I must call your attention to two provisions in this contract that based on advice from the Attorney General deserve your careful attention. The first deals with Sectarian Aid (Item 12) and relates to the prohibition in the Georgia Constitution against grants to any church, cult, religious denomination or sectarian institution. Should this grant fall into that category, I would ask that you consult with your local attorney. The second deals with grants to private entities and is covered in Exhibit A of this contact. Should this grant fall into that category, I again urge that you or your attorney carefully review this exhibit. If, after reviewing the agreement, you wish to proceed please execute it by signing and returning t~o copies to me. I will then sign for the Department and return a copy to you along with a check representing the first payment. The Department of Community Affairs is pleased to assist the General Assembly and Augusta- Richmond County in the administration of this grant. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me or either Amy Thompson at 404.679,3154 or Bobby Stevens at 404,679.4943. 0:* Jim Higdon Commissioner JH/ja Enclosure cc: Richmond County Legislative Delegation ~.;tl~i EQUAL HOUSING ~ OPPORTUNITY L:.J 60 Executive Park South, N.E. · Atlanta, Georgia 30329-2231 · (404) 679-4940 www.dca.state.ga.us An Equal Opportunity Employer * Recycled Paper ;- '/ j- I I Application for L~cal Assistap.ce Gr,ant Local Assistance Grams are made pursuanc co O:c.G.A. ~50-8-8(a)'which provides in pettinenc pare: ' "The department shall make gr,ants to eligible recipients or qualified local governments, which grantsar.e specified by amount, recipient, and purpose in an appropriation to the tkpartme1J.t" }, Recipient identified by the General Asse,mbly in Appropriations Act: Richmond County 2.

SHEPARD LEE BEARD Mayor Pro Tern CHARLES R, OLIVER, P E, CPA Administrator MEMORANDUM To: RIVER RACE AUGUSTA From: James B. Wall Date: September 13, 1999 The Attorney General issued a Memorandum to Jim Higdon, Commissioner of Community Affairs, on August 17, 1999 concerning local assistance grants for fiscal year 1999-2000, [n that memorandum, he addressed two issues and concerns, The first concern is for funds for a grant to a local government for the benefit of an apparently private organization, He concluded that the grants should be authorized only when the local government recipient makes the funds available to the private entity in the form of a contract for services, In addition, the contract must show the scope of services and how the scope of services is in aid of a lawful activity whose benefit to the County is substantial. The previous contract which we have used with private entities, which you may have already signed, meets the first requirement, i,e" it is a contract for services; however, I am concerned the DCA may reject the earlier contract because it does not clearly show the scope of services as being in aid of a lawful activity with a benefit substantially to the County, Therefore, I have revised the contract to provide additional language in this regard. Please review the scope of services to insure it accurately states the purpose for which the grant will be utilized. The second concern was the constitutional prohibition against paying funds to,' or contracting with, a sectarian entity, We have been required to conduct "suc~ factual inquires as may be reasonably necessary to enforce" the sectarian aid_prohibition, Accordingly, I have included a certification that your ' organization is not "organized out of belief in.God or other supernatural beings", which is a requirement for your organization being eligible for the grant funds. I have attached two copies of'the contract, slllce we must provide one copy to DCA. The remaining copy is for the City's records, . - . Please execute both copies of thecontra~t inon:ter that they may be returned to me, Further, if you should have any questions concerning either the scope of services or the certification, please call me, \. . ..

Grant No. OO-C-L-404 Page 3 of 5 12. Sectarian Aid. (a), One of the constraints imposed by the Georgia Constitution on the implementation of grants through private parties is the prohibition against sectarian aid. In the words of the Constitution. "No money shall ever be taken from the public treasury, directly or indirectly, in aid of any church. sect. cult, or religious denomination or of any sectarian institution," Ga. Const.. Art, I, Sec. II. Par. VII, (h), The "Sectarian Aid" clause prohibits the performance of a public function through a contract for services by a religious organization, Bennett v, City oj LaGrange. 153 Ga, 428 (1922) (city may not engage Salvation Army to conduct welfare program), This is true even if the program is conducted neutrally, without reference to such beliefs and practices, 1988 Op, Att'y Gen, Att'y Gen, No. U88-6, (c), The words of this prohibition have their ordinary meanings, In Bennett. the Supreme Court indicated that "religious" connotes faith in God. 153 Ga, at 433, or, as the dictionary puts it, belief in the supernatural as creator and governor of the universe. The American Heritage Dictionary Second College Edition 1044 (1982). "The term 'church' is one of very comprehensive signification. and imports an organization for religious purposes. for the public worship of God." 153 Ga, at 433, "Sect". "cult" and "denomination" also relate to "a distinct organization." with "a common system of faith." "holding sentiments or doctrines" which distinguish it. "Institution" may have a similar meaning related to "organization." but may also mean a "custom. practice. relationship. or behavioral pattern of importance in the life of a community or society," The American Hentage Dictionary Second College Edition 666 (1982). In other words the grant recipients may not contract for services with any entity organized out of belief in God or other supernatural beings, It is a "comprehensive signification." 153 Ga, at 433, (d), Without limiting any other provision of this grant agreement. it is the responsibility of the Grant Recipient to comply with this prohibition and to conduct such factual inquiries as may be reasonably necessary to enforce it. and the Recipient's acceptance of the grant constitutes a promise to do so. No act or failure to act by DCA in regard to the submission will waive the requirement of compliance or prevent the State from asserting noncompliance, 13. Entire A,Ilreement.

Organization certifies that it is a tax exempt entity under ~ 3 .' '- 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code. 8.

In Bennett v. City of LaGrange, 153 Ga, 428(1922), the Supreme Court indicated that "religious" connotes faith in God, 153 Ga, at 433, or, as the dictionary puts it, belief in the supernatural as creator and governor of the universe, The American Heritage Dictionary Second College Edition 1044 (1982) . "The term 'church' is one of very comprehensive signification, and imports an organization for religious purposes, for the public worship of God." 153 Ga, at 433. "Sect", "cult" and "denomination" also relate to a "distinct organization," with "a common system of faith," "holding sentiments or doctrines" which distinguish it, "Insti tution" may have a similar meaning related to "organization," but may also mean a "custom, practice, relationship, or behavioral pattern of importance in the life of a community or society." The American Heritage Dictionary Second College Edition 666 (1982), In other words the grant recipients may not contract for services with any entity organized out of belief in God or other supernatural beings. It is a "comprehensive signification." 153 Ga. at 433,] Augusta may not contract for services with any entity organized out of belief in God or other supernatural beings. 9. Organization certifies that Augusta has made inquiry of 4 0:;" .-.' " ... ~.' r', '- Organization as to whether it is "organized out of belief in God or other supernatural beings" and Organization hereby certifies to Augusta that it is not so organized and that it is not a religious organization as defined above. 10. Augusta may terminate this Agreement, with or without cause, upon five business days written notice to the Organization, If at the time of termination, any funds under this Agreement have not been disbursed to the Organization, said funds shall be retained by the City, 11, In addition to the indemnification provision set forth in paragraph 4 hereof, Organization agrees that this Agreement shall terminate should it be determined the Grant from the State to Augusta is in violation of any law or be declared invalid for any reason, and Organization shall refund or reimburse to Augusta any monies paid pursuant to this Agreement.
