UPON MOTION of Commissioner Hamby, seconded by Commissioner Barnhart with Commissioners Hamby, Barnhart, and Carpenter and Chairman Simmons voting for and Commissioner Payne voting against, the Board approved the acquisition of jail supervision equipment at a cost of $2,100.00 to be used to meet Jail Detention Standards in monitoring jail inmates. Mr. Fletcher L. Hartsell, Jr., County Attorney, reported that he had been working Ms. LeAnn Nease, Attorney with the law firm of Brown, Kirby, & Bunch, in drafting the Constructive Tender relative to the airport project. This document has not been finalized: therefore, the Board deferred action on this matter until January 10. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Carpenter, seconded by Chairman Simmons with Commissioners Carpenter and Barnhart and Chairman Simmons voting for and Commissioners Hamby and Payne voting against, the Board added to the agenda the consideration of designating Martin Luther King's Birthday a County holiday. The motion by Commissioner Carpenter to add Martin Luther King's Birthday to the County's holiday schedule to concur with the State holiday schedule failed for lack of a second. There was lengthy discussion relative to various options available to the Board in designating Martin Luther King's birthday as a County holiday. These included adding a holiday to the County schedule, substituting the State holiday schedule for the County schedule whereby the number of Christmas holidays would be reduced from three to two days and Martin Luther King's birthday would be added as a holiday, or adding Martin Luther King's Birthday as a floating holiday or personal choice leave day. It was noted during discussion that an amendment to the Personnel Ordinance would require unanimous adoption on first reading or would require a second reading at a later meeting. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Hamby, seconded by Commissioner Payne and unanimously carried, the Board tabled consideration of the designation of Martin Luther King's Birthday as a County holiday and instructed the County Manager to obtain input from County Department Heads regarding this matter. UPON MOTION of Chairman Simmons, seconded by Commissioner Carpenter agd unanimously carried, the Board moved to go into executive session to discuss nominations to the Tourism Authority and Council on Aging Advisory Board and to discuss possible land acquisition.
