To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members

From: Wendell K. Willard

Date: For Submission onto the April 6, 2010 City Council Work Session Agenda

Agenda Item:

Proposed Ordinance to amend Chapter 54, Article III, Section 54-51 to add a

subsection (c) setting forth the deduction allowed the collector of the hotel-motel tax

City Attorneys Recommendation:

That the proposed ordinance amendment, which is attached, be approved so as to providenotice of the deduction available to those required to comply with Chapter 54, Article III on the

Hotel-Motel Tax and to clarify the circumstances under which this deduction is allowed to betaken.

Background:O.C.G.A. Section 48-13-50, et seq. authorizes each county and municipality in the State

of Georgia to levy certain excise taxes on rooms, lodgings, and accommodations as provided

thereafter in that article.Pursuant to O.C.G.A. Section 48-13-51(a)(5), the City is authorized to impose, assess,

and levy an excise tax of 7% of the rent for every occupancy of a guestroom in a hotel, as

defined by the ordinance. Hotel is defined in Section 54-50 of the ordinance as a structure orany portion of a structure, including, but not limited to, rooming or lodging houses, inns, motels,

motor hotels and courts, hotels, cabins, public or private clubs, and tourist camps, which contain

guestrooms which are regularly furnished for value to the public.

O.C.G.A. Section 48-13-52 provides that when this tax is paid when due, the collector ofthe tax is allowed a reimbursement in the sum of three percent in the form of a deduction, but

only if the amount due was not delinquent at the time of payment.

Discussion:Payment of this tax to Sandy Springs is made on a monthly basis, and although the form

used by the City references the deduction, the deduction is not, but should be, set forth in the

ordinance. Since the ordinance provides in subsection (b) of Section 54-51 the tax shall notapply to charges or transactions excluded or exempted from the tax by state law, it appears that

what should be subsection (c) was either overlooked or inadvertently omitted.

Alternatives:To do nothing and leave as is, would leave in question whether the ordinance as currently

stated adequately complies with state law authorizing the imposition of this tax according to the

guidelines set forth in the applicable state statutes.

FROM: Thomas Black, Public Works Director

DATE: March 23, 2010, for Submission onto the Agendas of the April 6, 2010, City CouncilWork Session and the April 20, 2010, City Council Meeting

ITEM: Consideration of Approval of the Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA)For the MARTA Funded Projects Currently Programmed in the TransportationImprovement Plan (TIP)

Public Works Departments Recommendation:

The Staff recommends that the Mayor and City Council consent to the partnership agreementbetween the City of Sandy Springs and MARTA and that the City Council authorize the Mayor tosign the Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA).

Background:

In September 2009, staff reported to Mayor and City Council a potential additional fundingsource for transit related transportation projects due to American Recovery and ReinvestmentAct (ARRA) funding from the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) to MARTA for operations. Inreturn for the ARCs allocation of $25 million in Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO)ARRA Flexible STP Highway Program Funds, MARTA has given program authority for $25million in MARTA capital funds. While these funds have no specific obligation deadline or other

timing restrictions, they are subject to other legal restrictions such as the MARTA Act of 1965 asamended and the Rapid Transit Contract and Assistance Agreement (RTCAA) of 1971. Staffmet with ARC and MARTA staff on July 16, 2009 to discuss the potential funding. Theproposed breakdown of the $25 million at this meeting was based on sales tax generation andwas as follows:

North Fulton $6.25 million,South Fulton $2 million,City of Atlanta $8.5 million, andDeKalb County $8.25 million.

Discussion:

The $6.25 million allocation for North Fulton County was divided among the five northern citiesbased upon the match formula used in the North Fulton Comprehensive Transportation Plan(NFCTP) Memorandum of Agreement (MOA). The City of Sandy Springs will receiveapproximately 28% or $1.75 million for transit related projects.

The guidance given to staff in September resulted in the following project categories:

Transit sidewalk connectivity and safety upgrades ($1.2 million),


83/122

Bus shelter replacements at 18 different locations ($360,000),Illuminated overhead signage at rail stations ($25,000), andA midblock crossing at MARTA stop location along Roswell Road (SR 9) near LongIsland Drive ($150,000).

These project amounts were added to ARCs Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) by

Administrative Modification on March 5, 2010.

The City intends to enter into a project Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with MARTA toaccess the $1.74 million in funding and formalize the agreement between the two entities. Thedraft IGA is attached in Exhibit A as the Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA).

Alternatives:

If the City chooses not to execute an IGA with MARTA, there will be no formal frameworkbetween the entities to direct the completion of these projects, and the funding would likely bedivided among the remaining four North Fulton County cities.

Financial Impact:

This funding would not require any type of local match. Also, the funds could be used as a localmatch for a federally funded project if the project can be shown to have nexus to transit.

Public Works Departments Recommendation:

The staff recommends that the Mayor and City Council accept the construction bids for thestreetscape project located in the current Perimeter Community Improvement District (PCID)construction plans for the ongoing LCI project on Peachtree Dunwoody Road, lying and locatedin Land Lot 18 of the 17th District of Fulton County, Georgia.

JJE Constructors, Inc. $1,694,059.11Butch Thompson Enterprises, Inc. $1,937,616.38

Discussion:

The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) and the Atlanta Regional Commission(ARC) are currently reviewing the bids. If approved by ARC and GDOT, staff recommends thatMayor and City Council approve the award of the contract to JJE Constructors, Inc.
