Explanation
§ The North Carolina 911 Board distributes funds collected through the state’s 911 service
charge to the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP).
§ The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department is a primary PSAP for answering 911 calls.
Mecklenburg Emergency Medical Services Agency (MEDIC) and the Charlotte Fire Department
are secondary PSAP agencies.
§ The North Carolina 911 Board created a program in 2014 that distributes funds to the
secondary agencies through their primary agency.
- The Board requires all PSAPs, with a secondary agency in the 911 system, to enter
into a contract to implement the secondary funding program.
§ The North Carolina 911 Board requires an Interlocal Agreement between the primary and
secondary agencies in the same system to define and assign responsibilities for answering
and responding to 911 calls. The Agreement must be signed by the Executive Director of
the North Carolina 911 Board.
§ On June 12, 2017, the City Council approved a one-year contract with the North Carolina 911
Board and an Interlocal Agreement with MEDIC. The contract automatically renewed for an
additional one-year term.
§ The North Carolina 911 Board determines the amount of funding provided to secondary
agencies by a formula based on call volume to each individual agency.
§ Funding is used to pay for technology, furniture, and supplies to successfully operate the 911
system.
§ Funding to secondary agencies will not affect funding for the primary agency.

Explanation
§ In December 2010, the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) adopted the North

right of way exist.
§ Projects proposed within NCDOT right of way will follow the same approval processes as those
within city-maintained right of way.
§ Public art projects within city-maintained and NCDOT-maintained right of way will both be reviewed
either by the Beautification Bureau or the Public Art Commission, depending upon the scale.
§ Membership of both groups consists of City Council appointees.
§ This resolution will align the processes for city and NCDOT art approvals, and it will satisfy NCDOT’s
requirement for local resolutions in support of public art projects within NCDOT right of way.

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

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.

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:
No Competitive Process Contracts: Contracts or purchase orders that are entered into without a
competitive process, or entered into based on a competitive process administered by an entity other than
the city, including but not limited to contracts that are entered into by sole sourcing, piggybacking, buying

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

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

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.
72. 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
as right to cross A to get to B, or “in gross,” such as public utility easement.
§ The term “fee simple” is a synonym for ownership and is an estate under which the owner is entitled
to unrestricted powers to dispose of the property, and which can be left by will or inherited.

73. 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.
