(Bid Item 17-188) Background: The Recreation Department currently has 2 dump trucks that require drivers with Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). The Department has only one driver with a CDL and has been unsuccessful in hiring a second qualified driver. The purchase of a truck not requiring a CDL qualified driver will enhance the Department’s capability for parks and facilities maintenance. The Department will turn in 994217, a 2000 International 2000, 4700 dump truck as excess. This truck has an excessive maintenance history. The vehicle evaluation is attached for review. The department has a need to haul sand, soil, mulch and landscape/wood waste for projects and park maintenance. The smaller dump truck, not requiring a CDL qualified driver will allow a variety of staff to operate the truck. Analysis: The Procurement Department published a competitive bid using the Demand Star electronic bid application. The results of Bid 17- 188 - Dump Truck, which closed June 2, 2017, are: Fleetcare Commercial at $71,900.00; Freightliner of Augusta at $77,383.00 and Rush Truck Center at $81,848.00. The tabulation sheet is attached for review Financial Impact: The purchase of this truck is from 2017 Capital Outlay – Fleet, for $71,900.00 from the following account: 272-01-6440/54.22210. Alternatives: (1) Approve the request; (2) Do not approve the request Recommendation: Approve the purchase of the truck and designate excess truck as surplus and available for auction. Funds are Available in the Following Capital Outlay: 272-01-6440/54.22210 Accounts: REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY: Finance.

Welcher, Jr. Caption: Motion to accept as information the Housing and Community Development Department’s application for the National Endowment of the Arts “Our Town FY18” Grant cycle to increase citizen and visitor awareness and knowledge of Mr. James Brown, a local historic musician, through the use of various artworks. Background: Beginning in 2009, the Housing and Community Development Department was tasked with redeveloping two local National Historic Districts that have seen years of disinvestment and degradation. Since the beginning of redevelopment, there has been steady redevelopment/restoration progress (acquisition, demolition, rehabilitation, new construction, pocket parks, green space, etc.), most notably on Pine Street, 11th Street, Holley Street, Wrightsboro Road, and Twiggs Street respectfully. Based on the continued success of these growing developmental nodes, new homeowners/tenants continue to invest and developers/contractors/others continue to seek partnerships and investment opportunities alike. At this time, we feel that the community would benefit from an infusion of artistic works to increase the awareness of various musicians of notoriety. The first musician of note will be Mr. James Brown. James Brown Blvd. is one of the main thoroughfares that leads from the Historic Districts to the downtown/Savannah River area. As such, the James Brown Journey will be anchored on James Brown Blvd, between Walton Way and Twiggs Street. Artistic works will signify the entrance to the James Brown Journey at Walton Way. There will be five (5) stops along the Journey culminating with a statue of James Brown in the middle of the roundabout that is being installed at James Brown Blvd and Twiggs Street. In addition, a park will be created that will promote healthy movement as a tribute to Mr. Brown’s legacy and performance style. The James Brown Journey can either be walked (1.5 miles from beginning to end) or experienced as a park and see, allowing those that are unable to walk the entire stretch to drive and park at the stops. While this is a great start to increasing awareness by  adding artwork and interactive points of interest for the residents of the Laney Walker and Bethlehem neighborhoods, this is only the beginning. The James Brown Journey is one portion of “The Traces” initiative that is currently being studied and compiled for the Housing and Community Development Department. Though the neighborhoods have seen disinvestment in the past, we want to help preserve and share the great historic facts of the area while promoting healthy movement and community involvement. Analysis: Through the collaborative efforts of the Housing and Community Development Department, Recreation Department, The Arts Council, and the Downtown Development Authority, we believe that we have a very solid opportunity for this grant (due: September 11th). If awarded, this grant would allow us to bring in an additional $200,000 to add artistic works to an area that has seen so much disinvestment over the years and is now seeing revitalization. Financial Impact: The grant requires a dollar for dollar match. With the investment of Bond Financing/Tourism Fees, SPLOST 7 funds designated for Dyess Park Improvements through the Recreation Department, and Federal funds used in the area, we can meet and exceed the dollar for dollar match requirement without adding any additional strain on the current Housing and Community Development Department's budget. Alternatives: N/A Recommendation: Accept as Information Only Funds are Available Community Development Block Grant funds that are already in the Following received from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Accounts: Development. Bond Financing/Tourism Fees that have already been approved by the Augusta Commission. SPLOST 7 funds (Dyess Park Improvements- Rec Department) REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY: Finance. Law. Administrator.

Background: We have entered into a contract with Combined Insurance Company of America on January 1st 2010 with automatic renewals each January. Analysis: Eye Med (Combined Insurance) has been our vision carrier since 2010. There has not been any issues with them and they have not increased premiums during that time. Utilization is up this year 7.5 percent from 2016, to 4,078 members. Estimated 2017 member savings based on 1st quarter results is $506, 404. Helps Augusta’s local economy; an average of 39.9 percent of services utilized independent retail outlets while 61 percent utilized nationwide outlet’s local retail. Financial Impact: Our employees through payroll deductions pay premiums. Premiums have not increased since the original contract January 1, 2010. Alternatives: 1. Consider other Vision Insurance Service Providers 2. Do not provide Vision Insurance. Recommendation: Approve Eye Med (Combined Insurance) to continue as our vision benefits provider for 2017.

Clerk of Commission  Administrative Services Committee Meeting 8/29/2017 1:10 PM CDBG Funding Re-Program Department: Housing and Community Development Presenter: Hawthorne Welcher, Jr. Caption: Discuss (and receive as information) amending the 2011, 2013, 2014 and 2015 Action Plans to Re-program $152,095.00, and Revise the Scope of Work in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. Background: Because certain funds were being forfeited and certain projects have unused funds, it has become necessary to reprogram these funds to facilitate their expenditure. We are proposing that funds be reprogrammed FROM the following projects: 1. 2011 Appraisals – 14,377.78 2. 2013 Small Business Assistance – 4,326.00 3. 2013 Project Delivery-Legal Costs/Surveys – 1,702.50 4. 2013 Homeless Transportation Program – 60,000.00 5. 2013 Coordinated Health Services – 14,037.01 6. 2014 CSRA Business League – YEL Program 200.00 7. 2014 Senior Citizens Council – 6,661.90 8. 2014 Coordinated Health Services – Clinic 5,000.50 9. 2014 HCD Relocation 28,985.34 10. 2015 Paint Program 1,765.11 11. 2015 CSRA Business League – YEL Program 3,002.71 12. 2015 Good Hope Social Services 36.15 13. 2015 Hope House, Inc. 2,000.00 14. 2015 Senior Citizens Council 10,000.00 Total amount being reprogrammed $152,095.00 Justification: In order for the department to meet its annual HUD Regulatory Spend Down Requirement we find it necessary to reprogram funding to viable projects that will expend funding timelier. Staff is proposing the funds be reprogrammed To the following projects: For CDBG: 1. Housing and Community Development Department – $152,095.00 Funds are being transferred to support additional Housing Rehabilitation and Permanent Supportive Housing (SHP) Projects, such as: expanding Home Owner rehab projects, Reconstruction, New Construction. No final costs are currently being projected which  gives us the flexibility needed to complete these projects. According to the City’s Citizen Participation Policy, this increase in allocation constitutes a substantial change to the Action Plans. Therefore, the revisions must be presented to the public for a 30- day comment period. If comments are received, they will be presented to the Commission for consideration. We are requesting authorization to proceed with the publication of a public notice in the newspapers to solicit comments on the changes. The Public Notice will be published in the Augusta Chronicle August 30, 2017 and the Metro Courier August 31, 2017. The deadline for comments will be September 29, 2017 by 5:00pm. Any comments received will be presented to Commission on Tuesday, October 3, 2017. Analysis: The additional funds will allow the department to fund additional homeowner rehabilitations/reconstructions/new constructions/other as annually the demand for this program far exceeds the budgeted funds to assist. Also, not apart of this agenda item, but to note, HCD has also set aside $63,656.46 to be reprogrammed (when ready), through Administrator), for future Augusta, GA projects/priorities yet to be named. Financial Impact: Funding immediately available for Augusta, GA homeowners for the following: $152,095.00 -- Homeowner Rehab/ Reconstruction/ New Construction/ Other Alternatives: N/A Recommendation: Accept the Housing and Community Department's (HCD) recommendations for use of the additional funds and grant HCD authorization to proceed with the publication of a Public Notice soliciting citizen comments on the proposed changes to the 2011, 2013, 2014 and 2015 Action Plan.
