He pointed out that the law requires illiteracy tests for each voter ~hich will slow down the registration. Mr. Vaughan observed that, in his opinion, it is time to get back to the concept of public service to the community. At this point, consideration was given to the estimated cost of the personal services of the members of the Board of Electtons. Dr. Hooper stated frankly that he thought $750.00 was entirely too much for the members of the Election Board as it represented 50 days of work at $15.00 per day and that $3500.00 was considerabiy out of line in his opinion, for the Chairman. The County Attorney cited the law permitting the Board of Commissioners to pay the Chairman at the rate of more than $15.00 per day if they chose. He suggested $450.00 each for the Election Board members and $1750.00 for the Chairman of the Board of Elections. He questioned ~7r. Pridgen as to ti~hether or not he did not think it could be done for that figure. Mr. Pridgen stated that he could not do it for that amount, whereupon, Dr. Hooper asked Mr. Pridgen, "Do you mean that you would not do it for that amount?'~ Mr. Pridgen stat that it could not be done for that amount. . Precinct Aliqnment - At this point, the Board of Elections exhibited a map showing the reslignment of precincts within the old City limits of Wilmington cutting them down to 14. They explained that they tried to line up the precincts in such a way the maximum voter registration would not be more than 1500 persons. They are having some problems in the newly annexed sectfons of the City in::cutting them down to this size and up to the present time they have not come up with a solution for the County precincts. At this point, Mr. Pridgen remarked that when the system was in- stalled, the resuit wnuld seem like they had been using a very old "Model A" Ford com- pared to a new Cadillac. After discussing the precinct m~ps and problems, the atten- tion of the Board reverted to detailed consideration of each of the estimaLed Budget items to see if they might be reduced. Mr. Vaughan moved that the Board of Commiss- ioners consent to the Board of Election proceeding to install the permanent looseleaf voter registration system and settle the question of compensation for the Election Board when the bills are presented for payment. There was no second to this motion and the Chairman declared it dead. Dr.Hooper then moved that the Board appropriate $3,000 from Unanticipated Interest Revenue, which added to the $15,000 in the Budget, amounts to a total of $18,000 with the understanding that the regu2ar Board of Election members would be paid $450.00 or at the rate of $15.00 per diem for actual time spent up to that amount and that the Chairman-s salary be set at $1740 unless there is proof in writing that the number of days spent on the instailation of this system exceeds that amount at the rate of $15.00 per diem, after which he would be paid on that basis. I It was seconded by Mr. Braak. Before the ballot was taken, Mr. Vaughan offered a substitute motion that the budgeted item of $15,000 for the purpose of installing the permanent looseleaf voter registration system be inereased to $15,450 and that the tom- pensation for the members of the Election Board be settled when it comes up for payment. This substitnte motion died for lack of a second. The vote was then taken on the original motion and Mr. Vaughan voted against it but since.all the other members of the Board voted in favor of the motion, the Chairman declared it carried and instructed the Executive Secretary to see that a copy was delivered to Mr. Pridgen by hand today. ADJOURNMENT - The purpo~e for this meeting having been accomplished, Mr. Bowden offered a moLion that ft be ad,journed.

(See minutes of February 21,1966) ~ 5~~ Min~t~es-o.f ~he~:e#~c,~M~r.c~~=,=196-b~ont~n:us~l- - - - NSEMIANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT - ~ „ The County Auditor presented the Board with an itemized statement comparing the appropriatior~s with the expenditures for the first 6 months of the fiscal year 1965-66. Iin each instance where the percentage of expenditures greatly exceeded 50~ of the appro- priation, explanations were given. The G¢neral Fund expenditures amovnted to 469 of the ~appropriation. The Auditor assured the Board that the financial condition of the County continues good. In reviewing the itemized funds for other appropriations, he called attention to some of the trends in the bVelfare Department which s¢emed to indicate that before the year+s end additional monies would be requir2d, however, when all of the appro- priations and expenditures are considered, the percentage is 41~. He pointed out that -- some of the School funds are not paid out of the Supplementary Budget until near the end of the fiscal year. Again, he reiterated that the County's financial condition continued to be favorable. The Chalrman asked the County Auditor if the County is using any pre- paid tax money to pay current bills. 'The Auditor answered "NO" and he did not expect to luse any.° ICAPE FEAR TECHNIGAL INSTITUTE - ~ Messrs. Fred Galehouse and M. J. Mcteod advised the Board that due to Federal regulations regarding matching funds, the State Board of Education is unable to allot sufficient funds to include the pier in the Building Pro~ect. An additionai sum in the Iamount of $5,5~7.03 is needed in order to accept base bids for building the pier. They presented an iLemized statement of available funds which shows that the acceptance of the bid is contingent upon the additional $5,577.03• They are confident that the County wilt ~not be called on to pay this money but in any event, it would not be in th1S fiscal year. They pointed out that the Auditor had invested their bond money and earned $6,500 in interest Iwhich is enough to add to the total and permit them to proceed in building their pier but it is necessary for the State Board of Education to have a statement assuring them that the ifunds are available before they can let the Cbntract. Mr. Vaughan then moved that $6500.00 !be appropriated from Unanticipated Interest earned on invested funds of the C.F.T..I., and that'these~'funds.vrill'De.a4ai2able upon pr¢sentation of an itemized sta:tement of,thei.r,rieeds; if the money needed is not available in the Contingency Fund, the County wiil make funds I available subJect to an explanation of what happened to the Contingency Fund. It was seconded by Mr. Braak and unanimously passed. IPUBLIC WELFARE - - Mr. F. P. Fensel, Chairman of the Local Public Weifare Soard, ~et'with the Com- missioners today and explained that they needed to lower some of the light fixtures and jinstall some electrical outlets under the desks on the floor as well as on2 outlet for an air conditioner or portable electric heater. He presented an estimated cost of $148.00. IUpon motion of Mr. Bowden, seconded by Mr. Hall, the Board unanimously approved this re- quest. • ' ' Mr. Fensel then presented a copy of an itemized statement for funds which they I Iciaim was approved by the Beard of Commissioners for setting up a Joint Juvenile Court ~ beginning June 1, 1966. In tnis itemi2ed statement aras included a breakdown of the estimated cost for operating the Juvenile Court and contained an item of Salary for the Chief Proba- tion Officer, who wouid be responsible for its operation. He pointed out that it was fn- cluded in the total regular Welfare Budget and so far as they have been advised, it was not deleted and, therefore, his Board assumed that it was approvdd.. The Chairman of the Board ~of of Commissioners pointed out that the statutory provisions of the law provided for the Welfare Director to be Chief Prob~tion Officer. Mr. Vaughan pointed out that the Welfare I Director~s salary was increased from $9,63!}.00 to $10,2l~l~.00 on July lst, 1965 and on January lst, 1966, it was increased to $11,256.00. County Auditor Love observed that at ~ IBudget time $4,000 was included for this purpose, however, no allocation of the funds were Imade at the time. Mr. Bowden moved thaL an additional salary for the Chief Probationer ~ 'Offieer, in the amount of $873.00 effective January 1, 1966 be appropriated. It was seconded by Mr. Hall. In the discussion of this motion, Messrs. Bowden and Hall stated that they vaguely remembered a discussion item during the Budget consideration period and feel a moral lobligation to go.along with it., Mr. Braak agreed that he faintly remembered such a dis- cussion. Before the ballot was taken, Mr. Vaughan offered a substitute motion that no I~ additional professional salaries be raised on which the GeneraI Statutes imposed the respon- sibility and which would increase the salaries to 3 steps above the Merit System normal range. It was seconded by Dr. Hooper. After some further discussion of the sub,ject, Dr. , Hooper withdrew his second to the substitute motion and a ballot was taken on ttie original ~motion. Messrs. Hooper and Vaughan voted "NO" and Messrs. Bowden, Braak and Hall voted _.. I "YES". The Chairman declared the mOtian carried by a ma,jority vote. Mr. Vaughan pointed ots( '~4hat the increase just granted would make that position~s pay 3 steps above the Merit System's jhormal range. TAX AEFUND - The Tax Supervisor reported that when he advised N~rs. Jane G. Sidbury that the Board had approved the refund of two years taxes paid because of an appraisal error in Iher property as explained in the meeting on February 21st, she was dissatisfied and wanted to appear before the Board.in her own behalf. FIe introduced her to each member of the ~Board andshe expiained thatshe had not refused to give information at the time the appraisal 'was made and thought she shouid hav¢ all of the money which had been overpaid in taxes. The County Attorney pointed aut the provisions of the General Statute 105-t}05.1 which definitely forbids the retvrn of any taxes for any reason beyond 2 years time. After con- siderable discussion, Mr. Vaughan moved that the Board approve the refund of the last 2 ~years' taxes paid upon the recommendation of the Tax Supervisor. It was seconded by Mr. Braak and unanimously passed. The Board expressed their regret that they were unable to help her any further. PERMANENT LOOSELEAF VOTER REGISTRATION - Complying with the request of the Board of Commissioners at the Special Meeting ~iheld on February 2!}th with the New Hanover Count.y Board of Elections, the Chafrman read a letter signed by 2 members of the Board informing the Commissioners that th¢ Board of IElections has elected to proceed with the installation of a permanent looseleaf voter registration system under the Budget approved by the Commissioners amounting to $18,000. ~By common consent, th2 Board instructed the Executive Secretary to notify the State Board lof Elections and thank the local Board for its cooperation and forthright action. , ~ ~~~ .,,_.

They met with Mr. Henson all day iast Saturday at which tine they were presented a preliminary proposal for setting up a fixed base operation at u Bleuthenthal Fieid. Mr. Hall reported that he had personally been in touch wtth Mr. Henson as la~te as last Saturday night and received the impression that this proposal wasi still in the formative stage and he feels that this announcement is premature at this time. ' I COUNTY PLANNING AND 20NING - u The Chairman of the Board of Commissioners read a letter from the Chairman of the County Planning snd Zoning Board recommending that the "701 Program" be held in abeyance pending the availability of a Planner. They recommend that priority be ~ given to remapping New Hanover County, as the present topographic maps have not been ~ ~ revised since 1946 and manyinaccuracies have shown up in an evalvation made by th¢ I geologist 1n charge of the Water Resources investigation being conducted in the County ~ under the supervislon of the Federal Geological Survey. They recommend that the pre- ! liminary air photography be done before the leaves come out this spring. They also suggested that the Board of Commissioners sign the contract for Lhe "761 Program" so that by the time the maps are finished and a Planner hircd, the pro,~ect could get under-I ~ way promptly. Dr. Hooper observed that funds for this pro,ject were appropriated under the salary of the Planner and, therefore, no additionai appropriations would be necessary in this fiscal year if the Board decides to enter into the agreement. It is only a I matter of transferring them from the Salary Account to N~pping Program Account. Dr. Hooper then offered a motion that the Board approve the "~O1 Program" and enter into the contract agreement. It was seconded by Mr. Braak. Before the Dallot was taken, Mr. Vaughan offered a substitute motion that the funds necessary to carry out this pro- gram be transferred and that the program itself be approved, sub,ject to Dr. Hooper actin3 as a liaison to see that no duplication of effort is invovled. It was seconded by, . Mr. Braak and unanimously carried. The County Attorney was instructed'to draw a Resolu~• tion authorizing the executivn of the contract for planning services.
