latest edition, for unresolved procedural questions.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES - FEBRUARY 16, 1993 MEETING: The board
discussed the item of business on the February 16, 1993 agenda,
pertaining the purchase of the file cabinets for the Clerk of
Court's Office. Two motions were involved: The approval of Budget
Amendment $26 to transfer $23,800 from Contingency to Capital
Appropriation for the Clerk's Office, and the award of a bid to J.
E. Pope in the amount of $23,139. The board's voting on the motion
was contingent upon the County receiving the existing file cabinets
to be used in other County offices.
After the meeting, the county manager was informed by the
State that the State would not give the file cabinets to the
County. They would sell the cabinets to them. Since this was a
contingency of the motion, the purchase of these cabinets was held
up until the board had been notified of the change in conditions.
PROCEDURAL MOTION from Commissioner Madison to reconsider the
action that was taken in relation to purchasing the automatic
filing system for the clerk of court's office.
VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 1 (Hamby).
MOTION from Commissioner Madison to relay this back to the
State since they are the ones to provide the equipment for the
Clerk of Court's office. The board has made a good will gesture
stating that the County would help out there, but they have not
seen fit to accept our offer, and we need to relay the whole issue
back to them and ask them to correct their problem. We have a
valid bid as to how they can correct their problems with a nominal
amount of investment. The County does not need to add square
footage, we just need to make that more efficient.
FURTHER to rescind the MOTION for the Budget Amendment #26 and
to rescind the award of the bid for the filing cabinet to the J. E.
Pope Company.
VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 1 (Hamby).
Commissioner Stewart brought up the discussion of the three
positions in Child Protective Services that were not approved by
the board at the February 16th meeting. She inquired about the
board's decision to table since she was not present.
Commissioner Madison said there was discussion that the State
was planning to make some appropriations available for Child
Protective Services, and the board's intent was to wait until the
County could see what the State was going to do about some of these
positions.
Commissioner Stewart said the State was not planning to do
very much in regard to the Child Protective Services.
MOTION from Commissioner Madison to approve the minutes of
February 16, 1993 meeting.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
BUDGET AMENDMENT /31 - RECREATION DEPARTMENT: Mr. Mashburn
discussed this amendment with the board. The recreation department
has operated day camps in the summer. These are the Camp Iredell
program and Adventure Camp. The budget for 92-93 only covers one-
half year's funding, with the idea that the staff would evaluate
the camps at the end of the summer season and make a recommendation
to the board if it is felt the expenditure was justified. The
