SOCIAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT - DIRECT MAIL ISSUANCE OF FOOD STAMPS: Mr. Deal said during the
discussion of the Social Services budget, the board discussed the direct mail service contract.
Mr. Deal has spoken with Mr. Wall about the company that provides this service. The company has
asked for an increase in their contract amount. They would be willing to continue for another month
to give time to get the problem resolved.
It was brought out that the Social Services Department could not go back to the post office for
this issuance once it was taken from the post office. The only other agency that performs this
service is going out of business. It was stated that even if the service could be returned to the
post office, it would cost four or five times as much as is presently paid for the service.
Mr. Deal said he recommended that the board authorize one month extension of the contract with
Cost Containment. After that thirty days, the county will have to negotiate a new contract.
MOTION from Commissioner Stewart to grant a 30 -day extension of the contract with Cost Contain-
ment at the current price.''
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
DISCUSSION OF TAX RATES: Commissioners Ostwalt and Stewart said they were in favor of a 43 -
cent tax rate.
MOTION from Commissioner Stewart to reduce the $800,000 School Consolidation Fund to $500,000,
leave the Water and Sewer Fund as it is so that the board can go on with the Water -Sewer Study. At
the same time, the board would be able to put back these items that Mr. Deal has suggested elimina-
ting from the budget, and give a 43t tax rate.
In summarizing, this was stated:
(1) School Consolidation Fund $500,000
(2) Water -Sewer Fund $500,000
(3) Restore cuts
Commission Stewart said the County has reached a point in the Water -Sewer Study that the next
point would be the engineering survey for a bond referendum. The $25,000 has already been appro-
priated from the Senate Bill #2 money. It it is not used for this survey, it would be lost.
Commissioner Murdock inquired when was the projected date for holding the water -sewer bond
referendum. Commissioner Crosswhite said during the General Election in the fail.
