REAPPORTIONMENT RESOLUTION - The Chairman read a Resolution from the Board of Commissioners of Robeson County, asking the General Assembly, in its reapportionment of Congressional Districts to retain Ithe existing composition and boundaries of the 7th Congressional District. They have asked Ithe the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners to endorse it. The Chairman reported = Representative Alton A. Lennon had been consulted with reference to his desires in the mat- , _. ter. He is well pieased with the present district boundaries and if the Board sees fit ' to endorse such a resolution he wouid suggest that copies be sent to the Governor, Dan K. Noore, Lieut. Governor Robert W. Scott, Speaker of the House, H. P. Taylor, Local Repre- _ 'sentative, Georoe T. Ciark, Jr. and J. Melville Broughton, Chairman of the State Democratic IlCommittee.

He also reminded the Board that the contract for the Warehouse owned by the A.C.L. Railroad has a notifica- tion clause in it. After proper consideration of this matter, the Board decided to re- consider the Food Stamp Program and keep the Food Distribution Program operating until the final decision is reached. The County Auditor T. D. Love reported that he had con- tacted an Auditor in Nash County which has had experience in both type programs and is convinced that the Food Stamp Program costs the County taxpayers more than the direct ~ distribution system. Miss Lela Moore Hall, Director of Public 4lelfare, reported that before the Food Stamp Program could be implemented, it would have to be approved by the Secretary of Agriculture. The Board asked her to prepare the estimated cost of the proF posed Food Stamp Program. I DEFINED SERVICES - I Miss Lela Moore Hall, Director of Public Welfare, explained to the Board I~ that the Welfare Board is definitely in favor of Defined Services because two nnits which are now in operation have held down the number of persons receiving aid which is • the first time any reduction has been made in the number of A.P.T.D. recipients. By having small case loads of 60 or less, the Federal government will:participate in 75% of the cost of administration. In order to establish Defined Services which the Board of Welfare recommends,they would possibly need a Supervisor and two additional Clerical I workers. After some discussion, the Board'asked Miss Hall to prepare a recommenda- ' tion of the comparable cost to the County between the present system of handling these ' cases and the one proposed under the Defined Services.Program. ECC= UNIVERSITY STATUS The Chairman read a letter from the Pitt County Board that consideration be given to endorsing a Resolution supporting Carolina College into a fvll fledoed State supported University. tion, the Board, by unanimous common consent, agreed to take the tion and authorized the Executive Secretary to notify the Chairm Board of Commissioners to that effect. ~ of Commissioners asking the conversion of East After some considera- matter under considera- 3n of the Pitt County MENTRL HEALTH CENTER - I The Mental Health Advisory Board, at the December 20th meeting, advised the Board that Pender County has contributed $3,000.00 to the Mental Health Center and will I participate in the services used by them. The question of whether or not to use this money to procure additional professional help or to develop a training program was re- considered by the Board today. By common consent, the Board authorized the Executive Secretary to write the Mentai Health Advisory Council and ask them to rra ke a presentatio of their proposals and recommendations at the meeting on January 17, 1966: ASSIST~INT DISTRICT SOLICI"IUR - I The Chairman read a letter from District Solicitor James C. Bowman recommendiig the reappointment of Mr. W. Allan Cobb as Assistant District Solicitor with an increase I in salary to $7,500. After a thorough consideration, Mr. Bowden moved the approval of I the reappointment of Mr. Cobb as Assistant Solicitor, with the understanding that the increase in salary would be reconsidered at the next Budget setting time. It was second3d by Mr. Hall and unanimously passed. JOINT CITY- COUNTY t~ETING The Chairman reported to the Board that most of the items which were dis- j cussed at the joint meeting of the Board of Commissioners and the City Council were re- i, ferred to the County Attorney for research and recommendation. He asked the Board to authori2e him to call another joint meeting when it seemed practical. By common consenlf, the Board agreed to this arrangement. I TRASH DUMP - Mr. Bowden recalled that one of the items discussed at the joint meeting had to do with the burning of trash at the Refuse Disposal Dump which was interfering with aircraft safety and moved that the Executive Secretary be authorized to advertise for a suitable location on the south side of the County to be used as a trash dump and land fill operation. He suggested that it should be in the neighborhood of 25 acres with a minimum lease of 5 years. He recommended that the ad be run for two issues. It was i seconded by Nr. Braak and unanimously carried. AUDITOR - APPOINTIVE OR ELECTIVE Mr. Vaughan offered a motion that Representative George T. Clark, Jr. be asked to endorse a resolution, if practical, at the special session of the Legislature, to become effective the first Monday in December, 1966 changing the law to permit the appointment of the County Auditor by the Board of County Commissioners rather than elected by the people as at present.
