42 Mr. David Stokes, Wildlife Officer, discussed the problems created by persons spotlighting deer in Cabarrus County. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Melvin, seconded by Commissioner Hamby and unanimously carried, the Board moved to request the Wildlife Resources Commission to set a public hearing to get input on a regulation for Cabarrus County that would be consistent with surrounding counties and prohibit a person from intentionally shining a light upon deer or intentionally sweeping a light in search of deer in this county between the hours of one-half hour after sunset and one-half hour before sunrise. The Board reviewed the Stonewall Jackson Property Evaluation Report as prepared by Dennis Yates Associates and presented to the Board by Commissioner Melvin on January 23, 1989. Stating there is a possibility that the State of North Carolina would offer the Cannon Building along with six other buildings at the school to Cabarrus County, Commissioner Melvin proposed that these buildings be renovated to provide a Senior Citizens Center and to house other non-profit organizations. It was noted that Mr. Yates had estimated in his report that it would cost approximately $1.2 million to renovate the Cannon Building. The Board by general consensus indicated its interest in pursuing the acquisition of the facilities and the renovation of the Cannon Building for a Senior Citizens Center. The Board tentatively agreed to tour the buildings at 4:00 P.M. on Monday, February 13, 1989. Commissioner Simmons asked the Board's wishes on participating in the joint feasibility study for a county-wide water and sewer authority as requested by the Cabarrus Utilities Board on January 19. This item is to be placed on the agenda for the meeting on February 6, 1989. There being no further business to come before the Board, the meeting was adjourned at 6:15 P.M. Clerk to the Board
