14. Housing Charlotte Framework
Action:
Approve the Housing Charlotte Framework for building and expanding access to opportunity
through housing investments.
Committee Chair:
LaWana Mayfield, Housing and Neighborhood Development
Staff Resource(s):
Pamela Wideman, Housing and Neighborhood Services
Explanation
§ The Housing Charlotte Framework (Framework) establishes a collaborative effort among the City and
other community partners for the allocation of private and public resources to guide the City’s
affordable housing investments, policies, processes, and related decisions.
§ The framework’s recommended key strategies and short-term priority financial tools represent
specific policy objectives and methods the City and its partners will explore to address housing
affordability challenges.
§ The framework builds on recent community initiatives, plans, and studies including City Council’s
2016 Letter to the Community, the Urban Land Institute’s Terwilliger Center for Housing report, the
Leading on Opportunity report, and the recently completed Evergreen Task Force report.
Framework Process
§ The Framework development process began in April 2017 and involved focus group discussions.
§ The development process also included updates to the Housing and Neighborhood Development
Committee, as well as updates to City Council during the August 28, 2017, April 2, 2018 and July 23,
2018 Council Meetings.
Framework Outline
§ The Framework is guided by three core considerations:
- Increasing capacity to serve low-income residents with a focus on households earning below
60 percent of area median income,
- Serving residents vulnerable to housing displacement, and
- Using housing to build and expand access to opportunity.
§ It also entails a three-pronged approach:
- Expanding the supply of high-quality rental housing and homeownership opportunities,
- Preserving the affordability and quality of existing rental housing stock, and
- Supporting family self-sufficiency.
§ The Framework includes an executive summary as well as sections that provide an overview of the
existing and anticipated future housing conditions; existing local tools, policies, resources and
initiatives; proposed strategies; and potential tools to increase the production and preservation of
affordable housing.
§ While some of the proposed strategies and priority financial tools are items the City can consider
implementing, many will require new public and private-sector support and resources.
Committee Discussion
§ The Housing and Neighborhood Development Committee (Committee) received updates on the
Framework during the Committee meetings on April 26, 2017, and June 28, 2017.
§ During the Housing Retreat on April 20, 2018, the Committee reviewed the Framework’s core
considerations, affirmed the three-pronged approach (housing expansion, preservation, and family
self-sufficiency), and reviewed proposed tools for addressing each of the three approaches.
§ The Committee continued discussion and review of the Framework at the May 16, 2018, and June 4,
2018, meetings.
§ On June 13, 2018, the Committee unanimously recommended the Framework be considered by City
City of Charlotte Page 12 Printed on 8/29/2018

Explanation
§ On October 28, 2013, City Council authorized a grant acceptance from the Governor’s Highway
Safety Program (GHSP) to offset costs of a Driving While Impaired (DWI) Task Force to focus on
mitigating DWI and informing the dangers associated with DWI for four years.
§ GHSP modified the grant offering and offered a sixth year of funding for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2019
grant for $187,479, which funds 25 percent of the Task Force’s personnel costs for six officers and
one sergeant assigned to the DWI Task Force.
- A City match of $562,438 is required from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department’s
(CMPD) operating budget to fund the remaining costs not funded by the grant.
§ The grant funded the DWI Task Force at 100 percent in FY 2014 ($797,304), 85 percent in FY 2015
($488,350), 70 percent in FY 2016 ($418,415), 50 percent in FY 2017 ($359,847), 25 percent in FY
2018 ($187,479), and will fund 25 percent in FY 2019 ($187,479), which offsets the Task Force
costs by $2,438,874 over the six-year grant award period.
§ In FY 2020, the City will resume the total annual cost of the DWI Task Force of $749,917.
§ The DWI Task Force continues to be a significant factor in the number of enforcement actions
taken by CMPD. In FY 2018, the DWI Task Force:
- Charged 398 drivers with DWI,
- Issued 2,723 traffic citations, and
- Assisted with 22 DWI related fatality cases.
§ In 2018 the DWI Task Force conducted over 30 educational awareness sessions with area high
school students and instructed over 100 officers in standardized field sobriety testing.
§ GHSP requires that City Council pass a resolution to authorize CMPD to apply for and accept the
grant funding.

Explanation
§ The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires airports to have data in the following two
formats: AutoCAD and GIS. Aviation has a large amount of data duplication between AutoCAD and
GIS, which creates unnecessary work and conflicting data.
§ This recommended software solution will create common data storage that can be consumed by
both GIS and AutoCAD software, while also meeting FAA data requirements.
§ This solution will also allow interoperability between geospatial data and other Airport technology
systems. Some of the functionality/compatibility components include:
- Add-on modules that use geospatial data to manage the Airport’s assets including pavement
management, IT asset management, electrical panel management, and airfield sign
management for Part-139 compliance, and
- 3D functionality, reporting, location/vehicle tracking, and closed-circuit TV video
management.
§ On December 22, 2017, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP); four proposals were received.
§ X-Spatial, LLC best meets the City’s needs in terms of experience, implementation plan, system
functionality, staffing, compensation and responsiveness to RFP requirements.
§ Expenditures for licensing and implementing the system are estimated to be $520,000.
§ This activity is occurring on airport property, Council District 3.

Explanation
§ On September 20, 2016, the City Manager approved a contract in the amount of $85,246 with RS&H
Architects-Engineers-Planners, Inc. to conduct an independent fee estimate (IFE).
§ Federal regulations require a third party to conduct an IFE for federally funded negotiated
professional services, such as consultant costs for the Environmental Impact Study (EIS).
§ The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has requested the EIS be completed in multiple phases in
order to better estimate costs for the project. This has increased RS&H
Architects-Engineers-Planners, Inc.’s scope of work and an amendment to the original contract is
necessary to provide continued services.
§ This amendment will allow RS&H Architects-Engineers-Planners, Inc. to work through the remaining
portions of the EIS.
§ The new value of the contract, including amendment #1, is $199,234.
§ This activity is occurring on airport property, Council District 3.
Background
§ On March 2, 2016, the City of Charlotte and the FAA executed a Memorandum of Understanding
that establishes the framework in which the FAA will prepare an EIS for proposed projects at the
Airport.
§ On April 24, 2017, City Council approved a contract, in the amount of $3,107,090, with VHB
Engineering NC, PC to provide the public and agency scoping services and the first amendment on
May 30, 2018, to conduct the affected environment portion of the study.

Rehabilitation
Action:
Approve a Community Development Block Grant allocation in the amount of $375,000 to Habitat
for Humanity of Charlotte for single-family housing rehabilitation.
Staff Resource(s):
Pamela Wideman, Housing and Neighborhood Services
Miles Vaughn, Housing and Neighborhood Services
Explanation
§ Habitat for Humanity of Charlotte (Habitat) is requesting $375,000 of Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) funding to continue partnering with the City to rehabilitate 33 homes of low and
moderate-income families through its Critical Home Repair Program.
§ Since 2010, Habitat has collaborated with the City on this program to rehabilitate more than 300
homes. Habitat has an existing pipeline of eligible clients and anticipates expending these funds by
July 2019.
§ The need for this service outpaces the City’s ability to respond to the demand. By partnering with
Habitat, the City can serve more families. The organization’s unique business model, business
partners, and volunteer network allow it to leverage the City’s investment at a 1:1 ratio. These
results are achieved primarily through volunteer hours, private funding, and donated materials.
§ This funding will help the City meet its housing program goals, which include:
- Preserving the existing affordable housing stock,
- Preventing displacement of homeowners, and
- Allowing homeowners to age in place by creating a suitable living environment.
Background
§ On May 14, 2018, City Council adopted the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) Annual Action Plan (Plan). The CDBG program supports the Plan, which:
- Identifies the need for affordable, safe, and decent housing for low and moderate-income
families, and
- Reaffirms three basic goals of the City’s Housing Policy:
§ Preserve the existing housing stock,
§ Expand the supply of affordable housing, and
§ Support family self-sufficiency initiatives.
§ The CDBG program’s primary goal is to increase the stock and quality of affordable housing units
serving households earning 80 percent of the area median income ($56,550) or below.

Explanation
§ Pursuant to North Carolina General Statute (N.C.G.S.) 160A-279 staff is requesting City Council’s
approval to convey two porch-style metal swings and frames for public use to Sustain Charlotte,
Inc.
§ In July 2018, Housing and Neighborhood Services and Planning, Design and Development were
awarded a $15,500 AARP Community Challenge grant to install porch-style swings for public use
near bus stops along Belmont Avenue in the Belmont Community.
§ The AARP Community Challenge is a program sponsored by the AARP Livable Communities that
awards “quick-action" grants to make communities livable for people of all ages.
§ The purpose of the swing project is to create “place” and opportunities for community interaction
by installing unique and comfortable features where people gather, while improving the experience
of waiting for a bus and the experience of walking to business destinations.
§ Belmont Avenue was identified as a prime candidate for the porch swing project due to the
community’s continual engagement around the revitalization of the corridor. The locations along
Belmont Avenue which were selected based on proximity to CATS Bus Route 4, proximity to existing
and emerging community businesses/organizations, topography for ease of construction, and
ownership that can provide oversight and the minimal maintenance that may be required.
§ Estimated value of each swing and frame unit is $2,890, making the total estimated value $5,780.
Additionally, the City will contract with Sustain Charlotte, Inc. for the installation of the swings,
which is estimated at approximately $7,500.

omitted from the original resolution.
§ After 2012, the Shared Services department was eliminated, and its functions were transferred to
Management and Financial Services.
§ The purpose of the revised resolution is to update the 2012 version by granting the disposal
authority to the City Manager, who may then delegate it to such City employees as deemed
appropriate for the efficient disposition of the property. This will eliminate the need for future
updates as department names and responsibilities evolve over time.

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.
Appendix Section 27: Exempt Contracts: Contracts that fall within one or more of the following
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
off the North Carolina State contract, buying from a competitive bidding group purchasing program as
allowed under G.S. 143-129(e)(3), or using the emergency procurement procedures established by the
North Carolina General Statutes.
Managed Competition Contracts: Managed competition contracts pursuant to which a City department
or division competes with Business Enterprises to perform a City function.
Real Estate Leasing and Acquisition Contracts: Contracts for the acquisition or lease of real estate.
Federal Contracts Subject to Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Requirements: Contracts
that are subject to the U.S. Department of Transportation Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program as
City of Charlotte Page 110 Printed on 8/29/2018
City Council Business Meeting Meeting Agenda August 27, 2018
set forth in 49 CFR Part 26 or any successor legislation.
State Funded Contracts Subject to the State’s MWBE Requirements: Contracts that are subject to
an MWBE Goal set by the State of North Carolina pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. 143-128.2.
Financial Partner Agreements with DBE or MWBE Requirements: Contracts that are subject to a DBE
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.
Part C: Section 2.1(b) and 2.1(c): The City may require each Proposer to submit with its Proposal one or
more of the following: (a) a Participation Plan describing how Proposer intends to solicit MWSBE

MWBEs it intends to use on the Contract.

Proposals have been submitted.

City of Charlotte Page 111 Printed on 8/29/2018

Part D: Section 6: New Subcontractor Opportunities/Additions to Scope/Contract Amendments
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.
109. 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
- Leave 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 definition of fee simple 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, commonly, synonym for
ownership.

110. 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.
