C. CONSENT AGENDA

If a Councilor requests discussion on an item, the item will be removed from the consent agenda
and considered separately. The vote on the consent agenda will be a roll call vote.
1. American Recovery and Reinvestment Act - Recovery Zone Facility Bond
The City of Raleigh has been allocated $11,072,000 in Recovery Zone Facility Bond
(RZFB) eligibility through stipulations in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
(ARRA). This RZFB permits and entices private development by allowing private
entities to borrow at tax exempt financing rates through use of the City’s credit rating. A
memo outlining the RZFB mechanism is in the agenda packet.
In order to be eligible for and successfully issue this RZFB, the City of Raleigh must:
 Designate a ‘Recovery Zone’ via Resolution on December 1, 2009. A copy of the
resolution and map of the designation area are in the agenda packet.
 File ‘Notice of Intent to Issue Recovery Zone Bonds’ with the North Carolina
Department of Commerce and provide descriptions for all projects under
consideration by December 15, 2009. A copy of this form is in the agenda packet.
Thus far two developers have expressed interest in accessing the RZFB to facilitate
their projects.
 Obtain placement of selected project on the Local Government Commission May 4,
2010, agenda by April 6, 2010.
In determining project selection, staff will use the following guidelines as illustrative
standards for review:
 Catalyze economic benefits to the local economy
 Integrate with the Comprehensive Plan
 Uphold Sustainability standards
Designation of the Recovery Zone and the expression of intent to the State do not
represent any commitment of City funds or the approval of either of the projects. These
steps create the opportunity to use this aspect of ARRA should the City and the County
Industrial Development Commission elect to move ahead with this financing option.
Recommendation:
Approve resolution designating the Urban Progress Zone as a Recovery Zone and
authorize City Administration to proceed with the administrative steps necessary to
achieve issuance of the Recovery Zone Facility Bond.

Kenny Waldroup as secondary voting delegate for the Upper Neuse River Basin

4. NCDOT TIP Project R-2814A Municipal Agreement
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has requested that the City
of Raleigh enter into a municipal agreement regarding TIP Project R-2814A, which
proposes to widen US 401 (Louisburg Road) in northeast Raleigh between Mitchell Mill
Road and the proposed Rolesville Bypass. This agreement indicates the Department’s
intent to move forward with this project and that it has sole responsibility for the
construction costs associated with the project. The agreement also notes that any
conflicts with City-owned utilities have been addressed under a separate agreement.
Staff has no issues with the proposed agreement as drafted, and the City Attorney has
reviewed the draft agreement as to form.
Recommendation:
Authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement as drafted.
5. Resolution Authorizing the Donation of Items of Surplus Property
The Purchasing Manager has a Resolution Authorizing the donation of Items of Surplus
Property that is no longer of use to the City and can be utilized by another agency. G.S.
160A-280 gives authority to local governments to donate to another governmental unit
within the United States, a sister city, or a nonprofit organization. A public notice has
been made of at least five days prior to the adoption of a resolution approving the
donation.

3
City Council Agenda December 1, 2009

The donation includes 5 each Light Pickup Trucks to the Wheels 4 Hope a non-profit
agency that serves Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Chapel Hill and surrounding towns by
working with local private social service agencies to identify individuals who will benefit
from a donated car and who have shown a history of stability and dedication to
improving their lives.
It is recommended that the proposed resolutions be adopted by the City Council and the
Purchasing Manager be authorized to transfer the equipment.
Recommendation:
Approve the recommendation of administration and adopt the resolution.
6. Resolution Authorizing the Placement of Construction Insurance Through an
Owner Controlled Insurance Program (OCIP)
Based on a proposal process conducted in 2007, the City uses two firms to provide
insurance broker services - Bagwell & Bagwell and Marsh, Inc.
In anticipation of construction of the Clarence E. Lightner Public Safety Center, it is
appropriate to begin plans for including an OCIP (owner controlled insurance program)
should the project be approved to move forward. Based on an analysis of broker
capabilities and experience, the city’s Risk Manager recommends that Bagwell &
Bagwell Insurance Agency (and their subcontractor, Insurance Office of America) be
issued a Broker of Record letter that will allow them to market the Lightner Center’s
OCIP. Bagwell & Bagwell has a long standing relationship with the City of Raleigh and
has handled the placement of more than 139 OCIPs.
It is recommended that the resolution approving this action be adopted by the City
Council and that the Risk Manager be authorized to issue a Broker of Record letter to
Bagwell & Bagwell Insurance Agency (and its subcontractor Insurance Company of
America) to market an OCIP for the Clarence E. Lightner Center.
Recommendation:
Approve the placement of insurance coverage for the Lightner Center through an OCIP
and the accompanying resolution, conditional on the construction of the project being
approved by the City Council.
7. Re-Submittal of Application to North Carolina Department of Commerce for Urban
Progress Zone Designation for the City of Raleigh
The State of North Carolina’s Article 3J tax credits program provides economic
incentives to stimulate new investment and job creation in economically distressed urban
areas that qualify as an Urban Progress Zone (UPZ). Last year the Council approved
making application for designation of a UPZ for the City of Raleigh. Per North Carolina
Department of Commerce guidelines, this previously approved zone designation will
expire December 31, 2009, unless re-application by the City and new approval
determination by the Department Commerce is made. A map of the proposed Urban
Progress Zone that meets State qualifying criteria is in the agenda packet. This year’s
application and UPZ area boundary proposal is essentially the same as last year except
for a slight revision in boundary area due to minor changes in city limits for census tract
523.01 and 524.01.
Recommendation:
Adopt a resolution requesting designation of area shown on map as an Urban Progress
Zone and approval of the Mayor’s signature on the updated UPZ application request to
the North Carolina Department of Commerce.

15.2 Synaptis
As part of the City’s efforts in implementing a new Enterprise Resource Planning
(ERP) system, a comprehensive training program was developed. The training
strategy supplements existing project training consultants with a qualified
training service provider. In September 2009, City Council authorized
Administration to amend the current contract with, Moonracer, Inc., (dba) as
Synaptis, in the amount of $639,666, to provide the remainder of the training for
the ERP project.
Subsequently, the project team, in consultation with Synaptis, completed a
training assessment to evaluate if enhanced training solutions were required for

8
City Council Agenda December 1, 2009

the Customer Care and Billing phase. Some of the enhancements identified are
development of on-line topics which provide users an opportunity to become
more familiar with the system prior to implementation, supplementary workshops
focused on day-in-the-life activities of a customer facing team, and an
experienced roving support team to provide one-on-one assistance following go
live. These additional solutions will assure that the new utility billing system
will result in a positive customer experience when implemented. It is
recommended that City Council authorize Administration to amend the contract
with Synaptis for an additional $170,200 to provide the full training program
necessary for the successful delivery of Customer Care and Billing. The funding
for this contract amendment is available within the ERP training budget.

5% pay allowance for captains serving as district commanders. The corporal
positions will be reclassified as vacancies occur. This plan as outlined is budget

Class 003206) as Sergeants (Grade PG, Class 003211).
16.4 Police Reclassifications
In light of RPD’s revised 2010 organizational changes that have been requested
in support of RPD’s 2009-2014 Strategic Plan, the Department requests the
following two reclassifications: 1) a Senior Staff Support Specialist position
005081, PG 25, class 0401 to an Administrative Assistant position PG 31 and 2)
a Police Training Director position 002274, PG 37, class 0460 to a Training
Director position PG 38. The Administrative Assistant position has taken on
additional administrative and functional duties in support of the Field Operations
Division. The Training Director’s role has also expanded, in part, by providing

During the November 3, 2009, Council meeting, the Public Works Committee
recommended the bicycle/pedestrian path and parking portions of the item be removed
from the agenda with no action taken and that the matter be referred by the City Council
to the new Public Works Committee. Staff has been instructed to enter into discussions
with property owners along the east side of Trenton Road and with the State regarding
possible construction of a greenway connector along the east side of Trenton Road;
explore short-term parking solutions for access to the Reedy Creek Road entrance to
Umstead State Park; and approach NCDOT regarding the possible reduction of the 45
mph speed limit along the portions of Trenton Road under State jurisdiction to 35 mph.
Ms. Baldwin expressed concern as she wanted this matter to have a timeframe as the item
has been in Committee for some time. A motion was passed by Council that this issue be
bought back to Council in December and that short-term parking be reviewed within 60
days.
2. Trenton Road Area - No Parking Zones
During the November 3, 2009, Council meeting Chairperson Stephenson stated the

back for Council consideration. The recommendation did not receive a second.
Discussion took place relative to the various items relating to the area and clarification on

process in fall 2010. This will allow the data collected in a survey to be available to
complement the planning process.

interest levels for recreation programs and facilities associated with Chavis
