Chairman Barnhart asked Dr. Pilkington and Mr. Farris to determine the actual cost to the County for these inspections and to make a recommendation to the Board by mid-April regarding a possible fee increase. There was also brief discussion about unfunded mandates by the State, specifically new legislation requiring the inspection of concession stands at athletic facilities. Management Support - Ms, Frances Taylor Ms. Taylor discussed the increased workload of the current staff and expressed concern about the shift of additional accounting/financial responsibilities from the Finance Office to the Health Department. An employee had been transferred from the Health Department to the Finance Office a number of years ago to handle these duties. Chairman Barnhart asked Mr. Witherspoon and Mr. Moorhead to look into the matter. School Health Ms, Jan Odell Ms. Odell discussed the work of the school nurses and current school space needs for these nurses. She expressed concern about the pay disparity of the school nurses who work ten (10) months per year and are considered part-time County employees. According to Ms. Odell, the school nurses employed by the Board of Education would be paid at a higher level and receive additional employee benefits than those employed by Public Health. Chairman Barnhart stated he would talk with Dr. Pilkington regarding this matter. Health Department Space Needs Dr. Pilkington discussed the overcrowded conditions at the Health Department and past proposals to build a human service complex in the central area of the county. However, if this complex cannot be built, Dr. Pilkington proposed that the County build a new Public Health facility in downtown Concord across from the Courthouse. He indicated that some funding for the new facility can be provided through the sale of the current Public Health property. Recess There being no further business to come before the Board, Chairman Barnhart recessed the meeting at 1:00 P.M. until Friday, March 3, 1995, at 2:00 P.M. in the Grand Jury Room at the County Courthouse to discuss courthouse security.
