1959-10-07 Special Meeting503 Minutes of the Meeting October $th, 1959 Continued DR. ALBERT COATES - -'-' Chairman Holton introduced Dr. Albert Cto..ates, Dir.ector of Institute of Gov- ?? "'•..,_, ernment of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He expressed a warm welcome from the Board and the citizens of New Hanover County. Mr. Williams remarked that Dr. Coateg had done more for enlightened County government than any other man past or present, and maybe future. Dr. Coates was pleased to sit in on an actual meeting of a Board of Commissioners and stated that so long as County Government was in the hands of inen who were willing to express their convictions you could rest assured that subversive influen- ces wouid not permeate our basic grass roots system which has been instrumental in estab- lishing and keeping our individual freedom. CONSOLIDATED BOARD OF HEALTH - J-l?J_Zk A•ietter from the Attorney General was read by County Attorney Hill in which he stated the following answer to the question, "Does the provisions of the General Stat- utes 130-23 apply to New Hanover County2" "The Wilmington-New Hanover County Board of Health operates under a local act and your Health Officer is actually designated as the County Superintendent of Health. Inasmuch as you. operate under a local;law,itis my opinion that the above quoted statutory provision, enacted as part of the general law in 1957, referring specifically to "the local Health Director" would not be applicable in New Hanover County and the Board of County Commissioners of New Hanover County would not have authority to require the County Superintendent of Health to serve as County Physician in New Hanover County." After some discussion in which Mr. Williams decried the ruling of the Attorney General since he was still not convinced that the General Statutes did not apply, Mr. Hall offer- ed a motion that Dr. Davis not be named County Physician and that any monies paid for his services by Brunswick County be remitted to the Consolidated Board of Health and•that Dr. ?avis's salary be paid at the rate of $11,520.00 per annum as approved in the Budget Appro- priation Resolution. This motion was ruled dead by the Chsirman for lack of a second. Further discussion developed that a subsequent decision was made under date of August 12th at which time the Board agreed to a salary figure of $11,520.00 providing Dr. Davis was made a full time Health Director of New Hanover County and that he serve as County Physi- cian. Since no reconcilliation of these differences of opinion could apparently be reached, the status of Dr. ?avis remains as of last year. Chairman Holton reported that the Consolidated Board of Health had agreed on the following arrangement: "The salary of the Health Director to be $11,520.00 annually; to be paid by the Consolidated Board of Health; and that Brunswick County is to pay to the Consoli- dated Board of Health the sum of $1,920.00 per year to be applied to the payment of the above salary. It was further agreed that for this sum of money, $1,920.00, Dr. Davis will give give an estimated maximum of one (1) day of service per week to the Brunswick County Board of Health."

Love was absent from the meeting since he was away on vacation. INVOCATION - Chairman Holton called the meeting to order and asked Reverend C.

APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES - Upon motion of Mr. Hall, seconded by Mr. Broadhurst, the minutes of October 5th were unanimously approved as written. ALTERATION BIDS Pursuant to instructions on September 21st authorizing the Executive Secretary to secure Bids for proposed aiterations in the Court House, Mr. Broadhurst offered a motion that Lhe Bids be opened at this time. It was seconded by Mr. Williams and unanimously approved. The following Bids were then opened: Howard H. Everett & Co.

When the vote was taken, Mr. Broadhurst voted "NO" but since all the other members voted "Yes", the Chairman declared the motion carried and in- siructed the Executive Secretary to proceed with the work. SPA PLAQUE - Pursuant to authorization at the meeting on October sth, the Executive Secre- tary displayed a rubbing of the proposed marker perpetuating the creation of the State Ports Authority as proposed by the New Hanover County Historical Commission. After some c discussion of the matter, dissatisfaction of the wording resulted in a motion that it be ? referred to a committee for revision. The Chairman appointed Messrs. Williams, Hall, and County Attorney Hill to study and revise the wording and inform the proper authori- ties to proceed with the plaque. MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION PROMOTION Mr. A. Everett Huggins, Chairman of the Promotion Committee of the Wilmington ?-' Merchants association, acted as spokesman for a delegation explaining that they were planning on placing 10 large billboards advertising this area, around the entrances to New Hanover County. He stated that that- the cost would amount to $750.00 for 60 days. He reminded the Board that,they approved_.$500::00 from the Advertising Fund last year for ? service personnel bus transportation and requested that their program be approved for ??-- this year. Mr,. Broadhurst offered a motion that $500.00 be approved from the Advertising Fund Appropriation for this purpose. It was seconded by Mr. Hall and unanimousiy adopt- e d . , ,? WRIGHTSVILLE BEACH - • W? ?? . Messrs. L. C. Rose and R. M. Williams, Aldermen for the Town of Wrightsville Beach, were recognized by the Chairman and Mr. Rose, acting as spokesman, stated that Mayor Thompson was ill and unable to appear today but they understood the Commissioners had set up $7,000 in their Tentative Budget to assist them in payment of a dredging opera- tion incurred last sprino in repairing shoreline and beach erosion. He said the total cost amounted to $33,000 and that $26,000 had been paid. They stressed the need for assistance and reminded the Board that Wrightsville Beach contributed approximately $60,000 in taxes to the County but had never made any demand on the County for help before. Mr. Broadhurst observed that in his opinion each municipality should stand on its own feet and offered a motion that this request not be granted. This motion was ruled dead by the Chairman for lack of a second. Mr. M13113ams remarked that any funds used for that pur- pose must be obtained from non-tax revenue and reminded the delegation that ABC profits were based on a division of 3/4 to the municipality and 1/4 to the County and that they received their proportionate share of the Intangible Taxes and given all revenue of the Privilege Licenses because they are called on to render that extra service. He offered a motion that the requ¢st be tabled for study until the next regular meeting for a final decision. There being no second to this motion, the Chairman ruled it dead. After,some further discussion, Mr. Hall observed that he considered this an emergency situation and did not want any inference drawn that his feelings were influenced because the officials of Wrightsville Beach had misunderstood and had included any County Revenue in their Bud- get and offered a motion that $3500.00 be approved for this purpose from the Emergency Fund. The motion was seconded by Mr. Braak and when the votes were cast, Mr. Broadhurst voted "NO" and Mr. Williams -r_equested that he abstain from voting but the Chairman declared the request granted when Nessrs. Braak and Hall voted "YES". ? ? 502 S. 18th St. Pete C. Kelly 807 Dock Street 401 N. 2nd St. D. J. Lewis 214 Campbell St. 2310 Chestnut St. Woodrow Lennon 2226 Brandon Road 726 Wood St. Peter J.
