conditioner at the Hall of Justice?"
Mrs. Blumenstein responded that the project has not been bid
out at the present time. Mr. Madison reminded everyone that the
weather is getting warmer, and the documents will suffer from the
virus destroying the documents because of insufficient cooling.
Commissioner Stewart: "Does the County pay for the Register
of Deeds to have a membership in the Chamber of Commerce?"
Mrs. Blumenstein will check on this matter.
490 PLANNING DEPT: Changes recommended in this department are
to transfer $2,500 from salaries & wages/part-time to contracted
services to be used for preparation of watershed regulations.
Road sign maintenance has been transferred to the 911 budget.
491 NAPPING: Mr. Lundy advised that the only increase in this
department was for GIS. The amount of $6,480 included for
maintenance & repair (equipment) was transferred to contracted
services.
492 INSPECTIONS: By recommendation of the county manager,
$11,000 has been deleted from capital outlay. This amount was
originally requested for inspection modules.
Commissioner Madison: "The computerized modules make
inspections so much more accurate. We have an efficient
inspections service going on now, and we need to keep it that way."
Mr. Mashburn indicated that it might be worthwhile to check a
couple of the modules out in law enforcement as well as
inspections.
Commissioner Boone made a comment that this department has 16
employees and 21 telephone lines.
495 1=I1CMMNG& The county manager advised that the engineer
is currently involved with recycling and that at sometime in the
future this effort would need to be "weeded" out of this dept. The
amount of $4,700 has been requested for a computer and
hardware/software.
Commissioner Boone: "I don't see why we should be spending
$10,000 on recycling education material."
Commissioner Stewart: "This is a county engineer and with the
salary we are paying him I would think he has enough to do without
working on recycling. It was my understanding that the engineer
would stay abreast of all school construction projects. Has the
engineer attended any of the school construction meetings at East?"
Mr. Mashburn responded that the landfill consumes a great deal of
time. The county engineer has attended some school construction
meetings, and most of the problems occuring at East have been
written about in the newspaper.
Commissioner Stewart: "I think the board needs to be briefed
pertaining to the status of school construction projects."
Mr. Mashburn stated he would have Mr. Fisher check on the East
School project.
X00 TN�7 ,, Mr. Mashburn advised that freeing up the
current maintenance bldg. would provide storage for the bookmobile
and increase space for the library. We are looking at major
renovations to the landfill building. Mr. Lundy advised that the
majority of the ADA modification expenses were included in this
budget.
Commissioner Boone: "I have no problem with carpet in the
halls, but I question carpet in the offices. I suppose the dust
collection system for the wood working shop is required by OSHA.
Also, what about this $5,500 for the sign in this dept." Mr. Lundy
