the Roval 400 race. The City will receive $15 for each attachment. As required, the North Carolina Department of Transportation has reviewed and approved the banner design. The applicant may install the banners no earlier than September 22, 2025 and must remove the banners no later than October 14, 2025.

Recommendation: Motion to approve a License to Attach Banners to City of Concord Property to Conder Flag Company for the placement of temporary race banners on Bruton Smith Blvd. and Hwy. 29.

C. Consider adopting a resolution authorizing an inter-local agreement with Cabarrus County for the distribution and use of settlement funds from the National Opioid Litigation Settlement Funds.

The City is participating in the National Opioid Litigation. When the first settlement funds were distributed, the City received an initial payout of about $189,910.05, and that amount has earned interest resulting in a current amount of $200,750.17. A small amount of additional interest is expected to accrue before the funds are transferred to the County.

If approved, the County will agree to accept the funds and use them in accordance with the requirements of the settlement, the agreement with the North Carolina Department of Justice regarding the use of settlement funds and the attached inter-local agreement. The funds will be used for evidence-based addiction treatment.

Recommendation: Consider adopting a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter an inter-local agreement with Cabarrus County for the distribution and use of settlement funds from the National Opioid Litigation Settlement Funds.

D. Consider approving partnership memorandum of understanding (MOU) related to the Assistance, Services, and Knowledge (A.S.K.) program.

In August of 2024, Concord was selected as one of eight cities to participate in the National League of Cities Healthy Housing Innovation Cohort. Since that time, staff has worked to coordinate a core group of local partners who share the vision of advancing the health outcomes and improving healthy housing equally throughout Concord and Cabarrus County. The overall effort has been named the A.S.K. program with the goal to provide residents with the assistance, services, and knowledge to assist with whatever the need is as partners agree a household’s needs do not stop at just the structure of a home.

As these efforts progress, the need to complete a more formal agreement to better define role and expectations for partner participation in the project has become evident. Staff has worked with the Legal Department staff to craft a memorandum of understanding (MOU) which will assist to better define what each partner’s role and ability within the program will entail.

Recommendation: Motion to approve partnership memorandum of understanding (MOU) related to the Assistance, Services, and Knowledge (A.S.K.) program.

E. Consider approving partnership memorandum of understanding (MOU) related to the McGill Reuse Project.

As staff continues to move forward with the McGill Avenue project, the need to complete a more formal agreement to better define role and expectations for partner participation in the project has become evident. Staff has worked with the Legal Department staff to craft a memorandum of understanding (MOU) which will assist to better define for both funders and the community what each partner’s role within the campus or overall project will generally entail.

Recommendation: Motion to approve partnership memorandum of understanding (MOU) related to the McGill Reuse Project.
