PURPOSE To allow the American Cancer Society Relay for Life organization to present a plaque recognizing George Davis, Cobb County Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs employee, for his outstanding dedication and support to the annual Relay for Life event.

BACKGROUND The American Cancer Society annually sponsors an organized, overnight community fundraising walk called Relay for Life, which is one of the top such events in the country. The Relay for Life event is held to honor those who are fighting the battle with cancer or for cancer survivors, and the funds raised are used toward finding a cure for this disease that affects so many people in our community. For over ten years, this Cobb County Relay for Life event has been hosted at the Jim R. Miller Park. George Davis, Cobb County Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs employee, who oversees the park, has each year demonstrated his dedication to the event by providing an outstanding level of support for the event and its organizers. His support has been described as “amazing” by those American Cancer Society representatives who each year coordinate this event with George. George ensures that the event receives the highest level of support, including support on the day of the event, set-up activities, logistics, and he has always displayed an attitude of “doing whatever is needed” to ensure the event is a success and any needs are addressed quickly and efficiently. The American Cancer Society Relay for Life team would like to recognize George for his outstanding support and dedication with the presentation of a plaque to honor his contributions and efforts.

PURPOSE To conduct a public hearing prior to employing an independent consultant or consulting firm to develop a Marketing and Branding Strategy for South Cobb.

BACKGROUND

On April 22, 2014, the Board of Commissioners authorized the issuance of a Request for Proposals #14-5921 for consultant services to develop a marketing and branding campaign for South Cobb. This initiative will be accomplished as a partnership between Cobb County, the South Cobb Redevelopment Authority, and a number of community partners involved in economic development. The Request for Proposals is using Selection Process 2 (Competitive Proposals) as outlined in the Policy for the Procurement of Professional Services, as amended by the Board on July 28, 2009.

Some of the goals for conducting the “South Cobb Marketing and Branding Campaign” include: • Creating a new identity for South Cobb that will aid in altering the misconception of the area. • Creating a sense of place in South Cobb through the creation of signage, brand identity, marketing materials, and an online presence. • Marketing South Cobb to businesses developers, both commercial and residential.

The marketing and branding strategy planning process is intended to involve community stakeholders who have a vested interest in the viability of South Cobb and rebrand South Cobb showcasing the attributes the community has to offer in a manner that will serve the higher purpose of altering the false perceptions.

The marketing and branding strategy planning process, including data collection and analysis,

PURPOSE To approve Supplemental Agreement No. 1 to an agreement with the North Landing Homeowners Association, Inc. for the purchase of flood storage volume in North Landing Lake, Program No. SW1170.

BACKGROUND

On March 23, 2010, the Cobb County Board of Commissioners approved an agreement with the North Landing Homeowners Association, Inc. to purchase approximately 1.75 million cubic feet of flood storage volume in North Landing Lake (Land Lots 124 and 165 of the 16th District) for $297,411.60. The additional freeboard created between the top of the dam and the new normal pool level will help reduce downstream impacts of flood flows and improve reliability of the dam. The agreement was subsequently executed on April 9, 2010, with a four year term. This agreement provides that:

“… All work by OWNER or its contractors associated with this Agreement shall be completed, if feasible, within four years from the date of execution of the Agreement by the COUNTY, However, the COUNTY recognizes and acknowledges that delays in the process of adjusting or repairing the Dam may occur in association with the approval by governmental authorities, including the Georgia Safe Dams Program, and that any delays in such approval shall provide a basis for extending the applicable four–year period of such delay without penalty to OWNER under this Agreement.”

Plans to renovate the dam were submitted to the State Safe Dams Program by Walden Ashworth Associates on January 13, 2012. Comments on these plans were received from the State on May 1, 2014. Walden Ashworth responded to the State’s comments and resubmitted plans on June 10, 2014. Final approval of the plans is expected by the end of August, 2014; however, the four year

time period for this contract expired on April 9, 2014. Subject to the Storage Volume Purchase Agreement with Cobb County remaining in force, the North Landing Homeowner’s Association has expressed their intention to hire a contractor and proceed with the necessary dam repair work without delay. Because the delays to this project were not attributable to the North Landing Homeowners Association, the Water System recommends extending the term of the agreement with Cobb County through August 12, 2017.

FUNDING Previously approved.

RECOMMENDATION The Board of Commissioners approve Supplemental Agreement No. 1 providing a time extension through August 12, 2017, to an agreement with the North Landing Homeowners Association, Inc. for the purchase of flood storage volume in North Landing Lake, Program No. SW1170; authorize the corresponding budget transactions; and further authorize the Chairman to execute the necessary documents.

PURPOSE To authorize the creation of a Pedestrian Enhancement District in the Cumberland Community Improvement District.

BACKGROUND

On November 3, 2006, Cobb County and the Cumberland Community Improvement District (CCID) entered into a Cooperation Agreement, as required by state law, to allow for the joint provision of services between the County and the CCID. On October 25, 2011, the Board of Commissioners approved an Amendment to the Cooperation Agreement, which created a Street Light District and a Pedestrian Light District for all roadways within the CCID and defined responsibilities relating to the provision of street light and pedestrian light services.

PURPOSE To determine that circumstances are such that it is necessary to proceed with condemnation proceedings by Declaration of Taking under O.C.G.A. §32-3-4, et seq., on two parcels on Windy Hill Road (East), Project No. E4020.

BACKGROUND

Windy Hill Road (East) is an approved thoroughfare improvements project in the 2011 SPLOST Transportation Improvements Program (TIP). The project includes construction of an additional westbound lane on Windy Hill Road, from Powers Ferry Road to Spectrum Circle, for a project length of 0.12 miles. Additional rights-of-way and easements are needed to construct this project. Right-of-way funding for this project is available in the 2011 SPLOST TIP Fund approved budget. Negotiations with the property owners are ongoing; however, in order to ensure project deadlines are met, the Department is requesting condemnation approval by the Board of Commissioners in the event negotiations are unsuccessful, and the Land Acquisition Review Committee, consisting of the Department’s Development Services, Right-of-Way and Construction staff, and the County’s Legal personnel, recommends condemnation actions be filed. Under appropriate circumstances, as are more fully set forth under the provisions of O.C.G.A. §32-3-4, the County is authorized to acquire real property interests by the Declaration of Taking method. It is appropriate for the County to use this method for reasons including, but not limited to, a desire for judicial ascertainment of all issues pertaining to the acquisition.

On October 9, 2012, the Board approved the Transfer, Assignment, and Consent Agreements for the transfer of both the North and South FBO Leases and Operating Agreements to Atlanta Executive Jet Center, LLC (AEJC). On December 20, 2012, the Board approved Lease Amendment No. 3 to the AEJC South FBO Lease and Operating Agreement requiring AEJC to comply with new obligations, including reimbursement to the County for expenses associated with providing customs inspection services, per terms of the MOA with CBP, for a minimum of 10 years, and constructing and providing a facility that meets the standards defined in the MOA. AEJC will be permitted to collect fees from users of the customs inspection services.

Comm. Dist. 2


of 213

On April 9, 2013, the Board approved Lease Amendment No. 4 to the AEJC South FBO Lease and Operations Agreement which established that the County would manage the design and construction of the Customs Inspection Facility, in accordance with established County policies. AEJC is to provide 100 percent contract funding prior to the County executing architectural or construction contracts, to include reimbursement of miscellaneous expenditures within 14 days of notification. The County will be responsible for all coordination required with Federal/State agencies and other parties to streamline the construction phase of the project and to coordinate efforts with CBP. On June 10, 2014, the Board approved Transfer, Assignment and Consent Agreement and Estoppels of the Atlanta Executive Jet Center, LLC, North and South Fixed Base Operator (FBO) Lease and Operating Agreements to Hawthorne Global Aviation Services, LLC, (Hawthorne) requiring Hawthorne to assume and perform all of the covenants, agreements, provisions, and obligations of AEJC under the current North and South FBO Leases. On June 18, 2014, CBP approved the plans for construction of the new Customs Inspection Facility. Concurrent with this agenda item, Property Management and the Department are jointly presenting an agenda item to the Board requesting approval of a Construction Manager-at-Risk contract with YLH Construction Company, Inc., for construction of the Customs Inspection Facility, which establishes the construction budget of $799,241.00.

Lease Amendment No. 5 requires Hawthorne to submit a $150,000.00 initial payment to Cobb County for estimated construction costs. At the end of each month during construction, the contractor’s approved pay application will be forwarded to Hawthorne. Hawthorne will have 21 days to review the pay application and submit payment to Cobb County for the full amount requested.

Amendment No. 5 to the Hawthorne South FBO Lease and Operating Agreement has been reviewed by the County Attorney's Office.

FUNDING N/A

RECOMMENDATION The Board of Commissioners approve Lease Amendment No. 5 to the Hawthorne Global Aviation Services, LLC, South Fixed Based Operator Lease and Operating Agreement for the funding of the construction of the Customs Inspection Facility at Cobb County Airport-McCollum Field; and authorize the Chairman to execute the necessary documents.

PURPOSE To authorize procurement of professional services for marketing and outreach of the Cobb Community Transit Flex Zone transit service pilot program.

BACKGROUND

On March 11, 2014, the Board of Commissioners authorized the implementation of the Cobb Community Transit (CCT) service and operating delivery plan for the Flex Zone transit service pilot program. The new Flex Zone transit service will operate in Commission District 4, where FY11 service reductions eliminated two of CCT’s lowest-performing routes. Service is slated to begin operation in Fall 2014, connecting riders within three zone areas not currently served by existing CCT routes: Powder Springs Road (Green Zone); Powder Springs (Blue Zone); and Austell (Red Zone). Flex Zone transit service will be operated utilizing one small accessible bus per zone. Riders may call for pick-up at designated locations within the zone areas for a trip destination to the nearest CCT fixed route bus stop. For trips originating on a CCT fixed route, riders may call for drop-off at designated locations within the zone areas. Reservations are required to use the Flex Zone transit service, and must be made at least two hours in advance of requested pick-up/drop-off. The Department recommends securing professional services for marketing and outreach efforts to promote the new Flex Zone transit service and inform the community how to use the service. Veolia Transportation, Inc., the current CCT operating service provider who will be implementing/operating the Flex Zone transit service, has proposed to also provide the necessary marketing service, in an amount not to exceed $49,950.00.

Comm. Dist.

All


of 213

The proposed marketing plan will consist of public outreach, photography, printing, texting, and administrative support services. On May 27, 2014, the Board adopted a resolution authorizing the submission of an FY14 Section 5307 Grant application (GA-90-X337) to the Federal Transit Administration, in which funds were budgeted for various operating projects. Federal funding will provide 50 percent of the proposed marketing costs, not to exceed $24,975.00. The 50 percent local match required, in an amount not to exceed $24,975.00, is available in the Transit Division’s FY14 Operating Budget.

FUNDING Federal and local funding is available in the Transit Division’s FY14 Operating Budget with the following budget transfer:

Transfer from: 200-050-4802-4802-6327 (Operator Service Fees) $49,950.00

Transfer to: 200-050-4802-4802-6326 (Professional Services)$49,950.00

RECOMMENDATION The Board of Commissioners authorize the procurement of professional services from Veolia Transportation, Inc., for marketing and outreach of the Cobb Community Transit Flex Zone transit service pilot program; and further authorize the corresponding budget transactions.

PURPOSE To ratify previous authorization by the County Manager for payment to Georgia Master Plumbing for emergency sanitary sewer repairs, and approve a contract with Hearing Plumbing for relocation of the sanitary sewer line at the Smyrna Health Facility.

BACKGROUND We have been experiencing serious drainage issues with the sanitary sewer that serves the Smyrna Health Facility located at 3830 South Cobb Drive in Smyrna. The Health Department and Community Service Board occupy the facility. The sewer is made of a clay-like terracotta material which has reached its useful life evidenced by several collapsed areas and infiltration at joints by tree roots. Repair/replacements have been made in the past and the most recent emergency repair approved by the County Manager uncovered multiple failed areas that have been repaired by Georgia Master Plumbing at a cost of $16,905.00. The City of Smyrna Water Department continues to pressure water jet the line as needed to keep the line in use but at any time the line could collapse and fail again.

The long term solution involves rerouting the sanitary sewer to a new tap closer to the building and is recommended by the City of Smyrna. We recommend this replacement which will be performed with current code compliant materials.

Property Management received quotes from three qualified plumbing contractors for the new sewer line and tap as follows:

Hearing Plumbing $29,050.00

PURPOSE To authorize the Cobb County Police Department to amend the public auction process for forfeited firearms as required under Georgia Law to also include the option to use an electronic online auction by a Licensed Federal Firearms Dealer.

BACKGROUND On March 25, 2014, the Board of Commissioners (BOC) approved a public auction process for the Cobb County Police Department (CCPD) to dispose of forfeited firearms as required by O.C.G.A. § 17-5-52.1. Pursuant to that approved process, the CCPD held the first public auction of forfeited firearms on April 26, 2014, at the Cobb Emergency Operations Center. The CCPD now requests BOC approval to amend the CCPD’s public auction process to include the option to dispose of forfeited firearms through an electronic online auction by a Licensed Federal Firearms Dealer. This electronic online auction method complies with O.C. G. A. § 17-5-52.1. An electronic online auction will increase the exposure to authorized purchasers for the forfeited firearms and potentially increase revenues.

FUNDING Funds from any electronic online public auction will be appropriated as previously approved by the BOC per the March 25, 2014 agenda item.

RECOMMENDATION The Board of Commissioners authorize the Cobb County Police Department to amend the public auction process for forfeited firearms to include the option to use an electronic online auction by a Licensed Federal Firearms Dealer; authorize future electronic online public firearm auctions as required by O.C.G.A. 17-5-52.1; and further authorize the Police Chief or his designee to transfer the firearms to winning bidders at the conclusion of all auctions.

PURPOSE To authorize the purchase of a replacement Rescue Boat and Transport Trailer.

BACKGROUND The Cobb County Fire & Emergency Services (CCFES) Technical Rescue Team (TRT) responds to water rescues in the area of the Chattahoochee River, Lake Allatoona, and any other body of water within Cobb County. In June 2014, the TRT’s primary rescue boat (Boat 4) was damaged beyond repair in an accident. The Team is currently using their non-motorized inflatable boat, which has limited their water rescue capabilities.

CCFES is requesting to purchase a replacement for the damaged rescue boat. The replacement boat would be equipped with a rigid aluminum hull that is designed for shallow water operations. This boat would be equipped with an inboard Mercury 200 horsepower jet-drive engine protected by a tunnel-hull design, a reinforced bottom, four (4) high-intensity LED scene lights, and a center console-operated design. The total cost of the replacement rescue boat, including a transport trailer and delivery fee, is approximately $62,000.00. This craft will meet all the rescue requirements of the CCFES TRT, as well as providing support for law enforcement activities on the water.

PURPOSE To authorize all budget transactions necessary for the final close-out of the FY 2014 budgets of the General Fund, the other operating funds, and the 800 MHz Radio Capital Fund.

BACKGROUND As in prior-years, various departments will require additional funding or the reallocation of existing funding to complete the 2014 fiscal year. The county financial system controls do not permit deficit spending at the department-category level, therefore all potential deficits or shortages require fund and/or departmental budget adjustments to prevent year-end deficits. Year-end savings will be transferred as necessary to prevent year-end deficits. These transfers may include those in or out of personal services, operating, debt service, capital and contingency categories. In addition, revenue budgets may be increased or decreased to match actual receipts and as necessary, to prevent expenditure deficits. As a last resort, fund balances may be appropriated into 2014 to cover any remaining potential deficits. The County Manager will review and approve these budget transactions that allow the final year-end expenditure transactions to post properly in the financial system for 2014 year-end close-out. A summary of these transactions will be brought before the Board of Commissioners for final approval at a later date.

FUNDING

As necessary for the FY 2014 year-end close-out of the General Fund, the other operating funds and the 800 MHz Radio Capital Fund: Increase/Decrease Revenue Appropriations to match actual receipts. Increase/Decrease Expenditure Appropriations to match actual expenditures.

Cobb County Code 2-49 provides for revisions to the adopted budget during the year only by formal action of the commission in a regular meeting.

NOTE: Chairman Lee paused the meeting briefly while he executed the

Intergovernmental Agreement.

15B. ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION IMPOSING A SPECIAL PURPOSE

LOCAL OPTION SALES TAX – BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

Chairman Lee opened the discussion on the resolution imposing a Special

Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST). Discussion among the Board

ensued, and Commissioner Cupid asked that any motion made include the

following language:

“Cobb County may not accept any federal, state, or other grants

that use any projects on this SPLOST as matching investments to

qualify to receive grants for any fixed guideway transit.”

Commissioner Birrell said she feels the BRT and any projects related to

the BRT should be decided by the voters, and directed that her comment be

included in the minutes.

As discussion continued, it was determined that some of the

Commissioners had not realized that in approving the Intergovernmental

Agreement (see 15A above), they were also approving Exhibit A to the

Agreement, which is the project list. Following discussion with Ms. Deborah

Dance, County Attorney, the following motion was made:

MOTION: Motion by Cupid, second by Ott, to reconsider the vote on Tab 12,

Item 1 (see 15A of these minutes).

BY THE 2016 SPECIAL PURPOSE LOCAL OPTION SALES TAX

– BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

A robust discussion ensued among the Board regarding Exhibit A (the

project list) to the Intergovernmental Agreement. Following this discussion, the

following motion was made:

MOTION: Motion by Lee, to approve an Intergovernmental Agreement between

Cobb County and the Municipalities within the County for the payment of various

Municipal Improvement Funds anticipated to be generated by the 2016 Special

Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) and other purposes; and authorize the

Chairman to execute the necessary documents, with the following revisions to

Exhibit A:

• Remove pages 12-14

• Remove the project entitled “Cobb Parkway and Associated Corridor,

Intersection and Pedestrian Improvements” from page 9, Tier 2 Projects;

and transfer $26,000,000.00 from this project to the project entitled

“Pedestrian Improvements” increasing its estimated cost from

$10,000,000.00 to $36,000,000.00

• Revise the project description for the project entitled “Pedestrian

Improvements” as follows: “Construction of sidewalks, trails, and other

pedestrian and bike path improvements along roadways . . .”

• Add the following language: “Cobb County may not accept any federal,

state, or other grants that use any projects on this SPLOST as matching

investments to qualify to receive grants for any fixed guideway transit.”

The above motion died for lack of a second.

Further discussion ensued between the Board and Ms. Dance; additionally,

Ms. Julie Livingston, Deputy County Attorney, was asked to provide clarification.

Following additional questions and information provided by Ms. Dance, the

following motion was made:

MOTION by Lee, second by Cupid, to approve an Intergovernmental Agreement

with the Municipalities within the County for the payment of various Municipal

Improvement Funds anticipated to be generated by the 2016 Special Purpose

Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) and other purposes, and authorize the

Chairman to execute the necessary documents, with the following revisions to

Exhibit A of the Intergovernmental Agreement:

• p. 8 shall be revised to read: “Construction of sidewalks, trails, and other

pedestrian and bike path improvements along roadways . . . . “

• p. 9 – remove the project titled “Cobb Parkway and Associated Corridor,

Intersection and Pedestrian Improvements,” and transfer $26,000,000.00

from this project to the project entitled “Pedestrian Improvements,”

increasing its estimated cost from $10,000,000.00 to $36,000,000.00

• p. 11 – remove project titled “Cobb Parkway/US 41/ SR 3”

• Emphasize that the purpose of the 2016 SPLOST does not include funding

for the BRT/Connect Cobb project, by placing a message in the document

in a typeface of sufficient size and location in the document so as to make

it easily identifiable and understandable.

PURPOSE To approve the revised budget and schedule for the 2005 Transportation Improvements Program, funded primarily by the 2005 Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax.

BACKGROUND

The 2005 SPLOST Transportation Improvements Program (TIP) was adopted by the Board of Commissioners on June 14, 2005, and approved by the voters of Cobb County on September 20, 2005. On October 27, 1992, the Board of Commissioners approved the Budget Variance Procedure for the TIP. This procedure requires a budget for each project by phase of work as follows: Engineering, Right-of-Way, Construction, Utilities, and Miscellaneous. Additionally, expenses within a project cannot be authorized for payment above the approved project budget without Board approval for the transfer of additional budget funds from another source. All budget transfers within the TIP will be accomplished in compliance with these established procedures. On January 10, 2006, the Board adopted the initial budget for the 2005 SPLOST TIP and the initial project schedule was adopted on February 14, 2006. On March 13, 2007, August 14, 2007, February 12, 2008, March 10, 2009, August 25, 2009, February 23, 2010, October 26, 2010, June 14, 2011, July 24, 2012, and July 9, 2013, the Board approved adjustments to the 2005 SPLOST TIP budget and schedule. On August 26, 2008, the Board approved adjustments to the 2005 SPLOST TIP budget only.

All


of 213

The revised budget for the 2005 SPLOST TIP includes all projects approved at the inception of the program, all previous Board approved/new budget transfers and adjustments to various projects, and is funded primarily with 2005 SPLOST revenues and interest. Other revenue sources in the proposed budget include the Georgia Department of Transportation, the Cumberland Community Improvement District, the Town Center Area Community Improvement District, and miscellaneous revenues.

FUNDING Available in the 2005 SPLOST Transportation Improvements Program Fund per the adjustments in the attached 2005 SPLOST TIP Budget and Schedule.

RECOMMENDATION The Board of Commissioners approve the revised budget and schedule for the 2005 Transportation Improvements Program (TIP), funded primarily by the 2005 Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST); and authorize the corresponding budget transactions.

BACKGROUND

Clay Road Sidewalk is an approved project in the Sidewalks Component of the 2005 SPLOST Transportation Improvements Program (TIP). This project consists of 1.63 miles of 5-foot wide sidewalk on the south side of Clay Road, from Austell Road to Mable Lake Drive. Two culverts will be extended to accommodate sidewalk across the Buttermilk Creek Tributary and the Clay Branch Creek Tributary. On August 12, 2008, the Board of Commissioners approved a Transportation Enhancement Memorandum of Understanding with the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) for the Clay Road Sidewalk project. The Transportation Enhancement program is a federally funded program managed by GDOT. The goal of this program is to enhance transportation infrastructures through projects such as multi-use trails and paths, streetscapes, and historic preservation of transportation-related facilities and scenic byways.

PURPOSE To approve Supplemental Agreement No. 1 to the contract with Parsons Transportation Group, Inc., to complete the design of roadway safety and operational improvements on West Sandtown Road, Phase 2, Project No. D6250, MIS Contract No. 000173.

BACKGROUND

West Sandtown Road is an approved roadway safety and operational improvements project in the 2005 SPLOST Transportation Improvements Program (TIP). The project consists of providing engineering services to update the design of improvements to West Sandtown Road, from just south of Macland Road to just south of Mullins Pass/Sarina Drive. Proposed improvements include adding curb and gutter with associated drainage structures, five-foot wide sidewalks on both sides of the roadway, lane widening, traffic signal upgrades, and turn lanes, as warranted. The total project length is approximately 0.45 miles. On January 22, 2008, the Board of Commissioners approved a contract with Parsons Transportation Group, Inc., for the design of roadway safety and operational improvements for West Sandtown Road. On August 25, 2009, the Board approved the updated budget and schedule for the 2005 SPLOST TIP. Due to a projected shortfall of SPLOST revenue collections attributed to the economic recession, a portion of this project was deferred until funding became available to proceed. On July 9, 2013, the Board approved the updated budget and schedule for the 2005 SPLOST TIP, and re-established the budgets on projects which were previously deferred or delayed due to budget impacts resulting from decreased SPLOST revenue collections. West Sandtown Road

PURPOSE To approve Change Order No. 1 (final) to the contract with Chatfield Contracting, Inc., for drainage system repairs on Brookside Drive, Project No. E2220, MIS Contract No. 000780.

BACKGROUND

Drainage System Improvements is an approved component in the 2011 SPLOST Transportation Improvements Program. Brookside Drive is classified as a local residential street on the County’s Major Thoroughfare Plan. The existing culvert crossing in the vicinity of 5866 Brookside Drive consists of one 36-inch corrugated metal pipe. The pipe invert had deteriorated, the headwalls were failing, and the roadway shoulders needed to be stabilized behind the headwalls. The project scope included replacing 20 feet of existing 36-inch corrugated metal pipe on the downstream end, lining the existing 36-inch corrugated metal pipe with "Cured-In-Place Pipe Lining", reattaching both headwalls, pressure grouting the voids around the pipe, and stabilizing the roadway shoulders. On December 11, 2012, the Board of Commissioners approved the 2013 Countywide Unit Price Contracts. In an effort to ensure the most competitive pricing possible, current Unit Price Contractors were given the opportunity to offer quotes for this project, reflecting current market conditions. On April 22, 2014, the Board approved a contract with Chatfield Contracting, Inc., for drainage system repairs on Brookside Drive.

PURPOSE To approve Change Order No. 1 (final) to the contract with Chatfield Contracting, Inc., for drainage system repairs on Lake Fjord Pass, Project No. E2490, MIS Contract No. 000775.

BACKGROUND

Drainage System Improvements is an approved component in the 2011 SPLOST Transportation Improvements Program. Lake Fjord Pass is classified as a local road on the County’s Major Thoroughfare Plan. The inlet of the 18-inch corrugated metal pipe has failed. This caused the shoulder to collapse adjacent to the roadway in the vicinity of 4890 Lake Fjord Pass, which needed to be repaired prior to scheduled roadway resurfacing. The Department recommended drainage improvements to include replacement of one section of 18-inch pipe, grading, reconstruction of the shoulder, and curb and gutter to improve drainage patterns. On December 11, 2012, the Board of Commissioners approved the 2013 Countywide Unit Price Contracts. On November 26, 2013, the Board approved Project No. E2390-WO#02 to the 2013 Countywide Unit Price Contract with American Contractors Grading and Paving, Inc., for drainage system improvements on Lake Fjord Pass. During construction it was determined that the entire existing corrugated metal pipe drainage system had deteriorated beyond repair and would need to be replaced. Due to the significant increase in scope of work, American Contractors Grading and Paving, Inc., was directed to stabilize the disturbed area and demobilize from the site.

Comm. Dist. 2

PURPOSE To authorize the purchase of stream mitigation credits from Mitigation Credit Sales, LLC, for stream impacts associated with Circle 75 Parkway Culvert Improvements, Project No. E2260.

BACKGROUND

Circle 75 Parkway Culvert Improvements is an approved drainage system improvements project in the 2011 SPLOST Transportation Improvements Program. This project consists of the repair of an existing drainage culvert under Circle 75 Parkway to include lining the failing triple 96-inch corrugated metal pipes with steel casing to re-establish the integrity of the pipes and minimize impacts to existing utilities and traffic. The upstream and downstream headwalls will also be reconstructed as a part of the project. The total project length is 500 feet. The proposed repairs will impact 144 linear feet of perennial and intermittent streams in the project area. Mitigation for the disturbance of streams is a requirement of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Section 404 Nationwide Permits #14 and #33, which have been submitted for this project. It has been determined that on-site mitigation is not feasible. A purchase of 450.5 stream mitigation credits, in an amount not to exceed $15,767.50, from Wauka Mountain Bank, an approved USACE stream bank managed by Mitigation Credit Sales, LLC, has been determined to be the appropriate solution for the required stream mitigation.

PURPOSE To authorize procurement of proprietary software and professional services for the upgrade and enhancement of the Cartegraph work and asset management software system, MIS No. 000815, and authorize the procurement of associated hardware and software, Project No. E5050.

BACKGROUND

Transportation Technology is an approved project in the Traffic Management, Traffic Signal Timing, and Planning Component in the 2011 SPLOST Transportation Improvements Program. This project includes upgrades and enhancements to the Cartegraph work and asset management software system. On August 26, 2003, the Board of Commissioners approved a contract with Cartegraph Systems, Inc., for implementation of the Department’s third generation work management system, which includes pavement asset management functionality. The Department has periodically upgraded the Cartegraph system to include, most recently, implementation of YourGov and remote access for traffic signal maintenance staff. The benefits of these upgrades have included improved citizen access and more efficient traffic signal maintenance. Details for action requested are as follows: The Department recommends upgrading to Operations Management System (OMS), Cartegraph’s current technology and software system. The Department also recommends an additional upgrade to unlimited licensing to continue to improve citizen access, asset management for the lowest life cycle cost for roadway pavement, and maintenance and work management.

Comm. Dist.

All


of 213

Additional benefits include facilitating expansion of the system to other divisions within the Department and other departments in the County. The Water System currently utilizes Cartegraph on a limited basis, and the Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Affairs Department is considering implementing this system to make their work and asset management more efficient. The Department recommends procurement of professional services and proprietary software for the upgrade of the Cartegraph asset and work management system, at a cost not to exceed $238,700.00, and procurement of associated hardware and software, at a cost not to exceed $22,800.00. Established County purchasing procedures will be followed for these procurements, including utilization of State Contract, as applicable.

IMPACT STATEMENT Annual software renewal, maintenance, and support fees will increase from $45,000.00 to $83,400.00, beginning in FY16, due to an increase in the number of licenses. This cost is reflected in the Department’s FY15/16 Biennial Budget request.

FUNDING Available in the 2011 SPLOST Transportation Improvement Program Fund with the following budget transfers:

Transfer from: 345-050-E005-E505-8721-E5050-E (Preliminary Estimate) $261,500.00

PURPOSE To approve a contract with AllStar Lighting & Electrical Service, Inc. for the installation of new sports lighting poles, fixtures and related equipment to serve athletic field lighting at Milford Park under the 2011 Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs SPLOST Program.

BACKGROUND In 2002, Cobb County assumed ownership and operation of Milford Park located at Hicks Road, Marietta. A variety of improvements have been completed at the park since then, but additional work remains to be done to bring the park to current standards. This includes improvements to athletic field lighting and related electrical upgrades, which are an approved athletic field renovation component of the 2011 Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs SPLOST Program. The new poles and energy-efficient lights will provide brighter and more even coverage of the fields, increasing playability and safety. The project scope includes the replacement of seven existing wooden poles with new spun concrete poles, the installation of new energy efficient fixtures, related wiring and disconnects to serve the baseball fields, as well as installing new electrical conduit and wiring. Current overhead wiring in the park will be replaced by underground wiring. On April 1, 2013, following a competitive bidding process, the County approved a county-wide Annual Contract with AllStar Lighting & Electrical Service to cover light pole removal and replacement and related electrical materials and services.

PURPOSE To approve a contract with W. E. Contracting Company, Inc. for construction services related to redevelopment at Powder Springs Park under the 2011 Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs SPLOST Program.

BACKGROUND

The 2011 Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs SPLOST program includes the redevelopment of Powder Springs Park, located at 3899 Brownsville Road, Powder Springs. This project is jointly funded by the County and the City of Powder Springs, with the County as the sponsor. Many of the features in the park were originally constructed in the mid 1970s, and have outlived their reasonable service life. The park is subject to flooding from the adjacent creek. Working with the City and with the volunteer athletic association active in the park, staff has identified a number of features to be redeveloped, and has included these on a newly prepared Master Plan for the park. These features include the redevelopment of the rear baseball fields into a five-field hub, construction of a new concession/restroom building and a new maintenance building, along with additional parking. Further, the swimming pool at the park will be demolished and replaced with a seasonal water feature at the nearby Wild Horse Creek Park. The updated facilities are intended to weather typical flooding events more efficiently and will provide a significant improvement for ball players, coaches, and other park visitors. Under a previously approved contract, Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs retained the services of a professional architecture and engineering team to create construction documents sufficient to permit the work and to include in a bid package to obtain competitive bids for construction.

BACKGROUND

Cobb County has been pursuing a location on which to build a new regional library that would accommodate the citizens of the cities of both Kennesaw and Acworth. The property located at the corner of Old Highway 41 and Blue Springs Road, approximately 6.01 acres in Land Lot 105, has been presented to Cobb County as a possible location for such a regional library. An agreement to buy the property pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement has been reached with the seller at a purchase price of $800,000.00. Under the terms of the agreement, the County will have a period of 60 days after the contract is signed to perform inspections and investigations of the property to determine its suitability for construction of the library. The County may terminate the contract within the investigation period if it determines, in its sole discretion, that the property is not acceptable for the proposed use. Appropriated funds will be required to perform the investigations of the property. Such investigations will include a title examination and survey. An environmental Phase I and test borings of the property are necessary to determine whether positive sub soil conditions exist for construction of this regional library.

I currently am working in the BOH kitchen as an expo. Previously, I was a server for 2 years at the same establishment. I moved to the BOH due to the suspension and denial of my liquor permit in September of 2013.

11. What are the policies and procedures of the establishment?

The policies and procedures of Taco Mac are given to employees at orientation when they are hired and are required a signature of understanding of the companies policies. They do not allow employees to drink alcohol nor use drugs before nor during a shift. Taco Mac also requires every person provide a government-issued I.D., no matter how old they look. Every guest must provide this to the servers, bartenders, and managers to receive an alcoholic beverage. Also, no guest with an expired I.D. may purchase an alcoholic beverage. If an employee violates these rules, it is an automatic termination with no re-hire. Taco Mac aims to provide guests a family-friendly atmosphere, they implement a maximum of six standard alcoholic beverages per guest rule. If a server/bartender were to over-serve a guest, they receive punishment of either a suspension for a first offense or termination for a second offense.

12. What type of training does the establishment have for employees?

13. Is this the primary source of income for you?

The type of training Taco Mac implements and encourages employees to do so are TIPS and ServSafe.

Yes, Taco Mac is the primary source of income for me.

14. What have you done to ensure that you do not violate the law/ordinances in the future? ie - change of friends, change of address, change of life style

I have changed my lifestyle around, I do not drink nor abuse drugs. The ways I have done this is by having self-control and self-discipline. When I move to the BOH, I took a major pay decrease. This made me evaluate my life and where I want to be in the future. Drinking alcohol is something I no longer wanted in my life due to all the hardships it has brought on me. I changed friend circles, and began doing things that would be better me and my future.

15. Do you have a support mechanism such as family, friends, spouse, children, church, etc?

Family

16. Are you going to school?

Yes

17. If so, what is your grade point average?

3.0

18. What assurance can you provide the LRB that you will not sell/provide alcohol in violation of State or County Law?

I guarantee assurance to the LRB that I will not sell/provide alcohol in violation of State or County Law. Prior to the suspension, I have never sold to a minor nor violated any laws. Taco Mac has a policy that every guest that orders an alcoholic beverage must require a government issued I.D. no matter what age they look. Every guest must be provide an identification. Due to this policy, I have denied selling alcohol to minors as well as had management confiscate the I.D.`s that were provided. I also pay very good attention to expiration dates, that most people tend to forget to check. Taco Mac will not sell to any person that has an expired I.D., this information is provided in the handbook that I have signed.

19. Why should the LRB grant the permit?

PAGE: 2 7/31/2014 12:17:05 PM136416


of 213

If willing to do so, the LRB shall grant me the permit due to my complete understanding of the selling/providing alcohol of State and County Laws. I have been employed by Taco Mac since January of 2011. During my time I have worked for Taco Mac, I have never had a write-up, suspension, nor termination due to the strict policies and procedures of alcohol sales. I have never had a suspension nor termination due to other offenses non-alcohol related.

20. What evidence can you provide the LRB that you understand State and County law regarding the sale and service of alcohol?

I have researched State and County law on the sale and service of alcohol. I fully understand the laws and regulations that have been put in place.

21. What has the impact been on you and the ones around you due to your criminal actions?

The DUI has impacted my life in every area. Due to the second DUI, I had to take a pay decrease and struggled to pay bills and make it through college. This has made me revaluate the direction I was going and whether or not if living that lifestyle was worth it. I have been working in the BOH for nearly eight months, and it has taught me so much self-discipline. I was unable to attend school the fall 2013 and spring 2014 semesters at Kennesaw State University due to the inability to provide for myself while working in the BOH and the hourly-pay I receive. The self-control I have learned will stay with me for the rest of my life. I have been very humbled. If I am granted the liquor permit, I will make nearly twice the pay I receive currently. My goals, if it shall be granted, are to pay for the sentencing requirements as well as save to attend my last year of school starting in the Fall of 2014.
