PURPOSE
To present information from the Atlanta Regional Commission concerning senior housing and
the changing market for senior developments.
BACKGROUND
On June 24, 2008 the Board of Commissioners adopted Cobb County Code Section 134-202.1,
CCRC (Continuing Care Retirement Community). The district was developed by a committee
composed of industry experts, community association members and county staff who met for
several months to prepare the draft for consideration.
On November 12, 2013, a moratorium was placed on accepting applications on the CCRC
District until April 1, 2014. The purpose of this moratorium was to provide time for a committee
to be formed and evaluate a number of the code requirements. At the conclusion of the
committees discussions, no agreements were proffered for consideration by the Board of
Commissioners and the moratorium expired.
On March 17, 2015, the Board of Commissioners heard Z-2 (2014), a CCRC zoning request. At
the conclusion of the public hearing, the zoning case was denied and staff was directed to bring
forward a moratorium on new applications for the CCRC zoning category. The purpose of this
moratorium is to provide staff and the Board of Commissioners time to prepare potential
amendments to the CCRC district. Actions will include a review of national best practices for
CCRC type developments, a review of the CCRC committee report, and a review of applicable
regulations from peer communities. This information will be analyzed and reviewed with the
Board of Commissioners to create potential amendments to the CCRC zoning district.

On March 24, 2015, a moratorium was placed on accepting applications on the CCRC District
until April 1, 2015. The purpose of this moratorium was to provide time for staff to review how
other jurisdictions regulated CCRC or similarly related development types and make
recommendations on how the county code could be updated.
On February 23, the Board of Commissioners conducted the final public hearing on the January
2016 Code Amendment Package. After the conclusion of the hearing, the Board held the
proposed changes, asked for staff to conduct additional research to determine if additional
changes need to be made, and asked staff to bring forward an agenda item that would continue
the existing moratorium while the additional research is being conducted.
On March 8, 2016, the Board of Commissioners directed staff to extend the existing suspension
on the acceptance of applications for rezoning to the CCRC (Continuing Care Retirement
Community) District until September 1, 2016. Staff was then requested to work with the Atlanta
Regional Commission in order to assemble data on the current state of senior housing. The
Atlanta Regional Commission has contracted with Mr. Mike Harris, a market analyst with
Cornerstone Senior Living, to review current market conditions in Cobb County and to provide
information on the changes occurring in senior focused developments across the country.
FUNDING
N/A
RECOMMENDATION
The Board of Commissioners consider information presented from the Atlanta Regional
Commission concerning senior housing and the changing market for senior developments.

PURPOSE
To authorize decommitment of funding for a Stormwater Management project at 4826 Shallow
Creek Drive, Program No. SW0818.
BACKGROUND
On July 10, 2007, the Cobb County Board of Commissioners approved the award of a work
order under the then-current Unit Price Contract with W. E. Contracting Co., Inc., in the amount
of $31,690.00, to remove outlet control works from a breached detention pond dam in Falcon
Hills Subdivision, Unit I, and stabilize eroded streambanks in the area with riprap stone.
After repeated efforts, Stormwater Management staff has been unable to obtain access
permission from the affected property owners. Since the initial washout of the pond and original
BOC approval, the streambanks appear to have revegetated and stabilized, and no additional
complaints have been received.
If complaints begin again in this area, subject to receiving written permissions from the affected
property owners, Stormwater Management can reconsider the project under a current Unit Price
Agreement with revised scope.

PURPOSE
To accept a Quit Claim Deed conveying a detention pond lot in the West Chase Subdivision to
Cobb County.
BACKGROUND
The latest revision of the Final Plat for West Chase Subdivision, located in Land Lot 191 of the
20th District of Cobb County, was recorded on December 1, 1994. The detention pond lot was
sold to an individual at a tax auction, and has fallen into disrepair. Surrounding residences have
complained about potential hazardous trees growing in and around the pond. The Water System
contacted the property owner, explaining that this lot must remain a detention pond lot and
cannot be further developed, and suggested that the property be donated to Cobb County. The
Water System is willing to accept ownership of the pond and assume responsibility for its
functional maintenance, with the provision that aesthetic maintenance becomes, explicitly, the
responsibility of the West Chase Homeowners Association. This is consistent with Cobb County
policy.
Once the current situation was properly understood, the property owner furnished a Quit Claim
Deed to transfer ownership to Cobb County. The Water System recommends acceptance of
this property as a fee simple donation subject to the provision that the West Chase HOA
accept responsibility for aesthetic maintenance of the pond and all wooden fences.
FUNDING
Not applicable for the acceptance of this fee simple donation.

PURPOSE
To approve Supplemental Agreement No. 2 to Work Order No. E4 with Michael Baker International, Inc., for
completion of an Alternative Analysis Study as part of the Master Plan Update for Cobb County International
Airport McCollum Field, CCDOT Contract No. 000884.
BACKGROUND
On May 26, 2015, the Board of Commissioners approved Work Order No. E4 with The LPA Group, Inc., in an
amount not to exceed $167,057.00, for the Master Plan Update for Cobb County International Airport
McCollum Field (Airport).
On September 22, 2015, the Board authorized the acceptance of the assignment of the capital improvement
projects services agreement with The LPA Group, Inc., to Michael Baker International, Inc.
To appropriately plan for the future development of the Airport in accordance with the Boards vision
of accommodating both community and business aircraft, it is necessary to update the current Master Plan,
which was initiated in 2006. The update will include forecasting the future anticipated types and number of
housed aircraft and runway operations at the Airport. An evaluation of this forecast will identify the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) standards that will be applied to future development.
As the Master Plan Update project progressed, it was determined that completion of a noise study would
provide useful information for the Board in determining potential noise impacts of any future improvements.
The State of Georgia Division of Aviation (State) confirmed that the noise study would be eligible for
reimbursement in a future federal grant.
On April 26, 2016, the Board approved Supplemental Agreement No. 1 to Work Order No. E4 with Michael
Baker International, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $15,390.00, for completion of the Noise Study as part of
the Master Plan Update for the Airport.
Page 44 of 215
During review of the draft Capital Improvement Plan segment of the Master Plan Update process, the State
concluded that investing in an alternative analysis study to determine the optimum separation distance of the
taxiway from the runway, relative to the airports unique topography, would be a valuable exercise. This
analysis could result in significant construction savings if the FAA were to approve an alternate separation
criteria for the airport.
The Department requests approval of Supplemental Agreement No. 2 to Work Order No. E4 with Michael
Baker International, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $29,522.00, for completion of an Alternative Analysis
Study. The cost of this study will be 90 percent reimbursable from an anticipated future FAA grant. The
required 10 percent local match of $2,952.20 is available in the Airport Divisions FY16 Operating Budget
Fund Balance Reserves account. In the unlikely event that anticipated future FAA grant funds are not made
available to the County, required funding will be transferred from the Airport Division's Fund Balance Reserves
account, in an amount not to exceed $26,569.80.
FUNDING

PURPOSE
To approve the Third Quarter Update to the Department of Transportations Prequalified List of
Engineering and Associated Specialty Firms available to be utilized for the procurement of
professional services for the 2016-2017 prequalification period.
BACKGROUND
On July 22, 1997, the Board of Commissioners approved the Policy for Procurement of
Professional Services.
On December 13, 2005, July 28, 2009, November 22, 2011, December 20, 2011, and November
25, 2014, the Board authorized amendments to update and clarify provisions of the policy. The
Policy for Procurement of Professional Services requires a review of the firms on the
prequalified list every two years to ensure each firm continues to meet the necessary standards
for inclusion on the list.
Beginning January 1, 2013, the Department transitioned to acceptance of the Georgia
Department of Transportation (GDOT) prequalified list in lieu of the separate Cobb County
qualification process, along with certification that GDOT prequalified firms have an established
office in the metro-Atlanta area. Any firms not GDOT qualified are required to follow the Cobb
County process for qualification.
On May 23, 2016, the Board approved the Departments Prequalified List of Engineering and
Associated Specialty Firms for the 2016-2017 prequalification period, which will expire on May
22, 2018.
Page 46 of 215
All
On June 28, 2016, the Board approved the Second Quarter Update to the Departments
Prequalified List of Engineering and Associated Specialty Firms available to be utilized for the
procurement of professional services for the 2016-2017 prequalification period.
Additions to the 2016-2017 Prequalified List of Engineering and Associated Specialty Firms

PURPOSE
To authorize the creation of one full-time Construction Inspector position, Grade 49, to support
the Right-of-Way Utility Permitting Unit, and authorize the procurement of required support
equipment, furnishings, and supplies.
BACKGROUND
On March 13, 2001, the Board of Commissioners approved the creation of the Right-of-Way
Utility Permitting Unit within the Department of Transportation, and established a right-of-way
permit fee schedule. Fees charged are utilized to offset the costs associated with the permitting,
inspection and management of utilities within County rights-of-way.
Right-of-Way Utility Permitting Unit activities are currently performed by one Utility Permitting
Manager, one Contract/Project Manager, three part-time Construction Inspectors, and one parttime GIS Technician. Due to the recent increase in wireless broadband services, the number of
miles of telecommunication fiber has increased dramatically, requiring more time for each
inspection. Therefore, the Department requests the addition of one new full-time Construction
Inspector position to ensure appropriate personnel resources are available for the required
monitoring necessary to efficiently and effectively protect County rights-of-way.
IMPACT STATEMENT
The Department requests one full-time Construction Inspector position be created in the Right-ofWay Utility Permitting Unit #0730. It is anticipated that annual salary and fringe benefit
requirements for this position will be approximately $79,442.00. The position is requested to
be effective November 7, 2016; therefore, FY17 salary and fringe benefit expenses are estimated
to be $70,276.00.
Page 49 of 215
All
Addition of this position will require procurement of a new field vehicle equipped with Rocket
wireless capability, a new laptop computer with associated software/accessories, new cubicle
space in the Transportation Management Center, and miscellaneous routine operating/supply
expenses. The initial required support equipment and furnishings for the Construction Inspector
position are projected not to exceed $42,263.00. Miscellaneous routine annual operating/supply
expenses for this position are estimated at approximately $970.00 per year.
Funding for FY17 costs associated with the new position and required support equipment,
furnishings, and supplies is available in the Right-of-Way Utility Permitting Unit's Fund Balance
Reserves account, in an amount not to exceed $113,509.00. Future personal services and required
operating expenses will be budgeted through the Department's biennial budget request/approval
process. Permit fees charged will continue to be analyzed annually to ensure revenue collections
are sufficient to offset all personnel and operating costs associated with the permitting, inspection
and management of utilities within County rights-of-way.
FUNDING
Funding will be available in the Department's FY17 Budget, with the following budget transfers:
Transfer from: 010-050-0730-0730-8852 (Fund Balance Reserves)
$113,509.00

PURPOSE
To adopt a resolution designating electronic signature authority to the Department of
Transportation Accountant III for the Transit Award Management System process.
BACKGROUND
Cobb County is the recipient of annual federal transit assistance funding administered by the
Federal Transit Administration (FTA). These funds are used to finance capital, planning and
operating projects for Cobb Community Transit (CCT) and CobbLinc, a service of CCT.
The Transit Award Management System (TrAMS) is utilized to electronically apply for and
manage all aspects of the various FTA grant programs. County staff and elected officials utilize
TrAMS to create and submit FTA grant applications, execute the annual Certifications and
Assurances required by FTA, execute grant awards, submit budget revisions and quarterly
reports, and to access other grantee information. A Personal Identification Number (PIN) is
required to perform many of these functions.
To effectively maintain system security and integrity, the process for receiving and updating
TrAMS user access privileges requires formal authorization from the governing body of each
grant recipient. In order to receive a PIN to conduct ongoing grant management activities, the
Board of Commissioners must adopt an Authorizing Resolution and execute a Designation of
Signature Authority document, as required for submission to the FTA.
Recent personnel changes within the Department have resulted in the need to update existing
TrAMS user access privileges to add new staff and remove those no longer requiring access.
The Department recommends authorization for the Accountant III to receive a PIN to allow
submission of grant applications and performance of various grant management activities via
the TrAMS system, as approved by the Board.

BACKGROUND
On January 27, 2015, the Board of Commissioners adopted a resolution to approve the Dobbins
Air Reserve Base (ARB) Joint Land Use Study (JLUS). The JLUS effort was a partnership
between the County, Dobbins ARB, and the cities of Marietta and Smyrna that focused on a set
of goals intended to foster ongoing coordination between local government and Dobbins
ARB. The final JLUS study document yielded a slate of recommendations for improved
communication and coordination between Dobbins ARB Staff, the County and local partners
regarding matters of mutual concern. Additionally, several tools for implementation of these
recommendations were outlined within the document. Of these, three strategies were identified
by JLUS Policy Committee and JLUS Advisory Committee for initial implementation. They
are:
Development of an Three-Dimensional Surface Imagery Model

Development of a Light Pollution Study
Development of an Education and Outreach Program

PURPOSE
To authorize the design and the use of the South Cobb logo.
BACKGROUND
On October 28, 2014, the Board of Commissioners approved a contract with SLANT Media,
LLC to develop the South Cobb Marketing and Branding Strategy in conformity with RFP# 145921. This project is a partnership with the South Cobb Redevelopment Authority. The
marketing and branding strategy process was designed to involve design professionals and
community stakeholders who have vested interests in the viability of South Cobb and to rebrand
the community in a manner that showcases its strengths and attributes, while also dispelling
many of the false perceptions of the area.
One of the goals of the marketing and branding strategy was to create a sense of place in the
area through the creation of signage, brand identity, marketing materials, and an online
presence. At the February 23, 2016 Board of Commissioners work session, Staff gave a
presentation to update the Board on the progress of the marketing and branding strategy effort.
The presentation reviewed the overall purpose and intent of the project, as well as provided an
update on stakeholder engagement activities, among which was a Web-based survey that
received more than 300 individual responses. Results from the survey directly influenced the
design concept for a South Cobb logo. The design focuses on South Cobbs diversity through
the use of a variety of bright colors and shapes brought together in a manner that exemplifies the
composition of the community, both culturally and artistically.

It is the goal of the marketing and branding strategy for the logo to become synonymous with
South Cobb and to further enhance the brand identity of the areas more notable attractions,
including Six Flags Over Georgia theme park, Mable House-Barnes Amphitheatre and Arts
Center, Silver Comet Trail, Riverside EpiCenter and various public facilities. Use of the logo
could include printed materials as well as wayfinding and monument signage.

Wilsons convictions were in July of 2013 and December 2015. Sgt. Smith stated that
Mr. Wilson honestly disclosed the two convictions on his application.
Mr. Justin Wilson explained that in May 2013 he was out with his friends on Memorial

the military as an aircraft mechanic. He stated that while he is still in school his only
income is bartending. Mr. Wilson explained that he is currently bartending at Gustons at
the Woodstock location while he is in school and management wants him to transfer to
the Cobb location to assist management, which requires an alcohol permit.
Mr. Wilson provided the License Review Board with a letter from his probation officer as
well as letters of recommendation from his managers. Mr. Wilson reiterated that he had
no excuses for his behavior, but he has made positive changes in his life. He stated that
his girlfriend is his support system. He stated that his girlfriend is currently in school to

11. What are the policies and procedures of the establishment?

No over-serving, serving to minors, absolutely no drinking while working, while in uniform, and no
excessive drinking while being a patron.
12. What type of training does the establishment have for employees?
Three days training behind bar with emphasis on proper identification procedures and ensuring
we don`t contribute to minors.
13. Is this the primary source of income for you?
Yes it would be.
14. What have you done to ensure that you do not violate the law/ordinances in the future? ie - change of
friends, change of address, change of life style
Relocated from Harris County which got me away from a group of friends that weren`t the greatest
influence. Also, moving here has allowed me the opportunity to finish my degree.
15. Do you have a support mechanism such as family, friends, spouse, children, church, etc?
My family is very supportive, my girlfriend has moved up here with me and she is the greatest

a flexible schedule to accommodate my schooling while still earning enough to support myself
and my girlfriend as she goes to school as well.
20. What evidence can you provide the LRB that you understand State and County law regarding the sale and
service of alcohol?
Several days training, noted by the manager of the establishment, but also years of experience
with no issues. I have the determination to perform this job to the best of my ability without
breaking the law in anyway, so that I can move forward with my life, but my past discrepancies
behind me, and become a productive member of society.
21. What has the impact been on you and the ones around you due to your criminal actions?
Initially, remorse and resentment, but since then, these occurrences have forced me to make
positive decisions in my life. Since then, the impact has had a positive outcome. My family and
friends understand and see the positive moves I`ve made and now appreciate everything I am
trying to do with my life.

PURPOSE
To approve a request for Enterprise Zone incentives for Core5 Logistics Center at Hartman
Road.
BACKGROUND
In July 2013, the Cobb County Board of Commissioners approved a resolution authorizing the
creation of the South Cobb Enterprise Zone in accordance with Section 2-176 of the Official
Code of Cobb County. These areas were established in order to encourage existing business
expansion, new business development, and encourage revitalization and new development to
attach jobs and investment to specific areas of Cobb County. Core5 Logistics Center at Hartman
Road is proposing to build a warehouse/distribution facility that will be approximately 650,000
square feet. The facility would be occupied by Project Steady, a beverage distributor, which will
result in the creation of approximately 400 new jobs with anticipated payroll of $26.4
million. Their total investment on the project site, including construction of the new facility
would be approximately $35 million while the proposed tenant would make an additional capital
investment of $20 million to include machinery, equipment, and other related items.
The incentives committee met on August 25, 2016 and recommended that the incentives include
property tax abatement and a cap on the building permit fee. However, in making this
recommendation is was noted that the subject property is located in the countys Six Flags
Special Services District (SFSSD)created in 2015 for the purpose of funding certain public
improvements in a defined geographical area. To this end, the Board of Commissioners and the
South Cobb Redevelopment Authority agreed to partner on the issuance of bonds in the amount
of $10 million. These bond proceeds are being used to accomplish certain approved public
projects within this area. Debt service payments of the bonds are paid from the additional
property tax revenues generated from 3.5 mills currently assessed on all eligible properties in
Page 104 of 215
Comm. Dist.
District 4
the special services district to include the property that is the subject of this enterprise zone
request. In order for the County to insure adequate debt service coverage is available for bond
debt service payments, we are recommending that the applicant enter into a Payment In Lieu Of
Taxes (PILOT) agreement with the Cobb County Board of Tax Assessors that would provide
the terms in which the property would still be required to pay up to the 3.5 mills consistent with
assessments to eligible property owners within the district during the enterprise zone incentive
period. With exception of the SFSSD millage rate, all property taxes are to be abated per the
schedule contained in the Enterprise Zone ordinance. The building permit fee cap is
recommended to be $5,000.00. It is estimated that the total savings from this incentive for Core5
Logistics at Hartman Road would be approximately $1,550,680.00 during the incentive period.
The projected positive economic impact to the County from this development is approximately
$1.75 million during the incentive period. The incentive committee consists of representatives
from the Office of Finance and Economic Development, Community Development Agency,
County Attorney, Department of Transportation, Tax Assessors, and Water System.
If the jobs or investments specified in the Code are not satisfied throughout the entire incentive
period, the recipient of the incentive will be required to pay back the full value of all incentives
received under the Enterprise Zone Program.

RECOMMENDATION
The Board of Commissioners approve the Enterprise Zone incentives for Core5 Logistics at

with the recommendation herein; and authorize the Chairman and other appropriate county

To authorize funding contribution to Cobb Travel & Tourism from the Cobb County General
Fund.
BACKGROUND
Cobb Travel & Tourism is a non-profit organization charged with helping the local community
with long-term travel and tourism goals. It was formerly known as the Cobb Convention and
Visitors Bureau. Its mission is to enhance the economic impact of travel & tourism by
increasing visitation to and awareness of Cobb County. Travel and tourism in Cobb County
represents an economic impact of more than $1.7 billion and supports more than 25,000 jobs.
The Cobb Travel & Tourism organization is instrumental in creating strategic partnerships and
alliances between local businesses and tourism groups. This vital organization is funded through
a combination of hotel occupancy tax revenue and membership dues. To assist Cobb Travel &
Tourism in its strategy to accomplish the communitys long-term travel and tourism goals, the
Cobb County Board of Commissioners would like to provide them with a $40,000.00
contribution from the General Fund.
In previous years, excess collections in the Hotel/Motel Tax Fund have been used to make this
annual contribution in support of Cobb Travel & Tourism. As an important partner in economic
development and community outreach, it is recommended that the contribution be continued.
As excess collections are not available at this time, the contribution will be funded from the
General Fund's FY2016 undesignated contingency.

Funding is available with the following transfer:

PRESENTATION OF PROCLAMATION TO THE DAUGHTERS OF THE

AMERICAN REVOLUTION IN RECOGNITION OF CONSTITUTION
WEEK FROM SEPTEMBER 17-24, 2016
Commissioner Birrell presented the following proclamation to representatives of
the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), designating the week of
September 17-24, 2016 as Constitution Week in Cobb County:
WHEREAS
Constitution Week commemorates Americas most

important document and is celebrated the week of Sept. 1724. The United States Constitution is a symbol of the
tenacity Americans have displayed throughout history to
maintain our liberties, freedoms and inalienable rights; and,
WHEREAS
This celebration of the Constitution was started by the

Daughters of the American Revolution. In 1955, the group
petitioned Congress to set aside Sept. 17-24 to be dedicated
every year for the observance of Constitution Week. The
resolution was later signed into law by President Dwight D.
Eisenhower; and
WHEREAS
The purpose of the Constitution Week celebration is to

emphasize citizens responsibilities to protect and defend the
Constitution, inform people that this important document is
the foundation of our way of life and encourage study of the
historical events that led to the framing of the Constitution
in September 1787; and
WHEREAS
The Daughters of the American Revolution also built a

structure in tribute to the Constitution of the United States.
Constitution Hall, which is a performing arts center that
opened in 1929; now,
THEREFORE
We, the Cobb County Board of Commissioners, do hereby

proclaim Sept. 17-24, 2016, as Constitution Week in Cobb
County and thank the Daughters of the American Revolution
for its tireless advocacy. We encourage all residents to learn
more about this important document and celebrate the
freedoms it affords us.
This, the 13th day of September, 2016.

PRESENTATION TO THE COBB COUNTY REPUBLICAN WOMEN'S

ASSOCIATION DESIGNATING CONSTITUTION DAY SEPTEMBER 17,
2016
Commissioner Birrell presented the following proclamation to representatives of
the Cobb County Republican Womans Association, designating September 17,
2016 as Constitution Day:
WHEREAS
The United States Constitution is a symbol of the tenacity

Americans have displayed throughout history to maintain
our liberties, freedoms and inalienable rights. Sept. 17, 2016,
marks the 229th anniversary of the drafting of this important
document by 39 brave men at the Constitutional Convention
in Philadelphia; and,
WHEREAS
Even before women had the right to vote, Republican

women were dedicated to the cause of freedom, forming
clubs all over the country by the late 1800s. Their purpose
was to promote Republican ideals and educate Americans
about the importance of a sound government; and
WHEREAS
It is vital that all Americans read, study and understand the

greatest document of human liberty and help protect the
freedoms set forth in the Bill of Rights. Since 2010, the Cobb
County Republican Womens Club Constitution Committee,
headed by Millie Rogers and Barbara Hickey, has delivered
Constitutions to fifth graders in both the Cobb County and
Marietta school systems; and
WHEREAS
The Cobb County Republican Womens Club was able to

purchase and deliver more than 4,700 Constitutions with
flashcards to students in 2012. The clubs continued work is
a great way to help educate our youth and honor the efforts
of women who came before them; now,
THEREFORE
We, the Cobb County Board of Commissioners, do hereby

proclaim Sept. 17, 2016, as Constitution Day in Cobb
County and thank the Cobb County Republican Womens
Club for its efforts to educate the public. We encourage all
residents to read and study this magnificent document and
celebrate the 229th anniversary of its creation.

PURPOSE
To approve the ranking of the three most qualified firms for development of the Transit Service
Plan for CobbLinc, a service of Cobb Community Transit, Project No. X2515.
BACKGROUND
Development of a Transit Service Plan (TSP) will include an evaluation of the overall structure
and delivery of transit services provided by CobbLinc, a service of Cobb Community Transit, to
include development of a strategic approach. The TSP will also include compilation of a guide
for the development of service plans that will improve the overall delivery of services to our
customers and meet the evolving transportation and travel needs of both Cobb County and the
region.
Ridership declined following required service cuts in 2011 due to economic factors and
budgetary constraints. Some routes have seen ridership level out, but others have not fully
recovered. One of the key goals of this effort is to improve on-time performance and increase
ridership. The TSP will identify the most effective and efficient use of existing and future transit
resources to provide short-term (one to four years) service implementation recommendations.
On May 23, 2016, the Board of Commissioners authorized the advertisement for and conduct of
a public hearing prior to expending $100,000.00 or more for planning services for development
of the Transit Service Plan for CobbLinc, and also authorized the Department to issue a Request
for Proposals (RFP) to secure these services. Notice of Public Hearing was advertised in the

The departments utilizing the vehicle include: E911, Fire, Police, and Sheriffs Office. Todays
regular use of the vehicle includes operations that often encompasses more than one department
and the support of E911 Tactical dispatchers. The current configuration is limited in its ability to

personnel. Additionally, the technology utilized in the current unit is outdated and often
incomplete in its ability to provide the desired service requirements during incidents.
Frontline Communications has been a leading custom broadcast and communications vehicle
manufacturer since 1985, and has built over 2,500 highly-customized vehicles for this industry.
Frontline Communications is the only broadcast communications vehicle manufacturer that is
ISO 9001:2008 certified for their Quality Management System; an accomplishment which
reflects their unwavering commitment to continual improvement and customer satisfaction.
