M. Gattis, County Manager, Neal Evans, Finance <br />Director, Jeffrey Gledhill, County Attorney, and Agatha Johnson, Clerk. <br />The Chairman called the meeting to order and stated that there were <br />several items which needed to be resolved prior to the beginning of the <br />scheduled work session. Chairman Whitted recognized Jeffrey Gledhill, <br />County Attorney, who will discuss with the Board proposed legislation. <br />Mr. Gledhill stated that General Statute 105-285 provides for dis- <br />covery of property held by an exempt institution if it is acquired by a <br />non-exempt institution between January 1 and July 1. Although the listing <br />period runs from January 1 to December 31, the tax year for which you are <br />listing is July 1 through June 30th. As the law is presently written, it <br />only includes the listing of real property. This proposed act would amend <br />that to include all but business inventories. <br />Mr. Gledhill stated that if the Board of Commissioners endorse this <br />legislation. it would be taken to Representative Hune and Senator Vickery <br />to introduce into the General Assembly. <br />Discussion ensued. Upon motion of Commissioner Gustaveson, seconded <br />by Commissicner Willhoit, it was moved and adopted to endorse the proposed <br />legislation. The Ceunty Attorney was authorized to write a letter to the <br />County's legislative delegates and request that this proposed legislation <br />be sponsored .and introduced. <br />The County Attorney stated that at the last meeting he was requested <br />to review the LEAA Application for funding of an Emergency Care Facility. <br />He stated that he had reviewed the application and that he had no xecom- <br />mendatien as to whether or not the application should be supported, however, <br />Mr. Gledhill did point out that the Resolution which the County had adopted <br />provides that the applicant intends to continue the program at its own ex- <br />pense and to appropriate funds therefore subject Only to budgetary limita- <br />tions. He added that the Resolution stated that there is na commitment <br />from LEAA for funding beyond the first year and that at the end of the <br />first year, there will be a final comprehensive evaluation of the project <br />by the director of the project and the Youth Services Needs Task Force. <br />Mr. Gledhill stated that cost for continuation of this program beyond <br />the first year would probably be between $47,000 and $50,000 per year. <br />Commissioner Pinney stated that it was standard practice of LEAA to <br />ask that the program be continued, however, they cannot require this. He <br />added that Larry Cotton, Director o f the Janus House would provide the <br />administratien of the program, and that the County is committed to fund <br />5 percent of the monies, at a cost of $2,500 for the first year. <br />Upon motion of Commissioner Pinney, seconded by Commissioner Walker, <br />it was moved and adopted to authorize the Chairman to the Board to sign <br />the Subgrant Application and that $2,500 be allocated as the County's part <br />for funding of this project. <br />(Far copy of Resolution committing Orange County to 5 percent match <br />see page 235 of this book.) <br />
