Request for Approval of an HVAC Maintenance Contract for the New
Library: Purchasing Agent Dean Lail said a maintenance contract for the new
library's heating/ventilation/air conditioning system had been supplied by York
International. He said the three-year contract would cost $12,420 during the first year,
$19,176 for the second year, and $19,176 for the third year.
Commissioner Norman asked what the services would be for the first year.
Lail said the system was under warranty; however, maintenance was not
covered. He said the service would be for items such as "greasing the ball bearings."
County Manager Mashburn asked how the pricing compared to some of the
other service contracts.
Lail said Air Mastcrs provided service at the government center at $1,000 a
month, and the monthly charge for the Hall of Justice was around $1,700.
Commissioner Norman expressed concerns about the cost, he suggested that the
staff acquire more information for comparison.
Commissioner Johnson suggested the possibility of hiring someone to provide
the service (clean air filters and coils, etc.) on all of the county buildings.
Lail said that even though the service was considered low maintenance, anyone
hired would still have to be certified.
Mashburn added that if one person was designated to perform the work, he
didn't know who would be responsible for the maintenance if something happened to
that one individual.

to Exempt from Property Tax the Increase in Value of Real Property Held for Sale
by a Builder, to the Extent the Increase Attributable to Subdivision or
Improvements by the Builder:" Tax Administrator Bill Doolittle briefed the board on
legislation sponsored by North Carolina Senators Dalton, Brown, Hartsell, Hoyle, Hunt,
Swindell, and Weinstein. Doolittle said SB 508 would have a negative impact on the

It was the consensus of the board to allow Mr. Doolittle to draft a letter in
opposition to the proposed bill and to have Chairman Tice sign it. The letter will then
be sent to the county's legislative delegation.
ADJOURNMENT: Chairman Tice adjourned the briefing at 6:30 p.m.
