128 light metals, glass, and newspapers be added to the recycling program and that all vehicles currently permitted to enter the landfill at no charge (pick-up trucks or smaller) be required to bring at least one garbage bag of recyclable materials to continue to enter at no charge. It is further recommended that the Board of Health and Board of Commissioners establish a mandatory recycling program for household and commercial solid waste to be determined. Support for these recommendations is found in communities with recycling programs that have extended landfill capacity from ten to twenty-five percent. <8) The Board of Health and Board of Commissioners should continue to pursue incineration of solid waste for the recovery of energy. Ail new industries locating in Cabarrus County should be contacted to determine the potential interest in the purchase of steam or electricity from such a plant. In addition, the Board of Commissioners should provide for an update of the existing resource recovery study no later than FY 1991-92. The substitute motion by Commissioner Hamby to set the tipping fee for fiscal year 1987-88 at $1.00 per cubic yard failed for lack of second.

McGinnis, County Manager, recommended that the base pay for commis- sioners be adjusted to ten percent above the current base pay for meetings and that there be a $50.00 differential in the travel allowance for the Chairman of the Board. No action was taken by the Board in this matter. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Payne, seconded by Commissioner Melvin and unanimously carried, the Board granted a $1,500.00 per year salary increase to the closest grade/step on the County's pay plan for Ms. Ruby F. Little, Supervisor of Board of Elections, and authorized Mr. Charles D. McGinnis, County Manager, to make the determination as to the grade/step on the pay plan with Ms. Little's salary not to exceed $19,900.00. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Hamby, seconded by Chairman Lentz and unani- mously carried, the Board increased the perdi~m payments for the members of all paid boards and commissions to $40.00 per meeting and increased the payment for the Chairmen of all paid boards and commissions to $50.00 per meeting. UPON MOTION of Chairman Lentz, seconded by Commissioner Hamby and unani- mously carried, the Board approved a salary increase for County employees of three percent (3%) and an increase of two percent (2%) for the new 401K Retirement Plan. There being no further business to come before the Board, the meeting was adjourned. Clerk to the Board
