SOUTHERN PIEDMONT HEALTH SYSTEMS AGENCY - APPOINTMENT: SPHSA has notified the county manager
that a vacancy is occurring on the captioned board. Mrs. Nell Dickerson's terms expires in October
1985, and one consumer representative will need to be appointed to this board for a three-year term.
This appointment should be reported to SPHSA by October 17, 1985.
After a discussion, the board delayed appointment until the September 10th meeting.
LIABILITY INSURANCE: The county manager, Mr. Wayne Deal, reported to the board that the
liability insurance has been dropped. He has found a carrier that would provide $5 million in
liability insurance at an annual premium of $26,000. Mr. Deal said in operations like the landfill,
ambulance service, and sheriff's department, one accident could put the county in a situation where
a $5 million policy would be needed. The county manager recommended that the board continue this
coverage he has bound temporarily.
Liability insurance is prorated in each department's budget. A budget amendment for this
insurance could be made at a later time, Mr. Furches said. Some departments may have enough funds
in their budgets to take care of their shares.
MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to obtain the umbrella (liability) insurance that is bound now and
covert it to a policy for full coverage.
VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 0.
TELEPHONE SERVICE, PBX VERSUS SWITCH SYSTEM: Mr. Deal, county manager,said he had discussed
with Mr. David Bailey of Centralina Council of Governments the PBX system versus the switch system
for the county. Mr. Deal said the PBX offers some advantages and that the key (switch) system
offers some advantages. The PBX offers more management tools, but the switch system offers quicker
installation and is easier to use. He said the board needed to make a decision, and his recommenda-
tion is to authorize Mr. Bailey to proceed with the telephone system for the county, using the
switch system. That method would allow the county to do something quicker in the sheriff's
department. This is the same cost originally proposed by Mr. Bailey, which will be a big saving
over what is now being paid.
MOTION from Commissioner Stewart to authorize the county manager to seek bids on the telephone
system using the key (switch) system, with special emphasis on the sheriff's department.

be observed in all the county offices.

further.
