the commissioners.
Request from the Health Department for Proposed Staffing Changes and Budget
Adjustments: Health Director Ray Rabe said his department was requesting to add a full-time
Processing Assistant III fbilln-0-2n and .o expand the employment time fora Vitil Records
Clerk from 60% to 100%. Rabe said there would not be any costs due to some changes in both
expenditures (staffing adjustments) and revenues. Mr. Rabe said the following position changes
had occurred in the past few months due to (1) better management practices (2) a retirement and
(3) the unfortunate death of an employee.
1. A full-time Nursing Supv. II position was changed to a Public Health Nurse I position.
2. A Public Health Nurse III position was changed to a Physician Extender II. (A higher
reimbursement rate may be achieved with this change.)
3. A Medical Records Assistant IV position (vacant) was reclassified as an Office Work
Unit Supervisor IV.
Rabe said the staffing changes `offered a good business opportunity." He said that
Medicaid now required the staff to invoice private insurance companies - - it was not optional.
Rabe said the extra hours for the Vital Records Clerk would allow some backup for the
environmental health office. He noted that when the secretary had to be out in this department,
the environmental supervisor had to, at times, remain in the office and answer the phone. He
said the money needed to cover the time expansion from 60% to 100% could be covered out of
the Medicaid Maximization Deferred Revenue Account.
Mr. Rabe said that with the changes, the department would be "ahead by $71,029." He
said the Medicaid Maximization Funds weren't really needed, but the usage of them was what
the board of health had recommended.
Update on a Road Name Compromise between the Staff of Iredell County and Mr.
David Pressly (Fourth Crescent Place): Planning Supervisor Smith said that at the August 7,
2001 commissioners' meeting, the staff had been directed to work with Mr. Pressly on a road
name compromise. Previously, Pressly had wanted to name a road Fourth Creek Crescent
Drive. The staff and planning board denied the request due to its similarity to a road named
Fourth Creek Landing Drive, located in the same area. Smith said the staff and Mr. Pressly had
worked together, and all parties were acceptable to the road being called: Fourth Crescent
Place.
Request for the Approval of a Resolution Pertaining to the Renaming, or
Renumbering, of NC 136 to NC 3: Commissioner Bowles said he wanted to make sure that
this change would only be for the state name. He said he understood the name of Coddle Creek
would not be affected.
Ron Smith, the Planning Supervisor, said Commissioner Bowles' understanding was
was correct.
ADJOURNMENT: Chairman Tice adjourned the briefing session at 6:45 p.m.

Clerk to the Board
