be reduced. He stated that other counties have found this to be
very cost effective.
The county manager added that the COG agreement was to work
with the TDP Steering Committee to set up a nonprofit corporation
and to set up by-laws. COG has offered to do this by utilizing 40
pre -paid hours that are available to the County for this fiscal
year. There will not be any additional outlay of costs.
Commissioner Stewart asked about the DSS vans for human
services.
Mr. Garrison stated this differs in counties. For instance,
Rowan County DSS has opted not to be a part of this arrangement,
however, for some of their long-distance hauling they could opt to
utilize the nonprofit corporation. The Jobs Program receives funds
to operate their own vans.
Commissioner Stewart asked if the nonprofit organization would
use the vans already in use by departments e.g., DSS vans.
Mr. Garrison said that currently there are eight vehicles
purchased through the Section 16B money. DSS has one of these
vans, but it is actually titled to the Iredell Vocational Workshop
and the State. The vans would be turned over to the nonprofit
corporation.
The county manager said that after the vehicles are turned
over to the nonprofit corporation they would contract with private
vendors to operate and maintain the vehicles. The corporation
would retain ownership of the vehicles.
