He stated the Finance Director had previously reported <br />$350,000.00 and the County Manager reported about $750,000.00 at the last <br />regular meeting. He made a motion to have an independent audit completed on the <br />fund. <br /> <br /> <br />Pam Dubois, Deputy County Manager, stated she inadvertently distributed a <br />report for the $350,000.00 in the Utilities Fund rather than a report for the <br />Adequate School Facilities Fund. She said Mr. Day asked the department to <br />prepare an audit and that is when she realized she had made a mistake and <br />distributed the wrong report. She said the correct report for the Adequate <br />School Facilities Fund had been distributed to the Board. <br /> <br />commissioner Privette confirmed with Ms. Dubois that the correct amount <br />was $750,000.00. <br /> <br />The motion by Commissioner Privette died for lack of a second. <br /> <br />Commissioner Privette commented on the hiring of Mark White, the <br />consultant from Kansas City, to prepare the revised Adequate Public Facilities <br />Ordinance (APFO). He questioned authorization of the contract and stated the <br />County's capable staff could have done that work. <br /> <br />John Day, County Manager, reported the Board directed staff to hire <br />someone to draft a new APFO and the County's contract policy authorizes him to <br />enter into contracts up to $50,000.00. <br /> <br />Jonathan Marshall, Commerce Director, stated White and Smith, LLC, is <br />nationally recognized for its expertise in adequate public facilities and that <br />type of legal expertise is needed at this time in light of pending litigation. <br />He reported Mark White is licensed to practice law in North Carolina and has a <br />planning and law degree from UNC at Chapel Hill. Because of budgetary <br />concerns, Mr. Marshall said staff worked with the firm to reduce the cost, <br />which had caused a delay in the project. <br /> <br />(K) WATER & SEWER DISTRICT OF CABARRUS COUNTY - REGULAR MEETING <br /> <br />UPON MOTION of Vice Chairman <br />unanimously carried, the Board <br />Commissioners at 11:41 p.m., until <br />and Sewer District. <br /> <br />Carruth, seconded by Chairman Carpenter and <br />recessed the meeting of the Board of <br />the conclusion of the meeting of the Water <br />
