APPROVAL OF MINUTES - JANUARY 29-30, 1993 (RETREAT), FEBRUARY 2, 1993, AND FEBRUARY 9, 1993:
Commissioner Hamby requested that Commissioner Madison restate some information he gave at the
retreat regarding the cost of space for the Social Services Department. Commissioner Madison said
1f the DSS leases space, the Federal Government will participate at the rate of 55%. If the rent is
$1000 a month, the Federal Government will pay $550. However, if the DSS builds a building and the
County owns the space, then the loan is amortized over a period of 45 years, then they pay 55% of
that over a 45 -year period. Consequently it is much to the County's advantage to lease space if it
can be rented at a competitive rate, insofar as DSS is concerned. As far as the other buildings for
the county are concerned, the County would be better off to own them, Commissioner Madison said.
Commissioner Hamby requested that this be added to the minutes.
MOTION from Commissioner Boone to approve the minutes as presented.
VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 0.
BUDGET AMENDMENT /25: MOTION from Chairman Haire to approve the Budget Amendment I25 as

VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 0.
WATERSHED PERMITTING PROCESS - HARMONY AMID LOVE VALLEY: Mr. Lundy said that he would recommend
that the county commissioners agree to enforce the watershed regulations with the first year to be
at no cost and for the cost to be examined every year thereafter. The potential for incurring costs
continues to build as you continue to have to keep records, Lundy said. With the small amount of
activity that takes place in both these municipalities, the County will probably incur very slight
costs the first year. He recommended that the Board go ahead and agree to accept their watershed
responsibilities, but they re-examine the costs one year after it is in place.
MOTION from Commissioner Madison to instruct the County Attorney to draw an agreement to carry
out the watershed responsibilities for the Towns of Harmony and Love Valley at no cost for the first
year, but that 1t be re-examined each year thereafter. Mr. Lundy is to get with the County Attorney
and work out the details of the legal agreement and bring it back to the board for approval.
Further, this is not to be construed as setting a precedent for watershed permitting for other
municipalities.
