HomeMy WebLinkAboutC.054.93009_1265Bill Griffith mentioned the health department had two lap -top
computers. Commissioner Johnson asked if employees used them for
personal use. Griffith said the computers had to be checked out
through a formal procedure. They are not released until the actual
day of a clinic.
(Note: At the May 30th meeting, Blumenstein mentioned she
would add the Breast & Cervical Cancer Control Program grant which
will make a $4860 difference in the total for the health budget.)
616 -social Services: Commissioner Stewart and Don Wall, DSS
Director, both indicated that this budget was one of the "leanest"
in recent years.
Commissioner Boone asked when Medicaid would ever stop
increasing. Mr. Wall said it probably would when it was block
granted.
705 -Recreation: The county manager mentioned that the Ropes Course
lease was not being renewed by the Allison family. When asked why,
Mr. Mashburn said the owners just indicated the liability seemed to
be the greatest reason. Mr. Mashburn mentioned that the current
building is very small. There is an increasing need for storage
space. Parking becomes a problem when participants sign up for
programs. This year ends the five year appropriation of $35,500 to
the capital reserve fund.
Commissioner Johnson said that the Recreation Advisory
Committee (RAC) contended that the fields were not being
maintained. They would like the $35,000 put back in with a match.
Johnson mentioned that Duke Power had offered a site at Stumpy
Creek for $1 per year. In addition, Johnson stated that at the
last meeting of RAC it voted to move the Ropes Course to Bluefield
Road. The committee would like to lease Stumpy Creek and put a
passive park at Bluefield Road.
Commissioner Boone asked about the budgeted amount for part-
time salaries. Mr. Mashburn mentioned there were more teams and
the salaries are based on the number of teams.
Commissioner Madison mentioned that the Ropes Course only
brought in around $5,000 per year. The course is expensive to
maintain with little in revenue.
MOTION by Commissioner Johnson to put $25,000 back into the
Capital Reserve Parks Fund for the next three years.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
Commissioner Madison stressed that RAC needed to come up with
a plan for the parks.
MOTION by Chairman Haire to adjourn the meeting at 6:30 p.m.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
