BACKGROUND The County created a Best Practices in Immigration Law committee in July 2013.

In addition, the committee was asked to identify opportunities that would assist the County in complying with all state-mandated immigration requirements. Based on the committee’s findings, the County complies with all state requirements and in fact, exceeds those requirements. However, opportunities for improvement exist in the areas of training and communication. In addition, a pilot program designed to determine whether additional steps are advisable, is also proposed.

PURPOSE To approve an agreement with Niagara Conservation Corporation for management of the Multi-Family Ultra High Efficiency Technology Direct Install Program for the Water System, Program No. C0132.
BACKGROUND
In 2005, the Cobb County Water System (CCWS) initiated a Water Efficiency Program intended to encourage conservation of our limited water resources. The Program has been very successful to date, with total water demand in Cobb County decreasing significantly in recent years. As a part of this effort, CCWS established a rebate program in 2007 to encourage replacement of older toilets in single family residences with more efficient newer technologies. This initiative has been effective and 18,883 toilets have been replaced to date with more efficient models. Due to continuing stress on the region’s limited water resources, CCWS, in compliance with the Metropolitan North Georgia Water District, also established a multi-family toilet rebate initiative in 2012, targeting apartment complexes with inefficient fixtures. While the rebate program has enjoyed significant success, this parallel initiative, aimed at multi-family complexes, has not been as effective in eliminating inefficient fixtures as was anticipated. This problem, however, has been successfully addressed by water utilities in other areas employing an initiative calling for the direct installation of ultra high-efficiency technology by a contractor. Under this initiative, the Water System plans to accept requests from multi-family complexes and pay a service provider a fixed cost to replace toilets and other fixtures. In turn, the complex

will reimburse the Water System the associated costs over a three year period. The savings to the development on its water/sewer bills is expected to offset the cost to repay the Water System, allowing the Water System to recover its entire investment within three years. The RFP for this effort was advertised in the Marietta Daily Journal on September 20, September 27, October 4, October 11, and October 18 of 2013, in accordance with the Selection Process 1 (Competitive Negotiations) of the Policy for Procurement of Professional Services. Copies of the RFP were requested by 10 firms. On October 24, 2013, one proposal was received, that of Niagara Conservation Corporation. Niagara has significant experience in managing similar projects. Niagara Conservation Corporation's proposal was reviewed and ranked highly by a five-member selection committee consisting of Tom Bills of Parks and Recreation, Neil Tarver of the Extension Service, Michael Harrelson and Kathy Nguyen of the Water System, and Allen Kronenberger of Property Management. The project duration is for two years with an option to extend for an additional year. The program will initially be funded by CCWS in an amount not to exceed $500,000.00 per year. All costs will be recouped by an incremental fee assessed to the property owner’s water bill over a period of three years. It is anticipated that the cumulative program will be budget neutral for the Water System.
FUNDING Funding is available in the Water System Operating Budget for the Toilet Rebate Program, Fund 500, Department 500, Unit 5100, Object 6625.
RECOMMENDATION The Board of Commissioners authorize an agreement with Niagara Conservation Corporation for management of the Multi-Family Ultra High Efficiency Technology Direct Install Program for the Water System, Program No. C0132, authorize the corresponding budget transactions, and further authorize the Chairman to execute the necessary documents.

PURPOSE To approve a Developer Agreement with Acadia Homes and Neighborhoods, LLC, for installation of a 12-inch water main along Spring Hill Parkway, Program No. W1025.
BACKGROUND Acadia Homes and Neighborhoods proposes to construct a town home development on Spring Hill Parkway near Cumberland Boulevard. A new 8-inch water line is needed to provide water service to the new development; however, a 12-inch water main would better serve the long-term needs of the Water System. Accordingly, the proposed Developer Agreement requires that the Water System provide 1,200 linear feet of 12-inch ductile iron water main to the Developer for him to install in lieu of the 8-inch main that would have been sufficient for his project.

PURPOSE To approve Non-Federal Reimbursable Agreement No. AJW-FN-ESA-13-7209 with the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration to relocate federally owned equipment at Cobb County Airport-McCollum Field from the existing air traffic control tower to the new air traffic control tower.
BACKGROUND
On December 20, 2012, the Board of Commissioners authorized the advertisement for and issuance of a Request for Qualifications and authorized the submission of a grant application to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for the design and construction of a new air traffic control tower at Cobb County Airport-McCollum Field. The existing air traffic control tower, which is classified by the FAA as a non-federal control tower, utilizes both locally owned and federally owned equipment to assist the air traffic controllers in maintaining air traffic separation. The FAA requires the relocation of any federally owned equipment to be completed only by FAA authorized personnel; therefore, the County is required to enter into an Agreement with the FAA to relocate and recertify all FAA owned equipment from the existing air traffic control tower to the new air traffic control tower. The new control tower will also be classified by the FAA as a non-federal control tower.
On July 9, 2013, the Board approved a design/build contract for the new air traffic control tower with Peter Brown Construction, Inc., in a total amount not to exceed $734,004.00, to include design costs of $272,531.00, project fee costs of $135,733.00, and project general condition costs of $325,740.00.
Comm. Dist. 1
Agenda Item Number. 10
Page 62 of 181
The new air traffic control tower design is complete. Peter Brown Construction, Inc., is developing the Guaranteed Maximum Price for construction to begin in April 2014, to coincide with anticipated receipt of Federal funding.
The Department is in receipt of FAA Non-Federal Reimbursable Agreement No. AJW-FN-ESA-13-7209 for expenses related to the relocation of federally owned air traffic control equipment from the existing air traffic control tower to the new air traffic control tower. The FAA estimates a total cost of $248,029.51 for the relocation work and requires advance payment of this estimate upon execution of the Agreement. Following completion of the work and final auditing, any unused funds advanced per this Agreement will be refunded to the County.
The project is eligible for FAA and State of Georgia grant funding to reimburse Cobb County for 50 percent of eligible costs up to $2,500,000.00. The Agreement with the FAA has been reviewed by the County Attorney's Office.
FUNDING Available in the Grant Fund with the following interfund transfer from the Airport Division's FY14 approved Reserve Budget:
Transfer from: 010-050-0720-8852 (Fund Balance-Reserves) $248,029.51
Transfer to: 270-050-G034-8120 (Professional Svcs-Bldgs & Structures)
$248,029.51
RECOMMENDATION The Board of Commissioners approve Non-Federal Reimbursable Agreement No. AJW-FN-ESA-13-7209 with the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration, in an amount not to exceed $248,029.51, to relocate federally owned equipment at Cobb County Airport-McCollum Field from the existing air traffic control tower to the new air traffic control tower; authorize the corresponding budget transaction; and further authorize the Chairman to execute the necessary documents.

BACKGROUND
Cumberland Parkway at Paces Ferry Road is an intersection improvements project located within the Cumberland Community Improvement District (CCID). On January 11, 2012, the Board of Commissioners approved a contract with Baldwin Paving Company, Inc., for intersection improvements on Cumberland Parkway at Paces Ferry Road. The project consisted of improving the existing intersection by constructing dual left-turn lanes, from westbound Paces Ferry Road onto Cumberland Parkway, to reduce delay for westbound traffic and provide additional storage for vehicles turning left onto southbound Cumberland Parkway. Additional improvements included the installation of a new mast arm traffic signal to accommodate the dual left-turn lanes, pedestrian improvements to include Americans with Disabilities Act compliant curb ramps in all four corners of the intersection, refuge islands for pedestrian safety, realigned crosswalks, and an increased turning radius in the southwest corner of the intersection. A right-turn slip lane was also constructed in the northeast corner of the intersection. The CCID agreed to fund 100 percent of the total roadway construction and Water System costs. The CCID also agreed to be responsible for the maintenance of all landscape and hardscape installed on the project.

PURPOSE To authorize Cobb Senior Services to collect, appropriate, and disburse revenues resulting from Senior Citizen Council sponsored programs, events, and activities.
BACKGROUND
The Senior Citizen Council of Cobb County is a 501(c) (4) non-profit organization whose mission is to further advocate for the common good and general welfare of Cobb County residents over the age of 55. The Council helps to promote senior issues within the community by lobbying for legislation on aging issues, and participating in a delegate capacity in community organizations such as the Atlanta Regional Commission Task Force on Aging. For more than 25 years, Cobb Senior Services has partnered with the Council to provide a forum on aging issues and encourage seniors to stay active and involved in the community. Our partnership provides numerous opportunities to inform senior residents of current events and legislation pertinent to their interests and age. In an effort to strengthen our partnership and community outreach efforts, Cobb Senior Services will collect revenues such as membership dues, contributions, and activity fees for Council sponsored programs and events held in partnership with the department. These designated revenues will be used to help issue and manage the monthly newsletter and support Council sponsored activities such as local trips and outings, the annual senior volunteer luncheon, and Cobb Senior Idol.

PURPOSE To approve a lease with the State Property Commission, and to approve a contract with Albion Scaccia Enterprises, LLC, for design/construction services related to the renovation of 277 Fairground Street, for use by the State of Georgia Department Family and Children Services.
BACKGROUND
The building at 277 Fairground Street was vacated by Senior Services and is no longer required for a County purpose. The Property Advisory Commission recommended that the property be declared surplus and the Board approved listing it for sale with McWhirter Realty Partners on March 27, 2012. The Property Advisory Commission further voted to have the County Attorney’s Office negotiate a lease agreement between the County and the State of Georgia Property Commission representing the Department of Family and Children Services (DFCS) for the property. The Property Advisory Commission asked Property Management to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for design builders for certain renovations desired by DFCS to the building on this property as set forth in design intent drawings provided by the State Property Commission. The County will be performing certain additional work to this building beyond the renovations requested by the State to bring it into a tenantable condition, including replacing the roof and the HVAC system. These additional improvements will also make this property more marketable in the future. An RFP for the pricing of the drawings was issued through the Purchasing Department with proposals due in December 2013. The RFP was advertised in the Marietta Daily Journal beginning on November 15th, 2013, and again on November 22nd, 29th, and December 6th, 2013, in accordance with Selection Process

The following selection committee was approved for this project: Allen Kronenberger, Property Management; Bill Thomas, Purchasing; John Morey, Department of Transportation; Lee McClead, Community Development; and Tom Bills, Parks and Recreation. The selection committee reviewed the responsive proposals received from Ajax Construction Company, Inc., Prime Construction Inc. and Albion Scaccia Enterprises, LLC. Based on their understanding of the project, proposed staffing and approach, availability, cost, as well as financial stability, the selection committee recommends Albion Scaccia Enterprises, LLC, as the top qualified firm for a contract, in the amount of $734,400.00. LEED certification was considered and discounted due to cost. The contractor will use energy efficient HVAC systems, water efficient plumbing fixtures, as well as energy efficient lighting. Property Management requests that a $73,440.00 contingency be established for unforeseen conditions.
The proposed lease for the property will be for a term of ten years at an annual rental amount of $132,500.00. The total rental payable under the lease will fully amortize the County’s costs to renovate the building. The County will be responsible for repairs and maintenance of the building, excluding routine matters such as replacement of light bulbs. The rental amount will be adjusted in the event that the County’s costs to repair and maintain this facility exceed a base amount stated in the lease. The County Attorney’s Office has negotiated a lease for this property incorporating the terms discussed above.

PURPOSE To authorize relocation of the main hub for voice and data communications for Cobb County facilities located on County Services Parkway from 1755 County Services Parkway to the Department of Transportation’s Traffic Management Center at 1890 County Services Parkway.
BACKGROUND
The main hub for voice and data communications for Cobb County facilities located on County Services Parkway is currently in the former Juvenile Court building at 1738 County Services Parkway. All voice and data communications are routed through this location, primarily through private fiber and AT&T Metro Ethernet service. When the former Juvenile Court building is renovated, it will be occupied by Cobb & Douglas Public Health. With this change in use of the building, we recommend that the communications hub be moved to another location that is better suited for this purpose. The Department of Transportation’s Traffic Management Center (TMC) was constructed after the implementation of the Cobb County’s Voice over IP network. The TMC is well equipped for housing critical communications services. The TMC has generator fail-over for the communications equipment in case of electrical failure which would keep the voice and data service operational for most of the facilities on County Services Parkway.

PURPOSE To authorize the issuance and advertisement for a Request for Proposals to contract with an outside firm(s) to conduct revenue enhancement auditing services for various county revenue sources and expenditure reduction services in the area of telecommunications and utility costs.
BACKGROUND After discussions with the Chairman, the County Manager initiated discussions on various revenue sources and expenditures in which the County could increase revenues and identify potential cost savings. As a result of numerous discussions with Agency Directors and Department Managers, it was determined that seeking the services of a professional consulting firm would be advantageous to the County. Revenue enhancement is the ability to identify unpaid taxes and/or fees from businesses and individuals discovered to owe revenue to the County by virtue of non-compliance with state and local laws and regulations. Expenditure reduction is the ability to identify overcharges or reduction in costs charged to the County. It is anticipated that these services will be performed on a contingency basis with the consultant only being paid when a refund or savings is identified. The Cobb County Water System is currently utilizing the services of a consultant on a contingency basis to assist in ensuring that users of retail water and sewer services provided by CCWS are properly and equitably billed for such services.

PURPOSE To amend the Cobb County Annual Action Plan for Program Year 2011 to reallocate Emergency Solutions Grant funds from Turner Hill Community Development Corporation to The Center for Family Resources and Hope Atlanta Travelers Aid.
BACKGROUND
On October 2, 2013, the Cobb County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program Office received a letter from Turner Hill Community Development Corporation (Turner Hill CDC) rescinding its PY2011 Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) allocation in the amount of $21,900.00 for homeless prevention activities. Based on their current resources, Turner Hill CDC is unable to utilize this portion of their award. The Center for Family Resources (CFR) and Hope Atlanta Travelers Aid (Travelers Aid) requested funding for homelessness prevention and will be able to spend the funds by the deadline of July 31, 2014. This amendment is classified as substantial and warrants a public meeting and comment period because the funds will be used for a new activity. The public notice was published on Friday, December 20, 2013 and the public meeting was conducted on Tuesday, January 14, 2013. The public comment period ends on Monday, January 20, 2014. Public comments received will be provided under separate cover.

This item has been electronically signed by:Vic Reynolds, District Attorney - Cobb Judicial Circuit
DATE: January 28, 2014
PURPOSE To authorize the District Attorney to hire a contract investigator for the purposes of providing investigative services for the Cold Case Unit and provide funds for said contract employee.
BACKGROUND The District Attorney established a Cold Case Unit in January 2014 for the purposes of investigating aging, unsolved cases to determine the feasibility of further investigation and/or prosecution of such cases. The District Attorney's Office will be the lead legal advisor to this Unit and will provide resources for the daily operations of the Unit. Currently, Cobb County has approximately 100 unsolved murder cases. Working in conjunction with a contract investigator, we believe these cases can be given the time needed for additional investigation that the police departments cannot commit to due to an already overwhelming active investigation caseload.
IMPACT STATEMENT
Prosecution, victim service and support staff resources will be provided by existing personnel in the District Attorney's Office. Additional time and specialty services by a dedicated investigator is needed to further the efforts of the Cold Case Unit. This investigator will be a contract employee paid for services upon submission of invoiced work. Said contract services will be provided at a rate of $29 per hour, 40 hours per week for the time period of February 1, 2014 through September 31, 2014. Should this program be expected to be extended into FY15, the DA office will first seek funding grants from alternative sources of funding; however, if unavailable, the DA will seek incremental funding as part of the FY2015/2016 bi-annual budget process.

The Department recommends establishing a temporary part-time sign crew to complete this project at a cost savings to the County of approximately 40 percent versus utilizing outside contractors. Total expenses for the new part-time sign crew positions and associated equipment/supplies required to complete this project are estimated to be $284,490.00. Detail for action requested as follows: On December 6, 2011, the Board of Commissioners authorized adoption of the initial budget and schedule for the 2011 SPLOST TIP.
