Department:Commissioner - Don Grantham

Background:The Commission appointed Stephen E. Shepard as County
Attorney on a month-to-month basis in 2006. The

Attorney's Office, the previous action of the Commission
should be modified.

month-to-month appointment. The Administrator expressly

appointment.

Department:Planning Commission
Caption:Z-06-01 - A request for concurrence with the Augusta-
Richmond County Planning Commission to APPROVE with
the conditions listed below a petition by Forum Development
Group, on behalf of Nixon Trusts and Roger Graham,
requesting a change of zoning from Zone R-1 (One-family
Residential) and Zone R-1A (One-family Residential) to
Zone B-1 (Neighborhood Business) with a Special Exception
to have a group of retail buildings which would exceed
15,000 gross square feet of area per Section 21-2 (a) of the
Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance for Augusta-Richmond
County affecting property located on the northeast corner of
the intersection of Walton Way Extension and Interstate 20
consisting of six land parcels totaling 44.8 acres. (Tax map
16 Parcels 55, 52.2, 52.1, 52, 51.1, and 51) DISTRICT 7 1.
There shall be no development or other encroachment in the
100 year floodplain except for connections to sewer lines if
necessary; 2. The only access to the property shall be a new
intersection on Walton Way Extension in the vicinity of
Hebron Court to be paid for by the developer of the subject
property. This intersection shall also provide access to the
apartment complex across Walton Way Extension. The
intersection shall be signalized and the cost of equipment and
installation shall be borne by the developer of the subject
property. If the new signalized intersection is determined not
to conform to the AASHTO standards, then the new zoning
classification shall revert back to the previous classification.
3. There shall be no access to Walton Way Extension except
at the new signalized intersection. If outparcels fronting on
Walton Way Extension are created there shall be no access
easements placed on plats and deed of such parcels. 4.
Illumination at the rear of the complex is a potential impact
that can be mitigated by the following: A fence, wall or solid
vegetative screen shall be located along the entire floodplain
at least six (6) feet above the elevation of any retaining wall
or fill at that location. For building walls facing the
floodplain on the creek side of the property, all building wall
lights shall be directed down the building, not outward; In the
rear parking area there shall be full cutoff lighting that does
not shine into the floodplain. 5. That the only development of
this property other than development allowed in the R-1 and
R-1A zones shall be an upscale shopping center consistent
with the concept plan in the file. If site plans for such
development are not presented within two years of approval
of the rezoning then the zoning of this property reverts to R-
1A. If development of the property does not begin within
three years of approval of the rezoning, then the zoning
classification reverts to R-1A;

Amendment to Soccer Park lease
Department:Recreation and Parks, Tom F. Beck, Jr., Director
Caption:Motion to approve the Fourth Amendment to the Lease at
Augusta Soccer Park between Augusta Arsenal Gunners
Soccer Club and Augusta, Ga.
Background:Augusta Soccer Park, owned by Augusta, Ga. and a facility
in the Recreation and Parks system, has been leased for
operations to the Augusta Arsenal Soccer Club since 1996.
The Soccer Club has done an outstanding job operating the
facility during this timeframe, and in 2005 all operations of
the park were turned over to the Soccer Club, including
maintenance, upkeep, repairs and payment of utilities. The
city made a $50,000 allocation of funds to the Soccer Club
for payment of these services.
Analysis:This amendment will continue the same arrangement as
described above, to allocate $50,000 to the Soccer Club,
which saves the Recreation and Parks Department valuable
personnel, fuel and repair costs estimated at over $20,000
annually.
Financial Impact:$50,000 allocation to the Soccer Club, which is a 2006
budgeted item.
Alternatives:1. Deny, placing all maintenance back to the Recreation and
Parks staff, which would place an additional burden on an
already understaffed maintenance division. 2. To approve.

2006 Action Plan
Department:Housing & Economic Development Department
Caption:Approve 2006 Annual Action Plan for Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG), Emergency Shelter
Grant (ESG), HOME Investment Partnerships and Housing
Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) Funds.
Background:On October 18, 2005, the Commission approved the 2006
Proposed Annual Action Plan. The Action Plan lists the
projects proposed for funding with Year 2006 CDBG,
HOME, ESG and HOPWA monies. As required by the
Consolidated Plan regulations, a summary of the 2006
proposed Action Plan was published in local newspapers and
the public was invited to provide comments on the Plan
during a 30-day period. The public comment period
commenced on November 3, 2005 and expired December 5,
2005. The department received eight (8) citizen comments.
The comments that were received, and the HED staff
responses, are summarized on the attached table. A summary
of the 2006 Proposed Annual Action Plan is also attached.
Analysis:Receiving public comments on the Action Plan is part of the
department’s Citizen Participation Plan and a way to
encourage citizen input into the City’s community and
economic development programs. Some of the individuals
and agencies that submitted comments requested additional
information about federal programs or expressed a concern
about specific issues, such as crime in the community.
Southside Community requested additional funding for a
project already in the 2006 Proposed Action Plan. Promise
Land CDC requested reconsideration of a request for funds
for housing counseling, and submitted a new proposal for
funding housing construction. Laney Walker Development
Corporation inquired about funding for Phase III of
Armstrong Galleria. Good Hope Social Services requested
additional funds for a summer program.
Financial Impact:The total amount of funds budgeted in the 2006 Action Plan
is $4,841,940. This represents the department’s best estimate
of expected funding from HUD. This amount is subject to
change depending on final Congressional appropriations for
HUD programs.
Alternatives:1. Accept public comments as information. 2. Consider
comments and revise budgeted amounts. It should be noted
that the addition of any new projects, or changing the funding
level of a project already in the Action Plan, has a direct
impact on other projects in the Plan. Funds added to one
project must be taken from one or more other projects in
order for the total budget to remain balanced.
Recommendation:The department recommends approval of the 2006 Annual
Action Plan as proposed. The projects in the Proposed Action
Plan address needs identified in the City’s Consolidated Plan,
were submitted to the department by the application deadline,
and have been through the established application screening
process.
Funds are
Available in the
Following
Accounts:
Funds are anticipated to be received from the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development around
March or April 2006.

TO: Irma Williams, Chairman of Citizen’s Advisory Committee
& Members of the Committee
Bobby Hankerson, Chairman, Administrative Services Committee
FROM: Paul DeCamp, Interim Director
Housing and Economic Development Department
SUBJECT: Comments on 2006 Proposed Annual Action Plan
DATE: December 9, 2005
CAPTION: Consider Citizen’s Comments received on the 2006 Proposed Annual Action Plan
BACKGROUND: On October 18, 2005, the Commission approved the 2006 Proposed Annual
Action Plan. The Action Plan lists the projects proposed for funding with Year 2006 CDBG,
HOME, ESG and HOPWA monies. As required by the Consolidated Plan regulations, a
summary of the 2006 proposed Action Plan was published in local newspapers and the public
was invited to provide comments on the Plan during a 30-day period. The public comment period
commenced on November 3, 2005 and expired December 5, 2005. The department received
eight (8) citizen comments. The comments that were received, and the HED staff responses, are
summarized on the attached table. A summary of the 2006 Proposed Annual Action Plan is also
attached.
ANALYSIS: Receiving public comments on the Action Plan is part of the department’s Citizen
Participation Plan and a way to encourage citizen input into the City’s community and economic
development programs.
Some of the individuals and agencies that submitted comments requested additional information
about federal programs or expressed a concern about specific issues, such as crime in the
community. Southside Community requested additional funding for a project already in the 2006
Proposed Action Plan. Promise Land CDC requested reconsideration of a request for funds for
housing counseling, and submitted a new proposal for funding housing construction. Laney
Walker Development Corporation inquired about funding for Phase III of Armstrong Galleria.
Good Hope Social Services requested additional funds for a summer program.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The total amount of funds budgeted in the 2006 Action Plan is
$4,841,940. This represents the department’s best estimate of expected funding from HUD. This
amount is subject to change depending on final Congressional appropriations for HUD programs.
ALTERNATIVES: The Citizens Advisory Committee has the option of accepting the public
comments as information, or recommending to the Augusta Commission changes in project
funding levels or the mix of projects included in the Action Plan. It should be noted that the
addition of any new projects, or changing the funding level of a project already in the Action
Plan, has a direct impact on other projects in the Plan. Funds added to one project must be taken
from one or more other projects in order for the total budget to remain balanced.
RECOMMENDATION: The department recommends approval of the 2006 Action Plan as
proposed. The projects in the Proposed Action Plan address needs identified in the City’s
Consolidated Plan, were submitted to the department by the application deadline, and have been
through the established application screening process.

Block Grant (CDBG) in the amount of $5,050.
Background:ARC Community Partnership for Children and Families was
approved for a CDBG grant for $5,050 as a part of the 2005
Action Plan. Because we are required to have a minimum of
a five-year lien on projects on which improvements are
made, the agency decided it did not want to encumber the
property.
Analysis:This property was gifted to the non-profit agency and
therefore they do not want any liens on it.
Financial Impact:$5,050 will be available to reprogrammed to another project.
Alternatives:1. Rescind grant.

Economic Development Ombudsman Program
Department:Housing & Economic Development Department
Caption:Approve Contract Extension with Prime Commercial
Properties, Inc., in the amount of $35,000, for the Economic
Development Ombudsman Program.
Background:The Economic Development Ombudsman Program was
established in 2004. Project consultants have performed a
variety of services to identify and assist existing and new
businesses in the city. Examples of services provided include
collaborating with existing economic development
organizations, meeting one-on-one with business owners and
developers, and conducting Economic Development
Workshops, Roundtables and Forums. Initially separate
contracts were awarded to Prime Commercial Properties, Inc.
and the HBA Group, Inc. to provide services under the
program. The principal objective of this "planning phase" of
the program was to improve collaboration among economic
development organizations and develop a coordinated
economic development strategy. On June 21, 2005 the
Augusta Commission authorized the continuation of the
Economic Development Ombudsman Program. Subsequently
a second contract was executed with Prime Commercial
Properties, Inc. for the implementation phase of the program.
Funding under this second contract is exhausted.
Analysis:Extension of the contract will enable Prime Commercial
Properties, Inc. to continue the implementation phase of the
Economic Development Ombudsman Program. The
implementation phase focuses on job creation and retention
activities A valuable resource has been established through
the Economic Development Ombudsman initiative for the
purposes of supporting comprehensive economic
development and community revitalization plans.
Financial Impact:Sufficient CDBG funds remain in the Economic
Development Ombudsman Program account to finance a
contract extension in the amount of $35,000. No
reprogramming of funds is necessary.
Alternatives:None recommended
Recommendation:Approve Contract Extension with Prime Properties, Inc., in
the amount of $35,000, for the Economic Development

Renewal of Subcontract for grant counselor
Department:Juvenile Court
Caption:Renewal of Subcontract for "The Counseling Group", Mrs.
Caffee Wright.
Background:Mrs. Caffee Wright is a masters level licensed professional
counselor,LPC, who is the only certified juvenile sex
offender counselor in the area. She has provided group sex
offender counseling for this court since 1999. She and her
staff have also provided in-home crisis counseling services to
families referred to the court as unruly and runaway in the
home. We continue to see an increase in both referrals for
juvenile sex offenders and unruly youth in our court. Both of
these issues have been effectively impacted by the services of
The Counseling Group.
Analysis:Due to the continued amount of referrals made to this court,
it is essential we renew this important service contract
provided by The Counseling Group for the youth of
Augusta/Richmond County.
Financial Impact:Most, if not all, of the funding will be provided by our
Purchase of Services grant of $5000. We have some
additional funding approved under Contract Labor in our
budget which may also be used. No additional funding is
being requested at this time
Alternatives:The alternative would be to have these juvenile sex offenders
and unruly children supervised in the community with out the
professional counseling services The Counseling Group
would be able to provide. All of the sex offenders have been
ordered to participate in a program to help them address
these important issues in their lives. Most of the unruly youth
are not getting the in-home family counseling which has
proved to impact them positively in the past.
Recommendation:I recommend the committee recommend approval of the sub-
contract to The Counseling Group so these important
services may continue.

$136,683.00 each (lowest bid offer on bid 05-146).
Background:The Augusta Public Services Department-Maintenance
Division requests the acquisition of 1 regenerative air street
sweeper to replace an older unit. The unit being replaced is
asset numbers 930368, a 1994 model with 102,696 miles and
12,515 hours. This equipment was evaluated in accordance
with the criteria in the Replacement Policy approved by the

consideration for replacement (please see the attached
evaluation). Augusta currently only has three of these type
sweepers in their fleet. These units are driven daily. The new
proposed unit is larger and will vacuum at a higher rate of
speed thereby increasing job productivity.
Analysis:Fleet Management submitted a request for bids through the
Procurement Department utilizing the Demand Star
electronic bid system which offers nationwide bid coverage.
The Procurement Department received quotes back from two
(2) vendors. Review of bids received shows that Tractor and
Equipment Company of Augusta, Georgia, submitted the
lowest bid at $136,683.00 each followed by Adams
Equipment Company which did not meet the bid
requirements.
Financial Impact:The unit will be purchased for $136,683.00. Funding for the
procurement of this equipment will be provided by the Public
Services-Maintenance Division. These funds were approved
in the Phase IV of the SPLOST, County Forces, and are

Reallocation of funds
Department:Public Services Department - Maintenance Division
Caption:Reallocate $900,000 from SPLOST Phase I, Future
Maintenance, to General Administration SPLOST
Operations, Phase IV for 2006.
Background:We have approximately $600,000 remaining in SPLOST,
Phase IV for this expense, while the annual budget allocation
needed is approximately $1.5 million.
Analysis:It is absolutely critical to the success of the Maintenance
Division that these employees be maintained. These 35
employees serve in every capacity ranging from truck drivers
to members of the administrative staff. Failure to approve the
reallocation will result in a reduction in force, as necessary
funds are not available in Phase IV.
Financial Impact:Reallocation of funds from Phase I to Phase IV, General
Administration SPLOST Operations.
Alternatives:1. Reallocate $900,000 from SPLOST, Phase I, Future
Maintenance, to General Administration SPLOST
Operations, Phase IV for 2006. 2. Absorb employees and
operating expenditures of $1.5 million into General Fund.
