PURPOSE To approve a Novation Agreement with Jordan, Jones and Goulding, Inc. and Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc. for the South Cobb Tunnel, Program No. S3017.

BACKGROUND On September 27, 2005, the Board of Commissioners approved an engineering agreement with Jordan, Jones and Goulding, Inc. for geotechnical investigations and detailed design services for a deep tunnel to provide needed long-term sewer conveyance capacity and equalization for the Sweetwater Creek and Nickajack Creek basins. On March 11, 2008, the Board of Commissioners approved Supplemental Agreement No. 1 to the agreement with Jordan, Jones and Goulding for engineering services required during the tunnel construction including interpretation of design issues, evaluation of proposed changes, shop drawing review, geological mapping of the tunnel, and design of the final tunnel support system. The South Cobb Tunnel project is currently anticipated to be completed in December 2014. In 2010, Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc. purchased Jordan, Jones and Goulding. As of January 1, 2011, all employees of the Jordan, Jones and Goulding became employees of the Jacobs Engineering Group. Jordan, Jones and Goulding is in the process of closing down its business and transferring all of its contracts to Jacobs Engineering Group; therefore, Jordan, Jones and Goulding requests that the South Cobb Tunnel agreement be transferred to Jacobs Engineering via a three-party Novation Agreement. The Cobb County Water System concurs with this request.

PURPOSE To approve Change Order No. 2 to the construction contract with Chatfield Contracting, Inc. for a project in the vicinity of 2710 Wynford Avenue, Program No. SW1355.

BACKGROUND

On October 23, 2012, the Board of Commissioners approved a construction contract with Chatfield Contracting for replacement of approximately 140 linear feet of stormwater pipe and related junction boxes near 2710 Wynford Avenue. The project is within the Mud Creek drainage basin where poorly drained soils dominate low-lying areas. Rainfall during late 2012 and much of 2013 raised the groundwater table in the area, making conventional construction inappropriate. In September of 2013, with groundwater remaining a problem, it was determined that the pipeline should be undercut and a substantial stone base installed to provided sufficient drainage for the pipeline to be replaced. The Board of Commissioners approved a change order to accommodate the revised approach. Once work could proceed and the entire work area could be exposed, several additional minor issues were identified that require extra work to properly complete the project. There proved to be an unknown angle in the line segment on the upstream side of Wynford Avenue which resulted in a buried upstream junction box being found much closer to the existing residence than anticipated, dictating a need for additional landscape and irrigation system work to restore the site. In addition, a section of driveway that had to be removed and replaced was found to be significantly thicker than standard thickness provided for in the project bid documents. A few additional minor variations with bid documents were encountered. Water System staff have negotiated additional related costs at some length with Chatfield Contracting, and propose a not to exceed change order in the amount of $5,971.80 to complete the work.

PURPOSE To amend a previously adopted action regarding condemnation proceedings on two parcels on Floyd Road, Project No. E6010.

BACKGROUND

Floyd Road is an approved roadway safety and operational improvements project in the 2011 SPLOST Transportation Improvements Program (TIP). The project scope includes intersection improvements, construction of a raised median, and an eight-foot wide multi-use trail along the west side of Floyd Road, from Veterans Memorial Highway to Fontaine Road. A ten-foot wide multi-use trail will be constructed from Fontaine Road to Clay Road. A separate pedestrian bridge will be constructed to the west of the existing roadway bridge on Floyd Road over the railroad. The project limits extend from Veterans Memorial Highway to Clay Road for a project length of 0.61 miles. On February 25, 2014, the Board of Commissioners approved a request to determine that circumstances were such that it was necessary to proceed with condemnation proceedings on Parcels 8 and 11 within the Floyd Road project. Due to plan revisions, the required temporary driveway easement areas were increased from 700.00 square feet to 1,850.36 square feet for Parcel 8, and from 700.00 square feet to 1,806.80 square feet for Parcel 11; therefore, it is necessary to amend the areas of required easement acquisition previously approved.

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 seven parcels on Pine Mountain Road, Project No. E6030.

BACKGROUND

Pine Mountain Road is an approved roadway safety and operational improvements project in the 2011 SPLOST Transportation Improvements Program (TIP). The project scope includes horizontal and vertical improvements to comply with sight distance requirements, adding curb, gutter and sidewalk on both sides of the roadway and adding turn lanes, as applicable, at major intersections. The project limits are from Stilesboro Road to just east of Shillings Road. A City of Kennesaw project will improve Pine Mountain Road, from Shillings Road to US41. The project length is approximately two miles. Rights-of-way and additional 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 owner 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 a condemnation action be filed.

Comm. Dist. 1

BACKGROUND

On December 20, 2011, the Board of Commissioners approved a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with U. S. Customs Border Protection (CBP) to provide customs inspection services at Cobb County Airport-McCollum Field. On December 20, 2012, the Board approved Lease Amendment No. 3 to the Atlanta Executive Jet Center (AEJC) South Fixed Base Operator Lease and Operating Agreement which requires AEJC to reimburse the County for all obligations and expenses for the operations of the customs inspection services, per terms of the MOA with CBP, for a minimum of 10 years. Lease Amendment No. 3 also required AEJC to provide a prepayment to the County of $70,000.00 to be used towards CBP expenses. This payment has been received. On April 9, 2013, the Board approved Lease Amendment No. 4 to the AEJC South Fixed Based Operator Lease and Operating Agreement for the construction of the Customs Inspection Facility. The Amendment delegates the responsibility for project management of all phases of construction for the Customs Inspection Facility, as well as all coordination required with federal and state agencies, to the County. AEJC will provide 100 percent funding for all phases of this project, to include reimbursement of all associated miscellaneous expenditures.

PURPOSE To approve a Grant Contract with the Georgia Department of Transportation for construction of the new air traffic control tower at Cobb County Airport–McCollum Field.

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/construction of a new air traffic control tower. The Board also approved Work Order No. E1 with The LPA Group, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $94,590.00, for a required air traffic control tower site study and to update the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Annual Goal for Cobb County Airport–McCollum Field. On July 9, 2013, the Board approved a design/build contract with Peter Brown Construction, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $734,004.00, for the new air traffic control tower at Cobb County Airport–McCollum Field. On December 10, 2013, the Board approved the Airport Capital Improvement Plan (ACIP) annual update for Cobb County Airport-McCollum Field, which identified the new Air Traffic Control Tower Project as an approved FY14 project in the ACIP. In order to meet state fiscal year deadlines, the State of Georgia has requested that the County be prepared to execute a contract with the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT), in a minimum amount of $1,375,000.00, to fund the eligible project construction costs of the new air traffic control tower. The Department will present an agenda item to the Board at a later date to appropriate funding

awarded through any Grant Contract executed. Construction of the new air traffic control tower will take approximately nine months. An FAA Safety and Risk Management Study was conducted to identify and mitigate risks to operations during construction and transition.

IMPACT STATEMENT The new Air Traffic Control Tower Project is estimated to cost $2,991,623.51. Funding from FAA and GDOT is being offered in a minimum amount of $1,375,000.00, which will require a local match of $1,616,623.51. Local match in the amount of $986,763.01 is available for contracts within the project, resulting in a need for additional local match in the amount of $629,860.50. The additional required local match is available in the Airport's approved FY14 Fund Balance Reserve account and from anticipated FY14 excess revenues over FY14 expenses, and will be appropriated at a later date once the GDOT Grant Contract amount has been finalized.

DATE: May 13, 2014

PURPOSE To authorize the submission of a FY14 National Infrastructure Grant application to the United States Department of Transportation for capital projects.

BACKGROUND

The Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) Discretionary Grant program was first created in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. Through the ARRA and subsequent four appropriations acts, Congress provided the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) with funding for six rounds of competitive grants, totaling more than $4.1 billion, for capital investments in surface transportation infrastructure. The FY14 Consolidated Appropriations Act authorized $600 million to be awarded by USDOT for the TIGER Discretionary Grants program. As in previous rounds, the FY14 TIGER Discretionary Grant program funds capital investments in surface transportation infrastructure, and grants are to be awarded on a competitive basis for projects that will have a significant impact on the Nation, a metropolitan area, or a region. Eligible applicants for TIGER Discretionary Grants are state and local governments. Eligible projects include traditional surface transportation projects as well as passenger and freight rail transportation. To be eligible to receive funding, projects, or elements of a project, must have independent utility, which means that the project provides transportation benefits and is ready for its intended use upon completion of project construction.

Comm. Dist.

Norfolk Southern Railway Company (NS) is currently planning to expand the Whitaker Intermodal Terminal in Austell and desires to partner with Cobb County to pursue funding for the expansion under the TIGER Grant program. The project consists of the realignment of existing trackage, construction of approximately 814 paved parking spots, paved pathways, installation or modification of lighting, fencing, security cameras, utilities, air compressors and air lines. Drainage structures, other items, and the procurement of two additional overhead intermodal lift cranes are also included. All work will take place on property owned by subsidiaries of NS. The total cost of the project is $31.9 million. Federal funding requested will fund 49.8 percent of the total project costs, or $15.9 million, and NS will fund 50.1 percent, or $16 million. Cobb County responsibilities will consist of applying for the grant and managing the grant, if awarded. County costs required to administer and manage the grant funds will be absorbed by NS; therefore, no County funds will be required. Norfolk Southern Railway Company’s Austell Intermodal Terminal is the largest intermodal facility in Georgia, handling over 425,000 containers and trailers in 2013. With a capacity to handle approximately 475,000 units annually, the facility will likely reach its full capacity in 2015. The proposed expansion of the Austell facility complements operations at multiple intermodal terminals, including two Crescent Corridor facilities (located in Alabama and Tennessee) which were funding during the 2010 TIGER I competitive grant program. The proposed capacity expansion at Austell also complements the Pennsylvania Intermodal Facility Expansion funded by the 2011 TIGER III grant program. A recent economic benefits study by Insight Research indicates the proposed expansion of Austell will complement all Crescent Corridor projects, expand access to Florida and Chicago, and enhance an inland gateway for the Port of Savannah. This study cumulatively estimates nearly $40 billion in project related economic development opportunities by 2034. To compete for these funds, the Board of Commissioners must authorize the submission of a grant application to the USDOT. If selected to receive an award under the TIGER VI Grant program, the Department will present an agenda item to the Board requesting authorization to accept and manage the grant, in an amount not to exceed the allocated funding. The Department's Agency Director, Faye DiMassimo, will be the designated contract person for all matters associated with the grant application.

IMPACT STATEMENT

The total cost of the NS expansion project is $31.9 million. Federal funding requested will fund 49.8 percent of the total project costs, or $15.9 million; NS will fund 50.1 percent, or $16 million. Cobb County responsibilities will consist of applying for and managing the grant, if awarded. County costs required to administer and manage the grant funds will be absorbed by NS; therefore, no County funds will be required.

PURPOSE To approve the Cobb Community Transit Disadvantaged Business Enterprise program goal for Fiscal Years 2015-2017.

BACKGROUND

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) requires recipients of transit funds in excess of $250,000.00 annually (excluding transit vehicle purchases) to have an approved Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program in place and to develop a DBE goal annually, or when funding has been awarded for a project. On July 27, 2004, the Board of Commissioners approved the Department’s DBE plan. On March 5, 2010, a final rule changed the FTA regulation concerning the frequency of submission regarding the methodology and process used to establish overall DBE goals for federally funded contracting opportunities. Under the final rule, recipients must submit overall goals for review every three years, rather than annually. The three-year cumulative DBE goal established for Cobb Community Transit (CCT) for Fiscal Years 2015-2017 is five percent. The DBE goal was established using FTA methodology. In an effort to increase public awareness of CCT’s DBE program, the Department’s Transit Division hosted a public outreach meeting on March 12, 2014. The purpose of this meeting was to discuss upcoming transit projects and proposed DBE goals for Fiscal Years 2015-2017.

Comm. Dist.

All


of 242

Following Board approval, a notice will be placed in the Marietta Daily Journal and two minority publications to inform the public that the proposed goal and rationale are available for review for 30 days, and that comments on the goal will be accepted for 45 days from the date of the notice. At the end of the 45-day period, the goal will be submitted to the FTA for review and approval. For all projects that receive FTA funding, the utilization of DBEs by consultants and contractors will be applied towards CCT’s overall DBE goal.

FUNDING N/A

RECOMMENDATION The Board of Commissioners approve the Cobb Community Transit (CCT) Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program goal of five percent for Fiscal Years 2015-2017.

DATE: May 13, 2014

PURPOSE To adopt a resolution authorizing the submission of Amendment No. 1 to the FY14 Federal Transit Administration Section 5337 Grant application (Grant No. GA-54-0002) for transit capital and operating related projects.

BACKGROUND

A two-year transportation authorization entitled Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) was signed into law on July 6, 2012. The new law authorized funding in FY13 and FY14 for public transportation. MAP-21 furthers several important goals including safety, state of good repair, performance, and program efficiency. Under MAP-21, various grant funding programs were restructured through consolidation, elimination, or creation of new programs. A new formula-based State of Good Repair program was established under the Section 5337 program, which is the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) first stand-alone initiative written into law dedicated specifically to repairing and upgrading transit systems that operate vehicles in High-Occupancy Vehicle lanes (HOV) or fixed guide-way transit. These funds reflect a commitment to ensuring that public transit operates safely, efficiently, reliably, and sustainably so that communities can offer balanced transportation choices that help to improve mobility, reduce congestion, and encourage economic development. Projects under this program are limited to capital replacement or rehabilitation projects and preventive maintenance activities required to maintain public transportation systems in a state of good repair. The funding is allocated by formula through the regional planning and programming process, which is based primarily on vehicle revenue miles and HOV route miles. The amount of federal funding attributable to the County is calculated based on actual operations data submitted to the National Transit Database, a mandated report submitted annually to FTA. On February 11, 2014, the Board of Commissioners authorized the submission of a FY14 Section 5337 Grant application (Grant No. GA-54-0002) to FTA, in the amount of $389,977.00 for transit capital projects.

Comm. Dist.

The Department has been notified that additional federal funding is currently available to the County under the FTA Section 5337 Grant program. To obtain these federal funds, the Board of Commissioners must adopt a Resolution authorizing the submission of an amended grant application to the FTA. Federal funding will provide 80 percent, or $367,234.00, of the total requested project cost of $459,042.00. There is no state funding available at this time; therefore a 20 percent local match, or $91,808.00, will be required. When amended, the new grant total will be $849,019.00.

IMPACT STATEMENT The FY14 FTA Section 5337 Grant Amendment No. 1 will provide additional funding for capital and operating projects in an amount not to exceed $459,042.00, which includes $367,234.00 in federal funding and $91,808.00 in local match funding. The capital project portion of this Amendment totals $260,023.00, and the operating project portion totals $199,019.00. The amended grant total will be $849,019.00. Local matching funds for operating projects, in the amount of $39,804.00, are available in the Transit Division’s approved FY14 Operating budget. Local matching funds for capital projects, in the amount of $52,005.00, are available in the Transit Division’s approved FY14 Capital Projects Fund budget with the reallocation of reduced General Fund Contribution.

FUNDING

Local funding is available in the Transit Division's FY14 Operating Budget as follows:

Additional Federal funding is available in the Transit Division's FY14 approved Operating Budget with the following appropriation of FY14 FTA Section 5337 grant funds:

This item has been electronically signed by:Ed Biggs, Acting Director Rob Hosack, AICP, Director Willie A. Hopkins, Jr., Director of Support Services

DATE: May 13, 2014

PURPOSE To authorize funding to: (1) make business license applications and renewals, online permits, and plan review activities of the Community Development Agency available via the Internet and (2) implement a high speed remittance solution to automate license renewal processes.

BACKGROUND

The Community Development Agency uses an integrated software system developed by Accela, Inc. to support and facilitate their day-to-day operations. This system provides the capability to interface with multiple jurisdictions, agencies, and departments. The Agency also uses OnBase Enterprise Content Management to scan, store, and retrieve documents. The Agency can leverage these two existing enterprise software systems, Accela and Onbase, to automate and improve their business processes.

PURPOSE To approve Change Order No. 1 to the Work Agreement with Harvest Technology Group, Inc. for the OnBase Enterprise Content Management System for professional services and software licenses to add five additional projects designed to automate and improve existing work processes.

BACKGROUND

On July 9, 2013, the Board of Commissioners approved an agreement with Harvest Technology Group, Inc. for an upgrade to the OnBase Enterprise Content Management System. As part of that effort, Hyland Software, the makers of OnBase, and Harvest have completed an Enterprise Information Assessment (EIA) to identify opportunities to align OnBase with strategic goals within Cobb County. The EIA findings have been presented to the OnBase Executive Sponsors Group. Five areas were identified by the Sponsors Group as priorities outside the scope of the original agreement. Those five priorities include: 1) Capture/Access to enhance scan, store, and retrieval processes within eight departments; 2) State Court pilot project for process improvements; 3) Pilot project for automation and improvements to the back scanning process; 4) ePlan Review on-line plan submission and review process for Community Development, Transportation,

PURPOSE To approve upgrades to the communications network serving Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs facilities.

BACKGROUND

The Cobb County 2011 SPLOST included revitalization, facility renovations, and upgrades to Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs facilities including parks, tennis centers, and aquatic centers. Working in conjunction with Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs staff, Information Services conducted a review of voice and data communications services at those facilities. Existing service consists of NetVPN circuits with 128 to 256 Kbps bandwidth speed provided through AT&T. The speed of the current data network is too slow resulting in major performance and operational efficiency issues, including but not limited to the inability to print receipts for customers. AT&T has informed us that NetVPN is being phased out and is no longer offered as a new service. The cost to continue to keep this service may increase up to 50%, from approximately $63,000.00 per year up to $94,500.00 per year. This price increase may occur at any time within the next year. With consideration of cost and functionality, we recommend upgrading the data communication network connections at 33 facilities to provide increased bandwidth. Comcast Business Communications, LLC can provide the recommended increased bandwidth and speed with all installation costs waived. One-time capital costs for routers, switches, replacing the existing wiring, and software licenses are estimated to be $204,855.00. Connectivity to the facilities will

be scheduled over a period of months beginning in FY 14 and continuing into FY 15. The amount of increase in operating expenses for the remainder of FY 14 is estimated to be $9,385.00. Board approval is requested to implement upgrades to the communications network serving Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs facilities.

IMPACT STATEMENT Connectivity to all facilities will be implemented over a period of 12-14 months. Additional funding will be required for the increased recurring monthly costs in the amounts of $58,440.00 in FY 15 and $162,995.00 in FY 16. Funding for FY 15 and FY 16 will need to be increased in the operating budget submittals for Information Services and Cobblestone Golf Course.

FUNDING Funding is available through a fund balance appropriation in the General Fund and a subsequent transfer to the project in the Capital Projects Fund as follows:


Increase Expenditure 010-014-0140-6594 (Tranfers Out) $214,240.00


Increase Expenditure 380-035-4584-8410 (Data Commun.) $214,240.00

RECOMMENDATION The Board of Commissioners approve upgrades to the communications network serving Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs facilities to be provided by Comcast Business Communications, LLC; authorize one-time purchases of capital equipment and software in an amount not to exceed $204,855.00; and further authorize the corresponding budget transactions.

PURPOSE To authorize the application for and acceptance of a breath alcohol testing instrument from the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety's grant project.

BACKGROUND The Cobb County Police Department has used the Intoxilyzer 5000 for breath alcohol testing; however, the Georgia Bureau of Investigations has selected the Intoxilyzer 9000 to replace the Intoxilyzer 5000. The State of Georgia has mandated the transition to be completed by December 31, 2015. In order to meet state requirements, the Cobb County Police Department has ordered an Intoxilyzer 9000 breath alcohol testing instrument for each precinct through FY14 capital funding.

The Governor’s Office of Highway Safety (GOHS) has announced a grant application opportunity for an Intoxilyzer 9000 breath alcohol testing instrument valuing $8,000.00 for law enforcement agencies. The GOHS will purchase and deliver the Intoxilyzer 9000 breath-alcohol testing instrument to the agency. This additional instrument will be used as a mobile unit which will meet the goals of the department.

IMPACT STATEMENT There is no local match requirement. The Intoxilyzer 9000 breath alcohol testing instrument is valued at $8,000.00 and will need to be placed in inventory upon receipt. Future supplies for gas cylinder replacement is anticipated at an expense of $110.00 annually, per instrument.

PURPOSE To authorize the purchase of computer equipment and software to enable the Fire Department to implement a pilot program for the purpose of managing and analyzing its emergency response data for use by Fire and County management.

BACKGROUND Cobb County Fire and Emergency Services (CCFES) has identified a need for improvement in the overall management of its response and deployment data and analysis of information entered into its records management system. With over 700 personnel and answering nearly 52,000 calls for fire and emergency service call delivery annually, it is essential to industry best practices to understand and alter deployment strategies to best utilize its resources. As call volume and complexity increases, it is becoming increasingly problematic to analyze data; not only to generate analytical reports, but also to improve service delivery to citizens, as well as to maintain Fire’s national accreditation. Qualified personnel are now in place to perform this function, but the computer hardware, software, and associated equipment are required to fulfill this mission. The intent of this initiative is threefold: (1) to pool all data resources into a single reliable source, (2) to develop sound decision-making practices, and (3) to generate usable real-time data from multiple sources to employ best practices and resource allocation. The total start-up cost for the equipment and associated software for this data analysis group is $34,441.00.

These regional teams are placed throughout the State of Georgia, funded by federal Homeland Security grant monies. This effort provides equipment, vehicles, maintenance, and training to these specialized response teams for enhanced regional response capabilities for urban search and rescue operations. As a member and host agency for one of these teams, CCFES was awarded initial and ongoing grants for the equipment and vehicle now owned, housed, and maintained by Cobb County. GEMA has notified Cobb County Fire and Emergency Services that there is $20,102.00 available for application and acceptance for FY 2014 for the purpose of maintaining, repairing, and replacing equipment for the GSAR team and vehicle.

IMPACT STATEMENT

These grant funds require no local match. Pursuant to the original 2004 agreement, CCFES will

PURPOSE To consider a request from the Cumberland Community Improvement District to expand the boundaries and adopt the required expansion resolution.

BACKGROUND In 1998, a group of commercial property owners in the Cumberland Area formed a self taxing district called the Cumberland Community Improvement District (CCID). This action included establishing specific boundaries for the properties that would be subject to the additional tax. In 2007, the CCID Board of Directors and Cobb County Board of Commissioners authorized an expansion of the CCID boundaries, through the adoption of required resolutions.

In 2014, the CCID approached the Chattahoochee National Recreation Area to expand the boundaries of the CCID onto National Park Service property. This allows the CCID to partner with the National Park Service to invest in the Palisades and Cochran Shoals parks to the benefit of the people of Cobb County and the Atlanta Metropolitan Area. On February 10, 2014 the National Park Service provided a letter of support for the CCID boundary expansion to the Executive Director of the CCID, Ms. Malaika Rivers. On March 24, 2014, the CCID Board of Directors approved an agenda item and resolution for the CCID boundary expansion as indicated in this agenda item. The final action necessary to expand the CCID boundary is for the Board of Commissioners to approve the boundary expansion and adopt the expansion resolution.

DATE: May 13, 2014

PURPOSE To authorize an amendment to Program Years 2012 and 2013 Annual Action Plans to reallocate unexpended Home Investment Partnerships program funds.

BACKGROUND Cherokee County and the City of Marietta currently participate in the Georgia Urban County Consortium (GUCC) Home Investment Partnerships Act (HOME) Program. The consortium consists of the following members: the City of Marietta, the City of Roswell, Cherokee County and Cobb County, which has lead administrative responsibility for both performance and reporting purposes to the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development on an annual basis. In an effort to effectively manage the risks associated with the County being solely responsible for ensuring that performance standards are met and to avoid potential regulatory sanctions being issued by HUD, the County has proposed to reallocate unexpended HOME funds for the City of Marietta and Cherokee County. Both the City of Marietta and Cherokee County were notified in writing of the County’s decision on Friday, February 7, 2014 and did not formally submit a response by the required deadline of Monday, February 17, 2014. A total of $742,717.17 in unexpended HOME funds is available for reallocation. These funds are currently allocated to the City of Marietta in the amount of $207,855.00 for PY2013 and Cherokee County in the amount of $534,862.17 for PY2012 ($260,255.17) and PY2013 ($274,607.00). The HOME funds are proposed to be reallocated to Cole Street Development Corporation ($344,942.91), NW Habitat for Humanity ($250,742.59), Marietta Housing Authority ($120,615.50), and Cobb CDBG Program Administration ($26,416.17). This amendment is classified as substantial and warrants a public review meeting and comment period because the funds will be used for a new activity. The public notice was published on Friday, March 21, 2014 and the public review meeting was conducted on Wednesday, March 26, 2014. The public comment period ended on Monday, April 7, 2014. No public comments were received.

IMPACT STATEMENT HOME program funds have been provided to Cobb County by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the reallocation of these funds is permissible under HUD guidelines. All citizen participation guidelines have been met (public notice and public review meeting). The amount of this reallocation of funds constitutes a substantial amendment. There will be no impact to the General Fund.

The final funding is to be appropriated at the end of the program on August 30, 2014. The estimated costs including fringe benefits are $3,998.90. Once all of the salary is paid to the ACCG interns, the remaining balance will be paid back to the grant.

IMPACT STATEMENT No additional funding is required from Cobb County for this grant. Funds not utilized by the participants for salary, FICA, and workers compensation benefits will be returned to ACCG.

FUNDING

Funding for the grant will be appropriated as follows:

Increase Revenue: 270-095-G480-4506 (Other Local Revenue) $3998.90

PURPOSE To authorize the creation of two legislative positions within the Clerk of Superior Court.

BACKGROUND House Bill 1123 was approved on April 10, 2014 to amend an act and provide for an executive assistant and executive secretary appointed by and under the direct supervision of the Clerk of the Superior Court. The house bill states that the persons so appointed shall serve at the pleasure of the clerk and that the Clerk of the Superior Court shall establish the qualifications, education, and experience necessary for appointment to such positions. Two existing positions currently perform such duties, therefore the board’s authorization is requested to reclassify those positions.

IMPACT STATEMENT The full year cost of $15,847.62 for the reclassification will be budgeted in Clerk of Superior Court’s FY15 budget.

FUNDING Funding for the remainder of the FY14 budget is available in Clerk of Superior Court’s FY14 Personal Services Budget.

RECOMMENDATION The Cobb County Board of Commissioners authorize the reclassification of Administrative Coordinator, grade 49 (1913-019) to Executive Assistant to Clerk of Superior Court (legislative) and Administrative Coordinator, grade 49 (1913-018) to Executive Secretary to Clerk of Superior Court (legislative).

PURPOSE To authorize the purchase of mitigation credits from Seven Branches Farm, LLC, for stream impacts associated with drainage improvements on Paper Mill Road, Project No. E2310.

BACKGROUND

Drainage System Improvements is an approved component in the 2011 SPLOST Transportation Improvements Program. During the construction of the Paper Mill Road bridge replacement, it was noted that a nearby stream just west of the bridge project was causing significant erosion adjacent to, and sometimes under, the pavement of Paper Mill Road. There have been several attempts to mitigate this problem; however, due to its proximity with Sope Creek, corrective action is limited. On November 26, 2013, the Board of Commissioners approved a contract with AECOM Technical Services, Inc., for environmental permitting services to determine a permanent solution that meets all reviewing agencies approvals and provides permanent protection for the County's infrastructure. The proposed project, as approved by the reviewing agencies, will pipe a section of the stream immediately adjacent to Paper Mill Road to mitigate the on-going erosion problem, while providing a safe shoulder for Paper Mill Road. This solution will also protect an adjacent cultural resource from additional degradation due to the erosion of the stream channel.

Comm. Dist. 2


of 242

The proposed solution will impact 115 linear feet of perennial streams in the project area and will require the purchase of mitigation credits. Mitigation for the disturbance of streams is a requirement of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Section 404 Nationwide Permit 14, which has been submitted for this project. It has been determined that on-site mitigation is not feasible. A purchase of 534.75 stream mitigation credits from Seven Branches Farm Stream Mitigation Bank, an approved U.S. Army Corps of Engineers credit mitigation bank managed by Seven Branches Farm, LLC, has been determined to be the appropriate mitigation.

FUNDING Available in the 2011 Transportation Improvements Program with the following budget transfer:


Transfer to: 345-050-E002-E231-8722-E2310-E $18,689.51

RECOMMENDATION The Board of Commissioners authorize the purchase of mitigation credits from Seven Branches Farm, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $18,689.51, for stream impacts associated with drainage improvements on Paper Mill Road, Project No. E2310; and authorize the corresponding budget transaction.

PURPOSE To approve a contract with Diversified Construction of Georgia, Inc. for construction services related to the addition and modification of the Mable House Arts Center building, under the 2011 Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs SPLOST Program.

BACKGROUND

The 2011 Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs SPLOST program includes an addition to the Mable House Arts Center building located at 5239 Floyd Road, Mableton.

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 Rhyne Park under the 2011 Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs SPLOST Program.

BACKGROUND

Improvements to athletic field lighting and related electrical upgrades at Rhyne Park are an approved athletic field renovation component of the 2011 Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs SPLOST Program. The original baseball fields at Rhyne Park located at 4145 King Springs Road, Smyrna were constructed in the early 1970s. Five wooden light poles are still in place. Although they have been repaired from time to time over the years, the sports field lighting fixtures have outlived their service life and must be replaced. The cost for replacement of bulbs and ballasts has increased greatly in recent years. Further, the new energy efficient lights will provide brighter and more even coverage of the fields, increasing playability and safety. The project scope includes removal and replacement of wooden poles with spun concrete poles, the replacement of existing lighting fixtures, cross arms, disconnects and related underground wiring on those poles plus other existing poles at two athletic fields. The scope also includes replacement of an electrical panel which will be impacted during construction of a new segmented block wall at the park. 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. AllStar has presented a proposal totaling $156,770.00, which references approved unit prices for materials, equipment and labor,

BACKGROUND The project for glass and window frame replacement at the Acworth Community Health Center - Cobb County Public Health Building was approved by the citizens in the 2011 SPLOST.

The tinted and low emissivity windows will provide energy savings for this facility.

On April 10, 2014, the Purchasing Department received and opened one sealed bid from Peachtree Construction Services, in the amount of $26,835.00.
