542 Revenue 01-6-58-34-532 WIC Program $61,018.00 $1,076.05 $62,094.05 PURPOSE OF BUDGET REVISION REQUEST: To increase funds to match county budget with state budget appropriation. No County funds are involved, 100% State and Federal money. Mr. Thomas B. Robinson, Planning Director, reviewed the County's current policy to pay the cost of installing street signs in new subdivisions. He explained this practice was instituted several years ago because there was a backlog of grandfathered subdivisions that were being processed and the County felt it should bear the expense of installing signs in these subdivisions. Stating that this work had been completed, Mr. Robinson recommended that the Board reconsider the policy on street sign installation whereby the subdivider would bear the cost of installing the first street sign'with the County providing maintenance thereafter. He also pointed out that all street signs would have to conform to the County standards. In addition, Mr. Robinson recommended that the Board consider entering into an agreement with the City of Kannapolis for the County to continue installing and maintaining the street signs in the City of Kannapolis at the cost of providing this service or the City should consider taking over this responsibility. It was noted that Cabarrus County does not provide this service to any of the other incorporated cities in the county. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Hamby, seconded by Chairman Lentz with Commissioners Hamby and Upright and Chairman Lentz voting for and Commissioners Payne and Barnhardt voting against, the Board approved on first reading an amendment to the Street Sign Policy so that in a new subdivision for new signs the initial cost for the first sign will be borne by the subdivider and the County will take over maintenance subsequently. The substitute motion by Commissioner Payne that the matter regarding the installation of street signs in new subdivisions be referred to the Cabarrus County Planning Board and any recommendations be brought to the Board of Commissioners failed for lack of second. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Hamby, seconded by Chairman Lentz with Commissioners Hamby, Payne, and Upright and Chairman Lentz voting for and Commissioner Barnhardt voting against, the Board instructed that a letter be sent to the City of Kannapolis explaining that Cabarru$ County does not provide the street sign installation and maintenance service to any other municipality and asking that the City consider what they would like to have the County do in regard to the placement of new street signs in the City of Kannapolis; that is, doing the street sign service on their own, coming to an agreement with the County regarding reimbursement for this service, or whatever would be their desire. Ms. Rebecca R. Yarbrough, Emergency Service Program Administrator with the Centralina Council of Governments, reviewed the proposal for a study of the Cabarrus County Emergency Medical Services. She stated the Scope of Services would include but would not be limited to the following aspects of the Cabarrus operation: Organizational Structure, Personnel/Position Descriptions/Salary, Personnel Development (including continuing education), Rate Structure, Budget, Personnel and Vehicle Deployment, Internal Planning Mechanisms, Policies and Procedures, Contracts and Ordinances, Relationship with Volunteers, and Relationship with Hospital. Ms. Yarbrough stated that the study would involve an estimated 176 hours at an estimated charge to the County of $5,150.00. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Payne, seconded by Commissioner Hamby and unanimously carried, the Board approved the following Service Agreement Memorandum for the Centralina Council of Governments to do the study concern- ing Emergency Medical Services in Cabarrus County at a cost not to exceed $5,150.00.
