PURPOSE To present a Certificate of Achievement to Robert Joseph Babich, III for attaining the honored rank of Eagle Scout.

BACKGROUND Robert is in Boy Scout troop 1294, at American Legion Post 294. Robert's Eagle service project involved planning, building and installing 2 information kiosks for West Cobb Baseball located in Kennesaw, GA. These kiosks are information booths were information will be posted for players, prospective players, parents and local community members. Robert raised $2,670.00 to pay for the cost of this project. The money left over is being used to seed a new scholarship fund for West Cobb Baseball in the name of Mike Wilson (an umpire who supported the park since it's inception and recently passed). This scholarship will be used to help those players that want to play baseball at West Cobb, but are struggling to pay the registration fee.

PURPOSE To present a Certificate of Recognition to Donyah Weatherspoon for her outstanding service to the residents of Peachstone Senior Living facility.

BACKGROUND

Ms. Donyah Weatherspoon. Ms. Weatherspoon’s official title is the Property Manager for Peachstone Senior Living but her unofficial title and impact goes far beyond her job description. Ms. Weatherspoon has been the property manager for the last five years, and during this time she provides food to residents from her home to residents who are unable to afford it; she serves as a social worker to many of the residents in times of needs, provides linen to residents who needs it; serves as the marketing director for the facility and so much more. When speaking to one of her co-workers, and one of the residents of the facility, the phrase “she will give you the shirt off of her back” was used more than once to describe Ms. Weatherspoon. Below is the original e-mail that we received from one of the residents that Ms. Weatherspoon works closely with requesting a way to honor Ms. Weatherspoon for all that she does.

"Dear Commissioner Cupid, you have absolutely no idea how you are going to make my dreams come true by honoring Dee, my new friend. Well, she became my "Family" the first day I met her in March. Thank you so much.

Commissioner Cupid, I would be so proud to know you did that for her at the meeting like you said. That way, even more people, would get to meet and blessed by her. But I realize I shouldn't be selfish, but I was wondering if there was any way possible for you, because you are very important, could come here too to award her in front of all us residents here? I don't have much money. I just get Social Security Disability but if you could, though I know you're real busy because your a Commissioner. You're our Mayor here. Is there any way you could honor her here too so that we could be able to celebrate with her when you do. Please. I don't have

much money but until I can find a job real soon (and I'm trying really hard), I will gladly spend however much it costs to buy refreshments and plates and cups and stuff like that out of my check. Dee is definitely worth it. You will be able to see that easily when you meet her.

Most of the people here at Peachstone Senior Living are either senior citizens, many are sick, or the rest are disabled like me. So very few people have transportation. I just want to make Dee feel like the most special person in the universe because she is.

I can make sure the owners know in advance and they will have to make sure that she's not off that day. But I think it would be the most awesome thing if we could surprise her with a party and you, a VIP. And I thought maybe I could try and get the newspaper to come too. This is a good woman Mrs. Cupid, just like I know you have to be. I even thought I would try to find out how to get the Governor of our whole state to write her a thank you card too. I write a lot of poetry. Usually people cry when I share stuff with them. I like to bless people by giving them special poems I write about them because I dont have much else to give. So I can write her a special poem.

Commissioner Cupid, I know I am really asking a whole lot. If this is too much and I am getting on your nerves or I am bothering you, I am so sorry. I don't mean to. But I just want to make this day very special for Dee. Just wait til you meet her. She is so beautiful and the joy in her radiates like a million diamonds in the sunshine reflected in a thousand mirrors."

RECOMMENDATION The Board of Commissioners present a Certificate of Recognition to Ms. Donyah Weatherspoon for all of her efforts and service to the residents of Peachstone Senior Living facility.

PURPOSE To conduct a public hearing and consider approval of the Northwest Cobb Land Vulnerability Analysis.

BACKGROUND The Northwest Cobb Land Vulnerability Analysis is a collaborative effort involving community participation and various departments within Cobb County. The goal of this report is to examine, identify, and modify incompatible land uses with respect to existing and changing conditions that could influence this area over the next 10 to 20 years. These influencing forces include incompatible land uses, commuter traffic, new and improved transportation facilities, commercial and residential developments, and environmental factors related to stormwater runoff and Lake Allatoona.

The Community Development Planning Division was the lead in the effort with other departments and surrounding jurisdictions providing technical assistance including the Department of Transportation, Water System, the City of Acworth, Paulding County, and Bartow County. As is paramount with all planning projects and to ensure that the results reflect the community’s character and ideas, residents and business owners in and around the study area were actively involved in the process of evaluating and developing recommendations. This was accomplished through two public meetings that provided a diverse group of community members the opportunity to shape the recommendations for the effort.

The analysis has been posted for public review and comment for over a month, which includes all sections of the report: the existing conditions, community involvement, and a concept plan. The implementation actions are included in the concept plan.

PURPOSE To approve Supplemental Agreement No. 1 to the engineering agreement with Rindt-McDuff Associates, Inc. for FY15 Maintenance Zone 4 Water Main Replacement Design, Program No. W2274.

BACKGROUND On February 11, 2014, the Board of Commissioners authorized an agreement with Rindt-McDuff Associates, Inc. in the amount of $124,175.00 for design to replace approximately 45,000 linear feet of substandard water main in the Dayron Circle, Mountain Creek, Chimney Springs Phase 4, and Roberts Lane areas. During preliminary investigations, some concerns were raised with respect to the condition of sewers in the Dayron Circle area. After further investigations, it was determined that portions of the system were deteriorating and in need of replacement. Rather than doing the water and sewer work as separate projects, we propose to combine both into a single project, reducing the total cost and, more importantly, minimizing the impact on residents. We recommend an increase of $50,425.00 to the existing agreement with Rindt-McDuff Associates, Inc. to design the needed sewer improvements and combine the water and sewer elements into a single construction package. Original Contract $124,175.00 Supplemental Agreement No. 1 $ 50,425.00 Revised Contract $174,600.00

PURPOSE To approve a Joint Funding Agreement with the United States Department of the Interior Geological Survey for continued operation and maintenance of fourteen streamflow monitoring gauges, Program No. SW809.

BACKGROUND The need to provide for continuous, real-time streamflow monitoring was identified by watershed studies undertaken by the Water System in the mid-l990s. In 1997, the Board of Commissioners authorized an agreement with the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the acknowledged experts in this field, for operation and maintenance of four gauges in four areas of immediate interest within the County. Similar agreements with the USGS have been authorized annually each subsequent year. In 2006, eight sites were added to the original four in response to Cobb County's long-term stream monitoring requirements imposed by the Metropolitan North Georgia Water Planning District. A thirteenth site was added in March, 2010, at the request of Caraustar, Inc., who reimburses the County for related costs. The fourteenth gauge, located on Allatoona Creek at Stilesboro Road,was added in 2012. The annual cost for turn-key services for these gauges is $13,600.00 per gauge, or a total cost of $190,400.00 for fourteen gauges during the time between October 1, 2014 and September 30, 2015. These gauges have proven extremely useful in analyzing and addressing issues related to rainfall events, such as the 6.3 inch, three-hour event in the Sewell Mill Creek basin on July 11, 2012, and the flood of September 21, 2009.

PURPOSE To authorize the advertisement for and conduct of a public hearing for the proposed closure and abandonment of a portion of Peach Lane, located in Land Lot 748 of the 17th District, 2nd Section, Cobb County, Georgia.

BACKGROUND JW Homes, LLC and Wellstar Health Systems, Inc. (Wellstar), have purchased all of the property adjacent to a portion of Peach Lane. The JW Homes, LLC property has been rezoned for redevelopment as approved by Cobb County Z-99 (2006). Public access along this portion of Peach Lane is no longer needed.

The right-of-way on this portion of Peach Lane, adjacent to JW Homes, LLC and Wellstar property, is required to allow full utilization of the property purchased by JW Homes, LLC; therefore, JW Homes, LLC has requested the County close and abandon the public right-of-way on this portion of Peach Lane, as this section of street no longer serves a public purpose. Wellstar has agreed to the County approving the JW Homes, LLC request for abandonment of the public right-of-way on this portion of Peach Lane, including the portion that abuts the Wellstar property.

In accordance with O.C.G.A. §32-7-2, a public hearing must be held prior to the closing and abandonment of a public street. The District Commissioner is aware of this request.

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 one parcel on Windy Hill Road (West), Project No. E4030.

BACKGROUND

Windy Hill Road (West) is an approved thoroughfare improvements project in the 2011 SPLOST Transportation Improvements Program (TIP). The project scope includes the addition of a third through lane in each direction on the west side of the I-75/Windy Hill Road Interchange, from the I-75 southbound off ramp to Cobb Parkway, and from Cobb Parkway to the I-75 southbound on ramp, for a distance of approximately 0.80 miles. Median improvements are also included. 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.

Comm. Dist. 2


of 177

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.

FUNDING N/A

RECOMMENDATION The Board of Commissioners 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.; authorize the commencement of condemnation proceedings on one parcel on Windy Hill Road (West), Project No. E4030; adopt a Resolution and Order in form substantially similar to the attached, and as approved by the County Attorney's Office; and further authorize the Chairman to execute the necessary documents.

PURPOSE To amend previously adopted actions regarding condemnation proceedings on two parcels on Windy Hill Road (West), Project No. E4030.

BACKGROUND

Windy Hill Road (West) is an approved thoroughfare improvements project in the 2011 SPLOST Transportation Improvements Program (TIP). The project scope includes the addition of a third through lane in each direction on the west side of the I-75/Windy Hill Road Interchange, from the I-75 southbound off ramp to Cobb Parkway, and from Cobb Parkway to the I-75 southbound on ramp, for a distance of approximately 0.80 miles. Median improvements are also included. 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. On June 10, 2014, the Board of Commissioners approved a request to determine that circumstances were such that it was necessary to proceed with condemnation proceedings on Parcel 12 within the Windy Hill Road (West) project. Due to plan revisions, the required driveway easement of 1,345.94 square feet was changed to a required temporary construction easement of the same area; therefore, it is necessary to amend the type of required easement acquisition previously approved.

Comm. Dist. 2


of 177

On July 22, 2014, the Board of Commissioners approved a request to determine that circumstances were such that it was necessary to proceed with condemnation proceedings on Parcel 101 within the Windy Hill Road (West) project. Due to plan revisions, the required right-of-way of 1,685.04 square feet was increased to 1,833.82 square feet; the permanent wall easement of 1,050.16 square feet was changed to a temporary wall easement of 914.44 square feet; the temporary construction easement was reduced from 1,364.73 square feet to 314.57 square feet; and the temporary driveway easement of 784.08 square feet was increased to 906.40 square feet; therefore, it is necessary to amend the areas of required easement acquisition previously approved.

FUNDING N/A

RECOMMENDATION The Board of Commissioners amend previously adopted actions regarding condemnation proceedings on two parcels on Windy Hill Road (West), Project No. E4030, by changing the previously required driveway easement for Parcel 12 to a required temporary construction easement of the same area; and by increasing the area of required right-of-way acquistion, changing the required permanent wall easement to a temporary wall easement of reduced area, reducing the required temporary construction easement, and increasing the temporary driveway easement for Parcel 101; adopt a Resolution and Order for each parcel in form substantially similar to the attached, and as approved by the County Attorney's Office; and authorize the Chairman to execute the necessary documents.

PURPOSE To approve a contract with the Georgia Department of Human Services for FY15 Federal Transit Administration Section 5310 Program funding.

BACKGROUND

On February 11, 2014, the Board of Commissioners adopted a resolution authorizing the submission of an application to the Georgia Department of Human Services (DHS) for FY15 Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5310 Program funding. The FTA Section 5310 Program funds, which are targeted for providing transportation services to seniors and persons with disabilities, are managed by the DHS. Under the State Management Plan, DHS contracts with only one entity per County, who may then sub-allocate funds to other entities to serve target populations. As the lead agency, Cobb County will sub-allocate funds to Right in the Community, Inc., Cobb–Douglas Community Services Board, Inc., the Cobb County Division of Family and Children Services, and Briggs & Associates, Inc. The FY15 FTA Section 5310 Program funding allocation totals $91,458.00. No local match funding is required. A portion of the funds will be retained for Cobb Senior Services and Cobb Community Transit (CCT) transportation programs. CCT will perform administrative oversight of the program, and will track spending and distribute fare media to service providers and clients. Concurrent with this agenda item, the Department is presenting an agenda item to the Board requesting approval of Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with each sub-recipient for their sub-allocation of the FY15 FTA Section 5310 Program funding.

Comm. Dist.

All


of 177

The contract with DHS has been reviewed by the County Attorney's Office.

FUNDING Appropriate receipt of FY15 Federal Transit Administration Section 5310 Program funding to the Transit Capital Projects Fund as follows:

Increase Expenditure: 202-050-4868-4868-6628 (Transit Fare Media) $91,458.00

RECOMMENDATION The Board of Commissioners approve a contract with the Georgia Department of Human Services (DHS), in an amount not to exceed $91,458.00, for FY15 Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5310 Program funding; authorize the corresponding budget transactions; and further authorize the Chairman to execute the necessary documents.

BACKGROUND

On February 11, 2014, the Board of Commissioners adopted a resolution authorizing the submission of an application to the Georgia Department of Human Services (DHS) for FY15 Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5310 Program funding. On August 26, 2014, concurrent with this agenda item, the Board is anticipated to approve a contract with DHS for FY15 FTA Section 5310 Program funding in the amount of $91,458.00. No local match funding will be required. The required Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with Right in the Community, Inc. (RITC), the Cobb County Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS), Cobb-Douglas Community Services Board, Inc. (CSB), and Briggs & Associates, Inc. (Briggs), will allow each organization to utilize a portion of the FY15 FTA Section 5310 Program funding.

BACKGROUND

In April of 2014, the Board of Commissioners and South Cobb Redevelopment Authority authorized the Community Development Agency to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) to secure appropriate professional services to assist in the development of a marketing and branding strategy 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. Some of the goals for conducting the “South Cobb Marketing and Branding Strategy” include: • Creating a new identity for South Cobb that will aid in altering the misconceptions of the area. • Creating a sense of place in South Cobb through the creation of signage, brand identity, marketing materials, and an online process. • Marketing South Cobb to businesses and developers, both commercial and residential.

The marketing and branding strategy planning process is intended to involve community stakeholders who have 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.

Comm. Dist. 4

IMPACT STATEMENT The budget for the project has not been calculated, but we assume that the total cost will exceed $100,000.00. The bid price from the top ranked firm is a range from $101,975.00 to $176,775.00, based upon services provided. A final cost of services will be determined in coordination with the final scope of work and contract.

FUNDING N/A

PURPOSE To consider approval of amendments to the Inventory of Redevelopment Sites as contained in the Cobb County Comprehensive Plan.

BACKGROUND In 2011, the Board of Commissioners approved an update to the Cobb County Inventory of Redevelopment Sites. This inventory is included as an appendix to the Cobb County Comprehensive Plan. Periodically, in order to ensure that the inventory is current, staff recommends additions and deletions to the inventory based upon changing market conditions. The inventory was last updated in February of 2014.

As part of the August 2014 update, 2955 Cobb Parkway will be recommended for removal from the inventory. This site has seen substantial investment from the property owner in recent years with new facades and new construction. It is now a thriving suburban plaza that is an excellent example of reinvestment in the retail environment.

PURPOSE To approve a request from the City of Smyrna consenting to the terms of the First Amendment to the Development Agreement; to eliminate the deadline for the commencement of significant construction projects; to establish 2013 as the new base year for the calculating the Tax Allocation Increment for the Belmont Hills Redevelopment Project; and authorize the County Manager to send a letter to the City of Smyrna with respect to these matters.

BACKGROUND

In December 2003, Cobb County, the City of Smyrna and the Cobb County Board of Education entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement specifying the terms under which the County consented to the creation of a tax allocation district (the "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 in order 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,

Comm. Dist.

All

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 has had an adverse effect on redevelopment projects throughout the country. This has created an environment in which financing for any development project, especially mixed-used, has become particularly challenging. This challenging environment most likely will affect the ability of this redevelopment project to meet the existing December 31, 2011 date for Commencement of Construction of Significant Projects. Staff has considered these factors and believes an adjusted deadline of December 31, 2013 that 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 consider as it relates to the Belmont Hill TAD: 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 Intergovernmental Agreement (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. This request was reviewed and based on the complexity of the issues associated with two of the three requests staff has determined that there is not sufficient time to properly assess the potential impacts of all the requests being made by the City of Smyrna at this time. In an effort to keep the County’s existing consent resolution (allowing the use of its tax increment) intact beyond the deadline of December 31, 2013 for this redevelopment project, staff recommended that the deadline for commencement of significant construction (Item #2 listed above) be extended to December 31, 2014 or the Board of Commissioners approve the extension of deadline for the commencement of the significant construction until December 19, 2014. It was determined that items #1 and #3 listed above could be addressed sometime during the calendar year 2014 after staff had an adequate amount of time to properly assess the potential impacts from these requests in order to determine what is in the best interest of the County. Consistent with this understanding, staff has reviewed the two remaining requests along with the justifications submitted by the City of Smyrna and based on our understanding of this information is recommending that they be approved. Furthermore, staff has investigated the development status of the project and has confirmed that land disturbance permits have been issued for portions of this project and that building plans have been submitted to the City of Smyrna for review and approval for one of the development pods associated with this project. Building permits for this portion of this project will be issued when the building plans are picked up by the developer/owner. Given our understanding of the current development status of the project, staff would also recommend that the current deadline (December 19, 2014) for the commencement of significant construction projects be eliminated at this time.

PURPOSE To approve a contract with American Contractors Grading and Paving, Inc., for drainage system repairs on Brett Circle, Project No. E2370, MIS Contract No. 000813.

BACKGROUND

Drainage System Improvements is an approved component in the 2011 SPLOST Transportation Improvements Program. Brett Circle is classified as a local residential street on the County’s Major Thoroughfare Plan. The existing culvert crossing in the vicinity of 2965 Brett Circle consists of a 48-inch corrugated metal pipe. The invert of the pipe has deteriorated, the outlet headwall is failing, and the roadway shoulder will need to be stabilized behind the outlet headwall. The project scope includes paving the invert with concrete, replacing the outlet headwall, pressure grouting the voids around the pipe, and stabilizing the roadway shoulder. 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. Bids were received on August 1, 2014, from the following companies:

Company Bid Amount

American Contractors Grading and Paving, Inc. $56,355.02

D&H Construction Company, Inc. $58,522.50

Comm. Dist. 1

BACKGROUND

Skip Spann Connector is an approved thoroughfare improvements project in the 2011 SPLOST Transportation Improvements Program and is also an approved project in the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) PLAN 2040 Regional Transportation Plan, designated as State P.I. No. 0010157, and ARC Project No. CO-400. This project consists of construction of a new roadway with a grade separation over I-75, connecting Frey Road to Townpark Lane, including slip ramps connecting the I-75 southbound exit ramp to Frey Road, and Busbee Drive to the I-75 northbound entrance ramp. The project also includes construction of a roundabout at Townpark Lane and Busbee Drive. The total project length is 0.54 miles. On February 11, 2014, the Board of Commisioners approved a Construction Agreement with the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) for Skip Spann Connector. Under the terms of the agreement, the State will fund 80 percent of the GDOT eligible construction costs, up to a maximum amount of $10,645,758.95. The County will be responsible for funding 20 percent of the GDOT eligible construction costs, up to $2,661,439.74, and 100 percent of any construction costs exceeding the State’s maximum. Also on February 11, 2014, the Board approved a contract with C.W. Matthews Contracting Company, Inc., for the construction of Skip Spann Connector.

Details for action requested are as follows: On February 5, 2014, C.W. Matthews Contracting Company, Inc., submitted a value engineering proposal which would eliminate the need to replace a 36-inch storm drain pipe running under I-75. Supplemental Agreement No. 1, in an amount not to exceed $138,414.39, will be required for additional contract items associated with this proposal. Change Order No. 1, a savings of $238,628.79, will be required to revise the current contract quantities associated with this proposal. The net result is a savings to the project in the amount of $100,214.40. An additional proposal was submitted by the contractor on April 4, 2014, requesting to modify the construction method used to install the piling at Bent 1 of the bridge, ensuring a stable foundation without the necessity of additional in-place embankment material and monitoring. Change Order No. 2, a savings in the amount of $27,209.38, will be required for this modification. Both proposals were submitted to GDOT for consideration, and were approved on June 11, 2014. Supplemental Agreement No. 1, Change Order No. 1, and Change Order No. 2 to the contract with C.W. Matthews Contracting Company, Inc., for Skip Spann Connector are requested for the addition of contract items associated with the two proposals and the revision of existing contract quantities, resulting in a total net savings to the project in the amount of $127,423.78.
