BLIGHT ABATEMENT - REQUIRED FUNDING FOR THE DEMOLITION OF UNSAFE &
UNINHABITABLE STRUCTURES
Department:Planning & Development Dept
Caption:Approve funding for 290 dilapidated structures that the Planning
& Development Department has identified that are categorized as
nuisance properties that should be demolished due to the
structures being uninhabitable and unsafe and causing a blighting
condition in the neighborhoods.
Background:The 290 identified structures are predominantly located in the
older City neighborhoods. The properties are generally
categorized as abandoned in that the property taxes are delinquent
and the structures have not legally been occupied for quite a
while. The structures continue to deteriorate and often times are
being used as locations for illegal activities such as drug dealings,
prostitution, and as shelters for the homeless. The appearance of
the structures is not supportive of the efforts to redevelop the
neighborhoods, and is most likely a deterrent for a new
homebuyer that may be considering residing in the central City
neighborhoods… In addition to the 290 structures, another 250
structures have been identified that potentially will deteriorate to
the status of being a nuisance and will require abatement through
the Public Officer process of obtaining a Court Order for
demolition.
Analysis:Of the 290 structures have been identified as nuisance properties,
115 of those properties have been through the Public Officer
process and a Court Order for demolition of the structure has been
issued. The remaining structures (175) are in queue for the Public
Officer process of requesting a title search and scheduling a court
hearing date… The average cost for demolition is $5,530. The
funds needed to complete the demolition of the 115 properties
with a demolition Order is $635,950. The grand total of funds
required for the demolition of all 290 structures is $1,603,700.
(This does not include the additional 250 potential nuisance
structures / $1,382,500.) The proposal is to tackle the project in
phases. Funds in the amount of $200,000 are requested to begin
the first phase in the process of addressing the dilapidated
structures. The attached outline identifies the number of

Financial Impact:$200,000 is requested
Alternatives:* Provide funding to demolish the 290 identified structures:

projects.

Item # 4
DEMOLITION OF UNSAFE AND UNINHABITABLE STRUCTURES
· Funds Allocated: 2014 Demolition Budget $35,000
· Funds Needed:
o Total identified unsafe / uninhabitable structures: 290
o Average demolition cost (2012 – 2013): $5,530
o Funds needed to demolish current list
of unsafe / uninhabitable structures: $1,603,700
· 115 (of the 290) structures = Court Order in hand and ready for demolition; we need the
asbestos survey and we can put them out for bid.
o Funds needed immediately: $635,950
· Approximately 250 additional structures have been identified that potentially will deteriorate
to the status of being a nuisance and will require abatement
through the Public Officer process of obtaining a Court Order for demolition
o Additional funds needed: $1,382,500
· Grand Total of funds needed at today’s estimated average costs: $2,986,200 ($1,603,700 +
$1,382,500)
· (Projected average cost to demolish each structure is $7,500; increase is due to additional
environmental regulations.)

Riverwalk Tree Abatement and Pruning
Department:Recreation, Parks and Facilities
Caption:Motion to approve an award of contract with Georgia Power
Company for $74,380 for tree abatement and pruning at the
Augusta Riverwalk.
Background:The Riverwalk, of which phase I was completed in 1985, put life
and energy into Augusta’s downtown. The Riverwalk became a
showplace for residents and visitors alike. In order to make
Riverwalk more inviting, the Department of Recreation, Parks and
Facilities wishes to raise up and thin the tree canopy to let in more
light. Additionally, hazard trees need to be removed. This project
will positively impact safety and security at this site.
Analysis:In an effort to address the tree management program, Augusta
solicited bids for a tree abatement and pruning program that will
focus on three tree work priorities:1) potentially hazardous
conditions; 2) preservation and overall health of the trees; and 3)
aesthetics. A total of seven firms participated in a mandatory pre
bid meeting. Four bids were received with the low, responsive
bidder being Georgia Power. See Attached Bid Summary)
Financial Impact:Total bid amount is $74,380.00
Alternatives:1. To Approve the tree abatement and pruning contract for the
Riverwalk to Georgia Power in the amount of $74,380 2. Move
No Action.
Recommendation:1. Move to Approve.

Transfer of Original Augusta Municipal Golf Course Clubhouse Painting to the Augusta Museum of
History
Department:Recreation, Parks and facilities
Caption:Motion to approve a transfer of ownership of an original
watercolor painting of the old “Patch” Clubhouse from the
Department of Recreation, Parks and Facilities to the Augusta
Museum of History.
Background:An original watercolor painting of the old “Patch” Clubhouse was
done by Clyde Wells, the former editorial cartoonist with the
Augusta Chronicle. Donated to Augusta, the painting depicted the
old clubhouse at the Augusta Municipal Golf Course,
affectionately known as the “Patch”. Since the construction of the
new clubhouse in 1999, the painting has been on permanent
display.
Analysis:In an effort to protect and preserve this iconic painting, the
Department of Recreation, Parks and Facilities, along with the
Augusta Museum of History would like to see this painting
housed at the Augusta Museum of History for display and proper
preservation. In turn, the Museum has agreed to provide the
Augusta Recreation, Parks and Facilities Department with a high
resolution reproduction to be placed in the current clubhouse.
Financial Impact:N/A
Alternatives:1. To Approve transfer of ownership an original painting of the
