Commissioner Walker stated that he had questions, which he read to the Board concerning the qualifications and background of a chosen consultant. Commissioner Gustaveson stated that the Board had spent aver 18 months in discussion of qualifications of the architect and he felt that a very thoa^ough review of the architect had been made. Further discussion ensued. The Chairman stated that the-Board had decided at their last meeting to engage Mr. Nassif as the architect for design of the Grady Brown School building pending the County Attorney's review of the Contracts. Commissioner Gustaveson suggested that Mr. Pinney and those with questions meet with Mre Nassif and the County Attorney to review the Contract.

He added that should there be any questions concerning the contract that the document should be brought back to the Board. Commissioner Pinney seconded the motion. The Chairman called for the vote. Voting aye were Commissioners Gustaveson, Pinney, Whitted and Willhoit. Voting nay was Commissioner Walker. The Chairman declared the motion passed. Item 13: The Finance Director will review a proposed budget amend- ment. The County Manager recommends adoption of these amendments. The agenda attachment stated that the proposed budget amendment in- cludes the establishment of two new funds as well as numerous changes in the General Fund. The. two new funds account for the School Bond money and the Section Eight Program. Tn the General Fund, the nichol on the bottle money and the Sheriff's Special Account axe appropriated per the frequest request of Commissioners. The School Capital Outlay appropriation, replaced by Bond Funds, is moving to the General County Building Account. Three amounts, one for Courts-Equipment, one for Motor Pool Supplies, and one for Miscellaneous Community Development, were erroneously not appropriated and need to be added to the budget. One, the Community Aevelopment Project has a revenue source, not yet received; the Courts-Equipment for Courtroom Furniture was appropriated in the previous year, but not encumbered and consequently should come from unappropriated Fund Balance; and the Motor Pool-Supplies for auto stickers was never appropriated and it is suggested that this come from Contingency. One additional sum is required to balance the Miscellaneous-Street Surfacing Account. $2,367 is the total cost of the first project and it is recommended that this come from Street Assessment. Commissioner Gustaveson moved that the budget amendment be adopted. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Whitted. The Chairman called for the vote. Voting aye were Commissioners Gustaveson, Whitted, Willhoit and Walker. Voting nay was Commissioner Pinney. The motion was declared passed.
