INTO A 36 -MONTH LEASE AGREEMENT WITH COTT SYSTEMS FOR COMPUTER
UPGRADES AND A REQUEST FOR THE TRANSFER OF $3,000 FROM CAPITAL
OUTLAY INTO THE OVERTIME SALARY ACCOUNT: Brenda Bell, the Register of Deeds,
described the Cott Systems lease. She said it would be for 36 months with 10% interest at $1,119
per month.
In reference to the need for overtime funds, Bell said her office was experiencing a high
increase in paperwork. A large portion of this has been due to sonic of the recent home
refinancings, etc. Bell said the extra $3,000 might help through the end of 1998, but site might have
to make a similar request in early 1999.
REQUEST FROM DSS FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF SEVEN (7) CHILD
PROTECTIVE SERVICES (CPS) SOCIAL WORKER III POSITIONS: Don Wall, the DSS
Director, said he currently had a total of 55 social work positions and seven more were needed in
the CPS unit. In a prior meeting, Wall proposed different methods for providing the funds. He had
discussed the possibility of sacrificing an imaging system or scaling it down. At this meeting, Wall
recommended the establishment of the positions and leaving the imaging system intact. A total of
$115,752 would be needed in county funds. Mr. Wall said $104,624 was available in lapsed
salaries (3 months). He also said the remainder of funds ($11,128) would probably be available
in January. (This would also be in lapsed salary funds). Wall said he hoped to hire four new social
workers in November and three in January of 1999.
Mr. Wall said Iredell County had been chosen as an "electing county" in the Welfare Reform
Plan, and this status would eventually bring in an additional $640,000.
