APPOINTMENTS BEFORE THE BOARD
MR. J.C. BYERS ON BEHALF OF THE BIG BROTRERS/BIG SISTERS
PROGRAM: Byers mentioned he approached the board of commissioners
in 1993 for assistance in paying off the building used by BB/BS and
that $5,000 had been given yearly since then. (The building was
paid off in August of 1995.) Byers said he was now asking the
commissioners to fund his program for another three years at $5,000
a year, because the BB/BS building (621 West Front St.) needs some
renovations. Brooks Builders has given a cost estimate of $19,850
for the repair work. A local bank has agreed to prepare a loan
with balloon payments.
The county manager said the present board of commissioners
could not bind another board -- as far as yearly appropriations;
however, the commissioners could adopt this as their intent.
MOTION by Commissioner Fortner to continue with the funding of
Big Brothers/Big Sisters at $5,000 annually for the next three
budget years (1998-99, 1999-00, and 2000-01).
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
