I
Presentation on status of Y2K updates.
Nil". Oliver: Zerox came in and did a study as it relates to our total needs. The
good news is that the traffic lights will operate and the utility system will work.
Obviously we are dependant upon people like Georgia Power, Bell South, all the utility
. companies. We have three or four things from a public safety standpoint aren't criticaL
but from our standpoint are. !vir. Rushton has a contingency plan on the things that we
are still working on, except one, but we believe that one will be done well in advance of
the end of the year. The focal point for the contingency plan will be the EMA Director as
it relates to backup. Our biggest concern is that we get a significant number of calls to
the 911 Center on New Years eve. The hospital also expressed the same concern as it
relates to telephone lines. So what we want to do is set up an inforrnationalline so that
people can call and we'll probably use the Citizen Response number to do that.
At this time !vir. Rushton presented the Y2K update.
Mr. Kuhlke: So move to receive as information.
Mr. Shepard: Second.
Motion carried unanimously.
I
A request to approve agreement between Augusta and CSRA Probation Services,
Inc. for CSRA Probation Services to recover payment or reimbursement from
indigent defendants who have received legal assistance in exchange for
compensation to CSR.-\ Probation of 35% of all monies collected.
Mr. Kahlke: Move approval.
Ivil". Shepard: Second.
Motion carried unanimously.
A request to approve selection of an architectural firm to provide design services for
the Medical Unit at the Richmond County Correctional Institution.
lvil". Acree: We sent out RFP's to provide architectural design services for RCCI.
We received three proposals and based on qualifications Precision Planning was the best
qualified and also the best proposal. The work will be done around some doctor's offices
and examination rooms. The cost will be $18,200 and we recommend approval.
Mr. Shepard: So move.
lv1r. Kuhlke: Second.
