SUBJECT:
RICHARDSON, 115 BROKEN BIT CIRCLE WATER USAGE
DATE:
10/14/14
9/23/14 - Mrs. Richardson’s original email made it to Toss Allen with a question about
water rates. Adam Kobek responded to the water rate question
9/23/14 – Mrs. Richardson emails that there must be a leak
9/24/14 – Mrs. Richardson states that leak was fixed on 7/28
10/2/14 – Adam Kobek and Julie Hebert met with Mrs. Richardson to discuss her concerns
of the leak, location and timeframe of fix. Mrs. Richardson stated again that she called her
contractor on 7/26, Plumber responded 7/27 and said leak was on the County side, 7/28
County came out repaired the leak.
10/6/14 – Adam Kobek and Joanna met and discussed, recommended meeting with Julie
Hebert
10/8/14 – Meeting with Julie, Joanna and Adam
10/8/14 – Response provided to Mrs. Richardson
To date Staff has determined:
 Mrs. Richardson’s account was set up on 8/1/14 by the Effingham County Finance
Department, not on the 25th, due to rate changes and rebilling that was occurring at
the time.
 Mrs. Richardson’s first bill from 8/1 to 9/2 used the lower approved rates
 The leak was fixed on 7/28 by County Water/Sewer Staff and meter was read
 Meter was read again on 7/31 brought to finance 8/1 to start the new service
account per Finance Office
 Water usage table below shows water history dating back to July 2014

The County contacted Sean with Faircloth Homes about watering schedule. Sean indicated
that for newly laid sod, they set the irrigation timer for 25 minutes per zone for 6 days a
week. Just prior to closing they either turn the irrigation timer off or dial it down. Sean
went on to say that he has no way of knowing if this irrigation timer was turned off or dialed
down. Sean confirmed that on 7/26 Mrs. Richardson called about a leak, the plumber

responded on 7/27 reported that it was a County leak, 7/28 the leak was repaired by the
County.
It does appear that Mrs. Richardson experienced a leak on 7/26-7/28 and that the County
repaired the leak. However, service was started in the Richardson’s name on 8/1/14 days
after the leak was repaired on 7/28; therefore no charges for leaked water would have been
included on Mrs. Richardson’s first bill. Since that time there has been no evidence of
another leak and the meter appears to be working correctly. If a leak occurred on the
County side of the meter it would not have been counted by the residential meter. There is
simply no indication that there is a problem with the County’s billing, meter reading or that a
leak occurred after 8/1/14.

115 Broken Bit Circle--Angie Richardson
Mrs. Johnson, My name is Angie Richardson and as you seen on the recently copied emails, my husband and I want to petition our August water bill. Please let me know what all you need from me to petition and I will do what I need to. Long story short, we lived in Pooler for 3 years using the supply of Chatham County for water supply. We moved to Effingham County and closed on a new construction home in Belmont Glen on July 25th. After closing, we went straight to the county office to request our water be turned on. The day we moved in, we turned off the irrigation system because our yard looked saturated and the sidewalk was completely soaked. On Saturday, July 26 we noticed the sidewalk was still soaked and had not dried so we contacted the real estate agent over Faircloth homes. In turn, Sean (contractor) called a plumber and they came out Sunday, July 27. They confirmed there was a leak and the responsibility of the county. He advised if he fixed it, they wouldn't credit me for the excess water and showed us the meter. On Monday, July 28 I was advised the leak had been fixed. We received our bill which you can see from the copied emails that was for period 8/1 ‐ 8/31 stating we used 24,000+ gallons of water. I instantly thought it was from the leak and was charged for that usage. I have been told the leak usage was not added to my bill and that we in fact, used this much water. During this research process, we received our bill for September usage which was not even 3,000 gallons and for $35. This is exactly what it should be. I can provide all of my bills for the 3 years we resided in Pooler to show what our usage is month by month. We have the same size lot as we did in Pooler as well along with irrigation system. We have not turned our irrigation system on once since moving to this house. If there was a way I could prove it, I would. I am filing for petition because if it wasn't due to the leak, it was due to something. I can take a lie detector if I needed to prove we were charged for water we did not use. Who can really use 24k in one month then decrease to <3k gallons? I would like to see my daily usage as well because we were out of town for 2 weekends in a row in August. I have spent the last month trying to contact Vera Jones, the county, the finance director, etc trying to seek resolution. This is not fair to us and it is my word against Effingham. Please help.

COMMISSIONER’S MEETING DATE: 10/24/2014
DATE: 11/04/2014
TO:
County Commissioners
THRU: Toss Allen, County Administrator
FROM: Joanna Wright, Finance Director
ISSUE: Request approval of an MOU regarding the processing and funding of the Hospital
Expansion contract with the County
BACKGROUND:
Effingham County’s received a letter dated August 11, 2014 which
proposed a potential underfunding of the Hospital Authority regarding the County’s
obligation under the HUD Hospital expansion agreement. Requests were made for
payment information for all disbursement’s made from the Tax Commissioner to the
Hospital Authority. In addition to that information, copies of the hospitals general ledger
account detail regarding the collection of tax dollars were requested to expedite review
of payments made to the Hospital Authority by the Tax Commissioner to determine any
shortfalls that may exist. A MOU has been prepared which seeks to clarify this issue and a
process for disbursement and review moving forward.
FACTS AND FINDINGS:
1. The Board and Hospital entered into an agreement which provided for a specified
funding of $3,600.000 on an annualized basis and disbursed $300,000 monthly.
2. The Board of Commissioners has provided funding for the hospital through a millage
tax levy.
3. It is been customary that property tax receipts for the funding for the hospital are
remitted to the hospital directly as they are received rather than being held for
distribution monthly.
4. Primary cash receipts are received by the hospital during the months of October,
November, and December and have historically been used to fund the annual
fiscal year of the hospital.
5. At times disbursement crosses fiscal years and or calendar years. The agreement
does not provide for a mechanism regarding collection and disbursement from the
tax commissioner. It does not provide a mechanism for either under or over
payment by the tax commissioner from one annual term to the next regarding
disbursement timing issues.
6. Staff believes a memorandum of understanding needs to be in place to provide an
organized method for collection and to review disbursements.
7. The Hospital is interest in acquiring county owned property located near to it.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve the MOU
2. Approve the MOU contingent upon HUD’s affirmation.
3. Provide staff with direction.
4. Do not approve the MOU.
FUNDING: Funding may be need if the tax levy does not bring in enough funding.
RECOMMENDATION: The County attorney has reviewed the MOU. The County’s attorneys
have requested the hospital to have HUD to acknowledge it has no issues with the MOU
being put in place. Staff recommends option 1 or 2 in approving the MOU.
DOCUMENTS ATTACHED: Hospital MOU.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
THIS MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (this “Memorandum”) is dated as of
November ___, 2014 by and between EFFINGHAM COUNTY HOSPITAL AUTHORITY d/b/a
Effingham Health System (the “Authority”) and EFFINGHAM COUNTY, acting by and through its
Commissioners (the “County”).
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Authority owns and operates Effingham Hospital (the “Hospital”) and related
healthcare facilities (collectively with the Hospital, the “Facilities”);
WHEREAS, as part of a major expansion of the Hospital and refinancing of the Authority’s debt,
the County entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement dated October 19, 2010 (“County Contract”);
WHEREAS, the Authority has completed its expansion project and the County has been
providing certain funds to the Authority pursuant to the terms of the County Contract;
WHEREAS, the Authority and the County have discussed certain aspects of the funding
mechanism set forth in the County Contract and wish to clarify the details of such funding and the
mechanism for accomplishing the funding as required by the terms of the County Contract;
WHEREAS, the intent of the parties in entering into this Memorandum is to set forth details of
and clarify the funding mechanism for the County Contract and is not intended as an amendment or
modification of the terms of the County Contract; and
WHEREAS, the Authority has requested and the County has agreed to convey to the Authority
certain land adjacent to the Hospital property as more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto
and made a part hereof (the “County Property”);
NOW THEREFORE for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Clarification of County Funding Prior to 2014. The County and the Authority have sought to
reconcile amounts due the Authority pursuant to the terms of the County Contract and prior contracts
between the County and the Authority. As a result of those discussions, the County and the Authority
agree that funds received to date by the hospital authority have provided complete satisfaction of all funds
owed under the County Contract to the Authority through calendar year ending December 2013. The
Authority relinquishes and releases any claims of funds owed by the County through 2013 under said
County Contract upon conveyance by the County to the Authority of the property as outlined in Exhibit
A.
2. County Property Conveyance. In order to enhance the ability of the Authority to provide
excellent healthcare to the citizens of Effingham County and provide adequate room for the growth of the
Hospital and its Facilities, the County has agreed to convey to the Authority without charge the County
Property. The conveyance will be completed within thirty (30) days of the date hereof and the Authority
will be responsible for any expenses associated with the closing of the acquisition.
3. Calendar Year 2014. The County and the Authority have also reconciled payments to be
applied to the obligations due to the Authority pursuant to the County Contract for calendar year 2014 and

have determined that the sum of Two Million Nine Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand and No/100
($2,925,000.00) is owed by the County to the Authority for 2014. Any Millage derived Funds,
(Intangible, Forest Land protection, PILT and Property Tax) received by the Authority from the
Effingham County Tax Commissioner or Effingham County Superior Court prior to December 31, 2014
shall be applied against the $2,925,000.00 amount owed by the County for 2014. The funding shall be
reconciled by January 15, 2015. Should the reconciliation show that funds received by December 31st
from the Effingham County Tax Commissioner and Superior Court do not satisfy in full the
$2,925,000.00, the County shall make payment of the difference to the Authority on or before January 25,
2015.
4. Calendar Years 2015 and Future Years Payment Clarification.
(a) The County and the Authority agree that beginning January 1, 2015; the Effingham County
Board of Commissioners may elect (the “Election”) to issue the tax levy (“County Levy”) on behalf of the
Authority solely in the County’s name with the collection of said millage derived funds being disbursed
directly to the County. This would discontinue any millage being levied and paid directly to the Hospital
Authority by the Effingham County Tax Commissioner or Superior Court (“Authority Levy”). The
County shall advise the Authority in writing of any such Election prior toby the end of the calendar
yearDecember 31 of prior to the year immediately preceding the year in which any such Election shall
take effect. If this Election is made, the County will setup a bank account for the collection of the County
Levy tax funds remitted directly to the County;, the County will disburse $300,000 monthly from the
account to the Hospital Authority pursuant to the County Contract, beginning in January of the year in
which the Election takes effect, currently $3,600,000 annually. After the Election by the County to
eliminate the Authority Levy, any collections by the Tax Commissioner or Superior Court of millage
derived revenues from any tax levy year prior to the Election year would be placed into the segregated
“Authority” account and from any funds deposited into the account the monthly prescribed payments up
to the $300,000 per month will be made to the Hospital. Beginning January 1st of the year following E,
provided that, except for the initial year of the County Levy, as discussed below, the Authority shall be
entitled to receive at least annually those Authority specific tax payments derived from any prior year
Authority Levy in addition to the amount specified in the County Contract to be paid by the County to the
Authority, currently $3,600,000 annually. To clarify, during the first year in which the County Levy is in
place, any prior year Authority Levy tax receipts received during that initial County Levy tax year shall
be available to the County to fund the amount specified in the County Contract, currently $3,600,000.
After the first year of the County Levy, any prior year Authority Levy tax receipts received by the
Authority shall be available to the Authority for use in operations in addition to the amount due from the
County, currently $3,600,000 per year.
Formatted: Superscript
(b) Until such time as the County chooses to make an Election to eliminate the Authority Levy,
the Authority shall deposit any tax revenue funds (“Millage Funds”) received from the Effingham County
Tax Commissioner or Effingham County Superior Court pursuant to the Authority Levy in a segregated
bank account in the name of the Authority. The Authority will draw $300,000 per month from the account
to fulfill the monthly contracted payments. The Authority and County shall meet quarterly to reconcile:
1. The funding received by the Authority from the Tax Commissioner and Superior Court into the
account, 2. The disbursements made to the Authority from the account, and 3. The amount, if any, due the
Authority from the County pursuant to the County Contract, currently $3,600,000 annually. To the extent
that the Millage Funds received during the year (1st quarter, 6 months and 9 months) are less than the
amount due from the County (currently $900,000 per quarter), the County shall disburse to the segregated
bank account in the name of the Authority the deficit within fifteen (15) days of the end of each calendar
quarter and disbursement from the account will be made to the Authority to make whole any deficit owed
for the prior quarter. Annually, within thirty (30) days of the end of each calendar year beginning with the
2015 calendar year, representatives of the County and the Authority shall meet to reconcile the payments

received by the Authority from the County, Tax Commissioner and Superior Court Clerk. In the event the
amounts received from the Tax Commissioner, Superior Court Clerk or other millage derived funds is
less than the amount requested by the Authority pursuant to the County Contract, currently $3,600,000,
the County shall pay the remaining amount into the segregated Authority bank account within fifteen (15)
days of the annual reconciliation for the calendar year ended. To the extent the Millage Funds exceed the
$3,600,000.00 on a year to date basis, the Authority shall reserve in the Bank Account the excess funds up
to $900,000 (the “Reserve Funds”). All funds in the account shall be Authority property and are available
to the Authority to utilize for Authority operations, subject to the Reserve Funds requirement. The
Reserve Funds shall be maintained with the right of the County to authorize the release of some or all of
the Reserve Funds during the calendar year to the Authority as partial or prepayment of the amount due
from the County for use in Authority operations in any given year, currently $3,600,000.
(c) To clarify the County Contract, Tthe Authority and the County acknowledge that the
Authority has the right pursuant to Section 2(b) of the contract to request additional amounts above the
Minimum Amount, as that term is defined in the County Contract, and the terms of this Memorandum are
not intended to modify that right or any other terms of the County Contract. The Authority is not asking
for any increase in funding at this time, although it retains the right as set forth in Section 2(b) of the
County Contract to seek such additional amounts in future years as the needs of the Authority may
require. Additionally, upon the County’s request and under certain circumstances described in Section
3(f) in the County Contract, the Authority, with appropriate approvals described therein, will reimburse
the County for the some of the County’s cost of providing indigent healthcare to the citizens of Effingham
County. While the circumstances described in the County Contract for such reimbursement have not
occurred to date, the Authority and the County agree to review the Authority budget requests, the
Authority financial statements and the County obligations on an annual basis to determine the future
applicability of this provision and to discuss financial benchmarks for the Authority.
5. County Contract. The parties hereto agree that this Memorandum is meant to clarify the
funding obligations and mechanisms of the County Contract, but in no way is it intended to amend or
modify the terms and conditions of the County Contract, which agreement is hereby ratified and
confirmed as originally written.

the intent of this Memorandum. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Authority and the

ISSUE:
Final plat approval for Blue Jay Estates subdivision
BACKGROUND:
Blue Jay Estates subdivision is a 7 lot subdivision
belonging to Jon Burns on Blue Jay Road. An agreement was reached for
the county to install the water line so that we could extend a larger line
than was needed for the subdivision alone.
FACTS AND FINDINGS:
1. The plat has been reviewed and approved by staff.
2. There is no infrastructure to be deeded to the county.
3. The water system is to be installed by Effingham County.
4. The water line installation will not be completed until March 31, 2015
5. Sewage will be handled by on-site septic systems.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. The Board may accept the final plat.
2. The Board could reject the final plat
FUNDING:
No funds required.
POLICY ANALYSIS:
It is the county’s policy to approve final plats that meet county standards.
County standards require all infrastructures to be installed prior to final plat
approval.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board approves the final plat for Blue Jay Estates subdivision with
the caveat that all deeds acknowledge that water service will
unavailable until April 2015.

ISSUE:
October 28, 2014
Toss Allen, County Administrator
Rushe Hudzinski, Human Resources Director
Consideration to approve holiday hours for December 26, 2014
BACKGROUND:
In the past, if the Christmas holiday fell on a Thursday, the Board of
Commissioners reviews the granting of December 26th, Friday, as an additional
county holiday in only that calendar year. This happens every seven to eight
years on the calendar and was last approved in December 2008.
FACTS AND FINDINGS:
In 2014, Christmas Eve falls on Wednesday, December 24th, Christmas falls on
Thursday, December 25th, and the day after Christmas falls on Friday December
26th - meeting the above stated criteria.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approval for an additional paid county holiday on December 26, 2014.
2. Approval for an unpaid county holiday on December 26, 2014 – with the
option for employees to use accrued personal leave if available.
3. Decline request and county resumes regular business hours on December
26, 2014.
FUNDING:
Projections for benefit/personal holiday expenditure cost in the 2014/2015
Budget completely support all alternative options.
POLICY ANALYSIS:
It is the policy of the Board of Commissioners to review and approve all policy
changes in regard to the Human Resources Standards of Practice
RECOMMENDATION:
Option 1:
The projected cost of granting a county paid holiday for December 26th or
granting an unpaid holiday for December 26th with the option for the employee
to use accrued personal leave is virtually the same cost. The difference is those
employees that do not have 8 hours of leave available would not be paid for
the day – which effects approximately 2- 3 %.
Department heads have been mindful of their usage of personnel costs,
therefore the personnel budget can support the paid holiday without being an
addition to the approved budget.
Due to December 26th being a Friday, the need for County Services would be
minimal and the closure would save on heating/cooling, gas and electric costs
for all buildings for the day.

FROM: Adam Kobek, Director of Community Relations
ISSUE:
Consideration of Accept quote and execute Proposal for M.E.P.
design services for Tusculum Fire Station.
BACKGROUND:
The Board accepted property for a fire station to be
located in Tusculum. Architectural and structural drawings have been
completed; site work plans are being generated in house. Mechanical,
Electrical and Plumbing design will provide the County with a complete
set of building plans necessary for letting the project to a licensed general
contractor.
FACTS AND FINDINGS:
1. The county publically advertised and solicited quotes from qualified
M.E.P firms, and received three responses on 10/28/14.
2. The lowest quote was returned by Chatham Engineering at $2,500 plus
reimbursables such as printing and mileage, although none are required
in this scope of work.
3. Chatham Engineering has worked on several projects for Effingham
County including the Sheriff’s Office and Jail project and
4. The project is funded by SPLOST and included in the Short Term Work
Program
5. Staff proposes to bid the complete project to a general contractor
which should provide for a more efficient project delivery and a single
responsible party for all related construction.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. The Board may elect to accept the bid from Chatham Engineering
and approve execution of the proposal.
2. The Board may elect not to accept the bid and provide staff with
direction.

building design documents allows for bidding documents, consistency in
comparing returned bids and provides unified specifications for work to
be completed on our behalf, either by a general contractor or through
the County. MEP drawings are all that are remain for a complete set of
building design documents.
