Request for Letter of Endorsement by Time Warner Cable Mr. John Day, Budget Officer/Area Manager, briefly discussed the request by Time Warner Cable for a letter of endorsement from Cabarrus County concerning the social contract that has been negotiated between the Federal Communication Commission and Time Warner Cable. This contract will provide for such things as a reduction in the cost of the basic cable package and a limit on the number of rate increases per year. Chairman Barnhart asked Board members to review the information provided to them regarding the social contract and to notify the Clerk of their wishes regarding a letter of endorsement by the County. The deadline for public comment on the matter is September 5. County Manager Hiring Process Chairman Barnhart reported that the acceptance of applications for Coungy Manager closed on this date and that more than 82 applications were received. He read the following prepared statement. On July 29, 1995, the Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners outlined a process for hiring the next County Manager. As part of the process, a Screening Committee was to be selected. This Screening Committee is charged with the responsibility of narrowing the list of 80 plus applicants to approximately 3 to 5 qualified candidates through a very thorough appraisal process. The next county manager will then be chosen by the Board of Commissioners from this list of finalists. After much thought, I have come to the conclusion that the very best way for our board to accomplish this task is by reaching out to the business community and asking for assistance from successful professionals with many years of proven experience in the private sector. In addition, I felt we should select one individual with experience in the governmental sector to assist, but who will not be working for the next county manager. And finally, I thought it appropriate to select an individual from the public schools which comprise a major component of our annual budget. With this goal in mind, I propose the following list of names for your consideration. (Ail of them have agreed to serve if selected, with the exception of Roy Davis who I could not reach since he is out of town. I am quite certain that Roy will help us.)
