the title of this ordinance was a misnomer, and he requested that thepublic hearing
be continued until April 19th meeting, giving time for the Planning staff to make
the needed corrections. The chairman continued the public hearing until April 19th.

permission to address the board regarding the county's planning and inspections
department. Mr. Hollifield has been involved in the hearings before the Iredell
County Board of Appeals regarding the Romac Metals Company building inspections.
He criticized the planning and inspections office in several areas. He asked the
county commissioners to investigate by whatever means they see fit the zoning and
planning department.
Chairman Troutman told Mr. Hollifield that he admired his tenacity in pursuing
the matter of the Romac Company, realizing that he had very deep feelings about it.
Mr. Troutman made several other comments and thanked Mr. Hollifield for his interest. �..�
BOARD OF ELECTIONS - REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL VOTE TABULATOR MACHINES: Jim j
Dobson, chairman of the board of elections, and the other members of this board
presented a request for additional vote tabulating machines. Mr. Dobson said
these machines are presently available from a particular company at a substantial
saving. These additional machines would be used for back-ups for our existing
equipment. In addition to the new tabulating machines, two more boxes (used for
holding ballots) were requested. The reason the reauest was being made at this
time rather than waiting until budget time, Dobson said, was because a consider-
able savings could be realized from purchasing now.
After a discussion with the board, MOTION was made from Commissioner Ostwalt
to purchase six vote tabulator machines and two boxes for the price of $13,470,
and these funds would come from Contingency. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Noes - 0.
