RE: New Contract Rates
Dear Ms. Downs:
Bateman Community Living ("Bateman") provides meals and other related services to
Central Savannah River ARC under a 2016 contract between the parties effective July 5,
2016 (the "Agreement"). Following a meeting in December 2016 with Jeannette
Cummings, Director of the Central Savannah River ARC, at which certain meal
projection shortfalls were discussed, Bateman's Manager, Bob Santana, provided a
letter dated Jan. 12,2017, requesting a 4.22% rate adjustment, based on budgeted meal
shortfalls. Effective February 1,2017, the new rate for meals provided by Bateman
under the Agreement will be $4.45 per meal.
The parties agree that, except as modified herein, the contract terms remain the same.
This document, with the signature line below, will constitute as an amendment to the
original contract. I am enclosing two copies of this letter for you to sign, accepting the
rateincrease.Pleasekeeponeforyourrecordsand
to our office.
Thank you for allowing us to continue to be of service to Augusta/Richmond County.
Please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Litter Ordinance Amendments
Department:Planning & Development
Department:Planning & Development
Caption:Motion to approve amendments to the Augusta, Georgia Code,
Title 4, Chapter 2, Article 2, Litter Control, Section 4-2-9
Littering Streets and Sidewalks Prohibited so as to provide
regulations prohibiting the placing of posters, signs and
advertisements on any public property; and delete the section
titled ‘Tiered Fee Schedule’. (Approved by
Augusta Commission on June 5, 2018 - second reading)
Background:At the March 21, 2017 Commission meeting, the Administrator
presented recommendations for addressing additional code
enforcement, property maintenance and cleanups, illegal
dumping, and anti-littering efforts. Approval was given to move
forward with the efforts. At the August 15, 2017 Commission
meeting, amendments to the litter ordinance were approved to
prohibit the placing of posters, signs, etc. on the public right-of-
way, and the amendments included a tiered fee schedule for
violating the ordinance. At the January 30, 2018 Commission
meeting the application of the litter ordinance was discussed and
it was determined that the ordinance was not functioning the
way it was intended. The Planning & Development Department
and the Marshal’s Office were directed to review the ordinance
and present an amended version to address the concerns.
Analysis:The litter ordinance as it was amended to include the tiered fee
schedule is not functioning as intended, and is actually
complicating the enforcement of the litter ordinance as it applies
to posters, signs and advertisements placed in the right-of-way....
The proposed ordinance amendments will streamline the
enforcement process.

Whereas, secondhand smoke kills approximately 1,500 Georgia citizens every year; and
Whereas, 21% of adults in Augusta still exposed to secondhand smoke at work; and
Whereas, Richmond County ranks 124 out of 159 Georgia counties in health; and
Whereas, according to the Economic Impact Evaluation of the 2010 Savannah Smoke-
Free Air Ordinance by the Chronic Disease, Healthy Behavior and Injury Epidemiology
Section and the Georgia Tobacco Use Prevention Program of the Georgia Department of
Public Health, there was a 94% decrease in indoor air pollution after 1 year and no
impact on taxable sales revenue for bars and full-service restaurants after adjusting for
time, seasonality, etc; and
Whereas, the 2006 U.S. Surgeon General's Report, the Health Consequences of
Involuntary Exposure to Tobacco Smoke, has concluded that: (1) secondhand smoke
exposure causes disease and premature death in children and adults who do not smoke;
(2) children exposed to secondhand smoke are at an increased risk for sudden infant death
syndrome (SIDS), acute respiratory problems, ear infections, and asthma attacks, and that
smoking by parents causes respiratory symptoms and slows lung growth in their children;
(3) exposure of adults to secondhand smoke has immediate adverse effects on the
cardiovascular system and causes coronary heart disease and lung cancer; (4) there is no
risk-free level of exposure to secondhand smoke; (5) establishing smokefree workplaces
is the only effective way to ensure that secondhand smoke exposure does not occur in the
workplace, because ventilation and other air cleaning technologies cannot completely
control for exposure of nonsmokers to secondhand smoke; and (6) evidence from peer-
reviewed studies shows that smokefree policies and laws do not have an adverse
economic impact on the hospitality industry; and
Page 2 of 20
Whereas, according to the 2010 U.S. Surgeon General's Report, How Tobacco Smoke
Causes Disease, even occasional exposure to secondhand smoke is harmful and low
levels of exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke lead to a rapid and sharp increase in
dysfunction and inflammation of the lining of the blood vessels, which are implicated in
heart attacks and stroke; and
Whereas, numerous studies have found that tobacco smoke is a major contributor to
indoor air pollution, and that breathing secondhand smoke (also known as environmental
tobacco smoke) is a cause of disease in healthy nonsmokers, including heart disease,
stroke, respiratory disease, and lung cancer. The National Cancer Institute determined in
1999 that secondhand smoke is responsible for the early deaths of approximately 53,000
Americans annually; and
Whereas, The Public Health Service’s National Toxicology Program (NTP) has listed
secondhand smoke as a known carcinogen; and
Whereas, there is indisputable evidence that implementing 100% smoke-free
environments is the only effective way to protect the population from the harmful effects
of exposure to secondhand smoke; and
Whereas, in reviewing 11 studies concluding that communities see an immediate
reduction in heart attack admissions after the implementation of comprehensive
smokefree laws, the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies concluded that data
consistently demonstrate that secondhand smoke exposure increases the risk of coronary
heart disease and heart attacks and that smokefree laws reduce heart attacks, and
Whereas, a significant amount of secondhand smoke exposure occurs in the workplace.
Employees who work in smoke-filled businesses suffer a 25-50% higher risk of heart
attack and higher rates of death from cardiovascular disease and cancer, as well as
increased acute respiratory disease and measurable decrease in lung function; and
Whereas, secondhand smoke is particularly hazardous to elderly people, individuals with
cardiovascular disease, and individuals with impaired respiratory function, including
asthmatics and those with obstructive airway disease. The Americans With Disabilities
Act, which requires that disabled persons have access to public places and workplaces,
deems impaired respiratory function to be a disability; and
Whereas, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has determined that the
risk of acute myocardial infarction and coronary heart disease associated with exposure to
tobacco smoke is non-linear at low doses, increasing rapidly with relatively small doses
such as those received from secondhand smoke or actively smoking one or two cigarettes
a day, and has warned that all patients at increased risk of coronary heart disease or with
known coronary artery disease should avoid all indoor environments that permit
smoking; and
Page 3 of 20
Whereas, unregulated high-tech smoking devices, commonly referred to as electronic
cigarettes, or “e- cigarettes,” closely resemble and purposefully mimic the act of smoking
by having users inhale vaporized liquid nicotine created by heat through an electronic
ignition system. After testing a number of electronic cigarettes from two leading
manufacturers, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) determined that various
samples tested contained not only nicotine but also detectable levels of known
carcinogens and toxic chemicals, including tobacco-specific nitrosamines and diethylene
glycol, a toxic chemical used in antifreeze. The FDA’s testing also suggested that
“quality control processes used to manufacture these products are inconsistent or non-
existent.” According to a more recent study, electronic cigarette emissions are made up of
a high concentration of ultrafine particles, and the particle concentration is higher than in
conventional tobacco cigarette smoke. Electronic cigarettes produce an aerosol or vapor
of undetermined and potentially harmful substances, which may appear similar to the
smoke emitted by traditional tobacco products. Their use in workplaces and public
places where smoking of traditional tobacco products is prohibited creates concern and
confusion and leads to difficulties in enforcing the smoking prohibitions. The World
Health Organization (WHO) recommends that electronic smoking devices not be used
indoors, especially in smokefree environments, in order to minimize the risk to
bystanders of breathing in the aerosol emitted by the devices and to avoid undermining
the enforcement of smokefree laws; and
Whereas, the Society of Actuaries has determined that secondhand smoke costs the U.S.
economy roughly $10 billion a year: $5 billion in estimated medical costs associated with
secondhand smoke exposure and $4.6 billion in lost productivity, and
Whereas, numerous economic analyses examining restaurant and hotel receipts and
controlling for economic variables have shown either no difference or a positive
economic impact after enactment of laws requiring workplaces to be smokefree. Creation
of smokefree workplaces is sound economic policy and provides the maximum level of
employee health and safety; and
Whereas, there is no legal or constitutional “right to smoke.” Business owners have no
legal or constitutional right to expose their employees and customers to the toxic
chemicals in secondhand smoke. On the contrary, employers have a common law duty to
provide their workers with a workplace that is not unreasonably dangerous, and
Whereas, smoking is a potential cause of fires; cigarette and cigar burns and ash stains on
merchandise and fixtures causes economic damage to businesses; and
Whereas, the smoking of tobacco, hookahs, or marijuana and the use of electronic
cigarettes are forms of air pollution and constitute both a danger to health and a material
public nuisance; and
Page 4 of 20
Accordingly, the Augusta, Georgia consolidated government finds and declares that the
purposes of this ordinance are (1) to protect the public health and welfare by prohibiting
smoking in certain public places and places of employment; and (2) to guarantee the right
of nonsmokers to breathe smokefree air, and to recognize that the need to breathe
smokefree air shall have priority over the desire to smoke.

Resolution of Support - EEO Policy Statment
Department:Compliance Department - EEO Division
Department:Compliance Department - EEO Division
Caption:Motion to approve Resolution of Support for the expansion of
Augusta, Georgia's EEO Policy so as to prohibit discrimination
based on gender, gender expression, gender identity, and sexual
orientation. (Approved by Administrative Services
Committee June 12, 2018)
Background:The Administrative Services PPPM Subcommittee agreed to
include additional inclusion language to the EEO Policy
Statement of the Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual.
The inclusion language will expand the existing EEO policy
statement so as to prohibit discrimination based on gender,
gender expression, gender identity, and sexual orientation. These
additional four (4) protections are to be included in the
permanent language of future EEO policies approved by the
Commission.
Analysis:In concert with federal and case law, there is a legal basis for
local government regulation prohibiting gender stereotyping.
Based on U.S. Supreme Court decisions,gender stereotyping
such as sexual orientation and gender identity, although not
explicitly listed as protected classes, are characteristics that can
constitute sex discrimination and harassment. The EEOC
interprets and enforces Title VII prohibition of sex
discrimination as forbidding any employment discrimination
based on gender identity or sexual orientation.
Financial Impact:The revision of Augusta Georgia's EEO Policy to include the
prohibitions of sex discrimination by further defining gender
stereotyping is a statement of employment inclusion. Including
the four (4) additional characteristics is a commitment to equal
employment practices for all qualified applicants and employees.
At this point, there is no financial impact for the adoption of the
Resolution of Support to add additional characteristics to the
Cover Memo
current EEO Policy Statement. Future financial impacts -
increasing awareness of prohibited acts of discrimination and
providing clarification of gender stereotyping could reduce the
risk of adverse findings of sex discrimination and harassment.
Alternatives:Decline to approve the Resolution of support at this time.
Recommendation:To approve the Resolution of Support to expand the current EEO
Policy Statement to prohibit gender stereotyping with respect to
gender, gender expression, gender identity, and sexual
orientation.

components of the criminal justice system.
Overview ofthe State ofGeorgia's Accountabilitv Court Funding prosram
The Council of Accountability Court of Judge (CACI) was created in 2015 by the Georgia Legislature and
by Governor Nathan Deal to provide courts with the critical funding necessary to support the growth of
Accountability Courts in Georgia to reduce the prison population.
How to Applv
lnterested applicants should review the FY'19 Solicitation Packet in its entirety, and submit the
completed application, including the requested information and all required attachments, using the link
on the Council's website at cicc.seorsia.qov on or before 5 p.m., March 23, 2018. This form and provided

requ,red format; scanned or handwritten copies of the application will not be accepted. The CACJ will
host an FY19 lnstructional grant webinar on Thursday, March 1, 2018; lnterested appllcants are
encouraged to participate. Any application that does not adequately answer all applicable questions will
be considered incomplete and will not be reviewed for fundin6.
Match Reguirement {10 percent CASH match]
Applicants must identify the source of the 10 percent non-state portion of the total project costs a nd
how they will use match funds. Match is restricted to the same uses of funds as a llowed for the state
funds. Applicants may satisfy this match requirement with cash only (no in-kind services).
Mdtch wdiver: Ihe CACJ may waive the match requirement upon a determination of fiscal hardship. To
be considered for a waiver of match, a letter of request signed by the Authorized Representati\re or
Program Judge must be submitted wlth the grant application fflning th€ fisol hardship. Fiscal hardship is
defined in terms related to reductions in overall budgets, furloughing or reductions in force of staff or
other similar documented actions by the local governing authority which have resulted in severe budget
reductions. A match waiver request must be submitted as a separate attachment to the application and
titled as the "Motch Woiver."
NOTE: You do NOT need to match every item you are requesting, but must supply a 10% match in the
overall budget request. The match must be from one of the allowable categories.

NAII.IAN DEAL
GOVERNOR
JAY NEAL
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Applications for funding will undergo several reviews. At any point during these reviews, a decision not
to fund a project or any part thereof may be made. These decisions are within the complete discretion
of the CACI Funding Committee.
Fundlns Decisions
Allfunding decisions related to CJCC applications received in response to this solicitation are made by
the CACJ Funding Committee and are based on the availability of funding. The Council will inform the
applicants of funding decisions through grant awards. Applicants should not make assumptions
regarding funding decisions until they have received official written notification of awards or denials
signed by the CICC Council Director,
Once an award is made, the CACI in conjunction with CjCC, maintains discretion to determine that a
Srantee is not compliant with applicable policies, and upon such a determination may terminate further
funding and require reimbursement of grant funds to the CACJ.
Restrictions on Use ofFunds
For this grant period, grant fu nds will not be allowed to be used for: out of state training, any part of a
salary or pay supplements for stete or county paid employees, office space, utilities, furniture (existing
courts only), incentives, monthly cell phone charges, case management software (including
maintenance and upgrades), vehicles, weapons, office supplies (existing courts only), construction
projects and grant administrative overhead.
Supplantation
Funds must be used to supplement existing funds for pro8ram activities and cannot replace or supplant
funds that have been appropriated for the same purpose
Generally, supplanting occurs when a Iocal government or program reduces local or other available
funds for an activity specifically because state funds are available (or expected to be available) to fund
that same activity. When supplanting is not permitted, any State grant funds may not replace any local,
or other available funds that have been appropriated or allocated for the same purpose. ln those

These Purchasing Terms and Conditions, together with the Equipment Proposal and all attachments (collectively, the
“Agreement”) are entered into by and between Ten-8 Fire & Safety Equipment of Georgia, LLC, a Georgia corporation
(“Company”) and Customer (as defined in Ten-8 Fire & Safety Equipment of Georgia, LLC’s Equipment Proposal
document) and is effective as of the date specified in Section 3 of these Purchasing Terms and Conditions. Both
Company and Customer may be referred throughout this document individually as a “party” or collectively as the
“parties.”
1. Definitions.
a. “Acceptance” has the same meaning set forth in Company’s Equipment Proposal.
b. “Company’s Equipment Proposal” means the Equipment Proposal provided by Company and prepared in
response to Augusta, Georgia’s request for RFP 18-147 Mobile Equipment Operations Center.
c. “Cooperative Purchasing Contract” means an Agreement between Company and a public authority,
including without limitation, a department, division, agency of a municipal, county or state government
(“Public Authority”), that adopts or participates in an existing agreement between Company and another non-
party customer (including, but not limited to such non-party customer’s equipment proposal, its applicable
exhibits, attachments and purchasing terms and conditions), often referred to as a “piggyback arrangement,”
which is expressly agreed to, in writing, by Company. Company has sole discretion to determine whether it
will agree to such a Cooperative Purchasing Contract.
d. “Delivery” means when Company delivers physical possession of the Product to Customer.
e. “Manufacturer” means the Manufacturer of any Product.
f. “Prepayment Discount” means the prepayment discounts, if any, specified in Company’s Equipment
Proposal.
g. “Product” means the fire apparatus and any associated equipment, or ambulance manufactured or furnished
for Customer by Company pursuant to the Specifications.
h. “Purchasing Terms and Conditions” means these Purchasing Terms and Conditions; however, if the
Company’s Equipment Proposal or the Customer’s related Purchase Order states that it is governed by a
Cooperative Purchasing Agreement, “Purchasing Terms and Conditions” shall mean those terms and
conditions set forth in the applicable Cooperative Purchasing Agreement.
i. “Specifications” means the general specifications, technical specifications, training, and testing
requirements for the Product contained in Company’s Equipment Proposal and its Exhibit A (Proposal Option
List or for ambulance sales, the Quotation, or Order Form, as applicable), prepared in response and shall
include Customer’s request for proposal.
2. Purpose. This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of Company’s sale of the Product to Customer.
3. Term of Agreement. This Agreement will become effective on the date of Acceptance as defined in Company’s
Equipment Proposal (“Effective Date”) and, unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, it
will terminate upon Delivery and payment in full of the Purchase Price.
4. Purchase and Payment. Customer agrees to pay Company the Purchase Price for the Product(s) as set forth in
Company’s Equipment Proposal (“Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price is in U.S. dollars. Where Customer opts
for a Prepayment Discount that specifies that Customer will tender one or more prepayments to Company,
Customer must provide each prepayment within the time frame specified in the Equipment Proposal in order to
receive the Prepayment Discount for that prepayment installment.
5. Representations and Warranties. Customer hereby represents and warrants to Company that the purchase of the
Product(s) has been approved by Customer in accordance with applicable general laws and, as applicable,
Customer’s charter, ordinances and other governing documents, and funding for the purchase has been duly
budgeted and appropriated.
6. Cancellation/Termination.
a. Fire Equipment and Apparatus Sales. In the event this Agreement is cancelled or terminated by
Customer before completion, Company may charge Customer a cancellation fee. The following
charge schedule is based on costs incurred by Manufacturer and Company for the Product, which
may be applied and charged to Customer: (a) 12% of the Purchase Price after the order for the
Product(s) is accepted and entered into Manufacturer’s system by Company; (b) 22% of the
Purchase Price after completion of approval drawings by Customer, and; (c) 32% of the Purchase
Price upon any material requisition made by the Manufacturer for the Product. The cancellation fee
will increase in excess of (c) in this Section 6, accordingly, as additional costs are incurred by
Manufacturer and Company as the order progresses through engineering and into the manufacturing
process.
b. Ambulance Sales. This Section 6 for Cancellation/Termination does not apply to Ambulance Sales.
An order for an ambulance cannot be cancelled or terminated once Company receives and processes
Customer’s Acceptance of Company’s Equipment Proposal.
7. Delivery. The Product is scheduled to be delivered as specified in the Delivery Timing section of the Equipment
Proposal (“Delivery Timing”), which will be F.O.B. Company’s facility. The Delivery Timing is an estimate,
and Company is not bound to such date unless it otherwise agrees in writing. Company is not responsible for
Delivery delays caused by or as the result of actions, omissions or conduct of the Manufacturer, its employees,
affiliates, suppliers, contractors, and carriers. All right, title and interest in and to the Product, and risk of loss,
shall pass to Customer upon Delivery of the Product(s) to Customer.
8. Standard Warranty. The manufacturer warranties applicable to this Agreement, if any, are attached to Company’s
Equipment Proposal as Exhibit A and are incorporated herein as part of the Agreement.
a. Disclaimer. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, COMPANY,
INCLUDING ITS PARENT COMPANY, AFFILIATES, SUBSIDIARIES, AND THEIR
RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, SHAREHOLDERS, AGENTS OR
REPRESENTATIVES DO NOT MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCTS PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT,

WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE EXPRESSLY

PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS DO NOT CONSTITUTE WARRANTIES.
9. Limitation of Liability. COMPANY WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL,

Caption:Motion to approve the reimbursement of special election
payments from the City of Blythe and the Richmond County
Board of Education to the Board of Elections 2018 Operating
Budget. (Approved by Finance Committee June 12, 2018)
Background:Special Elections in the City of Blythe and in Board of
Education District 7 were held on 3/20/18. A runoff in Board of
Education District 7 was held on 4/17/18. The City of Blythe
made payment of $887.08 for their election and the Board of
Education made payment of $15,704.24 for their election. The
election costs were paid directly from the Board of Elections
budget and we are requesting for a reinstatement.
Analysis:This is a break even reimbursement. These special elections
were unplanned and not budgeted. The initial expenses for these
elections came from the Board of Elections 2018 Budget. Both
entities have now paid their invoice. The reinstatement of the
election payments would offset the expenditures.
Financial Impact:No financial impact
Alternatives:The Board of Elections 2018 Budget would operate at a
$16,591.32 deficit.
Recommendation:Approve the request for reimbursement

Streetlight Subcommittee
Department:Engineering Department
Department:Engineering Department
Caption:Motion to request authorization to proceed with drafting edits to
the Augusta, Georgia Code, Chapter 3 Street Lighting, Section
7-3 to modify fee structure for the street light system.
Background:Currently, the special revenue street light fund that accounts for
the power use, materials, and maintenance of Augusta’s existing
street light system is underfunded annually by approximately
seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars. At the end of the 2017
fiscal year, this deficit will have occurred for the past three fiscal
years.
Analysis:Throughout Augusta, GA, the amount of fees collected to run
and maintain the existing street lighting system has been
deficient annually for the past several years. When consolidation
occurred in 1996, two separate, very different systems we
combined together. This created a system that is not uniform
across Augusta, GA. The issue has been compounded since fees
have not been adjusted over time to account for street lighting
items where costs have increased and additional areas were
serviced.
Financial Impact:The fund currently has a deficit or $1.2 million. If the fee
structure is not adjusted, the shortfall must be made from
General Fund.
Alternatives:N/A/
Recommendation:Allow staff to proceed with drafting an amendment to the
Augusta, Georgia Code, Chapter 3 Street Lighting, Section 7-3
to modify fee processes for the street lighting system.
