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."

ASSEMBLY -
W. G. Houck, Executive Secretary)
Wilmington, N.C. October 19,1959

ers was held this day at 9:00 A. M. in the Commissioners' Room of the Court House.

J. N. Hall, Jr, and Berry A. Ydfilliams; and County Attorney John Bright Hill. County
Auditor T. D. Love was absent from the meeting since he was away on vacation.

Chairman Holton called the meeting to order and asked Reverend C. Freeman Heath,
Pastor of the Trinity Methodist Church, to open the meeting with prayer.
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. License #1911 Bid $1930.00
Hines Construction Co, " #1584 1947,00
Contemporary Builders & Reo?,ty " #2891} 2472.00
P
Each of the bidders had compiied with all of the requirements and after some discussion
in which the suggestion was made that the floor above the Superior Court Judge's Office
be used as an interrogation room, Mr. Braak offered a motion that the work be awarded to
Lhe lowest bidder and the architect instructed to proceed, provided the contract was
approved by_the County Attorney. 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".
