APPOINTMENT COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR - Vice-Chairman Harriss read the following statement citing the need for a person who can give supervision to County business and reporting that such a person had consented to mal~e himself available for the position: "The necessity for closer coordination and more detailed supervision of the County~s many activities has been apparent to us all for sometime. Under present law, we cannot turn over to a manager complete responsibility for management of these activities such as in a council-manager plan of government; and in our case this may not be desirable. "What is reaily needed is a person r~ho can give daily supervision, under direction of the Board of Commissioners, to County business; a person who can seek out avenues of financial support for our locality which both Federal and State funds provide under many programs; who can report quickiy and fully to the Commis- sioners and establish and maintain a more efficient over211 operation. Improve- ment wouid result in ways toonumerous to list here. "We have had to delay choice of such a person because, by its very nature, the post requires a person having intimate knowledge of county oovernment in oeneral and IVew Hanover County and the problems peculiar to it in particular. It requires a person of demonstrated ability in this field and of recognized administrative capacity. "It is the pleasant task of Chairman Hall and myself to report to you that a person fully meeting these exacting qualifications has consented to make him- self available for this position. He is Mr. Laurence 0. Bowden, native Wil- mingtonian and former County Commissioner." Nr. Harriss moved, seconded by Mr. Williams, that the post of County Administrator be created with a salary of $9,950 per annum with an automobile allowance of $1,500 per annum and a payment of 9d per mile for use of the automobile on trips outside of the County on County business.

MENTAL HEALTH, PROPOSED MOVE - Mr. Homer Davis, Vice-Chairman, Mental Health Advisory Board; Mrs. Alice von Oesen, Secretary, Mental Health Advisory Board; and Mr. John Wilson; Executive Director, Mental Health Clinic, appeared at the meeting to discuss proposed move from their present location to a bvilding owned by New Hanover Memorial Hospital; known as the "Dosher Building'~. The Board was informed that the Mental Health Clinic would have to spend between $2,626 and $3,676 to renovate the building in order to make it suitabie for their needs. In addition, New Hanover Nemorial Hospital is charging $200 per month rental for the building. After discussing the matter, the Commissioners came to the conclusion that they did not think spending money on property belonging to someone else was feasible unless it could be deducted from the rent. The possibility that one of the County owned buildings at James Walker Hospital can be used by the clinic was discussed. Mr. Wilson said the Clinic could continUe operation at its present site for a few months lonoer. The group from the clinic was requested to investigate whether or not one of the bvildings at James Walker Hospital can be used. Also, they were requested to negotiate with the New Hanover Memorial Hospital with the thought of deducting the money required to be spent renovating the Dosher Building from the rent charged by the hospital: MEMBERSHIP, MENTAL HEALTH ADVISORY BOARD Membership on the Advisory Board was discussed and Mrs. von Oesen said they would like to increase the membership to sixteen.

Mr. Williams suggested that this be placed on the agenda for the next meeting at the morning session and that it be decided then whether plats should be sold down to 7Z or 10 acres before placing on the books as lots. The status now is when a plat is put on the record it is by lot. Mr. Fox advised it would have to be effective January 1, 1970 and might be an inducement for many to put piats on record in December knowing it would be as acreage instead of lots.
