<br /> Sheriff Robert Canaday reviewed the requested 1988-89 budget for the
<br />Sheriff's Department and Jail. He outlined such needs as additional officers,
<br />new communications console, construction of a firing range, and computer
<br />equipment. It was noted the Jail addition should be completed by April, 1989.
<br />The Board took no action on the Sheriff's Department budget at this time.
<br /> Mr. William F. Pilkington, Health Director, reviewed the following Health
<br />Department budgets: Animal Control, Sanitary Landfill, Public Health,
<br />Environmental Health, Home Care Program, and Mosquito Control Program.
<br /> In the Animal Control budget, the County Manager recommended
<br />appropriation of $10,000.00 in Line Item 860, Equipment & Furniture, was
<br />deleted. The Board agreed to one new position at the Animal Shelter as
<br />recommended.
<br /> In the Sanitary Landfill budget, funding for one additional Heavy
<br />Equipment Operator was deleted which reduced the total budget by approximately
<br />$15,000.00. The Board by consensus agreed to allocate funding for a new
<br />scraper with the understanding that before the equipment is purchased Mr.
<br />Pilkington will investigate the possibility of contracting out the excavation
<br />of a site for burying garbage at the Landfill.
<br /> In the Public Health budget, the Board deleted the recommended
<br />appropriation of $19,200.00 for the replacement of carpet at the Health
<br />Department and asked that the possibility of adding a frame roof to the
<br />facility be investigated. The Board discussed the possible allocation of
<br />$85,000.00 in the 1988-89 budget for the expansion of the Health Department
<br />facility to provide space for a waiting area, intake areas, clinic rooms, and
<br />interview areas.
<br /> UPON MOTION of Chairman Lentz, seconded by Commissioner Payne and
<br />unanimously carried, the Board moved to go into Executive Session to discuss a
<br />litigation matter concerning the Sanitary Landfill and invited Mr. William F.
<br />Pilkington, Health Director, to join the Board in the Executive Session.
<br /> UPON MOTION of Commissioner Moss, seconded by Commissioner Melvin and
<br />unanimously carried, the Executive Session was terminated.
<br /> Chairman Lentz reported that the Board had discussed pending litigation
<br />during the Executive Session.

<br /> budget: County Share of Public Assistance, six staff positions, completion of
<br /> the Senior Center project, State reclassification of Social Workers and
<br /> Eligibility Specialists, and the Community Alternatives Program.
<br /> The Board requested Mr. Cook to contact Mrs. Martha Macon regarding a
<br /> centralized transportation system for the County. Commissioner Melvin agreed
<br /> to work with Mr. Cook and Mrs. Macon on this project.
