These concerns included the creation of a potential liability of unknown proportion to the City and County, an adverse effect of the landfill on the tax base of both the City and County, and the negative impact on the development of the surrounding area. He suggested that the Board ask the County Attorney to give an official opinion on whether the County or City is liable for future maintenance of the landfill and to ask the Planning Director to evaluate the fit of the landfill into the surrounding development and give the Board an opinion upon its potential effects on future growth. In conclusion, Commissioner Simmons suggested that the Board authorize the Chairman to send a letter to the Concord Board of Alderman outlining these concerns and stating that the Board is joining Harrisburg's Board in opposing the landfill until the concerns are answered. The Board took no action on the presentation by Commissioner Simmons. Mr. Michael M. Ruffin, County Manager, requested permission to post four position vacancies for the Home Health Agency and stated a budget amendment would be presented on August 6 to reflect additional revenue to fund these new positions. The Board by consensus approved the posting of the position vacancies for the Home Health Agency. Mr. Michael M. Ruffin, County Manager, advised the Board that State Personnel had mandated that the Recycling Processing Center Operator be classified as an Environmental Health Technician and placed on Salary Grade 59 of the Pay Plan. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Melvin, seconded by Commissioner Moss and unanimously carried, the Board amended the County's Pay Plan to assign the Environmental Health Technician position to Salary Grade 59 to meet the State Personnel classification requirements. Commissioner Moss reported that he and Commissioner Melvin had no problem with the Environmental Health Section of the Health Department relocating to the Governmental Center. Further study will be made on the office space requests for the Governmental Center and Building "C". Chairman Lentz appointed himself and Commissioner Melvin as special liaisons for the development of the airport. Mr. Michael M. Ruffin presented a request from Reverend Earl Woodall, Executive Director of the Cooperative Christian Ministry, and Mr. James F.Cook, Jr., Social Services Director, for the County to file a preliminary letter of interest to the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation for the Opportunities for Families Fund. According to Mr. Ruffin, the Fund is designed to help move families from dependence to self-sufficiency and will involve the cooperative efforts of the County Social Services Department, Cooperative Christian Ministry, and other local private and public agencies.
