PURPOSE
To present the Draft Cobb 2040 Plan Development document in preparation for the first required public hearing to start the ten-year update to the Cobb County Comprehensive Plan, Cobb 2040: Vision for a New Era.
BACKGROUND
Cobb County Community Development has started working on the ten (10) year update to the Countys Comprehensive Plan, per new state guidelines approved by the Department of Community Affairs, effective March 1, 2014. The Agency has developed a draft framework document titled Cobb 2040 Plan Development. The framework provides elected officials, appointed officials, and the public with a roadmap for how the plan will be updated, which includes items such as timelines, data needs, recommended committees, public participation techniques, and required and optional focus areas that may be considered.
After this presentation, staff will release the draft document for a thirty (30) day public review period. During the public review period, staff will publicize the Cobb 2040 Plan Development document through the web, e-mails, and various county newsletters to bring awareness to this resource. Amendments to the draft framework document will be made based upon input received during the thirty (30) day public comment period. On April 28, 2015, Community Development will request that a public hearing be held on the draft document, which will then provide the Board of Commissioners an opportunity to make final determination on the deliverable. Once approved, staff will proceed with the ten (10) year update to the Comprehensive Plan per the approved framework document.

PURPOSE
To present information regarding the implementation of a Behavioral Health Court program.
BACKGROUND
The Cobb County State Court is in the investigative stage of developing a proposal to implement a Behavioral Health Court Program. In additional to being approved by Cobb State Court Judges, the Behavioral Health Court will need formal approval from the Georgia Judicial Council. If established, the Behavioral Health Court intends to enter into a partnership with a psychological services care provider which has experience working with populations similar to those that are serviced by the accountability courts (e.g. habitual offenders, domestic violence perpetrators and victims, substance abuse, veterans, etc.). Paramount to the psychological services is comprehensive and quality care that is tailored to each individuals specific needs, and is intended to reduce recidivism and boost each individuals chances of successfully functioning outside of the court system. The State Court is seeking grants and other outside funding to sustain the program.
RECOMMENDATION
The Board of Commissioners consider information regarding the implementation of a Behavioral Health Court program.

American women have struggled throughout our history to gain rights not simply for themselves but for many other under represented and disenfranchised groups in America.
Womens History Month had its origins in 1981 when Congress passed Pub. L. 97-28 which authorized and requested the President to proclaim the week beginning March 7, 1982 as "Womens History Week". As requested by Congress, President Reagan issued Presidential Proclamation 4903 proclaiming the week beginning on March 7, 1982 as the first "Womens History Week" and recognizing the vital role of women in American history. President Reagan then issued Presidential Proclamation 5619 proclaiming March 1987 as "Womens History Month" and calling upon all Americans to mark the month with observances to honor the achievements of American women. In honor of Women's History Month, the NAACP of Cobb County has held luncheons for 13 years.

TO: David Hankerson, County Manager
FROM: Faye DiMassimo, Director
This item has been electronically signed by:Faye DiMassimo, Director
DATE: March 24, 2015
PURPOSE
To conduct a public hearing for the transit-related Title VI Program and required transit policies for Cobb Community Transit.
BACKGROUND
Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and related statutes and regulations provide that no person in the United States shall, on the grounds of race, color, sex, national origin, disability, or age, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefit of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal aid.
Cobb Community Transit (CCT) is a recipient of Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funding assistance through an annual formula allocation, as well as through various discretionary and competitive funding programs. FTA requires that all direct and primary recipients document their compliance with the U.S. Department of Transportations transit-related Title VI regulations by submitting a Title VI Program once every three years, or as otherwise directed by FTA.
As a condition of receiving federal aid, FTA requires local governments serving 200,000 or more persons to approve and implement a transit-related Title VI Program. Failure of a transit operator to comply may result in suspension or termination of federal aid, or refusal to grant or to continue federal aid.
On December 6, 2011, the Board of Commissioners approved a Title VI Program that met the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) requirements for Cobb County to receive FHWA funds. FTA has different Title VI Program requirements than FHWA; therefore, the County is required to adopt a separate transit-related Title VI Program in order to receive FTA funds.
Comm. Dist.
All
Agenda Item Number. 3

On October 1, 2012, the FTA issued a new Federal Circular which contained revised guidance and instructions necessary to carry out Title VI regulations. In order to comply, the Board must adopt a resolution approving the transit-related Title VI Program, pursuant to its budgetary authority and responsibility, prior to submission to the FTA.
On November 13, 2012, the Board adopted a resolution to approve the Title VI Program for CCT. The current Title VI Program on file with FTA is scheduled to expire on March 31, 2015; a new three-year draft update was submitted to FTA for preliminary review by the February 1, 2015 deadline.
Recent changes made by the FTA require that the following policies be adopted by the Board of Commissioners and incorporated into the Countys transit-related Title VI Program: Public Participation Policy-Major Service or Fare Changes; Disproportionate Burden Policy; Transit Amenities Policy; Vehicle Assignment Policy; Disparate Impact Policy; and Systemwide Service Standard Policy.
The FTA requirement to establish system-wide service standards and related policies is meant to ensure that service design and operational practices do not result in discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, disability, or age. The Department is seeking public comment on the proposed Title VI Program and required policies prior to adoption by the Board and subsequent submission to the FTA.
On January 27, 2015, the Board authorized advertisement for and conduct of a public hearing for the transit-related 2015 Title VI Program and required transit policies. Notice of Public Hearing was advertised in the Marietta Daily Journal on March 6, 13 and 20, 2015. The Department also sought public input on the proposed Title VI Program and required policies by posting the program on the CCT website on January 23, 2015 and presenting it to the Transit Advisory Board (TAB) on January 26, 2015.
The Department will present an agenda item to the Board concurrent with this Public Hearing item requesting adoption of a resolution to approve the transit-related Title VI Program and required transit policies, providing no comments are received at this public hearing to be incorporated into the transit-related Title VI Program and/or required transit policies. Once approved, the transit-related Title VI Program and required transit policies will be submitted to the FTA.

PURPOSE
To approve a contract with Brooks, Berry, Haynie & Associates, Inc., for Cumberland Boulevard Traffic Signal Upgrades, Project No. TR477, MIS Contract No. 000838, and approve Change Order No. 1 to the contract.
BACKGROUND
Cumberland Boulevard Traffic Signal Upgrades is a traffic signal project located within the Cumberland Community Improvement District (CCID).
On May 27, 2014, the Board of Commissioners approved a Cobb Framework Agreement (CFA) with the CCID for this project. Under the terms of the CFA, the CCID will fund 100 percent of the project costs. The Department will provide engineering and design oversight, bidding administration and construction oversight of the project.
This project consists of replacing seven existing traffic signals with decorative mast arm systems, installing seven Uninterruptable Power Supplies (UPS), and installing seven IP Dome Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras at signalized intersections on Cumberland Boulevard and Akers Mill Road.
The Invitation to Bid was advertised in the Marietta Daily Journal on November 21 and 28, 2014, and on December 5 and 12, 2014. Bids were received on December 18, 2015, from the following companies:

The low bid of $1,268,507.26 from Brooks, Berry, Haynie & Associates, Inc., was reviewed and found to be reasonable and responsive. The completion date for this project is 270 consecutive calendar days from issuance of the Notice to Proceed.
Details for action requested are as follows:
In addition to the approval of this contract, Change Order No. 1 to the contract with Brooks, Berry, Haynie & Associates, Inc., in the deductive amount of $375,545.11, is requested to remove two signal locations and associated costs from the project. Project bid amounts exceeded the original CCID project budget of $1,000,000.00; therefore, it is necessary to reduce the scope of this contract. The two signals removed from this contract are Cumberland Boulevard at Post Woods Drive (a reduction of $209,632.56) and Cumberland Boulevard at Akers Mill Road (East) (a reduction of $165,912.55). Change Order No. 1 is requested for an overall reduction of the contract from the original amount of $1,268,507.26 to a revised amount of $892,962.15.
Original Contract $1,268,507.26 Change Order No. 1 ($ 375,545.11) Revised Contract $ 892,962.15
FUNDING
Funding is available with appropriation of revenue from the Cumberland Community Improvement District (CCID) to the Department's Capital Projects Fund, as follows:

BACKGROUND
On January 21, 2015, the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) released a call for applications for federal funding of projects under the Surface Transportation Program Urban (STP-Urban) and Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) for FY 2016 through FY 2019. Applications are due by April 6, 2015. Applicants are required to provide resolutions from the local government body in support of the applications, stating commitment to provide matching funds of at least 20 percent of the total cost for each awarded project.
The focus areas for the solicitation relevant to the County are new infrastructure projects or initiatives that support PLAN 2040 and transportation planning or project feasibility studies.
The Department recommends submitting applications for consideration to fund four new infrastructure projects and one transportation study. New infrastructure projects include: construction of South Barrett Parkway Reliever, Phase 3, ARC Project No. CO-450B; preliminary engineering of Windy Hill Boulevard (2016 SPLOST project); preliminary engineering and construction of Transit Supportive Sidewalks for segments of US 41/SR 3/Cobb Parkway and SR 139/Mableton Parkway; and procurement of new Cobb Community Transit (CCT) buses. The transportation study is for the Cobb County Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement Plan Update.

PURPOSE
To authorize procurement of 28 personal computers for Cobb Community Transit to replace outdated hardware and software.
BACKGROUND
Cobb Community Transit (CCT) currently provides computers and other office related equipment required for staff to access county printers, applications and assets. Up to date computer hardware and software are essential tools used by CCT staff and our contracted service provider staff, Transdev Inc., for daily transit operations, management and customer service. This procurement will replace outdated equipment, originally purchased in 2011 and no longer under warranty, and will also provide additional equipment to cover new personnel needs in the service delivery, tracking, safety and security of CCT operations.
On June 12, 2012, the Board of Commissioners adopted a resolution authorizing the submission of an amended Fiscal Year 2012 Section 5307 Grant application (Grant No. GA-90-X312) to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) for transit capital, planning and operating projects. The project list included funding for computer hardware and software needs.
The Georgia Department of Administrative Services currently has in place an Open Agency Contract from Dell Marketing, L.P. (Dell). The Department has coordinated personal computer needs with the Information Services Department, and has obtained a quote from Dell of $976.29 per computer.

DATE: March 24, 2015
PURPOSE
To adopt a resolution to approve the transit-related Title VI Program and required transit policies for Cobb Community Transit.
BACKGROUND
Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and related statutes and regulations provide that no person in the United States shall, on the grounds of race, color, sex, national origin, disability, or age, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefit of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal aid.
Cobb Community Transit (CCT) is a recipient of Federal Transit Administration (FTA) federal aid through an annual formula allocation, as well as through various discretionary and competitive funding programs. FTA requires that all direct and primary recipients document their compliance with the U.S. Department of Transportations transit-related Title VI regulations by submitting a Title VI Program once every three years, or as otherwise directed by FTA.
As a condition of receiving federal aid, FTA requires local governments serving 200,000 or more persons to approve and implement a transit-related Title VI Program. Failure of a transit operator to comply may result in suspension or termination of federal aid, or refusal to grant or to continue federal aid.
On December 6, 2011, the Board of Commissioners approved a Title VI Program that met the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) requirements for Cobb County to receive FHWA funds. FTA has different Title VI Program requirements than FHWA; therefore, the County is required to adopt a separate transit-related Title VI Program in order to receive FTA funds.
Comm. Dist.
All
Agenda Item Number. 8
Page 58 of 145
-
On October 1, 2012, FTA issued a new Federal Circular which contained revised guidance and instructions necessary to carry out Title VI regulations. In order to comply, the Board must adopt a resolution approving the transit-related Title VI Program, pursuant to its budgetary authority and responsibility, prior to submission to FTA.
On November 13, 2012, the Board adopted a resolution to approve the Title VI Program for CCT. The current Title VI Program on file with FTA is scheduled to expire on March 31, 2015; a new three-year draft update was submitted to FTA for preliminary review by the February 1, 2015 deadline.
Recent changes made by the FTA require specific policies be adopted by the Board and incorporated into the County's transit-related Title VI Program. As part of this Title VI Program update, the Department requests the Board also approve the following required transit policies: Public Participation Policy-Major Service or Fare Changes; Disproportionate Burden Policy; Transit Amenities Policy; Vehicle Assignment Policy; Disparate Impact Policy; and Systemwide Service Standard Policy.
Notice of Public Hearing was advertised in the Marietta Daily Journal on March 6, 13 and 20, 2015. The public hearing was held on March 24, 2015, concurrent with this agenda item. The Department also sought public input on the proposed Title VI Program and required policies by posting the program on the CCT website on January 23, 2015, and presenting it to the Transit Advisory Board on January 26, 2015.
The transit-related Title VI Program and required transit policies have been reviewed by the County Attorneys Office.
