<br />AMENDED" was passed on first reading by the following vote:
<br /> Ayes: Chairman Simmons and Commissioners Barnhart, Carpenter, Hamby, and
<br />Payne
<br /> Noes: None
<br /> On motion duly made, seconded and unanimously carried at the meeting of
<br />the Board of Commissioners on September 16, 1991, the Board fixed 7:00 P.M.,
<br />October 7, 1991, in the Commissioners' Meeting Room at the Governmental Center
<br />in Concord, North Carolina as the hour, day and place for the public hearing
<br />upon the foregoing resolution and directed the Chairman of the Board to publish
<br />said resolution once in The Concord Tribune not later than the tenth day before
<br />said date.
<br />
<br /> Sheriff Robert Canaday reported that only one bid had been received for
<br />the telecommunications equipment replacement and upgrade. Therefore, he
<br />recommended the award of the bid to Motorola Communications and Electronics,
<br />Inc., for the total contract price of $350,505.46, including $347,088.16 for the
<br />replacement and upgrade of the equipment and $3,417.30 for the option that will
<br />allow the Department to use the supervisor's console at the Emergency Operations
<br />Center when needed. Stating that the cost of the equipment had exceeded budgeted
<br />funds, Sheriff Canaday noted that he had agreed to forego the purchase of two
<br />vehicles this year at an estimated cost of $26,000.00 to provide additional funds
<br />for the equipment.
<br /> UPON MOTION of Chairman Simmons, seconded by Commissioner Barnhart and
<br />unanimously carried, the Board awarded the bid for the telecommunications
<br />equipment for the Sheriff's Department to the sole bidder, Motorola
<br />Communications and Electronics, Inc., in the total contract price of $350,505.46,
<br />including $347,088.16 for the replacement and upgrade of the existing equipment
<br />and $3,417.30 for the option to allow the use, when needed, of the supervisor's
<br />console at the Emergency Operations Center. The Board further instructed the
<br />Finance Director to secure appropriate lease purchase arrangements for this
<br />equipment and to bring appropriate budget amendments back to the Board for
<br />approval.
<br /> UPON MOTION of Chairman Simmons, seconded by Commissioner Carpenter and
<br />unanimously carried, the Board deferred consideration of the proposal for
<br />township representation on the Cabarrus County Parks and Recreation Advisory
<br />Commission until the next meeting.
<br /> UPON MOTION of Commissioner Barnhart, seconded by Commissioner Carpenter
<br />and unanimously carried, the Board authorized Chairman Simmons to execute the
<br />agreement between Cabarrus County and the North Carolina Department of
<br />Environment, Health and Natural Resources, which administers the Land and Water
<br />Conservation Fund in North Carolina, for the Greenway Park Project (Project No.
<br />37-00940) in Kannapolis. This project in the amount of $100,000.00, which
<br />included a $50,000.00 local match, provided for the acquisition of 9.789 acres
<br />of land by donation with the construction of a trail and bridge, fencing,
<br />benches, trash receptacles, and signs.
<br /> At the request of Chairman Simmons, Mr. Steve Little, Parks and Recreation
<br />Director, briefly reviewed the process for applying for the federal matching
<br />funds for recreational purposes for such areas as the Midland community.
<br /> Mr. Steve Little, Parks and Recreation Director, presented the proposal
<br />to construct two additional parking lots at the Cabarrus County Senior Center.
<br />The cost of the additional parking lots is to be funded through Community
<br />Development Block Grant (CDBG) monies from the City of Concord and contributions
<br />by senior citizens. Mr. Little also reviewed the low bids for the two parking
<br />lots which had been bid informally by his department.
<br /> UPON MOTION of Chairman Simmons, seconded by Commissioner Payne and
<br />unanimously carried, the Board authorized the Chairman to execute the agreement
<br />entitled "Agreement Between the City of Concord and Cabarrus County Department
<br />of Aging Regarding Community Development Block Grant Entitlement Funds to be
<br />Used to Provide Public Services" for funds in the amount of $15,000.00 for the
<br />design and construction of additional parking spaces at the Cabarrus County
<br />Senior Center. The Board further adopted the budget amendment as shown below.
<br />
<br /> AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CONCORD AND
<br />CABARRUS COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF AGING REGARDING
<br />COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT ENTITLEMENT FUNDS
<br /> TO BE USED TO PROVIDE PUBLIC SERVICES
