RECREATION DEPARTMENT - SLIDE PRESENTATION ON USE OF COUNTY GRANT FUNDS: Mr. Jim Wall, recrea-
tion director, presented slides showing the use of the County's Matching Grant Funds at the various
schools. He showed projects at Brawley, Mt. Mourne, Shepherd, East Iredell, South Iredell, Trout-
man, Celeste Henkel, West Iredell, Monticello, Scotts, Central, North Iredell, Union Grove, Harmony,
and Ebenezer. He said the recreation advisory board recommended that he make this presentation to
the county commissioners.
TAX COLLECTION REPORT - JULY 1986: The county manager recommended to the board the acceptance
of this July 1986 Tax Collection Report.
.4 discussion was held on the lateness of mailing the 1986 tax bills. Mr. Deal explained that
the County had entered into a contract with the W. P. Ferris Company for a computerized tax collec-
tion and billing system. He said the program had "bugs" in it, and documentation on the program was
never given the County by the W. P. Ferris Company. A group of three county managers who have had
similar problems with the W. P. Ferris Company was getting together to make a joint contact in
writing to the Ferris Company, specifically requesting a step-by-step method for use of the collec-
tion program.
Other problems are also being experienced. Because of the new method of bank collection,
machine readable bills are necessary to make the collection system work a lot faster. The staff has
had trouble getting quality printing that the equipment can read. A special ribbon is now being
used, and Hewlett Packard has made another adjustment on the computer. Mr. Deal said he would
continue to keep the board updated.

tion, etc.) in the area that is to be excavated for laying pipe.

in the best interest to bid the service in order to get a better, more efficient service.
