PURPOSE To consider a request from the City of Smyrna to eliminate the deadline by which the Commencement of Construction of Significant Projects must occur for the Belmont Hills Redevelopment Project.

BACKGROUND

In December 2003, Cobb County Board of Commissioners, the City of Smyrna and the Cobb County Board of Education entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) specifying the terms under which the County consented to the creation of a tax allocation district (TAD) in a designated area of the City then occupied by the Belmont Hills Shopping Center and agreed to commit its portion of the future tax allocation increment to be generated from the eventual redevelopment of the Belmont Hills Shopping Center. This original agreement, among other things, specified a deadline of December 31, 2008 by which the Commencement of Construction of Significant Projects must occur to avoid the automatic termination of the County’s consent to include its tax allocation increment. This deadline was extended to December 31, 2009 by a letter agreement between the County and the City dated July 24, 2008. In February 2009, the City of Smyrna requested that the County consider extending the Commencement of Construction of Significant Projects deadline to December 31, 2011. This request was reviewed and approved by the Board of Commissioners in March 2009, and was further evidenced by a letter from the County to the City dated April 1, 2009. In a letter dated January 6, 2011, the City of Smyrna requested that the County consider (a) approving a land use change to allow the purchase of a portion of the TAD land by the Cobb County Board of Education and allow the construction of an new elementary school thereon, and (b) extending the Commencement of Construction of Significant Projects deadline to

December 31, 2014. In making this request, the City noted that the prolonged economic downturn had an adverse effect on redevelopment projects throughout the country, creating an environment in which financing for development projects, especially mixed-used, had become particularly challenging. Staff considered these factors and recommended an adjusted deadline of December 31, 2013 which was approved by the Board of Commissioners. On December 10, 2013 the City of Smyrna submitted another request to the County asking that the following items be considered as they relate to the Belmont Hills TAD IGA: 1. Consent to the terms of the First Amendment to the Development Agreement between the City of Smyrna and Halpern Enterprises, Inc. 2. Eliminate the deadline for the commencement of significant construction projects as defined in the IGA, made and entered into on December 31, 2003 by and among the City, Cobb County, and the Cobb County Board of Education. 3. Establish 2013 as the base year for calculating the “Tax Allocation Increment” as defined in the IGA. The current deadline is December 31, 2013 for commencement of significant construction as it relates to this redevelopment project. Staff is recommending that the deadline for commencement of significant construction (Item #2 listed above) be extended to December 19, 2014. Items #1 and #3, if necessary, will be presented to the Board via an agenda item at a date to be determined. This recommendation to extend the deadline is contingent upon the Smyrna Mayor and Council’s affirmative vote of these three requests contained within their letter dated December 10, 2013.

FUNDING N/A

RECOMMENDATION Subject to confirmation of an affirmative vote by the Smyrna Mayor and Council, the Board of Commissioners approve an extension of the deadline for Commencement of Construction of Significant Projects for the Belmont Hills Redevelopment Project from December 31, 2013 to December 19, 2014, and approve the County Manager sending a letter to the City with respect to these matters.

PURPOSE To authorize the Cobb County Sheriff's Office to classify twenty-one tactical rifles as surplus and authorize the exchange of those surplus weapons to DRD Tactical for new tactical rifles.

BACKGROUND

The Cobb County Sheriff's Office proposes a surplus exchange of twenty-one tactical rifles. The Sheriff's Office SWAT team currently utilizes two different models of tactical rifles. This poses significant issues while training and potential dangers in actual response situations, as the rifles operational aspects vary greatly. Some of the weapons are over 10 years old, and some have been rendered obsolete by the newer and more proficient rifles. Disposition options for most of the firearms are limited, as they are federally restricted firearms, and could only be sold/transferred to the military or another law enforcement agency. In an effort to properly dispose of the equipment and to achieve the greatest residual value, the Sheriff's Office has negotiated an exchange of the surplus rifles for a greater number of weapons with a greater value than what could otherwise be realized. If trade is authorized, the weapons will be salvaged for legal parts by DRD and the remainder destroyed in the presence of Sheriff's Office personnel. The rifles that have been identified as potential surplus property are seventeen Heckler & Koch G36 rifles and parts, and four Cobb MFG MCR .308 caliber rifles. The approximate secondhand value of the weapons is $16,432. In exchange, the Sheriff's Office will receive twenty DRD CDR 15/5.56 caliber tactical rifles and three DRD Paratus Gen 2 7.62 caliber tactical rifles with a total retail value of $55,820. DRD is also requesting permission for use of the exchange information in their promotional literature.
