Forestieri said that on February 21, 2008 the Wake County Fire Commission approved a Long Range Business Plan that was developed to address response time and staffing goals for fire service in

fire station exists within this region of the county On July 17, 2008, the Wake County Fire Commission met and approved a motion to recommend that the Board approve the acquisition of a 4.13 acre site located on Spaceway Court, which intersects with Raynor Road in southeast Garner The new Fire/EMS facility will serve the area east of Garner and Interstate 40 It will allow the County to extend fire insurance district boundaries to cover unincorporated area not currently in a rated fire insurance district Mr Ken Newell, Newell Architect from Gastonia, reported on the site and facility design The goal of the facility is to separate the emergency and nonemergency traffic This is a drive thru facility that has double loaded bays There are two different paving surfaces with heavy duty asphalt on one side and concrete pavement on the other side The goal is to keep the floor plan simple and to house people that can respond as quickly as possible Fire Department and EMS staff will be housed together There is a separation of areas but they have joint use of common areas Each area has its own sleeping area and will share the kitchen facility There are three double loaded drive bays Outside

BUSINESS INCENTIVE GRANT PAYMENTS TO CREDIT SUISSE FOR FISCAL YEARS 2007-2008 AND 2008-2009 Mr David Cooke stated the Board should have received an amended agenda item at their seats today The County’s Business Incentive Policy has been in place for several years and the county has entered into six incentive grants but this is the first agreement that has come to completion requiring the county’s participation The Credit Suisse Business Incentive agreement was entered into November 15, 2004 Credit Suisse has completed the following: - Created and retained over 600 new jobs, with an average wage exceeding $70,000 (The County’s policy requires 50 jobs.) -Added over $100 million in new investment to Wake County (including a data center which was sold to Fidelity Investments in October 2007.) -Paid property taxes, in total, in 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 Mr Cooke noted that Credit Suisse could have requested the grant payments they qualify for last year but waited until recently to request the grant from Wake County and the One North Carolina Grant Mr Cooke said Credit Suisse has met their requirements and in accordance with the agreement, the County will pay Credit Suisse $625,076.55 He stated as long as they retain the jobs and pay the property taxes, they will be eligible for grant payments estimated at $125,000 per year for the next six years In addition to these payments, Wake County is the pass through for the One North Carolina Grant funds so the county will receive the funds and pass them through to Credit Suisse There are two actions before the Board for consideration These funds are shown as expenses in the capital budget in the County’s Financial Model Mr Cooke explained that Credit Suisse also received the JDIG (Job Development Incentive Grant) from the State of North Carolina In order to qualify for the One North Carolina Fund Grant, the local government must participate and has to show equal amount of matches from the different sources Wake County’s match will come from the incentive grant which includes the amount of money that was for road improvements put in by the State and the on-site improvements done in the Research Triangle Park for this business Credit Suisse investments were made by building an office building and a data center in the Research Triangle Park Commissioner Bryan said with this being the first one he felt it should be stated that $627,000 is money Wake County paid in the project and $2.6 million was paid in by the State of North Carolina Credit Suisse has and will pay in taxes way above the grant and will continue to benefit the citizens of Wake County Other benefits are the 600 new jobs created at salaries over $70,000 per year This is a $100 million investment that will continue to benefit the State of North Carolina and specifically Wake County Commissioner Gurley stated their contributions to the North Carolina Symphony and in other areas of the community has shown made them to be one of
