Commissioner Hedrick suggested a revised plan of financing be discussed. The Chief's Council
meeting is scheduled for November 16th. At that time a discussion could be held with all the
volunteer fire departments regarding the funding level.
In the meantime, Commissioner Hedrick suggested that the county manager write letters to the
two chambers of commerce in the county and ask them to get in touch with the County fire marshal and
let him notify the proper volunteer fire department of any new industry that is planning to locate
in the area.

TIRE RECOVERY, INC., DEEP RUN, NC, DISCUSSION OF RECYCLING TIRES AT LANDFILL, MR. JOHNNY
BRAXTON: Mr. Braxton presented his plan to the board. He explained the legislation that will be
effective as of January 1, 1991, in reference to the new tax imposed upon the sale of tires, which
tax will be used for disposal of the tires. Mr. Braxton proposed to pick up the tires at the
landfill and transport them to Atlanta, where they will be shredded and used for fuel. Mr. Brax-
ton's charge for picking up the tires is 362 for a car tire. It tax approximately 1300 passenger
tires to make up a tractor -trailer load. This would be $475; freight would be $385; total would be
$860.
Another suggestion Mr. Braxton had was to leave the scrap tires at the tire company, and his
service would pick them up there. These would alleviate some of the personnel cost of the tire
distributor as well as the landfill.
After further discussion the county manager requested if the board concurs with this concept,
to allow the landfill supervisor, the finance officer and himself to make a thorough study of the
new legislation and bring back a proposal to the board from Tire Recovery, Inc., based on the new
legislation, and the board can act on the matter at that time.
Mr. Mashburn also remarked that he had received a letter regarding another program that pro-
posed bringing a shredder to the landfill site to shred the rubber. It would be the county's
responsibility to dispose of the shredded rubber.
It was the consensus of the board for the manager to proceed with a final recommended plan.
AUTHORIZATION FOR CAR ASSIGNED TO SHERIFF IN LIEU OF MONTHLY CAR ALLOWANCE: The sheriff
currently receives $250 for monthly car allowance and is requesting an increase or an unmarked car
purchased for his use. After discussion, MOTION was made by Commissioner Hedrick that the
Sheriff's travel allowance be increased from $250 to $350 for the remainder of this budget year.
The funds are to come from the Sheriff's budget.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
