765 Gloria Williams said JOCCA originally requested $5,000 for weatherization. Commissioner Gustaveson said the $3,500 appropriation is for supplies only and labor should be performed by work clinics. There should be no long-term pay back items purchased. Commissioner Pinney asked if the appropriation was contingent on getting work crews. Commissioner Willhoit said, no. Commissioner Gustaveson said he thought the money should be spent on weatheri- zation, health and safety items. Commissioner Walker said there was no cost study made and we had no actual idea of how much would be saved. Commissioner Willhoit moved, seconded by Commissioner Gustaveson to appropriate $3,500 to JOCCA to purchase health, safety and weatherization materials for Efland Cheeks Multipurpose Center. Vote: ayes, Commissioners Whitted, Willhoit, Gustaveson and Pinney. Noes, Commissioner Walker. Commissioner Gustaveson said the $3,500 appropriation should be for supplies and not a work crew and the JOCCA Board is responsible for monitoring supplies. Commissioner Whitted said a letter should be written to JOCCA Board going over our discussion and telling them the purpose of the $3,500 appropriation and their responsibility for spending the money. Ms. Anne Barnes asked if $3,500 could be spent for anything other than supplies and Commissioner Whitted told Ms. Barnes the motion stated the money was only for supplies. The money is appropriated to purchase materials for health, safety and weatherization purposes. Agenda Item lOB: Improvements at Northside Multipurpose Center The County Manager said insulation for the building arrived this week and the county proposed to install the insulation with its own labor. He said the only bid we had to repair the roof was three times the amount anticipated - $14,250. We have been told we would have to remove the old shingles because the roof is not strong enough to support three layers of shingles. He said we would have to send this job out for formal bids and his recommendation is for the county to try to do the roofing ourselves. He said the roof was large and it would take same time but there are no unusual skills required. The county's cost would probably be $7,000 to $8,000 plus labor. He said the building itself is 10,000 square feet. He said within another month, the weather will be too cold and the shingles will break. He said another problem is the roof needs to be replaced before insulation can be installed overhead and both roofing and insulating need to be done. He said once insulation is wet, it never dries out satisfactorily. He said he had planned to lay chicken wire down and put vats on top of the wire because the roof would not support the insulation. Commissioner Pinney suggested putting plastic over the insulation. Corramissioner lJhitted said roofing should be done at the appropriate time and the best method would be to patch the roof now and take precautions to protect the insulation. The County Manager said it would not take long to install the insulation, two to four days. He said we could start roofing and go as far as the weather will let us. He said it.i.s better to shingle a roof in warm weather so the shingles get hot and stick together. Commissioner Walker asked how much it would cast to patch the roof. The County Manager said he did not know. He said it would cost from $7,500 to $10,000 to do the roofing ourselves. He said we needed to go ahead with the insulation and he would talk to the men in buildings and grounds about repairing the roof. The County Manager said a plumber would have to repair and install toilets in the Community School for People Under Six. He said he did not have an estimate for renovating and relocating Orange-Chatham Legal Services or for partitioning office space for staff in former Community School far People Under Six.
