Motion seconded by Commissioner Cook and vote <br />carried. <br /> <br /> Mrs. Martin Foil, representing the Concord Garden Clubs, asked <br />assistance in constructing a brick walk from Means Street to the new court- <br />house rear entrance. The clubs will seek to restore the grounds of the old <br />courthouse and felt that a walk was needed so that people would not walk on <br />the grass.

Motion seconded by Commissioner Hammett and vote carried. <br /> <br /> The County Manager was asked to employ a~surveyor to draw the boundary <br />lines and properly position the buildings which are county property on <br />Cabarrus Avenue. <br /> <br /> Attorney John Boger stated the legislature was considering the open <br />meeting law and increasing the penalty to a criminal action. He felt this <br />was too severe and that civil action was sufficient. <br /> <br /> Chairman Hawfield stated he had received a letter from Senator Helms <br />asking for recommendations of any outstanding high school juniors who might <br />like to attend a military academy. <br /> <br /> Upon motion of Commissioner Hammett, seconded by Commissioner Cook and <br />carried, meeting adjourned. <br /> <br />Clerk ~o the Board <br /> <br /> <br />
