The Public Art and Design Board (PADB) has selected two sites, the Buffaloe RoadAquatic Center and Halifax Park and Community Center, for public art as part of the CIPHalf Percent for Art program. The PADB recommends that Half Percent for Arts fundsbe pooled from nine projects identified as possible sites for public art, all of which wouldbe funded by the 2007 Parks and Recreation Bond. The estimated total of pooled fundsfor the current fiscal year (FY 09-10) and next fiscal year (FY 10-11) is $115,246. PerOrdinance 2009-563, City Council approval is required for use of pooled funds to enablethe increase of project budgets for a particular project above estimated one-half percentof construction costs. The recommended budgets for these two projects of $71,500 forpublic art at the Buffaloe Road Aquatic Center and $32,100 for Halifax Park andCommunity Center should be established now so that artists can be engaged as soon aspossible in order to maximize design integration and cost savings.

The Raleigh Police Department has developed a close working relationship with theNorth Carolina State University (NCSU) Police Department. Recently both departmentshave discussed the possibility of the expansion of the territorial jurisdiction of NCSUPolice pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 116-40.5(a). This statute allows a municipality to grant jurisdiction to a Campus Law Enforcement agency affiliated with the North CarolinaUniversity System.
City Council Agenda March 2, 20103
Under the terms of the proposed agreement NCSU Police officers would be granted thefollowing additional authority: Limited extra-territorial jurisdiction on streets andproperty immediately surrounding campus; jurisdiction at certain, specified, addressesthat are not on campus but serve as campus housing; the ability to arrest or charge for anymisdemeanor or felony committed in the presence of on-duty NCSU Police Officer whileinside the City of Raleigh; and the ability to serve arrest and search warrants for crimescommitted on campus with the express consent of the Raleigh Police Department WatchCommander. Under the terms of the proposed agreement NCSU officers would beprohibited from conducting routine patrol beyond their currently existing territorial jurisdiction. Approval of this agreement would result in a more efficient utilization of resources for both agencies. There is no cost to the City associated with this agreement.
