MINUTES OF F~BRUAR¥ 5 <br /> <br />Request to Appropriate Funds to Purchase Library Materials for the Mt. Pleasant <br />Library <br /> <br /> Mr. Tom Dillard requested $83,209.00 in County funds to purchase library <br />materials for the new Mt. Pleasant Library. He reported that the City of Concord <br />had agreed to transfer a one-time Special Public Library Grant of $16,791.00 to <br />Cabarrus County to be applied to the Mt. Pleasant Library Project. These funds <br />totaling $100,000.00 will be used to purchase the "opening day" collection for <br />the Library. <br /> <br /> Mr. Ralph Austin thanked the Board for its support of $100,000.00 to <br />purchase books for the Mt. Pleasant Library. He reported that donations and <br />pledges of over $305,000.00 had been received toward the estimated construction <br />cost of $325,000.00. Mr. Austin expressed concern about the proposed use of the <br />$16,791.00 and suggested that these funds could be used to help pay for such <br />items as fixtures, signs and landscaping. In conclusion, he requested the Board <br />to ask the County Manager and Finance Director to study the use of the grant <br />funds and to make a recommendation to the Board at its next meeting. <br /> <br /> The motion by Commissioner Mills, seconded by Commissioner Fennel, to <br />appropriate $83,209.00 to purchase library materials for the Mt. Pleasant Library <br />was withdrawn after discussion. <br /> <br /> The motion by Commissioner Mills and seconded by Commissioner Casper to <br />increase the County appropriation from $83,209.00 to $100,000.00 for the purchase <br />of library materials for the Mt. Pleasant Library failed with Commissioners Mills <br />and Casper voting for and Chairman Barnhart and Commissioners Fennel and Niblock <br />voting against. <br /> <br /> UPON MOTION of Commissioner Fennel, seconded by Chairman Barnhart and <br />unanimously carried, the Board adopted the following budget amendment <br />appropriating $83,209.00 in County funds and $16,791.00 in State grant funds for <br />purchase of library materials for the Mt.
