2017 NRPA Grant for a Healthy Out-of-School Time Program
Department:Recreation and Parks
Presenter:H. Glenn Parker
Caption:Motion to approve the National Recreation and Park Association’s
(NRPA) grant for a “Healthy Out-of-School Time Program” in the
amount of $25,000.00.
Background:The Augusta Recreation and Parks Department is to receive a
grant from the NRPA to establish a “Healthy Out-of-School Time
Program”. The scope of the program is to increase the number of
healthy meals children in low-income communities receive
through Summer Food Service Programs, Child and Adult Care
Food Programs and teaching about the importance of healthy
nutrition. The funds will allow to implement the program at
Blythe, Bernie Ward, Diamond Lakes, Garrett, McBean, Warren
Road, Brigham, Eastview, Barton Village, and possibly other
community centers to be determined.
Analysis:The grant provides the mechanism for Augusta, Georgia to receive
$25,000.00 in 2017.
Financial Impact:Augusta does not have to match the grant and the program can be
implemented within existing programs.
Alternatives:1. To approve the 2017 NRPA grant for the Augusta Recreation
and Parks Department. 2. To deny, this would result in forfeiting
grant funds and educational resources.
Recommendation:To approve the 2017 NRPA grant for the Augusta Recreation and
Parks Department.

Office of the Director Memorandum
To: Janice Allen-Jackson, Administrator
From: H. Glenn Parker, Director
Subject: Recreation and Parks Rental Hours
Date: April 19, 2017
We reviewed sixteen local venues asking them:
1. Hours of operation
2. Staff besides the rental staff required by the venue
3. Other staff fees; general rental fees
4. Do you require an electrician
5. Copy of their contract
Most facilities gave us answers to the questions we asked. Some understandability did not respond.
We attempted to talk with venues that are open for anyone to rent. Some are government and some
are private.
We have combined all this information into the attached spreadsheet.
Our focus was on the hours of operation but while asking we wanted to get as much information as we
could.
What we found…
- Of the local venues we spoke with, no one allows events past midnight.
- All clean-ups are required to be done by 1:00 a.m.
- Most venues require some type of security. Some were mandatory and some are based upon
the event.
- No one required an electrician except the Columbia County Exhibition Center and that was only
for special needs.
Included is a copy of our contract. Under House Rules for Rentals #10, it states that we are open until
12:00 a.m. and that clean-up must be completed by 1:00 a.m.

Beverage service must stop 30 minutes prior the scheduled ending time. This information is on page
one of the contract.
According to staff, we have only received two requests so far this year to extend the time to 1:00 a.m.
at the Julian Smith Casino. One of the requests was for a New Year’s Eve rental and we did allow the
renter to extend their time to 1:00 a.m.
My recommendation is to leave our rental hours as they are for the time being. If a renter request to
extend the hours we will ask them to give us a written explanation for the need to be open later. Staff
would then make a recommendation to the Director for approval.
I think we need to approach this from a bigger picture. I think Recreation and Parks along with the
Administrator’s office, Sheriff’s Office, DDA and possibly Planning need to amend the Noise Ordinance
and make a recommendation to modernize this ordinance. I think we need “zones” within the noise
ordinance for downtown, residential, commercial areas, etc. and that times be set accordingly within
the zones to reflect the location. Currently we have a noise ordinance that covers that entire county.
Once the Noise Ordinance is amended, then I think we can look to expand the hours of some of our
locations such as the Common to reflect the noise ordinance.
Regarding electricians…
We require electricians at the Augusta Common, Amphitheater and the Indian Festival at Lock and
Dam Park. Electricians are not needed for every event booked at the Common or the Amphitheater.
Electricians are used for the large events with a major stage production and events that have vendors
that will be using the electricity. We have some 220 amp power boxes that need to be connected by
our electricians. They are assigned in case we have issues with the power during the events. If a stage
production goes out, we have the electricians on site to fix the problem or issue. Otherwise if we have
a problem or issue with the power we would have to wait until the electricians arrive on site. The
electricians are paid by the event organizer at the rate of $22.00 per hour with a 4 hour minimum. For
large events 2 electricians are assigned and on smaller events we assign 1 electrician. For some of the
smaller events no electrician is assigned.
Events such as Arts in the Heart require electricians. This event uses all the power outlets and they
bring in generators. This keeps the electricians busy with the amount of equipment used for this event.
We have other events that require large set up and all of the power outlets are used. If electricians are
not on site, we would have to call an electrician to the event without knowing how long it could take to
resolve the power issue.
Please let me know what questions you have.

Subcommittee on City's Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance
Department:
Presenter:Commissioner Sammie Sias
Caption:Approve establishing a subcommittee to review and recommend changes
to the city's Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance how zoning exceptions are
done in residential subdivisions and in other areas. (Requested by
Commissioner Sammie Sias) (Referred from April 25 Public Services
Committee)
Background:The citizens of our city live in our neighborhoods and they are the
bedrock of our tax base. Inflicting unwanted business and undesired
elements into our neighborhood over the objections of our citizens is a
recipe for disaster. We must take a very close look at this issue in a very
comprehensive manner. Neighborhood Covenants, Home Owner
Associations Bylaws and Neighborhood Associations Bylaws all matter
because these are governing documents for our citizens where they live
and raise their families. These neighborhood documents are due a
measure of respect from this government.
