He stated the mailing was done to verify addresses and to acquire telephone numbers for the update of the County's registration files. He further stated it had been his understanding from a telephone conversation with Mr. Charles D. McGinnis, County Manager, that funds were available in the Elections budget to cover the cost of the City of Concord mailing and that a budget amendment would be required before the Board of Elections could proceed with its plan to do a mailing for the entire county. Mr. Kiser also advised the Board that the City of Concord was not notified by the Board of Elections prior to the mailing. Mr. Charles D. McGinnis, County Manager, reviewed the policy whereby the County pays the cost of municipal elections and then bills the municipalities for reimbursement. He stated he had explained the reimbursement process to Mr. Kiser and advised him there was no money budgeted for this purpose but that the mailing for the City of Concord could be done if the City approved the cost and reimbursed the County for the mailing. Mr. McGinnis reported that the City of Concord had refused to reimburse the County for expenses of the mailing.

Kiser for the good of the citizens of Cabarrus County and both political parties failed for lack of second.
