D. Love, Secretary Wilmington, N. C. April 4, 1961 CALL TO ORDER The regular semimonthly meeting of the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners was held today at 9:00 A. M. with the following members in attendance: Chairman J. M. Hall, Jr., Commissioners Peter H. Braak, k. E. Broadhurst, Ernest R. Mayhan and John Van B. Metts, Jr., CounLy Auditor T. D. Love and County Attorney L. Bradford Tillery. INVOCATION - The meeting was opened with a prayer by Reverend R. K. Johnson, Pastor of West- minster Presbyterian Church. APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES - Upon motion of Mr. Broadhurst, seconded by Mr. Braak, the minutes of Narch 20th, 1961 were approved unanimously as written. HOSPITAL FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT - Chairman Ha21 reported to the Board that he had received many telephone calls favoring the report of the Hospitai Finance Committee recommending a bond issne immediately. He read letters from five different organizations urging a referendum on this issue. He had one telegram from the Mental Health Association strongly recommending early action on the recommendation. After discussing the various aspects of the problem, Mr. Metts moved that the Board approve an election on the hospital issue at the ¢arliest possible date which he understands to be July 11, 1961. There was no second to this motion and therefore it was declared dead. Mr. Broadhurst moved that no special election be callcd for this purpose unless an emergency arises but that it be voted on 9t the next regular election if the Com- mittee requested it. This motion was seconded by Mr. Mayhan. The weight of the discussion among the Commissioners seemed to revolve around the cost of the election which was various- ly estimated at between $8,000 and $12,000. Mr. McKim, as Chairman of the Finance Committee, then asked if the citisens of the County contributed funds to pay for the election would the Commissioners be willing to call for the referendum. Mr. Metts then offered a substitute motion that if private citi2ens donated sufficient money for the cost of the election prior to June 10, 1961 the question be put before the people on July llth but if they failed then the matter be presented to the people at the first election of any type held. The Chairman vacated his chair and seconded this subst,itute motion. After considerable discussion, the ballot was calltd on the substitute motion and when the votes were cast, Messrs. Braak, Broadhurst and Nayhan voted "NO't and Messrs. Hall and Metts voted "YES". The Chairman then put the question on the original motion and when the ballot was taken, Messrs. Braak, Broad- hurst and Mayhan voted "YES" and Messrs. Hail and Metts voted "NO". The Chairman ruled the original motion prevailed. Mr. Hargrove Bellamy, a private citizen, rcmarked that he did not think now is the right time to call for-an election on this matter. Reverend R. K. Johnson expressed the opinion that the Conanissioners should set a"go forward" policy, as New Hanover County had the reputation of being backward looking. DEPOSITORY - ? Tht Chairman read a letter from the First Natfonal Bank requesting that it be ? certified as a depository for County funds. The County Attorney drew the following Resolu- tion which was introduced by Mr. Braak who moved its adoption: WHEREAS, the First National Bank of Wilmington, North Carolina has requested that it be designated as an official depository for public moneys and WHEREAS, under the North Carolina General Statutcs, Chaptcr 153, Section 135, this must be accomplished by a recordcd resolution; NOW, TIiEREFORE, BE IT'`RESOLVED that the First National Bank, Wilmington, North Carolina be, and thc same fs designated as an official depository for public moneys of New Hanover County and that a copy hereof be recorded in the office of the Register of Deeds.

J. D. Raynor, Bill Walton, Jr., Ernest R. Mayhan, Kauno Lehto and W. Hall. Thty report that after discussing the details as outlined in the Commodity Distribution Handbook furnished by the State Department of Agriculture they recommtnd that the County proceed to participate in the program.

Holton, Jr., as a Commodity Supervisor at $175.00 per month and Miss S. Idelle Joily as his assistant and coordinator at a salary of $150.00 per month. While much of the re-pack- aging and handling will be done through volunteer civic organizations, it is estimated that other operating expenses will approximate $480.00 per month or a total operating cost of not more than $950.00 per month. The Chairman explained that the initial non-recurring ex- pense would approximate $350.00 -$!}00.00 to obtain a typewriter, adding machine, scales chair; and desk, Mr. J. Daniels, a representativ¢ of th¢ Division of Markets for the Com- . modity Distribution Program explained that after the first shipment all of the commodities- except beans and rice would come in pre-packaged containers and that the program could be started with all or any number of the commodities available to any group of eligible re- cipients and can be cancelled on a 60 day notice. After a thorough discussion of the de- tails of this recommendation by the Committee, P7r. Braak offered a motion that the Board approve the Surplus Commodity Program at a cost of not more than $1,000 a month as well as the employment of personnel and that an appropriation of $1,000 per month be made from the Emergency Fund with an additional $350.00, the initial appropriation to cover capital equip- ment and authorize the Chairman to organize and set up the distribution program. It was seconded by Mr. Mayhan and when the ballots were cast, Messrs. Braak, Mayhan, and Metts voted "YES" while Mr. Broadhurst requested that he be recorded as voting "NO". The Chair- man ruled the motion adopted. INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT - Mr. Chariton A. Pope, a private citizen, said that he had recently read an article in the newspaper which advised*that a Bill introduced by Representative Calder providing for additional funds to be used in Industrial Development had been ratified by the General Assembly. He suggested the Commissioners present a proposition at the next election allow- ?ing the citizens to vote on whether they would be willing to have not more than 51 per $100 ?,,}??i,,,,,,.&, ,_cvrsi2^valuation for this purpose and if it was approved, then employ a super salesman to lure new industry into New Hanover County.

AMBULANCE BILL 1___? c ? I?rcr?- ? / L' 19r"? ? ? The Executive Secretary presented an invoice from the Ambulance 5ervice Company in the amount of $15.00 for service-in connection with Ernest Clyde Bonds. Investigation revealed that Mr. Bonds was found by a group of school children alongside of US Highway 421. They immediately called the Sheriff, who in turn called the State Highway Patrol and the ambulance. The man claimed he had been hit and knocked off the road by a hit and run driver. It developed that he was a transient from New Jersey and the Welfare Department did not feel justzfied in approving payment of this bill. Upon motion of Mr. Braak, second- ed by Mr. Mayhan, the Commissioners unanimously approved the bill for payment even though it might not conform to the Welfare requirements. TRANSFER OF FUNDS The Executive Secretary reported that the old lawn mower used around the Court House grounds was worn out and beyond repairs. He has located a new mower at the City Build- ers Supply Company that can be purchased at a special price of $49.20. He recommends that this amount be transferred from Court House-Repairs to Buildings to Court House-Capital Out- lay. Mr. Braak offered a motion that this transfer be approved. It was seconded by Mr. Metts and when the ballot was taken, all voted "Yes" except Mr. Broadhurst, who voted "NO". The Chairman declared the motion prevailed.

Mrs. Green is unable to ambulate and has no suitable piace to live for a person in her condition as she can not perform personal services for herself. Upon motion of Mr. Braak, seconded by Mr. Mayhan, the Board unanimous.ly approved her admittance. ACCIDENT CLAIM - The Executive Secretary reported that he had received notice from the North Caro- lina Industrial Commission that Norah Lee Lovett had entered a claim against New Hanover County for injuries sustained while washing the floor with soapy water at the County Home. This claim is on Docket #C-1239 scheduled for hearing sometime in May. Mr. Broadhurst offer- ed a motion that the claim be rejected as she was a prisoner at the County Home when the accident happened. It was seconded by Mr. Braak and unanimously adopted. , %tr ! t4 1 Minutes of the Meeting April t}, 1961 Continued COUNTY BUILDING SURVEY - An invoice in the amount of $178.50 was received from M. H. Lander, Civil Engin- eer, for surveying County property at 198 Castle Hayne Road generally referred to as the old County garage property. The reason for the seemingly excessive cost came about because the distribution of part of the abstract on the Broome tract was drawn in error and it was necessary to resurvey the Broome tract but by so doine they not only found corners that fit the survey work but added about 20 feet to the depth of the lot. After a brief discussion, Mr. Broadhurst offered a motion that the bill be approved and that $178.50 be appropriated from the Emergency Fund to pay the bill for this survey. It was seconded by Mr. Mayhan and unanimously approved. SPA ADVERTISING - A letter was received from the Public Relatfons Department of the State Ports Authority requesting advertising copy for use in the North Carolina State Ports Magazine to be published in the month of May. The Chairman observed that he was anxious to comply with this request because of the pending negotiations with the State relative to several projects which would mean a lot to New Hanover County. Mr. Metts moved that it be approv- ed provided the Legislature had ratified the request for additional advertising funds from which to pay it. This motion was seconded by Mr. Braak and unanimously approved. COURT COSTS - A letter and invoice was received from the Supreme in the amount of $59.25 covering judgment ofr cost in Supreme County in the case of the State vs C.V. Parrish #147 in Sprin ney ruled that the cost was ,just. Mr. Metts moved that it be ferred from Superior Court-Lodging 8 Meals to Superior Court Mr. Braak and unanimously approved. S?" 1__ .-- Q? ? Court Clerk of North Carolina. Court taxed against New Hanover g term, 1961. The County Attor- paid and that $59.25 be trans- - Costs. It was seconded by PIEDMONT AIRLINES The Chairman explained that the Piedmont Airlines has applied for additional routes which would bring more traffic through IVew Hanover County Airport. The examiner has recommended a favorable report to the CAB but several Piedmont cities are opposing the recommendations. The City of Wilmington, through the Bureau of Rates, Industry E Commerce, think it is important enough. to employ counsel to appear in behaif of Bleuthenthal Field and he recommends sharing equally in this cost which will not exceed a total of $1,000. Mr. Metts offered a motion that the County support this view and authorize the employment of an attorney. It was seconded by Mr. Braak and the Chairman ruled the motion carried, as the only negative vote was cast by Mr. Broadhurst. PUBLIC IdELFARE - ADC A communication was received from NACO advising that members of the Senate Finance Committee were considering House Bill H.R. 4884 which provides for aid to depend- ent children of unemployed parents. They urge each Board of County Commissioners to con- ? ?- fer with their respective Congressmen in support of including an amendment which will pro-o-?-• ? vide aid to needy children in foster homes. Such an amendment would allow Federal parti- cipation in the foster home care program now being bornesolely by the County and State. Mr. Metts offered a motion that an appropriate Resolution in support of this legislation be sent to our Congressmen. It was seconded by Mr. Broadhurst and unanimously adopted. MUSEUM A letter was received from the United Daughters of the Confederacy reminding the ,R, Board of a previous request for an adequate location for the museum and asking them to give ?"? serious consideration providing a better place for coilection and display of historical relics and documents. They suggest it would be a fine memoriai for the Confederate Centen- nial Commemoration. Mr. Broadhurst moved that the matter be taken under advisement. It was seconded by Mr. Braak and unanimously approved, COUNTY BUILDING - LEASE ?,,,.R The County Attorney presented a lease to rent the old County garage property to ? the C. E.
