Giles Moss <br /> UPON MOTION of Chairman Lentz, seconded by Commissioner Payne and <br />unanimously carried, the Board authorized the purchase of a plaque to be <br />given to Mr. Carlton M. Devore in appreciation for his service to Cabarrus <br />County at the Morris Real Estate Auction on February 22, 1988. <br /> Chairman Lentz recessed the meeting of the Board of Commissioners until <br />the conclusion of the meeting of the Board of Commissioners for the Water and <br />Sewer District of Cabarrus County. <br /> Chairman Lentz reconvened the meeting of the Board of Commissioners at <br />5:35 P.M. <br /> Ms. Corine Cannon of the Fishertown Community informed the Board that <br />residents of her community were still having sewage problems and asked for <br />the County's assistance in obtaining sewer service in the Fishertown area. <br />The Board received Ms. Cannon's request and advised her that the County was <br />currently trying to obtain grant funds for that area. <br /> The Board continued its review of the Ambulance Study Committee report <br />received on March 21, 1988, with discussion of the recommendation that the <br />County provide advanced training to the Harrisburg Rescue Squad personnel. <br />Mr. Ben Mabrey, Sr., Emergency Services Director, explained that the advanced <br />training would eliminate the need for the County Ambulance Service to be <br />dispatched to all emergency calls in the Harrisburg District as is now <br />required by the State. In regards to questions regarding the County's <br />subsidizing the operation of the rescue squads, Mr. Mabrey reported that <br />based on the number of calls and the amount of funds provided by the County <br />it costs approximately $110.00 per dispatch of the Cabarrus Rescue Squad and <br />from $68.00 to $70.00 per dispatch of the Harrisburg Rescue Squad. In <br />conclusion, Mr. Mabrey advised the Board that a decision regarding the <br />relocation of the Ambulance sub-station would need to be made in the near <br />future as the State was proceeding with plans for the bridge replacement at <br />Highway 601 and Highway 49. <br /> UPON MOTION of Chairman Lentz, seconded by Commissioner Hamby and <br />unanimously carried, the Board moved to go into Executive Session for the <br />following purposes: (1) To discuss with Mr. Branson Jones, Executive <br />Vice-President of the Greater Cabarrus Economic Development Corporation, <br />matters relating to the location or expansion of industries or businesses <br />into the county; (2) To discuss possible property acquisition; (3) To discuss <br />legal matters with the County Attorney; and (4) To discuss personnel matters. <br /> UPON MOTION of Commissioner Hamby, seconded by Commissioner Moss and <br />unanimously carried, the Executive Session was terminated. <br /> Chairman Lentz reported that no action had been taken in Executive <br />Session. <br /> There being no further business to come before the Board, the meeting <br />adjourned at 7:42 P.M. <br /> <br />Clerk to the Board <br /> <br /> <br />
