SPECIAL INDEPENDENT AUDIT - " Pursuant to instructions at the last regular meeting, Messrs, J. C. Bowman, District Solicitor and William C. Barfield, C.P.A. were invited to meet with the Board this morning. Mr. Barfield reported that he was,engaged to make a detailed audit of the Recorder's Court Records for the.period during which the suspended Deputy Clerk Liston W. Humphrey was in office. So far he has completed approximately 50% of the work necessary to determine the exact amount of the discrepancies, if any, and the total accumulated cost now amounts to $8,500.00. Mr. Bowman then explained that he would likl to know how much money came into the Recorder's Court Office during tt1at period and how much was paid out as, in his opinion, it is the only way to establish thetamount to be collected from a bonding company, if any. He also requested that a copy of the audit .be provided him for study when it is completed. In response to a question from Mr. I Mayhan, the Solicitor remarked that so far as he remembered he did not originally requesl an audit but only suggested that one be made. The Cha;rman thanked Messrs. Barfield I and Bowman for their willingness to inform the Board of their progress. af See Page 383? COUNTY AUDITOR REQUEST - County Auditor T. D. Love, Jr., stated that because of the large increase , in the number of items to be handled in his office he is in need of an additional clerk, a desk and chair and two adding machines. He requested the Board for approval to purchale this equipment and employ one additional person. Chairman Hail had left the meeting ? by this time and the Vice Chairman was presiding and suggested that a full Board should ' be present before authorizing this action. 'i CLERK OF SUPERIOR COURT Mr. H. Foster Edwards, Clerk of Superior Court, appeared before the Board ; and requested approval for tao additional telephones in the Recorder's Court Office, He stated that it would cost only $1':75 each*per month with an installation charge of $4.00 each. After considering this request, the Board asked him to examine his Budget I and see if he had sufficient funds already appropriated to cover this additional expense,,and,if not, to review some of the other items to see if some funds might be shifted wiih". in the Budget to take care of it. He will report back at the next meeting. I ROA?

After due.consideraLion, Mr. Broadhurst moved that they be approved and that the Executive Secretary be instructed to send them to the State Highway Commission for their consideration. It was seconded by Mr. Braak and unanimously approved. WASHOUT REPAIR Mr. J. H. Ligon, through the Executive Secretary, presented a photograph of a washout in front of 5007 Park Avenue which is east of Wallace Avenue. During the discussion of the matter, it was brought out that the County did not participate in the maintenance of roads or streets and that unless it was an accepted street or road into the State maintained Secondary Road System they covld only repair it as a special pro- ,ject. The Executive Secretary was authorized to write the State Highway Commission and present the probiem and ask if they could, under their program, remedy the situationJ JOINTLY OWNED TAX FORECLOSED PROPERTY - The Executive Secretary reported that he had a firm offer of $600.00 for ? some jointly owned tax foreclosed lots in Block 229 which have been appraised by the County Property Appraisors as having a fair market value of $1430.00.

C.'1 BEACH EROSION - HURRICANE PROTECTION A letter was received from the Town of Caroiina Beach asking the Board to make payment of the funds appropriated for participation in the Beach Erosion and Hur- ? ricane Protection Project, the Countyts share amounting to $33,120.00. After consid- eration of this matter, the Board, by common consent, decided to table the request until'i they hear further from the Corps of Engineers. They authorized the Executive Secretary to write the Town of Carolina Beach and advise them that fhe funds are already allocatedl and available upon short notice. The County Attorney suggested that the check for the funds be made payable to the U. S. Teasury. r. r ` 381 Minutes of the Meeting October 5, 196 Continued --_.-- -- - _- - The Corps of Engineers presented an application for a permit to construct a pier adjoining the Atlantic Coastai Waterway, 1651 south of the drawbridge at Wrights- Iville Sound and a permit to lower a submarine dual gas line under the Northeast Cape Fear River, 6,800' north of the Hilton Railroad Bridge. After a brief consideration, the koard decided they had no objection to these requests and authorized the Executive Secre- tary to act accordingly. PUBLIC WELFARE REQUEST - Mr. Peter H. Braak, Chairm?n of the Public Welfare Board, accompanied by the other members, Messrs. F. P. Fenselan N. P. Barefoot, read the following request which - ',is self-explanatory: The Welfare Board was not aware that the County Commissioners had deleted two Child Welfare positions and are asking that this act.ion be reconsidered. The depart- ment has not been able to fill the vacant positions because we could not obtain quali- fied social workers (2 years craduate training beyond college). Therefore, we have been having to do our child welfare work with Public Assistance workers. This means alorkers who have four years college and are employed through Public Assistance Budpet. Therefore, 60 % of these caseloads must be Public Assistance in order to get Federal money. The State and Federal governments:participate 52% in these salaries. In Child Welfare salaries, Federal government pays 100% the first year and 85% thereafter. So, to reestablish two positions would not cost the County additional money for 1964 and 1965. ? One of our Public Assistance workers, Miss Anne k'hite, has entered Columbia University School of Social workto prepare herself for a Child Welfare position. She was to return next June to fill the Child Welfare Worker II position during summer ? months with salary $5364.00 and to return to college for the second year, to return to the agency in June, 1966 as Senior Child ldelfare Case Worker. It shouid be noted I in changing a?Child Welfare Case Worker to a Senior Child Weifare Case Worker that the Federal government will pay 100% of the salary the first year and then drop back to 85% thereafter. We have the possibility of employing a fully trained Child Welfare Worker, which means that another county has granted educational leave and this county would benefit by not having to grant educational leave. Classification and salary wou2d be Lhat of a Senior Child Welfare Case -worker at $620400, again the Federai government would pay 100% in salary for the first year and 85% thereafter. ? Let's look at why we need trained workers who do not have to be bogged down with Public Assistance caseloads but who can devote full time to Child Weifare services. ? The agency's Adoption Program has increased from four or five to. a continuing caseload of sixty-seven cougles. (These are 5ood deserving taxpayers, some of whom are biy tax-payers). It, has been necessary. because of neglect of children to place, as of August 196(}, 65 children in Foster Home care. The children needed to be re- II moved from their own homes and had to be. But because of lack of staff, it was impossible for us to work toward reestablishing the home or placing the children with relatives. Also, we lacked staff to supervise the homes after children were returned I and this is a mandate or you just have the children back in foster hoines. As of June ls.t, our to.tal Foster Home cost was $3,093.39 per month with the State paying $1,454•91. This does not include cost of clothing, medical'care and school expenses, which is all county money. As of the ist of October, the total amount paid out to Foster Home parents was $2,490.50 with the State payittg $1,245.19. Again, this does not include clothing, medical care and school expenses. This has come about because we now have two trained workers on our. staff but they cannot devote full time to Child Welfare. services, as each carries supervisory responsibilities. Even with decrease in cost p and number of children, 9 new children were placed in foster care. So, without their efforts our Foster Home program would have increased from 65 children to 74 children, but we're happy to know that at the end of September it stood at 51 children. ' Our Juvenile Court work for the county and our reports of neg2ect are not covered as well as they should be, Last week we received three reports of neolect but because of lack of staff, as of Friday, October 2nd, the situation had not been investigated. It reminds us of the Lee Oswald situation. It was known that he needed heip but appar- ; ently no one had the time to work with him. We also know that if we can get to these inadequate families in time before they blow, that the tax-payer is saved in a multi- tude of ways - we avoid foster home placement, Juvenile court, and later Superior Court, prison and births out-of-wedlock and the multitude of sins created by failures of not providing adequate services to families and children, ?fter studying the above request, Mr. Braak offered a motion that the Board approve the re- . instatement of the two Child Welfare Workers originally requested in'.the Builget, but deleted at Budget discussion time, at no cost to the County. It was seconded by Mr. Mayhan and lunanimously approved. , APPROPRIATION N - The County Auditor informed the Board that if the two Child Welfare Workers were employed it would be necessary for them to make an appropriation even though it would not 'be County funds. Mr. Braak then moved that funds in the amount of $8,673.00 be appropriat- ed from Unanticipated Funds to the Welfare-Salary Accounty to cover the cost. It was second- - ed hy Mr. Mzyhan with the understanding that it would be at no cost to the County. The vote was unanimously in favor of it. IINDEPENDENT AUDIT APPROPRIATION - Mr. Metts remarked that there is a good possibility when the independent audit of the Recorder's Court records is completed that it would be necessary to appropriate some additional funds for that purpose. He suggested that the Board consider an additional $5,000.00 be appropriated from the General Emergency Fund to the Special Independent Audit Account making a total of up to $15,000 for this purpose. Mr. Braak offered a motion that this suggestion be approved. It was seconded by Nr. Broadhurst and unanimously adopted. L' H 11 J ???z = M;[nutes of the_N'eetinq October 5, 196h Continued -. ? ,-__ - - PUBLIC WELFARE DEPARTMENT OFFICE HOURS - ? ? A letter was received from the Chairman of the Public Welfare Board report- ing that the Welfare Department will be closed each Thursday afternoon to.the public except for emergencies. He explained that this step,is necessary in order to expedite the increased paper work required by the Federal government. The case work staff will work as usual in and out of the office but the other staff inembers will remain at their desk during the time that the office is closed. ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY PROGRAM - The Executive Secretary reported that the following persons had'been appointec by the Chairman to represent the County at the Economic Opporturiity Conference scheduled in Hemenway Hall for today and tomorrow: Mr. Charies H. Boney Mr. Maicolm J. McLeod Mr. Robert T. Chestnut Mr. F. Flagg Newcomb ? Mr. F. P. "Pete" Fensel Dr. Wm. H. Wagoner Mr. J. M. Hall, Jr. Mr. Talmadge O. Page Mr. Emsiey A. Laney Miss Lela Moore fiall Mr. Mayhan then offered a motion that they be appro ved. It was seconded by Mr. Broadhurs t and unanimously carried. J TAX SUPERVISORIS SCHOOL The Executive Secretary reported that the Institute of Government had schedu-I1 led a course of instruction for Tax Supervisors and other Tax Office personnel who might profit from further training. It is an extensive course of 26 hours of instruction and is not a convention. It is scheduled for a fiae day period beginning October 12th at 10:30 A. M. and runing through October 16th to 12'i30 A.

Mr. M. H. Vaughan was recognized to ask a question. IIHe stated that he had asked for and had been furnished copies of audit reparLs from 1954 bthrough June 30, 1962. He asked the Chairman if anyone could tell him where the audit re- Iport for the fiscal year June 30, 1963 could be found. Mr. Barfield, a Certified Public Accountant, who had been engaged to audit the records of the County Auditor for that year, ;explained that due to illness, the County Auditor's Staff had been unduly delayed in effect- „ ing the closing of the records for the year ended June 30, 1963 and preparing its internal I report which was essential to the completion of Mr. Barf3eld's audit: (Ninutes of May 4, 1964, Page 326, Reports Filed, Item I). He further called attention to the fact that in ?the meantime and prior to the completion and delivery of the County Auditorts internal re- port', alleged discrepancies in the records of the Recorders Court were called to his and the•public's attention aild that under the circumstances, it was not deemed prudent to com- ip'lete his report until the effect on the county records of alleged discrepancies in the Re- corder's Court could be ascertained. u . iiI
