469 Chairman Lentz reported that after the bid opening Mr. Gene Widenhouse, owner of Widenhouse, Inc., had indicated verbally that his base bid had included the demolition of the one building on Union Street which had been listed in the bid package as Alternate 1. The motion by Commissioner Hamby to table consideration of the demolition bids until the meeting on August 29 failed for lack of second. UPON MOTION of Chairman Lentz, seconded by Commissioner Melvin and unanimously carried, the Board awarded the contract for the demolition of County buildings to the low bidder, Widenhouse, Inc., in the amount of $28,500.00 provided that this bid also includes Alternate 1 which was the demolition of the building known as Stowe's Bonding on Union Street. Chairman Lentz reviewed the recent problems involving the testing and removal of asbestos in the County facility known as the "Snyder Building". He reported that he had received a bid of $6,900.00 to remove the boiler which contained asbestos from the building. Chairman Lentz proposed that a representative of the County attend an asbestos school in Raleigh on August 29 - September 2, 1988, at a cost of $650.00 for tuition and indicated his interest in attending such a school. During review of the Chairman Lentz's proposal, Board members discussed the merits of a County staff member as opposed to an elected official attending such a school. The motion by Commissioner Melvin and seconded by Commissioner Payne for Chairman Lentz to attend the school at the expense of the County to become an asbestos inspector failed with Commissioners Melvin and Payne voting for and Commissioners Hamby and Moss and Chairman Lentz voting against. Chairman Lentz appointed Commissioners Hamby and Moss to pursue the asbestos removal in the "Snyder Building". UPON MOTION of Chairman Lentz, seconded by Commissioner Hamby and unani- mously carried, the Board moved to go into Executive Session to discuss land acquisition and personnel. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Hamby, seconded by Chairman Lentz and unani- mously carried, the Executive Session was terminated. UPON MOTION of Chairman Lentz, seconded by Commissioner Hamby and unani- mously carried, the Board moved to enter into a contract with Douglas L. Allen and Susan K. Allen to purchase Parcel 2 of the Coddle Creek Reservoir Project at a cost of $60,000.00 pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the purchase contract. There being no further business to come before the Board, Chairman Lentz recessed the meeting until 7:00 P.M. on Thursday, August 25, 1988. Clerk to the Board
