WHEREAS, the local business plan developed by Piedmont Behavioral Healthcare provides detailed information on how the area authority will meet State standards, laws and rules for ensuring quality mental health, developmental disability and substance abuse services, including outcome measures for evaluating program effectiveness; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners of Cabarrus County, that the Local Business Plan of Piedmont Behavioral Healthcare shall be and is hereby approved. This the 16th day of December 2002. Attest: /s/ Frankie F. Bonds Frankie F. Bonds Clerk to the Board /s/ Robert M. Freeman Chairman, Board of County Commissioners (F-2) Proposed Amendment to Chapter 34, Fire Prevention and Protection, of the Code of Ordinances Mr. Mike Downs, Public Safety Services Director, presented the proposed Fire Prevention and Protection Ordinance amendment relative to annual contributions to local fire departments. In 1985 the County began allocating $3,000.00 annually to each fire department and charged five percent (5%) to collect the department's fire tax. Several years ago the County reduced the collection fee to one and one-half percent (1~%) in exchange for phasing out the County's annual cash contribution to the departments. The annual contribution has been phased out to all but the following five fire departments that received funding in FY 2003: Georgeville - $426.00; Rimer $831.00; Jackson Park - $995.00; North East - $1,487.00 and Mt. Mitchell $1,857.00. Beginning July 1, 2003, each fire department will be funded by its fire district tax revenue and will also participate in the County's sales tax revenue. There was discussion regarding the impact that the elimination of annual contribution would have on the five fire departments that received funds in FY 2003. Commissioner Carpenter asked Mr. Downs to notify those departments and to get input as to how this proposed action would impact their operation. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Carruth, seconded by Commissioner Privette with Commissioners Carruth and Privette, Chairman Freeman and Vice Chairman Suggs voting for and Commissioner Carpenter voting against, the Board adopted the following Ordinance on first reading.
