Ron,
The BTR request from this morning, had to think about first. I can adjust within the fund, but using a SPLOST account
with the capital fund is not an option. lf I do that I would increase 272 and that requires commission approval.
See below my recommendation:
lndicate on requisition:
329061110 I 217 O57 912-5422910 25,450
2720671.70-54229L0 29,550
I can adjust capital and SPLOST individually for the mower,

2021 - Utilities- Camera Van 21-178
Department:Central Services Department - Fleet Management
Department:Central Services Department - Fleet Management
Caption:Motion to approve the purchase of one (1) 2021/2022 Camera
Pipe Inspection Van, at total cost of $211,387.00, from
Environmental Products of Georgia, GA (Bid 21-178) for the
Utilities Department-Construction & Maintenance Division and
retain asset 205219 within the Utilities Department for alternate
use. (Approved by Administrative Services Committee
November 9, 2021)
Background:The Utilities Department-Construction & Maintenance Division
is requesting the replacement of asset number 205219, a 2005
Ford E-350 Camera Van, whose outdated equipment has created
a hardship on the department’s operation. A camera van is
essential in responding to issues of compromised, blocked or
broken sewer lines. The van enables them to inspect sewer lines
internally by video, laser profiles and other data recording
options while being able to view on a large screen and analyze in
the van’s operations center. Although the asset does not meet
the replacement criteria (utilizing the standard scoring metrics),
Fleet recommends purchasing a new asset to address the
department need for a camera van and rather than disposing of
asset 205219, which is still in usable condition, disposing of the
outdated equipment installed in the van so it can continue to be
utilized by the department to carry small equipment and
construction materials. Please see the attached Replacement
Evaluation Form for additional details. The vehicle evaluation
and tab sheet is attached for review.
Analysis:The Procurement Department published a competitive bid using
the Demand Star application for a 2021/2022 Van, Camera Pipe
Inspection. Invitations to Bid were sent to seven (7) vendors and
received a total of three (3) responses. The bid tab sheet is
attached for your review. Bid #21-178: 2021/2022 Van, Camera

Although rhe assel does nol meet the replacemcrrt criteria (utilizing the slandard scoring metrics) lhe
outdated equipment withio thc asset creates a hardship on the department's operation and the necd for a
ne\ry arset with updated equipment still exists. The vehiclc does not meet thc rcplacement critcria, mainly
due to the low miles of the vehicle This vehicle spcnds significantly more timc idling than driving due to
the nature of use; thc van is constantly running at the site where the equipment is being used as the AC
must stay on to keep the heat sensitive cquipment running and in good condition. The vchicle is being
utilized less due to the outdated equipment; from January 2020 to Juty 2021 the vehicle only drove 27
miles (prcviously averaging over 3,000 miles annually). Fleet recommends purchasing a new asset to
address lhe department need for a camera van and ratber thao disposing ofassel205219, which is slill in
usable condition, disposing of the outdaed equipment installed in the van so it can continue to be utilized
bv the dcpartment to carry small equioment and construction materials.

Department:Central Services - Facilities
Caption:Motion to ratify the award of an agreement to replace the roof
on Appleby Branch Library, in the amount of $62,306.50, to
CGS Waterproofing of Norcross, GA (Bid #21-203) and
approve the execution of the ARCPLS MOU in the amount of
$31,153.25.(Approved by Administrative Services
Committee November 9, 2021)
Background:The Appleby Library, located on Walton Way, is a historical
structure used by Augusta as a branch library. Augusta is
responsible for maintenance and repairs on the structure. The
recently completed roof assessment indicated the roof was in
need of replacement. The roof replacement was completed
August 2021 and CGS, LLC received a Letter of Completion
from the Augusta Planning and Development Department
September 2021 after final inspections were found to be in
compliance with applicable State Minimum Standard Codes.
Bid item 21-203 was issued through the Procurement
Department. Two responsive bids were received.
Analysis:The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia
awarded the Augusta Richmond County Public Library System
(ARCPLS) a maintenance and repair grant in the amount of
$212,500 to renovate and repair the Appleby Branch Library. Of
this amount, $31,153.25 will be used to replace the roof.
Augusta is responsible for the remaining 50%. Once Augusta
pays for the roof repair, 50% of the total cost will be reimbursed.
CGS was the low bidder. The bid amount is reflective of current
market conditions and represents a good value for Augusta in
preserving this asset. This work is critical to insure the integrity
of the building roof in preparation for the additional interior and
ADA improvements currently in the procurement process. The
fully warranted work incorporates material from GAF, a long
standing nationally recognized roofing material manufacturer.

From: Odie Donald II, Administrator
Subject: E-Signature Software Update
Background
The following information provides an overview of the benefits of a proposed
innovation to the coordination of approvals and contract execution via E-Signature
software (ESS). Electronic Signature commonly refers to any electronic process that
indicates acceptance of an agreement or record. It can be a symbol, or other method
attached to a document to recognize identity and to give consent to it. In response to
shocks and stressors such as the COVID-19 pandemic, such electronic records allow
for government organizations to continue operations despite service interruptions.
During the February 23, 2021, Administrative Services Committee meeting, the Office of the
Administrator was tasked with reviewing, procuring and implementation of an electronic
signature software that would make the Augusta, GA government more efficient in signing,
delivering, and communicating documents. This review allowed potential vendors an
opportunity to provide demonstrations of software capabilities. Demonstrations were
structured on the capabilities of the software along with fee estimates.
Common elements considered in the investigation include:
Elements to consider in E-Signature Solutions
Software Solution Fees/Pricing
o Per-User Cost
o Cost Per Module
o Customization
o Implementation
o Training
o Annual Support
o Hardware
NOTE: Based on initial fee proposals, annual cost estimates range would have an annual
estimated cost of $50,000.
Core Features: Common ESS solutions offer the following components:
o 20,000 document allowances
o Unlimited document users to create documents
o Unlimited Signatories (signing parties)
o Validation/verification of digital signature
Next Steps
The core solution has been fully vetted by IT and Procurement who are positioned to fully
implement if the Commission deems the proposal an appropriate and necessary expenditure for
the consolidated government. Next steps would include providing direction to the Administrator
to procure and enter into an agreement with a chosen qualified vendor to implement electronic
signature solutions. Based on the estimated cost, once a vendor is selected, the agreement would
come back to the Commission for approval.

and to authorize the Mayor to execute all required documents.
(Approved by Public Safety Committee November 9, 2021)
Background:Due to the size of the lot that Fire Station #9 is constructed on, it
has been necessary to use part of the Unitarian Church parking
lot as a means of safe entry into the fire station by the fire
apparatus, to avoid backing into the station and blocking traffic
on Walton Way Extension.
Analysis:The Augusta Fire Department entered into a lease with the
Unitarian Church for the use of 0.16 acres of property necessary
to allow the safe entrance of fire apparatus into the Fire station.
This is needed because of the increased size of newer fire
apparatus. It is now time for this lease to be renewed. The new
lease renewal has been reviewed and approved by the City
Attorney
Financial Impact:The lease agreement calls for a monetary sum of $1,500 to be
paid annually on January 1st of each year. The terms of the new
lease remain the same as the original lease
Alternatives:None at this time.
Recommendation:To approve the motion to approve the land lease for Fire Station

Augusta, Georgia, a political subdivision of the State of Georgia, acting by and through its Board
of Commissioners (“Lessee”). Lessor and Lessee may also be referred to individually as a
“Party” and jointly as the “Parties.”
Whereas, Lessee desires to lease from Lessor that portion of Lessor’s property described herein
as the Demised Premises.
Whereas, Lessee is willing to lease the Demised Premises in exchange for the monetary and
other consideration consisting of Lessee’s obligations under this Agreement.
Now, therefore, in exchange for their mutual good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which each Party acknowledges, and intending to be legally bound, Lessor and
Lessee agree as follows:
1. Lessor hereby leases to Lessee for a term beginning on January 1, 2022 and lasting through
and including December 31, 2026, the following described property (“Demised Premises”), to-
wit:
All that lot or strip of land, lying and being on the East side of Walton Way Extension in
Richmond County, Georgia, consisting of 0.16 acre, and being shown and designated as
Tract “B” on a plat designated “Walton Way Fire Station”, dated May, 1982, prepared by
Charles T. Alexander, Registered Surveyor, said plat attached hereto and incorporated
herein. Reference being made to said plat for a more accurate and complete description
as to the metes, bounds, courses, distances and location of said property.
2. The Lessee agrees to pay the Lessor a rent for the Demised Premises in the sum of One
Thousand, Five Hundred Dollars ($1,500.00), payable in increments of One Thousand, Five
Hundred Dollars ($1,500) for each calendar year of this Agreement, each such incremental rental
payment being due and payable in full as of January 31st of each calendar year.
3. The Lessee shall have the right to, at its expense, pave the Demised Premises and, except as
otherwise provided elsewhere within this Agreement, shall have the right to use the Demised
Premises for the purpose of parking vehicles of Lessee and vehicles of Lessee’s employees.
4. The Lessee agrees that all pavement on the Demised Premises shall be done in such a manner
as not to interfere with the access of Lessor to the Demised Premises and to the remaining
property of Lessor. Lessor shall have the right of free access to the Demised Premises.
Page 2 of 3
5. No improvements other than pavement shall be construed or erected by Lessee upon the
Demised Premises without the written consent of Lessor.
6. In the event that Lessee should abandon, sell or cease to use as a fire station its property that
is located adjacent to the Demised Premises then, any successor or assign to Lessee’s interests
shall be subject to this Agreement. In the event that Lessor should abandon, sell or cease to use
as a Church its property that is located adjacent to the Demised Premises then, any successor or
assign to Lessor’s interests shall be subject to this Agreement.
7. Lessee agrees that Lessor and its members have priority without notice to park upon the
Demised Premises during each Sunday between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Lessor
further has priority to park automobiles upon the Demised Premises at such other times and

at the Richmond County Fire Station located adjacent to this Demised Premises, (ii) said notice
is no less than twenty-four (24) hours in advance, (iii) Lessor’s use of the Demised Premises is
reasonable and does not excessively infringe on Lessee’s rights by the terms of this Agreement;

allow emergency vehicles access through the parking lot at all times. The mailing by Lessor to
Lessee of Lessor’s monthly Church Bulletin containing Lessor’s monthly schedule shall satisfy
this notice requirement.
8. Lessee shall, at its expense: (i) maintain the painted angular parking lines which lie on the
Demised Premises adjacent to Lessor’s remaining property, in good order and repair; (ii) ensure
that neither the parking spaces, nor the two means of access between the Demised Premises and
Lessor’s remaining property are in any manner obstructed; and (iii) be responsible for
maintenance and repair of the Demised Premises. Lessee agrees to allow Lessor to place signage
near these parking spaces which notify the availability of use of the parking spaces by Lessor’s
members and guest and shall not disrupt or disturb such signage. Lessor agrees to maintain in
good order and repair, any signage which notifies the availability of the parking spaces for use
by Lessor’s members and guest.
9. Lessee may, upon the provision of written notice delivered to Lessor by June 30th of a
calendar year, terminate this Agreement, without penalty and with no further rental payments
due, beginning January 1st of the immediately following calendar year. Lessee’s termination
hereunder shall in no manner affect rental payments Lessee has made, or was obligated by the
terms of this Agreement to have made, prior to the date of such termination notice. The Parties
acknowledge and agree that Lessee’s limited right hereunder to terminate this Agreement is to
ensure that Lessee is not penalized in the event it abandons, sells or ceases to use the fire station
or Demised Premises; such limited termination right shall not exist or extend to Lessee actions to
condemn the Demised Premises under eminent domain authority or otherwise. A Lessee
termination will be deemed to have been for the purpose of condemnation in the event Lessee
exercises its termination rights hereunder and then pursues such a condemnation on any date
prior to January 1, 2027.
10. During the term of this Agreement, Lessor shall possess a Right of First Refusal to all of
Lessee’s property used as a fire station at Walton Way Extension and Lessee shall possess a
Right of First Refusal to all of Lessor’s property used as a Church at Walton Way Extension.
Such Right shall exist as follows:
Page 3 of 3

or Lessee (six (6) affirmative votes when a quorum is present of the Augusta Commission),
respectively, vote to accept an offer for the sale or transfer of their interests in the property
subject to this Right then, notice of the sale or transfer, together with the purchase price and the
substantive terms of sale, shall be promptly communicated in writing to the other Party,
delivered certified U.S. mail, return receipt requested.

respond within the prescribed time limit, the disclosing Party shall be free to sell or transfer its
property consistent with its decision and without encumbrance from, or further obligation of any
kind to, the other Party.

rights, representatives of Lessor and Lessee shall meet before or during the third quarter of

GEORGIA EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY / HOMELAND
SECURITY
GEORGIA SEARCH AND RESCUE TEAM (GSAR) # 3___
MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT
The State of Georgia is vulnerable to a wide range of natural or man-made disasters and emergencies. The Georgia
Emergency Management Act, as amended (The Act) gives the State and local governments authority to make agreements
for mutual aid assistance in emergencies, and through such agreements to ensure the timely reimbursement of costs
incurred by the local governments which render such assistance. Under the Act, the Georgia Emergency Management
Agency / Homeland Security (GEMA/HS) has authority to coordinate assistance between local governments during
emergencies and to provide available resources, where needed. As part of the aforementioned authority, GEMA/HS created
the Georgia Search and Rescue (GSAR) teams as special regional response teams comprised of qualified local
governmental public safety entities. GEMA/HS supplied teams with appropriate equipment, training and exercises,
enabling each team to assist with GSAR personnel, equipment, facilities, services, supplies and other resources during an
emergency or disaster.
This Memorandum of Agreement is entered pursuant to authorities contained in Articles I through III, Chapter 3, Title 38,
Official Code of Georgia Annotated, including O.C.G.A. § 38-3-29, specifically.
ARTICLE I
STATEMENT OF AGREEMENT, DEFINITIONS AND AUTHORITIES
This Agreement is made and entered into between AUGUSTA, GA, the participating political subdivision, hereinafter
called "Participating Parties" and GEMA/HS. The following terms and expressions will apply:

Party pursuant to this agreement during an emergency or disaster.
(3) "Assisting Party" means a Participating Party providing assistance pursuant to this Agreement during a disaster or
emergency.
(4) "Authorized Representative" means a Participating Party's elected or appointed official or employee authorized in
writing to request, offer or otherwise provide assistance or an employee of GEMA/HS designated by its Director under the

Georgia Search and Rescue team member agencies.
(6) "Requesting Party" means a Participating Party which requests assistance pursuant to this Agreement during a disaster
or emergency.
Any term or expression not defined in this Agreement will have the meaning specified in the Georgia Emergency
Management Act, (the Act) as amended and rules promulgated thereunder, unless used in a context clearly suggesting a
different meaning.
ARTICLE II
GENERAL PURPOSE
The purpose of this Agreement is to provide for mutual assistance between the Participating Parties in managing any
emergency or disaster duly declared by the governing authority of any Participating Party, whether arising from natural
disaster, technological hazard, human caused disaster, civil emergency regarding resource shortages, community disorders,
insurgency, enemy attack, acts of terrorism or other significant event.
Page 2
ARTICLE III
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF PRINCIPLES
The guiding principle of this Agreement is the prompt, full and effective utilization of Participating Party resources,
including any resources on hand or available from any governmental entities, to ensure the safety, care and welfare of
people affected by a declared emergency.
Participating Parties accepting grant funds from The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Grant Programs Directorate (GPD) Homeland Security Grant Program agreed
through the GEMA/HS Grantee-Subgrantee Agreement to be bound by the Special Conditions contained therein. The
Special Conditions require the Subgrantee to comply with the terms and conditions of GEMA/HS’s Statewide Mutual Aid
and Assistance Agreement and to render mutual aid for a suspected or real attack involving use of weapons of mass
destruction or other events as determined by GEMA/HS. The Subgrantee will also sign any other Mutual Aid Agreements
GEMA/HS or DHS/FEMA deems necessary to assure the Subgrantee fulfills its obligations to render mutual aid.
Through the creation, equipping, training and exercise of GSAR Teams for use as special regional response teams,
GEMA/HS has an expectation these teams will respond at the request of GEMA/HS to an emergency or disaster duly
declared by the governing authority of any political subdivision which is a Participating Party, whether arising from a
natural disaster, technological hazard, human caused disaster, civil emergency regarding resource shortages, community
disorders, insurgency, enemy attack, acts of terrorism or other significant events, in accordance within the provisions of this
Agreement.
The Chief Executive Officer of the Public Safety entity participating as a member of the GSAR team is responsible for
formulation of the appropriate plans and procedures necessary to implement this Agreement.
ARTICLE IV

authorized representative of the Requesting Party for the Participating Party may request assistance from another
Participating Party by contacting the GEMA/HS Director. The provisions of this Agreement will only apply to requests for
assistance made by and to authorized representatives for GSAR resources and assets. Requests may be verbal or written. If

covered by this Agreement, in accordance with the terms herein. However, the Participating Party rendering aid may
withhold resources to the extent necessary to provide reasonable protection for its own political subdivision.
Emergency forces will continue under the command and control of their supervisors, but the organizational units will fall
under operational control of the emergency services authorities of the Requesting Party unless the GEMA/HS Director or

his/her authorized representative approves an alternative. These conditions may be activated, as needed, in any disaster or

remains in effect or loaned resources remain in the Requesting Party's jurisdiction(s), whichever is longer.

Dear Ladies/Gentlemen:
As you may know, Wolverton & Associates, Inc. (“Wolverton”) was acquired by CHA Consulting, Inc. (“CHA”) in
2019, adding to CHA approximately 100 employees and a seasoned team with three decades of experience in
transportation, traffic, land development, and land surveying. Combining the firms has fueled growth in the
southeast and provided existing clients of both firms with a deeper bench of technical talent and expertise – more
than 200 staff and growing in Georgia and Alabama. Since January 1, 2020, Wolverton has been fully integrated and
has rebranded as CHA. This rebranding and integration reinforces CHA’s robust transportation, traffic, and civil
engineering services and positions CHA as a leading engineering firm in the southeast.
To facilitate this transition, Wolverton would like to assign to CHA its active contract with you – namely, the
contract for the 15th Street pedestrian improvements project. If you consent to the assignment, please have the
appropriate person execute the attached document and return a PDF copy to Nikki C. Dames via e-mail at
ndames@chacompanies.com. She is also available to answer any assignment-related questions you may have.
Our goal is to make this transition as seamless as possible for you. If you have any project-related questions, please

SUBJECT: Construction Services for Lake Olmstead and Warren Lake
Sediment Dredging and Disposal
RFP ITEM #20-224
File Reference: 20-014 (A)
CAPTION: Approve Supplementing Construction Contract of Sediment Dredging and
Disposal Construction Services to Waterfront Property Services, LLC
Waterfront Property Services, LLC dba Gator Dredging for continuation of
lake dredging & sediments disposal and including Warren Lake permitted
area. Also approve supplemental funding in the amount of $500,000.00 for
Warren Lake Phase 1 dredging activities. Requested by AED. RFP 20-224
BACKGROUND: Augusta Canal Basin Dredging (Lake Olmstead, Warren Lake, Lake Aumond,
and Heirs Ponds) are approved projects. AED recently secured Section 404
of the Clean Water Act required individual permits and Lake Aumond and
Heirs were dredged first; completed in 2019. Soon after AED proceeded
with phase one of Lake Olmstead/Warren Lake disposal site construction
followed by Lake Olmstead (Upper and Lower lakes) dredging. Upper Lake
dredging is completed and lower lake tentative completion is by end of
next month (November 2021). AED is proposing to continue dredging and
supplement Warren Lake dredging to ongoing work in two phases. First
Phase (Phase1) includes preparation of site and completion of initial tasks
such as proposed forebay for capturing future sedimentation. Second
Phase (Phase2) will commence after completion of Phase1 and includes
dredging and disposal activities. Final Phase will be installation of 2ft clean
soil cap. At completion, water bodies will return to their near original
contours while improving water retention and visual appeal. It will also
create and enhance water recreational activities.
ANALYSIS: Completing Warren Lake dredging along with Lake Olmstead dredging is
cost effective way to complete dredging of the last of four regulatory
permitted waterbodies. There will be no cost escalation to Current
contract unit rates. It is AED determination that supplementing Warren
Lake dredging to work in-progress is cost effective option and Gator
Dredging is the only contractor submitting proposals for such work. AED
estimated that such action will yield cost saving of approximately two (2)
million dollars. Cost saving comes from contractor’s
mobilization/demobilization and eliminating disposed sediments first
phase capping (capping of Lake Olmstead disposed of sediment). Final
capping will be done following the completion Warren Lake dredged
material disposal at the same disposal site.
FINANCIAL
IMPACT: Funds in amount of $5,000,000.00 available in Engineering Projects

FROM: Hameed Malik, Ph.D., P.E., Director of Engineering
SUBJECT: GDOT FY2022 Local Maintenance and Improvement Grant (LMIG)
Project Number: N/A
File Reference: 21-014(A)
CAPTION: Approve and authorize Augusta Engineering Department (AED) to submit,
accept and receive Georgia Department of Transpiration (GDOT) Financial
Assistance from GDOT FY2022 Local Maintenance and Improvement Grant
(FY2022 LMIG) for Road & Drainage Improvements & maintenance

BACKGROUND: GDOT restructured its State Aid Program and named it as “Local
Maintenance and Improvement Grant (LMIG).” LMIG is a formula-based
grant from GDOT that is funded through the motor fuel tax. Grant funds
are typically used to supplement local projects for road/drainage
improvements and road resurfacing efforts based on priority. Augusta is
eligible to receive approximately $2.296 million through GDOT FY2022
LMIG Program.
ANALYSIS: GDOT LMIG financial assistance is critical for completing AED projects such
as roadway improvements and maintenance construction projects. This
financial assistance is available on yearly basis. In addition to this yearly
assistance, GDOT also provides LMIG funds to AED on as requested basis
depending on LMIG additional funds availability on state level,
demonstrated need and local project connectivity to state road system.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Augusta, GA AED will receive $2,295,999.80 in GDOT FY22LMIG. A local
funding match of 10% is required. FY22LMIG partially funded AED
proposed projects are:
i) East Augusta Road & Drainage-Brunswick Ave. & Azalea St.; ii)
Wrightsboro Rd Improvements (Highland Ave. to Jackson/N Leg); and iii)
Resurfacing of Milledge Rd. Additional road resurfacing may be added if
there is saving in contracted work for listed improvements or additional
funding from other sources available.
ALTERNATIVES: 2). Do not approve and identify alternate supplemental funds for
completing road improvements and maintenance projects, and do not
claim future LMIG Funds that are designated for Augusta.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve and authorize Augusta Engineering Department (AED) to submit,
accept and receive Georgia Department of Transpiration (GDOT)
Financial Assistance from GDOT FY2022 Local Maintenance and
Improvement Grant (FY2022 LMIG) for Road & Drainage

CALLED MEETING COMMISSION CHAMBER
November 9,2021
Augusta Richmond County Commission convened at 11:00 a.m., Tuesday, November 9,
2021, the Honorable Hardie Davis, Jr., Mayor, presiding.
PRESENT: Hons. Johnson, Garrett, Mason, Frantom, B. Williams, Scott, McKnight, D.
Williams, Hasan and Clarke, members of Augusta Richmond County Commission.
Mr. Mayor: The Chair recognizes Attorney Brown.
Mr. Brown: Good afternoon, Mayor and Commissioners. We request a motion, did you
want to handle the addendum?
Mr. Mayor: We'll come back.
Mr. Brown: All right. We request a motion to go into executive session for the discussion
of personnel, litigation and real estate.
Mr. Hasan: So move.
Ms. Scott: Second.
Mr. Mayor: Okay, after we vote then, let's just suspend for a minute. I need to ask a few
questions. Some late arriving information just came to me. Everybody just suspend. Okay, all
right, before we proceed, Madam Clerk, Attorney Brown, if we can just suspend on that vote.
Attomey Brown, we're going to suspend on that just for now. There is on the special called
meeting agenda one item and again as I understand it based on the information that I've received,
we can take that matter up. We can take that matter up. Madam Clerk, we're going to go ahead
and take that matter up. That's itern number three on the special called meeting agenda.
3. Consider refund request in the amount of $2,170.00 ($310) since 2014 for Richmond
County residents relative to non solid waste pickups. (No recommendation from
Engineering Services Committee October 2612021; referred from the Commission's
November 2, 2021 meeting)
Mr. Mayor: The Chair recognizes the Mayor Pro Tem.
Mr. B. Williams: Motion to approve.
Ms. McKnight: Second.
Mr. Hasan: Mr. Mayor-
Mr. Mayor: I've got you, I've got you.
The Clerk: Okay, that was the Mayor Pro Tern approving that?
Mr. Mayor: Right and the commissioner from the third second. All right, the Chair
recognizes the commissioner from the 6ft.
Mr. Hasan: Mr. Mayor, the documentation that we have at best is $2100. The
documentation that the Administrator sent us, I'm sorry, the department director sent us, is asking
for three years. That is what the attomey is saying we can do by law so you can't give the $2100.
But not only that the bigger issue, Mr. Mayor, there is no record that the City has that a request
has ever been entered and ask to be exernpt from two of these properties. There is no record of it
and so really if the truth be told, I think it needs to be established here today before you make a
motion to show why we are considering refunding the money.
Mr. Mayor: Well -
Mr. Hasan: Even three years.
Mr. Mayor: Well, to the Chairman of Administrative Services we've had several weeks to
establish that, we've had much debate about it, much conversation -
Mr. Hasan: And you still don't have an, it's still not approved in case, that's what I'm
asking for.
Mr. Mayor: And as a result of that there was a package of information that was sent out
that I'm aware of, sent out yesterday I believe, that hopefully addresses the remaining issues that
we've talked about for several weeks now. So what I've not heard you do is have a substitute
motion in support of this or that -
Mr. Hasan: Because I want to hear what the Director is going to say first and then I'll make
a motion from there.
Mr. Mayor: Well,I'm prepared to go ahead and vote on it.
Mr. Hasan: I'll make a substitute motion then. But I'd like to hear what the -
Mr. Mayor: What's your substitute?
Mr. Hasan: My substitute motion is to not make any, not to conduct business up until we
hear what he has to say.
Mr. Mayor: Well, that's not a motion.
Mr. Hasan: I'm not going to make a motion to deny, Mr. Mayor, because there's no
evidence, even the director is not asking to give us $2100 and I'd like to see my colleague at least
reconsider that until, because what he's asking is $900. He's not asking for these many years. By
state statute we can only do three years but there is no evidence that we should refund any money
at this time.
Mr. Mayor: All right, so are you suggesting that this -
Mr. Hasan: Mr. Mayor, let the director speak.
Mr. Mayor: I'm asking you -
Mr. Hasan: No, let the director speak, Mr. Mayor, let the director speak. You're trying to
avoid us having a conversation about something. Let the director speak. Director should speak
because also, Mr. Mayor, the part about this in the book you've got on October 26 Commissioner
Garrett put this on the agenda. Documentation that I have today shows that Mr. Stayer on the 19ft
of October and on the 22"d he had already sent it to the Tax Commissioner's Office to initiate a
refund so that's premature to us even authorizing a refund so all this needs to be elaborated about,
Mr. Mayor. We're not at that point yet.
Mr. Mayor: Here's what the Chairman knows that we've been debating this matter -
Mr. Hasan: Mr. Mayor, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, don't matter how long we've
been debating the issue.
Mr. Mayor: I think it matters -
Mr. Hasan: It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter -
Mr. Mayor: I'm going to ask the commissioner from the 6ft to suspend.
Mr. Hasan: Mr. Mayor, I want to hear from the director. That's my ask, that's my first
ask.
Mr. Mayor: That's fine.
Mr. Hasan: To hear from the director.
Mr. Mayor: That's fine. All right, I'm going to ask the commissioner from the 6ff to
suspend. We have talked about this -
Mr. Hasan: Mr. Mayor, Iro, no, I asked to hear, you acknowledged me. I'm asking to hear
from the director. That's my ask.
Mr. Mayor: And as I just said, I'm going to give you an opportunity to hear from the
director.
Mr. Hasan: Well, you don't have to try to massage it, Mr. Mayor. Let the director speak.
Mr. Mayor: Okay, I'm going to call for the vote then since you won't suspend and yield.
I've been very respectful -
Mr. Hasan: You have not. You have not.
Mr. Mayor: Commissioner, as I've said ['m going to recognize -
Mr. Hasan: You have not been respectful. The respectful part is to let the director speak.
Let the director speak. That's what I asked for, you acknowledge me. My request is to let the
director speak. That's my request.
Mr. Mayor: Voting.
Mr. Hasan: You acknowledged me. I make a substitute motion. I make a substitute motion
Mr. Mayor: As I said I'm going to, I've given you ample opportunity to let me conduct
this meeting and you refuse to do that.
Mr. Hasan: (inaudible).
Mr. Mayor: Okay, well, then suspend. Suspend. Suspend. That's all I asked you to do.
Now I'm going to repeat what I was about to say. Director Stayer has asked, been asked to speak.
We also asked for thern to provide us with this information. I rernember it vividly. That was the
conversation last week and here it is we find ourselves with all of these questions that were
supposed to have been answered for us. That was supposed to have been answered for us primarily
at the request of the commissioner from the 66. And now we come to this meeting today and we
still don't have the answers. There's something fundamentally and structurally wrong with that
when we're having this conversation today at your request. Director Stayer. There's something
fundamentally wrong, commissioner from the 6ft. We're having this conversation at your request
and we still don't have answers. Director Stayer, please proceed.
Mr. Stayer: Brooks Stayer, Environmental Services Director. So I think the first question
is on the documentation from the customer and so what we researched was that prior to 2014 the
hansition to the Elemos system database and the once a week automated collection, they were
exonpt and then from 2014 that transition you know that there were hundreds of properties that
did not make that migration in data and we had to grant exernptions back to. So we do not have
the actual form they requested from 2013 because we only hold onto records according to the
county policy for three years. But every indication we have is that they filed the exemption, the
exernption was approved and they were not paying taxes on the property and so by all accounts,
they did file the proper paperwork and they were exempt and should not have paid taxes.
Mr. Mayor: Continue. Commissioner, you have the floor. Would you push your button
so we can hear you, sir.
Mr. Hasan: I'm sorry. Can you hear me now? I thought it was on.
Mr. Mayor: You've been on.
Mr. Hasan: What are you recommending in terms of refunding them?
Mr. Stayer: We follow the Georgia Tax Code of three years.
Mr. Hasan: Okay.
Mr. Stayer: We don't officially have that as a policy. What happened was in 2014 we
anticipated not having this problan that all the customers who had exemptions would continue to
have exemptions but again in that migration of data hundreds of them were lost and so the first
year we gave back everybody who asked. The second year we gave everybody who asked but they
asked for a second year and the third year they asked for a third year so we capped it at three years
and that's my understanding because we've only had seven requests including these two in the last
four years so this is not common. Most of the people have been corrected, there are very few
elroneous billings left as far as we know so we've done the three year based on Georgia tax code
but that's not been approved by the Commission.
Mr. Hasan: Okay, but if that's what you just said what you've just said why in October 19
and October the 22"d you asked for three years refund for them and this conversation started
October 26.
Mr. Stayer: Because that is the policy I inherited that we've been following for seven
years.
Mr. Hasan: So why wouldn't you acknowledge that to let us, inform us that you had
already initiated a refund to them because when you called me the other day you said, what you're
pretty much saying is that you only saw one address, it might have been A, that had an exemption.
That's the only one you know of. You never mentioned that even though the other two that you've
already initiated refunding them three years each. You never said that.
Mr. Stayer: I apologizeif I didn't say it. It is in the documentation I provided.
Mr. Hasan: Is in the documentation you provided.
Mr. Stayer: That's the reason you're hearing about it today is because we informed the
customers we would follow our procedure of going back three years and they said they asked for
all seven and so they brought it to the Commission.
Mr. Hasan: I have one more question, Mr. Mayor, and I'm going to make a substitute
motion. Mr. Stayer, do you realize the documentation that you sent us you didn't put the procedure
in it and what the procedure says that no prior periods request will be granted meaning that they
have to apply again on an annual basis that your department, your current department, sends a list
to the Tax Commissioner office of who is to be charged solid waste and neither one of those
addresses, both of those addresses was on it, even in'14. A was not, those othertwo was and
that's why they were continuouslybeing charged solid waste fees as early as'14. There is no
indication from your department that an ask was ever entered and just because they was not
charged previous years you had to ask in'13 to start the process in'14. That's not an automatic
process. Mr. Mayor, I'm not going to debate this. I think my colleagues are ready to do this
instead of them doing something wrong. I'd like to make a motion here. My motion is, substitute
motion -
Mr. Mayor: Continue.
Mr. Hasan: Substitute motion is to give them the three years, if that's what you want to
do, but however put a moratorium on exempting anybody else until we can get a policy in that's
going to protect the government of how these citizens are going to dispose of their waste. There
should be a policy in place, allow the Administrator and allow the attorney to come back and to
look at that, a policy in place and bring back a policy but also look at the authority that comes with
this particular issue in that department because there's too much authority for the director so that
we can make informed decisions moving forward. That's my motion.
Mr. Mason: What's the motion?
Mr. Hasan: My motion is a substitute motion, Commissioner, and it's not because what
we're going to lose is (inaudible) they're going to (inaudible) $2100 and he's not even asking for
that.
Mr. Mason: There's a lot being said. I was just trying to make sure I was clear. I'll second
for the purposes of having a second but I wanted to -
Mr. Hasan: Mr. Mayor, let me ask the General Counsel something. Can I make two
motions?
Mr. Mayor: No. You cannot. You cannot. You can make a substitute motion and if it
gets a proper second then we have an opportunity to vote it up or down.
Mr. Hasan: Mr. Mason, I'll wait on you then. Go ahead. I'll wait before I make a motion.
Mr. Mayor: No, sir.
Mr. Hasan: I don't have to make a motion, Mr. Mayor, since you said -
Mr. Mayor: No, you just said you make a substitute motion. The commissioner from the
4ft said for the pu{poses of extending the debate he would second it for your purposes.
Mr. Hasan: Okay, okay.
Mr. Mayor: There is a lot of passion in the room. It's not necessary. We've having a
conversation, commissioner from the 6ft, because you've asked for it for four weeks --
Mr. Hasan: Mr. Mayor, because you -
Mr. Mayor: -- so now that we're here the commissioner from the 4ft you get recognized.
Mr. Mason: Yes, thank you, Mr. Mayor. Just a couple of things. One, for the director,
I've heard what you said and I think I understand what you're saying so from your standpoint the
92170 that we're looking at here is really not in question. That is something that could be given.
Okay, so and then, Mr. Mayor, from the parliamentarian just to make sure that we're clear because
I heard something about a three year deal, are we in any legal jeopardy, are we okay with doing
what we're doing if we do this 2100 here?
Mr. Brown: No, sir, that would be veering away from policy -
Mr. Mason: No? Now, wait a minute.
Mr. Brown: No, sir. That would be veering away, that represents seven years.
Mr. Mason: So you wouldn't recommend that?
Mr. Brown: No, I do not.
Mr. Mayor: If I heard the director correctly, what he said is pursuant to policy, pursuant
to the loss of paperwork between 2013 and2014 is that he's communicated to the petitioner that
they're eligible for three years. I just heard him say that. And they have come forward just to
inquire the Commission about seven but he communicated to them that they're only allowed three
years. He just said that. He just said that.
Mr. Mason: Okay, so we're voting on the three years then?
Mr. Mayor: Yes, we're voting on three years.
Mr. Mason: Okay.
Mr. Garrett: The original motion is for the full seven.
Mr. Mayor: I understand that as well.
Mr. Garrett: Okay.
Mr. Mayor: Let me clarifu to the commissioner from the 4ft. Might I suggest the
following? Help the commissioner from the 6ft by friendly inquiring that he amend the substitute
to simply say that motion, substitute motion to approve a three year refund, period.
Mr. Mason: I would ask the commissioner from the 6ft to put that in the form of a substitute
motion. I think that kind of clears it up a little bit based on what we've heard from our
parliamentarian as well. We will address the other issues -
Mr. Hasan: I will make a substitute motion to refund the three years.
Mr. Mason: Second.
Mr. Mayor: Thank you. The Chairman of Engineering Services. I'll give you an
opportunity to speak.
Mr. Garrett: Thank you, Mayor. I believe you also heard the Director from Environmental
Services say that it was Augusta's fault that they were charged for this full seven years and I think
that is why this is before this Commission today. During the switch over to the new system the
previous exemption did not make it into the new system so they've been charged for something
they have never, ever received and that's why I brought this to the Commission even though it is
outside of the policy that Augusta does not have. They're going by the state policy. There is
leeway for the Commission to do the right thing here and to refund all of the money that they have
been charged and paid for the last seven years. That is why this is before us. The three years never
even had to come before the Commission. The Director could have done that himself. But the
fact that the paperwork that was sent out that clearly shows the timeline including the properfy that
was in question last week never paid and so that is not even part of this. There's only two properties
included in this, the Barnes and the Fulllers, and that's why the first motion should stick.
Mr. Mayor: All right, again, let's just do this. The commissioner from the 8ft, the
Chairman of Engineering Services, is correct on all points. That is true. The matter that's being
brought before us again, the underlying motion was a fulI refund request pursuant to the challenges
of the system and all things being said. You've got a substitute motion and General Counsel,
again, out of an abundance of caution has suggested that you approve what the substitute motion
calls for. But without question the Chairman of Engineering Services is accurate, completely
accurate.
Mr. Hasan: Not true, Mr. Mayor.
Mr. Mayor: Voting. You're voting on the substitute.
Mr. McKnight, Mr. Frantom, Mr. Garreff and Mr. Clarke voting No.
Motion carries 6-4.
Mr. Mayor: Thank you, Madam Clerk.
Mr. Garrett: Point of personal privilege, Mayor.
Mr. Mayor: State your inquiry.
Mr. Garrett: Thank you. So once again we're not going to do the right thing to our
constituents and refund the money that is due to thern and this bothers me tremendously. It bothers
me that our attomey has spoken to a policy that doesn't exist except at the state level. It's even
stated that the policy was never adopted by the Commission. He also did not expound that we had
the authority to go outside of said policy.
Mr. Mayor: Thank you. The Chair recognizes the General Counsel.
Mr. Brown: Yes, commissioner, Mayor, statement by Commissioner Ga:rett is not
accurate as to what General Counsel has done or said. What I said was that state law provides
three years. This policy, the director is also incorrect but he being new may be a misunderstanding.
This Commission gave the authority to Environmental Service Director to establish the policy.
Environmental Services Director established a policy of three years max. That has been the policy
of Environmental Services for several years. In addition, what state law says any government, city
or county govemment, that has a waste collection service has the same powers and authority as
the state has in collecting taxes and fees which will include refunds. The power that the state gives
to the county is three years max. If you go beyond three years max, you're waiving your sovereign
immunity against claims for all your citizens. So the City can waive its sovereign immunity. If
you go beyond the three years, you would have set a precedent and you would have no ability to
distinguish between any other claimants who could have come before the Commission and
requested within three years a claim.
Mr. Garrett: So this is the fourth week we have discussed this. Last week you said we
could go as far as four years so which week are we supposed to listen to you as being right?
Mr. Brown: Yes, I would like to respond.
Mr. Mayor: I want you to.
Mr. Brown: Yes. Last week I stated that the most because of the matter should not have
been voted on last week, it was not attempted to be voted on last week but the commissioner from
the 8ft put a motion on the floor when the Commission prior instructions was simply for
Environmental Services and the Law Department to go back and find out what was the policy or
was there a policy -
Mr. Garrett: No, the direction was to find the documentation referring to these two
properties.
Mr. Brown: And the other part was to see if there actually was an application for
exemption. That was what was supposed to be brought back last week. The documentation did
not come forth from Environmental Services. Along with the help of the Clerk, I did find the
policies that were adopted and that were published by Environmental Services, it was in your
agenda book last week. It's in your agenda book today. So that was brought back. At the time
when the motion was made for $2100 which represented seven years, it was my obligation at that
point to alert the Commission there's a statute of limitation and I said at the time based upon the
research we had it certainly does not exceed four years. This week Environmental Services
Director and their department did research to show what their practice had been and they brought
forth in the memorandum yesterday telling you when the person applied, what they believed had
happened, how the mistake occurred, etc. so that was the facts. At that point it became clear since
Environmental Services which the Commission had authorized to establish a policy they had
previously decided before this director that the maximum would be three years.
Mr. Garrett: Attorney, if you had paid seven years -
Mr. Mayor: Hold on, hold on. Commissioner, suspend.
Mr. Brown: The only authority that the City has in terms of sovereign immunity is given
by the state. The City has no authority to waive its sovereign immunity but the state has allowed
a waiver of sovereign immunity against the City for claims regarding refunds for fees up to three
years so you need a legal basis, you need a legal basis to go beyond those three years.
Mr. Garrett: Is not the legal basis the paperwork?
Mr. Mayor: All right, Commissioner, suspend, suspend. We've had a motion, we've had
a vote to support what current policy is. What General Counsel has done and I'm fully aware of,
all of us are aware of it, we've been debating this maffer again for four weeks. There have been
saliant points raised by the commissioner from the 8ff, the commissioner from the 6ft, both who
serve on Engineering Services as Chair and Vice Chair. And yet we're still having a conversation
that you all could have had the answers to. The commissioner from the 6ft just indicated he's had
separate conversations, this matter is done, it's over with, we voted on it. Madam Clerk, there's
another matter, the Mayor Pro Tem. The Chair recognizes the Mayor Pro Tem.
Mr. B. Williams: Yes, sir. I'd like to place on the agenda a Resolution for the death of
Reverend Hatney. Ms. Bonner, you have that?
Mr. Mayor: Without objection.
The Clerk: Okay, so it is to be added without objection.
Mr. Mayor: Without objection.
(Voice in background)
Mr. Mayor: No, ma'am. This matter, I want to hear from you but there's a lot of passion.
You've been granted, ma'am, ma'am, I appreciate it. Thank you.
The Clerk: Therefore be it resolved with a sincere (inaudible). The resolution of
condolences for the Rev. Dr. Johnny R. Hatney. Therefore be it resolved that it is with our sincere
care and concern that we the Augusta, Georgia Commission send these humble words expressing
our heartfelt sympathy. May you find comfort in knowing that others care and share your loss. It
be further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the family and friends of Rev.
Dr. Johnny R. Hatney this 9ft day of November in the year of our Lord202l.
Mr. Mayor: Mayor Pro Tem.

Mr. B. Williams: So move.
Mr. Hasan: Second.
Mr. Mayor: Okay. Voting.
Motion carries 10-0.
Mr. Mayor: Thank you, Madam Clerk. I'm going to say this. You know we live in a
community, we live in a world that becomes increasingly more and more polarized. Matters like
what we have been debating for four weeks now all they take is a simple phone call, a series of
conversations with the appropriate principals to one, first get understanding. I'm rerninded in
scripture where we're reminded that wisdom is the chief thing but get understanding. Get
understanding. And all to often we find ourselves at a place where we're fixated on having our
voice and our position heard without getting understanding. It then tums into passionate debates
like we have today much of which is relegated to the lack of understanding about what is and what
isn't right. When we end up voting on matters and having discussion about it, it turns into a
colorful conversation. The media is going to say when you had six black votes for it and four
white votes against it, it's time out. We're much better than that. If all we do is take a moment
againto have the conversation. I'm not interested in filibustering to hold a position but what I am
interested in is tamping down on the back and forth, back and forth particularly when we've had
this discussion and when there's a lack of understanding. Hit the pause button just long enough to
just understand. How do we get here, how do we resolve it and how do we have long-term
solutions that make our city better and make our community better so that we're not hovering
around this notion of fighting amongst ourselves. It's just not necessary. So at the end of the day
wisdom is the chief thing but in all of our getting, get an understanding. Proverbs 4 and 7 . Letthe
day be a getting an understanding of what we're trying to get done, how best to get it done and
then leverage the people resources that we have to do it. We'll retire to the room 291.
The Clerk: We need to take a vote, sir.
Mr. Mayor: Okay, all right. Attorney Brown, I'm going to come back to you.

Consider Probation, Suspension, or Revocation of Business Tax Certificate for Azalea Sureste
Partners, d/b/a: Azalea Park Apartments
Department:Planning & Development
Department:Planning & Development
Caption:Receive update as requested by the Commission on November 2,
2021 from the Planning & Development Department regarding
approved probation until December 31, 2021, for Sureste
Partners, d/b/a: Azalea Park Apartments, 1814 Fayetteville
Drive, for violating the Occupation Tax Ordinance.
Background:In its meeting held on September 7, 2021 the Planning &
Development Department was directed by the Commission to
give an update on November 2, 2021, if the complex was not in
total compliance”…. Commission Agenda Item # 20, September
7, 2021: considered probation, suspension or revocation of the
Business Tax Certificate for Sureste Partners, d/b/a: Azalea Park
Apartments, 1814 Fayetteville Drive, for violating the
Occupation Tax Ordinance. The Occupation Tax Code requires
that a business comply with any federal or state law, or local
ordinance that regulates such business, and failure to do so may
be cause for the Augusta Commission to suspend, deny, or
revoke the business tax certificate. FINANCE AND
TAXATION : §2-1-38. Right to Deny, Suspend, or Revoke a
Business Tax Certificate. (a). A Business Tax Certificate under
this Chapter may be denied, suspended, or revoked if one or
more of the following exists: (3). The applicant or holder of the
certificate intends to violate or has violated any federal or state
law, or local ordinance or any ordinance or resolution regulating
such business or intends to violate any regulation made pursuant
to authority granted for the purpose of regulating such business.
Analysis:The owner of Azalea Park Apartments, Sureste Partners, has
continued to neglect property maintenance responsibilities as
required by Augusta under the International Property
Maintenance Code (IPMC). The Code Enforcement Division has
opened 154 cases since October 2018 regarding burned
buildings, inadequate maintenance of buildings to include
Cover Memo
plumbing, electrical and mechanical systems. In addition,
common areas within buildings are unkempt and extremely
unsanitary. Currently, there are twenty-two (22) open code
enforcement cases in which three (3) buildings have been
condemned (two buildings have burned and one flooded).
Remediation efforts to restore to code by rehabilitation or
demolition have stalled. In an attempt to gain compliance, court
citations were issued to the previous property manager. A
meeting was convened in 2020 and 2021 with the owner and
staff to obtain a long-term plan for addressing current issues,
reoccurring issues, and plans for maintaining the facility.
Although some issues have been addressed, the owner continues
to neglect his responsibility to maintain the property in a safe
and sanitary condition.
Financial Impact:N/A

Recommendation:Recommend placing the Business License on probation
beginning September 7, 2021, through October 31, 2021, and
placing this agenda item on the November 2, 2021, Commission
agenda for a status update…. On November 1, 2021, the
property will be inspected for code compliance. The results of
the inspection will be presented at the regular scheduled meeting
of the Commission on November 2. If all code violations have
not been corrected, the recommendation will be to revoke the
Business License and at which time no new tenants can move
into the property.

GEORGIA SECURITY AND IMMIGRATION COMPLIANCE ACT: E-VERIFY AND SAVE
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
I. Federal Work Authorization Program Registration
As of July 1,2007, the Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act (GSICA) requires counties and
other public employers, along with contractors and subcontractors doing business with public agencies, to
register and participate in a federal work authorization program to verify work eligibility of all new
employees. [OCGA § 13-10-91 (a)]
Registration/Access. According to regulations of the Georgia Department of Labor, the applicable federal
work authorization program is the "E-Verify Program" operated by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration
Services Bureau (USCIS) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). An employer's participation
in E-Verify is currently free to employers. Users can access the web-based program at https://e-
verify.uscis.gov/enroll/StartPage.aspx?JS=YES. To participate, an employer must register online and
accept the electronic Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). If you need assistance in completing the
registration process or need additional information relating to E-Verify, call the USCIS Verification
Office toll free at 1-888-464-4218. [Georgia Department a/Labor Rules, §§ 300-10-1-.01 and.02}
Certification of Registration and Participation. Each county and other public employer must certify that it
has registered and in participating in the E-Verify Program. For counties, certification is accomplished by
transmitting a copy of all documents required for registration and participation including the required
Memorandum of Understanding and the E-Verify Program ID number to the chairman/CEO/mayor of the
county or consolidated government. [Georgia Department a/Labor Rules, § 300-10-1-. 04}
Monitoring New Employee Work Eligibility. Each county and other pubic employer must designate an
individual to monitor compliance with the employee eligibility verification requirements of the new law
and maintain necessary records. [Georgia Department a/Labor Rules, § 300-10-1-.05}
II. Agreements between Public Employers and Contractors/Subcontractors
The GSICA also phases in a requirement that bars counties and other public employers from entering into
agreements with contractors/subcontractors for the "physical performance of services" unless the
contractor/subcontractor registers and participates in a federal work authorization program to verify work
eligibility. Under GSICA, a subcontractor is defined to include subcontractors, contract employees,
staffing agencies, or contractors. [OCGA § 13-10-91 (b) (1) and (2) and Georgia Department a/Labor
Rules, § 300-10-1-.02]
Phase-In Schedule. The contracting requirements of the GSICA are to be implemented as follows:
(a) Beginning July 1, 2007, public employers, contractors and subcontractors with 500 or more employees.
(b) Beginning July I, 2008, public employers, contractors and subcontractors with 100 or more employees.
(c) Beginning July 1, 2009, all public employers, contractors and subcontractors.
[OCGA § 13-10-91 (b) (3) and Georgia Department a/Labor Rules, § 300-10-1- .02]
Evidence of Contractor/Subcontractor Compliance. Each agreement between a public employer and a
contractor/ subcontractor for the physical performance of services will have to include a provision that
compliance with OCGA § 13- I0-91 is a condition of the contract. In addition, each contact must include
a requirement that the contactor/subcontractor execute an affidavit verifying compliance with OCGA §
13- I091. The affidavit must be in a form consistent with the sample affidavits included in the Georgia
Department of Labor Rules. [Georgia Department a/Labor Rules, §§ 300-10-1-.03 and .07]
Contractual Agreement Page 8 of 8

Prepared: 08/20/2021
Public Transportation Contracts. The Georgia Department of Labor Rules applies generally to contracts
between a public employer and a contractor/subcontractor. Exception: Rules and forms related to
agreements relating to "public transportation" are to be promulgated by GDOT. [OCGA § 13-10-91 (d)]
III. Access to Federal, State and Local Benefits
Counties and other public agencies must verify that a person who applies for federal, state or local
benefits (as defined in 8 U.S.C. Sections 161 I and 1621) is lawfully within the United States by requiring
the applicant to sign an affidavit specifying that he or she is a citizen, legal permanent resident, or a
qualified alien or nonimmigrant. [OCGA § 50-36-1]
Verification. For aliens seeking benefits that claim to be lawfully present in the U.S., eligibility for
benefits must be determined through the Systematic Alien Verification of Entitlement (SAVE) program
operated by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and Department of Homeland
Security (DHS). To join the SAVE Program and acquire access to the VIS-CPS (Verification
Information System (VIS), Customer Processing System (CPS) to perform immigration status
verification, an agency must first establish a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the SAVE
Program, and then establish a purchase order with the SAVE Program contractor to pay for VIS-CPS
transaction fees. Access to SAVE is subject to USCIS resource limitations or other legal or policy
criteria. To request participation in SAVE and to begin the MOU process, please access the following
website to register: https://www.vis- dhs.com/agency registration. For more information on the SAVE
Program, please call 1-888-464-4218.
Public Benefits Defined. Generally, public benefits are defined to include any grant, contract, loan,
professional license, or commercial license provided by federal, state or local government; and, any
retirement, welfare, health, disability, public or assisted housing, postsecondary education, food
assistance, unemployment assistance or similar benefit. [8 U.S.C. Sections 1611 and 1621]
Benefits Excluded. Generally, the verification requirements do not apply when the following public
benefits are applied for:
(1) Treatment of emergency medical conditions;
(2) Short term, non-cash emergency disaster relief;
(3) Immunizations;
(4) Certain in-kind programs or services (such as soup kitchens and crisis counseling) delivered by
public and nonprofit agencies that are necessary for the protection of life or safety when approved
by the U.S. Attorney General;
(5) Prenatal care;
(6) Postsecondary education under specified circumstances;
(7) Certain community development assistance or financial assistance programs administered by
HUD; and
(8) Other Federal programs including certain social security and Medicare benefits under specified
conditions. [OCGA § 50-36-1 (c) and 8 U.S.C. Sections 1611 and 1621]
Note that it is unlawful for a county or other public agency to provide any federal, state or local benefit in
violation of OCGA § 50-36-1. An annual report is to be prepared regarding the requirements of the new
law. Regarding the details of the verification requirements, benefits covered, and exclusions please see
the Federal statutes cited above.
Substantial Amendment to the 2018–2022 Georgia Consolidated Plan and Program Year 2019 Annual
Action Plan to include CARES Act Funding for CDBG, ESG, and HOPWA (FINAL as of June 30, 2020)
Summary: The State of Georgia’s 2018-2022 Consolidated Plan details the funding strategy for the
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME),
Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA). The Annual
Action Plan (AAP) details each year within the Georgia Consolidated Plan and outlines the implementation
of annual funding, which is developed through public input, analyses, and planning.
In 2019, the State of Georgia submitted the PY2019 AAP to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). Additionally, the State of Georgia’s Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) describes the
efforts that the State will take to encourage its residents to participate in developing these plans. The plan
also includes the public process when a substantial amendment to the Annual Plan is proposed.
Amendments to the approved Consolidated Plan are required whenever a jurisdiction makes one or more
of the following decisions:
(1) Make a change in its allocation priorities or a change in the method of distribution of funds;
(2) Carry out an activity, using funds from any program covered by the Consolidated Plan (including
program income), not previously described in the action plan; or
(3) Change the purpose, scope, location, or beneficiaries of an activity.
This Substantial Amendment addresses the appropriation of $82,850,607 through the first three tranches
of CARES CDBG-CV and possible additional funding through the third trances for the State through the
Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), Public Law 116-136 to allow funding for
activities to prevent, prepare for, or respond to the Coronavirus.
Specifically, Georgia’s amendment will:
• Add the supplemental awards and program activities for CDBG-CV provided by the CARES Act to
the PY2019 AAP; and
• Modify the CDBG Method of Distribution for the CDBG-CV program.
Citizen Participation Plan Process: Due to COVID-19, HUD has issued guidance that waives the Citizen
Participation Plan requirements provided that: (1) no fewer than five days are provided for public
comment and (2) reasonable notice and the opportunity to comment is provided. The public comment
period began on December 10, 2020 with the posting on the Georgia Department of Community Affairs
website and distribution by e-mail to program stakeholders to inform the public of the proposed
Substantial Amendment and inviting comments through December 17, 2020.
Citizens may review the Substantial Amendment and the Citizen Participation Plan at www.dca.ga.gov or
may request a hard copy, if needed. All comments received during the public comment period will be
incorporated into the final Substantial Amendment submitted to HUD.
Changes to the 2019 Annual Action Plan: HUD has awarded supplemental funding through the CARES Act
that requires programming within one program year. The State of Georgia has selected the Program Year
2019 Annual Action Plan to expedite the receipt of CARES Act funds and the implementation of the
programs.
The State of Georgia has received supplemental funding through the CARES Act for the following
programs: Community Development Block Grant Coronavirus (CDBG-CV), Emergency Solutions Grant
Coronavirus (ESG-CV), and Housing Opportunities for Persons with Aids Coronavirus (HOPWA-CV). HUD
has notified the State that additional funds may be provided for each category depending on a formula
determined by HUD pertaining to state COVID-19 related metrics.
The additional programming and substantial funding increase from the CARES Act depicted in the chart
below require a substantial amendment and public notice as described in the Citizen Participation Plan.

Proposed activity changes by Program: The Georgia Department of Community Affairs, Community
Finance Division, as the designated administrator of the State of Georgia’s State CDBG and CDBG-CV
programs amends the program activity to use the CARES Act funding to fund public assistance activities
which includes payments to assist with short-term emergency rental assistance, public infrastructure
which includes broadband infrastructure and other public facilities which may include capital expenses
for food banks and/or vaccine storage/refrigeration.
CDBG-CV Round 1 – Broadband
o DCA will develop a geographically targeted program to construct and/or expand broadband in
unserved and/or underserved areas of the State’s non-entitlement program participants.
o The geographic targeting is intended to address the pressing need in rural Georgia where
broadband is inadequate to serve the needs of LMI communities. Rural healthcare and access to
broadband for schools and businesses creating and/or retaining jobs are just three basic needs
being experienced.
o The ability for students to complete schoolwork remotely, adults having the ability to telework,
and the need for telehealth options for Georgians, primarily in rural Georgia, became immediately
evident as an issue that existed as a result of COVID-19. Months after the pandemic began, these
factors remain as lives and livelihoods continue to be negatively impacted by COVID-19.
Therefore, Georgia has identified the provision of broadband as necessary to “prevent, prepare
for, and respond to COVID-19.”
o Targeted areas will be determined using recently developed maps for the state’s new Broadband
initiative. We will be able to overlay unserved areas and LMI areas to determine the areas of
highest need to prevent, prepare and respond to areas being adversely affected by COVID-19.
o Georgia’s CDBG-CV strategy for identifying targeted areas to encourage broadband development
will utilize all available sources of information, but will rely primarily on data used in the
development of the Georgia Broadband Development Initiative.
o Local governments in these targeted areas will be eligible to apply for Round 1 CDBG-CV funds.
CDBG-CV – Round 2
o Additional funding for Broadband with the targeted geography to be expanded to include as
eligible applicants Entitlement program grantees in addition to those included in the State’s CDBG
program who otherwise are in the targeted areas.
o Add additional funding to the Department’s ESG CARES Act funding to supplement the great need
for rental assistance following the lifting of eviction moratoria set to expire.
The State of Georgia plans to amend the current Method of Distribution to directly fund units of local
government.
CDBG-CV Round 3
o Additional funding for Emergency Rental Assistance for targeted use statewide.
o Planning to ensure the state is prepared to take steps necessary to monitor, track, and report to
the public on the spread of COVID-19 within the state of Georgia.
o Provide funding to ensure the health and safety of all Georgian’s through the construction,
rehabilitation or enhancement of facilities necessary to respond to and prevent further spread of
COVID-19. This may include, but not be limited to, facilities for vaccine storage, distribution of
vaccines, public health departments, or any other facility the Department deems necessary to
prevent, prepare for or respond to COVID-19.
To date, the State of Georgia has received three rounds of CARES Act funding totaling $ 82,850,607.
A portion of the funds will be used for the administrative costs incurred by the State and its grantees.
Public Comments: The State of Georgia is providing notice for the following public comment period:
• Comment Period to Add CARES Act funding and to modify the CDBG MOD:
A five-day public comment period begins on December 10, 2020 with the posting on the Georgia

Adjustment to 541 Budget
Department:Environmental Services
Department:Environmental Services
Caption:Motion to approve increase to operating expenditure levels for
Environmental Services Department. (Requested by
Administrator Odie Donald)
Background:Landfill operations has experienced increases in infrastructure
maintenance and repair costs and several heavy equipment
repairs that have depleted the current operating budget. Current
projected revenues from Landfill Fees will support an increased
level of expenditures.
Analysis:Proper operation of the Landfill is essential to meeting the
requirements of its permits and providing high quality customer
service. In meeting the requirements of maintaining the
infrastructure and equipment under unusual circumstances, the
Operations budget is overextended. Current revenue projects
(from Commercial Landfill fees) will provide adequate funding
for the requested increase in expenditure levels.
Financial Impact:Increased revenue in the amount of $1,400,000 and use of Fund
Balance in the amount of $500,000 to address the increased level
of expenditures in the amount of $1,900,000.
Alternatives:Do not approve the proposal.
Recommendation:Approve request to increase operating expenditures.

Operations’ objectives to prevent budget Exceedance
Environmental Services has developed objectives with the intent of improving the efficiency of the
Landfill Operations Division. These objectives will have a direct impact on ESD’s operator staff’s
proficiency and operating cost saving.
Bringing in a professional consultant to train staff/equipment operator on current Best Landfill
Practices
Establishing and monitoring metrics to ensure more efficient operations and lower operating cost
Contracting for heavy equipment maintenance and repair (and not filling the 5 vacant positions)
Create an equipment rebuild/replacement schedule that ensures we have a balance between
new/warrantied units and older functional machines
Catching up on deferred infrastructure maintenance (storm water system, intermediate cover,
roads, etc.)
Developing a site master plan to accurately project future expenses and when they will occur
Excess Spending
In several categories, ESD exceeded its budget. The excess spending is due to infrastructure failures and
equipment breakdown/vandalism. Excess spending also includes having to rent equipment for extended
periods, as well as using contract labor to make up for its maintenance personnel shortage. Operating
cost went even higher because of fuel cost increases.
Repairs and Maintenance $1,101,037
Infrastructure
Haul road repair
Haul road fabric formed ditch repair
Detention ponds repair
Erosion repair due to runoff from working face
Landfill Gas Collection Control System Repair – Re-drill gas wells
Equipment

Caterpillar 826 compactor to replace Caterpillar 836 undergoing repair
Page 3 of 3
Contract Labor $312,674
A shortage of in-house equipment maintenance mechanics (5 of 7 fleet positions are vacant) has
resulted in the out-sourcing of most maintenance and repairs of heavy equipment to service
companies
Fuel & Utilities $112,182
Increase in equipment run time
Increase in fuel cost
Increase in leachate discharge volume (due to rainfall and large active area) and higher disposal
cost (due to higher concentrations of contaminants)

Our opinion on the acceptability of the plan's form is a determination as to the qualification of the plan as
adopted by a particular employer only under the circumstances, and to the exlent, described in Revenue
Procedure (Rev. Ptoc.\ 20'.174',1,2017-29 1.R.8.92. The employer who adopts lhis plan can generally rely
on this letter lo the extent described in Rev. Proc. 2017-41 . Thus, Employee Plans Determinations, except as
provided in section 12 of Rev. Proc. 20204,2020-01 l.R.B. 148 (as updated annually), will not issue a
determination letter to an employer who adopts this plan. Review Rev. Proc. 20204 to determine the
eligibility of an adopting employer, and the items needed, to submil a determination letter application. The
employer must also follow the terms of the plan in operation.
Except as provided below, our opinion doesn't apply to the requirements of lRc sections 40'l (ax4), 401(l),
410(b), and 414(s). Our opinion doesn't apply to lRc sections 415 and 416 if an employer maintains or ever
maintained anotirer qualified plan for one or more employees covered by this plan. For this purpose, we will
not consider the employer to have maintained anolher defined contribution plan provided both of the following
are true:
. The employer terminated the other plan belore the effective date of this plan
. No annual additions have been "r"dit"d to "ny
participant's account under the other plan as of any date
within the limitation year of this plan
Also, for this purpose, we'll consider an employer as maintaining another delingd contribution plan, if the

. An individual medical account as defined in IRC Section 415(l)(2), which is part of a pension or annuity plan
maintained by the employer
. A simplified employee pension plan
Our opinion doesn't apply to Treasury Regulations Section 1-401 (a)-1(bX2) requirements for a money
purchase plan or target benefit plan where the normal retirement age under the employe/s plan is lower than
age 62.
Our opinion may not be relied on by a non-electing church plan for rules governing pre-ERISA participation
and coverage.
Our opinion applies to the requirements of IRC Section 410(b) if 100 percent of all non-excludable employees
benefit under the plan.
Employers who choose a safe harbor allocation formula and a safe harbor compensation definition may also
rely on this opinion letter for the non-discriminatory amounts requirement under IRC Section 401(aX4).
lf this plan includes a cash or deferred arrangement (CODA) or otherwise provides for contribulions subject to
IRC Sections 401(k) and/or 401 (m), the employer may rely on the opinion letter regarding the form of the
non-discrimination tests of IRC Sections 40'l (k)(3) and 401(mX2), if the employer uses a safe harbor
compensation definition. For plans described in IRC Sections 401(k)(12) or (13) and/or 401 (mX1 1) or (12),
employers may rely on the opinion letter regarding whether the plan's form satisties the requirements of those
sections unless the plan provides for the safe harbor contribution to be made under another plan. For
SIMPLE plans described in IRC Sections 401(kX1 I ) and 401 (m)(10), employers may also rely on the opinion
letter regarding whether the plan's form salisfies the requirements of those sections.
The provisions of this plan override any conflicting provision contained in the trust or custodial account
documents used with the plan, and an adopting employer may not rely on this letter to the extent that
provisions of a trust or custodial account that are a separate portion of the plan override or conflict with the
provisions of the plan document. This opinion Ietter does not cover any provisions in trust or custodial account
documents.
An employer who adopts this plan may not rely on this letter when:
. the plan is being used to amend or restate a plan of the employer which was not previously qualified
. the employer's adoption of the plan precedes the issuance of the letter
. the employer doesn't correctly complete the adoption agreement or other elective provisions in the plan
. the plan is not identical to the pre-approved plan (that is, the employer has made amendments that cause
the pian not to be considered identical to the pre-approved plan, as described in Section 8.03 of Rev. Proc.
201741].
Our opinion doesn't apply to what is contained in any documents referenced outside the plan or adoption
agreement, if applicable, such as a collective bargaining agreement.
Our opinion doesn't consider issues under Title I of the Employee Retirement lncome Security Act (ERISA)
which are administered by the Department of Labor.
lf you, the pre-approved plan provider, have questions about the status of this case, you can call the
teiephone number at the top of the first page of this letter. This number is only for the provider's use.
Our opinion doesn't constitute a determination that the plan is an IRC Section 414(d) governmental plan.
This letter is not a ruling with respect to the tax treatment to be given contributions which are picked up by the
governmental employing unit within the meaning of IRC Section 414(hX2).
Our opinion doesn't constitute a determination that the plan is an IRC Section 414(e) church plan.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES
TO THE RESTATED
GEORGIA MUNICIPAL ASSOCIATION
401(a) DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN
I. GENERAL OVERVIEW
On June 30, 2020, the IRS issued a favorable advisory letter for the Pre-Approved
Georgia Municipal Association 401(a) Defined Contribution Plan ("401(a) DC Plan"). The
401(a) DC Plan, as approved, is intended to comply with Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a),
additional changes in federal law and guidance from the Internal Revenue Service Notice 2017-
37 (the 2017 Cumulative List). As a result of these changes, each Employer is required to adopt
an updated GMA 401(a) DC Plan Adoption Agreement and Addendum, if applicable.
II. SUMMARY OF CHANGES TO THE MASTER PLAN DOCUMENT
The following summarizes the changes in the restated 401(a) DC Master Plan document:
❖ Incorporates previous amendments to the Master Plan document.
❖ Provides that upon a transfer of assets to the GMA DC Plan, the Trustees will
invest the participant’s account in an investment fund(s) which are must similar to
the fund(s) in which the participant’s account was invested under the prior plan
until the participant makes a valid change of investment direction for the assets.
❖ Clarifies that payment options under the plan are in the form of lump sums unless
otherwise permitted by the Administrator.
❖ Provides that if a participant dies without a valid beneficiary designation on file
for the DC Plan and he or she is a participant in the GMA Deferred Compensation
Plan (457(b) Plan), the participant’s beneficiary for purposes of the DC Plan will
be the beneficiary who was most recently designated under the 457(b) Plan. If the
participant dies without a valid beneficiary designation on file for either the DC
Plan or the 457(b) Plan, the benefit payment will be made to the participant’s
surviving spouse, and if there is no surviving spouse to the participant’s estate in a
lump sum.
❖ Adds the option for employers to freeze participation in the DC Plan. Previously,
the only option was to terminate the DC Plan.
III. SUMMARY OF CHANGES TO THE ADOPTION AGREEMENT
The following summarizes the changes in the restated 401(a) DC Adoption Agreement:
❖ Specifies that the minimum hour requirement, if applicable, only applies to
common law employees of the employer and does not apply to elected or
appointed officials.
❖ Eliminates the payroll period section to provide flexibility to employers who
modify payroll periods.
❖ Eliminates separate vesting sections for matching and non-matching employer
contributions. One vesting section now applies to all types of employer
contributions.
❖ Removes references to the GMEBS Defined Benefit Plan.
As has been the case in the past, all amendments were approved by the Board of Trustees
of the GMA DCDC Program prior to implementation.

RESOLUTION OF THE
BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE
GEORGIA MUNICIPAL EMPLOYEES BENEFIT SYSTEM
AMENDMENT 2 TO THE RESTATED GMEBS DEFINED BENEFIT RETIREMENT PLAN WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees (“Board”) of the Georgia Municipal Employees
Benefit System (“GMEBS”) previously adopted the GMEBS Defined Benefit Retirement Plan
("Plan"), which most recently received a favorable advisory level from the IRS on March 30, 2018
and was most recently amended by the Board on September 28, 2018;
WHEREAS, the Board has reserved the right to amend the Plan on behalf of Participating
Employers in order to retain the qualified status of the Plan in Section 18.02 of the Master Plan
Document; and
WHEREAS, the Trustees now wish to amend the Plan to implement applicable provisions
of the Bipartisan American Miners Act of 2019 concerning the minimum age for In-Service
Distribution, and the SECURE Act of 2019 concerning the beginning age for required minimum
distributions.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, this Amendment 2 is hereby adopted to
amend the Master Plan effective as set forth herein:
1. Section 6.06(a)(3) of the Master Plan, regarding In-Service Distribution, is
amended to reduce the minimum age for In-Service Distribution from sixty-two (62) to fifty-nine
and one-half (59 ½) for Plan Years starting on or after January 1, 2020, as follows:
(3) Minimum Age Parameters for In-Service Distribution. In order to commence or continue receiving Normal or Alternative Normal Retirement benefits without a Bona Fide Separation from Service, if permitted under the Employer's Plan, a
Participant shall be required to satisfy the following minimum age and other requirements:
(A) For a Participant who is not a "public safety employee" at the time he applies for Normal or Alternative Normal Retirement benefits (and a Participant who is a public safety employee at the time he applies for Normal or Alternative Normal Retirement benefits unless subparagraph 6.06(a)(3)(B) below applies), for
Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2020, the Participant must be at least
2
age sixty-twofifty-nine and one half (59 ½ 62) (or such lower age specified under
applicable federal law as a safe-harbor age for distributions during working retirement) to receive an In-Service Distribution. For Plan Years beginning before January 1, 2020, the minimum age described herein was sixty-two (or such lower age specified under applicable federal law as a safe-harbor age for distributions
during working retirement).
(B) For a Participant who is a "public safety employee" in the service of the Employer at the time he applies for Normal or Alternative Normal Retirement benefits, the Participant must be at least age sixty-twofifty-nine and one half (59 ½ 62) (or such lower age specified under applicable federal law as a safe-harbor age
for distributions during working retirement) to receive an In-Service Distribution;
provided, however, that for Plan Years beginning before January 1, 2020, the minimum age described herein was sixty-two (or such lower age specified under applicable federal law as a safe-harbor age for distributions during working retirement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Adopting Employer's Plan
provides for a Normal Retirement Age or Alternative Normal Retirement Age
which applies only to public safety employees and which is at least age fifty (50) (or such lower age specified under applicable federal law as a safe-harbor age for distributions during working retirement), the Participant may receive an In-Service Distribution as long as he is at least such age. For purposes of this subparagraph
(B), "public safety employees" are employees of the Adopting Employer who
provide police protection, firefighting services, or emergency medical services for any area within the jurisdiction of the Adopting Employer. (C) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, effective for Employees hired during Plan Years beginning on or after the later of: January 1,
2017; or the close of the first regular legislative session of the legislative body with
the authority to amend the plan that begins on or after the date that is 3 months after the final regulations are published in the Federal Register, the Plan will comply with the final Normal Retirement age regulations applicable to governmental plans established in Treas. Reg. 1.401(a) – 1, as amended.
2. Section 10.01(b), concerning distribution rules imposed by federal law, are
amended to update the age for a Participant’s required beginning date, as follows:
(b) A Participant's entire interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, to the
Participant no later than the Participant's required beginning date. For purposes of this Section, "required beginning date" means April 1 of the calendar year following the later of (i) the calendar year in which the Participant reaches age seventy-two (72) (age seventy and one-half (70½) for distributions required to be made before January 1, 2020, with respect to a member who would
have attained age 70½ before January 1, 2020), or (ii) the calendar year in which the Participant
Retires.
3
3. Section 10.01(c)(1), concerning distribution rules imposed by federal law, are
amended to update the Participant’s age for the purpose of distributions to his or her surviving
spouse when said surviving spouse is the sole Designated Beneficiary, as follows:
(c) If the Participant dies before distributions begin, the Participant's entire interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, no later than as follows: (1) If the Participant's surviving spouse is the Participant's sole designated beneficiary, then distributions to the surviving spouse will begin by December 31 of the
calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died, or by
December 31 of the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained age seventy-two (72) (age seventy and one-half (70½) for distributions required to be made before January 1, 2020, with respect to a member who would have attained age 70½ before January 1, 2020), if later.
RESOLVED FURTHER by the Board that the appropriate officers and employees of
GMA or the Administrator are authorized to take any and all actions that they deem appropriate or
necessary to effectuate the foregoing resolutions on behalf of the Board, including but not limited
to making non-substantive modifications to Plan documents as necessary, and that all prior actions
taken in effectuating the Restated Plan documents and cooperation with IRS requests and
directives are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects.
The terms of this Resolution are approved and agreed to by the Board of Trustees of the

ARTICLE IV - CONTRIBUTIONS
4.01 Contributions. Contributions shall be made to the Plan in accordance with this
Article, the Adoption Agreement, and subject to the limitations under Article V. A Participating
Employer shall specify in the Adoption Agreement whether it will make Matching Contributions
and/or non-Matching Contributions. Matching Contributions shall be made to match all or a
portion of the Participant's contributions to a Deferred Compensation Plan, in accordance with
the formula and method specified by the Participating Employer in the Adoption Agreement.
Non-Matching Contributions are not tied to Participant contributions to a Deferred
Compensation Plan and shall be made in accordance with the formula and method specified by
the Participating Employer in the Adoption Agreement.
The Adoption Agreement establishing the amount and method of calculating
contributions continues in effect from Plan Year to Plan Year until amended or repealed by the
Governing Authority or until the Participating Employer's participation in the Plan is terminated.
-9- GMA 401(a) DC Plan
4.02 Matching Contributions. If the Adoption Agreement provides for Matching
Contributions, the Governing Authority shall determine and specify in the Adoption Agreement
the formula for calculating the Matching Contributions, which may be all or a specified portion
of a Participant's contribution to a Deferred Compensation Plan. In the Adoption Agreement, the
Participating Employer may establish different classes of Participants who are eligible or
ineligible to receive Matching Contributions. The Employer may also establish different
Matching Contribution amounts or formulas applicable to different classes of Eligible
Employees.

Period for which the Participant does not have an effective payroll deferral to a Deferred
Compensation Plan for that Payroll Period.
4.04 Non-Matching Contributions. If the Adoption Agreement provides for
Non-Matching Contributions, the Governing Authority shall determine and specify in the
Adoption Agreement the formula for calculating the Non-Matching Contributions, which may be
a fixed amount or a specified portion of a Participant's Compensation. In the Adoption
Agreement, the Participating Employer may establish different classes of Participants who are
eligible or ineligible to receive Non-Matching Contributions. The Employer may also establish
different Non-Matching Contribution amounts or formulas applicable to different classes of
Eligible Employees.
-10- GMA 401(a) DC Plan
4.05 Eligibility for Non-Matching Contributions. If the Adoption Agreement
provides for Employer Non-Matching Contributions, a Participant shall be eligible for
Non-Matching Contributions only if the Participant meets the conditions set forth in the
Adoption Agreement.
4.06 Changes in Employer Contributions. A Participating Employer may adjust the
amount or method of Employer Contributions throughout the Plan Year by adopting a resolution
to amend its Adoption Agreement in accordance with Section 20.02. The resolution must be sent
to the Administrator. The Trustees must approve or disapprove the amendment and, if approved,
establish the effective date of any change to the Employer Contributions.
4.07 Employee Contributions, Rollovers, and Transfers. Employee contributions
under the Plan are not required or permitted. However, a Participant may rollover eligible
rollover distributions to the Participant's Rollover Account, pursuant to Article XIV. In addition,
the Plan may accept transfers to a Participant's Transfer Account, pursuant to Article XV.
4.08 Remittance of Contributions. The Employer Contributions shall be paid as
specified in the Adoption Agreement. All amounts of Employer Contributions under the Plan
shall be transferred by the Participating Employers to the Trust within the time limits described
in this Section. Contributions shall first be remitted to the Trust only after the Employer's
Adoption Agreement is approved by the Trustees. Upon approval of the Adoption Agreement,
the Trustees shall specify the date Employer Contributions are to commence. In no event shall
contributions under the Plan be transferred by the Participating Employer to the Trust later than
fifteen (15) business days after the Payroll Period specified in the Adoption Agreement or after
the end of the Plan Year with respect to Employer Contributions made on a Plan Year basis.
-11- GMA 401(a) DC Plan
4.09 Delinquent Contributions. It is the Participating Employer's responsibility to
correctly calculate and timely remit the appropriate Employer Contributions. The Administrator
reserves the right to give notice to the highest elected official, the designated representative of
the Employer and/or the Eligible Employees of the delinquent Participating Employer in the
event it comes to the Administrator's attention that Employer Contributions are not being
remitted in a timely manner or that Employer Contributions are otherwise not being made in
accordance with the terms of the Plan or in accordance with state or federal law or regulation.
Neither GMA, the Trustees, nor the Administrator have any liability for the delinquency
of a Participating Employer or for a Participating Employer's failure to make Employer
Contributions in accordance with the terms of the Plan or in accordance with state or federal law
or regulation.
ARTICLE V - LIMITATIONS ON CONTRIBUTIONS
5.01 Applicability of Article. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the
contrary, contributions to the Plan and additions to Accounts of Participants shall be limited as
provided in Code Section 415 as provided in this Article.
5.02 Limitation under Code Section 415. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to
the contrary, the following limitations shall apply:
(a) To the extent required under Code Section 415(c), in no event shall the "annual
addition," as defined in this Section for a Participant for any limitation year, exceed the lesser of:
(1) Forty Thousand Dollars ($40,000), as adjusted for cost of living under
Code Section 415(d) ($55,000 for 2017); or
(2) One hundred percent (100%) of Compensation (as defined in Article I)
actually paid or includable in gross income during such limitation year. Compensation
also includes certain additional amounts if paid no later than 2½ months after severance
-12- GMA 401(a) DC Plan
from employment or the end of the calendar year that includes a Participant's severance
from employment that, absent a severance from employment, would have been paid to
the Participant while the Participant continued in employment with the Participating
Employer. Such additional amounts include regular compensation for services during the
Participant's regular working hours or compensation for services outside the Participant's
regular work hours (such as overtime or shift differential), commissions, bonuses, or
other similar payments; and, payments for unused accrued bona fide sick, vacation or
other leave, but only if the Participant would have been able to use the leave if
employment had continued. Any payment to a Participant paid by the Participating
Employer not described above is not considered compensation if paid after severance
from employment, even if it is paid within 2½ months following severance from
employment.
An Employee who is in qualified military service (within the meaning of Internal
Revenue Code Section 414(u)(1)) shall be treated as receiving compensation from the
Participating Employer during such period of qualified military service equal to (i) the
compensation the Employee would have received during such period if the Employee
were not in qualified military service, determined based on the rate of pay the Employee
would have received from the Participating Employer but for the absence during the
period of qualified military service, or (ii) if the compensation the Employee would have
received during such period was not reasonably certain, the Employee's average
compensation from the Participating Employer during the twelve month period
immediately preceding the qualified military service (or, if shorter, the period of
employment immediately preceding the qualified military service).
-13- GMA 401(a) DC Plan
Compensation of each Participant shall not exceed the applicable limit established
by Code Section 401(a)(17) as of the first day of the limitation year, as increased for the
cost of living adjustment ($275,000 for 2017). The cost of living adjustment in effect for
a limitation year applies to compensation for the Plan Year that begins with or within
such limitation year.
(b) The Plan shall be administered so as to comply with the limitations of Code
Section 415.
(c) For purposes of this Section, all defined contribution plans of a Participating
Employer are to be treated as a single defined contribution plan. However, each Participating
Employer is to be considered as a separate employer.
(d) Any corrections required under this Article V may be made pursuant to the IRS
Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System. For limitation years prior to July 1, 2007, if
the annual addition for a Participant under the Plan, determined without regard to the limitation
of paragraph (a), would have been greater than the annual addition for such Participant as
limited by paragraph (a), then the excess, if due to a reasonable error in estimating
compensation or such other circumstances as found by the Secretary of the Treasury to justify
application of this paragraph, shall be reduced, to the extent necessary to satisfy such limitation
by holding the excess unallocated in a suspense account and using it to reduce Participating
Employer contributions in subsequent Plan Years.
(e) For purposes of this Section, "annual addition" means the annual addition as
defined in Code Section 415(c) and as modified in Code Sections 415(l)(1) and 419A(d)(2). In
general, Code Section 415(c) defines the annual addition as the sum of the following amounts
-14- GMA 401(a) DC Plan
credited to a Participant's accounts for the limitation year under this Plan and any other defined
contribution plan maintained by a Participating Employer:
(1) employer contributions;
(2) employee contributions;
(3) forfeitures;
(4) amounts allocated to an individual medical account, as defined in §
415(1)(2) of the Code, which is part of a pension or annuity plan maintained by the
employer are treated as annual additions to a defined contribution plan. Also amounts
derived from contributions paid or accrued which are attributable to post-retirement
medical benefits, allocated to the separate account of a key employee, as defined in §
419A(d)(3) of the Code, under a welfare benefit fund, as defined in § 419(e) of the Code,
maintained by the employer are treated as annual additions to a defined contribution plan;
and
(5) allocations under a simplified employee pension.
(f) For purposes of this Section, limitation year means the calendar year.
5.03 Participating Employer Responsibility for Contribution Limits. The
Participating Employer must monitor contributions to the Plan on behalf of a Participant to this
Plan and any other 401(a) plan maintained by the Participating Employer to determine
compliance with this Article. The Participating Employer must cease contributions to avoid
exceeding the limits of Section 5.02 and must notify the Administrator if excess annual additions
are made. The Participating Employer may amend the Adoption Agreement to the extent
necessary to satisfy Code Section 415.
-15- GMA 401(a) DC Plan
ARTICLE VI - ACCOUNTS AND REPORTS
6.01 Account. The Administrator shall maintain applicable Accounts within the
Participant's Account with respect to each Participant which may include: the Employer
Contribution Account, the Employer Matching Contribution Account, the Employer
Non-Matching Contribution Account, the Rollover Account, and the Transfer Account. The
Administrator may establish an Employer Matching Contribution Account and an Employer
Non-Matching Contribution Account, consistent with the Participating Employer's elections in
the Addendum to the Adoption Agreement. If established, the Employer Matching Contribution
Account shall be credited with the Participant's Employer Matching Contributions for each
Payroll Period, and the Employer Non-Matching Contribution Account shall be credited with the
Participant's Employer Non-Matching Contributions for each designated period (pursuant to the
Adoption Agreement). If the Administrator does not establish these accounts, Employer
Contributions shall be credited to the Employer Contribution Account. The Rollover Account
shall be credited with the Participant's rollover contributions, if any, under Article XIV. The
Transfer Account shall be credited with the Participant's transfers to the Plan, if any, under
Article XV. The balance of the Participant's Accounts shall be adjusted daily to reflect any
distribution to the Participant and all interest, dividends, account charges and changes of market
value resulting from the investment of the Participant's Accounts. All Plan records, including
individual account information, that are maintained by the Service Manager shall be the
exclusive property of the Administrator. The Administrator may prescribe such minimum
deposits to Participant's Accounts and each investment option for the Participant as it deems
appropriate.
6.02 Statements of Account. A written report of the status of each Participant's
Accounts shall be furnished to the Participant by the Administrator within thirty (30) days after
-16- GMA 401(a) DC Plan
the end of each Plan quarter. All reports to Participants shall be based on the fair market value of
investments credited to Accounts as of the reporting dates. Participant reports shall be deemed to
have been accepted by the Participant as correct unless written notice to the contrary is received
by the Administrator within ninety (90) days after the mailing or distribution of a report to the
Participant.
6.03 Year End Reports. Within ninety (90) days after the end of each Plan Year, a
written report shall be prepared and maintained on file by the Administrator showing the assets
held under the Plan, a schedule of all receipts and disbursements, and all material transactions of
the Plan during the preceding year. This report shall be in a form and shall contain other
information as the Administrator requires. The report shall also contain such information as is
necessary to enable the Trustees to prepare their accounting due under the Trust.
ARTICLE VII - VALUATION OF ACCOUNTS
7.01 Valuation. The Administrator shall value the investments each business day
based on acceptable industry practices. All daily transactions shall be based on that day's closing
market values.
7.02 Deposits. In all cases, deposits of contributions shall be treated as actually made
only as of the date the funds are accepted as in good order by the Administrator.
7.03 Report from Administrator to Trustees. The Administrator shall provide a
report to the Trustees concerning the valuation of Accounts quarterly.
ARTICLE VIII - TRUST
8.01 Trust Status. All assets held in connection with the Plan, including all
contributions to the Plan, all property and rights acquired or purchased with such amounts and all
income attributable to such amounts, property or rights shall be held in trust for the exclusive
benefit of Participants and their Beneficiaries under the Plan. No part of the assets and income
-17- GMA 401(a) DC Plan
of the Plan shall be used for, or diverted to, purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of
Participants and their Beneficiaries and for defraying reasonable expenses of the Plan. In
resolving any conflict between provisions of the Plan and provisions of the Trust Agreement, the
provisions of the Plan shall control.
8.02 Trust Fund. All amounts of compensation deferred pursuant to the Plan, all
property and rights acquired or purchased with such amounts and all income attributable to such
amounts, property or rights held as part of the Plan, shall be transferred to the Trustees to be
held, managed, invested and distributed as part of the Trust Fund in accordance with the
provisions of the Plan and the Trust Agreement. All contributions to the Plan must be
transferred by the Participating Employers to the Trust Fund. All benefits under the Plan shall be
distributed solely from the Trust Fund pursuant to the Plan.
ARTICLE IX - INVESTMENT OF ACCOUNTS
9.01 Investment Options. From time to time, the Trustees shall determine the
available Investment Funds for Participants (or Beneficiaries upon the death of the Participant).
The Participants may direct the investment of their Accounts among the Investment Funds
selected by the Trustees. Unless otherwise directed by the Participant (or Beneficiary), in
accordance with procedures established by the Service Manager, a Participant's (or Beneficiary's)
Rollover Account and Transfer Account shall be invested in the same manner as the Participant's
(or Beneficiary's) Employer Contribution Account; if a Participant has both an Employer
Matching Contribution Account and Employer Non-Matching Contribution Account with
different investment directives, the investment directive of the Matching Contribution Account
shall be applied. The Administrator shall follow the Participants' (or Beneficiaries') directions
with respect to the investment of the Accounts, except that the Administrator shall direct the
-18- GMA 401(a) DC Plan
investment of a Participant’s (or Beneficiary's) Account to a default investment pursuant to
Section 9.02 when there is no valid investment direction on file.
9.02 Investment Default Option. In the event that a Participant does not have a valid
investment direction on file for any portion of the amount in that Participant's Account, that
portion of the Account shall be invested in any default option or options as determined by the
Trustees. In such event, the Participant shall be deemed to have directed that option (or options)
for investment of such portion of their Account. The Trustees intend to establish one or more
default options based upon various factors, including but not limited to, market risk, stability and
rate of return. If the Trustees have appropriately exercised their fiduciary duty in selecting a
default option(s), they have no liability for any loss sustained by a Participant or Beneficiary
whose Account in whole or in part is invested in the default option(s). If an Employer directs the
transfer of all assets under a superseded plan to this Plan and any or all of the investment funds
under the superseded plan are not available under this Plan, the Trustees will invest the
Participant's Account in any default option or options as determined by the Trustees, until the
Participant makes a valid change of investment direction for such assets.
ARTICLE X - VESTING

-19- GMA 401(a) DC Plan
the complete discontinuance of the Employer's contributions to the Plan, the Participant shall be
100% Vested in all the Participant's Accounts.
10.02 Forfeitures. If a Participant has a Separation from Service, the Participant's
non-vested Employer Contributions shall be forfeited as of the date of the Participant's
Separation from Service. The Employer is responsible for reporting forfeitures to the
Administrator when they occur. Amounts forfeited during a calendar year shall be used to
reduce or otherwise supplement Employer Contributions no later than the last day of the second
month following the end of the calendar year, or, if there are no Employer Contributions (such as
in a frozen plan), shall be used for administrative expenses and, if forfeitures remain, allocated to
remaining Participants' Accounts.
ARTICLE XI - BENEFITS
11.01 Benefit Payments. Benefits shall be paid from the Trust Fund in accordance with
this Article. Benefits payable to a Participant or a Beneficiary (or estate, if applicable) shall be
based upon the value of the Participant's Account.
(a) Separation from Service. Upon Separation from Service, a Participant may elect
to have benefits commence on a date which is no later than the required beginning date under
Code Section 401(a)(9), as specified in Article XII. All benefits shall be paid under a payment
option under Section 11.02, subject to the restrictions in Article XII.
(b) Death. In the event of the Participant's death prior to the commencement of
benefits under paragraph (a), the value of the Participant's Account shall be paid to the
Beneficiary under a payment option elected by the Beneficiary under Section 11.02, subject to
the restrictions in Article XII. Such benefits shall be payable commencing within sixty (60) days
after receipt by the Administrator of satisfactory proof of the Participant's death. However, if the
Beneficiary is the spouse of the Participant, then the spouse may elect, within sixty (60) days of
-20- GMA 401(a) DC Plan
the Participant's death, to defer distribution to a date not later than the Participant's required
beginning date as specified in Section 12.06(e). In the event of the Participant's death after
commencement of benefits, benefits shall be paid subject to Article XII.
(c) Disability. Upon Separation from Service with the Participating Employer
because of Disability, a Participant may elect to have benefits commence on a date which is no
later than the required beginning date under Code Section 401(a)(9), as specified in Article XII.
A Participant who is on leave without pay who becomes Disabled within the first six (6) months
of the leave shall be considered to have Separated from Service on account of Disability. The
commencement date must meet the required distribution commencement date provisions of Code
Section 401(a)(9) as specified in Article XII. All benefits shall be paid under a payment option
under Section 11.02, subject to the restrictions in Article XII.
11.02 Payment Options. The election of a payment option by a Participant or a
Beneficiary under Section 11.01 must be made no later than thirty (30) days before the
commencement of such benefits. Subject to restrictions established by the Administrator, the
Plan shall permit payment options in the form of lump sums and may permit a Participant to
elect payment over the life of the Participant; over the life of the Participant and a designated
Beneficiary; over a period certain not extending beyond the life expectancy of the participant; or
over a period certain not extending beyond the joint life and last survivor expectancy of the
Participant and a designated Beneficiary. Absent such an election, the Account will be paid in a
lump sum.
11.03 Lump Sum Settlement. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, if
a Participant's Account balance is not greater than $5,000 (or such other lesser amount as
determined by the Trustees with respect to the Plan Years of Participating Employers following
-21- GMA 401(a) DC Plan
the determination) at the time of Separation from Service, the Administrator may effect a lump
sum distribution of the Participant's Account, regardless of a Participant’s or Beneficiary’s
direction. Effective for distributions made on or after March 28, 2005, if a lump sum distribution
to be made under this Section is greater than $1,000 and it is an eligible rollover distribution, and
if the recipient of the distribution does not elect to have the distribution paid directly to an
eligible retirement plan specified by the recipient in a direct rollover or does not elect to receive
the distribution directly, then the Administrator will pay the distribution in a direct rollover to an
individual retirement plan designated by the Administrator.
11.04 Designated Beneficiary.
(a) A Participant shall have the right to file with the Administrator an Applicable
Form designating the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries who shall receive the benefits payable under
the Plan in the event of the Participant's death. No Beneficiary designation shall take effect until
an Applicable Form is completed by the Participant and received and accepted by the
Administrator.
(b) A Participant shall have the right to designate at least one primary and at least one
contingent Beneficiary and to indicate whether the Beneficiaries in each class are to share
equally or according to specified percentages. If a Beneficiary predeceases the Participant, the
surviving Beneficiaries in the same class (i.e., primary or contingent) will share among each
other all benefits in the same proportion as originally designated by the Participant. A contingent
Beneficiary shall receive benefit payments only if there is no surviving primary Beneficiary.
(c) If the Participant dies without a valid Beneficiary designation on file for this Plan
and he or she is a participant in the GMA Deferred Compensation Plan, the Participant's
Beneficiary or Beneficiaries for purposes of the GMA Deferred Compensation Plan, if any, shall
-22- GMA 401(a) DC Plan
be the Participant's Beneficiary or Beneficiaries under this Plan. If the Participant dies without a
valid Beneficiary designation on file for this Plan or for the GMA Deferred Compensation Plan,
the benefit payment shall be made to the Participant's surviving spouse, in which case the
Participant’s surviving spouse shall be the designated Beneficiary under the Plan. If there is no
surviving spouse, the benefits shall be paid to the Participant’s estate in a lump sum. In the event
of the death of a Beneficiary after the Beneficiary has become entitled to receive benefits, the
remaining benefits allocable to such Beneficiary shall be paid to the estate of the Beneficiary in a
lump sum.
(d) The Beneficiary designation may be changed by the Participant on the Applicable
Form at any time prior to the date benefits commence. Only the last designation of a Beneficiary
prior to the date benefits commence shall have effect, and any new designation of a Beneficiary
invalidates, supersedes, and revokes any prior designation, provided it is made on an Applicable
Form completed by the Participant and received and accepted by the Administrator.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, a Beneficiary designation for this Plan shall
control distribution of benefits payable under this Plan over a subsequent Beneficiary designation
for the GMA Deferred Compensation Plan.
ARTICLE XII - MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION RULES
12.01 Precedence. The requirements of this Article will take precedence over any
inconsistent provisions of the Plan.
12.02 Requirements of Treasury Regulations. All distributions required under this
Article will be determined and made in accordance with Code Section 401(a)(9) and the
Treasury regulations Sections 1.401(a)(9)-2 through 1.401(a)(9)-9 thereunder, including the
incidental death benefit rules under Code Section 401(a)(9)(G).
12.03 Time and Manner of Distribution.
-23- GMA 401(a) DC Plan
(a) The Participant's entire interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, to
the Participant not later than the Participant's Required Beginning Date.
(b) If the Participant dies before distributions begin, the Participant's entire interest
will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, no later than as follows:
(1) If the Participant's surviving spouse is the Participant's sole Designated
Beneficiary, then distributions to the surviving spouse will begin by December 31 of the
calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died, or
by December 31 of the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained age 70
½, if later.
(2) If the Participant's surviving spouse is not the Participant's sole Designated
Beneficiary, then distributions to the Designated Beneficiary may be made by lump sum,
and distribution must be made no later than December 31 of the calendar year containing
the fifth anniversary of the Participant's death.
(3) If there is no Designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year
following the year of the Participant's death, the Participant's entire interest will be
distributed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the
Participant's death.
(4) If the Participant's surviving spouse is the Participant's sole Designated
Beneficiary and the surviving spouse dies after the Participant but before distributions to
the surviving spouse are required to begin, this subsection (b), other than
subsection (b)(1), will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant.
For purposes of this subsection (b) and Section 12.05, unless subsection (b)(4) of this
Section applies, distributions are considered to begin on the Participant's Required Beginning
-24- GMA 401(a) DC Plan
Date. If subsection (b)(4) of this Section applies, distributions are considered to begin on the
date the distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under subsection (b)(1) of this
Section. If distributions under an annuity purchased from an insurance company irrevocably
commence to the Participant before the Participant's Required Beginning Date (or to the
Participant's surviving spouse before the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving
spouse under subsection (b)(1) of this Section), the date distributions are considered to begin is
the date distributions actually commence.
(c) Unless the Participant's interest is distributed in the form of an annuity purchased
from an insurance company or in a single sum on or before the Required Beginning Date, as of
the first Distribution Calendar Year distributions will be made in accordance with
Sections 12.04 or 12.05. If the Participant's interest is distributed in the form of an annuity
purchased from an insurance company, distributions thereunder will be made in accordance
with the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(9) and the Treasury regulations. Annuity
payments must commence on or before the Participant's Required Beginning Date. The first
payment, which must be made on or before the Participant's required beginning date, must be
the payment which is required for one payment interval. The second payment need not be made
until the end of the next payment interval even if that payment interval ends in the next calendar
year. Payment intervals are the periods for which payments are received, e.g., bimonthly,
monthly, semi-annually, or annually.
(d) Once payments have begun over a period certain, the period certain cannot be
changed except in the limited circumstances described in Section 1.401(a)(9)-6, Q&A-13, of the
Treasury regulations.
-25- GMA 401(a) DC Plan
(e) A participant's benefit may be distributed in a lump sum to purchase an annuity
from an insurance company. All annuity payments (whether paid over an Participant's life, joint
lives, or a period certain) must be either nonincreasing or increase only in accordance with
Section 1.401(a)(9)-6, Q&A-14, of the Treasury regulations.
12.04 Required Minimum Distribution During Participant's Lifetime.
(a) During the Participant's lifetime, the minimum amount that will be distributed for
each Distribution Calendar Year is the lesser of:
(1) The quotient obtained by dividing the Participant's Account Balance by
the distribution period in the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9,
Q&A-2, of the Treasury regulations, using the Participant's age as of the Participant's
birthday in the Distribution Calendar Year; or
(2) If the Participant's sole Designated Beneficiary for the Distribution
Calendar Year is the Participant's spouse, the quotient obtained by dividing the
Participant's Account Balance by the number in the Joint and Last Survivor Table set
forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9, Q&A-3, of the Treasury regulations, using the Participant's
and spouse's attained ages as of the Participant's and spouse's birthdays in the
Distribution Calendar Year.
(b) Required minimum distributions will be determined under this Section beginning
with the first Distribution Calendar Year and up to and including the Distribution Calendar Year
that includes the Participant's date of death.
-26- GMA 401(a) DC Plan
12.05 Required Minimum Distributions After Participant's Death.
(a) Death on or After Date Distributions Begin.
(1) If the Participant dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is a
Designated Beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each
Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant's death is the quotient
obtained by dividing the Participant's Account Balance by the longer of the remaining
Life Expectancy of the Participant or the remaining Life Expectancy of the Participant's
Designated Beneficiary, determined as follows:
(i) The Participant's remaining Life Expectancy is calculated using the
age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent
year.
(ii) If the Participant's surviving spouse is the Participant's sole
Designated Beneficiary, the remaining Life Expectancy of the surviving spouse is
calculated for each Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant's
death using the surviving spouse's age as of the spouse's birthday in that year. For
Distribution Calendar Years after the year of the surviving spouse's death, the
remaining Life Expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated using the age of
the surviving spouse as of the spouse's birthday in the calendar year of the
spouse's death, reduced by one for each subsequent calendar year.
(iii) If the Participant's surviving spouse is not the Participant's sole
Designated Beneficiary, the Designated Beneficiary's remaining Life Expectancy
is calculated using the age of the Beneficiary in the year following the year of the
Participant's death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.
-27- GMA 401(a) DC Plan
(2) If the Participant dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is
no Designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year after the year of the
Participant's death, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each Distribution
Calendar Year after the year of the Participant's death is the quotient obtained by dividing
the Participant's Account Balance by the Participant's remaining Life Expectancy
calculated using the age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each
subsequent year.
(b) Death Before Date Distributions Begin.
(1) If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is a
Designated Beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each
Distribution Calendar Year after the year of the Participant's death is the quotient
obtained by dividing the Participant's Account Balance by the remaining Life Expectancy

this Section.
(2) If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is no

December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant's
death.

Participant.
(c) Death After Required Minimum Distributions Begin. If distributions begin on the
Participant's Required Beginning Date and the Participant dies before his or her entire interest
has been distributed, the remaining portion of such interest must be distributed at least as
rapidly as under the distribution method being used as of the date of the Participant's death.

(a) Notwithstanding the other requirements of this Article distribution on behalf of
any Participant who has made a designation under section 242(b)(2) of the Tax Equity and
Fiscal Responsibility Act (a "section 242(b)(2) election") may be made in accordance with all of
the following requirements (regardless of when such distribution commences):
(1) The distribution by the Plan is one which would not have disqualified such
Plan under Code section 401(a)(9) as in effect prior to amendment by the Deficit
Reduction Act of 1984.
(2) The distribution is in accordance with a method of distribution designated
by the Participant whose interest in the Plan is being distributed or, if the Participant is
deceased, by a Beneficiary of such Participant.
-30- GMA 401(a) DC Plan
(3) Such designation was in writing, was signed by the Participant or the
Beneficiary, and was made before January 1, 1984.
(4) The Participant had accrued a benefit under the Plan as of December 31,
1983.
(5) The method of distribution designated by the Participant or the
Beneficiary specifies the time at which distribution will commence, the period over
which distributions will be made, and in the case of any distribution upon the
Participant's death, the Beneficiaries of the Participant listed in order of priority.
(b) A distribution upon death will not be covered by this transitional rule unless the
information in the designation contains the required information described above with respect to
the distributions to be made upon the death of the Participant.
(c) For any distribution which commences before January 1, 1984, but continues after
December 31, 1983, the Participant or the Beneficiary, to whom such distribution is being
made, will be presumed to have designated the method of distribution under which the
distribution is being made if the method of distribution was specified in writing and the
distribution satisfies the requirements in subsections 12.08 (a)(1) and (5).
(d) If a designation is revoked, any subsequent distribution must satisfy the
requirements of Code section 401(a)(9) and the regulations thereunder. If a designation is
revoked subsequent to the date distributions are required to begin, the Plan must distribute, by
the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the revocation occurs, the total
amount not yet distributed which would have been required to have been distributed to satisfy
Code section 401(a)(9) and the regulations thereunder, but for the section 242(b)(2) election.
For calendar years beginning after December 31, 1988, such distributions must meet the
-31- GMA 401(a) DC Plan
minimum distribution incidental benefit requirements. Any changes in the designation will be
considered to be a revocation of the designation. However, the mere substitution or addition of
another Beneficiary (one not named in the designation) under the designation will not be
considered to be a revocation of the designation, so long as such substitution or addition does
not alter the period over which distributions are to be made under the designation, directly or
indirectly (for example, by altering the relevant measuring life).
(e) In the case in which an amount is transferred or rolled over from one plan to
another plan, the rules in Treasury Regulation section 1.401(a)(9)-8, Q&A-14 and Q&A-15,
shall apply.
12.08 No Expansion of Payment Options. Nothing in this Article shall provide any
individual entitled to a benefit under this Plan a benefit or payment option to which such
individual would not otherwise be entitled pursuant to the provisions of the Plan.

ARTICLE XIII - ELIGIBLE ROLLOVER FROM THIS PLAN
13.01 Plan Distributions and Withholding Requirements. Notwithstanding any
provision of the Plan to the contrary that would otherwise limit a Distributee's election under this
Section, a Distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Administrator,
to have any portion of an Eligible Rollover Distribution paid directly to an Eligible Retirement
Plan specified by the Distributee in a Direct Rollover.
13.02 Definitions. The following definitions shall apply to this Article:
(a) An "Eligible Rollover Distribution" is any distribution under Article XI of all or
any portion of the balance to the credit of the Distributee, except that an Eligible Rollover
Distribution does not include: (i) any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal
periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the

Distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the Distributee and the Distributee's
designated Beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten (10) years or more; (ii) any distribution to
the extent such distribution is required under Code Section 401(a)(9); or (iii) the portion of any

rollover to either (1) a traditional individual retirement account or individual retirement annuity
under Code Sections 408(a) or 408(b) or a Roth individual account or annuity described under
Code Section 408A or (2) a qualified trust which is part of a plan which is a defined contribution
plan under Code Sections 401(a) or 403(b) that will separately account for the distribution,
including the taxable and non-taxable portions of the distribution, in a direct trustee-to-trustee
transfer.

after December 18, 2015, to a SIMPLE IRA described in Code Section 408(p) that has been
established for at least two years. The definition of Eligible Retirement Plan shall also apply in
the case of a distribution to a surviving spouse, or to a spouse or former spouse who is the
alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Code Section 414(p).
-33- GMA 401(a) DC Plan
The definition of an Eligible Retirement Plan for a nonspouse designated beneficiary of a

Years beginning on or after December 31, 2009, a nonspouse designated beneficiary (as defined
in section 401(a)(9)(E) of the Code) of a deceased Participant. In addition, the employee's or
former employee's surviving spouse and the employee's or former employee's spouse or former
spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in section
414(p) of the Code, are Distributees with regard to the interest of the spouse or former spouse.

(1) the Administrator clearly informs the Participant that the Participant has a
right to a period of at least 30 days after receiving the notice to consider the decision of
-34- GMA 401(a) DC Plan
whether or not to elect a distribution (and, if applicable, a participant distribution option),
and
(2) the Participant, after receiving a notice, affirmatively elects a distribution.
ARTICLE XIV - ELIGIBLE ROLLOVERS TO THIS PLAN
To the extent permitted by the applicable provisions of the Code and regulations issued
thereunder, a Participant may contribute to the Plan in cash as a rollover contribution a qualified
rollover amount from a qualified plan under Code Section 401(a); an annuity plan under Code
Section 403(a); an individual retirement account or annuity under Code Sections 408(a) or (b); or
an annuity contract under Code Section 403(b); provided that the Administrator, in its discretion,
determines that the contribution satisfies all applicable requirements of the Code. A rollover
contribution shall be allocated to the Rollover Account of the Participant as of the date of the
contribution. The Participant's Rollover Account shall be available for distribution, under the
payment options set forth in Section 11.02, at any time at the direction of the Participant, subject
to any applicable penalties or other distribution requirements under the Code (including, but not
limited to, Article XII).
ARTICLE XV - TRANSFERS
To the extent permitted by the applicable provisions of the Code and regulations issued
thereunder, a Participant may make a plan-to-plan transfer to this Plan from another qualified
plan as provided in this Article. Likewise, to the extent permitted by the applicable provisions of
the Code and regulations issued thereunder, and subject to approval by the Trustees, this Plan
will accept an Employer directed transfer of a Participant's assets from a qualified plan and trust.
Such a Participant-directed or Employer-directed transfer is permitted only if the other plan
provides for the direct transfer of the Participant's interest therein to the Plan. The Administrator
may require in its sole discretion that the transfer be in cash or other property acceptable to the
-35- GMA 401(a) DC Plan
Administrator. The Administrator may require such documentation from the other plan as it
deems necessary to effectuate the transfer and to confirm that the other plan is a qualified plan as
defined in Section 401(a) of the Code. The amount so transferred shall be credited to the
Participant's Transfer Account and shall be held, invested, accounted for, administered and
otherwise treated in the same manner as a rollover contribution under Article XIV, subject to any
applicable distribution requirements or limitations under the Code.
To the extent permitted by the applicable provisions of the Code and regulations issued
thereunder, and subject to approval by the Trustees, a Participating Employer may direct the
transfer of all the assets under its Plan to a successor qualified plan and trust that agrees to accept
such transfer. In the event of such a transfer, each Participant or Beneficiary shall be entitled to
receive (if the plan then terminated) a benefit immediately after the transfer which is not less
than the benefit the Participant or Beneficiary would have been entitled to receive immediately
before the transfer (if the plan had then terminated).
ARTICLE XVI - PARTICIPATING EMPLOYER OBLIGATIONS
Each Participating Employer is required to: (i) remit correct contributions on a timely
basis pursuant to Article IV; (ii) notify the Administrator of any change in the Adoption
Agreement at least thirty (30) days prior to the proposed effective date of the change;
(iii) provide and/or distribute any reports, information, or notices as required by the
Administrator; and (iv) comply with all requirements of the Plan. The Plan for a Participating
Employer who fails to comply with its obligations under the Plan may be terminated by the
Trustees in their discretion.
A Participating Employer shall not be liable for losses arising from expense charges of
any kind or from depreciation or shrinkage in the value of investments made under this Plan.
-36- GMA 401(a) DC Plan
ARTICLE XVII - PLAN LOANS
Plan loans to Participants shall not be permitted.
ARTICLE XVIII - ADMINISTRATION OF PLAN

administered in accordance with and construed to be consistent with Section 401(a) of the Code
and its accompanying regulations, as applicable to governmental plans as defined in Code
Section 414(d). The Plan is a money purchase plan, whereby contributions are determined
pursuant to Article IV of the Plan.
18.02 Trustees' Duties and Powers. The Trustees shall have the authority to control
and manage the operation and administration of the Plan and shall be a named fiduciary of the
Plan.
(a) The Trustees shall have such power and authority (including discretion with
respect to the exercise of that power and authority) as may be necessary, advisable, desirable or
convenient to enable the Trustees to carry out their duties under the Plan. The Trustees also have
the powers and duties specified in the Trust Agreement. By way of illustration and not
limitation, the Trustees are empowered and authorized:
(1) to establish procedures with respect to administration of the Plan, not
inconsistent with the Plan and the Code, and to amend or rescind such procedures;
(2) to determine, consistent with the Plan, applicable law, rules or regulations,
all questions of law or fact that may arise as to the eligibility for participation in the Plan
and eligibility for distribution of benefits from the Plan, and the status of any person
claiming benefits under the Plan, including without limitation, Participants, former
Participants, Beneficiaries, Employees and former Employees;
-37- GMA 401(a) DC Plan
(3) pursuant to Article XI of the Plan, to make payments from the Trust Fund
to Participants, their Beneficiaries and other persons as the Trustees may determine;
(4) to contract with one or more Service Managers to perform education,
enrollment, and administrative services under this Plan;
(5) to accept service of legal process;
(6) subject to and consistent with the Code, to construe and interpret the Plan
as to administrative issues and to correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile
any inconsistency in the Plan with respect to same.
(b) Any action by the Trustees, which is not found to be an abuse of discretion, shall
be final, conclusive and binding on all individuals affected thereby. The Trustees may take any
such action in such manner and to such extent as the Trustees in their sole discretion may deem
expedient and the Trustees shall be the sole and final judge of such expediency.
(c) The Trustees may delegate any power or duty to the Administrator except where
the Trustees are required to review a determination of the Administrator.
18.03 Advice. The Trustees may employ one (1) or more persons to render advice with
regard to their responsibilities under the Plan.
18.04 Delegation by Trustees. In addition to the powers stated in Section 18.02, the
Trustees may delegate to an individual, committee or organization certain of their fiduciary or
other responsibilities under the Plan. Any such individual, committee or organization shall
remain a fiduciary until the delegation of fiduciary duty is revoked by the Trustees, which
revocation may be without cause and without advance notice. Such individual, committee or
organization shall have power and authority with respect to such delegated fiduciary or other
responsibilities as the Trustees have under the Plan.
-38- GMA 401(a) DC Plan
18.05 Fiduciary Insurance. The Trustees may require the purchase of fiduciary
liability insurance for any of such fiduciaries to cover liability or losses occurring by reason of
the act or omission of a fiduciary.
18.06 Payment of Benefits.
(a) Payments to Minors and Incompetents. Any Participant, Terminated Participant,
or Beneficiary receiving or claiming benefits under the Plan shall be conclusively presumed to be
mentally competent and of age until the Administrator receives a written notice, in a form and
manner acceptable to it, that such person is incompetent or a minor, and that a guardian or other
person legally vested with the care of his estate has been appointed. In the event a guardian of
the estate of any person receiving or claiming benefits under the Plan shall be appointed by a
court of competent jurisdiction, payments shall be made to such guardian and the guardian may
take any and all actions with respect to the person's interest under the Plan in accordance with the
terms of the appointment, provided that proper proof of appointment is furnished in a form and
manner suitable to the Administrator. Any payment so made shall be a complete discharge of
liability therefor under the Plan. No person may act as an attorney in fact for an Employee,
Participant, Terminated Participant, or Beneficiary (or estate, if applicable) with respect to a
matter involving the Plan unless a valid power of attorney document appointing such person and
authorizing such action is submitted in a form and manner acceptable to the Administrator. The
Administrator shall be entitled to rely upon a power of attorney document which it reasonably
determines to be valid, without liability for actions taken by the Administrator at the request of
the designated attorney in fact, unless and until the Administrator receives notice that the power
of attorney is no longer effective.
-39- GMA 401(a) DC Plan
(b) Correctness of Actions. The Trustees or Administrator, if in doubt concerning the
correctness of their action in making a payment of a benefit, may suspend payment until satisfied
as to the correctness of the payment or the person to receive the payment, or may file, in any
state court of competent jurisdiction, a suit, in such form as it considers appropriate, for legal
determination of the benefits to be paid and the persons to receive them. The Trustees or
Administrator may also bring a suit or take such other action as it deems appropriate in the case
of questions involving investment directions. The Trustees and Administrator shall comply with
the final order of the court in any such suit, and Participants, Beneficiaries, and the Participating
Employers shall be bound thereby insofar as such order affects the benefits payable under this
Plan or the method or manner of payment.
18.07 Limitation on Recovery. Participating Employers, Participants, and
Beneficiaries (or their estates, if applicable) may not seek recovery against the Trustees, GMA,
or any employee or agent of GMA or the Trustees, for any loss sustained by any Participating
Employer, Participant, or Beneficiary (or estate, if applicable) due to the nonperformance of their
duties, negligence or any other misconduct of the above-named persons. Participants and
Beneficiaries (or their estates, if applicable) may not seek recovery against Participating
Employers, or any employee or agent of the Participating Employer, due to the non-performance
of their duties, negligence, or any other misconduct of the above named persons.
This paragraph shall not, however, excuse fraud or a wrongful taking by any person.
ARTICLE XIX - CLAIMS PROCEDURE
19.01 Claims Procedure: Service Manager. Any Participant may present a claim in

be waived by the Trustees for good cause shown.
(b) The Administrator shall within ninety (90) days provide adequate notice in
writing to any Claimant as to its decision on any review. Such notice shall be written in a

If such appeal is not filed within the sixty (60) day period, the decision of the Administrator
shall be final and binding.
(b) A decision by the Trustees shall be made no later than sixty (60) days after their

after their receipt of the appeal. Any such decision of the Trustees shall be in writing and shall
provide adequate notice to the Claimant setting forth the specific reasons for any denial and
written in a manner calculated to be understood by a Participant. Any such decision by the
Trustees shall be final and binding.

ARTICLE XX - AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN
20.01 Provider and Amendments.
(a) It is the intent of the Trustees that the Master Plan, Adoption Agreement form and
Addendum form (collectively referred to for purposes of Section 20.01 as "Plan") shall be and
remain qualified for tax purposes under the Code. The Provider shall timely submit the Plan for
approval under the Code as necessary, and all expenses incident thereto shall be borne by the
GMA Investment Fund.
(b) The Administrator will maintain a record of the Participating Employers, and the
Administrator will make reasonable and diligent efforts to ensure that Participating Employers
have actually received and are aware of all Plan amendments and that such Participating
-43- GMA 401(a) DC Plan
Employers adopt new documents when necessary. The provisions of this subsection shall
supersede other provisions of the Plan to the extent those other provisions are inconsistent.
(c) The Trustees or the Provider, as directed by the Trustees, hereby reserves the right
to terminate the Plan without consent of the Participating Employers or of Participants (or any
beneficiary thereof) and to amend the Plan without consent of the Participating Employers or of
Participants (or any Beneficiaries thereof) to make desired changes in the design of the Plan. A
true copy of the resolution of the Trustees approving such amendment shall be delivered to the
Administrator and the Participating Employers. The Plan shall be amended in the manner and
effective as of the date set forth in such resolution, and the Participating Employers, Employees,
Participants, Beneficiaries, the Administrator, and all others having any interest under the Plan
shall be bound thereby.
(d) On and after February 17, 2005, the Provider shall have the authority to advise
and prepare amendments to the Plan, for approval by the Trustees, on behalf of all Participating
Employers, including those Participating Employers who have adopted the Plan prior to the
January 1, 2017, restatement of the Plan, for changes in the Code, the regulations thereunder,
revenue rulings, other statements published by Internal Revenue Service, including model,
sample, or other required good faith amendments (but only if their adoption will not cause such
Plan to be individually designed), and for corrections of prior approved plans. These
amendments shall be applied to all Participating Employers. Any amendment prepared by the
Provider and approved by the Trustees will be provided by the Administrator to Participating
Employers.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs (c) and (d), effective January 1, 2018,
for any Participating Employer as of either:
-44- GMA 401(a) DC Plan
(1) the date the Internal Revenue Service requires the Participating Employer
to file Form 5300 as an individually designed plan as a result of an amendment by the
Participating Employer to incorporate a type of Plan not allowable in a pre-approved
plan, or
(2) as of the date the Plan is otherwise considered an individually designed
plan due to the nature and extent of the amendments,
such Participating Employer shall execute a resolution to adopt any amendments that are
approved by the Trustees after the date under subparagraph (1) or (2) above, as applicable,
within the earlier of (i) ninety (90) days after such Trustees' approval, or (ii) if applicable, the
remedial amendment period under Code Section 401(b) as applicable to governmental plans. If
the Participating Employer is required to obtain a determination letter for any reason in order to
maintain reliance on the opinion letter, the Provider's authority to amend the Plan on behalf of
the Participating Employer is conditioned on the Plan receiving a favorable determination letter.
20.02 Amendment of Adoption Agreement and/or Addendum by Participating
Employer. The Governing Authority shall have the right at any time to amend, in whole or in
part, any or all of its elections under the Adoption Agreement and/or Addendum without the
consent of the Participants or any Beneficiaries. Provided, however, that no such amendment
shall:
(a) Deprive any Participant or Beneficiary of any of the benefits to which the
Participant or Beneficiary is entitled under this Plan with respect to amounts credited prior to
the effective date of the amendment; or
(b) Authorize or permit any part of the Trust Fund to be diverted to purposes other
than for the exclusive benefit of Participants or their Beneficiaries; or
-45- GMA 401(a) DC Plan
(c) Become effective until approved by the Trustees. In order to be approved by the
Trustees, any amendment must comply with the Master Plan and all applicable state and federal
laws, including Code Section 401(a) as applicable to governmental plans. If the Trustees do not
approve an amendment, the Trustees and Administrator shall continue to administer the Plan as
if such amendment had not been made.
(d) If an amendment limits or otherwise restricts the deferral and distribution rights of
the Participants, the amendment shall become effective on the first day of the month following
the giving of not less than forty-five (45) days prior notice of the amendment to Participants. If
the amendment was made by the Trustees, notice shall be deemed given when the amendment is
posted in the office of the Administrator and is sent to each Participating Employer. If the
amendment was made by the Participating Employer, notice shall be deemed given when the
amendment is posted in the office of the Participating Employer and is sent to the
Administrator. No amendments shall deprive any Participant of any of the benefits to which the
Participant is entitled under this Plan with respect to amounts credited prior to the effective date
of the amendment, and
(e) If the Plan is amended or modified, the Administrator shall nonetheless be
responsible for the supervision and the payment of benefits resulting from amounts contributed
prior to the amendment or modifications in accordance with this Article.
ARTICLE XXI - TERMINATION
21.01 Plan Termination or Freeze by Participating Employer. A Participating
Employer may terminate or freeze its participation in the Plan, including but not limited to, its
contribution requirements, if it takes the following actions:
(a) The Governing Authority of the Participating Employer must adopt a resolution
terminating its participation or freezing its Employees’ rights to participate in the Plan.
-46- GMA 401(a) DC Plan
(b) The resolution must specify when the Plan will be closed to any additional
participation by Eligible Employees, which must be a date at least sixty (60) days after the

applicable federal and state laws, shall determine an appropriate effective date for the Plan
termination or freezing of Employer participation. The Administrator shall provide appropriate
forms to the Participating Employer to terminate or freeze ongoing participation. Distributions
under the Plan of existing accounts to the Participants and Beneficiaries affected by the
termination, or to Participants affected by the freeze are subject to Article XI. However, if the
Participating Employer requests a plan-to-plan transfer of Plan assets with respect to the
Participating Employer's Employees who are Participants, the Trustees may in their discretion
make the transfer.
21.02 Discontinuance of Contributions. At the discretion of the Trustees, a
Participating Employer who fails to make contributions for a period of one (1) year or who fails
to make timely contributions over a period of two (2) years shall be considered to have frozen
participation.
21.03 Effect of Termination or Freeze by Participating Employer. In the case of the
complete or partial termination or freezing of the Plan as to one (1) or more Participating
Employers, including a freeze arising from the discontinuance and/or delinquency of
contributions, the affected portion of the Trust Fund shall continue to be held pursuant to the
direction of the Trustees, for the benefit of affected Participants pursuant to Article XI. The Plan
shall remain in full effect with respect to each Participating Employer that does not terminate its
-47- GMA 401(a) DC Plan
participation in the Plan on behalf of its Employees or whose participation is not terminated by
the Trustees. In the case of a complete termination of the Plan as to one (1) or more Participating
Employers, the Trustees must distribute all assets of the Trust Fund as to such Participating
Employer to Participants and Beneficiaries as soon as administratively practicable after the
termination of the Plan, pursuant to benefit options under Article XI. In the case of the
establishment of a successor plan, such assets may be transferred to the trust of a successor plan.
21.04 Termination of the Entire Plan. This Plan in its entirety may be terminated at
any time by official action of the Trustees, with notice to all Participating Employers and
Participants. The last date for contributions and earnings to be credited to Participant Accounts
must be specified in the Trustees’ official action and must be no sooner than ninety (90) days
after the adoption of the official action. In the event of a complete Plan termination, the Trustees
must distribute all assets of the Trust Fund to the Participants and Beneficiaries as soon as
administratively practicable after the termination of the Plan, pursuant to benefit options under
Article XI. In the case of the establishment of a successor plan, such assets may be transferred to
the trust of a successor plan.
ARTICLE XXII - NONASSIGNABILITY
22.01 Nonassignment. No Participant, Beneficiary or designee may commute, sell,
assign, transfer, or otherwise convey the right to receive any payment under the Plan.
22.02 Rights. The rights of Participants and Beneficiaries under this Plan shall not be
subject to the rights of their creditors, and shall be exempt from execution, attachment, prior
assignment or any other judicial relief or order for the benefit of creditors or other third person,
except to the extent a benefit distributable under Article XI is subject to a federal tax levy and
except as provided in Article XXIII concerning Plan-Approved Domestic Relations Orders.
-48- GMA 401(a) DC Plan
ARTICLE XXIII - DOMESTIC RELATIONS ORDERS
23.01 General Provisions. Domestic relations orders which satisfy the requirements of
Code Section 414(p)(A)(i) and 414(p)(1)(B), this Article, and the procedures established by the
Administrator or Service Manager for such orders shall be considered Plan-Approved Domestic
Relations Orders ("PADROs") and shall be honored by the Plan. The Plan shall not honor any
domestic relations orders issued by a court before January 26, 2004. The Administrator or
Service Manager is authorized to establish and amend procedures for the determination of
PADROs consistent with the above-referenced Code provisions and this Article.
23.02 Investment. During the period that the issue of whether an order satisfies the
applicable requirements of the Code and the procedures established by the Administrator or
Service Manager is under consideration, the investment direction of the Participant with respect
to the Participant's Accounts shall remain in effect, subject to a determination by the
Administrator or Service Manager that such investment direction would be contrary to a final
court order. After a determination has been made that a domestic relations order satisfies the
applicable requirements of the Code and the procedures established by the Administrator or
Service Manager and a separate Plan Account has been established for the alternate payee, the
alternate payee shall direct the investment of his or her Plan Account. The Administrator or
Service Manager shall direct the investment of an alternate payee's Account to a default
investment pursuant to Section 9.02 when there is no valid investment direction on file. The
alternate payee's Account shall be assessed administrative fees in the same amount and in the
same manner as a Participant's Account. The Service Manager may assess an additional
administrative fee to process PADROs.
23.03 Distributions to Alternate Payees. Distributions of benefits to the alternate
payee shall commence as soon as administratively practicable after (i) a determination is made
-49- GMA 401(a) DC Plan
that the order satisfies the applicable requirements of the Code and the procedures established by
the Administrator or Service Manager, and (ii) receipt by the Administrator or Service Manager
of the Applicable Forms for the election of benefits. In the event of an alternate payee's death,
any remaining benefits shall be payable solely to the alternate payee's estate, via the duly
appointed and then-currently serving executor of the alternate payee's estate.
ARTICLE XXIV - MISCELLANEOUS
24.01 Federal Taxes. The Trustees, the Employers, and the Administrator do not
guarantee that any particular Federal or State income, payroll or other tax consequence will
occur because of participation in this Plan.
24.02 Contract. This Plan (i.e. the Master Plan document, along with the provisions set
forth in the Adoption Agreement and any Addendum of any Participating Employer), including
any properly adopted or executed amendments thereof, shall constitute entirety of the
Participating Employer's Plan. No oral statement regarding the Plan may be relied upon by any
Participant or other person. No document outside of the Plan shall be construed as creating an
agreement or contract between the Participating Employer and any Participant regarding the
Plan.
24.03 Conflicts. In resolving any conflict between provisions of the Plan and in
resolving any other uncertainty as to the meaning or intention of any provision of the Plan, the
interpretation that (i) causes the Plan to constitute a qualified governmental plan under the
provisions of Code Sections 401 and 414(d) and the Trust to be exempt from tax under Code
Sections 115 and 501, (ii) causes the Plan to comply with all applicable requirements of the
Code, and (iii) causes the Plan to comply with all applicable Georgia statutes and rules, shall
prevail over any different interpretation.
-50- GMA 401(a) DC Plan
24.04 Limitation on Rights. Neither the establishment or maintenance of the Plan, nor
any amendment thereof nor any act or omission under the Plan (or resulting from the operation
of the Plan) shall be construed:
(a) as conferring upon any Participant, Beneficiary (or their estates, if applicable) or
any other person a right or claim against the Trust, Trustees, Participating Employers,
Administrator, GMA or GMA's employees or agents, except to the extent that such right or
claim shall be specifically expressed and provided in the Plan;
(b) as creating any responsibility or liability of the Participating Employers for the
validity or effect of the Plan;
(c) as a contract between the Participating Employers and any Participant or other
person (or estate, if applicable);
(d) as being consideration for, or an inducement or condition of, employment of any
Participant or other person, or as affecting or restricting in any manner or to any extent
whatsoever the rights or obligations of the Participating Employers or any Participant or other
person to continue or terminate the employment relationship at any time; or
(e) as giving any Participant the right to be retained in the service of the Participating
Employers or to interfere with the right of the Participating Employers to discharge any
Participant or other person at any time.
24.05 USERRA Compliance. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Plan to the
contrary, contributions, benefits, and service credit with respect to qualified military service shall
be provided in accordance with the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights
Act of 1994 ("USERRA") [as codified at Chapter 43, Title 38, of the United States Code]; Code
Section 414(u); and Code Section 401(a)(37), as amended from time to time.
-51- GMA 401(a) DC Plan
For purposes of this section, "qualified military service" means any service in the
uniformed services as defined in USERRA by any individual if such individual is entitled to
reemployment rights under USERRA with respect to such service.
A Participant, whose employment is interrupted by qualified military service or who is on
a leave of absence for qualified military service who timely resumes employment with the
Participating Employer in accordance with USERRA, may elect to make-up deferral
contributions to a Code Section 457(b) Plan in accordance with Code Section 414(u) reduced by
deferral contributions under Code Section 457(b), if any, actually made for the Participant during
the period of such interruption or leave. Except to the extent otherwise provided under Code
Section 414(u), this right applies for five (5) years following such resumption of employment
(or, if shorter, for a period equal to three (3) times the period of the interruption or leave). Such
contribution by the Participant may only be made during such period and while the Participant is
employed by the Participating Employer.
If such Participant elects to make such make-up contributions, then the Participating
Employer shall make-up the related Employer Contributions which would have been required
had such contributions actually been made during the period of qualified military service. The
make-up contributions by the Participating Employer shall be made as soon as practicable after
the Participant makes such make-up contributions.
If the Participant timely resumes employment in accordance with USERRA after a
qualified military leave, the Participating Employer shall make any other Employer Contribution
that would have been made if the Participant had remained employed during the Participant's
qualified military service. Such contributions must be made no later than ninety (90) days after
-52- GMA 401(a) DC Plan
the date of such reemployment or when contributions are normally due for the year in which the
qualified military service was performed, if later.
In determining the amount of Employer Contribution, a Participant shall be treated as
receiving compensation from the Participating Employer during such period of qualified military
service equal to (i) the compensation the Participant would have received during such period if
the Participant were not in qualified military service, determined based on the rate of pay the
Participant would have received from the Participating Employer but for the absence during the
period of qualified military service, or (ii) if the compensation the Participant would have
received during such period is not reasonably certain, the Participant's average compensation
from the Participating Employer during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the
qualified military service (or, if shorter, the period of employment immediately preceding the
qualified military service).
Effective January 1, 2007, to the extent provided under Code Section 401(a)(37), in the
case of a Participant whose employment is interrupted by qualified military service and who dies
while performing qualified military service, the survivor of such Participant shall be entitled to
any additional benefit (other than benefit accruals) provided under the Plan as if the Participant
timely resumed employment in accordance with USERRA and then, on the next day, terminated
employment on account of death.
Effective January 1, 2009, a Participant receiving a differential wage payment within the
meaning of Code Section 414(u)(12)(D) from the Employer, shall be treated as a Participant and
the differential wage payment shall be treated as Compensation for purposes of Section 1.08 of
the Plan and for purposes of Article V of the Plan. This provision shall be applied to all similarly
situated individuals in a reasonably equivalent manner.
-53- GMA 401(a) DC Plan
24.06 Procedure when Distributee Cannot be Located. The Administrator shall
make all reasonable attempts to determine the identity and address of a Participant or a
Beneficiary (or an estate, if applicable) entitled to benefits under the Plan. For this purpose, a
reasonable attempt means the Administrator has taken the following steps: (a) searched plan and
related plan, sponsor, and publicly-available records or directories for alternative contact
information, (b) used a commercial locator service, credit reporting agency, or proprietary
internet search tool for locating individuals, as determined by the Administrator, and (c)
attempted contact via United States Postal Service ("USPS") certified mail to the last known
mailing address shown on the Employer's or the Administrator's records and through appropriate
means for any address or contact information (including email addresses and telephone
numbers). If the Administrator is unable to locate such a person entitled to benefits hereunder,
the payee has not responded within six (6) months, or if there has been no claim made for such
benefits, the Trust Fund shall continue to hold the benefits due such person. In the event of a
Plan termination under Article 21, the benefits due to such person shall be paid in a direct
rollover to an individual retirement plan designated by the Administrator.
24.07 Erroneous Payments. If the Trustees make any payment that according to the
terms of the Plan and the benefits provided hereunder should not have been made, the Trustees
may recover that incorrect payment, by whatever means necessary, whether or not it was made
due to the error of the Trustees, from the person to whom it was made or from any other
appropriate party. For example, if any such incorrect payment is made directly to a Participant,
the Trustees may deduct it when making any future payments directly to that Participant.
24.08 Mistaken Contributions. If any contribution (or any portion of a contribution) is
made to the Plan by a good faith mistake of fact, then within one year after the payment of the
-54- GMA 401(a) DC Plan
contribution, and upon receipt in good order of a proper request approved by the Administrator,
the amount of the mistaken contribution (adjusted for any income or loss in value, if any,
allocable thereto) shall be returned directly to the Participant or, to the extent required or
permitted by the Administrator, to the Participating Employer.
24.09 Release. Any payment to any Participant shall, to the extent thereof, be in full
satisfaction of the claim of such Participant being paid thereby and the Administrator may
condition payment thereof on the delivery by the Participant of the duly executed receipt and
release in such form as may be determined by the Administrator.
24.10 Liability. The Administrator and its employees and agents shall not incur any
liability in acting upon any notice, request, signed letter, telegram or other paper or document or
electronic transmission believed by the Administrator to be genuine or to be executed or sent by
an authorized person.
24.11 Governing Laws. The law of the State of Georgia, except to the extent
pre-empted by federal law, shall apply in determining the construction and validity of this Plan.
24.12 Necessary Parties to Disputes. Necessary parties to any accounting, litigation or
other proceedings relating to the Plan shall include only the Trustees and the Administrator.
However, the Service Manager is a necessary party for with respect to duties that have been
delegated to the Service Manager. The settlement or judgment in any such case in which the
Trustees are duly served shall be binding upon the Participating Employer and all affected
Employees, Participants, their Beneficiaries, estates and upon all persons claiming by, through or
under them.

TO: Lena Bonner, Clerk of Commission FROM: Gwin Hall, Senior Associate General Counsel and Caroline Dorsey, Associate General Counsel SUBJECT: Action Required; Restatement of Augusta, Georgia’s Georgia Municipal Association 401(a) Defined Contribution Plan
_______________________________________________________________________ Augusta, Georgia previously adopted the Georgia Municipal Association (“GMA”) 401(a) Defined Contribution Plan (“DC Plan”), which is comprised of the Master Plan document
(“Master Plan”), Adoption Agreement and Addendum. GMA recently restated the DC Plan and received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). An employer providing retirement benefits through the GMA DC Plan has the assurance that GMA is maintaining a qualified defined contribution program. To complete the restatement process, it is necessary for Augusta to restate its DC Plan documents using the restated Adoption Agreement and Addendum forms, drafted to reflect the benefit design currently in place under your DC Plan. We have also enclosed the Master Plan and Amendment 1 and a Summary of Key amendments that were made to the DC Plan since it was last approved by the IRS in 2014.
Please take this time to review the Adoption Agreement and Addendum to ensure they accurately reflect your current practices. The Adoption Agreement provides that Augusta makes non-matching employer contributions in the amount of 2% of compensation per participant for each
payroll period. The Addendum requires participants to make employee contributions in the amount of 4% of compensation per payroll period. We have updated the Adoption Agreement and Addendum to officially close the Plan to new entrants effective October 1, 2021, and to officially
remove the choice between the DC Plan and the Augusta GMEBS Defined Benefit Retirement Plan I (“DB Plan”). Because Augusta amended its DB Plan effective October 1, 2017, to require new hires and rehires to participate in the DB Plan, all employees (including elected officials) regardless of job title initially hired or rehired on or after that date effectively have elected to participate in the DB Plan and not the DC Plan. Consequently, no new participants have joined (or rejoined) the DC Plan since October 1, 2017. The draft Adoption Agreement and Addendum will take effect October 1, 2021. Please review the restated DC Plan documents and Summary of Key Amendments. If the Adoption Agreement and Addendum are acceptable as drafted, please execute them where indicated (p. 5 and p. AA-17 and p. Ad-7). Following execution please scan all pages of both documents and email them to Gina
Gresham at rgresham@gacities.com. GMA will then countersign the Adoption Agreement and Addendum and return them to you for
your files. Please keep the fully executed Adoption Agreement and Addendum, along with the GMA 401(a) DC Master Plan document and Amendment 1, as part of the permanent records for your GMA 401(a) DC Plan. Augusta does not need to adopt the Master Plan or Amendment 1.
