Sheriff’s crime district to follow old CADI boundaries | The Augusta Chronicle

Only property owners who paid for the Clean Augusta Downtown Initiative will be asked to approve and pay for Sheriff Richard Roundtree’s Continually Patrolled District.

Roundtree, who last week said owners outside the CADI district would be allowed to participate, said Tuesday he’ll petition only those within the CADI district, which spanned roughly Eighth to 13th streets between Greene Street and the Savannah River.

He’ll mail out information about the program to those owners soon and begin meeting with them Thursday, Roundtree said.

Others who desire extra law enforcement “can come to one of the meetings” or “contact us” if they want, but won’t receive information about the program, Roundtree said.

In the 500 block of Broad, art studio owner Roy Davenport said he saw no need for a new tax to fund extra law enforcement.
