V,
Commissioner Madison inquired if Mr. Corbett would like to
respond to that. (Mr. Corbett's response was inaudible because
he did not come to the microphone.) Mr. Nunnery said he would like
to add that there are people in the room and maybe people up there
that know that is not the case. He said he would also like to add
that self -pay and Medicaid was a combination he had not heard
before. Self -pay is people that don't have the ability to pay.
Medicaid is patients that federal, state and county governments
help pay for. Mr. Nunnery said he did not come to get into a
debate with Jeff Corbett.
Mr. Corbett made other comments which were inaudible because
he was not speaking into the microphone.
Chairman Haire thanked the two hospital representatives.
Mr. Pope said the procedure in G.S. 160A-279 is the procedure
that is in 160A-267, which is the procedure governing private
sales. That procedure requires you to adopt a resolution
authorizing an appropriate county official to dispose of the
property at whatever price and the resolution must identify the
property to be sold and a summary of the resolution must be
published in the newspaper at least once after it has been adopted,
and no sale may be consummated until at least ten days after it is
published in the newspaper. The board could adopt a resolution
tonight, and the sale would not be effective until the resolution
has been published in the newspaper for at least ten days.
Chairman Haire asked for further comments.
