CABARRUS COUNTY <br /> Post Office Box <br /> <br /> CONCORD. NORTH CAROl,INA 28025 <br /> <br />TO: Charles McGinnis/County Manager P1 i~'y~g <br />FROM: W. S. Chandler, Jr./Director of ann <br /> <br />RE: Van Truck for Sign Installation/Maintenance <br />DATE: May 22, 1979 <br /> <br />Pursuant to our conversation as concerns the need for an <br />enclosed van type vehicle for~use in street sign installation/ <br />maintenance, I enclose the following information. <br /> <br />The presemt sign installation/maintenance program utilizes <br />the County owned Dodge pick-up.
