<br /> Chairman Simmons deferred Item U-3, "Proposed Amendment to the Ordinance
<br />Governing the Management of Solid Waste in Cabarrus County - Second Reading"
<br />until the executive session for consultation with counsel.
<br /> Mr. Paul Watson, Engineer with HDR Engineering, Inc., reported that all
<br />items of the contract with Blythe Industries, Inc. for the Coddle Creek
<br />Reservoir Project, Parts A & B, had been resolved with the exception of an
<br />insurance matter regarding the addition of the engineering firm to the Owner's
<br />Liability Protection Policy. He requested that the Board authorize the Chairman
<br />to execute the contract pending resolution of the insurance item and to execute
<br />the Notice to Proceed effective January 7, 1991. He noted that the contract
<br />period for the project is 730 days.
<br /> UPON MOTION of Commissioner Hamby, seconded by Commissioner Payne and
<br />unanimously carried, the Board authorized Chairman Simmons to execute the
<br />contract with Blythe Industries, Inc. for the Coddle Creek Reservoir Project,
<br />Parts A and B, in the sum of $10,515,157.15 with the stipulation that all
<br />insurance matters are resolved. The Board further authorized the Chairman to
<br />execute the Notice to Proceed effective January 7, 1991.
<br /> The Honorable Lena Bowen, Mayor of the Town of Harrisburg, and Sheriff
<br />Robert Canaday reviewed the request by the Harrisburg Town Council for the
<br />Sheriff's Department to Provide law enforcement protection to the Town of
<br />Harrisburg on a contract type basis beginning July 1, 1991. Under the terms of
<br />the proposed agreement, four officers would be assigned to the Town of
<br />Harrisburg with the Town to pay for two officers' salaries and benefits and the
<br />County to fund the other two officers. Sheriff Canaday explained that the
<br />working arrangement would be similar to that with the Town of Mt. Pleasant
<br />whereby the officers while on duty would remain within the corporate limits of
<br />the town approximately 80 percent of their time with the remaining 20 percent
<br />spent patrolling within close proximity to the corporate limits. In addition,
<br />the four officers would be available for dispatch to calls in the patrol zone
<br />surrounding Harrisburg in the event that the zone car is not available or if
<br />there is a need for a backup car. Sheriff Canaday estimated that $100,000.00 in
<br />additional County funds would be needed for salaries, benefits, vehicles, and
<br />equipment for the officers.
<br /> UPON MOTION of Commissioner Payne, seconded by Commissioner Hamby and
<br />unanimously carried, the Board directed Mr. Fletcher L. Hartsell, Jr., County
<br />Attorney, to draft the necessary agreement between the Sheriff's Department and
<br />the Town of Harrisburg for the Sheriff's Department to provide the law
<br />enforcement services as requested by the Town of Harrisburg effective July 1,
<br />1991.
<br /> Dr. William F. Pilkington, Health Director, presented the request by the
<br />franchised garbage collection companies for an increase of $1.50 to the current
<br />residential refuse collection fees of $9.80 per month. Mr. David Marcus, Vice-
<br />President of Container Corporation of Carolina, and Mr. John Spea§le, District
<br />Manager of Browning-Ferris Industries of South Atlantic, Inc., spoke in support
<br />of the increase. Reasons cited for the rate adjustment request included an
<br />increase in the Consumer Price Index and an increase in fuel costs.
<br /> UPON MOTION of Commissioner Payne, seconded by Commissioner Barnhart and
<br />unanimously carried, the Board voted to grant a $1.00 increase in the monthly
<br />residential refuse collection fees effective January 1, 1991, and an additional
<br />50 cents (50¢) increase in monthly collection fees on July 1, 1991.
<br /> Dr. William F. Pilkington, Health Director, reported that the Board of
<br />Health had recommended the reappointment of Mrs. Goldia Cruse and Mr. Vernon
<br />Russell and the appointment of Dr. David Lockhart to the Board of Health. He
<br />noted that Dr. Allen Dobson, current Physician member of the Board of Health,
<br />had declined to serve again.
<br /> UPON MOTION of Commissioner Hamby, seconded by Commissioner Carpenter and
<br /> unanimously carried, the Board reappointed Ms. Goldia C. Cruse as the Registered
<br /> Nurse representative and Mr. Vernon Russell as a Public representative on the
<br /> Board of Health for a term of three years ending December 31, 1993. Also, the
<br /> Board appointed Dr. David Lockhart as the Physician representative on the Board
<br /> of Health for a three-year term ending December 31, 1993.
