    DATE:November 11, 2014

    PURPOSE

    To approvethe CobbCounty Water System's Scheduleof Rates, Charges,and Fees.

    BACKGROUND

    Responsibilityfor stormwater operationswithin unincorporatedCobbCounty are sharedby theCobbCounty Departmentof Trans portation (gen erallyinfrastructure within Cobb Countyrightsof way) and the CobbCounty Water System (generallydedicatedinfrastructure not within rightsof way). Stormwater infrastructure within incorporated cities in Cobb County is theresponsibility of those cities, although it should be noted thatthe cities gain benefit from theefforts of the County with respectto flood plain mapping,grant procurement,andotherCounty-wide issues.

    Funding for the Water System s stormwater managementoperation is provided by revenuescollected through water/ sewer fees, connectionfees, and other miscellaneous revenues. Forthose residentsof cities within CobbCounty who aredirectly provided with water/ sewer by theCobb County Water System, a small portion of their monthly fees may be allocated to the

    maintenanceof stormwater infrastructurein unincorporatedCobbCounty.

    Based on an analysisof FY14 revenuesand expenses, it has beendetermined that 2. 52% ofFY14 Water Systemexpenses were related to stormwater management. It should be noted that0. 05% of the expenses were relatedto County- wideflood plain mapping that benefitedresidentsof the cities as well as unincorporated Cobb. Taking into consideration this adjustment, itappears that 2. 47% of the Water System s FY14 expenses were related to stormwater activitiesbenefiting only unincorporatedCobbCounty.

    In order to address this situation, he Water System proposes to reduce rates to its customersPage 16 of 152

    17/152

    AgendaItem Number.1

    who are residents of cities within CobbCounty by 2. 47% as compared with residents ofunincorporated Cobb County. It s anticipated that this adjustment will be reconsidered eachyear on the basis of the previous fiscal year s audited results. No adjustment is proposed foryears prior to 2015.

    For the currentyear, noting that revenuesfrom commodity charges (the charge per thousandgallons used) make upon averageabout 85. 2% of revenuesfrom user charges, it is proposedthat the commodity charges to city residents be reduced by 2. 90% and that the base chargeremain the same as that for residentsof unincorporated Cobb, esulting in an overall reductionin the cost of water/ sewerservice to city residents of 2. 47%. This is accomplished by theaddition of a column headed In- City under RETAIL RATES in the proposed schedule,showing the slightly reducedrates for city residents.

    It should be noted that the unit cost of potable water purchased from the CobbCounty-MariettaWater Authority is expected to increase by 4% s of January 1, 015. Despitethis increase,the Water Systemproposes no change in its water and sewerrates for 2015except the minor decrease for city residents discussed above.

    PURPOSE

    To authorizethe advertisementfor and conductof a public hearing to securepotential consultantservicesfor program managementof the County' s Street Light Program.

    BACKGROUND

    TheCounty s Street Light Program wasinitiated in 1979andallows for the creation of StreetLight Districts ( SLDs) whichare geographicareas, often comprising a residential subdivision,where lights are installed and all properties within those districts are assessed a monthly chargefor the service. There are currently over 3, 000 such districts withinthe County, which includeapproximately 116,000 SLD customers. The current rate for this service is $ 3. 50 per month,which was establishedby the Board of Commissionerson June 23, 1987.

    On October 26, 2010, he Board establisheda Special Revenue Fund to segregate the SLDrevenue and expenditureaccounting from the General Fund street light expenditures. Thisensures that all SLD revenuecollected is accounted for within the SLD Fundand is utilized

    exclusively for SLD operations. Thecost for providing energy to the SLDs representsover 94percent of the totalSLD budgeted expenditures; he remaining 6 percentincludes costsassociated with daily operations, management,and oversight of the SLD activities. The ratescharged by the power companies providing energy services for the Street Light Programcontinue to steadily increase. In an effort to reduce the overall program operating costs, it hasbeen proposed thatthe Departmentconsiderissuing a Request for Proposals ( RFP) to solicitbids to procure consultantservicesto perform the daily operations, managementand oversightfunctions of the Street Light Program. Currently, hese activities are performed by County staffutilizing two full- ime employees andone full- ime employee whose time is split equallybetweenthe Street Light Programand theUtilities Permittingsection.

    AgendaItem Number.8

    The FederalAviation Administration ( FAA) equires that airports maintainsafe approaches tothe runways. In order to achievethis objective, he FAA has createda RunwayProtection Zoneto enhance the protection of people and property on the groundnearrunway ends. The StoneForest leaseholdproperty lies below the designatedRPZ.

    The FAA prefers that airports own the property withinthe RPZ so that the airport may exercisethe necessary controls to clear the RPZs of obstructions and incompatible activities.Incompatible land uses includethose that result in public assemblies.Examples of land usesprohibited are churches, office buildings, shopping centers, fuel storage facilitiesandresidences.

    In addition, he FAA requires that airports be asself- sustaining as possible under the

    circumstances existing at any particular airport. Therefore, he FAA encourages airports toconsider all possiblecompatible revenuesources, ncluding non- aeronautical revenue sources,within RPZs.

    AmendmentNo. 2 to the Leaseand Operating Agreementwith StoneForest has been reviewedby the CountyAttorney' s Office.

    PURPOSE

    To approve an amendmentto the dependenteligibility for dental benefits for County employees'dependents.

    BACKGROUND

    In 2012 the AffordableCare Act ( ACA) equired amendmentsfor eligibility for dependentsinhealthbenefits providing coveragefor all eligible dependentsup to age 26 whether or not theyare a full- ime student as was previously in place. This eligibility was not revised for the Countydental benefits. This benefit continued to require any dependentage 19 to 26 to be a full- imestudentfor a majority of theplan year in order to be eligible for benefits.

    Since this changeby the ACA, many employers have mirrored the eligibiity of dental benefits tomatch the new provisisions required under the ACA for health benefits. The changecreatesconfusionamong many employees. In discussion withour benefitsconsultant and our dentalprovider we understand making the dental benefit eligibility match the health benefit eligibilitydoes not result in a cost impact to the benefit. This change would no longerrequire studentverification for dependentdental benefits.

    FUNDING

    N A

    RECOMMENDATION

    The Board of Commissioners authorize an amendment to the dependent eligibility for dentalbenefits for County employees' which matches the dependent eligibility provisions in theCounty healthbenefits. This provision will provide dependentcoverageuntil age 26 regardlessof student status.

However, on October 21, 2014, HUD issued CPDNotice # 2014- 015,

    concerningGrantees submission of Action Plans for FY 2015 fundingunder theCDBG,HOME, ESG and HOPWA programs. This Notice instructs Granteesnot to submit their FY2015 Action Plansto HUD until an appropriations bill has beenenactedby Congressand HUDhas notified Granteesof their actual FY 2015 allocation amounts.
