UPON MOTION of Commissioner Nash, seconded by Commissioner Cook and unanimously carried, the Board agreed for Cabarrus County to be the lead planning agency for the Three-C Transportation Planning Process. Mr. Charles McGinnis, County Manager, presented a letter to each m~mber of the Board from Mr. Jack W. Turpin, District Manager of the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States, regarding that company's unsuccessful attempt to be awarded a contract to provide a Deferred Compensation Plan to the employees of Cabarrus County. The Board received the letter as information and no action was taken. Mr. Charles McGinnis informed the Board that participants of the Cabarrus Workshop had extended an invitation to the Board to have lunch with them and to tour their facilities. The Board set June 1, 1981, as the date for the Board to visit the Cabarrus Workshop. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Cook, seconded by Commissioner Lentz and unanimously carried, the Board authorized the County Manager and Chairman Ralph Bonds to w~ite to the County's representatives expressing the Board's support of or opposition to the following legislative bills as outlined by the County Manager. - Support of House Bill 408 to increase the judicial facilities fee paid to County by 50 percent. - Support of the bill to increase the civil process fee charged by the Sheriff's Department for serving civil processes from $3.00 to $10.00. - Oppose Senate Bill 462 which would require a minimum of one deputy sheriff per 1,000 persons in each County. - Oppose Senate Bill 220 which would require Counties to waive part of governmental immunity to extent of $100,000 per person to a minimum of $300,000 per single occurrence for wrongful death, bodily injury or property damage. - Oppose House Bill 173 which would require all social workers to be licensed and would create a State board to oversee the licensing.
