Information items:
North Carolina Legislative Update
Resource:
Boyd Cauble, City Manager's Office, 704-336-2009, bcauble@ci.charlotte.nc.us

Attached is a memo from Boyd Cauble addressing the latest status of the budget, and updates on the intermodal transit tax, the Tort Reform Act, and the House and Senate adjournment schedule.

Temporary Water Outage Scheduled in Faires Farm
Resource:
Doug Bean, Utilities, 704-391-5065, dbean@ci.charlotte.nc.us

A Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utilities contractor is scheduled to temporarily turn off water service between 10 p.m. next Friday (8/14/09) and 6 a.m. next Saturday (8/15/09) to complete a new water line connection along McLean Road and Faires Farm Road.

The temporary outage will affect approximately 1,300 homes in that vicinity. The nighttime/overnight timing was scheduled to minimize impact on those residents. The connection will be made as quickly as possible so water service can be restored.

Utilities will begin distributing door hanger notices to the affected area and has advised 311 of the upcoming project. Additionally, the work was coordinated with the Charlotte Fire Department to ensure continued fire protection during the outage.

Mayor's Youth Employment Program Graduation Celebration - August 14
Resource:
Dawn Hill, Neighborhood & Business Services, 704-336-4445, dhill@ci.charlotte.nc.us

The Mayor and Council members are invited to attend the Mayor's Youth Employment Program (MYEP) graduation celebration on Friday, August 14, 2009 from 11:30 am � 1:00 pm at the Crown Plaza Charlotte, located at 201 South McDowell Street. We will recognize the 42 high school seniors who successfully completed MYEP job skills training and work experiences this summer.

This year the MYEP operated in conjunction with the Youth Job Connection, the City's new initiative with Goodwill Industries to provide year-round youth employment services. As of July 31, the Youth Job Connection has provided job readiness training to 670 youth and placed 212 in summer jobs.

A complete report on our youth employment initiatives, including the ARRA stimulus programs, will be provided to Council in September.

Caldwell Street Becomes a Two-Way Street - August 17
Resource:
Kruti Desai, E&PM, 704-353-1795, kdesai@ci.charlotte.nc.us

Beginning Monday, August 17, traffic patterns will change on South Caldwell Street between Fourth Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Starting at 9:00 a.m., crews will begin changing Caldwell Street from a one-way street to a two-way street. The conversion is expected to be complete by noon.

This conversion to two-way traffic is part of the Center City Transportation Plan adopted by the City Council in 2006, and has been implemented as part of the interchange and street modifications associated with the NASCAR Hall of Fame. Later phases will also convert Brevard Street between Stonewall and Trade to two-way traffic. The changes will improve traffic circulation in the area and improve accessibility and safety for pedestrians.
