Upon motion of Mr. Vaughan, seconded by Dr: BUDGET I1;IISCUSSION MEETING t ASSEMBLY - Board unanimously voted ~%V~.l~/' ~ , Executive Secretary July 2, 1965 7:0~ P.M. The New Hanover County Board of Commisaioners met on the above date at 7:00 P. M, in the Commissioners~ ~weE-eR-6k~e-a~eve-~aEe-a~-~s69-R.-D9.-~R-t.ii6-GGiA(A~CC~CAOFCl Room with the foliowing members in attendance: Chairman Jos. W. Hooper, Jr., Commiss- ioners Peter H. Braak, Laurence O. Bowden, J. M. Hall, Jr. and M. H. Vaughan, County Attorney L. Bradford Tillery and County Auditor, T. D. Love and the Board of Education, represented by their Chairman Mr. E. A. Laney and their Superintendent, Dr. W. H. Wagoner, along with the heads of departments of their staff. PREAINBL'E - Mr. Laney stated that before going into the detailed items, he thought it might be well to make a few general observations. To begin with, the pupil load for the New Hanover County Schdol System is growing at an average rate of 300 students per year which means that it is necessary to provide 10 new classrooms and 10 new additional teachers per year. Teachers in the syst'em have increased from 619 in 1960 to 720 tYiis year and Ithey expect an increase Lo 750 next year. The general standards for the entire system ~are high and accredited as being a high quality educational system. He st'ated that repre- Isentatives of industrial firms thinking about moving into New Hanover County always con- sult the school authorities. Dr. Wagoner then introduced the members of his staff and . reviewed the entire Budget in detail, item by item, answering'any questions the Board mem- ~bers asked relative to any of the Budget items they did not quite understand. Dr. Wagoner explained that the total insur'ed valuation of the"ir property amounted to $12,1~93,800 and ~that they considere'd 2% of the capitai investment as a resaonable amount to set up for Re- Ipairs to Buildings and Grounds. This compares with a'general business cu'stam of setting iaside from 5 to 10% of their capital investment for maintenance. i Capital Outlav- Supplement - After resolving the various Budget items in question, Dr. Wagoner stressed the fact that there were two very important items which Ineeded to be resolved immediately because of their urgency. The first one is 6 mobile iclassrooms,in the amount of $38,500 that are needed to take care of the overflow where jthe pupil load flvctuates and it is not feasible to build new classrooms at the particular location because the load is temporary in many instances. The second item is in the Ilamount of $42,31.~J.},00 which is needed in the purchase of land under option for the John T. ~Hoggard High School. The manufacturers of the mobile classrooms rrill be unable to complete 'them in time for the cur.rent school year unless the order is placed immediately and the ;land purchase needs to be closed because of the fact that some of the property owners have lalready indicated that they would increase the price after the expiration of the option date. After a thorough discussion of these problems, Mr. Hall offered a motion that the Board approve the purchase of the School site selected for the Johri T. Hoggard High 9chool and the Capital Outlay item for $!}2,3LFl~.00 requested for this purpose. It was seconded by Dr. Hooper and unanimovsly carried. Dr. Hooper then moved that the Board approve the purchase of !{ mobile classrooms. It was seconded by Mr. Uaughan but before the ballot continued- ~ '' ~ ~~ Minutes of the Meeting July 1, 1965 - Continued Capital Outlay-Su~nlement - Continued was taken, Mr. Hall offered a substitute motion that the Board approve 6 mobile classrooms and this substitute motion was seconded by Dr. Hooper for the purpose of discussion. After thorough consideratfon, the ballot was taken and Mr. Vavghan voted against the motion, however the Chairman declared it carried by a ma,jority vote as all the other members of the Board voted for it.
