441 The agreement would send all waste carriers currently using the Cabarrus County landfill to the BFI facility beginning July 1, 1995. In order to make this option economically feasible, we will need to seek state legislation allowing out-of-county waste to enter the County landfill from July 1, 1995 to June 30, 1996. This additional 12 months of operation will fill the landfill, thus reducing closure costs, and provide an additional $700,000 to $1,000,000 in revenue. These additional funds will cover the closure and post closure costs, plus provide a down payment on the cost of constructing a water line to serve the citizens who reside in the landfill area. Construction of this line should begin within 12 to 18 months. The contract with BFI is currently under review and expected to be considered at our next regular meeting June 19. UPON MOTION of Chairman Barnhart, seconded by Commissioner Olio-Mils with Chairman Barnhart and Commissioners Olio-Mills, Casper and Fennel voting for, the Board agreed to request the local legislative delegation to seek legislation to amend Cabarrus County's landfill permit to allow out-of-county waste to enter the landfill from July 1, 1995 to June 30, 1996. Travel to Orlando, Florida to Examine and Discuss Modular Schools Chairman Barnhart reported that he and Commissioner Fennel planned to travel to Florida with members of the Cabarrus County Board of Education and Dr. Harold Winkler, Superintendent, to look at the modular schools or "flex schools" that are being utilized in Orlando. The cost of travel for the two members was estimated at approximately $550.00. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Olio-Mills, seconded by Commissioner Fennel with Commissioners 0ilo-Mills, Fennel and Casper and Chairman Barnhart voting for, the Board authorized Chairman Barnhart and Vice-Chairman Fennel to travel to Orlando, Florida with Dr. Winkler and members of the Cabarrus County Board of Education to examine and discuss modular schools. Proposed Amendment to the Cabarrus County Personnel Ordinance to Clarify Longevity Pay Plan Section - Mr. Don Moorhead Mr. Don Moorhead, Personnel Officer, briefly reviewed the proposed amendment which would limit longevity pay to full-time employees. He stated these changes would clarify the retention of the original purpose of the plan. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Fennel, seconded by Commissioner Olio-Mills with Commissioners Fennel, Olio-Mills, Casper and Chairman Barnhart voting for, the Board adopted on first reading the following amendment to Article III, Section 13 of the Cabarrus County Personnel Ordinance. Section 13. Longevity Pay Plan The Cabarrus County Longevity Pay Plan was discontinued effective July 1, 1993. Each permanent full-time employee receiving this benefit prior to this date will continue to do so. This "grandfathered" benefit will be paid in the biweekly pay checks, at an amount equal to that which was in effect on June 30, 1993. Recipients will lose this benefit: (a) when making a change from permanent full-time to permanent part-time employment status. (b) upon separation from employment with Cabarrus County. Once longevity pay is terminated it will not be reinstated upon change of employment status or re-employment.
