UPON MOTION of Chairman Simmons, seconded by Commissioner Barnhart and unanimously carried, the Board agreed to have its first regular Board meeting in March in the auditorium of the "Historic Courthouse". Chairman Simmons scheduled a work session for members of the Board at 2:00 P.M. in Washington, D. C. on Saturday, March 16, 1991, during the Nati'onal Association of Counties Legislative Conference. UPON MOTION of Chairman Simmons, seconded by Commissioner Barnhart and unanimously carried, the Board appointed Mr. Michael M.

Cook, Jr., Social Services Director; and Dr. William F. Pilkington, Health Director to a staff committee to study the organization of Cabarrus County Government and present the pros and cons of the organizational structure to the Board by its first meeting in March. The Board received the letter from Ms. Sharon L. Eury, Administrative Secretary for the Veterans Service Office, requesting that the Board consider the possibility of allowing employees who are on the waiting list for parking spaces in the Governmental Center to park on the "G" level during inclement weather. Mr. Michael M. Ruffin, County Manager, reported that there were a total of 98 full-time and part-time employees who work in the Governmental Center and 63 spaces in the "B" parking deck where employees park at a cost of $10.00 per month. The remaining 35 employees must park outside the building. Mr. Ruffin stated he had visited the "G" level on four occasions during the past week and only 25 percent of the 98 spaces on that deck were being used. During consideration of the request, Commissioner Hamby expressed concern about releasing any of the public parking spaces on the "G" deck. UPON MOTION of Chairman Simmons, seconded by Commissioner Payne and unanimously carried, the Board allocated 30 spaces on the "G" level of the Governmental Center for employee parking at the charge of $10.00 per month. The spaces are to be located in the far corner of the deck at a point farthest from the elevator and will be subject to availability as long as the parking is not needed by the general public. In addition, it was the consensus of the Board that if all spaces are not needed, the judges who so desire will be given an opportunity to park on the "G" deck at a cost of $10.00 per month. Chairman Simmons recessed the meeting at 9:26 P.M. until the conclusion of the Board of Commissioners for the Water and Sewer District of Cabarrus County.
