mously passed.
ATTORNEY'S SALARY -
Mr. Braak reported that after observing the amount of legal work involved as
, County Attorney he thought the salary for that job should be $6,200.00 per year and offer-
;ed a motion that this be approved as of January lst, 1966 and that $500.00 be appropriated
from the General Emergency Fund to Attorney Fees for the last 6 months of the fiscal year.
It was seconded by Dr. Hooper and approved unanimously.
'PENSION AND RETIREMENT PLAN -
Mr. Glasgow Hicks, Jr.;representing the U. S. Fidelity & Guaranty Compary appeared
before the Board and requested an opportunity to make a proposal for the pension and retire-
ment plan for New Hanover County employees. He offered to hire, at their expense, an in-
Idependent Actuarial Consultant who would design a program and prepare specifications for sub-
mission to any interested insuror at no cost to the County. He estimated it would require
lapproximately one year to present such a proposal. Mr. Vaughan then offered a motion for
~the purpose of discussion that the Coun.ty will entertain a proposal from Mr. Hicks, or any-
one else, provided it is presented by the time the Board is ready to make their decision,
It was seconded by Dr. Hooper. In the discussion, it was brought out the time might be cut
Nto less than a year for prepariny the proposal but that it would push them to complete it
by the next Budget setting time for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1966. ~r. Meares
Harriss, a local insurance agent, has designed a proposal and specifications for providing
the County employees with a retirement plan which can be funded by any company. He reminded
the Board that at the time he was made Agent of Record on May 3rd, 1965 Mr. Vaughan observed
that all present were men of honor and that if it was necessary to extend the time it could
be done at the expiration of the 6 months. He is of the opinion that if the motion above
is passed, it will open up the way for many proposals and make it necessary for the County
'to employ and pay an Actuarial Consultant in order to resolve the many plans which would be
presented. He estimates that the work which has been done on the project now vouid have
c oSL _ between $1500.00 and $2,000.00 if it had been done by an Actuarial Consultant employed
•by the County and that by the time the proposal was completed, it would have run up to $5,000.
After a brief discussion, ~r. Braak offered a substitute motion that Mr. Harriss be continued
,as Agent of Record for a period of 90 days from today which should give the State Local Gov-
,ernmental Employees Retirement office time to come up with their proposal. It was seconded
by Dr. Hooper and passed by a majority vote. Mr. Vaughan requested that he be recorded as
Ivoting "NO", however, before the subject was dismissed he finally voted"~!es" only because
he felt the Board incUrred this obligation through failing to have the State investigation
!made concurrently with Mr. Harriss~s and made the vote unanimous. The Chairman instructed
'the Executive Secretary to write the Local Governmental Retirement System and advise them
ithat the Board would like to have their report on the project within 90 days.
ISCHOOL ROAD PAVING -
Dr. W. H. Wagoner, Superintendent of the New Hanover County School System, at the
invitation of the Board of Commissioners, reported to the Board that the Board of Education
has a problem which they have been attempting to resolve but so far have not heen able to
~accomplish anything. It has to do with pavino of the streets around some of the schools.
He reported that during dry seasons the dust is very bad and during the wet seasons, the mud
imalces it almost impossible to get through some of them. In~seeking to resolve the problem,
,they secured the following estimatesof the cost from the State High~aay Commission which does
,not include curb and gutters:

SCHOOL ROAD PAVING - (continued)
Dr. Wagoner stated that this had been presented before the City Council and '
that he is now bringing it before the Commissioners to see if any solution mighti be i
worked out. In the discussion, the question of the Powell Bill money was brought up I
and Dr. Wagoner explained that it is the understanding of the City officials that this
money can only be used for maintenance and can not be used for new construction. The ~
County Attorney was of the opinion that the Statutes would not place a limitation on ~
the Powell Bill money to maintainace only. Mr. Vaughan then offered a motion that the N
City Council be advised of Dr. Wagoner~s report and ask them to give their kind con- ~~
sideration to this urgent problem. It was seconded by Dr. Hooper and unanimously
carried. I
RECORD BOOK RENOVAL -
The Register of Deeds reported that books "W", "TT", "KKK", "MMM" and "000",
are in such a state of deterioration that it is unfeasible to repair them in the regular
manner. He has arranged with the Department of Archives and History to laminate the ~
books under the State Restoration Program at no cost to the County. It will be necessar:~
that theyt'.; '.' - be taken to Raleigh for this work and before he is authorized to re-
move them from the County, General Statute 132-7 requires ttn t the Board of Commissioners,
authori2e such removal. Upon motion of Mr. Vaughan, seconded by Mr. Hall, the Soard un- i
animously approved the program outlined above.
REHABILITATION QUARTERS - II
Dr. Rolf H. Fissher, Director of the Mental Health Center, appeared before '1
the Board end explained that the only place presently available to treat alcoholics '
and mentally.disturbed persons is in the County Jail. He does not consider this a
proper place for rehabilitating these persor.s, many of whom can very well be treated
locally without being sent to Goldsboro. He suggests that the County clean up and
renovate the old Juvenile Detention Home facilities which have been vacated by them,
for use in treating this type problem. Aft,er a thorough discussion, Mr. Braak moved
that the Juvenile Detention Home be cleaned up and prepared for use immediately. It. '
was seconded by Mr. Bowden and unanimously passed. Dr. Fisscher is to explore the I
possibility of the use of A.B.C. Funds to cover the cost of the program and to report
back to the Board at their second meeting in January details of the proposed operationai
procedures so that the Commissioners can see what they are getting into. Mr. Bowden
reported that the Mental Health Advisory Board requests that all fiscai matters presentedl
to the Board of Comrrissioners come through them. '

fore the Board and explained that they have a tentative proposal for a nationally known
Air Show which would put on a two hour exhibit for the benefit of spectators at the New

I involved considerable expense and suggested that the Commissioners permit a small fee of
50d per car and ailow the Azalea Festival Committee to sell advanced reserved seat tickets

mously deferred any action until the next meeting.
I CHRISTP'IAS HOLIDAYS -
The Executive Secretary reported to the Board that he had received calls from
Nthe Health Department in regard to the Christmas Holidays so that they might schedule
appointments. Since no standard procedure has been adopted for this season, he recom-
mended that the Board follo~.~ the same schedule as the City in view of the joint operation
such as the Tax Listing and Tax Collecting Departments ~,rhich are inconvenienced when a
different schedule is followed. The City has approved December 21}th and December 27th
as Holidays for the employees as Christmas Day is on Saturday this year. After a brief
discussion, Dr. Hooper moved that the County allow a half day holiday on Friday, -ecember
24th allowing the Departmet Heads to use skeleton forces if they deemed it advisable and
all day Monday, December 27th. It was seconded by Mr. Bowden and unanimously approved.

Memorial Hospital made a progress report indicating that the hospital is approximately 50% ~.
complete which is on schedule, The general contractor has been givern a 21} day extension ~

acquaint themselves with operation of the equipment before the actual need for its use. `i~
Their revenues amount to $9,b1}9,659. They anticipate that~the first 60 days of operation .
will require a minimum of $500,000 in operating capital, however, they will receive the
laccounts receivable from the two merging hospitals and whatever unexpended appropriations ~
which they have on hand at the time of the merger. They do not anticipate any difficulty
with this feature of the o.pening. The Board, by common consent, suggested that a quarterly~ ~
report be made as the work progresses. Mr. Alper was in complete agreement with this sug-
gestion and asked the Executive Secretary to notify him when 90 days has elapsed so that ~
Ihe can comply.
DRAGLINE
The Chairman announced that the Committee appointed to evaluate the bids whic h
Iwere received for supplying a dragline had made their report to the Board and after eonsid-
Ilering all the specifications, the Board has decided to purchase the Bucyrus-Erie, Model
15B from E. F. Craven Company for a total delivered price of $25,007 which includes the
Ithe telescoping boom stop. Mr. Bowden offered a motion that the bid of E. F. Craven
Company for a Model 15-B Bucyrus Dragline be accepted at a cash delivered price of $25,00~
and that $20,000 be appropriated from the General Emergency Fund and $5,007.00 appropriated
from the Advertising and Industrial Development Fund to pay for it. It was seconded by
IMr. Hall and unanimously approved.
JWENILE COURT -
~iss Lela Moore Hall, Director of the Public Welfare Department, reported that
Ithe Board and their staff are available to complete the establishment of one Juvenile
ICourt and one Probation Staff as of January lst, 1966. It is her understanding that the
two Probation Officers now working for the City have not completed the Merit System exam-
ination making them eligible for employment in the Public Welfare Department. She says
that the examina~.ions are being given every other Saturday at Wilmington College. If they
!make themselves eligible, she hopes to continue their services if the Courts are merged
into one Juvenile Court. After some discussion of this problem, Mr. Bowden offered a
motion that the plans to establish one Juvenile Court for the City and County, agreed on
at the joint meeting, be approved effective January 1, 1966 and that ~iss Hall be authorized
to go ahead and set up her department on that basis. It was seconded by Mr. Hall and unani-
mously carried. The Executive Secretary was authorized to notify the City Council that

ATTORNEY FEES - CHILDREN ADOPTION
In a letter dated November 3rd, the Director of Public Welfare called atten-
tion to five children in their care ranging in ages from 3 to14 years. It was pointed i
out that if they remained under the care of the Public Welfare Department until they ll
reached the age of 18, it would co9t the County $38,800 at the present rate of cost.
They recommended that the Board allow them $400.00 to retain an attorney for ciearing
these children for adoption as soon as homes are available. ~
IdELFARE - EDUCATIONAL FORUM
Miss Hall expressed a desire for a joint meeting of the Public Welfare Board
and the Board of County Commissioners in an informal meeting for the purpose of acquaint
ing them with new programs and any old information that would be mutually helpful. She I
suggested December 13, 1965 at 5:00 P. M. in her office as a possible date. After a
brief discussion, by unanimous consent, agreed Lo meet with them at that time.
FLAGS
The Chairman opened the meetino for discussion about the display of the flag
3.he~United States of America. It was the thinking of some of the Board that the State
Flay should also be flown immediately beneath the nation~s flag and instructed the
Executive Secretary to secure flaes suitable for this purpose and if there are no valid
reasons for not doing so, fly the State flag from the same halyard but below the nationa
f lag.
f
~ TRUCK - HUGH NlacRAE PARK
The Executive Secretary reported that the truck used by the Parks Supervisor
has approximately 150,000 miles on it and is in such a deteriorated condition, it is ,
unfeasible to repair it. He recommended that the Board appropriate $400.00 as a I,
capitai outlay item to replace the truck with one which we might purchase from the State'
Highway Commission. They had two for sale which were in excellent condition which
could have been purchased for approximately $350.00 but they were sold before we could
get this appropriation. After some discussion, the Board was reluctant to appropriate~,
funds until a suitable truck is located. Mr. Braak reported that a local dealer had an
excellent buy,in his opinion, and suggested that the Executive Secretary be authorized
to investigate the matter and if he is convinced that it is a suitable truck to poll the
Board and yet their reaction after giving them the facts. ( A 1965 model Chevrolet
truck with 28,000 miles was located at the Raney Chevrolet Company which could be purcha:ed
for a net of $1297.00. All members of the Board were called and given the facts after ,
which each of them signified his approval for tl~ purchase.)
