one (1) Social Work Supervisor III Position and three (3) Social Worker III Positions.

department already being overcrowded. Stewart said the employees would have to double up.
Wall said the CPS workers would be housed at the Hwy. 21 site. He said some of the
employees would have to double up. Mr. Wall also mentioned there would be a request for more

REQUEST FROM DSS FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF ONE (l) SOCIAL WORK
SUPERVISOR II POSITION AND ONE (1) SOCIAL WORK I POSITION (GUILD DAY
CARE SERVICES PROGRAM): Wall said his agency was due to receive $38,589 in Day Care
Services' funds from the Iredell County Partnership for Children. Wall continued by saying that
Smart Start, by law, had to allocate 30% of its money for subsidy. He said the money would be on-
going. Wall said a revised funding authorization had been received for Child Care Subsidy and
Services' Support for 1998-99. The total Child Day Care allocation for 98-99 for Direct Services
is $2,693,184 and $144,009 for Services Support.
Commissioner Fortner asked Wall what would happen if the Smart Start funds were
discontinued. Wall said he would probably return to the commissioners if the spending pattern and
number of children served were the same and funds were needed.

REQUEST FROM SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT FOR PERMISSION TO APPLY
FOR A GRANT FROM THE GOVERNOR'S CRIME COMMISSION: Lt. Mike Hager, of the
sheriff's dept., said the grant funds were specifically earmarked for mobile data terminals. The
terminals will allow direct access to computers in Raleigh for criminal activity checking. The per
unit cost is $8,683 and Iredell County qualifies for 12 units. The total amount (includes tax and an
operating cost to access DCI) is $112,751.76. There is a 25% match of $28,187.94, and this can be
derived from drug seizure funds. The sheriff's office would then be applying for $84,563.82 in
grant money.
