expenses in the amount of $3,125.

660 GENERAL GOVERNMENT: Mr. Mashburn stated that $10,000 had been
recommended for overtime. There are times it creates more of a
problem to provide comp time then to pay overtime. Currently,
departments must write a letter justifying overtime. The sheriff's
department; however, is an exception since its hard to control time
spent on investigations, etc.
Commissioner Hamby asked about the $1,200 for maintenance and
repairs for buildings and grounds. Blumenstein said this was for
the rental of the City Hall Building.
Commissioner Stewart asked about annual fees for credit cards.
Blumenstein said this was a part of the banking service contract.
When the contract is renegotiated a look at any annual fees will be
discussed.
661 SPECIAL APPROPRIATIONS: Commissioner Boone asked about Tri -
County Mental Health's appropriation. Commissioner Haire stated
that of the three counties that participate, Iredell pays the less.
Davie pays the most per capita. Mr. Mashburn said that the
recommended amount is five percent above last year's appropriation.
N.C. Forestry Service: This budget has been increased due to the
need for new vehicles.
Third Creek Watershed There is a real concern about the integrity
of the dams. Some inspection has shown the need for repairs.
Fifth Street Shelter• Commissioner Madison asked about the $3,000
increase. Blumenstein stated this was for a 29% increased usage in
the emergency shelter and a 108 increase in usage at the Soup
Kitchen. Commissioner Boone said he felt the County should start
trying to hold the line on some of the funding to some of the
requests of these organizations.
Foster Parents Association: Commissioner Stewart stated this
organization would probably be approaching the county for funds in
the amount of $1,500 for a start-up grant.
Carolinas Counties Coalition: MOTION by Commissioner Stewart to
delete the Carolinas Counties Coalition funding.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
FAMILY VI LFNCE PREVENTION• Commissioner Hamby stated some of this
agency's funds had been cut. The county manager said that the
reason that not all the requested funds were recommended is because
counseling of this same type is available at Tri -County MHC. Hamby
said that Family Violence uses contracted counselors.
Commissioner Stewart said she didn't feel that just because the
State was pulling out that the county should pick up its part.
Hamby said the State was directing its money to shelters which is
after abuse has occurred. Family Violence tries to prevent the
abuse from actually occurring.
662 CONTRIBUTIONS TO OTHER FUNDS: No changes.
