ABSENT: Hon. Sims, Co-Chairman.
Also Present: Hons. Grantham and Mays, Commissioners.
1. Approve Purchase of Services and Equipment for the upgrade of the existing
Financial, Human Resources and Procurement Software.
Ms. Beard: I so move.
Mr. Boyles: I'll second that.
Motion adopted unanimously.
2.
Consider a request from Empire Tree and Turf for a waiver and indemnity
of Augusta Richmond County regarding the construction of a garage on
property located at 2686 Gordon Highway.
Dep. Chief James: Normally we would deny them building this structure since
there is no water nearby for fire suppression purposes. The owner is asking the .
commission to allow him to build the building anyway.
Mr. Mayor: I would suggest that if you desire to grant these exemptions that you
amend the ordinance to provide for waivers that could be done administratively by the
Chief. I don't think we have the legal authority to waive an ordinance.
Mr. Grantham: I think we have done this type of thing in the past
Ms. Turner: About 20 months ago the Fire Department disapproved a plan for
James Newman for a construction office near this location. We have been contacted by
his attorney and this project is still open. Mr. Patty was concerned about what kind of
problems we may bring upon ourselves if we disapprove one and approve another.
After a discussion, Mr. Boyles: I'd like to make a motion that we deny this and
ask the Administrator to get with the Utilities Department and check on the time schedule
for running water and sewer lines in that area and let him report back to us.
Ms. Beard: Second.
Motion adopted unanimously.
3.
Update/status report from Ambulance Service Committee regarding the
Request for Proposals (RFP).

After a short discussion, Mr. Boyles: I move that we hold this in committee and
discuss it at another time.
Ms. Beard: Second.
Motion adopted unanimously.
ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
