1965-03-01 Regular Meeting.? Minutes of the Meeting February 15, 1965 Continued SERVICE ESTIMATE - ACCOUIVTING MACHINE ' The Tax Supervisor reported to the Board that the accounting machine being used in the Tax Office had given considerable trouble last year and that he had learned that about two years ago between $500.40 and $600.00 was spent on it as a"stop-gap" measure. He presented a service estimate made by the National Cash Register Company who had manufactured the machine amounting to $1,683.72. Mr. Vaughan raised the question as to whether or not this came under the maintenance agreement. It was dis- covered that the machine had been in use since January 1952 and that the maintenance agreement does not apply afterthe machine is 10 years old. After discussing this matter with the manufacturer's agent, it was found that any maintenance on a machine more than 10 years old was not covered at all and that on service to keep the machine ? operating was billed on a time and material basis. It is the recommendation that from a dollar and cents standpoint, as well as from the system's angle, the County would' perhaps be better off to trade the old equipment rather than overhaul it.

Smith, a citiZen 4rho lives on the River Road was recognized by trie Chairman and stated that there were several old'ditches in the neighborhood which were filled with sLanding water on which a green scum has developed. Durino the re- I cent warm spell, the mosquitos wer.e breedina there and, in her opinion, it is an un- i sanitary condition. She stated that Nr. W. H. Cranford, the Sanitarian in the Health Department, had inspected the area and declared it the worst drainage problem in the Coud•Ly. The Chairman thanked her for her report and advised that the matter be dis- cussed at the next Board of Health meeting to be held on Wednesday, March 3rd, Mr. Vaughan r¢marked that he thought the Executive Secretary should confer with Mr. Cran- ford and find out why, if it is the worst drainage problem in the County, something has not been done about it long before this time. The=Board approved this suggestion by common consent. THEATER ADVERTISING - ' Mr. C. B. McCandless, accompanied by Mr. O. K. Pr3dgen, Sr., was recognizedll, by the Chairman and stated that he wanted to commend the Board of Commissioners for passing their Resolution aaainst the trend of motion picture theaters to outdo each other with flagrant, lewd and lascivious advertisicig. There is anoLher field which he thinks deserves to be censored and that is in the realm of maga2ines. He reported ii that a committee of citizens, thr.ough the Sheriffts department, attempted to banish some of the so called "Prt" maga2ines but that it was taken before the Supreme Court, iaho ruled against such praCtices, but even at that he uraed this Board to go on record as leaders in a community effort to boycott the sales of such harmful literature. ]ie cited an example of young school children leavina the school bus and immediately runninc to the magazine• racks in the nearby stores and picking out the most lurid looking pictures on the front of the magazines. Mr. Vaughan r¢marked that if, such action can not be stopped by law, the parents should make an effort to protect their children against such unsavory information. Mr. O. H. Pridgen oras then recognized by the Chair man and explained that he was not the Pridgen who holds a public ofFice and does not have a bill to present for payment but that he would like to aiso commend the Commiss- ioners for their good job and urged them to clean up the sex advertisements which are I contaminating our young people and suggested that they take some action on the numerous iiquor advertisements appearing in our local newspaper. The Chairman thanked him for his interest but suggested that he come back at the next meeting for a further discus- sion of that problem and that the Executive Secretary would work out the time for him to appear at the next meeting. Mr. Pridgen thanked him for this privilege. ? COUNTY LAND LEASE - Mr. Albert D. Cox Jr. appeared before the Board and expiained that the ex- pansinn of the runways being made at the Airport made it necessary for him to dispose of some of his productive land. He reported that Mr. Braak, some time ago, had sbarted the ball rolling to oet a food grocessing plant for New Hanover County. Ne has obli- , gated himself to supply the vegetabl.es for the plant and will need approximately 80 I acres of tillable land to produce the commodities. He proposes to either purchase land now owned by the County or is wiliing to lease it on a five year term lease at an I agreed rental of $10.06 per acre per year. He estimates that the County has appr.ox- imately 40 acres of tiilable land at the Airport and County Farm site and approximated,v 40 acres at the Blue Clay Farm which would be sufficient for him to produce the commod- ities for which he has contracted. After a thorough discussion of this problem, Mr. Braak offered a motion that all the tillable land available for the Covnty be leased to Mr. A. D. Cox, Jr. for five years at $10.00 per acre with the stipulation in the aoree- ? ment that should an emergency arise which iqould make it necessary to change the lease, the County and Mr. Cox would negotiate a satisfactory reimbursement for capital improve- ments which he-had made on a pro rata basis. IL was seconded by Dr. Hooper and unani-', mously approved by the Board, ? BIDS - AIRPORT AIR CONDITIONING - Complying with instructions at the last meetino of the Board, Mr. Bowden reported that he has studied the various bids received for air conditioning the Airport Terminal Suilding and because of the variance of the-=speciEications'by'the severa,I' b:iddess,, he-recommends that all of the bids be re,jected and that the prolect be read- vertised for bids based on definite engineering design. After due consideration, Mr. Hall moved that-the Chairman be authorized to employ a qualified consulting engineer or architect to draw a design and write specifications for air conditioning the Airport Terminal, and that the project'be readve"rtised for bids. It was seconded by Mr. Vaugha? and unanimously adopted. I TELEPHOIVE SWITCHBOARD Complying with instructions r'esulting from the resolution at the last meeting suggesting an investigation into the possibility of installing a telephone switchboard for the County, Mr. L. O. Bowden introduced Mr. Ernest L. Savnders, Jr., an engineer , of the Southern Bell Telephone & Telegraph Company. Mr. Saunders explained that the I study for the proposed system originated with a request from the Public YJelfare Depart- I mentment in which he recommended one additional outside line and two telephones with a two-link inter-communication arrangement which would require a non-recurring service charge of $80.00 and a monthly increase in the telephone charges of $79.50. He explain,:d that he was first requested to make a study to see if it would be feasible to instail one system for both Lhe County and City government but since part of the service would require emergency 24 hour service and special handling combined with mileage costs and I operatorst salaries it would make the combined system prohibitive. He then proposed a recommendation for a centralized telephone system located in the Gourt House. He presented a breakdown by departments of his proposal for dial equipment installed under a five year contract wi.th a minimum of $2,600 00 reduceable by 1/60 for each month in service. The equipment would require a room 8 x 8?1. The net additional cost per mont;i woald be $113.73. a'A,A3* The non- recurring instailation charge would.be $50.00. The proposed system would require an , operator who could perform other work between the phone calls that would more than pay for the extra cost of the empioyee. The Register of Deeds, E. P. Blanchard, Jr, was recognized and suggested that before a decision is made, a briefing of the depart- ment heads might be profitable to see if the change would be of help in their particulariI department. After considering the pros and cons of this proposal, Mr. Vavghan offered a motion that the proposal be accepted ar.d studied by the Commissioners during the next I two weeks and that Mr. Sdunders be asked to write a one page letter setting aut the costs and benefits. It was seconded by Mr. Nall and unanimously carried. \ 5 444? Minutes of the Meeting March 1, 1965 Continved ICOUNTY AIRPORT - CONTROL T014ER Mr, Bowden reported that in compliance with the action taken by the Board of ICommissioners on July 6, 1964 in which they individually agreed to construct additional office space at the Air Traffic Control Tower at the New Hanover County Airport, presented a sketch of the additional floor space needed and attached a list of the general speci- fications that would-be suitable: It is•estimated that they will need approximately 680 sq, ft. e?hich is esttmated wou2d cost between $6,000 and $7,000 Por which they would pay annual rental of $2,25 per sq. ft. After some consideration of this proposal, it was decided, by common consent, to inc.lude an estimate for this wark in the next annval I Bvdget, The Chairman was authorized to discuss the matter with a competent architect and have ali plans and specifications ready for advertising and lettina as soon after Ju2y 2st as possibte. . 'AIRPORT MUSEUM ? Mr. John A. Westbrook, Manaqer of Blvethenthal Field, reported that the New Hanover Flying Association, proposed building an octagonal museum 3214" in diameter near 'the Terminal, at no cost to the County. After some•:discussion, Mr. Vavghan moved that the plans be approved with the understanding that the Airport Committee inspect the plans and site and make recommendations. It was seconded by Mr. Hall and unanimously carried. iAIRPORT PARHING LOT Airport Manager John A. Westbrook presented a proposal for extending the public parY,ing lot on the south side of the Airport Terminal, as well as a small portion at the north end of the Terminai for the use of the employees, He reports that the approximate , size would be 1001 by 108l by 138t x 168t and provide 75 parking spaces, and it would re- , quire very little capita2 outlay becavse fo the fact that the base raaterial has already been put down. The only requirement at present would•be scraping off the top and leveling ?Ia few 10w places in it. By common consent, the Board approved the proposal but would have to defer actlon on the paving until the next Budget time. I COUNTY AIRPORT - COA1TROL TOIJER I Mr. Nall remarked that before leaving the sub,ject of the Airport he 4aould like to see a more definite stand taken with reference to the additionto the Contro2 Tower since it was promised by the Board last year and offered a motion that the Chairman pro- I ceed with plans and specifications for adding to the Control Tower in order to be ready to buiId it as sooa as possib2e after the Bvdget is approved, It was secanded by Mr. Braak, During the discussion, the County Attorney advised the Board that they should not make a contract before an appropriation is made for accomplishing the work.'

This is particularly true on ldest- bound traffic at night rrhich Lurns into Wallace Avenue from Oleander Drive. He recom- mended that a caution light of some kind be installed at this point and suggested that a flasher-light would be ,very helpful.

It was seconded by Mr. Braak and unanimously passed. TAX ASATEMENT The Tax Supervisor presented a letter iahich he had received from an attor- ney representing Mrs. Emmett M. Bellamy requesting the abatement of taxes which she had paid on _her portion of some property since 1957, when it was condemned by the United States of America.

AZALEA FESTIVAL BAND - The Chairman reported that he had received a call informing him that it had been customary 3n the past for the City and County to furnish a Band at the ,joint City and County Luncheon sponsored by them during the Azalea Festival. The cost of the Band for this service is $200.00 of which the City has agreed to pay $100.00 and he requests the County to pay $100.00. The Chairman suggested that this sort of expense should be included in the Budget in his opinion. Mr. Hall then offered a motion that the County share in this expense in the amount of $100.00. It was seconded by Mr. Braak and passed by a ma,jority vote. Dr. Hooper did not vote. ? TAX EQUALIZATION PROGRAM The Tax Supervisor advised the Board that he had been in touch with three of the nearby firms who might be interested in biddino on the County's Tax Equaliza- h tion Program scheduled for completion not later than January 1, 1967. One of the firms; promised to send a representative: to discuss the planning and Tax Equalization Program and will give us two or three days notice ahead of his scheduled viSit in order that as many members of the Board as can conveniently do so can participate in the discus- sion. The Tax Supervisor recommends that a decision be made on plans and specifica- tions not later than May lst so that we might advertise for .bids to be opened during the month of June and the contract awarded not later than July 1, 1965'so that the firm receiving the contract iaill have plenty of time to complete it without being forced into a "crash program". SERVICE ESTIMATE - ACCOUNTING M/aCHINE • The Tax Supervisor reported that he had again contacted the manufacturers of the accounting machine used in the Tax Office which is in need of an overhaul ,job; which is estimated to cost $1,683,72. At the last meeting, the Board was under the impression that it was covered under a maintenance aoreement. The service manager ex- plained that after the first ten years of life in any of their machines they do not issue maintenance agreements. He said that even if we spend the estimated amount of repairs for the overhaul job it wouid not restore the machine to more than an annual agreement or warranty for defective parts. He advised that his company wovld be Wi1l- ing to rent a machine for approximately $150.00 per month. Since the County is can- templating the instailation of a data processing center, he recommends that the County give consideration.to the rental rather than repairing the machine. After some dis- cussion, Dr. Hooper'offered a motion that tkiis maintenance agreement be referred to the County Attor.ney for study to definitely determine if our present machine could conceiv- ably be repaired under its stipulations. It was seconded by Mr. Braak and unanimously passed. BEER PERMITS - The following applications for Beer Permits were reviewed and apon motion of Nr.

This year, the Board of County Commissioners is scheduled to meet with the Williston High School in a regular ? meeting at 9:30 A.

On the ? same day, between the hours of 4 and 5 o'clock, the counterparts wovld visit with the , actual officials they represented for an on the scene experience.
