164 <br /> <br /> Dr. William F. Pilkington, Health Director, discussed the low participation <br />rate and the difficulties in administering the curbside recycling contract for <br />15,000 homes in selected areas of the county. According to Dr. Pilkington, the <br />four drop-off collection sites collect more tonnage in recyclables than is <br />collected from the 15,000 homes. To better serve the residents, the County is <br />also planning three additional drop-off sites--two in the Kannapolis area and one <br />in the Harrisburg area. <br /> <br /> There was discussion regarding the cost of recycling, privatization of the <br />curbside recycling program and the possibility of the cities assuming the <br />program. <br /> <br /> Chairman Barnhart asked Mr. Clifton to contact the municipalities of <br />Kannapolis, Harrisburg and Mt. Pleasant to determine if there is an interest to <br />assume the curbside recycling program. If there is an interest, there was general <br />agreement that the Board would consider a 30-day extension to the County's <br />recycling contract with BFI in order for the cities to implement plans to assume <br />the program. <br /> <br />UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br /> <br />Approval of Weatherization Contract between Salisbury-Rowan Community Service <br />Council, Inc. and Cabarrus County Department of Aging and Adoption of Related <br />Budget Amendment <br /> <br /> Mr. Mike Murphy, Director of Aging, reviewed the proposed Weatherization <br />Assistance Program contract between the Salisbury-Rowan Community Service <br />Council, Inc. and the Department of Aging. In efforts to reduce administrative <br />costs at the State level, the Division of Energy had consolidated Cabarrus County <br />with Rowan County and appointed the Salisbury-Rowan Community Service Council, <br />Inc. to serve as lead agency. Mr. Murphy also presented for approval a proposed <br />contract addendum outlining application procedures to assure that Cabarrus County <br />residents will not have to go to Rowan County to apply for the program. <br /> <br /> Mr. Andrew T. Harris, Executive Director of the Salisbury-Rowan Community <br />Service Council, was present to answer any questions by the Board. He stated <br />that the addendum should clear up any concerns regarding the provision of <br />services to Cabarrus County residents. <br /> <br /> UPON MOTION of Commissioner Niblock, seconded by Commissioner Fennel with <br />Commissioners Niblock and Fennel and Chairman Barnhart voting for, the Board <br />approved the "Weatherization Assistance Program for Low-Income Persons (Annual <br />Contract)," Contract Number 96-1441-38(2), between the Salisbury-Rowan Community <br />Service Council, Inc., the Cabarrus County Department of Aging, and the Energy <br />Division of the North Carolina Department of Commerce along with the Contract <br />Addendum outlining the application procedures for Cabarrus County residents. <br />Further, the Board approved the budget amendment as set forth below.
