<br /> Commissioner Moss gave a report on the National Association of
<br />Counties Annual Conference held in Anaheim, California, on August 6-10,
<br />1988.
<br /> Mr. James F. Cook, Jr., Social Services Director, summarized the past
<br />work on the efforts to establish a community wide senior center and the
<br />plans that had been developed for combining an addition to the Social
<br />Services facility and the Senior Center. He listed the various funding
<br />sources which included the following: State appropriations by local
<br />representatives, Cabarrus County, City of Concord, Town of Harrisburg, a
<br />challenge grant by The Cannon Foundation, Inc., and many businesses, civic
<br />organizations, and individuals who had pledged donations toward the
<br />construction of the facility. Mr. Cook recognized the following individuals
<br />for their work on behalf of the Senior Center: H.A. Mauldin, Joy
<br />Wilkinson, Webb Linker, Frances Linker, Bill Covington, James Graeber,
<br />Frank Liske, Sue Casper, Conway Foster, John Caldwell, Mark Miller, Willie
<br />Roddy, Earl Clayton, Chuck Wilson, Teresa Melton, Betty Sartin, and Angela
<br />Ferguson.
<br /> Mr. Ken Griffin, architect, presented the plans for the Senior Center
<br />and for the proposed access road to Highway 601. He noted that although
<br />the building is planned as an addition to the Social Services office it
<br />will have its own identity and be a separate facility. The construction
<br />cost was estimated at $1,335,000.00.
<br /> Ms. Teresa Melton, Aging Coordinator, reviewed the proposed use of the
<br />new Senior Center and stated it would serve as the focal point for services
<br />for senior citizens. She recommended that the Board consider the appoint-
<br />ment of a steering committee to plan for the future direction of the
<br />Center. Mrs. Melton requested that the Board consider the appropriation of
<br />the remainder of the outstanding funds needed for the completion of the
<br />Center.
<br /> It was noted that $41,746.00 had been raised through contributions by
<br />local residents and businesses and that $55,254.00 was needed to complete
<br />the requirements to obtain the $100,000.00 Cannon Foundation challenge
<br />grant. A total of $228,686.00 was needed to complete the funding for the
<br />construction of the Senior Center.
<br /> UPON MOTION of Commissioner Melvin, seconded by Commissioner Hamby and
<br />unanimously carried, the Board agreed that the County would supply the
<br />needed funds of $55,254.00 to meet the Cannon Foundation Challenge Grant.
<br /> UPON MOTION of Chairman Lentz, seconded by Commissioner Hamby and
<br />unanimously carried, the Board rejected the bids received for a hydroseeder
<br />for the Cabarrus County Landfill as a bid received for the equipment had
<br />been misplaced prior to the bid opening. The Board authorized the rebid-
<br />ding of this equipment.
<br /> UPON MOTION of Chairman Lentz, seconded by Commissioner Payne and
<br />unanimously carried, the Board moved the regular meeting scheduled for 3:00
<br />P.M. on Monday, September 5, 1988, to 3:00 P.M. on September 12, 1988, due
<br />to the observance of Labor Day.
<br /> Chairman Lentz recessed the meeting at 8:45 P.M. until the conclusion
<br />of the meeting of the Board of Commissioners for the Water and Sewer
<br />District.
<br /> Chairman Lentz reconvened the meeting at 8:55 P.M.
<br /> The Board agreed to meet with the Concord Board of Aldermen on
<br />Thursday, August 25, 1988, at 7:00 P.M. in the Commissioners' Meeting Room
<br />at the Courthouse.
<br /> UPON MOTION of Chairman Lentz, seconded by Commissioner Hamby and
<br />unanimously carried, the Board moved to go into Executive Session to
<br />discuss a personnel matter in regard to the county manager applicants.
<br /> UPON MOTION of Commissioner Hamby, seconded by Chairman Lentz and
<br />unanimously carried, the Executive Session was terminated.
<br /> No action was taken by the Board during Executive Session.
<br /> There being no further business to come before the Board, the meeting
<br />was adjourned.
