The law requires the adoption of a Service Delivery Strategy in each county in the state. Development of a Service Delivery Strategy allows local governments within a county to identify overlap or gaps in the delivery of public services and craft a more rational method for financing and delivering the services. According to the law each strategy must: >- Identify all services presently provided in the county by the county government, municipalities and authorities; >- Identify which local governments will be responsible for providing the listed services; >- Describe how the services will be funded; and >- Include intergovernmental agreements, contracts, ordinances and resolutions used to implement the strategy. Representatives of the three local governments in Richmond County - Augusta- Richmond County, Hephzibah and Blythe - met for the first time on this issue on December 13, 1997. The initial meeting provided an opportunity to list all of the services provided by the local governments and authorities, to review the boundaries of service delivery areas, and to discuss existing and proposed service delivery agreements. Also discussed was the requirement of House Bill 489 to develop an Agreement to Resolve Land Use Classification Disputes. Subsequently, the local governments adopted an Agreement to Resolve Land Use Classification Disputes in June 1998. Following municipal elections in Augusta and Blythe, additional meetings were held in the spring of 1999 to finalize Richmond County's Service Delivery Strategy. Staff of the Augusta-Richmond County Planning Commission prepared an initial draft of the strategy for discussion at a meeting on March 30, 1999. At that meeting, local government representatives agreed on the funding sources and responsible entities for many of the identified services. Most of the discussion focused on the following services: water, sewer, fire protection, road and bridge maintenance, and law enforcement. The strategy went through a second draft, which was reviewed at a meeting on May 3, 1999. During the second meeting, representatives agreed on the funding sources, responsible entities, and service areas for the remaining services. They also recognized the need for an agreement to establish a process for the provision of extraterritorial water and service. 1 I ~ I I I I I I II I I I I I I.

Harrell Richmond County Fire Department In order to clarify and extend the mutual aid aggre- ment with Richmond County Fire Department, Hephzibah Fire Department would like to suggest the following changes to better serve the interest of both departments and the people we protect. The u9ll" dispatch system would use it's tone system to notify Hephzibah Fire Department of all emergency calls. An expanded response area would be determi.nded' by Richmond County Fire Department in the best interest of the protec~ tion of the expanded area. Hephzibah Fire Deparuaent would make an immediate response' into that area with it's first line machine. Hephzibah Fire Department would have the responsibility'for mai.ntenance of personnel and equipment used to responses to areas outside of the city. Hephzibah Fire Department would like Richmond County Fire Department to respond to 'structural fires within the Hephzibah Fire Department's city area. Richmond County Fire Department would be responsible for maintenance of personnel and equipment used to respond in~o the city of Hephzibah. Should all units of Hephzibah Fire Department become involved in-emergency repsonses, Richmond County Fir: Department will assist in coverage of Hephzibah Fi~e Department's unprotected area. :It is my hope that these changes in both f.ire depart- ment's responses and dispatching will be of mutual benefits to 'all concerned, and possibly help both departments with insurance ratings.
