paraprofessional tasks subject to GPDC approval. Circuit Public Defender reserves the right to change
the distribution of statutorily authorized personnel among different job classifications with the consent

Section 1.02 Statutory Services. The Public Defender Office agrees to provide representation to

(1) Cases prosecuted in the Superior Court of Glynn County under the laws of the State of Georgia in

Section 1.04 Claims by third parties. All claims made by third parties against the Public Defender
Office shall be defended, and if necessary, paid by the Public Defender Office.
ARTICLE2
ADDITIONAL PERSONNEL AND SERVICES
Section 2.01 Additional personnel. The Public Defender Office agrees to provide and the County
agrees to pay for additional (non-statutory) personnel, and for salary supplements, as described more
fully below:
(1) Salary and benefits for additional personnel. The Public Defender Office agrees to provide
and the County agrees to pay for its pro rata share of the personnel budget provided in attachment "B",
which is the budget for the additional (non-statutory) personnel described in Attachment "A". The
amount to be paid shall include a 5% administrative services fee as reflected in Attachment "B". This
fee is determined by the total amount of the personnel budget, regardless of the number of budgeted
positions or amount actually spent. Upon expiration or termination of the agreement, any unused
portion of the administrative services fee may be refunded to the County at the discretion of the
Georgia Public Defender Standards Council. The total number of Public Defender Office staff, as well
as the job classifications, descriptions and duties, salary and benefits, and other terms and conditions of
employment are subject to change without notice provided that the Circuit Public Defender does not
exceed the total amount budgeted in Attachment "B". Unless otherwise indicated any additional
personnel employed by the Public Defender Office pursuant to this section are paid employees of the
Public Defender Office in the unclassified service of the State Merit System of Personnel
Administration. As such, they shall receive such benefits as GPDC shall establish, consistent with
those benefits provided by law to employees in the unclassified service. Attachments "A" and "B" are
incorporated herein by reference.
(2) Supplemental (1099) Salary. The Public Defender Office further agrees to provide and County
agrees to pay a salary supplement for selected statutory and non-statutory personnel within the
discretion of the Circuit Public Defender in the total amount reflected as "1099 Salary Supplement" in
Attachment "B". The recipients and amounts of monthly supplement payments are subject to change
without notice provided that the Circuit Public Defender does not exceed the total amount budgeted in
Attachment "B".
(3) Fiscal agent. Camden County agrees to be the fiscal agent for administration of the 1099 salary
supplement budget. The administrative fee for this service is included within the rent paid by the
Public Defender Office to Camden County. Each county shall pay Camden County its pro rata monthly
share no later than the 15 th day of the preceding month. Salary supplements shall be distributed on the
next to last business day of the month to various personnel in the amounts identified by the Circuit
Public Defender in writing no later than the twentieth day of each month.
(4) Advance payment required. This article may be amended or terminated by the Public Defender
Office if the County does not pay for the above-referenced personnel costs in advance in accordance
with this agreement. See article IV, infra.
-3-
Section 2.02 Additional services. In addition to the services established by law and as an additional
consideration to Glynn County, the Public Defender Office agrees to provide the following additional
services to Glynn County:
( 1) Representation to indigent defendants in deposit account fraud cases in the
Magistrate Court of Glynn County;
(2) Representation of defendants who are "indigent" within the meaning of the U.S. Constitution and
Constitution of the State of Georgia, and for whom the County would therefore be required to
provide representation, and who would otherwise qualify for services of the Circuit Public
Defender under the Indigent Defense Act of 2003 but are ineligible solely because the "maximum
income level" applicable to them pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 17-12-2(6) exceeds 150 percent of the
federal poverty level. This "gap coverage" provision is intended for the benefit of the County
only, and is not intended to create any right, title, interest, benefit or expectation in any third party
to this agreement. Further provided, moreover, that nothing set forth herein shall expand the
financial responsibility of the Public Defender Office or GPDC for conflict cases.
(3) Direct appeals from a decision in cases described in (1) and (2) above.
Section 2.03 Reciprocal services from Glynn County. The operating budget, set forth as Attachment
"B", includes payment in the amount of $2,500 per month for the approximately 4,000 square foot
office located in the Office Park Building located at 11 Judicial Lane, Suite 111 (1803 Gloucester
Street), Brunswick, Georgia 31520. The payment shall include the following services: cable, internet
service and technical support (through the Information Technology Department), website, network and
judicial network (Odyssey). Since the building is owned by Glynn County, maintenance, repairs,
cleaning services, security, surveillance, and alarm systems are the responsibility of Glynn County and
will be provided at its cost and discretion. The payment also covers non-exclusive use of the parking lot
and second floor conference room in the Office Park Building.
The County will continue to provide for utilities which shall include power, water, sewer, sanitation,
and pest control under the same terms and conditions as previous years. The Public Defender Office
shall continue to pay to the County $30.00 each month for local telephone service and shall pay the
County each month for the long distance telephone charges incurred by the Public Defender Office
(being the same manner and rates applied to County departments). Purchase of telephones compatible
with the county telephone system, as needed, shall be the responsibility of Public Defender Office.
The Public Defender Office shall also retain for the term of this agreement, and at no additional cost,
the use of the furniture, filing cabinets, office equipment and other tangible, inventoried property of the
former Glynn County Public Defender Office. Provided, however, that the County shall retain
ownership of such property and such property shall be subject to the same disposition and surplus
regulations as all other property owned by the County.

ARTICLE3
OPERATING EXPENSES
Section 3.01 Operating Expenses. The County agrees to pay its pro rata share of the operating budget
provided in Attachment B, which is the budget for appropriate offices, utilities, telephone operating
expenses, materials, supplies and other operating expenses of the Public Defender Office plus a 5%
administration fee to GPDC. Nothing herein shall be construed to authorize expenditure of county
funds for operating expenses which are the financial responsibility of GPDC, to wit: travel expenses of
statutory staff and covered expert witness fees and expenses. The 5% administration fee is determined
by the total amount of the County's pro rata share of the operating expenses and is separate from the
5% administrative services fee described in Section 2.01 of this agreement.
Section 3.02 Administration of Operating Budget. GPDC agrees to be the fiscal agent for the
administration of the operating budget. GPDC will process and mail checks in payment of invoices
approved by the Circuit Public Defender, drawn on those County funds and made payable to the
vendors at the addresses shown on the invoices. GPDC reserves the right to reject payment for
expenditures which are not authorized by this contract or which would otherwise violate state law.
"Payment" for purposes of this agreement means preparation of a check by GPDC in its normal course
and procedure and its mailing in a properly addressed envelope with sufficient postage by deposit into
the United States mail.
Section 3.03 Procedure for payment. The County or the Public Defender Office, or both, will make
purchases and enter into financial obligations for operating budget. Upon approval by the Circuit
Public Defender, an invoice will be transmitted to GPDC. GPDC shall pay the amount stated on the
invoice with funds provided by the County for the purpose of paying such expenses. The payment of
said expenses under this agreement will be paid only out of County funds supplied to GPDC for the
sole purpose of paying for operating office expenses.
Section 3.04 Responsibility. The County will deliver funds to GPDC at its own risk until receipt is
acknowledged by GPDC. GPDC's sole duty with regard to County funds, other than their proper
expenditure, will be their deposit into a state depository demand account. Interest, if any, will accrue to
the general fund of the state treasury. GPDC bears responsibility for properly remitting payment for
invoices approved by the Circuit Public Defender provided sufficient funds from the County exist. To
the extent allowed by law, County bears the legal responsibility for any claim that arises from GPDC's
inability to remit payment due to insufficient funds for said office expenses.
Section 3.05 Limitation of liability. Under no circumstances shall GPDC be obligated to pay for
operating expenses out of funds other than those provided by the County for that purpose. Without
limiting the foregoing, GPDC is not obligated to pay for office expenses out of state funds or other
funds available to GPDC. GPDC undertakes only to receive funds from the County and to process and
mail checks in payment of invoices approved by the Circuit Public Defender. GPDC shall have no
further legal obligation in any circumstance or event beyond the amount of funds received from the
County for the purpose of paying for office expenses under this agreement. In the event that GPDC
fails to make payment on an invoice that has been properly processed and county funds are available,
the exclusive remedy for any tort claim against GPDC will be the Georgia Tort Claims Act.
-5-
Section 3.06 Taxes. The County will pay all taxes lawfully imposed upon it with respect to the
operating budget and office expenses. GPDC makes no representation whatsoever as to the liability or
exemption from liability of the County to any tax imposed by any governmental entity.
Section 3.07 Transcripts. The County will pay the court reporter for all transcripts in any case in
which the Public Defender Office has a legal responsibility for direct appeal. The County will pay for
transcripts of previous proceedings for use at trial, or for discretionary appeal, to the extent that the trial
court concludes defendant is entitled to same as a matter of law. See Britt v. North Carolina, 404 U.S.
266 (1971). However, the Public Defender Office shall pay the court reporter for any and all
transcripts of preliminary hearings ordered prior to trial.
Section 3.08 Interpreters. The Public Defender shall only be responsible for interpreters when it is for
the sole use (out-of-court) of the Public Defender Office. Any in-court use of interpreters shall be the
responsibility of the County.
Section 3.09 Manner and Method of Payment. The County agrees to pay the amount stated in
Attachment B, under "Total Payments to GPDC," in 12 monthly installments. Installments are due by
the 15th of the preceding month beginning on June 15, 2018. Payments shall be sent to the following
address: Georgia Public Defender Council, Attention: Jason Ring, 104 Marietta Street Suite 400,
Atlanta, Georgia 30303.

MISCELLANEOUS
Section 4.01 Term. The term of this agreement is for twelve months beginning July 1, 2018 and
ending June 30, 2019.
Section 4.02 Maintenance of effort. The County agrees that it will continue to fund indigent defense
for the term of this agreement, at a minimum, at the level of its most recent budgeted level of funding

developed) for indigent defense and as a part of this support each county agrees to provide the space,
equipment and operating expenses necessary to effectively operate the circuit public defender office.
Section 4.03 Severabilty. Any section, subsection, paragraph, term or condition, provision or other
part (hereinafter collectively referred to as "part") of this agreement that is judged, held, found, or
declared to be voidable, void, invalid, illegal or otherwise not fully enforceable shall not affect any
other part of this agreement, and the remainder of this agreement shall continue to be of full force and
effect. Any agreement of the parties to amend, modify, eliminate, or otherwise change any part of this
agreement shall not affect any other part of this agreement, and the remainder of this agreement shall
continue to be of full force and effect.

-6-
(2) Each party to this agreement agrees to cooperate with the other party to effectuate and carry out

or counties they serve.
(4) This agreement, and the rights and obligations of the parties, are governed by, and subject to and

be altered or amended only by a subsequent written agreement of equal dignity; provided, however,
that the parties' representatives identified in Section 4.05 may agree in writing, by an exchange of

parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this agreement. No modifications may be made
without prior notice to and approval from all the parties to this agreement.
-7-
Section 4.07 Termination. Termination provisions for this agreement are as follows:
(1) Due to non-availability of funds. In the event that either of the sources of reimbursement for
services under this agreement (appropriations from the General Assembly of the State of Georgia, or
appropriations from the governing authority of the County) is refused during the term of this
agreement, the Public Defender Office may make financial and other adjustments to this agreement and
notify the County accordingly. An adjustment may be an agreement amendment or may be the
termination of the agreement. The certification by the director of the Georgia Public Defender
Standards Council of the occurrence of reduction in State funds is conclusive. The certification of the
occurrence of the reduction in county funds by the person named in Section 4.05 by the County to
receive notices is conclusive. The County shall promptly notify the Public Defender Office in writing
on the non-existence or insufficiency of funds and the date of termination. The Public Defender Office
shall then immediately cease providing the services required hereunder except for any necessary
winding down and transition services required under Section 4.08. In lieu of terminating this
agreement, the County and the Public Defender Office may make financial and other adjustments to
this agreement by amending it pursuant to Section 4.06.
(2) For cause. This agreement may be terminated for cause, in whole or in part, at any time by either
party for failure by the other party to substantially perform any of its duties under this agreement.
"Cause" means a breach or default of any material obligation hereunder which default is incapable of
cure, or which, being capable of cure, has not been cured within 30 days after receipt of notice of such
default (or such additional cure period as the non-defaulting party may authorize). Should a party
exercise its right to terminate this agreement under this subsection, the termination shall be
accomplished in writing and specify the reason and the termination date. In the event of termination
under this subsection, the Public Defender Office shall submit a final agreement expenditure report
containing all charges incurred through and including the termination date to the County no later than
30 days after the effective date of written notice of termination and the County shall pay the amount
due within 15 days of the receipt of the final agreement expenditure upon report. Upon termination of
this agreement, the Public Defender Office shall not incur any new obligations after the effective date
of this termination, except as required under Section 4.08. The above remedies contained in this
subsection are in addition to any other remedies provided by law or the terms of this agreement.
(3) For convenience. This agreement may be cancelled or terminated by either of the parties without
cause; however, the party seeking to terminate or cancel this agreement shall give written notice of its
intention to do so to the other party at least 60 days prior to the effective date of cancellation or
termination.
(4) Post-termination obligations. After termination of this agreement pursuant to this Section, the
Public Defender Office and the County agree to comply with the provisions of Section 4.08 (b).
Section 4.08 Cooperation in transition of services. The Public Defender Office and the County
acknowledge that both have responsibilities for indigent defense costs under the Georgia Indigent
Defense Act of 2003, as amended, and that the termination or expiration of this agreement does not
relieve either party of their responsibility under the law. The Public Defender Office agrees upon
termination or expiration of this agreement, in whole or in part, for any reason to cooperate as
requested by the County to effectuate the smooth and reasonable transition of services for existing
clients. This includes but it not limited to the continuation of representation by Public Defender Office
where appropriate or required by law, court rule or the State Bar of Georgia ethical standards or the
-8-
facilitation of the timely transfer to the County of the client records. The County shall compensate the
Public Defender Office for all post-termination or post-expiration services under this subsection at an
agreed upon hourly rate. The Public Defender Office shall submit a monthly expenditure report
containing all charges incurred during the preceding month on or before the 5th day of each month. The
County shall pay the amount due within 15 days of the receipt of the monthly expenditure report. This
subsection survives the termination or expiration of the agreement.
Section 4.09 Advance of Funds. The parties agree that the advances of funds cannot remain
outstanding following agreement termination or expiration and will be reclaimed. The parties agree that
upon termination of this agreement, for any reason, all unexpended and un-obligated funds held by the
parties revert to the party entitled to the funds. The parties agree to reconcile expenditures against
advances of funds within 30 days of termination of this agreement.
Section 4.10 Time. Time is of the essence.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have each hereunto affixed their signatures the day and year
first written above.
