WALL County Attorney Mrs. Linda W. Beazley Administrator - Administration City-County Bldg. (11) Augusta, GA 30911 Reply To: p, O. BOX 2125 Augus1a, GA 30903 . Dear Linda: I am enclosing a contract between the Department of Army and Augusta-Richmond County to allow an additional PSAP to be located at Fort Gordon. I have reviewed this with Chief Hatfield, and the Sheriff's Department is in favor of this agreement. There will be no adverse financial costs to Augusta-Richmond County. Inasmuch as Major General Buchholz will be leaving Fort Gordon in August, I have been requested to try to have this agreement in place during his tenure as Commanding General at Fort Gordon. Therefore, I would appreciate your adding this to the August 6, 1996 agenda, even though it has not previously been submitted to the Public Safety Committee for their consideration. Thanking you and with best personal regards, I am very truly, .JBWjsjp B.
