141 <br /> <br /> The Board of Commissioners for the County of Cabarrus met in recessed <br />session in the Commissioners' Conference Room at the Cabarrus County Governmental <br />Center on Friday, May 17, 1991, at 8:30 A.M. <br /> Present - Chairman: Billy J. Simmons, Jr. <br /> Commissioners: Jeffrey L. Barnhart <br /> Carolyn B. Carpenter <br /> William G. Hamby, Jr. <br /> Kenneth F. Payne <br /> Also present were Mr. Michael M. Ruffin, County Manager; Mrs. Cynthia <br />Eades, Personnel Officer; Mrs. Diane Seaford, Budget Officer; and Mrs. Frankie <br />F. Bonds, Clerk to the Board. <br /> Chairman Simmons called the meeting to order at 9:00 A.M. <br /> Commissioners Barnhart and Hamby were absent for the beginning of the <br />meeting. <br /> Chairman Simmons expressed concern relative to recent news articles in The <br />Concord Tribune regarding the Board of Commissioners and such items as the <br />proposed Fiscal Year 1991-1992 budget, the removal of an alleged "cap" on legal <br />fees, and Board travel expenses. He objected to the publishing of "rumors" in <br />the newspaper and stated there was no truth to the article that the Board planned <br />to terminate the employment of the County Manager at its meeting on June 3. <br /> Mrs. Cynthia Eades, Personnel Officer, reviewed the recommended Pay Plan <br />Adjustments and recommended new positions for the 1991-1992 Fiscal Year. In <br />addition, she discussed the performance evaluation system which began January <br />1, 1991. She noted that 53.8 percent of the employees had received merit <br />increases during the first four months of the program. Board members expressed <br />concern regarding the high percentage of merit increases, and Ms. Eades advised <br />them that the system would be closely monitored during the year to determine <br />appropriate changes. <br /> Chairman Simmons opened the budget oversight hearings. <br /> Mr. Bob Farris, Environmental Health Supervisor, reviewed the work of the <br />secretary for that unit and asked that the Board approve a new clerical position <br />to help meet the increased workload demands. The Board asked that the <br />compensatory time be closely monitored for the current employee. <br /> Ms. Lila Fister, Home Health Supervisor, asked that the Board consider the <br />line items for Consultants as well as Furniture and Equipment for that agency. <br />She stressed the need for adequate funding to provide marketing services to <br />promote the agency, indigent care services, and possible Medicare cost <br />settlements. In addition, Ms. Fister asked for funding to purchase secretarial <br />stations as well as a mailing machine and other office equipment. The Board asked <br />that the agency consider the use of the mail service provided by the General <br />Services department. <br /> Commissioner Barnhart arrived at 10:30 A.M. and was present for the <br />remainder of the meeting. <br /> Mr. Rick Payne, Recycling Coordinator, asked that the Board approve the <br />funding for a new roll-off truck at a cost of $85,000.00. According to Mr. <br />Payne, the 1979 vehicle currently being used is unsafe and needs extensive <br />repairs. <br /> Board members discussed new tipping fees for the Landfill. A motion made <br />by Commissioner Payne and seconded by Chairman Simmons to set the tipping fee <br />at $26.00 per ton effective July 1, 1991 was withdrawn after discussion. <br /> Commissioner Carpenter proposed the sharing of such equipment as a tub <br />grinder, skidder, and straw blower with surrounding counties. Board members by <br />consensus agreed for Commissioner Carpenter to pursue this idea and bring a <br />proposal back to the Board for consideration. <br /> UPON MOTION of Chairman Simmons, seconded by Commissioner Carpenter with <br />Chairman Simmons and Commissioners Carpenter, Barnhart, and Payne voting for, <br />the Board moved to go into executive session for consultation with counsel <br />regarding pending litigation. <br /> Chairman Simmons recessed the meeting for the Board to travel to Meric's <br />Restaurant for the executive session and lunch. Commissioner Hamby joined the <br />Board for the executive session. <br /> Chairman Simmons reconvened the meeting in the Commissioners' Conference <br />Room following lunch. <br /> UPON MOTION of Chairman Simmons, seconded by Commissioner Barnhart with <br />Chairman Simmons and Commissioners Barnhart, Carpenter, and Payne voting for, <br />the executive session was terminated. <br /> No action was reported from the executive session. <br /> Mr. C. Richard Russell, Director of Management Information Systems, <br />reviewed the requested budget for that department. He objected to the $50,000.00 <br />recommended by the County Manager for a management study of that department. <br /> <br /> <br />
