-Q,
RT]LE 1. PREAMBLE
These rules are promulgated pursuant to the inherent powers of the Supreme Court of
Georgia in order to provide for the speedy, efficient and inexpensive resolution of disputes and
prosecutions. It is not the intention, nor shall it be the effect, of these rules to conflict with the
Constitution or substantive law, either per se or in individual actions, and these rules shall be so
construed and in case of conflict shall yield to substantive law. It is not the intent of these rules,
nor shall these rules be construed, to require any municipal, recorders or any other court deemed
a municipal court, to become or remain a court of record or to employ the services of any
personnel, including solicitors or prosecuting attomeys, unless otherwise provided by general
law, charter or ordinance.
1.1. Repeal of Local Rules.
All local rules of the municipal courts shall expire effective February 3, 2010. If any
municipal court by action of a majority of its judges (or failing this, by action of its chief judge)
proposes to prevent any local rule from expiring pursuant to Rule 1.1, then a proposal to prevent
the local rule from expiring must be presented to the Court for approval 30 days prior to the
expiration date as stated in Rule 1.1. Only those rules reapproved by the Supreme Court of
Georgia on or after February 3, 2010, shall remain in effect after that date. Rules timely
resubmitted shall remain in effect until action by the Supreme Court of Georgia.

deviate from the Uniform Municipal Court Rules, provided such proposals are not inconsistent
with general laws, these Uniform Municipal Court Rules, or any directive of the Supreme Court
of Georgia. Any such proposals shall be filed with the clerk of the Supreme Court of Georgia;
proposals so submitted shall take effect thirty (30) days after approval by the Supreme Court of
Georgia. It is the intendment of these rules that rules which deviate from the Uniform Municipal
Court Rules be restricted in scope.
(c) The municipal court, by action of a majority of its judges (or failing this, by action of
its chief judge), may continue to promulgate rules which relate only to internal procedure and do
not affect the rights of any party substantially or materially, either to unreasonably delay or deny
such rights, and provided that those rules shall not conflict with these uniform rules. These rules,
which will be designated "internal operating procedures," do not require the approval of the
Supreme Court. "Internal operating procedures," as used in these Uniform Municipal Court
Rules, are defined as rules which relate to case management, administration, and operation of the
court or govern programs which relate to filing costs in civil actions, costs in criminal matters,
case management, administration, and operation of the court.

its judges (or failing this, by action of its chief judge), may promulgate experimental rules

local bar, with copies to the State Bar of Georgia, not to exceed a period of one year, subject to
extension for one additional year upon approval of the Supreme Court. At the end of the second
PAGE 3 OF 10
conference within ten (10) days of the filing of the notice of intention. In civil matters, the
discretion to allow testimony via video conference shall rest with the trial judge. In any criminal
matter, a timely objection shall be sustained; however, such objection shall act as a motion for
continuance and a waiver of any speedy trial demand.
(d) Recording of Hearings. A record of any proceedings conducted by video conference
shall be made in the same manner as all such similar proceedings not conducted by video
conference. However, upon the consent of all parties, that portion of the proceedings conducted
by video conference may be recorded by an audio-visual recording system and such recording
shall be part of the record of the case and transmitted to courts of appeal as if part of a transcript.
(e) Technical Standards. Any video-conferencing system utilized under this rule must
conform to the following minimum requirements:
1. All participants must be able to see, hear, and communicate with each other
simultaneously;
2. All participants must be able to see, hear, and otherwise observe any physical evidence
or exhibits presented during the proceeding, either by video, facsimile, or other method;
3. Video quality must be adequate to allow participants to observe each other's demeanor
and nonverbal communications; and
4. The location from which the trial judge is presiding shall be accessible to the public to
the same extent as such proceeding would if not conducted by video conference. The court shall
accommodate any request by interested parties to observe the entire proceeding.
RULE 16. ADMINISTRATION OF OATHS
A clerk of the municipal court may administer the oath and sign the jurat for affidavits,
including those in support of arrest warrants and search warrants. This rule shall not be
intelpreted as otherwise affecting the responsibilities of a judge in hearing applications for arrest

Whenever the hearing on the issuance of a search or arrest warrant is not recorded, the
judge shall make a written notation or memorandum of any oral testimony which is not included

by Public Services Committee January 30, 2018)
Background:The two incumbent airlines at AGS have been operating under an

years with two (2) one-year options for renewal. Both airlines

Delta Air Lines exercised their first option for renewal. American
Airlines did not exercise their first option for renewal due to the
merger between American and US Airways. Since American did
not exercise their option, they have been operating under the rates

both airlines on the same leasing schedule. Both airlines have
agreed to a new agreement with a five (5) year term. Airport and

Art Cart
Department:Recreation and Parks
Department:Recreation and Parks
Caption:Motion to approve placing the Art Cart in the rear of the Public
Defender’s Office at 902 Greene Street. (Approved by Public
Services Committee January 30, 2018)
Background:The Art Cart is a project that began in the fall of 2016 as an idea
discussed with Textron Specialized Vehicles Plant Manager,
Heather Meyer. Augusta is the Golf Car manufacturing capital of
the world, with 85% of all golf cars in the world made in Augusta.
Textron is interested in civic engagement, and while discussing
the then still in development RPG program that they later
launched as a school and work campus for at risk teens, the idea of
a stationary golf car that could serve as public seating, with a bike
rack in back, covered in original art, and perhaps with solar panels
to allow people to charge handheld devices was formed. The
purpose would be to highlight a major manufacturing asset of
Augusta that is not widely appreciated, while also adding a
whimsical yet useful fixture to the landscape of the city.
Analysis:This is a public art installation that is wanted by the city
department where it will be placed. The utilitarian piece, crafted
from the chassis of a golf cart, will serve as a shaded public
seating bench a bicycle rack and will feature a way-finding map
for downtown Augusta and a charging station for handheld
devices with energy provided by solar panels on the roof. The
surface of the chassis will be covered by the work of a local artist,
selected through a public call and awarded a cash stipend.
Financial Impact:
Alternatives:1 - Approve placement of the Art Cart where it has been requested

Cover Memo
Proposal to place the Art Cart at the Public Defender’s Office
Based on the recommendation of the Public Art Advisory Panel and the Greater Augusta Arts Council
Presented by the Department of Recreation and Parks
The Art Cart is a project that began in the fall of 2016 as an idea discussed with Textron Specialized
Vehicles Plant Manager, Heather Meyer. Augusta is the Golf Car manufacturing capital of the world,
with 85% of all golf cars in the world made in Augusta. Textron is interested in civic engagement, as
evidenced by the RPM program—a school and work campus for at risk teens that they launched in 2017.
Conversations with Ms. Meyer about Textron’s desire for more partnerships to enhance life in Augusta
led to the idea of the Art Cart, a stationary golf car that could serve as public seating, with a bike rack in
back, covered in original art, with solar panels to allow people to charge handheld devices. The purpose
would be to highlight a major manufacturing asset of Augusta, while also adding a whimsical yet useful
fixture to the landscape of the city.
In December 2016, the Public Defender’s Office contacted the Arts Council stating an interest in placing
public art inside their building as well as outdoors on their grounds.
Our original plan was to put out a call for artists to submit plans to transform a chassis into a bike rack.
At the first meeting between the Arts Council and the Textron team; however, their engineers expressed
interest in a project to tap into their creative side. This collaboration resulted in a prototype bike rack—
Textron tracked their time and cost, donation of the completed bike rack, along with the additional
amenities of the solar panels for mobile charging. They also made sure to include paying an artist to
paint what the engineering team created.
The Arts Council released a call for artists for the painting of the Art Cart in the summer of 2017, and a
member of the Public Defender’s Office was on the selection panel that reviewed the artwork
submissions. The winning entry was by the artist Richard T. Worth. Mr. Worth is a local artist who, in
his own words, “believes in creating realistic art that is easily understood. He is passionate about
keeping art alive in communities and schools. He strives to make his work interesting by creating work
with meaning that people can relate to. Richard loves to conceal images in his murals for people to find

Mr. Worth has created the artwork for the Art Cart, which will be transformed into a vinyl wrap by Keen
Signs and applied to the Art Cart.
Proposal to place the Art Cart at the Public Defender’s Office
Mr. Worth has entitled his piece “City of Stars” and in it he highlights local notables, James Brown,
Bobby Jones, Jessye Norman, and Butterfly McQueen, as well as the iconic Gertrude Herbert Institute of
Art building.
Originally, the CVB and DDA had stated interest in having the Art Cart placed on the bare concrete pad
in the center of Broad Street, but the Planning & Development Department felt that would not be a
good placement. It was then that the Public Defender’s Office stated an interest in having the Art Cart
placed on its campus.
Proposal to place the Art Cart at the Public Defender’s Office
The Public Defender’s Office initially requested the Art Cart be placed in a location that would be too
shady for the charging of the solar panels on top. We looked at a number of spots next to the PDO
building, and in the end they decided that a spot near the sidewalk, at the rear of the building, across
from the Main Branch of the Public Library, would be ideal.
There is five feet (5’) of clearance from the building to the cart,
and three and a half feet (3.5’) of clearance from the
landscaping plot, keeping it in accord with both Fire Safety and
ADA codes.
It is a space with long southern exposure for sunlight to charge
the solar panels.
Proposal to place the Art Cart at the Public Defender’s Office
This is a public art installation that is wanted by the city department where it will be placed. The
utilitarian piece, crafted from the chassis of a golf cart, will serve as a shaded public seating bench a
bicycle rack and will feature a way-finding map for downtown Augusta and a charging station for
handheld devices with energy provided by solar panels on the roof. The surface of the chassis will be
covered by the work of a local artist, selected through a public call and awarded a cash stipend.
We ask that the City approve placement of the Art Cart where it has been requested to be placed by the
Public Defender’s Office.
The Art Cart story, in summary:
Funded entirely by Textron Specialized Vehicles as a community service.
Placement is at request of the Public Defender’s Office.
Selection of the artwork was by jury panel that included Public Defender staff.
Showcases a major industry in Augusta, the manufacture of Golf Cars.
The artwork was created by a local artist.
Stationary installation.
Provides public seating, a bike rack, a charging outlet for handheld devices.
Beautiful artwork that highlights
o local notables: James Brown, Jessye Norman, Bobby Jones, Butterfly McQueen

Purple Heart City—Information Paper
The Purple Heart is a military decoration awarded to service members who were
wounded in war at the hands of the enemy, or were killed while representing the United
States in any battle. The Purple Heart medal was established by George Washington in
August 7, 1782; as a way to honor the enlisted soldiers. However, it was revived in 1932
by President Herbert Hoover. The medal is meant to be worn on the uniform of the
service member who earned it or displayed proudly by the deceased service members’
spouse or parents.
Military Order of the Purple Heart (MOPH) Mission:
The MOPH is a national organization. The group maintains a presence in
Washington, D.C., where its members lobby members of congress on issues
related to injured veterans. Currently here in Augusta there is the A. James
Dyess, Military Order of the Purple Heart Chapter 425 with 171 members and a
mission to foster an environment of goodwill among the combat-wounded
veteran members and their families, promote patriotism, support legislative
initiatives, and most importantly – make sure we never forget.
Process and Commitment:
The typical Purple Heart City process involves the Mayor and City
Commissioners performing a proclamation, which then is presented to the local
chapter of the MOPH. In turn, the organization arranges as many Purple Heart
recipients to attend the ceremony as possible. The MOPH also provides the city
a plaque commemorating the occasion and a Purple Heart Flag the city can fly,
particularly for National Purple Heart Day on August 7th.
Augusta can also recognize the sacrifice of Purple Heart recipients by displaying
Purple Heart City signs at each entry point into the city and place a Purple Heart
recipient reserve parking spot in front of all standalone city buildings.
End Statement:
Augusta being recognized as a Purple Heart City further affirms our commitment to
honoring the members of the armed services and acknowledging the sacrifices of those
wounded or killed in combat.

Laney Walker/Bethlehem Revitalization Project_2018 Contract Process
Department:Housing and Community Development
Department:Housing and Community Development
Caption:Motion to approve Housing and Community Development
Department’s (HCD's) procedural process relative to
agreements/contracts/task orders for the Laney Walker/Bethlehem
Revitalization Project (for calendar year 2018). (Approved by
Administrative Services Committee January 30, 2018)
Background:Laney Walker/Bethlehem Revitalization Project Background: In
2008, the Augusta Commission passed legislation supporting
community development in Laney Walker/Bethlehem. Since that
time, the Augusta Housing & Community Development
Department has developed a master plan and development
guidelines for the area, set up financial incentive programs for
developers and home buyers, selected a team of development
partners to focus on catalytic change, and created a marketing
strategy to promote the overall effort. The day to day management
of the Laney Walker/Bethlehem Revitalization Project requires
that the Housing and Community Development Dept. (HCD) have
the ability to make deliberate, but timely, decisions to keep this
project moving. If the approval of each construction contract
required Commission approval, it would be extremely difficult to
meet the respective timelines established by the purchase
agreement. In addition, a Commission approval requirement
would require public disclosure of the purchaser’s name which
could significantly chill sales. Failure to make decisions on the
selection of approved builders, architects, engineer, etc. affects
our ability to initiate the construction start of new projects, impact
the cost of construction interest on each project during the
construction period, and directly impacts our ability to place new
homes under contract and close on the sale of homes in a timely
manner. To facilitate the execution of agreements/contracts/task
orders with builders, developers, architects, etc. that have been
approved through the City’s Procurement Department, we are
proposing for the calendar year 2018 the following: Housing and
Community Development Dept.'s (HCD's) procedural process for
the use of Laney Walker-Bethlehem Revitalization Project funds
Cover Memo
enable the Mayor, Administrator and HCD Director to execute all
contracts, agreements and task orders required to develop single-
family/multi-family residences for sale/rent/other within the limits
of the budget approved by the Urban Redevelopment Agency. The
disposition of any land for use other than residential would need
the consent of the Augusta-Richmond County Commission via
legal session.
Analysis:Approval of the proposed procedural process will enable
continued redevelopment of the Laney Walker/Bethlehem
neighborhoods in a timely manner and allow HCD, through
partnerships, to keep pace with market demands.
Financial Impact:Not Applicable
Alternatives:Do not approve the current HCD Laney Walker/Bethlehem
Revitalization Project agreement/contract/task order procedural
process as presented.
Recommendation:Approve procedural process relative to the authorization of the
Laney Walker-Bethlehem Revitalization Project funds to enable
the Mayor, Administrator and HCD Director to execute all
contracts, agreements and task orders required to develop single-
family/multi-family residences for sale/rental/other, noting that the
disposition of any land for use other than residential would require
the consent of the Augusta-Richmond County Commission via

Caption:Motion to approve entering into a contract with University Health
Care System- Occupational Health to provide Baseline Annual &
Pre-Employment Medical Exams and authorize the Mayor to
execute the contract. (Approved by Public Safety Committee
January 30, 2018)
Background:Suppression and uniform personnel must undergo rigorous testing
in order to qualify for employment and must maintain a high level
of physical and mental fitness. Job requirements are unique to the
fire service and job stresses are constant. Suppression and uniform
personnel have a need for a wide spectrum of medical services
that must be provided by professionals acquainted with the duties,
working conditions, mental and physical demands of the job, as
well as the hours and expectations associated with the position of
preventative and emergency medical. Our previous contract
expired 12/31/2017.

NFPA Standards on Comprehensive Occupational Medical
Programs to provide cost effective investment in the early
detection, disease prevention, and health promotion of firefighters;
detect changes in health that may be related to harmful working
conditions; provide information about occupational hazards and
current health; to insure that a candidate for employment meets all
medial and physical requirements for employment; and to comply
with federal, state, and local requirements.
Financial Impact:The financial impact of the Contract for the first 3 years will be

Case Management System for Superior and Juvenile Courts

Department:Superior Court; Juvenile Court; and Information Technology
Caption:Motion to approve Sole Source Contract with ICON Software
Incorporated for Contract to implement ICON CMS360 Case
Management for Superior and Juvenile Court. (Approved by
Public Safety Committee January 30, 2018)
Background:The Information Technology Department (I.T.) in conjunction
with the Augusta Judicial Circuit and the Juvenile Court has
determined the need to replace an application developed by I.T.
for Court Case Calendaring. The District Attorney’s (DA) Office
will be transitioning to the Prosecuting Attorney Council (PAC) of
Georgia’s Tracker application in early 2018. The in-house
calendaring application developed by I.T. will no longer be
viable. As the PAC does not allow any case information to be
shared with non-prosecutors such as court case managers, the
Superior and Juvenile Courts must procure their own court case
management System.
Analysis:The Augusta Judicial Circuit is requesting the purchase of
CMS360 Case Manager from Icon Software, Inc. CMS360 Case
Manager will replace the in-house calendaring application used by
the Superior Court and Juvenile Court Case Managers. CMS Case
Manager is a module of ICON CMS360, the application that is
used by the Clerk of Superior and State Court as well as the Clerk
of Civil and Magistrate Court for all legal recordings in Richmond
County. In addition, Icon CMS 360 is used throughout the
Augusta Judicial Circuit with the Clerk of Courts for Burke and
Columbia County. ICON CMS 360 will integrate with the three
circuit’s Court Management System to provide detailed case
information for the Case Managers. ICON is also authorized by
PAC to transmit case status changes to Tracker; thus the DA’s
office will be kept abreast of changes in case statuses and dates.
This is an important feature of the current in-house application
and must be included in any replacement. The purchase of this
software suite is in alignment with the Information Technology
Cover Memo
Strategic Initiative; Consolidation and optimization of software
applications systems for improved efficiencies and the support of
standardization.
Financial Impact:The total cost of the implementation and licensing is estimated at
$28,000. SPLOST VI funds, Software Application Consolidation

Department:Environmental Services
Caption:Motion to approve the Award of RFP 17-246: Solid Waste
Planning Services, Solid Waste Management Plan Update to
Geosyntec Consultants. (Approved by Engineering Services
Committee January 30, 2018)
Background:The Environmental services Department placed a Request for
Proposals for the update to the Solid Waste Management
Plan. The current plan was completed in 2008, and is considered a
10-year document, expiring in 2018. As such, the document is out
of date and due for considerable updating. The SWMP contains an
analysis of five core planning elements which shall be preceded
by a waste stream analysis. The five core elements are: waste
reduction, collection, disposal, land limitations, education and
public involvement. These elements describe the collection
systems and disposal capabilities; enumerate the solid waste
handling facilities in the area; and serve to identify those areas
which are not suitable for solid waste handling facilities due to
environmental and land use factors.
Analysis:RFP 17-246 received responses from 7 vendors. Each compliant
response was scored per the designated RFP scoring sheet
provided by the Procurement Department. Once the content of
each proposal was scored, the cost proposals were then evaluated
and accounted for in the overall scoring. Geosyntec Consultants
was the highest scoring compliant vendor. As such, it is the
recommendation of ESD that Geosyntec be awarded the project.
Financial Impact:The total cost of the project is $166,727; and will be paid from
funds allocated in ESD budget 542044110/5213119.
Alternatives:1. do not award the project. 2. award the project to Geosyntec and
allow the needed update to the plan.Cover Memo

Approve the Increase of Fees Charged for Vacant Lot Cutting Services for 2018
Department:Environmental Service
Department:Environmental Service
Caption:Motion to approve having a comprehensive study with discussion
among the Administrator or her designee as chairman, the
Environmental Services Department, the Marshal's Office, and
Planning & Development Department regarding Litter Control
Ordinance in association with the proposed increase of fees
charged for Vacant Lot Cutting Services for 2018. (Approved by
Engineering Services Committee January 30, 2018)
Background:The Environmental Services Department has been inspecting and
providing the cutting services for vacant lots since 2012. The fees
for this service were set at that time, and have not increased. The
current fees for lot cutting are a $20 Administrative fee, $50 per
hour for contractor services, and/or $50 per hour for an inmate
crew. It is recommended at this time for the fees to be increased to
$50 Administrative fee per job per property; and $250 per hour for
contractor services or inmate crew services. This recommendation
was discussed at the October 10th Engineering Services meeting,
but ESD felt it prudent to bring this item back to the body for
specific approval.
Analysis:The cutting and cleaning of vacant lots is an ongoing issue for
Augusta. ESD provides cutting and cleaning services to
approximately 3000 lots per year (some are cut more than once);
however there are so many more that still need to be cut. With the
$20/$50 rate structure; and the fact that most of the lots take less
than one hour to cut, the current fees are not a deterrent – some
property owners are willing to allow Augusta to provide this
service instead of making the effort to find someone to care for
their property.
Financial Impact:There is no additional cost to the Department at this time.
Alternatives:1. Do not allow the adjustment of the fees. 2. Allow the fee

adjustment.
Recommendation:Increase the vacant lot fees to $50 administrative fee per job and
$250 per hour for contract services and inmate crew services
starting January 1, 2018.
