PRESENTATION(S)
A. Augusta Tomorrow. RE: Augusta Tomorrow’s 2009 Master Plan.
Mr. Speaker: Thank y’all very much. I appreciate it, appreciate y’all ---
Mr. Mayor: If you could ---
Mr. Speaker: -- - having us here and I appreciate everything that the Commission and the
Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem and the City Administrator do to support the Master Plan for Augusta
and North Augusta.
Mr. Mayor: I hate to interrupt you but you need to, not that I don’t know you, but you
need to state your name for the record, please.
Mr. Boardman: Braye Boardman. I am the Chairman of the Master Plan Oversight
Committee. We have been working on the Master Plan for Augusta and North Augusta for about
the past year and a half. It was a public/private partnership with the City of Augusta and North
Augusta, 50% funded by the city public funds, 50% funded by private. And I’m here today to
ask for y’alls endorsement of the Master Plan process. The results of that Master Plan were
th
presented on February the 4 truly what I think is a historic day for the cities of Augusta and
North Augusta. Last night the North Augusta City Council overwhelmingly endorsed the Master
Plan as a tool to help guide them in their development of their sector of the plan. We’d ask for
1
the same for the city Commissioners today. And I have hopefully y’all got some background on
the highlights. Most of y’all know all about it so I won’t go through it with y’all but feel free to
ask any questions and I’ll do my best to answer.
Mr. Mayor: Commissioner Grantham.
Mr. Grantham:
Mr. Mayor, thank you and I think just a comment’s in order not a
question Mr. Boardman. But with the efforts that you and your committee and people have done
in making this a reality in the past and certainly looking forward to the future is what we see
needs to happen for the City of Augusta. And I’m really pleased to see the togetherness of our
neighboring cities and the people across the state line that have come forth and have made the
I put in the form of a
effort that y’all have made as well. So with that being said, Mr. Mayor,
motion that we adopt the policy that has been presented, the plan that’s been presented
and that we do that in a unanimous fashion.
Mr. Mason: Second.
Mr. Mayor: We have a motion and a second. If there’s no further discussion
Commissioners will now vote by the usual sign.
Motion carries 10-0.
Mr. Mayor: Thank y’all so much for all your hard work. And I think Augusta Tomorrow
and your efforts deserve a round of applause as well. (APPLAUSE)
Mr. Grantham: Mr. Mayor, I have another point of privilege if you don’t mind.
Mr. Mayor: Commissioner Grantham.
ADDENDUM
29. Motion to authorize the Administrator to seek an RFP and identify a funding source for
a proposed study of areas from the Gordon Highway to the County lines that were not
included in the Augusta Tomorrow Master Plan. (Requested by Commissioners Grantham
and Hatney)
Mr. Grantham:
Thank you and what has been presented to us today in the form of our
future we would like to offer an extension of that and say that this Commission needs to go on
record of supporting and to authorize our Administrator to seek RFP and to identify the funding
source as soon as possible for a proposed study for the remaining portion of our city and county.
And that would be in the south Augusta, west Augusta area. And by no means does this dilute
what has just been presented to us. But I think it would come in an effort of support and that we
. So I’m
need to do this to show that there is a greater Augusta and not just a downtown Augusta
putting that in a form of a motion as an addition to our agenda and I would like for that to
be put forth for approval to be put on the agenda so that we then can then vote the motion.
Mr. Mayor: Motion to add and approve.
2
Mr. Grantham: Add and approve.
Mr. Holland: Second.
Mr. Mayor: We have a motion and a second. I don’t see anybody with their hands up.
Mr. Grantham: Fred reminded me of a few things I needed to have said, I’m sure you
know this. But what we would like to do ---
Mr. Mayor: I was so excited I was ---
Mr. Grantham: --- to keep the continuity that we already have in place with the Augusta
Tomorrow with the consulting group that did the work for us there that we offer a negotiation
with them in order to continue the efforts based on the data and information that they presently
have and that we use that as a step to begin this process.
Mr. Mayor: And that firm being ICON?
Mr. Grantham: Exactly.
Mr. Mayor: Okay. Okay, we have a motion and a second. If there’s no further
discussion Commissioners will now vote by the usual sign.
Motion carries 10-0.
Mr. Mayor: That is a great next step I would say. Thank you, Commissioner Grantham.
The Clerk: Delegations?
Mr. Mayor: Delegations, yes, ma’am.

DELEGATIONS
B. Mr. Richard Dixon, Director Regional Police Academy. RE: Introduction of the
organization to the Commission.
Mr. Speaker: My name is Major Richard Dixon. I am the Director of the Police
Academy located in Blythe, Georgia. I first of all want to thank each of you for allowing me
here and I asked the Mayor if I could come and he said you’d be more than welcome and I do
thank you. First of all I won’t take a lot of your time and I won’t ask you for any money.
Mr. Mayor: We like you already.
3
Mr. Dixon: One of the reasons I wanted to come today is the organization POST, which
governs police work in the State of Georgia is moving rapidly and most of you are aware that
there is a police academy at the Augusta Technical College now. And there’s been some
confusion on what is what so I’m here to introduce my academy. We are the state academy.
We’ve been here since 1971. It was actually the first academy ever established in the State of
Georgia. Since 1971 we have put through over 4500 police officers you see on your streets
everyday from the surrounding 13-counties in the CSRA. We do our training in basic law
enforcement and basic jail. And this is an ongoing training day in and day out and never ceases.
We are a state run facility and a lot of people confuse us and think that we are part of the
Richmond County Sheriff’s Office, which we are not. This is a state run academy because every
officer must be state mandated before he’s allowed to go out and enforce the law. My staff and I
we have a staff of two, a Lieutenant and a Captain and I’m the Major out there. We have over
about 65/70-years of service in this area. I myself have been serving Augusta for over 18 years
first with the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office and then with the Police Academy. And all
three of us have been right here all of our lives. We take pride in what we do. We consider
ourselves the gatekeepers of law enforcement. In other words we try to weed out those who do
not need to be here, who do not need to be out here enforcing the law. And with that said when
an office does well we take great pride in it. And when one goes out and crosses the line we take
offense with it. We enforce, we teach and enforce ethics in all of our officers and we try to
preach it and hope they’ll carry it out over the course of their career. We’re not only governed
by POST, which is a Peace Officers Standard Training we also have an active advisory board.
Several members of the community are members of this board and they guide us and help us and
they’re very active and I appreciate them very much. And I want to end with this. First of all I’d
like to give an open invitation to any of you to come to the academy. And I have a program that
you can participate in. It’ll probably take 30 minutes of your day. It’s an interactive program
that you can get an idea of what some of your officers out on the street have to face daily in
making split decisions. And I would also like to finish if you have any questions and that’s it for
me, sir.
Mr. Mayor: Thank you, sir. Commissioner Jackson.
Mr. Jackson: Major Dixon, I just thank you and applaud you for your working with the
deputies and training the staff on the streets. Thank you.
Mr. Mayor: Thank you, sir.
The Clerk:
PRESENTATIONS
C. Mr. Richard Johnson/Clint Bryant. RE: Operation of nightclub business in Richmond
County.
Mr. Johnson: First of all I’d like to say good evening to all of you. My name is Richard
Johnson. I own and operate R.J’s Package Shop on Laney Walker Boulevard. I would just like
to bring you up to date on some of the things that are being done in these clubs that are creating
so much confusion. For the first thing a lot of them ought to have a state license. They wait ‘till
4
midnight to open up. They let teenagers in an enormous price and that is where a lot of your
trouble is coming from. I feel that all teenage clubs should be closed at 11 o’clock if you’re
really interested in the clubs. I think and I don’t know if you now have a committee that goes
out and sees what some of these clubs are doing whatever they’re doing on the inside. Just
because they have an officer on the outside doesn’t mean they are legal. Things going on in the
inside. Because if you hire an officer you tell him to patrol that lot and that’s what he does. But
if has the right to come in and see if there’s any illegal drugs, people sitting in there smoking
drugs any illegal activities that are going on period. And I think that you know you might need
to get together and think about sending someone in and taking these clubs out. I think that some
of them are going to Carolina and back, alcohol taking it back to their place selling it. So it’s just
a lot of things that are going on that I think you need to sit down and think about and not wait
until an incident happens to make, have to make a ruling on somebody. And that’s my opinion
and if there’s any way I can help any of you to foresee these things just give me a call. Thank
you.
Mr. Mayor: Thank you, sir.
Mr. Bryant: Mr. Mayor, I’m Clint Bryant and I’m a citizen of Augusta. I’m not in the
club business nor do I want to be in the club business. I’m here to support my friend Richard
Johnson who’s a close personal friend. And I just wanted to state that I know there’s been a lot
of publicity with your recent ruling of Club Platinum and have addressed that specific situation
but as I shared with the Mayor on a couple of occasions it does not address the problem. And I
don’t want to lose sight of this issue solely on making it an establishment issue. The problem
that we’re sitting on a time bomb and the problem is that the number of guns in our community
in the hands of teenagers and young adults. And would ask that this Commission give some
direction in conjunction with our law enforcement to come up with strategies that would get
thugs off the street and make our streets a safer place because we’re actually sitting on a time
bomb. Our clubs aren’t safe, the schools aren’t safe anywhere that these people go when they’re
armed the way that they’re armed. And I’m not talking about the minor arms. I’m talking about
the major stuff. So if there’s anyway this Commission can move in a direction with law
enforcement to ensure getting some of these guns off the street I think it would be a great service
to the people of Augusta. Thank you.
Mr. Mayor: Thank you, Coach. Commissioner Bowles.
Mr. Bowles: Coach, I know I spoke with your wife about this the other week at dinner.
And you know I don’t know what I can do as a Commissioner but I’ll volunteer as much time as
you need from me to help you in your endeavors and Mr. Johnson’s endeavors because it is a
serious problem but it’s going to take us to set up some sort of task force and come together as a
community, get churches involved and get as many people as we can involved and some
financing eventually down the road. Whether it’s a gun buy-back program or whatever we need
to look around and see what other communities have done to clean up the streets and I support
you 100%.
Mr. Bryant: Thank you.
5
Mr. Mayor: Thank you. Commissioner Johnson.
Mr. Johnson: Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Mr. Bryant, I definitely applaud you for taking the
effort. At the last meeting I did mention to the Sheriff about that. It’s not an establishment issue
it is a gun issue and along with Commissioner Bowles I have been advocating to do something
about this problem. I think it’s definitely a big epidemic in our community and in our city. It’s
disturbing to know that we have a high rate of gun sales even in the city of Augusta and people
don’t know about that. But I agree. I think that maybe we can form a committee of such and
maybe address this issue, work with the Sheriff. I’m pretty sure they’d be more than willing to
do so. But it is a big issue and we need to do something about it. I thank y’all for coming
forward and offering your support of that and I will be in touch with you soon on that.
Mr. Mayor: Thank you, Coach. Okay, Madam Clerk, on to the consent agenda.
The Clerk: Yes, sir, our consent agenda consists of items 1-22, items 1-22. Under our
Pubic Services portion of the agenda if there are any objectors to the following alcohol petitions

Casa Blanca Coffee Café located at 936 Broad Street.

The Clerk: Are there any objectors to those alcohol petitions?
Mr. Russell: None noted, Madam Clerk.
The Clerk: Mr. Mayor, our consent agenda consists of items 1-22.
Mr. Mayor: Thank you, ma’am, and do I have any items to be added to the consent
agenda?
Mr. Hatney: Twenty-six and seven.
Mr. Mayor: Commissioner Hatney?
Mr. Hatney: Twenty-six and seven.
Mr. Mayor: Twenty-six and twenty-seven? Commissioner Mason or Mr. Mayor Pro
Tem, did you?
Mr. Mason: Well, no, I was going to say twenty-six but on twenty-seven was he just
giving information or what exactly is going on there?
Mr. Mayor: Mr. Russell.
6
Mr. Russell: No, sir, what I need you to do today is approve the intergovernmental Sales
Tax Agreement between Augusta, Blythe and Hephzibah. That’s the next step in moving
forward with that. They would sign that. In addition to that I need you to approve the
authorization to negotiation the bond which are part of this particular program and agree to the
distribution on SPLOST Funds to Outside Agencies which we’ve talked about before and have
them enter into the lease/management agreement as we talked about before. And what we’d also
like to do is approve a bond counsel that would be working with our bonds as we do that.
Kilpatrick Stockton and his people we’ve talked to in relation to that and would like to approve
that with the caveat that we’re able to successfully negotiate a rate with them that’s appropriate
for the Commission.
Mr. Mayor: Okay, so adding it to the consent agenda with that motion attached, correct?
Mr. Russell: Okay. Commissioner Smith.
Mr. Smith: Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I’d like to add #23, 24, 25 and 26 to the consent
agenda.
Mr. Mayor: Twenty-six is already on there.
Mr. Smith: Already on there?
Mr. Mayor: Okay, thank you, sir. Commissioner Holland.
Mr. Holland: Thank you, Mr. Mayor. In reference to what Mr., what Fred was saying
just now in reference to this item #27. Do we have all of this information that he was speaking
of. Do we have it in writing?
Mr. Russell: Yes, sir, I’ve got the agreement here that I’d be happy to pass out.
Mr. Holland: Okay, thank you. I just wanted to know that.
Mr. Mayor: Okay. Commissioner Brigham.
Mr. Brigham: Mr. Mayor, I prefer to vote on items 23, 25 and 26. Twenty-three, 24 and
25.
The Clerk: Okay.
Mr. Mayor: Okay, we don’t have much else to add to the consent agenda. Do we have
Okay, hearing none I would look for a motion to

approve.
Mr. Jackson: So moved.
Mr. Holland: Second.
