Mr. James L. Pharr, Fire Marshal, appeared on behalf of the Cabarrus County Firemen's Association to ask that eight (8) acres of County-owned property be set aside near the Health Department to build a training facility for the approximately 500 firemen in Cabarrus County. The proposed training facility would include a drill center, burn pits, a pumper test pit, and classroom facilities. Mr. Pharr reported that once land is obtained, the Firemen's Association plans to conduct fund raising drives and ask for donations of materials and talents to 6onstruct the training facility. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Nash, seconded by Commissioner Lentz and unanimously carried, the Board deferred the matter until answers are obtained to the questions relating to the Duke Power right-of-way located across the property, the legal description of the property committed to the Health Department, the plans of the City of Concord for a training facility for fire service personnel, and the financing of the fire training facility. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Lentz, seconded by Commissioner Payne and unanimously carried, the Board appointed Mr. Eric Richards as the Youth Representative on the Cabarrus County Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission for a one-year term. Mr. Charles McGinnis, County Manager, reported he had met with the County's insurance underwriter this date regarding health insurance benefits for retired County employees. He stated that he had been informed that retired employees under the age of 65 may remain under the County's group coverage at the same premium rate as active employees and that employees age 65 and older may obtain identical coverage directly from the insurance company as an individual or through the County at the same rate of $31.95 per month. Mr. McGinnis advised the Board that retired employees ranging from the ages of 62 to 65 would affect the County's experience modification because these claims would be charged to the County's group coverage but that retired employees 65 and older would not affect the experience modi- fication as they would be charged to the regular non-group coverage provided by the insurance company. Chief Robert L. Ketchie of the Kannapolis Police Department stated that hospitalization insurance benefits for retired County employees would provide an incentive for law enforcement officers to remain with the County. UPON MOTION of Commissioner~Nash, seconded by Commissioner Payne and unanimously carried, the Board deferred the matter of health insurance for retired County employees until the Board receives written clarification from the insurance company regarding the cost of insurance for the retired employees. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Payne, seconded by Commissioner Cook and unanimously carried, the Board moved to award the following service side arms at a cost of $1.00 each to the retiring law enforcement officers.
