Amend Ordinance for Franchsie Fee with Comcast
Department:Finance
Caption:Approve amendment to existing franchise ordinance with Comcast.
Background:Augusta Finance Department utilized the services of GMA to
review the existing franchsie agreements with cable providers. The

law to collect franchise fees on advertising, home shopping
commissions, late fees, installation revenue and FCC fees. Georgia
Municpal Association has provided the draft ordinance for the
amendment.
Analysis:By approving allowed amendment, the agreement will allow
increased franchise fee collections as allowed by state law.
Financial Impact:Estimated increased franchise revenue of $300,000 annually
Alternatives:do not approve the amendment and forfeit the increase in revenue
discussed in the 2014 budget
Recommendation:approve the amendment

Attachment number 1 \nPage 1 of 3
Item # 2
2414723v1

determined in accordance with Generally Accepted accounting Principles (“GAAP”).
Gross revenues shall not include:
(A) Amounts billed and collected as a line item on the subscriber’s bill to
recover any taxes, surcharges, that are imposed on or with respect to the
services provided or measured by the charges, receipts, or payments
therefore; provided, however, that for purposes of this definition of “Gross
Revenue”, such tax, surcharge, shall not include any ad valorem taxes, net
income taxes, or generally applicable business or occupation taxes not

Approve and Execute required agreements for GMA Lease Pool Compliance
Department:Finance
Caption:Approve and execute required agreements for Georgia Municipal
Association Lease Pool compliance.
Background:Augusta participates in the GMA Lease Pool which is a program
offering extraordinary low interest rates in order to manage cash
flow regarding purchases of equipment thru the capital outlay
portion of its budget.
Analysis:The program which is adminitered by Georgia Municpal
Association has safeguard in its agreement with the provider, JP
Morgan, requiring that JP Morgan post collateral should its credit
rating fall below a certain level. That has occured and JP Morgan
will pledge the collateral. There are certain actions that must be
taken by each member of the "pool" and GMA. These are outlined
in the attached talking points.
Financial Impact:none if Augusta executes the agreements
Alternatives:do not execute the agreements, withdraw from the pool and bear
any financial risk ourselves
Recommendation:Follow the recommendation of GMA and take the required steps:
1. Register with the CFTC 2. Execute the Credit Support Annex 3.
Execute the Bilateral Dodd-Frank Agreement 4. Adopt the model
resolution provided by GMA

To: GMA 1998 Pool Members
From: Matt Williams, Manager, Financial Service Programs
Re: Dodd-Frank Act Compliance Talking Points
The City is party to an interest rate exchange agreement in connection with its participation in
GMA’s 1998 Equipment Leasing Program. This program has offered the City and other
participating local governments the opportunity to lease-purchase equipment at extraordinarily
low interest rates for the past 15 years;
These low rates are a result of the innovative structure of the 1998 Certificates of Participation
transaction that funded the program, which was comprised of individual interest rate
derivatives, a cap on such interest rates, and very favorable rates of return on invested fund
balances;
Further safeguards in the agreements require the provider, JP Morgan, to post collateral equal
to the “mark-to-market” value in the event their credit ratings fall below a minimum level.
These funds provide additional security should the bank fail and would “make-whole” 98 Pool
members should the bank fail;
JP Morgan’s ratings have fallen to a level that requires them to post approximately $32.6M** in
collateral. This collateral will be pledged as security to the pool members based on their shares
of the pool and divided proportionately;
In order to receive and hold this collateral, GMA and the members must open a Custody
Account and execute various agreements. In order to do so, each member must first be in
compliance with provisions of the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act
of 2010;
The first step is for each member to register with the Commodities Futures Trading Commission
(CFTC) and receive a Interim Compliance Identifier (CICI). This can be completed at
www.ciciutility.org. Please note that there is a recurring annual fee for this registration. The
CUSIP number for the 1998 Pool COP’s is 373271AA3.
Second, each member will need to execute the proposed Credit Support Annex pursuant to
which the required collateral will be posted;
Third, each member will need to execute the proposed Bilateral Dodd-Frank (DF) Agreement
pursuant to which all of the representations and warranties required by Dodd-Frank are set
forth.
Finally, each governing body will need to adopt the model resolution declaring its intention to
conform to the provisions of Dodd-Frank and define the role of the Qualified Independent
Representative (QIR). GMA has retained Andrew McKendrick of Public Financial Management
(PFM) Asset Management to be the QIR and Advisor.

Paragraph 4. Conditions Precedent, Transfer Timing, Calculations and Substitutions
(a) Conditions Precedent. Each Transfer obligation of the Pledgor under Paragraphs 3 and 5 and of the

have agreed are not in dispute;
(B) calculating the Exposure for the Transactions (or Swap Transactions) in dispute by seeking four
actual quotations at mid-market from Reference Market-makers for purposes of calculating Market
Quotation, and taking the arithmetic average of those obtained; provided that if four quotations are not
available for a particular Transaction (or Swap Transaction), then fewer than four quotations may be
used for that Transaction (or Swap Transaction); and if no quotations are available for a particular
Transaction (or Swap Transaction), then the Valuation Agent’s original calculations will be used for
that Transaction (or Swap Transaction); and
(C) utilizing the procedures specified in Paragraph 13 for calculating the Value, if disputed, of Posted
Credit Support.
(ii) In the case of a dispute involving the Value of any Transfer of Eligible Credit Support or Posted
Credit Support, the Valuation Agent will recalculate the Value as of the date of Transfer pursuant to
Paragraph 13.
Following a recalculation pursuant to this Paragraph, the Valuation Agent will notify each party (or the other
party, if the Valuation Agent is a party) not later than the Notification Time on the Local Business Day following
the Resolution Time. The appropriate party will, upon demand following that notice by the Valuation Agent or
a resolution pursuant to (3) above and subject to Paragraphs 4(a) and 4(b), make the appropriate Transfer.

Party will exercise reasonable care to assure the safe custody of all Posted Collateral to the extent required by
applicable law, and in any event the Secured Party will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care if it
exercises at least the same degree of care as it would exercise with respect to its own property. Except as

“Custodian”) to hold Posted Collateral for the Secured Party. Upon notice by the Secured Party to the
Pledgor of the appointment of a Custodian, the Pledgor’s obligations to make any Transfer will be
discharged by making the Transfer to that Custodian. The holding of Posted Collateral by a Custodian
will be deemed to be the holding of that Posted Collateral by the Secured Party for which the Custodian
is acting.
(ii) Failure to Satisfy Conditions. If the Secured Party or its Custodian fails to satisfy any conditions
for holding Posted Collateral, then upon a demand made by the Pledgor, the Secured Party will, not later
than five Local Business Days after the demand, Transfer or cause its Custodian to Transfer all Posted
Collateral held by it to a Custodian that satisfies those conditions or to the Secured Party if it satisfies

as the Secured Party may elect.

of the Pledgor involved in the Transfer of that Eligible Collateral gives the notices and takes the action
required of it under applicable law for perfection of that interest); and
(iv) the performance by it of its obligations under this Annex will not result in the creation of any

equal to interest at the Default Rate multiplied by the Value of the items of property that were required to be
Transferred, from (and including) the date that Posted Collateral or Interest Amount was required to be
Transferred to (but excluding) the date of Transfer of that Posted Collateral or Interest Amount. This interest will
be calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed.

file and record any financing statement, specific assignment or other document and take any other action that may
be necessary or desirable and reasonably requested by that party to create, preserve, perfect or validate any
security interest or lien granted under Paragraph 2, to enable that party to exercise or enforce its rights under this

security interest on Posted Collateral or an Interest Amount.

any suit, action, proceeding or lien that involves Posted Credit Support Transferred by the Pledgor or that could
adversely affect the security interest and lien granted by it under Paragraph 2, unless that suit, action, proceeding
or lien results from the exercise of the Secured Party’s rights under Paragraph 6(c).

including, but not limited to, all calculations, valuations and determinations made by either party, will be made
in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner.

The Parties hereto wish to enter into this agreement (this “Bilateral DF Agreement II”) in relation to their trading
relationship in respect of DF Swaps (as defined in Annex I hereto) in order to ensure compliance with the regulatory
requirements of Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Act”) and the
Applicable DF Regulations (as defined in Annex I hereto).
Effective on the date hereof, the terms of this Bilateral DF Agreement II shall supplement and form part of the terms of
(i) the JPM August 2012 Bilateral DF Agreement and (ii) each DF Swap entered into between Party A and Party B
(each a “Party” and, together, the “Parties”).
If the Parties have executed an Existing Swap Agreement (as defined in Annex I hereto), this Bilateral DF Agreement II
between Party A and Party B shall supplement and form part of such Existing Swap Agreement, as amended and
supplemented from time to time. If the parties have not executed an Existing Swap Agreement, this Bilateral DF
Agreement II shall supplement and form part of an agreement in the form of the ISDA 2002 Master Agreement with a
Schedule (as such term is defined in the ISDA 2002 Master Agreement) that includes the following terms (the “Deemed
ISDA 2002 Master Agreement”): (i) the Deemed ISDA 2002 Master Agreement will govern any DF Swap between the
Parties that is entered into on or after the date hereof that is (1) not governed by an Existing Swap Agreement, and (2)
not intended by the Parties to be cleared on a clearing organization and, for the avoidance of doubt, will not govern any
DF Swap that is governed by an Existing Swap Agreement, or intended by the Parties to be cleared on a clearing
organization; (ii) the Deemed ISDA 2002 Master Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York (without reference to choice of law doctrine), unless otherwise agreed by the Parties; and
(iii) except as otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, “Multiple Transaction Payment Netting” (1) will apply with
respect to each Transaction that is an “FX Transaction” or “Currency Option Transaction” as defined in the ISDA 1998
FX and Currency Option Definitions (as published by ISDA, the Emerging Markets Traders Association and the
Foreign Exchange Committee), as supplemented from time to time, and (2) will not apply with respect to other
Transactions, in each case for the purposes of Section 2(c) of the Deemed ISDA 2002 Master Agreement.
Accordingly, the Parties agree as follows:
1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Bilateral DF Agreement II shall have
the meanings assigned to such terms in Annex I hereto.
2. General Representations and Agreements of Party A and Party B.
(a) Each Party represents to the other Party (which representation is deemed repeated as of the time of each
Swap Transaction Event) that, as of the date of each Swap Transaction Event, (i) all Relevant
Information (excluding representations) furnished by or on behalf of it to the other Party is true, accurate
and complete in every material respect, and (ii) no representation provided in the Relevant Information
or in this Bilateral DF Agreement II is incorrect or misleading in any material respect. All Relevant
Information is incorporated herein by reference.1
(b) Each Party acknowledges that the other Party has agreed to incorporate one or more of the Annexes
hereto into this Bilateral DF Agreement II and if the Parties enter into any DF Swap on or after the date
of this Bilateral DF Agreement II, the other Party will do so in reliance upon the Relevant Information
and the representations provided by such Party or its agent in the Relevant Information and this Bilateral
DF Agreement II. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party agrees that an event of default,
termination event, or other similar event that gives a Party grounds to cancel or otherwise terminate a
DF Swap shall not occur under any contract between the Parties solely on the basis of (i) a
representation provided solely in this Bilateral DF Agreement II or in the Relevant Information provided
hereunder being incorrect or misleading in any material respect, or (ii) a breach of any covenant or
agreement set forth solely in this Bilateral DF Agreement II; provided, however, that nothing in this
Paragraph 2(b) shall prejudice any other right or remedy of a Party at law or under any contract in
respect of any misrepresentation or breach hereunder or thereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, this
Paragraph 2(b) shall not alter a Party’s termination rights or remedies, if any, applicable to a breach of
any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement that is not provided or set forth solely in the
Relevant Information or in this Bilateral DF Agreement II, including any such breach relating to any
event or condition that could also cause or constitute an event specified in (i) or (ii) above.

conditions of any such consents have been complied with; and

15 CFTC Regulation 45.6. 16 A “CFTC Swap Entity” is a person who is, or may become, a principal to one or more swaps and is, or expects shortly to be, registered as a
swap dealer or major swap participant with the CFTC. Designation as a CFTC Swap Entity in this Annex II is not a representation by Party B that it
is a “swap dealer” or a “major swap participant,” as such terms are defined in the CEA and applicable CFTC regulations or that it is registered as
such. However, parties who do not in good faith believe they will register as a swap dealer or major swap participant should not be designated as a
CFTC Swap Entity in this Annex II. If Party B elects that it is not initially a CFTC Swap Entity, it may subsequently change its status to CFTC Swap
Entity by providing written notice to Party A that it has become registered with the CFTC as a swap dealer or major swap participant. 17 See, e.g., CFTC Regulation 23.501 and 23.504(b)(4). The term “financial entity” is used for various purposes through the CEA and CFTC
Regulations, including for the purposes of determining who must enter into “swap trading relationship documentation” satisfying various
requirements and the deadlines for execution of confirmations under CFTC Regulation 23.501. 18 Pursuant to CFTC Regulation 23.504(b)(5)(i)-(ii), swap trading relationship documentation must include a statement for each Party indicating

ANNEX III
Calculation of Risk Valuations and Dispute Resolution
Part I. Calculation of Risk Valuations for Purposes of Section 4s(j) of the CEA
Each Party agrees that:
3.1 On each Risk Valuation Date, the Risk Valuation Agent in respect of each DF Swap for which a Transaction
Event has occurred after the Applicable STRD Compliance Date (or its agent) will calculate the Risk Valuation
of such DF Swap, provided that if Party B has provided the Risk Valuation Agent with a CSA Valuation for
such DF Swap and such Risk Valuation Date pursuant to the CSA Valuation Process that the Risk Valuation
Agent has determined in good faith will allow the Risk Valuation Agent to satisfy the requirements of CFTC
Regulation 23.504(b) as they relate to Section 4s(j) of the CEA, the Risk Valuation Agent may elect to treat
such CSA Valuation as the Risk Valuation for such DF Swap.
3.2 Upon written request by Party B delivered to the Risk Valuation Agent in accordance with the Notice
Procedures on or prior to the Joint Business Day following a Risk Valuation Date, the Risk Valuation Agent
(or its agent) will notify Party B of the Risk Valuations determined by it for such Risk Valuation Date pursuant
to Section 3.1 above. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, the Risk Valuation Agent shall not be obligated
to disclose to Party B any confidential, proprietary information about any model the Risk Valuation Agent may
use to value a DF Swap.
3.3 Notification of a Risk Valuation may be provided through any of the following means, each of which is agreed
by the Parties to be reliable: (i) written notice delivered by the Risk Valuation Agent to Party B in accordance
with the Notice Procedures, (ii) any means agreed by the Parties for the delivery of CSA Valuations or (iii)
posting on a secured web page at, or accessible through, a URL designated in a written notice given to Party B
pursuant to the Notice Procedures.
3.4 Each Risk Valuation will be determined by the Risk Valuation Agent (or its agent) acting in good faith and
using commercially reasonable procedures in order to produce a commercially reasonable result.
Part II. Dispute Resolution for Risk Valuations for Purposes of Section 4s(j) of the CEA
Each Party agrees that:
3.5 If Party B wishes to dispute the Risk Valuation Agent’s calculation of a Risk Valuation, Party B shall notify
the Risk Valuation Agent in writing in accordance with the Notice Procedures on or prior to the close of
business on the Joint Business Day following the date on which Party B was notified of such Risk Valuation.
Such notice shall include Party B’s calculation of the Risk Valuations for all DF Swaps as of the relevant date
for which the Risk Valuation Agent has provided Risk Valuations to Party B, which must be calculated by
Party B acting in good faith and using commercially reasonable procedures in order to produce a commercially
reasonable result.
3.6 If Party B disputes the Risk Valuation Agent’s calculation of a Risk Valuation and the Parties have agreed in
writing (whether as part of the Bilateral Covered Agreement or otherwise) to a valuation dispute resolution
process by which CSA Valuations are to be determined, then such process will be applied to resolve the
dispute of such Risk Valuation (as if such dispute of a Risk Valuation were a dispute of a CSA Valuation, each
DF Swap that is the subject of the dispute were the only DF Swap for which a CSA Valuation was being
disputed, and Party B was the disputing party).
3.7 If Party B disputes the Risk Valuation Agent’s calculation of a Risk Valuation and the Parties have not agreed
in writing (whether as part of the Bilateral Covered Agreement or otherwise) to a valuation dispute resolution
process by which CSA Valuations are to be determined, then the following process will apply in respect of the
dispute of such Risk Valuation:
Attachment number 3 \nPage 17 of 22
Item # 3
18
(a) the Parties will consult with each other in an attempt to resolve the dispute; and
(b) if they fail to resolve the dispute in a timely fashion, then the Risk Valuation Agent will recalculate
the Risk Valuation as of the Recalculation Date by seeking four actual quotations at mid-market from
Reference Market-makers and taking the arithmetic average of those obtained; provided that if four
quotations are not available, then fewer than four quotations may be used; and if no quotations are
available, then the Risk Valuation Agent’s original Risk Valuation calculation will be used.
3.8 Following a recalculation pursuant to Section 3.7 above, the Risk Valuation Agent will notify Party B no later
than the close of business on the Local Business Day of the Risk Valuation Agent following the date of such
recalculation, and such recalculation shall be the Risk Valuation for the applicable Risk Valuation Date.
Part III. Relationship to Other Valuations
3.9 The Parties agree and acknowledge that the process provided herein for the production and dispute of Risk
Valuations is exclusively for determining the value of each relevant DF Swap for the purpose of compliance by
each Party with risk management requirements under Section 4s(j) of the CEA. Failure by Party B to dispute a
Risk Valuation calculated by the Risk Valuation Agent does not constitute acceptance by Party B of the
accuracy of the Risk Valuation for any other purpose.
3.10 Resolution of any disputed Risk Valuation using a procedure specified in Part II of Annex II to this Bilateral
DF Agreement II is not binding on either Party for any purpose other than Party A’s compliance with risk
management requirements under Section 4s(j) of the CEA. Each Party agrees that nothing in this Bilateral DF
Agreement II providing for the calculation of Risk Valuations or for any right to dispute valuations in
connection with such Risk Valuations shall affect any agreement of the Parties regarding the calculation of
CSA Valuations or disputes regarding CSA Valuations or constitute a waiver of any right to dispute a CSA
Valuation. Any resolutions of disputes regarding CSA Valuations may be different from the resolutions of
disputes regarding Risk Valuations. The Parties acknowledge that the adoption of margin regulations under
Section 4s(e) of the CEA may require additional agreements between the Parties regarding the calculation of
DF Swap valuations for purposes of such regulations and Party A’s compliance with risk management
requirements under Section 4s(j) of the CEA, and Party B’s agreement to incorporate this Annex III in no way
constitutes agreement to adopt the procedures herein with respect to the calculation of, or resolution of disputes
regarding, margin valuations.
3.11 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Bilateral DF Agreement II, the Parties may in good faith agree
to any other procedure for (i) the calculation of Risk Valuations and/or (ii) the resolution of any dispute
between them, in either case, whether in addition to or in substitution of the procedures set out in this Annex
III.

Applicable DF Regulations regarding the frequency with which portfolio reconciliations are to be performed.
A Required Reconciliation Data Notice will specify (i) the frequency with which such portfolio reconciliations
are believed by Party A to be required, which may be “Daily,” “Weekly,” Quarterly,” “Annually” or another
frequency required by the Applicable DF Regulations and (ii) one or more Data Delivery Dates.

4.2 On each Data Delivery Date Party A will deliver Portfolio Data to Party B and Party B will review such data,
and the following shall apply:

the first such date will be a day no earlier than the second Joint Business Day following the date on
which such notice is given to Party B, and provided further that if, prior to the first such date, Party B
requests one or more different Data Delivery Dates, the relevant Data Delivery Dates will be as
agreed by the Parties.
(b) On each Data Delivery Date, Party A (or its agent) will provide Portfolio Data to Party B (or its agent)
for verification by Party B. For purposes of this Section 4.2, Portfolio Data will be considered to have
been provided to Party B (and Party B will be considered to have received such Portfolio Data) if it
has been provided (i) in accordance with the Notice Procedures, or (ii) to a third-party service
provider agreed to between Party A and Party B for this purpose.
(c) On or as soon as reasonably practicable after each Data Delivery Date and in any event not later than
the close of business on the second Local Business Day of Party B following the Data Delivery Date,
Party B will review the Portfolio Data delivered by Party A with respect to each relevant DF Swap
against its own books and records and Valuation for such DF Swap and notify Party A whether it
affirms the relevant Portfolio Data or has identified any Discrepancy. Party B shall notify Party A of
all Discrepancies identified with respect to the Portfolio Data provided.
(d) If Party B has notified Party A of any Discrepancies in Portfolio Data in respect of any Material
Terms or Valuations, then each Party agrees to consult with the other in an attempt to resolve all such
Discrepancies in a timely fashion.
Part III. Valuation Differences Below the Discrepancy Threshold Amount
4.3 The Parties hereby agree that a difference in Valuations in respect of a DF Swap that is less than the
Discrepancy Threshold Amount shall not be deemed a “discrepancy” for purposes of CFTC Regulation 23.502
and neither Party shall be required under this Annex IV to notify the other Party of such a difference or consult
with the other Party in an attempt to resolve such a difference.
Part IV. Other Portfolio Reconciliation Procedures
4.4 In the event that the Parties have agreed to multiple Data Delivery Dates with a frequency specified in a
Required Reconciliation Date Notice, Party A shall notify Party B if, at any time, during the period that such
Data Delivery Dates are in effect, it is no longer required by the Applicable DF Regulations to conduct
portfolio reconciliations with the specified frequency. Such notice shall specify (i) the new frequency with
which portfolio reconciliations are believed by Party A to be required, which may be “Daily,” “Weekly,”
“Quarterly,” “Annually” or another frequency required by the Applicable DF Regulations and (ii) one or more
new Data Delivery Dates. Upon delivery of such a notice, the Parties’ obligations to deliver Portfolio Data on

provided under Section 2(h)(7) of the CEA and CFTC Regulation 50.50 and (ii) Party B has satisfied the
conditions specified in Section 5.1(b)(1) and (2) above, then, if the DF Swap is subject to mandatory reporting
to the CFTC or an SDR and Party A is the “reporting counterparty,” as defined in CFTC Regulation 45.8, Party
A shall report the information listed in CFTC Regulation 50.50(b)(1)(iii) to the relevant SDR.41

5.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any non-disclosure, confidentiality or similar agreement
between the Parties, if Party B elects the exception from the DF Swap clearing requirement under Section
2(h)(7)(A) of the CEA and CFTC Regulation 50.50 with respect to a particular DF Swap, each Party hereby
consents to the disclosure of information related to such election to the extent required by the Applicable DF
Regulations. Each Party acknowledges that disclosures made pursuant to this Section 5.3 may include, without
limitation, the disclosure of trade information, including a Party’s identity (by name, identifier or otherwise) to
an SDR and relevant regulators. Each Party further acknowledges that, for purposes of complying with
regulatory reporting obligations, an SDR may engage the services of a global trade repository regulated by one
or more governmental regulators, provided that such regulated global trade repository is subject to comparable
confidentiality provisions as is an SDR registered with the CFTC. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent
that applicable non-disclosure, confidentiality, bank secrecy or other law imposes non-disclosure requirements
on the DF Swap and similar information required to be disclosed pursuant to the Applicable DF Regulations
but permits a Party to waive such requirements by consent, the consent and acknowledgements provided herein
shall be a consent by each Party for purposes of such other applicable law.

Renewal GPS Tracking Services
Department:Finance/Risk Managment Division
Caption:Approve the continuation of the GPS tracking service subscription
with GPS North America.
Background:The Vehicle Oversight Program and the purchase of the GPS
Tracking units through GPS North America were approved by the
Commission in November 2008 with additional units approved in
June 2009. The current number of units totals 464.
Analysis:Entering sixth year of service. The GPS units were intended to
modify the driving behavior of our workforce, that goal has been
reached and is being maintained. Employees continue to drive at
much lower speeds around town as well as on the interstate
highways. At this time it is felt that removal of these units would
be counterproductive to the gains made thus far. In order to
continue to influence employees’ driving behavior it would be to
management’s advantage to retain this resource so we do not lose
the gains that have been made in changing the driving behavior of
our employees. General fund vehicles and Fire fund vehicles
continue to show a slight decrease in fuel usage. One of our
largest departments, Augusta Utilities, shows a greater decrease in
fuel usage than the other funds. A report for 2012 October 1 –
October 16 shows AUD with 15 supervisors / managers / director
logging into the system. Monitoring of their vehicles has become
integrated into their daily activity and they show more consistent
use of the system throughout the month.
Financial Impact:Annual sustainment for current tracking is $158,280 for 464 units.
Alternatives:Do not approve the request and remove the GPS units from
service.
Recommendation:Approve the continuation of the GPS Tracking Service through
2014 with GPS North America for $158,280.
