725 Commissioner lillhoit said if only 29 positions are dppraved, support may not be sufficient to maintain an office full time in Durham County. Thus, Orange will end up providing a secretary or clerk typist to hold a Durham office open. If Durham wants a full time office, they should allocate administrative support from its Title VI allocation. Mr. Bradshaw said position No. 32 was a sanitation driver and positions 30 through 33 are in support of other titles. Concerning the non-governmental slots, Mr. Bradshaw said JOCCA needed to provide crew leaders and Title VI would provide assistance. He said JOCCA positions were approved only through September 19 but worked until September 29. JOCCA must be responsible for paying the men after September 19. Commissioner Pinney moved, seconded by Commissioner Walker, to approve 26 positions, leaving two positions unallocated and to accept the funding priorities recommended except for the two JOCCA positions, which will be transferred to "unallocated" as they are currently vacant. This will afford us options between staffing and program. We can reallocate when final allotments are known. Vote: ayes, Comrnissioners Walker, Pinney and Gustaveson; noes, Commissioner Willhoit.
