DISCUSSION AND/OR APPROVAL OF CONTRACT FOR IREDELL
TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY (VOCATIONAL WORKSHOP LEAD AGENCY) AND
SOCIAL SERVICES: Don Wall, the DSS Director, said the referenced contract had been
approved by the Board of Social Services. Wall said the county should not have to supply more
than five percent of the transportation program's costs. The money will be taken out of the salary
line item since DSS will no longer need to hire drivers. Overall, Wall said the program should save
the county money. Wall also said he would wait about three months to amend the DSS budget.
Ben Garrison, the Vocational Workshop Director, said the consolidated transportation
program started July 6, 1998. About 15 fixed routes have been identified. A status report will be
issued by Garrison in three months.
