AU2usta-Richmond Consolidated Government Space Utilization Study
Introduction
On January 1, 1996 the City of Augusta and Richmond Country consolidated to form the Augusta-
Richmond County Government. This was doneto combine serv,ices and government entities for the
efficiency of government and to eliminate the provision of duplicated resources and services. The
goal is to work together as one entity for the benefit of all residents.
A Space Allocation committee was established to take on the task of developing plans to physically
combine departments of the former two governments. As the initial moves were completed it became
apparent that more changes were required and long term planning was necessary. Duckett And
Associates, inc. has been commissioned to provide programming services to the Consolidated
Government to develop a plan for implementation that improves the utilization of office space for all
government department and divisions.
PurposelMethodology
This document defines the five facility plan options determined by Duckett And Associates to be the
most viable solutions to meet the County's office space needs for the next 10 years.
,
Each plan has advantages, as well as disadvantages. The cost and implementation time will also vary
for each option. In preparing the costs associated with each option, Duckett and Associates utilized
square footage costs which vary depending on the facility and intended usage. In addition to square
footage building costs, line item costs were included for other items and construction necessary to
implement the options. A relocation/staging cost has been included for each option. This line item
indicates the interim costs associated with each option.
While reviewing the options, it became apparent that certain existing facilities would be best utilized
housing specific departments. Our recommendation for these outlying department facilities therefore.
remained fairly consistent across the board. The five options primarily differ with the placement of
the Judicial and Administrative functions.
In determining the most viable solutions for the County the following goals and objects were
considered: .
The goal of the space utilization study is to maximize the spatial effectiveness of the
Consolidated Government's facilities and plan for the future to better serve the taxpayers of
the County.
· To determine the suitabili.ty. of Augusta-Richmond County-owned office facilities to
current space needs.
To efficiently define space allocation, the suitability of existing facilities in accommodating
current needs and growth must be determined. Upon assessing the suitability of facilities that
provide administrative space, the construction direction was then analyzed.

All2usta-Richmond Consolidated Government Space Utilization Study
Introduction
.
To promote the efficiency and general well-being of the employees and elected officials
of Augusta-Richmond Comity.
The pro gramming recommendations shall incorporate adequate spatial working environment
requ~ements of current needs and allocate departmental growth accommodations based on
justifiable growth projections. Provisions for growth shall be accomplished in a way that does
not result in excessive unused space standing vacant until needed. The plan of action shall
be staged in a way to allow the expansion of departments to occur when needed.
.
To facilitate the efficiency of communication and interaction between departments.
DefIning primary and critical adjacencies will allow for improved interaction between
departments and to the public served by them. Paper flow and electronic communication are
an integral part of defIning the communication efficiency.
.
. To provide. accessible and convenient governmental services to the public.
This includes the centralization of departments to the majority. of users, reviewing public
transportation and parking available and the accessibility of the Consolidated Government's
buildings for use by individuals with disabilities.
.
To provide the level of safety and sec~rity appropriate for the usage.
Access is reviewed recommending ways to improve and separate non-related users in entry,
corridor and elevator access. Measures to improve security where necessary shall be
recommended. Building constraints which hinder security shall also be addressed.
.
. To establish a Facility Plan that is affordable and achievable.
The Facility Plan shall identify those properties that best accommodate space needs.
Renovation and new construction costs are presented to recommend solutions that provide
the maximum desired result and the least. governmental expense.

AU2Wlta-Richmond Consolidated Government Space Utilization Study
Interim Facility Recommendations
Upon review of several alternatives, the most viable interim solution is to lease the Federal Court
Bank Building on Broad Street. This would actually entail the leasing of two facilities adjacent and
connected to each other.
The two facilities combined have a total of 48 sq.ft, and include two courtroom spaces. The attached
block plans indicate how the facilities could be used as an interim solution. This would provide
accommodations for the Civil Magistrate (freeing a courtroom in the Municipal Building for Superior
Court), Indigent Defense, The District Attorney's Office and Juvenile. The relocation of Juvenile will
provide the required growth space in the Law Enforcement Center for the Solicitor and Victim
Witness Assistance.
The cost to purchase both facilities combined is tinder $2 million. Depending on the duration of the
interim needs, the leasing terms should be reviewed. The option of purchase may also be considered.

AUKusta-Richmond Consolidated Government Space Utilization Study
Introduction
background
On January 1, 1996 the City of Augusta and Richmond County consolidated to form the Augusta-
Richmond County Government. This was done to combine services and government entities for the
efficiency of government. and so as not to provide duplicated resources and ,services. The goal is to
work together as one entity for the'benefit of all residents. .
A Space Allocation Committee was established to take on the task of developing plans to physically
combine departments of the fonner two governments. As the initial moves were completed it became
apparent that more changes were required and long term planning was necessary. Duckett And
Associates, inc. has been commissioned to provide programming services to the Consolidated
Government to develop a plan for implementation that improves the utilization of office space for all
government department and divisions.
purpose
This document defines the space requirements for a majority of the operational departments, divisions
and offices of the Augusta-Richmond County Consolidated Government including the Judiciary. . As
the assessment process evolved, certain functions were deleted because they were in new facilities
(Le. Emergency Management), proposed for. new facilities (ie . Animal Control), or the
administrative function is an integral part of the facility now occupied, (Le. Fire Stations, Wastewater
Management, Daniel Field). The latter classification will have the administrative space analyzed at
such time that these facilities require renovation or expansion.
From this Space Requirements portion of the Needs Assessment, Part IT will define an architectural
Program for this government. Recommended space allocations and building configurations are
. prepared to house administrative functions to 2008. Short-term recommendations are also developed
. to address critical short-tenn space needs for the next two (2) years.
Part I of the Needs Assessment provides qualitative information that includes the County's goals and
objectives, adjacencies,. and operational needs, as well as quantitative information that includes
existing conditions, and space projections.

AU2usta-Richmond Consolidated Government Space Utilization Study
Goal and .Objectives
goal
The goal of the space utilization study"is to maximize the spatial etT~tiveness of the
Consolidated Government's facilities and plan for the future to better serve the taxpayers of
the County.
objectives
eTo establish current usage of space by Government Departments.
This will provide the basis for any changes to be made. The fonnatting of this infonnation .
should allow flexibility for updating as changes are made.
-To detennine the suitability of Augusta-Richmond County owned office facilities to current
space needs.
To efficiently define space allocation, the suitability of existing facilities in accommodating
current needs and" growth must be detennined. Upon assessing the suitability of facilities that
provide administrative space, the construction direction can then be anal~d.
-To promote the efficiency and general well-being of the employees and elected officials of
Augusta-Richmond County.
The programming recommendations shall incorporate adequate spatial working environment
requirements of current needs and allocate departmental growth accommodations based on
justifiable growth projections. Provisions for growth shall be accomplished in a way that does
not result in excessive unused space standing vacant until needed. The plan of action shall be
staged in a way to allow the expansion of dep~ments to occur when needed.
-To facilitate the efficiency of communication and interaction between departments.
Defming primary and critical adjacencies will allow for improved interaction between
departments and to the public served by them. Paper flow and electronic communication are
an integral part of defining the communication efficiency.
-To establish a general pl~ for records retention.
Filing and retention recommendations will provide the current and future storage capacity
outside of valuable office space while maintaining ease of access and retrieval
-To provide accessible and cOnvenient governmental services to the public.
This includes the centralization of departments to the majority of users, reviewing public
transportation and parking available and the accessibility of the Consolidated Government's
buildings for use by individuals with disabilities.
-To provide the level of safety and security appropriate for the usage.

AQ2usta-Rlchmond Consolidated Government Space Utilization Study
Methodology
methodology
The ftrst step in the development of the space utilization study is to accumulate a database of
information that details the existing conditions of each department. This was accomplished, by
u.tilizing the following procedure.
. Refinement of the Goals and Objectives: Duckett and Associates reviewe~ the data from the
Request for Proposal prepared by Augusta- Richmond County as well as meeting minutes from initial
contacts with the client to establish an outline of objectives. These were reviewed with the client for
approval and further developmen~, until the above list was established.
.Space Standards: Working from past experienc~ space standards were developed for inclusion in
the survey document.
. Implementation of the Space Needs Survey: A questionnaire type survey was developed to obtain
the space requirements of the Departments. An Agency workshop with the department heads was
conducted to distribute the survey and explain the intent of the questions.
. Interviews: Upon completion, return and review of the surveys, interviews were held with the key
individuals of each department. Questions with regard to the survey were raised and further
clarification of issues brought about a more thorough understanding of the department, how it
operates and the corresponding space requirements.
. Documentation of Department Requirements and Comparison to Existing Conditions: An
initial report was establishedutilizing-the_ information obtained by the Departments. The space
requirements and future personnel forecasting were Duckett and Associates' interpretation of those
require~ents as established by the departments. The report was then distributed to each department .
for review and corrections. To assist the dep~ent heads with the review of their needs, the report
include a comparison of the space requirements as they requested to the estimated existing space
allocations. As the Department heads were reviewing their information, Duckett and Associates
reviewed relevant historical data and other demographic statistics to develop forecasting formulas.
The results of this task were then compared to the forecasts made by the departments. A list of
disparities between the statistics and the departmental projections was developed and distributed to .
appropriate department heads. The department heads were asked again to review their projections
and to provide justification to support their needs. The final report includes a combination of the
statistical growth projections and departmental need growth projections, including the higher of the
two figures. A copy of the disparity report is included in the appendix. The final projections are
based on the analysis of all information obtained.
-Based on the preliminary report, a critical short-tenn space needs report was established.
This report indicateS the departments that have current needs which are not being adequately met for
day-to-dayoperations. That report is included in the Executive Summary.

. Methodology
The circulation factors varied per department. Duckett and Associates applied circulation factors
based on knowledge of past experience needs relating to size and fun.ction of the department. A list
of the circulation factors used for each department is included m die appendix.
"Refinement of Space Standards: To effectively complete this study, space standards originally
developed by personnel classification is necessary. Based on the response of the Departments, the
space standards were revised to more accurately reflect the needs of Augusta-Richmond County.
These have been maintained in this needs assessment, even when different requests were made. When
an explanation was provided by the department fora space in excess of the standard, additional
support space was included to acpommodate the. n~d. A listing of the space standards is included
in the appendix. The representative drawing configurations were also revised to more accurately
reflect. the standards established.
eGroupUser Meetings were conducted to review the information in the initial document to ensure
that the projections established for one department did not adversely affect the projections of another
department. This was specifically necessary in the Judicial Section due to the impact of growth in
the Courts which greatly affects the personnel needs in various .other departments.
: space requirements report
This Needs Assessment has been corrected and reformatted to be more consistent with the building
needs of the County.
The final step in this space utilization study is the detailed review of alternative solutions to determine
the best solution to meet the current and long-term needs of the Consolidated Government. This is
addressed in Part IT of the Needs Assessment report.

- - ..' .- Area Definitions
area definitions.
This document classifies space requirements using three definitions that are accepted. by the
'Architectural industry. These terms, Net Square Feet(NSF) , Usable Square Feet (USF), and Gross
Square .Feet (GSF) are important to understand so that the relationship of these different types of
space can be accurately conveyed to the design team.
NET SQUARE FEET (NSF)
The sum of assignable areas that accommodate a specific function, for example, offices, conference
areas, files, c.opier, and reception space. NSF doe&-not include circulation areas outside the specified
area. NSF is measured:
. From inside fInish of permanent outer walls.
. To the office side of corridors with permanent partitions.
. From the center line of adjacent assigned spaces.
. Without .deductions for columns or partitions subdividing spaces.
USABLE SQUARE FEET (USF)
. .
The sum of area assigned to a specific department including a portion of the buildings circulation
space required specifically for mat department. These areas specifically include. the net area plus
departmental circulation areas, interior walls and partitions. USF is measured:
. From the finished surface of the office side of corridors or other permanent walls.
. To the center of partitions separating adjoining areas.
. To the inside surface of outer building walls
GROSS SQUARE FEET (GSF)
The sum of all enclosed areas measured to the exterior surface of the building's shell. GSF includes
Usable area plus building circulation, mechaIiical rooms, public toilets, janitor closets, unassigned
storage, and exterior walls and structure.GSF is measured: -
. From exterior faces of exterior walls
. Includes basements, mezzanines, and penthouses.
. To include covered walkways and roofed-over areas at 50% of their area.

Executive Summary
overview
The executive summary presents a review of the overall findings of need for Augusta-Richmond
County. It contains:
1. . A summary of the square footage reqUirements. This summary (as well as the fonnatting of
this document) is such that it groups all departments by their adjacency requirements and
potential building occupant breakdown. The last section, Building Support Services defines
common spaces for inclusion as required in each of the buildings to be occupied. This
common usage may increase if Augusta-Richmond County Consolidated Government pursues
a facility approach of usmg multiple facilities. to accommodate their needs rather than a
consolidation of operations into one faci.!!ty. Behind the overall summary is a listing of the
departmental conferencingltraining and storage requirements. '
2. An adjacency matrix and diagram indicating the departments requiring proximity to each
other. The matrix can be used as a quick reference for the adjacency requirements of a
particular dep3ft!'I1ent, whereas the bubble diagram provides an overall view of the adjacency
. needs. ,..'
. 3. A list of the most critical short-tenn space requirements that need to be addressed and
resolved.
4. A synopsis offactors that have contributed to Augusta Richmond County's space problems.
5. A review of the parking requirements. for the various departmental groupings as well as traffic
considerations.
6. A review of the existing Municipal Building for compliance to the Americans with Disabilities
Act building provision guidelines.
7. A summary report of the pop~tion and growth trends of this county as well as neighboring
counties that have an effect on the growth of departments located in this county. Charts and
other infonnation substantiating the summary is included after the report.

A~usta-Richmond Consolidated Government Space Utilization Study
Executive Summary
critical short term space requirements
\
,Upon review of the current and future needs of the Augusta-Richmond County government
'departments, the following are deficiencies requiring attention in the immediate future.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY
The antiquated house that the District Attorney resides in is totally inadequate for their needs. The
house is much to small for this d~partment( the house has less that 8,000 square feet now and the
current department needs exceed 12,000 square'feet). In addition, the house with its small rooms and
multiple floors does not allow effective use of space. It should be noted that the D.A has done a
remarkable job at utilizing every inch of space.
The house does not meet life safety code or Americans with Disabilities Act requirements. It is not
suitable for any government agency and consid~ration should be given to sell the property.
INDIGENT DEFENSE and VICTIM WITNESS ASSIST ANtE
. Both of these departments are located in rental property not suitable f~r the office environment
intended. In addition, since Indigent Defense works in conjunction to the Superior Court, it should
be located closer to the Court. The house has numerous deficiencies including electrical wiring
capacity and the floors cannot handle' the. weight of their high density filing system.
The Victim Assistance program is a function of the Solicitor's office. The current location of the
department is relatively close to the main Solicitor's office at the Law Enforcement Center (LEC).
Locating the department further away would be an unacceptable alternative. There is currently no
available space in the LEC. Since there is also a strong need to provide additional space for the
Solicitor's current needs, it would be beneficial to find a solution to group these two departments
together as well. . .
SUPERIOR COURTROOM
To accommodate their current court caseload, the Superior Court must hold courtroom activities at
a courtroom in the LEC. The entrance to the courtroom is a small door at the side of. the building.
This courtroom is also being shared with the State-Court. Both courts need the courtroom on a full
time basis. The LEC courtroom does not service the Superior Court as it should, and other
accommodations should be made to suit their needs. Any short- term solution will need to consider
the length of time for which the accommodations are being considered for.

: : UTILITIES- CUSTOMER SERVICE
The' customer service department of waterworks is currently divided in two locations with
convenience payment sub-stations located throughout the COUI)ty. The main department would like
. ~o be consolidated. However, the critical short-term issue to be addressed is the drive-thru window
at the Peach-Orchard Road. The drive-thru window is a service that is highly utilized by the public.
So much so, that it is causing traffic pr~blems in front of the building. A solution is needed to avoid
the traffic hazard without eliminating the service convenience to the public.
SOUCITOR
As mentioned earlier, the Solicitor does not hav~ adequate accommodations to function properly.
The critical space need for this department is the reception! customer service area. It is literally a
short, narrow corridor with a counter separating the office from the public. There is not adequate
room for anyone to pass easily to the office area if someone is being serviced at the counter. It is
especially difficult for a wheelchair to pass ( and probably impossible for a large wheelchair).
UCENSE AND INSPECTION
License and Inspection is currently housing staff in an upper office area not meant to
accommodate people. Also, there is no air conditioning in the space creating an impossible work
environment during the summer. The staff housed here has field duties, yet the current
accommodations are still not acceptable for this section of the department.
OTHER SHORT-TERM NEEDS TO CONSIDER
1) Information Technology should.be a priority for final location accommodation to reduce
the need for and cost of re-routing cabling.
2) The Commission chambers does not have sufficient public seating.
3) The Marshal's substation is grosslymadequate for their needs.
4) The Assistant Coroner is currently storing supplies at home.
5) The Juvenile and Augusta Probation Offices are both in need of consolidating their
departments.
6) Extension Services needs a community kitchen.

Executive Summary - short term requirements Con't.
In addition to the needs indicated above, major concerns raised were records retention and
parking at the Municipal Building and the Law Enforcement Center. Since our reviews, records
retention has relocated to a larger facility addressing the critical needs addressed for storage of
. ~ead files. This should have resolved space needs for numerous departments.
In regards to the parking concerns, it must be noted that throughout the time of the interviewing
process, parking was obtainable at both locations.. There were times that required parking on the
street verses in the lot, yet parking was obtainable at both locations within the radius of a large
block. This reduction of parking need occurred with the moving of state courts to the LEC.
Consolidation of the courts will mcrease parking needs.

Executive Summary-parking requirements con't.
PUBUC WORKS, UTILmES AND RECREATION
The departments in this section have a great need for parking of g<;>vernment owned vehicles ranging
,from cars to small trucks to large bucket trucks. These vehicles require secured overnight provisions
to deter vandalism and theft. Due to the nature'ofthe vehicle, some will also require protection from
the weather. Minimal accommodations are required for visitors as compared to the employee and
. maintenance vehicle provisions. Depending on the parking lay-out, the overnight vehicle parking
could double as visitor parking during the day, providing some but not all of the visitor parking
accommodations.
STATE FUNDED DEPARTMENTS
The Probation and County Extension Departments both have a high need for visitor parking including
ADA requirements, in addition to the employee and government owned vehicle parking
ac~ommodations. The County Extensions' visitor parking needs are greatest at off peak office hours.
This is because the kitchen demonstrations, which would bring in the most visitors at any given time,
are conducted in the early evenings.
COMMON BUILDING SUPPORT
For each building that is occupied, some parking will be needed to support the building. The amount
and type of which is determined by the building size and departments which will occupy the building. ' '
Typically, parking is required for delivery and/or service vehicles at a delivery entrance of some sort.
In additign, an area for emergency vehicles may be necessary.

ADA ELEMENTS
The following is a listing of the non-complying ADA elements existittg at the Augusta-Richmond
Municipal Building.
· There should be at least one urn-sex accessible restroom on each floor. The only
accessible restroom is on ,the first level In addition, all non-accessible restrooms should
have a sign with directions to the nearest available accessible restroom.
· The .door hardware throughout the facilitf includes knob handles rather than the lever type
required.
· The drinking fountains throughout the facility are of a non-accessible design, mounted to
high and protrude out into the main traffic path more than the allowable four inches.
· The signage throughout the facility is non-complying with the lack of braille, lack of raised
letters, sizes, symbols color contrast, etc.
· No fire system strobe lights are present. It could not be determined if the audible system
proVided meets the requirements of ADA.
· The stair nosings at the fire stairs are too deep. The handrails at the outside walls do not
have the required 1 '-0" extension.
· The public telephones are mounted top.high, with the coin slot higher than the maximum
allowable for a side approach of-54'! high.
· The front entrance is not accessible. Since there is an accessible entrance, the front
entrance is not required to be accessible. It should however have a sign that directs the
person to the accessible entrance.
· There is a public announcement bulletin board mounted above the marble wainscotting in
the hallway. This is to high to meet the requirements of ADA.
· . ,The thresholds into the offices is quite high, yet falls within the allowable range for an
existing facility. This is however a public facility and all efforts should be made to bring
elements like this into compliance with any Qlajor building renovation.
· The expansion joints in- the corridors is a similar condition to the thresholds. It appears
that they were posing a substantial tripping hazard as a mat has been put over the area to
ease the transition.
· All of the public counters throughou~ the facility are too high for compliance.

Executive Summary
growth projections
Of paramount importance to any planning project is the factor of determining future needs.
.Population demographics are an important indicator 'in this planning effort. There is a direct
correlation between population growth of a'county and the county staffmg requirements. The
county's financial strength and government spending policies also factor in as to how the county is
staffed.
The demographics for Augusta-Richmond County indicate some irregular fluctuations in growth
within the last ten (10) years. The most current trend of four years is a downsizing of the city/county
population. Based on the historical data we obtained from the departments, there has also been a
downsizing of staff. However the four years prior to that showed a strong population growth. It is
therefore wise for any planning effort to consider a long term growth rate average. The overall
average for the last ten years has been a .4% yearly growth rate.
The State of Georgia ~ of Planning and Budget projects a comparatively aggressive population
growth rate of over 1 % a year. These projections are based on the growth average of the county
. over athirty year period. The county growth rate averaged 2% between 1960 and 1970 and 1.2%
between 1970 and 1980. The State's projections indicate the total population for Augusta-Richmond
County to be 234,582 by the year 2010. The State Data and Research Center recommended the use
of the projections from ''Georgia Trend" magazine, which assume an annual growth rate for
Richmond County at .9%.
The Augusta- Richmond County Planning Commission projections are more conservative. There is
still an assumption for a stronger growth rate than was seen in the past ten years. The Augusta-
Richmond County projectionsj>rovide a growth factor of .6% per year until the year 2005 and .8%
growth from 2005 to 201 O.
Without an influx of new business or industry, the conservative growth rate is to be more expected.
In addition, based on the development of outlying counties and the movement of local households
to these areas, the conservative approach again appears more accurate. In planning major
departmental relocation efforts some growth must be assumed. For the purpose of this report, a
growth projection factor of between .6 to 1 % per year was considered based on the functions and
, trends of each department. These projections were then balanced with the needs projected by the
staff,. accommodating staff provisions for new services or functions.
Of further consideration is the three county circuit of the Superior Court. The home base for this
circuit is in Augusta-Richmond County since it is the largest county. The District Attorney and the
Probation Office also accommodate the circuit. ,Both of the outlying counties are growing at a much
faster rate than Augusta- Richmond County~ Therefore the staff growth. projections for these
departments must correlate to the combined population growth projections. It is foreseeable in the

next few years to have a Judge reside full time at a courthouse in Columbia County. This being the
case, the staff projections for Superior Court can assume one ress Judge, Secretary, Law Clerk and
Court Reporter. Even with one judge residing full time in Columbia, the caseload there is growing
and may require an additional Judge. Burke County is also growing. Trials and. all court proceedings
,are held at the courthouse in their county. :As the three-county circuit caseload grows, more Judges
and their staff will require accommodations. However, the courtroom requirements do not need to
. grow proportionately, since provisions for courtrooms are provided for by each county. The District
Attorney would require growth in proportion to the projections for the three county area as they find
that it is more efficient to have all of their employees under one 'roof. The growth projections of the
combined circuit is based on a 2.2 % yearly growth rate. This factor is based on the ''Georgia Trend"
population growth projections for each county weighted by the current population of the counties.

State Court Solicitor Comparison of Needs
" -
The following infonnation is a comparison of the Augusta-Richmond CountY State Court
Solicitor's requirements to that of other counties. "
This county is most comparative to that of Augusta-Richmond County in size and office
requirements (this County also has Solicitor's that handle tr.affic court duties).
Augusta~Richmond County
· Current population of 197,619 with projection of 216,145
· Current staff 0(25, with projections of 40
Currently there "are six (6) attorneys including the Solicitor General with projections for
nine (9).
· Four (4) Judges, with no additional Judges projected
· 22,000, files created, 27,519 citations, 6,227 Warrants and 5,019 CB's in 1997 as reported
by Augusta-Richmond County office staff
35,641 total State Court filings in 1996 as reported to the Administra~veOffice of the
Courts (which is considerably higher than the 27,256 reported in 1995).
Dekalb County
· Current population of approximately 600,000
· Current staff of 50, with 17 attorneys including the Solicitor General
They have two attorneys per Judge, plus additional attorneys as department heads and for
special programs. ' -
· Six (6) Judges
· " 10,400 files created, 15,000 warrants as'reported by the Dekalb County office staff
· Also noted in conversation is that their cases have not increased since the recent Solicitor
took office, even with a substantial increase in police officers. The only explanation that
was provided was that with the attorneys and staff that Dekalb curr~ntly has, they have
the "luxury to prosecute, not process" which they attribute to the deterrence of filings.
Information on Fulton County also indicates a provision of /wo(2) attorneys per Judge in the
Trial Section with additional attorneys for the Accusation and Appellate Sections.

Public Works and Engineering encompasses the management and operation of all of the County-
owned facilities, County-run operations, and County-required engineering services. Due to the size
'(}fthis organization, it is broken down into three divisions: Facilities, Operations, and Engineering.
Each of these divisions is sub-divided as per the organizational chart attached. . Each of the Public
Works Sub-divisions are included as a separate entity for this report. The Facilities Maintenance
Section is further divided into the following:
. Buildings & Grounds,
. Print & Mail
. Public Buildings - Construction Shop-
. Public Buildings - Electrical
Some of the sub-divisions are not a part of this report since these will not change. Not included are
the following:

.INFRASTRUCTURE MAINTENANCE
(STREETS & DRAINS, ROADS & BRIDGES)
function
Infrastructure Maintenance has 120 people in the division. A vast majority of these employees work
out in the field on a daily basis as maintenance workers,' equipment operators, mechanics, truck
dr;ivers, laborers, etc. The Division is broken down into Roads & Bridges; Streets & Drains; and
Street Light Maintenance. The major duties of the combined effort include m~tenance of all Right-
of-Ways, Streets, Street Lights, and Drainage concerns in Richmond County. In addition to
maintenance, this division is also responsible for construction projects (ie. paving dirt roads,
resurfacing streets and. parking lots, and small drainage projects that are funded from the special
purpose local option sales tax. '
adjacencies
The Division of Streets & Drains and that of Roads & Bridges support each other by basically
performing the same functions - Streets & Drains for Urban areas and Roads & Bridges for Suburban
areas. Separated, each needs to be centrally located within their area to support all of the
Departments of that area as well as to maintain the roads and right-of-ways of that area. If grouped
together, the Section would need to be centrally located to all Departments. Street Light
Maintenance is best located in the Urban end as there are more street lights there.
special requirements and considerations
. Inspectors Vehicles stored overnight.
. There would be advantages to grouping Roads & Bridges and Streets & Drains at one
location; however, there are also advantages to leaving them separate. The greatest concern
is that there is coverage of the City/County. Currently, Street & Drains is near the City and
The Municipal Building. Roads & Bridges is out in the developing, outlying County area.
If these were grouped, the location would have to be central to the County.
. Streets & Drains as well as Roads & Bridges each have approximately 200 pieces of
equipment ranging from lawn mowers to large trucks.

Augusta-Richmond Consolidat~(j Government Space Utilization Study
Records Retention
. ,
Recently Records Retention relocated to a larger facility which was the old carpenter's shop, This
relocation more than doubled storage .capacity. The additional space was desperately needed to
accommodate the current filing needs of Augusta-Richmond County Government operations, Their
old facility had the capability to store 7,200 boxes: This facility will now store 14,400 boxes in the
main storage area,
Prior to relocating, the Augusta-Richmond County departments had submitted requests for
additional storage totaling over 1,200 boxes. At the time of the move to their new facility, Records
Retention has been able to purge ,60-70 boxes and anticipates the ability to purge an additional 200
boxes before they are completely moved in. The goal is to continue to purge regularly to keep the
yearly increase in storage to around 350 boxes, In addition, the state regulations are allowing local
governments to destroy files earlier when they are copied onto microfilm. This should also help to
keep growth down, With a growth rate of350 boxes per year, the new record's retention facility is
adequate for the box storage requirements of August- Richmond County for more than the next ten
years,
An added accommodation at the new facility is a room that is air conditioned which is being utilized
to house old minute and docket books" Shelving in this room has come from the departments
wishing to have these books stored, Currently there are between 50-60 shelves in the room, Not all
of the shelves are full. There is also room for additional shelving. A majority of the shelves are 5'-
0" to 6'-0", however some are at 10'-0" high, When expansion is required, the lower shelving units
could be replaced with taller units, The number of minute and docket books will not grow much on
a year to year basis. The current space allocation should accommodate the book storage needs of
the county for the next ten years.
The current building serves the administration and delivery needs of records retention well. The
only potential need not accounted for in this facility is the ability to store microfilm, As more and
more state retention r~gulations allow old files to be destroyed when the files are copie,d to
microfilm, the need for microfilm storage will increase, These old files, stored on microfilm, do not
need to take up storage space at the dep~ents. Currently the space need is not great and will not
grow at a substantial rate since so much inforn1ation can be stored in a very small amount of space,
There may; however, be a future need to coriditionmore space for microfilm storage at this Records
Retention facility, This~till should not be necessary within the next ten years,
, ,
The current site of the records'retention facility is owned by the County and can accommodate
expansion when the need does eventually arise. The facility works well for this department and
therefore stabilizes the County's Record Retention function for more than ten years.

with a satellite office in Columbia County, i,e. Davies Road,
· Roof leaks in current building.

PROJECTION DISPARITIES
. ,
The following indicate the disparities between the staff estimated future personnel needs and those
based on population growth projections for the county. It should be noted that the staff responsible
for providing growth projections were asked to do so based on the trends of their department as well
, as anticipating new programs, services etc, that would impact their growth. The staff were' not made
aware of the population growth trends of the county, however the staffing of county support growth
typically correlates to the county's growth. The exceptions being made are for differing services and
programs, tax base differences and the degree of privatization.
Superior Court*
· Court projections indicate a growth of3 Judge's and 1 Senior Judge
· Statistically the current number of Judges should be sufficient uiltil 2007
Clerk of Superior Court*
· The growth rate should correspond to the growth of the Courts. '
· Staff projections far exceed statistical growth. The comparison to follow.
. Section Staff Projection Statistics
Administration' fro 22 to 35 fro 22 to 27
State & Juvenile: fro 10 to 23 fro 10 to 13
Superior Court fro 4 to 12 fro 4 to 5
State Court Solicitor
· The staff projections indicate a growth of 15, up from 25
· Based on population statistics the projection would be 28 maximum.
· With every new judge, there would be a minimum of 3 additional staff.
· State court recently obtained a new judge and no more have been projected for the next
te~. years
Sheriff Department
· . The growth rate projected 'for the three major sections of the Sheriff's Department exceed
that of the statistical population growth of the county. The comparison to _follow.
Section StaffPrQjection StatistiCs
Administration fr.57 to 66 fro 57 to 63
Criminal Invest. fr.73 to 83 fro 73 to 80
Civil fr.28 to 37 fro 28 to 31
· The number of civil dockets filed has been going down, which does not appear to
correlate with the substantially larger growth rate of the staff projections (25% growth as
opposed to 10%).
· The staff projections were indicated for the year 1999. There has been no other statistical
information or additional projections submitted to support the increase. No additional
personnel were added beyond 1999.
