.1WENILE DETENTION HOME
-
Juvenile Judge H. FosLer Edwards reported his recommendations for improvement at the Juvenile Detention Home as follows:
"First of all, I am sure our major concern is i,rhat suggestions can be offered--,i
in fact, what is best for the juvenile authorities, the iuvenile defendahts, and
the county at large. ?
No..1.I suggest that the budget for the coming year earmark funds for the con-
struction of a children's home that will meet, in so far as possible, practical,
and economical, the recommendations of the State Board of Public Welfare.
• No.2:.I recommend that the home be'so constructed and so updated as to meet
ail forseeable requirements for the coming decades. No.3. My f3na1•recommendation is that th.e present home be kept open and in '
operation; that necessary repairs,be.madeto keep it comfortable and useable until
a new home is completed. ?
! In conclusion, I suggest to this board that no definite decisions be made toda?ll
? as I understand•the Jaycees and the Community Covnci'1 -- both of these public spirit!ed
organizations, have shown intense and intelligent interest in this problem -- have
, made their presentation concerning the detention home."
MINIMUM STANDARDS FOR DETENTION HOMES
A.. BUILDINGS
The building used for secure custody 'should have adequate secvrity features.
It must conform to building standards of the State Insurance Department for
the type of facility. It must roeet sanitation and fire inspection standards.
Fdr small detention homes, a family type home meeting detention requirements
is recommended. It should have facilities for a couple and for a relief per-
son. It must have separate sleeping rooms for boys and girls.
In larger detention homes, if the number of chiidren is sufficient to warrant
it, the living accomodati.ons should be divided into small units, where children
may be grouped in accordance with their particular treatment needs. There
should be a sleeping room for each child with a minimum of 700 cubic feet of
space. Toilets and lavatories for each room are recommended. When it is
necessary to piace two children in a room, there must be a minimum of 60 squarei
feet of floor space per child or 500 cubic feet of space per child. Larger
rooms, ho4rever, are recommended. I
The larger detention homes should have classroom facilities. Each home shovld
have dining facilities. Suitable quarters should be set aside for children
who are ill and who require bed care but not hospital care. ,
Each home should contain ample space for three types oE indoor activities:
1. Recreation
2. Crafts or projects
3• Reading or quiet activities
The areas for these acti.vities should be arranged so that they can be used
simultaneously and yet be under visual*and direct supervisory control at the,
same time.
. . .
Special provision for disturbed children shoulde be available.
B• OUTDOOR RECREATION'SPACE
Outdoor space should be ample in size and contain paved areas. It should have
an ample supply of fixed and movable play equipment.

C. LOCATION
The most desirable location is near the edge of the county's principal
city provided the following pr-inciples of locating detention homes are
foliowed:
' 1. The site shovld be large enough to protect•the, home from interference
' from passers-by and those who attempt to contact children through the fence
and by calling at the windows. The outdoor pla?r area should be large enouah
for soft ball and to shield the fenced recreation space by appropriate screen I
9 pjant.ino,
2. A detention home'should never be built in the depressino atmosphere of
slum; delinquency, or industrial ateas. It should not be attached to or ,j
in the generai area of a jail or prison unit of any type. d,
' 3. The site should be reasonably dista,nt from other dwellings so that neioh-
bors will not be disturbed by noisy children or those admitted late at nicht.
l}. Convenient access to main centers'of population by pub2ic transportation
so that parents, social workers, and others concerned can easily reach the
•home. • •
5. A site ample enouoh to afford protection from future buildinc encroach-
ments and to allow for juvenile court and, where necessary; probation
offices to be constructed on the same property."
He is particularly thrilled that the people of the County are taking such an intense in-
terest in this worthy enterprise and are showing their willingness to cooper2te. By com-
? mon consent, the Board accepted the report and Lhe recommendations for further study.
HUGH NacRAE PARK
Messrs. T. L. Brinson, President of the Winter Park Recreation League and
W. H. Younger, President of the Winter Park Optimist Club, appeared before the Board with
a request that an adequate water system be inst211ed at Huoh MacRae Park. They presented
the following formal request:
"We, the undersigned groups, request_and petition that New Hanover County install
and maint2in a well, pump, and acc'essories necessary to provide a dependable and ade-
quate water supply in the Little Leaoue Baseball area of.Hugh MacRae Park.
!are further reauest that sufficient underground piping be instailed to provide
at least one water f'aucet in the playino area of each baseball field.
The immediate purpose, of course, is to provide a water supply sufficient to
"wet-down" the playing fields and water the grass: '
The new system should be adequate to'meet future needs. Anticipated needs in-
clude an additional playing field, rest rooms, and an enlarged concession building.
Your prompt consideration of this matter.is appreciated."
After a brief 'consideration, the Board.unanimousiy agreed to study this matter during the
' Budget Discussion period. They instructed the Executive Secretary to place it in line
at that ti'me.

TAX FORECLOSED PROPERTY - ,
The Executive Secretary recalled that on December 19, 1960, the,Board had
approved the negotiation vrith the Redevelopment Commission, the prices of ,jointly owned
tax foreclosed property in the urban renewal area amono which was part of Lots 6 and 7
in Block 303, described as being 33' x 681 between 2nci & liarnett Sts., fronting on
2nd St, He has had the lot appraised by the CounGyrlyAroperty Appraisors who placed a
fair market value of $400.00 on the lot. The Attorney:for the Redevelopment Commissio ,
Ronald D. Rowe., advises that Mr. R. L. Foy, the original-owner of this lot, claims that
he was in the State at the time of the foreclosure but was:not served with notice as
required by law and therefore contests the rioht of the County and the City to dispose
of this lot because of defect in the titie. He is wiiling to sign a Warranty deed to
the Redevelopment Commission provided he receives one-half of the purchase price aqreed
upon. The attorney is recommending a price of $1+50.00 which means that if accepted,
, the oriainal owner would receive $225.00 and the City and County $225.00. The City has
a 61% in the property which means they would receive $137.25 and the County's 39%
interest would amount to $87.75. The County Attorney is familiar with this case and
? recommended that the compromise settlement be accepted. Upon motion of Mr. Braak,
I seconded by Mr. Mayhan, the Board unanimously aareed to the settlement on a 50 - 50
basis.
WELFARE LIEN
Mr. Addison Hewlett, Jr., representing Cornelius E. Nixon, Jr., stated that
they were interested in clearing up a lien amounting to $1332.00 held by the Public
Welfare Department against 7 acres of land formerly owned by Johanna $allard Nixon
(Case # 1}680). The fair market value of the property, as appraised by the County
Property Appraisors, is $1,000. Mr. Hewlett was anxious for his client to clear it
up as cheaply as possible because he is a son of the original ox,mer and would like to
keep the property in the family. Mr,. Braak reported that the Public Welfare Board has?
considered this lien and it is their recommendation and understanding that all of the
property covered by Public Welfare liens must be sold at public auction with the beginn ng
bid at the appraisal value. The County Attorney agreed that this method was one way
of clearing it up but thought that further consideration should be given the matter
before taking definite action today.
RQAD PETITION
A petition was received from the property owners living on Bedford Forest
Drive in the Pine Valley Estates, Section 7, requesting that it be added to the State
maintained Secondary Road System. Upon motion of Mr. Braak, seconded by Mr. Mayhan,
the Board unanimously approved the petition and ordered the Executive Secretary to
forward it to the State Highway Commission in the regular manner,

Attendance Registration - The monthly newsletter from the General Counsel
stated that the registration fee has been fixed by the Board of Directors at $28.00
for the County Officials and $18.00 for wives which covers the Get Acquainted Hour on
Sunday evening and the luncheons and dinners both Monday and Tuesday. He suggested
that if the registration fee was sent in to the Association Office in advance, it vould
save registration time. Messrs. Braak, Hall, Metts, and Tillery indicated their inten•
tion of going while Mr. Mayhan would make his decision later. The Executive Secretary
was authorized to secure registrations for those definitely going.
SCHOOL APPROPRIATION -
? A letter was received from the Superintendent of Schools advising that as a
consequence of the Industrial Education Center being organized as a corporate body,
a request was made to transfer $10,000 from the Industriai Education Center Budget to
the Vocational Educational Item under the New Hanover County Board of Education's
Regular B{idget. At the time the transfer was made, reimbursement by the State of
North Carolina was not taken into consideration. They request that an appropriation
of this amount be made to the Budget for Vocational Salaries in the Regular School
Budget. The Auditor explained the oversight after which Mr. Mayhan offered a motion
that the appropriation be made as requested. It was seconded by Mr. Braak and unani-
mously approved.
TAX LISTING APPROPRIATION
The Tax Supervisor reported that the Auditor's Office informed him that
$1200.00 was needed in the Salary Account for the Tax Listing Office for finishing out
the fiscal year. On account of illness among the personnel, it has been necessary
to employ temporary help which exhausted the appropriation. Upon motion of Mr. Braak,
seconded by Mr. Mayhan, the Board unanimously approved an appropriation of $1200.00
from Unanticipated Funds to Tax Listing-Salaries.

ence to the maps proposed for New Hanover County showing the subdivisions and municipal-
ities in addition to all streets and roads and suggested that we order ten. After dis-
cussing this matter briefly, Mr. Braak moved that the County purchase seven maps, one
