PURPOSE
To approve an agreement with Cecil Dale Lawrence related to the provision of wastewater
service to Atlanta West Campground and a three-party easement related thereto.

BACKGROUND
The Atlanta West Campground, owned and operated by Cecil Dale Lawrence, is located at 2420
Old Alabama Road, Austell. It is a viable business with improvements made periodically to
retain and attract customers. The property is currently served by an 8-inch gravity sewer that
connects directly into an extensive 60-inch interceptor. Flows from the interceptor are pumped
across the County by the Sweetwater Creek Pump Station, an out-dated facility, for treatment
and discharge. These facilities are all owned and operated by Cobb County. Construction of the
South Cobb Tunnel will ultimately allow for abandonment of the 60-inch interceptor and
pumping facility, resulting in substantial cost savings to the County. In order to accomplish this,
however, it is necessary to make provision for the wastewater flows generated by Atlanta West
Campground.
There is an existing Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority (DDCWSA)
sewer line located in reasonable proximity to the Campground property; however, because of its
elevation, only a portion of the Campground can be connected to the sewer by gravity flow. The
loss of anticipated revenue associated with rendering the remainder of the Campground
unusable is substantial, as would be the cost of acquisition of the sites for maintenance as
greenspace.

Comm. Dist.

Agenda Item Number. 2

As an alternative, Mr. Lawrence has agreed to allow the construction of a small pump station
and force main to provide a connection of his entire site to the DDCWSA system. He is willing
to accept ownership of and responsibility for the system in exchange for compensation to offset
his long term operation, maintenance, and replacement costs. Through the terms of the
proposed agreement, the Water System proposes to pay Mr. Lawrence $125,000 in
exchange for his acceptance of the proposed pump station and force main, relieving Cobb
County of any responsibility associated therewith.
Further, Mr. Lawrence has agreed to grant Cobb County a temporary access easement to his
property as required for construction. In addition, a three-party easement among Cobb County
(Grantee); Real Property Investment Group, LLC and G-CASA, LLC (Grantor); and Cecil Dale
Lawrence (Intended Final Grantee) is proposed for the Water System to construct the
connection to the DDCWSA system on adjacent property and allow Mr. Lawrence to maintain it
as required after he takes ownership.
The cost to construct the pump station and force main is included in the Carroll Creek and
Sweetwater Creek Sewer Replacements project, Program No. S2061, which was approved by
the Board of Commissioners on February 10, 2015. No additional funding is needed for
construction. This work represents the final construction in the Water System’s multi-year effort
to upgrade its wastewater management system in the Sweetwater basin. A related
intergovernmental agreement with DDCWSA will be brought to the Board for consideration in
the near future.

PURPOSE
To authorize creation of the Northwest Cobb Sewer Assessment Area.

BACKGROUND
The Northwest Cobb Land Vulnerability Analysis, adopted by the Cobb County Board of
Commissioners in 2014, anticipates a commercial corridor along both sides of Cobb Parkway
from Cedarcrest Road to Bartow County. The subject area comprises a number of small parcels,
most of which have frontage on Cobb Parkway. In general terms, much of the development in
the area has been low intensity commercial in nature to date.
The 2014 study suggests that centralized sewer is needed to accommodate the level of activity
anticipated through the corridor. While there is no access from this area to Cobb County
wastewater treatment facilities, there is an intergovernmental agreement in place with Paulding
County to accept and treat wastewater flows generated in the corridor.
In order to serve the anticipated development most efficiently, it is proposed that a gravity sewer
line be constructed on each side of Cobb Parkway, connecting the downstream ends of these
lines to the existing interceptor that crosses under Cobb Parkway to the north of Cedarcrest
Road. The new facilities would be constructed by Cobb County, but costs would be recovered
through a special assessment to properties in the area as they connect to the system.
It is anticipated that the proposed sewers would cost on the order of $1.3 million to construct
and would serve approximately 80 acres. On the basis of these preliminary estimates, the
assessment would be $16,250 per acre. The actual assessment would be determined after costs
are finalized.

Agenda Item Number. 3

Should the Board of Commissioners authorize creation of the Northwest Cobb Sewer
Assessment Area, the Water System will procure preliminary engineering/design services for
the work and solicit bids for construction. Once firm pricing is available, approval will be
sought from the Board prior to initiation of construction.

RECOMMENDATION
The Board of Commissioners authorize the creation of the Northwest Cobb Sewer Assessment
Area.

PURPOSE
To authorize Encroachment Agreements with Georgia Power Company and with CSX
Transportation, Inc. to encroach into their Rights of Way for the purpose of subsurface testing
for Olympic Industrial Drive Storm Drain Replacement, Program No. SW1696.

BACKGROUND
The Water System is evaluating the feasibility of a major storm drainage system relocation in
the Olympic Industrial Drive area as a result of continuing deterioration of existing stormwater
management infrastructure. In order to generate data required to identify and evaluate
replacement strategies, soil borings at 21 locations along the 1,360-foot alignment are
proposed. The proposed alignment passes through properties controlled by Georgia Power and
CSX Transpotation near the intersection of Olympic Industrial Drive and Plant Atkinson Road.
Proposed encroachment agreements have been obtained from the two grantors, and have been
reviewed by County Legal staff. Although there will be no charge for the easement agreement
with Georgia Power Company, CSX Transportation will charge a fee of $6,250.00 for their
encroachment license and associated liability insurance. Should the project move forward as
anticipated, these instruments will also allow construction through the referenced properties.

PURPOSE
To authorize the acceptance of an existing storm drainage pipe located at 2374 Buckley Court
and authorize corresponding revision to the final plat for Flintshire Subdivision.

BACKGROUND
Upon responding to a drainage inquiry at 2374 Buckley Court, it was discovered that the storm
drainage pipe at this address was not installed at its platted location. The platted storm drainage
easement is along the western property line, but the storm drainage pipe was actually installed
along the southern property line. It is thought that a field change was made during construction
and that the final plat was never re-recorded to reflect the change.
The Water System is not authorized to work on private property outside of the recorded
drainage easement and the storm drainage pipe at its current location was never formally
dedicated to Cobb County. The purpose of this agenda item is to correct this apparent
administrative oversight and accept the pipe at its current location.
Upon authorization by the Cobb County Board of Commissioners, the Water System will have
the final plat revised and re-recorded, and will perform the required maintenance on the existing
storm drainage line.

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 two parcels on
Hembree Road (Pope High School), Project No. E8030.

BACKGROUND
Hembree Road (Pope High School) is an approved school zone safety and operational
improvements project in both the 2005 and 2011 SPLOST Transportation Improvements
Programs (TIPs). Project costs associated with engineering and right-of-way are being funded in
the 2011 SPLOST TIP, while construction costs will be funded in the 2005 SPLOST TIP.
The project consists of constructing a roundabout at the currently signalized intersection of
Hembree Road and Meadow Drive/Pope High School, with entering and exiting right-turn bypass lanes. The existing traffic signal will be removed during the roundabout construction.
Traffic circulation and pedestrian improvements on the school site are included to facilitate
roundabout traffic ingress and egress, and to improve pedestrian access on campus. The
Department and Cobb County School District (CCSD) coordinated efforts, in accordance with
the Working Protocol, in developing plans for this joint project.
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, recommend condemnation actions be
filed.

Agenda Item Number. 6

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.

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 two parcels on Hembree
Road (Pope High School), Project No. E8030; adopt Resolutions and Orders 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 approve the concept of an aviation park at Cobb County International Airport – McCollum
Field.

BACKGROUND

The Town Center Community Improvement District (TCCID) has proposed to construct an
aviation park on Cobb County International Airport – McCollum Field (Airport) property,
located at the corner of Barrett Lakes Boulevard and Cobb Place Boulevard. The approximate
three acre park will serve as an observation area for the public to view aircraft landing and
taking off, and will also serve as a trailhead for Noonday Creek Trail.
As this project is located within the TCCID, the TCCID will secure 100 percent of the design
and construction costs for development of the proposed aviation park through a combination of
TCCID allocated funding and philanthropic contributions to the Town Center Community

PURPOSE
To approve Supplemental Agreement No. 1 to Work Order No. E4 with Michael Baker International Inc. for
completion of a Noise Study as part of the Master Plan Update for Cobb County International Airport –
McCollum Field, MIS Contract No. 000884.

BACKGROUND
On May 26, 2015, the Board of Commissioners approved Work Order No. E4 with The LPA Group, Inc., in an
amount not to exceed $167,057.00, for a Master Plan Update for Cobb County International Airport –
McCollum Field (Airport).
On September 22, 2015, the Board authorized the acceptance of the assignment of the capital improvement
projects services Agreement with The LPA Group, Inc., to Michael Baker International, Inc.
To appropriately plan for the future development of the Airport in accordance with the Board’s vision
of accommodating both community and business aircraft, it is necessary to update the current Master Plan,
which was initiated in 2006. The update will include forecasting the future anticipated types and number
of housed aircraft and runway operations at the Airport. An evaluation of this forecast will identify the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) standards that will be applied to future development.
Based on discussions with the State of Georgia Division of Aviation (State), it was determined that completion
of a noise study would provide useful information for the Board in determining potential noise impacts of any
future improvements. The State has confirmed that a noise study would be eligible for reimbursement in a
future federal grant.

Page 46 of 208

Agenda Item Number. 8

PURPOSE
To approve an Encroachment Agreement with Atlanta Gas Light Company for encroachment
upon an existing utility easement located on Bob Callan Trunk Trail, Phase 2, Segment A, at
Rottenwood Creek, State P.I. No. 0010009, Cobb County Project No. TR474.

BACKGROUND
Bob Callan Trunk Trail, Phase 2, Segment A, is an approved project in the Atlanta Regional
Commission (ARC) PLAN 2040 Regional Transportation Plan, designated as State P.I. No.
0010009 and ARC Project No. CO-446.
Phase 2 of this multi-use trail project was initiated by the Cumberland Community Improvement
District as a single project to provide an extension of the existing network of trails in the
Cumberland area. This project will add a ten-foot wide multi-use trail from Interstate North
Parkway to Terrell Mill Road, for a distance of 2.1 miles.
On July 3, 2013, the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) approved a revised concept
for the separation of Phase 2 into two segments. Segment A begins at the existing Bob Callan
Trailhead on Interstate North Parkway, and ends at the Interstate North Parkway crossing of
Rottenwood Creek. Segment B will continue along Rottenwood Creek, extending to Terrell Mill
Road. Segment A retained the original State P.I. No. 0010009, while Segment B was designated
as State P.I. No. 0012808.
As a result of the construction of the multi-use trail project, some improvements will encroach
upon the Atlanta Gas Light Company permanent easement; therefore, an agreement must be
entered into by both parties for the encroachment.
The Encroachment Agreement with Atlanta Gas Light Company has been reviewed by the
County Attorney’s Office.

PURPOSE
To approve the First Amendment to the Aging Subgrant Agreement with the Atlanta Regional
Commission for Federal Transit Administration Section 5310 New Freedom Disabled Senior
Transportation Voucher Program funding.

BACKGROUND
The Section 5310 Program for Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Persons with Disabilities is a
transit program which was revised under the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century
Act (MAP-21), the prior federal transportation legislation. This formula-based program, which
has been continued under the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, is intended
to enhance mobility for seniors and persons with disabilities by providing funds for programs to
serve the special needs of transit-dependent populations beyond traditional public transportation
services and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) complementary Paratransit services.
The program stipulates that in urbanized areas with more than 200,000 residents, the Chief
Executive Officer of the State must designate one or more public bodies to be the recipient(s) of
certain Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funds. The Governor of the State of Georgia has
designated the State Department of Human Services (DHS) as the designated recipient of
Section 5310 Program funds for the State of Georgia. The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit
Authority (MARTA) was the former designated recipient for Section 5317 New Freedom
Program funds, which has now been incorporated into the Section 5310 Program. DHS has
contracted with the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) to administer and manage the funds in
the Atlanta metropolitan area.

Agenda Item Number. 10

On February 26, 2008, the Board of Commissioners approved a Subgrant Agreement with
MARTA for FTA New Freedom Disabled Senior Transportation Voucher Program funding, in
the amount of $650,000.00.
On May 12, 2009, the Board approved Amendment No. 1 to the Subgrant Agreement with
MARTA for a revision to the FTA New Freedom Disabled Senior Transportation Voucher
Program, which increased the total annual voucher allotment for certain program participants.
On April 9, 2013, the Board approved Amendment No. 2 to the Subgrant Agreement with
MARTA for the FTA New Freedom Disabled Senior Transportation Voucher Program,
which increased funding in the amount of $243,190.00.
On October 13, 2015, the Board approved the Aging Subgrant Agreement with ARC, in an
amount not to exceed $115,000.00, for FTA Section 5310 New Freedom Disabled Senior
Transportation Voucher Program funding. The Board also authorized an increase of the annual
program participant allotment to $1,800.00, with a maximum of $3,600.00, for chronic
condition cases.
The Department has recently been granted an extension to the current June 30, 2016 expiration
date of the Aging Subgrant Agreement with ARC to allow more time to expend remaining funds
and to implement recently approved changes in delivery of the program. The Department
recommends approval of the First Amendment to the Aging Subgrant Agreement with ARC,
which will extend the expiration date to December 31, 2016.
The First Amendment to the Aging Subgrant Agreement with ARC has been reviewed by the
County Attorney's Office.

the necessary documents, in a form substantially similar to those provided under separate cover
and as approved by the County Attorney's Office.

PURPOSE
To approve a contract with Infax, Inc. for the purchase of a docket system for the Magistrate Court,
and authorize funding for associated in-house construction and installation costs.

BACKGROUND
The Magistrate Court has requested that an electronic docket system be installed in the current
court facilities. This was initially partially funded in FY15 with the balance to be funded in
FY16. The Magistrate Court requested that the FY15 portion be “reserved” to be utilized with
the current funding, as both years’ funding are required. The electronic docket system will make
access to the court by the citizens more efficient and manageable.
Infax, Inc. provided a price of $26,735.00 for all materials of the docket system. Infax, Inc., has
been determined by the Magistrate Court, Information Services, and the Purchasing Department
to be a sole source to properly interact with the court’s current technology applications and
match that of the other courts.
In addition to the equipment purchase, some construction and installation will be required to be
performed by in-house Property Management crews. Procurement of materials necessary for the
installation will be handled through the Purchasing Department.

DATE:

April 26, 2016

PURPOSE
To authorize the advertisement and acceptance of sealed bids from interested manufacturers
regarding the proposed purchase of apparatus radio and intercom systems.

BACKGROUND
While all Cobb Fire & Emergency Services apparatus siren systems fall within limits set by the
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), there have been a number of cases where
personnel have filed Workers Compensation claims with Cobb County for diagnosed hearing
loss.
CCFES wishes to solicit sealed bids from interested manufacturers for this purchase on existing
apparatus which do not have these systems already installed. The purchase of these systems
would limit exposure to this occupational hazard, enhance communications within the cabs of
these vehicles, minimize hearing loss, and fall within recent industry best practices. Such
systems also enhance clearer communications between crew members and dispatch when riding
in the cab.

FUNDING
CCFES will bring forth a subsequent agenda item when bids are unsealed and evaluated for cost
and adherence to bid specifications set forth.

RECOMMENDATION
The Board of Commissioners authorize the advertisement and acceptance of sealed bids from
interested manufacturers regarding the proposed purchase of apparatus radio and intercom systems.

PURPOSE
To authorize the award of Cobb Community Foundation grants.

BACKGROUND
At the November 24, 2015 BOC meeting the Board of Commissioners approved the
appropriation from reserves $250,000.00 for Community Impact Grants (CIG) to be managed
through the Cobb Community Foundation (CCF). CCF was also allocated $35,000.00 for
administrative cost for this program.
The CIG program provides funds to selected non-profit organizations to support programs and
projects that create Quality of Life in Cobb County through Cobb County nonprofit
organizations that deliver human services, inspire education opportunities, promote and develop
cultural arts, create health initiatives, improve the well-being of vulnerable populations, improve
community livability and make an environmental impact to citizens in Cobb County. These
awards are made in increments from $5,000.00 and $10,000.00 dollars.
This is the second year in which CCF has managed the Community Impact Grant program on
behalf of the County. Year 1 of this program had all grant dollars distributed up front when
formally awarded by CCF. Invoices were then submitted back to CCF for compliance review
which was conducted by CCF, county staff and an independent CPA. All grantees were found
compliant with one grantee returning $1,115,00 back to the County for unspent funds. Year 2 of
this grant will distribute monies on a reimbursement basis only. Grantees will submit invoices
to CCF who will review for compliance and then distribute grant funds accordingly. At the end
of this program year County staff will once again review all awards as well as an independent
CPA hired by CCF.

NOW, THEREFORE, it is mutually agreed as follows:
SECTION ONE
A.

CCF agrees to provide services as further described on the Scope of Services which is
attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein as if fully set forth (hereinafter
referred to as the Services). Failure to provide said Services in the manner described in
Exhibit A shall constitute a default under this Agreement. CCF further agrees that the
Scope of Services stated in Exhibit A is consistent with its Community Impact Grant
Program as approved by the COUNTY. Failure to provide such Services or to receive such
written approval of the modification of the Scope of Services shall be considered a breach
of this Agreement and require CCF to repay any and all grant funds paid to the CCF under
this Agreement.

B.

CCF has provided a budget acceptable to the COUNTY showing the planned CCF
administrative expenditures of funds to be received from the COUNTY. The CCF budget

forth (hereinafter referred to as the Budget). CCF agrees to maintain accurate records of
the expenditure and disposition of COUNTY funds, such records to be in accordance with
good accounting practices, and made available for inspection and audit by the COUNTY
at such times as the COUNTY may request.
The COUNTY agrees that it will pay to CCF an amount not to exceed TWO HUNDRED EIGHTYFIVE THOUSAND AND NO/00 DOLLARS ($285,000.00) of which $250,000.00 will be subgrants awarded in amounts not to exceed $10,000.00 to non-profit organizations providing services
within Cobb County and $35,000.00 shall be for administrative expenses of CCF.
CCF shall receive approval by the Cobb County Board of Commissioners of the selected sub-grant
recipients before disbursement of the COUNTY funds to the sub-grant recipients. CCF shall
disburse to the approved sub-grant recipients on a reimbursement basis. All sub-grant payments
will be made directly by CCF to the sub-grant recipients. CCF will provide to the COUNTY
Finance Department no later than September 30, 2016, (i) documentation of expenditures in

to the necessary, reasonable and eligible costs of providing the Services, subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement and any CCF sub-grant agreement, and local, State
and Federal Laws and regulations. In no event shall the allowable sub-grant costs to be
paid by CCF for Services with COUNTY funds exceed the total of the approved sub-grant
approved by the COUNTY and any budgeted Program Income.

D.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE ABOVE OR ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS
AGREEMENT, THE COUNTY SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR COSTS
INCURRED WHICH EXCEED THE FUNDS OBLIGATED UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT. IT IS EXCLUSIVE RESPONSIBILITY OF CCF TO MONITOR AND
CONTROL ITS COSTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

E.

It is understood and agreed between the Parties that a prerequisite to any payment

by the COUNTY. Should the COUNTY, in its sole discretion, fail to receive funds in
sufficient amounts to cover Agreement eligible costs, the COUNTY may terminate this
Agreement and any obligations by the COUNTY to CCF shall not be deemed to be nor
construed to be an obligation of the COUNTY. In the event such receipts are determined
by COUNTY to be insufficient or unavailable for any payment hereunder, the COUNTY
shall certify that fact to the other party or parties to this Agreement and such certification
shall be conclusive. Should funds later be appropriated and/or made available to the
COUNTY retroactively to any given date for payment(s) under the terms and provisions
of this Agreement, it shall be valid and subsisting as to such payment(s) authorized and so
funded, and they shall be made hereunder to the same extent as if the funds had been
appropriated and made available in a timely fashion.

PRESENTATION OF PROCLAMATION DESIGNATING THE MONTH
OF APRIL 2016 AS COMMUNITY BANKING MONTH IN COBB COUNTY
Chairman Lee presented the following proclamation to representatives of Georgia
Community Banks designating April 2016 as Community Banking Month in Cobb
County:
WHEREAS

WHEREAS

WHEREAS

WHEREAS

THEREFORE

For more than 150 years, Georgia community banks have
provided the local support our communities need to prosper
and grow. Community banks have established a tradition of
extensive community involvement, consistently reinvesting
into areas they serve in the form of residential, commercial,
agricultural and consumer loans; and,
Community banks play a significant role in economic
development by helping generate new business
opportunities and jobs, thereby continuing to strengthen the
economy of hundreds of cities and towns across Georgia.
Community banks serve as a significant employer in Georgia
with thousands of men and women in full and part-time
positions, serving millions of account holders as well as
thousands of shareholders; and,
Community banks focus on the prosperity of urban,
suburban and rural areas, meeting the various financial needs
of consumers, small businesses, farmers and corporations in
their hometowns. This is achieved by reinvesting, on
average, 95 percent of their loan portfolio in their respective
communities through residential mortgages and commercial,
agricultural and student loans; and,
In order to create a greater public awareness and
understanding of the important role that community banks
have played and will continue to play in our community,
Cobb County recognizes Community Banking Month during
the month of April; now
In recognition of your ongoing commitment and
contribution to the community and the state of Georgia, we
the Cobb County Board of Commissioners, do hereby
proclaim April 2016 as Community Banking Month.
This, the 12th day of April, 2016.

Child abuse and neglect are significant problems in the

lasting; and

WHEREAS

In the State of Georgia, one child is the victim of confirmed

Prevention and is governed by a volunteer board of directors
comprised of prominent professionals and citizens; and

WHEREAS

SafePath Children’s Advocacy Center, Inc. has partnered
with the Cobb County community in improving the lives of
child victims of abuse by reducing the trauma to children and
their non-offending caregivers; and

WHEREAS

SafePath Children’s Advocacy Center, Inc. is dedicated to
providing a comprehensive team approach to the
investigation, prosecution, treatment and prevention of child
abuse, including physical abuse, neglect, sexual abuse,
sexual exploitation, internet crimes, child fatalities and
children who have witnessed domestic violence and
homicide; and

WHEREAS

SafePath Children’s Advocacy Center, Inc. is fully
accredited at the national level by the National Children’s
Alliance and is a Full Member of the Children’s Advocacy
Centers of Georgia, Inc. SafePath serves as a mentor site for
new, developing and existing child advocacy centers around
the country; and

WHEREAS

Under the guidance, dedication and vision of their board of
directors, SafePath has provided approximately 13,300 child
victims and their non-offending caregivers over 66,000 units
of service since the Center’s inception in 1995; now

THEREFORE

We, the Cobb County Board of Commissioners, do hereby
proclaim the month of April “Child Abuse Prevention
Month” in Cobb County and commend SafePath Children’s

PRESENTATION OF PROCLAMATION TO THE SONS OF THE
AMERICAN REVOLUTION DESIGNATING APRIL 19, 2016 AS
PATRIOTS DAY IN COBB COUNTY
Commissioner Birrell presented the following Proclamation to members of the
Sons of the American Revolution designating April 19, 2016 as Patriots Day in
Cobb County:
WHEREAS

April 19th marks the date in 1775 when the towns of
Lexington and Concord, Mass., were marched upon by the
British regulars in an effort to confiscate munitions of the
local militia; and

WHEREAS

The resulting “shot heard ‘round the world” and the rout of
the Redcoats are now celebrated as Patriots’ Day; and

WHEREAS

On April 19, 1778, Col. Samuel Elbert, commanding three
Georgia Navy galleys: Lee, Washington and Bulloch,
encountered three British ships in the Frederica River near
St. Simons Island. After five hours of naval action, the
British ships were captured by Col. Elbert and the Georgia
Navy. This victory boosted patriot morale and caused the
British to delay the invasion of Georgia by more than eight
months; and

WHEREAS

Patriots’ Day serves to remind citizens of the American
Revolution and the sacrifices endured during the years of
struggle by patriots such as Captain John Collins for
American independence; and

WHEREAS

The descendants of the soldiers who fought in the American
Revolution encourage the community to proclaim April 19th
of each year a Patriots’ Day in commemoration of the
American Revolution and the struggle for independence;
now,

THEREFORE

We, the Cobb County Board of Commissioners do proclaim
April 19, 2016, as Patriots’ Day and encourage all residents
to become more knowledgeable of the role which the
Revolutionary War played in the history of our county and
our country.
This, the 12th day of April, 2016.

Elementary School. CCSD has committed $113,799.00 to fund the school site portion of this
project.
The project consists of lengthening the existing right turn lane on Old Stilesboro Road and
widening the main school driveway where it intersects the roadway. Associated school site
driveway and parking lot enhancements will improve on-site queuing and facilitate roadway
improvements. The Department and CCSD have coordinated efforts, in accordance with the
Working Protocol, in developing plans for this joint project.
The Invitation to Bid was advertised in the Marietta Daily Journal on February 29, 2016, and

construction of Clay Road Sidewalk, State P.I. No. 0009014, Cobb County Project No. D7210,
MIS Contract No. 000583.

BACKGROUND
Clay Road Sidewalk is an approved project in the Sidewalks Component of the 2005 SPLOST
Transportation Improvements Program (TIP) and an approved Georgia Department of
Transportation (GDOT) Transportation Enhancement project, designated as State P.I. No.
0009014.
This project consisted of installing 1.63 miles of five-foot wide sidewalk on the south side of Clay
Road, from Austell Road to Mable Lake Drive. Two culverts were extended to accommodate the
sidewalk across Buttermilk Creek Tributary and Clay Branch Creek Tributary.
On August 9, 2011, the Board of Commissioners approved an Agreement for Transportation
Enhancement Activities with GDOT for the construction of Clay Road Sidewalk, State P.I. No.
0009014. Under the terms of the Agreement, GDOT funded 80 percent of the eligible
construction costs, up to a maximum of $750,000.00. Cobb County was responsible for 20 percent
of the eligible construction costs, or $187,500.00, and 100 percent of all construction costs
exceeding the State maximum. Funding for the County’s portion of costs was available in the
2005 SPLOST TIP Fund budget.
On August 12, 2014, the Board approved a contract with Ohmshiv Construction, LLC for
construction of Clay Road Sidewalk.
Details for action requested are as follows:

PURPOSE
To adopt a resolution authorizing the submission of a FY16 Local Maintenance and
Improvement Grant Program application to the Georgia Department of Transportation for Safety
Action Projects.

BACKGROUND
The Department has received a Safety Action Projects Request from the Georgia Department of
Transportation (GDOT) to provide a list of potential projects eligible for funding assistance
available through the FY16 Local Maintenance and Improvement Grant (LMIG) Program.
Department staff has identified four locations where a skid-resistant pavement surface would
reduce the number of single-vehicle collisions resulting from vehicles running off the road. The
projects shown on the attached list include installation of a textured, high friction surface
treatment to be applied onto the existing pavement in horizontal curves, with new pavement
markings.
In order to receive the LMIG funding, Cobb County is required to complete an application that
includes a project description and estimated total project cost.
The Department is in receipt of the required LMIG Program application and has proposed four
projects with an estimated total cost of $676,317.32 for GDOT review. Upon approval of the
proposed project list, the State has committed to fund up to 70 percent of the GDOT eligible
construction costs, in an amount not to exceed $473,422.12. The County will be responsible for
the required 30 percent local match of the GDOT eligible construction costs, or $202,895.20,
and 100 percent of all construction costs exceeding the State maximum. Funding for the
County's share of this project is available in the 2016 SPLOST Transportation Improvements
Program Fund approved budget.

PURPOSE
To approve a Memorandum of Agreement with the Cobb-Marietta Coliseum and Exhibit Hall
Authority for I-285 Multi-Use Bridge, Project Nos. E4210/TR494.

BACKGROUND
The I-285 Multi-Use Bridge project consists of a bridge spanning Galleria Drive, I-285, and
Circle 75 Parkway to SunTrust Park. The total project length is approximately 1,110 feet.
The mixed use developments in the Cumberland area cater to residents and patrons 365 days per
year. The purpose of this multi-use bridge is to provide safe connectivity and mobility between
commercial, residential and entertainment options within the Cumberland area. The proposed
bridge will be constructed to accommodate pedestrians, bicycles, and future use by transit
vehicles.
A combination of funding from the Cumberland Community Improvement District (CCID),
FTA grants, the Atlanta Braves, and the Cumberland Special Service District I will be used to
construct this project.
The Cobb-Marietta Coliseum and Exhibit Hall Authority owns and operates the Cobb Galleria
Centre venue, along with the venue's parking deck facility, which is adjacent to the I-285 MultiUse Bridge project. This MOA outlines the easements required for the construction of the
project and future efforts to reconstruct the venue parking deck to accommodate anticipated use
by transit vehicles.
The MOA with the Cobb-Marietta Coliseum and Exhibit Hall Authority has been reviewed by
the County Attorney's Office.

PURPOSE
To approve a Memorandum of Agreement with the Georgia Department of Transportation for
preliminary engineering oversight on South Barrett Parkway Reliever, Phase 3, State P.I. No.
0013239, Town Center Community Improvement District Project No. TCID-26, Cobb County
Project No. X2407.

BACKGROUND
On August 23, 2011, the Town Center Community Improvement District (TCCID) Board
approved an agreement with Arcadis U.S., Inc., for a traffic and concept analysis study for
South Barrett Parkway Reliever, Phase 2.
Phase 2 and Phase 3 of this project consist of the development of a new roadway facility parallel
to and south of Barrett Parkway. This new roadway facility will run from Barrett Lakes
Boulevard eastward across I-75, and then northward along Roberts Court, providing another
critical crossing over I-75. The roadway is proposed to be a four-lane divided facility including
bus lanes, pedestrian accommodations and two roundabouts.
On August 14, 2012, the Board of Commissioners approved a Cobb Framework Agreement
(CFA) with the TCCID, which detailed the responsibilities of the TCCID and Cobb County for
traffic analysis, environmental screening, and concept development activities. The CFA was
approved by the TCCID Board at their meeting on July 24, 2012. Per terms of the CFA, the
TCCID will be responsible for funding 100 percent of the engineering costs. The Department's
role will be to provide oversight of engineering and construction activities.
On September 24, 2013, the TCCID Board approved funding to move forward with additional
design and preliminary engineering services for South Barrett Parkway Reliever, Phases 2 and
3. A portion of Phase 2 work was separated out as Phase 3 to facilitate potential grant funding
opportunities.

Agenda Item Number. 9

On November 26, 2013, the Board approved Supplemental Agreement No. 1 to the CFA with
TCCID for additional design and preliminary engineering services for South Barrett Parkway
Reliever, Phases 2 and 3.
Preliminary engineering for Phase 3 is currently being funded by TCCID. However, in order to
qualify for possible federal/state funding, the project has been added to the Statewide
Transportation Improvement Plan and is now subject to review by the Georgia Department of
Transportation (GDOT).
The Department is in receipt of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) from GDOT for
preliminary engineering oversight on South Barrett Parkway Reliever, Phase 3. GDOT has
estimated that the oversight fee for this project will be $72,000.00. This fee will be due upon
execution of the MOA. Funding for the engineering oversight fee is available in the 2016
SPLOST Transportation Improvements Program Fund approved budget with the appropriation
of additional revenue from the TCCID.
The MOA with GDOT has been reviewed by the County Attorney's Office.

FUNDING
Appropriate receipt of additional revenue to the 2016 SPLOST Transportation Improvements
Program Fund from the Town Center Community Improvement District, as follows:
Increase Revenue:

347-050-X240-X240-4505-X2407-E (CID Revenue) $72,000.00

Increase Expenditure: 347-050-X240-X240-8722-X2407-E (Engineering)

$72,000.00

RECOMMENDATION
The Board of Commissioners approve a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Georgia
Department of Transportation (GDOT) for preliminary engineering oversight on South Barrett
Parkway Reliever, Phase 3, State P.I. No. 0013239, Town Center Community Improvement
District Project No. TCID-26, Cobb County Project No. X2407; authorize payment of an
engineering oversight fee, in an amount not to exceed $72,000.00; authorize the corresponding
budget transactions; and further authorize the Chairman to execute the necessary documents, in
a form substantially similar to that submitted under separate cover and as approved by the
County Attorney's Office.

engineering and relocation of facilities on Sandy Plains Road, Project No. E6060, MIS Contract No.
000959.

BACKGROUND
Sandy Plains Road is an approved roadway safety and operational improvements project in the 2011
SPLOST Transportation Improvements Program.
The project consists of installing a raised concrete median from Kinjac Drive to Ebenezer Road, with
appropriate median cuts and access points. Other improvements include new crosswalks and
pedestrian signalization, new traffic signalization, resurfacing of Sandy Plains Road and widened
sections, associated pavement markings, and signage.
Construction of this project will require Georgia Power Company to remove and relocate their
existing facilities. Since the facilities may be located on Georgia Power Company’s easement, the
cost for the relocation, in an amount not to exceed $588,610.00, may be reimbursable by Cobb
County.
The Utility Relocation Agreement with Georgia Power Company has been reviewed by the County
Attorney’s Office.

BACKGROUND
The 2016 Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs (PRCA) SPLOST program includes the
development of Mabry Park, 4470 Wesley Chapel Road, Marietta. The 26.5 acre Mabry
property was purchased in 2008 using funds authorized under the 2006 Parks Bond Program. A
Master Plan was prepared and approved by the Board of Commissioners on May 24, 2011. The
Master Plan incorporates trails, picnic areas, and other features of a passive park.
In order to generate appropriate construction documents, the Department requires the services of
an appropriately experienced professional architecture and engineering firm. A Request for
Professional Design Services was published on the County Purchasing website, and advertised
in the Marietta Daily Journal on February 26, and March 4, 11, and 18, 2016, in accordance
with Selection Process 1 (Competitive Negotiations). Proposals were received from seven firms
and opened on March 24, 2016.

Assessment of the Police Department.

BACKGROUND

The Board of Commissioners directed the Director of Public Safety to inventory and evaluate the

on January 26, 2016. A plan was developed to conduct a broad and comprehensive assessment of
the policies, procedures and practices as they relate to recruitment, diversity training, community
engagement and the citizen complain process. It was determined that an outside agency should
be utilized for an objective and impartial assessment of the scope and goals.
On February 9, 2016, the Board of Commissioners authorized the advertisement and solicitation
of sealed bids from interested parties for a Public Safety Study. A Request for Proposal (RFP),
Sealed Bid No. 16-6131, for a Police Policy Assessment was advertised in the Marietta Daily

PURPOSE
To direct Legal to proceed in the Cobb County Superior Court with the litigation of Tritt and
Isakson Living Communities, LLC v. Cobb County, Georgia, et al.

BACKGROUND
Wylene S. Tritt and Isakson Living Communities, LLC (“Plaintiffs) filed suit against Cobb
County, Georgia on April 16, 2015 to appeal the BOC decision to deny the rezoning of a 53 acre
tract from R-20 to CCRC. The property fronts Roswell Road in the vicinity of the new WellStar
facility, with a park on one side and residential subdivisions on the other side and to the rear.
The parties attended mediation on two separate occasions, November 16, 2015 and January 18,
2016. At the second mediation, the mediator ended the mediation because it appeared that the
parties would not reach a resolution. The parties had previously agreed to stay discovery
pending the outcome of mediation. However, in February, 2016, counsel for the Plaintiffs
notified Legal that a written plan of the final offer verbalized at mediation would be delivered
by March 11, 2016 so that the property could be posted, advertised and presented for a vote by
the full BOC. To date no plan has been received and the matter has been languishing.

RECOMMENDATION
The Board of Commissioners direct Legal to proceed in the Cobb County Superior Court with
the litigation of Tritt and Isakson Living Communities, LLC v. Cobb County, Georgia, et al.

PURPOSE
To authorize the move of Project Accounting for the I-285 Multi-Use Bridge from the 2016

BACKGROUND
At the April 12, 2016 BOC meeting the Board approved the contract with Northwest Express
Roadbuilders, a Joint Venture, for construction of the I-285 Multi-Use Bridge in the amount of
$10,085,408.80. This agenda item had project funding identified from the following sources:

$ 380,000.00
$ 159,420.80

With this item these revenues were appropriated and accounted for in the 2016 SPLOST Fund
for accounting purposes. After further analysis it is the recommendation from both the County
Attorney's Office and the Finance Department that this project be accounted for apart from the
SPLOST Fund as revenues identified are non SPLOST related. This agenda item is requesting to
move the previously approved appropriations from the 2016 SPLOST Fund to the Public
