THIS CONCLUDES THE CONSENT AGENDA
LAM ENFORCEMENT TELEVISION NETWORK CONTRACTS 89-26 6 89-27: Sheriff Clyde Lloyd advised the
board that this contract was for one year and would be used for training. The contract can be
renewed or terminated six months prior to renewal time. Training films would be broadcasted 400
hours a month.
Chairman Sloan inquired if the training films would replace some of the training involving
travel, or would it simply supplement the existing training. The sheriff advised he hoped this
would cut down on some of the training that required travel.
Commissioner Stewart mentioned it was her understanding that in January of 1990 course credits
would be available for the training films, and the reasoning behind starting the films now rather
than waiting until January would be to save money. The sheriff advised if they signed the contract
now the company waived the $788 installation fee and the three hook-ups inside the department.
Commissioner Stewart inquired if this amount was covered in the Sheriff's budget for the
current year; the sheriff replied affirmatively.
MOTION from Commissioner Murdock to approve the two contracts with LETN, Subscription Agreement
(#89-26) and Installation Agreement (#89-27).

REQUEST FOR APPROVAL FOR MS. DONNA RICCIARDI, PUBLIC HEALTH NURSING SUPERVISOR, TO ATTEND OFF -
CAMPUS MASTER'S DEGREE PROGRAM IN PUBLIC HEALTH POLICY AND ADMINISTRATION:
Mr. Bill Mashburn, Health Director, and Ms. Janet Blaufuss, Nursing Director, were present to
discuss and answer questions pertaining to this request. The health director advised this program
was very competitive, and similar requests had been approved in the past. Ms. Blaufuss offered
her support of Ms. Ricciardi's request and said Ms. Ricciardi was a very conscientious and motivated
employee.
Chairman Sloan asked if a precedent had been set on this type of request.
Commissioner Stewart stated she had no problems with employees trying to better themselves, but
to pay salary, tuition, and books was a little too much. She also mentioned a request of a DSS
.. employee similar to this which was denied.
Chairman Sloan asked if the County had a policy explaining this type of request, and the county
manager explained the current policy.
MOTION from Commissioner Murdock for the County to pay for Ms. Ricciardi's salary for the leave
time (Fridays) spent in obtaining her master's degree for the next three years. In return, Ms.
Ricciardi will pay for her tuition, books and travel expenses. Ms. Ricciardi will be required to
continue her employment with Iredell County for three years after the completion of her studies.
VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 0.
Chairman Sloan suggested that a clarification on the educational leave policy be made.
