November 24, 2003 Page 303 There was discussion about the County's organizational structure, including the role of the County Manager and the number of department heads reporting to the County Manager and/or Deputy County Manager. The Board by consensu~ agreed to leave the County's organizational structure as it currently exists with the Manager and one Deputy Manager. Further, Board members asked for information comparing the County's organizational structure with those of other counties of similar size to Cabarrus. Letter of Support UPON MOTION of Commissioner Carpenter, seconded by Commissioner Privette and unanimously carried, the Board authorized the Chairman to sign the following letter in support of the Cabarrus Community Health Center's application to become a federally designated Community Health Center. Dear Dr. Dobson: As the elected Chairman of the Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners, I am pleased to write a letter in support of the Cabarrus Community Health Center's application to become a federally designated Community Health Center. The needs of Cabarrus County in regard to health care access for the uninsured and Medicaid recipients continues to escalate due to the bankruptcy of the Pillowtex Corporation and loss of jobs and health care benefits for workers and their families. Our county has been very proactive in developing collaborative partnerships to meet health needs in the past, and continues to do so. The application by the Cabarrus Community Health has strong community support by health and human resource providers, the faith community and community leaders. Let me add my endorsement of this effort on behalf of the Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners. Sincerely, /s/ Robert M. Freeman Ad~ ournment There being no further business to come before the Board, Chairman Freeman adjourned the meeting at 9:45 p.m. Clerk to the Board
