County Manager - Approval to Close Carolina Governmental Alliance for Administration of County Workers Compensation and Liability Funds Pam Dubois, Senior Deputy County Manager, presented a review of the timeline outlining the history of the County's self - insured insurance program, encompassed under the non - profit, Carolina Governmental Alliance, along with reasons for the request to dissolve it. She advised the organization was established in June 1997 in partnership with Rowan County. on June 30, 2013, Rowan County dissolved its interest in the organization. She stated there is no financial benefit to the County to continue utilization of this organization for self - insured insurance purposes. She also responded to questions from the Board. County Manager - KCS Capital Funds Reallocation Request Pam Dubois, Senior Deputy County Manager, presented a reallocation request for Kannapolis City Schools (KCS) Capital Funds. She advised the welding program project has come in over the estimated budget by $55,000.00 and KCS would like to take the cost savings from the lighting conversion project ($25,000.00) and eliminate both key fob projects for Forest Park and Fred L. Wilson (30,000.00) to cover the shortfall. County Manager - Property and Building on Concord Lake Road Jonathan Marshall, Deputy County Manager, presented the following information relating to a county -owned property and building on Concord Lake Road: Cabarrus County owns property and an office building at 2325 Concord Lake Road (PICT 5622 -33- 3518). The building has housed the Economic Development Corporation, Parks and Recreation and Guardian Ad Litem in the past but is currently vacant. There are two issues for discussion related to that building and property. The first is that the building encroaches on an adjacent property which is shown on the attached survey. The adjacent owner is proposing the County exchange property to correct the building encroachment with the net result that the County would need to purchase 3967 square feet. They have requested tax value for this property as well as recognition that water lines serving their building cross part of the County parcel. The second issue is the disposition of the building and land. Staff is requesting guidance from the Board on whether to attempt to sell the property and by what method. A discussion ensued. It was the consensus of the Board to bring this item back in September with a proposal from the adjacent owner. This would also provide time for staff to solicit a broker for the property. County Manager - Request to Lease County Propert Amy Daniels, owner of 23 Union Street North in Concord, presented a request to lease a portion of the property located next door on the Concord Library parcel. She proposed to use the leased area for outside seating with awnings, umbrellas and pavers for an area connected to her restaurant on the adjacent parcel. She advised, if approved, the leased area would be fenced per ABC regulations. Jonathan Marshall, Deputy County Manager, advised water and gas utility lines that serve the library are located in this area, so a property lease is preferable to sale of the property. He stated trees previously planted on that space have been removed. Another issue to consider, he said, is the sale of alcohol on county -owned property.
