362 forth the responsibilities and working arrangements for maintaining a continuing, comprehensive, and cooperative transportation planning process; NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF THE COUNTY OF CABARRUS, NORTH CAROLINA, That the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Kannapolis, City of Concord, Town of China Grove, Town of Landis, Town of Harrisburg, Cabarrus County, Rowan County, and North Carolina Department of Transportation, AGREEMENT NO. 2-01-95, be approved and that the Chairman of the Board of Commissioners and the Clerk of Cabarrus County are hereby directed to execute the Memorandum of Understanding. Recommended Changes by the Parks and Recreation Commission in the State's Regulations for Limited Food Service Establishments Dr. William F. Pilkington, Health Director, and Mr. Steve Little, Parks and Recreation Director, reviewed the new Limited Food Service Establishment requirements and their impact on volunteer athletic leagues and public park concession operations. Specifically, the requirement that prohibits the operation of these establishments beyond 60 days per year will be difficult to meet since many concession stands are shared by two or more non-profit groups during the year. In addition, most concession stands are open only during evenings and weekends, thus requiring inspections by public health staff outside regular business hours. The Parks and Recreation Commission voted at its meeting on March 2 to request the Board to seek changes in the present regulations for Limited Food Service Establishments. UPON MOTION of Chairman Barnhart, seconded by Commissioner Fennel and unanimously carried, the Board approved the recommendations for the following changes to the Limited Food Service Establishments regulations as submitted by the Parks and Recreation Commission and voted to send copies of these recommended changes to the local legislative delegation as well as to other boards of county commissioners across the state. (1) (2) Limited Food Establishment Law should have less restrictive guidelines. Recommended to change the Regulations for a Limited Food Establishment for any facilities who serve more than 120 days per year instead of the present 60 days. Request to Waive Hiring Freeze for Specific Vacant Positions Mr. Don Moorhead, Personnel Officer, presented the request to waive the hiring freeze for the following two positions: (1) Sheriff Department (Jail) - Food Service Supervisor; and (2) Health Department Public Health Nurse II (School Health Nurse). UPON MOTION of Commissioner Fennel, seconded by Commissioner Niblock and unanimously carried, the Board agreed to waive the hiring freeze for the following position: Sheriff Department (Jail) - Food Service Supervisor (21-310- 101-24).

After discussion by Board members and Dr. Pilkington regarding the need to fill the position at this time, the motion and second were withdrawn.
