Chairman Simmons opened the public hearing regarding the <br />proposed 1991-1992 budget and asked if anyone were present who wished to speak <br />either for or against the budget. <br /> Dr. Vincent Arey of Concord addressed the need for additional funding for <br />the Health Department for Family Planning services. <br /> Ms. Belinda Deatherage of Cabarrus Victims Assistance Network (CVAN) asked <br />that the appropriation to that organization be increased to $20,000.00 to fund <br />a new shelter purchased in January, 1991. "Mary Ann", former client of CVAN, <br />related her story of abuse and told how CVAN had assisted her. <br /> Ms. Celie Richardson requested that funding for the Cabarrus Arts Council <br />be maintained at the present level of $10,000.00. <br /> Mr. Gary Crook, resident of Bedfordshire Avenue and speaking on behalf of <br />the Concerned Citizens and Mr. Bill Fitzhugh, stated support of the Board and <br />changes made since the last election. He supported an appropriation in the <br />amount of $20,000.00 to CVAN, the continued fight against the City of Concord <br />relative to the airport litigation, the establishment of water and sewer <br />services to each section of the county, the elimination of the membership fees <br />to the chambers of commerce, the continuation of zoning and land use planning, <br />and the County's becoming the lead agency for the wastewater treatment facility. <br /> Mr. Richard Kluttz of the Rimer Community objected to an increase in taxes <br />and asked that the Board consider the "average" person in setting the tax rate. <br />He recommended the elimination of the Office of the County Manager, getting rid <br />of the Governmental Center, discontinuing work on the Coddle Creek Reservoir and <br />returning all property to its previous owners, getting out of the Tourism <br />business, closing the Planning and Zoning Office, and withdrawing from Arts <br />funding. In conclusion, he asked that the Board never propose a bond issue to <br />the people. <br /> Mr. Paul Mason of 628 Channing Circle in Concord asked that the Board <br />consider the effect that an increase in the tax rate will have upon himself and <br />all other persons who are retired and live on a fixed income. <br /> Ms. Judy Tucker, representative of Wildlife Care, requested $3,000.00 to <br />help with the operating costs of Wildlife Care which works to rehabilitate <br />injured and orphaned wildlife. <br /> Chairman Simmons recessed the public hearing at 7:40 P.M. <br /> UPON MOTION of Chairman Simmons, seconded by Commissioner Hamby and <br />unanimously carried, the Board rescinded the following budget amendment which <br />had been approved on May 13, 1991. <br /> <br />DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES <br />AMOUNT N/A <br />TYPE OF ADJUSTMENT: Supplemental Request <br />PURPOSE OF REQUEST: The 1990 County Audit treated the cash value of surplus food <br /> commodities as an expense and offsetting revenue. This amendment is <br /> required to conform to this approach. <br /> <br /> <br />
