REGISTER OF DEEDSS Mrs. Brenda Bell was present to discuss
her budget. She has six full-time positions and one half time
person. She is requesting one additional full time person, which

Commissioner Madison said he visited a lot of the Register of
Deeds' offices in his business and thought Iredell County had a

made in his budget when he met with the county manager. The two
new positions he is requesting is the case manager in Preventive

The medical assistant position would allow the tranfer of

their budgets.

They are able to have clinics inside the health building.
