tion and review. Mrs. Troutman said they have 636 people already signed up, and
they have some forms that have not been mailed to people who want to get to the
board. The staff anticipates they can complete a parcel before the board of equali-
zation and review in 10 to 15 minutes.
LEASE EXTENSION AGREEMENT - PROBATION OFFICES: Mr. Deal, county manager,
reported that the lease for the probation office located at 248 Davie Avenue

the board to negotiate from month to month until a firm agreement can be reached.

RIGHT OF WAY - STRAIGHTENING OF 14URDOCK ROAD: The county manager, Mr. Deal,
presented a proposal to the board for the right-of-way for straightening of
Murdock Road, which would require property from Iredell County. In the relocating,
a 20' wide strip of property will be left on the Berhardt side of the new road.
He recommended that the board consider deeding this property to the state as a
right of way, thereby giving Bernhardt Industries access to the state right of way.
In discussing the matter, Commissioner Ostwalt brought to the attention of
the board that he had been in touch with a Kiwanis member, and the Kiwanis were
asking that they be given access to the fairgrounds from the proposed new road.
After a discussion, it was recommended by Commissioner Mills that this
matter be kept open and a decision be made at a later date.
INSPECTION REPORT: The board accepted the inspections report for the month
of January.
DAY CARE SERVICES FOR THREE ADULTS - SOCIAL SERVICES: Mr. Deal reported
that an additional request had been received from social services that was overlooked
earlier in the meeting.
It has been requested thatthe county purchase day care services for three
additional handicapped adults, effective January 1, 1984. The cost of providing
these services for six months, or until the end of the current fiscal year, will
be $4,212. Of this amount the state's share is $3,686, and the county's share
is $527. Mr. Wall, social services director, said he had ample funds in his
budget to take care of this cost.
In considering this request, it was pointed out that an alternative to the
county financing is that the Iredell County Day Care Center for Handicapped
Persons, Inc., has indicated a willingness to pay the county share if the board
does not approve the county participation.
Commissioner Ostwalt expressed a desire to see how the Day Care Center for
the Handicapped Persons would handle the situation, and the board took no action.
