CAPTION: Motion to approve the award of RFP #16-182 Hazard Mitigation Plan Update to Atkins
North America, Inc. and authorize the Mayor to execute the appropriate documents.
BACKGROUND: The Hazard Mitigation Plan forms the foundation for a community's long-term
strategy to reduce disaster losses and break the cycle of disaster damage, reconstruction and repeated
damage. The planning process is as important as the plan itself. lt creates a framework for risk-based
decision making to reduce damages to lives, property, and the economy from future disasters. State
and local governments are required to develop and maintain a hazard mitigation plan as a condition of
receiving certain types of hazard mitigation disaster assistance, emergency and non-emergency. The
requirements and procedures for state and local mitigation plans are found in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) at Title 44, Chapter 1, Part 2Al{t44 CFR Part 201).

County Correctional Institute Educational Incentive Plan
Department:Richmond County Correctional Institution
Presenter:Evan Joseph
Caption:Approve Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between
Augusta, Georgia and the Georgia Department of Corrections
(GDC) to provide access to resources for offenders who do not
have a high school diploma or GED, or who could benefit from a
technical college certificate.
Background:The City of Augusta currently houses state inmates. The Georgia
Department of Corrections pays the city a per diem of twenty
($20.00) dollars per day per inmate. As part of the Governor’s
Prison Reform (Re-Entry Plan), the GDC has created The County
Correctional Institute Educational Incentive Plan (CCIEIP). This
plan will provide additional funding to County Prisons that offer
educational programs- (GED and/or Vocational Programs
sanctioned by a Technical College).
Analysis:The County Correctional Institute Educational Incentive Plan
“CCIEIP” is designed to assist County Prisons in meeting the
educational needs of offenders. This will also be a financial
benefit for the City of Augusta.
Financial Impact:No negative impact on the City. RCCI currently has the
infrastructure (Classroom, GED material etc.) and also an
instructor. The Georgia Department of Corrections will
compensate the City based on program availability and number of
offenders who obtain their GED or vocational training certificate.
Alternatives:
Recommendation:Approve the (MOU) between Augusta, Georgia and the Georgia
Department of Corrections to initiate the County Correctional
Institute Educational Incentive Plan (“CCIEIP”).
