Mayor 0, O. Allsbrook, Dr. Heyward Bellamy, Attorney James Fox
Minutes of the January 13 meeting were approved by motion of Mayor Allsbrook,

Salary Increases: Mr, Hall reported to the Board that the salary adjustments
were approved by the County Commissioners as submitted, retroactive to January
1, 1969.
New Sanitarian Position: Mr, Hall reported that the County Commissioners had
asked if the work of the Sanitarian (re~uested in the January minutes) could
be performed by some less expensive employee. Dr, Knox told the Board that
there is only $70,00 per month difference in the salary of a Sanitarian I and
an Aide and that the Sanitarian I would be ~ualified to do so much more than
the Aide that it would be unwise to hire an Aide for this small difference,
The Board was in agreement and Dr, Smith made the motion, seconded by Mayor
Allsbrook that we re-approve the Sanitarian I position, (Dr, Knox was asked
to go to the Commissioners meeting on February 17 to present this,) We have
lapsed salary funds to carry this Sanitarian through June 30, 1969,
-
New Nurse Position: Dr, Knox reported to the Board that we have a nurse
applicant that he would very much like to hire in view of the fact that soon
we will be going into Title 19 of Medicare and that she might not be available
then, She is a graduate of U. N, C. with a B, S, Degree, Dr. Smith made the
motion, seconded by Mayor Allsbrook that the Board approve employment of this
nutse and that Dr, Knox also present this need to the Commissioners on February
17, 1969, We have lapsed salary funds to carry this nurse from March 1 through
June 30.
, .
New Quarters: Dr, Knox mentioned to the Board the fact that this present
building is inade~uate for our needs and that we would like to start planning
toward moving to the James Walker Memorial Hospital building, Mr, Hall suggested
that Dr, Knox look over the building and bring suggestions to the County Commission-
ers on the 17th so that this could get into the planning stage,
New Board Member: During the meeting no one came up with a replacement for
the vacancy left when Dr. Knox resigned to become Health Director. (However,
after the meeting was adjourned, Dr, Frank Reynolds was suggested and he has
consented to serve).
There being no further business the meeting was adjourned,
