CALL TO ORDER: By Chairman Sloan
LEAD AGENCY FOR THE HOME AND COMMUNITY CARE GRANT FUNDS FOR OLDER AMERICANS: Chairman Sloan
turned the meeting over the the county manager for the purpose of discussing a lead agency
appointment. Mr. Mashburn read the following prepared statement:
After careful consideration, review of available information and discussions with other staff
members, it is my recommendation that the County Manager's Office be appointed as the lead agency to
administer the Home and Community Care Block Grant for Older Adults. My reasons for this recommen-
dation are: r
(1) The other two agencies that have been considered /
have a vested interest in the outcome of the funding
plan, and it appears that each agency has the perception
that the lead agency will have a funding advantage.
(2) Much of the administrative work will out of necessity
be run through the Office of the County Manager or the
Finance Office.
(3) I have on my staff a person who has much experience
in working with the administration of grants and has
the ability to carry out the responsibilities of the
lead agency which are:
(1) Direct the work of the Advisory Committee.
(2) Prepare the Funding Plan.
(3) Facilitate Public Hearings.
(4) Insure the plan complies with all requirements.
I further recommend that the committee similar to the one appointed by the board on November 7,
1989, be appointed as the Advisory Committee on Home and Community Care for Older Adults. The
committee should consist of representatives from the following agencies:
Elder Center
110 Council on Aging
Housing Authority
Health Department
Social Services
Statesville/South Iredell United Way
AAA Advisory Committee (Board needs to name)
Consumer (Board needs to name)
Elected Official (Board needs to name)
MOTION from Commissioner Madison to approve the county manager's recommendation and add up to
ten consumers to the advisory board, which would make a 20 -member committee.
VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 0
CITIZENS' COMPLAINTS: The board consented that it would be a good policy to put a topic on
the future commissioners' meeting agendas entitled "Citizens Address the County Commissioners." It
was agreed that the citizens should call the county manager and/or clerk's office and send a letter
stating what the topic of conversation would be. In this manner if staff can assist the complainant
before meeting time, it may be that the problem can be resolved in a more timely manner.
BUDGET DISCUSSION: Commissioner Stewart inquired if the budget preparation is on schedule.
Mr. Mashburn said the budget preparation is on schedule.
ADJOURN: MOTION from Chairman Sloan to adjourn the meeting at 1:00 p.m.
Next meeting: March 3, 1992, 1:30 p.m., County Commissioners' Meeting Room, Iredell County
Government Center, Statesville, NC. There will be no agenda briefing on Tuesday, March 3, 1992, at
4:00 p.m., as scheduled.
