BRIEFING IN REFERENCE TO THE AMITY HILL BRIDGE REPLACEMENT:
William Allison explained that the N.C. Dept. of Transportation
(DOT) contacted his office in April of 1996 regarding this bridge
replacement. Studies are generally conducted on federally funded
projects. The transportation department determines if the sites
have any archaeological/historical/environmental significance.
Also, DOT looks to see if any new development will occur in the
immediate area which might affect the design/layout of the project.
The staff found nothing detrimental to this site and responded
accordingly. A copy of the study is available for review. The
bridge (#27) is off I-77 (Amity Hill Exit) and is about a milc
south of I-77 (bottom of the hill). The site is a tributary of
Third Creek. (No action was requested of the Board.)
REQUEST FOR RECLASSIFICATION - HOUSEPARENT/IREDELL COUNTY
YOUTH HONE: The county manager said this request was to reclassify
a houseparent at the youth home to Houseparent/Administrative
Assistant. This action is requested since it has been determined
that more administrative work is needed for the proper day-to-day
operations of the home. Mashburn felt it was necessary to
designate one person to be responsible for administrative activity.
Duties of the assistant would be:
1. oversee maintenance of house and equipment
2. Budget preparation
3. Accounts payable
�. Scheduling personnel to insure youth home is staffed
5. Coordinate annual licensing of the home
6. insure completion of records/files/reports
Mashburn recommended a Grade 63 (Salary range/$21,552-$30,168)
and said a budget amendment was not necessary. There has been much
personnel turnover (fourth position) at the youth home. Some
overtime has been paid. Youth Home, Inc. (Charlotte, NC), has
assisted in the adequate staffing at the home.
Commissioner Stewart asked about the number of youth being
served at the home. Mashburn said the home could only accomodate
six clients, and the majority of time, enrollment is about this
number.
Commissioner Boone said that even if the home had six clients,
or the maximum, it still took four full-time employees to supervise
them. (Mr. Boone said he realized the four employees were not
working at the same time; however, they were all four on the
payroll.)
MOTION by Commissioner Fortner to reclassify a houseparent at
the youth home to houseparent/administrative assistant with a
salary range of $21,552-$30,168 - Grade 63.
VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 1 (Boone).
DISCUSSION OF FINAL AGREEMENT WITH POLAR PLASTICS (TRAINING
AND EDUCATIONAL FUNDS: The county manager mentioned the major
difference in this agreement and the resolution passed in August,
1996 is that there is a provision that would allow for increased
benefit if the corporation added tax base in excess of the $25
million. The original resolution capped it at $25 million with a
