TRUCK BIDS - ?

furnish a one-half ton pick-up truck for use of the Drainage Supervisor, to be received
and opened at today's meetino. The following bids were received:
Hinson Truck Sales 8 Service Co„ International Truck, Net after trade-in $1501.00
? Raney Chevrolet Co., Chevrolet Truck,. Net after trade-in •1271.38

bidder and that $271.38 be appropriated from the County Home Emergency Fund to supplement
the $1,000 in the Budget for this purpose. The motion was seconded by Mr. Braak and
unanimousiy approved and the contract awarded to Raney Chevrolet Company.
DRAINAGE PROBLEM -
The Executive Secretary informed the Board that he had a complaint from Orville
E. Eldridge who lives at 3210 Carolina Beaeh Boulevard which is at the intersection of.
? Cape Fear Boulevard. The complaint was about urater being dammed at the culvert on the ?
south side of Cape Fear Boulevard and flooding his backyard and killino his shrubbery. He
reporLed that he and Dave W. Rivenbark h2d investigated the matter and found the actual
. trouble on property being purchased`by Joe UJing, a Chinese citizen, and financed by the
Cooperative Savings & Loan Association. According to the best information we co uld ob-
tain, the pipe was installed by Nessrs. Rhodes and Moore when the property was being de-
veloped for use as an ice cream stand. The Cape Fear Boulevard was constructed by the
Foster Hill Realty Company, who informed me that it was accepted by the State Highway Com-
mission as part of their system, hovaever they refute this allegation and when I discussed
the matter with Nr. Eldridge he seemed to substantiate their contention in-.as-much as he
refused to sign a right-of-way petition for them. We further learned that the culvert
under the Cape Fear Boulevard appears to be 18 inches whereas the culvert under thg.Caro-
lina Beach Road which joins it is 24 inches. Since the widening of Carolina BeachBoulev-
?y ard, considerably more surface water is being diverted into the ditch and catch basins
which leads us to believe that the 18 inch culvert under Cape Fear Boulevard must either
be replaced by a larger pipe or another line of pipe laid alongside it to give proper out-
1'eV'for the amount of water now being carried by that ditch. Cursory inspection indicat-
ed that the surface water has found a i-reakness apparently where the 18 inch pipe joins the
21+ inch pipe and caused a sinkhole in the right rear•of Joe 41ing's property, washing the
surface sand into the culvert and thus stopping it up. This is causing the blockage of
water on the south side of Cape Fear Boulevard. The culvert is estimated to be 7 to 10
feet underground and therefore, can not be repaired by hand labor. They recommend that
it be considered a probiem of the private property owners, however, if the County assumes
the responsibility, it should be done by a contractor w'ith proper equipment to prevent
cave-ins and repair the road which will have to be cut into if a new large pipe is to re-
place the small one. Mr. Braak offered a motion that the matter be delayed until the
next meeting and allow the Commissioners time to investigate and acquaint themselves more
"fully with the problem. This motion tiaas unanimously approved and any action on the mat-
ter tabled until the next meeting.
COMNiUNITY HOSPITAL - ELECTRICAL BIDS
As authorized at the meeting on August 12th, an advertisement was run for Bids
f.or the remodeling of'the e,lectrical wiring at Community Hospital. As a result the fol-
lowing tabulation was made of the Bids received:

Nr. Broadhurst offered a motion that the Bids be referred to the Buildings & Grounds Com-
mittee of the Community Hospital including Engineer Le2and, Chairman I{elly, Commissioner
Peter H. Braak and Secretary to the Board, Paul R. Reese, for evaluation and recommendation.

returned and recommended to the Board that the Bid be awarded to the Mason Electrical Com-
pany for the sum of $18,3.83. Mr. Braak offered a motion that since oniy $12,000 had been
appropriated"from.the Emergency Fund-:to supplement and complete this contract and thaL the
contract be awar.ded to the Mason Electricat rnmpany, subject to the approval of the County
Attorney. This motion was seconded by Mr. Williams and when the votes were cast, Mr.Broad-

ruled the motion adopted. ? in the Budget for this purpose, an add3?ional $6,3?3 be

tion of this property at the price above be granted by the Board. It was seconded by Mr.

ing a check amounting to $6,486.66 representing the payment of insurance on the fire loss

authori2e the identical amount be added to the Re,ular Budget-Maintenance of Plant (B & G

ed a motion that the request be granted and that the Sudget be increased in the amount of

? Lieutenant Colonel William L. Eason informed the Board that an inspection of
? y?5
1 the heating equipment at the jointly owned building at 814 Market Street had been condemn-
ed by the State Boiler Inspector and requested the County to have it properly repaired.
Previous investigation by Maintenance Supervisor Rhoda Farrow indicated that the repairs
4TOllICI approximate $40.00 and that with the exception of galvanized pipe connecting the
boiler to the chimney, it oould be done with prison labor and a new set of grates but that
the the pipe would have to be made by a sheet metal shop. The Executive Secretary inform-
ed them that he had discussed the matter previously with Mr. Coleman, as the City was
equally involved, and he considers the repairs of such a minor nature that they should
come under maintenance to be borne by tlie occupying service unit. After some discussion,
Mr. Hall offered a motion that the Executive Secretary be authorized to see that the re-
pairs were made to the boiler and any other small items that might be required, invoicing
the City for one-half the cost including the labor, provided this arrangement was satis-
factory with Cfty Manager Benson. It was seconded by Mr. Broadhurst and unanimously
approved.

VD Clinic to Little Rock, Arkansas and that the State Board•of Health had agreed to appro-
priate $1,000 for the continuance of this service, provided the County would match it with

to negotiate further with the StaLe to see if a more equitable arrangemcnt could be made.
He stated that he was ready and willing to answer any questions the Board might have in
connection with the Budget. A discussion then developed around the two major questions
which are still unsettled. 1- Th¢ continuance of the Alew Hanover County Health Dirtct-
or's services to the Brunswick Health Department. 2- Tht appointment of the Health

donated to it in the original deed. He then moved that the County give the State thelr
right-of-way and ask them to accept this road into their system for improvement and main-
tenance. He stated at present the State would leave the trees. This motion was second-
ed by Mr. Williams and the Executive Secretary instructed to write the State Highway
Department informing them of this decision and request them to accept the street in the
Highway system.

CONSOLIDATION - ?'
The Chairman reminded the Board that at a Joint meeting with 'the City Council, e?
a majority voted to request Dr. Albert Coates to make a study of the feasibility of con-
solidating the governing bodies of New Hanover CounLy into one. He informed them that
it had been his privilege to visit with Dr. Coates during the past week when he learned
that his schedule was open for October 5th or bth. He requested the Board to set one of
these days and he would arrange a meeting. Mr. Williams offered a motion that the Chair-
man be authorized to set the date after conferring with the Mayor of Wilmington. 'The
motion was second¢d by Mr. Hall with the remarks that he thought the consideration was
10 to 15 years ahead of the trend of thought for public acceptance. When the vote was
cast, Mr. Broadhurst voted "NO", however the Chairman ruled the motion carried. (After
conferring with the Mayor, the Chairman instructed the Executive Secretary to inform the
Board that the meeting was scheduled for Monday night, October 5th, with dinner at the
Ark. He also stated that the Mayor would invite the other governing bodies of the County
with the understanding that each would pick up their check for the dinner at the Ark.)

The Greater Wilmington Chamber of Commerce, represented by President L. E.
Woodbury, the General Nanager, P. M. Camak and Agricultural Committee Chairman, Louis W.
Latham, was recognized by the Chairman. They informed the Board that the Junior Dairy
Show was scheduled for September 10 and llth at the County Livestoek Arena and invited
the Commissioners to a banquet in honor of the winners, to be held at the Marina at 7:00

and reqvested approval of this expenditure for that purpose. Mr. Williams offered a
motion that proper detailed invo.ices be presented and paid and $1500 Be;appropriated from-
the'Advertisfng Fund for-this putpose.,_It w2s'Seconded:by Ms,..Bioadhu.rst and unanimous- .
ly approved by,the Board: . .. ' . , CHAMBER OF COMMERCE - t' ?, Q ?l'GA'
Mr. Woodbury informed the Board that the Directors of the Chamber of Commerce 6,0yyy??,rJi-
had authorized a change in the policy in that, periodically, local industries would be
recognized and honored at dinners to be sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce and other
interested parties. The present arrangemen.ts are for it to be a Dutch affair and each
citizen pick up his own check. At the present time, plans are underway for recognizing
Riegel Paper Corporation, Babcock and Wilcox Company, and the Timme Corporation. Others
will be scheduled at a later date. The cooperation of the County Commissioners was solic-
ited.

be approved and the Executive Secretary instructed to send it to the State
Highway Commission. It was seconded by Mr. Williams and unanimously approved.
SRIDGE CLEARANCE STUDY -
A leiter was received from the Corps of Engineers who are engaged in a study
of vertical clearance requirements for navigation using the Atlantic Intra-coastal
Waterway. The present requirements for clearance is 80 feet and the State Highway Com-
mission are anxious that this minimum critera be reduced to 55 feet as the construction
of fixed bridges is more economical than drawbridges besides the disadvantage caused
by interuption of highway traffic when they are opened. After a discussion considering
the advantages and disadvantages, the Board was unanimous in agreeing that they favored
a minimum of 55 feet clearance but that they recognized occasions when this might prove
to be a disadvantage and thought the criteria should be based entirely on an engtneer:ing
study after a survey is completed. They authorized the Executive Secretary tc inform
the Corps of Engineers to'this effect.
FORECLOSED PROPERTY APPRAISAL -
The foliowing described property owned ,jointly by the County and City as a re-
sult of tax foreclosures was appraised by the Covnty Tax Assessor as follows:

A discussion of the procedure in this matter resulted in a change of policy in submitting
foreclosed property for approval. In the future, an offer from the interested prospect-
ive buyer will be required with a deposit of 5% of the Bid or a minimum of $25.00. Mr.
Williams offered a motion that sale of the above parcels be approved for the appraised
value but that in the future, b3ds be submitted. It was seconded by Mr. Braak, subject
to approval of the City Council and unanimously approved.
APPROPRIATION -
The Executive Secretary informed the Board that in making appropriations for
the County Home operation, the wages of a yard man who also acts as storekeeper, dresses
the prisoners in and out, and looks after the gate, was inadvertently omitted. Mr.
Broadhurst stated that at.the time the Budget was under consideration, a prisoner was
doing this work satisfactori2y but since that time it developed that a man would have
to be hired for this purpose and recommended a salary of $22.50 a w¢ek. Mr. Broadhurst
offered a motion that $1170 be appropriated out of the County Home Emerg¢ncy Fund to
cover.this expenditure. It was seconded by Mr. Braak and unanimously adopted.
? TAX COLLECTOR APPOINTMENT -
?-? The Chairman informed the Board that the term of the Tax Collector's appoint-
ment had expired or would soon expire and that it would be necessary to appoint a Tax
Collector befor¢ our next regular meeting. Mr. Broadhutst,therefore, offered a motion
--?yym that Mr. Sam W. Johnson, the present incumbent, be re-appointed for a two year term, suh-
C? ject to the concurrence of the City Council. It was seconded by Mr. Hall and unanimous-
ly adopted.
ROWLAND ENTERTAINMENT -
Chairman Holton informed the Board that foilowing the announcement that Colonel
? H. C. Rowland, District Engineer of the Corps of Engineers, was being transferred, the
? Wilmington Ports and Waterway Development Commission initiated a dinner honoring him in
view of the many courtesles and favors ¢xtended by him to the County and City, the cost
of which amounted to $281.00. After some discussion, it was the feeling of the Board that it would be in order for the County to participate in such an undertaking and there-
fore, Mr. Hall offered a motion tYiat $75.00 be appropriated from the Entertainment Fund
for this purpose. It was seconded by Mr. Braak and unanimously approved by the Board.
MANDATORY RETIREMENT -
At the.meeting on July 20, 1959 a motion was tabled for the County to.set a
Mandatory Retirement age for its employees. Mr. Williams reminded the Board that he
had originated the motion and had not changed his mind because at the present time, two
employees were now reported beyond the age where their work could be effici¢ntly effect-
ive. After some discussion, he agreed to amend the original motion, increasing the
age limit from 70 to 75 and setting the effective date as July 1, 1961 instead of July
. 1, 1960. Mr. Braak accepted this amendment as he had seconded the originai motion and
when the vote was taken, Mr. Broadhurst voted "NO", however the Chairman ruled the motion
adopted. TAX SUPERVISOR-
The Executive Secretary reminded the Board that it was time to appoint a Tax
Supervisor. Mr. Broadhurst then offered a motion that Mr. T. D. Leve be reappointed
as Tax Supervisor for a two year term provided he is willing to state that he can do
the work of Auditor and Tax 5upervisor. •Mr. Hall seconded the motion and in the dis-
cussion which followed, Mr. Williams raised the question as to whether or not an elected
G?? official whose salary was establi.shed by the Legislature could have it supplemented.for
additional work which he might undertake. Mr. Love stated that he was up to date on
all the audit work of all the departments in the County and that he could perform effi-
ciently both the function of AudiLor and Tax Supervisor. By common consent, the quest-
? ion was referred to the County ALtorney for a ruling and a report by the next meeting
and the Executive Secretary instructed to schedule it on the Agenda for further discus-
c? ?? " sion.

INSTITUTE OF GOVERNMENT
County Attorney .lohn Bright Hill informed the Board that early in the Spring
they had approved his attendance at a school for County Attorneys scheduled by the Insti- --?
tute of Government at that time but that it was cancelled later and has now been'resched-IPLP
uled for:.this•,morith`.and.'a"s the. discus"sion will center around government law, he would
like to attend. Mr. Hall moved that Mr. Hili 7ie authorized to attend this school. It
was seconded by Mr. Braak and unanimously adoptcd.
PROPERTY TITLE CONFUSION
Attorney R. S. McClelland, following up his request for clearing a title for
his cl•ient, Mrs. Lucy F. Perry, whi-ch was referred to the County Attorney at the meeting
on August 17th, received the followinc reply. County Attorney Hill finds that the min-
utes of October 5th, 1936 definitely,indicated that the Board was aware of the fact that
they had purchased the property without a Warranty deed and although it was purchased
from Mr. Bryant, he had legally bought the bankrupt assets of an insolvent bank. The
County Attorney at that time was aware of the questionable nature of the title and advis-
ed the County Commissioners to immediately enclose the property by a fence and since it
had been more than 20 years, the right of eminent domain prevailed and the County was
legally the owner of the property. He further stated that no taxes had been paid on the
property since 1954• Mr. Hall agreed with the ruling of the County Attorney and offered
a motion that the taxes be waived but that the resolution of the Board of 1936 be upheld
and the property be legally appropriated to the County. It was seconded by Mr. Broad-
hurst and unanimously approved.
SECONDARY ROAD PRIORITIES - The Executive Secretary informed the Board that Division Engineer McKim,
Messrs. Biberstein, Ashiaorth and Mallard, representing the State Highway Commission, met
in his office and presented maps showing road priorities as follows which they recommend-
ed for the fiscal year:
1- 47th Stre¢t b¢tween US 76 and Peachtree for paving.
2- Cherry Avenue Extension for'pavino.
3- Bryant Road- Begins off the River Road for Stabilization.
!}- Old Military Road or Jordan Road from US 76 through Bradley Cre.ek School
yard to the Sound for Stabilization. ' '
It developed that there was only $9,200 allocated for this County this year by the State
Highway Commission and that the recommended projects would use up approximately $8,500
of the allocation. Upon motion of Mr. Braak, seconded by Mr. Williams, the Board unani-
mously approved the recommendations of the State Highway Commission.
