bottles and individual facepieces, as well as a new compatible Rapid Intervention Team (RIT) kit for a total cost of $146,860. Our current Scott Air Packs are greater than 10 years old and in need of replacement due to the harsh environments they operate in and the advancement of newer technology. We evaluated current offerings of NFPA 1970 compliant packs and elected to stay with Scott. This is a replacement of existing technology, so training is minimized with the changeover. Standards for this equipment are promulgated by the National Fire Protective Association, and has recently released new guidance in the form of NFPA 1970. NFPA 1970 (2025 edition), effective September 2024 with full compliance by March 2026, is the new comprehensive standard consolidating NFPA 1981 (SCBA) and 1982 (PASS). It mandates updated air packs with removable soft goods for decontamination, refined end-of-service indicators at 31% bottle pressure, and improved wireless telemetry for firefighter tracking. Products manufactured after September 28, 2024, should comply, with a final compliance deadline for existing SCBA to meet the new standard by March 28, 2026. Rhinehart Fire, located at 22 Piney Park Rd., Asheville, NC 28806. A bidding exception was reviewed and approved by Purchasing and SBED using the North Carolina Sheriff's Association contract #26-03-0521(attached). Requested Action: Approve the purchase of thirteen self-contained breathing apparatus and accessories as authorized by the cooperative purchasing exemption of G.S. 143-129(e)(3) from Rhinehart Fire, from the NC Sheriff's Association contract # 26-03-0521 in a total amount of $146,860.

The net proceeds received from the disposal will be brought back to the Board of Commissioners for receipt and to be allocated against the project to purchase new radios (320302510). This action is necessary to begin the process to dispose of these assets. Requested Action: WHEREAS, the County has accumulated item(s) of personal property exceeding $30,000 in value; and, WHEREAS, it is in the public interest to dispose of such items by offering them for sale to the public by electronic auction, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS FOR THE COUNTY OF GUILFORD: 1.

Background: On March 17, 2022, the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners adopted a resolution authorizing the limited open display and discharge of firearms at Triad Park's Carolina Field of Honor, with the concurrence of Guilford County. This permission originally applied to Veterans Day and Vietnam Veterans Memorial Day. The revised resolution updates the approved dates for these ceremonial activities.

2026-218 TEXT AMENDMENT CASE #26-03-PLBD-00016 TO AMEND SUBSECTION 10.06 (CIVIL PENALTIES - ASSESSMENT AND PROCEDURES) OF THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE (UDO) TO ESTABLISH SPECIFIC CIVIL PENALTY AMOUNTS FOR VIOLATIONS OF UDO REGULATIONS

Background: Proposed Text Amendment Case #26-03-PLBD-00016 (attached) seeks to update UDO Subsection 10.06: Civil Penalties - Assessment and Procedures, to establish specific civil penalties (monetary) for violations of the UDO that do not currently have a specified civil penalty amount and that currently only references NCGS 160D-404(c), which enables counties to enforce development regulations by assessing civil penalties for ordinance violations by any of the remedies provided in NCGS 153A-123. The UDO establishes specific civil penalties (monetary) for some violations, including parts of Subsection 9.1: Stormwater Management and Watershed Protection Districts (see Subsection 9.1.F.5(d)(iv)(5)), Subsection 9.2: Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control (see Subsection 10.07), and Subsection 9.4: Illicit and Illegal Discharges (see Subsection 9-4.12). This text amendment would apply specific civil penalties (monetary) for all other violations of the UDO including, but not limited to, all zoning and subdivision violations. As such, this text amendment proposes the following civil penalties: 1st Offense - $50.00; 2nd Offense - $100.00; 3rd Offense - $200.00; and 4th and Succeeding Offense - $500.00. NOTE: UDO Subsection 10.03.C specifies that "every calendar day an offense is not remedied after being served a Notice of Violation shall be considered a separate offense." If approved, this text amendment would become effective July 1, 2026 and following adoption of the approved Fee Schedule as part of the Guilford County FY 2026-27 budget. Staff conducted a review of the civil penalty amounts assessed by neighboring jurisdictions of comparable size (table attached). The proposed amounts are consistent with the civil penalties assessed by both the City of Greensboro and the City of High Point. At its April 8, 2026, regular meeting (minutes attached), the Guilford County Planning Board recommended approval of this text amendment to the Board of Commissioners by a vote of 6-0, with three members absent. (Ayes: Donnelly, Craft, Little, Bui, Drumwright, Alston. Nays: None.). The staff report is also attached. Consistency: The proposed text amendment to establish specific civil penalty amounts is consistent with the Planning Theme of Community Character. The Goal Statement of the Community Character Planning Theme is to “Celebrate Guilford County’s unique sense of place by balancing agricultural preservation with desired development patterns, context-sensitive site design and placemaking.” The proposed text amendment supports preservation of community character and emphasizes safe neighborhoods by furthering the County’s ability to ensure compliance with the UDO and obtain correction of violations. The text amendment is also consistent with the Planning Theme of Attainable Housing. Policy 4 of the Attainable Housing Planning Theme seeks to “Encourage the preservation, maintenance, and development of high-quality and safe housing.” The purpose of the UDO is to promote the health, safety, and general welfare of the residents of Guilford County and the proposed text amendment aligns with this purpose. The Board of Commissioners is not limited to the proposed language of the text amendment. It may consider changes to the proposed text amendment. Requested Action: Hold a legislative hearing and adopt the amendments proposed in UDO Text Amendment Case #26-03-PLBD-00016 and the aforementioned statement of plan consistency, as presented herein, to amend Subsection 10.06: Civil Penalties - Assessment and Procedures to establish specific civil penalties (monetary) for violations of UDO regulations that do not currently have a specified civil penalty amount and amend the fee schedule to incorporate same; effective July 1, 2026.

2026-228 UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE (UDO) TEXT AMENDMENT CASE #25-12-PLBD-00152: AN AMENDMENT TO SUBSECTION 2.8 (FLOODPLAIN ADMINISTRATOR), SUBSECTION 3.5 (PROCEDURES FOR SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS), SUBSECTION 9.3 (FLOOD DAMAGE PREVENTION), SUBSECTION 12 (DEFINITIONS) AND ADOPTION OF UPDATED FLOOD MAPS

Background: Proposed text amendment #25-12-PLBD-00152 (attached) to the Guilford County Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) updates the Flood Damage Prevention provisions of the UDO to maintain consistency with National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) standards. On December 10, 2025, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) issued a Letter of Final Determination (attached) to Guilford County as notification that the new Flood Insurance Study (FIS a.k.a. Flood Study) and associated Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs a.k.a. Flood Maps) for our community will become effective on June 10, 2026. The Flood Maps published by FEMA indicate geographic areas prone to flooding which are subject to additional construction permitting requirements per state and federal regulations to address flood risks. The County must adopt the updated Flood Study and Flood Maps before this deadline, as required by FEMA and Title 44 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 60.3(d) to maintain its NFIP community status. As a participant in the NFIP, the County is required to keep the Flood Damage Prevention regulations of its UDO, its regulatory Flood Maps, and Flood Study current. Participation in the NFIP helps ensure residents within Guilford County remain eligible for flood insurance through the NFIP and supports regulations that help reduce flood risks. The current and proposed updated Flood Maps for Guilford County are available to be viewed on the North Carolina Department of Public Safety (NCDPS) Flood Risk Information System (FRIS) Website at: https: fris.nc.gov Public Outreach: To support the Flood Study and Flood Maps update, Guilford County staff helped coordinate and implement a public Community Outreach Meeting on July 25, 2023 with the Cities of Greensboro and High Point, other local jurisdictions, and the NCDPS. This process was conducted in an effort to inform the public and provide an opportunity for property owners to meet community officials and NCDPS to discuss and ask questions about the Flood Map changes, reason for the change, how properties could be affected, and explain the appeals process if owners desired to contest the findings of the updated Flood Maps. The County also advertised the public meeting on the Guilford County Electronic Legal Notices website (as allowed per S.L. 2017-210), Guilford County main webpage, Planning & Development Department webpage, and the Floodplain Management webpage. In addition, letters with information regarding Flood Map changes and advertisement of the public meeting were sent to property owners for which GIS analysis indicated a structure on the property was added to the floodplain. The County also created a Flood Mapping and Updates informational website regarding the Flood Study and Flood Map updates, which was advertised in the above public meeting announcements, letters and at the meeting. For both the Planning Board and Board of Commissioners' legislative (public) hearing, notice was provided on the Guilford County Electronic Legal Notices website and signs were posted at key intersections around the County. Based on GIS analysis, 46 structures on 23 properties were added to the special flood hazard area (i.e., 100-year floodplain). Letters were sent to these 23 property owners. FEMA also published a notice regarding the proposed flood hazard determinations (preliminary Flood Study and Flood Maps) in the Federal Register on October 7, 2024. A 90-day appeal period for the proposed FIS and Flood Maps began on December 18, 2024 and ended on March 18, 2025. The appeal period offered property owners an opportunity to contest the results of the new Flood Study and Flood Maps if they disagreed with the findings (e.g., whether the property is located in a regulated floodplain). The proposed text amendment includes provisions to automatically adopt future FEMA Flood Studies & Flood Maps, helping to ensure continued compliance with federal and state requirements. This approach streamlines the process for incorporating mandated updates while preserving the community's ability to appeal proposed map updates. Additionally, text revisions to the Flood Damage Prevention section of the UDO are proposed to improve formatting, language, clarity, and definitions to better align the County's Flood Damage Prevention provisions with the North Carolina Model Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance and enhance overall clarity and consistency. The underlined text in the attached amendment is to be added; the strike-through text is to be deleted. At its April 8, 2026 regular meeting, the Guilford County Planning Board unanimously recommended (6-0) to the Board of Commissioners that Text Amendment Case #25-12-PLBD-00152 (minutes attached) be adopted, as presented herein. (Ayes: Alston, Donnelly, Little, Bui, Drumwright, and Craft. Nays: None.). The staff report is also attached. Consistency with Adopted Plans: The proposed text amendment is consistent with the Planning Theme for Protected Natural Environment & Greenspace. Policy 2 of the Protected Natural Environment & Greenspace Planning Theme is to "Safeguard the environmental integrity of Regional Water Sources and Recreational Water Bodies." Action Item N2.3 under Policy 2 states to "Expand on existing watershed management policies to set goals and priorities for protecting, restoring, and improving the county's environmental resources." Action Item N2.5 under Policy 2 further states to "Continue to coordinate and cooperate with other local, regional, and state agencies and organizations, such as the NC Division of Water Quality, on joint watershed planning and management." Finally, the proposed text amendment is also consistent with Policy 3 of the Protected Natural Environment & Greenspace Planning Theme which states to Protect Natural Features and Sensitive Areas including Riparian Areas, Floodplains, and Vegetation/Tree Cover. Additionally, the amendment maintains Guilford County's consistency with State and Federal floodplain regulations and helps ensure county residents maintain access to vital flood insurance. The Board of Commissioners is not limited to the proposed language of the text amendment. It may consider changes to the proposed text amendment. Requested Action: Hold a legislative hearing and adopt Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Text Amendment Case #25-12-PLBD-00152 and the proposed amendments and the aforementioned statement of plan consistency, as presented herein, to adopt the new Flood Maps/Flood Study and amend the Guilford County UDO's Floodplain Damage Prevention provisions to align with the most recent North Carolina Model Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance.

2026-204 GREENSBORO/GUILFORD COUNTY TOURISM DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY BUDGET ORDINANCE FOR FY 2026-27

Background: The Greensboro/Guilford County Tourism Development Authority (the Authority) is a public authority under the North Carolina General Statutes, created to promote activities and programs which encourage travel and tourism to the area. The Authority receives 70% of the net proceeds from the County's 3% occupancy tax. The County levies the occupancy tax which is the major source of the Authority's revenues, and the County has final approval over the Greensboro/Guilford County Tourism Development Authority's annual budget. The Board of Commissioners must approve the Authority's budget ordinance before it is adopted by the Authority Board. The Authority approved the submission of the proposed ordinance on April 13, 2026 and are scheduled to approve the final budget ordinance during their May meeting, following the review and approvals by the Board of Commissioners May 7, 2026 and Greensboro City Council on April 21, 2026.

2026-213 INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH PIEDMONT TRIAD REGIONAL COUNCIL TO ADMINISTER NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL AND CULTURAL RESOURCES THROUGH THE GREAT TRAILS STATE PROGRAM GRANT AWARD OF $500,000 FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF PIEDMONT REGIONAL GREENWAY

Background: The purpose of this agenda item is to approve an Interlocal Agreement with the Piedmont Triad Regional Council to administer a $500,000 award from the Great Trails State Program and to allocate $130,000 in County matching funds. The $130,000 in County matching funds will be fund from the Trail Development capital project, which has a current balance of $265,557. The Piedmont Regional Greenway is a planned 19-mile, multi-jurisdictional paved corridor designed to connect the cities of Greensboro and Winston-Salem, as well as the towns of Kernersville, Oak Ridge, and Summerfield. The greenway will serve as a critical regional linkage, integrating with established trail systems such as the Mountains-to-Sea Trail, Salem Lake Trails, A&Y Greenway, Triad Park, and the Greensboro Watershed Trails, thereby enhancing connectivity, recreation, and alternative transportation opportunities across the Piedmont Triad. The proposed grant will support the engineering and design of a key segment of the greenway within Triad Park and surrounding area, a major regional asset jointly owned and operated by Guilford and Forsyth Counties. This segment, identified as the Triad Park-Reedy Fork Greenway, represents a vital component of the broader initiative to establish a continuous active transportation corridor linking the primary urban centers of Greensboro and Winston-Salem, located within two of North Carolina's most populous counties. The project aligns with and advances the goals of the recently adopted Comprehensive Parks, Trails, and Open Space Master Plan. Key partners in this multi-jurisdictional effort include Forsyth County and the Town of Kernersville. On July 11, 2024, the Board approved a partnership authorizing the Piedmont Triad Regional Council to submit and administer the grant application on the County's behalf, contingent upon award. The Town of Kernersville Council has approved this Interlocal Agreement and Forsyth County is currently in the process of approving this agreement as well. Requested Action: Authorize the County to enter into an Interlocal Agreement with the Piedmont Triad Regional Council to administer a $500,000 award from the Great Trails State Program for the development of the Piedmont Regional Greenway. Amend the Trails Development capital project ordinance to reduce the appropriation to the project by $130,000 and reduce Other Revenue (Bond Proceeds) by $130,000 and adopt a grant project ordinance in the amount of $130,000 with $130,000 in Other Revenue (Bond Proceeds). Budget Impact: County Building Construction Fund, Trails Development (amend), $130,000 decrease in appropriation to capital project, $130,000 decrease in Other Revenue (Bond Proceeds). Grant Projects Fund, FY26 Great Trails State Grant (adopt), $130,000 appropriation to grant project, $130,000 in Other Revenue (Bond Proceeds).

2026-230 HHS CHILD FATALITY PREVENTION TEAM

Background: The Child Fatality Prevention Team (CFPT) is responsible for reviewing the deaths of all children under age 18 who were residents of Guilford County. The team receives demographic and case information from the State, including cause of death, birth and death certificates, medical examiner reports, and autopsy findings. Reviews are conducted at least one year after the child's death to ensure complete and accurate information is available. In accordance with NCG.S. § 7B-1406.5, each county is required to establish a Local Team or participate in a multicounty team, as determined by the Board of County Commissioners in consultation with the local health director, the director of social services (or consolidated human services director), and guidance from the State Office. Guilford County maintains a Local Team to carry out these responsibilities. State law requires the Local Team to review specific categories of child deaths, including those resulting from undetermined causes, unintentional injuries, violence, motor vehicle incidents, suspected or confirmed child maltreatment, sudden unexpected infant death, suicide, deaths not expected within six months, and other infant deaths as defined by the State. The team may also review additional child deaths outside of these categories and, upon request, may review active child protective services cases to inform system improvements. The statute further requires Local Teams to participate in ongoing training and to follow established best practices for conducting reviews, collecting information, engaging appropriate partners, and reporting findings. While the team reviews all applicable child deaths, full team discussions primarily focus on deaths considered preventable. These include cases involving unsafe sleep environments, fires, suicide, homicide, blunt force trauma, drowning, motor vehicle and bicycle incidents, choking or suffocation, and poisoning. The purpose of CFPT is not to assign blame to individuals or agencies. Instead, the team identifies system-level issues, strengthens communication among local partners, and develops recommendations to prevent future child fatalities. The team analyzes trends, identifies service gaps, and provides recommendations for policy changes, education, and resource needs to improve outcomes for children and families. Requested Action: Receive HHS Child Fatality Prevention Team Annual Update. Budget Impact: NO ADDITIONAL COUNTY FUNDS REQUIRED Sponsors: Courtney McFadden, Sharon Barlow
