He stated, in initial talks with NCDOT <br />(North Carolina Department of Transportation) and the City of Concord <br />Traffic, it was their judgment that an optimal safety and traffic situation <br />could be achieved by aligning the Concord Senior Center driveway with the <br />proposed project driveway. A portion of the property in front of the senior <br />center is not owned by the County but has been used informally for parking. <br />Part of the project's proposal is to donate the currently un -owned property <br />used for parking to the County in combination with moving the driveway to <br />align with the proposed development. He advised the timing of the proposal <br />is due to the zoning process for the City of Concord and the required traffic <br />impact study. If agreeable to the Board, and if the development project is <br />also approved by the City of Concord, the developer will donate the land to <br />the County and the driveway will be relocated at no expense to the County. <br />David Bloom, Senior Project Manager, Joe Griffith, Inc. Commercial Real <br />Estate Services, presented a brief overview of discussions held regarding the <br />land proposed for donation to the County. <br />A discussion ensued. Items addressed included: clarification <br />regarding the proposed traffic flow; no additional traffic lights are planned <br />for installation; timeline for the project; etc. <br />Commissioner Shue expressed support for the proposed realigned <br />driveway. <br />County Manager - Public Safety Compensation Study <br />Pam Dubois, Senior Deputy County Manager, reported the Board of <br />Commissioners, by consensus, directed staff to begin a public safety study <br />during the Board's retreat at an estimated cost of $8,000.00. The cost of <br />the proposal with the Mercer Group is $8,450.00, The Mercer Group also <br />identified a more in -depth level to the study, involving reclassification and <br />restructuring within the divisions of public safety: law enforcement, <br />detention, animal control, emergency medical services, and the emergency <br />management at an additional cost of $15,500.00. She requested direction from <br />the Board as to whether to stay with the $8,450.00 study or to pursue the <br />more in -depth process. <br />Lundee Covington, Human Resources Director, advised the study <br />considered during the retreat was the basic first phase, the compensation <br />review. She stated in speaking with the Mercer Group, a renewed study was <br />recommended due to the lapse of time since the last study. Based on the type <br />of groups, she recommended including additional jurisdictions that would <br />match up better to that population. In addition, there are several other <br />related projects that EMS (Emergency Medical Services) and the Sheriff's <br />Office would like to have considered. She suggested it might be advantageous <br />
