Discussion ensued between Commissioners Jacobs and Halkiotis about purchasing the sites for convenience centers instead of leasing them. Commissioner Gordon asked Wilbert McAdoo to think of some way, while the convenience centers are being refurbished, to make the recyclables accessible, because there is no way to get at them at this time. Commissioner Foushee asked about how many sites the County owns and it was answered only one out of six sites. Wilbert McAdoo continued with his presentation of needs: painting at the old section of the jail in Hillsborough. Commissioner Halkiotis said that it would be important to have a listing of all historical buildings in the County's possession. The old buildings need to be painted very frequently because the paint does pat adhere well to the older wood. He said that the County should be putting aside $40,000 a year, just to be painting these old buildings. Wilbert McAdoo continued with his presentation of needs: needs at Court Street Annex and Homestead Center, drainage repair at Purchasing and Central Services, waterproofing needs.
