Ms. Evelyn Chanti, Information Technology Department, 2019 Employee of the Year. Background: Analysis: Financial Impact: Alternatives: Recommendation: Funds are Available in the Following Accounts: REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY: Cover Memo AUGUSTA RICHMOND COUNTY EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION COMMITTEE February 18, 2020 Mayor Davis: The Employee Recognition Committee has selected Evelyn Chanti as Augusta, Georgia’s Employee of the Year for 2019. Evelyn Chanti has 22 years with Augusta, joining Information Technology in 2005. Evelyn is truly passionate about her profession and continues to remain passionate to this day. She enjoys helping customers to use GIS data to make their work easier and more accurate. Evelyn is one of the hardest working, reliable, dedicated and innovative people working with Information Technology. She is a leader in her chosen profession and a solid team member up for any given challenge or task. She continuously strives to take Augusta’s Information Technology GIS Division to the next level. She provides exemplary customer support to departments, citizens, outside organizations including the local development community, state, and federal organizations. Evelyn frequently supports large-scale projects and her data analysis skills have saved the city from having to hire outside consulting firms during many large-scale projects. A couple of recent projects are voter verification and redistricting, GA Power Street Light Audit, Census 2020 Addressing, and the FEMA Flood Management and Community Rating System. She continuously receives recognition for her work by department heads, elected officials, and citizens. She contributed to the IT-GIS Team receiving our Special Achievement in GIS Award. Evelyn played major role in the Mayor’s Fight Blight Initiative by providing data analysis, data collection, and field training for this important community initiative. Evelyn saw that collaboration was essential to this initiative and she created a web app for the team to share data from multiple systems, which updates in real- time. This map has helped Environmental Services, Code Enforcement, Marshal’s Office, along with other departments see the value of spatial data and cleanup our community. One outstanding example of Evelyn’s customer service came when a train carrying deadly chlorine derailed in Bartow, Georgia in January 2019. This small jurisdiction does not have its own GIS staff or map-making capability. Emergency Management alerted Tameka Allen and she called Evelyn in the middle of the night to request a map of the affected area, so that they could contain the damage and possible hazards. Her fast response made it much easier for emergency personnel to keep people safe and manage a potentially very dangerous situation. Evelyn has also created 3-D indoor data to support facilities maintenance during their Cityworks Implementation. This work is extremely innovative and has been featured at the International ESRI Conference. This project was given special recognition for being one of the first in Georgia. Evelyn is a great asset to our community and our IT-GIS team. She has trained staff, citizens, and community organizations on Augusta’s property search tool “Augusta Maps” and received numerous accolades for her patience, professionalism, and knowledge. AUGUSTA RICHMOND COUNTY EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION COMMITTEE Based on this nomination, Evelyn’s outstanding contribution to Information Technology, and her service to Augusta, Georgia the Employee Recognition Committee would appreciate you joining us in recognizing Evelyn as the 2019 Employee of the Year.

BACKGROUND: There have been several requests in the past few months to place a monument or other appropriate marker in the right of way or on public properly to cornmemorate a specific ierson or event. While this has been done in the past on a case by case basis, the need to establish a policy has become apparent. The Public Works and Engineering Department has performed a limited field reconnaissance on the existing monuments and historical markers in the area. By far, the majority of the existing monuments are on Greene Street with the historical markers at various locations. The median ilrea on Green Street and other streets with width medians makes them ideal for the placement of monuments. Historichl markers can be placed in more confined locations. ANALYSIS: The criteria of the policy for placement of monuments or historical markers would include:1. Application for placement of monument or marker submitted to an ad hoc committee comprised ofr Planning and Zoning. Public Works and Engineering Department Administrator's Office -'AGEM'AITEM May 19,2000 PAGE TWO 2. The applicant would be required to enter into a perpetual maintenance agreement. The City would reserye the right to remove the monument or marker from the right of way or public property in case of disrepair or damage of a significant nature not being addressed by the applicant. 3. The successful applicant would apply for and secure an encroachment permit frori the Public Works and Engineering Department. This permit would address site requirements such as sight distances, clear zone, restrictions, etc. 4. Installation will be in accordance with City specifications and under City The agenda item does not contain a request for funding. ALTERNATIVES: Do not approve recommended policy in whole or in part.
