312 UPON MOTION of Commissioner Melvin, seconded by Chairman Lentz and unanimously carried, the Board rejected all bids for the tandem tractor and heavy duty trailer due to insufficient funds in the budget and as requested by Mr. William F. Pilkington, Health Director. A summary of an Opinion received in a letter dated March 3, 1988, from Mr. Douglas A. Johnston, Assistant Attorney General, in regards to charges for computer-generated lists of registered voters in Cabarrus County is as follows. To summarize, it is our conclusion that the County may charge a reason- able fee to the Board of Election and the Board of Election may charge a similar or slightly higher fee to accommodate its additional clerical cost in "passing along" the list to the person making the request for such list (G.S. 163-66). However, there does not appear to be a basis for charging a different rate to the public, depending on whether the person requesting the list is a candidate or non-candidate or is questing it for a candidate or a non-candidate. UPON MOTION of Chairman Lentz, seconded by Cox~issioner Payne and unanimously carried, the Board adopted as its overall policy the following motion which was adopted on February 1, 1988, and recorded on Page 285 of Minute Book 20. UPON MOTION of Chairman Lentz, seconded by Commissioner Payne and unanimously carried, the Board moved to make available to all candidates running for political office in this county that they be allowed to purchase the names from our computer section through the Board of Elections for 1~ cents per name and that the minimum charge for any request would be $200.00. The Board deferred the item on the agenda regarding Coddle Creek Reser- voir until the next meeting as Mr. Paul Watson, Engineer with HDR Infrastruc- ture, Inc., was unable to be present for this meeting. Ms. Joan Swaringen, Special Populations Supervisor with the Cabarrus County Parks and Recreation Department, reviewed the North Carolina Arts Council's Grassroots Fund grant application for the Cabarrus Senior Games Flag Line.
