COURT PROBLEMS - Honorable Judge Elbert S. Peele, Jr. presiding over the June term of New Hanover Superior Court, accompanied by the President of the Local Bar Association, and the Solicitor, Honorable James C. Bowman appeared before the Board and made the I following report. Judge Peele reported that he had a two-fold problem to which he had no exact solution. First, it is recognized that the court calendars are cluttered up ~ with old cases and the only solution that he can propose is a need for additional terms of Criminal Court to catch up on the court calendar. He says that the over-burdened calendar slows down the operation of the Court and that the Civil Court is very little different as an average of 100 cases is being added per month and that nothing like that~ number is being ~ischarged. He suggested that it might be well to begin to think in ' terms of two Courtrooms. The second big problem has to do with the Jury which he con- siders a serious one. He has noticed that the Jurors in New Hanover County are older than he finds in other places. He also has noted that fer~ young people are serving on the juries in this County. He cited that in the last jury of 50 names, only 24 were actually available for jury duty. He observed that he would not attempt to tell the Board how to correct this situation but he felt sure they were interested in findino a satisfactory solution. The Chairman explained that this Board had discussed the adopt- ion of a Jury Commission but was discouraged by the Resident Judge who was against it. I He reported that officials of the State Association of County Commissioners and the Institute of Government are of the opinion that the new Court Reform change which is iit progress will take care of the problem and that a Bill was prepared for presentation to this Legislature but not presented for the reasons stated above. Mr. Oliver Carter, i President of the Local Bar Association, observed that many factors enter into the work of the court and the case load is growing much faster than it is being handled and sug- gested that if two courts are being held during the same, it does not mean double cost to the County, however, there will be some extra expense, but that the backlog of cases I, is such that he feels that something should be done to expedite the Court calendar. The Chairman then asked Mr. Carter if he would accept the responsibility of making a stucly of the problem and bring some recommendations before the Board. He agreed to this pro- ' posal. Solicitor Bowman reported that he had asked for 4 extra terms during the first six mor.ths of the year and got 3 and had intended to ask for 4 during the last six months in an effort to clear up the calendar. NEW HANOVER MEMORIAL HOSPITAL - At the request of a member of the Board of Commissioners, Mr. Seymour L. Alpe , Chairman of the Board of Trustees for the New Hanover Memorial Hospital, reported that the progress on the construction of the $9,500,000 Hospitai was siowed down becavse of weather conditions back in the winter but that it is approximately 35% complete to date. He stated that their target date was October"5, 1966 for completion with occupancy by ~ January 1, 1967. He thin}cs it will require many night sessions to acquaint the employees with the new hospital set-up and new equiprr~ent. Mr. Vaughan remarked that he had heard many rumors and the cost of the hospitai which would affect the tax rate upward and he thinks it might be well for the hospital officials to come in and report their progress to the Board on a quarterly basis. Mr. Alper assured him that the Board of Trustees. would be olad to keep the Board of Commissioners advised at all timesof their progress. MENTAL HEALTH CENTER - Mr. Robert N. Kallman, Chairman of the Mental Health Advisory Board. presented' the proposed Mental Health Center Budget for the fiscal year 1965-66 which reflected a total increase of approximately $8,000 over last year. He announced that the Center has new become an 6rea Center inaarouch as Columbus County has decided to participate in the program. He pointed out that even though the increase in the total Budoet would show an ~ $8,000 increase, actually the net amount is $1},251.00 for the County as the revenues re- ceived will offset the other portion. He expressed the opinion that this is a sound Budget and the smail increase is in line with anticipated operational costs. He informed the Board of Commissioners that Mrs. Alice B. Sisson has been made Co-Chairman of the Advisory Council. ~ Advisorv Council Appointments - Mr. Kallman stated that the Columbus County Board of Commissioners has requested the appointment o£ two members from that Couniy to serve as members of the Mental Health Center Advisory Council, inasmuch as there are now only 11 members and the Board V/as set up for a total of 15. After 2 brief discussion, Mr. Vaughan offered a motion that the Columbus County Board of Commissioners be invited to recommend two persons for appointment to the Advisory Council of the Ment~l Health Area Center. It was seconded by Dr. Hooper and unanimously carried. COUNTY ATTORNEY The Chairman reminded the Board that Mr. L. Bradford Tillery had indicated at the meeting on April 5th his wish to rebsign as County Attorney. It is his opinion that Nr. Tillery has done an outstanding^and at the request of the Chairman, Mr. Tillery has agreed to continue in his position at the same salary until the first Monday in December. The Chairman stated that he had asked Mr. Tillery to keep a time sheet on his activities for the County, beginning July lst so that the Board may have information on which to evaluate the present compensation of the County Attorney and determine if it is adequate. He requested the Board to ratify this arrangement with Mr. Tillery and offered a motion that it be approved. It was seconded by Mr. Braak and when the ballot was taken, Mr. Vaughan requested that he be recorded as abstaining from voting but the other members of the Board voted favorably and the Chairman deciared the motion passed.

Boney appeared before the Board in behalf of some office space for the Director and his Secretary of Opportunities, Incorporated. He suggested that the vacant offices previously occupied by the A.B.C. Enforcement Offices would be satisfactory I and requested the Board to assign it to them for their use. The furniture and equipment will be supplied for the use of the Administrator and the oniy expense to the County would libe a small amount of light bill. After some discussion of this matter, Mr. Vaughan offered a motion that the Executive Secretary be directed to check with other departments of the yCounty to see if this space was needed by any of them and to report back to the Board at ~ Ithe next meeting. It was seconded by Dr. Hooper and unanimously carried. IAIRPORT AIR CONDITIONING - i ~+'~hile Mr. Boney was present, the Chairman inquired about the progress of the ~air conditi•~~9which he designed for installation at the New Hanover County Airport. Mr. !Boney reported that the units have been placed and that workmen are now installing the ~duct work. There was a slight delay in the electrical installation but this has now been corrected and he hopes the system will be in operation by the end of this month. WILMINGTON - NEW HANOVER MUSEUM The Executive Secretary reported that Mrs. ,lames M. James had called him and offered her resignation by telephone as a member of the Board of Trustees of the Wilmington- New Hanover Museum. This was confirmed in a letter from the Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Mrs. 4Jallace Schorr. In the letter, she stated that her term of office as a member of the Board of Trustees had terminated and suggested that the Board appoint two replacements to fili the vacancies. After a thorough consideration, Mr. Vaughan offered a motion that the Chairman of the Board of .County Commissioners be authori2ed and empow- ered to make the appointments after considering the suggestions brovcht out during the discussion. It was seconded by Mr. Braak and unanimously passed. The Chairman then appointed Nirs. Harmon C. Rorison and Nr. N. Winfield Sapp, Jr. The Executive Secretary was instructed to notify the Board of Trustees and the appointees of these a.ppointments. CAPE FEAR TECHn1ICAL INSTITUTE - The Chairman read a letter from the Cape Fear Technical Institute advising that they had a small amount of unspent budgeted funds which they would like to have permission to use for the payment of lawyer fees in connection with Lhe title search of their site I~for the new building. In the discussion of this, it developed that the Board would like to know who searched the title and what their fee was inasmuch as the property was pur- chased from the Redevelopment Commission and that the title was searched by them. The Executive Secretary was instructed to investigate these questions.,and report at the next ~meeting. iSONDS, DENONINATION AND INTEREST RESOLUTION - The Executive Secretary reported that the County Attorney had given him the following Resolution which is necessary in connection with the Resolution of May 17, ~1965 authorizing the sale of bonds. After reading the Resolution, Commissioner M. H.

S. io5-330 ~4)• Upon motion of Dr. Hooper, seconded by Mr. Vaughan, the Board unanimously approved this correction. ~ ~i I The Tax Supervisor stated that Transportation Vehicles, Incorporated ~~~ith the 'iprinciple offSce in this State at Charlotte, N. C. la~ad listed a 1963 Chevrolet in New Hanover County which had also been listed in Mecklenburg County and the tax paid in Meck- i lenburg County. He had the proper documents substantiating this claim. The Tax Super- ~~visor stated that his investigation of the matter showed evidence that the car was in possession of a salesman who lived in New Hanover County at the time and, in his opinion, New Hanover County is entitled to tax. The Acting Attorney ruled that since the principle place of business of the company is in Charlotte, they are correct in paying their tax ~ on this car to Mecklenburg County. The amount of the tax charged by New Hanover amounted I to $6~.36. After the ruling by the Attorney, Mr. Vaughan offered a motion that we can- I 'cel the claim for taxes in New Hanover County. It was seconded by Mr. Braak and unani- ~ ~mously passed. ! I~ II I h1inutes of the Meeting June 7, 1965 (Continued) _-__ --_ -- - _ ~I TAX SUPERVISOR POWERS - The Tax Supervisor informed the Board that under G.s. io5-330 (7), the law provides that the Board of County Commissioners may give the Tax Supervisor general ~ authority to make changes under this section with the exception of Section 6.

Mr. Braak explained that in the past, discussion of employeest salaries had been left until the final consideration in the Budget because it allowed the Board to have a broad idea of what the total Budget I wouid be and what effect it would have on the tax rate. Mr. Vaughan then agreed that he would go along with the procedure used in the past on this subject. RETIREh~ENT FiJNDS Mr. Vaughan stated that he had called the ExecUtive Secretary and asked him to put the subject oi a policy on the Agenda with reference to retirement plans for Count employees.

The County Auditor reported that he is of the opinion that Mr. Vaughan would like to have the major items that would affect our Tax Rate because each item in the Budget would have some effect on it. ~r. Love reported that Debt Service is the big item and amounts to $!}30,000. School Building Sites, Capital Outlay and Salary Increases ~,~ill affect it. Nr. Vaughan observed that the Debt Service alone will amount to a 25d increase. Mr..

Mr. Vaughan thanked the Auditor for his report.

The Attorney stated that professional C.P.A. firms would not enter into a bidding buL would name an hourly rate for their basis of making the audit and that~ all of the C.P.A. firms used the same hourly rates for their professional services. Dr. Hooper moved that the question be tabled until the next meeting and the Board, by common consent, unanimously agreed. APPROPRIATION - WELFARE A letter was received from the Chairman of the County Public Welfare Board explaining that the funds provided for foster homes need $1600.00 to finish the fiscal year and requested the floard to make an appropriation to cover the deficit. The County Auditor informed the Board that the only source from which to make this appropriation is Excess Intangible Taxes.

Upon motion of Mr. Braak, 'unanimously approved this recommendation. that Independence Day this year County employees a holiday on Mon- seconded by Nr. Bowden, the Board '~BOARD MEETING - The Acting Attorney called the Board's attention to the fact the General Statutes 153-8 requires the Board to meet on the first Monday of each month unless that day falls on a legal holiday but July 5th is no,t a legal holiday even though the Board ' has declared it so for County empioyees and that the Board is legaliy required to meet lon that date. .

Mrs. Beatrice S. Clemmons T/A Esso Clemmons & Sons RFD 3, Box l}46 Mrs. Reba E. Johnson T/A Johnson~s Azalea Grill 5741 Oleander Dr. OVERTII~7E WORH - The Tax Supervisor informed the Board that the extension of the City limits iof Wilmington in December 1964 and the recent inclusion of Harbor Island into Wrightsville IIIeach has placed an unusual burden on the Tax Listing Department because of the many steps on each change of property to have it transferred into its proper township. In Ithe past, Wrightsville Beach h'as requested the County employees to make their tax abstracts by copying the information from the County abstracts after office hours and paid them for this service. They are requesting that the County permit the employees in the Tax List- ing Department to again perform this service for them but that the Board of Commissioners in 196!} set a policy that any funds paid for the performance of tax listing services should be paid to the County direct and not to any employees. Because of the additional !burden placed on the Tax Listing Department as outiined above, it will be impossible to perform the services requested during regular office hovrs unless additinnal personnel is employed on a temporary basis to get over the hump. The Attorney stated that this sort of arrangement ~aas included in the Session Laws of 1959, Chapter 61~8 and referred the Tax Supervisor to them for euidance. Mr. Vaughan moved that the Tax Supervisor write the I Board of Aldermen of Wriohtsville Beach and see if they would be interested in a joint venture of this nature with the County. It was seconded by Dr. Hooper and unanimously carried. (After checking the Session Laws referred to above, it is found that they re- ~ferred to tax collection rather than tax listing and that the Acting Attorney had misunder- stood the request of the Tax Supervisor for setting a policy with reference to County employees performing tax listing services for other taxing units.) SPECIAL TERN CRIMINAL COURT - The Chairman informed the Board Justice announcing a two week special term Court beginning June 28th, 1965• that he had received notice from the Chief of Superior Court for the trial of Criminal COUNTY PLANNING AND ZONING - Nr.

Tinga, Chairman of the New Hanover Planning and Zoning Commission reported to the Board that they had prepared a Subdivision Ordinance which they proposed for adoption by the Board of Commissioners. Each member of the Board was furnished with a copy for study. The Chairman directed the Executive Secretary to place this subject on the Agenda for consideration at the next meeting as it is necessary for an ordinance to be adverLised and a Pubiic Hearing held before its adoption. Budget - He presented the proposed Budget for the next fiscal year and recommended that a Planner be hired by the County to work in the City Office and under the supervision of the City Planner. He also recommended that the Planning and 2oning Board be separated from any connection with the Building Inspection Department. After briefly discussing this matter, Mr. Vaughan offered a motion that the Budget be received for information. It was seconded by Dr. Hooper and passed unanimously. AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE - The Executive Secretary reported that the Motor Vehicies owned by the County and used in the County work have been insured in the past through the Nationwide Insurance Company. The policy terminates today and they have sent in an invoice for renewal of the policy. The agent who has represented Nationwide in the past has now organized his own aoency and now represents the Empire Mutual Insurance Company and would like to con- tinve to write the County's automobile insurance. The premiums are the same. The County Auditor reported that the Sheriff's cars are not included in the coverage. The Acting Attorney recommended that they be put into the new policy. Dr. Hooper moved that the coveraae be continued with the Nationwide Insurance Company. It was seconded by Mr. Vaughan and unanimously passed.
