The Executive Secretary reported that he had advertised for Microfilming Equip-
ment to be used in the Register of Deeds Office as directed by the Board. He has received
'two bids, neiLh2r of which was accompanied by a security as required in the advertisement
so the Attorney ruled that they must be rejected and readvertised. The Board, by common
consent, directed the Executive 5ecretary to readvertise for bids.
~ACCOUNTING MACHINE - TAX OFFICE
The Executive Secretary reported that he had r.eadvertised for bids on an
accounting machine to do tax billing as authorized by the Board at the last meeting be-
cause the bids were rejected by not compiying with the requirements of the specifications.

~ Plus 3% Sales Tax 141.75
~ $4,516.75
IThe bid was accompanied by a certified check in the amount of ~233.80 and $3.00 in cash.
The Attorney ruled that since the bid represented a readvertisement and the bid bond was
sufficient, it was legal to accept or reject as they saw fit. Mr. Ralph F. Hodges explained
to the Board that this is a new machine and carries a complete warranty. He also advised
~that $106.00 would be refunded on the maintenance agreement which has been paid on the old
'machine. The Attorney advised the Board that they could not contract to purchase this
machine out of the next fiscal year~s Budget which they wish to do but that the vendor might
accept individual agreement by each member of the Board that they would appropriate the
funds and purchase the machine in the i965-66 Budcet year. The Chairman polled each mem-
Iber of the Board present and each of them agreed that it is his intent to award the con-
tract for the purchase of this machine on'or after July lst, 1965.

TAX EQUALIZATION 8 REVALUATION - (continued) I

that his company had inciuded the appraisal of industrial personal property. The Board
instructed him to advise the Executive Secretary the amount included for the industrial '
personal property.

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.

'OFFICE SPAGE- OPPORTUNITIES, INC.
Mr. Charles H. 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.

'ITAX ADJUSTMENT - '
- The Tax Supervisor reported that Valeria E. Council, T~A the Antique Shop had ~
listed her taxes also as Valeria E. Council-Antiques. The valuation amounted to $1,090.00
land the tax amovnts to $15.81. He recommends that we waive one of the listings to avoid
a double taxation. This is authori2ed in G. 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. !

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. In a brb8dr.
~ sense, this covers correction as a result'of clerical errors. Upon motion of Dr. Hooperfl
I seconded by Ivr. Vaughan, the Board unanimously approved this authority. II
Y
AIRPORT ROAD
At the last meeting, the Board had suggested that the recommendations of the
Federal Aviation Agency for the relocation of an entrance and exit road at the Airport '
be referred to the Airport Committee for sLt~dy and recommendations. Mr.~Bowden reported ~
for the Committee and stated that it was agreeable to the relocation as suggested and
offered a motion that it be referred to the State Highway Engineers who assisted their

AIRPORT - ADVERTISEMENTS
The Chairman recalled at the meeting on May 17th the Airport Manager had raisec
the question in regard to some display advertising in the terminal building for the Blocke~de
Runner Hotel. It was referred to the Airport Committee for a recommendation. After a
brief discussion, A1r. Vaughan offered a motion that the Board give the AirporL Manager ggg
authority to put in the ad and a telephone if required on a trial basis. It was seconde~
by Mr. Braak and unanimously approved.
AUDITOR-iEGISLATION ~
Mr. Vaughan recalled that the Board had approved the presentation of a Bill
to permit the appointment of the Auditor by the Board of County Commissioners rather
than elected by the peopie as at present and authorize theChairman to keep up with the I
movement of the Legislature and have it presented at the appropriate time. The Chair-
man informed the Board that he had kept in tovch with the legisiative processes and would I
notify the Representative from New Hanover County to present the Bill ~ahen he thought
it best. Mr. Vaughan then offered a motion that Representative Clark be instructed to
present the Bill on Wednesday, ,lune 9, 1965. There was no second to this motion and the
Chairman declared it dead. ,
BUDGET DISCUSSION OF ENiPLOYEE'S SALARIES
Mr. Vaughan explained that County Auditor Love was in his office and expressed!
a desire for a policy with reference to salary increases for County employees which would
help him in making his recommendations in the Budget. 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. By common consent, no definite action was taken on this matter at this meetin~,.
SALARIES - RECORDERS~ COURT
Mr. Vaughan observed that the statements have been made that the Board of u
County Commissioners approved the salary increases of the Judge and Solicitor of Recorder~6s
Court and that he would like to have it on record that they did not approve this legisla-
tion. He had been contacted by telephone but had not given his approval:
BUDGET ITEMS AFFECTING TAX RATE
Mr. Vaughan made a request that the Auditor supply the Commissioners with a
list of al.l the factors which would affect the tax rate in this year~s Budget. 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.. Love
explained that Wilmington College o£ lOd would not be included in this year~s Budget which
would reduce the above figure by that amount leaving a net of 15d. Mr. Vaughan thanked
the Auditor for his report.
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR
The Chairman informed the Board that it is time to select a C.P.A. for making
an independent audit of the county's records and announced that the meeti~~ng is now open

nomination of appointment. He questioned the Attorney as to whether or not we should
advertise for bids. 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. After a brief discussion, Mr. Braak offered a motion that
the request be approved and that $1600.D0 be appropriated to the Foster Homes Fund from
Unanticipated Intangible Taxes. It was seconded by Mr. Bowden and passed unanimously.
APPROPRIATION - DEBT SERVICE

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. I. J. 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.
