<br />
<br /> Mr. Dennis Yates, architect, briefly reviewed information regarding the
<br />proposed County Administrative Office Building as presented on December 29,
<br />1986. He advised the Board that the next step concerning the facility would be
<br />the schematic drawings for the building. The Board had lengthy discussion
<br />regarding current space needs for County offices and the judicial system, the
<br />completion of the third floor of the Courthouse, funding of the proposed
<br />facility, and such priority needs of the County as water and sewer, airport,
<br />schools, and a Cabarrus campus of Rowan Technical College.
<br /> Mr. Philip H. Smith, Sr., stated in his opinion a new building was needed
<br />at some time in the future but the County should first consider such priorities
<br />as a technical school, senior citizens facility, airport, water and sewer, and
<br />a civic center. He proposed that the third floor of the Courthouse be given to
<br />the judicial system as needed and stated there was ample rental space in the
<br />downtown area to take care of any overflow from County offices.
<br /> Mr. Branson Jones, Executive Vice President of The Greater Cabarrus County
<br />Economic Development Corporation, stated in his opinion water and sewer services
<br />were needed in the County to improve the chances of attracting new businesses
<br />to Cabarrus County.
<br /> UPON MOTION of Commissioner Payne, seconded by Chairman Lentz with Commis-
<br />sioners Payne and Hamby and Chairman Lentz voting for and Commissioners Melvin
<br />and Moss voting against, the Board authorized Mr. Dennnis Yates, architect, to
<br />move on with the next step for the new office building with the understanding
<br />that this project can be stopped at any time.
<br /> Commissioner Hamby presented the proposed Manager Personnel Agreement for
<br />consideration by the Board. During discussion of the proposed agreement,
<br />Commissioner Melvin expressed concern regarding the use of the words
<br />"agreement" and "contract".
<br /> UPON MOTION of Commissioner Hamby, seconded by Commissioner Payne with
<br />Commissioners Hamby, Payne, and Moss and Chairman Lentz voting for and
<br />Commissioner Melvin voting against, the Board approved the Manager Personnel
<br />Agreement as drafted by Mr. Fletcher L. Hartsell, Jr., County Attorney, with
