155 <br /> <br />enhancement of public health in Cabarrus County. Staff will bring <br />information concerning the proposed transfer back to the Board for review and <br />approval at a future date. <br /> <br />Status Report: County Construction Projects <br /> <br /> Chairman Barnhart suggested the Board consider the updating of the <br />County project notebook began several years ago. Also, he suggested the <br />Board begin meeting quarterly to discuss the status of various projects. <br /> <br /> Mr. Clifton reviewed the status of current County projects and outlined <br />future needs of the County. He discussed future space needs for the courts <br />and other offices located in the Courthouse, expansion of the Jail and the <br />possible construction of a parking garage in conjunction with the City of <br />Concord. Also, Mr. Clifton reported that plans are complete for the vehicle <br />maintenance garage. Board members had no objections to putting this project <br />out for bid. <br /> <br /> Sheriff Robert Canaday discussed the increasing jail population and the <br />need to begin planning for additional jail space. He stated that additional <br />beds would be needed in 18 to 24 months. <br /> <br /> There was discussion regarding the expansion of the existing jail or <br />constructing a satellite facility. Plans are to include funding in the FY <br />1999-2000 budget for architectural services to evaluate jail space needs and <br />beginning planning on jail expansion. <br /> <br />County Landfill Site <br /> <br /> The Board deferred discussion of options for the future use of the <br />County Landfill site until a later date. <br /> <br />Tax Administrator Position <br /> <br /> Mr. Clifton and Mr. Don Moorhead, Human Resources Director, reviewed <br />the appointment requirements for the Tax Administrator position. The <br />position currently oversees appraisal/valuation, land records, tax collection <br />and ambulance collection. They pointed out that the General Statutes require <br />that the person appointed to the position acquire State certification within <br />two years of the appointment. <br /> <br /> UPON MOTION of Commissioner Casper, seconded by Commissioner Privette <br />and unanimously carried, the Board authorized staff to proceed with the <br />application process to fill the Tax Administrator's position as currently <br />structured. The Board stated preference for a certified candidate but will <br />consider other qualified applicants. It was agreed that Mr. Don Moorhead <br />would coordinate the application process. <br /> <br />Educational Issues <br /> <br /> Mr. Clifton presented a proposal to consolidate school building <br />maintenance functions and establish a centralized building maintenance <br />function similar to the grounds maintenance program began last year. He <br />stated plans to budget one half the total building maintenance expense for FY <br />1999-2000 with the program to be effective January 1, 2000. The County would <br />then pick up the full cost in the next fiscal year. Mr. Clifton pointed out <br />that in pursuing this program the current Board of Commissioners and future <br />Boards would be accepting responsibility for all School and County buildings <br />in Cabarrus County. <br /> <br /> Chairman Barnhart stated he had invited Cabarrus County School <br />representatives to make a presentation concerning school funding and school <br />construction costs. He expressed concern that there is no uniform method for <br />reporting school construction costs to the State. <br /> <br />Mr. Gary Hahn, member of the Cabarrus County Board of Education, <br />discussed the school construction program and the different methods of <br />reporting costs, including total project, construction and square footage <br />costs. He listed various factors affecting construction costs such as <br />facility size, base bid items, bid date, bid climate and geographic location. <br />Mr. Hahn compared new Cabarrus County schools with a prototype elementary <br />school in Harnett County. He also reviewed costs for architectural services <br />and defended the use of the current architect by the County Schools. <br /> <br /> <br />
