The City of Calhoun and Gordon County make allocations annually to the Chamber of Commerce and the Development Authority through distributions of Hotel/Motel Tax receipts, for Economic Development Services and Tourism. The Chamber of Commerce receives 3/S’s of the allocation and the Development Authority receives 2/S’s. The above arrangement has worked well in the past for the City of Calhoun, the remaining municipalities of Gordon County who do not impose a Hotel/Motel Tax, and unincorporated Gordon County. Therefore, we see no advantages in changing a system that works well for all concerned parties. We, the undersigned agree that the Economic Development Strategy in place has proven to be an efficient and effective means of addressing our economic development needs and see no apparent duplication of services nor prospect for consolidation of services.

To insure tax equity in future funding for Fire Protection, The Board of Commissioners established a Special Revenue Fund for Fire Protection, consisting of Insurance Premium Taxes and a portion of Local Option Sales Tax Revenues. Fairmount and Plainville employ a Station Chief and provide station facilities. Ranger has provided the land upon which the County erected a station facility, and Resaca makes an annual budget allocation in support of the volunteer station located in that municipality. All other firefighting personnel are compensated by the County and all are under the direction of the County Fire Chief. The City of Calhoun funds its full-time Fire Department through Insurance Premium taxes and General tax revenues imposed on the residents of the City of Calhoun. The City of Calhoun enjoys a lower ISO rating than the other cities in Gordon County or unincorporated Gordon County, and provides a higher level of service. We, the undersigned agree that the Fire Services Delivery Strategy described above is proving to be an effective and efficient manner of delivering fire protection services to all the residents of Gordon County without jeopardizing any one jurisdictional ISO rating. The City of Calhoun’s full-time Fire Department is solely for the purpose of enhancing fire service within the corporate limits and central business district of Calhoun and provides a higher level of service than the base level of service provided elsewhere in the county. As the Gordon County Fire Department carries the major responsibility for all other jurisdictions, we see no apparent duplication of services nor issues for consolidation, this the 16 th day of March, 2000.

Gordon County also imposes a County Wide 2 mu property tax assessment dedicated to road, street, and bridge improvements in incorporated and unincorporated areas of Gordon County. Gordon County offers this service through the County Road Department, maintaining approximately 600 miles of roadways including corresponding bridges and rights-of-way outside the corporate city limits of Calhoun, Fairmount, Plainville, Ranger, and Resaca. The City of Calhoun offers less comprehensive service through its Street Department for its city streets and bridges inside the corporate city limits. The cities of Calhoun, Fairmount, Plainville, Ranger and Resaca will utilize Gordon County expertise, equipment, and manpower for resurfacing and paving needs for Georgia D.O.T. sponsored LARP and PR projects, or other streets in each municipality as may be budgeted for by each municipality. Gordon County will purchase necessary materials used for those projects and charge back to the respective municipality the county’s cost of materials, as determined by the annual bid process and contract award. Paving projects will be scheduled through coordination of city and county staff, with every effort made to complete those projects during the current paving season. Additionally, Gordon County will provide paving services for the City of Calhoun in an amount equal to the percentage derived from comparing the total mileage of city streets to the total mileage of County Roads, and applying that resulting percentage to the total annual General Fund operating budget of the county Road Department. We, the undersigned agree that the Roads and Bridges Service Delivery Strategy in place is an effective and efficient method of service delivery that provides for tax equity for each entity without the need for consolidation, this the 16”’ day of March, 2000. ---PAGE BREAK--- J.C. ‘Maddox Gordon County C ission Chairman Steve Brannon y r, City of Fairmount y Hpp 4 / /Malor, City of Ranger Jimmy imer7 Mayor,’ City o Calhoun Sally JohnstoiQ ) Mayor, City of Plainville oe Don Griffith-Sr” % Mayor, City of Resaca C ---PAGE BREAK--- SERVICE DELIVERY STRATEGY SUMMARY OF SERVICE DELIVERY ARRANGEMENTS PAGE 2 Make copies of this form and complete one for each service listed on page 1, Section 111.

In 1953, at the request of sole Commissioner John Slagle, the City of Calhoun began the extension of public water throughout Gordon County, including the municipalities of Resaca, Ranger, and Plainville. The city of Fairmount operated its own water system until 1986, when it contracted with Calhoun for operation, maintenance and improvements. Calhoun rebates a franchise fee annually to the city of Fairmount for repayment of outstanding revenue bonds. That franchise fee will be rebated until the year 2003, at which time title to all remaining portions of the Fairmount system will be transferred to the city of Calhoun. Plainville also serves as a point of payment for water bills and Calhoun remits a fee of $.20 per b,ill for collection services. The city of Calhoun’s water system now has over 561 miles of public water lines located throughout Gordon County. It serves a customer base of 14,923, with 10,196 of those customers in the unincorporated area of Gordon County. / The city of Calhoun has a two tier rate system for customers located within and without the corporate limits of Calhoun, and has justified that rate differential through actual operating costs and debt service costs associated with the operation and maintenance of the city water system. The city of Calhoun and the city of Fairmount both own and operate a waste water treatment facility, with the city, of Calhoun operating the largest. Fairmount’ s system is limited in size and serves a limited customer base, solely within the corporate limits of the city.
