been eligible) to receive an equivalent 7.692 percent retroactive increase to their leave payout
upon termination with the City. This action will include all Firefighters who retired between October
15, 2013, and March 25, 2019, with the exception of plaintiffs in the previously referenced lawsuit.

operational Firefighters, and how rate of pay is calculated when paying leave.
§ This action will confirm the appropriate number of accrued hours to be reported to the Charlotte
Firefighter’s Retirement System for leave payouts, but allows for the days to be paid at a higher
rate of pay, resulting in a positive impact to future firefighter retirees.

20. Guidelines for Preserving Naturally Occurring Affordable
Housing
Action:
Approve the Housing and Neighborhood Development Committee’s recommendation to approve
the Guidelines for Preserving Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing.
Committee Chair:
LaWana Mayfield, Housing and Neighborhood Development
Staff Resource(s):
Pamela Wideman, Housing and Neighborhood Services
Miles Vaughn, Housing and Neighborhood Services
Explanation
§ Most of Charlotte’s existing affordable rental options, and particularly options for low-to-moderate
income households, are large-scale Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing developments (NOAH).
The preservation of NOAH is noted as a national best practice for maintaining the supply of quality,
diverse price point housing and is identified as a key strategy in the Housing Charlotte Framework.
§ The industry standard defines NOAH developments as:
- Multi-family rental property 15 years or older with at least 50 units,
- In need of light to moderate rehabilitation,
- Currently providing rents for households in area median income brackets that are at-risk
relative to neighborhood dynamics, and
- Be rehabilitated to maintain the quality of life for residents for 15 years or more.
§ The goals of the guidelines for preserving NOAH include:
- Limiting displacement of current residents by preserving existing affordability,
- Preserving quality affordable and workforce housing by increasing the number of available
deed-restricted units and the physical structure of the units,
- Providing low-interest loans so that high performing for-profit and non-profit
owner-operators can buy and/or upfit NOAH properties and preserve them as affordable,
- Allowing existing owners to participate in return for deed restrictions and demonstrated
management and maintenance history, and
- Aligning guidelines with other City policies.
§ Per the guidelines, the level of funding for NOAH investments by the City will:
- Range between $10,000 and $35,000 per unit,
- Depend on acquisition price, level of necessary rehabilitation and incomes served, and
- Require a minimum leverage ratio of 1:3 (public/private).
Committee Discussion
§ On February 20, 2019, the Housing and Neighborhood Development Committee (Committee)
unanimously approved the guidelines (Driggs, Harlow, and Newton; Mayfield and Egleston were
absent).

Police Department to establish a registration requirement for owners of residential rental
property when excessive levels of disorder activity have occurred on or in the property.

§ Failure to comply with rental ordinance could result in civil penalty of $50.
§ Remove language on administrative fee for initial meeting.
§ Remove subsection requiring posting proof of registration.
§ Language added to clarify right to appeal.

2018, December 11, 2018, and February 20, 2019 concerning the proposed amendments to the
Residential Rental Registration and Remedial Action Program Ordinance.

explanation for those agenda items that reference the Charlotte Business INClusion Policy in the business
meeting agenda.
Part A: Administration and Enforcement
Part A: Section 2.3: Targeted Outreach and Designated Contracts for Small Business Enterprises (SBEs).
When feasible, the Charlotte Business INClusion (CBI) Office may designate certain Contracts or categories
of Contracts in which solicitation efforts will be directed only to SBEs. In designating Contracts for
targeted outreach or SBE participation, the CBI Office takes into account the size and scope of the
Contract and the availability of SBEs to provide the applicable services or products.
Part A: Section 3.1: Subcontracting Goals. The City shall establish one or more Subcontracting Goals for
all Construction Contracts of $300,000 or more and for all Architecture, Engineering, and Surveying
Contracts of $100,000 or more. Contracts estimated to be less than these thresholds are exempt from the
goal setting process.
Appendix Section 20: Contract: For the purposes of establishing an (Minority, Women, and Small
Business Enterprise (MWSBE) subcontracting goal on a Contract, the following are examples of contract
types:
§ Any agreement through which the City procures services from a Business Enterprise, other than
Exempt Contracts.
§ Contracts include agreements and purchase orders for (a) construction, re-construction, alteration,
and remodeling; (b) architectural work, engineering, surveying, testing, construction management,
and other professional services related to construction; and (c) services of any nature (including
but not limited to general consulting and technology-related services), and (d) apparatus, supplies,
goods, or equipment.
§ The term “Contract” shall also include Exempt Contracts for which an SBE, Minority Business
Enterprise (MBE), or Women Business Enterprise (WBE) Goal has been set.
§ Financial Partner Agreements, Development Agreements, Infrastructure Improvement Agreements,
Design-Build, and Construction Manager-at-Risk Agreements shall also be deemed “Contracts,” but
shall be subject to the provisions referenced in the respective Parts of the Charlotte Business
INClusion Program Policy.

categories are “Exempt Contracts” and shall be exempt from all aspects of the Charlotte Business INClusion
Policy:

allowed under G.S. 143-129(e)(3), or using the emergency procurement procedures established by the
North Carolina General Statutes.

or division competes with Business Enterprises to perform a City function.

program or minority and women business development program maintained by a Financial Partner.
Interlocal Agreements: Contracts with other units of federal, state, or local government.
Contracts for Legal Services: Contracts for legal services, unless otherwise indicated by the City
Attorney.
Contracts with Waivers: Contracts for which the City Manager or CBI Program Manager waives the CBI
Program requirements (such as when there are no MWSBE subcontracting opportunities on a Contract).
Special Exemptions: Contracts where the department and the CBI Program Manager agree that the
department had no discretion to hire an MWSBE (e.g., emergency contracts or contracts for banking or
insurance services) shall be Exempt Contracts.
Appendix Section 35: Informal Contracts: Contracts that are estimated to be less than the following
dollar thresholds prior to issuance of the City Solicitation Documents:
§ Construction Contracts: $500,000, and
§ Service Contracts and Commodities Contracts: $100,000.
Part B: Construction and Commodities Contracts
Part B: Section 2.1: When the City sets a Subcontracting Goal, each Bidder must either: (a) meet each
Subcontracting Goal; or (b) comply with the Good Faith Negotiation and Good Faith Efforts requirements for
each unmet Subcontracting Goal. Failure to comply constitutes grounds for rejection of the Bid. The City
Solicitation Documents will contain certain forms that Bidders must complete to document having met
these requirements.
Part B: Section 2.3: No Goals When There Are No Subcontracting Opportunities. The City shall not
establish Subcontracting Goals for Contracts where: a) there are no subcontracting opportunities identified
for the Contract; or b) there are no SBEs, MBEs, or WBEs (as applicable) to perform scopes of work or
provide products or services that the City regards as realistic opportunities for subcontracting.
Part C: Service Contracts
Part C: Section 2.1(a) Subcontracting Goals: No Goal When There Are No MWSBE Subcontracting
Opportunities. The City shall not establish Subcontracting Goals for Service Contracts where (a) there are
no subcontracting opportunities identified; or (b) there are no SBEs or MWBEs certified to perform the
scopes of work that the City regards as realistic opportunities for subcontracting.

If a Contractor elects to subcontract any portion of a Contract that the Contractor did not previously
identify to the City as a subcontracting opportunity, or if the scope of work on a Contract increases for
any reason in a manner that creates a new MWSBE subcontracting opportunity, the City shall either (a)
notify the Contractor that there will be no Supplemental MWSBE Goal for the new work; or (b) establish
and notify the Contractor of a Supplemental MWSBE Goal for the new work.
Part G: Alternative Construction Agreements
Part G: Section 2.7: Prior to City Council’s vote to award the Alternative Construction Agreement, the
Program Manager and the Company shall negotiate and agree on proposed MWSBE Goals for the Project
and on a Participation Plan that describes the outreach and efforts the Company will be required to
undertake to meet the MWSBE subcontracting goals.
81. Reference - Property Acquisitions and Condemnations
§ The City has negotiated in good faith to acquire the properties set forth below
§ For acquisitions, the property owner and staff have agreed on a price based on appraisals and/or
estimates.
§ In the case of condemnations, the value was established by an independent, certified appraisal
followed by a third-party appraisal review.
§ Real Estate staff diligently attempts to contact all property owners by:
- Sending introductory letters via regular and certified mail,
- Making several site visits,
- Leaving door hangers and business cards,
- Seeking information from neighbors,
- Searching the internet,
- Obtaining title abstracts, and
- Leaving voice messages.
§ For most condemnation cases, City staff and the property owner(s) have been unable to reach a
settlement. In some cases, condemnation is necessary to ensure a clear title to the property.
§ If the City Council approves the resolutions, the City Attorney’s office will initiate condemnation
proceedings. As part of the condemnation process, real estate staff and the City Attorney’s Office
will continue to negotiate, including court-mandated mediation, in an attempt to resolve the matter.
Most condemnation cases are settled by the parties prior to going to court.
§ If a settlement cannot be reached, the case will proceed to a trial before a judge or jury to
determine “just compensation.”
§ Full text of each resolution is on file with the City Clerk’s Office.
§ The definition of easement is a right created by grant, reservation, agreement, prescription, or
necessary implication, which one has in the land of another, it is either for the benefit of land, such

82. Reference - Property Transaction Process
Property Transaction Process Following City Council Approval for Condemnation
The following overview is intended to provide further explanation for the process of property transactions
that are approved by City Council for condemnation.
Approximately six weeks of preparatory work is required before the condemnation lawsuit is filed. During
this time, City staff continues to negotiate with the property owner in an effort to reach a mutual
settlement.
§ If a settlement is reached, the condemnation process is stopped, and the property transaction
proceeds to a real estate closing.
§ If a settlement cannot be reached, the condemnation lawsuit is filed. Even after filing, negotiations
continue between the property owner and the City’s legal representative. Filing of the
condemnation documents allows:
- The City to gain access and title to the subject property so the capital project can proceed
on schedule.
- The City to deposit the appraised value of the property in an escrow account with the Clerk
of Court. These funds may be withdrawn by the property owner immediately upon filing, and
at any time thereafter, with the understanding that additional funds transfer may be required
at the time of final settlement or at the conclusion of litigation.
§ If a condemnation lawsuit is filed, the final trial may not occur for 18 to 24 months; however, a vast
majority of the cases settle prior to final trial. The City’s condemnation attorney remains actively
engaged with the property owner to continue negotiations throughout litigation.
- North Carolina law requires that all condemnation cases go through formal non-binding
mediation, at which an independent certified mediator attempts to facilitate a successful
settlement. For the minority of cases that do not settle, the property owner has the right
to a trial by judge or jury in order to determine the amount of compensation the property
owner will receive.
