James Caption:Motion to approve the agreement and acceptance of grant funds in the amount of $7,975.00 from the Georgia Emergency Management & Homeland Security Agency to purchase training material & equipment and authorize the Mayor to execute the required documents. Background:The Richmond County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) trains Richmond County citizens to assist in disaster related incidents in their neighborhoods until First Responders, Police, or medical help arrives. The citizens are the first to know of the damage in their area and are trained to provide initial basic assistance. These individuals are members of CERT (Community Emergency Response Teams) and prior to any member being included in the program, they must successfully complete CERT classes. Analysis:The grant funds allow the purchase of training materials and supplies to continue with the CERT training classes. CERT members are trained to provide immediate assistance in their area prior to the arrival of officially trained personnel in a disaster incident. Financial Impact:none Alternatives:none Recommendation:Approve the agreement and acceptance of the grant in the amount of $7,975.00 from the Georgia Emergency Management & Homeland Security Agency and authorize the Mayor to execute the required documents.

Clerk of Commission Public Safety Committee Meeting 10/31/2017 1:20 PM Agreement with the GA Emergency Management & Homeland Security Agency and acceptance of the Grant Award in the amount of $58,000.00 Department:Fire Department Presenter:Chief Christopher E. James Caption:Motion to approve the Agreement with the Georgia Emergency Management & Homeland Security Agency and approve acceptance of the grant award in the amount of $58,000.00 (Grant No.: SHO17-092) and authorize the Mayor to execute all required documents. Background:If an active shooter event happens in Augusta, Georgia, First Responders do not have adequate protection to provide a rapid response to the injured. Not having adequate protection, such as ballistics vents and helmets, our First Responders will have to wait longer to enter the area to provide firefighting services and more importantly, to provide medical attention or evacuation for any injured. Analysis:Approving this Agreement and acceptance of the grant award will allow the fire department to purchase ballistic vests, ballistic helmets and EMS side packets tactical. This will allow our firefighters/EMS and Special Operations Units to respond more readily to active shooter incidents after a "warm zone" is established by the Sheriff's office in order to save lives. Financial Impact:none Alternatives:none Recommendation:Approve the Agreement with the Georgia Emergency Management & Homeland Security Agency and approve acceptance of a grant award in the amount of $58,000.00 (Grant No.: SHO17-092) and authorize the Mayor to execute all required documents.

Clerk of Commission Public Safety Committee Meeting 10/31/2017 1:20 PM Applicaton and acceptance of grant from GA Emergency Management & Homeland Security Agency Department:EMA Presenter:Chief Christopher E. James Caption:Approve the application and acceptance of grant funds in the amount of $33,329.00 from Georgia Emergency Management & Homeland Security Agency and authorize the Mayor to execute the necessary documents. Background:Georgia Emergency Management & Homeland Security Agency offers grant funds to assist communities in providing Emergency Management programs. This application and acceptance of the grant funds would require a 50/50 match in the amount of $33,329.00 from Augusta to receive a like amount of $33,329.00 grant money from the Georgia Emergency Management & Homeland Security Agency. Analysis:This application and acceptance of the grant funds would assist in funding for Crisis Track Software, Storm Tracker Software, Community Emergency Notification System and EMA employee's salary for 2017. Financial Impact:$33,329.00 from the county as a 50/50 match Alternatives:Not approving the application and acceptance of the matching grant would place the financial burden solely on Augusta, Georgia, without any assistance from the Georgia Emergency Management & Homeland Security Agency grant assistance. Recommendation:Approve the application and acceptance of $33,329.00 grant funds from the Georgia Emergency Management & Homeland Security Agency with Augusta matching 50/50 funds and authorize the Mayor to execute the necessary documents.

Enrollment Site Georgia’s Yellow Dot Program Frequently Asked Questions What is Georgia’s Yellow Dot Program? Georgia’s Yellow Dot program is a free program designed to help first responders provide life-saving medical attention during that first “golden hour” after a medical emergency. A Yellow Dot in the driver's side rear window of your vehicle or the "triple tree" of your motorcycle will alert first responders that vital medical information is stored in the glove compartment. The Yellow Dot program can also be used in the home by placing the decal on or beside your front or entry door and placing the packet on your refrigerator. Who should use Georgia’s Yellow Dot Program? Georgia’s Yellow Dot Program can be used by anyone but may be most helpful for:  People with multiple or serious medical conditions  People with severe allergies  Children with special needs  Individuals with dementia who may be prone to driving I think I’ve seen Yellow Dot in other states. Is this the same program? The Yellow Dot program began in Connecticut in 2002. Many states have adopted the program. In other states, the Yellow Dot program is used for motor vehicle crashes. Georgia has expanded the program to include medical emergencies in the home. The Georgia Yellow Dot logo was created to look similar to other Yellow Dots so it could be recognized when you travel in other states. Is Yellow Dot in my community? At this time, Yellow Dot is only in two areas: Laurens County and Athens-Clarke County. These counties are participating in our pilot project and evaluation. Stay tuned to the website for more information on other sites! What is the cost for Yellow Dot? At this time, Georgia’s Yellow Dot program is free for those participating in the pilot/evaluation project in Laurens and Athens counties. I’ve seen Yellow Dot for sale online, should I get my materials there? No, for two reasons:  First, Georgia’s yellow dot is free for those participating in the pilot program (Laurens and Athens-Clarke Counties, respectively).  Second, only emergency personnel in the piloting counties have been trained to look for the Yellow Dot and to know where to find your medical information. If you order a Yellow Dot packet online but live in a county where your emergency personnel isn’t trained on the program, it will not be as beneficial to you. Why can’t I just print off a form and use it if I live in another county? The program only works if emergency responders and medical personnel at the hospital are trained to recognize the Yellow Dot decal, look for the form and use the information. Other counties have not been trained on the program. Where do I get a Yellow Dot Packet? Packets can be picked up at local enrollment sites. You can find a list of enrollment sites at www.aging.ga.gov/yellow-dot-program. New forms can be printed from the website if you need to update your form. How can my agency become an enrollment site? Please email yellowdot.info@dph.ga.gov for information on becoming an enrollment site. What type of picture should I use? Any picture can be used as long as you can clearly identify the person in the picture and there is only one person in the picture. The best photos have good lighting and a neutral background so it is easy to identify the person. Also, make sure to choose a photo that looks like you now, not you 10 years ago. You do not need your entire body in the photo. In fact, a photo from the shoulders up would work best. If you don’t already have a photo, the cheapest option is to have someone take a photo for you and either print it at home or have it printed at a store that prints pictures. You can usually get a single photo printed for less than $1. You will need to trim the photo to make it fit so be mindful of that when taking the photo. Don’t get too close. You can also choose to get a passport photo taken. These photos are a great size for the form but will cost more. Prices vary but are usually between $10 and $15 dollars. Many stores that print photos offer this service as well. I don’t want to put the decal on my car or house. Can I still participate in Georgia’s Yellow Dot Program? The decal alerts first responders to look for the form in the glove compartment, motorcycle saddle bag, or on the refrigerator. If you do not use the decal, there is no guarantee that first responders will know to look for the form; however, first responders have been encouraged to look for the form even without the decal if time permits. To save time and help your emergency responders, it is recommended to use the decal. I have information that I’m not comfortable putting on the form in case my family sees it. What should I do? Emergency responders and medical personnel will use the information that you put on the form. If information is blank or not checked, they will not assume you do not have that condition. They will use the protocols they use when they do not have information available. Are first responders and medical personnel required to utilize all of the information I put on my form? No. First responders will determine the most useful information from your form as it applies to the situation. They will also determine whether or not to use the forms based on how up-to-date they feel the forms are. How often should I update the form? You should update the form any time your information changes. At a minimum, you should review the form every six months. Even if you don’t make any changes, be sure to change the date updated fields on each page. Where can I get a new form? You can print a new form at www.aging.ga.gov/yellow-dot-program. I take a lot of medications. Do I have to write them out? It is important that medical professionals know the medications you are taking. If you already have a list of your medications, you can include a copy in your packet instead of writing them down. You can also ask your pharmacy to print out your medications and include the copy in your packet. What do I put in the yellow OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION box? This box is intended for any information you feel is important and was not captured on the form. Since this box will stand out to emergency responders and medical personnel, you can also highlight something you feel is especially important even if it is on the form. If you have an advance directive, living will or Physician Orders for Life- Sustaining Treatment (POLST) and did not include it in your Yellow Dot packet, you should list its location here. The form mentions POLST. What is that? Physician Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment (POLST) is a medical order that aims to enable seriously ill patients to designate the treatments they want and to ensure that those preferences are honored by medical professionals. The POLST is based on a conversation between you and your health care professional. The POLST conversation is about: (a) your specific disease, treatment options (including benefits and alternatives), and what will happen as the disease continues; and (b) your goals of care and values. After the conversation, your health care professional will fill out a POLST form, marking what treatments you do or do not want at the end of your life. Since the POLST is a medical order, once your health care professional signs it, it means that your treatment wishes will be known and should be followed during a medical emergency, regardless of where you are. You can read more about POLST at http://www.gapolst.org/ and http://www.polst.org/. My community is interested in participating in the Yellow Dot program. How do we get started? Currently, there is only funding for the Georgia Yellow Dot Program in the two pilot counties. If your community is able to purchase the packets, we are happy to work with you. The goal is for the program to become statewide if the pilot evaluation shows the program is effective. Therefore, we do not want multiple Yellow Dot programs in the state that would conflict with one another. If you want to bring Yellow Dot to your community, we ask that you use the Georgia Yellow Dot materials and do not make any changes to the form or instructions. You are able to add verbiage giving credit to the community partners that funded the program. We will put your information on the Georgia Yellow Dot Program website. Please email yellowdot.info@dph.ga.gov if your community is interested. If your question was not answered here, please email yellowdot.info@dph.ga.gov.

The ordinance eliminates jail time as a penalty for a conviction of possession of one ounce or less under the City Code. Possession of any amount of marijuana is still illegal under state law, and penalties can include jail time. "I am pleased to sign this ordinance, which eliminates jail time as a penalty for a conviction for possession of less than an ounce, into law. I also want to thank Councilmembers Keisha Lance Bottoms and Kwanza Hall for their work not only to pass this ordinance, but also to make sure our officers in the Atlanta Police Department receive the appropriate training," said Mayor Reed. "People of color, young and low-income people are disproportionately jailed - with sentences up to six months - for possessing small amounts of marijuana. An average of r,ooo people are arrested each year in Atlanta for possession only. We needed to change that. I believe our public safety resources are better directed to stopping and preventing violent crime." The ordinance does not legalize or decriminalize possession of marijuana. It addresses the disparity in the punishment for possession. Research shows that white and black Americans use marijuana at similar levels, yet black Americans are arrested and charged at higher rates. https ://www. atlantaga. gov/Home/ComponentsA{ewsArlew s/ 81921 1338 t0/12/20t7 Atlanta, GA : News List : Mayor Kasim Reed Signs Marijuana Ordinance into Law Page 2 of 3 During Mayor Reed's two terms in office, the Atlanta Police Department has been focused on reducing violent crime and getting violent criminals offthe street. Crime has dropped by more than 35 percent since he took office. The City of Atlanta is a second chance employer, and removed questions related to prior convictions from emplo5rment applications in zor3. The Atlanta City Council formalized this policy in zor4 when it passed a 'Ban the Box' ordinance. In December 2cL4, President Barack Obama announced a Task Force on ztst Century Policing, which brought law enforcement officers together with experts from academia, youth activists and community and civil rights leaders to develop recommendations to help strengthen trust between communities and law enforcement, while also reducing crime rates. The Atlanta Police Department is one of 15law enforcement agencies recognized for excellence in the adoption of zrst Century Policing principles. The City of Atlanta has also launched a pilot pre-arrest diversion program, which aims to direct people to social services rather than the criminal justice system, when the criminal activity is likely related to untreated mental illness, addiction and extreme poverty. The program launched with multiple agency partners earlier this year, including Fulton County. https ://www. atlantaga. gov/F{ome/ComponentsA.lews/lrtrew s I 8 1 921 I 33 8 t0/t2120t7 pr {3{}** i-it f.q*" . r,'Y-1S- \t q\r" ff" *#iiff s.3 9"\& '-!%,*t! 1Jl-h" J1 :^tr'l i1.r"t"t*:l .:-i*$ n b { h)2 rn> ,r ,qt in li4 lu lzt\ IF lI. la, I r* r} (?' 4t\e- ,., It'J It'J =l ililnl> fr nl = H gi El C (rllffiNFF1IHFi } :e Ifi.Ji- rlJlililiFa ^t allf.*F: fr ?o|ryh = Elfr{.,,:i J | #-ni*fr :I T-JI ffii: ; ,Ul WE':it!t'ixfr I'iql EIFrl*Ixl i i j i I I I tt (?

This is because: . An accurate roadside test for drug levels in the body dorsn't exist. ' Marijuana can remain in a user's system for days or weeks after last use {depending on how much a person uses and how often they use marijuana), . Drivers are not always tested for drug use, especially if they have an illegal blood alcohol concentration level because that is enough evidence for a driving-while- impaired clrarge. . lVhen tested for sulrstance use lollorving a crash, clrivers can have both drugs and alcohol or multiple dn"rgs in their system, making it hard to know wlrich substarrce contributed n"lore to the crash. ls there a legal limit for marijuana impairment tuhile nperatins a vehicle? Lar,trs vary fronr rtate to state. lf you Intend to drive, the safest option is not to have any alcohol or drugs in your system at all.

MOU agreement with Family Connections of Columbia County, Inc., (CCCC) to provide Aggression Replacement Traini Department:Richmond County Juvenile Court Presenter:Bill Dean Caption:Approve a request from Richmond County Juvenile Court for the Commission and Mayor to accept the modification of these revised and new MOU providers for the fifth Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC) Juvenile Justice Grant Award of $300,000.00. We have included the MOU agreement with CSI, Inc. for $145,000.00 remaining in the grant ending on June 30, 2018 and the new MOU with Family Connections of Columbia County, Inc., (CCCC) for $84,000 to provide Aggression Replacement Training® (ART) groups beginning October 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018. Richmond County has provided evidence- based programs this grant year beginning July 1st to ten (10) youth qualifying males and female juveniles charged with serious felonies and property crimes. Background:The Richmond County Juvenile Court currently receives $300,000.00 funding through the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC) Juvenile Incentive Grant (FY2017) to provide Multi-systemic Therapy (MST) to targeted juvenile offenders in Richmond County by Community Solutions, Inc. (CSI). The MST program is currently providing intensive therapy to high-risk offenders and their families in lieu of short term incarceration (30 days) or Commitment to DJJ (up to 5 years). The Aggression Replacement Training® (ART) groups will meet for ten (10) weeks and provide group therapy for twenty (20) youth to address a variety of issues surrounding aggressive behaviors, moral reasoning and social skills/decision making. The groups are designed to help youth process the whys that lead to aggressive behaviors and offer choice solutions to help avoid conflicts that lead to criminal charges. The services will be provided through the Family Connections of Columbia County, INC., organization which has provided these groups to Columbia County Juvenile Court for several years. Mrs. DaCara Brown will serve as the new Coordinator of the grant with transitional assistance from Bill Dean, current coordinator, at no additional cost to the grant. A new budget breakdown is also being presented to reflect the adjusted expenses for the remainder of the year. Analysis:The Court has continued to experience increasing referrals from the Richmond County Sheriff’s Department and Board of Education Public Safety Officer’s concerning felony and high and aggravated misdemeanor offenses. ( since July 1st , 84 youth have been adjudicated for serious felonies and over 100 + referrals made to DJJ for aggressive misdemeanor and felony offenses) Many of these youth come from high risk low socioeconomic environments where the parents have little or no parenting skills to control serious delinquent juvenile behaviors. Statistics show that incarceration does not rehabilitate these young offenders. However, if the parents and youth can learn and implement evidence-based intervention at an early age, many of the continued delinquent aggressive behaviors could be avoided. Financial Impact:The funding for the grant began July 1, 2017. The grant continues through June 30, 2018. The Juvenile Court expects in 2017-2018 to serve over forty juveniles and their families (20 through MST and 20 with ART). The State Juvenile Justice Incentive Grant is currently approved at $300,000.00. This includes an additional $3200 for program operating expenses(internet, travel and supplies) There are no matching funds required from the County. According to statistics from the Department of Juvenile Justice the cost to incarcerate a juvenile for one year is $90,000.00 to $100,000.00. The savings to Georgia/Richmond County taxpayers for the youth directed to the MST and/or ART program instead of incarceration is significant. Alternatives:Incarceration or county funded programs in lieu of incarceration. Recommendation:The Court respectfully requests the Augusta/Richmond County Commission and the Mayor accept the amended CSI and new Family Connections of Columbia County, INC., MOU agreements. Also approve DaCara Brown as new grant Coordinator at no additional cost. Augusta/Richmond County will serve as the funding agent and provide financial reimbursements to Community Solutions Inc. for implementation of the MST program and Family Connections of Columbia County, INC., for implementation of Aggression Replacement Training® (ART). This is the reimbursement system currently in place for the existing grant. The State of Georgia will again reimburse Augusta- Richmond County on a quarterly basis.
