REVIEW OF THE GRIFFITH STUDY DONE AT HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES DEPARTMENTS: A committee met
on Monday, June 11, 1990, with staff members and members of the Griffith firm to discuss the studies
performed by Griffith at health and social services departments. Mr. Bryan spoke regarding the
study done at the health department; Mrs. Stewart spoke regarding the study at social services
department. After their discussions, Commissioner Hedrick said he thought a letter should be
written to the Griffith firm registering the county commissioners' complaint about Griffith's inade-
quate studies.
The board discussed new position requests in the budget. Following discussion, Commissioner
Bryan made a motion to approve the budget from health department with the new positions as submit-
ted. No vote was taken on the motion; however, a consensus was reached by the board members.
Commissioner Stewart recommended three of the four positions requested by social services
director in his budget request.
The board reviewed certain sections of the budget where they had questions. One question was
raised about radios requested by animal control. Mr. Hedrick recommended the county staff to check
into the sale of furniture at Furniture House of NC, which could result in a large saving to the
county.
The board reviewed some of the former adjustments they had made, such as Mitchell College
funding, increased COG funding, increased Mooresville Chamber funding, and increased legal fees.
