CABARRUS COUNTY <br /> 1792 <br /> - BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> C REGULAR MEETING <br /> DECEMBER 19, 2016 <br /> 6:30 P.M. <br /> AGENDA CATEGORY: <br /> Consent Agenda <br /> SUBJECT: <br /> County Manager - Centralina Council of Governments Projects and <br /> Commissions <br /> BRIEF SUMMARY: <br /> The Centralina Council of Governments has requested participation from <br /> Cabarrus County in three areas. The first area is with their Centralina <br /> Economic Development Commission (CEDC). There is a CEDC Question <br /> and Answer attached to provide background on the commission. Cabarrus <br /> County has participated in past years on this commission but dropped that <br /> membership when COG membership was not continued. The dues <br /> calculation for the region is also attached and those annual dues would be <br /> $6000 ($3000 for the remainder of this fiscal year) for the County. A <br /> representative to the CEDC would also need to be appointed and it is <br /> recommended that a staff member of Cabarrus Economic Development <br /> Corporation (EDC) be considered for that. <br /> Centralina has also requested additional participation in the Freight <br /> Mobility Study. The County is participating through a matching share as <br /> part of the Metropolitan Planning Organization. The County's part of that <br /> match is $780. Centralina has requested $5000 in funding from the <br /> County. If the Board wishes to do that, it is suggested that the previous <br /> $780 be subtracted. <br /> The final project for which they are requesting participation is the update <br /> to the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS). They <br /> have invited the Deputy County Manager and a representative from <br /> Cabarrus EDC to serve on the Advisory Committee. There is no cost for <br /> this participation. <br /> F-4 Page 42 <br />
