allowed to provide medical services to county employees. As a
matter of fact, Lotti felt that all three hospitals in the County
should be given the opportunity.
The county manager advised that a meeting had been held with
Mr. Lotti recently, and that Sedgwick James (Administrator for
NCACC Trust Fund) and Blue Cross Blue Shield (Administrator for
Iredell County) had both been advised of this request. Mashburn
mentioned it would certainly be easier to advise employees they
could seek medical assistance from any of the three hospitals in
the County. Mashburn added, that for the past four years, the
County had not increased its premium cost for employees.
ENFORCEMENT BUILDING BEATING UPDATE: Evie Caldwell advised
that several individuals/companies had been contacted about the
possibility of selling used or discontinued furniture. Caldwell
and Chief Captain Rodney Proctor, of the Sheriff's Dept., visited
the Catawba County DSS Office recently about some surplus chairs
that were available. Catawba was replacing the Social Service
chairs (about eight years old, but in fairly good condition) with
more ergonomic (OSHA approved) ones.
Commissioner Madison asked the difference in the old chairs
compared to the new ones. Caldwell responded that the new ones
were more adjustable. Proctor said Catawba County had several
carpal tunnel syndrome cases and, consequently, chose to replace
the chairs.
Commissioner Boone mentioned that the staff in Catawba was
using the chairs all day long, whereas if purchased and used at the
Enforcement Center, the staff would be in and out of the building
during the day. Boone expressed his concern about the cost of the
lateral files at the enforcement building. Proctor mentioned that
space was at a premium in the new building, and the staff was
trying to utilize all areas as effectively as possible.
