CONMNITY PLANNING BOARD - Mr. Richard A. Shew, one of the Countyls representatives on the Community Planning Board, reported that in his opinion the present road system under consideration for development in the area of the proposed New Hanover N,emorial Hospital and the pro- posed school in the same general area would not lend itself to the most desirable access- ibility or to the best possible future development of the property. He recalled that on January 20th, 1958, the Board had referred the matter of relinauishing any interest they might have had in a right-of-way for the extension of Live Oak Parkway to Shipyard Boulevard to the County Attorney for recommendations. He has checked with the State H3ghway Commission and they advised him that so far as they were concerned they had no interest. After a brief question and answer discussion, the County Attorney ruled that the County Commissioners did riot have any leoal status•or authority in the matter. The Chairman suggested that.tit might be well to call a meeting of all parties concerned with the problem. He and Mr. Broadhurst, as representatives of the Board on Highways taill contact the State Highrfay Commission. Nr. Metts will seek an expression from the Hosp- ital Board of Trustees. The County Attorney will look further into the legal status of the County with reference to closing dedicated streets or roads. • IREGISTRATION - CODIDITIONAL SALES CONTRACT The County Attorney reported that he had made an investigation relative to the request of the Register of Deeds of Cabarrus County for seeking legislation in the next General Assembly for repealing the 5tatutes requiring automobile contracts to be recorded in the Motor Uehicies Department rather than in the County where the purchase was made. He found that since •`E?a-}tr?-}?._??}.}??? the liens follow the title certificates, ?i the automobile dealers prefer the present law. In the past, it was confusing to have ' a conditional sales contract reoistered in one County while the title certificate showed I an address in another. He would not recommend any effort be made to support the repeal. By common consent, the Board unanimously agreed on this recommendation. =3 r .r ? , li M , 4 Minutes of the M¢etina Febru196"t TAX COLLECTOR'S REPORT - ? The City-County Tax Coilector reported that through ,lanuary 31, 1963 the total tax levy charged to him amounted to $2,342,741.61 and that he had collected $2,022;214.34 leaving a balance to be collected of $320,527.27. By common consent,' the Board ordered the report filed for reference. i . • COUNTY HOME CARE - ' / • The Chairman read a letter sent to him from the New Hanover County Medical ? Society in response to one addressed to them from Mrs. Herbert Bleuthenthal, Secretary of•the Board of Directors of the New Hanover County Home. The Board of Directors are of the opinion that periodic medical care should be provided for the residents of the County Home and that it would require the part time services of a reoular physician. After discussing this problem briefly, the Board unanimously aoreed that the matter ' should be referred back to the Board of Directors of the County Home for recommendations. The New Hanover County Medicai Society stated that they had alw2ys given their services freely to the Out-Patient Clinics and to the medically indigent patients and pledged ' their continued cooperation in this•field of service. The Executive Secretary'was author- ized to send this correspondence to the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Courity Home alona with a record of todayls action. PUBLIC WELFARE CHAATGES - The Chairman called attention of the Board to a letter which he had received ? f.rom the Acting Commissioner of the State Board of Public Welfare calling attention to seme developments in the Public Welfare Program resulting from 1962 Amendments to the Federal Laea. It wiil now be necessary to classify all Public Assistance cases uihich Urill be required beginning July 1, 1963 to receive Federal Funds. It is hoped that the study of eligibility in aid to families with dependent children might be included in the survey during the three months, February - April. All classifications must be completed before July 1, 1963 in order to receive the increased Federal matching funds. After this survey, it will be necessary to develop a staffing,pattern for each County to meet the Federal standards. This will.be used to determine the.number of additional case. workers, supervisors and clerical positions which will be required. For the cases re- ceiving special services, the case load will be limited to 60 per worker. There.must be one supervisor for no more than 5 workers and one clerical person will ordinarily be at the_ratio of one for each two professional people. For case loads of cases not.re- quiring special services, it should be no larger than they are at present. It is hoped that any aiiditional staff required to meet these standards can be,employed during the 4th quarter of•the current fiscal year. In order to get the full benefits of the pre- ventive and rehabilitative services, it is imperative to have an adequate staff on the job. Counties will continue to set the salary levels under the Merit System Plan. AUDITOR - SEMIANNUAL REPORT . ' 11 County Auditor Love reported that as of December 31, 1962 the total tax col- lections-amounted to $1,712,229.53 and it represented 66% of the total estimated revenues. I He reported that in general the expenditures were well in line with the appropriations I and that the financial condition of the County was excellent. After discussing the mat- , , ter, the Board directed the Executive Secretary to invite Tax Collector Sam W. Johnson to meet with the Board at their next regular session with reference to the Back Tax Co1= lections. • REPORTS. - - The following report was.reviewed and ordered filed for information: • ' 1- Christmas Bureau Annuai Report for 1962.
