iax manner. Some of the firms, claiming that their auditors were not able to complete
Itheir year-end accounting in time to list during the regular period provided by law but

~VOTE OF CONFIDENCE -
Mr. Vaughan reported that a local citi2en, Mr. Bill Kingoff, came to his office
and was very concerned because of the news releases about the representatives of the
Federal government from ~lashington coming down to settle local complaints. He is of the
opinion that the Good Neighbor Council was organized for that purpose and should settle
all local complaints, at least the locai complaints shovld be considered by the Board and
resolved locally before being sent to Washington. He would like to see the Board of
iCommissioners endorse the Good Neighbor Council as the local facility for resolving local
differences on the loca2 leve2 before they are considered by outsiders. Mr. Bowden
observed that he is in agreement that differences should be considered first at the loca2
level but also is of the opinion that if outsiders do come in; whether invited or ttot,
they should be treated courteoursly. He offered a motion that the Good Neighbor Council
be given a vote of confidence and assurance that they will receive the support of this
Board in handling local problems. It was seconded by Dr. Hooper, who remarked that he did
~not think the Good Neighbor Council should be bypassed. The Board unanimously adopted the
above motion.
PERSONNEL REGULATIONS - '
Mr. Vaughan reported, as Chairman of the committee set up by the Board, for
studying information oathered by the Executive Secretary from various counties, with
reference to the classification and pay pians for County employees. He offered a motion
that Nr. Dona2d Heyman, Assistant Director of the Instit~te of Government, be invited to
come down and discuss personnel systems and that the same committee be kept in force to
review the files and pursue whatever program is outiined by Mr. Heyman. It was seconded
by Mr. Braak and unanimously passed.
~ APOLOGY -
Mr. Bowden referred Lo the meeting held with representatives of the Federal
i government recently which was presided over by the Vice Chairman, Mr. M. H. Vaughan and
in which he was alledged to have been rude and inhospitable causing unpleasantness by
asking personal questions such as "if they were equipped with tape recorders and the
~ amount of their personal salaries". He offered a motion that Mr. Vaugta n be requested
to write a letter of apology to the individuals involved in the controversy: Mr. Hali
observed that he thought some remarks are in order and seconded the motion.- When the
iballot was taken, Dr. Hooper and Mr. Vaughan voted "No", but the other 3 members of the
Board, Messrs. Bowden, Braak and Hall voted "Yes" and the Chairman declared~it carried
by a ma,jority vote. Mr. Vaughan stated that under no circumstances would he apologize.
Mr. Vaughan fvrther stated, "It is my feeling that the type of thinking that would re-
quest me to apologize, if sincere, is the same type of thinking that would ask Patr.ick
Henry, Paul Revere or Nathan Hale to apologize; 'if not sin:c~ere 7then the motion repre-
I sents hypocrisy of the worst order". .M"r. Bowden.then_offered'a.mot3on tha't~s:ihc.e_Mr:
Uaugh3'n•~re:fused .to write at letLe.r~~of ~polo.gy, a cop,y..of. this. portion;_ofc•the:minutes be
sent to the individuals involved. It was seconded by Mr. Hall. Before the ballot was
cast, Mr. Vaughan offered a substitute motion that Mr. Bowden be required to write a
letter to the lady of the visiting group apologizing for the remark which he made about
her eyes. There was no second to the substitute motion. After the original motion
was thoroughly discussed, Mr. Vaughan offered another substitute motion that the record
show that Mr. Bowden took the group to the Airport in an effort to ease the tension
buiit up at the meeting and that his rebuttal over the T. V. Station be sent to the De-
partment of the Heaith, Education and Ylelfare as well as the individuals involved. It
was seconded by Mr. Bowden and unanimovsly passed.
MEETING TINTE -
The time for holding the regular semimonthly meetings was brought .to the
floor for discvssion and after expioring the various ideas of the individual members of
the Board, Mr. Braak moved that beginning with the first meeting in October and in the
future the meetings be held at 8:00 A. M. It was seconded by Mr. Hall. During the
discussion, Mr. Bowden observed that he had made the original sugoestion for holdino
afternoon and evening meetings thinking that the public would participate more thorovghly,
however, this has not proved true and since the original idea was to be on a trial basis,
he is willing to go along with morning sessions. Before the ballot was taken, Dr. Hooper
offered a substitute motion that the next meeting on October 18th be held at•7:30 A. M.
and then decide for future meetings. It was seconded by Mr. Vavghan and vnanimously
carried.
