(Requested by Commissioner Marion Williams) Background: Analysis: Financial Impact: Alternatives: Recommendation: Funds are Available in the Following Accounts: REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY: Engineering Services Committee Meeting 8/28/2018 1:05 PM Approve the Environmental Services Department - Keep Augusta Beautiful Division to create ordinances to fill Article 7 Secs. 1-4-95 to Secs. 1-4-102 of the Augusta, GA Code. Department:Environmental Services Presenter:Lori Videtto, Edkesha Anderson Caption:Approve the Environmental Services Department - Keep Augusta Beautiful Division to create ordinances to fill Article 7 Secs. 1-4-95 to Secs. 1-4-102 of the Augusta, GA Code. Background:Keep Augusta Beautiful was started by the Environmental Services Department, after Commission approval, in efforts to assist with cleaning the city, educating the public on litter prevention and recycling, and creating opportunities for beautification. In that vein, Keep Augusta Beautiful is seeking affiliation with Keep America Beautiful, the national organization on litter prevention, recycling, and beautification. Keep America Beautiful strives to provide metrics to determine the impact of community appearance on quality-of-life. These metrics may be used to establish plans, focus efforts, and quantify the impact of KAB affiliate programs and projects. Keep America Beautiful’s expertise in community improvement includes proven and effective methods to address litter prevention, beautification, and waste reduction and recycling in your community. Creating ordinances is a vital part of the program which involves community representatives from neighborhoods, businesses, and government to achieve partnership solutions and to promote individual responsibility, ownership, and pride in the results. In efforts to meet this portion of the affiliation process, Keep Augusta Beautiful is seeking approval to work on city ordinances that will become the Keep Augusta Beautiful Commission. These ordinances will create the appointment of an Executive Board that will assist in leading the organization as staff creates programs that will provide county-wide assistance to citizens, employees, businesses, and other interested parties. Analysis:The City code currently has a section reserved for the Augusta- Richmond County Beautification-Clean Community Commission. Keep Augusta Beautiful is requesting permission draft such ordinances that would establish the organization. This would allow Augusta the opportunity to have an entity dedicated to educating the public and cleaning up the city through public- private partnership efforts. The ordinances would function as an overview of the bylaws that will be adopted by Keep Augusta Beautiful – and are required to be completed as part of the affiliation process. Financial Impact:There is no financial impact to creating these ordinances Alternatives:1. approve the request to draft the Ordinances and continue the affiliation process. 2. do not approve and allow Keep Augusta Beautiful to function only as a division of ESD without the support of Keep America Beautiful. Recommendation:Allow the ordinances to be drafted. Funds are Available in the Following Accounts: none required. REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY: Finance. Law. Administrator.

Meter Purchasing for Various Successful Low Bidders from Utilities Department 2018 Meter Bid Item #18-218. Background:Utilities is in need of various types of meters and endpoints to meet all the requirements of size and type based on multiple variations of installation needs. AUD advertised and received several responses for all the various types of meters and radio read endpoints that match our current type of technology. Since AUD has several types of meters it may choose to employ in a given situation, the bid was designed to give us both flexibility of choice for the type of meter and the lowest cost based on the type of meter we want to install. This bid included meters with and without endpoints for each type, endpoints only, and a discounted price for parts needed to refurbish larger meters. Analysis:AUD has selected the following successful low bidders for each type of meter, as shown on the attached tally sheet: Badger Meter – all sizes of PD meters with endpoints attached, 5/8” meters without endpoints, all sizes of turbine meters with endpoints attached, 1-1/2 to 4” turbine meters without endpoints, all compound meters, fire hydrant meters and 1-1/2 to 2” ultrasonic meters Avanti – All Magnetic Flow meters except 6” and 8” Itron – All endpoints purchased separately Master Meter – Ultrasonic meters 3” and larger, all Fire Service meters Mueller – PD meters 1” and above without endpoints, 6 to 10” Turbine meters and 6 to 8” Magnetic Flow meters Neptune – 10” Magnetic Flow meters Financial Impact:Based on expected annual purchases, total cost is estimated at $1,299,659.20. Funding is available in 506043210/5315111 and 506043410/5315111 Alternatives:N/A Recommendation:Recommend approval of successful low bidders as noted on the attached schedule Funds are Available in the Following Accounts: 506043210/5315111 and 506043410/5315111 REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY: Finance.

The Blue Ridge Environrnental Defense League began twenty-eight years ago with a commitnent to earth stewmdship, environrnental dsmocracy, social justice and communitl empowerment. Since that frst campaign against a high-level nuclear waste dump, we have confronted hazardous waste and rnedical waste incinerators as well as nurnerous regional and rnulti-state solid r,r,aste dumps. BREDL chapters worked in their communities to raise hundreds ofthousands of dollars and wage long public campaigns to rvin victories against very porverful corporations. The principles and commiunent that u,e shared in 1984 are reflected in our goals for Z,ero Waste. Zero Waste advocates face many difficutt choices as they campaign for concepts such as Extended Producer Responsibilit-v- @PR), Clean Production and Cradle-to-Cradle ownership of products and rvaste. The goals of preserving resources and elirninating waste disposal require fundamental shifts in a consume,T economy rooted in exhaction, consumption, wasting and dumping. Corporate interests u,ho profit from the current economic rnodel control the process and have little incentive to adopt new ways of doing business. Changing consumer behavior in a marketplace contaminated with externalized costs presents an even greater challenge. A consumption economy depends on constantly finding new places to dispose of rvaste. Waste companies understand the poiitical process required to identifr those communities r*'here leaders can be convinced to take someone else's garbage. Often the sarne communities that have endured the extraction stage of production are now targeted to get the waste dump. Strip mines in the north and abandoned pine plantations in the south are popular targets. In general, they are rural, poor, minority, or conservative. This leaves them vulnerable to offers of what we have termed "dumping for dollars." Wealthy cities may not notice the extra dollar per ton that is paid to an unknovyrr nrral county where commissioners are anxious about their declining tax base. The megadump is easily sold as economic der.elopment to county oflFrcials with an uneducated, often under-employed, workforce, and a few absentee corporate landowners. Waste companies knou. horv to make this pitch. Every counfy needs a new school. Recycling, waste reduction, resource recovery parks and Extended Producer Responsibility are all essential parts of any campaign for Zero Waste. Out of sight-out of mind landfills are not. Exporting waste to poor communities is not. "Dumping for dollars" is not. We ackno*'ledge the power of grassroots campaigns to create the conditions necessary for change- We support a Zerc Waste rnovement that recognizes both the threats to landfill and incinerator cornmunities and the opportunities to include those communities in the larger efforts essential for success. Our original principles and demands for environmental democracy still apply today. p.3 Apr 02 18, 08:48a bredl utley 7067725558 Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League And the Concern Citizens of Shell Bluff a chapter member, Waynesboro, GA- The Richmond County Neighborhood Association, Augusta, GA Resolution Supporting A GOAL OF 100% CLEAN ENERGY By 2050 AND THE CREATION OF GREEN JOBS. \Mhereas, climate change has increased the global average surface temperature by I.00 degrees Celsius (i.8 degrees Fahrenheit) since 1880;l Vhereas, climate change is expected to increasingly impact temperatures, precipitation and sea level with harmful consequences in corning years; Vhereas, climate change and global average temperature increases are prirnarily due to hu:nan-caused fossil fuels ernissions, including coai, oil and natural gas, according to the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
