<br />With regard to Concord High School's dining room remodeling project,
<br />Mr. Witke reviewed several change orders to correct poor soil conditions
<br />found in the courtyard and replacement /reinforcement of tuck pointing on the
<br />courtyard wall. He advised $10,000.00 in potential savings on the dining
<br />room project that were previously transferred to the auditorium project, will
<br />be returned to the dining room project to cover these change orders.
<br />He also reviewed the status of several ITS related projects, advised
<br />the milestone report will have a new format next month and responded to
<br />questions from the Board related to furniture. No action was taken.
<br />Will Crabtree, Kannapolis City Schools, was unable to attend the
<br />meeting; therefore, the Board did not receive an update on those projects.
<br />Planning and Development Service (Council for a Sustainable Local Economy) -
<br />Shuman SWOT Analvsis
<br />Michael H. Shuman, Director of Research and Economic Development at
<br />BALLE (Business Alliance for Local Living Economies) and a consultant hired
<br />to identify leakage in the local economy and determine the impact, in terms
<br />of number of jobs, of diverting all or some of that spending from outside the
<br />county to businesses inside the county, presented a PowerPoint presentation
<br />entitled, "Revitalizing Cabarrus County From the Inside Out ". Mr. Shuman
<br />proposed that a 25 percent shift in spending would create approximately 9,491
<br />new jobs, create $397 million in new wages and create $61 million in new
<br />taxes. The draft report, "Growing the Cabarrus County Economy from the
<br />Inside Out ", was included in the Agenda and is hereby incorporated into the
<br />meeting minutes by reference. A copy of the report is also on file in the
<br />Planning and Development Services' office. Following the presentation, Mr.
<br />Shuman responded to several questions from the Board which resulted in a
<br />general discussion. Shannon Johnson, Sustainable Local Economy Project
<br />Manager, was also in attendance and responded to questions from the Board.
<br />She advised that recommendations from the Council for a Sustainable Local
<br />Economy would be presented in June and that Mr. Shuman's report will be
<br />finalized in a month. No action was taken.
<br />Departmental Overview
<br />Social Services Programs and Financing
<br />As requested by the Board in preparation for upcoming budget meetings,
<br />certain county departments were asked to present an overview of their
<br />services and funding designated as discretionary or mandated.
<br />Ben Rose, Human Services Director, recognized the following staff
<br />members in attendance: Pam Graham, Finance Division, Angela Talley, Child
<br />Support, Connie Polk, Child Welfare, Trish Baker, Economic Services and Kathy
<br />Mowrer and James Polk representing Adult Family Services. He also recognized
<br />the following members of the Cabarrus County Social Services Board in
<br />attendance: John Kennedy, Chairman, Kay Scott, Vice Chairman, A.L. Fleming
<br />and Commissioner Chris Measmer. He stated the Department of Social Services
<br />(DSS) is a county department but is supervised by the State which also
<br />oversees and monitors DSS programs on a daily basis. He then presented an
<br />overview of the Department of Social Services program's four (4) primary
<br />service areas: Economic Services, Child Welfare, Child Support and Adult
