Commerce - Letter of Support for Traffic Management Center (TMC) Jonathan Marshall, Commerce Director, presented information related to a request from Joe Wilson, Director of Transportation for the City of Concord, regarding the implementation of a Traffic Management Center (TMC). He reported the City of Concord is applying for federal funds to construct a TMC and accompanying equipment; the center will include multiple signal support, as well as traffic cameras throughout Concord; because the City is applying for federal funds, it is recommended they have a letter of support from the other jurisdictions; Concord has received support for the TMC from the Cabarrus Rowan Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO); the additional funds will have no impact on the State's equity formula, which was an issue previously; etc. Commissioner Carruth asked if Concord's TMC can be integrated with systems in other jurisdictions, for example, if Kannapolis or Harrisburg chooses to participate at a later date. Mr. Marshall responded that he would confer with Joe Wilson to obtain a response to that question.

Commerce - Property Line Adjustment with Piedmont Preservation Foundation Jonathan Marshall, Commerce Director, presented the following information related to a property line adjustment with the Piedmont Preservation Foundation: the Board previously approved a transfer of approximately .7 acres to Piedmont Preservation Foundation to preserve two older homes located on the Law Enforcement Center property; when staff updated the large property survey, it was discovered that the parcel, as transferred, was based on a proposed right-of-way that has not been dedicated, which effectively means the property has no frontage along Corban Avenue; the County has the option of shifting the parcel forward to gain property along the front portion, with the parcel remaining the same size; there is no gain for the County to shift the parcel forward; staff recommends deeding a small strip of land containing approximately .09 acre to the Piedmont Preservation Foundation; etc. Richard Koch, County Attorney, reported there is an easement belonging to St. James Lutheran Church Cemetery on which one of the houses sits; meetings have been held in an effort to resolve these issues; St. James Lutheran Church has retained an attorney to obtain an agreement between the Church and Piedmont Preservation Foundation regarding the easement; etc, Vice Chairman Mynatt asked Mr. Koch if it would be helpful to postpone a decision on this matter. Mr. Koch responded that other issues may arise with the property, and the County may wish to resolve all issues before it transfers the property to the Piedmont Preservation Foundation. He further stated he would be able to present more information regarding the progress of these issues at the Board's next work session. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Carruth, seconded by Vice Chairman Mynatt, and unanimously carried, the Board voted to table this item until it's April 6, 2009 Agenda Work Session.
