County Correctional Institute.
2. Approval of $556,800.50 (Sheriff, $519,900.50;
$36,900) for the purchase of furniture and

County Detention Center on Phinizy Road.

Company and Augusta-Richmond County for one year (July I, 1997 to

Mr. Zetterberg:
Second.
Motion carried unanimously.
A communication from the Emergency Management Director requesting
to appoint Terrell' L. Washburn to the Local Emergency Planning
Committee to fill the unexpired term of Joe Muller, ending April

Mr. Kuhlke:
So move.
Mr. Zetterberg:
Second.
Motion carried unanimously.
An Update from the Emergency Management Director to Commissioners
on the Local Emergency Planning Committee "Risk Management proj ect"
and "Meteorological Monitoring System".

....:"'- ""
Mr. cZetterberg:
.'
r move that we accept this as information,.
.'
Mr. Kuhlke:
So move.
Motion carried unanimously.
A request from the Administrator to aDo rove an Ordinance revising
Title 6, Section 6-.6-47 of the Augusta-Richmond County Code
regarding issuance of "Going Out of Business Sale" licenses.
Mr. Oliver: What this does is tighten up the time frame for
going out of business, it says that it is 90 calendar days with the
possibility of a 60 day extension. This company has to be in
business for 12 months. That is the actual Ordinance change, before
it only counted business days, obviously that is kind of tricky,
because now most business are open seven days 'a week. That will
tighten up that side. The other part of it that Mr. Walker and I
talked about was, we would not only get their inventory that they
had, but also any items that they have ordered that they have
currently not received. That way there wouldn't be any question as
to what may come in. So consequently, we would recommend these
changes or amendments to the going out of business part of the
Ordinance.
Mr. Zetterberg:
So move.
Mr. Kuhlke:
Second.
Motion carried unanimously.
A request from Chief Ronnie Few to approve the organizational chart
for the Augusta-Richmond County Fire Department.
Chief Few: What we did was look at the organization itself
and looked for acceu.p.tability. Some of the jobs, through attrition
we can redline because we don't need that much authority in seme of
the different locations.. By redline I mean, as people leave or
retire those positions will not be replaced_ Our training program
is almost non-existent.at this time, and that has to be improved.
We don't have a training program at this time and we are trying to
work with some of the private industries in the area because they
need training also, and to cut the cost. We are trying to do some
things together. With this chart we have slim lined and put some
people in positions of authority that we feel like? We haven't
promoted anybody, but we have an organizational chart now that will
take care of accouncability on a daily basis so we can put our
hands on where the probl>ems lie.
At this time Chief ?ew presents the organizational chart for the
Fire Department.
Mr. Kuhlke: What is your timetable from the standpoint of
putting people in c~ose positions?
. '
;;,., . ~ .'
Chief Few: I have to go out and get someone to come in and do
the promotional process, in about three' to six months we should
have somebody in place. We can get the upper administration up
very quickly, because that is a mini assessment.
Mr. Zetterberg: I would like to make a motion that we approve
the organizational chart for the ARC Fire Department.
Mr. Mays:
Second.
Motion carried unanimously.
A communication from Chief Ronnie Few requesting approval to change
the Promotional Precess in the Fire Deoartment, to eliminate the
awarding of points by the Fire Chief, and to hire a consultant to
administer the promotional test.
Mr. Oliver: There is a policy right now as Chief Few had
indicated where the Chief gives 20 points. Obviously with 20
points you can affect the outcome, there is no question about that,
and it basically becomes the Chief's decision.
Mr. Zetterberg: I would like to make a motion move that we go
along with the Chief and eliminate the awarding of points by the
Fire Chief. Also, the Fire Chief along with the Administrator
bring back the cost and parameters of hiring a consultant to
administer the promotional test.
Mr. Mays:
Second.
Motion carried unanimously.
A communication from Chief Ronnie Few requesting authorization to
have a pre-ISO inspection performed in late fall of 1997. The cost
of this inspection is not to exceed $5,000.00
Mr. Zetterberg: I would like to make a motion that we go
ahead and approve this at the cost of $5,000.00 with just the
modification that if we can find it for free by one of the national
organizations I would like to have us do that.
Mr. Mays:
Second.
Motion carried unanimously.
A communication from Chief Few to hire a consultant to perform a
study and present finqings on Fire Station locations within
Augusta-Richmond County. The cost of this consultant study will
not exceed $5,000.00.
this
back
cost
Mr, Oliver: The person that Chief Few was considering to do
study is unable to do it. 'So we mav have to brine this item
to you again, because we believe we-will have to get another
figure. Clearly, we believe that this needs to be done
