518 Mr. William F. Pilkington, Health Director, requested that the Board ban all tires from the County Landfill as a new company, U. S. Tire Disposal, had located a facility in Cabarrus County and had offered to receive all tires at a cost of sixty cents (60¢) per tire. He recommended that the Board approve a $1.50 handling fee for all tires inappropriately dumped into the landfill that would have to be removed and transported to U. S. Tire Disposal by County personnel. Mr. Fred Ensfinger, owner of U. S. Tire Disposal, was present for the meeting and offered to work with the County in storing and transporting the tires from the landfill to U. S. Tire Disposal. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Payne, seconded by Commissioner Melvin and unanimously carried, the Board moved that the Cabarrus County Landfill continue to collect tires and that the fee for collection of tires at the landfill be set at 75 cents (75¢) per tire. The Board requested Mr. William F. Pilkington, Health Director, and Mr. Fred Ensfinger, owner of U. S. Tire Disposal, to work out the collection and transportation of tires from the landfill to the tire disposal company. Also, the Board agreed that this method of tire collection and disposal would be on a trial period of 60 days with the matter to come back to the Board at that time. Chairman Lentz delayed discussion of the Electrical Construction Change Order E-1 and General Construction Change Order 2 requested for the Cabarrus County Jail construction project until the Executive Session. The Board reviewed the proposed Farm-City Week Proclamation as sub- mitted to the Board by Mr. Ralph Bonds. Commissioner Melvin asked that the reference to a "widening gap of misunderstanding" between farmers and city people be deleted from the proclamation. No action was taken on this request. UPON MOTION of Chairman Lentz, seconded by Commissioner Moss with Chairman Lentz and Commissioners Moss and Payne voting for and Commissioner Melvin voting against, the Board authorized the Chairman to sign the follow- ing Proclamation.
