benefits and services. There are several deployment targets or phases in terms of implementing 

NC FAST. The purpose of this presentation is to inform the Board of Commissioners regarding 

challenges that Pitt County D.S.S. is facing in meeting client needs for such things as food

Resolution in Support of Regional Interstate Connectivity in Eastern North Carolina - Scott 

Elliott 


This agenda item has been prepared at the request of Chairman Garris. This is being considered 

by various jurisdications in the region. 

Communities in Eastern North Carolina are considering the beneficial regional economic 

development opportunities and enhanced connectivity that would occur if North Carolina's 

Department of Transportation (NCDOT) were to develop certain corridors to interstate standards, 

creating a regional interstate system in the area. 

A vision of a regional interstate highway system that fosters regional cooperation, economic 

development, and enhances mobility and connectivity throughout the region has been developed 

and preliminarily coordinated with key elected officials throughout the region. 

The County of Pitt stands to benefit, either directly or indirectly, with the development of a 

regional interstate highway system in Eastern NC. The envisioned interstate network would run 

along existing (or soon-to-be-built) high-speed corridors, some of which are already expected to 

be built to interstate standards (i.e. SW Bypass). 

The vision involves upgrading US264, NC11, and US70 to interstate highway standard. This 

would provide for a regional interstate system that would serve the Eastern NC area. This 

regional interstate concept involves an interstate facility along I795, US264, US70, and NC11 

between US264 and Harvey Parkway Section C. 

After the jurisdictions in the region support this concept, a similar resolution will be brought 

forth to the respective regional transportation planning organization for their consideration of the 

same. This will guide these organizations in developing their prioritization of unfunded roadway 

projects in the area. 

Requests for development of this system will be handled via the regional transportation planning 

organizations through their unfunded roadway project prioritization process. These are 

submitted to NCDOT for their funding consideration in development of the State Transportation 

Improvement Program. 


Motion to adopt the resolution supporting/endorsing NCDOT's development and construction of 

a regional Interstate highway system spanning from I795 to US264 to NC11 to US70.

Mayor Allen Thomas stated this is an opportunity for competitive edge in eastern North 

Carolina. He spoke of connectivity and strength among the communities. He spoke of 

leveraging strength among the communities. He stated communities are stronger together when 

they combine their strengths. He stated there has been a shift in North Carolina in recent years. 

He stated the population is moving to the central part of the state. He stated Lenoir County 

Commissioner Mac Daughety, Mayor BJ Murphy from Kinston and Mayor Steven Tripp from 

Ayden and others joined the Greenville City Council by passing a resolution. He asked the Board 

of Commissioners for their support in this endeavor. 

Chairman Garris stated Lenoir County Commissioner Mac Daughety has been involved in the 

technical aspects of the concept. Commissioner Ward thanked Commissioner Daughety for 

pushing the project forward and thanked Chairman Garris for his involvement as well. 

Chairman Garris stated this is a great opportunity as a region to accomplish some long-term 

goals. 

Motion: 

Motion to adopt the resolution supporting/endorsing NCDOT's development and construction of 

a regional Interstate highway system spanning from I795 to US264 to NC11 to US70. 

Motion made by Commissioner David Hammond. 

Motion seconded by Commissioner Melvin McLawhorn. 


Public Addresses to the Board 

Samuel Jones, Vice President, Pitt County Fire Association, spoke in regard to Fire Marshals 

driving their vehicles home every day. He stated the Fire Marshals are on call twenty four hours 

a day, seven days a week for day and night time emergencies. He stated the Association 

discussed the issue of having better response time from the Fire Marshal during an emergency. 

He encouraged the Board of Commissioners to change the current driving privileges of the Fire 

Marshals in Pitt County. 

Chairman Garris sated he has spoken with the County Manager and he believes it may be worked 

out during the upcoming budget process.

Overview 

Purpose of NC FAST 

 

 

 

Designed to improve the way NC DHHS and the 100 county departments 

of Social Services provide benefits and services to the people of North 

Carolina, and help families move to independence. 

Introduce new technological tools and business processes that will 

enable staff to reduce time spent on repetitive and cumbersome 

paperwork, and allow state and county staff to better focus their efforts on 

the complex issues presented by North Carolina families in need.

Overview 

NC FAST: A New Way of Doing Business 

NC FAST system functionality presents a very different way of conducting 

the business of taking applications and processing cases. 

Data from 19 legacy systems is converted and consolidated into a central 

database for the integrated case management system. 

The system performs calculations and applies rules to make the eligibility 

decisions based on data entered in the system. 

Counties are adapting their local business practices to align with how NC 

FAST handles data and user tasks. 

NC DHHS is moving toward standardizing policies and processes across 

all 100 counties.

Overview 

Benefits of NC FAST 

• Families will have: 

“One-stop shopping" with one-time communication of their information 

and needs. 

Confidence that their benefits will be determined in an expedited, 

consistent manner from any place in the state. 

Benefits in a more timely manner, due to reduced application and 

processing time. 

• Communities will have: 

Increased responsiveness to community needs. 

Increased community outreach. 

Better outcomes for dollars invested. 

4 

21

Overview 

Benefits of NC FAST (continued) 

• County Departments of Social Services and their employees will have: 

Tools to share data and track cases across program areas/county lines. 

More time to assist families as administrative tasks are automated. 

Increased ability to work with families within existing resources. 

Enhanced partnerships with employers, service providers and other 

support organizations. 

Comprehensive case information to better assess and meet clients needs. 

• The State will have: 

Ability to implement policy changes efficiently and uniformly. 

Access to current, accurate and useful data integrated across programs. 

Comprehensive data on service delivery for accountability and decisionmaking 

purposes. 

Enhanced partnerships with counties and other state entities. 

5 

22

Overview 

Benefits of NC FAST (continued) 

• Avoided Costs 

Reduction in clients’ lost wages for time spent in county department of 

Social Services’ offices. 

Reduction in overpayments as a result of human error in basic manual 

calculations as a portion of eligibility determination process. 

Reduction in postage costs resulting from consolidation of verification 

mailings.

24

Overview 

Case Management 

• NC DHHS supervises the North Carolina human service programs 

administered by the 100 county departments of Social Services. 

• The divisions, sections and offices of NC DHHS reflect state and 

federally initiated program areas. 

• In the early 1980’s, North Carolina implemented mainframe systems. 

Functionality was added to accommodate related programs and 

program rule changes. 

• 19 legacy systems have been identified that are within the scope of 

NC FAST, and which collect, maintain and process information about 

applicants and recipients. 

• These legacy systems are disparate and not well suited to support the 

growing demands of economic benefits, child welfare, adult care and 

aging services, health insurance reform, and related changes in 

accountability to share and integrate information. 

8 

25

Overview 

Case Management (continued) 

• Redundant entry, which includes entering the same client data in multiple 

systems, is currently necessary because these systems do not adequately 

share data, resulting in duplicated work, increased risk of errors and 

increased time for gathering and entering information. 

• NC DHHS requires a highly integrated case management system across 

all services and benefits programs to pull together today’s islands of 

information into a single-solution system and provide functionality that 

does not exit today. 

• The NC FAST Case Management solution represents the steps toward 

achieving the objectives that will result in improved operations for NC 

DHHS Social Services
