Dear Mayor Y OU!1g:
The attached contract when executed commits state funds in the amount of $10,000 for operating
funds for the Imperial Arts Theater.
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
two 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.

MEMORANDUM
To:
Imperial Arts Theatre
From:
James B. Wall
Date:
September 9,1999
The Attorney General issued a Memorandum to Jim Higdon, Commissioner of Community
Affairs, on August ] 7, 1999 concerning local assistance grants for fiscal year ] 999-2000. In 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, J 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 "such 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, sll1ce we must provide one copy to DCA. The
remaining copy is for the City's records.
Please execute both copies of the contract in order 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.

STATE OF GEORGIA
RICHMOND COUNTY
GRANT AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into this ~ day of ~,
1999, between AUGUSTA, GEORGIA, a political subdivision of the State of Georgia,
acting by and through the Augusta-Richmond County Commission, (hereinafter
referred to as "Augusta"); and IMPERIAL COMMUNITY THEATER, INC. (hereinafter
referred to as the "Organization");
WIT N E SSE T H:
WHEREAS, the Organization has submitted to the Georgia Department of
Community Affairs and to Augusta a proposal to provide certain services as set
forth in the Application for funding filed with the State, which is incorporated
herein by reference; and
WHEREAS, Augusta deems the services to be provided by the
Organization as essential and necessary for the citizens of Augusta and
acknowledges that the Organization can provide the services in a cost-effective
and efficient manner;
NOW, THEREFORE, FOR AND IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants and
agreement between the parties, it is agreed as follows:
1. Augusta agrees to appropriate to the Organization, and the
Organization accepts, the sum of $10,000.00 (the "Funds"), to be paid to
Organization upon execution of this Agreement upon the terms set forth in the
Grant from the State of Georgia, which is incorporated herein by reference.
2. In consideration of such appropriation of the Funds, the
Organization agrees to perform the following services, which Augusta has
determined renders a substantial benefit to its citizens, to wit: To provide for
an art program and a facility for the arts, that is open to the public.
1
;r.
~.
, i
Augusta has the power to perform such services under the Constitution
of the State of Georgia, Article 9, Section 2, Paragraph 3, and the services are
authorized by one or more of the following powers set forth in said Constitution
or by general law including but not limited to the following:
o Police and fire protection;
o Garbage and solid waste collection and disposal;
o Public health facilities and services, including
hospitals, ambulance and emergency rescue services, and
animal control; ,
o Street and road construction and maintenance, including
curbs, sidewalks, street lights, and devices to control
the flow of traffic on streets and roads constructed by
counties and municipalities or any combination thereof;
o Parks, recreational areas, programs, and facilities;
o Storm water and sewage collection and disposal systems;
o Development, storage, treatment, purification, and
distribution of water;
o Public housing;
o Public transportation;
~ Libraries, archives, and arts and sciences programs and
facilities;
o Terminal and dock facilities and parking facilities;
o Codes, including building, housing, plumbing, and
electrical codes; or
o Air quality control
3, Organization further agrees to expend the Funds for the said
purposes and to account for such Funds in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.
2
_i'
. .
4. The Organization shall hold harmless and indemnify Augusta, its
officers, elected officials, agents, employees, and representatives, from and
against any and all claims resulting from or arising out of the appropriation
provided according to this Agreement, including, without limitation, damage
claims for injury to persons or property.
The Organization expressly
acknowledges that, by appropriating the Funds outlined in this Agreement, Augusta
has not assumed or undertaken any legal duties as to the Organization or others.
The Organization agrees to make no claims or demands against Augusta, its
officers, elected officials, agents, employees and/or representatives, for any
damages that may result from or arise out of the appropriation of Funds pursuant
to this Agreement, even if such claims or demands are made against the
Organization.
5. Upon request, the Organization agrees to provide Augusta with
any information Augusta deems necessary to fulfill its obligations under the
Grant Agreement with the State of Georgia and further agrees to give Augusta the
right to audit all records related to this Agreement, and the Organization's
performance thereunder.
6. The Organization acknowledges that under the Open Meetings Law
for the State of Georgia (O.C.G.A. ~ 50-14-1, et seq.) if the Organization
receives as a direct allocation tax funds which constitute more than 33 1/3% of
its funds from all sources, it may be required to comply with the Open Meetings
Law.
Further the Organization acknowledges that all records relating to this
Agreement and the services to be provided under the Grant may be a public record
subject to Georgia's Open Records Act (O.C.G.A. ~ 50-18-70, et seq.).
Organization shall cooperate fully in responding to such request and making all
records, not exempt, available for inspection and copying as provided by law.
7. Organization certifies that it is a tax exempt entity under ~
.3
; .
50l(c) of the Internal Revenue Code.
8. Organization acknowledges that one of the constraints imposed
by the Georgia Constitution on the implementation of grants through private
parties is the prohibition against sectarian aid. The Constitution provides in
Article 1, Section 2, Paragraph 7: "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." This "Sectarian Aid" clause
prohibits the performance of a public function through a contract for services
by a religious organization, even if the program is conducted neutrally, without
reference to such beliefs and practices. [The words of this prohibition have
their ordinary meanings. 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 I church I 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 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
. .',' .
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.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have caused these presents to be
executed by their proper officers and hereunto set their hands and affixed their
seals, the day and year first above written.

Grant No. 00-C-L-403
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.
(b). 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 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.
(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 Al!reement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among and
between the parties. There are no representations. oral or otherwise. other than those expressly set
forth herein. No amendment or modification of this Agreement shall be binding unless both parties
have agreed to said modification in writing.

EXHIBIT A
The Local Assistance Grant shall be used by Richmond County for operating funds for Imperial
Theater in Richmond Comity.
. If the preceding statement of purpose designates a private program or entity for
accomplishing its purpose. the purpose must be accomplished through a contract for.
services by the named private entity. or the private entity that conducts the named
program. If the appropriation specifies not only an implementing entity but also a use of
funds by the entity, such as improvement of a facility, Grant Recipient must impose that
use as a condition in the contract for services. The services must provide the Grant
Recipient with a substantial benefit.
. To illustrate. suppose the appropriation is for a grant for renovating the facility of an
historical society. An appropriate implementation might be a contract for services in which
the historical society promises that its historical displays will be open to the public during
stated hours for a stated term. Or a grant for cataloging the society's papers might be
implemented by a society promise to conduct public lectures at the Grant Recipient's own
historical sites. These are illustrations only.
. It is a responsibility of Gra.nt Recipient to see that its undertaking is lawful and the return
is substantial. No act or failure to act by DCA will waive the requirement of compliance or
prevent the State from asserting noncompliance.
