Mr. Cheek: Can I make a motion that we take Items 1, 2, 4 and 5 as a consent
agenda?
Mr. Kuhlke: Okay.
Mr. Hankerson: Second.
Motion adopted unanimously.
3. Approve exceptions to the fleet vehicle policy for emergency on-call
personnel in the Traffic Engineering Section residing within five miles of the
Augusta Richmond County line.
Ms. Smith: We have seven technicians in the Traffic Engineering section and
four of them live outside Richmond County. Three live within five miles of the county
line and thl~y are on call about four days out of seven. The Sheriff s Department has
raised some concerns about response time and one of the things that impacts response
time is that the technicians have to go in to a location to pick up the on call vehicle and
1
then respond back to wherever the location is that has the problem. This change would
allow us to improve our response time because they cannot take a vehicle home if they
live outside the county.
Mr. Cheek: I don't have a problem with that so I make a motion to approve it.
Mr. Kuhlke: I'll second it to get it on the floor.
Mr. Hankerson expressed his concern about how this would affect other
departments.
Ms. Smith: The policy is already in place for other departments such as public
safety departments.
After further discussion, the motion failed with Mr. Hankerson voting No.
Mr. Smith: Could I make a clarification on Item 2? The source of the funds is
HOME money instead of CDBG funds.
Mr. Kolb: Okay. We'll make that change for Tuesday's meeting.
ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
