' 4.9 <br /> that before the person could be hired, the Federal cuts took effect and the Social <br /> Services Board had implemented a reduction in Staff and Service; if the Commissioners <br /> had not set aside the $16,000 two positions would have been lost, rather than the <br /> anticipated one position. <br /> Social Services Director Tom Ward said that his department did anticipate <br /> an additional $39,856 due to a change in the formula for Medicaid reimbursement; <br /> that leaves about $10,000 needed for Social Services, <br /> County Manager told the Board that the County had had the roofs at Stanford <br /> School inspected tndmy. The inspection was done by Board of Education Staff, County <br /> Staff and Mr. Pickard of Pickard Roofing in Durham, The Manager said Mr. Pickard's <br /> estimate of %38,000 considered the damage, corrective action for the damage (re- <br /> roofing both sides of the gym and the connecting areas) and added insulation; he <br /> added that this 'roof would be guaranteed for 20 years. <br /> Dr. Lunsford, Board of Education Staff, told the Board that: <br /> 1) there were a number of areas regarding the Stanford roof wherein both <br /> the Board of Education consultant and County consultant agreed; 2) areas of dis- <br /> agreement are based on two points. He continued that it was pouring rain when the <br /> roof was inspected and that the Board of Education consultant had gone over all <br /> threestructures, not just one and parts of the others, and had taken up portions <br /> of the roof and "gone down to the decking." Dr. Lunsford said that Mr. Pickard <br /> himself had today agreed that he had had to replace the same type of shingles, as <br /> currently are on the Stanford roofs. Dr. Lunsford read from the consultant's <br /> letter which said that they had cut down to the jepdeck and it was split; Dr. <br /> Lunsford said this had not been done by the County consultant. Dr. Lunsford said <br /> that based on his consultant's work, which he feels was more thorough than that <br /> conducted on this date, he feels there are more extensive problems which the <br /> $38,000 spent on one part of the roof will not correct. He said there was a <br /> "difference of opinion" here and there was no problem with such a difference, <br /> however, on behalf of the Board of Education he had to "continue to advocate" <br /> for the entire $300,000 for the Stanford roof and the additional moneys for <br /> capital as requested by his Board. <br /> The Manager told the Board the problem was "not so much the pitch of the roof <br /> but rather the type of material used in the shingle" according to Mr. Pickard. <br /> The Manager said Mr. Pickard had said such a shingle would split and this was <br /> what had occured in the gym on one side and may well occur in other areas later. <br />
